INTERISTING NOTICII.-Mr. GLOWER. When WO Were
tint acquainted with this eminent artist, be was located in Staffordshire,
and engaged In the profession chicly of writing muter, in the ye,
1806. His taste for water-coloured landscape drawing, soon opened a
better arena for his talented labours, and he met with rapid success
upon his coming to the metropolis. The drawings which be dispiapd
to his Muds near Litchfield bad often for subject, a bedge.rou ar.d
beysod it a wood in mist, relieved with a few cottage gables and
else; the foreground was a single field, embellished with boa
of
mu* recumbent or grazing. This kind of picture be took
pleasure in, and painted so often, that he became perfect in its
don and execution. The misty distant trees whlch yet displayed melt
species, and characteristic distinction" were so exquisitely givew by kr.
Glover, that in the richness of foliage and of branch's, sod sibs Ins
ever.vs:ried and feathered utilise, particularly of Ye ash teem sty vd
love, be ranked as the best English imitator of C. Lamas, wA a
rival of that eminent painter in distances, and mills, andridd, embd.
Wised landscapes, it would not be too much to Time the name of Gls.
ver ; subordinate, indeed, to that of Wilson. The particulars of the
liberal encouragement which Mr. Glover received from the nobility am
gentry, the high purchase of his elegant drawings, and the minims.
don paid by scholars, it would be useless now to relate • but a &cum.
stancewhkh does honour to the heart of this celebrated draughtsman
has calked the present succinct description of his works. His dues
sons having emigrated to Van Diensan's Land, Mr. and Mrs. Glover,
prompted by that Matra, or parental affection, which was admired as
one of the virtues of our nature by the ancients, almost equally with
filial reverence and respect to old age, have themselves emigrated also to
our Australian colonies; they each approach the age of seventy, and
suffered something by the long passage ; but we have heard from a near
relative of theirs, that they have disembarked in safety. We consider it a
memorable circumstance, that Van Dleman's Land should have been
visited by so good an artist ; sod confess that we should hear with much
satisfaction, of some younger painter of equal talent, making a year's
residence in those counuies (as W. Wooten, indeed did, for • short pe.
rod,) with the purpose of sending home good pictures, which would be
most interesting.

The Journal du Havre, speaking of a famous Memorial
from the pen of a quondam Minister of the Emperor Napoleon, the
Duke de B. having been found by the committee appointed to condeet
the preliminaries of the impeachment of the Alinisters of Charles X.
says that " the coup-distal reserved to be carried into execution by the
tsd..slavotis bands of Peyroomet and Polignae was recommended to the
Kink by this writing, as the only means of saving the Crown and the
kingdom." The Duke de Aware, imagining himself to be the person
pointed at by the Journal dst Havre, has protested against this
imputation by a letter, in which he says " Consulted some years
beck on public affairs by an honourable personage then in credit
at court, I me him a memorial, which was without my knowledge laid
before the king. This act shall not he concealed from France, though
is but of very little importance, and I have already sent it to the press.
It will show my real sentiments as to ooups-d'elat. Though written in
haste, I give it with all its errors. M. Nourisson, formerly deputy of
the Haute &one, and now member of the Royal Court at Besancon, saw
It at the time It was written. Two years ago I showed it to Mesers.
Alexandre Delaborde and Arnault, of the Acadimie Francaise, with
several other persons. They will be able, if called upon, to attest that
there is not one word changed. One of the ministers of that period said
it was the work of a Jacobin. It was that of a citizen whose principles
have never varied, and of whom the Emperor in his memoirs de.
dared that he always maintained the doctrines of the Constituent
Assembly."

The Moniteur contains an article relative to the grades
conferred during the Hundred Days, and the refusal on the part of the
Government to records. them. " If these grades were acknowledged,
it would be necessary," says the Moniteur, " to acknowledge, all the
appointments, promotions, decorations, pensions, and even the peerage;
conferred at that time, which would throw heavy burdens on the Tres.
sury." The official journal adds, that this question is not of a nature
to be decided by ministerial authority alone, but is sufficiently serious
to be submitted to the legislative authority. Consequently the Govern.
matt intend to bring it before the Chambers.
