D'Esaista has given uskalla doien voliimes of the
Cithosities of Literature. Mr. NtettoLa has nearly
doubled that number of volumes of Literary Ant's.;
dotes, an f we have now a worthy comoanlorf to
these excellent works in the " Relics of Literature,
by S r re; lEN CO LL Ft A.M." one of the most interesting
land ele:,ant volumes that has appeared during the
present season. -
The Ileiics of Literature, ,though not pretending
to be an original work, is more so thin many that
are issued for the press claiming that rank. It con-
sists of a well arranged collection of highly curious
and interesting literary articles, apparently selected
with much care and good taste fiom,a variety of
sources nit generally accessible, including some cu.;
riot's relics from the ,British Museum. The Relics
of Literature arc not, however, a mere collection of
transcripts, for mast of the articles are itftroducedby
some acute reflection or apposite remarks, with sere-.
al otiginal articles, among which we would point-Out
an ingenious E,say on Autographs; or Characteristic
Signatures, and soineremai ks on cut ions Surnames.
Among the extracts from the MSS. in the British
Museum, we were much pleased 'with some letters
from tile witty Hail of Rochester to his wife and'son ;
and cliche who have only considered him as a great
libertine and a sincere penitent,' may be glad to find
that he posse sed the better qualities of the heart,
and was a kind husband and an affectionate parent.
But, peiliapv, one of the most attractive featnres in
the Relics of Literatute.is an engraved sheet of forty
autographs of the moit distinguished individuals for
rank or talents that this country has produced, in-
cluding fac-similes of the hand:writing of all the
Sovereigns of England from Henry VIII. to his pre-
•sent Maje,ty. inclusive, Shakspeare, Raleigh, Cran-
mer; Lationer,Walpole, Rochester, the Duke of Buck-
ingham (scito figures so conspicuously. in Peveril of
the Peak), Bolingbroke,. Addison, l)ryden, Massinger,
Congreve, Marlborough,. Sir,lsaac Newton, Locke,
Hogarth, Fos., Pitt, Sheridan, &c.
-We ate at some loss to fix on an extract where so
many aitieles present clairris to the distinction, but
we are induced to-choose one entitled " Drawing In-
ferences," whit), is accompanied by a Note, stating
that. it is "the. original of an amusing Story,. under -
the title:9ll-.The Professor of Signs,' in Mr. M‘Diar.
mid's Scrap Book. The Grecian Sage is there con-
ivreed into n learned, traveller . in the reign of James
the First ; the Senate of Rome into the Settatus Aca-
4enticus of Aber:sleets ; the three fingers into a sym-
:bol el.tho Trinity. ac. Such is the course-of local
appropt iatioa to which all good stories are subjected."

• Greece claimed for herself On benour
•buirmi the birth-
place of Legislation, while Some Wascatially Snihiiiutti to have
the coedit of a greater olsedkure to ISws than any of the sur-
founding nations. -The antbltion of the ratter was better founded
thin the pretensions.of the former. For what' is the value of
laws without • their observance? The ilturdins requested a
copy of the laws of Solon, to make selection from them for
their own government ; they did them tien inure hunotir
than the Athenians, f..r what they adopted front them they
rigidly observed. In the Spear, (idle Sciefaza; a book written
by L. Fioravant, A very curious anecdote is recorded concerning
this request of thellumans. _ _

" On their arrival, the . Roman Ambassadors having ex-
plained the cause of their journey to Athens,* the great Council
was convened to toothier rot their request. After mature dell- •
aeration, the Areopitgus determined to ;trd a rarsua to Rome, .
of kunwu abilit, and wisdom, to ascertain whether the Romans
merited the honour of the-laws of Solon, on account of their in-
tellectual abilities. If the loquiry should establish the negative,
the Ambassador was to bring the laws back again without COM.
munkatiug them to any one. This resolution of the Athenian
Court was soon known at Rome, notwithstanding the secrecy
with which it ItA4 attended. The Romans were greatly em-
barrassed, because they had no person 'qualified to encounter a
wise man of Or,eci. The Senate resolved in their wisdom to
oppose a foul to the wise man of Greece, rightly judging, that if
the fool shoultiliappen toget the better, the glory of Rome would
receive no small enharicement, when it should be discovered
that an idiot of Rome had confounded a philosopher of (hetet ;
and. it the tatter should get the better the Athenians would ac-
quire small tame in having confounded an idiot at Rome.
" The. Athenian ambassador, on arriving at Rome, was irn-
meiliatAi Conducted to the Capitol, and introduced into in
' apartnis et very spienlidly furnished, where the fool was seated
upon a sofa, attired in the dress of - a senator. He bad in the
utsaotime been ettinned silence, in the most authoritative man-
twr. Foe Greetau philosopher was informed, that the person
to whom be was to be introduced was a senator remarkable for
his wisdom, but, at the same time, very reserved, and a man of
few osoiths. The Arhenian, therefore, upon his (-nuance, held

FRENCH PAPERS.

'Os

FROM TILE JoURWAL DES DEBATS OF SUNDAY., FEB. 2-
We have quoted an article front the E.spectador,
continuing ridiculous exaggerations on the military
means at the disposal of the Cortes, and we have
pointed out this vulgar method of deceiving the tnul-
titude. We have. to-day received positive informa-
tion on the real state of the armies of Spain.
Twenty-three thousand -infantry, including the
army of Mina, are all the troops which they possess
to guard the Pyrenees and the whole Peninsula from
Barcelona to Cadiz, from Corunna to Carthagena.
This fact shews how the Royalist Guerillas can main-I
Lain themselvcs and advance near t i the gates of the
Capital. There ate, further, five or six regiments of
Cavalry, hut they are reduced to two-thirds of their
numbers. The corps of Artillery and Engineers are
likewise far from being numerous : they almost uni-
versally want a war materiel, complete and orga!
nised for service. The extreme weakness of the Spa-1
nish Marine is a fact acknowledged in ginisterial
reports of the Spaniards. Six ships of the line, and
seven frigates, ate all their navy that can put to sea.
Such at pre.ient is their fleet. It is known that Spain
purchased, some years ago, four bad ships of the line,
ready to fall to pieces. We can add, that they were
on the point of purchasing
.from us two old hulls,
which are now breaking up in the port of Brest.
We do not desire to humiliate Spain by this true
picture of her weakness. Her honourable poverty is
the fruit of her efforts to defend her King ; but can
the Cortes resist with so feeble means, especially when
a great body of the nation seems opposed to the ex-
istiug order? How guilty, then, are those men, who
by falsehoods endeavour to deceive a people who have
it still in their power to save themselves from the
honors of war ?

PARIS, JANUARY El.
PROM THE COURIER FRANcAIS..

Many conjectures have lately been made concern-
ing the cause and ol.ject of the journey of Prince
Metternich to Munich. The following letter, written
by a person filling an important situation, will give
our readers accurate information concerning this jour-
ney, as well as concerning the present state of liav aria :
• _
_tt Bloocu, JANUARY 200823.

" Prince Metternich passed through: Munich, on
his return from the Congress of Verona, and stopped
there three days. His presence in our capital caused
a general uneasiness, which is not yet over; it was
known before-hand, that he did not come to add one
jot to the little liberty we enjoy; we are not ac-
quainted, in all their details, with the communica-
tions which this diplomatist has had with our Minis-
ters; but we have at length been able to learn the
ptincipal, and we can now affirm with certainty,
that, after a long commentary en the Verona Circu-
lar, Prince Metternich presented a Note to our Go-
vernment, on assembling at Vienna a new German
Congress g n which changes, under the name of modifi-
cations in the German Constitution, and particularly
the means of suppressing intiermany all manifestation
of public opinion, either by the publiCation of Parlia- '
mentary and judicial debates, or by the publication of
Newspaper.. and periodical works, will be discussed.
It has also been proposed to abolish all the Universi-
ties of Germany, and to supply their places by insti-
tutions similar to those of Fiance. The union also
of a Corps of Observation, composed of Austrians
and Bavarians, orf the side of Landau, in case of war
between France and Spain, which appears inevitable.
On this occasion also the project of certain territorial
changes was biought on the carpet, and Austria has,
it is said, manifested a desire to acquire Passau, in-
demnifying Bauer is at the expense of Baden, or of
some other country. However this may be, it seems
certain that the Prince did not fiud our Ministry
wholly favourable to his views, and all the Bavarians,
friends of order and tranquillity, hope, from the wis-
dom and patriotism of our Ministers, that they will
firmly persist in their resolution of maintaining what
already exists.
" But it may be asked, what does that diplomacy
definitively mean, which for eight years has regu-
lated the affairs of Europe by Congresses ? When
will it cease to occupy itself periodically with people,
who only desire to enjoy in repose the benefit of their
institutions? In Bavaria we are tired of perpetual
changes—united in the interior, devoted to our king
and his dynasty, we place all our hope in the funda-
mental law of the kingdom, and in the gold faith of
these who are charged with carrying it into execu-
tion. This Charter, the immortal work of our au-
gust Monarch, is for us the pledge of happiness and
repose. We have no actions, no spirit of party di-
vides us—we only know from hearsay of the existence
of demagogues and Ultras; and we have some rea-
son to expect that the policy of foreign Cabinets will
net trouble the repose we enjoy. Moreover, the Di-
plomatists cannot be ignorant that our Princes—our
great public bodies—our functionaries—all our citi-
zens, have solemnly sworn fidelity to the Charter.—
We are constantly told that Religion is the firmest
support of thrones and *of social order...-and of this
we are con'.'inced—but is the sanctity of oaths then
to he excepted? And how does it happen thatchose
who desire to combat the revolutionary spirit act pre-
cisely as if they followed the same principles, -since
they incessantly provoke changes and destructiou of,
the most legitimate institutions?
" Among us the publicity of the debates of our
Chambers, the moderate liberty of the press, troubles
Leither our repose nor public order; they compro-
mise neither the dignity nor the security of the
Throne. The Emperors of Austria and Russia may
have convinced .theuiselves of this in seeing our dig-
nified Monarch at his castle of Tegernsee, without

fiary to that which they desire tops-educe. It is ihe
same with the Daily Papersi.gid little liberty which'
they enjoy, far from exciting trouble or inipiring
content :against the Government, impie the public,
satisfy curiosity, and calm the uneasiness which an
unskilful policy has so long nourished in Germany.
" Shall the' Bavarians, then, be reduced to the
melancholy condition of neither seeing nor judging
but with the eyes and mind of the Austrian Observer?
The liberty of the Tribune offers even less inconve-
niences, and cannot be displeasing, except to some
blinded or corrupted courtiers, who have collected
abroad maxims of despotism which can never be
successfully transplanted into the German soil. Be-
sides, the gallery open to the Public in our second
Chamber scarcely contains fifty persons, and they
now speak of reducing it still more, as was done in
France some time ago."
We shall not examine thoroughly the question of',
the suppression of the Universities; those of Bavaria
have always been very tranquil. . We shall content
ourselves with observing, that if ideas of politici and'
liberty have been introduced among the students, the
Governments of Germany have only themselves to
thank for it : it was they who kindled in young hearts
the love of independence, by exciting them to hatred
of the yoke of Napoleon. It was repeated to them
that this conqueror would destroy al! the liberties of
Germany, and suppress the Universities. How can
it now be pretended to make them think good. what
was then represented to them as so odious? The Ger-
man youth has too much candour and rectitude of
soul, and we shall add, too much good sense to-enter
into the terms and subtilties of the policy of diploma-
tists. But we must above all be astonished to see Prussia
adhere to similar projects, she who owes her rank and
her power to the lights of the age ; to the liberal ideas
generally diffused ; in a word, to that moral strength
established by her immortal Frederick. It is this
strength, joined to the patriotism of her army and
'her landwehr, which puts Prussia in the rank of great
Monarchies; it is that which alone will give her the
power of following freely a beneficent policy, which
is marked out to her by national interests opposed to
those of her neighbours: .
We cited yesterday expressions of the Quotidienne,
proper to make known the real object which a party
proposes to itself in rushing into a war with Spain.
The Draircau Blanc, whose fire despises all considera-
tions of the suitable and the politic, contains to-day
an avowal still more naif; we transcribe it literally.
" There has glided," it says, " undoubtedly through
inadvertence, into a Journal which has constantly de-
(ended sound doctrines, this singular phrase:--' Re-
presentative Governments will soon have nothing hut
admirers, if it contrives to put an end to revolutions.'
This involuntarily recalls to us a certain Professor,
who began a lesson of chemistry, by these words

substance, if it was not a very dangerous poison."
