state of health ; but by attention to a certain regimen, which he
adopted and adhered to with a degree of firmness highly cha-
racteristic) of his decision, be so far recruited his constitution, as
to attain to an age, at which comparatively few arrive. Ile was

NlEmotits or Jails EVELTN, Eao.—lt is not sur-
prising that this Work should continue to excite an
extraordinary degree of interest. Mr. Evm.vo lived in the
busy and important times cf King CHARLIN I. OLIVER CAou-
wiLL, Cswures 11. JAMES I T. and King WILLIAM, and be early
accustomed himself to note such things as occurred, which he
thought worthy of remembrance. He was known to, and bad
much personal intercourse with, the Kings CHARLES IL and
Jaws 11. and was in the habits of great intimacy with many of
the Ministers of those two Monarchs, and of the eminent. men
of those days, as well amongst the Clergy as the Laity. Fo-
reigners, distinguished for Learning or Arts, who came to Eng.
land, did not leave it without visiting him. His manners we
may presume to have been'of the must agreeable kind, for his
company was sought by the greatest men not merely by in-
viting him to their own tables, but by their repeated visas. to
him at his own house; and this was equally the case with regard
to ti Ladies, of whom he speaks in the highest style of adrni-
ratioA, affection, and respect.

The Reply of the Marquis of Hasnocs to that part
of an. Address of the British inhabitants of Madras, in

moved the Restrictions that have hitherto tied up the

" My removal of restrictions from the Press has been men-
tioned in laudatory language. I might easily have adopted that
procedure from my habit of regarding the freedom of publics.
Lion as a natural right of my fellow-subjects, to be narrowed
only by special and urgent causes assigned. There seems no
direct necessity for those injudicious shackles, but in this mea-
sure I have been guided by a positive and well-weighed policy.
If oar motives of action are worthy, it must be wise to render
them intelligible throughout an empire, one hold on which is
opinion. gurther, it is salutary for supreme authority, even
when its intentions are most pure, to look to the controul of pub.
lie scrutiny. That Government which has nothing to disguise,
wields the most powerful instrument that can appertain to so.
Taoism rule; and let the triumph of our beloved country over
tyranny-ridden France, speak the value of a spirit to be found
only in men accustomed to indulge, and to empress their honest
sentiments."
