MADRID, Jens 18.

In a late consistoty, the Pope, on the recommenda-
tion of Bolivar gave the canonical institution to several
Bishbps of our American colonies. This affair at pre-
sent greatly engages the a'rention of the Spanish Cabi-
net. M. Apirici, Spanish Charge d'Affaires at Rome,
'cominunicating this news to his Government, states
that this. measure is.the result of a concordat between
Rome and Colombia, concluded by its representative
Tertadd. Orders were immediately dispatched to all the
authorities on the frootie,s, enjoining them not to admit
the new .nuncio from the P .pe.

Of all the miseries of human life, and Goo knows they ate mini-
fold enough, there are few more utterly.bearr-sickaring and'over-
wheiming than those endured by the unltieki Heir Prentinotrilin
when, after having submitted to the whims and captives fif NY:

for a long series of years, he finds himself cut off wits a shaillie. or •

friend (usually a female housekeeper, or spirittiallitivisir) who, ca-
tering the vineyard at the eleventh boar. (the rocissisiumeut at
which Ids patience and humility become exhausted), carries off the
golden prise, and adds another melancholy confirmation, to those

whether duty, affection, or that more powerful incentive self-
interest; how long or hew devotedly he may have humoured the
foibles or eccentricities of his relative; or whit sacrifices he may
have made to enable him to comply with his unreasonable caprices
the result is almost invariably the same: The last year of the Heir
Presumptive s purgatory, nay, perhaps even the last monthi or the.
last week, is often the drop to the full cup of his endurance- His
patience, however it may have been propped by self-interest, or
feelings of a more refined description, usually breaks down before

such infinite labour tO'lleCt, falls to the ground along with it. It is
well ff his personal exestlons,lind the ammiyances to which he has
subjected himself daring the best period of lass existeace, form the
whole of his sacrifices. But, alas! it too often happens that, en-
couraged by the probability of succeeding' in a few years to 'an in-
dependent property, end ambitious, moreover, of snaking such ail
appearance in iodety as will afford the old Gentleman or Lady no
excuse for being ashamed of their connexion with him, he lennehes
into expenses be would never otberwiee have dreamed of
and contracts debts without regard to his positive means of liqui-
dating them, on the strength of a contingency which, if be could
but be taught to believe it, is of all earthly anticipations the most
remote and uncertain. A passion for unnecessary expense is, under
different circumstances, frequently repressed by an istaillity to pro-
cure credit ; bet it is the curse and bane of Mr. 08110111011.11 nephew,
and Miss Seveali's niece, that so far from any obstacle being op-
posed to their prodigality, almost. unlimited indulgence is offered,
nay, actually pressed upon them..by the tradespeople of their
wealthy relations ; who take especial are that their charges shall
be of a nature to repay them for any consplalsanee or long suffering,
at it regards the terns of credit, they may be called. apes to display.
But independently of the additional expense into which the Heir
Presumptive 1r often seduced by the operation of these temptations,
and his anxiety to live hi a style in some degree accordant with his
expectations, what is besot called upon to endure from the caprices,
old-fashioned Ootions, ecceotticities, avarice, and obstinacy of the
old tyrant.to whom he thus contents to. sell' himself, and it may he
his family, body, and sod, for an indefinite mother of years?
