the brilliancy of their entertainments. The Viscount de
Chateaubriand gave 'flee chnmpetre, a few days aeo in
the garden of the French Academy, at the Villa Medi-
cis on the Pincian hill; it wss intended to have eclipsed
ewe! y thing of the kind that had ever taken place in
some; but, unfortunately, a whirlwind upset a mu-
foie, in which a superb service of china was laid out,
and the Viscountess had the mortification of seeing it
in as instant 'educed to fragments! This file cost,
the nonsense sum of one thousand five hundred pounds.
The Marquis of. Hertfird has obtained great Mat for

of his soirées, which threw the Grand Duchess's

tale interest attached to it from this circumstance, it piss-
sesses intrinsic value as a specimen of ancient sculpture.

FRENCH PAPERS.

FROM THE &TESSAGER DES CHAMBRES, JUNE 7.

PARIS, .li:tin 6.
The respective situation of the three Powers, parties
to the Treaty of the 6th July, at present engages pub-
lic attention.

It is asked, whether Russia has remained within the
limits of the Conventions agreed upon between the Ca-
binets? whether the intervention of the Imperial arms
in the Ottoman territory, and above all the blockade of
the Dardanelles, are not a manifest violation of the
treaty—an extension given to the object which the par-
firs who signed the treaty proposed to themselves?
C l'he Messager, giving the substance of an article in
'Die Times, relative to .the naval force•under Admiral
Sir P. Malcolm, and its sufficiency to put an end to the
.blockade of the Dardanelles, saysj_
What are we to think of this language? Eng-

land become hostile and menacing towards Russia?
Will it consider itself as wholly released from the Treaty
of the 6th of July? We do not believe this to be the
idea of the English Government : it is therefore merely
as political writers that we 041 reply to considerations
which have in them nothing alithentic or official.
Let us first state a fact. Hitherto nothing has been
done by Russia that can be considered as a violation of
the •reaty concluded between the three Towers.
When in the last Sessi.in explanations were given re-
specting the Russian movements. it was clearly shown
that it was completely foreign to the terms of the tseaty
that Russia derived its.right to make war from griev.

antes of its own. which it alleged against the Porte;
and. that therefore the west Powers could mis in this
iiitervention only to watch over the general results as
,connected with the balance of Europe..
This principle was clearly established; Russia cons.
menced the war without opposition; results of various
kinds occurred in its progresi.
This year a more extensive plan for the campaign
seems to have been adopted. Russia acts on several
pqints; the invasion by land is accompanied by the
blockade of the Dardanelles.
Is the blockade• sanctioned by the right of the belli-.
gerent Powers? France has never recognised any
blockade but one de facto. The English maritime law'
is of more extensive application; the annals of Lloyd's
Coffee House prove this; during the late war with
France the principle was carried to an extravagant
extent.

It is not our business to justify the consequences that
may result from the blockade of the Dardanelles. If

the Russian squadron does any inj.iry to neutrals, be.
yond what the law of nations peemits—if its blockade
is not effectual, but a mere declaration, it is certain that

the neutral Powers ate entitled to protest against an es-
tension of the rights which war gives; but it is impos-
sible to deny the right of belligerents to establish re-
spectively blockades de./edo to hinder the employment
Of dedlipment of their forces.
There cannot, then, be a necessity immediately to
throw the English naval force into the Mediterranean.
If the object were to protect English commerce, no-
thing could be more just I but a force which would
evidently raise the blockade would change the respec-
tive situation of the States; it would make England
the enemy of Russia: it would put an end to the neu-
trality.

' As for the. annihilation of Turkey as a power—the
object supposed to be entertained by Russia—the last
campaign has proved that it would-not bean easy MCA-
sure, even on the supposition that the Cabinet of St.
Petersburgh had not openly commenced its plans, and
the limits within which it will confine itself.
Besides, what is the proof by which we can discover
such_a design? And are these proofs sufficient to au-
thot ise hostilities?
Let 771. Times reaect on• the question: it will see
that it. has reasoned with a little precipitation.'
(The Massager and QcureSte de France contain no
s front the theatre of war so recent ai that already
' ed by other channels). • •=

bearing "aloft on its,wave" those master spirits of the
world, whose track of glory no length of ttmesse con-
tueno of events can obliterate, is now drawn off into
a thousand petty channels, with a view to superinduce
an attificial fertility on the natutally barren places of
society; by which means the strength of the cut rent has
beet. broken, and its grandeur and magnificence swal-
lowed up and lost in the ungrateful soil shich it irri-
gates, but cannot in reality fertilize. Hence, instead of
healthful flowers, the promise of abundant fruit, " things
rank and gross in nature possess it merely r and filthy
weeds shoot up and choke the few sickly blossoms
which open their fading honours in this bed of death.
In plainer terms, the age of great men and great bC Wars

has gone by—that age in which it was thought neces-
sary for a man to be learned himself before he under.
took the task of instructing others; and it has been suc-
ceeded by a period, rile in pigmies, when esrry puny
whipster, without thews in his arm, or a beard on his
chin, must commence author forsooth, and inflict his
jejune puerillities and silliness upon a. long suffering
public. Marry, the time is out of joint, for what is now
called 44 enlightenment," is, in truth, little else than
darkness visible.
3. The knowledge of the present day is like gold-
heater's leaf; fit enough for lackering and gilding the
exterior_ of even the vilest substance in nature, and of
showing to the incurious and uninquiring eye, the hue
and colour of the precious metal without Om reality. It
is a mere fraud upon the senses, begotten in hypocrisy,
and requiring presumption to support it.
4. Hence the cultivation of tfie severer sciences is
generally neglected, and a race of smatterers has arisen
among us, who attempt to cloak their ignorance under
their presumption, and affect to despise that which
they do not comprehend. This holds true, in an especial
manner, regarding what the ancients denotnina,ed the
" first philosophy," or metaphysical science, which is
more completely misunderstood. and more unjustly un-
derrated, at the present day, than almost any i‘ther.
5. There are some who •affect to believe that this
sci nce wives only to darken and bewilder the undei.
standing ; while others assert that it consists in the
babbling el a pedantic jargon, analagous to the bar-
barous lingo which once istested the schools. If a per-
plexed ieastiner puzzle himself
.atirlhis audience, we are
sure to heat his metaphysical subtlety reproved or la-
mented; and he, u?on his part, seldoM fails to ascribe
the confu,ion of his own ideas to the obscure nature r f
all speculative doctrines.. If a pert rhetorician get• en-
tangled in his own sophristries, he is ever ready to accute
himself of having too much of the .very logic which he
wants altogether. There is not a mese tyro in literatute
who has blundered round 4-. e meaning of a chapter in
Plato, but is content to mistake himself for a philoso-
pher. A sciolisy cannot set up for an athie,t, without
first hailing himself a metaphysician ;. while an ie. -
rant dogmatist no sooner finds hiniself embarrassed
with a doubt than be seeks to avenge his offended vanity
by representing all such inquiries as idlcor mrschievr us.
Thus the noblest of the sciences is mistaken and vilified
by the folly of some and the prejudicies of others, by
the impettinent piejndicies of a few who could never
unders'and it, and by the unjustifiable censures of the
mad aim have never given it a fair and candid exami-
nation. Let any one look into the &initiatory prolesinns
of our modern sciolists and pretenders on this subject.
and he will not hesitate to admit the truth and fidelity
of our description.
6. Dull men are generally malignant, and we never
knew a blockhead in our lives who was not more or
less distinguished for his „slanderous and abusive pro-
pensities. His vanity, offended by the exposure of his
stupidity, keeps hies in a constant state of irritation, and
he naturally seeks to revenge himself by employing the
only weapon 'he can wield. It is said that a coward.
rendered desperate, is a more formidable and dingy-
ous enemy than the bravest man in existence. • What,
then, may be expected of such a compound as that of
coward and blockhead, when cite blind fury of the
coward and the coarse malignity of the blockhead have
been both excited by exposure ? People who have sense
enough to keep out of the. way of a mad bull, naturally
avoid such a monster, and allow him to dash
.out his
brains on the first stone wall,he can find to run his head
against.
7. Men never quarrel about any subject in regard to
which an ordinary measure of-certainty is attainab!e.
.Mathematicians, for example. seldom Wrangle nedis-
pute, but, on the contrary, live together 'on, terms of
pet feet amity and cordiality, pursuant 'their investiga-
tions and interchanging their discoveries.,,without the
slightest tinge of jealousy or suspicion, far less hatred.
It is among those who are occupied witit'ulicertainties,
and who stake their reputation on theoriel?biltipinions
as " fugitive and fugacious* as a King's AVlDartey Ge-
neral, that we naturally look for envy, and make, and
all manner of uncharitableness. t.
8. But some professions are more remarkable for
this amiable distinction than others. Take that of Me-
dicine, for instance, and just open your ears that you
may hear. If you judge the Gentlemen of this proles.
sion upon their own showing (which, boss Ever, you
must not, for they are aH* honourable men"), you will
infallibly come to the conclusion, that they are little
better than a body of licenocAl murderers. Their great
object, and indeed
.theic principal employment, is to
vilify and traduce One. another. Ask of A his opinion
of B, and to a dead tertainty be will tell. you that B
kills all his patients ; cOnveyies to you the appalling
information its a confidential whisper, with a shake of
'the head, and a churchyard. sort of look which speak

unutterable things. Again. ask B his opinion of A,
and you will find the compliment exactly reversed,
with perhaps some little addendum like this—o I know
that which. if I chose to speak it out, would hang the
villain." 3onsetinses, too, a little junto, united fur the
monce by a common interest as well as a cesium hat-
red, club their wits to run down an unlucky devil who
happens to stand in their way either to profit or prefer-
Meat t and the means which they employ for accosn.
-phobias this praiseworthy purpose are as ingenious as
their perseverance is admirable. A puts in circulation
a calumnious and defamatory story. calculated to de-
stroy the reputation, perhaps effect the life, of the ob-
noxious individual; and it travels for souse time ere it
is known that such a slander it in course of being pro-
pagated. Well, an inquiry it set on foot. and the lie is
bunted through a thousand doubling. and turnings,
until at last, by accident or good luck. it is traced back
to the foresaid A, its real author. And he, you will,
imagine. is now in a precious scrap.e. Not a bit of it.
Me equivocates, and &litotes, and insinuates of course, 11
and after a great deal of-palaver about the rumour be.
ing quite general, and so forth, be at length mentions
B as the person from whom, he thinks, he first beard
B is then applied to, and admits, with much seem-
ing candour, that he told the story to A ; adding, how-
ever. that he had it from C; and he, again, had it from
D, who had itfrom B. who had it from F, who had it
from A, 11, C, D. E, F; so that, although you ye co&
fident that the story must have originated witrone or
other of the junto. you can Dever bring it home to any
one of them. And this the ball goes round, without the
possibility of stopping it, until the most monstrous and
absurd fiction that malice ever hatched, comes by men
frequency of repetition to be credited. or perhaps even
received as an admitted or indisputable truth. That
such things should be is certainly much to be deplored;
that they are, who that knows the little medical world
around us can dispute? The odium theologieese has been
long, perhaps. unjustly proverbial:. but from the aims
modicums may the good Loan deliver all boom man
with fair and unblemished reputatiOns I
9. Lawyers never backbite and traduce one seethe'.
This is a fact, which those who choose may endeavour
to explain. They are not accustomed, like the Doctors,
to talk fur the mere pleasure of talking; and all their
evil or atrabilious humours are commonly expended
either on the unfortunate client, or the no less online.
nate Judge. Besides, the very necessity of professional
contention begets, by the usual rule of contraries, a
higher and stronger relish for;that private and social
union by which they are, and always have been, so
honourably distinguished.

10. A learned person was once asked this question—
"OF all kinds and complexions of scoundrel, which do
yoc consider the greatest ?" To which be replied—
" The sacred scoundrel; for the very protection which
he enjoys. and to which he trusts, necessarily renders
him such."
