society of his friends he was always frank sod cor-
dial; bet in larger links rather reserved. Whet he
once approved •f, he followed sp with enthusiastic
ardour. In all that he did he gave first the most
patient consideration to the work, which he executed
with determination. His exterior is interesting sad
prepossessing. His figure is sleeder.

N. DI CASE! has obtained for himself mere lasting
h by the lime and attention he his bestowed
upon the ameliorating the slate of the prisons in
his country, and testifying his feeling for the condi-
tion of their enfortenste inhsbitants, than has fallen
to the share of any French Minister for this ceotery
past. Jails oft*n contain tw• classes of prisoners—
the best of men and thu worst of men ; and if the
wrier of this can event among his acqesiotaece a
certain number of sincere and Womble Maids, a
great part of them were °billiard by a contraction of
sympathetic regard sad (totem in out of the above edi-
kes of tfiliction. It is only serprisiog, that in tbese
times of open venality, when se many men glory in
the prn6t of literary prnatitetion. that our Jails and
Houses rf Correction are a* thinly peopled with
Pattie's. But Court intrigue, Counsel trick, end
Slagistesial assumption of power above the law,
have broken down the spirit of our HAMPDEN! and our
STAVE Y!, and we must wait for sew limes and now
occasions, and for the re-appearance of the WAL.
zscrs from the Highlands of Scotland, sad even for
the Tru.s from the hills of Switzerland, ere we shall
have new instances of patriotic self.devolion.—
Would it have been believed the day could ever ar-
rive, when a slavish writer, a creature like a prism,

the sun, in which he hopes always to bask at kis
rape, could attack a system of prison-regolatioos, be-

It has sometimes been a complaint against King.

and venality are always linked together, the on.

limns." in England are the price of every thing
(witness Sir MANAs•EII MASnii LOPLZ, who frigid I

one dungy ad). When that is the mire, they attract
consideration from all, and soon supply the lilac, of
birth, vide., sail talents, sod are sought after as the
mania* bonen.. 'flies, in order to corrupt the
subjects, those at the helm are careful to cherish the
People's avarice by keeping op the spirit of gaming
among them.
Such was the craft of the Cabinet in Franc. andl
Holland, and which has been outdone of late by this'
enaatry, though it was brat practised in Venice—
Not to mention lotteries, which are so fiequent at
Venice, it Is e fart, that daring the whole Carnival
many public Bidet,/ are opened for games of chance;
bet what will appear more extraordinary, at every 1
table a Member of the Great Council, in his gown,
lits as the banker.
By this artifice people are also prevented from
knowing and rreecting on their situation and condi-
tion. Whilst the desire of acquiring fame barns is
the breast of a few wee, and they are greedy after
glory alone, liberty is secure. They stand erishaken
at daggers, disheartened by no obstacles, and re.
strained by no consideration, less fearing the moat
horrid Indere then the opprobrium of betraying
their coontry tea tyrant. Witness year Svontvs,
your Prlmi•er.s. your Rossaxis, your WALLACII.--
King% accordingly, prompted or aided by their ac-
cursed Ministers, lose no opportunity of changing
ithat object of glory. *or fame, which the Public
dirpenses, they substitute honours, eih;ch they alone ,
distribute; and instead of making dignities the re-1
II ward of services done the patria, they make honours
I or pensions the Salary of services tendered to the
Crown (witness the renegade Bunn.). Thus such
creatures are covered both with infamy and marks
of dignity, and these marks of mote are soon vs. I
Ned at the espence of merit, video, and talents.
Hence wise two opposite effects: men of abj.vt
principles seek after dignities, alto of an elevated
mind despise them. Disgraced by the use they are
made of, and the persons on whom they ate be-
stowed, to become worthy of them is no mote the
pursuit of worthy souls. 'lts said even that a cer-
tain great Persunsge is so Bile pleased with the
character of some few of his Nobles, that he is de-
termined to create no more for some time In C 0.,.
