BIOGRAPHY.


THIS woman pofeGed much frength
and grandeur Of mind but it appears
that hiftory mutt reproach her with two
great crimes-the death Of Peter III.
and the death of Prince Ivan. May
not thefe crimes Be aGcribed to the fero-
CITY and ambition Of her lovers ? She
was not only endowed with that vigor
and elevation Of mind which is the belt
prefervation from guilt, bat even poi
fefed benevolence and fcnfbility Of
heart fne was weak to her fayorites
he loved children, and the apartments
Of her palace were filled with them
Ghe loved and fought for the aPproba-
ton Of all enlightened men: finally,
and what will tend mott to remove the
imprefion of the reproaches withwhich
fhe has been loaded, lhe reigned thirty
four years with dignity, and even with
ferenity, while Orlof died in the ago
MES Of a tortured confidence. II Ca
tharine was the monfer fhe is defcribed
to have been, it mutt be admitted as a
principle, that confidence is an organ
of which it is pofible q rational being
may be deprived difcovery in hu-
man nature which cannot be made
without pain.
A life Of the Empress has lately been
Publilhed at Paris, attributed to the pen
Of count de Segur.
The character Of the Emprefs, her
Lovers, her Favorites, and her Gene
rails, are correctly deicribed in this hif-
tory and the motives Of their actions
are well developed. All the details
befdeS that interef which is excluively
their own, poGefs a precifion BY which
they contribute to render the work
more perfect whole. The portrait Of
the Emprefs runs through every part
Of the book. In each page fome char
a6erittic trait is to be found.-The
myfery Of her political conduct fince

died by Catharine hcrfelf, in dialogue
in which the author fuPpoles her to take

vantage Of the disturbances that prevail

the invaiion Of Poland, and 1t was ne
cefary thatI fhould not be the only fov-

keep alive and prolong thore dil}ur
Dances. The portion Of Poland which

emperor to feize on, is only depohtin
their hands, for which they fhall fooa

continue to lavih away the treafures

Tie Human Pa6fon5, J't.-Our nature,
diverfeIy cultivated, decides upon our
faculties, as well corporeal as intellectual
upon our qualities as we'll moral as
Phyfcal. A man who is languine and
robuf, mutt have frong PaGions BIZ
lious and melancholy man will have
fantaGical and gloomy pafions a man
of gay and brightly Imagination will
have cheerful pafions man in whom
phlegm abounds, will have gentle paf-
lioRs and Tightly violent. 1t is upon
the equilibrium Of the humours that ap-
pears to depend the fate Of thofe whom
we call virtuous their temperament
appears to be the produce Of combi-
nation in which the elements or princi-
pies balance themfeIveS with fuficient
preciGon 70 that no one pafion carries
more than another into the machine.
Habit as we have feen, is the nature Of
man modified, this furnilhes the mat
ter education, domeitic and national
manners, example, &c. give it the
form and Of the temperament which
nature Preients to them, they make men
realonable or irrational-fanatics or
heroes-enthuGafs for the public veal
or unbridled crimInalS-men enlight-
ened or fuPid-wile men fmitten with
the advantages Of virtue, or libertineS
plunged into every kind of vice. All
the varieties Of the moral man depend
upon the diverle ideas which arrange
themlelveS and combine themielves in
the brain, various by the intervention Of
the fenGe. The temperament is the
produce Of phyfcal fubfances the O.
Pinions good or bad-true or falfe,
which arrange themleives in the human
mind, are never more than the efed
of thOle Phyfcal imPulions which it
has received by its fenies.
