The following is copy OF the plan form
ed by Joseph Bonaparle for exciting rev
olution in South America. Napoleon Boz
naparte's emissaries having failed 10 bring
about revolution in his favour. his BROTH
er Joseph took it in hand, principally with
a view to prevent the allies from being fur
nisbed so largely with the "sinews OF
war;" which tended to protract the con-
test in the Peninsula. No less than ninety
millions Of dollars are said to have been
transmitted for this service in the course OF
the two years previous TO 1910, by the
royal inhabitants of the Spanish provinces.
A copy Of this document was found in the
archives of the supreme junta at Caracas,
and may be considered as genuine. II will
be seen that the plan Of revolution was got
up with as much ease as pantomme /; the
wires were TO be drawn with much dexter
ity, and, 10 ensure success every thing, was
arranged to hatter the prejudices Of The
people.
Ii has, however been otherwise ordained
by Providence, and their independence is
destined TO be achieved by their own hands.
No friendly ally seems willing TO step in to
their assistance they are seconded only by
the funds of individuals and their own de-
termined bravery:

ton has whispered that the hopeless lover
clasped the proud beauty to his arms. Tins
desperate exercise ofdesperate passion was
visited by the reigning Duke with the in.
dignation which envious power delights TO
exert on intellect. The successor OF Ho-
mer-the rival of Yirgil-was committed

Unfortunate in love and immortal in fame,
the bard OF Jerusalem is now avenged on

ing wonder of the world, so The recollec-
ton of Alfonso is produced only by his bar
barous effort to ruin majestic mind. The
house Of Este would now be forgotten, but
for its unnatural union with Hanoverian
dulness. Even the beauteous Leonora
would be undistioguished amid the ignoble
clay around her, fher charms were not per-
petuated by their conneXion with herscor
ed, but deathless victim. The cruelty OF
Alfonso is punished by Lord Byron in three
vigorous stanzas, in which his genius evil

unsatisfactory note, the agency Of Salviati

Perhaps Addison's sciolous remark about
"Tasso's tinsel " might be suffered to pur-
sue its hesdlong progress 10 oblivion, with
out even momentary impeachment, but sure

Mr.. EDIToR,

Mn. EDIToR,
The following charge, delivered during
the present term of the court now sitting
in Washington to the grand jury, by his
honor judge Thruston, is SO rcplete with
sound morality and good sense, that
must request you to publish it in your
useful and extensive paper. The judge,
with frmuess becoming his station, has
dared to arraign in a proper manner
darling and destructive habit. 1t is to
be lanented that the beastly, degrading,
and ruinous practice Of intOxicatlon does
not meet, from all who possess influence
in society, The same manly and decided
opposition. 1t is hoped that the senti'
ments of the judge will convince some
persons that houses Of disorder arc not
essential to the growth and prosperity oil
any community, and that sobriety' good
order, and moral habits, will promote
the welfare Of any people, A. B.
Gentlemen Of the Grand Jarg.
In the absence Of the Chief Jus
tice of this Court, the duty OF address
stag You on the subject of your lnqni-
sitorial functions, when you withdraw
from this bar, has deyolved upon me.
This duty so often occurs, AS to leave
no room for novelty or variety !; the
subject matter of discomses OF this

IMPRESSION, although it presents con-
alterations Of the first Importance to

rity for we are secured in both only
