MADAME DE syAEL AND THE UNITED STATES.
This celebrated lady, the daughter Of
Necker, and who has filled so large space
in the eye of the literary world, has be-
queaihed them three volumes under the IT,
tie Of" Considerations on The French Rero-
luton. "-These have just issued from the
Press, and are read with the utmost avidity
in Europe. The Analectic Magazine OF
August has taken some notice of Madame
de Stael, of her works, and particularly OF
the postbumous volumes, from which it has
made an interesting extract respecting the
United States HfF

ton, at one period, of emigrating To these
United States. We heartily wish she had
done so, as she was prepared by her poll
tical opinions, TO view our institutions with
an unclouded and even affectionate eye
She has not overlooked this nation, and we
transcribe the following passages Of the
third volume
"That admirable good sense which is
founded on justice and security, exists no
where but in England or America. y
There is people who will one day he

stain only obscures the perfect splendor Of
reason that WHITES that country-slavery

when Congress shall have found remedy
for that evil. how shall we be able TO re-
fuse the most profound respect to The insti-

comes it then that many English allow
themselves to speak with disdain OF such
people. "They are shop kee ers," they
repeat. how did the courtiers Of
Lewis XIV. talkofthe English themselves?
The people of Bonapsrte's court also, what
did they say? The Americans, it is true,
declared war against England al a very i'll
chosen time, with respect to Europe. But
America on this occasion looked only 10
what concerned her interest-and she can
certainly not be suspected of having wish

the declaring war unseasonah'y against
England justify the burning ofWashingfon?:
