[Concluded in our nert.1

Mrs. RoYALL--We have often graced our
columns with the name OF this far-funeG Lady,
that We shall claim her friendship. and particular
good Will, whenever it may be IN her power TO
confer extraordinary fivours upon mortals, though
we are not quite sure, that we should have saId
one word concerning her, IN this days paper,
were We no, disposed to JOIN with our friend of
the Novburyport Herald, who with all that gai-
fontyy, for which gallant men are proverbial, has
come out IN the dcfencesof the literary matron,
and IN an argument equal 'er7e and gallant, has
as',mcd the pir of defender oflterary-or
rather blue stocking lldes.
The gentleman, with a true spirit Of literary
chivalry, asserts that Mrs. Rovllls talents, have
not been hidden under bushel, but, that on the
contrary, she has let her | ght shine upon the
ws.d,-and yet that world, has been inf
mousy u';knd, as not 10 reward her according TO
her merits but has suffered her talents to pass off
unrewarded, and The be-, l'iiil emanations of her
pon--which, b. tho way, - size saws, entitle her
to the appeation of the American Wa erley-fall
stll-born from the press. And then, by the way
of comfort--lnd he is one Of Jobs comfor ers-
he advises her, If she is compelled TO complain, 10
be ,on3oled with tho reflection, that OtNav, after
labouring for years, and writ ng for the benefit of
the world, and for tho literary reputat on Of Eng
land, was reduced TO bcggary, and suiiocated hlm-
self in eating crust Of bread in garret at st.
Giles-that Chatterton, drank dose of poison in
fit Of despair induced by the cold-hcartedness of
the world, and tho .llibeiality of those for whom
he laboured! A pretty dish of cold comfort, is
this, most certainly! we hope that Mrs. ROYAL.
will not ldministratc to herself any such consola-
ton II her books don't sell, as we'll as she could
wish let her make another, and ano her, until she
convnces US, that she is what she really profess
es 10 bo, the Walter Scott Of America.
Mrs. Royal, We would have the world, and the
edjicr OF the Newbmyport Herald beside, to know,
is not to be put down, by few snarng cynics,
who ungencrousy, yet fu'lely, attempt to cramp
her genius. She is made of sterner stuff, and her
fame will survive the shafts OF malignity, and tho
scandal of envlous competitors.
But Mrs. Royal complains, that her book don't
sell as it should, ard hence she considers herself
nightly injured, and who wo,l no.. after spend
ing zen lobg and tciio years n nr.'ng for tho
public, and after all meet wlth cold neglect. As
are anxious that our fair friend apd goodly au-
thor should be in the money making way, we
will give her word Of advice, which taken, our
word for it, she will soon ind herself merging to-
wards state of happy dependence.-Let her at
once cease writing novels, and turn dramatic
thor, and actress; and associate herself with the
Rev. Sumner Lin on Fairfield, and play Juliet to
his Romeo, or Lady Randolph, to his Genalvon,
as the case may be, and we are perfectly assured
that she will meet with abundant success. flour
fair friend should object to this, and say that she
is too old to sumo the character Of juliet, we
shall remind her that Mrs Odicld, Mrs. Mattox
and Mrs. Oldmxion, played the part when
they had passed the goodly period of three score
years and ten, and that consequently there is not
tho least impeachment on that account But f she
takes onr advice, she must throw away that thr-
ty-sy inch pipe of hers, for how very odd it
would look TO see the signing Juliet, enter to meet
her desponding Romeo, with pipe stuck in her
mouth! That's all.
