From tlts tN0shsssgeon eSsty Lhrosstote. Sketches of Mr. Berrien and MT. Tan Buren.
 Thereis very hrief, but, we think correct sketch of the character of the present Attor- ney General. MT. EGrrien, in work pub sh- ed in this city about year ago, which we have extracted.
 "It is Senator Berrien, of Georgia, whom you will perhaps have an opportunity of hear ing before the session closes. Hisperson you perceive is remarkably fine, his countenance mild aud prepossessing. and his whole deport- nent courtly and dignifed. As an orator he stands deservedly high in the body to which he belongs. His manner is graceful and ele- gant, handling his subjects with the skill of a logician, and strewing his course with the choicest flowers of rhetoric. He seldom em- pioys the shafts of satire against his antago- nists; and when he does, he wreathes around them so, many roses that the wound is seldom felt, and never rankles. His address is so bland and gentlemanly that we apply to him with propriety. the
 Dulce ridsntem-duice koqMentem,
 of Horace. His voice is full of melody and sweetness, and every motion of his body is influenced by natural and irresistible grace. His reasoning is subtle and ingenious; but wants condensation. He gives to what he
 
 ners, but by the sweetness and harmony of his style, and the 6ne current of thought he pours out. He does not indeed throw of any striking or splendid images, or present any highly colOred and beautiful pictures of imagination to the nearer; hut he contrives tokeep the mind de ightfnlly employed by an agreeable succession of ideas. and plea sing exhibition of practical logic, the anima Z lnwsw Inf Fsnknss ss-IassGs+-sy
 We take also the authors sketch of MT. Van Buren.
 {" Mr. Van BureD took seat on the sofa between Marion and myself and entered in. to conversation with great deal of freedom and ease. He was small in stature. had light colOred hair, and fair complexion. There was great neatness in his person and brisk: ness In his motion. His remarks. Iobserved.. were made with caution.
