We have on file. splendid and beautifully
composed article on :. the oral cause of revOu-
tions,'' written in September last, previous to
the late change in the British Ministry, by Sir
James Macintosh, one Of the most able and lib
eral statesmen of the present day. portion OF
the article is devoted to a consideration of the
difference in rulers, between the real Statesman
ofenlarged and comprehensive views, and uubend-
Ing integrity, and the one who depends for the
success of his schemes, on the arts of cunning
and intrigue. and who makes all other objects
subservient to his own sclfishuess. The contrast
he has drawn, struck US with peculiar force, Had
it been written with express reference to the
state of things in tins country, it could not have
been more aptly done. -1NassachusSefts Spy.
..In almost all the Courts of Europe, the ad-
ministration of Offices has been entrusted to men,
not recommended BY superiority Of virtue and in
tellect, but by the low articles of cunning, and
the base accomplishments OF intrigue. Need we
wonder, that with such advisers, the rulers OF the
continent .shave sowed the wind and snail reap
the whirlwind?' Let us take the ablest OF the
class, Meternch. Does that veteran Jesuit
in policy know how, lie Themistocles, to make
a small community great aud Hourlsh,ng State
or is he better qualified to make the authority Of
great empire politically base and morally DIES.
picable: The whole course of his POLITICAL career
has shown that, though dexterous politician, he
is no statesman. The former is person who is
destitute of the true capacity to govern, but is
with the lille arts by mhich pluce IS
preserved, with mind fertile IN The resources Of
gaming hut destitute of wisdom. His ambition
turns on the pivof of ssl and his fortunes ex-
eated by the degradation of the country. IN
shackled by principle, obdurate in heart, and adj
roit in Discrimination, such minister regards hon
orable sentiments and Political integrity as the
accomplishments Of oets. He banishes every vir-
tue from the range Of his debauching influence,
and considers successful treachery and deception
as the criterion of political talent and the consul
nation of able policy. Need any one who has
read history Alright and who has seenin the vicis-
STUDIES of empires, the glorious ways Of an cter-
nal Providence, be told that such a minister,
