F. NoUNcED has become sovereign; THE DRYUNoIA- TOR, one of his high officers; appointed by his so yEREiGN WILL commissioned by his SOVEREIGN HAND. What field for full commentary; but mo- will not so comment l will be silent will re- fleet So let the reader. live in the land of free men; in land ofmen of intelligence, and ofpublic spirit; men whose bosoms burn in devotion to lofty virtues, in whatever land they may shine; men who will be ready to hail with but the louder exclamation.

Nor will speak ofthe spirit of bold liberty that must exist in Il country where plain individual has such voice to exert in
 the midst of its whole aristocracy face to face o its very throne; the former, eagerly though calmly, s- tenlng without interruption or reproach; the latter not daring to touch or menace Lair of his head- Less still would desire to dwell upon whatever of error or nermity it may have been, that coula have surprized this prince of the blood into the course re- prehended. The last choose to forget as the world will forget it, in the kngly virtues which shows that he could forget all that the advocate said What might have been blot upon the princc the king ef

Ii was so with our immortal Washington. It was so, in part, that he gained, not the transient adulation of the day which is not al- ways just If honest, and is often the more fulsome as the more venal, but name that will last as long as time, and Is as spotess as it is resplendent name that stands out in history, and stands alone name ofwhlch future Putarchs will say, here is an example ofal that sgreat ofall that is good stand ard of iull-orbed excellence that must not be lower ed by rash unholy parallels It is the true divine right to govern, that begirs by being able to govern ourselves to have the mastery over all passions that might mlslead; to extinguish all sellshness; to be- ware oi lavorltlsm; to dcafd all private griefs; to abhor all personal malice This power of control. the cblc virtue in uers because the root of all other virtues necessary to theirgOverning we'll and which makes them models Tor mankind has been signally in the present monarch of Britain and it ever was in our beloved Washington It IS an augu- " so far, that his reign so be swayed by expanded and liberal maXms, the more cheering from the low ering aspect of the political horizon around him, DOT tending explosions that may shake the earth to its centre. Trne wisdom fies after all, in the heart.- The beautiful prayer thatw raise before the altar of the Deity IS, ," incline our hcaqts to wsdomn The elevation of Mir Denman to the ministry shows that the king of ofEngland's heat is sound. It shows, mo- ble lesson that he has no memory of dises as the duke oi Clarence, of alronts to the duke of Ca- renee to refresh with eager malignity or to hug in grovellng revenge; that with the ustre of the dl- dem sparkling, whilst its weight presses upon his brows, he consigned them all to an immedate-a magnanimous oblivion; that he looks exclusively to his country and it's immense interests, which are drawing into them the interests of Europe also, at this crisis of dsmay; that whomsoever he may dis charge from his counsels, or summon to them, he will do 1t upon this simple basis without any unwor- thy, ow-minded, intrusons of self n tho momen- tous business ofhis empire that he has no hungry passions Of any kind to gut, in the sanctuary of his country This say, shoots geams of hope i.to the despair that predominates in my mind, greatly pre- dominates, for the peace ofEurope, though Earl Grey be the English Premier. Such are England's means oi aggression now, even beyond any she has ever wielded beiore notwithstanding her great debt that other nations the colossus of the north amongst them, will watch her decision with anxious aerna- tons ot hope and dread. It is remark of Sir Will liam Temples, that he could never find better way of judging ofthe resolutions of state, than by the personal temper and passions of the sovereign for the time being, at its head May the resolutions of Eng land then bear auspciously upon the cause ofhuman rights and liberty. Let us hope it, whatever our Tears. Her present monarch has done an act which aests, ifnohng else did that his passions are under government; and as to the magnanimity of his tenn per- that t is worthy to be classed with that of ri tus, Vespasian, or a Washington.
