CANADA.

Referring to the late political Developments in
the neighboring British Provinces, the New York
Post saws
From these movements it is evident that party,
with Mr.. Papineau at its head, will endeavorto ef-
feet separation Of the Canadas from the dominion
of England. For long time this party has thrown
obstacles in the way OF the Royal governors, and
the Legislature has been unable to transact the bust
ness coming before it. We are inclined to think the
time is not remote when the Canadians shall be
freed from the yoke Of foreign dependence. Many
indications point to this, but If the English Govern
ment did not voluntarily assent to it, II will not be
accomplished without difficulties Of great magnitude.
The country isnow brisng with the bayoneso of Bril-
soldiers who far from being placed thereto shield
the people from external foes bent on intimidat
ing the reformers and suppressing the rising spirit
of rebellion at home. 1t is thought by some that
revolution there is physically impossible from the
geographical face of the country. The principal
point OF the st. Lawrence is commanded by an i'm
pregnabe fortress, in the hands of the Government
General Wolfe having, in 1853, obtained possession
of this, obliged the whole lower province, then in
the possession of France, TO surrender Besides
which, since that period the improvements in steam
navigation, would enable the British to transport
troops to any part of the province in few hours,
before revolutionary force would be able to con-
centrate itself The country is said, to have
depth, mountains or natural Businesses by which in
surgents could be protected. They would be ex-
posed to the attacks Of well disciplined soldiery
and their numbers reduced. But Notwithstanding
these difficulties, determined people would find
means to overcome such obstacles. Ii they could
secure the sympathy of their neighbors much would
be gained, and with pecuniary great deal
more. Whether Mr.. Papineau is such military
man as could take the lead in movement to achieve
the independence of the province by arms, is more
than we know He appears TO be a politician Of
nerve, talent and great power over the minds of his
countrymen, and he has managed to secure the CO.
operation Of very large and powerful party. But
can he head warlike movement with any prospect
ofsuccess2 Can he meet such military command
er as Sir Henry Cobournel II is said, however,
on the other hand that the British Government will
hardly venture 10 incur the expense Of protracted
war The Canadas are at this moment burlhen
to the British Government and there is not wanting
party in the mother country which is in favor Of
allowing the colony 10 govern itself Even the pre-
sent British cabinet does not appear to be altogether
decided in its course Of policy towards the Cana

the Tuilleries, the Grape was instantly slipt
of, and put into the pocket"
The following we have seen before, but il
has been thought sufficiently unwon, for
place in late number Of Blackwood. Ii is,
without doubt authentic.
A woman of rank wrote to Talleyrand n
long and lachrymose account OF the loss OF
her husband, hoping perhaps, that the gallant
ry and sensibility Of the minister would ac-
cord her pension. His whole letter in re-
ply was, Helas Madame" A few months
after, the widow wrote him word that she
had consolled her grief with second hus-
band, young officer, and requested con-
tinuance of the minister's favor. for herself
and spouse. Talleyrand's second reply was,
simply, !. Ho, no! Madame"
The following is good, but not SO charac-
teristic as to insure its authenticity.
"When told the Duke of Bassano had re-
turned with Napoleon from Moscow. Then
the bulletin les said Talleyrand, for it
states that the Emperor left all his boggage."
While the Secretary Of Foreign Affairs, a
young man was recommended as attache to
an embassy. Copy this said Talleyrand,
throwing him memorial. 1t was copied
Bah! what are you about 2 said the minis
ter. Drying the ink was the reply
"Then you will not do for French embas-
sy. Blotting paper betrays secrets"
"A certain lady requested his name in her
album. He CALAMITY consented, and com
menced penning verse. Stop" said she,
"verses will do from inferior men, and the
name alone Of Talleyrand is glory enough for
my book. He gave her keen glance, and
wrote the name-5ut at the top Of the page.
Next day all Paris laughed at the dexterous
evasion by which he had escaped the vexa-
ton Of finding his name signed TO billet Of
10000 francs.
"All this" said the writer in Blackwood,
sis dexterous but what is this verbal dex-
terity to the practical skill, with which this
extraordinary man has contrived TO battle all
the casualties of thirty years, full of the ruin
Of all power, ability, courage and fortune =
Here is the survivor of the age Of the Bastile,
the age of the guillotine, the age Of the pri-
son ship, and the age Of the sword. And al
ter battling the Republic, the Democracy, the
Despotism and the Restoration he figures in
his S0th year, as the ambassador to England,
the minister of France, and retires from
both Offices, only to be the chief councillor,
almost the coadjutor of the king That where
the ferocity Of Roebespierre fell, where the
sagacity Of Napoleon fell, where the expert
ence OF the Bourbons fell, this one old man,
priest in land Of daring spirits, where con-
spiracy first, and soldership after, were the
great means of power-should survive all,
succeed in every thing, and retain his rank,
and influence through all change is unques-
tionably one of the most extraordinary instaIl-
ces of conduct exhibited in the world"

TAKE YOUR POLITICS HENCE.

ny T. HAYNES BAYLEY, ESQ.
Take your politics hence! tor one evening, at least
Drive that demon Of discord away from the feast;
TO my party the men Of all parties may come;
II they'll only just leave party feeling at home
The speechless, In public, are ever, see,
Little wrator Puf's In snug coterie;
II you name your vile Aesse, you will give me Of

OIL let my house be neutral-take politics hence!
These politics now are become quite pest
What fuss ere we venture to ask a new guest!
E. T. do you see, would be welcome to me-
But then-do you think he'd chime In with J. On"
So the pleasantest men you must sort and divide,
When you find that their politics don't coincide
If you name your vile house, you will give me of
fence,
Oh let my house be neutral-take politics hence!
The ladies are now a political race!
And instead OF soft whispers In private they each
Wish to hear young mans Parliamentary speech
A rsformtng old Tory, you now may look big,
And I'll call myself a Conservative Wing:
And we'll tell the fair creatures to talk common
sense;
For that my house is neutral-take politics hence!

PROFESSOR fuckers LIFE OF THOMAS
JEFFERSON. t#

knOrGSSOkS TUCA EIt'S LIZ Il OF THOMAS
JEFFERSON.
We extract the following notice of this interesting
and valuable work from the London Spectator OF
August the 10Th, which had already four months
previously, devoted some space TO its examination
II will be seen that the work is at once highly COM
plimented, and strongly censured, so that, on the
whole, Professor Tucker has little reason TO COM
plain; STILL cannot but think that the critic has
dealt unlustly with him, in condemning him for hav-
ing COMPOUNDED history and biography, when Coke,
in his life Of Walpole; Thackeray, in his life OF
Chatham; Middleton, in his life of Cicero, and Mar
SHALL in his life of Washington have done the same
thing without having excited comment
The life of eminent public characters is in truth
so incorporated with the history of the country in
which they live that il is utterly impossible were 1t
esteemed advisable and think il is not to sepa-
rate them; and bographers of this nature partakng
so much OF the gravity of history are in some mea-
sure excluded from the detail of those little personal
incidents of private life, which, by addressing the
sympathies OF the reader, give such charm to the
biographies of individuals in private stations We
believe II will be found that the life of Jefferson
communicates as much Information touching the
personal character and acts of its distinguished sub
ject, any of the works mentioned and great deal
more than Marshall gives of Washington
Nothing appears to us clearer than that as in our
arbitrary divisions of the departments of literature
we have separated history from biography, and we
may have two kinds of biography-he one Of public,
the other of private men; the first being in the ma
ture OF things, to which class
the Life Of Jefferson" belongs and although this
form OF biography may be less attractive to the ge-
neral reader il Is far more useful to the statesman
the legislator, and the student of history

Mr.. Calhoun then went on TO shew that credit was
absolutely necessary 10 a country like ours. He
proved that convertible paper unfit for currency
and proposed government lssu Of paper, proportion
ate to the laU Of demand This is his basis. He
showed that currency bears to property the ratio OF
10 rs, and hence his opinion that nothing should sub
Ject currency to greater vibration than gold or sill

tive now humbled and advised it to seek strength
in consulting the wisdom of the nation In conclusion,
