DIFFERENT KINDS OF GOVERNMENT.

A few weeks since, we gave our readers an ex-
tract from an article in a late No. OF the Edinburgh
Review. We this week transcribe the conclusion
of that article, being a summary "of the effects
which are produced by Arbitrary and by popular
Governments sseverally' on the foreign policy oil ina
tons"
We have now gone through the whole
system of European policy, and contem.
plated the distribution OF the powers which
compose it, according to the new prlncl,
oles which govern their alliances ana
their oppositions. On the one hand, we
have the Liberal or Constitutional Party,
headed by England and France on the
other, the Absolute Party, headed by the
Holy Allies, Russia, Austria, and Prus'
sia. The principle of the classification
is not accidental or arbitrary ; 1t IS ioun-
ded IN the nature of things and oil man /;
il is the similarity of political circumstan-
ces the community Of political feelings (;
and the identity OF political interests
Those states which enjoy the Dement'S OF
a free Government, those nations which
are ruled and administered by the body
of the people, differ essentially IN all I'M
p~ortant respects from those which are
subject to the will of a single individual ;
where the voice Of the people is hafo'y
ever to be heard, where they exercise NO
direct control over the Government and
where they are wholly excluded from all
share whatever in the management o
their own concerns. The conduct which
the two classes OF states are prone TO pur'
sue in these instances with their nelgh'
bors (tne only proper subject oi oul
present consideration,) is as essentially
different as their situation in point OF IN
tsrnal constitution +; and the one diversity
is the result of the other. This leads y.
to the very important subject Of Inc 81

NoRToLK, yA.-The last Beacon says,
that in digging for the foundation Of the
new Theatre, the course Of the workmen
lay through a tier Of collins, and exhibit
ed a fact not before known, that the site
of the Theatre was once a burial place.
The Herald thinks that it is probable
that the bodies were buried there during
tho Revolution, when q great part Of the
town was in ashes, and when the banks
Of the creek presented a convenient spot
for such . purpose. 1t has frequently
happened within the last twenty years IN

HOPE.
BIT PARK BENJAMIN.
Hope never leaves the human heart;
She sheds a ray beneath the plume
OF sable Death-will not depart;
But, like a moonbeam through the gloom
Where storm-clouds thicken, breaks and shines,
So that the gazer, lost and lone,
JOYS that, beyond those dark confines
A purer, brighter orb is known.
Man is immortal! Hope reveals
The solemn truth; or why should we
Long for the home that Time conceals
In some blest cline beyond the seat
The pillows dash-Life's fragile bark
Reels to the shock, yet on We sail;
Hope is our pilot-bids US mark
The beacon's blaze, nor heed the gale!
There are no terrors for the breast
Ofhim whom Hope ~sustains and cheers;
And though her promises are best
To merry minds and youthful years.
Still, when sustained by virtue, Age
Woos her mild solace; soft she breathes
Amid the white locks Of the sage,
And rose-buds in his chaplet wreathes.
The sweet consider IL have seen
Her spirit in a form of earth;
A simple girl she seemed, with mlen
OF pensive grace and tender mirth.
She gently oped a howell door,
And 10! a broad, rich beam of light
Poured in, and all the dark before
Became, like her, serenely bright!
] saw a dungeon. Chained, and worn
With anguish, lay a brave, strong mani;
He fought for Freedom, and was borne
Au,av while bIood in torrents ran
From hearts. whose loss a nation wept.
Hope came at length, like his own child,
And whispered that Oppression slept
The patriot stood erect, and smiled:
Best boon of Heaven, she visits all
But most with Grief prefers to dwell;
She flashes swift through crowded hall,
And loiters long in lonesome cell.
Ideal nymph! ,hou'rt all to me-
