the days OF Brutus, Caesar and CoroIanus

manifestations of the early spirit, which,
whether successful or not ultimately, cannot
fail to obtain the respect Of the world at pres

.unon Rome, Pius the VI, threw open its
gates when Napo con sent his insincibIes to
the Vatican, Plus VII received them with
omen arms, but when the people took the gov
crnmcn in hand, and France sent an army
of friendly cannon aud bayonets to protect
them, the people, not understanding The mean
ing of this armed intervention, marched ou'
and cave the French nogging, much to
their astonishmcnt and amazcmcnt. The
news ostonishcd the new President, TO whose

COLT is probably known to most Of our
readers that our friend Fuller, Of the New
York Mirror, was a candidate for the Marshal
ship of the ST uthern District OF New York
but, for some reason, the dood-tido did not
lead him on to success. He met his disap-
pontment with all the ease and grace of an
ancient philosopher, and concluded that ta-
king the census and hanging pirates was not
very pleasant business, ,Iafter all; a correspon-
dent alluding to the matter, sends him the
following -

to disappointed applicants for office. Perhaps
it may not be without an application at the
present day.

Hon. Mr.. MARsH,-We find the following
paragraph in letter Of the Washington cor
respondent Of the Baltimore Patriot, under
date Of the 9th inst. Mr.. Marsh's familiar
acquaintance with the language end literature
Of Germany, as well as most of the States of
Europe would probably render his appoint
ment to the post in question as agreeable to
the government of Berlin as it would be hon
orable to our own.
Messrs. Marsh and Footc of Vermont, Ex.
Governor Young, of New York, and Kent, Of
Maine, are still here. Mr.. Marshs friends
(and among the warmes Of them is Mr..
Foote) have recommended him for the mission
to Berlin, now held by Mr.. Hannegan, (who
resigns next month) and most capital recon-
menda,ion it is, too; George p. Marsh is one
of the ripest scholars and rareat lingusis ofthe
age. lie is polished gentleman, OF modest
yet winning manners, and has shown by his
course in Congress Tor several years past, that
he is a statesman of high and patriotic views.
At that renowned seat in Berlin, he would be
a safe and vigilant guardian Of the interests OF
the United States, rs well as a shining repre-
sentative of the literature and morality Of the
American people
