on court-days. The Queen is present at every council of state, and delivers her opinion in a decided and judicious manner. Her memory and judgment excite universal admiration. She writes with elegance, clearness and precision, for the most part in Italian and French, though occasionally in German; and she laments that the present system of education has occasioned the study of her mother-tongue to be neglected. The Emperor Joseph jokingly said, “ My dear sister writes more than my whole cabinet." She strongly resembles her immortal mother, but surpasses her in taste for philosophy and in religious toleration. The religious works which she and her German court most esteem, are those by Mosheim, Jerusalem, Sturm, Spalding, Zollikoffer and Herder. Her present fatherconfessor is an intelligent capuchin. Rainer, her secretary, is a man of penetrating mind. The Queen is fond of conversing with men of learning, and investigating their opinions. She intended to invite Necker, to arrange the finances; but with many natural resources, he would have had to encounter more difficulties here than in distracted France!

a farewell work, though only part of an extensive plan- a Metrical Survey of the British Isles,' which the au thoress announces she has relinquished the hope of realizing. It consists of various poetical views of different parts and features of our native land, and has several episodes descriptive of per sonal adventure in love and war. These we are sorry to find too long for our bounds, and must therefore content ourselves with a passage of more universal application, as a specimen; to which we shall ad two other extracts relative to Scotland and Ireland; which together will afford the public a fair opportunity of forming an opinion upon the merits of this production.

Among them is particularly distinguished the widow of Filangieri, an accomplished woman, a native of Austria, and the Duchess Giovane, at present in Vienna, whom, after her separation from her husband, the Queen invited to reside at the Court. Some persons endeavoured to persuade the Queen, that for the maintenance of the throne the strictest precautionary measures were necessary: "But we are no tyrants," said she. Though a Queen, and the daughter of an Emperor, she is always dressed in a style of simplicity. She cannot endure to see her female friends and attendants painted. With the King she lives in a state of domestic confidence and happiness. Nothing affords her so much pleasure as to spend an evening with her children, when the business of the day is at an end. In considering the character of this sovereign, we may justly

SCOTLAND.

Hail, Caledonia! though bare hills be thine,
Though round thy temples no soft myrtles twine,
Though at thy feet spread no luxuriant vine-
Born 'mid the storm and nurtured in the snows.
Yet through thy land the soul of Freedom glows,
Oh! in that land where Wallace nobly bled,
Where valour oft the heart's last drop has shed;
Where the rough Highlands sheltered Learning's
ghost

From the last crush of an invading host;
Where Bards, half-veiled by mist, of freedom

sung,

And clans re-echoed in the mountain tongue,
Gave the full pibroch to the listening vale,
And warm'd the ardent spirit of the Gael ;-
In her praise of Ireland the authoress
is equally warm; and it may be proper
to remark, that Mrs. M'Mullan's is by
no means a querulous muse; it rarely
or never censures, but perfumes every
object with poetic incense
Never did Erin greet with aspect cold
A needy wanderer from the Muses' fold;
But in her huts displays the humble store
That marks her spirit, though it speak her poor.
Convivial circles, round her peat-warm'd hearth,
To many a tale and many a song give birth,
While strangers mingle in the mirthful lays,
And Feeling pours the tributary praise.

Though joys once hallow'd bloom no more,
Though faithless friends forget-
Though Fancy deem her blisses o'er,
Though Hope's bright star were set-

My parting tear shall dew the day,
My heartfelt sigh shall grateful say

Farewell Erin!

Our notice of this work last week broke off with the account of Lucien Buonaparte's first starting the idea of his brother divorcing the sterile Josephine-ten years before that measure was carried into effect. His scheme for a second wife, formed when he was ambassador in Spain, is thus detailed.

Lucien's election fell on Isabella, second daughter of the king, sixteen years of age, and now hereditary princess of the two Sicilies. Having communicated his design, and developed his plans to Napoleon, they were instantly approved of, and Lucien himself formally empowered to open his high negotiation. The good king, Charles V. was not long in ceding the rights of his family, and all consideration of personal dignity, to his blind admiration of that great man. He thought it was for the best interests of Spain, to renew the close alliance of the two countries, which existed in the time of Louis XIV. and his Grandson. The Queen, seduced or overcome, also yielded; and every thing was arranged, so that Napoleon, in preserving the title of Consul, should declare his power hereditary. Matters were in this state, when Madame Buonaparte, from ther by some indiscretion on the part of whom it had been entirely concealed, wheher husband, or the revelations of Fouché, discovered the whole affair. Her influence over Napoleon was well known; this she derived from her sedulous attentions and unvarying deference to his will. Her efforts were redoubled on the present occasion, when, in addition to tears and entreaties, she not only sent Hortensia to move the First Consul, but suggested a variety of political fears as likely to arise from the intended union, and finally carried the day. Instead therefore of the last signature, which was hourly expected at Madrid, the ambassador received a positive order to break off the negotiation altogether. Foaming with rage, Lucien had no sooner read the dispatch, than, collecting all the correspondence relative to this important affair, he flew to the palace, and shutting himself up with the King and Queen, submitted the

whole of his conduct to them. Their Catholic Majesties made no hesitation in distinguishing it from that of his brother, directing all their anger and indignation against Napoleon.

a distant country seat, there to cool the
ardour of his agitated feelings.

Lucien being replaced by Gouvion
St. Cyr, returned to Paris in the end
of 1801, and in the March ensuing
was made a member of the Tribunat.
Here his political labours were again
conspicuous, and the Corcordat, and
Legion of Honour, either originated
with him, or were indebted to his
talent for their completion. Of the
latter he was made Grand Officer,
and one of the seven members of
the Council of Administration, and in
this quality took his seat in the Conser-
vative Senate, which put an end to the
semblance of discussion and legislative
government in France.

also to induce Joseph to refuse the Viceroyalty of Italy, which was in consequence bestowed on Eugene Beauharnois, he was ordered to quit France, and went to Milan in April 1804. From Milan he journeyed to Rome, where he lived in great state, visiting only foreign princes and persons of the highest rank. Cardinal Fesch had previously tried to bring about a reconciliation, for which Madame Letitia the mother was very earnest, Lucien being her favourite child, but as he would not repudiate his wife at the command of Napoleon, the treaty fell to the ground.

When Joseph was raised to the throne of Naples, and Napoleon visited Italy in the height of his power and Lucien was now a widower, and glory after the treaty of Tilsit, an intervery rich his sister, Bacchiochi, pre-view was brought about at Mantua; but Lucien, still firm to his purpose, resisted all temptations to divorce his wife, and the end of an angry discussion was a proposal on the part of the Emperor, to provide suitably for his two nieces (the offspring of the first marriage)-the eldest being intended for the Prince of Asturias. The political catastrophe of Spain however prevented this match, and Ferdinand VII. was reserved for another destiny. It is stated, and appears from future circumstances likely to be true, that Lucien was hostile to the measures taken against the Pope, and the spoliation of the Roman territories. It was frequently expected that Tuscany, or Naples, or Sicily, would be converted into a kingdom for him; but others were preferred in every change, and the breach became wider between him and the despot, till at length, after a short residence at Florence, he retired with his family to Canico, 25 leagues from Rome and six from Viterbo.

In Spain, Lucien levied monstrous contributions for the private uses of himself and family. Portugal paid 30 millions of francs, which found its way chiefly into private chests. He also began to form his fine gallery of pictures; and the capital works of Ribeira, Morillos, and other Spanish masters, were collected with avidity. A prize taken into Malaga also enabled him to plunder the stores of the British Ambassador coming from Constantinople. He lived with outward republican simplicity, but his luxury and prodigality were boundless, and he lavished immense sums on his pleasures, as well as in cor-sided in his domestic establishment, and rupting the nobles of the country.

ANALYSIS OF THE JOURNAL DES SAVANS,
FOR MARCH, APRIL, AND MAY, 1818.

Many of the articles in these Numbers

being continued from one month to another, it appears to be the most convenient way to take them together.

1. 1. Annuaire presented to the King by the Board of Longitude of France, for the year 1818; and 2. Connoissance des Temps, &c. published by the Board of Longitude, for the year 1820. Enlightened persons, says M. Biot, who appreciate things by their real value, and not by the vague ideas of merit which vulgar opinion often ascribes to them, will not be surprised to see an almanack placed at the head of this article; because nothing is to be despised which is addressed to a great number of persons. If almanacks are of all books the most diffused, the most common, the greater care must be employed to compose them well. Among the positive results of our sciences and our civilisation, those must be chosen, the utility of which may become general, and inserted for circulation in these popular books. In the Annuaire, besides the usual component parts of an almanack, as the calendar, the eclipses, and phases of the moon, the other most remarkable celestial phenomena are given, calculated for Paris: it contains besides much useful information on many subjects of daily occurrence. In short, the Annuaire is the almanack of

Among the merely astronomical researches
are some highly interesting. Such, for
instance, are the Observations on the Planet
Uranus, made by Flamsteed in the year
1712, sixty-nine years before Herschell dis-
covered the proper motion of that planet,
and added it to our system. M. Burckhardt
has discovered those observations in Flam-
steed's collection, where they are noted as
belonging to a fixed star. Another obser-
vation of the same star had already been
found, which was made by Flamsteed twenty-
two years before; others had also been
found, made by Bradley, Le Monnier, and
Mayer. M. Burckhardt has also inserted in
this volume the calculation of several small
inequalities pointed out by theory, but
which has not yet been introduced into the
tables of Jupiter and Saturn. He has given
some remarks on divers peculiarities in the
appearance and motions of several stars;
and lastly, a comparison of the orbits of
various comets, which their resemblance
may cause to be taken for the same, seen
at different times. Many other orbits of
new comets have been calculated by M.
Nicolet, after observations made at Paris by
M. Bouvard, and at Marseilles by M. Pons.
The volume concludes, as usual, with a kind
of history of astronomy during the year.

66 Entretiens sur l'Art de

But whether actually penned by the supposed author, or written by some close and attentive observer of his conduct, and intended as a sly satire on his maxims both in theory and practice-the piece appeared to me sufficiently curious and interesting, to merit a translation into English. Accordingly, I published, many years since, an anonymous translation of it; not, however, as an independent, integral publication, but in successive monthly portions, as an article in a Magazine; from which circumstance, it may probably have escaped the notice of most of your readers.

However that may be, I have to observe, that, on comparing the extracts in your Journal, with the original piece in my possession, it appears to me quite evident that they are (with some interpolations) translated from another of the preserved copies, exactly the same as that from which I have translated. That they are from the same French, not from any German original or translation, may readily be discovered by the idiom in several instances, of which it is sufficient to notice this one. In page 297 of your publication, col. 2, we find the phrase "render himself obnoxious to PETTY MISERIES"-in the French, "s'attachoit à de PETITES MISERES"-which, however, there means, to regard, or attend to, pitiful MINUTIE❞—an interpretation warranted by

the Dictionary of the French Academy,
which says,
"MISERES se dit au pluriel,
pour signifier des bagatelles, des choses de
peu d'importance et de valeur."

ABOMINABLE CRITICISM.

To the Editor.

His Royal Highness then proceeded to deliver the prizes into the hands of the candidates, accompanying each with a short and suitable address. The following are most worthy of being particularized :—

I am a plain man, Mr. Editor, rather inclining in my political opinions to the popular side, and not easily disgusted within any excess, which, though not defensible, may yet be excusable, since the best of causes is not without blemishes. But I confess to you that every British feeling about my heart was roused to indignation by perusing the following comments upon the Exhibition at Somerset House, introduced among some common or partial trash on the same subject in the Number of the old Monthly Magazine just published.

"Sir Thomas Lawrence has eight pictures, and some of them are unquestionably the best in the collection; that of Lady Gower is a master-piece; that of the Convention breaker is deservedly admired as a painting-but it is deeply regretted, by every moralist, that so much talent should have been misemployed on so unworthy a subject."
