Aft' these works display a mind that is patient and exact , but little anxious to pu rsue the foea ten road , an d delighted to ^ coun te r difficulties . It is well kno wn tbat the Institute 6 f France had not a more active or laborious member than € arnot . Before he had withdrawn from
public affairs , it was in literary occupation that he sought repose from the cares and labour imposed on him by his functions . Besides the works we have named , he composed several pieces inserted in the collection of the Institute . But none of his writings excited so much attention as the Traitt de la Defence des
Places . To this day many of the military have not forgiven him for publishing it , and some of them have attacked it with a violence which they would not have shewn in merely opposing errors : the sciences themselves , and still more the arts , aver' sometimes infected with party-spirit .

DOMESTIC . Resolutions of the Protestant Dissenting Deputies relating to the Corporation and Test Acts . At a General Meeting of the Deputies for protecting the Civil Rights of Dissenters , held at the King ' s Head Tavern in the Poultry , on Friday , 19 th of March , 1824 ,

hisgenerous soul could not accept the gift of the stranger . Content with his little patrimony , he used no speculation for increasing it , and he terminated his career in honourable poverty . Revered by

Commons be requested to follow up the Petition by a motion on the subject . That the Committee apply to such members of both Houses as are considered favourable , requesting their
assistance , informing them of the decided intention of the body of Dissenters , seriously to make and renew applications to the Legislature on the subject , and communicating to such members proper explanatory statements of the case .
That the Committee immediately solicit the co-operation of deputations from the body of ministers in London , and the other societies in London formed for , or interested in the promotion of civil and religious liberty , in order to establish union and obtain an accession of talent and energy in the common cause .
That printed statements of the case of Dissenters , and of the reasons on which they ground their claims upon the Legislature , be with such co-operation prepared and circulated . That the Committee take such other measures for interesting and informing the public mind by temperate discussion ,
