consigned his memory to tie execration of posterity i ^ aiso , containing the Authors reflections ¦ an die principal events and leading men of the French Rerolution ; with sundry admonitory bints ^ allusions , applicable to afl times , all nations , and all classes of Reformers , political , moral ,. aoda ^ &c By Jakes Brokteuke O'Bjrie ^ A . B . London : J . Watson , 15 , City Road , Finsbury Square . Xeeds : J . HobVon , Northern Star Office , and all Booksellers .
The first part of this laag and anxiously expected ¦ work has at length appeared . In introducing it to the notice of our readers , it is unnecessary for us to « aj more than that it is from the pen of Bhon-XEKRE , especially as the present part consists chiefly of extracts . from the French -writers on the character of the iamoBs individual whose memory our talented friend has undertaken to rescue from the load of obloquy under which it has so long lain . YTe give Ms own reasons for undertaking the work . v undertaking to write the ' Life and Character of MaximSEan Robespierre , " I have been actuated by a ranetv of morives . -of which the principal are as
follows—* First , I have been actuated by a-desire to do justice to tbe dead , wiichj next to deinjr justice to the Brine , I &e * m the most sacred of ditties . " Secondly , By a desir e to redeem the glorious cause of democracy from the obloquy and bad odour it has incurred , in consequence of the sangninarr e xcesseg and guilty purposes falsely imputed hy *> history" to the leading democrats -of the French Revolution . " Thirdly , By a desire to create a new public opinion , which , may protect my own reputation , aad that of mv brother-democrats , ( embarked with ine
in the sanMt > ca » ise . ) against that horrible system of calomnv and proscription by which the aristocratic enemies of mankind haw hitherto destroyed the Ives , and blasted the memories © i the great and good of all ages , and which , to a certainty , vriH be tried against " the real reformers of this country . ( when matters come to a crisis ^ nnJess we are befcreband with the aristocrats , by making their own characters so well known to the country * that they ¦ will- obtain no credit wben they assail ours . This poBcv I deem particularly requisite , as a protection , against the rich middle-class who have the bulk of- the press in their hands , and who are -our deadliest foes .
~ Fonrthlv , Bt a desire "to aid the friends of political and social " regeneration in this country—by developing the causes which prevented the like consrnnmation from . bein 2 attained by the revolution in France ( as projected " by Robespierre and Ms sdherenL <); and to warn both the British people and their leaders of tie secret obstacles tbev will have to surmount , if theT would escape the fate of all bygone reformers , in their efforts to achieve a peace able salutary , and durable reformation . " Fifthly and lastly , By a desire to shake the credit of " history ' aid the authority of great jutmes
—instruments hitherto used with such fatal effect by the ar istocracT in support of their liberticidal systems , bnt which will be turned against them , the moment the milKoas begin to think for themselves In this motive I may include the additional one , of wishing to prepare the public mind for the reception of some important works , I am at present engaged on , ( in furtherance of the objects described in the three preceding paragraphs , ) and which I should hare completed long ago , had it not been for the pecuniary disabilities to " which my politics ha ^ e hitherto condemned me—disabilities which , I grieve
to say , are likely to shackle me for some tune to come . " Such are the motives which induced me to write * The Life aad Character of Robespierre . " ' TTith respect to the first , —my desire to ^ o justice to die dead , —if ever the memory of man needed justice it is the memory of Robespierre ; forgone has ever suffered bo mnci . injustice at the hands of history . It may , with safety , be affirmed , that there never existed apnblic character whose reputation has been so foully calumniated—^ 0 remorselessly immolated topobhe and private vengeance , or whose motives and conduct nave been misrepresented with more inveterate ranconr . and shameless disregard of truth .
If most of his biographers are to be believed , Robespierre was a compouHd of nearly all the worst vices of hnman nature , without any of its redeeming qua-r lities , and the bitdlecUml and jriysk&l man bore the xact impress of his moral deformity . He was a inonater aj morals , a pigrny in intellect , a scarecrow in physical appearance . He tmited in himself the characteristics of the ogre , the gnome , aad the cattifer . " ^ * ¦ ¦ " My object being to do him justice , but no more than jnstice , 1 have freely , and , I Itope , without prejudice , canvassed every act and discourse , giving Mm praise where praise le deserved , and censur e * iereever I thousht Tmn in error .
_ Whether , and to what extent , I have succeeded mimdicatisglus memorj from the reproaches cart 'qwnit , —is fojTTou , my fnendsj to dmde . I say for fottjbecauseitis to too , not to what is called ** tbe pnolic" I appeal . ThepuUkisz . phrase , which , in Eog&nd , seldom means more than the rich 0 admential fraction of flie people , who Eve on the * snrinFs of the rest . To this fraction , my book is oo * addressed , I have no idea of argning with !? fiB Those arguments are bayonets and prosecTi-Jioas , and whom notbdng short of p hysical force will erer convinceof any thing whichitis not their interest to beHeve . Before I could convince the upper and anadle chsssB of England that Robespierre was a
jpstand beneficent character , I must cave first conwiced them that fheyonght not to rob the bulk of * arfeBow-subjecta _ of all that makes life dear to * Den . "Under the existing system of government , «* ese classes possess an unlimited power of murder * nd robbery over the non-represented classes . It is Qot in the power of "pen . or tongue to describe the windless injustice we experience at their hands . Ibey nave robbed Tia of our civil and social rights—« ey have robbed us of aB the dignity and respect ios from man to bis fellow-man—they have robbed i » of aH the benefits of art and science , they have robbed us of all the blesangg of civiHzation—they have » bbed us of all the meanzS of acquiring- station !
independence , and property—they Save made philoso P&t a curse , and religion a force to us—they have Peered virtue impracticable , aiid salvation Impossiofe for us except tirongh . blood and vengeance—they uavemvolred nine-tenths of tae population in a aever-endingscramble for the means of subastence , * hich ought to be as certain as the rising of to-inortsv s sun , —&ej tare placed vs in ttiat horrible ga ^ i which leaves us no other title to life , than vie wfll or caprice of infernal profit-hunters , who , to sarre or destroy us , need , only to say , " we don ' t Tfantyonrlabonr ! " In » just state of society , all wat ; would be required of anv citizen to sive him

who lave l > een murdered and calumniated , inuie 8 ain « % ay . inall past ages . If I succeed in nsdicating Robespierre , I vindicate the tnostobnoxioas and execrated of them alL and I pore him to be tne . most obnoxious and execrated , only because ne was the most enlichtened , incorrnptible and effective of them all . If I prove him to have been the opposite of what history has represented hixa , I , atone and the same time , destroy the credit of history , _ and raiseup aprotection for all men of similar principles who dread posthumous calumny even more than they dread death . If I prove tbat aD the cranes imputed to Robespierre and his principles , were , in reality , committed by his assassins , or caosedby parties who either held ne principles at all ,
orpnnciples the reverse of his , Iperform a signal service to mveountrv , inasmuchas I release radicalism troin a load of obloquy which falsehood had fastened on it , and destroy , by anticipation , the creditof similar calumnies which may be levied against tlwwouldbe-Robespierres of my own country . There is many a reformer who would brave every | Aysical tnbulatiori—even death itself—to make nirf cause triumphant ; bnt there are few that would brave the thouehtof being execrated by posterity in return for the sacrifices they had made . The villains who have calumniated Refcespierre were well aware of this fact ; and it is one of the reasons why , in addition to assassiaating him , they kave been at such , incredible Bains to blacken his memory . They wished
in fact to deter , by Ms example , all other generous spirits embarked or embarkffig inths same cause . All tie histories that have appeared , up to ibis time , and nearly * ll the biographies relating to tbe French revolution , have been written in the interests of the upper and middle classes . Not one honest Radioal history h&s yet appeared , if we except the Uistoire Purkmertaire de la Revolution Franqaise ., which , is rather a compilation of materials for history than a hLtory itself , and which ds not yet completed , the last volume ( 36 ) not coming down farther-than the year 1794 . But of this anon . Suffice it to state hewthat all the histories hitherto published are , in
, a greater or lesser degree , unfavourable to Robespierre , because all ofihem aw the productions of men interestedly hostile to the principles for which be lived a&d died . Whether , and to what -extent 1 have succeeded in doing him the jnstice which interested clamour has hitherto denied him , it is for you , roy Radical friends , to decide . If I have succeeded , I am sure voa will participate in the pleasure it wiQ afford me . " if I have not , I shall regret the circumstance more for your sake than for my own , for 3-shall still cherish the conviction that the failure rests with the biographer , and not the subject . ' "

Love of Books . —I do not mean to . * peak disrespectfully of tbe stage ; but I think higher still of nature , and next to that , of books . They are the nearest to our thoughts ; they . wind into the heart ; the poet ' s verse slides into the current of our blood . "We read them young , we remember them when old . "VYe read there of what has happened to others ; we feel that it has happened to ourselves . They are to be had everywhere good and cheap . VTe breathe but the stir of bo ' oks : we owe everything to their authors on thissidebarbarism ; and we pay thein ^ asily with contempt , while living , and with an epitaph when dead . Michael Aauelo is beyond tbe Alps ; Mrs .
Siddcns has left tke stage , and us to mourn her loss . . " Were it not so , there , are . neither picture-galleries nor theatre-royal on Salisbury plain , where I write this ; but here , even here , with a few old authors , I can manage to get through the summer or winter months without ever knowing what it is to feel ennvL They sit . with meat breakfast ; they walk out with me before dinner . After a long walk through unfrequented tracts , after starting the hare from the fern , or hearing the wing of the raven rustling above my head , or being greeted by the woodman ' s stern " good night , * ' as he strikes into his narrow homeward path , I can " take mine ease afmine inn" beside the blazing hearth , and shake hands with Signor Orlando Friscobaldo , as the oldest acquaintance I have . Ben Jonson , learned
Chapman * Ja * ter Hejrrood , and Master "Webster are there ; and , seated round , discourse ths silent hour away . " Shakspeare is there . himself , but not in Gibber ' s managers coat . Spenser is hardly yet returned from a ramble through the woods , or is concealed "by a group of nymphs , fawns , and satyrs , ^ lilton lies on the table , as on an altar , never taken up or laid down without reverence . ILjly ' s Eudymion sleeps with the moon that shines in at the window . -Faust disputes in one corner of the room with fiendish faces , and reasons of divine astrology . I should have no objection to pass my life in this manner out of the world , not thinkiEg of it , not it of me ; neither abused by my enemies , nor defended by ray- friends ; careless of the future , but sometimes dreaming of the past , which might as well be forgotten . —Hazlitt .
Health Cosxected with Dress . — The considerations which shew the necessity for personal cleanliness , prove the importance of cleanliness in dress . For as portions of the dress are in constant-contact with the skin , they take up the perspiration and retain many of its impurities , which , as I have before stated , are liable to be absorbed into the system . The linen ought , therefore , to be frequently changed , particularly in early life , wien cutaneous diseases are common . All the parts of the dress ought to be loose , and of a porous texture , both to give free play to the vascular circulation , and to permit the free exit of the
perspiration , and to absorb it readily . How far at variance with these rules is . the dress in this country , of females in particular , it is needless for me to say . One would think that it had been adopted for the express purpose of hindering the development of the body , and of retarding its functions . Another important quality of clothing is warmth ; in treating which the subject of temperature generally will be - discussed .- It is a prevalent error to suppose that the coastitntion of children are fortified by early exposure to cold ; whence arises the inexpressibly absurd practice of bathing infants in cold water , even \ n the mifist of winter . The circulation of
infants is almost wholly cutaneous ; and any severe impression of cold upon their highly sensitive and vascular , skin destroys the natural distribution of the blood , producing bowel complaints , inflammations , and convulsions . —Curtis on Health . The Aet of Conversation . —The art of quiet , easy , entertaining conversation is , 1 think , chiefly known in England . In Scotland- "we are pedantic , and wrangle , or we run away with the harrows on some topic we chance to be discursive upon . In Ireland they have too much vivacity , and are too desirous to make a show , to preserve ¦ the golden mean . They sre the Gascons of Briton . George Ellis was the first converser I ever knew :
his patience and good breeding made me often ashamed of myself going off at score upon some favourite topic . Richard Sharp is so celebrated for this peculiar gift as to be generally called . Conversation Sharp . The worst of his talent is , that it seems to lack sincerity . You never inow what are the real sentiments of a good converser , or at least it is very difficult to discover in what exte . nt he entertains them . His politeness is inconsistent with energy . For forming a good converser , good taste and extensive information and accomplishment ^ re the principal requisites , to which must be atkFed ' , an easy and . elegant delivery and a well-tonea * Voice . I think the higher order of genius is not favourable to this talent—Sir Walter Scotft Diarv .
^ Oxx » I ' RIEN'DS . —The sudden appearance of one who , though destitute ofany other recommendation , has . been our companion in the sweet summer-tide of our brightest days , who has trodden Jttteround that is dear to us , and looked upon tK ^ KpBtenanee of those "we love , can no longer be anS&igpoVof indifference , when the blessed reality has passed ' away , and cold and receding recollection becomes its . scanty substitute . Together we . can refresh . the fading
colours of the . past , and by reviving the outline , recal , in gome measure , to out minds the original beauty of the picture , even though its primitive grace and brflliancy be lost for ever . Even the pound of the voice , under such circumstances , often becomes interesting from the associations connected with it i from the recollection of some other , some well-loved voice , trhich we have heard mingling its tones with the one that now sound ? in our ear . —From the Stale Prisori , by Mary Louisa Boy ? e * .. .

-A £ M | ket .. ano a Tiger Fight . —A . fin . et . dqn-Vey , selected for ttie purpose , had been made exceedingly drunk , and : when perfectly pot-valiant , was turned into tfce metosure , t&e tiger at the same time being forced bat i > f his cage . Upon seeing the donkey , the tiger , irritated by the means used to dislodge him , prepared for the deadly spring ; and Neddy , trio , upon any other occasion , ^ rould have run for his life , rendered by his previous potation * perfectly unconscious of the power of his fee , instead of making a retreat , toddled up to his antagonist in the most ridiculous manner possible , wagging his nead about , throwing-out his heels , and braying . The tiger , amazed , bewildered , and perfectly cohnumerigated
as an officer of the- Gauge * steamer -expresses it , gave tme ^ glance of * a « tonishinent at thi 3 strange assailant , and dropping his tail , turned and ran swiftly away . The donkey , ready primed for every achievement , and . perfectly reckless of danger , followed , still braying and nodding his head from , side to side . "We have heard of donkeys kicking the dead lion , but I never expected to see one of the tribe actually kick alivingtiger ; yet so it was . On the next rencontre , Neddy , running round , and flinging out in the queerest style imaginable , gave the tiger one or two smart strokes with his hoofs , which villainous assault elicited nothing but an alarmed surprise on the part of the royal heast . Retreating
again , it was again followed by- , the ' pertinacious donkey , and hemmed xip in a corner ; the tiger , de ^ r perate , but perfectly unaware > of the despicable nature of his foe , rushed forward and tumbled the braying pursuer on the ground . He did not , however , according to his usual wont , pause to vrorry him , but went straight off . The donkey , getting v . p again , shaking himself , and ' apparently enjoying the fun , was easily induced to go after the tiger , and the same scene was re-enacted ; the tiger , when hard pressed , contenting himself with knocking the donkey over , if no other meaus of getting rid of . the
annoyance presented it *^ 3 f , but still abstaining from the cruel sport of tearing and mangling the fallen antagonist . At length , the donkey had enough of it ; stunned and stupified by his falls , he was unable to contiuue the uncouth capers which it was quite impossible not to be diverted by ; in fact , no words can convey an idea of the excessive absurdity of the scene : tbe stupid , blundering , awkward , } -et conceited gestures of the long-eared assailant ^ ' and the scared , bewildered aspect of the assailed , were altogether so irresistibly comical , th ; it there were times in which I was nearly suffocated by laughter . —Asiatic Journal .
Mr . Justice Park and the Dogs . —Some years ago , while a Yorkshire butcher was undergoing an examination as witness in a case in the Court of Common Pleas , an ^ indefinable sound was heard in the immediate vicinity of the witness-box . " Silence in the court there ! " cried Mr . Justice Park , in his usual . sharp and irritable manner . — " Just repeat that answer to my question , " said he , addressing himself to the witness . " The noise which that person made prevented my hear ing it distinctly . "" I said , my lord , I was not— : —"—Here the same indefinable souad ira ? again heard . — "If that person again interrupts the court , I will order him to be takes into custody at once . The court must be
respected ; there must be no more of these unmannerly nsises . Officer , you preserve , at . your peril , order in the court . "— Yes my lord , " said the officer , bustling forward , and looking eagerly about him , as if determined to detect the part 3 " the next time the noise was repeated . A dead silence prevailed for some seconds after this sharp rebuke was administered to the disorderly party . "The last question I put to you , witness , was , whether you saw the defendant the night before die transaction was said to have taken pl-ace . "— "I am not able , my lord , to -say positively ' . /'—Here the witness was again interrupted by ; i loud growl from a large mastiff belonging to himself , whjch flashed
conviction on the minis of all present that the author of the two former outrages on the dignity-of the covri belonged to the canine , not the huinau species . — " ^ Y hose ^ oy is that ? " said Mr . Justice Park , his eyes flushing indignation as he spoke . — "He is mine , my lord , " . said the witness . —j * 'Then , ' sir , you ought to have more respect for tbe court than to bring him here with you . "— " He followed me againut my will , my lord . "—" Then you must eitht-r put him out , or see that be be quiet . "— " I'll take care , my lord , tha \ he makes no more noise . "— " Tu > er , " vou be quiet , sir—you lie 1
down , sir . "—The examination was resumed . When Mr . Justice Park came to the sixth or seventh question , Tigef " set up another tremendous under-growl , which threw the whole court into convulsions of laughter , and which worked up the irritable faculties of his lordship to the highest possible pitch . Here it may be proper to observe , that the cause of tbe different growls which T % er emitted was a small terrier belonging to some oae in the court , with which Tizrer seemed , for * oine reason or other best known to himself , to be on vcry bad terms . — "Officer /' vociferated Mr . Justice Park , " officer , do ' - your dutv and take that doa : out of court . "—Whether it
wtis that the officer mistot s the four-f ooted author of tbe disturbance , or that tbe surly aspect of Tiger frightened him from touching him , 1 cannot say . ; but the fact was , that he v . p . s proceediug to take the little harmless terrier out of court , and had no intention of disturbing Tiger , when Air . Justice Park observed , ¦ ' . ' . JCot that dog , officer , but the other . That dog has behaved himself very properly indeed ; nothing could be more ger . tleinanly than his conduct . Leave him alone . '—The officer , seeing there was no alternative , was proceeding to the place where Tiger wa « , in order to expel him , when , in
the confusion of the momenr , tie trod on one of the legs of the little , terrier . The latter instantly set up a yowl that lasted nearly half a minute , and " was so loud and harsh in its tones , that it made the . ears of all " present tingle . u Take loth the dogs away , " shouted Mr . Justice Park , as soon as the yelping of the little terrier , which had before conducted himself with so much propriety and in so " gentlemanly" a manner , would admit of his being heard . Tne court was cleared of the dogs , and , Mr . Justice Park ' s irritation having in some rnea . fare subsided , the trial was proceeded with . —The Bench and the Bar .
LoNGEvmr/—There is now living in Hainpshirehog-y . ird , Broad-street , Bloomsbur }' , a man named Thomas Coleman , aged 102 years and five months , having been born at Devises , in June , lToo ^ being three years prior to the birth of George III . He ia in full possession of all his faculties , more particularly a most retentive memory . The venerable man in his earlier yeare was a soldier , and served in America at the time the colonies revolted . The veteran has no other dependence than what he obtains by vending a few articles in the streets .
A Singular Fact . —The other day , a party of gentlemen called at Stainbro' Inn , previous to their going to look over Wentworth Castle . It was remarked by one of them at the time they were viewing the pictures in the gallery , that he thought it was the first time that ever ' a group of birds was known to have a taste for the line arts . What do you mean , said an old gentleman who had just put hig spectacles on to look at a scent jar , ' Why , Sir , there are four of our party , and our separate names are , Hawk , Sparrow , Rook , and Swallow-. "
Droll Story of a Fox . —Some years ago , a young fox was kept at the Talbot Inn , Shrewsbury , and employed in a wheel to turn the jack ; but after awhile reynard gave his keepers the slip , and regained bis native fields . This very fox was afterwards pursued by the hounds , bnt running into the town , he sprung over a half door which opened into a kitchen , jumped into bis .-wheelj resumed his former occupation , and saved his life . This , though very amazing , is absolutely true . —Hereford Thries ^ -: ? . Philosophic Temper . —What most of all c 6 ntribntes to give us that calmness of temper wHch
is so necessary in disputesy-ii the confidence that knowledge inspires , For ' a inind that comes well prodded to engage in thfi . defence of truth , will calmly and without concern stand the shock of falsa opinions , having premeditsted all that can be alleged against truth , by instrncting himself in the truth itself . What then can disturb aman so well instructed ? What can seem to him inextricable , what unanswerable ? All the difficulties that can be objected against him , will , if he be truly strong , serve on the contrary only to supply him with ideas that have already olten . triumphed over whatever is false . - "¦! ¦ ¦¦ ¦ ¦¦ . - " : - ¦ ¦ ' - -

LONDON CORN EXCHANGE . Mark-Lane , Monda y , March 26 . Puring the past week we had very s ( jualiyweati » er , vrlth cold shovvers occiisibnall ^ of hail , rain , and show , froatyMghts mostly jprevailing . ; field wqrJf , however , has been little '" iater-. ' rupttd , and spring tillage is going on still fayouratily . : TUere via * only a moderate quantity of > Vheat , ' Barley , Beans , * atid Peais for this day ' s maikct irom Essex , Kent , andKnfiblk , arid the fresh supply of pats consisted of a few cargoes ; from Ireland and pur own coast in since Friday . There was a steady dejiiand lor the liner deacriptionii of Wheht at the rates of this day su ' nnight , but the niidaling qualities were bought slowly by the millers , although . not ; lower , Whilst inferior lota were ^ taken off freely by the starch-niakere at rather , more money . Plour was without altt-ration in value , good niarks ex . ship meeting a fair demand . - ' F ™? Malting Barley was fully as deaT , in reqUBst , and no variation in the value of . distillers' or grinding qualities . Malt was much the saine in price , with a moderate demand for choice samples . Beans and Peas supported the currency of last , week ,, each article of good quality ; commanding a steady deninnd . Oats-continue tobeheld with Iirmne 83 , and many of thfi vesseU having brought part of the large Irish supply , our dealers were anxious to tak « advantage of this circumstance , and showed some disposition to com ^ mence pnrchasing , but from the advanced prices ,, not ; only in Ireland , but on pur QWh coast aiid in ScoUand , for this article , the liictors aeemed nidre disposed to land than to submit to any decline , particularly as many cargoe ^ bave been taken , off the market by speculators during , the pait week , and the sales were thus not extensive , but all \ 8 oits-commanded . fully as much money , and the ( rude has a healthy appearance generally . Linseed and Rapeseed were held for more money , and but little of each article in thb jnarket .: Bonded Wheat ^ vas innuired for , but leave having / been granted / tobring forward a bill to grind this , article-in mills under the Queen ' s : lock , holders would notparf withit unless onhigher terms . Amongst the exports of the past week there have been 300 quarters of Foreign Barley , and } , 00 D qrs . Data entered for Sweden , where grain is very scarce and . denr . Red Clovcrseed was fully as high , and the finer qualities were in fivir demand ,. = : CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE . WHEAT . s . s . Malt , Norfolk Pale .. 52 V .
