Mellernich hud already fixed Ins views on him. The first of our speakers was o man forty yo»r* of ogo, wfiuso effeminate exterior was nm wanting in grace, A largo forehead, a well formed >nusc, large blue eyes and an ngreulile mouth, mi which n smile always played at his pleusurc, composed the contour of hit countenance. Without recourse to the ordinary* expedients, he was always easy, and amiable in bis manners. Master of himrcll under all circumstances, ho knew bow to par ticipate in the dissipation und folly uf the great, but always with the good sense to profit by his indulgence. The second, although inure tliau fifty years old, seemed to possess all the bloom ana vigour of youth. His fore bead, already bald, was high and open; its punitive and well defined outlines betrayed habit* of probated meditation snd reflection. The latter was tin celebrated Doctor Gall, Ihe illusiriuus physiologist, the former, the ’ Pi luce Melternicb, prime minister of the Era- .peror of Austria. According to custom, tbo Prince had with drawn himself from the.midst of jhe feto to tip solitude of hie study, lo give himself up fur a few moments to bis mental avocations.

Immediately after his marriage, (tic conn, retired In a distant estate, wishing os he said, lo enjoy without restraint, that happiness which he Imd found in conjugal life. The ilirce first years uf then inurriuge were ti ppy ; some children in. reusid thu charm of their new existence, if ul the Count lived in complete solitude, visiting neither pnrents nor triends, nor yet receiving any visits in Ihe in terior of his chateau. Ills wife without having particular caiiso of complaint, found him cold, reserved and austere, mid frequently a sombre cloud appeared lo obscure his visage. Al though he had never spoken a harsh word to one of hip vassals nor struck one uf them, they nevertheless kept nt a distance and even trem bled at his approach, lie bad but one enjoy ment and (but was tho chase. To this pica, sure lie gave bimsolf up at all seasons of Ihe year with an ardor equally mdofatiguble. Or dinarily he hunted wild beasts, and as alien as possible engaged in that kind of cliuso which presented most peril, He was not sa tisfied ie see ihe animal killed by n blow, but prulorcd seeing hun brought to buy nnd crip pled, nnd then ho would delight himself by calculating thu duration of his agony. It was only when the combnt was prolonged and the cries of the animals loud and piercing, llmt a singulni laugh would unwrinkle his visago nnd dtsposo him to kindly feelings towards those who accompanied him. If the day’s hunt had not furnished him with a spectacle of this kind, he w ould cause a combat to take place amongst his dogs, which he uever permitted to be interrupted until one of them succumbed. If if so hupponed that any one of them aiictnp led to fit from the arena, he killed him without ceremony on the spot. Those caprices other wise, did not uppenr more sirungo Ilian Ihe habits of many other Hugurmn noblemen, liv ing on their estates nnd keeping themselves always at a distunco Irom court. The Count was bc.-idcs generous, and magnificently like, rnl in bis disposition, towards all who ap- prourhed him. A limit this lime, lie had attached to him n nurgaoii, Localise he wished for Ihe future that no one who was a stranger lo the chateau, should penetrate within ils walls. This man was liberally rewarded and had no other care Ihnn to intend to the health of the inhabitants of the manor; but be had been commanded by the' Count to have tlio least possible communi cation with the people ol the manor in general, and to observe the most absolute diserolinrtin regard io every fact, lioweyer dark it might appear, which occurred in the interior. One evening fixe Count returned to tho chn- ivtw after aiviinforlunutc hunt. Ho woie a countenance nu.ro sombre IlntO ordinary, and was moreover very petulant. Withoul'cban- ging bis dress or taking refreshment according to custom, be went directly to hie wife's chamber. Ho foutid her in Ihe midst of her little children, who formed Imr only comfort, her only consolation. To riso nnd embrace her husband wus Iter first movement. The Count slowly repulsed her end without casting a look towards his children, ordered that they should immediately quit the room. When left ulone with his young • Well,*’ said he, *• have ynu exam ined Ihe Count minutely ? Are you nnt now has passed or of what shall henceforth pass betwixt us, I shall take measures to assuro myself of your lasting silence. —- The Count roniinued his habitual life. Every day after his return from the chase, he would go toTho chamber of the Countess nnd examine curiously, (ho wound he had made without speaking a word. As this wound healed, he one night, after passing the poign- urd over every part of her body, (no doubt to excite her agony) struck her anew, a blow most skillfully applied, ordering her neverthe less, still to ubstain from coinplaiul. When the new wound was opened, lie regarded the flowing of the blood fur somo minutes with much complacency. He then bound it up as formerly without any marked emotion. This second wound being cicatrized, he mado anew one from week to week.andalways with Ihe same calm and inexplicable cruelly No one in the chateau suspected the cause of the progressive nnd alarming weakness of the Countess, who was continually confined to the chamber, Meanwhile nothing calmed Ihe sanguinary monomania ol Pehf. The beauli- ful body of the charming Countess formed little else than a horrible wound, furrowed as it was in every part by ihe poignnrd. Although those wounds were superficial, (for they were ■nude with a most satunic refinement of cruel ty) so that mine of ilium could cause death yet they were so numerous, llmt they occasioned u violent fever 'Which menaced her life, and ihreatem-d to deprivo tho executioner of his horribla amusehunt. lie reflected nnd deci ded to call in his surgeon atier having threa tened his wife anew, if sho ever revealed his infernal secret, and. also, nt the same lime, cautioning his surgeon not to attempt to fath om the cause of tier malady. This surgeon like all others attached to the chateau, thought that the Countess was dying of a gradual de cline, brought on by her lonely, sad and mel ancholy life; accomplished practitioner ns he wus, he could not however be slow, in disco vering that her situation was due to some ex traordinary eauso; a man of guod feelings and clear intellect, an admirer of the virtuous resignation .of the unfortunate lady, he know how to wrost from her the horrible secret. Without quitting the chateau, lie contrived to inform the proper authorities of what had passed. Ono evening when tho Count return cd from the chase he found the court of the chateau filled with a corps of cavalry. Ileing arrested and carried to Uudo, lie was tried, condemned and executed.

If we mistake not, this is by no menif tho first am of the kind that tier at Air. Paulding’s door, he has more than once ecr. vedthe noble causo of his country ■—by caricaturing and ridiculing its nations! character. Mr. Paulding’s complaints against the British press-its abuse of Ameri can literature and Americau character, have been loud and long—his mawkish sensibility has more than once vented ils indignation, through the public press,on this extremely sensitise snhjcct; yet we find him famishing constantly new fond for its voracious appetite-adminis tering, almost periodically, the vory aliment on which it delights to feed. Ho hesitate not to give it as our deliberate opinion, 'hat we are more indebted to such writers as Mr. Paulding and Judge Breckenjidgc.for the Inw estimate of oar ni'innal character in Europe, than every other consideration beside. In presenting to the world such characters as Nimrod Wildfiro and Teague O’Regan—boors in manners, fools in understanding, and knsves in principle—yet seeking and obtaining high distinctions in society, snd elevated posts under government, they have fixed in the minds of our trans atlantic brethren the very contempt for our national character and institutions which they seemingly depre cate an much. Mr. Paulding certainly possesses very considerable powers as a writer, and his pen is well calculated, to *’ Lssh the vices of a guilty age”— Yet, lie sbould confine its indulgenco within proper and legitimate bounds. Had bis fVildfiro been confined within thoso bounds, and not allowed to figure where he had no business, or assume pretentions in society out of liia sphere, ho might have proved a successful and popular character. As a Mississippi boatman or a wild hunter of iho West, ho would have been a wel come visiter to the house and heart of every American. But as a “Kentucky gentleman” and n “member of Congreea,” he can neither find shelter in the one nor sympathy in the other. Air.
