LETTER FROM SCOTLAND. From tlie Huston Dully Adv. July 19. Extract) from a letter from JlTrt. .Innr Grant, to a friend in thii vicinity, dateu Edinburgh, January 2. • • • * | “Your country is like Virgil’s fame, enlarging while we look at, it till w e are overwhelmed by its magni- ■ tilde. While we, hound in oir wa tery girdle and sinking under the debts in which our valor and genero sity have involved us, have no other resource from which to support our consequence hot our intellectual wealth- the l< gaetes left us by the glorious bards and sages of the olden time, and (he new crop of poetic lau rels that ate springing daily up with unequalled vigor and freshness. 01 these wc have been perhaps too vain, and too ready to wonder that the belles-lettres has not been suddenly and successfully cultivated among the stumps and Indi an corn fields ol recent settlements, or amidst all the effervescence of politics and legisla tion in a new born empire. Tois ground of superiority seems fast re ceding, and wc are now by abundant candor atoning for our past arro gai.ee. Could yon believe that it is now the universal fashion to admire American genius, and with the ex ception of Scott’s incomparable no vels, there is nothii g so much read, praised and admired as the Sketch Hook and Knickerbocker, which all reading people here have now disco vered to be a treasure of wit, humor and found reasoning, and keen, yet good humored satire. The style too n» allowed to be all faultless excel lence ; totally free of the Gallicisms and meretricious ornaments which occurred tut* frequently in former transatlantic production*. Thcpuri ryof its anglicism far exceeds what is frequent among ourselves. This, with the impression left by some el egant minded Americans who have visited us within the last few ve rs, h >ve brought about a wonderful re vo lution in public opinion in favor of our grand-children of the new con tinent. Mr. Mackenzie (Henry) who is still the most lively person 1 meet with, and by far the most elo quent and pleasant, sat with me a good while the other day, as indeed he often does- Me talked of Ameri ca ns a most magnificent and won derful country, and expressed his ad miration of the late works.” • • • • « Now I suppose you have some curiosity to know what we all think of the hubbub occasioned in this country by our most atrocious queen, or rather that for which she has been moJa the pretext by those who do not love ami cannot esteem her.—- Hut in order to make you see thro’ our medium, I must go back and be gin as you scholars would say Ah Ovo, with the French revolution.— Instead of the volume of reflections which this endless theme will s g gesf to you, 1 will briefly mention the effect it had on many of the low er classes in England. It Intoxica ted them with ideas of that plenty which a general community of good was falsely supposed to produce, and with that unbounded 'liberty which not only frees u» from the restraint of laws’ and earthly domination, but from the awe of Almighty power, and the dread of an awful futurity. This seed, though widely sown, was check er! in its growth bv the moral and re ligious sense of the community, and yet in some degree unconsciously encouraged by those apostles of dis content, who through the medium of the Edinburgh Review and other po pular- woidw, constantly found fault with every-measure of government. There was a junto of very wealthy and powerful old families, who since the accession of the present family arrogated to themselves and their followers the whole power of the state; and have to this day persecu ted with unrelenting vengeance what they call n(Uf men, whose merit or abilities raised them to power. They shrunk for a while before the tranu cendant genius ami lofty spirit of Chatham, and in the last r ign were forced, though with infinite reluc tance and malevolence, to yield to the ascendancy of his no less high talented and high minded son. t'till they had & strong hold in the heir ol the empire. By an alliance with wit and the engaging qualifies that gild the gayer vices in the persons of Sheridan, Fox and others of tire same class, they kept possession and strew ed to many flowers in the path of dissipation as were quite enough to m ke the narrow, upright path ap pear dull and rugged. The result was, that the prince was soon plun ged as deep in debt as his gay com panions. Oh an agreem nt that these debts should be paid, and from a de sire to satisfy hia parents and the na tion, he made this fatal marriage, which has been so fruitful of shame and sorrow. After living for ten years in matrimonial habits, auppor ted by great constancy and decr.- niatf with ft Ifdy particularly clc * \ ♦ ♦ g*nl *n her ftrli.d find wanner*, nr.d every way accomplished, the une qtfiilled coils«-iics* of manners ami grossness of habits which has always made this bold and restless woman a nuisance in well ordered society, must have shocked the prince not n litilo. Though I would by no means excuse his parting with her, .she would h».ve been a perpetual blister, hut (hat blister it was his hard duly to bear. '1 he rest of her history is too well known. To Italy she went am* gave such public scandal, (hat in a vc v short time she was despised-and shunned by ail respectable ladies, even there, where rigor seems 110 part of the national character— Meanwhile Briram had achieved a mighty conquest, bui was like an ex hausted giant, lying panting in the utmost languor and exhaustion after the great effort. Trade, wh ch had been profitable ami ell our own, du ring the war, flowed, as it must and ought into different channels,, Jhe load of taxes placed the country in the situation of one who has been bled'to delirium, and meanwhile a mighty mass of mischief Had been secretly fermenting at home. 'lhe present King amidst all thefiuits into which a dangerous association had led him, obtained much good feeling and a principle of deep ion 1 oration for his excellent father; when ! a lamented occurrence placed the whole power in his hands. Hefe.lt ’ that in case of his father’s recovery • it must grieve him to see his faithful counsellors give place to rapacious, because needy spendthrifts, who ’ could not possibly conduct the pub lic affairs werse than they had done : their own, and were not likely to con -1 duct them better. Assuming the grave dignity of sovereign he might not wish to adopt as nis counsellors, the companions of his midnight re vels. The Prince too, being well read in history, could not be igeo ra.t that in the only two instances (those of Richard 2d and Charles Ist) iu which British monarrhs se lected their ministers front among the companions of their youthful pleasures, their deposition and death was the ultimate consequence. It certainly required not a little forti tude to resist their claims, and some self denial to forsake the gay, the witty and accomplished, who had soothed his youth by their flatteiies, and exalted his social pleasures bv their talents and vivacity, and this to throw himself among grave dub men of business, who had been a check on Kis enjoyments, and"would neither flatter nor amuse him. Add. that he must have well known from the powerful connexions of those sa tellites how much of intellect, ol wealth, and power were thus armed with the bitterest enmity against him. language haa no terms to express the bitterness of their disappoint ment and the excess of theii lury.— j They hoped to clog the wheels nt the ; stale so that they could not. poss btv ■ go on without them. In the blind ness of their rage they ta»»k part with the enemies of their country, and sighed over every triumph ul the British armies, as adding strength to the hated king and the opposed mi nisters. Yet no one vho treads a downward path can say where he will stop. IJad British peers, ami men of talents, and some principle been told that they would support and encourage the vilest of the. vile, in poisoning for the lowest of the low that great source of intelligence the Press, they would have said, “ Is thy servant a dog, that he should do this thing ?” They have done it how ever, and done it in vain. Then as a final resource ol an infuriated and desperate faction, this wretched and infamous woman was instigated to come home be their I isiphone and kindle the flames of discord thrpugh the country. You see British pa pers, which are almost in ti e pay of the faction, and tberotoie n"ed not he told of what can never bring any thing but shame and sorrow to every British heart, of nobles bvtr.iyii«g ♦heir country and their honor, insult ing their monarch and inflating the baar p:o>ia<*B of those who hate them for being noble. 1 could, if I Kass room atjd time, amuse you with the endless mean shifts made to prop a popularity, that 1 has in itself the. seeds ol dissolution. How many of the lowest of the peo* pic bined clothes and carriages to net the part of ladies and gentle -men for a day, the Queen’s hand, and end drinking gin on the lawn of her dwelling. Nothing but truth ■ and virtue is consistent. Those who were loudest in her defence have never brought their wives & daugh • tors to visit her. She hasnotbeen invited to a single nob’eman's house, ■ and the last strong effort of expi-- ing taction, tin- sacreligious ottenta ' ti«»n of the procession to St. Paul’s 1 w here n..t one man of rack attended ' has completely broke the bubble and • opened the eyes of aU sober thinking • people to the enormity of the object s of pursuit. * Surely (lie wrath of 1 man shall praise him, and the re • mainderof wrath shall he restrain.'* ' The faction has alarmed the whole ‘ nation, and completely defeated 1 . f their own purposes. Vows of loyal ty, ‘ nos loud,hut deep,’ are breath ed from'ten thousand bosoms of those . who, till now, pursued the quiet le -1 ncrol their way, without concern . ing themselves with the public.

She is a person of strong plain sense and an excellent heart, and by her padem e in ad-ersity and moderation in her late prosperity, as well as her general conduct, has Won the good will of all. Her two sons in India have attained to lucra tive situatloas, and allow Iter be tween them two hundr d a yar.—• Her house is a perfect model of good taste and simple neat'.ess.
