.The following passage is the conclusion of an
able and eloquent review of the ‘correspondence
,pf William Pitt Earl, of Chatham/ in a late
London. Quarterly; •*■ i ,:-
, )./We;are nqw arrived at the tldsing scene of
Lis illustrious life. Ott the 7th April, 1775, the
Dote of Richmond, hitherto the ally and suppor
ter of jallLordiChathatn’s A Inericdii Policy, mov
ed, an address.to the ‘Crown, recapitulating in de
rail thp expenses, losses, and misconduct of the
, entreating!bis Majesty to dismiss his' Min
isters, and to withdraw his’forces by sea. and
land, from tlte revolted provinces. There was
hardly,a.topic in this- motion which Lord Chat-
Lam had not, himself repeatedly* urged; and it
was, no d outfit, so framed with a view to secure
his concurrence; but? he* saw that it involved,
though* not <o direct termsvthc acknowledgement'
;of fi raericau Independence ; and'on the motion
being communicated to him the ’uay before it was’
,to bo madec he apprized* the Duke, ‘ with un
speakable concern, that the difference between
them, on the point of the independence and sove
reignty of A raeritu, was sO very wide that he
despaired of bringing about any resonable issue.
He was still all. birt hoped to* be in town 10-mor-
J row.’ On that morrow he-appeared in the House
pf Lords .for the last lime r : x
. “.Lord Chatham came into the House of Lords
leaning upon two friehds, wrapped up in flannel,
pale and emaciated. Within hie large wig little
mpge waste. be seen than his aquiline hose and
,Ilia, (penetrating -eye. He looked like a dying
~Rh«P; yet. never was seen a* figure of more digni-'
ty ; he appeared like a being of a superior species;
He rose from hie seat with slowness arid difficul-'
ty, leaning.on his crushes, and supported under
'eaeff arm by filsttwe friends. He lotok onC hand
,from-Lis crutch* and raised if casting his eves fo
waid Leavea, and said, “ I thank God that I'have
been enabled to come here this daV—to perform
my duty, and to speak on a suliject which has so
deeply impressed ray mind. lam oid and infirm
—Lave one foot, more than ohe foot, in the grave
—I am risen from my-bed toetand up in the cause
of my country never again to speak
in this House.?—The attention—
i the stillness of the House was most affecting:
if, any one had dropped the noise
would have been heard.* At first he spoke in
a yary,low.and-feeble tone: but as he grew warm
his voice rose, and was* as harmonious as ever ;
oratorical affecting, and perhaps more than at
any farmer period ; both from his own situation,
and from the importance of the subject on which
s he.*poke. ..it?. ' *< »• • »
‘1 He reyoked that he was yet alive to give his
vote against so impolitic, so inglorious a measure
as the acknowledgement of the independency of
America; and declared he would much rather
be in his grave than see the lustre of the British
throne dignity of the empire dis
graced, the throne of the nation sunk to such a
degree as it must be, when the dependency of
America on these* oretngty of Great Britain was
given up.” ....
After speaking far some time - with- great en
thusiasm, he sat down exhausted, and the Duke
of Richmond rose to explain. While he was
speaking, Lord Chatham listened to him with
attention and composure, and when his grace had
ended, rose? to* reply ; but his strength failed him
and he fell backward in convulsions. He' was
immediately supported by the peers arriund him,
j and. by hisyoungest sons who happened to be pre-'
j sent as spectators. He was conveyed first to the
house of Mr. Sargent, in Downing street, and
thence to Hayes, where he lingered for three days,
and Monday the 11th of May terminated a glo
rious life by a death, it may be said, in the ser
vice of his country; and on the very field of bat
tle.
Tha’ same evening—on the motion of Col.
Barre, foi’tnerly the bitterest of his enemies, but
lately become a close ally—the House of Com
mons voted
ment in Westminster Abbey, a tribute in whiefi
men of ail pailies generously and cordially
joined.
We have so folly expressed,* ‘as we proceeded,
our opinions on the ■several promts of Lord Chat
ham’s policy and the varying features 1 of His
character that we Lave little more to add.
That he was the most powerful orator thaj
ever illustrated and ruled the Senate of this Em
pire—that for nearly half a century he was not
merely the arbiter of the destinies of his own
country, but ‘ the foremost man in all the world’
—that he had an unparalleled grandeur and afflu
enceof intellectual powers, softened and bright
ened by all the minor accomplishments—that his
ambition was noble— his views instinctively eleva-i
led—his patriotism all excessive-—that in alt the
domestic relations of life he was exemplary arid
amiable—a line scholar, a finished gentleman, a;
sincere Christian —one w'hom his private friends
and servants loved as a good man, and all the
world admired as a great one—these are the?
praises which his contemporaries awarded, and
which posterity has, with little diminution, con
firmed:.
, But, on the other hand, there Were serious de
fects which decreased his splendor, 'impaired his
' authority, and rendered his great abilities rather,
glorious to himself than, for any practical pur-,
poses, beneficial to his country. These defects]
though of course well known tor the political cir
cles in which he moved, and deplored and cen
sured by the sober few, were 'so much hi the
fashion of the rimes, and were so glossed over
by his own wonderful-powers, as to excite com
paratively little contemporaneous observation—
but since his life has become history, and been
elucidated by contemporaneous letters aud me
moirs they have appeared, every . day more and
tnprq flagrant; iqd the present publication has
brought them out in still bolder prominence.
In the first place, it would not bo easy to spe
cify anv positive advantage, .(except, perhaps the
possession —valeat quantum —of Canada) which
■ the country has inherited Irom Lord * Chatham.

V i Highly useful. We can calculate* lhe ; ‘extent to
whjfcn. His Tepiuresj so to, ca)l ifiem, may haveedu
fiasra and, improved the public mind ip both the
| Tb'lence arid the art of Government;? How ma-
M fit' .statesmen may his example have .formed ?
- , How may improvements may his precepts have ' t
j ' produced ’ How many errors and evils may Iris j
' authority have repressed ? But of direct, per-. ,j
VfiaUent, ameliorations of our social and pcdili- \
■ ca| condition, few of our statesmen—even those 1
, | who had not a thousandth part of his abilities: —: j
J have, we believe, left such scanty traces, j
Though so sagacious and so accomplished a ,
] mirid could not be indispensable to, and did in
i fact highly appreciate, the value pf mental culti
vation. social improvements,. cpmmercial enters,
prise, and all the fair and fruitful arts, of peace,
i j yet he did little for them. His genius and his
i voice—‘quo non piu-stantior alter— yEro ciere
1 virus, Martemque accendere cantu’ —‘ vverr still
i fori far— a fearful lottery, m which one or two
I brilliarit prizes are dearly purchased by the mis
ery of individuals and the calamity us nations.
\\ e believe the world is by this time pretty well
disposed to subscribe to Sir Samuel RomUlv.’s
opinion that the glories, as they are called, nt,
Lord Chatham’s administration, ‘.produced no
solid advantage to his country’—and how short,
a space of Lis career was that epoch of doubtful
• | gtdry !
As to his personal qualities, it must be admit
' ted that his temper, naturally reserved and haugh
ty, was, as he advanced in life, soured by disease
' and disappointment. // is not good for man to
! be atone in political, any more than in social liXe ;
but he endeavored to release hirasgif from the ob
••j Hgatioxis of political connexion—affected to stand
; alone, and to guide himself by his
lights, and interests-—he grew, at first,
impatient of coritratHclion, and of ad-
I vice, and even assistance —he used to/ shut him
self uplnthe impenetrable solitude,qf an eastern,
r‘despot, from which he emerged occasionally to
dazzle the world with his pomp and. splendor, j
! This isolation could not fail to produce singular!-,
: ty and selfishness, and to Foster a dictatorial habit
: of mind very ill-fitted for a minister under our
Constitution.
We have already mentioned with regret his 1
| indiscreet and offensive language towards George !
1 H. which had, we believe, the effect—more in- j
*[ jurtouS to the interests of the country than even
| his own—of keeping him out of efficient office
| at a time when he could have served the spite
i with distinction, and his own mind might have
i* been trained to habits of practical business,.which (
he never'afterwards attained. And we cannot, !
in truth and candor, designate his conduct to- j
4 waidsGeorge llf. otherwise than as alike ungrate- ,
bfal arid unconstitutional—unjust in its spirit,
4 mischievous In its effect, and pernicious in its
] consequences.
He lived, too, at a time when public principle, [
1 as we now understand the term, was at a verv
; low ebb amongst public men ; and his practice
brought it-sfill lower. He thougnt too steadily
! of his own - and in pursuit of
i ihem was both as to persons
[ and principles. \\e do not, as the world in geo
j oral* -ddea, *reeftbu consistency as one of the first
virtues of public men. Sagacity to detect, and
candor to - avoW one’s - own errors we rate much
; Iwgher; beside'L all is not inconsistency that at
first-sight seems so—-circumstances change, and
| to be*consistent in principle, a, statesman may be i
r forced to inconsistencies in practice. But the in
consistencies, or at least the majority of them. !
which are atlcdged against Lord Chatham, are
not ot this class. There is not, we believe, to be
named any one of his various adversaries who
did not successively become his political associ
ate —nor any one of his various associates who
! was not, on some other turn of the wheel, his
decided adversary. There is not, we believe, to ,
, be found any one considerable measure which he I
I over advocated tha: he did not at some- other time !
oppose : nor any that he ever opposed which he
did not at some other period advocate. Conscious
of his vast superiority to all the politicians who
: surrounded him, hb probably had sincerely per
suaded himself that Ms being in a place was a
eine qua non to the prosperity of the country,
. and he seems to have acted a!! through life. as*iT
he thought that all means were just and honora
‘ hie which rmud lead to so desirable an end.—
j Thera was some trutfi in (hat self-flattering idea,
j Endowed aa he was with with irrepressible aqibi
i tion and irresistible talents, he must inevitably
( have either ruled or disordered the state; but the
-1 misfortune was. that an overweening self-conti
j deuce disinclined, and a haughty and capricious
temper disabled him from conciliating and asso
< elating in his designs the humbler, but still ne
| cessary utilities of other men. He fancied he
could make a political clock which should go bv
. me*e force of the main spring, without the help
iof cog-wheel, pendulum or balance—tl e conse
j-qUence was, that his system, whenever it was set
j a going, ran itself out in a moment,
)• The-sum of all seems to us 'to'be that the
j qualities of the orators were more transcendent
t that** those of the statesman, and that his public
, character, when calmly considered, rather
admirat'on than applause. The generosity of
I his sentiments did nut always guide his practice ;
, and the majestic stream of his declamations for
, the rights and litanies of mankind was always
; accompanied by eddies and under currents of
personal interests. He was too fine a genius for
j lower, and 100 selfish a politician for the highest
duties of a minister—
| “Graced as be was with all the power of words”—*
] his talents were neither for conducting an office
i nor manageing a party —he was neither the. sun
1‘ to rule the day, nun the moon to rule the. night
| j —but a meteor which astonished and alarmed
! , mankind by its supernatural splendor, but left
| the world, when it expired, in deeper darkness
1 than before.

i ‘Around the world.’] The ourang outang, which
’ literally means a wild man, has been classed as a
species of the simiu, or ape genius, though it is
generally admitted by Zoologists to have much
more resemblance to human beings. Many at
■|! tempts have been made to procure adult individ
uals, and it is now orie of the greatest desiderata
among naturalists, particularly of America, to
compare the habits and capacities of this singular;
/: burlesque upon humanity, if such it is. In the
| wild state, ourang outarigs are universally gregari
•ij ons, and, as they can use misslTes, and generally '
*, fight erect, with clubs, they are invincible except
• j to the musketry of man, and often attack tigers
~i with- success. Voung specimens, however, havq
been taken and trained in Africa, Java, Borneo,
i and Sumatra; and although they have Survived
. but a few months the restraints of civil life,
1 enough has been noted to encourage the belief
i that the ourang outang and chimpanzee, if not a
species or race of’hu'manity', must be the conuect
- ting Hnk between it and the brutes. Bulfon stron*4
> ly advocated the former, and relates Iris own
t , observations of an oUrang - outang which he saw ,
. ■ was. mild, affectionate, and good nature^; and
) signs and words were sufficient to move him. ‘1
1 ! have seen, says, he, this animal present his hand
i} to conduct the people who cume to visa him, *nd
j walk as gravely along with them/ as it he- had l
I been one of the company.' I’have r.eeri him-;sif
r* down- at a table, unfold, his napkih.'wipe lips,
? and use a spoon knite and fork, to Convey „vic
tuais to his mouth ; and besides pour his liquor
into a glass and make it touch that of the pCVsrin
i who*drank with him.’ ,, ''FraticiS Byrad in his voy
[ agfs Bays r Hrl -Sierra Leone there is a strong
j species that labor ds servants, ckt ry water on.their
j heads, and rinse glasses and carry thenl round to
j* company / Grant, tod, says He saw at Java, ‘an
! extraordinary ape— a‘ female, rety modest—who
i .walked erect, ■with- no Lair tm Her face, except for
eyebrows, ■’ She madeffter bed neatFy every day,
laid chi her side and covered hetseff'With bed
clothes. When her head ached, she bound it with
a/kerchief.’ Matte Brun' speaks df others that
mixed with the Africans/ and M. de 'Grand'pre
saw a female* chimpanzee, or sirnia troglodytes,'
that could heat an -overt with care, and on a voyage
was as expert at-the'eapsfartor in the rigging as an
old tap. In Sumatra, f was myself tohi by marry
that, in one-of tlieit villages a famriy is kno\vp
' which sprang from an-ourang outang that was
married by a Malay. She soon followed the‘cus
toms of other Women in her mode of living and
working, and although her offspring for three
generations were nearly dumb, they now speak
the same as natives. Indeed many of the old
men on the coast more resemble ourang outarigs
than they do men. - One ra particular, a man of
rank too, who came off from Puff Kio to the ship
was like this kind of beast. He had the flat nose
deficient chin, short pursy front, carkverv large,
eyes too near,-arid a profusiori of hair covering his
whole person:; in short having thepecuiraf mark's 1
of the ourang outang. excepting the long arms','
extra distance of upper lip. from the hose, arid
. thirteen ribs. He had also, that same 1 ludicrous
gravity , and melancholy quizz calncSs of express
ion which the ourang- outang always 1 has. Os
course I cannot vouch for the truth Os the riurang
human as Herodotus says, they so in
j formed me, who had the best chance to know.

We have often heard the question asked what
I became of Blannerhassct,' after the failure, of
j Burr’s project, his connection with which was
1 so disastrous to his fortunes and his domestic hap
-1 {ti-ness?, The question is answered in the follow-*,
mg biographical sketch, written ny Lis. son. Jo
seph Lewis Blanncrhasset. which we find in the
Louisville Literary Register. MtrV J. L. Blanncr
hasset-lives; it appears, at Si. Johns, T\ewfound
land.
I Harman Biannerha.sset was bbni in Hampshire,
I in tno yeur 17G7, his parents being then on a visit
i to England. 'Shortly after, they returned to tjie
family residence, Castle Conway, Kerry' county,
Ireland. From the high standing and wealth of
his father, who was at that time high sheriff, Ac*
no expense was spared to fender him capable pf
holding that genteel stdffoh’in society \vhicL his
ancestors had held in EnghVrld from the earliest
times. After having'received‘the various fudi
meiits fn>ra private masters, he went first to Eton
School,near Windsor, and subsequently to Trini
ty College, Dublin, where he acquitted himself
so well as to obtain in a Very short lime two de
grees. v.z; Bachelor of Arts', arid Bachelor of Ci
vil and Common Laws, He was suhsequentlv
called to the Irish- bar arid created a fellow of the
Honorable Society of the King's Inns, Dublin.—
j He passed his examination the same day with
l the late Thomas Addis Emmet, between whom
I and himself the greatest frihdsfiip ever existed. (
] After making the tour of the Low Countries and
t - ranee, where he was present at the destruction ]
ol the Bastile, &c. he returned to Ireland, where i
he practiced as barrister in the year 1797 anil, I
1798. when, his father dying, he became'posses- i
sed ot the family estate and a large fortune,
i Irelandatthat period being distracted by the hor
i tors of rebellion, he sold his estate to his cousin.
Lord V entry, and went to England, where he be
came acquainted with and mafried a Miss Agr
new. daughter of the Lieutenant Governor of the
Isle ot Man, and the grand-daughter of Gen. Ag
uew, killed in the battle of Germantown, a young
lady ot high fftmily connections, great beautv
and accomplishments. Accompanied Hv his
wife, he went to the Fnited Slates, and purchas
ed the island on the Ohio fiver, known 'to tins
day. by his name. After the Burr affairLe left
the island, and went into the State of Mississip
pi, where, by the advice of Gen. Adair, of Ken
tucky, he purchased a plantation from Mr. Bra
zil, a few-mifeh from Gibsonj on. WhenLe liad
resided some years upon this plantation having!
so!4 it. he went into Canada, where he practised :
at tiie bar in Montreal. His cofrimissidn ap- !
pointing him to practice in the Province of Low- j
er Canada t is dated 4th December, 181’9. After *
temaining some time in Canada he went to Eng- j
laud, under the impression of being made a
judge, through the favor of the- Duke’ of Rich- j
moral, then Governor of Lower Canada, who |
was very partial to him: but the untimely deafft |
of ilial nobleman marred his expectations. Ere
he returned to Canada for the purpose of bringing
his family to England, his sister Miss Aviqe
Blannerhassct, settled the bulk of her forturle
upon himself and His family. After he had 1
brought his family trom Canada, he resided with
his sister some time near the city of Bath. As |
both his sister and himself were invalids, thex j
went to the island of Jersey, bn the coast us
France, for the sake of enjoying a more gonial
climate; thence, after residing two vears, heweiit j
to the island us Guernsey, where he died at his i
residence, Mount Durad, in the arms of the wif- j
ter ol this sketch, in the ycar 1831.
Harman Blannerhaisct, in bodily stature, wafe
rather above the general size. His iriamiers were
highly.polished, and his*address captivating ahl
agreeable. From nis youth he Was ardently at
tached to literature and philosophy; seldom'allow
ing himself, even in hisold age, more than six or
seven hours sleep in the twenty-four, and two or
three hours exercise, the remainder of his time
was employed either in acquiring or impart
ing knowledge on subjects connected with the !
general literature ol the period, or investiga
ling more abstruse subjects relating to the dead I
languages, the mathematics, natural philosophy,
aud the fine arts. His musical composuions have
been performed by some of the finest bands, ai d ;
have been much admired by connoisseurs; and his
writings display great depth of learning in. and,;
perception into; the various subjects on which
they treat. He was endowed, naturally, with a
most retentive memory; so much, that tip to a
short time prior to his death, he could repeat, in
Greek, the w hole of Homer’s Iliad. I might dilate ■!
upon his moral virtues, and religious and do- 1
mestic merits; hut as there are those still alive who i
knew him, and as to those who did pot know
him, it might appear that I was adulating a de
ceased parent, I shall refrain.
