A lump of virgin silver weighing;, six
ty ounces, »v;is lately found between
three and four miles Horn this place, hy
n person employed as a ditcher.
It was discovered about two fool be
low the surface ; but the finder refuses
to give any other information, hoping,
no doubt, lo meet with further success.
It was at first supposed to have been
plate' that had been melted nnJ but led
lor concealment by some thief or robber
of distant days. A close examination
however satisfies us that it is pure virgin
silver.
It has been generally believed that
where masses of silver have been (blind
in such a state, they indicate the- vicinity
of silver ore in mine ; however of this
there is not llie least uppearence where

ON THE STATE OF EUROPE.
FROM THE LONDON MORNING CHBOXICLE.
Ftiyope now presents ft curious spec
tacle. Here we see monarrhs leaguing
together ” tn maintain that which exists,”
and to prevent deviation in any manner
from the existing order of things, from
whatever origin it may h ive sprung.”—
There we see government after govern

litary) on which the continental despots
»olejy rely for maintaining that which ex

What rotten state edifice is next doomed
to crumble nt the touch of the sword ?—
What are the people of Germany about ?
Are there no men of practicable talents
among them capable of enabling tlie po
pular feeling to display itself vvim effect,?
Or will they by their conduct justify tho
sarcastic observation of an acute writer,
the Baron de Stendnhl, that they are yet
incapable of any thing beyond college
dccimnalhms, and that every country in
Europe will he free before Germany ?
All we can say i®, that the nation in let
fi-rs, which doe® not profit hy the great
lesson which has now been so distinctly
given, descpvob to remain ia them.
’I lit* events of .Spain ami Portugal are
indeed, truly heart elevating. 'They af
ford an admirable illustration of the in
stability of every system of government
which has not the common advantage for
its object. A good government requires
no standing army, and where there is no
standing army, tho will of the people must
ho consulted. A government which dis-
rexirds the will of the people can only
exist by means ofa standing army ; and
miserable indeed, would he the prospects
uf mankind, if this instrument anJ the
will cf the employer were inseparably u-
mted. Fortunately, however, armies
ire composed of men, with all the feel
ing* of men. The ties which land them
to llicir fellow subjects are stronger than
those which connect them vv ith their em
ployers. Their parents, their wives,
their children, will never allow them to
target how intimately their interests and
those of the rest of the people are united
Anil hence, whoDeier discontent be
comes general in u nation, the army can
not fiil to participate in that di-content,
and instead of contributing to support
the tyranny, will only hasten its over
throw.
The history nf the ancient world af
fords but too many proof®, that no sov
ereign can place any secure depcndancc
on a standing army. In modern limes,
the two states of Europe, which have
been exclusively military, are precisely
those in which we have seen the most
numerous dethronements. What a pic
ture do the court of St. Petersburg and
of Constantinople, during the last hun
dred years, present lo us 1 Standing ar
mies are of but recent introduction in mo
dern times, but already they have taught
several significant lessons. CTomatcl!
soon found that his army was every thing
hut a passive instrument. James the
Seroml was deserted in the hour of neeJ
by his army. Louis the Fourteenth w as
the cstahlishor of great standing armies
in France, and llie sovereign who fol
lowed his immediate successor saw his
army turned against him.
I it announcing the recent revolution lit
Naples, in our piper of the 21st of July
last we observed, “ Feeble indeed is llit?
tenure of the throne that depends on the
arm of power, and is not fixed in the love
of the subject. An nrmv can he only
depended on for blind obedience, when
it i* kept in savage ignorance ; and thank
God that is not now the raise with the ar
mies in any part of civilized Europe.”
Against these truths the members of tlie
Indy alliance may write as many circular
as they please. They caunot alter the
nature of things.
