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 this lump w as fpun I.

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 ment falling I v the very means (the mi litary) on which the continental despots »olejy rely for maintaining that which ex ists. Spain, Nuples, nnd now Portugal l 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. Married, in this place on Wednesday evening last, hv the Ri-v. Mr. Sliackh-forn, Mr. Henry V«\ Mai.o.ne, to Miss Frances It. Darnf.ll.
