Perhaps, some folks may think inc over-earnest in this matter, and that I am only paying you, gentlemen, an idle compliment for the gift of the paper—but it is not true; I speak with sincerity—not doubting but its subscribers will readily allow that my remarks are just.—I am, gen tlemen, gratefully, yours, ROBERT S.

Napoleon in the other world.—A Narra tive written by himself, and found near his tomb, in the island of St. Helena, by Xongo Tee-Foh-Tchi, Mandarin of the Third Class. It has seldom been our good fortune to meet with a more ably executed and enter taining performance of the kind, than the 3 before‘us—at least since we last took leave of the pages of Lucian. Its allegori cal character is extremely well conceived, and as well sustained throughout; difficult, and even intricate, as such a subject is con fessedly allowed to be. These difficulties the author has here boldly encountered^ and for the most part successfully overcome, making good the observation of Hobbes, that to him who boldly dares, most things become easy fit la9t. In other branches of his subject, likewise, the author often dis plays a rare degree of merit.; he has the art of combining much solid political wisdom and remark with lighter topics, with exqu|‘ site satirical humour and reflections; arid with that play ( of manner and of style wlkch so greatly enhance the zest and interest felt in this species of writing. The whole, too, is in good keeping; there is an air of pro bability and justice in the representation of the abodes, the conversations, and the re wards and punishments, assigned to the character of the departed Greats -Many excellent moral and political maxims are * interspersed with the conversations ; alto gether producing an impression highly fa vourable to the author. Occasionally, too, there runs a vein of wit, and satire thro’ Sjhe political conversations, which tells admira bly from the lips of (lie illustrious persona ges who are introduced. The meetings, olT mighty enemies in the other world, and their retrospective conversations on the affairs
