I began with my third volume, then proceeded to my second, und last of all grappled with the IilSt. 1 filled two or three sheetsof demy writing paper, folded in octavo, with these memo- ran<J.¡¡m.. They were put down with great brevity, ) t explicitly enough to secure a perfect recollec- tiun of their meaning, within the time necessary for drawing out the story at fall, in shoct paragraphs of two, three, four, five, or six each. I then sat down to write m> story from beginning. I wrote for the most "art but short portiou in any ?i,?gl? 41a,' I wrote only %Cli the afflatus was upon me, I held it for a maxim, that any portion that wus written when I was not fully in the vein, told for considerably worse than nothing, idleness was a thousand tione. better ill this than industry against the grain. Idleness was only tie ¡,I; and the net day, it may be, was as promisinJ as ever. It was merely" day perished fiom the calendar. But a passage written feebly, flatly, aiui in a wrong spirit, constituted an obstacle that it was next to impossible to correct and set right aguin. I wrote, therefore, by starts; sometimes for a week or ten days not a line. Yet all came to the -aine thing in the sequel. On an Bverace, a volume of 'Cahel Williams'cost me four months -neilher less nor more. It mast be admitted, however, that during the whole period, bating a few intervals, my mind was in a high stpte 01 .11. citement. I said to myse!f a thousand-times, I will write a tale thai shall.constitute an epoch in the mind of the reader; that no ODe, after he has read it, shallne.cr be exactly the same moo that was before.1 I put these things down just as they happened, and with tile most entire frankness, I know that it will sound like lbe most pitiable de. gree of self conceit. But such, perhaps ought to be the state of mind of an Author uhen he does his best At any rate, I have sai l nothing of IUV vain glorious impulse for nearly forty y, COI"IEi> FKOM A MIL\fOIU DtM IiOnK. 01,- DR.

She ';itol!v unnoticed in the nursery (or any ta- lents, or quickness of study; indeed, al eight years old she did not know the letters; and her brother, the tar, who, in his boyhood, had a natural genius for hoaxing, used to pretend to teach her to read; and jtave her a book top.iy tun), which. he said, she never found out!

To me, nevertheless, she ronfidcntlt owned that she was Koing, through her brother Charles, to print a little work, but she besought me i ever to ask to see it. I laughed at her plan, but promised silent acquiescence; and the book had been six months published before I even heard its name, whicb I learned at lust with- out her kttowle «e. But great, indeed, was then Uly surprise, to find that it was in general reaiiitig and commended in no common manner in the several Reviews of the times. Of this she was unacquainted hr&el(t as she was then ill, and in the country. When I knew its title, I commis- sioned (Jne of her sisters to procure it for me pri vately. I ope« ed the first volume with fear and trembling, and having the least idea that, withunt the u,ç¡e of the press, or any practical knowledge of the world, xlie could write a hook worth r ading. The dedication to myself, however, brought tears into my ejea; -and before 1 had read half Ih. fir,t volume I was much surprised, and, I confess, delighted, and most especially with the letters of Mr. Villars, Sh# had always a great affection for me; iiati an excellent heart, and a nalnral simplicity and probity ahnul her that wanted no teachillg'(Ex1ract from "Memoirs of Dr. Burney," arranged fwm his own Ulan" scrips, from family papers, and fr.. pe^oual re- collcction, By his daughter, Madame l)'Arb?y, Authoress of44 Evelina," &c.)

This singular circum stance mude 8uch mi ilOpresshu "n his mind, that he felt convinced tlwit something fatal had happen ed to the deceased, which was but too true, for about eight o'cluck in the morning he wa. found I, ing dead in the river, dreadfully disfigured, close to the side of the wharf where the vessel lay. His watch, when taken from his fed* was found to have [stopped at ten minutes past nine o'cloek. He had purse, but no money in it; an old empty tobacco- pouch was taken out of his breeches, pocket.

It is not ,to the honour of f, end, of the Church 01 E"g? that the subscriptions and donations to this ,ueiety should ,ou,,t only to £ 1070.; and the only semblance of palliation is, that tbe ma jority of them, it .av be hoped, are su.cribing locally for the same object.

Spirit of tljc Duftlir 2ouritalo. THE CONSERVATIVES, We observe with great satisfaction the rapid growth of a real Conservative Union." It is, perhaps, the best proof of the popularity of any particular line of policy, when multiplied claimants of the honour of harin (irsl suggested it, present themselves. We shaU not, however, illcrense the number of competitors j whatever our pretensions may be we rest satisfied with the honour 0/ the obloquy, oral und printed, which u, nd?,.t in this particular drew upon us not very long ago. /laud f't1"'titis causis dissidii pacem tracttwus^— this motto, which we have borrowed froju Bacon, has long been our rule of conduct in cases like the present, and in using out best exrtion8 to com pose all differences, we shall not run the risk of exciting new controversies; nor should we, indeed, ut all advert to the subject did it not seem to us expedient II) aweep away the forms, if any there aje, which may obstruct an effectual practical uoion .monKst men whose opinions and zealous devotion to their countiy meet in the most cordial concurrence. No shadow of difference, we are ure, now ex is" .:?.iigs those of the old Tory party, who have continued to profess Conservative principles. We believe that the highest of all motives, the conviction that by a union of Conservatives alone can the country be saved, first effaced whatever difference did exist; but even without giving the full credit which in perfect sincerity we say ought to be given to the disinterested patriotism of all the Conservative party, there is seeur'iy to satisfy the most suspicious that no diunion can eist.- Honesty," always the best policy," is now the on/ £ /imaginable policy ofConservatives intriguing, caballing, dictating, were now not merely ruin in the party happily all are now so absolutely em. harked together, that whatever would injure the part.v lDusl also destroy the individual. The Conservative Tories are, therefore, safe from eren the suspicion of disunion, as well its from the evil it-?lf but the dHlicultes which possibly may retard the accession of that great and im p ,L."t ,i ;:1 wtse;\)SO:dsf; I. r: ry Con- servative, though hitherto they have not been known as Tories, deserve serious consideration.- The extiuction of the nicknames of Whig and Tory, with their Clssociale4 pre<lileetions, and antipa- thies, is one great step to the end which we would propose-the frankest manifestation of a disposi- tion to extend the right hund of fellowship of every Conservative, and, more emphatically tft every Con- servative who has been a Whig, >« another. A willing co-operation with, them, and; a zealous sup port at elections, follow from thfcpivfferof brother hood; for even if sincerity were not the instinct of every honest Englishman, without sinceritJt now nil will be lost. The unity of political action in this country has heeu hitherto effected by association in clubs.— Perhaps, while the huuses of parliall,ent supplied the principal field of political contest, the system of clous as the best preventive substitute that could be deriscd against the danger of more close intrigues Undoubiely, the practice of political manoeuvre was less frequently sculdnlous since, ihsn before the use of political clubs. Unfortu- nately, however, the houses of parliament will no longer supply the exeltisive-seareely the princi- pal1—field of political contest, and clubs therefore Can no longer, in their present shape, serve the purpose which they have hitherto served. They must he expanded, to embrace the Conscnathc people, lie the admirable Irish CUllservntiva So- ciety, or the people \11\;11 cast on all connexion with them. The first stage of expansion in this country, we think, ought to be the invitation of such Con servatives of high rank (for we are uot jet, as in Ireland, in that peril which ought to confound the commonly useful distinctions of society)—the fi ?t t,,g? ,t adaptation., we say, )ttghL to be the invitation Qf such Conservatives, of high rank as have been Whigs, to enrol themselves in a com. vrehcnsivc Conservative Cluh, the basis nf which already exists. When we call this the first step, we of ?t)une .ume that aU limited c.mo,'Wound obscurer places of rnderolls must have been closed, even before the old Tory party could have heen brought into union. The second stage is the combination, DS far as possible, of old Tory and 011 Whig Conservative interests at the elections. United, these interests will, in Great Britain, be abundantly able to over- whelm the ministerial revolutionists and the un- 1 placed revolutionists together; but even all their united strength will not be more than enough to grapple with the united host of British revolu- tionist* and Irish Papists. There is 00 time to be lost.—Standfirdy THE DUTCH WAR. In another part of our journal we have given a detail "rlhe proceediogs at Antwerp, by which it "ijili be perceived .that on Tuesday mor ing, the French commenced their cannonade against the citadel, which was replied to by a tremendous ex \Ii' r,le:e o,I:.í'I:rnI,:i Since that time the bnmbard inent ba? continued \\¡1hllu intermission.

It was therefore expected that irGfrai'd kept his promise, .01 the Belgians acted. wi iii diseietion, the eitv would b. spared. It does not appear that the Belgians have interposed ilJ an oSVnsive 8.auller; but will it be believed that in spite of the French .1",1'. promise be has already bombarded the citadel front Afoutebello, one of the forts bolonging to the town This is clearly a violatpn of his engage- mcuts, and places Antwerp at the mercy ofaxetieral Chasse, who, under these circumstances, would be fully warranted in firing upon the town. Whether he will do so remains to be seen. As to the duration of the tiege there are various speculations. The general opinion if, that, unless bombarded from the city (in which case the des truction of the city is inevitable), and stormed from that quarter, tile citadel will hold out for a month, even though no attempt should be made to relie.e it by the Dutch troops and the Dutch ship$ in the Scheldt. But we can hardly expect that the army under the command of the Prince of Orange, and which is stutioned in the environs of Breda, within the sound of the French guns, will stand idle spectators at the siege, and allow tbeir enuntrymeu to be destroyed without making some efforts to assist them this, we say, i. hardly to be expected; We consequently anticipate Ih. march of the Dutth troops ,upou the French lines, If it be not their intention to interpose, then it would be better to surrender the citadel at once, and save the lives fit. brave deienders; for, onles»rt}1ieved there is no chance nf holding out oluch beyoud the time we have mentiened The Dutch, however, it is also said, rely upon the nntural 811' gilt of the fortress, and contend that it cuu only be taken by sturw; a mode of at- tack al which the French are no adepts, and have rarely employed with much success. It is easy to bombard a place, and make a breach in a stone ur bricll wall, but it is a very different thing to mount that breach at tbe point of the bavnnet.- The BIIglish have carried some of the strongest places in Eutope in this way (St. Sebastian, for in stance), but the F'ench seldom or never. But ?I)p.??i,,g ti??

In fact, he is unsupported by the deputies, aud is at this moment without a ministry or a government—United Kingdom. HFILAT SHOULD THE CCTROT$0? f, ( From the Bristol Journal,) mere is n01OlI1¡ surprises us more, in these times of excitement, than the apathy of those who are in the greatest danger. We should have thought sufficient warning had been given to the Church, by the epeo declaration of the views of the greut mass of Reformers,.by ti),e known adverse opinions of some who eompose the Ministry, their open courting J'th. Dissenter* at the last election, their encouragement of the systematic daily vitu- peration of the press, and the positive acts ruinous to her permanent interests. Whence dAes this apathy arise ? We cannot believe U to be from ignorance of the danger;—we must, therefore, conclude, that it proceeds from the abosolute averting it-tlie persuasion that any resistance must be hopeless. We are, however, of another opinion, and do not think so ill of the Christian community as to fear the result; were a proper Appeal made to them, and from the proper quar- ters. We believe there is an external Christian, Protestant spirit, that on?? wants this appeal to rouse it from its slumber into an energy thut would ( rush, ..?d?r Go d 's blg.ing and direction, the blustering and daring, power of the innovator, the infidel, and the blasphemer. Thpse, then, who should command this spirit are nnder an wful responsibility, if they sleep at their posU, or fold 'heir arms in despair* white tbe ruin of the Christ ian Church is agpcteA By the ruin ofi the Christian Chureh we d0 not mean that total c i t%n that total ::Inw :'e:eeu:i:'oO i:<i:vto:' mand, for we devoutly believe in tbe superintend, ing wisdom of Profidence, and that, finally, "the gates of hell shall not prevail against her;"—but that temporary depression and persecution which would be the curse and punishment of. a. guilly people, left, by this withdrawing of God's grace, to their own deviees, and tbe evil of their own thoughts We will not attempt to picture the horrors of a community withoulreligion-withootanestablished I religion. We might, for this putp?se, point to thi3i :¡::i F:eIfo:isad\h.s:;fali:I:I: I of atheism. It Is sufficient now, if we note the brutalizing effect upon the manners of our own people the patronage and open favour which has been given to the reviiers of the Church. She has been vituperated, in high, price., and is set up, as it were a mark a whjch, every ruflian thinks himself privileged to cast a slone. It is a common belief that Government protection is withdrawn —that a divorce between the Church and State has been pronounced—that to insult the clergy is a passport to ministerial: fakotir-aiid that our national manners are fast becoming gross, brutal, ferocious We will not stay to remonstrate with those who have brought this about, or to hear the jargon or hypocritical denial. We believe that, if the wh'de measure of enmity is not vet determined upon, the humiliation of the Church has passed the fiat of the Government, or their rulers. Nor is it our purpose to enter into a detail of the pett or great infidel triumphs which are to be met -tt. in almost every newspaper: our business is with the Church itself, with the Christian community, and more particu- larly with the Archbishops, Bishops, Dignitaries, and Clergy of the Establishment. Let, them ex cathedra, appeal to the Christian iwrld. Their appeal will oe heard, If they, delay much longer the poison of the serpents, tooth will spread, the i.f??tio. become general, and who shall stand between the living and the dead A iFrcligion and anarchy will be established,b* Ipw, The Church of England has now enem i es in some sects of Dis senlets, whpse deepest interest it is to become her friellds: those, too, wilUisten to the appeal-will unite against the QorQmon dpnger: it is but to raise me voice of, authority, Who is on the Lord's side, and it will,be answered, in shouts of zeal, frum one end of the kingdom to the other. —If the arm hang listless by jhe sidtf, and be weary, Amalek. wijj prevail.
