Among the Italian Satires of the serious class, M. G. distinguishes those of Ariosto, Alamanni, and Ercole Bentivoglio; he neglects nothing that can show their originality; but it appears to us, that excepting some pieces of Ariosto, there is not to be found in any of these Satires (says M. Daunou, the Reviewer) either the energy of Juvenal, the ingenious raillery of Horace, or the happy mixture of both these, such as we find in Boileau, and some more modern French satirists.

OBSERVATIONS ON LUCIEN BUONA-
PARTE'S NEW POEM.

(From the Quotidienne, an Ultra-royalist
Journal.)

Lucien Buonaparte, alias Prince of Canino, being well assured, at the commencement of July, 1815, that France would prefer the descendants of St. Louis, to those of Nicholas Buonaparte, an attorney of Ajaccio, resolved to return with all pos sible speed, to the place whence he came It happened, therefore, that one morning, the gentlemen who had assembled to attend the levee of his Imperial Highness, found that he had decamped. Among the

certain Charlemagne, which has long since
been consigned to oblivion.

Nevertheless, that the means of liqui-
dation offered by the Prince of Canino to
his creditors duly convoked, might not be
rejected without good cause, the Syndic
proceeded to open the said epic poem,
which was found to consist of twelve can-
tos, each canto containing sixty strophes,
and each strophe, including ten crossed
Alexandrine lines, among which
short
line of six syllables was introduced by way
of contraband.

At the very commencement of the work
the following line occurs :-
"L'aube dorait les monts."

"Un surnom glorieux attestera son zèle." And by way of explanation, it appears in a note that this glorious surname is Buona-parte. The persons present being all faithful subjects of the King, were not precisely of this opinion.

At length, all voices exclaimed, "Come Syndic, you are very unfortunate in yout selection; turn to some better passages. He turned over another leaf, and read:

"Dans l'horrible sérail, que tout, que tout périsse." It was then suggested that the que tout, que tout, should be sold to a famous translator of Homer, to whom it might be presented as a new discovery from among the papers of the late Rochefort; but the translator had no money at his disposal, and the bargain could not be concluded. Disheartened by their ill-success, and convinced that there must be a loss of five and twenty per cent. on every canto, the creditors thought it advisable to proceed no farther; and it was unanimously re solved that the quire of scribbled paper called the Cerneide, should not be placed to the credit of the Princes' account current, but be entered as so much dead and unprofitable stock.
