USEFUL MAXIMS. Jonathan Tyers was the author of many pleading fifl s : indefatigable in reading the newest publications either of Belles letters or politic , and possessed rf a pecuiiatly retentive ; v mory, he was every where a welcome gucat, Td having the agreeable faculty of always n--yjeating the good natured side of a Htoryy the . . anecdotes he retailed pretty coi iously were , iarely fi.und either tedious or disag eeable. ' I" August, 1785, he drew up a very remarka set of resolutions, some of which deserve il J?'.?. Perpetuated ; they were not probably by i' him, nor i I thy be by others, strictly ad, ' -'ted to, but.they may aerve many who have . Ho patience for dissertations, and are some . v-:- .... : . , ..

Most of these resolutions, as they apply to the mind or body, may be usefully adopted, and in addition they who submit to the salutary practice of self examination, may add to the 1 st the results ofthir own experience with respect to their conduct and character ; and by a frequent reference to, ad comparison With the ca al puc. elf ct a conquest over bad bablts and propens'ui s, which ca never be suppress ed unless i to .ght frequently before the tribu nal of conscience, and submitted to its unerring scrutiny. Nohumanbeing is exempt from the influence of some daring vice or some fa vc urite passion, which is continually either at open or secret war with the law of the mind, impeding its progress or disturbing its tran quility. To combat with the se should be our unceasing endeavour ; and as far as tempta ions arc concerned, " when tishard to com ba, 41 we should learn to fly," there is not a more dangerous delusi h than confidence io our own strength ; to remove from danger is, in many instances, where the affections are concerned, the m ist effectual mode of averting it ; and absence has sometimes done' more for virtue than human fortitude could ever have actori) a treaty between Austria and Trance, and to which a third power (not named) is stated to be a par ty, the stipulations of which are said to be in tended as guarantees against liussia. The existence of such, a treaty Lord Casiiereagh did not deny. It will ihus be seen that volu minous as the papers are that have been laid before Parliament, the whole case arising out or the late negociations,)? not brought forward and that questions of lac highest importance remain altogether unexplained, it is not a little singular, that the convention of Paris, the construction of which involves matters of high interest, has been altgelher omitted in the documents communicate d, and that it has be come necessary to make a specific motion lor its production. The nation is already aroused from one end of the kingdom to the other, on the subject of the Income Tax. The universal feeling is, that in attempting to impose it again, Minis ters break their solemn promise, and cannot again be trusted, either ou this or on any thing. Marshal Soult, it is said, has received an in vitation to enter int& the Russian service, and many other Frenchmen dist nguith.d by thvir talents for cammand,or for military adminis tration have been pressed by the Emperor A lexander to settle in his empire. Several per sons who have cultivated the sciences with dis tinction, have also been invited, under very encouraging circumstances, to settle in Kussia. Lacepedc,the naturalist, and Chaptal, the che mist, and ex-minister of the interior, have de clined the invitation, aod are preparing to set out for die United Statea of America.
