EDWARD LIVINGSTON. Washington, '. A person sojourning in this metropolis is led 1,v a natural curiosity, as well as by respect for his hi crh reputation to visit the Secretary of State. All the public functionaries at Wash i.i.rtnn. when not particularly engaged, are ac- reusable to the calls of strangers. On being j introduced, J was struck witn tne unostenta tious carriage and kind manner of Mr. Livin.g lon. It was impossible to perceive in him the slightest trace of personal vanity or self suffi ciency. I saw before me a man of tall and ereirt" form above sixty with hair once as black as the raven's wing with a quick, pro minent and intelligent eye dressed with taste nnd elegancehut in style- every way suitable to his years and hi'h station. In his step and movement he seemed to possess Utmost the spring and. alacrity of youth. It required only a Glance to -perceive, that the Sf cretary had. " n 1 been bred in the "best society" by which terms I do not merely mean that he lias been brought up amongst the rich the well born llie cay and the fashionable- but that in his youth and 'early manhood, he was accustomed to ce and associate with that numerous corps! o gentlemen who were to be found in the Ar- j rnv during the revolution, and in Congress soon ; a Iter the adoption of. our Cnunstituiion. I j mean, 'of course, such men as Washington, . r. .ictU'rsrm, ii amnion, mauison, tne iers, nn. j er never Jantastic or aosurd without any utlr:Lr"s, -and the . Finckncys. These men, : tawdry ornaments his knowledge of Ids sub J v tht ir gentleness and dignity iri their . in;cr- jcct was copious, almost to redundancy his course with society , threw a grace over their : judgment was profound and high reaching. enduring renown. - He was heard with deep attention by the judges , A-rnan, iti this inquisitive age, who lias any ; by the jurors with rev: rence and admi nr.quaintane.e willi the world, or any desire to ; ration by hi- brethren of the Bar with delight improve himself is not satisfied with merely by the curious and inquisitive stranger. Twen speenlating upon the dress, the manner, ors the ty years ago, when Edward Livingston had at--yomper of a Secretary of State the second ; taiued the ripeness of mature age when' he b'ile in the administration of a g;eat Govern-j was in full practice his fame was known to merit. Opportunity has been afforded me, since j the whole West to the very boatmen who my residence here, to see a good ueai ot ,yir. j liivinirtitoii, and therefore. 'I propose to say incthing more of him. Yet it must be ac knowledged that our language is vague and weak, when it is employed to distinguish the -varieties of mental superiority. It is easy to describe a man's merii in general terms of com mend ation, because some of k man's qualities j!ic as it were on the surface. ; But it is an ar duous undertaking accurately to describe the range and compass of a man'Siinteliectual view ibis power of contemplating many and dis tant objects together, without indistinctness or confusion. Before 1 attempt to describe what Mr.-Livingston in, I will state Iwhat I am very .pure he is not. He is not a metaphysician - nor an astronomer nor a mathematician nor a phii6logint nor a chemist. He is wholly '. exempt from the love of aingularity orparadox. He '.a no inveterate prejudices. His familia jrity with the active world 'has guarded him w against all risionaryr and fruitless speculations. He nerer speaks or writes iji the language of v; exaggeration. . 7 Mr. Livingston has an extensive acquain tance with, and a warm devotion to, Literature. Thia love of literature has been one of his main enjoyments through life, when relieved from the pressure of his professional business. No 1 man is more thoroughly convinced than the Secretary of State, that a civilian and a states man in these days, without literature, is like icmus with his eye out.: And here 1 may be permittted to remark, that the value of what termed literary knowledge, is not, perhaps, generally perceived; although itf ' lies much nearer to the feelings of mankind than science and although it has the most important effect on the sentiments with which the sciences are Tegarded the activity with which they are pur sued, and the modes with which they are cul tivated. Polite literature .allures the world . into the neighborhood of the sciences ot morals and of mind : and it is not only the true guar dian of the moral sciences-and the sole instru ment of spreading their benefits among men, ' but it becomes, from those very circumstances, , the regulator of their cultivation and their pro gress. Hence we see in the age of growing hght and advancing improvement, readers in the cominoti ranks of society, who are gradual ly led on from eloquence tp poetry, to morals and philosophy.'. Philosophers and moralists, who used to speak only to one anoher,-now a'.uress'the great body of mankind with the "ope of fame and usefulness. Intercourse with the great public, now supplies new materials . i(nd imposes new restraints.; These feelings common; sense and ordinary affairs of men, now present themselves to the statesman. Our public functionaries sneak in (intelligible terms to thLcrneral understanding and sentiments. HenAaoitti. Livingston has sjecured to himself, all thfeee mental gratification's and wordjy ad vantages which result from! an acquaintance with general literature. Even now he reads wiih zest and avidity, the finest literary produc . t'ons of the day. One is filled with a irratifv- , mg surprise, to see the Secretary still employ rd in disciplining and enriching'his mind- still Pursuing with ardor and vivacity of early man hood, that system of self education, founded on Hudy, .research and the deductions of experi ence, without which a maji can hardly continue ' ne, at this day, either great or usetul. -Mr. Livingston is a devoted friend to liberty to constitutionaljrepresentative Government, jn iny conversations with him on this subject, nave been struck with his vigorous thoughts and broad and comprehensive views. In the raOge of my acquaintance, I'do not know a single man who has a calmer or more settled .miorv, that forms of Government have overwhelming influence on the happiness of society, than Edward Livingston no one who has a deeper detestation of those hideous vices which are generated by tyranny, in the govern ed as well as the governor. I believe there cannot be found in the nation a man who would resent with more indignation and promptitude any attempts on the public liberty, than Edward Livingston-no one who holds in higher estima tion the well founded favor of the public. And yet no hopes of honor no prospects of promo tion could induce him to appeal to the guilty passions and prejudices of the people; or to maintain measures not sanctioned by sober reason. Ifyoutalkto Mr. Livingston of the expansion of the public wealth of our capital of our commerce and communications ol thn rmiltinlication of our riches his counfe- nance glows with'delight, and he connects them instantly with our constitution and its great principles, if he speaks to you of tbeexpen ,i;hu-.5 of ih Government he denounces all waste and extravagance, as hosiile to liberty. And vet he "holds to a liberal economy not that false economy which mars the national nn.snpritv and chokes the sminsrs of future I ' - - j ' j x wealth that is short sighted, single eyed that looks to petty savings as the sole secret of political Alchemy. Mr. Livingston is a profound and accomplish ed Lawyer. During ins long and brilliant ca rcer at the bar, he exhibited in his pleadings an exact knowledge of all the strong and weak narts of every cause he had to manage. He I - j j employed general principles, and enlarged hi views to wide and comprehensive conclusions. Always restrained by delicacy, springing both frnn taste and feeling, he used all lawful am honorable advantages most likely to he success- fl2l. n his forensic combats he was dignified, and observed strictly the Iavys of polished hos t ilitv. A strong, masculine perspicuous speak navio-ateu tne Mississippi. nen engagea in a great cause, where life, reputation, or a vast amount of properly wasjnvolved when he put forth all his powers when his genius was en kindled the homage of Che crowd was attested 1 bv the eagerness with which it pressed forward to behold him, and 4.ne hreatniess silence witn which it heard him. It is not my purpose to speak in this place, particularly, of the Crimi nal Code which Mr. Livingston has given to his adopted Slate. Upon its merits, civilians and statesmen, both of Europe and America, have pronounced judgment. But, if Che reputation of Grotius is canonized if Yattel, though a diffuse and superficial writer ; is yt read and applauded if praise is justly bestowed on Ful ton for his successful application of steam to the great and multiplied purposes of commerce if the countrymen of Clinton are bound in gratitude to raise a mausoleum over his re mains, why should we not honor Edward Li ingston for his admirable Code of Criminal Law, founded upon a philosophical view of man, and a wise, practical judgment upon his present condition? However, we are cheered by cne consoling reflection! The time is at hand when other than posthumous honors will be awarded to our great men. The time is ap proaching when homage will be paid, not mere ly lo successful politicians, but to intellectual supremacy'. Very soon men will unite not for the great and little vulgar not for those Lcursed with moral perversion end intellectual blindness; but for men of broad, brilliant and sound views. Very soon a sufficient number will be found in our nation who will appreciate the productions of genius. Mr. Livingston is a statesman. How much is comprehended in this term ! In a statesman there must lie at the foundation as it were a lively sympathy in the affiairs of mankind a warm zeal for the interests of truth and justice, without the guidance of which the highest men tal endowments when applied to political re searches are in perpetual danger of losing their way. Under our form of government at least, the motto of that man who would be a states man, must be, that " knowledge is power," and he must possess a capacity to perceive those splendid proofs that are multiplying before him, of its benignant influence. His mind must regard the discoveries of the past and present age with reference to the great purpose of im proving the condition the faculties and the nature of man. If you will examine the works of our beloved and immortal "Jefferson, you will see that these were his views during that long series of years which he spent in labour ing for his country. It is properly left to mere politicians to write pamphlets and engage in discussions of per sonal or immediate interest. To the states man belongs the nobler employment of writ ing and speaking upon great constitutional questions of national wrongs of the op pression of the people of dangers impending over the country and the constitution of the necessity of general education md ed, on all suDjects requiring high intellect ana nign cnar- acter. Upon most of these subjects Mr. Liv - ingston has either written o spoken, and that too, in a style vigorous and bold mellow and elegant free noble and sometimes glowing and lofty. it is now more than thirty-five years since v Lllngston was nrst engaged in politics. You will naturally inquire what his political principles really are : He has always main- tamed the capacity of the people to govern me liDerty ol sDeech and ol the press that ours is a government of laws, not ui n:cii -yuOBCftSUlir OrOfir. mp hnri nnri rtn an'ftancv to a surprising degree ; that property- LIBERTY. ...THE CONSTITUTION....

I have heard Mr. Livingston on the floor of the Senate. His figure the mildness of his countenance -the graeiousness of his manner the dignity of his presence prepossessed me strongly in his favor. He possessed, as a debater, one striking peculiarity. He never contemplated his subject as a mere party man. His eye took in the whole bearing of any dif ficult problem of legislation ; and; Ids mind pursued it through its remotest ramifications. He did not confine his views to the ambition of triumphing in that individual debate, nor did he consider the subject he was discussing ns a text flh which he might display his own dexte rity, or vex and harrass his, -political opponents. In his speeches his judgment and good sense were always superior to the brilliancy of his fancy. The Oiiicial habits of the Secretary arc al ready well-known. There never was a more ; prompt, efficient, and vigilant officer in the public service. In discharging the duties of his department, he enjoys to the full, all the benefits of his early acquaintance with the ope rations of the Government of that deep in terest which lie took in those questions of in ternal law, which were agitated and discussed in the first years of our national existence. If you talk to him of the rights of neutrals on the question of impressment of the claims of our merchants for spoliations committed by the French prior lo the convention of 1800 of the financial views of Hamilton of our treaties our navigation our commerce- of the right of the States of the powers of the General Government he is entirely at home, he speaks to you in strong idiomatic English he i as lucid as day-light. i In the domestic relations of life in thelitis not surprising, therefore, that the young midst of his family, no man is more amiable or Felix became a great solace, to her.

When one is associating with Mr. Living ston, he seems to be a sort of connecting link between those who haye left the stage of action, and who devoted their lives to four service, and the statemen of those latter days that he is bringing up the knowledge of past times of the Republic, in his own person, for the use of the present generation that he is a kind of Nes- tor 111 the .National Councils. 1 hat ins lacuities , . 1..-.! ,u jnav long oe preserved 10 mm, in uieir pi t:scni 3 1 . , state of activity and perfection, must be tne sincere wish of his country.

THE.FOUNDLIVG Founded on an incident in thetife of Maturin. BY MRS. EMMA G. EMBURY. " When I said a mother, "Methought you sawaserpent."-SaAKSPF.ARE.

To the heart of Ladv Iredale such a ouent. so tender, so fraught with woman's ht and holiest feelings, that Lord William consen- ted to her retaining it. It was entrusted to the care of Ladv Iredale's faithful attendant for the m.rhf nA.au- mnrrn,r having been found willincr to accompany them to England, thev prepared for their departure. WKa t i i 1 1 . .1 i r new jjuuy lieuaie, alter tne lapse 01 a iew months, found, herself quietly settled in a beau tiful villa, at a distance from the noise and bus le ot a populous city, she had full leisure to at tend to her young charge; and never had she experienced a pleasure eoual to that of watch ing the gradual developement of his phisical and mental powers. She had ncveP been a mother, and she felt, perhaps too keenly, that strong yearning after infantine love, 'which seems an inseparable part of woman's nature. The little Felix Martin (as she Mad fancifully called him) was a source of new delight to her. She had now lound something nobler than her birds and flowers, on which to bestow the over flow of her affections, and she was compara tively happy. Yet even for her "Life's flowers "But wreathed the cup of trembling." Young, rich, beautiful, talented in the highest degree, and united to a nobleman equal in rank, fortune, personal attractions, and mental en dowments, it would seem that her life micrht be as brilliant as a dream of fairy land. Alas ! those who are conversant with that strange mystery, the heart of woman, well know that) its most consuming griel is not revealed bv out- ward signs. Ti.eie is a hidden strength, an en-, during fortitude, in woman's character, which cnybles her to bear up firmly against misfor tunes : but she can oppose no resistance to the slow undermining of sapped affection. Lady iredale lved her husband with a degree of fer vor and purity which few men deserve, and certainly none can appreciate. Lord William was ten y ears her senior. His finger and more delicate feelings, like the impress upon coin, had become effaced, by close and continual contact with the passions and interests of his fellow men; and the calculating prudence of thirty could have but little sy mpathy with the romantic devotion of a young and enthusiastic female. It is true he was perfectly kind in his habits of daily intercourse: but such kindness is like the sunbeams in early spring, imparting just.-enough warmth to make us long impatient ly for a more genial ray; and while Lady Ire dale appreciated every attention which he bes towed on her, she yet pined for one word of af fection, one look of tenderness, as the traveller thirsts for a draught of clear water in the desert. commencement of my tale, when the scene oc- ciuieu wiiu.ii am now auuui iu ucsci lue. ivi a table in a splendid library was seated Lord William Iredale. Time had woven a few threads of silver among his thick brown locks, and had thrown a slight shadow on his brow : but his :n c. i: l va bUU a &"" immers jovc to pauu and ladies to look unon. Before him lav a num- 1 . ber of manuscripts, written in the clear Italian I hand' so characteristic of a refined and elegant woman. The perusal of these papers appear ed to have somewhat agitated him, for a tear slowly trickled down his cheek; but, mastering his emotion, he rung a, silver hand bell which stood near, and ordered a servant to send Mr. Felix Martin. In a few minutes appeared a tall, graceful boy, with a pale cheek, lofty brow, and burning eye, which are the invariable cha racteristics of genius are doomed to suffering. " Be seated, Felix," said Sir William. "I have much to say to you. I .was somewhat harsh to you yesterday; bit I had been much disturbed, and your pertinacious refusal to ac . T 1 nt mv nttr lrritatpu m r ctill rii nrp Kill thft ! rnt mv nffpr irritated me. still nmrp. Rut that is past." The'cheek of Felix redened as he advanced. Lord William proceeded "I have been examining the papers of the late Lady Iredale, (here his voice slightly quivered,) and I find that she desires you may he put in posses sion of the Manuscripts contained in this casket after I shall have perused them. I have done so, and they are now yours" Felix took the casket in silence. "I find also," continued Lord William, " that shehas bequeathed to you all the property which she ha'd a right to alie nate, namely, the sum of two thousand pounds, which she desired might be placed in the hands of a trusty agent, to be applied to your further education. It was my intention to place you in a counting room; but your opposition, and the wishes of Lady Iredale, have determined me to act otherwise. I have already" taken measures for y our entering Cambridge at the next term, but let me at the same time inform you that the sum just specified is all you will ever receive from me. i You know too, I pre- 1 . 1 -t-' siime, that m the course ot a few days a new mistress will preside oyer this household ; and a3 your known attachment to the late" -Sir William's voice absolutely forsook him. Cold and selfish as he was, he still had some heart; J and bitterly did it-smite him, as Felix, bursting into an agony of. tears, exclaimed "I under stand I will go, sir." ! " This interview is painful to both of us," re sumed Sir Wrilliam. "In the casket you will find a purse, containing more than sufficient to pay your expenses. My lawyer resides in Cam bridge, and is now about returning thither: you will remain with him until the term commen ces. Farewell: I shall expect occasionally to hear of your welfare and improvement. Felix left the presence of Sir William only to give vent to his suffocating emotions. Pain fi w this cold dismissal from the house which had so long sheltered him, it wasl NO. 791, nothing compared with the agony which he felt at the idea that a stranger was about to usurp the name and place of'her'whoni his soul wor shipped. To Sir William's worldly and calculating mind Felix was a perfect paradox, and after a few vain attempts to fathom the mystery of his character, he looked upon it as a thing not worth studying. He little knew what untold treasures of intellect, what rich stores of know ledge, were hidden in the depths of that dark spirit. He little knew what pure and holy and gentle feelings were garnered up in that way ward heart. Felix had been brought up under the eye of a tender, susceptible, and neglected woman. His feelings had been developed be fore his judgment had acquired strength, and his benefactress had unconsciously engrafted the shrinking sensitiveness of woman upon thg ardent and passionate character of man. His love was as tender, as devoted as woman's his hate as deep, as intense as man's, The first had been given in all itspfervor to Lady Iredale the second burned with nil its violence against Lord William. . .Felix entered cqllege at the appointed lime., and the idea that he was fulfilling the last wish es of his benefactress stimulated him to cxer tion. Her papers, which he had read again arid again, were merely transcripts of her own pri vate feelings, calculated to give the highest idea of her purity of character, and painting but too faithfully the gradual desolation of a lbnd and faithful heart. Estranging himself from socie ty, Felix devoted himself to study with unshack led diligence, and at the exniration of twn var found himself a candidate for the highest ho- nurs i mtr vouege. j.us success xiaa Deen at tended by its usual concomitant, envy, and he had more than once been stung to the soul with . taunts of his obscure birth. On the night prex ceding the examination he. had been called a "base born foundling, educated by charity."-? He heard of it, and his lips grew pale with pas sion as he clenched his hand and cursed the hour which gave him birth. He was examined received publicly the highest honors was complimented on his success by the noblest of the assembled throng and returned to his room to weep over his late condition, and to quit the university for ever; The next dayr jaw him on his road to London. - , His first visit in London was to the banker who had supplied him with funds. The house was closed, and he was told that the banker had stopped payment, and absconded "with all the monies entrusted to him. This was an overwhelming blow. Too proud to apply to Lord William, he had only the prospect of ut ter degradation and misery before him; but his spirit seemed to rise with the downfall of his fortunes. He repaired to a bookseller, whom he knew his benefactress had highly respected. "I come," said he, "for employment. I am . r . 1 11 ti- , . poor and unfriended I have no claim even to the name I bear but I have talents and indus " try you want a proof reader for your magazine and I can satisfy you." The bookseller was himself a man of talent, and the bold frankness of the application pleased him. He inquired into the particulars of his history, and employ ed him: but what employment for genius! to chain down the mind to the mere poring over words and phrases, when it possessed capabili ies which could bear it up to the very gates of Heaven; Felix suffered all that an aspiring mind could do in such circumstances, and, more than all. the mystery of his birth weighed down his spi rit with a load of unutterable mortification and sorrow. He knew that he was the child of no ble parents, but he also knew, or thought he knew, that he was the offspring of dishonor ; and when in his loneliness he pined for the affection, and longed to look upon the face, of one with whom he might claim kindred, Ihe yet felt that he jrould rather remain unfriended, unconnected, during the whole of his miserable life, than behold those parents who had been compelled to blush for the very existence of their child. Of his mother he thought with, unmingled bitterne&s. He had been -nurtured by the tenderness of Lady Iredale she had given him to drink of the sweet waters of wo man's holy affection and when he contrasted her purity and gentleness with his ideas of the mother who had voluntarily east from her hen- new born babe, his heart sickened with disgust. 10 ins niouier, 100, necouia not avcia ascri bing the "hardships and mortifications which he now experienced, lie felt that-had the goods of fortune been allotted to h'un in the same proportion with the gifts of intellect, his power over the minds of men would have been illimi table; and he dwelt upon these thoughts until his mother became the object of his most intense-hatred. It would be painful to follow all tho steps of his humble fortunes. The struggles of genius with the world are like the vain efforts ot the tiger, in the deadly embrace of the boaevery exertion to get. free only serves to tighten tile coil which is pressing it to death. A small pic ture to which was attached a copy .of verses, had been presented by Felix to the little daugh ter of his employer, whom he occasionally caw as she visited her father on her way to schooL The child delighted with the gift, displayed it with much pride to her family, and obtained permission to place it in the drawing room. It had been there but a few days when it attrac ted the notice of a celebrated traveller who hap pened to be visiting at the house. The exqui site flush of the pieture, and trie- extreme beau ty 01 the verses, exeited his intefestfor, the ar tist, and to his great amazement he found him occupying the humble station of proof reajer to a magazine. The gentleman. was not one to be satisfied with simply admiring genius. He visited Felix in -his lowly habitation found his narrow chambers crowded with as rare treasures of art as that which had first attracted his notice, and from that hour Felix became his peculiar charge. By means of this onc7 pected friend, his productions were introu to the world, the name of his benefactor w 4 4 1 'ti i " 1 ! -r.
