He iiever appears to have given his whole mind to the practice of debating ; he had a very scanty provision of political informaton ; his time was always occupied with the laborious pursuits of his profession I; he came into the House of Commons, where he stood among several equals, and be hind some superiors from a stage where he shone alone, and without- a tival; above all, he was accustomed to address them by the compulsion of his retainer, not,as a volunteer coming forward in his own person a position from which the transitionis violent and extreme, to that of having to gain and to keep a ptomisr cuous and, in great part, hostile audience, not under any obligation to listen one in stant beyond the time during which the speaker can flatter, or. iflterest, or amuse theirt. Earlier practice and more devo tion to the pursuit, would doubtless have vanquished all these disadvantages; but they sufficed to keep Mr. Erskine al ways in a station beneath his talents, as Jong as he remained in the House of Com mons. :. ''".' . ' : . : "j J- It is to the Forum, and not the Senate, that we must hasten, if we ,wouid witness the "oronam multiplicem, judicium erec tum, crebas, assersiones, multas admira tion es, risum cum velit, cum velit fletum, in Scena Roscium;" in fino, if wc should see this great man in his element and in his glory. . Nor let it be deemed trivial, or beneath the historian's province, to mark that noble figure, -every look of jwhose cbuntenance is expressive, ev,ery motion of whose form graceful ; an eye that spar kles and pierces, and almost assures ; viq loryovhile.it "speaks - audience ere f the tongue." Juries have declared that they, felt it impossible to remove their; looks" from him when he had riveted atu!, as it werr, fascinated them by his first glance ; and it used to be a common remark of men who observed his motions, that they resembled those of a blood-horse ; as light,- as limber, as much betokening strength and speed, as free from all gross super : fluity or incumbrance. Then hear his voice of surpassing sweetness, clear, flexi- ble, strong, exquisitely nitea to strains o serious earnestness, ciehcient in compass, indeed, and much less fitted, to express ndignation or even scorn than pathos, but wholly free from either harshness or monotony. All these, however, ahd.even his chaste, dignihed and appropriate ac- tton, were very -small parts ot tqis vyon derful advocate's excellence. He had a thorouo;rt knowledge of men of their passions and their feelings he knew every avenue to tne neart, anq couia at will make all its chords vibrate to his touch. His fancy, though never plavul in public, Vhere he had his whole facul ties under the most severe control, tofts' lively ana brilliant; wnen negave u vent and scope, it was eminently sportive ; but while represenltps his client, it was whol- iv subservient to that in which his, whole. oul was wrapped up, and tu'hicfch faculty of body and of mind ftrasutk fed, the success of the cause. His ar jpn- tative powers were of the highest drtfer ; clear in his statements, close in his appli cations, unwearied and never to be'divert- ed in his deductions ; with a quick and sure perception of his pomt, and unfl-iat- ing in the pursuit of whatever p-' ih- ed it; and endued with a . nfjl)J 71- meht ot the relative lrnf tanC .d weight of difTerent a rguments, a nd fa culty of assigningto each iis pfoper.pMce, so. as to bring forward the main -f??" the reasoning in bold relief, and Tfi v XII L u . .w. ..-. lull ureauuifc , uu.nuiu.aKru rm .... - . . . . . mm distracting and disturbing the attenltw the audience among lesser particulars. His understanding was eminently-legal ; thoush he had never made himself a great lawyer, yet could he conduct a pure ly legal argument with the most perleci success: and his familiarity with all the" ordinary matters of his profession was, abundantly sufficient for the purposes of the forum. His ! memory was accurate! and retentive. in ah extraordinary degree ; nor did he ever, during the trial of a cause; forget any matter, how trifling soever, that belonged to it. His presence of mind was perfect in action, that is, before the jury, when a line is to be taken upon the instant, and a question risked to "a wit1 ness,v or a topic chosen with the tribunal; on which the whole fate of the cause may turn. No man made fewer mistakes none left so few advantages unimproved ; l03. none was It S.i danrrprnn fnr Jin adversary) to slumber ana be rflfhis guard: for he wasevero.idr-:wake himself, and was as adventurous as . he wis tkilful: and as apt to take advantage of any the least opening, as he was cautious to leave' none in his own battle. But to all these qualities, he joined that fire, that spirit, that courage, whu-h gave vigour and direction to the whole, and bore own all resistance. No man; with all his address and prudence, ever adventured upon more bold fi2ures,;'and they we r uniformly successful ; for hii imagination was vigorous eough to sus tain any flight ; . his taste was correct, and even severe, and hs execution felicitous in the' Highest degree. -Without much laminar Knowledge of even the the Latin c ! 1 r , . w . . i classics, with hardly any access to the beauties of the Attic elequence, whether in prose or verse; with no skill- in mo uei u languages, 111s acquaintance with the 1 . 1 ' ; . . , . -"'p1 - " .uiijjur nds yn bo perieci, ana his taste so exquisite, that nothing could exceed the beauty; of his diction, whatever .siiDject he attempted; whether diacours-. ing on the most humble topics, of the most ordinary case in court or in society, or' defending men Tor their lives, under the persecution of tyrannical power, wrest ling against the usurpations of Parlia ment in favour of the liberty of the press, and upholding against the assaults of the infidel the fabric of revealed religion. -Indeed th 3 beauty, as well 'as chaste sim plicity, of 1. he language in which he would clothe the most lowly subjects reminded the classical scholar of some narratives in the Odyssey, where there is not one idea that rises bove the meanest level, and yet all is made graceful and elegant by the magic of the diction. Aware that his classical acquirements were so slen der, men oftentimes marvelled at the phe nomenon j of his eloquence, above all; of his composition. The solution of the difficulty fay in the constant reading of the old English authors to which he de voted, himself: Shakspeare he was more familiar with than almost any man of his age; and Milton he nearly had by heart Nor can it be denied lhat the study of the speeches in ' Paradise -Lost," is as pTood a substitute as can be found for the i - - 'immortal originals in the Greek models. upon which those great productions have manifestly bet en iormed. Such was his oratory ; but pratbry is t t - 1 only the half, and the lesser ha 1 01 the Nisi Prills advocate ; and Mr. Erskine never was known to fail in ihe more im partanl moiety of the part he had to sus tain. The entire devotion to his cause which made him reject eveiy thing that did not help it forward; and indignantly scorn all temptations to sacrifice its small est point for any rhetorical triumph, ..was not the only virtue of his advocacy. II is judgment was quick, sound, and sure, up on each successive step to be taken; his decision bold, but cautious and enlighten ed, at each turn. His speaking was hard ly more perfect than his examination of witnesses, the art in which so much of an English advocate's skill is shown;, and his examination in chief was as excellent as his cross examination ; a department so apt to deceive the vulgar,' and which yet is,, generally speaking, far less availa ble, as it hardly ever is more difficult than the examination-in chief, or in reply. In all these various functions, whether of addressing the jury, or urging objections to the court, or examining his own wit nesses, or cross-examining his adversa ry's, this consummate advocate appeared to fill at one and the same time difTerent chaiacters; to act as the counsel and re presentative of the party, and yet to be the very party himself; while he ad dressed "the tribunal, to be also acquainted with every feeling and thought of the judge or the jury; while he interrogated the witness, whether to draw from' him all he knew and in the most favourable shape, or to shake and displace, all he had said that was "adverse, he appeared to have entered into the mind of the person he was dealing with, and to be familiar with all that was passing within it. It is by such means that the hearer is to be moved, and the truth ascertained ; and he will ever be the most successful advocate who can approach the nearest to this lofty and difficult position. The speeches of this great man are tl nrrsprvprl to us with a Ciire and correct- Jn-se whir h thne onlv of Mr. Burk e Mr. 1 1 1 r i i ilii l i i i j v i i i v - - - w . 1 Windham Mr Hnnnin?. and Lord UuO- f" - kf , e mon; a, lhe orators of whom this work treats, can boast, He had a fifilltir r.f cnmnfXltifin: he WTOte great both much and correctly. The five volumes which remain were all revised by him self; most of them at the several times of their first publication. Mr. Wind ham, too, is known to have left most of his speeches written out correctly in his own hand. The same care was bestowed upon their speeches by the others just named. Neither those of Mr. Fox or Mr. Pitt,, nor with one or two exceptions. of Mr. bDenaan. 1 l An h a o n uo r ti rtcc ever and a enjovea tne same tvj-..,Mfe , most' unfair estimate vould there fore be formed of their eloquence, as com pared with that of others, were men oniy to build their judgment upon the records which the Parliamentary Debates present. Of Mr. Erskine'3 the first, beyond all doubt,: was his speech lor Stockdaler fool- ishly and oppressively prosecuted by the 1784, she lest his voice;on the evening be House of Commons, . for publishing the - fore he was to addresi the Jury. It re Reverend Mr. Loonn's eloquent tract un-'! iurntd to him iu'sl in 'lime, and this, like on Hastings s impeachment. There are no finer things in modern, and ft-v finer in ancieht eloquence than the celebrated TT" . . i. . passage of the Indian Chief; nor has beautiful lauguage ever been used with morecuriops felicity to raise a striking and an appropriate image before the mind, than in the simile pf the winds 'lashing before them the lazy elements, which without the tempest would stag naKe into pestilencei" ; The speeches on Constructive Treason are also noble per formances ; in which the reader never can forget the sublimity of the denunciation against those who took from the "fil the o j sentence against Sidnev. iwhu-h should have been left on record to it minht arise and blacken ail ages, that in the sight, like the hand writinor nn the wnll hefure the Eastern tyraht. to deter from ouiraoes upon justice. One. or twoof tne speeches upon Seduction, especially that lor the aeienaant in Howard s Vingham, are ol , exquisite beauty. lt remains that we commemorate 'the j deeds which he did, and which cast the .! fame of his oratory into the sh.ide. He was an undaunted man ; he was an nn daunted advocate. To no Court did he eer truckle, neither to the Court of the King, neither to the Court of .the King's Judges. Their smiles and their frowns he disregarded alike in the fearless dis ifharge of his duty. He upheld the liber ty of the press against the one; he de-" fended the rights of the people against both combined to destiny them. Ifthere be yet amongst us the po.wer of freely discussing the acts of our rulers ; if there be yet the privilege of meeting for the pro ,mjtion of needful reforms : if he who de sires wholesome changes in our Consti tution be still recognized as a -patriot, and not doomed to die the death of a traitor ; let us acknowledge with gratitude that to this great man, under Heaven, we owe this felicity of the times. I In. 1794, Jiis dauntless energy, his. indomitable cou rage, kindling his eloquence, inspiring his conduct, giving direction. and lending firmness to his matchless i skill, resisted the combination of statesmen, and princes, and lawyers the league of cruelty and craft, formed id destroy jour 1 iberties and triumphantly scattered to the winds the halNaccomplished scheme of on unspar ing proscription. Before such a precious service as this, well may the lustre of Statesmen and of orators grow pale; and yet this was the achievement of one only not the first orator of his age, and not among its foremost 'statesmen, because he was beyond all comparison the most ac cpmplished advocate, and the most elo quent, that modern times have product d. The disposition and manners of the man were hardly less; attractive than his genius and his prbfessional skill were admirable. He was, like almost all great men, simple, natural, j and amiable; full of humane feelings arid kindly affections. Of wil, he had little ornone in conversa tion; and he was too gay to.take any de light in discussion; but his humor was playful to buoyancy, and wild even to extravagance; and he-indulged his roam ing and devious arid abrupt imagination as" much in society, as in public he kept it under rigorous control. That his private oharacter was exempt from fail ings can in no wise be. affirmed. The egotism which was charged upon his conversation, and in which he only seem ed to adopt the habit of the forensic lead ers of his times, was wholly unmixed with any thing ofTeiliive to others; though it rniht excite a smile at his own ex pense. Far from seeking to raise him self by their depression, his vanity was of the best natu red and least selfish kind; it was wholly sociaHand ': tolerant ; and. as it were, gregarious ; nay, he always seemed to extol the deeds of others .with fullv more enthusiasm; than He ever dis played in recounting hisovvn. But there were darker places to be marked, in the extreme imprudence with which some indulgences were, sought, and unfortunate connexions, even late in life, formed. Lord Kenyon, who admired and loved him fervently, and used always to appear as vain of him as a schoolmaster of his favourite pupil, though himself rigorous to the noirit of ascetism, was wont to cal. these imperfection?, viewing them tole rantlv, "spots in the sun;" and it must with "sorrow be added, thai as the lustre of the luminary became dim. the spots did not contract in their dimensions. The usual course on such. occasions is to say, Taccamus de his. but History net tber asferts her greatest privilege, nor dis charges her higher duties, w-hen, dazzlfd bv brilliant genius, .or astonished bv splendid triumphs, or even softened by' amiable qualities, she abstains from mark in those defects which So often degrade the most sterling worth, and which the talents .and the affections that they accom pany may sometimes seduce men to imitate. ; . . The striking and imposing appearance of this great Tnons person has been men tioned. His Herculean strength of con stitution may also be noted: j During the eiffht-and-twenty years that he practised at the bar, he never was prevented for one hour from attending to his profession al duties.

DEFERRED ARTICLES. William M. Price in Paris. A friend, recently from the French capital, informs us that that bright- particular star of locofocoism, William M. Price, Esq , is shining with dazzling though borrowed lustre, in the gay saloons of the gayest ci? ty in the world. He has lately purchas ed, for a summer retreat, a beautiful villa ; and grounds, about six tniles frortuJiris, j while he occupies, as his towt jldence. at an exorbitant rent-SDlensri OSfctel in the most fishionabl eWrjlitaii loc hamvs Elrwf the grand meHlitait locale of t;ie prench ariMocracy.

On- y think; ye sor.s of St. Tammany, of your "democratic" steiitor beino- domiciled in the quartier of the French noblesse and being called 'milord' by all the sans culot' lcso Piiris. Why, the universal form of locofocoism ought to: tingle with sympa thizing rapture at the munificent manner, in which its distinguished representative i supporting the dignity of the family! V hose splendid mansion is thai? Milord ihe locofoco's ' Whose elegant carriages and rich liveries are those 1 Milord the loeofeco 's. Mon Dieu! but what is n locd- focb? Then will come the explanation of all the peculiar privileges and facilities enjoyed by the official members of the tribe, and so shall proselytes be added thereto, and the cause gain ground among all wholoye "the largest liberty." . N Y Timh ' . Less than half a year ago Mr. Price was flourishing away at the Springs. Two cottages had been erected connected with, ahd in the rear of the United States Hotel. One of these was built for Mr. Price, and the other for Swartwout. The latter was absent, but Price was in his glory. There were those, however, even thus early, distrusted them. On one oc casion we ha ve the.story from Col. Hise, formerly from Kentucky, but now of Lou- isiana at a dinner -party, tne .conversa tioij turned upon the subject of govern ment defaulters and loco motive sub treas urers, Mr. Price talked very patriotical ly against them, and was so peculiarly earnest that Col. Hise broke forth with the exclamation "Til bet you a bottle 6j wine that you will be a defaulter and rtm away yourself t before the 1st of January." Some of the company laughed at the re marks as'mere badinage. Price looked rather blank, and affected, displeasure- at the imputation, and wished the remark re tracted. . But Colonel llise persisted in the prediction, and they parted. Scarcely two months had passed, before the abscon ding of the one' made a prophet of the other, i Ar. Y. Com. THE BANK OF AMERICA AND. MR. WOOD- ;! BURY. It is confidently stated that in the month OfMay or June, the Bank of Amer ica agreed, to purchase of Mr. Woodbury at par $1 200,000 in Treasury Notes. It is further said that the. Bank engaged to retain the r.otes in their possession un til they arrived at maturity ; but of this nothing! can be known with certainty. If this be so, the only inducement could have been the consent of Mr. Woodbury to such a share as would4 make the ope ration an "object" for the Bank. , It is f urther known that notes issued by the Treasury Department directly to thej Cashier of the Bank of America havei been offered for sale, & havsold in Wall street : and that the Bnk of America has recently borrowed $100,000 of ; the Sav ing's Bank on these notes. Thus the Government finaVit very .convenient and very necessary.-to go upon thecredit sys tem, and to to enter into a competition with the merchants for the blinking "facil ities". which it is wpnt to denounce. In the Court of General Sessions at N. York, on Monday, Samuel R. Wood was arraigned on three several indictments!! found against him charging him with per-! jury, in - false entries on importation of goods made by him at the Custom House.; Mr. Hainht, Counsel for the prison er, appeared and pleaded not guilty to each ot the indictments. The trial cf the causes was set down for the 18th of September next. Tlje ju rors were then discharged for the lerm. and the Court then adjourned. The Saratoga Sentinel of Wednesday says "The number ot stran2ers now ... the village is not h-ss . than 2500 or 30001 Everv house is nnea ; , ,uVu, the constant departures, it wouia oe im-j possible to find lodgings for the hundreds; who a rri ve d xity.
