IT is curious to remark how much the idea oi exclufiori enters into all our plans of enjoyment. Alexander the Gnat refufedto (hare the fovereignty of the world with Darius, and CVefar preferred being the iiril man in a country village, to being the fecond in Rome. This fpirit keeps the gay and frivolous world in continu¬ al agitation by daily changing the faihion. To be the fir ft to introduce a new color for a gown or petticoat—a new manner of making them up, and to have the advantage of wearing them a tew days before any other per few* can pro¬ cure clem, is to many a fair lady a triumph of the molt pre- cio^s kind.

Whatever may be the ultimate tfTtCi. ofthe embargo policy upon the permanent irtterells of the ITnitec) States, it is generally admit¬ ted to have been beneficial to Canada ; as it fent a portion oi the American commerce a- crols the bke and river, to the Brhifh fide, formed habits of uling our grtat outlet for the pirrpofe of exports and imports, gave a fpring to bufimfs here and promoted a fpirit of entcrprize, which, if rightly directed and applied, will be ufeful and falutary to this country. any of his brother beaux can poffibly obtain them, ipoxiks one moment I .fhou'tdhavegi-venpain to a man of it a, of a piece of good fortune which few men can reafon- of his tendernefs of heart and delicacy ofjeehaig I «'«b:y expect. Now it is the cxclufive poffefdon which con- {litutes the gnat pleafure on th-fe oecafions ; for as foon as numbers imitate the leader of the mode, the pleafure ceafes, and a &c£b attempt at novelty mull be made before it can be renewed. Were this exclufion confined merely to the fiifhions it might be fullered and dtipifed, becaufe it could do little harm ; but it produces endlefs contentions in fociety ; and being almolt always at variance with reafon and virtue, it becomes a fruitful fource of mifery and crime. Even nations inftead of contenting themfclvcs with the lilent p<nTeffion of the moil valuable privileges, do not think that tlry enjoy them if they arc not continually lemiuding their neigKbors of their inferiority. They boafl of their political iiiiiitutions, their more correc"l habits and manners, their greater genius, learning and freedom. Thefe boaRings en¬ gender irritations which at length grow up into fettled en-~ mity and frequent wars. In religion too this fpii it of ex- cluiion prevails in a moil remarkable degree. The Turk thinks it impofliblc for any to enter Paiaxlife who is not a follower of Mahomet; and confidering the reil of mankind onteafta from Heaven, he is not difpofed to do them any kindm:fi. On the contrary he treats the Christians wiih the molt fpvereign contempt, calls them dogs and obliges them to fubmit to the moil degrading humiliations. Even among Chiiil:';iiis who profefs a religion which fpeaks harmony and peace ; a religion whole fpirit is brotherly love ; the differ¬ ent denominations treat each other with as much contempt as the Turk*;. Animated by that zeal which diftinguiflu'd the Jews, they do not hehtate to condemn one another to . eternal miiGry.

The lame Ipi'iii. of exclufion is notorious in political fac¬ tions : Has one party power, they delight to ufc it in de- prelung their opponents ; and in their hands power becomes valuable not becauie it enables them to do gfcod, to pro¬ mote the profperity and happlnefs of the nation and the (la¬ bility of the government ; but becauie it enables them to revenge themfelves upon their political adverfau'es. The members of the conquered factum complain moll bitterly, and they have reafon to complain, for they are treated in the moil: unjufl and cruel manner. Should affairs take a turn, and the party now deprefifed obtain the fuperiority, no change for ;Ik better would take place, for they would mcafure out the lame, or a greater portion pi cruelty than they had ex¬ perienced. The fame exclulive fpirit influences clubs and fmall locieties of men who become attached to one another in inch a way as to lit reafon and religion at defiance.

Pope. In the political as well as natural world, experiment is to be preferred to theory. The administration of a government, its practical operation, is the true tell of its merit. On this ground Eng¬ lishmen value their constitution, which has grown out of the experience of ages. Even citizens of the United States, who are mak- ing an experiment of reprefema'ive democra¬ cy, under the moft favorable circumttancesy admit the Englffh government to be better than any other, except their own ; and many of them give it the preference, without that exception./ The characierillfc evil of their democratic fyltcm is its tendency to fofteran uncontrolable fpirit of paity.
