EAIRCHIUD. thft* GEOHGE IV. We have expressed, in very striking erms, our disrespect for the character of he late English King, George IV. To ubstantiate the -opinion then expressed, nd to furnish a lesson to the friends^Afj ee institutions, we pow present a brief ketch of his career. The first exploit recorded of him, is his ebellioti aguinst-his private tutor, Arnold, whiifh the rod that himself deserved, jjjsfls broken on\he shoulder of his master. At'tb^ age of eighteen, he appears be- bre the wot Id in the character of a seducer, nd paramour to Mrs. Robinson, a beautiful voman who had left her husband for the tage. The negotiators for the princely dultery were Lord Maiden and Charles ames Fox. To this early developement fhis sensuality he added very soon as triking an exhibition of his selfishness, by 'everting Mrs. R. without any provocation, mder circumstances most brutally insulting, nd without making any provisions for her uturo support. A small stipend was sub- icquently wrung firom him for her, but was lever regularly paid. From the\ arms of Mrs-^obinson he fled a the embraces of his second mistress, Mrs. itzherburf, to whom he united himself by a-mock wedding, for as she was a Roman , the laws of England made the marriage void. But not satisfied with a sin- gle connexion of this sort, he next added .ady Jersey to bis harem, and while livijg n this double,crime, oppressed with debts ncurred by folly and wickedness, for the ;ak£ of pecuniary relief, he agreed to mar- y^whomsoever his father might propose, and to crown his guilt, sent Lady Jersey to >e tbe companion of bis future wife, retain- ed her in his frimily after the marriage, forc- llie queen to sit at tbe same table, and nUiued Mr8. Filzherbert also in a splen- ded establishment. Tbe'persecution which he carried on for /ears against Queen Caroline, their sep- -iruiion, tbe efforts made by him to ruin her, repuU^ion, and produce a divorce which tiust hiive cost her headyand his utter fail- ure in-fiis 1 long drawn scheme- of villany, •ire well known. * The falsho«d which he ' upon his honor' palmed on Fox as truth, and which that rent orator proclaimed as (rue in the house f Commons, <o secure a grant of money or the Princ-c [we mean his denial of a mar- iaee with Filzherbert] is equally known. The treacherous atid'hard hearted man- ner in which he deserted his most true and aithful friejid, Sheridan, leaving him to poverty |nd,..starvation ; his tardy charity, hat came^when death had rendered need- ess, and hie emply show of sorrow for the death of him wl.o m he liaa abandoned, are matters ot history, ond tho fiery pen of po- etry has made for them an imperishable ecord. His treachery was not confined to She- idan ; it extended to the whole Whig party, whose professed leader he had been, so long as his father was 8ble to govern England, nd he needed <>iheir aid to procure money Vom the Commons, but whom he instantly de6eited when ho became Regent,, He could even descend to the tricks of \ black-leg'' to re-fill liis purse. Hit knavery on the race ground, and di^grace- ul expulsion from the Jockey Club, though slurred over by hi* gentle biographer, Croly, are not to be forgotten in estimating bis character. The gross indecency of the conversation carried on at bistable, in the latter part of lis life, is little less disgusting than the unbounded intemperance of his earlier ban- quets. If he was ever guilty of a good action, that action has yet to b&n&med ; if he pos- sessed any recommendation greater than gracefulness of manners, it has yet to be revealed. His favourite amusements were horse-racing, boxing, gambling, intemper- ance, prostitution, end extravagant display of dress and equipage. His highest intel- lectual effort was a pun : his only humane actions the sending £1000 of the public money to dhe starving Spitalfield weavers, and refusing lo patronize the sports of the ring, after having seen one man bruised to death by his antagonist. Many a king of England, having more intellectual power and moral energy; has occasibned'greater mischief to his people; but none ever sat on the throne more nearly allied to the brute in his appetites and hab- its, or more disposed t? sacrifice all to pelf.

Y. Com. Adv. SCENES OF SAVAGE LIFE. The extract which follows, pictures veDts witnessed by Mr. Hearne on his ex- loring tour on the Coppermine river, when, ear the Arctic Ocean. We take it, says he New-York Atlas, from the recent pub- ication, \Progress of Discovery on the more northern coast of Ameiica.\ \Scarcely had Hearne congratulated him- ielf on reaching tbe great object of his mis- ion, unpacked bis surveying instruments, nd prepared to follow ,its progress to the great Arctic Ocean, when one of those dark nd terrible acenes occurred which are strik- ngly characteristic of savage life. As soon as Motonabbee and his party gtiined the !)ank of tbe river, three spies were sent out o discover whether any Esquimaux were n the neighborhood. After a short ab- ;ence they returned with intelligence that hey had seen five tents, about twelve miles distant on the west side of the river. All now was warlike preparation; the guns, knives and spears were carefully examined; and as they learned that the natureofth'e round would render it easy to advance un- perceived, it was determined to steal upon heir victimes in this manner, and put them o death. This plan was executed with savage -exactness; and nothing could pre- sent a more dreadful view of human nature n its unenlightened state than the perfect unanimity of purpose which pervaded the whole body of Indians upon this horrid oc- casion, although at other times tjgey were fi no respect amenable to discipline. _ Each roan first painted his target, some .\ilh the representation of the sun, others >f the moon, and several with '.he pictures >f birds and beasts of prey or of imaginary beings, which ihey aflirmed to be the inhab- lauls of the elementsupon whose assistance hey relied for success in their enterprize They then moved wilh the utmost stealth n the direction of lh<\ tents, taking care not o cross aliy of the hills which concealed heir approach-. It was a miserable circum- stance that these poor creatures had taken in their abode in such grounrl that their enemies, without being observed, lo in ambuscade not two hundred yards dis- unt, & lay for some time watching tbe mo- ion of the Esquimaux, as if marking their victims. Here the last preparations for the Itack werc-mado, the Indians tied up their orog black hair, lest it should be blown into heir eyes ; painted their faces blacfi and red, ivhich gave them a hideous aspect; delib- erate i y tucked up the sleeves of their jack- ets close under their armpits; and pulled off heir stockiiigi, while some, still eager to ender themselves more light for ranging, brew ofTtheir jackets, and stood with their .veapons in their hands quite naked, except heir breech cloths and shoes. By the time nil were ready, it was near one olclock in he morning ; when finding the Esquimaux quiet, they rushed from their concealment, an instant Voused by the shout of the savages, the unfortunate wretches, men, women and children, ran naked out of their tents, and attempted to escape ;,but the Itfdfans had surrounded them on tho land side, and as none dared to leap into the riv- et, all were murdered in cold blood, while Hearne, whom a regard for his own per- sonal safety bad been compelled (o accom- pany the party, stood a short way off root- ed to the ground in horror and agony.' Tbe shrieks and groans of (he poor expi- ring wretches, says he in his striking ac- count of this dreadful episode in savage life, were truly distressing, and my horror was much increased by seeing a young girl, about 18 years of age I killed so near roe that when the first spear was stuck in her side sSe fell down by my fe.et and twisted round my legs, so that it was with difficulty that I coulddisengngetrwself from her dying grasp. As two Itrdian men pursued this un- fortunate vietim,\!jojjeit£d_£ery hajjl for her life; but the murdefers Until they had stuck both their spears through her body, and transfixed her to the ground. They then looked me sternly in described: though 1 \summoned up all the fortitude I wM master of un the occasion, it was with 1 difficulty \ could refrain from tears; and I am confident that my features mu^t have feelingly expressed how sincerely I was affected by tbe barbarous scene I tbe» witnessed. Even at this hour Icannot re- flect on the (ransnetions of that horrid day without shedding tears/' From \The World, as it is,\ % m STROMBOLI. ,, This volcanic mountain Vises from the isl- and of the same name, and has long been celebrated for the violent eruptions which have issued from its crater. Stromboll is the principal of a cluster called the Lapari Islands, which lie to the north of Sicily, all of which.contain volca- noes. At a distance^ \U form uppers to be (that of an exact cone, but 0% a closer exam- ination, it is found to be a mountain having two summits of different heights, the sides of which, have been torn and shattered by craters. The most elevated summit accor- ding to Snollanzani, is about a mile in height. ' From the more elevated sumtfrij, aHtlic inner part of the burning crater' and the ruode-ofits eruption may be seen. It is placed about halfway upon the north-west careful search \could not be found. Mr. M. seeing bis dog silting in ( the corner, and looking as if quite unconscious of what was passing, said to him, \Dandie find us the shilling and you shall havn a biscuit.\— The dog immediately jumped upon the ta- ble and laid down tbe shilling, which he had previously picked up without having been perceived. One time having been,, left in a room in tbe house of Airs. Thornp-* son, High street, be remained quiet, for a considerable time ; but as no one opened the door, he became impatient and raneihe bell; and when the servant opened the door, she vewquite surprised to find the dog pulling the bell rope. Since;,fibat period, which was the first tirae he was observed to do it, he -pulls the bell whenever he is desired; and what appears siill more re- markable, if there is no bell rope in the room, be w,itl examine the table, and if he finds a hand bell he takes it in his mouth and rings it. Mr. AI. having one evening supped! with a friend, on his relrjrn home, as it was rath- er late, be found all the fi|mily in bed. He could not find his booj^ek in the place where it usually lay, nor_cp_yld he lind it any where in the roorn, after tho strictest search. He then 3aid to his dog, \Daildie I cannot fiud?my boot-jack—search lot it\ '\•Tin side of the rcountain, and has a diameter I faithful animal, quite sensible of what had the face and began to ridicule me by asking me if Iwanled an Esquimaux wife, while they paid not the slightest regard to the shriek sand agony of-the poor wretch, who was turning round theirjpear like an eel. Indeed, after receiving much abusive lan- guage on the occasion, I was at length ob- liged to desire that they woujd be niore expeditiousin despatching their\victim out of b« misery, otherwise I should be ob- liged out of pity to assist in the friendly office oif putting an end to the existence of a fellow creature who was so cruelly wounded. \On this request being made, one of (he Indians hastity^drew his spear from tbe plnce where it was first lodged, and pierced it thro* her breast near the heart. Theitoye ot life however, even in ibis most miserable state*, was\ so predominant, that though this rpight be justly called the most merci- ful act which could be done for the poor creature, it seemed to be unwelcome; for though much exhausted by p&in and loss of blood, she made several efforts to ward off the friendly>M.; : jjjy tfujaiiol a$ tlie terror ofwj? fliiHtfjt beliolclin^this butclie- ,ry'i ieairaotfc&jjfly be «p^<|«t^g..^Bj^.^sfcl < -..' - . . .

At the distance of 100 miles, tbe flames it emits, are visible, and it has therefore been denominnte-d the light-house of that part of the Mediterrane- an Sea. Burning stones are thrown up, at regular intervals of seven or eight minutes, ascending in somewhat diverging rays.— While a portion of them fjll fnto the sea, the greater portion of thorn are thrown back into the crater; und then being again cast out by a subsequent >eruptit>n, are thus tos- sed about until lht»y are broken and redu- ced lo ashes. The volcano, however, con- stantly supplies others, and seems inex- haustible in this species of productions.— Spollatizani affirms that in the more violent •eruption?, the ejected, matter ji<es to the height of a hnlf a mile, or even higher, ma- ny of the ignited stones being thrown above the highest summit of the mountain. Tho erupted stones which appear black in the dny time, h-ive at night a deep red color, and sparkle like fire works. Each explosion is accompanied by flames or smoke, the latter resembling clouasifttry tbe lower part black, in the upper, white and shining, and separating into globular anri irregular forms. In particularly high winds fiom the south or south-east, the smoke spreads over every part of the island. Spo'llanzani observed this volcano on a particular night, when A p la \ a \ ~ r *•---- -winds oiew witli grout violence. The clear sky exhibited the appearance of a beautiful aurora borealis over that part of the mount- ain where the volcano is shunted, and which, from time to time, became more red and brilliant, in proportion as the ignited stones were thrown to a greater height. The present crater has burned for more thtn acentury, without any apparent change having taken place in its situation. The iide from which tFie showers of ignited mat- er fall into the sea is almost perpendicu- ar, about half a mile broad at the-'bottom, acd a mile in breadth, terminating above n a point. In rolling down, the luva rais- es the fine sand like a cloud of dust.—• While Spollahzani was observing this, then volcano suddenly made an eruption. Nu- merous ^pieces of Java of a dark red color, and enveloped in smoke were ejected from the top of the precipice, and thrown high into the air. • A part of them fell on the detlivity, and rolled down, the smaller pse- ceeded by the greater, and after a few sec- onds, dashed into the sea, givingout a sharp hissing sound. The more minute frag- ments, from their lightness and tbe hind- rance of the sand, rolled slowly down, and striking against each other, produced near- ly tbe same sound as hail stone* falling on a roof. The eruptions, which wers almost innumerable during the time Spollanzani remained there, all exhibited the same ap- pearances, but increased or decreased in vi- olence, according to circumstances. Tbe detonations in the greater eruptions resem- bled the foaring of a distant thunder, but in the more moderate ones, the explosions of a,mine. Near the mouth of the volcano is a small cavern, a projection above which secures it from the sntraoce ofihe ignited stone*.—. From this cavern, SpoIlnnZani was able to look down into tbe very bowels nf the vol- cano. He describes the edges of the crater as of a circular form, and not more than 340 feet in4^ieter, the internal sides contrnc-' ting as they descend, and assuming tire shape of a truncated inverted cone. The crater itself, to a certain'height, is filled with a liquid red hot matter, resembling melted brass. This is the fluid lava wliioh appears to be agitated by two distinct mo- tions, the oife intestine, wbitling and Mi multuous, and the other, that by which it is been said to him,scratched ut the room door, which his master opened. Dandle procee- ded to a very distant part of the louse, and >-oon returned, carrying in, his mouth the boot-jack, which Mr. M. now necolltcted to have left ihut morning under a sofa. A number of gentlemen, well acquainted with Dandie,\ are daily in the habit of giv ing him a penny, which he tiikes to a ba- ker's shop, and purchases bread for»1jim; self. One of these gentlemen, \\ ho live\ in James Square, when passing sometime ago, was accosted by Daudie., in expectation of his usual present. JSlr. T. then said to him, \1 have not a penny with me to day, but I have one at home.\ Having returned to his house some time after, he heard a noise at tlie door, which was opened by the servant, when in sprang Dandie lo receive his penny. In a frolic, Mr. T. gave him a bad one, he, as usual, carried it to a baker, but was refused his bread, as his money was bad. He immediately returned to\Mr. T's, knocked at the door, aud when the servant opened it, laid the penny down at her feet, and walked eff seemingly wilh the greatest contempt Although Dundie in gen- eral makes an immediate purchase of btead with ihe money he receives,yet tbe follow- ing circumstance clearly demonstrates that he possesses more prudent foresight than ...<...j ..i.o aic leeKoned rational beings. One Sunday when it was verv unlikely tbat he could have received a present of money, Dandie was observed bringing home a loaf. Mr. AI. being somewhat surprised at this, desired the servant lo 'search the room to see if any money couW be found. VVhile she was engaged in this task, the dog seemed quite unconcered lill she ap- proached tlie bi'd, when he fan lo her, arwl gently drew her back from it. Mr. M. then secured die dog, wbich kept strug- gling, while the servant went under the bed, where she found seven-penee-half- pen- under a bit of cloth ; but from that time he could never endure the girl.nnd was fre- quently observed to hide-the money in the \corner of a saw-pit, under Ihe dust. When Mr. AI. has company, if he desiies the dog to see any of the gmt'emen home, it will walk with him till lio reach his home, and then\*relu'fti to his master, hpw great tosver the distance may be.
