The American Quarterly Review. which lias just been issued from the press at Philadelphia, fontuina an able auininaiy ot the i'reliminaiy oxeicn the French Revolution, prefixed by Walter Scott, to his fortliuoming Life of Napoleon Buonaparte.

The editor of the Retiew having been per milted, by the proprietors ul thut work, to select fur publication gome of its most interesting passages, we tune the opportunity to lay before our readers the account which a gifted and eloquent historian has' presented, ol ihe terrible attack of the populuce on the palace of Versailles, on the 5th of of October, which resulted in the for cible transfer of the royal family ton nominal residence in, but an actual imprisonment al, the Thuilleries in Paris. Wo regret that our limits will not permit us to publish the whole ul this sketch, as it is contained in the Review, and which is every way worthy of its distinguished author. The most material pans of it, however, are iven below, ami will frequently re hiinil the reader of a kindred description of a similar scene, by the same hand, in the admirable tale of the Heart of Mid Lothian. Afier speaking 'of the immediate raises of this terrible eruption, be goes on to state That of the October, 1789. was uf a singular description, the insurgents being chiefly of the female sex.

The market women, Dames aux llalles.HH they are called, half unsex ed by the masculine nature of their employments, and entirely so by the ferocity of their manners, had figured eMrly in the revolution. With these were allied and associated most of the worthless and barbarous of their own sex, such disgraceful specimens of humanity as serve but to show in what a degenerated state it may be found to tex it. Females of this description began to assemble early in the morning, in large groups with the cries fur which so easily roused a starving metropolis. There were observed amongst them many men disguised as women, and they compelled all the females they met to go along with them. They marched to the Hotel de Ville, broke boldly ilirough several squadron ol the National Ouard, who were drawn up in front of that building for its de fence, and were with difficul ty dissuad ed from burning the records it contain i d.

Tliev next seized a magazine of arms with three or lour pieces oican nun, and were joined by a miscellane us rabble, armed with pikes, scythes, md similar instruments, who inliei themselves the Conquerors of the Bat tile. I'lie still increasing multitude re echoed the rry of "Bread, bread! to Versailles! to Versailles!" The National Guurd were now call ed out in force, but speedily showed their office, that they were too infect ed wi'h the humour ol the times, and as much indisposed to subordination as the mob, to disperse which they were summoned. Lafayette nut himself at their head not to gite ins own, but to receive their orders. They refused to act against women who they said were starving, and in their turn de manded to be led to Versailles, to de throne such was their language 'the king, who was a driveller, and place the crown on the neaii ol his son." La fayette hesitated, implored, explained, but he bad as yet to learn the situation of a revolutionary, general. it not said ons of his soldiers, who seemed quite to understand the milt tary relation ot oiticer and private, on such sn occasion, "is it not strange mat latayette pretentis to command the people, when it i his part to re ceive order from Soon afterwards an order, arrived from the Assembly of the Commune of raris, enjoining the commandant's march, upon his own report that it was impossible to withstand the will of the He matched accordingly in good order, and at the head of a large lorce of the National Guard, about fouror five hoars after the departure of 1.

1 I ine uiuw, wuire ue wuiieu in a I i ui ui iiiuetntmiH wre aircauy lar on their way to Versailles. It does trot appear that the King, or his ministers, had any information of these hostile movemeots. Anssredly, there could not have been a royalist in ram. wiiiine to hazard a horse or a groum to carry. such iatelligence where the kaowledie of it must have been so important The.

leading members. of ui iivnuimj aMcqtuteq ui versaiiieSi were, oetter infanncd. "These iren tletneu" said Barbanuane, louking at the pari of Ihe hall wliere the clergy osal(y sat, tnore light they shall have may rely Mirbeir' wenl iehind the chair of MounTertte "Paris' 'is reVlucj he saiil. "I know hot. what yqa saill Mou "Believe me or not, all Paris is marching upon dissolve the sitting." "I never hurry the delibera tiunsj said Mounier.

"Their feign illness," said MiratxMU, "go to the pa lace, tell them what I say, and give me for authority. But there is not a minute to lose Paris marches upon as." So much the better," answered Mounier, "we wilt be a republic the sooner." Mounier aiust be supposed tit speak ironically, and in allusion, not to his own npioions, but to Mirabeau's revolutionary tenets. Another account of tliis singular conversation slates his answers to have been. "All ihe better. If the inb kill all of us remark.

I say all ol us. it will be the better for the country." It was now night and the armed rabble of both sexes showed no intention of departing or breaking up. On the contrary, they bivouacked, after their own upon the parade, where the soldiers usually mustered, There they kindled large fires, ate. drank, sang, caroused and occasionally discharged their firearms. Scuffles a rose ftoni time to time, one or two of the Gsrdcs de Corps had been killed snd wounded in the quarrel, which the rioters hnd.

endeavoured to fasten on litem; besides which this devoted curpt had sustained a volley from their late guests, the National Guard of Vers.iil les. The horse of a Ourde de Corps which fell into the hands of these female demons, wan killed, torn in pieces, and eaten half raw and half ronst ed. Every seemed tending to a general eugigement when late at night ihe drums announced the approach ol Laftiyeiteat the head of his civic ai my, which moved slowly, but in good order. A band of the rioters found means to penetrate into the palace about three in the morning, through a uate which was left unlocked and unguarded. They rushed to the Queen's npurtmen and bore down the few tardea di Corps who listened to her defence, I he sentinel knocked at the door her bed chamber, called to her to es cape, and then gallantly exposed him sell to the fury of the murderers.

His single opposition was almost instantly overcome, and he himself left fur dead. Over his bleeding body they forced their way into the Queen's apartment but their victim, reserved for farther and worse woes, had escaped by a se ciet passage into the chamber of the King, while the assassins, bursting in, stabbed the bed shu had just left with puce ami swords. The outside of the palace was still besieged by the infuriated mob, who demanded, with hideous cries, and ex clamatiuns the most barbarous and ob scene, to see the. Austrian, as they culled the Queen. The unfortunate Princes appeareil on the balcony, with one ul her children in each hand.

voice from the crowd called nut. "No children!" as if on purpose to deprive the mother ot that appeal to humanity, which might move the hardest heart. Maria Antoinette, with a force of mind worthy of Maria Theresa, her mother, pushed her children back into the rooms, and turning her faceto the tu multuous multitude which tossed and roared beneath, brandisliO their pikes and suns with the wildesT attitudes of rage, the reviled, persecuted and denounced Queen stood before them, her arms folded on her bosom, with a no ble air of courageous resignation. The secret reason of this summons ithe real cause of repelling the children could only be tu a fiord a chance of some desperate hand among the crowd executing the threats which resounded ou all sides. Accordingly, a iun wa actually but one of the by standers sirucs ii uown, iur we pas sions of the mob hsd taken an oppo site turn und astonished at Maria An toinette's noble presence, aoJ graceful hnnness ol demeanor, mere arose, al most in spite of themselves, a general shout pf Viva le Heine if the insurgents, ortatber (hose who prompted hemVhiissed their first point, they did not also lose their se cond.

A cry arose, "To Paris!" at first uttered by a solitary voice, but gathering strength, until the whole multitude shouted ''To Paris to Pa ri!" The cry of these blood thirsty bacchanals, such as they had that night snown tneinseives, wss it seems, considered as the voice of the. people, and such Lafayette, neither reuion: Mrated himself, nor permitted the King to interpose a moment's 'delay in yieiuing ooeaience to it: nor was any measure taken to put some appearance even of decency on the journey, or to disguise its real character, of a triumphant procession of the so vereign people, after a complete victo ry over their nominal monarch. Ths carriages of. the royal family were placed in the middle of an train eaturea ble column, consisting nartl of Laftyett's soldiers, partly of the revolutionary rabble whose march had preceded his, amounting to several thousand men and women of the low. est snd most desperate description, intermingling in groups amongst the bands of French usrds.

and civic ml. dicrs, whose discipline could not ena ble them to preserve even a semblance ot oraer. Thus they rushed along, howling their songs of triumph, 'le harbingers of the march bore the two bloody head pflli murdered Gardes 'de Corps, 'paraded on pikes, at die head of the column, as the 'emblems of their prowess and success. The rest of this body, worn by most of. them despoiled of tneir arms, ana many wiummw nan, anxious for the fate of the royal faini ly, and harrassed with apprehensions fiir themselves, were dragged Tike captives in the midst of the mnby while the drunken females around them bore aloft in triumph tlieirjrtd's, their belts, i .1 1 i i i anil uieir nail, iiieac wreicnea mined with, the blood in which they had bathed, themselves, were now singing songs, of which the burthen bore "We bring you the baker, his wife, and the little apprentice)" as if (he presence ol the unhappy royal uiniiy.

with the little power they now pos tered, had been in itself a charm a gainst scarcity. Some of these Ama inns rode uoon the cannon, which made a formidable part of the proces sion. Many of them were mounted on the horses ol the Uardes de Corps. some in masculine tashiou, olbers en croupe. All the muskets and pikes which attended tins immense caval cade, were garnished, as if in triumph, with oak boughs, and the women car ried long puplar brunches in their hands, which gave the column, so gro tequely composed in every respect, the appearance ol a moving grove.

Scarce a circumstance 'was omitted which could render this entrance into the capital mure insulting to the King's leeliugs; more uegrauiug to the royal dignity After six hours of dishonour and a gony, the unlortunate Louis was brought to the Hotel de Ville, where B.iillt, then mayor, complimented him upon the "beau jour." the "splendid day," which restored the monarch of ranee to his capital! assured nun that order, peace, and all the gentler virtues were about to revise in the country under his royal eye, and that the King would henceforth become powerful through the people, the peo ule happy through the King; un what was the truest of that as Henry IV, had entered Paris by means of re conquering his people, Louis XVI had done so, because his people hud reconquered their King. His wounds salved with this liD coraforU the unhappy and degraded Prince was at length permitted to retire to the Palace of the Thuilleries, which ton uninhabited, and almost unfurnished yawned upon him like the tomb, where alone lie at length lound repose. PHRENOLOGY. The merits ot this system have again been brought very generally into dis cusiiion, in consequence of an elaborate attack upon it by Mr. Jeffrey in the Kdinburgh Kevicw, and a clever ue fence of it by Mr.

Combe, its grea advocate in Scotland, in a late nuin ber of the Herald, we gave a very short abstract ot its principles, nut we now subjoin a more full one, which we dare say will be thought suiucieot by jreal proportion of our readers. Pure nology, then, according to the aver ments of its supporters, demonstrates the following: 1st. That the brain is an aggregate or organs, and, as an organic system constitute exclusively the organ of the mind 2d. That the mind possesses a num ber of distinct innate faculties, esch of them dependent on a particular mate rial organ in the brain for its munifeS' tation, the power of each faculty's manifestation being cseteria paribus in proportion 'to the size 01 its cerebral organ. Sd.

that these faculties and their corresponding organs are divided into three great classes propensities, sen tiraeuts and intellects between which faculties themselves, and between them and the external world, God has estab lished the must perfect harmony of re lation. 4th. That faculties and not ideas. are innate, or implanted by nature. 5th.

1 hat attention, perception, me tnory and imagination, are not primi live faculties of the mind, but only modes of activity of all jw any of the intellectual (acuities; mere acts of the mental powers. 6th. That there is an infinite varie ty among individuals in their respec tive endowment of the primitive facuf ties; hence the differences among men are original and innate. 7th. 1 hat these original differences lesceod, by the laws of propagation.

from parents to children, and that it is upon this principle chiefly that national character depends; feebleness of cha racter being caused by the inheriting from nature a small main, and enerrv of character from a large. 8th. That a distinctive charaeter of the sexes consists particularly in the disposition of the propensities of sma tiveoess ana phiinprneenitiveness, and in general size of brain. 9th. I bat the essential distinction between man and the lower animals depends on his possession of peculiar organs, of the sentiments and ef the reflecting faculties.

1 10 to. lhat man possesses a oataral seotiraent veneration leading him intaitivel to the worship oft God. 1 1 th. man has an innate moral sense, depending though solely, on his sentiment cfconscien solely, on his sentiment conscien tio'Bsii. i That the existence "of the ft collies secretb'eness, of apriuyati.

i. benevolence, conscientiousness and intel lect, proves that a' sale of society or civilisation is natural toman. 1 3th. That we may determine, priori, the education most suitable to be given to, and. the proiessions best adapted for different individuals.

I 4lh. That insanity is," in every case, a nut a mental malady; and that the seat of (he disease Is exel sivelr in the braio.br in some partic lar part of it; let not prejudice dep'rivl any physician of the immense advantages to bo derived Irotn a thorough knowledge of this principle, i 15th. That the cause of partial, in a nity proceeds from one or more Organs. becoming diseased, while every organ, and particularly those of the intellectual faculties, remaia in a state of perfect sanity. ICth.

That the causes of idiocy, partial or total, arise from the deficien cy of size or structure in all, or any of the organs. 17 th. That the phenomena of dream ing are dependent on the activity of some only ot the organs, while profound sleep Consists in the repose of them 18th. That the causes of the inde iendeiice of nations are dependent chiefly on endowment of the higher sentiments, and not on particular forms of government free institutions being the effects, and not the causes til liberty. AFFAIRS IN FRANCE.

The following extract of a private letter from the Senior Editor of this paper, dated. Paris, January 15th, 182r, is not without interest to the American reader, though our advices from Fiance are of later dates: "The crisis here is rather interest ing! but you will gather the aspect of the times Horn the Kngnsn cf French papers more fully than I have leisure to write, ine movements in the re ninsula, the situation of the affairs of Greece, in consequence of thenegotia lions of Russia, England and France; the death ol Ihe Unite or York, and intelligence of the day. willrca you from Liverpool, long before mv letter is received. You will see, that the French papers are filled with dis cussions and memorials on the subject of the restrictions upon the liberty of the press, i he sensation appears tu reach the inmost recesses of society, and institution! which hsve hitherto kept aloof from politics and confined their pursuits to abstract principles, are coming forward in the great cause ot freedom. You will see that a meet of the National Institute is to bi held.

My own opinion is, that should the project of the law In question be auopteu, it win go inr towarus creai ing another Revolution, fur which ma ny of the people are ripe. The impo licy and rashness of the royal party in regard to this bold measure surprise me. It is calculated to awaken all the angry passions. At any period, the experiment would be dangerous at present, it looks like madness. His Majesty is like a man seated upon an Avalanche, which a breath may loosen and bring down ruin, such circumstances windwn would prompt him and his partisaus to bold their breaths and keep perfectly still But the Jesuits are clamorous, anil with all their characteristic cunning, appear to have but a moderate share of an enlightened prudence.

'Ihe mi mstry are supposed to be divided, to as great a degree as are the chamber ol reera and Deputies, and allot them at present seem to be lying on their oars, for the purpose ot watching the developement ol popular sentiment. In a word, whether the project is adopt ed or' not, the aspect of political at' fairs in France looks squally; If the law passes, it may only serve to arouse instead of smothering opinion ii ii anouiu ooc paw, us ucieai pe ascribed to tear, and the press will be come more bold and clamorous than ev er. Such are the two horns of the dilem ma, from wnicn the government are to choose. Public opinion and the influence of the press have become omnipotent in France, that the King cannot play with censorships, establish ing and revoking' them at pleasure. Bul have no time for speculations." btatesmau.
