and Spain, in the Weitern Pyrenees, 
by the Citizen B¥**, &c. 
The war between the French and 
Spaniards, was obvioufly hottile to the 
interefts of both nations, and, as it 
was Carried on in a mountainous coun- 
try, and on a narrow and confined fcale, 
but few interefting events arofe dur- 
ing the courfe of it. The author ap- 
pears fo have been prefent in the fcene 
of action, and he muft be allowed to 
have defcribed the various fkirmifhes 
and combats that occurred, with great 
order and exactnefs. 
We are generally prefented with a 
topographical defcription of the coun- 
try, anterior to every action, and the 
map which accompanies the work, ap- 
pears to be extremely ufeful.

<< Effai fur Art de rendre les Revs 
Jutions utiles,” &c.—An Effay on the 
Art of rendering Revolutions ufeful ; 
by J.B. Bonnet, 2 vols. vo. ‘ 
This is the fecond edition of a work 
that has occafioned fome noife at Pa- 
ris ; the author is a prieft, who fled to 
America during the late troubles, and 
hefeems to have acquired the counte- 
nance of the Government, by prediét- 
ing that the Executive Power, at pre- 
fent eleétive, cannot fail, in a fhort 
time, to become hereditary. 
The book itfelf is divided into five 
fections. The firft contains the expofi- 
tion and the developement of the prin- 
ciples on which the reafoning is found- 
ed; the fecond is an expofition of 
the Papal Government at. Rome, which 
the author is defirous to reprefent as a 
mafter-piece of poiitical economy ; the 
third is meant to convey an idea of the 
Roman Government, at the epoch of 
the Revolution ; the fourth is an ap- 
plication of the proper remedies to heal 
the wounds received by the hierarchy ; 
the fifth and laftis a fummary of the 
poiitions laid down by Bonnet, and 
which, if we are to give creditto him, 
are equally applicable to every Govern- 
ment, and include whatever is ref{peét- 
able in religion, mora!s, and inftitu- 
tions. 
According to this ftickler for the Pa- 
pal Government, it is a kind of uni-_ 
verfal political panacea, equally fitted 
for France, Ruifia, and England ; in 
fhort, for all the nations of the uni- 
verfe, being a mixed {pecies of domi- | 
nion, although different from that of 
Great Britain and the United States of 
America. Here follows his definition 
of it: ‘* The Papal is a monarchico- 
democratico-religious government, of 
which the chiet is elective, and chofen 
for life. The bafis of this fyftem,” 
adds he, ** is the equality of political 
and civil rights; the national repre- 
fentation, being entrufted to the care 
of an elective head, under the fafeguard 
of a religion, which, better than any 
conftitution, enfures the balance of 
power in the hands of a king-pontiff.”’ 
This work is terminated with the 
plan of a conftitution, replete, like the 
refit of the publication, with paradoxi- 
cal doftrines.
