At a late fitting of the National Institute in Paris, citizen Meicier, author ot the 44 Picture of Paris, in the year 2440," mounted the tribune to read a fragment upon Cato of Utica. The length of this which many members of the insti tute perceived to have been greatly aug mented limee it had been read to them in private, the fm-thered,voice of the orator, the tardiness of his utterance, and the irn poffibility of hearing him at the distant parts ef the hall, produced a mod marked impa tience both 011 the part of the aflVmblv, and of the members of the institute. The presi dent found it necessary to invite the citizen Mercier to cede his place and his turn to the citizen Lebrun, who would recite a mod beautiful ode on the existing circt'mftances. The author of the long fragment, feeling his vanity wounded, proved refraftory, re lifted the willies of the prefidelit and the auditory, and after a scene, which the editor declares to have been truly scandalous, the president dissolved this College of Savans, in the midst of the mo ft lively dil'order. The French National Institute offer a Prize Medal of the weight of Five Hefto grammes, to the author of the best Ode, Poem, or Discourse in verse, upon the Foun dation of the French Republic.

Here it is : " The friends of the republican candidate would ill defervte- the prospect of success, which daily brightens and expands, could they be ensnared by the cabals of fa ft ion, or terrified by tile fpeftres of detraction." The citizen Dallas, when lie . percetves that Mr. Rofs is elected by a majority of fivr oi fi£ thousand, in spite of the cabals of faffion and the fpeftves of detraction, will, it he is wife, cry out, with his accuf tftmed non-chalance, obel jam satis est.— After which, be may tiug in good Italian, the retiring dlftich of the ancient Pistol Si Fortuna me tormenta, Spero mi contents.
