MARSEILIZES.
Some of_M_r~.CAivi'En’s ‘most iriterestinc
ietrers were written during his visit at Mar
seilles. in France’, and among them we may
qoutiltlte following, giving a description of
that tity. V
Ma'rseilles possesses a full share of those
pnblic insritrrtions, which ineliorate, instruct,
and embellish society. . Its charities are nu-
rneroris. and reflect credit upon the ltiiiiratitfir
grits inhabitants. Amotigihese is the Ruhr
ford Society, whose object is to dispense food
to the poor upon the most economical plan.
The town can boast rrfmauy scientific and
literary associations, that have been the nut
series ofgenius and talent. An oxteiisivr
mirseum is the depository of works ofart, as
well as the few remaining antiquities of the
district 3 and the crrltivatiorr ofnatural science
has been encouraged by the establishment of
a Botanic Garden. The former of these iti-
‘stirutions is situated in a quarter ofthe city,
which is designated by the name ofthe Jillees,
consisting oftvide avenues occupying the site
of the old walls, bearitifnlly shaded with eltiis
' anrfadoi-ned with copious fountains. One or
‘ these streets forming a favorite promenade,
opens through a long vista oftrees and build-
ingstipon the harbou,r,’in one direction, and
upon the distant hills, in the other.
Tire Garden of Plants is still more rural
and pleasant in its location, occupying the
banks ofa small stream in the suburbs, a mile
and a halffroni the port. It possesses all the
_usual appendages ofsuch an institution—hot-
houses, lecture rooms, and pools for the Cul-
ture or-aquatic plants._ The grounds are SIIIII-.
cieiitly spaci’ous.'laid out with taste. and filled
with the products of every cliiiie ; but the eye
ofthe visitant is much displeased with a high
blind wall. enclosing the garden and entirely
intercepting it from the public view._ How
ever necessary such defences may be in other
countries. they are always Supt’-tflttous In
France, where even the lowest 82. "1081 heed
less classes ofthe community manifest no pro-
pensity to mutilate works oftaste.
In the vicinity ofthe Botanic Garden are
extensive pleasure grounds, filled with arbors,
re factories, and all the allurements which a
gay and iuxurioiis people can require. But
the most attractive appendage to this fashion-
able retteat is a Russian mountain, which is
ttbreak-neck species of atntrst.-iiieiit, witlijust
enough of danger in it to tempt belles and
beaux ofspirit. We walked tip the artificial
hill. and then--walked down again ; for the
pathway was undergoing repairs, and not in
a proper condition for a descent in carriages.
The mountain consists of a square woodeir
frame, severity or eighty feet in height, with
an iirclined plane extending thence iirto a re-
mote part ofthe ‘garden. At the outset the
angle ofthe declivity is about forty-five de-
grees, and as the surface is perfectly smooth,
the little cars go like a shot following each
otlierin rapid sticcession. They are drawn
back to the goal by a wheel turned by a liorse,
while the fasliionables toil tip the Sldfi-Wtllti
on foot. A carriage will hold two or three
persons, and the fare is abou ten sous a trip.
This ainusenient is mentioned merely as an
object of curiosity, and notwith 3ny_WIS_l):lllal
it should be introduced into the U. States ;—
for it is inferior in variety and incident ‘to the
_ sport of sliding down hill upon the shows of
our country, to which " children of a larger
growth” can resort, free ofexpense,wlien they
need any sricli recreation.
The history ‘of Marseilles is full ofinterest;
Its origin borders on romance. Six hundred
years before the christian era, a band of pi-
tfatical adventurers from Ionia. in Asia Minor,
by dint ofsnperior- skill in navigation, pushed
their discoveries to the mouth of the Rhone.
Charmed with the white cliffs, green Vales,
blue waters, and bright skies, which they here
found, they returned to their native country,
and persuaded a colony to follow them to the
barbarous shores of Gaul, bearing with them
their religion, language, manners, and cus
toms. On the very day of their arrival, (so
Says tradition,) the daughter of the native
chief was to choose her a husband, and her af-
fections were placed upon one ofthe leaders
of the polished emigrants. The friendship of
the aliorigines was conciliated by marriage,
and their rude manners were softened by rhe
refinement oftheir new allies in war, their
new associates in peace. In arts and arms
the emigrants soon acquired the ascendancy,
and the most musical of all the Greek dia
lects (how utilikethe barbarous Patois of the
present day !) became the prevailing language
ofthe colony.
From this little band of adventurers, in the
wilds ofa remote and uircivilized coutitry,
sprung a powerful Nation, which rivalled
Athens itselfin the wisdom of its laws, the
prudence of its councils, and the elegance of
its letters. So celebrated tvere its schools of
learning and philosophy, accompanied by so-
ber habits and pure morals, that Rome herself
in the age of Cicero did not disdain to call
£\.l.rssi|ia a sister city,aiid to send her Patrician
youth to be educated in one of her provinces.
But as in all other cases, wealth led to luittrr_r,
and luxury to a corrtiption of manners. So
rapid was the decline ofthis proud city, that
in the age ofthe Caesars, “ Naviges ,/ljossi-
l1'am”——einbark for Massilia—-had become a
proverb to express the extreine of debauchery
and licentiousiiess.
A The irlodern history ofMarseilles, also a.
bounds in incident. A people naturally of a
warm temperatn'eiit, subject to ‘sallies of pas-
sion, and food of freedorn, have frequently
manifested a restless spirit and spurned the
yoke of tlielr oppre-sors. It is well known,
that for a considerable time a kind of confetl.
crated republic was established in Provence
when Marseilles was foremost ofilie league.
In the latter part ofthe 16th century, a pop“-
larleader named Bayou, a native of Corsica
like his still iiiore-celebrated successor, reliev.
ed the city from the odiirus duiiivirate of Ca
sanliri and Louis of Aix, by an act ofgallantry
airdpatriotisrii whicli arquj,-ed (0, him the [,
tire of" Liberator” ol his country. The grat.
ittrde of his l.~llow-citizens-directed his bust to
_ be placed in the grearhall ofthe to'ivn'-house,

great f,«’.rl1'v.‘sl lor liberty, air intelligent citizen
of this town informed me that the value of the
property has" increased fifty per cent. since the ’
beginiring of the present century; that the
prostratioii of overgrown landed estates pro-
duced an entirely new era in agriculture. that
manufactures and the useful arts have ad-
vanced with unexampled rapidity ‘within _ the
last twenty five years; and that the revolution,
with all its bloodshed and all its liceirtiousness,
gave an activity, an impulse to national indus
try, which the calm ofdespotisin could tiever
have awakerfed felt the more satisfaction
in recording this opinion, because it favors
the great principles ofliberty, and becatise I
have been inclined to the beliefthat, consid-
ering the excess and the ineffectual struggles
ofthe French revoltitioii, it ought to be view-
ed rather as a niisfoiturie than a blessing to
Europe, since the result might discourage any
future eflorts to be. free. What prosperity,
~—-ieatness, ' and glory would have awaited
France had Napoleon, instead of aspiring to
the imperial purple and tlieieby reducing his
character to the level of other despots, imita-
"by directing his ambition to the establishineht
oftlieliberties of. his country.‘
In the history of Marseilles. the frequent
visitations of the plague form an interesting
item. It has been scourged not less than
twenty times by this awful calamity, some-
times losing balfits poptilation. From July
1720 to May 1721, about forty thousand per-
sons died of this disease at Marseilles, and as
many more in neighboring vill.iges-—produ-
cing a degree of depopulation,from which the
district has scarcely recovered at the com-
inencernent of the French revolution. The
sufferings and horrors with which the towti
was afllicted during the prevalence ofthe pes
tileiice find no parallel in theepidemics of our
country, or even in the ravages of the yellow
fever at the close ofthe last century. A thou
sand persons sometimes died in a day. ' The
living were not sutficieiit to bury the dear‘, 8:.
the streets were stretved with curses -mangled
by dogs. Physicians were wholy ignorant of
the proper mode oftreatment‘, and themselves
fell victimsto the disease. In a word. the viv-
id picture which Thuycides has drawn of the
same scourge at Athens, was here realized.
The visitation and mortality of the plague
cannot fairly be ascribed to the climate of
Marseilles. -Iii every instance, its origin was
clearlv traced to vessels, which brought it
from the east. The alarming calamity of 1720
led to the establisliiiient of lazarettoes and
quarantine regulations, by which a repetition
ofthe ‘evil has since been averted, -although
infected ships‘ have been allowed to enter the
bay. In general, the climate of this city
may be considered healthy, though in my
opinion, very unfavourable to persons afilict
ed with pulmonary affectioiis. The air is ex
tiemely dry, and dot ing the pl‘8Villt‘l1Ce of the
mistral,harsli, chilly, and piercing. Even the
natives are subject to pectoral complaints, in
flamhiatoiy rheumatism, plcurisy, 82. spitting
of blood. Add to the unfavourableness ofthe
climate, the difficulty ofreacliing it by water
without a_ long qriarantiiie,or by land, without
fort in the tiomestic arratrgeiiient of the hou
ses, fire places, and caipets—-I believe a phy-
sician in our country canrict adopt a greater
terror,than by reccomiiiending to his patient a
trip to “ the South oft”:-aizce ” The sick man,
on his arrival, finds the country designated by.
the foregoing plirasca kind of “ tcrra incog-
nita,” lyiirgsoinetvhere between the Pyrenees
anti the .\’laritiine Alps, btit in other respects
as vague as the poet’s “ Nortli"—-
“ At Iceland, Greenland, or the Lord knows
tr here.”
Ifin this state ofdistraction and embarrass-
ment, the unhappy individual shall take up a
guide_book,or set about making oral inquiries,
he will perceive that no two authorities agree;
that one coiiiplainsoftlie scorching dryness
of the mistral at Marseilles, and another 0!
the dampriess of the marine or sea wind at
Montpelier. But what is still worse, the pa
tient after an actual trial of all the climates
of “ South of France,” ifindeed he lives to
go the rounds and make the experiment, will
learn that none oftheiii are free from obvious
o-jcctions, and that it requires the strength of
a inati in full health, to endure the fatigues of
a ride from place to place, to resist the cliaii
ges ofweather, and to sleep in clianilicrs with
plastered walls, naked brick or stone Hours,
and air apology for a fire. The truth is that
the clmate of the South of France is only rel-
atively good—gootl in comparison with the
winter fogs of England ; and hence the error.
Our; physicians have in too manycases adopted
ilie advice oftliose ofG.Britaiii, withouttaking
the foregoing circuuistance into view. After
much inquiry and actual observation my 0-
pinion decidedly is, tliat the climate of many
parts of our owti country, and particularly of
the West lridies, is far more favourable to in-
valitis than any I have yet found in Europe.
As this is a subject of some little , import-
ance to our countrymen, I shall be excused
from citing one or two cases out of niairy, in
justification of my opinion. The circumstance
WIIICII attended the recent death of one of the
most eriiiiieiit citizens of New Jersey are pro-
bably fresh in the minds of tirariy of my read-
ers. After a long and fatiguing passage, he
arrived at the Port of Marseilles, where he
was compelled to undergo a quarantine of
something like forty days. cut offfrom the so-
ciety of friends and the comforts of life. At
last permitted to land. he sought in vain for
the fountains of Hygeia amidst the arid hills
of Provence and the dusty valley of the
Rhone. He pursued the goddess to her cool
retreats in the north ; but the fatigues of a
long journey prostrated his strength, and at
Paris he expired among strangers, instead of
quietly closing his existence in the bosom of
his own family.
Another case, which I hope may prove less
fatal has fallen under my own observation.-
Oii arriving at Marseilles, we found within
two doors of our hotel, a friend from N. York,
who is travelling for his health. Hrs physi-
cian advised him to take refuge forthe winter
in the South ol'France, whither he hastened
from Paris by the way of Lyons. Thejour-
iiey was performed in the coldest weather in
ihe month ofJaiiuary, in a coach which tra-
,velled day and night. Such ajaunt is enough
to kill a well man ;and it is next to a miracle
that‘ an invalid, laboring under a severe affec-
‘tion ofthe lungs, shooldsttivive the icy winds
‘front the Alps. He was iirtruth btitjust alive
on lrisrarrival ;- and nothing but the skill of air
errrtnerit ptiysiciari, and the unremiited atteri- ,
tionsu-15 one of the kindest families in the
WOt'l'.l, apparently rescued him fiorn the grave.
I
finding him seated before a French fire, mak-
ing the ‘most of the rug of his hearth, and la-
menting the folly of those who adopt such
measures for the restoration of health.
I have almost b'ec'um'e so far a sceptic and
a fatalist as to believe itirnpossible to escape
death by flight to a foreign shore. lfaii in-
valid caii find no remedy for his maladies a-
midst the comforts and consolations of home,
in the air he has been accustomed to breathe
from childhood, in the elements with which
his systein is faniiliarized, in the prescrip-
tions ofpliysiciairs who are acquainted‘ with
his constitution and temperament, iii the-
pleasures of society, and the cheerful faces of
his friends, what is he.to expect from the in-
novations of ‘new climates, new modes of liv-
ing, new physicians, and the eternal solitude
ufstrange faces ? Every medical man well
knows how indispensable quietude of mind is
to the convalescene of the body ; and it neéd
rendered mtire sensitive by disease are ill at
circumstances willdaily occur to discompose
and irritate the_ feelings. This, however, is
mere tnatter of speculation ; and it is far from
myintention to contend that in certain cases
change of climate may not be highly condu-
cive to health. ‘
