From an article in the latter, it appears that some discussion has arisen respecting the large sum of money received by Messrs. ROTHSCHILD, from the Government of Ilayti, as a part of the price paid by the Haytian Republic to France for its independence. :The sum remitted by the President of Hayti, as the first Instalment, amounted to five millions of franca; but, says the riristarque, it consisted of a species of coin called quadruples, which arc of the value of two francs. By some very singular remissness, however, these quadruples had rot been acknowledged ; and the house of ROTHSCHILD, vesting them after the course of quotation at the Ex ‘hange, had thus realized a profit of nearly 200,000 francs. :he Aristargue and the Constilutinnarl consider this cir ,utnatance as a grave charge against the French Govern ment, and express their astonishment at no reply having been given to it. The Elude, however, treats the affair in quite a different manner. In the first place, it oills it a confused unintelligible accusation ; but, eti olating the facts as alleged to be true, the charge, if any, would be with more propriety made against the Government of Hayti ; for, it asks, who sent the qua druples to the house of Ror usentl.D ? who made the con ditions for their exchange and conversion into francs? It was not the French Government, neither was it the Caissec des Consignations, whose only duty it was to receive the snoney in francs, and who had nothing whatever to do with the previous part of the business. There is something, cer tainly, rather odd in this affair. That such a large sum of money should be received in an old coin not now cur rent, and be exchanged into francs without their value being previously ascertained by the Government to whom they were remitted, appear to us a deviation from the usual course that can hardly be accounted for upon the mere supposition of what the Aristaryuc calls use singulirr dis :ruction. GERMANY. DARNisTADT, SEFT. 8. The Diet of the Grand Duchy wee opined yesterday it, this city, by the Grand Duke, who &livered the following speech on the oc casion : " Gentlemen,—lt Is with pleasure that I see met about me, for the third time, the Assembly of the faithful States of the Grand Duchy. The choice of the Second Chamber gives me reason to hope that a good spirit will animate that Chamber, and that we shall proceed with confidence in each other. The Grand Duchy, rorming, as it does, an integral part of the Germanic Cesafedera on, I regard it as one of my most sacred duties to take the I,v,sliest interest in all that concerns the consolidation of that tederation, and the quiet and security of Germany. I shall cause to be communicated to you the resolution taken in 1824, by the Federal Diet, relative to the latter point. The internal admi oistration of the Grand Duchy has advanced both in order and in Manner sins the list Diet, the salutury effects of which will be daily more and more felt and acknowledged. The financial depart ment has been able to reduce the interest on the public debt. This circumstance, united with the produce :of the indirect taxes, has notwithstanding the deficiency in the other branches of the revenue, enabled the adMinistration to meet the fixed charges of Govern ment. 'Phi department of justice has terminated one great part of us former labours : and may it acquire a still greater promptitude of action. As uniform mode of Legislation will contribute much to this math. There, however, still exist great difficulties; but I shall sainnlt to you an account of what has been done in this respect. The establishments fur public instruc tion are visibly advancing towards perfection. I shall always devote my particular attention to these subjects ; and I may with confidence expect from you that you will emend me in the adoptierral those measures which I May judge necessary to the attainment of immediate good, and for the preparing ourselves for the best. Accitletits and the phenomena of nature caused great damage in 1124 re the province of fharkenberg, and to the Herse , 'Thematic.

OF A TREATY or BOUNDARY CONCLUDED BETWEEN RUSSIA AND NORWAY, AS REGARD+ THE rar.tros DIS TRICTER,OR COMMON DISTRICTS,ON THE 11th MAY LAST. (From a Letter.) CHRISTIANA, Atm. 2. It is known to the public that in the spring of this year a boundary treaty, which has been so long wished fur, was concluded between Norway and Russia,through the mediation of our Govern ment. The chief point was, to avoid future collisions In what are called the common districts (failed. dist,irler). His Majesty our King, therefore, empowered Count Von Palmatierna, Ilia Anthem dor at the Court of Russia ; and his Majesty the Emperor of Russia, his Minister for Foreign Affairs, Count Nesselrode ; to conclude a convention, which was effected on the 14th of May, this year. The following is the substance of it : Art. I. The boundary line which was to separate Sweden and Norway, aczording to the treaty concluded between Sweden and Denmark in 17,;1, shall be preserved, so far as it now forms the frontier between Norway and the Grand Duchy of Finland, that is, from the titre where the new boundary line, drawn according to the cnnvendon of the Bth (20th) Nov. 1810, begins, to the point called Kolmsowe Illadakjesta. 2. From this point the frontier shall remain as it has hitherto been, as far as to the river Pasvig (or Pasrek) running from Karol. sowe Matlakk-sta, over the mountains Rejsa.Oora and Rein,.Oive, to Gelanai°, and thence it shall run along the Pastig (or rasrek) , and the lakes which it forms to the church of St. Boris and Oleb, on the left bank, which remains to Russia, with a rayon (or terri tory) of one went. A went to the north of the church the line shall go directly across the Pasvig, and proceeding to the south-east on the little lake where the Lax Elve rises, and thence to the point where the Jacob's Elve ( Woriema) is formed by the junction of three small streams, thence it follows the Jacob's Elve to its mouth. in the sea at Jacob's Vig. Wherever the Pasvig and Jacob's Elve form the frontier, it follows the navigable channel. On the lakes formed by the Pasvig it passes through the middle of them, where the water is the deepest. All the little islands to the east of this line, as well as the lakes formed by the Pasvig, belong to Russia; those or the west to Norway. 3. His ,Majesty the King of Sweden and Norway renounces for himself and his successors the territory situated beyond the said frontier line, and the right formerly claimed by Norway to levy tribute on the part of the common districts now ced-•1. 4. After the ratification of this convention, Cot sinners from both partiesshill proceed to the spot to draw the hot idary line de termined by the 2d Article, and have posts erected to mark the frontier. This work shall be completed in the summer of 1826. and the local authorities of Wodsoe and Kolo shall lend their as. sistance. 5. The inhabi•a•tts of the districts now separated shall have lid er y fnr three years to remove from the territory of the one State into that of the other, and to take their property with them with out payment of nny tax whatever. 6. The Laplanders in the territories of both parties have the free exercise of their religion : and those belonging to Norway may frevent the Church of St. Boris and Gleb ; and those dependent on Russia the Norwegian churches; but must contribute as here tofore to the maintenance of the clergy. 7. The families which by this Convention become subjects of the one or the other State may ti.h and hunt for six years as they did before in the territory of the otter. Those who go away have not this privilege. To preve..t abuses, the former receive from their Mag;strstes written licences, which are to be produced, if fleas- Mary. IL The new bount'ary line must be especially observed with re spect to the (formerly common) pastures. He who transgresses on this point will be duly punished. Rein deer and cattle that have only strayed arc to be given up to the owner. 9. Navigation, floating of lime, and fishing in the Jacob's Elve, and in that part the Pasvig which forms the boundary, shall be free to the subjects of both parties, and elan where the Pas rig flows entirely in the terrimryof one of the parties. IU. Immediately after the ratification, this Convention shall be made known to the Norwegian and Russian Laplanders in the divided districts, and they shall be enjoined punctually to observe it. fn case of dispute or violation of the Convention, a decision shall be made ns soon as p^esible. 11. The trap of the frontiers laid down by the respective Com missioner in 1025 shall be annexed to this Convention, as an integral part of it. 12. The Convention shall be ralfied in St. Petersburgh or Moscow wi bin six weeks, or sooner if possible, and the ratifica- tions excharge,'. Dm:e at St. Petersburgh, the 2d (14th) May, in the year of our I.r;rd 1824. (Signed) N. F. Baron V. PALMSTIERN.I. Count V. NESSELRODE. HASIDURGH, SEPT. 8. The acc-tirts from Courland are very melancholy. The corn is Parched up ; %bat fruit has escaped the caterpillars, falls off from the heat ; the cattle sulfa from want of water. By the same mail we have received Papers from St. Pe tersburgh of the 26th of August, and Stockholm of the 49tii. From the former we learn that a decision has been made, by the Council of State, on the subject of manisges allowed to be contracted by banished persons, to the fol lowing effect : 6 ' in consequence of a question submitted to the Council of State by the Governor of West Siberia, it has been decided that men banished to that country may marry women who are not criminals, if the latter are willing: women exiled to Siberia may marry men rot criminals, w:th the restriction that such marriages shall not give them a right to leave Siberia, should their husbands quit the country. " The Commission appointed some years ago to investigate the smuggling of gold, of which some officers of the Crown at Eke terineburg were guilty, has concluded its labours. Several of the members have been recompensed for their zeal with the insignia of various orders." STOCKROLM. Al'O. 29. It appears now that the winter corn has suffered more in Sweden by the drought than could be foreseen on the 22d July, when hopes were still entertained from the appearance of the crops. Ruinous appreltens:ons are also entertained for the potato crap. It may perhaps be time to avert, by importation, the scarcity that threatens many districts, where they already begin to speak of bread made of bark of tNes. SEPT. 1. The C.:zette of to-day contains a Royal Proclamation of 31st August, by which, on actumt of the deficiency in the harvest, the duty on the importation from abroad, of the following articles for consumption, is reduced, viz. :—On barley to one rix dollar 24 shillings; on oats to one rix dollar; and on pease to two rix do!. lam, per ton. Corn of this description already in warehouses in Swedish ports is included. It is said that the Tapperhelen and Chapman men of war, sold last year, may be expected back from America at Gottenburg.

In our Police Report will be found a still further ilia closure of the villany of a man calling himself " Captain CAN PHF.LL, of the Navy," who has imposed upon a num ber of individuals by representing himself to he delegated by Lord Coen RAN E to raise Officers of various descrip tions for the service of Greece. In the progress of his work of deception, he has been in the habit of showing a letter signed by Lord Coen nit NE as his authority. A Gentleman connected with Greek affairs, who visited this same " Captain CAMPBELL" to-day in the Spunging house in which he is incarcerated for debt, has informed us that the letter stated to be from Lord COCHRANE is • most barefaced forgery, notwithstanding its foreign post mark, and calculated only to impose upon the most unwary. Our informant states that the " Captain" hail acknow ledged having received no less than seventeen commission Iles from different young men, under the idea of their at once becoming Field Officers of Marines, and Lieutenants and Midshipmen in the Greek Navy. The unthinking class of persons to whom the application was addressed can alone account for the success of its operation. The method which Mr. PEEL has adopted for revising our system of law Is one which cannot be too much ad mired. It is of a piece with the whole system of his NI A-, J ESTv's Ministers, who, anxious as they are for improve went, seem determined that no improvement shall be forced on the people till they have convinced them of its propriety, and that no alteration shall take place till every part of its consequences has been accurately calculated. The Roman, the Prussian, anal the French codes are certainly noble specimens of the efforts of enlightened reason ; but they sprung up too hastily to possess that degree of perfection and comprehensiveness which ought to distinguish a code that is to form the sole law of a great nation. The work of TRIDONIAN and his associates, notwithstanding the many advantages which these great jurisconsults en joyed from the labours of their predecessors, occupied them no less than three years without intermission : and, after all, it still remains. a very imperfect production. The laws are fur from being methodically arranged, and are even replete with contradictory decisions. The Prus sian and French codes were made under despotic Princes, and are full of instances in which the knot of legal dif ficulties is cut instead of being untied ; the framers dial not feel themselves bound to adhere either to the letter or spirit of former enactments ; they gave a law to the best of their judgment correct, but in many instances imper fect, in consequence of their inattention to former ad jatked cases. In order to avoid this Mr. PEEL has not proposed to bring forth a perfect system of jurispru dence at once. His other official avocations, as well as the necessity of consulting an infinitely greater number of authorities than any former legislator, prevented the possi bility of his pursuing that course. But he has pursued a much better method; he has left the deep-laid and solid basis of English law untouched—satisfied that it rests firm on the basis of right reason. All his care has been con fined, in the first instance, to separate, simplify, arrange, and define, the particular portions which ought to form our code; to correct the occasional aberrations, and supply the frequent neglects, which had been suffered to deface the system ; and, by dividing the labour into parts, to con centrate his care and attention for an adequate time upon each, that something might at least be done with care, even if he should, which GOD forbid, be removed by death or other accident from the superintendence of the great work. The method which lie has adopted is more modest and more effectual than that of his predecessors, and we doubt not that we shall hail every fresh fruit of his labours with the same enthusiasm as those which preceded it. CITY, FnIDAT EVEXIXD. The transactions in the Consol Market have been again to-day of a very limited character. At one period of the Market they may be quoted as high as 791 4, differing an eighth between buyers and sellers ; at the close of the day, however, they had subsided to their opening quotation of 791 I, and for the Account at 791 4. There was an ab sence of every thing like information of a political nature. Some grave politicians cannot be persuaded out of their belief that Mr. CANNING'S visit to the French capital has other objects in view than mere pleasure; and the affairs of Turkey and Greece, and of Spain and Portugal, are both persisted in as subjects on which he will exert his powerful talents during his sojourn abroad. The want of action in the British Stock Market has been compensated by the activity which prevailed on the Foreign Stock Exchange. At the opening of the Market, Mexican Bonds, which closed yesterday at .57, advanced at once to 60, amidst a multitude of buyers ; in the course of the morning there was a trifling re-action, but at the close of the Market they bore the quotation of 614 I. The ex pected notification by advertisement from M. ROCA FULIIT to which allusion was made yesterday, of the change of agents in this country, and of the notice of payment of the dividend, having appeared this morning, has given rise to the advance in question. Some persons were dis posed to cavil with the wording of the advertisement, because it did not contain a notice from Messrs. BARING themselves, announcing their acceptance of the office, and also of their intention to pay the dividend. It is im possible, however, to suppose for a moment that there can be any ground for suspicion. M. Roc a re it T es state ment of the necessity of changing the agent of the 51exienn Government, of his having made arrangements with Messrs. BARING for paying in future the dividends on the loins, and his further request , that the Bonds should be presented f o r payment on the Ist October next at their counting-house for that purpose, surely are suflicientty conclusive facts, without any notice from Messrs. BARING at this moment. It cannot be supposed possible that the Messrs. B %RING, gentlemen of such high honour and integrity, would know ingly permit their names to be used in the way they have been by M. ROC AFUERTE, unless they intended to pay the dividends on their becoming due, whether they shall have received the necessary remittances from the Mexican Government or not. It is clear there is or was a large quantity of specie at Vera Cruz, and it is fair to suppose that on the credit of these monies the highly respectable house in question has consented to ad vance the dividend, provided they should not reach this country in time to anticipate the payments in question, Every description of Republican Stock has felt the bene ficial effects of this announcement. Colombian, which have been so long stationary, have advanced to 3.5. The solemn silence of M. HURTADO as to any exertions making by his Government for the payments of the dividends in question is fatal to these Securities. It may be, that from the state of Colombia, in consequence of internal dissen sion, the difficulty under which the Government labours, as regards its faith with other countries, may be increased ; but still a word of hope or encouragement, or some sort of statement of what is really going on, is surely due to those who hold the Bonds of Mexico. The failure of Messrs. GotriscinsinT was certainly a most unfortunate circumstance, and the events that have since occurred. from the disaffection of Pa ez, may have in creased the difficulties under which this Government la bours ; hut at any rate, whatever the unfortunate combina tion of circumstances may be, the silence and apparent indif ference of M. Hear Apo, and through him of the Govern ment, is matter of grave complaint. Chili= Bonds also, over which some doubts were thrown, have advanced not only to their usual quotation, but to two per cent. beyond it, king now at 40. The smallness of this lean, and con sequently the comparatively trifling amount of interest, it is to be hoped, will rescue these Bonds from suspicion. Even Greek partook of the tide of improvement, showing an advance of one per cent., being now at 13. Spanish formed the only exception to the general rule, having been done rather lower than yesterday ; at the close of the mar ket, however, they were quoted at 10. In the Share Market little was done ; Anglo-Mexican Mining were rather better, at 50 to 17i discount; and Bra , zilian have advanced to 9 premium. In the Colonial Market there have been spirited sales of Coffee, at an advance of two shillings per cwt.; and Sugar I also is something dearer. The Corn Market has been dull to-day, as is usually the ! case on Friday, prices remaining the same as last market. It is generally supposed that Monday will be decisive as to the prices of imported grain ; indeed it is confidently he • bevel! that they have already reached their mininum: The information from Sweden and Norway of the failure of the crops in consequence of the extreme drought, and where the duty on importation has been reduced, may have tended in some degree to raise the price in the northern ports; but, be that as it may, the measure of opening the ports is not likely to prove detrimental to the English grower, while the quantity imported will no doubt he equal to the wants, and the measure itself generally satisfactory to the British people. Exchanges are generally a shade lower. The Hatnburgh steam-boat, whose absence excited so much alarm, arrived off the Custom-house this morning at twelve, but did not bring later intelligence than the Rot terdatn packet. The private letters state the fact that Oats are as dear there as in England, and that colonial produce was in request at advancing prices. Yesterday we received Brusvels Papers to t h e 14th inst. Their contents are unimportant. The following are ex tracts:— 13111*SSE1.9, SEPT. 9. A British Cabinet messenger from London pm.setl through this city yesterday, on his way to St. Pete' sharkh with despatches. Our differences with Prussia, relative to the navigation of the Rhine, are far from being terunnattd. Austria., which has inter. vened in this affair, is said to be much displcat ed at the diflontatic note of our Minister fur Foreign A ffltirs. A letter from Frankfort, of the 30th of August, gives a discourag ing picture of the moral situation of Russia, and especially of the capital; there is much discontent, says the letter, among the nobi lity, and a degree of embarrassment is observed in the proceedings of the Government. The follawing is an extract of a private letter received from Brussels:— BRUSSELS, SEPT. 12. You have inserted, in your paper of the 4th, extracts of a private letter from Lima. elated April 17, which contain some particulars respecting the execution, in that place, of Ilerindongo, Minister of War and Marine of Peru, and of a gentleman, named Tiron. It is said in that letter. that the offence of the former was treason ; hut other private letters front Lima, received in this city, and Peruvian gentlemen of great respectability residing here. assert that his only offence way, the havirg penetrated the secret designs of Bolivar, and that he and his pretended accomplice fell victims to the intrigues of the Liberator, who aims openly at the restimp tim of absolute power, anti removes out of Ms way all those who might oppose hint. None of the Peruvians who are here believe that lie will ever return to Colombia._ It was M. Riva d'Aguern, Ex-President of the Peruvian Re. public, who is now at Untssels, where, as I stated In one of my tonner letters, he married lately a young lady of the highest nobility, who proposed, in 1823, to the Congress of Lima. the (leave in favour of 31. de Pradt; he intended to fix on that writer an annual pension of 5,1100 francs, but the Congress thought the finances of the Republic would not allow such an expense, and changed it into the donation of a medal. The funds of the Netherland Society of Commerce have ex perienced lately a considerable rise; they are at this moment up to 07, and some people prslic: that they win be, in less than a year, up to part, and that the Society, in spite of ail the machinations of a part of the Dutch merchants, will, by the extensive capitals at its disposal, give the law to the commerce of this kingdom. The publ cation of the now journal, the Conttitntionnet du Paps Btu, Ithieh was to appear the 10th, has been put off to the 20th ; meanwhile, the second prospectus has been distributed. Another journal, the Independent, is likewise announced, and will be an opposition paper. The following is an extract of a private letter from La Gnityra, dated July 21:— ' Pace is beginning to feel the difficulties of his situation. He has had a teeeting of ihe merchants at Cancan, for the purpose of arranging for their supplying him with the little sum of 60,000 dol lars per month, against the security of the Custom House cloths, but they have. declined entering into the engagement. We do net yet know how the Government mean to treat this affair. Santan der is a prudent man, and will most likely he found equal to the circumetances of the times. The object which l'aez professes to have in view, viz. the establishment of the federal system is a good one, and would be beneficial to all parties, but it should have been sought by other means than have been chosen. We are perfectly quiet Irere, and likely to remain so. Business very much at a stand. and collections or money extremely difficult." The Journal des Debuts contains a long report of a trial which has taken place before the Correctional Tribunal of Police at Paris,at the instance of M.Levavasst ur, the King's Advocate. The defendants were M. Touquet, a bookseller, M. ',Marchand Dubreiul, a printer, and several other per sons ; and the charge was, that the defendant hail sacri• ligeously altered the Evangelists, by publishing a new, edition of them, with the omission of all the miracles which alone gave those writings the stamp of Divine and dimity. The consequences of these omissions aver: allegey, to be, first, a public contempt of the Holy Scriptures ; 2.1 h d a format denial of the miracles of Christ, which provial the divinity of' his mission ; and thirdly, a formal (knell' of the divinity of Christ. M. Touquet admitted himsion to be the Editor of the work, and justified its priblicat de by quoting the example of the author of the Murale de P Vevangde, which was expressly published for the use of the Dauphin at the commencement of the Revolution ; and also of Don Calmer, who had published in a sepasrate form the Miracles of Jesus arid. The sentence of the Court will he pronounced on the 20th instant. The William Rathbone, Owens, has arrived at Liver pool, from Africa, with palm nil.

There were loading at loony, for this port, the Sir Walter Scott, Bridget, and llerskis son. the two latter were nearly ready for sea, and the Sir Water Scott would be ready in about two months longer. The fever had been rather unusually prevalent, particu larly amongst the shipping ; of the W.Rathbone's crew, five died of fever at Ronny, and two more on the voyage. The Sir Walter Scott bad lest four hands by the same disease,' and the Bridget one. The Kingston, for Liverpool, sailed a month before the Wm. Rathbone, but site has not yet arrived. The Ilarrac.ruta sloop of war had been at Bonny surveying, and had proceeded further along the coast.

She had encount ere d very tempestuous weather, without the loss of a rope, and the engin e k ept i n perfect order. Such was the confidence some of the merchants had in the abilities of the Captain (Howlett) and First Mate (Major), that they did not effect any insurance. She last left Cuxhaven on the 12th inst. We understand he: letters and papers were delivered at two o'clock. -..._ _. THE FRANCIS FREELING PACKET. We are sorry to announce that very painful apprehen, lions are entertained respecting the safety of his Majesty's packet Francis Feeding, Captain F re d er i c k W hite. She left Weymouth on Wednesday evening, with the mail and passengers for these islands, and has not since been heard of. This intelligence was received by the Countess of Liverpool, Captain Robert White, which arrived here yesterday, with Friday's London mail. It appears that Captain F. White was not on board, being gone to London on busiinss connected with the steam-packets. It wu stated, as a probable fact, that she might have taken shelter at Cherbourg, as the wird was favourable for mi lting into that port; but we learn by the Mary, which arrived last evening from thence, that she had not been seen or beard of in those islands.—titeerotey SAN, &pa Amber 12. THE COLLEGE OF SURGEONS IN LONDOIE - An important change has been made in the regulations of the College cf Surgeons, by the abrogation of the ob jectionable order of the Court of Examiners to which we recently called the public attention.

By order. EDMUND BELFOUII, Secretary. Lincoln's Inn-fields, flth &reinLer, 1d26. It will be seen that in this new edition of their regulations, the monopoly in favour of the teachers rcc •gnised by hospital wsii bliAtments, and of hospital surgeons, is given up. and that as attendance on the practice of the large provincial hospitals is under certain limitations admitted. The limiiation M the places at which anatomy may be taught is perhaps justifiable, upon the ground that in the present state of po•roLr feeling anatomy cannot be taught in provineiel towns. This feeling is said t yen to throw great obstecics In the way of the teachers, even in the Universities of Scotland. But a much better security against deficiency in this science thin any limitation as to the locality of the schools is, the care which ought to be, and we believe is, taken by the Examiners to ascer tain diet the pupil has learned anatomy, 1)0t by reading or hearii merely, but by dissecting. Candidates for admission, though very well Waite eel in baok anatomy, have been sent back to cootinve their studies, because (probably for want of opportunities in the places of their education) they had not taken this only effeLtol method of learning their profession. Mr. Abernethy is the President of the Council of this year the prevalent b• lief is, that the practical good sense of this di tinguished surgeon was employed to persuade his College to quit what a late orator would have called "a false position." The Lord Chancellor and the Duke of Wellington paid visits yesterday to the Duke of York, at the residence of the Duke of Rutland, in Arlington-street. His Royal Highness transacted military business yesterday with Sit Herbert Taylor, his Military Secretary, and Sir Henry Torrens, Adjutant-General, General Macdonald, fluty Adjutant-General, and also with Sir Willoughby Gordon, Quarter -Master General. The usual medical attendants visited the Royal Duke. The Duke and Duchess of Clarence have been on a visit to the Duchess of Saxe-Meiningcn, the mother of the Royal Duchess, at her seat at Alton, in Germany. Their Royal Highnesses were expected to take their departure on the lat of the present month, to return to England. At the time the last letters were received in town from their Royal Highnesses, the Duke of Clarence was in the en joyment of good health. The Countess of Eldon is so far recovered from her late indisposition al to be able to take an airing almost daily di her carriage. '7, for ~t~ ° ! ,
