Sla,—l again write you, but as my form e r l e tt e rs ha ve b een unnoticed I suppose they were worthless. You can oot have earlier notice of this day's proceedings than what !send. Our county election took place this morning, ano by it I should think our county will stand first in the list °ll tenest and true ones; we have sent eight reformers for the„ Bill, and nothing but th e Ri I. O ur l a t e M em b er Nnurel Lumley, Esq., was proposed by radical Colon e l Wildman, (a ballot man,) and seconded by Colonel Cooper Gardiner, two better worthies exist not, in able. intelligible, and constitutional speeches. Mr. Denison (although letters reached Here this morning, of the probability of his return for Liverpool by an overwhelming majority, 1,300 and 4 1 against 400 and odd for the amendment General Gaseoyne.) chose to go to the poll nominated by a M. Sutton, Esq., and seconded by Gaily Knight, Esq., in a splendid speech, vouching for the correctness of Mr. benison's conduct in Parliament, as a supporter of Reform and the Bill in particular. A show of hands was unani olous, and they were elected in a very short time. Mr. benison concluded a very imperfectly heard address, by sayin g he hoped to meet them again in three months, with the Bill in his hand, to re-claim their suffrages ; and as a voucher for what might be expected from him he begged to give, as an earnest, the company he kept in the person of Gaily Knight, the truly worthy man who seconded him. rrather think Mr. Denison is from the old school of a'srmists, and a convert to the honest cause of Reform, for kany of his old associates, who complimented him by their attendance, such as Mr. Godfrey, of Newark, and many others, never joined in those expressions of applause which were elicited by his declaratory resolutions to sup- Port the present Ministers in all their plans of Reform, and other ameliorations of a corrupt system, and when I apprise You that Mr. Godfrey was the nominator of Sir Roger Greel e y, i n o pp os iti on t o S er j eant Wild e at N ewar k, he mid his like would be sadly out of place at a Nottingham- Shire election of Reformers. It would have done your heart good to have seen that joyous event, the cheering of Serjeant Wilde at Newark, where carriages, horsemen highly caparisoned, and banners streaming, and every u otnoastration of the most gratifying nature at the removal !rum a system of thraldom that they have laboured under allr 150 years. The Duke of Newcastle's influence is gone f rom Newark (like Othello's occupation) for ever ; he seed never look at Newark as a borough patron any more, for be assur e d, as f a r a s re l a t es t o th a t p l ace , h e w ill not , allowed, in future, "to do as he will with his own " ut Baesetlaw ! ! Bassetlaw! ! A place made for the Duke's nomination; at this same Bassetlaw Mr.' Dun %nab is defeated most dismally ; so much for Reform. It ie the principle and not the influence of any man that can sway any longer Englishmen to barter away their hard e Staings and their birthright to oblige any aristocratic °l igarch ; let those who now rid e t r i ump h ant l y i n t o power ter aid of the people do their best to give us a cheap Government, and relieve us as much as possib'e from op- Pressive taxation, and their reign will be as secure as their lives; they are but our servants, they must serve us well, L d they mu s t b e we ll rewar d e d, b o th i n h onour an d pro fi t. et all England bear in mind that Nottingham has sent t ißht reforming M e mb ers t o thi s P ar li amen t, w hi c h w ill gave the fairest fame of any Parliament in the British annals of the world. Your admiring Reader, . E. B. R. TO THE LORD CHANCELLOR. My Lorin,---I address you as a real friend °f Reform and liberal opinion. I could ask what you are doing when Judges go about like activ e political agents ; but I reserve this for an other opportunity—and I at present ask you, as I have a right to do, whether you are aware of the kind of people you have promoted ? It was tioderstood you had, with a rare generosity, given a Mastership in Chancery, with nearly 4,0001. a Year, to an elderly gentleman, whom you only knew as having been disappointed for many years by Lord Eldon. He is said now to requite your klndness by taking part against your measures of Reform in Chancery. But I - know that he and his sons are active against your colleague end your friend at Cambridge. Common de cency requires that men who have just received 4 great kindness should at least have the sem • , 'lance of not resenting it against their bene factor. The Roupel family are supposed to be exempt from all such feelings. Now to my moral. Your Lordship has great patronage in the ehureb, great p a t ronage i n th e Law. Be wise fr om i experience. You gave all your small ''vings to the Bishops, and all the parsons are Joinin g in a cry against your Government, that You are enemies to the Church. Show your -4lf then sensible of such base ingratitude. If they call your past conduct hostile to the Church, let your future conduct be so opposite !Le to win their support. Give them no liv logs at all, till you find their principles those Cf liberal men. In the Law, the Accountant-General has re- Nned ; other places are vacant. Appoint some tried friend, some one fit for the place (as, in deed, who is not fit ?), hut whose opinions a gree with your own. It is your right to chose ; 't is your duty to chose among friends, 110 1 enemies. I take for granted you will b Ot i again appoi n t a h ost il e Chi e f B aron , b u t o f t hat more anon. A CAMBRIDGE VOTER. W e are assured that the KING is angry with LORD MAYOR for the part which his Lordship took aith regard to the late illumination, and that this is the be why his MAJEs - n- has not named a day on which 7 will dine with the citizens. Now, however blame -4,,4 the LORD IVlAxoft may have been, that can he good reason why his MAJESTY should refuse to do ho "bur to the city, and therefore we must say that we do 11 1. ' 4 beli eve the story. W e by no means a ll ow th a t th e h ° l tD MAYOR is at all bl a m ea bl e f or au th or i s i ng an ill um i- Vion—at any rate, if he erred at all, it was a n error o f ;ge head. His intentions w e r e good. As for th e dis 4thances w hich took place, we have no doubt that they ; p r e Wholly attributable to the agents of the boroughmongers. h e hand-bill which appeared in the Horning Past is i e rY curious and suspicious. It puts us in mind of the t t L e aeonable hand-bills which appeared in the same Paper b 'out twelve years ago, purporting to emanate from the 'ieformers. It was proved that a man of the name of •L tTctalias F •KI wa g instrumental in distri lER, RAIN , 9 , t ing these bills. This person was held to bail, but, to . „ 154 1 the consequences of a trial, he forfeited his recogni .l74ees, and went abroad. He was, we believe, a pen tolener of the then Government, and he is now supposed be living upon his old friends, the horouglimongers. Alr. O'BitrEN was tried for the offence, and acquitted. ' 3 rerning Herald. h Lords Join.; and WILLIA M RUSSELL, after called at the residence of the Rev.

Their Lordships ae bri"etvledged the polite attention and respect thus bestowed, tb 'l said they were happy to hear that the public senti ktilt was as powerful in this town, in favour of the great th 'uur e of Reform, as it was uniformly found to be !tighout the country. A large body of the townsfolk _ r obled in front of the inn, and testifi e d, by th e i r reite -1:4 cheers, the popularity of the N o bl e v i s i tors . Hi s i b P dship, Lord JoHN RUSSELL, appeared at the window t t , th e evening, and delivered a few words of thanks to the di . ;,,d• Some brilliant rockets and oth er fireworks were tiltl:4Yed in front of the inn. At eight th e next morn i ng the', Lordships proceeded towards Exeter. In their way t o %rises were detached from their carriage at Welling and drawn round the town by the p o p u l ace , am id st ji2t' e nse cheering. The object of his Lordship' s j ourney do b t) ,l ) evonshire is certain of accomplishment, not the least 1. 45 :t existing that Lord.romr RUSSELL and L or d ERRlNG totthtvill walk over the course as representativ es f or t h at Taunton Courier. LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, MAY 6, 1831. We are delighted to find that two staunch Re formers, in the persons of Messrs. ()TWAY CAVE and PIIILLIPPS, have come forward for the represen tation of the great county of Leicester. There is little doubt of the success of these gentlemen, as, besides their own intrinsic merits, they are backed by almost all tho wealth, intelligence, and respect ability of the county. The patriotic Leicester shire freeholders know their duty ; know that the eyes of their countrymen are on them, and will not be slow to prove the sincerity of their zeal in the glorious cause of Reform. Scotland, too, is nobly battling, as in the olden times, for its independence. Nor is Ireland, nor Wales behind hand. Reform, in short, is every where triumphant, and the humbug of " Moderate Reform" has found its level. The triumph of Messrs. YATES PEEL and GOUT BURN, at Cambridge, over Lord PALMERSTON and Mr. CAVENDISH, both of whom have claims on the University, and the latter of whom obtained the highest honours of his day, has been brought about by the sam e means as were u=ed at Ox ford during the Catholic question excitement, to insure the return of Sir ROBERT INGLIS. The "drum ecclesiastic" was beat in all quarters : ap peals were every where made to the interests of the selfish, the fears of the timid, the prejudices of the bigotted. The conscientious clergyman was told the Church was in danger; the avaricious one that his pluralities were on the move. In consequence of these artful appeals, Cambridge was thronged with ultra voters from all parts of the kingdom, who, though they would not have stirred one step to save either PEEL or GOULBURN from transporta tion, could not resist the temptation so liberally held out to them, of comfortable quarters, lots of good living without work or expense, and, above all, of " well-aired beds." As for the interests of the people, they never took them into their calculation for a single instant. All they thought of—all they cared about, was their own preferments, their own snug pluralities, which they were told would be endangered if PEEL and GoCL BURN were not returned. And even with this startling reflection pressing on their minds, scarce a dozen of than would have stirred from home had they not been assured that all their expences would be paid. No, no, your true churchman is no fool. He is as keen as a rat to his own interests. Patriotism he leaves to the people. It is his business to take care of number one. The consequence of this silly, selfish conduct on the part of those who should have known better, will, we apprehend, be ruinous to the interests of the Protestant establishment. It will convince the people that Churchmen have not the slightest sympathy with them. Gracious God, how de. grading to think, that the very first example of op position to his MAJESTY'S expressed de! , ire. for Reform, should be set by the Churchmen at Cambridge, by that very class to whom the country pays such exorbitant sums in the shape of tithes, in order to enable them to live at ease, roll i n wealth, and do nothing ! While the KING, the Mi n i sters , and the people, are all strenuously engaged in the same great cause—the regeneration of the Constitution —the Church alone hangs back ! Yes, the Church alone hangs back ; and not only does it do this, but it actually volunteers a separatio - n (which it once professed to dread) from the State ; lends itself to the base purposes of faction; and dares . to oppose th e wishes of a people from whom it derives its all ! These are painful reflections to think of, and still more painful to mention. But the truth must be told, no matter at what cost. The Church is only worthy of public reverence so long as it confines itself to its own vocation ; when once it ventures beyond the pale of its legitimate duty; enters the arena of political controversy, and mixes itself up with the party squabbles of the day ;—from that moment it sullies its high character, and ceases to be an cbject of veneration. We anticipate serious injury to the Church from this ill-judged struggle at Cambridge. By the last arrivals of the Paris Papers, we learn that a flat contradiction has been given to the report that the French Government had received despatches from Marshal: MAISON, announcing the intention of Austria immediately to declare war against France. l'he following are the prices of the French Funds :- FRENCH FUND&-Pean, Max- 4.-Five per Cents., 89f. 88f 'Oc. 75c. 60c. 80c. 70c. 50c. 60c. 50c. 30c. 40c. 60c. 50c. 40c. 50c. 40c. 50c. 4,c. 50c. 4.5 c. 50c. 40c. 50c. 60c. 75c. ; New Loan, 1831, 89f. 3f. 9 c. 75c. 60c. 80c. • Three per Cents., 62f. 62f. 10c. sc. 61f. 30c. 62f 61f. 10c. 90c. eoc. 65c. 62f. 62f. 10c. sc. 62f. ; Rente de ,:aples, 69f. 69f. 50c. 25c. 10c. 69f. 69f. 25r.; Royal Spanish Loan, i 4 M 34 64 641 i ; Rente Yerpetuelle d'Espagne, 52 5144 4 % 51% ; 52 ; Exchange on London, one month, paper, 25f. 10c. ; money, 25f. 10c.; three months, paper, 24f. 95c. The Allgemeine Zeitung gives a somewhat dis couraging account of the present aspect of affairs in Poland. It must, however, be received with caution, as it comes from an interested quarter :•—• BUCHAREST, APRIL 10.—The Russian troops in oL r principality have received orders to leave us and to retire over the Pruth. We learn that in consequence of the events in Poland, they will go into cantonments in the old Polish provinces, Podolia, Lithuania, and Volbynia. Only one city will keep a Russian garrison. This may be considered as a proof of the entire confidence of the Rus sian Government in the honour of the Porte, and at the same time a refutation of the reports propagated from Con stantinople of a change in the sentiments of the Porte to. wards Russia. It, however, appears to he out of doubt .hat Turkey has suspended its payments to Russia. AUGSBURG, APRIL 29.—We have to-day no later news from Warsaw than 21st April, either direct or by way of Berlin. The New Breslau Gazette bas the following news, dated 21st April : u Travellers from Poland, who have lately come from Lublin by way of Warsaw, cannot find words to describe the lamentable condition of that unhappy country. The country beyond the Vistula, which for two months and a half has been the theatre of the continual marches and countermarches of the hostile armies, is dreadfully de vastated ; the habitations near the roads partly demolished, the inhabitants fled into the forests, the cattle and sheep consumed, and the little corn used, to fted the horses and cattle for the use of the troops. The appearance, of Warsaw itself is equally deplorable. Though it rejoiced for a few days at the heroic exploits of its troops, yet the majority of the citizens look with appre hension on the unequal conflict, and fear more distressing times, as news has been received from all quarters that Count Diebitsch recommences his official operations, and, having received fresh reinforcements, is approaching Warsaw. The streets of the city are put in a state to make a most desperate resistance ; the inhabitants go about gloomy and reserved, or shut themselves up io their houses ; for the slightest doubt in the truth of the reports in the newspapers is sufficient to make the most respectable citizen looked on as a spy, and to put his life in danger. No equipages, indeed, are to be seen in the streets, we, that used to be so animated, at the most a waggon with mili t try effects or wounded. Sicknesses increase, and some rears of cholera have been entertained. Trade and manu factures are quite suspended. Foreigners engaged in manu factories endeavour clandestinely to leave the country, be cause they are dragged away to serve in the army. The left bank of the Vistula does not present so melancholy a pros. pea; but even there scarcely a third part of the fields has been sown in con sequence o f the failure of the crops last year, and the scarcity of good seed corn. When the revolution bioke out, corn of all kinds was seized and conveyed to the army magazines, or secretly sold at low prices, because 'money was more easily concealed than corn. But now the sowing time is come there is no seed corn, to which we add the want of horses and oxen, which have been taken away from the poor citizens, Provisions already begin to be scarce, and unless timely precautions are taken a famine may be expected in Poland in a few months." A letter from Bialystok of the 6th April says not a word of any disturbances in that neighbourhood. The Grand Duke Constantine and the Princess Lowicz have been there. Ever since the end of February such large bodies of troops from the interior of Russia were passing that way, that all the villages were crowded, and it was neees,ary to lodge part of the troops in barracks. VIENNA, APRIL 25.—Four per Cent. Metalliques, 71 1-16; Bank Shares, 1,011. We learn from a correspondent that Sir JOSEPH YORKE and three other gentlemen lost their lives yesterday, while sailing in a boat that was upset dur ing a squall on Southampton water. We earnestly hope that this intelligence may prove unfounded. LAW INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY). ROLLS COURT. His HONOUR, atter disposing of upwards of twenty petitions, proceeded with the case of Armstrong u. Armstrong, which pos sessed no point of public interest, and which had not concluded when our Reporter lett. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. The VICE.CHANCELLOR took motions to-day, none of which, - up to the period of our Reporter's leaving, were of any public importance. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. DE LA CHAUMETTE v. THE GOVERNOR AND COM. PANY OF THE BANK OF ENGLAND. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a merchant in Paris, against the Governor and Company of the Bank of E ng . land, to recover the value of a note for 5004 The Bank refused payment on the ground that the note had beel stolen before it got into the plaintiff's possession. On the trial it was proved that the plaintiff had used all due caution before he exchanged the note, and the Jury, under Lord Tenterden's direction, found the following special verdict, subject to the decision of the Court above We find that the note for 500/. was stolen front a person named George Hawkins, but that there was no negligence on the part of the plaintiff in exchanging it. Ver dict for the plaintiff; subject to the opinion of the Court. Mr. PLATT was heard this morning in support of the verdict, and cited a great many authorities to spew, that if proper caution was used in taking a note, the party could not be deprived of re covering it, in case it should have been dishonestly obtained in the first instance. Mr. FOLLE UT, on the other side, contended that as Bank of England notes were not a legal circulation in France, the parties who exchanged them took all the liabilities of the former Owner. The COURT said the doctrine laid down by Mr. Follett would lead to the greatest inconvenience in mercantile transactions, and they were of opinion, as the plaintiff had tied proper cau tion and diligence at the time he exchanged the note, he had a right to recover, and the verdict for the plaintiff must be con_ firmed.—Verdict for the plaintiff: DAT AT ONN O'CLOCK.

They do not bring any ne ws of importance. (From the 'Madras Papers.) Lord Dalhousie's camp was expected to leave Benares on the 4th or sth proximo. His Lordship's health isperfectly good. The following paragraph is from the ifurkarit of the Zd ult. " We think it right to notice a rumour now current arid gene rally believed, that the Court of Directors has resolved that the issue of bills on them in payment of the dividends of interest on the public loans, shall be entirely discontinued. The great difficulty of effecting remittances to meet the bills, it is has influenced this decision." From Bombay we learn that Sir Sidney Beckwith has been obliged to leave the Presidency owing to indisposition. (From the Calcutta Price Current.) COTTON—With the exception of a few bales of new, taken for shipment, the operations through the week have been con fined to parcels INDIGO—The market continues unusually dull for this season of the year. EUROPE AN GOODS—Without improvement; some descrip tions of cotton piece goods, such as Book Muslins, Lappets, and Bengal Stripes, of which the stock are declining, sell readily, but no advance in prices. The French Papers, received by the mail this morning, state, by accounts from Chambray, of the •29tli Aprii, that a con spiracy has been discovered in Piedmont; Austria, in concert with the Queen and the Generalissimo of the troops, Paolucci, wanted to carry off Prince Carignan and his family, and to place at the head of the Government the Duke of Modena. Accounts from Lublin state that an army of thirty thousand men is in that neighbourhood. Letters from Tilsit of the 19th ult., and from Memel of the 21st, mention that the Russian General llennekampf has arrived at Polangen, and taken the command of the troops there. H e has been strongly reinforced, and is going to act on the offensive. The information from Berlin states, that the Poles are erecting strong entrenchments at Praga and Grochow.

BRITISH CEMETERY AT BOULOGNE- SUR-MER. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sta,—The authorities of this place having officially communicated to me their right of re-hccupying the land appropriated for the interment of the dead, after the expiration of five years from opening the ground, as well with respect to the French as to foreigners, agree ably to the old established law of France, 1 con sider it my duty to announce the same in the most public manner, for the information of British subjects having relatives lying in this cemetery; and that an op portunity is given to any person desirous of retaining the graves and monuments of their deceased friends, of pun chasing such land, either in perpetuity, or a term of years, upon the several terms stated in tables, which 1 have transmitted to Charles Ilertslet, Esq., Solicitor, No. St, Norfolk-street, Strand, London, who will furnish the necessary particulars. I am sure you will readily assist my object, which you, can best do by giving publicity to thisletter in your widely circulated Paper.—l am, Sir, yours eb,diently W. HAMILTON, H. B. M. Consul, Boulogne.sur. Men Bo ulogne-sur-Mer, 28th April, 1831. COUNTY ELECTION—Tuesday next is the day appointed for the election of Members for the County of Middlesex, to take place at Breritford. The old Mem bers, Messrs. Byrra and flux; will be e,cortrd into that ancient town before twelve o'clock in the forenonn of that day, by large bodies of the electors, who will form them. selves into a procession. There is not the leirtotest idea of an opposition, and the election is not expected to but came than an hour. We have been favoured with a sight of two beautifully-executed minature bronze busts, one a striking likeness of our justly popular KING, and the other that of Lord Chancellor BROUGHAM ; and we have he,n told a characteristic anecdote of the KING in regard to that which represents himself. The artist by whom they live been prepared waited on his MAJesrr with a specimen of his art, with which he expressed himself very much satisfied, and inquired at what price they could Le sold ; the artist said, that front the expense which attend••d the moulds they could not be sold for less than three guineas ; on which the Krwc assured him that he would pay all preparatory expenses, and added, "you must sell there for one guinea each, for I wish every one of my subjects to be in possession of a copy."- - -- Caledonian Mercury. ATTORNEY'S BILL.-Among the persons opposing the discharge of Sir JOHN IGNATIUS BOAT, who lately applied for relief under the insolvent Debtors' Act, were several agents. Rather a curious item was in troduced into the Bill of one of them, which was the fol lowing :—" To coming from Dublin to Holyhead in a storm for you; in fact, Sir Jens, for doing impossibilities for you, 5001."—Legal Observer. " The Young Duke," whose fashionable ad ventures are described in the new novel by the author of " Vivian Grey," is now living, though he can no loneer be called a junior. The fair divorde is also living, mud is still as lively a character as she was in those days during which she is depicted by the novelist —The prominent character of the Prima Donna it must be admitted is an anachronism. She was not extant at the time when the o her veritable characters flourished ; though in the pre vent day she has succeeded, in mere ways than one, in making a noise. A GOOD SPECULATION.—A poor man, num d CAWTHORNE, residing in Gravel-lane, Shadwell, who has a wife and six children, and who has been for some time supported by the parish, was advised, on the late occasion, to manufacture illumination candlesticks. He accordingly made upwards *of 6,000 small candle• sticks, which he disposed of at a shilling per dozen on the Wednesday morning. As the materials cost only V., which was lent him by a friend, he realised a profit of 21/., which " has set him on his legs again." He could have sold double the number if he had had them made. Yesterday gave another curious proof of the variableness of our variable climate. At nine o'clock it was a beautiful and warm May morning ; at eleven it was bitterly cold; and the noon-day sun was accompanied by a bountiful shower of good sized hail stories. Snow only was wanting to make it dead winter. The Life of Sir THOMAS LAWRENCE, which has been so long and so anxiously expected, will be laid before the public in the coarse of a few days. The correspondence of this celebrated individual was very ex tensive, and is said to he to the full as inter( sting and as beautiful iu composition as that of the poet Cowl.Eß; dad we are happy to state that the writer of his life has been enabled to make a copious se:ertion of his letters, embracing his opinions on art, literature, manners, fec. A young lady, about 16 years of age, who had lately returned from a fashionable boarding-school. and was living with her father at Broughty Ferry, eloped last week with her father's groom. Intl were immediately traced to Edinburgh by some friends of the family, (which ranks among the Aristocracy of the county) ; but, before they could be overtaken, a " half-mark" marriage had been consummated. The young runaway, on bring requested to return to her distressed relations, showed by her answer that she had fully made up her mind to sacrifice their feelings for her own gratification ; and she was therefore left to reap the fruits of her imprudent conduct. It is understood that she is entitled to a considerable sum in her own right.—Dundee Advertiser. MONEY LETTERS WITHOUT DIRECTIONS. The Duke of RICHMOND, in evidence recently printed, respecting Post-office salaries, makes this extraordinary statement :—Speaking of the salaries, his Grace says, " All will recollect the responsible situation of those men who sort the letters, and the power they have of secret ing letters, and converting the contents to their own use, which is very much facilitated by the negligence of the public. In the last year, in England alone, there were 910 letters (on an average upwards of three a day), con taining property to the amount of 6,6451., put into the office without any direction at all ! In addition, several bankers' letters were misdirected to the wrong town, five of th.t nu tn.- beralone containing property to the amount of 13,8331." His Grace afterwards remarks that " the amount of money sent through the post-office is very large indeed. On one of the days of the severe fall of snow last winter, the Glasgow bag was brought into the inland-office, and there were twelve thousand pounds, for one banker alone, loose in the bag—the letters bad got wet, and the money had dropped out !" It ie also a curious fact, though not stated in this evidence, that there are daily many n,,ws papers, sometimes hundreds, put into the office without any direction ; besides many, many letteee without ade dresses, as well as without mon, y. JACK KETCH, A PROFESSOR . I .—A Bristol paper, in its notice of the execution of WALKER, the burg far, observes, that the prisoner remained in prayer for a short time with the Chaplain; after cOdcle the execu tioner proceeded 'o the duties of his PROFESSION ! Only think of a Professorship of Hanging being founded and endowed in one of our Universities ! The new and cheap edition in one volume embelli,hed by plates, of " The Spy," by the celebrated transatlantic Novtlist, published as the third number of '' The Standard Novels," may he, in many rewrcts, re garded as a new work; for not only has the author pre faced it by an introduction containing a remarkable story in the secret history of America from which the idea of the tale was deduced, but Iris add,d many il:u-tra be ti:e notes, and given every page the benefit of his last touek b The whole of this hbour was bestowrd on the Wu. 3 di, and tram.- Mr. CO.:4'ER at Paris during the h 4 7: edition, in the Wished by eons.
