A correspondent informs us that the Earl of Bute has enga
ged the ablest artist in England to draw a fall ^length picture,
in the gracefulleft attitude, of the most wife King Solomon of
the present age, contemplating with the highett teeming plea
sure a vase of the pure hearts blood of his molt Loyal Ameri
can fubjeds, drawn from them by Surgeon Butchers sent by
King Solomon for that purpose, who is now of opinion, after
mature consideration, there is no blood circulating in the veins
of any of his fubjeds of equal constitutional purity, and there
fore is determined to preserve it as a sacred repofitofy, and he
thinks Solomon the firft in all his glory never difptayed an
example of greater wisdom.
