BARON BRUNNOW.—IE has been stiggeeled that on
the arrival of Baron Brunnow, early in February next, again
to take up his residence in this country as ambassador
from the Court of St. Petersburg, it would not be out
of place for the Corporation of Dover, upon his excellency's
landing. to meat him with an address of congratulation.
There is no doubt that in doing this the Dover authorities
would be hot expressing the unanimous feeling of every one
who has ever had the slightest relations with Baron Brun-
now, scarcely any representative of a foreign power having
gained the meed of esteem which fell to the share of his
excellency during his residence among us prior to the events
which rendered his departure necessary.—.Dever Chronicle.
