King, Ile hat had a terrific crisis! He would my no more. It
was thence concluded that the King was dead ; and I feel conEdent
that the 31iniater himself thought so. Indeed I was so [Clain the
event had taken place, that had I tnet with an canine going to
London, I should have sent you a letter informing you of what 13.1

l'he last letters received from Valparaiso state that the
Quintanilla schooner, a piratical vessel, which had long
been committing depiedations off that port, had been
brought in, detained by La Diligence, a French corvette
of war. She was takt n off Quilea, on the coast of Peru.
The Count:tat:der of his Britannic Majesty's ship Cm-
bridge had previously taken measures for the wealthy of
British property on that coast in future.
Lo xi; EVITI.-11 ugh Shaw, at present living at Se'rss
near Paisley, was born in Sorbie l'atish, IVigtonshire, in
the reign of Queen Anne, .August, 1713, and is now in the
year of his age. Ile enjoys good health, and is able
to go about seeking subsistence as a mendicant. Est"!
Saturday he ix paits to 31aawelltown, Paisley, in that
capacity, and returns the same day, tasking a perambula-
tion of seven miles. Ile sees well, but is deficient in best-
ing, aud wants his tezth. He must regularly have kis
glass of whiskey a-day , but no inducement is sufficiest to
prevail upon hint to talc a second. Ile is still feed el
living, and his memory is remarkable in his recailection of
olden times, in proof of which the following story is in
point :—lt was his usual practice, till within these four
years, to repair to Greenock on the anniversary of his Fedi.
On a late visit there, he was accosted by a venerable gentle-
man upon the street, acid was invited by hint so a 'avetn

the neighbourhood. Haring heard be fought at battle
of Fontenoy, he questioned him as to the officers' names.
which, to the gentleman's surprise, he emusetated mot
exactly: Be inquired if be knew a Lientcr.ant —in
the regiment ? " Yes," said he, " I should recollect him.
for I carried him off the field when wounded, and he died
next day." l'he stranger asked the old mat's name. He
answered, " Hugh Shaw ;" and, upon referring to his
notes, he found that a person of that name performed that
office to the Lieutenant in question, who happened to Fe the
gentleman's uncle. This man, who nay be styled the pa-
triarch of Scotland, carries about with hint printed Copal
of the certificate of his birth, signed by the present and
late Alinistt r of Sorbie, where he was born.—GlarrAr
