the interrogatory so pointedly put 46:Noble Earl
near him (Earl Temple), tbat the Hon. Gentle-
man could not be induced to give any satisfaction
to the House upon the present question. It is in-
sisted that the war with Russia has been caused by
the violation of the Capitulation entered iuto with
Denmark ; and on a question of such vital concern
to the country, to refuse giving an answer to the
charges alleged, was, in his mind, the greatest con-
tempt the House or th, country ever witnessed.—
The Honourable Secretary has told us, that the
terms of the capitulation were left to those most
capable of judging of them. He has said a good
deal on the subject of his doubts, as to how far
this treaty was to be considered to extend, and of
"getting it to Lord Cathcart and General Pey-
Malin but it was odd enough to remark, that,
during the period of these pretended doubts,
wegoetations were carrying on for the violation
of the capitulation, and for the occupation of Zea-
land with Swedish troops. The Honourable
Gentleman has amused us with his reflections

This simple story, in the hands of Mrs. C.

rendered highly entertaining, and was very well
received by a crowded audience. Mrs. LISTON
