s.ilDed to iwiew if the Aaierican Consul. would take upon
Icovielf to esaist him out.
Cueroil said, he would tua4t willingly assist him, hnt he

barracks:—One of die Ist troop of Life Guards observed, in
cleaniug his horse, that the animal seemed particularly fond of
!taring his face and head continually rubbed; in doing which
the soldier discovered Something moveable as he pressed the
cheek of the horse. He accordingly communicated the same
to Mr. Bloxhasn, the Veterinary Surgeon of the troop, who
took considerable pains to examine it; and having made every
necessary preparation, lanced it, in the hope of discovering
the enure ; when, to his sarpriae, Jteestrseted a grape .slust,
weighing nine ounces, front the horse's head, which he receiv-
ed at theabattle ut aterloo, where the wound was immedi-
ately dressed in the usual manner, after the engagement, and
Was considered only as a sword cut.
A curious eireumstauce happened about three weeks ago
in Paris. Ail English boy, alma 14 years of age, of genteel
inannelP, was found in Ow streets, wittiest, any money in his
pocket, and who could not speak a word of French. He was
brought. to the worthy and Res. Dean of St. Asaph, who was
theu.in Paris. The buy told a story that his father had been
dead some time : that he was placed. under the care of a
guardian at Shepherd's Bush; that he was eutitled to a small
tat time an coming of age; that his motor r, a widow, had
Sled a Bill in Chancery against his guardian, to get hint, her
son, out of his hands; and that he bad been brought down to
Brighton by Its guardian, awl under pretence of a sail on the
water, had been put on board a packet and landed at Dieppe,
where he eras It ft on the beach with only les. in his pocket.
