" In the midst of his musings, as he cast his
eyes downward, he beheld, he says, the fairest sod
freshest young flower that ever be had seen, it was
the beautiful Lady Jane, walking in the Ketilets ;
►he tit once captivated the fancy of the romantic
Prince.—became the object of his wishes—the so-
vereign of his ideal world. There is, in all this
charming scene, a similarity to the early put of
Chaucer's Knight's Tale, where Palmy ))))) and Ar-
cite fall in love entb Emilio, whom they see walk-
ing. in the garden of their prison. But, perhaps,
the very ►imilarity of the fact to the poetical ioci•
dent which he had read.. may have induced James
to have chielt upon in his poem. Ilia description
of the Lady Jane is more elaborate than Cliiiiicer's
of Emilia. Ile dwells, with the fondue** of a lover,
on every article of her apparel, even to the goodly
chain of small orfeverye about her neck, whereby
there hung a ruby iu the alsipe of » heart. that

her white bosom.

Ibis romantic tale of further times, and of the golden
little poem that had its birth-place in this tower,
that made me visit the old pile with such lively in-

spot that bus once been printed by the footsteps
of departed beauty, cud helloed by the issvpirstiusso

by the lapse of ages. It is. indeed, the gift of poetry
to consecrate every place in which it moves; to breathe
around nature an odour more exquisite than the per-
fume of the rose; and to shed over it a stilt more magi-

General Bolivar could have desired to rehouse
South America before lie had 'achieved its free-
dom ? Is it out a country yet a prey wall the bor.

It is true that be might hive had. and very polls,-

objects, he will doubtless be happy to grant to

have " forsaken their own country," to aid in pro-
curing freedom for South America, any advantage
in his power to bestow. Thus the men who have

to exchange the sword and the musket for the
plough ; but before they sit dosses to enjoy she pm-
duce of the earth, they most ensure sloe possession
of tranquillity. They most catiquer before they
colonize. The whole tenor of the letter sanctions
this construction, and tins construction only.—Ge.
'lend Bolivar promises the high esteem of America
