VILE TRANSLATION.-4-.-Whellthe*glish trans-
lators, in _the meeting between Lord CASTLE-
ur.A6u and the murderer CAULINCOURT, gave the
French words sur les.meilleurs formes," as mean-
ing the most .unconstrainedlioliteuess, they en-
tirely mistook the matter. In their civility; illy
just added one syllable too much; 'viz; un ; for
, the literal translation is the most constiained potite
”essi and there can be no doubt that Lord CAS7,
TLEIiIEAGPI, his urbanity. andood breed,
ing, found it difficult to constrain himself.in such
company.
THE CONSCRIPT KING OF Romi,By a person.
from Paris, we tinderstand there is nobody suffels
more for the " Anior patrice" than thiS young gen.--
: for when he was first forced into regi-
mentals, be had a great antipathy to the accou-
trements ; in consequence, after the manner of
the conscripts, he was soundly flogged, and
then volunteered immediately and displayed " the
Most ardent patriotism.''
