STANDARD NOVELS.—The seventh and
eighth numbers of this highly-popular periodical publica-
tion contain the far-famed Romance entitled " The Scottish
Chiefs," by Miss JANE PORTER. On the first appearance
of this work, it was immediately translated into most of
the continental languages, and the fair authoress received
from Vienna, Berlin, Warsaw, St. Petersburgh, Moscow,
and even India, the most gratifying testimonies of the high
admiration which this beautiful story elicited. It will he
recollected, also, that NAPOLEON commanded the sup_
pression of this book in France, conceiving that some of
the sentiments contained in it were dangerous to his power.
On his abdication, however, a translation of " The Scottish
Chiefs" immediately appeared in Paris, and has ever since
continued in high favour. Miss PORTER has given a pe-
culiar value to the present edition by adding new and
anecdotical notes, and prefixing an introduction illustrative
of the origin of the story.
Thirty-four half ankers of spirits, brandy and
geneva, were seized on the night of the 19th inst., by
Lieutenant RAYMOND, R. N., commanding the Coast Guard
station at Hastings.
