The following account of the reception 'expe-
rienced by the Duke of Nott't'FlUAIBEttLANn, on his arrival
at Calais, has been furnished by one of the Officers appointed
to escort his Grace across the Channel :—" His Grace, as 4 Am-
bassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to the King of
France, on the occasion of his Most Christian Majesty's Coro-
nation,' was permitted to land on the shores of his Most Chris-
tian 111ajesty, on this complimentary errand, without the ma-
nifestation of a single public expression of courtesy or respect,
though the Comet, on going into Calais, hoisted the standard
of England, and the Brazen instantly saluted this distinguish-
ed emblem of his Majesty's representative presence ! This con-
duct on the part of the French Authorities appeared still more
inexplicable to his Grace, when it was known that Captain
Willes, of his Majesty's ship Brazen, had informed the Com-
mandant at Calais, that his Majesty's ship should salute the
French national flag in the garrison, if he would give an assur-
ance that it would be returned with an equal number of guns,
as complimentary to his Britannic Majesty's ffitg ; and that the
offer was declined. His Grace ordered a relay of 411 horses to
Paris, gave a dinner to the Officers in attendance, and next day
set off for Paris.—Her Grace made a present of 501. to the
Master of the Cornet, and of 25/. to the Master of the Light-
ning, which latter vessel took over the luggage and servants."

Author has contrived to amass together all the particulars of
enlarged,n'sS
Horse, Dog, and 'Man, worthy of being known. It is a happy
composition; full of whim and particular phrases with a slip
of morality in it, like a bit of lemon-peel in one's
flavoured with the choicest lime juice of slung. Deeply as we
have dived into the jewels of book, the store is inexhaustible.—
Turn which way we will, innumerable sparkling subjects in-

An accident has happened to the Count de
Survilliers (Joseph Buonaparte). It appears that the horses
harnessed to his carriage having taken fright, he was thrown
out, and received several wounds. His life is despaired of.—
