MR. WALLACK.—We sincerely regret to ob-
serve that this gentleman's recovery proceeds but
slowly. By a letter received at Philadelphia,
noticed in the Democratic Press of Wednesday,
it appears that a second operation has been per-
formed on his leg, and a portion of bone ex-
tracted ; and that he is not yet so far recovered
as to be allowed the use of crutches. He che-
rishes an expectation, however, that he will be
able to perform in May. His general health and
spirits are excellent, and every wound on his
leg is healed ; the perfect union of the bones is
now the great desideratum. Whenever lie can
venture so far with safety he intends to visit Phi-
ladelphia, where his brother and sister now re-
side.---(New York Paper.)

LITERARY NOTICE.

LADY JANE GREY, AND HER TIMES, &c. &c.

In fulfilment of our promise, regarding this
little but interesting work, we now select a very
curious document, being a report to HENRY
VIII. made by .13nArthoN Duke of SUFFOLK, the
Earl of SUSSEX, and other Commissioners, when
that Mon arch, upon the sentence of divorce from
KATHARINE of Arragon,, commanded that she
should no more be called " QUEEN," but Princess
Dowager; he also appointed the Noblemen be-
fore named, to regulate the household of the
repudiated QUEEN, soon after which these Com-
missioners made the following extraordinary
Report to his MAJESTY :-

" Pleasythe it yur highnes, upon Wensdaye laste paste,
after dynner, we, accordinge to youre commaundement, shewed
and declared yur most gracious pleasure to the princes dowager
in hir great chambre, all mannere of servants of the house then
their being to heare what should be sayd ; wherunto the said
princes psystynge in hir great, stomacke and obstynacye made
answer with an opene voyse, sayinge that she knewe hirselfe
for yur queene and true wyfe, nevere carnallye knowne by
Prince Arthure ; and that she wold ever stand null and prose-
cute in the courte of Rome, where the mattere is dependynge,
to be hewne in peeces, utterly refusynge not only the name of
princes dowagere, and hir removynge to Somersham because
of hir healthe, but also refusynge utterlye to remove to any
other place by the name of princes dowager, and to take the
service of any psone sworne to serve hir as princes dowagere,
for all perswasyones that could be made to hir by us, and after
by the Lord Montjoye, Mr. Dymoke, Mr almond and receaver,
in hir chambere, who used all meanes they could to pswade
upon hir sendinge for them to speake with hir, that she should
content hir, to remove and to take your most gracyouse order
for her servants and household, to howesover she did ordere
hirselfe in his cause : to whom, for answere, she sayd, that she
tooke this change of hir name, and this oathe of hir servantes,
to be to the greate hurte of hir cause, and thearefore she would
not in anywise conforme hirselfe to that ordere, ne otherwise
obbaye them, but compelled. Whereupon the servantes ap-
pointed by yur highnes to serve hir, when they came befoare us
to receave knoledge of your most gratyous pleashure, and to that
their newe oathe, they said they were loathe to serve her,
psystynge in the mind she was off. Neverthelesse, to obaye
yr comaundement, they wold serve hir, so they might not
be swoarne ; for they sayd, considerynge theire fyrste oathe
made to hir as queene, they mighte not take the secunde oathe
without piurye, and so they contynued a tyme styli), in their
oppynyones, unto the tyme we had with muche diflycultye got-
ten oft them that they had that knoledge of Abell and Berker,
hir chaplanes, whom we callid and examyned, and founde them
styflye standinge in 'their consyence that shee was yr queene
and lawful wyfe, and that no man swoarne to serve her as
queene myghte change that oathe without piury, and so they
knowledged that they had shewed to as many as asked there
counsell, and what-was their consyence ; and in that oppynyon
they psithe stylle, saying theyr learnynge so informethe ther
consyense ; wherupon we have comytted them to the porteres
ward, ther to remayne, not spekyng with any other psone then
theyr keeper tyll yor gratis furthir pleasur bee therin knowne.
And after this was disclossed, upon good extortacons, with
some diffyculty many of the servants appoynted, uppon truste
of yr most gratyous favore, have receaved their romes and other
accordingly ; and so we truste, by God's helpe, to procede to
the stablishment of the servants and order of the houshold, al-
beit some psones named in yr graces book we change uppon
good consyderatyon ; and the bushoppe of Langdaf, whom yr
grace appoynted to departe, wee suffer to tarrye tyll yr further
pleasur be knowne, for that she hathe no confessore left, yf he
and Abell depte, that can speke Spanishe, in the wich speeche '
' she as know confessede, and cannot be in any othere as she
saythe ; and as we pceave by reporte the s'd bushoppe is the
man of moste simplissitie, and shal do leaste harme to tarrye
' and be hir ghostly father. And gor asmuche as she wilfully and
agaynste al humanetye and reson contynuethe stylle in this op-
pynyon, saying, that althoughe yor grace have appoynted hir
to remove to Somersham, she may ne will in any wise followe
• yor graces pleashur therin, unlesse wee shal bynd hir with
' ropes, and violently inforce hir therunto, sayinge also that she
• will not take the servise of thes mene sworne to her as princes
dowager, but as the servise of mene that bathe the keepmge of
her. And for asmuche as she psystytbe in this obstynasy, and
so will contynue, as wee shurly thinke, and for that also by hir
wilfulnesse she may also fayne hirselfe syke and keepe her
bedde in helthe, and will not putte one hir clothes or otherwise
order hirself by some imagynacion that wee nowe cannot calle
to remembraunce, w'ch extremetyes were not remembred at the
makyne of our instructyones, by reason wherof yor pleashure is
not sette foarthe, in our s'd instructyones, what order shalbe
takene with hir beinge in any suche extremetyes, we most
• humblye beseeche . yor highnes, the premyssyes consyder-
ed, to send unto us yor expresse pleashure herin, and in
what maner yor grace will have the same ordered and
put in executyon, and as we may receave the same yor
pleashur uppon sendynge nexte, because the feaste ap-
proachethe so faste. And this the holy trynety preserve yor
grace. Prom Bugcien, this frydaye, vi of the clocke after
noone, beinge the xix Jaye of this presente monethe of Decem-
ber. And because we doubte the bushoppe and the reste of
hir chappel shall refuse to make any othe, we have spared to
speke with them tylle yor graces further pleashure be therein
knowne what order shalbe takene with them in case they shall
so doe.

" To the kyngs highnes."
" This conduct on the part of the divorced queen is but little
in consonance with that humility and submission which the
bard of Avon so exquisitely delineates previous to the trial."
This work is really a valuable historical mor-
ceau, and in point of matter and style, is well
entitled to the attention of all who regard the
annals of their Country.

The following very singular anecdote respecting the sur-
render of Strasbourg to the troops of Louis XIV. in Septem-
ber, 1681, appears in Mr. Dibdin's Tour in France and Ger-
many ; it is narrated on respectable historical authority.
" Louvois, Minister at War, sent word to M. de Chamilli,
nephew of the gallant defender of Grave, to come to him im-
mediately to receive his instructions upon a very important
mission with winch he was to be instantly charged.. The in-
structions were these Set off this very evening for Basle,
in Switzerland ; you will reach it in three days : on the fourth
day, precisely at two o'clock in the afternoon, you will not
fail to repair to the bridge of the, Rhine, with a sheet of
paper, pen, and ink; you will examine and write down,
with the greatest care, every thing which passes under your
eye during these two hours. At four o'clock precisely,
you will have post-horses to your carriage, ready to
start ; you will then set off, travel day and night, and bring me
every thing which you have written down upon the paper. At
whatever hour you arrive, demand an immediate audience of
me.' M. de Chamilli, though extremely surprised at what
seemed to him to be a romantic or puerile mission, never-
theless instantly obeyed. He reached Basle at the time ap-
pointed, and precisely at the hour indicated he was upon the
bridge, with paper, pen, and ink, to notify every thing which
should take place. At first, he saw a fruiterer, with his
baskets ; then, a traveller on horseback, dressed in a blue
great-coat ; next, a raggedly dressed countryman ; then,
common porters. But precisely at three o'clock, a man,in a
complete suit of yellow, stopped in the middle of the bridge ;
went towards the water and leaned upon the parapet
wall, receded one step, and with a large stick struck three
times upon a small mound of earth. This, and every
other circumstance, however trivial and minute, was rigidly
recorded by M. de Chamilli. The clock struck four, and
M. de Chamilli darted away in his carriage, to return
to his employer. He arrived within forty-eight hours, about
midnight, having travelled without intermission. lie de-
manded, as was agreed, an immediate audience, and seem-
ed quite vexed to have nothing more important to relate.—
The minister seized his paper, read it with hurrying eye,
and when he came to that part about the man in yellow clothes
striking thrice .upon the earth, he leaped for joy ! Chamilli was
dismissed with caresses. The minister went instantly to the
king, found him in bed, caused him to be immediately roused,
chatted with him for a quarter of an hour at the foot of his
bed, and on leaving him, dispatched four couriers who were at
hand, and who had been waiting several hours ready to start.
Eight days following, Strasbourgh was surrounded by French
troops, and surrendered to Louis on the 30th of Sept. 1681.
The magistrates had betrayed their trusts ; and the three bloi‘ •
with the stick was the signal which announced to Louvois that
the work of treachery was consummated."
