PHILIP-AuGusTus.--This monarch, after
whom Mr. JAMES'S new novel is named, it will he remem-
bered, derived the most effective assistance from hints to 1.
while in the Holy Land, in the reduction of Acre. His
after-differences with the English King—his successes over
the English in Normandy, in violation of his oath to the
" lion-hearted" Crusader—his divorce from the Princess
of DENMARK—his new marriage and excommunication
by the POPE-and his campaigns against the weak-
minded King Jori N—afford rich subjects for the pen of
this popular novelist, and we think the author of " Darn-
ley" and " De l'Orme" has done adequate justice to them.

A curious mistake appears in The Sun news-
paper of yesterday evening, which, unintentionally and in
the hurry of business, has prefixed the name of the Morn-
ing Advertiser to an article copied from the Morning
Post. The article commences thus :—" The revolutionist
press continues its ineffectual labours to keep up the
furious excitement of the lower orders," &c. Its whole
tenor is so contrary to the politics of the Morning Ad-
vertiser, that we deem it necessary, for the credit of the
paper, to disclaim the article and its furious doctrines alto-
gether.—Morning Advertiser.

Exchequer processes have been issued against
tradesmen both in Bath and Bristol for giving receipts on
unstamped paper.

We understand an arrangement has been en-
tered into by Mr. YOUNG with the proprietors of Covent
Garden Theatr., for the purpose of repeating a certain
number of his most popular characters, previous to his
taking is final leave of the stage.

ABYSSINIA.—.Since the tittle of the adven-
turous Baucx, the half-christianised, half-savage Abyssi-
nians have excited a powerful interest among civilized na-
tions. That interest kept alive by the more recent works
of the present Earl of MOUNTNORRIS and Mr. SALT, must
be infinitely strengthened by the " Life and Adventures of
NATHANIEL PEARCE" (whose name is well known in
connection with those two distinguished individuals), an-
nounced for immediate publication.
