NewsVlyer% have often been stigmatised for the

but the condua of those who censured us, relative

of the cflosure which has been apr.lied to us; but
our only fault was in 113Ving a priority of infer,,

It•is quite surprising that lioicottlatre, as he
now 'assume, the language of Sovereignty, not
affeft something of that -dignity of sentiment by
which Sovereignty is best adorned. To say no.
thing of the injustice of detaining such of our
Countrymen in France as are not the legitimate
Prisoners of War, the illiberality and meanness of
his conducl, in. this respeet, spews a little mind, and
must raise the contempt of every Potentate with
whom he would fain be on a level, or over whom,
indeed, he aspires at superiority. This aEtion of
his life will be branded by the Historian, as it
proves that the Usurper is as mean as he is atrocious.
DESSALINES has done wisely in laying some re.
striCtian upon the importation of :piths into his
new dominions, though it may be doubted whether
he will be able to maintain his.lmpriot Hate when
his subjeas recover from intoxication.
A very important alteration has taken place in
the dress- of the Swedish'Army, which is stated, in
a Letter from Stockholm, to have arisen from the
following ludicrous circumstance :—" The Countess
of GuLDENKIND, celebrated for her wit and beau.
ty, dining at the King's table at Stralsund, in cam.
parry. with Col. Du STURE, who had an uneotu.
manly fine head of hair, made many pleasant re.
marks upon the inconvenience of such a part of dress
to a Soldier. After dinner she placed herself be-
hind the Count's chair, with a pair of scissars, and
solicited, by signs, His Majesty's approbation to
tv!•at the was about to dr. The King, at length,
nodded assent, and the fine hair of Colonel DE
STUIR was immediately severed from his head ;
next Morning it was given'out in General Orders,
that the whole Swedish Army should, in future, wear
the hair short."

Two of the wealthiest Jew families at Breslau
embraced Christianity a short time since.

The following circumstance is related in the•
French Papers, as having occurred early in Decem.
ber, at Nordkooping, in Sweden :—The Governor
of that City gave an entertainment, to which every
person of distindi :n in the place was invited.—
Among the company there was a Lady of great
beauty and accomplishments, but remarkable for
her excessive jealousy of her husband, who is a Cap.
tain of Dragoons. In the course of the evening it
was proposed to aft a piece, and Pyramus and
Thisbe" was chosen'. A very charming young Lady,
of sixteen, desired to perform the part of Thisbe,
and that of Pit-alma was assigned to the Captain,
who played with so much ardour as to excite the
jealousy of his wife. She watched his every ges.
tore ; and in the scene where the lovers determine
to elope, the young Lady, not recolleaing, pro.
bably, that in the original story &in envious wall
prevents their embraces, thought that the repre.
sentation would be Much mere natural, if Pyramus
were to receive, without interruption, a few kisses
from the impassioned Thisbe. Pyramus unfortunate.
ly appeared to receive, with extreme sat,isfaCtion,
the of his dear' Thisbe. The married Lady
immediately snatched a knife, which one of the Per.
formers wore as a dagger, and stabbed the unfot.
tunate young ;woman.. She afterwards rushed at
her husband, with the intention of stabbing him
Also; but her, design was luckily frustrated. She
then attempted to stab herself ; but the knife was
wrested from her, and she was secured. The wuond
which the young Lady received is luckily: not
dangerous ; the husband the next day appliedlor a
divorce, and the jealous quire is, in the interim,
gidly guarded.
On Friday morning a cartel from the, Texel,
with about, tt z English prisoners, who had been
coofined in different prisons in Holland, landed at

AtiECDOTE OF MORL4ND Tug PAINTER,-11ilcir.
land on his return to town from Deal, where he had '
been to make sketches along the coast, travelled on
loot, accompanied by his brether.inelaw, Mr. Wit.
liams, the Engraver. They had proceeded a short
distance from Canterbury, when 'Worland intimated
the clamorous demand made by his craving appetite
for ithesliment, hut how to procure the necessary
fart became a btlbjea. Of `consideration, us both our
travellers, in consequence of extravagance the pre.
ceding evening, were pennyless. Morland, how..
ever, who was seldom at a loss to obtain introduc-
tion into an ale:house, quickly hit upon an expedient
to serve the purpose :—Observing a low.built house
by the road side, over which hung a figure designed
for a Bull, he entered, and under,. pretence of
quiring his way, cmilinenced a conversation with
the landlord, expressing his surprise the latter did
did not renew his sign, . which time dusti nearly de.
faced. The host stated his inabilty to get it re.
paired, and observed it was gond enough to grace
his humble habitation ; but on the ofrer of Mariana
to paint him a new one for five shillings, he con.:
sensed, and ordered the Artist to try .his skill. A
fresh difficulty, however, occurede--Morland was
without utensils; and the sign could, not be painted
unless the landlord dispatched a servant to purchase
colours, See. at Cantctbury, which he was after
much persuasion, prevailed upon to do ; in the mean
time the Painter bespoke a dinner, and the travellers
drank several piichets of good. ale, with a propor-
tionable quantity of. 'spirits, the charge for which
could only be defrayed by painting the sign ; their
reckoning, however, by the time the Bull was done,
,dtaibled the stipulated five shillings ; but Morland
paeilitql the enraged landlord (who reluctantly suffer.
eel them to depart) by describing who he was, and
promising to erdl on future day and pay the ba.
lance. On arrival in town Morland related
this adventure aumg his friends at rho:
WAD, Fleet.atteet, and the singularity of it indue.
eel a Gentlernan; who possessed the highest venera.
Lion for the Paintees .prodoCtion*, to set off ptiVitte.
Iy in snatch of, the Canterbury Bull, which he pure
chased of the laodlord for ten guineas, and finding it
answer his moat same itie expettationsi placed i+ its
his cabioet, where it now temains, cuosiderett is,
valuable acquisition.
