was introduced by Viscount Palmerston. Prince Lieven sent
one of his carriages to the Clarendon Hotel to convey him to

neighbours looking m ntn,,er
in the vigour of manhood, with what our Parisian
"un air distingue." His Excellency discus.
barked from the Surinam steamer, at Gravesend, on Tuesday
afternoon, at four o'clock, and shortly after travelled post to the
metropolis, where apartments at the Clarendon had been pre.
pared for his reception. Baron Brunow, we understand, is the
