IMIGRATION.

11le various direttions which Emigration front
t4i3 Country has taken since the commencement
of the present Peace, *tfords'a curious and inte-
resting illustration of the facility with to.ich ou
vountrymen can be induced to embark in ,he most
r4Portant undertakings, without consideration or

lcf what can we look for relief, but to Etnigra-

them of the danger of emigrating without !neaps
