sequences, and never did a Coontry present a more
curious political. 3pectacle than France does at this

A multithde of rumours have been receraly set
afloat respecting the PritleesB CHARI,OTTR, the
Cittifie of her' rejecting the Prinee.of ()aautn, and
the prospectof her speedy marriage with another
Prince. We seldom pay attention to these mutt-
' thenticated goSsipitrgs. In, common 'with the
Country, ,we regret that the union with the Heir
to the Crown. of the Netherlands did not take
place, because it was peculiarly desireable. in
,a
political point or,iiew. Great Britain has la.
boured hard to advance that CoUntry in the

Tht honours paid to the Veteran Bluctign by

his toils'amd Victories merit such reward. But we
allude to this topic apt so much fir the sake of what

publioattention to %vile May aught to bedone

Tn which the peopla of this great Metropolis may

there is, and we are sore that it is only froM the
want of some means of euneers that a plan of

the second divisionof the regiment, ten days after

thing in the. place. They are worse off than our-
selves : all the officers have only three marquees
