k/OlitatthEk&
The follneving article is exttaifted from a late
Paris journal of the 27th ult.. Groupes of curi-
ous perfons affembled the day before yeflerday
around a Stots Highland Officer, who appealed
at the Tuilleties with a kilt (jute) that covered half
his thighs, and which to theta men fupplies the
place of breeches and pantaloons, adopted in the
reft of Europe. This coftume has fome refem-
bl.ace to the warlike drefs of the ancient Romans,
sad when the plaid is added to it appears veryeler
::ant. Tha Scots Highlanders teem very much
:ached to this old veftment, which, however, is
;::;.,24 only to men like them, accußomed to (up-
ruin the hatdfhips of a life Aiwa ravage, and the
ir temperance of the feafons. From their earned
ii:fancy they are habituated to the rnoft laborious
t.xercifes, and at a more advanced age they are
familiatlfed with every kind of fatigue. The levies
therefore railed among the mountains of Scotland,
in t se time of war, form the heft part of the land
and naval troops of Great Muhl, and the prefe-
rence which the Government gave to them when it
undertook the expedition to 'Egypt ; the care it
took to place at their head a General of their na-
tion, all indicate the high degree of confidence in-
fpired by foldiers capable of fupporting the great
Furth= of the war, and the influence of the mofi
deitruSive climates.

" We are acquainted with no people better calcu-
lated to endure the hardthips of life ar.d ftruggle
againft privations. They are confidered, and with
jutiice, in foreign countries, as models of patience
and ttlignation to their fate. The little progrefs
which eommereeandagriculturehave made among
them ; fome vices in their legiflation, fuch as the
tight of fuccerfion granted excluftvely to the eldell
fbn ; the facility with which the youth of an Wand,
frequented by a great number of foreigners, can ex-
patriate themfelves, and i multitude of other par-
ticular eaten, have given to the Scots the reputa-
tion of adventurers; but thole who have had the
belt cpportunity of examining their charaSer tho-
roughly, both at home and abroad, know that
they are bold and enterprifmg, and that their na-
tural difpofition and good morals are a furety for
their condat to thofe nations among whom they
receive hofpitality. When in a Rate of mediocrity,
they impofe on themfelves the molt auftere priva-
Com, and never purfue illegal means to emerge
from their mifery. Murder, robbery, and perjury,
ate crimes alma entirely unknown among them.
Towards each other they obfcrve inviolable fide-
lity, wanes the death of Portcus, who was hung
by the mob in 1736, in contempt of the laws and
the government ; and, in the multi of ao,ooo per-
fogs; a to vl.rd of fool. was in vain promifed to
thole Who we uld give any information of thole
ssLo had been concerned in this violation of the
laws, but not one voice was heard to accufe the
a Khan:. The fufpicions of Government hovered
over them, and they were brought before the tri-
bunals, hut not one individual was tempted by
tliis great reward. The fidelity of the Scots High-
landers was put to a proof no lets fey-re, when the
voung Pretender took fh•lter among them after
his defeat at the memorable battle of Culloden.—
if any inc•Tveniencies are attached to this un-
lhakcn fiumnefs of charafter,.with what tecurity
may not the King and Government, to whom they
have fwor a fidelity, entrull their deftiny to fuch a
No:4e ?"

Another detachment of the Guards marched
into town yeflerday (of the 3d regititent) from
their embarkation from Egypt. They were mart
warmly greeted by the multitude who affembkd
to witnefs thcir return.

The Hkbiessd Said/ have agreed to prefent to

morating their tnumph over BONAPARTZ'S

sates medals of Myer.

If London continues to advance in extent and ,
magnificence equal to what it has done within
there few years pall, tee old Englifh jingle, re.

The liccntioufnefs of our female coftume, lays
a letter from Paris, and the libertinifm it provokes
in the other fee, are equally ditgußing. At the
Thuilleries it alfumes Tome difguife ; but at the
Speetacles, and in private focieues, you fee a naked
difplay of charms which leave nothing to conjec-
ture. The arms, to the very shoulder, and the
whole of the bottim are en whim and the ref of
the perfon is dißinaly viable through the woven
wind that plays about it. There fair fafhionables
are called the Econoatifts and the Rionfortfiennet,
becaufe, like the Roves of that Philanthropill, they
contrive to create the greateß 'poffitile heat with
tic fmalleli pollible quantity of materials. The
chains, however, the aigrettes, efprits, combs,
kr,deaux, and tiaras of diamonds, lead one very
much to doubt the principle of fo much parfimony
in cloathing. One Would rather tape& that this
naltednets Lien aware was the great fecret of being
diefl'ed as one pleated, and that.one had an hun-
dred-fold credit at the jeweller's for whatever was
far d d from the triantua.maker.

Fees-
sesles the IL King of Proffia, had one of them,
reprefenting a worth ofsweitilry, painted on copper.
and incrufted in a double cafe gold watch. he nfed
to wear, till be gave it to a foldier, by whom he
palled one day, as the man was on guard at the
palace. The King having remarked that be wore
a ..vatch, and doubtful whether his own was fet
right, flopped and afked him, what o'clock it was?
which gelation threw the foldier into confufion,who
vt,re only a watch chain, and had no watch; bat
loon recovering, he pulled oat a mufket.ball, to
which the chain was fixed, and laid, " My watch,
Sire, does not tell the hour, bat reminds me, that
it ii my duty to die fighting in the ferrite of your
ffajefty." " A keret was, lobo employs hit time fo,:
(Virgin to bow hem time pa," replied the King,
and he gave the feather bia own watch.
