The kel'of the Englittusoin, though often inteofe,
is commonly influenced by fume fecondat y conti.
deration, fuch acriches, convenience, or the benefit
of a refpeaable connettion. The North Briton loves
a bonnie iafie dearly, and his affeetion is not diminilbed
by wealth; while the Hibernian, though, often re-
proached as a fortune-hunter, generally loves his
mattes for her beauty and accomplifhments.
The frimilbip of the Englifhman is cordial •and
nfiftent ; the Seotfman is alto a.fincere friend ; the
friendibip of the Minoan, though more fervid, is
like the blaze of a taper. too often liable to be ex
tinguitked by the firillgutt of his anger.
In titian, the Englilhman is as fyftematic as io
the regustrion of his bnfinefs ; the Stotfman is. Mill

Captain, gave tome orders upon the quarter
which thevtlack pilot conceived to be an infringement
of his privilege ; he therefore calmly tapped Sir
jest's on the (boulder, and laid, " Mafia, you no
peek here." The Captain felt the force of ?Amigo's
obfervation, and, to the altonithment of thole ac-
quainted with the danger of navigating through
Nell Gates, the (hip was taken fafe to Sandy Hook.
The addition of the EIPIII/411111T to bird Howe's
littre Beet was loch a reinforcement at that crifis that
his Lorcifkip rewarded the Pilot with a penfion of Sol.
