surely he cannot justify the bombardment of a
area'. and inoffensive town. We hope the Swift will
ike an example of him. --The Prussian Guards

Our limits compel us to leaie, this Gentleman at

strati probably have occasion to take up the
abject ag.tin, when we find him obtruding his
aimed generosity or his name upon the public.
The Pais Papers give but little real information
respecting the state of Paris or of France. Tq pri-
s letters we most look fist facts. on which the

~ndi press is compelled to observe silence ; but
ekre are often at variance in their statements. Not
sy days ago we were informed that the Prussians
'sere taking down the triumphal etch in the Place de
rowel, but it is still there with the horses on its top.
lir 01 the bab•reliels have been effaced, by orders of

Kist. Perhaps this operation gave rise to the
report that the whole was coming down.—lt was also
