thanked them for their courtesy. Sir WALTTO is to remain only a
few days. His physiognomy is very expressive, and is well given
by Commix. On looking at Sir Wavrea SCOTT, one cannot help

It is remarkable, that the inhabit.ints of ltoman
Catholic countries generally distinguish themselves from those who

Soma. The immense circle of Germany includes several states of
each different persuasion ; and any one may observe, upon entering
a Genet= village or town, infallible indications of the nature of the
prevailing belief. At the same time. as if to counterbalance this
