don. •Thirf are remarkable for that vagueness of
phraseology so usual to 'courtly productions, and
nothing more. The answer of the French King is
the only one which presents an approach to some-
thing like a distinct meaning. His Majesty says,

his sentence, in the vicinity of Manheim, on the 20th
instant. He wished to harangue the speitators, but
was not allowed, and contented himself with saying,
that he died for his country. He shewed great calm-
ness, and would not accept the assistance of any Mi-
nister of religion. A number of students from Heidel-
berg, who intended to be present at the execution,
'did not arrive till the executioner was exhibiting the
head severed from the body. Several of them dipped
their handkerchiefs in his blood. The unfortunate
victim was dressed in what is called the Germanic cos-
tume.—French Five per Cents. Thursday. 74 f. 40c.
