to get tinder the shelter of a tree, and what is

We art all heartily tired of the country, and every

The Spaniards, so far from being zealous or pa.

and seem to be very indifferent about whine go-

Some Interesting communications have been re.
ecived from Gottenburgh. It appears that Swetica
has consented to accale to the Confederacy of the
