Alien, the protection of the BMA G q
ku would come othcially under .'t cogniaanie of
the Secretary of State fur the Home Department.
Bet whatever may have been the object of his
escape, the statements in the French Papers seem,
to leave it in still greater obscurity...than that in
which it was before involved.

I
CVs are happy its announcing that the exchange
of Prisoners between this Country and France is
still going actively ou. Sir GRENVILLK Tiotrie
and Family, with several others, were on Friday
last lauded at Dover, from on board a neutral,
bound front Havre de Grace to London, with
corn.

IT will be seen by an article in the French Pa..
'tiers, that DENMARK is anticipated as the new
heir to the Crown of SWEDEN. No dOilht, this
would greatly forward the views of FRANCE
against this country ; and we should nut wonder to
sec the event happen-according to the prediction.

WE this day insert, from an American Paper,
an interesting article relative to the proceedings in
-the Viceregal Government of Mexico, on the
Americans refusing to receive an Ambassador in
the mime of Fiatoi NAND VII.

Tut proceedings of the Home Secretary upon
'an application from Lord IIoLLANn, a Peer and
Privy Counsellor, to know whet he might, at a
private Levee, be permitted to present a Petition to
his MAJESTY from the town of Nottingham, are
singular. Mr. RYDER states, ale since public• Le-
vees had been discontinued, " no persOn had been ad.
milted to• private Levees for the purpose of re.
smiting a Petition or Address." Now, without
meaning to dispute about words, we ask whether
it was not at a private Leve.e. that Lord CHATHAM
(a Peer and Privy Counsellor likewise)• presented
his Address or Statement respecting the Widelie-
ren Expedition ?—and whether, if he had requested
of his brother Ministers leave to present such
Addros4; they would have " precluded him
previous intimation from delivering either his own
.;
Address, or that grassy legal body of his 314/sts-
TIOS subjects, taro Isis own hands

We have already informed our Readers that a

anxiety—that the artist may be visited, with

This has been the case with Mr. NORTHCOTE'S
portrait of Sir FRANCIS 1317RDETT. NU friend' to
the art, and no admirer of Sir Fnazicts, can wish
for a finer picture. Of the former portraitatif
the Baronet, there was but one that caught awy.
thing of the real chancier of hits features ; and
that was inadequate in expression. Some of those
portraits were actually a libel on Sir Faasets,
arid ought to have been burnt as soon as paintiel.
A happy effort was, therefore, more wanting in
this case then in any other, of portraits of emi-
nent men, and now the public will be gratified
with the very wish they had long formed. Mr.
Nonvntove's portrait of Sir FRANCIS is a half.

with his hands, one above the other, testing on

correctness and vigour of the painting in the head
and features. It is common-place to say so,
but the words expre.s the truth of the matter—.
the picture is life itself. The firmness and ele-
