To which his Royal Highness was graciously
to rpturn the following answer:-

with the Vnited States's! Ainerica to such a result, as °fords a
fair prospect at the speedy re-establishment of peace n ith that

WiviirOer may have been the calamities occasioned by the
extended .wartare in which we were .1) long engaged, they are
in no le,pect hoputahle to (;real Britain. It was the conviction
that sir care was jest, and that we were unavoidably contend-
iog lot all that was valuable to us as a nation. that produced
those extraordinary exertions, which, under the favour of Divine
Pro% id,•fice, coli.pletety frustrated the designs of our enemies,

friendly latertmerse between this kingdom and the countries
with which we base been at star, and to secure and improve all
the ad% amazes of peace.
They were all very graciously received, and had
the honour of kissing hi% Royal Highness's hand.

Our acknowledgments to the ancients are un-
doubtedly very great, but we are little indebted to
them for any hints oft the construction of private
apartments. The use of chimnies among the societal
was extremely scarce, though, by the testimony of
Fruetonius,,, Horace, and some nthets, they appear to
have been occasionally used in private spertmeatt—
Fires certainly form a very necessary part of any apart-
ment, from the cabin of the peasant to the palace of
the Prince, and a proper degree of warmth is neces-
sary, not only for comfort, but for the preservation of
life. It is a point, therefore, which requires cond.
derable Attention from the architect. There are rat-
does GUMS in which chimnies are constructed ; for
instance, in Russia they are placed in a corner of the
room, and in Venice they are brought up on the out-
side of the buildings.
Windows also claim great attention, with respect
to their situation or their magnitude and propor-
tion ; and it may be said, that a proper distribution
of light is as necessary for the comfort of the inhabi-
tants as that of heat. The young artist will do well
to study the. light which is introduced by a painter
into his apartment. The lurniere mysterieure, adopt-
ed by the French artists, produces a great effect in
the hands of a man of genius, but it is, unhappily,
little attended to by oar artists.

and windows are uniformly square, though in modern
productions they are frequently circular. With re-

To marry, or to marry not,
Is now A' importaut cpiestion
The very thought of which, I west,
Zia spoil a man's digesiiim.
If s;,,gie he remain per force,
He ° not free from trouble ;
For k•t him keep but one lame horse,
VAN makes lino curry dotifrle.

But if to wedlock he should coo,
His comforts to increase—
swooaxes he may shun,
11c may yet let no peace.
B. tween these hard alternatives,
How said hi. intuition—
The chance of fermata yranng
Or, choice of nude taxation.
