AT dinner given by Mr.. Ware to the
Spanish Deputies, Lord Erskne, who was
present, commented very severely on the
toast lately received with such disapproba-
tion at a public meeting dislike as
much as any one" said the noble lord Sc ma
ny OF the measures that have been pursued
IN this country towards America !; but
would never propose in Champaign or Bur-
lgundy, to drink the health of that man who
refused our brave tars drop of water"
we are assured that his Wcstphaiian ma
Jesty, otherwise Jerome Bonaparte, hasfate-
ly sent a letter, sealed with his royal arms,
to the lady he married some years ago in
America. twas addressed TO her as "Miss
raterson, and was accompanied with Sc.
veral presents of cons derable value. In
ms letter he acquainted her, that his impe..
rial brother, Napoleon, having called him
to the kingly dignity, and reasons of state
having compelled him to give his hand 10 a
princess of the German empire, she must
no longer consider him in any other light
than as sovereign, unconnected with her
oy former ties This youngest representa-
tive OF the family destined by Providence TO
reign over Europe, may possibly, like his
orother Joseph, find himself ere long, in
situation TO induce Miss Paterson, rather to
congratulate herself, than TO regret that she
has not beenmade queen Of Westphalia.

circumstance of nature deeply interes-

IS substaniiated by the most incontroverti-

OF the disposition of the government of

SiciIes. " The President, end the Unifed
ISfates OF .dmcrica." was given from the
tcha'r and received with such ciamorous
marks OF drsepprobation, as to interrupt
the harmony of tile entertainments, until
another toast was given. Whether 90 the
President and United Siatesof America, ''
were drank or not, we are, from he Lon

offered as toast, until the petty po,cn-

offered. they were Kissed and hooted at a
public ministerial dinner, at which were
present Che cabinet ministers, we doubt
not, sancioning and abetting by their ex.
