FOR SdLE BYsR GR,4Y,
"A cELESRATED ROMANCE ENTITLED
ABAELLINO,
THE BRAVO OF VENICE.
Translated from the German, by M. G.
Lewis, the well known author of the Castle
Spectre, Monk, Adelsitha, &c. sc. Price,
/ andsomely bound, one dollar-the English
edition sold at one dollar seventy FIVE cents.
What black Musician conjures up this hend!
What, do you tremble, are We all afraid
Alas, j blame ye not, for We are mortal,
And mortal eyes cannot endure the devil
Avaunt, thou dreadful Minister of He'll.
RICHARD III.
In Justice to this excellent Romance, we
need only remark, that the Grand Dramatic
piece, which for several seasons past drew
such tull houses to our theatre, IS founded On
the same subject, as translated by Dunlap;
but the acknowledged superiority of Lewis's
writings or translations in the Romance style,
being so far superior to any other of our mo-
Germ authors, leaves encomium unnecessary
with the publishers.
MORE. Five editions of this Romance were
sold in avery short time, after publication in
London is dedicated to the Earl of MORA,
by Lewis.

on the contrary by the 100 who sold them

I another proof that men who have betrlyed

OF these from Scotland In 1882, Mr.. PITT
declared that seven or eight members were
sent there by the Nabob of Arcot: and tina,
foreign enemy could procure party in
the British parli .ment. II appears from
a report laid upon he table Of the House of
Commons in June 1903, that 70 of its mem

The imperial parliament at present
contains oht 658 members, of whom j13

Inv tor the exclusion Of foreign yes

ton: that all further consideration
OF the subject BE- postponed until the
session of next c Congress.
This resolution he prefaced with the
following principles: that the RICH. to
admit an armed force into neutral
territory, belongs exclusively to the
neutral: that so long as thu neural
shall conine itself to strict impartiali-
~, !. e. allowing no benefit to one bel
ligerent which it has refused to ano-
Their, no cause whateveris Afforded f3r
complaint: and that treaties alone can
make any modification in the exercise
ofthis right.
That therefore as long as the u. S.
want competent force to protect their
jurisdiction from violation, so long
ought no asylum to be given Except
IN distress) to an armed vessel of any
nation. And that although the Uni-
ted States are at present un Ter No OBJ
legation whatever, to withhold res.
trainsts upon the admission of foreign
vessels into their ports ; yet as lie.
gi>lative interference at this time
might he construed into desire
OF throwing d faculties in the way of
pending negociations; that therefore
the committee are of opinion that no

DELAY.
