Itappears that the late massacre, pur.
petrated at Bona, was retaliation of the
pnwos committed on the return of The
Bourbohs al Marseiiles, upon all the Nam.
eiukes and other people of the East who
happened to be in chat city.
A mock embassy has lately taken place
here, similar TO the embassy Of Siam, in the
reign of Louis XIV. an Armenian came
to Paris some time since upon commercial
business he was reg ,mended for that
purpose to the. Ottoman Minister, and the
Minister for foreign affairs. Suddenly il
was reported at Court, that the Persian en-
goy was here incognitO. The Armenian
ayaiing himself Of tie credulous dispositi-
on Gf tie Court, confessed that he had Sc.
cret mission, which he did not think il ne
cessary longer to conceal. Accordingly
he was received wiih great distinction by
The royal family, the princes in particular,

In some parts of Scotland and in Stat
iordshire, an instrument called brank is
used for correcting scolding women. 1t is
sort of head-piece which opens, and en-
closes the head OF the garrulous and impa-
tent female, whilst an iron, sharp as CHI
sci, enters the mouth, aud renders the bust
ling and noisy inmate, silent, peaceable &
mOtioniess. DIR. Plot has given plate Of
the instrument, which he calls Seeding
bride, When the lady is duly tanned by
it, she is lei i'll triumph though tie street,,
preceded by her rejoicing husband if she
has One) whose ears no longer tinglc with
the sharp tones other voice. DIR. Plot pre-.
fers this to the ducking stool, because he
says the woman who is exercised with this
stool, may scoId at regular intervals be.
tween each dip--but when adorned with
the scolding bride, the lady (nolens AIT
voleDs) must be silent. 1t Is Fortunate IN
Ireland there are no scOId5, and therefore
the women require no brank.
