PARTISAN ANEcDOrE.

A French gentleman Of fashions, a
few days ago, laid a. bet that he would
assemble a crowd of above hundred
persons, in one of the Boulevards. in
less than ten minutes, round tree
that he would point out.-A st.anger
Immediately cried out, " DONE" The
Partisan buck wrote upon the back OF
letter;
f" Passsrs by! I think you are all
fools.
.and I am the greatest foot among
you."
This placard was stuck against the
tree with four pins.-First Of all came
up an old fellow with his spectscles,
next a governess. with two children,
then an opera dancer, three invalid
officers, five milliners. one lady in a
mcrino pelisse, two in cashmere shawls,
three with their witzehouras wrap
ned around them-two Englishmcn
On horseback, and acountry gentle
man in hackney coach-a milliner
in her gig, a marchioness in an open
carriage, a doctor in his sulky COT
fee House walters, money changers,
and livery stable keepers two, sa-
voyards, two water carriers. seller
of spectacles, carrier Of letters be-
longing to the post Office. &c. At
length the crowd became so great
that there was no crossing the Boule-
vard-The paper was placed rather
low, so that one stopped in order to
read below his neighbours shoulders.
One thought it was a beggar-oth-
ers that it was a wsman IN a fit-a
third that it was some poor dog who
had his tail or ears cut--a fourth
That a monkey had made its escape
from Sasoyard-Every body's ina
xiuation was at work.-NOne guess
ed right-and instead of 100 dupes
there were one thousand.-The punch
and ice that composed the bet, we're
now about to be distributed at the ex-
pense of the strangers-when an old
woman in a ft Of i'll humoar, snatch

I. will be recollccted that we lately
sent the Congress frigate to Hayti, with

have terminated unfavorably, owing to
want Of formality or diplomatique Ell.

in " brief authority" stand up for every
point with as much formality as their le-
gitinlate brethren 1ho form the redUubt-

look at position, character, talents and
decisiop,. their claims are much better
founded for sovereignty than many OF
those who have subscribed to the " holy
