well that a free and Hourishing people
will offer more resources to their trade
than land, waste and deserted. They
know, in fine, that in these circumstances
commerce and Justice unite; and that their
interest cannot be in opposition to their

The censorship likewise struck out the
following Lines of Lord Byron's.
"For freedoms battle once begun.
Bequeath'd by bleeding sire to son,
Though baf,led oft, is ever won,
Bear witness, Greece, thy living page,
Attest it many deathless age!"

Have left nameless pyramid,

Hath swept the column from their tomb,
A mightier monument command,

rade. He did not visit Paris; but while
at Calais, on his return, his majesty was
waited upon by the Due d'Apgouleme,
at the Hotel Bourbon. The Inhabitants
Of Calais paid great respect to the Britt
ish King. Preparations were made for
a royal visit to the theatre. and every
part of it was crowded to excess; but
much to their disappointment, the King
embarked the same evening for the
fast anchored Isle. He was cheered in
the English style by multitudes assem-
bled at the pier where he embarked.

The manufactures through Scotland
