how 10 be any thing hat a plain honest re-

Would not you think, gentlemen most Ike

tainly-gentlemen are never SO strong as when
their stomachs are full i; and after good
glass of wine, gentlemen get rich and brave
Notwithstanding all these cheering advanta-
ges, Monsieur Goddam was still thinking about
the lost honor, of his +" MASTER" by his getting
chair No. 2, instead of chair No. caused
him TO make remark, rather rough for the
sllken ears ofMonsleur Parlezvous--whereup-
on they both in presence of the President, or
His Majesty" Z" as the case may be-" rose
and retired to the large room next the outward
door--a noble place for athletic exercises--as
/" guess" sixty by forty feet square. Nlon
s!eur Parlczvous, drew-noth his sword for that,
he only touched the hilt of, with his hand--as
was saying, drew his fingers all up into ii
Knot, and shaking his arm with violence, said
to Monsieur Goddam with vehemence, that
he perfectly understood him, he could not be
mstaken-and that he would not suffer any
person, (that lying jade fame, said he used the
term d Englishman, but that can't BEL
TO insult him, France, or Frcnchnen SO
take notice, sir, bite my thumb at you.-
Monsieur GOdjam was very s. COOL" and
told the gentleman, that he was ready to
justify what he had said, and sir, said he, |
bite my thumb at you-well he might, you
know; people of his country, are quite " at
home" at that sort of play.
Fortunately for the gentlemen, the repre-
sentative of the " Dcliverer got at that mo-
ment between them, and by the assistance of
:" LIE Baron, de swede," probably prevented
-, from taking John Bull blythe horns-
w hich might perhaps have turned out ano-
Their Waterloo, as John is Il young looking
man, and appears quite supple, consequently
Monsieur would have found it more difficult
JOB, To nave held him by the horns, than if it
mad been his predecessor. Tins fart trans
action took place in English, but as the balance
happened IN French, my informant, though
an eye witness, not understanding that lingo,
came away and left the gentlemen. 1t is said
though, that the Secretary of State, has
been ever since negotiating treaty, and AS
there Is no more Texas to cede away, it will
not be material TO the interests ofthis country.

Last winter, one night,-only for one night
MIR. President " His Majesty "-whlcIl
ever term is used in the Secretary of States
inestlmable document upon etiquette, had Il
military guard at his door, which was thought
premature, however earnestly it might have
been desired by him." but as things have turn
ed out, II would seem To be, not altogether 50
much so. Nevertheless he was pretty safe,
us 1t Is believed the Secretary of the Depart
ment of Mars was there-who is g sd lang, 81,
sharp, sa sGla--like cheve o'br:,,v he
might dart through the gentlemen, like small
sword-and then you know, there was that
big strong man, whom the President has piac-
ed at the door of the Treasury, that might be
very good upon an occasion of that kind
moreover Just as the amusements were about
to commence, the Navy padded oil, believing
Frgate however well manned, had no busI-

Some people have thought Congress ought
to provide military guard, for the President,
to keep the peace, whenever it is necessary to
give another diplomatic dinner - but others
believe the Radicals in the House, would be
unwilling to encounter the expense, AS they
are already displeased at the too lavish expen-
diture of public money, and the Prodigals
could not succeed without them.
.Nofa 6ene. Etiquette this morning saws
the gentlemen cannot so out, until further add
vices but their attaches (Which they tell me,
means tails y may probably t" take a bout."-
Dad you ever know foreign ministers, were
like electric eels,to fight with their tails? But
that Is the etiquette To-day, and whether it is

on that subject, have not learned when |
