Of Brussels, q Memorialon the affairs;
Of Turkey, Of which . Journal Of that
CITY gives extracts. and which the Duke
Of Wellington is stated to have present
ed to the French government in the
name Of his court. The article in the

that the pretended state paper contains
things that are evidently Incorrect, but
vet finds in it many passages which are
worthy Of attention, even though they
may not deserve implicit credit. As
we know, from authentic quarters, that
The Memorial in question never existed,
that consequently all that the Brnsse y

correction for the sake ofthose who may
have been deceived by the article IN

must be observed, has by no means
