was beneath his dignity 10 learn, when
he was ambassador among them. He

and imposing attitude, an attitude by
the way which will not always impose
upon the people either here or there.

statesman, contemplate branch Of your

SIR, there are propositions, now and
then 10 be met with, as you well know,
SO pre- -emlnently ridiculous, that one is
apt 10 pause, lest there should be some
secret, some mysterious meaning; lest

i. would appear, succumbed under the
annoyance of his pretensions, and with
out fathoming his understanding, you
took for granted that the shadows had
no soundings.
