A late English paper states that new novel,
entitled "William Douglass or the Scottish Ex.
lies" was on the eve of publication. Report
speaks very favourably Of the work, as posses
sing great historical interest, and exhibiting a
vivid portrait of the religious spirit of the times.
1t is said that the period which the author has
selected is during the reign Of Charles the Sec

mittee of the British parliament, that three of

cy that Woodstock succeeded the Royal Oak as
kingly hiding-place, we beg 10 notice that his
sacred majesty never approached that part ofthe

lanlsd interest, if he were called upon to de-
scribe it, he would say it was bill for the pro-
lection Of the landed INTEREST,"

gnage in parliament, which he would not e.
qually utter in any other place.
