name, we are left 20 conjecture who this re-

compared him; bu, as he must be hero, (of

Thi. .upposi,ion Is the more probable, when
we ref.c, tina, the name Andye,o is from Greek

identity of the comparison are irrefragibly true;
and that il eannot mean any other Jack, than
the aforesaid famous Jack the giant kiRer.-
These anagiam., Messrs. Editors, are curious
things by.the-bye, for in making the transpo-

his escu,c heon forever. "What mighty things
from little causes spring" Had Lord nelson
