through the ice, and our concentrated essence
OF calorlc was found to be of u very inferior
quality
Lady ID. All, then, um afraid Won did mo,
get 1t at the right place.
Lora II. But nm about to build new non
yacht, and shall try it again next summer. Is.
Lazy ID. Il believe we shall 90 10 Soi,zber-
lgcn ourselves
L0dy ID. Have you seen Sir james Lately ,
Lord H. lie quilted us only few minutes
before we had the pleasure of finding you here.
Lddy ID. wish you would scold him Tor
me; sent him an invitation to dine Yesterday.
and lie never came.
.hr. {. think heard him say that he was
invited for tonight.
Lady d. All then, I understand the reason
The fault is not his The fac, is that nv an.
tomaton note writer does make sucb Dir, ,dr,,I
mistakes that / must really have him tal en- 70
pieces. 10 you know what he did the other
DAY send note of coincidence instead of con-
graduation! and it on the event of old
Lord Batterseas marriage with that little frt.
Miss PiPkinson. Nothing could have been
| more unfortunate. [ dare say am suspected
OF having done it on purpose.
Lord "A. Pray have you heard the Presidents
speech at the opening of the Parliament at Ma
drid 1t Is in spirit more favorable TO the
Catholics than the last. The debates in the
last session OF the Spanish Parliament ON the
question of granting emancipation to the small
remnant of their Catholics, bore n remarkable
resemblance Tn pf ,vb; nl
in this country on similar question during the
reign of George the Fourth
mir. {, have heard it remarked their speak
ers seem TO have been all plagiarsts. But
where did you see the Presidents speech
Lord II. In a six hourly paper that was pub
! mslied about two hours ago
Mr.. c. sAh you have the advantage. NV
paper is half daily one believe | must
leave it off. One never knows news till it is
old.
Lord a. Very true, q half daily paper leaves
one several hours in arrears But after all,
nothing that appears in print can derserve the
name of news. The only satisfactory intclli-
gence one receives is by letter
-ar. C.. Certainly, agree with you, and ap.
proPos Gas the hackney coachmen say appro-
pose OF letters. l received one this morning
from a friend in Moscow. 1t was written the
day before yesterday, and contains piece ofin-
formation that is not generally known at pre-
sent. My friend says, that they had received
intelligence of an Instruction HAVING broken
out in Turkey
Lady ID. Turkey, where is that
Mr. Z. 1T one of the southern provinces of
Russia. The instruction is supposed to have
originated among the remnant of an ancient
sect called Mahoinctans and to have been Sc
cretly fomentcd by those seditious Jewelers., the
Austrians Those restless mortals are like the
old French Jacobins; not content with revolu-
tonlzing themselves, they wish to carry their
perniclors doctrines into every other country.
LORD ii. Aye, wish they would initiate the
steady monarchial government of America
Talking of America, reminds me of n letter |
lately received from my friend the Duke of Mas
sachusetts. He gives n curious account of
visit which the king of Canada paid to his ma
jesty Jonathan tho Third at WASHINGTON. War
is expected between those two powers and the
king of Carolina. They can never remain at
peace long. There is perpetual jealousy be-
tween those North American Kingdoms.
Mr. {. War is also expected in the East
The Emperor of India, the Burmese Republic.
and the King Of Borneo and Sumatra have en-.
tered into alliance to resist the aggressiors of
Australia. AS neither New Zealand nor Tas.
mania are very friendly to The Australians. 1T is
thought the latter must come to terms. II
would be singular if war should break out nj
| tho snmn firno IN two opposite quarters of the
globe, among n set Of nations all of whom
speak English
Lord II. True, but you must remember, that
with the exception of few countries in our lit
| tie Europe which retain their original langnar-
es, almost all the greatest nations do speak Eng
lish. 1t is the language of three fourths OF
Asia, nine teDths of North America, half of Az.
RIGA, and all the insular states in the South
Seas.
.Wr. c. And this little kingdom, with n pop
ulation Of not more than forty millions, has had
the honor of colonzing half the globe?
Lori a. True, and at a time, when our pop
ulation was not much more than half what il is
now.
Mr.. C. 1t is a gratifying reflection.
Lddy ID. Might not one say notifying
one ?" These countries arc our colonies no
longer. How powerful we should have been il
we had retained them.
Lord A. Perhaps, Lady ID. not much more
: powerful than we are at present. might almost
say perhaps not so powerful. lf we look into
: history we find that when the United States OF
America las they ware formerly cacd) when
Canada, India, & Australia successfully fell from
our grasp, at each time the most ruinous con-
sequences were anticipated, and at each time
each fancied disaster was found to be tho oreruner
Of increased prosperity. There seems to be
certain limits, beyond which 10 nation can ex.
tend itself without incurring The danger Of dia
