has b-ec lately listed by ore Of those i~mpudent
swindlers who often carry every Thing before
them at the watering places by strn.ing tneetii-
err lies about their condition in lie. which 0rdina-
ry means will often fail IN detecting. The al.
v%enturer alluded to on this occasion exercised his
ingenuity so dexterously, as to fix himself IN an
extensive and elegant acquaintance IN the town.
He is all Englishman, but represented himseii as
a Colonel in the Russian service, come here to
arrange some family affairs thrown into confusion
by the death of an old uncle, who died Intcstate.
He was full of Russian Anecdotes, ard boosted
ofan intimacy with the duke of Deyonsliire, whom
he described as a Id liberal good fellow. to
whom the British government were under great
obligations for the early information he was IN the
habit of communicating on Russian affairs, facl-
lities being afforded TO him by his intimacy with
Count Dlebitsch. Nobody doubted the veracity
of the Colonel until he thought proper to give a
finishing stroke 10 his Importance. by the intro
duction of a Polish Princess. and then his for
tunes suddenly gave way, aud his elegant asso-
ciates found they were the dupes of a regular
..victimizer." As he progressed in the good
opinion of those whose circle he graced. he at one
time threw a party of refor,ners into dismay by
telling them that his friend, lord John Russell.

Bill would be mulsd in the lords, An intimaiion
with which he was not a little pleased, as, although
he loved a little reform, to prevent the brawling
of the multitude, he did not like to see property.

among misread and vulgar robbers. After hav-
ing excited CONSERVATION of this kind, he joined
a whist party, and astonis,ed them in another
way. In the management of the cards consist
ed his peculiar excellence. He had a most grace
full way of shutting, which he called c~ombiog,
and he won with so kind and obliging an Dir, that
even those who were losing took pleasure IN see
ing him scomb." When engaged in this recrea.
