The speech of this gentleman, whicI
we published on Friday, like all h;
speeches, displays a manly and fearlcs
in spirit, great knowledge Of character
or and mastery ofthe most dreaded wenr
e, ons Of oratory. The character Of IN
lis Russian minister is taken off to the Iii

ed all, the stripes inflicted on the Gran
" Vizier Of the Palace---the Oliver
n Diable Of a master, who possesses tn
ch ferocity without the redeeming abilitie
e. of Louis the XI--the castigatioh o
of this minion, who has dared to Intro
