THE BALCONY.

In the Hall of Ambassadors, at the central
window, there is BALCONY of which have al
ready made mention. 1t projects like cage
from the face Of the tower high in mid air, above
the tops of the trees that grow on the steep hill
side. 1t answers me as kind OF Observ atUry,
where often take my seat to consider, not mere
" the heavens above, but the ''earth beneath. "
Beside the magnificent prospect which it com.
mands. Of mountains, valley and Vega, there Is bu-
sy little scene of human life laid open to inspection
immediately below. At the foot of the hill is an al
media or public walk, which, though not so ia.
shionable as the more modern and splendid paseo
of the Xeni, still boasts varied and picturesque
concourse, especially on holy days and SUNDAYS
Hither resort the small gentry Of the suburbs, to-
gether with priests and friars who walk for ap-
petite and digestion; majos and majas, the beaux
and bellies of the lower classes in their Andalusi-
an dresses; staggering contrabandistas, and
sometimes half muf1ed and mysterious loungers
of the higher ranks on some silent designation.
tits moving picture Of Spanish life which |
delight to study, and as the naturalist has his mi.
croscope to assist him in his curious investiga.
tons, so have small pocket telescope which
brings the countenances Of the motley groupes
so close as almost at times to make me think can
divine their conversation by the play and express
SION of their features. l am thus, in manner,

solitude, can throw myself in an instant into the

er for prosperous waytaring across the Sierra.
And now steals forth with fairy foot the gentle
Sonora, in trim busquiaa; with fan in hand and
dark eve flashing from beneath her gracefully
folded mantilia. She seeks some we'll frequent
ed church to offer up her prisons; but the nicely
adjusted dress; the dainty shoe and cobweo
stocking; the raven tresses scrupulousy braided
the fresh pluoked rose that CLEANS among them
like gem, show that earth divides with heaven
the empire Of her thoughts. -.
As the morning advances, the din Of labor aug
ments on every side; the streets are thronged
with man and steed, and beast Of burden; the
universal movement produces hum and muir
mur like the surges Of the ocean. As the sun
ascends to his meridian, the hum and hustle gra-
dualy decline; at the height of noon there is a
pause; the painting city sinks into lassitude, and
for several hours there is general repose. The
windows are closed, the curtains drawn; the in
habitants retired into the coolest recesses OF their
mansions The fulfilled monk snores in his dor
mtory The brawny porter lies stretched OIL the
pavement beside his burden. The peasant and
the laborer sleep beneath the trees of the Alamo
da, luIled by the sultry chrping of the locust
The streets are deserted except by the water
carrier, who refreshes the ear by proclaiming the
merits of his sparkling beverage" Colder than
mountain snow"
As the sun declines, there is again gradual
revivins. and when the vesper bell rings out his
sinking knell all nature seems TO rejoice that the
tyrant of the day has fallen.
Now begins the hustle of enjoyment. The CT:
tlzens pour forth to breathe the evening air, and
revel away the brief twilight in the walks and
gardens of the Darro and the Xeni.
AS the night closes, the motley scene assumes
new features. Light after light gradually twin
kles forth; here a taper from balconied window;
there vo,ive lamp before the image Of saint.
Thus by degrees the city emerges from the per.
vading gloom, and sparkes with scattered lights
like the starry armament. Now break forth
from court, and garden, and street, and lane. the
tiDkling of innumerabIe guitars and the clicking
of castanets, blending, at this lofty height. in
faint and general concert ENJOY the mo-
ment,'' is tie creed of the gay and amorous An
dalusian, and at no time does he practice 1t more
zeaIous'y than IN the baImy nights OF summer,
wooing his mistress with the dance, the love dit

night after the arrival of the Lexington, before

Mr.. Vernet has given notice through the pub
lie press of Buenos Ayres. that he shall publish
a statement of all the circumstances connected
with the case. to prove how scrupulously he act
ed. and that nothing has been done but what was
perfectly justi6able on his part.
The Government of Buenos Ayres is far from
persuading itself. that that of the United States
can approve conduct SO opposed to the rights OF
cations, and contrary to the good understanding
existing between both Republics. By the last
Message Of the President of the United States to
Congress, it appears that he IS about to send
Minister to this Government, who will remove
any difficulty or doubts that may have arises'
The Government trusts that all will be AMIGA
bly, arranged, and that the rights Of the nation it
is charged to defend will be preserved. and wor-
thiy sustained.
