Bells (London) Weekly Messenger is much
dissatisfied with the new alliance of Great Bri
tain, France, Spain and Portugal. Itsays-
"The Quadruple Treaty as it is now under
stood, and is now regarded by all Europe how.
ever conformable with French views and French
interests, is decidedly at variance with all
the principles of our ancient diplomacy and
is as great change, not to say reform, in
our system Of national intercourse, as our
parliamentary revolution is in our popular
representation. 1t renders us brethren with
Frenchmen and strangers, and foreigners with
Holland and Prussia, and the protestant states
OF Germany. 1t makes Portugal fear us, and
all the governments Of Europe distrust US. 1t
confirms the principle of innovation and insur
rection and anarchical changes throughout all
the continent. 1t loosens establishments, unset
ues opinions, and weakens the salutary authority
of prescription and ancient constitutions all the
world over"

A Mistake.-As soon as the nomination of Mr.

markable for the correct principles of its citi

the occasion, and forthwith goodly sized can

re-charged with great rapidity, and every de-
monstration of joy; the windows of many hous-
es were also illuminated. In the midst of this
jollihcation, Martin Van Buren, drove into the
town, and had his horses put up. Shortly after
wards, friend called on the Vice President to
pay his respects After the salutations were
over Mr.. Van Buren, proceeded to express his
feelings-"I am greatly pained," said he, "that
our friends should have thought it necessary to
make such a demonstration Of feeling on my
arrival, or that they should have deemed my
poor services worthy of such reward"
The friend sat uneasy in his chair. looked out
of the window, and bowed as gracefully as cir
cumstances would permit; meantime, the little
cannon was popping away at great rate. Mr..
