in person or Accomplishments, with Col James Wat
Webb. And Cor this unreasonable line Of con-
duct, we seriously consider it the duty of Mr. Van
Buren to recall him instantly from the Court Of ST.
James.
understand, also, that it debated in the Prvy
Council, whether Col. Webb could be received at
court after the reputation he had of having killed Mr..
Cilley in duel with rifles. But my amable cotem-
Porary produced documents which not only esta-
bished his innocence Of any such crime, but proved
beyond doubt that he had chance Of killing
any body in a duel, and that he intended any
thing of the kind and that the whole Of such charges
were a malicious humbug got up by his political OPP
ponents to destroy his well known character for mo-
desty, peace, quetness, and total want OF presunp-
tion. Yet after all his documents he failed to get
introduction and when he reached New York, so
completely was he overcome by his feelings, that he
avoided his usual haunts, and rushed into the bo-
Of the peaceful country to bury his grief in the
blackberry bushes.
Now, all this modification and misery arises from
his amiabe error being silly to suppose that
he regulate himself, and manage without my
sistance in all great emergencies. Whilst he pat
himself under my guidance in England, every thing
prospersd, and went well with him; he saw the
Queen, and was at the Coronation, and received
in CONNIE real circles oracle, and was almost
great lion self, and even beat in whiskers.
But the instant left him and went to France, he got
into Jail at Bristol, nearly so and got arrested,
and was very nearly used up; and if had not re-
turned in time, have doubt that he would have
" suffered some" whilst prsmenading Pennsylvania
Avsnae. IL he had only waited until go to Eng
land in the fall would have negotiated the whole
affair, and had him introduced to the little Queen,
whiskers, and ALL and astonished the ladies Of the
bedchamber by the magnitude Of his modesty and the
beauty Of his behavior and breeches But so il is;
whenever he followed my footsteps, he went right;
and when he went on his own hook, he went to the
devil
However, my amiable contemporary must not give
way to too great state Of despair. There is some
consolation still left for him. All the outlay, and
those preparations for court dresses breeches, whs
kers and epaulettes need not be entirely lost will
take his old court breeches and fashionable out fit at
half price, il he will promise net to tell Major Noah
Of the transaction; as he might consider my dealing
in old clothes infringement on his reserved rights
Bat, sub rosa, will take all his old court clothes at
half price, for cash, and advance the money tomor-
row; for intend to go to Europe in the fall and to
take General Merris along with me, when shall
present him to little Victoria not the tallest but
the neatest specimen Of great, little, literary Ame-
will not fit him at first; but by certain process,
known only to myself, Noah, and the Jews of Chat
ham street, they be reduced to fit fellow Of the
smallest literary and military dimensions. So, send
along the old clothes, and receipt for the money.

after, she gave slight heave, asd glided into the

There was some excitement respe citing the launch
OF the " Stag" because there few vessels Of
