From the Albany Journal.

AMERICAN PRINCES ROYAL. The follow
ing is extract from London Letter which
appears in this mornings Albany Argus:
"Therc is a great number of American
ladies in London at present, and they seem
to be good deal the fashion Mrs. Van
Buren's quiet and high bred manners are
very much talked Of, and the Major himself,
/ like his brother, has been received quite as
a PRINCE ROYAL admitted to the
floor of the House of Lords, etc etc. etc.
Miss Sedgwick is here, but she seems to
require trumpeter."
So it appears that Maj VAN buren, has,
like his brother John, been received by the
nobility of England, LIKE A PRINCE
ROYAL!"-AnG this boast is put forth in
the State Paper--a paper which is filled
with professions Of Rcpubicanism! And
worse than all, the paragraph which pro-
olaims the fact that the sons Of his "DEM-
OCRATIC MAJESTY" are received at
the British Court like ROYAL PRINCES,
contains an nsolenl and unmanly fling at
the gifted aud accomplished Miss SEDo-
WICK, who has done more TO adorn and ex-
alt the character Of her country, than all
the Van Burens who flourish as mimic
MoNARcns at home or figure as RoYAL
Princes abroad"

erai houses, and finally found refuge in the
residence Of Mr.. Wilcox, one of the

lowed by several pursuers, one of whom is
said TO be priest, who demanded that she
SHOULD be given upto theE1 but their de-
mand was refused. In the mean time,
aervice was over, and the streets were
througed. The story soon winged its way
in evrv form exageration, throughout the

drpd persons was soon collected round the
premises. A Garage was provided by the
inmates Of the Convent, who declared the
nun to be insane, and desired to send her
to Marylauh Hospital, under charge of the
Sisters of Charity. The mob would not
permit this, but at the desire ofthe Mayor,
the nun was conveyed to Washington Col
