rank, as they are in the army. First comes the
commander in-chief then the generals, major
generals, brigadiers CylUnGlS majors, caDtains

England, as to rank. Here, first, is the wealthict
nobleman in Europe, Prince Estcrhazy, the repre-

Europe Then you name Prince Windisch Gratz,

Dukes of the royal bood-before Maruuisses,
Earls, Fiscounts and Barons. You have him

Grutz and the Lord Chamberlain. Then comes
the Dukes Of Norfolk. Cleaveand, Wellington,
Sutherland, Argyll, Devonshire, &c. &C. And
this was the company. Very sslecD pery select,
assure you.
Well soon after this, the Lord Mayor and Corr

Mr.. Chairman, cannot avoid presontipr von

Van Buren,. 1t is from the pen Of locofcco edi.
