YANKEE COURTIERS.

YANKEE COURTIERS.
As Messrs. John and Abraham Van Blu
rem visited the courts Of England and
France and dined with the Queen who had
koiphted M'Nab for numbering their coun-
trymen, thousands follow their example
and that of Mr.. Webster. OF such as
them the tory Captain thus speaks in his
new books:-
" The Americans are more ambitious oil
birth and arisiocracy Than any other ma
ton. which is very natural, il il were only
from The simple fact, that we always most
desire what is out Of our reach. Since The
Americans have come over in such num-
hers 10 this country, our Herad'S Office
has actually been besieged by them, in
their anxiety to take out The arms and
achievements oftheir presumed iorelathers;
this il also very natural and proper, al
though il NAV he at variance with their in
stitution. The determination TO have an
arjstocracy in America gains head every
day; a conflict must ensue, when the in
crease Of wealth in the country adds sutti-
GENTLY to the strength OF the party. But
some line must be drawn in this country as
10 the admission of Amsricans TO the
ENGLISH Court, or, il not dawn it will end
ia a total, and therefore unjust exclusion.
Az bn, few o. the Americans can claim any
right 10 aristocracy in their Own country
from acknowledged descent, should not
be saTnrised il in few years, now that
the ,wo countries are becoming 50 intm-
ately connected, reception at the English
Court oil this country would be considered
nm establishment of their claim. II so, it
will be a curious anomaly in the history
of republic, that, fifty years alter it was
established, the republicans should apply
10 the mother country whose institutions
they had abjufed, 10 obtain tom her pa
tent Of superiority, so as to raise Them
selves above that hated equality which BY
their own institutions they profess. The
Americans cannot lake the English Court
by storm, or iorce US 10 acknowledge their
equality in this country. There are but
cer,sin classes ia this county who have
any ntetension 10 be received at Court
nniess the Americans can prove that they
are nv their situation or descent, al a suti.
Gent rank 20 qualify them 10 be admitted,
,hsv must be content 20 be excluded, as
,he major portion Of our coun,rymen are. /
Even an American being a member Of
Congress does not qualify him, although
A.;os member Of the Senate certainly
should. The members of the American
Congress are moi in the mass equal by any
means in responsibility 10 the members Of

/. An interesting case Of Lou
ness Of Spirits, aoith a rio-
lent SpasmOdic affection

Mr., Francis Caldwell was afflicted for several
years with extreme debility, together with train
of symptoms generally termed nervous affections,
and which, perhaps, it would be impossible for the
pen of the most learned physicians TO describe.
In this case the spasms in the stomach were so fre-
quent and excrucating as nearly to deprive him Of
reason, pains in The limbs, extending even to the
fingers and toes, sickness at the stomach, and a
general agitation of the whole sestem, nsomucb
that common incident rendered the mind timid
and apprehensve. In order TO remove these dis
tressing symptoms, and restore the constitution TO
its former energy, large portion Of medica skill
had been exhausted without any advantage; change
Of ait aud other remedies were also unavailine, and
the mind and body appeared to be devoted 10 a
ruthless disease. In this hopeless and anguid
situation, Mr.. Caldwell was recommended to make
trial of Hunts Botanic Pills, the effects of which
were visible in a few days, and by continuance
of the medicine according to directions,) his
strength became completely restored, and a sound
state OF health most happily established

succeeded by pains in every part Of the body. The
pains continued severe until the month Of Nav,
