be only little NOR, than 100000. One fact pre-.
scented by Mr.. Tyler, in this par, Ct the message
lie makes the total amount Of expenditures, this
year, upwards of $32,000,000. During the

amount was only some $23, 100000, and Mr.
Woodbury., late Secretary of the Treasury,

Thus it will be seen that the Wig party during
their bricfleign Of len months have increased the
expenditures n,aly ten millions So much for

The most important part Of The message and
that which will excite the most general interest

found means to correspond. One of their
letters was intercepted, and It's even hint

cd.-A duel was the consequence, with
one of the fiery relations of the princess.
Leiorieres received two sword-thrusts III
lis right side. His wounds were serious,
ye. after two or three days confinement,
he could not resist his inlpailence to see
the princess. lie succeeded in scaling
the walls of the abbey, and obtaining an
interview in an arcade leading TO the clols-
ter OF the cemetery. The interview OF
the lovers was long and tender. They
exchanged vows of eternal fidelity, and
hattered themselves with hopes of future
happiness, which they were never to real
ize. After repeated farewells, the prn-
cess re-entered the convent, never again
to behold the charming Letorcres. On
the following morning, his corpse was
found stiff and cold Oh the pavement OF
the cloIster
1t would seem that the wounds of the
unfortunate youth had been reopened by
his efforts to get over the wall; that he

As the agricultural enterprises at Koloa
are as yet the most extensive of any on these
islands, shall tax your patience somewhat
more, whle.l enter still further into the de-
tails Of the business. Commercial prosper
ity and an agricultural export are insepcra-
bly, connected, as they relate to the future
civilization and wealth Of tins group. They
are mutually dependent, and both require
fostering care, and untlriug industry to nur-
turc them to manhood. The jealousy of the
government has heretotore>operated uniayor-
ably towards the success of the latter, ori-
gnating in the dcep-rooted prejudice they
have acquired, that by alternating their lands,
they lose their sovereignty over them-a pre-
judice whIcn it would be as hopeless to un-
dertake wholly to eradicate from the present
generation, as to change the color of their
skins. From this and the fact that they fear
that by too rapid increase of numbers and
wealth among the foreigners, the govern
ment would eventually pass from their hands,
have originated their exclusive policy, or ra
their system of high rents for limited peri
cd, with the improvements at the expiration
OF the lease to revert to the governments: =
system which certainly is admirably calcu-
lated to answer its purpose, by discour-
aging foreign enterprise and permanent in
vestments of capital. Notwithstanding all
these obstacles, numbers have embarked in
these enterprises, and with q success which
yearly is inducing others to follow their ex-

points gradually relaxed their policy, and as

1.-The Flag Ship" two vols. - mo. is the
title of voyage around the world, written
by the Rev. +. w. Taylor, chaplain to the
late IT, s. East India Squadron. A more
silly book, never probably made its appear
ance from any press. 1t is a collection of
rhapsodc sentiment, dragging forth of pri-
vate passages in the life of the author, or his
friends, clothed in an attempt at language,
which should express thoughts that breathe,
and words that burn" that is slckening in
do discredit to that genus of writings, known
in school-boy parlance, as compositions, and
we feel sorry that the author, gentleman
Of the kindest feelings, and much beloved by
his friends, should have become so possessed
with the cacoethes scrlbendi, as to have al
lowed his better judgment to be ovcrper-
suaded, and led him to inhict such work
upon the literary world. lie has also been
guilty to great extent, Of one OF the worst
errors Of travelling book makers by taking
advantage OF the hospitaties extended to
him III the various ports he visited, to book
his friends, no doubt with the firm persua-
sion that he was comforting an honor, upon
the subjects OF his remarks. We know not
how 1t may appear in other places, but in
this, description of IA private wedding, IA
dissertation on the appearance of the noses
of certain children he saw, personal descrip-
tions OF those he visited, both ladies and gen
tlemen, with speeches put into their mouths,
which, to say the least, sound ridiculously in
book, however appropriate they may have
been to the place and occasion, when they
were uttered, are gross violations of cour-
tesy, and the sanctily of the domestic circle.
We should shun such man as scandal
monger OF the worst nature, or expect at ey-
cry casual observation. to see a notebook
make its appearance, and soon after report

You can find me Oh; and repay lie when

The worthy Jehu was some years after
wards made coachman TO the Princess
Sophia of France. through the recomnief-
daiion of the handsome youth he had SO
generously obliged.
Another instance IN point is given with
respect to his tailor, to whom he owed
four hundred livres. The tailor had re-
peatedly dunned him, but was always put
off with the best grace in the world. The
wife Of the tailor urged her husband TO
assume harsher tone. He replied that
he could not find it in his heart to speak
roughly to SO charming young gentle
man.
I've no patience with such want of
spirit, F." cried the wife you have not the

see if he vii! have the power to charm
me. III warrant he won't be able to put
me off with fine looks and fine speeches..
With these and many more vaunts the
good dame sailed forth. When she re-
turned home, however, she wore quite
different aspect.
"Well, said her husband, :" how much
have you received from the charming
young man ~
"Lct me alone, " replied tie wife 81
found him playing on the guitar, and he
looked so handsome. and was so amlable
and genteel. that had not the heart to
trouble him"
"And the change for the hundred

The wife hesiiated moment. "Faith, :"
cried she "you'll have to add the amount
to your next bill against him. The poor
young gentleman had such melancholy
air, that know not how it was, butt
left the hundred crowns on his mantel
piece in spite of him."
The captivating looks and manners of
Letorieres made his way with equal facil-
ity in the great world. His high connex-
ions entitled him to presentation at court,
but some question arose about the suffi-
cheney of his proofs of nobility; where
upon the king who bad seen him walking
in the gardens of Versailles, and been
charmed with his appearance, put an end
to all demurs of etiquette, by making him
Vicount.
The same kind OF fascination is said to
