"West End" and BY degrees those dgnitares Of
state and fashion, whose presence bids London live
again, are coming in, and their occupations and

"Lineo recta 6repissirus-"
1t is odd, that in the two Paraments of England
and France, the United States should figure so con-
spicuously as of late. This in the French
Chambers arose altogether from our resistance in
the late Ashburton treaty TO submit to the right OF
search; Gen. Cass's able pamphlet drew public at
tenon to il there, and the progress of this question
both in the Lords and Commons, the said treaty
has been good deal discussed praised and blamed,
according TO party views; singular and most un-
pleasant discovery connected with II has Just been
made. Already the good faith Of our great negOtia-
tor, Daniel Webster, is drawn sadly into doubt.
He is accused OF having had in his possession map
by DR.. Franklin, marking distinctly the old line of
boundary as south of ST. Johns river; whereas he,
Webster asserted all the time ii was north this 49,
to say the least, an awkward circumstance, and if
il is substantiated, as hope not, it will disspate all
lingering belief this side the Atlantic in our TRUTH
our faith, our honor This is a most serious event,
that man so high in office, SO favorably known
abroad, and proudly distinguished and justly
speced at home, should, forgetful of his personal
honor and his country 3 fame, stoop to unworthy
trick nay, utter false assertion 10 gain point
over his honorable adversary If this be proved
true against one of our leading statesmen and
brightest names, Why then, any further, defence of
American credit and American faith, will be hope
less task, indeed Our repudiatlng doctrines have
sunk us low enough in European estimation, but this
last event, deriving so much Importance from the
great name associated with II, will extinguish, de-
stroy annihlate our national homer forever in Eng
lish eyes have given the general view of 1t here,
but retain anxousy the hope that this accusation
may turn out still untrue, and that the rich heritage
of our Webster's fame, may descend unsullied TO
our poscnty; the country has deep interest in his
reputation, and fcrvent patriotic is my desire,
that his may still remain =" clarum 81 venerable
hOnteN."
The Italian Opera will shortly throw open its fash
ionable portals, and succession of dazzling novel
ties is held out to the eager gaze of that distln-
gushed throng who make thus elegant resort of
their avorlie and choicest pastlmes The first artists
OF the world appear here by turns; opera and ballet
are produced in the greatest magnfcence and at
enormous cost, but with the wealth of the English
nobility to sustain IT, its resources equal TO any
demand. II was expected that Fanny Elssler would
lead of in ballet, but the fair Fanny has grown quite
obsropulous," to use an elegant phrase, since her
return to Europe don't know what there is in the
American atmosphere that affects all foreigners so
strangely. Fanny that was so steady behaved whilst
there, has gone on like mad ever since every
thing was admirably arranged for her return 10
Paris but she wouldn't agree to IL, and lnsulted the
directors quarrelled with her friends and has finally
lost the favor Of the Parsians, to render her
return TO the grand opera impossible; and here in
London things look very squaly, she has broken her
word pledged TO the director, and he threatens law
suits and damages. Really, if she goes on so much
longer one will conclude she has changed her voca-
ton, and instead Of music and dancing, has taken
to squabblng and fighting She has solid conso-
latlon always In the handsome competency she
gained IN the United States, and however unmind-
iul she has proved herself in much il is to be
hoped she will be ever grateful to that generous
American public, 10 whom she owes all she has got.

the aspect OF things in that wcknown haunt. II
has fallen into the possession of "MackweI," OF
