seat aud slipped his wine, while Squire kyndman
proposed toast in this wise:
British Constitutional Liberty ii possible, but
''National Liberty all events, the may be
and in the event of the British Government losing
sight OF US, we will become the adopted sons OF
90 Uncle Sam, and cheeruly ask them Tor a iuriher
% protection
The Montreal Courier calls for an explanation,
which il insists Capt. Moore ought to give for the
credit OF the English Navy This toast, OF itself Il
trivial affair, coupled with the circumstances OF It's

counties OF England, have been made, 1t further
said, III the hope that change OF scene, and tlnS
the mind with thoughts, might break the dis
tempered cham, and, II possible, avert the threatened
danger. This NAV be nothing but gossip, but when,
as in this case there is the hereditary taint OF nsan
ity in the blood there is always reason for apprehen
sion.''
