accounts Is, that our troops in excellent health

Captain of the Avoa, active preparations were ma

Why should we not be intensely grati6ed on this
side of the Atlantic with this pleasant exhibition Of
regal pomp and ceremony. Nothing ought to be
agreeable to the friends of republican dignity
simplicity, and equality than to witness the
trast between them and such poor pageants the

Bat IN another point of view, there is a meaning

pageantry. Since the days of the Holy Alliance,
there has not been seen anything like the unity of

Princes, which prevails at present. unless when the
