LoHD Sr A1H.-When this noblem1r
was Ambassador at Paris, in the reign D
George the First, he made a most splgndit
appearances, and being naturally ]intlinec
to gallantry and expense, soon became a
i~aTorite with the ladies there, by whose
intrigues he wa enabled to discover se=
Crets which otherwise might have oscap.
cd the penetration Of the most sughcious
and yigilant minister. In the management
Of the ladies, whose favor he courted, he
was forced TO observe the greatest delicacy.
play, he perceived, was their predominant
passion, and as he was equally inclined
that way, he easily obtained, by means
ofcards, many private amuscments, in
which he could not have INDUCED on any
other pretenee.
The Duches of Maine was one oftiose
ilustrious p]ersonages whom The Earl took
most pains to engage In his interest. She
was passionately fond of play, Of an i%nquisi.
tive aud busy temper, Of vast capacity,
and Of u discerntnent so quick, that it was
no easy matter to impose upon her; she
was among the number Of ladies', too, that
affected TO py into the affairs Of the Con.
)tlnent, and who had gained nm ascendency
over the Regent, so as not to be ultogeth-
or ignorant of the most secret transactions
Of the State. His Excellency, by losing
large sums with this lady, md paying her
the most particular respect, had insonsi-
bly, worked upon her affections, but had
not reaped the least advantage from her
in point ofpolitics, till an accident hap
pened that brought about in an instant
what he had long laborod al in vain. Be.
ing engaged MS her partner in play, the
run Of i'll luck turned against them, and
the Duehes at last was obliged to borrow
ofthc Earl n thousand louis d'ors. His
Excellency told her he had yet twice that
sum III her'servtce, and pressed her to
continue play, which she refused. Next
morning early she sent "a message to the
Earl, desiring instantly to spcnk with him.

The last returns ofthe manufacture of
beet-root sugar in France show a great
improvement over the preceding return. At
the end of Nay there had been manufac-
tured forty millions of kilogrammes of su-
gar, or nearly four millions more than in
l845. Out ofthis quantity, upwards Of
thirty-two millions and a half had been
delivered t. public consumption, which ex-
ceeds the proportion of last year by more
than three millions. In this quantity, nine
millions sent to the depot of Paris have not
been reckoned. Up to May 31st the

NEw IHAtAND.--We have noticel
(says the New york SUM Of an attach
made by the English on the Chiefs HEX
and kawite, in which the latter and thei
bands were totally defeated. The Eng
iish forces consisted of infantry, soldiers
and sailors from the vessels Of war, The
Castor, Calliope, Race Horse and North
Star. The English loss was u killed and
30 wounded. The loss of the Indians
was much larger.
A late number of Wilmer & Smiths Tn.

position which the British forces have met
with in New Zealand, instead Of being a
NATIVE and to the manner born" is an
freshman, and from the sweet, or, as 9th.
ers call II, the bloody country Tipperary.
We have good authority for saying that
this is true, and that the father ofthe New
Zealand ChiefH is now, and has been
for several years. a resident of the CITY. of
Natchez Daniel, we believe his chris.
tian name is-Daniel Hickey, well known
in Mississippi and Louisiana, from his con.
neotion with the press Of the former State.
There is, Of coruse, much romance cor.
nected with the his tory of the New Zeal
and Chief Heki,
IL is, as told by the English papers,
he got cast away among the
natives, became, from his bravery, the IA
vorite of the principal Chief and was, at
death, elected by the tribe. to succeed
him. Presenting all this to be true-of
from the nature of our information,
can have no doubt-tho son, Chief
Heki, in his enmity and opposition to the
Government. is but following in
the footsteps of his illustrious predecessor.
