the &hhiest Of the filthy, and to see them and
their strangers on' and their children, as they APP
peared about the deck, was, to say the least, dis
gushing. They are all living like fighting cocks
upon the best OF everything; nothing but the
finest wines and the Oldest brandy and rum will

dance, at the expense OF the United States

he reaches home, and ask him or some OF the

dants since these "illustrious exiles" embarked.
He was very prudent and quiet while at Mar
sellles, though somc OF his officers gave free vent
TO their feelings when among their coun.rymen,

chased out Of three different ports in consequence
OF the behavior Of the guest he had on board,

hailed in the different parts of the Mediterranean
With the highest satisfaction, and the recent yis-
