from their different places of confinement
To the central prison Of this town. Most
of these have been two years in prison,

shook first the throne Of HE sovereign, and
afterwards the revolutionary government

and loneliness with fsncifuI experiments
in chemistry and physics. His usual
companion is an EngIishman, who scarce
ly ever sliis from his side; but with this
exception he is almost eslranged from 50
ciety; and the only family he has been
known TO visit, this. very rarely, is that

acquaintance he made during his resi-
deuce in Prague, ten years ago, when,
having left the 18th Hussars. he applied
himself diligently to chemical pursuits.
