"To mention Il retrospective but

peror's life. This person recommend
ed his family to the Princes care, in
case he should loose his life in attempt
ing to execute his criminal design

vantageous to the noble cxiles. It is
also true that the Prince de Joinville

Nothing is ever said in this sheet
will, any hope that it will alter tho
complexion Of things, or effect the

Any well directed effort to affect re-

be more or less successful, if based
upon inmutable truths, and presented
in such logic as will reach the COM
