English View of the Lute RovsI y;s;t.
The London Post has an interesting article
on the visit OF the Prince to the United States
Which undoubtedly represents fairly the sen :
uments OF the masses in England towards
this country. We have selected portions of
the article as follows:
Time has healed all the wounds contracted
IN the war OF independence, and the Ame,i-
cans, who, after ALL are really fond of England,
are glad to have an opportunity of showing
friendship, respect, and hospitality to this
country's future king. That our Prince of
wales should have been received in the conn :

OF what Surprising things some men NAV live

Der the heartburning and bitterness that fol-
lowed 'he American war, when the very name
OF KING ana the very idea of monarchy was
scarcely mentioned without expressions of
contempt. Those feelings have passed awav.
and in their stead have come warm and ont
spoken regard not only for English people. but
tor English princes.
