and desires TO see more energy thrown
into the prosecution of the war. He dis.
claims all thought of interfering with the
blockade or the var.

you will see the vcritabls comet which the

since. The body of this erratic visitor is
about the size and brilliancy of Venus,
while the tail is very celsstial-presenting
the appearance Of broad auroral light
The curious will find this comet worthy Of
an observation; satisfaction guaranteed on
sight.

than pay. Glory and honors. This is
glory, is it? Yes. Nine princes have sur.

battle, and their kingdoms have been con-
quered by me. and attached to my own
country. Well, all the glory that can be
desired is mine, and care so little for it.
that the moment can, all shall be resigned
to live quietly with my wife and girls; no
honor or riches repays me for absence from
them. Otherwise this sort Of life is no life
for me; is agreeable to me only as it may
enable me to do good to these poor people
Oh! if can do anything 20 serve them
where so much blood has been shed in ac-
cursed war, shall be happy. May never
see another shot fired! Horrid, horrid war!
