A CURIOUS BIT OF HISTORY.

While people are speculnting on the
causes Of the war between France and Ger
many, it may not he amiss TO relate curl
ous piece Of history as to the cause of the
revolt of the thirteen colonies from Great
Britain. The British Government Ind not
thought Of taxing the American colonies
until after the great seven years war, which
ended with the peace of Paris, in 1868.
The next year, 1854, bill was intro
auced into Parliament, aud passed, and re-
ceived the royal signature, which indicatedn
disposition to fleece the colonies with tA1ea
mud excuses. It Was the first of series,
and commences in tho following terms:
~ Whereas, it is Just and necessary that
rerenut BE- raised in america for defrnying
the expenses Of defending, protecting, and
securing the same, we, the Commons,
&C., give and grant unto your Majesty
(Georgo lL) the sum Of, &C." Here
followed specification Of duties On certain
articles of foreign produce, such as tea, su-
gar, molasses, coffee, indigo, silks, and cali
Goes. Such WAS the ayowed and ostensible
object of this obnoxious act. The anticiss
rated revenue to be derived therefrom Was
10 bs appropriated to very different OBJ
ject than the defence and protection Of the
colonies, aud it may be new to most
readers to learn the real purpose for which
this tariff Was imposed. In Tudoris a Life Of
Otis" we have this curious explanation Of
the reason for levying the taxes that even
tunl]y cost Great Britain her thirteen c3l-
onies: George III. came to tile throne
two or three years before, young man,
surrounded by hAttering courtiers, who
frequently declaimel against the meanness
of his palace, which they insisted was
wholly unworthy Of such country as
Great Britain, and so puissanta q monarch as
himself. Nothing but splendid palace
would do-one in consonance with his royal
consequence. Tho King was fond of
! architecture, and therefore the more
readily listened TO- suggestions which
struck him as palpably true.
A beautiful site Was accordingly
selected in Hyde Park, near.tho serpentine
River, md the King applied to his Minis
ters on the subject. His Majesty was in
| formed that the wants Of the Treasury, after
the e1hausting wars from which England
ha.i just emerged, we're too urgent to ad-
nit Of supply from present means but
proposed that q revenue might be raised in
America to supply all the Kings wishes
and erect tho magnificent royal structure.
The suggestion was instantly favored by the
King and Was quickly followed up by the
enactment OF the bill whose preamble is
above recited. It was in this way the
King was led to consider and theu
to consent to the scheme of taxing the col
onies. He got his palace but lost half {
