might have added) one of the first of Scott-

the neckcloths of the guests as they fell '

as adioiniug counties is so deeply indebted 1

yas rather struck with the paucity of ad-".
vertiseraents and the scarceness "of editon-'
al ;niatter.-; The tenor of the wholevoltvme
partakes largely of the disturbed political .
condition that existed at that timd in Eu
rope. -s To lis, who' act and '..move by balV

diculous to think pf importaut . kite news .
by a sailing vessel only 27 days out from' "
Liverpool. The editor of the Intelligencer -ami
Advertiser has, in a paper dated Feb- .
ruary 15th, 1806, important late! news, by ...
the fast ship "Independence,'? only 38 days
from Greenock, to the effect that the French ' ,
army, according to late Greenock and Glas
gow papers, had entered Vienna - on the
13th November, T805. We in oar days
"would think that almost an age in Avhich
to receive late news. V The editor litis news
in abundance, frcni Kurenbui'gf liavaria,
Manheim, on the Rhine, and even Saltz-
burg, Bavaria, and , Inepruck of lyrpi,
Austria. One of our day never , hears oi
any late news from .such '..insignificant vil- -
ages and towns. ' Another thing yefv tm-
ike the present "time was .the seldom rec- -
ording of deaths and mairiages. One of.
the two cases is certain, the people, either .
tliel not die and marry as frequently as they
