SECRET WELL KKVT.
It was originally customary for the
senators of Rome to take their sons
along with them into live senate.
On one occassion, Pa pyrin a Fifetax
“•* talus, having accompanied his father
-thither, heard an affair of great hn
.. potiance dtscossed, the determina
tion of which was deferred till the
f .Hawing day, the sfrictestiinjunc- i

(her osTted him, what the falitr
had done that day in tlie senater”
llceanswcrcd, that it was a secret
which he could not disclose.” Ihe
Curiosity of -the lady was only the
more stimulated by tins denial, and
she pressed the boy so hard, that to
get ritl of her importunities, he was
driven to make use ot the following
pleasant fiction j “It was,” said he,
“debated in the »enale, which would
be more advantageous to the com
monwealth; thutone man should have
two wives, or that one woman should
have two husbandsf’ ihe lady,
wonderfully stated by this singular
piece of information, instantly lull
the house, and Void what she had
discovered to a number of ladies,
.ittiong whom the projected change
in their condition was discussed with
no small degrees ot vehemence and
alarm.
Having so deep no interest in the
decision ot the question, they thought
it but, right that the senate should
know their feelings tespecling ’it; and
next (lav accoidingly they went in a
hotly, and surrounding the doors ol
;li senate,cried out with vast cla
mor,‘that rather than one mutt should
marrv two women, one woman should
marry two men.’ The senators were
in great astonishment, at this strange
cry; and sent out to know what the
women meant? On this young P 'Py
tins st- ppctl forth, and told them
what his mother Ivad desired to know,
and how he hail contrived to answer
her. The senators wer« much a
mused with the youth’s explanation;
and after semWng away the women,
with an assurance that nothing was
at present intended to be done in
the nHirir to winch they alluded, they
marked their sense of young Papy
lias’s wit anil sscresy, by p sstng
an older, that, in future no son ol a
senator should be admitted to their
meetings, I’iipyrius excepted.

M. Hondom, an eminent surgeon,
was one day sent lor by C iiditul
B bois, (lie prime minister of France,
to perform a very serious operation
upon b in, Tim Cardinal, on seeing
him enter the room, said to him.
•• You must not expect to to treat me
in the sitae rough, manner as yon

great .-dignity, ■* every one ol those,

instances of that early designation of

of four years, he began to draw with
a piece of charcoal upon the walls of
his father’s house. M.jSceguier see
ing him thus employed, at a very

and afforded him means to go on re

As we anticipated in our last, Ca

of tlie Spanish commander, general
Morales. This intelligence was re

however, are at variance us to 'be
, manner in which Ins took possession
of the capital, some of them assert
that he entered without the smallest
opposition, and found iti it only a
few women and children, which ano
ther letter states he put to death;
this latter circumstance, altho’ not
improbable, we hope, for the sake oi
humanity, is exaggerated.
The following is mi extract «f one
of the various letters received, dated
Puerto Gabello, 20th May, J 821.
44 Esteemed Friend and Country

Other letters add, that Paez, with
his division, had pushed on from Ca
laboza to La Villa de Cura, about 2
days march from Caracas : and that
Bolivar was between Sun Carlos and
Valencia. No mention whatever is
made of tlie division under the Span
ish commander iu chief, general La
Tune, but-he must be in the vicini

counts be correct, we cannot ut
