aad aattha at a kafbr s. LOA'DOX, THURSDAY, AUGUST S3, 18S1 am Erer since 186, when, in consequence of the deslh of Kir.g Jony, two armed political srstenis begin to contend for the masterr in Portnn, we hare inTaria. bly supported the constitutional cause, and the rights of tne elder branch of the Bracakia firefly, as the true interest of England and of the ci riliied world. It was by British intervention, and to answer en lightened news of British policy, that the legal separation took place between the mother country and her great colonial possession of Brazil. It was on cur re commendation that the late Kno disserered himself from a rising trans Atlantic empire, which be had personally occupied and ruled for 13 or 14 years of European troubles, during which we had the chief direction in his ancient hereditary dominions.

It was by our mediation, and even by the means of our Ambassador, that the terms of Brazilian independence were settled, and that Don Pedro became Emperor of the new State without ceasing to be the rightful heir of the Portugueae throne. It was by our influence that the Emperor's cause his party and his charter, were supported at first against the moat fanatical opposition, and the basest treachery that erer disgraced the earth organized and disciplined under the patronage of the monks of Spain and the agents of the Holy Alliance. It was, in short, by the arriTi of our troops in the end of December, 16S8, that the absolutist faction, under the protection of the Court of Madrid, and provided with arms on the Spanish fron "i were prtren ted from re entering their native coun try in i foreign interest, overthrowing ihe treaties to which we were parties, snd completing that usurpation which, under our very inspection and connivance, has since occasioned so much bloodshed, and perpetrated so many horrors. It requires no laboured argument, therefore, to prove that we had identified ourselves from the becinnine with the constitutional party, and the supporters of legitimate authority, in opposition to Spanish influence, arbitrary violence, and perfidious usurpation. The whole energy of our Foreign Minister at home, and the whole efforts of our diplomacy in the Peninsula during the course of 18S7, were directed to guide the one party and to check the other.

The British Ambassador in Lisbon, was in fact the Cabinet of that Court, the occult Governor of Portugal. The Portuguese Chambers deliberated indeed on the state of their country, and pretended that their deliberations were free but they were controlled, if not ostensibly, yet not the lets really, by the influence of the able Minister who then represented England at the Court of the Princess Regent. A law could not be passed, a movement of the troops could not take place, a foreign despatch could not be written, a cabinet council could not be changed, nay, a few Spanish exiles could not even be landed from a Falmouth packet, without the acquiescence or the remonstrance of the British Ambassador. Nor do censure bis Excellency for the energetic and vigilant discharge of his duty on that occasion. We had an army in Portugal for the specific purpose of defending the kingdom against foreign ag.

gression, led en by a domestic faction, and we could not fulfil our object, and secure the safety of our expedition, without exercising a certain influence in the councils of the nsrinrtsl party whom we came to aid. But this is not sH. The Emperor of Brazil having abdicated the Crown of Portugal in favour of bis daughter, and having appointed his eldest sister as Princess Regent in her infant Majesty's name, never, however, ceased to act as the guardian of his child, and endeavoured repeatedly to interfere in directing the internal policy of ber kingdom. This interference was always directed to increase the power the young Qi fcx to promote to posts of honour her faithful adheresta to support the constitutional parry, and to curb the partisans of uc future Usurper. His Imperial Majesty even sent orders to Europe for his brother to leave the Court of Vienna, and to proceed to Rio de Janeiro, instead of bang permitted to return to Portugal.

All these orders were resisted, and all these arrangements baffled, by the influence of the English Administration, who, with the beat intentions in the world, and naturally with lets suspicion of Don Mictel, thought that the treaty of aepexatkn between ronngai and Brazil might safely hare its full accomplishment, and that the surest way of protecting the cVwiiniotia of the young Qcnv from drfl disaenai jn was to xfanit bar tmcky wader whot buaenlktT cocsala wrr nngaL to ecerdat tbtii. gtteylnbeTnaa under certain ararnrn rnipgrmm.

Too, without adviTtfakt ig'eMvlirti Mtfe 'clMfttf, wWch out Anbamdor wu called ttj at Vlejny wlihout nntkhrtig 0 jJedgM wMchw ftr tht cotutltutkjtul party, by Inviting their future BgeiU to past thrcv th ccnitinaioiul region of England on bit way to Portugal, without recalling the Important drcumstanca that he wu escorted to the Tagus by a British kquidron, walcb thus proclaimed to his new subjects th confidence of the English Government in his promises to respect their Kbertlea, and without making that net to which we art entitled, of the extraordinary protection given by our troops to the Usurper, when the awakened auspi. dona of the liberal party would hart hutled him from his throne, without alluding, we say, to any of thoat strong facta wMcheurrrf towards the commencement of the bloody tragedy of the usurpation, wa think that we hart proved that the constitutional party, as having been misled to oar policy, havtat present the most undeniable chum on our sympathy and support, even though their cause were leas identified with our own than it appears to be in the existing crisis.

But other considerations of grave moment concur with our tense of Justice and our feelings of sympathy vu uus orouum. ine party oi me cx Cmperor, who. faithful to their engagements, have lately rehoiated the standard of legitimacy and freedom at Oporto, are enlightened in their political views, and if successful in their atrugcle, must be friendly to a more liberal inter. tours wiu eniigntenea nations, uur country. uica nave joined inetn, uougn our uorernment has lent them no support They must, therefore, be disposed to a closer alliance with England.

Even their abolition of the wine monopoly of the Douro shows their disposition to promote our trade and their own. On the other hand, General Sc rastiaki's Monster," and his Monkish upholders, are our implacable enemies, and the sworn foes of freedom and civilization. They have broken open the houaea of our countrymen domiciliated in Portugal They have imprisoned their persons and plundered their estates. In their fanatical ienorance and bar. barous superstition, they are taught to regard the name ot an ftngiisiunan aa equivalent to tnat of anarchist or infideL Hence our fellow subjects are liable to be stacked whenever ther teen without protection.

and redress can only be obtained from the Dey of Lisbon, from the Dey of Algiers, at the mouth of our cannon. Such a monstrous state of things ought not to continue, if, consistently with the honour and neutral engagements of our Government, it can be over, thrown. If permitted to last for any considerable time longer, Portugal is ruined, and the interests of our merchants are sacrificed for many rears to come, whatever be the result of the contest. The body of brave men who now support the interests of freedom and tf legitimate right at Oporto, have Ions known the bitterness of exfl. and long fdt the pressure of want arising from decrees of unjust oanunment, ana acts ot anameless confiscation.

They will not. therefore, aeain relinauiih thrfr cotmtrr. on which they have afresh planted tidr foot, without a aesperate struggle to maintain tnetr ground. They know the crud tortures, the midnight massacrea, or the bloody seafibkls, which await their captivity, if unhappily they should be defeated and takenprisonera. They will therefore scD their lives dear.

Thus a nmaratinn laid for one of the moat sanguinary tragedies recorded in history, should the fleet of the Usurper be successful in blockading the mouth of the Douro, and his army in forcing the intrenchmenta of Oporto. In the mean time, English commerce and English property must be sacrificed, either by the continance of the dvu war, or by the calamities of a Migudite triumph. In the foregoing observations and statements we think we have said enough to Induce our generous countrymen, if we cannot prevail upon ourGovernraent, to concur in tome public expression pf their sentiments towards the Portuguese Constitutionalists, and seme declaration of sympathy in thdr cause. They will thus be able to make some atonement for their past neglect to wipe away some of the stains of righteous blood from our national policy, if not to secure a triumph to the side of freedom. It would, indeed, be disgraceful to the character of Englishmen, who are justly proud of the courage and magnanimity of thdr ancestors in fighting against oppressions which, compared to the despotism under which Portugal now groans, were liberty itself, if they did not come forward and make some effort to prevent the horrors of which Oporto may shortly, by our supineness, become the theatre.

Such, we are persuaded, will not be the case; for we hare reason to believe, that a public meeting is about to be convened on the affairs oi Portugal, at which that excellent Prince and ardent lover of freedom, his Royal Highness the Duke of Si sszx, is to preside. We invite our patriotic countrymen to attend the call, and we beseech those who have undertaken the arrangement of the business to indulge in no delay. UTiatever is to be done, let it be done with an earnestness, a promptitude, important interests at stake, and the urgency of the crisis which we are anxious to avert The shout tf eager congratulation and exulting triumph will doubtless be heard from the banks of the Tagus to the walls of St Peters. burgh, through all the tot tuous windings of despotic Courta, should the Usurper be successful. Let it at Wt be interrupted by the execrations of Englishmen, should it reach this land of freedom.

Since writing the foregoing observations, and making the foregoing appeal to our countrymen, we have recdved a letter from our Falmouth correspond, ent, containing all the newt which he could collect from the Alban steamer, which had arrived at that port on Monday, with papers and letters from Oporto to the 15th inst We insert our correspondent's letter in another column, aa well as extracts from the Oporto journals. The intelligence which they contain, though encouraging for the cause of the Constitutionalists, speaks of no decisive result It is certain, that Sartorics bad attacked the squadron of Don Miocex on the 10th and 11th, and that, though not successful at first, from the small nest of his force, he hoped when be had collected all his ships to give a good account of the enemy. His lews, it would appear from his own despatch, wu but trifling. It will require a more derided success over a superior squadron, to regain him such an ascendancy at sea as will enable him to continue, without interruption, the blockade of the two great rivers of Portugal. By one of the accounts, the ships of Don MiocKLhad approached the mouth of the Douro.

If the blockade of Oporto wu the object of Uie expediuon from the Tagus, it would seem that its purpose was thus temporarily accomplished. As the mouth of the river is well fortified, it will be dangerous far the Migudite squadron to approach the land; and if Sartorics, by the union of all his naval force, can successfully attack it from without, a most important advantage win be obtained for the constitutional cause. On land, it would seem that the army of Don Pedro, though always more than a match for the enemy in the field, had been hemmed in by superior numbers. Our correspondent's letter, however, gives all the details which we know on that part of the subject, and it would be needless to repeat them in other words. covnrciKCVu.

An arrival from Oporto hat brought lettett of the Uth intt from that aty, and others, dated on the lith, written by passengers from England by the Colombia packet, who had not yet landed. The packet did not, It seems, past tht Bar, but placed tht passengers for Oporto on board of Hit Majesty's hip A'toe, then In the offing. From this veatd tht fleets of Admiral Barto riua and of Miguel went descried in the distance, in a position which madt thdr coming to action all but certain, but tht result, unfortunately, ia not known.

Admiral SartoHua had come within reach of tht An Mlgud't large ship, and by one shot had carried away her mainmast, which damage, such wu tht bad state of diadnlint among tht crew. It had coat 36 hours to repair. Migud'a commander had hitherto contrived to dude all attempts on the pert of the Constitutional squadron to separate him from the rest of tht ships, and had kept his two best frigates dose to him, which operation wu facUiuted by tht moderate sine oi tnt weatner, ana it nau rendered an attack on tht part of Bartorins impossible, with any fdr prospect of success, he had then with him only his own and another frigate, and the Ramona steam vessel. Two other reseda, however, the TtetntyMirdoJuJy. of SO, and the Liberal, of 10 guns, must subsequently hare joined him, they sailed on the 10th from Oporto, and all hit other reasds had left the harbour, be would hence come into tne action which wu impending with much less disparity of force.

The best hopes prevail among all interested, that Sartorius will give a good account of the enemy Some' reports were spread in the aty in tne course ot tne a later arrival Had taken place from Oporto, with the welcome intelligence that Sartorius had taken and destroyed the mater nart of Mlgud't squadron, but they prove, on inquiry, to be at least Premature. No military movements are stated in the Oporto letters to have taken place subsequent to that of the 7 in, already described. I be town wu perfectly tranquil. Some of the letters express apprehensions of an attack from the troops of Migud, but we should concave from tht general tenour of them, that the Constitutionalists were much too strong to afford any just grounds for such apprehensions. The funds hare been steady to day.

Yesterday wt recdved letters and papers from Hol land of the date of Monday last, which, with respect to tne intelligence from Breda and Bois It Due, are of the usual warlike complexion. However, the corre spondence from tht Hague assumes a different colour.

Letters from that place aatert that tht negotiations between the Dutch Government and the London Con. ferenot are altogether of a oadfie character. The final settlement of the main question, it ia aaserted, it only delayed because the Conference wishes to ascertain pre dady the disposition of the parties on all the points and cietafls which are to be reserved. It la said to be intended that the negotiations on these matters shall be merdy formal, and that treaties erahndng them shall imme. diatdy follow the treaty of separation.

Whether any of the point on which the King of Hollar hu obttinatdy Insisted hare been yielded on bit pari, does not appear.

Admiral Sartorius had followed and harassed th enemy with coaslderable effect, having shot away the main topmast of th Dm (th liae of baltl ship), snd teriouilr Injured ber maiamut Tbt greatest dread of boarding prevailed amongst Don Miguel's squadron, and double net.

ting had bean provided to ward off such a calamity. They wert particularly alarmed at the effect of th steameri, and a calm wss the great deair of Sartoriui and hii men, 10 enable th steamer to act, and bring them In immediate contact with their opponents. It was not poaaibU for Sartorius to bring hit fleet at once Into action, bis force being much inferior, Don Miguel's consisting of th Dow An (liiw of battle ship), I frigates, 3 corvettes, and 3 brigs; while th fore of Admiral Sartoriut was only 3 frigate, corvettes, sad as many bngi to oppoae them. A reinforcement had, however, left Oporto for him, compoard of a eorvetu and 1 aebooncri, accompanied by th City Edinburgh steamer, ahich had towed them out of port. Upon Don Miguel's wjuadron being descried bearing up foe th Bar, a not extraordinary, though nnaceountabU, panic triaed severs! of th masters marl there.

On of them rommindlng the Bondmo, a I am told, abandoned bis ship snd went sahore. For this there wa no necessity In any event, as she waa under Ruwian colours 1 however, no mischief resulted, as tb was taken possession of by icm of Don Pedro's frteads. Perhap the maa. terwas fearful that Don Miguel would pay no respect to neutrals, even though an unlucky shot might explode th tOO barrels of guapswder with which th Bvndmo aa laden. On th approach of the hostile squadrons, the British had hauled out to windward, la order to observe the most perfect neutrality, and witaeat the result of th contest between th rival fleets.

At the sailing of the Alien, however, nothing decisive had occurred, but victory alone was expected for Sar. tortus, from th wcH graunded confidence of British sailors in their countrymen, notwithstanding th superior force ot Don Miguel's squadron. With respect to matters la Oporto, tb sccounu bring nothing new. Don Pedro wss limited to the town snd suburb of Vfll Nova, on th opposite side of the Douro. II has no cavalry, and cannot go beyond his out.

posts. Tb report of a revolt at Almeida was nf in the town, ss well ss that Miguel had been obliged to withdraw part of his fore in order to crush this opposition. The bold ness of Miguel's troops had not, however, diminished, ss they had, notwithstanding tht possession of Villa Nova, snd the strong convent of Sarea en the hill above it, gone lower down on the south side of the river, snd annoyed the town with musketry. Desertions had taken place, but not to any great extent, snd they had occurred on both sides. The north side of th Douro for some miles around was completely occupied by DwiMigueTitroopa, which were by common report magnified to th amount of 40,000 men.

The garriaon and population wot, nevertheless, in high spirits, snd cons dent of victory, and every practicable mode of fortification had been resorted to to reader tb town inaccessible. Provisions were beginning to be Scare, not from deficiency of material but the village of VaSonga is ordinarily the great mart for the manufacture of bread to supply Oporto, snd Don Miguel's troops being in possession of that, as well as the mills on the south side of the river, within a mil and a half of the town, considerable temporary Inconvenience wss experienced. Letters, It wss said, bad been received from the interior, stating, that if Don Pedro commanded implicit obedience, they would render it at once tnt without such authority, guaranteed, of course, by a sufficient force, they dared not venture to brav the tyranny of Don Miguel It is also said that another engagement bad taken place on the 7th but of this there is no certainty. An attack wai expected upon the town th night the AU4m sailed but this, ss well as the former statement, is not, perhaps, to depended upon. Another report was that of a friar having been arced, with orders to poison bead, water, fruits, and all that could aupport man, and not even to spare a lew of the faithful, provided the total extirpation of the heretical invaders could be accomplished, and the safety of his Most Christian Majesty thereby secured.

This is the revival of an old account, which was coupled with that of the firing of monasteries in which the troops were lodged and, though may be true, it does not look like troth. Tb master of the steamer says, that a penny loaf was, at his departure, worth 44, although, from the tact vouched, that there were several vessels laden with wheat in th river, such an occurrence, if true, could only be occasioned by th cessation of supply from Yallonga, and must speedily remedied. Another report wss, that th English Consul bad conducted himself in a manner disagreeable, if not hostile, to his fellow, countrymen in the serrict of Donna Maria; and that after unavallingly opposing the burial of a captain of Engineers tb Protestsnt burisLground, be had further objected to his remains being paid military honours, upon which Colonel Hodges had told him, that if it was his pleasure, he wuld fire over his brother ia arms from morning until nighL The Stag, sir Thomas Troubridge, is ordered borne, and may be expected in a week. The CtJumUm steamer bad passed by Oporto, without going on the 14th. The following letter wu recdved yesterday from the agent to Lloyd's ti Oporto, dated the lith of August, 9 o'clock p.

It it added, that a messenger bad arrived at Madrid on the Uth, from Sl Petersburgh, with the Emperor's rriteu rated declaration of his intention to take no part in the present contest for the Portuguese throne. Both these stories sound very improbable. The French papers seem to be sadly in want of matter to fill thdr columns with, and they have literally got up a discus. aon on the question, whether there is or not any sob.

ject of sutfident public interest to enable them to carry on thdr usud paper war. The responsible editor of the Tribune his been condemned, at the Court of Asaiies, on 01. of the numberless actions brought against that paper by the Government, to 6 months' imprisonment and a fine of francs. The paper has msde a new appeal to the public, who will, most likely, once mere com to its ajurtance by subsenp. tions for the sum required.

From Mttttvger of Tuesday.) The CWnrr Franrou givn the following letter of the lith received by ex pre from Madrid Last evening a courier arrived in haste at the residence of M. D'Alcudia, with despatches from M. De Montealegre, Mating first, that aecoumi had been received of the capture of a part of Don Miguel's fleet by Admiral Sarumua, who eonduccd hta prues to Oporto, where Don Pedro immediately enrolled in his aemee all tuch of the priioiieri a were rtlUrg to enter, while those who maintained their fidelity Don Miguel wen kept in conhnemem. ia lateDigcnce waa accompanied by a note from Don Jliguel, by which be teDi his unelf, thxt though he by no mears considered his cause loat, hu Catholic Majesty night, if the aid of the Speniah troop be came necessary for the support of the rood cauae of Porrueal fretly send his soldiers over the frontier, as the principle of non intervention bad been violated by the navy of England. ine note, nowever, concludes with expreiaiona of the hopes of Don that he would be able to dispense with his succour, and that his own troops would be sufficient to gain complete victory over the enemies of the throne and th slur.

Thii morning council was held, st which this great question of the intervention of England was discussed, snd it is even bebeved that the courier which brings you this letter conveys to your Government the decision it came toon this point. In this note 31. D'Alcudia complains severely of the conduct cf England, and acquaints the French Cabinet that henceforth there is nothing to prevent Spain from crossing the boundaries of Portugal. Orders have also been sent to 31. d'Ofaha and M.

Zea Bermuda, to insist with the Governments to which they are accredited, upon the rights of entering Portugal, mated by the proceedings of England. While the minuter wsa engaged in writing these notes, a courier extraordinary arrived from St. Petersburgh with despatches from 31. Pern de la Cavena, which appear have in some measure checked the arrogance of our minuter. In fact, it is stated that these despatches were not very flattering to our Government, inanrruch as Russia does not propose to afford it the support of iu army, in caa a ruptur should occur between Spain and Great Bntsm.

The Emperor, how. ever, says, that he feels pleasure In believing that the King of Spam wUl not abandon the cause of his ally, the King of Portugal, were it even necessary that an intervention should takt place which would give occasion for the Ruwian Govermnent and all Europe to admire the bravery of the army of Caatile. This phrase of 31. de Neuelrode might be taken to have been dictated either by the Duke of Wellington or Prmce Jletter nlch. After all, there i but little to animate the hopes of the Apostolic.

P.S. Report! are this moment spread that the ordinary malls have just brought intelligence that several towns in the provinces of the Algarves and Tras o. Jlonteshave declared in favour of Don Pedro, sr.d hoisted the colours of the young Queen. Amonst others, Beira, a town on the borders of Spain, is named. This would be an event of extreme importance.

There are insurrections st Vixen, Almeida, and Cotmbra consequently the success of Dob Pedro is insured." A pnvste letter of the 12th mst from Turin states, on the authority of persons of rank attached to the Court of the rung of Sardinia, that at the urgent aoliatatioo of th French Ambassador, the committee of Legitimatists at Nice, with which many Carluu of the South of France were connected, has just been dissolved by a Royal Order. The foreigners known as the principal agents of this CmrntmOa will reordered to quit Nice.

Extract of a private letter of the 17th instant from Stutt rard Since the return of th King of Wurtemberg from Leghorn, the agents of Austria and Prussia have besieged him with pressing remonstrances, respecting hu declaration relative to th Frankfort Protocols, but the French Envoy has done nothing to counteract them. Hence it resulu that the King now repenta of the step he ventured to take, and in his semi official journal retracts his former resolution. Several correspondents of foreign aays that paper and more particularly the GmseUe, consider the manner in which the decrees of the Diet of June 28 have been published, as a protest or reserve on the part of the Wurtemberg Government against the said decrees but who. ever reads without prejudice the declaration published on the 28th of July, cannot consider it as a protest, and wc believ that such a sense i not put upon it in this country. In our opinion, which will be shared by all men of sens and judg.

menu the Government of Wurtembenrthrrhmr.lw...i. that the decrees of the Diet do not menace the conatJtatien of uie cuunirv, ana mat, consequently, tnese decrees will not be applied so as to cause an infraction upon the charter. The declaration was, no doubt, chiefly intended to put an end to misunderstandings and false reports, which a well known fae. two had sought on this occasioa to propogate with that malevolent eagerness which charactenxea it; and we believe that the declaration ha partly attained lb object which waa kept in view."

K. o' the young 'una. I'd hardly believe the First Lord of the Admiralty himself, if he told me that any Sw wt ui uugracr ux sarncem such a way aa that there. But he be he arn't worth talking about. Well, then, now for my yarn about this here Emp ror o'Rushy and the 7'acera.

There can't be no manner o'doubt that the Rushy Old Nick, aa my messmates call come aboard to look at the raArtrra; and ock i it would have betn if ht hadn't, considering the difference between she and the craft what hit Board o' Admiralty turns out. Tht swab wrote totheryrn makes a Ana about old Nick chunking Tie Juna't ktaltX," and say. ing God eon the JTint;" bo I'll juattak you whether that there waa any more nor mnnert in Nick, consider, ing aa how he was luahing at His Majesty's expense board one of Hie Majesty a ships? Sartinly not but I suppose the twah arn't been used to people aa knows what manners is. There was a sight o' pahrver between Nick and the Captain, which I didn't pay no" attention to, though I stuck quite dose to 'em, I con. sidered I waaobligxted In dttry for to do.

And 'caoss why?

Don't go for to tuppew thougn, is how 1 wai och a spooney an' to be humbugged Gka the swab, when them there kmouttw slave uniform called Old Nick father and said we'll km and die for you." No, no.

Do yon think aO that there warn't down upon their orders do yoa tbfnV the drill serjeant hadn't told 'em to make that there speech for tome fool in our company to carry home with him and tell to the Marines Lord love youy there was no more arneat in it than in any Afnr ever teed from the one shiDlnp gallery in lapiay house.

Concarning of Old Nick going to pray era in that there tort of a way at the swab deWribe why, that there's a serious subject, and to norw jnat look yon, fMjirl wfiiyf I takes in a reef or two, and tends along steady. Tht swab takes Ben Bowling a hole out of hi latitude in all that there fine patter of Ma about the priest, and the altar, and tears a glistening," and the" beggar description to, fcr fear should make a false report about hia craft, and what tail she carries, 111 just inai bcOd aato acratchyoa out bit own very words: The Emperor alighted from ma carriage with his bead uncovered, and tht priest steed ferward and dcrcd as to God th evening prayer, which aa taraoded the iiitmtlii thousands.

But what taya ia thia here, namdy, that that there patter of the swab don't do hun no credit at a Christian nor a British teaman and if he meant to lay aa bow any of our crew joined ia the prayer, why we denies it plump.

I don't hbah to own that I was very near piping my eye at thai hers part of the concarn beat 'cause why Why. etna. when I looked round me at all them there TTK itir soldiers, the poor Poles came into ray mind again: and when 1 thought 0' them, I couldn't help recoCectisg how cruelly they'd been tarred ent, and bow then wives and young 'uns had been cupped into limbo, tr tent to the Rushy Botny.bay in Siberia, by that men very chap aa was then axing merry for himself, though, like a pirate at he it, he never thoVd no merer tt them there peer creturx.
