On onday (March 15), the &arl of Ca'rlie rose, and, in a short speech, touched ...

AMERICA

... -JAMEX-ICA. The UTnited' States of America is of Itself a most interesting, object, but, when viewed in conjunction with Louisiana and the W-est-Indics, and -with the contemplated operations of France in the western hemis- phere, it must be regarded as of the v;.ry first importance by all those who endeavour to penetrate into the secrets of time.
