we have a mutualesteem for each other, the praises I give her, or 
those I receive from her, seem sweeter than the applause of a nation.” 
‘Speaking these words he cast a look on his child in the cradle, and

To CoRRESPONDENTS. 
Tue communication by Cyiticws is thankfully received ; and fhall - 
be inserted with the first convenience. It is rather longith. 
The same thing will apply to Aldegoriea, with this difference, that 
it is fuorter. ; 
The observations of a City Traveller, are also received. It would 
be well if all travellers would make as good use of their opportunities 
of observation. 
It is a great many months since ” E. sent notice that he was to 
transmit an efsay on a day specified ; the day is long since past. Lest 
it may have been sent and lost by the way, the Editor takes this mode 
of informing him that it has never come to his hand. It probably 
often happens that the Editor is thus accused vf neglecting correspon- 
ents without aky blame on his part. 
The elegant translation of Lomonolsot’s beautiful oraticn on Peter 
the great is received, and fhall appear as soon as circumstances will 
ermit. 
"The Editor acknowledzes with fame on his part, that he had very 
inadvertently mislaid the first communication by H. £. having 
put it by till he fiould get an opportunity of making the necefsary in- 
quiries; which not having been abie to do very soon, it entirely escap- 
ed his notice. His second favour ts received. The seeds inclosed are 
not in the least of the nature of the Botany Bay plant which was mis- 
taken for a pine. Those sent were often brought trom India and Chi- 
na before botany Bay was discovered. They are employed for the 
purpose of marking linens in the east Indies, and make a very durable 
black stain that does not burnthe cloth. It is an object well wor- 
thy of farther illustration. - 
It is amazing this fruit in quantities never fhould have been brought 
to Europe as an article of traffic, for it might certainly be apphed to 
some valuable uses in arts.
