News-Ink. See iiH.=Syn. 2. News, Intelligence, Tid- 
ings, Advices. News is the most general word, applying to 
real information which is or is not important, interesting, 
or expected ; news meets especially the desire to know. In- 
telligence is also a general word, applying to news or infor- 
mation of an interesting character, enabling one to under- 
stand better the situation of things in the place from which 
intelligence comes : as, intelligence from the Sandwich Is- 
lands to the 1st ult.; intelligence of a mutiny. Tidings are 
awaited with anxiety. Advices are items of information sent 
for the benefit or pleasure of those receiving them. Thus, 
Philip II. expected no intelligence from the Armada for 
some days after it sailed; soon rumor brought him false 
news of a glorious victory gained over the English ; his first 
reliable news of the defeat of the Armada came through 
aduices ; he received from time to time tidings of uniform 
disaster. 
Beyond it blooms the garden that I love ;
