rived about one o’clock at night, much fatigued, at Falmouth. 
Penryn, to which I made several excursions, contains a row of 
newly-built, elegant houses, with handsome gardens and a catho¬

stand with their gardens, is called the Green Bank, and is a 
very agreeable promenade.

Voyage from Falmouth to Boston, 
[The Pallas sailed from Falmouth Bay on the 18th of June, 
and arrived on the 26th of July. During the voyage a midship¬ 
man was lost overboard, and the American ship Schuylkill, in

ceived the Cross of the Legion of Honour, after the battle of 
Wagram—the second, when my son William was born. My 
landing in America, that country which, from my early youth, 
had been the object of my warmest wishes, will, throughout life,

Boston . 
ON our arrival in Boston we took lodgings at the Exchange 
Coffee-house, where I received a visit from Mr. Andrew Ritchie,

much pleased to see this worthy man again, who eighteen months 
since married the daughter of Mr. Otis, formerly a senator of the 
United States and leader of the federal party; both these gentle-
