dvocacy. But the House of Lords has answered it in advance; though the question of indemnification is still left open. But I cannot doubt that England will treat this as she would treat the demand for the surrender of the fugitives.

I rose early,—six o'clock; studied Italian,—Dante, Tasso, and Macchiavelli; studied all works on art,—Lanzi, Vasari, De Quincy, &c.; visited galleries and churches; mused in the Forum; and, in the shadows of summer evenings, sat on the stones of the Colosseum.
