AULDJO'S VISIT TO CONSTAINITINOPLE.
Ma.

Mr. Aut.ndo kept a daily journal of all h. • r. 1, when these were wanting, of what he th.mght, his ex:.00rs: :to ori,..•1,.1 [hie the requisite quantity of matter t, .. the octavo volume It will be concluded from our description of some id its sidojeets, that the .loons/ has little novelty it motel., nor Iris it tract[ depth or keenness of observation : neither id...-. !he w: se:. :11 to possess any of that seientilie which slial-p.,ns the natural factiltie.:, or in a measure supplies tiwir sentinion!al, he writes notisen-q.; his clasHrai ein11.1•M•tn is not much better; but his descriptimis are clear, plait, and u miff 41011, with a kind of amusing vivacity that renders 1110111 ;e!reealile, and when the circumstances have an inh.rest in themselves, they lose nothing by his mode of telling. As he sojourned at Constaroti- nople during a stirring time, and seems to have lived alteeethee in diph matic and military society, he has; transii.trel to his pages some of the spirit and feelings of the eirel,s in whielt lie mingled, and which give to parts of his work a eon vetitional interest. The Journal, in short, is an agreeable hodje-poilge; fresh, lively; and frequently amusing, and never straining the attention it' it tails to excite it.
In the course of our author's travels, lie encountered some great personages. He saw Orin) King of Greee.‘ soon after his arrival in his dominions; had his brother the Prince of Bavaria for a fellow passenger on board the steamer, (and a very d'sageeeable one we are told ho made); and was likewise ht meircol by the Dutehess DE BERILI treading the same deck with hint..0:1*. We take a description of the lady and an anecdote of the Pi i111.0.
TOE HEROINE OF LA VENDEr.
'f he Duteliess came on hoard with her husband and suite, Count Men ire, and the Prince and Princess _—. I Icr I i, is by no means a It uols,,,,e- lute ; and she is very short, thin, and vulgar-looking. Nothing in bar per-411111 appe tr- ance marks her out far a heroine, or is calculated to inspire her follawers with the awe and respect with which they serail to worship 1,.r. down to whist with her husband, Itineta, and tlw old Pri114.0-s St. Theodore ; hoe the game received many unpleasant inters optiolts front the pitching and roilbut of the boat. Each time the tit came on, she sprang opo•I the beneli on whirl.; she had been sitting, and after bending her head rarer Or• vesscrs side, quietly sat down again to resume her cants. This lather Ion.,, ii unlady-like exhibition occurred repeatedly ; and we sc.--re impressed with the idea that her manners altogether were very unlitting her rank ait,1 steam. As it was publicly known that we had the Dandies, the Berri on le, tad, she ut • treated considerable attention ; otherwise her cur; tge w4,441,1 Hee, h lye di._ tinguished her front the most ordinary passenger. Our ('.Mist friend itppc wad on the quarter-deck, wearing thecolours of his party; at first she trek no notice of' him ; but at length it occurred to her that he might be a spy its disguise, and she haughtily demanded who he was. 1111., hayalry and devotion were not proof against this affront : in an instant he retreated below, and It tying dist-WI/in- bered himself of the once-cherished badge. reappeared on dad: with a counte- nance glowing with indignation; and, if 1 3111 not much deceived, Louis Philip gained a convert from that moment.
We had a great increase of passengets, besides the Datchcss anti her suite ; most of whom, being unaccustomed to sailing, were rptickly4ei their bc,inz-eivls. The weather, which at starting had threatened to be storinv, rum. Elea:v.1 lip ; and, though the evening was calm and beautiful, a heavy swell still contitine.1 to render the motion of the vessel disagreeable. The heroine of lea Vendee is sleep-. ing in her man chair ; the faithful i1enars repo,.., at her fi.er ; and her husband, whom she hardly seems to notice, is sitting on a bench beside her.
MAN-OF-WAR DUCIPLINE—STRICT IF TRUE.
I went on hoard the Madagascar in the evening, and enjoyed a pleasant confab with the officers. There is a striking difference in the tempers and dispositions of the two royal brothels; the one bring greatly Is-loved, while the other is dis- liked by every person in the ship. The King (Otho) is very kind anstaffable, giving no unnecessary trouble, and mixing fru:0y with the midshipmen and auto's; many a lonelocon has he partaken Or in the den of the former: Ilia brother (the prince of RIV.tria ), On the contrary, kali fuss and soperciliou•ness; and the very first morning after he embarked, the Cartain was compelled to read him a practical lecture On the necessity of coin:dyne; with the established regulations.
