Have you seen Sir Sydney Smith, since his escape from France? A correspondent overheard one Gentleman ask another; who replied, I saw him making his escape! God bless me! aye, and in what manner did he do it? As all superior spirits do, surrounded with fire! You astonish me, I do no understand how it could be. Do you doubt me? Go to ASTLEY’s, and you’ll see the same! Ho, ho, rejoined the enquirer, then that comical genius is exhibiting Sir Sydney? Aye, in quite an uncommon style, and as he is only to be exhibited a few evenings, embrace the opportunity while you can, and be early, or you will not get in.
