the expenses would be !ighf, for the rent of hou

The disposition or the major part of the Inha

gone aa entire change for the bettcri since the
6rt or second week of our occupation. Our
soldiers hats made It t point to behave with

gentlemanly deportment hat completely wofl

of friendly aasociationa formed, which when the
army cornea to move off, will cause many a re

I have often heard tcl! of Mexican politenesa,
and I must confess that the universal exhibition
of that quality is calculated to impress one fs
votatily. There is no sfiectationvand no mere
ceremony m it, but it seems to be the offspring
of a genuine derive Tin their part to be civil to
sll they meet. And thta characteristic is not
confined to the tipper wlkoThTe butpervsdes
the whole body of the people. Indeed the high
est data have exhibited less of it than the other
portion of society, and they seem to be the on
Ivnortion between whom snd our officer! a per
fen good "flnderstanding baa not yet been estab
lished. This hauteur has, however, bepun to
"wea'rdfc. Vftd anticipate in a very short time
its entire disappearance to animate the whole
people when we first came lierey and I do not
believe that it ia proof against our civilities.

Gentlemen. nb'ttced in you paper of tfe 221
May, fc tefort af the yrdceedingt frt a London
Foftce Court, in which the Countess of Morning
ton figcred at an applicant for ptoper relief a
tkinst her. histlnd; Villiam WeV.eatey Pole
Long, the EaVl of kfomingfon ; and I also tb
aerved in y'our last weeV'a paper, some tditoral
remarka in explknation ef the position and char
acter of the 'respective parties to thi enso. As,
however, your account, though correct, is not
V&it,'r.hd a the htttory of the pair involves a
romance of "pe'c'cliar interest, will take the li-
befty of offering you a brief aketchofit main
featurea.
The name of the present Earl of Morningtort
was William Weilesly Pole, and he tsa member
of the Wellesly family of which the Duke of
Wellin'gt0h fa the distinguished head. Instead
of being creditable to hia connections, however,
he became, immediately on arriving at his ma
jority, a, reckless, brutal debauchee, and carried
his excesses to such a degree, that he waa not
only discarded by hia family, but generally avoid
ed by 'til persons of an equal rank ts a discredit
able acquaintance. After having spent several
years in licentious lnxfiry, he fell in with an
krhiaole young lady named Tilney Long, UhA,
m addition to the possession of a fine person and
exemp'ary character, Wis tbe 'richest heiress in
the British dominions.
Being a man of dashing appearance and fasci
nating manners, Wellesley Pole attracted th
young ady's attention, and sooi succeeded in ob
taining that favor in her eyes which the wor
thiest nobleman of the kingdom had sought to
inspire in vain. She waa warned against his
character, but warped with passion, ar.d betrayed
by the false maxim, that " a reformed rake makes
the beat hti&band," "she trusted to her hopes or. l
married him binding him to no condition b
yond the incorporation of her name with his
own. She soon found th&t aha had triads a fatal
mistake, and bad not only to experience the mor
tification of his personal neglect, but to deplore
the wanton squandering uf her immense proper
ty. No extravagance was too great for him, enc
to mob an extent did he carry 1 is wste, thai
even the venerable oaks which stood around the
manor bouse of her vast es:tites, vers cuf
down Vo supply his dugracelY.I wants.
While pursuing this career, he met with tbe
beautiful wife of Captain Diigti in the fashiona
ble cir.les of Londob a'ociety, and being struck
with her extraordinary charms, he adopted to
wards htr series .'of attentions that finally eHecteit
her seduction. The guilt of the partis was soon
discovered. The seducer lelt for the continent
to escape tiie vertgednbe cf the husband, and the
wife of the fugitive retired from soeirty, tha vie
tiro, of i broken heart. 1 11 plain HUgh, who Lad
loved his wife most tenderly, prosecute.! for a
divorce, &'nd having obtained it, shortly afler
vVardg died, and waa soon followed td tha grave
by Tilney- Lang, tbe wtelcbtd U-ife of the se
ducer. The field being thus cleared of the two obata
clci io their guilty amour, Mrs. tiligh and Wil
liam Wellesley Pole Long resumed the connec
tion, and for the purpote bf making it tolerable
td society, got tharried to each other.
A connection thus begun, was not calculated of
a lasting character, and the seducer falling intd
the polsesssion of the title of Earl 6f Morning
ton by hia father's death, expelled her from hi
ishment altogether, allowing her a thou
sand pounds a year for ber support. It appears,
however, from the recent proceedings of tb
Marble street Police Court, aa republished in your
paper, that the flight Honorable fcarl, with char
acteristic regard fur his contracts, haa not paid
any porticn cf tbit turn fbr a period of fourteen:
years, snd that my lady the Counted has beeil
bb'liged in consequence to apply to S police Court
for pauper relief to keep her from tbe parish
poor house. Tbis, getitlerherl, Is but tine chap
ter in the moral ef the arlltdcraty of London.
This ia the "uHfdttlinate and much abused lady'
whom your female: readers doubtlea felt such a
large torfcrtiisSefation fbr, and thia Earl ia the
"Cerieroua gentleman" whose inordinate wife re
futeJ td receive, according to the report, the1
sum of $1000 a year, as adequate to the wajits of
her atation.
I trust that they will be recognised in their
lr'- light, tnd I elsa trust that While the reader
condemns them to a deserved infamy, that I shall
gain my object in writing thia article, by im
pressing Lpuh them another proof, that a tak
aeldom refornia until nature gives out, and that
a man, who has been once thoroughly corrupted,
la likely to mfcke tba moat dangerous bf hut'
