PREcBDENcE.---.A Kenuckiaa ctaiming t1Fecedeacs of Coaat,-We were yesterday shown letter ffon young gentleman -a native oi Kentucky, who is now in R1me- the Eternal City-to his fiands in this S,atc. lie gives graphic description of his jour ney from Paris, thither, and reclteS one anus ing incident of travel, which Is worth trans crlbng. He states that in the boat in which he travelled on the Rhone, from Lyons 10 Aylgnon, he was half lamished with cold, and nearly whole starved with hunger. He tried orlbe to the cook, and entreaty with the captain-but neither availed him in obtaining dinner. After pacing the deck for some tlme, mentally calling anathemas on the heads of all Frenchmen in general, and the surly boat-captain in particular, whose pas sen9ef he was, he hurried down to the cabin, Tor the purpose of getting a segar and pulling It instead of blowing up the captain. There to his astouishment, and not without excit- Ing his envy, he found taliow-laced Rus sian Coant-Count Orlof-tiscussing a very hne dinner, the obsequious captain standing behind his chair, apparently honored with being permitted to act as hls waiter

 And what the h-l if he be-" said the kentuekan, who was as ardent as a HeSiera sun could make hm-,.If he be Couai, I'm kentuckian: l'd like to know which should rank higher?o

 ''Pardonne; monsieur" said the captain -''Y ou be a wllich;-dat be title of one nohlenan Anglaise, eh;n

 "No,o said the Kentuckan, bluntly- .'that is the title of an American sovereign''

 ''Ah,'. said the little French captain, shrug- ging up his shoulders, and lowing down his head-sah, excusez, monsieur-pardonne did no know you be one gran noblemans :; but now l get your dinner, louie snite;:n and in due time the dinner was brought-to which, with the addition ofa bottle of spark ling hook, the young Kentuckian did ample justice. He says he has never known so agreeable an instance of the respect which the American name inspires abroad, as that occasion afforded him.
