o. r. Q.-Some of our readers may bear in mind, that we mentioned two or three months since, Hashy letter written by the notorious John Henry to the Duke of Wellington, and published in Paris pa- per. It may be proper to state that this same John Henry is the gentleman who sold bag of wooden nutmegs to the ad- ministration of 1.-the general government, which paid him with all customary econo- my $5O,OOO for his manufacture. He is, we have heard, a native of Ireland--was once wine merchant in Boston, then a toe ry lawyer in Canada, whence he carried to Washington his assortment of notions, which were distributed, as all recollect passing like pendulum, from one extreme to another, traitor to the British and the American Government, he is now figuring as reformer in Europe," and it is coni- dently asserted that the letters in the Lon- don Morning Chronicle, signed O. P. Q. are from the pen of the said John Henry. The samo Mr. Henry is probably we'll paid for his productions and predictions but, as he often meddles with British politics, as well as those of the Continent, we may fear that the " instrument'' will bring dis- grace upon the measure and the " Reform Bill" the Lord Chancellor, and all above and below, may contract odium from the character ofthe man. Henry, tits remem- bered, lost his $5O.OoO in a purchase of land and title, of some Marquis de "SaHs terre," whose castle was in Spain. He may be fishing for ribbon now and his American feats will suggest title that can- not be mistaken.-U. s. Gazette.
