WHAT'S DOING.

We have collected some scraps for our monthly summary, but the kindness of our valuable contributors bas left us
little room. An Editor hardly knows how much space he will have until his other matter is in type.

Since writing the Review of Mons. Violet, &c., we learn that he is a French adventurer who figured in Texas un.

der the title of Count de Narbonne. He obtained Kendall's Sketches, &c., from Mr. Falconer, one of the Sanie Fé

prisoners.
