Montreal, January 14. The face of affairs is now greatly
changed.--dancing, feasting, and merriment, go swingingly
round.--The greatest harmony and the best understanding now
subsists between both sexes--The black and white mingling
together in nocturnal assemblies form an undistinguished
band, where, throwing off the painful restraint of ceremony,
our youth freely unbend their minds from the labour of the
day by indulging themselves in innocent and inoffensive
diversion.--A smart young lieutenant t'other day (according
to the gallant mode) saluted his saluted his [sic] sable
partner with, "How do-you feel E** this morning, after your
last night's fatigue ?"--So much for Montreal news.
