London. Extract of a letter from Vienna, Feb. 24.  An
expression of the B---p of O---g's, when Jonas, the slight-
of-hand man, was lately diverting the royal children, is
talked of with much pleasantry at St. James's.  Jonas, it
seems, had exhibited many dexterous feats, with which the
children were highly delighted; at last the B---p bursting
into a loud laugh, exclaimed, "Why, Jonas, I fancy you could
conjure peoples heads away, and if you will only take off my
brother C----s's, who stands greatly in my light, I shall be
highly obliged to you."
