EXCLUSIVE INTELLIGENCE. TOPICS OF THE DAY.
" Great news, great news t—Too-too-too!"—NEwsmEN, passim.
PEACE between Russia and Turkey was concluded and signed last week, ha the Atlas ; but the news was so entirely exclusive as not to have included any particle of truth. Our large friend, who from the infirmity of corpulence cannot help puffing a little when running be- fore events with great news, concludes his very circumstantial intelli- gence by saying,—" There are some who would deprive us of the claim to that priority which has always distinguished our special articles of news." Now Heaven forbid! for in truth his priority is so great as to be antecedent to the fact.
The boy in the fable who cried " wolf," might with similar justness have boasted the earliest intelligence, exclusive of the wolf itself.
