Will the said Paragraphist get the Editor of the Herald clear of imposing on his readers, when
he says the news brought by the Brazilian is given in this day's Herald as selected from London papers to the 20th of April.
A comparison with the columns of the Herald of yesterday and those of the Ledger of to-day will prove that he who finds all the news bro't by the Brazilian in the Herald his opticks must be very indeed. If there were none but democratic papers we should be wonderfully well informed of passing events.
