The few gazettes that are published at Manila are entirely under the control of the government; and a resident of that city must make up his mind to remain in ignorance of the things that are passing around him, or believe just what the authorities will allow to be told, whether truth or falsehood.
During a considerable time the unofficial gazettes, though much more garrulous and amusing than the official gazette, were scarcely less courtly. Whoever examines them will find that the King is always mentioned with profound respect. About the debates and divisions of the two Houses a reverential silence is preserved.
Among his treasures had been some copies of so-called "beer gazettes," humorous sheets got up to be read at German students' merrymaking. The copies in his possession contained sketches by Frederick, both of a humorous and serious character. "I exude talent?" Frederick exclaimed, blushing. "Never, Willy.

The gazettes will tell you better, I suspect, than I can what is doing in the House of Representatives.

The governor looked at his adjutant who, rising, went to a table on which were a pile of official gazettes.
The obituary column is just the last formality which gazettes us out of the service altogether," and Sutch stretched out and eased his crippled leg, which fourteen years ago that day had been crushed and twisted in the fall of a scaling-ladder. "I am glad that you came before the others," continued Feversham. "I would like to take your opinion.
If we follow this younger brother to Philadelphia and to Bradford's "American Mercury" or to Franklin's own "Pennsylvania Gazette," or if we study the "Gazettes" of Maryland, Virginia, and South Carolina, the impression is still the same. The literary news is still chiefly from London, from two months to a year late. London books are imported and reprinted.
