"_Dream II._--General D----, R.M., was one morning conversing with me on the subject of dreams, and gave me the following relation:--'I had the command of the marines on board a frigate, and in company with another frigate, (giving names and date,) was proceeding to America, when, on joining the breakfast table, I told my brother officers that I had had a very vivid and singular dream. That I had dreamed that the day was calm, as it now was, and bright, but with some haziness in the distance; and that whilst we were at breakfast, as we now are, the master-at-arms came in and announced two sail in the distance. I thought we all immediately ran on deck--saw the two ships--made them out to be French frigates, and immediately gave chase to them.

The General had but just concluded his narration, when a coincidence took place, little less extraordinary than that of the dream and its attendant circumstances.--The door opened, and a gentleman rushed into the room with all that eagerness which characterizes the unexpected meeting of warm friends after a long absence--and immediately after the first cordial greetings, General D---- said--'My dear F----, it is most singular, that although we have not met during the last fifteen years, and I had not the most distant expectation of seeing or hearing from you, yet you were in my thoughts not five minutes ago--I was relating to my friend my extraordinary dream when on board the ----; you were present, and cannot have forgotten it.' Major F---- replied, that he remembered
