Not only has Buonaparte [Napoleon] taken the French kingdom and the Duc d'Angouleme from the Bourbons but the Dean and Chapter have barbarously taken away the Easter holiday. Miss Barton is expecting Walter Scott at dinner; he was expected at St Mary's last Sunday and the church was crowded to excess but he did not appear. Sculled below Nuneham; very pretty, with seats and a cottage for refreshments.
