The eye is now sensibly relieved, as the coast again becomes elevated, and the chalk cliffs reappear, crowned with green wav ing tufts of forests and orchards. At ten miles beyond the Somme, and eighteen leagues from gris-nez, is visible the gap or opening at the river Bresle, which marks the southern limit of Picardy. N ow, putting helm aport, we bear south-west along the rock-bound coast of Normandy, its continuity only broken here at intervals by the openings through which the rivers fall into the sea, and which form several secure harbors, as Dieppe, St. Valery - em-caux, and Fecamp, near the latter of which the bluffs attain an altitude of seven hundred feet. Dieppe is asso ciated with two of our settlers, Lozier and Lemaire.
