It is bete that the stormy day of life finishes for every one : the poet of the Gardens, the victor of Bison, the seeressor of Lavoisier repose tranquilly, protect. •d by the esteem of mankind, ■ed it is among them that one of the boss orators of the age is about to take for ever his residence. In thi, assembly of relatives and friends, it is less the statesman obese loss +e deplore, thsie the moan enclosed with the most transeendeot qualities. Let •s leave to Ilistory, the in Ilesible organ of troth, the duty of miss to the Minister a jolt tribute of pane gyric : it is sighs ■ad lien which the sight of his tomb demands. Invested with the highest dignities of the State, be was stabilities of sitting among this literary body, in which merit, not rank, determines elevation. May big shear be sensible to the voice of a college, aoJ a friend ! Louis Michel Etienne !teemslt de Saint Jess itPAngely was at Etrgesu, whore bis father vas president of the bailiage. Ile studied at Paris, and the success of his youth already foretold the re rttlishie oa.•, who has since played so Important a character. Ai the age of 17 he was sensed. by the town of St. Jean d'Angely, Deputy to the Constitu ent Astembly. Ile distingoirher! himself in it by ■ Dr.:tient and ready el , que:.c.. sod by a courageous attachment to the principles of Constitutional Me inst.-I.!. At the Federsititon of 179'3 he marched with the National Guard to sage the King ; on the 10th August, he exposed himself in the defence of the Hosing re-entered private life, he maintained by his writings the principles which he had soppotted by his actions awl his oratory, and ep to the last moment he defended the Throne and the Constite. lions! Mniiirch, heftine it was defending the corn. try_ After the 21st Jimmy, Al. Itognselt left Paris : the Gendarmerie brooght him back ; he sue corded in escaping and was outlawed. A woman to whom he was united by affection and the dearest lies, his (list mistres4, the mother of his sou, con. rested bins during his proscription, and, as we have witnessed so many times during oar civil discords, it us, rnurageo•s tenderness which send the victim coin the cr-sel abuses of power. On Ike 13th Vendtmiaire, Rev iewlt look pert with the sections, and was again persecuted. The Army of holy became his refuge; he was plated by its Commander in Chief at the head of a Military Administration. Th. espedirins to F.s)pt was undertaken. M. Renneslt embarked with it, bat a serious illness corn. polling him in stop at Malta, he remaised there w ith the title of Commissary id the Government. Re. called by the Directory, sear dangers outfaced him, when the 13th Brumaire affirm!. Under the Consular regime, repo,* and happiness word promised to France. NI.

As • nobles men, we have always seen him faith ful to the party of justice, imitate' power wit:•ftet Irritating it, end giving to troth ell the charms which she borrows from eloquence. As a private man, we knew him anal, compassionate, active, inexhaustible in hin.iness, and never enjoyirg a lively or pies parable sensation that had net been penalised by conferring some benefit. If all those whom be bad benefited were assembled at this sad ceremony, their number alone would constitute the Noblest paoegyric. After the ►etreat from Moscow, M.

On the tOth of March, M. Retina%lt, who was bound by an enisesteent, resealed toe post is which lie could onto wore be useful to his country.

Exiled to a foreign sky, separated from his friends and his family, deprived of thee, sweet affections which were to him esistence itself, reduced to the impnesibi , ity of doing good, his ►ealth declined. This cir commence, joined to his in q uietude as to the fate of a beloved family, brought him back to Eerope. I will not, Gentlemen, again detail the creel rigours which abridged his days; I will not depict him driven frees nylons to asylum, and reduced to seek night by night, sod day by day, refuge from ihr violent persecutions of the subaltern agents of power. The *oil .f France became free—the Ministry was changed—the cries of nor unhappy compatriots reach ed the Throne, sod the real of M. Regnault was signed. Some (flys of ►appiness might yet hero shone apron him : the wife and the son, who had lavished aoc► tender ears open him, accompanied him; his friends, hie ►elation, awaited with impatience the hoer of his a►rirel. Alas! he was no mote. Ili, ryes could scarcely look epon the beloved soil of France, and he came es if to salute it with his lest sigh. It was sere• o'clock whew M.

A near relative of N.

By advice• from Buenos Ayres of the latter end of December, we learn that the markets were over stocked with European goods, and were likely to remain In till the opening of commerce with Peru.— The difficulty of obtaining produce, iu ►eturn for the articles sold, had been greatly i tl by the hostilities between AITIOAS and the Porto. geese. By recent intelligence from Lints, some de. tails hurl been received of the movements of the Royalists its thst quarter. General StnriA, who commanded in Upper Pero, harLisseed a proclama. lion, ordering all loyal Spaniards to leave their homes and to repair to Oruro, where the army was to con. mitres, itself. The Buenos Ayres politicians, how. ever, calculate that this position is not tenable, and that Lord COCHIAng, with the independent aqua. dron, would keep the whole coast on the alert, and by threatening Lima, Arequipa, and Arica, compel the Royalist army to swore its retreat to Lime, by likings position on the coast. It was stated that the Viceroy, PCIIIIII.A, rendered uneasy by the delay of the Maria Isabel frigate and her convoy, had ordered the Vengstiaa and Esmettlil frigates to proceed to the southward for their protecrioe. If this informa• motion should prove correct, Lord Comtism may have an opportunity of intercepting the only two Spanish frigates restraining in these seas. A letter from an Oliker of his Majesty's ship Ma. gicieune, contains some int.restleg particulars y e . •petting the Cabalva East I ndiansaa, which it will he ►eeellected was wrecked en the Cergados shoal, when her Cemmander,the Assistant Surgeon, and fearleen men were drowned ; the remainder of the crew were saved, sod taken of the island by the Magicienne frigate. The loss of the Willies is estimated at 2,000,0001. sterling; she bad specie en board to the easeeet of 21,0001. besides a moat valuable cargo, not one-fourth part of which it was hared could be saved. It having been reported that the body of the unfortunate Captain DALIILYMPLIC, her Commander, bad not been Wed, we are enabled to state that this is iacerrect ; and it may afford some consolation to his numerous relatives sod friends to know, that his remains were discovered and interred with every so lemnity, on the island of Cargados. The Officers of' the Magicientie, a party of marines, said 45 men, at. tended the mournful ceremony. and the funeral stir. vice was read by Captain Puarts,of the Magicienne. The figurehead of the Cobalt% (a Druid) with a suit able inscription castod on it, bus been set op, to mark the spot where his remains are deposited.

This has pasted ow until a few eeis sine., when Bonaparte was sa.l.l.nly seized with serious illness, in the solddle of tu. night.
