-,ATIT OF 7711 :SUL ANJ THE BIRTH OF THE EMPEROR. DR, IF FIR-S 7 CON! All the world knows slut the Corsican First Con ii was born on the 9th of Nuvemher 1799, and tar, otter a short hilt troublesome life, he expired rt the iSth "I May, 1801. But, as various reports awe circulated concerning the manner and circum- Ances of his death, w. haste's to lay Ifefore our racier% the particul.trs of that melancholy event. lt?, disorder of which this great man died was the .ing's evil. degenerated into en Imperial purple tver, which conrinuid with very little interruption rom the day he wa. by a Sena:us Consultus iie 'used a First Consul for life. l'he s7mptoms, how vet. chewed 'themselves much earlier : they were isiblt in June rsoo. after swallowing the Marengo Iraught. which Dodor rkssaix, by sacrificing thin tlf so generoutly, procured the First Consul. The mesetiption, in Fehtuary s l9ol, increased Item ; and the Amiens o ntment, used in April. ito2, made them so alarming. that a consultation rats frrund necess try among all the Luxemburgh sucks, who admiluistetel ajtalliative, destrutlive 5 the very c•m;tiPution of the patient, whose com taints the Enetsh ph an: Pitt, Windham. and ;renvilLs, then pre li4 x, tl Ihe mortal, notwith tending Doictor Foe's assiirar re of having felt the ufferer's pular., and found it rteady often, lower ometimes, but ne'er inclined !n, raise. In Fehrn atr , t .d. the complaint took an um tpe.R.d tiro. BT the advie- of his family and riends, 'h- First Coitsril. therefore, tried to persuade tic royal master ti. swallow some Pritssian blue. and o bestow upon him, in return. the qualities the tourbon pills are ITerisn to possess for fourteen cam urines not doriStingtet obtain from them a desirable re, thringi, during the fifteen and sixteen last .ars, s •venal impostors hare pretended not only to oseis ennally meritorious medicines, hut to have covered that the composition of these pills is no niter either salubrious or gensiine. Unluckily for the Feel Consul, these pills ronld it he hnunlit, notwithstanding th- high price of red, and he was therefore obliged to, drag on a tie longer a miserable exiitenrr, becoming more supportable when the English physicians with- VW ' after he had been imprudent enough to pick s a quarrel ah 14111 a Maltese mange. Then arose ithin him such a rrodigi ,, tlS n, it war, as he termed that he was tweed to take rtledstlteS with his apn ecary for blinging up, in one way or other, all e ingredients he had devoured since the prelitni wies of the first of October, 1801. Alas ! tutor fal ! it was no petty intestine commotion wth in, no trifling Toulon or Paris disturbance, as one ay say, but a furious sweeping deluge, as if the raring torrent of British loyalty had visited him in 1 its wrath. The help of man was in vain. The AN lecairy trembled, the Bonapartes cried, the Senator s red, the Tribunes roamed, the Bishops prayed, and le Legion of Honour raved. A Council of State was unmnoed, but its members could do nothing but reoulat.- on the progress of the disease. The placid alleyrand produced the abundant proofs of the dis •cier, which he had collided and preserved fur that irpose. The Councillors, on iniprdion, gave a metal groan, and the Minister lifted up his hag led eves, which seemed to ask if nn help could be ,and i " Yes!" said the intrepid tilers, n he is cured we r in bring also' a cleitent." A descent alone an cm* answere 1 all voiiei. " Yes" re rated the dying First Consul, " a descent or not a 'scent ? that is the question " This idea was ea erly applauded over all France ; and it is imposii le to say what goof clF.Cts it might have produced, ad it been adontad hnt, as it involved an operation stuvry, nest admitted into regular prallice ' the Mdical gentlomen present refused to a d iniodelicate ed momentous an affair. An end was then put to all et therproceedings, and the Council hrokeup, leaving to poor First Conseil in a deplorable state of body ad mind. Such was his situation inlast January,when lillesranst after ruminating and meditating day ad night, and night and day, and kiving kat ned y heart the Commentaries of Cr 'At and the history CromwelPs Prntedorate, thought he had found of a remedy, which, it it dud not destroy the ialady, would at least, kill the patient. His icipe was to in's, with same I'm mer 'evolutionary anspiracy drags, some ounces of pure Bourbon food from,shiet branch which was a:ways esteemed, Nen beloved, and never hated by the French people. 'be Duke ot I..ng:.ien was there tote veiled, insulted, ilumniated, and immolated. But though the First !ennui highly relished this medicine, and took it 'eh avidity, its efFeds from March 22e1 to Maw th, were very contrary to what might be expelled om his hardened constitution. It deprived him of all rep during the night, and of all rest during the day, id brought on a delirium, during which he raved of ''thing but plots and conspiracies, of sharpened stiles. es and poisoned draughts. Newts heard at intervals call nut a, from remorse of conscience; " There not a house at 'Fink'', not a street inParis, a village the banks of the Nile, nor a habitation on the banks the Po, where widows and orphans do not curse ph the former lamenting the loss of their husbands, Id the latter deploring the untimely end et their mints, thanks to my itshli atehievements ! Last ght, methought, I saw the angry shades of the rousands and thousands by me drowned. poisoned. ni murdered, Frenchmen, Italians, Germans, fucks, Mame:tikes, Egyptians, Arabs, and bre:.methought they attempted to tear me " On the 18th of May s in the morn g, the delirium almost increased to a phrenry, so itch so, that when the a.v'a?le Josephine pre med herself, he called out, " lk gone, prostitute, ith those impure embraces, Barra rewarded my roeities !" In this crisis, Cie new born Arch. hancellor, ci-destat Second Cunsul, Cambaceres, rived st the head of the laixernburgh quacks, Iled Sinators, and administered to the raving and Firing First Consul, the following calming and re ring salutation : ' 4 Sire and Emperor ! the CM/en di First Consul exist no mote. Fitty of your Ma accomplices of the clasercaivre senate have dr ew,' the latter, and proclaimed yon the Sovereign ensefnr over thirty millions of Frenchmen." The blow hoe of Be' Corsican skin, at these words, ernes: to assume a reddish cnioue, and in the et !Ili heart, he stammered, of rather whis red, " Serene Hi4htsess, Cambaceres! is it pos ale ? Am I worthy such a grandeur, conferred me with the !war voice of the Great Nation ? co my esploits and virtues as a General and First Consul, deserve an Imperial diadem ? What do my contemporaries think, and what will posserity say of my modesty, disinterestedness, and patriotism, in accepting this high and unlimited power, in a country of liberty and equality " Ah ! my graciou; master," answered Cambaceres, " with the same right I have saluted you an Emperor in the name i.f the French People, with the same confi -Ince I can answer for the opinions of posterity e,, Sire, the renown of your good works, has spread round the universe ! Every thion and trans *Rion of yours. recorded by your contemporaries, -will he read with a terror mixed with admiration, by future ages. Your name will be confounded with that of these great men, a Sylla, a Marius, a Nero, a Caligula. a Marat, and a Robespierre. Nay ! the remotest posterity will place you much above them. Their panutic deeds were mere children's play, mnpared to your heroic performances.— None of them had, at the age of '25, so conquered human nature, as to dilltch with tang froid, 10 or 12,000 disarmed men, or defenceless women and children. To none of them was it possible to say, with the same truth, as to your Majesty, " There is no crime yon hope not 4acetn irrpetrated: nor a virtue that you bare not willfully riotateri, insulitil, and seamed." These are undeniable claims to revolu tionary authority, and a genuine merit, to obtain a revolutionary scepter, deserving in revolutionary countries, not only thrones, but altars. TEI'uNINHOKERA'WEN;* Or, CAPT. JOHN NORTON, THE MOHAWK CHIEF. Of the many illustrious strangers who hare occa sionally visited Bath, we may consider this interest ing American as by no means the least respeCtable. Though stay was little more than three days (Ironer nesday to the ensuing Friday), yet the short interval was filled up with such numerous traits of an amiable disposition and a vigorous intellel, as produced the most pleasing impressions of his ells refer on all who had the pleasure of being intro duced to him. A proof of his possessing, in a high &Tree. the qualities of a good temper, and great mental quicioiess. occurred at the Upper Rooms, where he appeared, in the dress of his country, on Thursday evening last. A young Englishman, who had been in America, accosted the Chief with seve. rat abrupt questions respelling his place of abode, and situation in iife. To these Nor:on returned answers at once pertinent and modest. The inquirer, however, expres•ed himself dissatisfied with them ; and hinted, in almost pain terms, that he believed hint to be an impostor s Still the American preserved his temper, endeavoured to convince the Gemilema.l that his account of himself might be depended upon. %Veil but," returned the other, " if you really are what you pretend to be ; how will you relish return ing to t::C AISVIT'I of your own t ountry l" " Sir." re plied Norton, with a glance of intelligence, " I shall not experience so great a chingc in my society as you may imagine, for I find there are sareees in this country also. Animated with the spit it of genuine patriotism, this generous chieftain is unweariedly occupied, during the intervals of his public business, in acquiring every species of useful knowledge, for the purpose of transporting it tohis own country, and benefiting Isis people ; and (what the friends to the happiness of men will hear pith still rreater admira tion and pleasure) is also engaged (under the auspi ces of Mr. Wilberforce aril Mr. Thornton) in the laborious employment of translating the Gospel of St. John into his native tongue. Teyoninhokera'wen appears to be about forty-five years of a,ze ; his person is tall, muscular, and well proportioned; his countenance fine and int.lligent, illuminated with " an eye like Mars to threaten and command." His mother being a Scotch woenan,and he himself having spent two years of his life (from 13 to 15) in b.dinburgh ; hr has acquired sufficient knonledge of the English to read it with ease, and speak it with Harney : the French language also is equally familiar to him. Assisted by great natural sagacity, and habits of Jeep refleCtion, he appears to have e hied more than could have been expelled front the circumstances of his place of birth, and the state of society in which he has spent his life, and has not only worked out, by the energies of his own mind, many schemes for the improvement of ba county), and the benefit of WVS, but also ac (juired a very considerable share of moral, political, and philosophical information. His wile is a female of his own tribe, by s"bom he has two children. • SI •It open Duet PRFVENTED.—On Tuesday evening a dis pute took place at a Coffee-house in the neighbour hood of Lombard -street, between two merchants well known upon the walks of the Royal F.x change, which fur a time promised most serious con sevences. The quarrel originated at the Play-house the preceding Saturday, and the parties meeting, a mutual explanation was demanded ; the result was, that a meeting was proposed the next morning on Kennington Common, which in all probability would have taken place, but for the following singular oc currence : rhe parties, in their desire to arrange their worldly concerns, re aired the same evening. almost at the same time, to the same Solicitor, a Nth. L. a respedahle Attorney in the city. They were ushered into separate moms, and having each disclosed his fatal secret, confessed his apprehensions for the consequences of the next day s interview ; and earnestly intreated that no steps might be taken to prevent the intended meeting. The attoiney, in his turn, professed his mutual regard tor the parties, and expressed a wish to reconcile their differences. He acquainted each with the loft of his antagonist being in the adjoining room, and of a mutual regret for what had happened, observing also, that, it called upon, he would attest their courage as Gen tlemen, and Men of honour. He added, jocosely, that they had better adjourn to the Cofee.house from whence they had come, Ere a volley of grape across the table, and content themselves with wins re: the game of another's l.dksg, than make :put for the town by Johiag one weaker. The parties con sented, were introduced to each other, shook hands, and the next morning, by the time they should have set out on se,Y devi , reroo, they were r ut to bed, to sleep off the effeds of the night's encounter in the field of Ba,chase. The Solicitor, through the whole affair, proved himself a most able rrcw,d, and, for the first time in his life, pleased both plaintiff and defendant, though the parties were compelled to pay their own outs.

No vessel dare stir out of port for fear of being taken, and unfortu nately we have no ship whatever in this port capable of meeting her. On the 10th instant, one of our coast-surveyors gave notice of her to the Custom- House; she appears to be well manned, and carries about 14 guns, and is so daring, that a few days ago she ventured into a !whom's mouth, two leagues off Red head. Some think she has been sent by the French Government, to reconnoitre the coast. If that be not her ohjea, it is feared she will take some vessels bound here. FEMBRoIasIIIRE.
