ANumber of individuals having severally JAL expressed a wish for the establishment of a News paper in this city, to be conducted by an Editor unfettered by any party connexions, unshackled by subserviency to any local interest, and free from the dictation or caprice of a limited proprietary; and considering the great utility of such an organ for the fair and free discussion of public affairs, whether national or provincial ; it is proposed that a Journal of this description shall, as soon as possible, be established in Edinburgh, under the exclusive management and direction of JAMES BROWNE, LL.D., who has for the last three years edited the Caledonian Mercury Newspaper. Of Dr. 13rowne's fitness for the task assigned him, and his practical acquaintance with the details of a Newspaper no less than the duties of Editor, the readers of the Mercury, while it was under his management, and the public generally, have bad sufficient experience; and without making any professions for the future, he wishes his pretensions to public favour to be judged of by his past exertions. This Journal, under the denomination of " THE NORTH BRITON," will be published Twice every week, viz, on the Wednesdays and Saturdays ; and as there will be a Second Edition of each Paper published soon after the arrival of the Landon Mail on these days, it is respectfufly requested that Subscribers will be pleased to intimate whether they wish for the Morning or Evening Edition. Price cif a single piper, 7d. ; price per annum, 31. 3s. ; when paid in advance, 21. 18s. Price per quarter, 16s. ; when paid in advance, 14s. 6d. Advertisements will be inserted at the lowest rate charged by any Edinburgh Newspaper. As it is proposed that the publication of " THE NORTH BRITON" shall commence early in January, it is peculiarly iiesirahle that those who are friendly to the undertaking transmit their orders, without delay, to the following Booksellers:— Mr. Daniel Lizars, 5, St. David-street ; Messrs. Ca dell and Co., 41, St. Andrew-square; Mr. R. Miller, 92, Prince's-street ; Mr. John Anderson, jun., 35, North Bridge ; Messrs. Maclachlan and Stewart, opposite the College; Mr. William Hunter, 23, Hanover-street; Mr. Robert Grant, 36, Lothian-street; Mr. W. Wilson, 44, George-street ; Messrs. Carfrae and Son, 3, Drummond street ; Messrs. Stillie and Brothers, 140, High -street ; Mr. G. A. Douglas, 19, South Castle-street ; and Mr. A. Hill, 50, Prince's -street, Edinburgh ; Messrs. W. Reid and Son, Leith; Mr. W. R. M'Phun, Trongate, Glasgow ; Mr. C. Sidey, and Mr. James Dewar, Perth. The Westminster Review for January, 1830, (No. 23, just published), thus speaks of Dr. Brovne's Editorial talents, in connection with the Journal which he lately conducted : " Among the most distinguished Papers on the liberal side, is the Caledonian Mercury, edited by Dr. James Browne, a man of distinguished ability, and the writer of several articles in the Edinburgh Review.*** It was reckoned a Tory Paper, although belonging to Mr. Thos. Allen, a wealthy banker, whiggishly inclined. Indeed, till the Scotsman started, it was supposed impossible that a Paper, opposed to the Tories, could prosper, or do less than bring destruction on the editor and proprietors. But since Dr. Browne became its editor, this Paper has become a bold exposer of abuses of all kinds, whether in the City or in the Government. It has also outstripped its com petitors in presenting early reports, and in procuring ex clusive information. In fact, this Paper is an evidence of what the active attention of a single mind can accomplish, even of a mind engaged in many other pursuits."—Art. Scotch Newspaper Press. . . N.B.—The above, of course, applies to the Mercury, while under the management i of Dr. Browne, who, how ever, resigned the editorship of that Journal on the Ist of December last, at which date his connexion with it finally ceased.

THE ATLAS of SUNDAY next, Jan. 17, will contain an Original Document of the highest public importance, given with full details at great length, in which an ingenious Project for Raising the Na tional Revenue, by way of Toll, is submitted to mnsiderr tion. The results proposed in this elaborate view of the complicated machinery of finance are an increase in the income of the country, and a decrease in the individual amount of taxation. It is intended to secure an equsliza • fion of burthens proportionate to the division of property, but to be carried into effect without any of the objection able features of an Income Tax. The ATLAS will also contain, in addition to its usual variety of Origins! Mat ter, a continuation of the Inquiry into the present Lunacy Laws. The great capacity of the ATLAS, being double that of the largest of its contemporaries, enables it to embrace, in a more comprehensive form than any other, all subjects of current interest. A Country Edition is published for Post on Saturday afternoon. The Index of this Journal is now ready, stamped, price 6d. and will be found interesting to all naders, as an Historical Paper for the past Year. Atlas Office, Beaufort-buildings, Strand. SIR THOMAS LAWRENCE. TO THE EDITOR. SIR,--Concurring in the opinions expressed in a letter, signed " A.. 8.," inserted in your Paper of to day, that " the circumstances connected with the demise of all public men are matter of national in terest," I beg leave to inform you, that on Sunday morning last a post mortem examination of the body of the late Sir Thomas - Lawrence took place. The result is stated in a report signed by Dr. Holland, Mr. Green, and Mr. Foster Reeve. A copy of the Report is enclosed, but as its length may render it inconvenient for you to introduce this document into your publication, it is perhaps sufficient to state, that the cause of the late lamented event was found in an extensive and complicated ossification of the vessels of the heart. The enclosed card will, no doubt, satisfy you as to the authenticity of the present communication. I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, Jan. 14. A READER OF THE, TIMES. " POST MORTEM EXAMINATION OF SIR THOMAS LAWAENcs. " On opening the chest, about a pint of fluid was found in the cavities of the pleura. " The heart was somewhat enlarged, with a good deal of fat deposited about it. Its muscular substance, particu larly on the left side, was thickened, and singularly dense in texture. " Morbid appearances generally were observed in the valvular system of the heart. In the tricuspid valve, the margin of the cortina tendinea was preternaturally thickened, and irregular in the interspaces of the attach ment of the chords tendineas. The semilunar valves of the pulmonary artery were extremely thin, and the central one distended into the form of a large pouch. " On the left side of the heart, the mitral valve pre sented a similar appearance of thickening of the cortina tendinea, but in a greater degree than that of the tricuspid valve, and with bony deposits. A ridge of bone extended for some way along the attachment of the cortina to the auricular ventricular opening. " The semilunar valves of the aorta were also much thickened. One of them was much distended, and a har dened ridge was observed following the line of attachment of the valves. In the adjacent part of the aorta there were deposits of bone. " The internal membrane of the aorta was considerably diseased, thickened, and showing a disposition to bony de posit in numerous distinct elevated patches over the whole surface. " The lungs were generally healthy, with the exception of a strong adhesion between the upper lobe of the left lung and the parietes. " The viscera of the abdomen were generally healthy. The kidnies were somewhat larger, and more flaccid than natural. (Signed) " HENRY HOLLAND, M.D. " JOSEPH HENRY GREEN. " Jan. 10." " JOHN FOSTER REEVE." JOSEPHINE.—When she heard of NAPO• LEON'S abdication at Fontainbleau, her distress was un speakable. From that moment her health was seen to decline ; she hourly lamented her inability to console Bo- NAPARTE in his exile; her heart, in fact was broken. ALEXANDER sent her his own physicians; but her case was hopeless : she died three days aferwards, May 29, 1814, with the words, "EIba—NAPOLEON," on her lips. In the Dumfries and Galloway Infirmary there is a patient of the name of WILLLAM STEWART, whose history possesses a melancholy interest. When very young, a companion asked permission to shoot an arrow at his fingers. He consented, and unthinkingly held up his hand before his face. The arrow passed be tween his fingers, stuck in his forehead, and actually put out his left eye. Though the wound was severe, it yielded at length to careful treatment, and left the vision of the other eye very little, if at all impaired. It has often been remarked, that misibrtune rarely comes singly, and so it has fared with poor STEWART, who is still ra ther a young man. About a week ago, he was at work at Portobello quarry, parish of Kirkunzeon, and had just lain a train which be intended to ignite, when the powder by some accident, unfortunately exploded before the match was applied, or the quarrymen had time to get out of the way. The concussion was violent, and, independently of the injury done to others, STEWART became, in one mo ment, not only lame, but blind for life. Both his hands were severely injured, and more particularly the left, from which one of the fingers was removed almost imme diately, and though he felt little pain at the time or since, his eye closed as suddenly as if it had been scathed by lightning. What he complains of chiefly is, coldness, and numbness in the part affeeted, and as he is sow com pletely helpless, we sincerely recommend him to the notice of the humane.--Dumfries Courier. The appearance of the poor girl was well calculated to excite pity, and the story she told, if true, to create a lively sympathy fot her forlorn condition. In reply to the questions of Mr. HARDWICK, she said, that she was then but 14 years of age, and her name was Anne Williams. Her father, who was a tailor, died about three years since, and on his death her mother went to reside in the Dog-row, Mile-end, and supported both of them by the uncertain wages of a life of prostitution. About a itonth since she ceased contributing to her wants, and having told her that she had then arrived at 'a sufficient age to go upon the town, and procure het' own support, she forcibly turned her out of doors. From that time up to the present she (the applicant) solely subsisted on the few pence that she had obtained from charity. Mr. HARDWICK—Where have you last slept ? Girl—ln the street, Sir. Mr. HARDWICK—I mean in what house ? The Girl—l don't know, Sir, it's so long since I have slept in a bed. For the last week I have lain in the street every night until the last, and I should have done so then also, had I not been taken to the watch-house. Mr. HARDWICK—Good God ! is it possible you could have slept for entire nights in the streets in such severe weather as this. I could scarcely have supposed that so deep a degree of human misery existed. Are you aware of having obtained a settle ment in any parish ? The Girl—Yes, Sir, in St. Andrew's, Holborn. My father lived and I was born there, Out the parish ()Ulcers on my applying to them on Tuesday week, refused to receive me un less I was regularly passed. Mr. HARDWICK gave directions that the unfor tunate girl should be removed to Whitechapel work house, and there taken care of until her inhuman pa rent was discovered, or she was regularly passed to her legal settlement. EDWARD BOURCIIIER HARTOPP, Esq. of Leicestershire, the nephew of Sir B. PALK WRAY, of Tawstock Court, Devonshire, and heir to the estates of the late Lord CARBF.RY, has given the Member for Clare a plot of ground in the neighbourhood of Derrynane Abbey as a site for a new chapel, and he has also given 2001. as a donation towards the building of the sacred edi fice. Upon the authority of D. M'CARTItr, Esq. of Kil fadamt re, we are enabled to state this liberal conduct on the part of an English Protestant gentleman.— Tralee Mercury. LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY.—Yesterday the de mand for Cotton revived, and 4,000 bags were disposed of to the Manchester dealers, at an advance of id. per lb. on the previous prices. To-day the sales reach 2,500 bags, at the prices of yesterday, thus recovering the decline which they sustained at the close of the past week. This revival in the demand has arisen from an opinion which has begun to prevail, that the supply of cotton from abroad will not keep pace with the increased quantity required for home-consumption and exportation. There appears, how ever, no good grounds for apprehending a scarcity of the staple ; and prices will, it is more than probable, decline as soon a change of wind shall cause arrivals from the westward, when the supply will, no doubt, be ample, and astonish the alarmists on the subject of a scarcity. GZNERAL JACKSON.—(From the Record) —At a very early age he was taken prisoner in the Revo lutionary War. His brother had died in the field by his side ; and the enthusiasm which he naturally felt in the ardour of youthful patriotism, was exasperated into per sonal enmity by the unworthy treatment he experienced as a captive. The future President was ordered to clean the boots of the officer under whose charge be was placed ; and having indignantly, and perhaps scornfully, refined to stoop to this degradation, the officer was provoked to draw his sword, and, unable to intimidate the young hero by his threats, actually inflicted on him a wound, the marks of which he carries to the present day. It was not, therefore, unnatural that General JACKSON should entertain feelings of hostility to a nation whom he had been early taught to regard as the oppressors of his country, and at whose hands he had himself received per sonal wrong. A short time since a Jew, desirous of coming to Brighton as cheaply as possible, laid wait for one of the coaches at the Elephant and Castle, when, seeing the coachman, the following dialogue ensued :—Jew: Coach man, you have von spare seat in the inside of de coach.— Coachman : Yes, Sir.--Jew : You have no passenger for dat seat, and me vill give you fourteen shillings for dat seat.—Coachman : No, Sir, my fare's a guinea; can't take less, Sir.—Jew : Oh, vere well ; den me give you sixteen shillings.—Coachman: No, Sir, can't take less than my fare.—Jew : Oh yes, come now ; you better take eighteen shillings than carry de empty seat.—Coachman : No, I shan't take less than my fare.—Jew : Well now, you will wait five minutes, and if nobody come, you will take my eighteen shillings ?—Coachman : No, Sir, I shall start di rectly ; the time's up ; all right behind then : Oh stop, stop ; I viii go vid you; only allow me five per shent on my monish ; take a sovereign instead of a guinea.— Coachman No, Sir ; shan't take no less than my fare.— The Jew (tumbling into the coach): Oh, my gosh, vat a hard hearted man you are.—Brighton Gazette. STORM AT BRIDLINGTON.—BRIDLING TON...QUA T, MOND .Y Moaxtxa.—We have experienced a 'accession of bad weather here for several days past, but since Saturday it has blown a tremendous gale from tke northward; about 150 sail of vessels are riding in the bay. A revenue cutter parted from one anchor yesterday; some other vessels have also parted and gone to sea. A large steam-ship came. in from the northward yesterday, and brought up—particulars unknown : the sea was so high our boatmen durst not venture a communication. The lightning yesterday was very vivid, the peals of thunder extremely loud, and much snow fell during the squall. The tide was higher than was known for many years : consider able damage has arisen from these combined causes. The greater part of the stone steps leading to the pier are en t►rely removed; the stone jetty adjoining is left in a tot tering state, and the wooden jetty to the north, adjoining it is most materially injured. The wooden fortification in front of the fort-house is quite gutted, but the stone work at the foot of the Esplanade, and the new piling to the south, remain firm.—Hull Packet. AN EXTRAORDINARY GENIUS.—The fol lowing is a verbatim copy of a letter that was received a day or two ago by Mr. JAMES STRICKLAND, the Manager of the Deptford Theatre. It is an application made by a young gentleman for an engagement in the first line of tragedy : " London Monday evening january 4, 1830.

" to the manager cd the deptford theatre Kuit.", PARIS, JAN. 12.—Two plans had been discussed to subdue Algiers. The ene was to land 25,000, men, with the necessary materiel; the other, to per suade the Viceroy of Egypt to place at our disposal a body of troops sufficient to besiege Algiers. In this case we should furnish the necessary materiel, but we should avoid risking the health of our soldiers in a climate to which they are not accustomed. It is said that the last plan has been preferred, and that it was the sole object of the mission of M. lludder at Alexandria. That officer has just landed at Toulon. After having received the instructions of the Government, he will return to General Guille minot at Constantinople, going by way of Alexan drie, where he will hare another conference with the Viceroy. (From the Gazette de France of Wednesday, Jan. 13.) PARIS, JAN. 12.—His Excellency the Ambassador of France at Madrid has given notice to the authori ties at Bayonne, of the speed; arrisal of the King and Queen of Naples in France. Their Majesties will quit the capital of Spain on the Ist of February. They will travel incognito. The Aviso of Toulon says—" 'We learn by letters very lately received from the Morea, that prepara tions are making to embark at Nayarit' the troops which are there, to take them to Athens."* We are assured that the number of persons who have signed the lists of association for the refusal of taxes does not amount to more than 1,200. This accounts for the refusal of the Liberal Journals to publish the lists, and the prudent silence which they now observe on this subject.

ODESSA, DEC. 19.—0 n the 15th a notice was published by the Magistrates, announcing, as the plague had not again manifested itself for 30 days, a relaxation of the quarantine regulations. Accounts from Bessarabia say that the first Rus sian troops returning from Adrianople had already passed the Danube, and were going into winter quarters. FRONTIERS OF SERVIA, DEG. 26.—The firmans for the incorporation of the six districts have at length arrived from Constantinople, and Commissioners will be immediately appointed to carry them into effect. No news of importance has been received from that capital by the last Turkish mail. We only learn that the negotiations of Count Orloff were carried on with great activity, and that though the Porte, as usual, saw difficulties every where, and was very reserved, no doubt of the suc cess of Count Orloff's mission was entertained ; and it was hoped he would attain his object before the arrival of M. de Ribeaupierre. Great expecta tion has been raised by the reported visit of that Ambassador to Napoli, and it is generally affirmed that he was entrusted with an important mission from his Court to Count Capo Much anxiety was felt in particular in the hotel of the English Legation, . aad in general Sir R. Gordon took great pains to mal•,e himself acquainted with the proposals of Count Orloff, anti.to - -be informed of his transactions with the principal officers of the Porte. That the English Cabinet must be now very desirous to exercise its influence in the affaits of the East, and especially to protect the commercial intsrest of its nation, is natural; but that the situa tion of the English Ambas actor to the Porte has now become very diflicnit will be denied by nobody who considers the advantages gained by Russia, its political preponderance among all the eastern na tions, and the several views of the great European Powers. Commercial letters say that the Russian fleet will winter at Poros, and go to the Baltic in the spring.

BRUSSELS, JAN. 11.—A British Cabinet Messen ger passed through this city last night with des patches from St. Petersburgh for London. The Austrian Observer of the 4th contains an extract of a letter, dated Smyrna, Dec. 3, which says, "The last news from Egina to the 29th November do not mention the arrival of M. de Ribeaupierre at Na poli. A letter from Syra, of the 16th November, says, one of M. de Ribeaupierre's secretaries had arrived at Napoli, which probably caused the mistake." On the 22d of November Mr. Pelham, son of Lord Chichester, delivered to Admiral Malcolm despatches from London, announcing that, excepting the Pelo;ns, which is to return to England, there will be no change in the nature or stations of the English ships in the Archipelago and the Mediter ranean. On the 22d and 23d Admiral Malcolm re ceived two couriers from Corfu. On the 26th the English and French Admirals were at Egina, the Russian Admiral at Poros, and the President at Napoli. The Russian fleet is still at Poros. Admiral Heyden will remain in the Mediterranean with two ships of the line, a frigate, and some smaller vessels, and the remainder of the fleet will go after Christ mas to Malta, and thence to the Baltic. The French fleet is at Smyrna, Egina, and Navarin; the English fleet between Egina and Vourla. Tranquillity is nearly restored in Asia Minor : the rebels have been driven from the environs of Magnesia. The French Consul at Smyrna has been autho rized by the Ambassador of France to take under his protection the Greek vessels which shall appear in that port provided with papers from their Go vernment. This protection is intended for the se curity of persons, property, and the ships, and to hinder the Turks from demanding the charadsch. The Ambassador's letter affirms that he has made arrangements to this effect with the Porte. The Greek vessels are not to hoist their flag ; Greek merchantmen are again to be seen under Russian colours, as customary before the insurrection. The accounts from Egypt are to the 20th Nov. On the 16th the Sultan's squadron of ten sail left Alexandria, under Egyptian convoy, for Constanti nople, and must now be in the Dardanelles, having been seen yesterday near Ipsara. It has on board 300,000 Spanish piastres for the Sultan. CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 27.—The Courrier de Smyrne makes the following observations on the Rayas in the Turkish Empire:— " Under the present circumstances, the situation of the Rayas must claim the anxious attention of the Ottoman Government. In *a moral point of view this matter requires no elucidation, and the Porte will, without any remarks of ours, know the duties which humanity and good will towards faith ful subjects require of it. We shall, therefore, con sider the subject only in a political light. The Rayas are the really industrious class in the Turkish empire. In the interior of the extensive provinces, it is true, a portion of the Turkish population takes part in the numerous and yet unknown branches of industry which are carried on there; but this popu lation remains nearly station a ry at home, and is too i modest n its pretension to seek at a distance Com-, mercial success, which is but ill adapted to its peaceful inclinations. The Rayas ere, therefore, the middle men between those stationary pro_ lucers and the remoter consumers; they are, as it were, the channels which convey the produce of manufacturers and agriculture to the places where they find a market. The trade of the country is in their hands, and whenever security and protection have been denied, their trade has been very seriously. injured. The interests of the Mussulmen is there fore most intimately connected with that of the Rayas. The internal wealth and prosperity of this country on which alone the wealth of .the Govern ment can be founded, demands therefore that the Government should act with kindness and protection to the Rayas, and secure their lives, property, and civil rights, against violence and rapacity. This sub ject is equally important in relation to the intercourse with foreign countries. Independent Greece will be in the minds of all the Greeks, being a distance from it, a plan which their imagination will always adorn with the pictures of the happiness that is denied them elsewhere, as it offers to all the discontented an asylum to which their hopes carry them. It is true indeed that they will not find in Greece what they stek, and misery will soon make them feel the melan choly consequence ofemigration, but this would not be the less numerous to the Porte, which would thereby gradually lose a part of its most useful sub jects. The best means to reduce to their true value the deceitful hopes which the Greek State will excite in those Greeks that live in Turkey, will be to grant them guarantees which shall secure their property and safety. The Rayas of other religious sects must be no more excluded than the Greeks from the favourable measure: of the Porte. The Ottoman Government will not hinder the Maho metan religion from being considered, in spite of facts, as an enemy to other religions, and the Koran as a standing manifesto against persons of dif ferent faith, till men of sense at length agree to convince Europe that this notion is un founded. The Porte will the sooner bring abOur this return to truth, if it duly weighs the rights of its subjects, and thereby prevent for the future an armed interference of foreign countries, and all its injurious consequences. The first step is the recal of the Catholic Armenians. In all well-governkl countries a great political crisis is usually followed by a general amnesty. The prince who proclaims such a one acquires new claims to the love and fidelity of his subjects, by healing by a single wise action the wounds of the country which he go- verns." LEAP-FROG IN HIGH LIFE. NAPOLEON AND ISABEY, THE PAINfEII, (From the MS. Journal of a distinguished Foreigner.) " I called one morning on Isabey, to see his fine collection of portraits, which have now in a great measure, become historical. I found him at his atelier, working upon that splendid pic ture which is destined to connect the name of the artist with the most of the distinguished characters of his day. In a moment I found myself surrounded by the almost living like nesses of all the celebrated men and beautiful women, at that time assembled in Vienna. I saw the portrait of young Napoleon, which Isabey was just finishing, when I first met him at Schcenbrunn ; also a likeness of the Prince de Ligne, animated by all the fine expression of the original, and a full-length of Napoleon him self, walking in the gardens of Malinaison. Then he really had the habit of walking with his arms crossed in this manner ?' said I. Unquestionably,' replied Isabey ; and that, together with his other remarkable habit of stooping his head, at one time well nigh proved very fatal to me. During the Con sulate, I had been dining one day with some of Bonaparte's young aids-de-camp at Malmaison, After dining we went out on the lawn fronting the Chateau, to play at leap-frog ; you know that was a favourite college game of ours. I had leaped over the heads of several of my com panions, when a little further on, beneath an avenue of trees, I saw another apparently waiting for me in the requisite position. Thinking I had not yet completed my task, I ran forward, but unfortunately missed my mark, springing only to the height of his neck, I knocked him down, and we both rolled along the ground to the dis tance of at least ten yards. What was my horror on discovering that the victim of my unlucky blunder was no other than Bonaparte himself ! At that period he had not ever dreamed of the possibility of a fall ; and this first lesson was naturally calculated to rouse his indignation in the utmost degree. Foaming with rage, he rose and drew his sword, and had I not proved my self a better runner than a leaper, I hare no doubt but lie would soon have made an end of me. He pursued me as far as the ditch, which I speedily cleared, and, fortunately for me, he did not think fit to follow my example. I proceeded straight to Paris, and so great was my alarm, that I scarcely ventured to look be hind me till I reached the gates of the Tuile ries. I immediately ascended to Madame Bo naparte's apartment, for the persons of the house hold were accustomed to admit me at all times. On seeing my agitation, Josephine at first con cluded that I was the bearer of some fatal news. I related my adventure, which, in spite of my distress, appeared so irresistibly comic, that she burst into a fit of laughter. When her merri ment had subsided, she promised, with her na tural kindness of heart, to interfere with her Consul in my behalf. But knowing her hus band's irascible temper, she advised me to keep out of the way until she should have an oppor tunity of appeasing him, which to her was no very difficult task, for at that time Napoleon loved her tenderly. Indeed her angelic disposi tion always gave her a powerful ascendancy over him, and she was frequently the means of avert ing those acts of violence to which his ungo vernable temper would otherwise have driven him. On my return home, I found lying on my table an order not to appear again at the Tuile ries ; and it was during my temporary retire ment, that I finished the portrait you were just now looking at. Madame Bonaparte, on pre senting it to the Consul, obtained my pardon and my recall to Court. The first time Bona parte saw me after this affair, was in Josephine's apartments, and stepping up to me good naturedly, he patted me on the cheek, saying, Really, Sir, if people will play tricks they ought at least to do them cleverly.' Mon Dieu !' said Josephine, laughing, if you had seen his lock of terror, when he first presented himself to me, you would have thought him suffi ciently punished for his intended feat of agility.' " Isabey relates this anecdote with all his pe culiar animation and drollery ; and he accom pained the story with such expressive gestures and attitudes, that he seemed to bring the whole scene visibly before me. I could imagine I saw Napoleon prostrate on the ground, and then rising to vent his rage, like angry Jupiter hurl ing his thunderbolts. Mr. OLIVER CLAYTON, who was killed last Friday in a duel at Battersea with Mr. LAMERECHT, was the Editor a the Court Guide advertised in our paper a week or two back. He is also the gentleman who bz ought an action a year or two ago against a lady residing here, for a breach of promise of marriage, which was, however, naiad without being carried into Court.—Brighton Qaz. ..0 ---• s of A' rris► orrif !, jo 30 0, .; of ad; : r 01 ,sfi) ;',14" . 1' a, d rego • 11
