illusion ha* vanished. The genuine pa
triots of America have fallen Into disgrace,
their distinguished service* have been for*
gotten ; their successor* have been raised
to power, and instated with Mice, with
hardly any qualification, except a blind
devotion to Franck. Dishonour has suc

the fit and worthy representative of a sup-/

We need not therefore be surprised at any
indignities that are or can be offered us ;
nor will the recent barefaced conduct of
Napoleon, excite more than a momentary
and ineffectual resentment. He Arnows our
rulers, and detpitet them; else we could
hardly imagine him to have told their
Minister, when entreating for justice to
hi* country: "We are busied in making
" preparation* for our imperial marriage ;

such outrage and contempt must kindle it
into a consuming flame.
Extract qfa letter from an .American
gentleman in ‘Paris, to hit friend in
.Yew- York, dated April 4.
“ I send you a file of newspaper* which
are principally filled with descriptions re
lative to the marriage of the Emperour.—
Through General Armstrong I obtained a
ticket of admission for the day to the gal
lery of painting*. This building is near
fourteen hundred feet long and thirty broad.
The ceiling is a ched, of great height and
magnificence ; the wall* on each side are
lined with upwards of three thousand su
perb paintings. This gallery connects the
Palace of the Thuilleries with that of the
Louvre, along which the Emperour and
Empress passed on thia, occasion. It was
lined by about seven thousand people of
both srtces, all in elegant habiliment*.—
Such an assemblage of beauty, riches and
elegance, has perhaps never been witness
ed. I had an opportunity of narrowly
viewing their Majestys and the grand dig
nitaries in their train. You have so often
read descriptions of Napoleon that it would
be folly in me to attempt to give you pne—
suffice it to say, that after having once
seen him, it is impossible to forget him.
The Empress is a lady above the common
height, good figure, blue eyes and of digni
fied deportment. Upon the whole would
be called in the United States a fine come
ly woman.
I had like to have forgotten to give you
a description of the dress of the Empress.
On her head was placed a crown of dia
monds, brilliant beyond expression, her
gown was purple satin, with a double
train, edged also with diamond* very rich.
It is supposed the cost of this dress was from
four to Jive hundred thousand dollare.**

much French now as they were then. We
can remember that it required ail the firm

his country from being overwhelmed with
French caaabalism : And that to his steady
patriotism alone was it owing that the con

Margaret, Captain William
Fairfifla, belonging to Mr. John Crownin
sbield, of this port, was one of the many
American vessels which have been long
detained by the French at Naples. Having
been taken and carried in by a privateer,
the Captain had made a compromise with
the captors to pay them about one half the
amount of the property to give up their
claims. This bargain being ratified at
• Paris, the ship was loaded with a valuable
cargo of brandy, silks, 6cc. and set sail on
the 10th of April, with every prospect of a
rich remuneration to her owner. .The

in our office yesterday, sealed with a three
cornered wafer—the infallible indication of
its venerable authour, Bradford—
whereof the purport was, that we would
announce, through the medium of our pa
per, to a gentleman who travelled south
ward lately, (he believes te Philadelphia,)
the extreme agony of his mind when he
heard of his departure, and his instant de
termination to saddle his beast and " rush
from his sphere”, to meet him. We feel
delighted to oblige nur venerable friend,
and thus publiokly to declare so. He de
sired us to intimate to the gentleman that
he puid for this card.
Such were the sentiments of the First of
Patriots and Federalists ten or twelve
year* since. The French conduct has
never varied from his portrait of it. But
the democratick party have continually
endeavoured to give” the lie to his asser.
tions, and have succeeded to convince
their blinded followers that we have had
no just cause of complaint against France ;
and the administration have abetted the
lie,'by concealing from the People the evi
dence they held of the continued truth of
Washington’s delineation of French ini
quity.—But the Cabinet lock* we hope are
now broken; and the letter* of General
Armstrong, now suffered to transpire, de
monstrate that the same system of plunder,
outrage and contempt ha* been continued
from 1798 to the present day. Cent.

P. M. the foretopmast studding sail haul
yard* parted, the studding sail fell over
board, filled with water, and carried away
the studding sail boom ; th<y then took in
lower studding sails, spanker and mlsen
topsail; by this time it became squally,
and they immediately clewed down fore
and main topsail, and let fly the sheets;
the wind shifted in an instant from E. S.
E. toS. W> nnd although the helm was
hard to weather, they could not get the
ship before the wind, but she was suddenly
thrown upon her beam ends. Every per
son on board being at this time on deck,
reached either the bottom or side of the
ship and held on. They tlten cut away the
weather lanyards of the shrouds, masts and
long boat, when the ship righted, being full
of water, her hatches off, chests, water
casks, &c. drifting among the wrecks. The
guns and every thingwudeck were hove
over to lighten her, but they were unable
to clear the wreck of the spars, ficc. which
lay beating against her to windward, the
starboard lanyards of the shrouds being
deep under water, and fast to the ship,
and the sea making a continual breach
over her. The long boat lay bottom up,
beating among the wreck of spars, Bcc. the
pinnace, beaten nearly to pieces, was in a
similar situation ; and the stern boat also
very much injured, and full of water, but
by great efforts they were enabled to make
use of her to secure the long boat, which
was badly stove, her wood-ends and gar
berd streak open, and large holes in her
bottom; they however repaired her in
such a manner a* to preserve her from
sinking, and kept her under the lee ot the
ship. It was now about 7, P. M. when the
boat being hauled nearer the ship for the
purpose of getting canvas* and oakum to
stop the leak, a* many men a* coold reach
her jumped in; finding la this way she
would soon be sunk, the boot was veered
to the distance of 15 or 30 fathoms to
leeward of tfis ship, there being then 12 on
board her. Shortly after one man jumped
from the ship and swam to the boat, and
was taken in* and it appearing that all on
board would follow bi* example, they
veered th* boat still farther from the ship,
to prevent ft. For the night they lay with
a rep* fast from the ship to the boat; the
p*opl* in the ship anxious to get into the
boat, attempted to haul her to them, till
those in the boat made them desivt by
threatening, however painful, to cut the
rope and leave them, their number being
then 13, besides 2 in the stern boat under
the lee the ship, who wf re obliged to
bale contiqpaliy to keep her from sinking,
and who, when taken on board, would aug
ment the number to mor* than they could
think it in any degree safe to go from the
ship with, in the then shattered condition
of the long boat. Thus passed the night.
Monday morning, the weather was mod
erate, and the people on the wreck were
on the taffarel rails, bowsprit and windlass,
every other part being under water. En
treaties to be taken into the boat were re
newed, but from a principle ol common
safety refused. One man jumped into the
sea, and got into the small boat, but was
obliged to return to the ship. This dis
tressing contest continued some
The people on the wreck informed those
in the boat, that they had secured’quad
rants, compasses, water, bread, flour, and
a plenty of provisions, but that they would
not spare them any unless they would come
along side the ship, where they appeared
prepared to jump immediately on board,
though repeatedly assured if they would
consent to remain, the tyiat should lie by
the ship as long as she kept together. At
length, however, they conceived them
selves, from the designs of those on the
wreck, to be under the necessity of cutting
the rope, and rowed off. They were now
about 400 miles from land. They had
neither compass or quadrant, but had se
cured a number of article* of subsistence
which bad drifted f.om the wreck, to
gether with a gallon keg of brandy which
had been thrown to them by those in the
ship. It was about meridian, the wind mo
derate from the southward and westward,
and they laid their course a* nearly east as
possible, for the Island of Corvo, or Flores,
and the last they saw of the ship about 6,
P. M. she remained as they left her. Con
tinuing their course, according to their
best judgement easwardly, on Saturday the
26th of May, at 1 o’clock, P. M. they were
rejoiced at the sight of a sail, which proved
to be the brig -Poacher, Captain Dunn,
from Alicantto Boston ; on board of which
they were all received, and most humanely
treated; they afterwards tell in with the
brig Mentor, Captain Richard Pedrick,
from Alicant and Gibraltar, on board of
which a part of them were taken, and re
ceived the same kind treatment, and on
Tuesday last arrived at Marblehead.—
The Preacher baa also arrived at Boston.
As to the ship, though left hi a distress
ing situation, yet, as it was not known but
she was still tight, and moderate weather
succeeded the disaster, and she was in the
track of many ships crossing the ocean,
good Judges think the chance «f the suffer
ers being saved io not small. May the
fondest hopes of their dearest friend*, be
fnUy realised I
to purchase a vessel for that purpose. Appli
cation was consequently made for tbe Her*
