It took much less time than might
be conceived to clear the gallery, by
two stair cases only, of that multitude
of spectators. The order established
below, and the judicious regulations
observed on the arrival of the carriages,
facilitated their departure. This part
of the fete was nowise inferior to the
rest in beauty and attraction.
It is also impossible, except for those
who saw them, to form an adequate
I, conception of the richness and elegance
<rf the illuminations.—Never Was so
I; magnificent a spectacle exhibited to the
public. The palace and garden of the
Thuilieries, the triumphant arch erect
ed at Pont Tournant, Place de la Con
corde, the palace of the Legislative
Body, Le Garde Meuble, and the
Temple of Glory, formed an enchant
ing tout ensemble, which it is extreme
ly difficult to describe, because there is
nothing with which to compare it.
j' In the chapel of the Louvre, where
the ceremony was performed, an es
trade, surmounted by a canopy, was
erected in front of the altar.—At a
distance of thirty feet from the altar
were placed two chairs of state, witha
A
Latest from Europe.
I^iy 4 —We have received the
London Papers of Monday. There is
not, with the exception as the proro
gation of the French Legislative Body,
any intelligence of moment in those
papers. It is worthy observation, that
although there is a solitary collateral
fling against the " eternal enemies of
the Continent," the speech of the Sen
ator Regnault, does not contain the
customary attack upon the people and
government of England. This may be
considered by many sanguine persons
as indictive of the return of a pacific
disposition on, the part of Napoleon.
The speech expatiates with great and
pardonable complacency on the nup
tials of the Emperor and the Archdu
chess of Austria. There is no doubt
that this marriage was one of the first
strokes of policy Napoleon ever exhib
ited. It secures, as his orators say,
the peace of the continent; and when
the peninsula shall have been subdued,
it will leave him at liberty to prosecute
a maritime war, or to turn the arms of
the French People, as well as of his
confederate legionaries, to the Ottoman
Empire. The latter is mentioned
slightly; but it may be for the pur
pose of concealing his designs. In
deed we think that a Turkish war is by
no means so remote as may be general
ly imagined.
The last accounts from Lisbon, and
Spain describe the French as suffering
under great want of provisions. One
of these Letters says, " the French are
retreating from the Portuguese fron
tier in want of every thing." The
same want is felt in Spain, and the next
accounts will probably bring us intel
ligence of their having quitted the vi
cinity of Cadiz.
The Duke of Belluno (Victor) is
stated to have died at Seville, on the
4th April, in consequence of a wound
inflicted by a cannon shot, while re
connoitering the Spanish works before
Cadiz.
The civil marriage of their Imperial
and Royal Majesties was celebrated on
Sunday, at the palace of St. Cloud, at
2 o'clock, conformably to the prog
ramme. In the evening every part of
the park was filled with an immense
concourse of spectators, that flocked
from Paris and the neighbouring com
munes, to enjoy the magnificent and
entirely new spectacle presented by the
illuminating of that beautiful garden.
The illusion was singularly augmented
by the playing of the water, which
rising above the illuminations, doubled
their effect by reflection.
On the arrival of the Emperor and
Empress at the avenue of Neurilly, the
drums began to beat, the bauds of
music struck up, the cannon fired, &c.
Their Majesties stopped about ten
minutes under the triumphal arch at
L'Etoile, where they were compliment
ed by the magistrates of Paris.
The Emperor and Empress reached
the Thuilleries at two o'clock amidst
t^e same acclamations.
Their Majesties returned to the
Thuilleries before four o'clock.
A report of a tremendous battle be
tween the Russians and Turks, was
received at Rotterdam, on the 28th
April, in which, after fighting two
days, the Russian^ gave way, having
sustained great loss in killed & wound
ed and artillery.
The following is an extract of a let
ter from Paris received yesterday :—
" Paris, April 17 —Since the last I
wrote you, nothing at all new has
transpired relative to any part of the
confiscated American property, and I
can only repeat that it is vain to hope."
The Paris Journals of April 3, give
the particulars of the recent marriage
of the Emperor, in the following man
ner :—
Imperial Marriage.
praying desk for their Imperial Majes
ties. In two chandeliers close to the
altar were put two large wax candles,
each of them encrusting twenty pieces
of gold. A bason, containing thirty
pieces of gold and the marriage ring,
was laid on the altar. At the bottom
of the steps were two cushions for their
Imperial Majesties, and at the top
three chairs for the officiating Grand
Almoner and his two assistant Bishops.
The Cardinal Grand Almoner .of
France, his assistant, the Grand Al
moner of Italy, and the body of Cler
gy, received the Imperial l'air at the
door of the chapel, and presented them
with the censer and holy water.—
Their Majesties and the whole of the
procession having taken their places,
the officiating Grand Almoner ordered
the Feni Creator to be chaunted, all
present being on their knees. At the
conclusion of the first verse, the Grand
Almoner proceeded to the highest step
of the sanctuary, and standing with
his back to the altar, pronounced a
benediction on the thirty pieces of
gold & the ring. This part of the cer.
emony being completed, the Grand
Master of the Ceremonies made a bow
to the Emperor and Empress, who
taking off their gloves, advanced to
the foot of the altar, and there taking
each other by the right hand, were
thus addressed by the Grand Almoner :
" Sire, you declare, that you acknow
ledge, and you swear before God, and
in the face of his Holy Church, that
you now take as your wife and law
ful spouse, her imperial and Royal
Highness Madame Maria Louisa, Arch,
duches, of Austria, here present." —
The Emperor answered, " Yes Sir."
The Minister continued, '' You prom
ise and swear to be faithful to her in
all things, as a faithful spouse ought
to be towards his spouse, according to
the commandment of God." The
Emperor answered. Yes Sir."
Nearly the same form was gone
through with respect to the Empress.
The Emperor then put the ring
on the ring finger of the Empress's
left hand, saying, '' I give you
this ring in token of the marriage
Which we contract: and the Minister
making the sign of the cross upon the
hand of the. Empress, pronounced
them " Man and Wife together, in the
name of the Father, and of the Son,
and of the Holy Ghost.^ The parties
then kneeling and continuing to hold
each other by the right hand, the Min
ister gave them nuptial benediction.
Treaty between France, & Holland.
The degrading treaty, lately agreed
on between the Dutch and French
governments, is now published. By
this instrument, the independence of
Holland has been bartered away, her
trade wholly annihilated, her military
and naval recources wholly surrender
ed to France, and every commercial
movement subjected to the inquisition
and controul of French custom-house
officers, reinforced by French troops,
whom.they are compelled to support.
The two following articles are suffi
cient to justify our remark.
" Art. 1. Until the English Gov
ernment shall have solemnly abrogat
ed the restrictions contained in its Or
ders in Council of 1807, all commerce
whatsoever is prohibited between the
ports of England and the ports of Hol
land. Should there be reasons for grant
ing licences, those only shall be valid
which are delivered in the name of the
Emperor.
" Art. 10. All the merchandize
imported by American vessels that
have arrived in the ports of Holland
since the Ist Feb. 1809, shall be put
-under sequestration and made over to
France, in order to. her disposing
thereof according to the circumstances,
and the state of her political relations
with the United States."
The article which sequesters all the
American property which has arrived
in Holland for the last fifteen months,
and makes it over to France will be
particularly noticed for its barefaced
iniquity, and its important probable
results. With this in hand, Bonaparte
holds the rod over the determinations
of the American Executive, and the
alternative he offers is=-accede to my
system, or I will confiscate the prop
erty of your merchants. America
must be base indeed to submit to this
act of barbarian despotism ; and she
will be bold as base henceforward to
put the aggression of Great Britian
into an even scale with those of France.
The French party in the United States
are not easily silenced; but on what
ground they will now justify their
Gallic predilections without openly
proclaiming themselves traitors to their
country we cannot discover. At least
this act we think will go very far to
wards forwarding those pacific ar
rangements, which We hope are io the
train of being finally concluded be
tween Great Britain and America,
whose friendship seems to be daily
growing of more importance to each,
and to the yet unslaved part of the
world' Lip. Paper.

CHARLESTONS (§. C.) May 4, 1810.
Yesterday morning, Capt. Ack
worth, of the sch; Dolphin, from Key
Sale was hailed off Caper's island, by
the French privateer La -Revanchee
du Cerf (a picaroon which in defiance
of the laws of the U. States, had been
permitted to enter Charlestown har
bour, and there refit and equip, with
out any opposition) and while in the
act of heaving to, had a volley of mus
quetry discharged at him from the pri
vateer, by which Mr. Follin, a pas
senger on board the Dolphin, was bad
ly wounded. City (Demo.) Gazette.
(^ To this tame description of this
outrage the National Intelligencer adds
the following dastardly comment:—
" It appears that the privateer
which has committed this outrage with
in our jurisdiction (if the transaction
be correctly represented) put into the
harbour of Charleston in distress
some weeks ago, and their refitted.—
She dropped down frpm the harbour
the 29th ult. and has thus repaid the
indulgence which permitted her to
make the necessary repair." And this
is all that is said of this shedding of
blood in the waters of the U. S. be
cause the violator of our jurisdiction
was a Frenchman ! !!
William C. C. Claiborne is
Governour of the Territory of Or
leans. At the memorable Presiden
tial balloting in the House of Repre
sentatives between Jefferson and
Burr, he teas the only member from
the State of Tennesse. He of course
held the vote of that State, and voted
for Jefferson. Soon after, William
C. C. Claiborne was appointed gover
nour of the Missisippi Territory.—
When our Louisiana Farm was ceded
to us, he was made governour of that
Territory, and there begun bis career
as a joint Commissioner with Wilkin
son, for taking possession of Louisia
na, and with Wilkinson, also, he shared
in the chrimpaigne, segars, and sweet
meats, and other items of the Commis
sioner's table, from December 7th,
1803, to April 24th, 1804, amounting
to the sum of 6619 dollars and 72
cents. We are happy to see that this
crooked policy, of lavishing the peo
ple's money on a Presidential elector
and favourite, underthe name of con
tingencies, has been, at length, since
Mr. Jefferson zoenf out of office, thus
far corrected; and hope the people
will no longer be gulled with hypo
critical pretences about specific appro
priations. Con. Mirror.

We still remain without information
of the arrival from France of this long
looked for despatch vessel. We can
not account for her delay, unless on
the suspicion that the '' great," the
" supereminent" Napoleon has laid
his itching palm on her too. It is very
true, " his equal" for jobbery " is not
found in the annals of Man. Other
monarchs have pilfered" but — as a
robber —" he is supereminent." —lte
is indeed "a prodigy of human nature"

respectability in the city of New-York-
The publishers design to' enrich
these volumes with elegant PORTRAITS
of the three distinguished statesmen:

they trust the execution of the work,
as well as its embelishments, will not
dishonour the subject.
Two editions will be printed; one

A MINERAL SPRING has late
ly been opened for the benefit of
the Public, at Newbury, Vermont;
situated on Connecticut river, opposite
Haverhill, in New-Hampshire.
" THE Mineral Water Contains,
what has been called, hepatic gas-~
but, more properly, sulphurated hyd
rogen gas, combined with it to the
point of saturation—and some iron,
and is somewhat similar to the celebra
ted Ilarrowgate Water, in York^
shire, in England —but, probably^
more exactly like the sulphurous
waters of Ballycastle, and Castlemain,
in Ireland."
" The sulphurous water, especially'
when it contains iron, is a powerful
remedy for several obstinate diseases
its good effects in Rheumatism,—
Schrophula, and affections of the skin,
have long been acknowledged ; it is
likewise, on good authority recom
mended as an efficacious medicine for
those who have been injured by the
improper, and too long continued use
of mercurial medicines, or other mineral
poisons ; such as arsenick, lead, &c,
“ The iron if contains renders it {I
corroborant, arid highly useful in dis-|
cases of the viscera of the abdomen,
particularly iri cases of chronic weak
ness of the stomach." /t
" As the spring is situated io. a place,/
which for the salubrity of air, and
water, and for beauty of rural scenery
is surpassed by none in New-England,
if in the world, we ar? confident that
it will deservedly attract the public
attention, and that many invalids will
experience the good, effects of the
water."*
