RUSSIAN AFFAIRS.
RUSSIAN POLAND.
WARSAW, FEB. 24.
The Russian armies are cantoned near Dubno; where Generals Kutusow, Buxhoeffen, &c. have taken up their quarters.
LONDON, MARCH 13. We have just received the Russian official account of the battle of Auſterlitz, which gives the lie to the gasconading speech of BONAPARTE. From this account it appears that "no capitulation had been granted to that army," as stated in the speech. Savary, the person who was sent to the Emperor of Russia, was not even admitted to an interview. The whole loss of the Russians, by sickness, casualties, and battles, from the commencement to the end of the late campaign, was no more than seventeen thousand men. The engagement of the 2d of December was rather the effect of necessity than choice; the Allied Army was almost starving. The account contradicts also the French Bulletin in another material point. The latter stated the amount of the Russians, before the battle of Auſterlitz, at 80,000 men. The official account declares the number to have been only 52,000.
AMERICAN AFFAIRS.
LONDON, MARCH 15. Last night Mr. Prinsep brought before the House a most important fact, long overlooked, viz. That while this country is at the expence of conquering and defending India—nay, while the national finances may probably be burthened by the Company's debts, a part of the commerce of British India, exceeding that of the Company, is carried on by neutrals, either by treaty or connivance, while British capital and British subjects are excluded from the advantage of the trade, which it is notorious the Company cannot carry on. This question requires nothing more than attention on the part of the public, to make the proper impression.
Some interesting observations on the American commerce, connected with this subject, occurred in debate. It would be worth while to compare the value of what some would quarrel about, in regard to the commerce of neutrals, and what our folly gives away gratis.
The motion of Mr. Prinsep, which was a call for certain documents, drew forth considerable conversation; in the course of which Mr. Fox urged forcibly against the production of any neutral document upon this important question, lest it should lead men to form premature imperfect judgments. It would be improper to hold out an imperfect view of a question of this nature—such it appeared was the opinion of the Directors of the East-India Company; and he could not help thinking, that that house, and the country at large, were fully willing to give to the judgment of that Board, all the confidence to which it was entitled; but independent of their opinion, the hon. mover himself, had not stated any ground of necessity for the production of the document he called for; or that he meant to take any proceeding upon it. He had indeed stated the contrary. There was another point connected with this motion, which the hon. mover had perhaps in contemplation, when he brought it forward—he meant the carrying trade of America. That this subject was now under consideration elsewhere, was tolerably notorious. It was not, he believed, unknown to any one, who heard him, that a representation respecting it had been made to his Majesty's government, on the part of the United States. This representation was under discussion, and every necessary information would be sought for. But not, however, from any papers to be laid on the table of the house—not from any document of the nature of that moved for by the hon. gentleman; but by application to all those who were most intimately acquainted with the subject at issue. Ministers would seek for knowledge to aid their judgment through the proper channels.—Mr. Prinsep, after a few words of explanation, withdrew his motion.
The circumstance of two American vessels, laden with Colonial produce, which had been detained at Plymouth, having been liberated during the last week, and allowed to sail for Bourdeaux and Rochefort, has given rise to a report, that all detained American vessels have been restored, and that the power asserted by America, of covering by her flag, the commerce of the enemy, had been conceded by our government. We have the pleasure of contradicting the rumour; and although we are uninformed of the determination of Ministers on the subject, we most do them the justice to believe, that they never will consent to a principle which, in its operation, would deprive this country of every advantage which results to her from her naval superiority. All kinds of Colonial produce are now sold in France as cheap as in a period of peace; nay, the Bourdeaux market was a month since glutted with sugars and coffee, poured in from Martinique, St. Domingo, &c. by American bottoms. It is in her commerce alone that France is vulnerable to us; if this is secured to her she may despise our hostility, and will be naturally inclined to perpetuate a war in which she has much to gain, without being obnoxious to loss; while we continue subject to great risk and immense expence, without any countervailing advantage.
CONTINENTAL AFFAIRS.
LONDON, MARCH 13. There now appears reason to think that affairs have been amicably arranged between France and Prussia; and all apprehension of a rupture between those powers has subsided. A convention has been concluded, of which it is thought, Lucchesini was the bearer, in which the difficult business of conciliating the interests of Prussia with the arrangements of Bonaparte in Germany, has
been effected. The convention concluded at Paris, is stated in letters from Berlin of the 11th, to have been ratified by the King of Prussia, and sent back to Paris.—Letters from Leipzig of the 20th, speak still more positively. Prussia cedes Anspach, (some say also Bareuth) to the King of Bavaria; Neuchâtel and Valengin, to France; in return she obtains Hanover as an indemnification. It is understood too that Prussia, in addition to her other cessions, gives up Cleves and Wesel to the Archduke Ferdinand, as his indemnification for the Brisgau. But still if Prussia gets all Hanover she is no loser by the new arrangements. We have no doubt that these statements are in substance well founded.
Prussia, since the battle of Auſterlitz, has had a very difficult part to play. She had given offence to Bonaparte—she was connected with Russia, and had not secured the confidence of Austria. Bonaparte's views in Germany, and the very conditions of the treaty of Presburgh, required the concurrence of Prussia, which at least seems to have been gained by a mixture of bribery and intimidation. The hostile attitude of the French armies in Germany on the one hand, and the temptation of Hanover on the other, have forced her. But still Prussia, after the connexion with Russia, must be committed in some degree with the Emperor Alexander, who must now see the affairs of Germany and of Europe, thus delivered over to Bonaparte, in defiance of his opposition and of his menaces. Prussia is pledged not to co-operate with Russia, and the latter in vain can attempt alone to resist the arrangements, to which Bonaparte has obtained such concurrence, and which he is ready to defend with his mighty force.
The French army in Germany remains nearly in the same situation as by the last accounts. From the Upper Palatine to Westphalia, are upwards of 100,000 men. The French have entered the territory of Nuremberg as well as Anspach. Marshal Ney's corps is still upon the Inn.
The Russian army is still assembling in Poland; but if it be true that Prussia and France are agreed, we see nothing that can be done, while Germany, in the mean time, is oppressed and ruined by the French troops, who are detained there by the menaces of Russia.
THE INVASION.
We have lately had occasion to mention the renewed activity of the enemy at Boulogne, and its neighbourhood. By letters which reached us yesterday by our squadron, off that coast, by the Diligence, arrived at Dover, we find, that during the last week several prams and loggers came out of the harbour, and formed a line, at their old anchorage, under protection of their batteries. It is added, that these vessels appear to be newly rigged, and generally repaired. Should such be the fact, it bespeaks a disposition, on the part of Bonaparte, to employ them on efficient service, because his rotten craft would answer equally as well to keep up the threat of invasion, or make any demonstration necessary to excite alarm here, without incurring the vast expence of their visit, or withdrawing from his other naval equipments, stores of which he is in want.
The number of troops at Boulogne is daily increasing, but from the circumstance of their being continually under arms, they are supposed to be Conscrips only. It is understood on board our squadron, on what authority we know not, that the army is to resume its position on the coast early in June, and that the long threatened and maniac project of invasion is to be attempted during that month.
Mr. Tierney is, we understand, to be the new Governor of the Cape of Good Hope.
CONQUEST OF NAPLES.
Paris papers to the 26th ult. are only so far interesting, as they detail the subjugation of the Neapolitan kingdom, and serve to develop the ulterior views of Bonaparte, with regard to that unhappy country. On the evening of Feb. 25th, during the performance of Racine's tragedy of Athalia, at the Theatre Francaise, which was honored by the presence of the Emperor, his Majesty received dispatches from Italy. At the conclusion of the act, one of the performers came forward by order of his Majesty, and announced to the audience, that the French army had entered Naples, and occupied all the forts of that city, as well as all the principal fortresses in the kingdom, and that the Neapolitan army were prisoners of war.
This communication was received with an enthusiasm impossible to describe. The presence of the Emperor, we are told, caused the thouts of applause to be incessant, so applicable to his Majesty's reign was a passage which had just before been repeated—"Et quel tems jamais plus fertile en miracles?"—What age was ever more fertile in miracles? The French army, says the Moniteur, had only to appear and begin the attack, when the whole country submitted to its new fate, which will cause it to pass under the domination of one of the branches of the Imperial family, who will succeed the dynasty of the Two Sicilies."
Prince Joseph Napoleon's dispatches to his Majesty, are from the head-quarters at Capua, and dated the 14th of February; they announce that his orders have been fulfilled. He states, that he divided his army into three bodies, and marched with the centre division, under the command of Marshal Massena, through San Germano and Capua, while the right, under General Regnier, went by Terracina and Gaeta; and the left, consisting of a corps of Italians, under Gen. Lecchi, proceeded by way of Iri.
Gen. Regnier, on arriving at Gaeta, sent to the Prince of Hesse, who commanded that place, the following Summon:
GENERAL—Before I begin the operations which will put me in possession of the place you command, I invite you to reflect on your situation, and the impossibility of preventing the surrender of Gaeta to my
army. You have but little means of defence, and no hope of assistance—in a few days I shall reduce you to extremities. You know that nothing can oppose the victorious armies of France, and that in a short time the kingdom will be conquered, and change its Masters. To-day I'll grant you a capitulation, with the honours of war. In the evening I will not accept it; but will no longer retard the consequences of my operations. I have the honor to salute you, &c.
ANSWER.
GENERAL—Having received repeated orders from the King, to defend this place to the last extremity, and having been furnished with all the means of so doing, I can only obey my instructions. I therefore inform you, that I cannot accept the capitulation, as I intend to fulfil the confidence which the King has placed in me. I have the honor to be, &c. THE PRINCE OF HESSIA.
In consequence of this answer Gen. Regnier ordered an attack to be made on the redoubt of St. Andre, mounted with six pieces of cannon, which was carried. Gen. Grignon had his head shot off with a cannon ball. He was a distinguished officer, and is much regretted by the army: He has left a son and a daughter, whom Prince Joseph has recommended to the Emperor, as worthy of a pension.
On the 12th February, the centre division invested Capua, which answered the summons by a discharge of its artillery. On the 13th, in the morning, a deputation from the city of Naples, waited on the Prince, and signed the surrender of Gaeta, Capua, Pescara, Naples, and the other forts.
General Partemene entered Naples on the 14th: the forts were immediately occupied, and on the 15th Prince Joseph set off for the city. The Neapolitan officers having requested permission to serve, Prince Joseph has formed some corps of Neapolitans, and has placed over them Neapolitan officers, who were in the pay of the kingdom of Italy. He has appointed M. Pignatelli to be Colonel of the first regiment of Neapolitan infantry.
Prince Joseph has been at Caserta. As soon as the people of Naples had recovered from their first terror, they (say the dispatches) expressed much attachment towards the French.
MARCH 21.
REPORT OF PACIFIC OVERTURES.
We are inclined to believe the dispatch received from France relates to a pacific overture. It is understood to have come from Talleyrand, addressed to Mr. Fox. Mr. F. was formerly friendly to the treaty of Amiens, and condemned the rupture of that treaty. Lord Grenville was a bitter opponent of that treaty. But it is said, by some, that although we might have insisted on a better treaty in 1801, we cannot expect a better in 1806—increased as France is in power.
On Wednesday morning, at eight o'clock, a French boat arrived at Dover Roads, bearing a flag of truce. She left Boulogne the preceding night, and had on board a Captain de Fregate, who was charged with dispatches for the British Government, which he had orders to put on board the first English cruiser he might fall in with. One of the Dover boats went off to her on her arrival, and carried the captain, with his dispatches, on board the Venus frigate, which was cruising near that place. The French Captain, after delivering his dispatches to captain Mason, returned to his boat, and made sail for the French coast, and the Venus went immediately to the Downs.
Immediately on the receipt of the dispatch, Mr. Fox repaired to the Queen's House, and communicated its contents to his Majesty; after which a Cabinet Council was held at the Foreign Office, the result of which, if we may credit report, was, that the prescribed basis of the proposed Negotiation was in a great measure deemed inadmissible; but that his Majesty would ever be ready to treat of peace on honourable and equitable terms, compatible with the dignity of his Crown, the interest of his People, and the security of his Empire.
In other circles it is asserted the dispatches are merely a reply on the part of the French to the answer by our Transport Board to the message lately received respecting the exchange of prisoners.
In addition to the above a respectable London paper, received this morning, contains the following letter from Ramsgate, dated nine o'clock on Wednesday night:
"A dispatch has this afternoon been received at Ramsgate, by Lord Keith, which was this morning put on board one of the cruisers off Boulogne; the packet contained two letters; one directed to the Right Hon. Charles J. Fox, and the other for Baron Jacobi, the Prussian envoy, and both were included in a letter addressed to Lord Keith, from the commandant at Boulogne, requesting his Lordship to forward the enclosure immediately, and adding, that the answer might be sent in a flag of truce. The letters in question were accordingly sent off express to town, this afternoon."
Difference with Algiers. —Mr. Cartwright, British Consul at Algiers, not being able to adjust certain disputes with the Dey, and the British officers and subjects receiving insults there, had demanded his passports, and left that place. He landed at Gibraltar on the 27th of Feb.
MARCH 22.
Earl Selkirk (who was in Bologne a few years since) is appointed Ambassador to the U. S. to settle the existing differences. The King of Prussia, it is said, is to take the title of Emperor of the North.
The American Minister in London is treated with marked attention; and there is no doubt a good understanding will be soon restored between Great-Britain and the U. States.
The Duke of Kent is to have the military command in Ireland.
The French have suddenly taken possession of Nuremberg.
The Austrian Ambassador at Petersburg has been ordered to declare, that the Treaty of Presburgh contains no secret article.
BRITISH PRIZE COURTS.
Privy Council Chamber, } March 11, 1806. }
Case of the William, John Treves, master.
Present, Earl Fitzwilliam, Lord President, Duke of Montrose, Lord Auchland, Master of the Rolls, Sir William Wynne, and Sir William Scott.
The Case decided in this Court was an appeal by an American Claimant, from a sentence of the Court of Vice-Admiralty of Halifax:—It was tried by a full Court, and the judgment unanimous, for condemning the property as lawful prize. It was briefly stated by Sir William Grant, master of the Rolls, "That the single question in this case, is, whether the voyage in which the property of the claimant was embarked at the time of the capture, was a lawful voyage. The cargo in question consisted of cocoa, which had been shipped at Laguire, a port in the Spanish province of Carracas, in South America, on account of the claimant, in the same ship in which it was now captured, and was brought to Marblehead, a port of the United States, where it was entered and landed, a bond having been given as usual for the duties; but it was a few days afterwards re-shipped in the same bottom, and dispatched on a voyage to Bilboa. Debentures were thereupon granted to the claimant for the amount of the duties, a small part excepted; and these debentures being, at a subsequent period, given up at the Custom-House, and the small balance of duties paid in cash, the bond given on the entry from Laguire was cancelled.
This, our readers will observe, is the ordinary course of proceeding in like cases; and which, it is contended, on the part of America, amounts to a fair importation into that country, so as to justify the subsequent transmission of the produce of a hostile colony to the mother country, or any other port in Europe, while the contrary is maintained by our Prize Courts.
The Master of the Rolls did not enter into those general principles of the Law of Nations, on which this country asserts a right to prevent neutrals from carrying on the colonial trade of our enemies in general; principles which have been so often discussed, and so often solemnly recognized by the Lords Commissioners. He only observed, that by the uniform sense of the Board, whatever branch of that trade was not allowed by his Majesty's war instructions, was unlawful; and that therefore the only question for their Lordships in this case was, whether the voyage in question was fairly within the licence of the Royal Instruction which applied to it.
Dr. Lawrence as Amicus Curiae , stated to their Lordships, that in the case of the Polly, Lasky, at the Admiralty, an affidavit had been produced, on the part of the claimant, stating the actual payment of the duties, and that the Court was at that period not at all aware that the duties were secured by bond in these cases, and discharged by debentures in the way that had since appeared. He also mentioned, that by the law of America, as now clearly understood, the importer actually derived a positive advantage by these transactions; or that though the duties are not paid, negotiable debentures are issued on the credit of the bond, and these the importer can put into circulation, until a period at some months' distance, which is allowed for the payment of the bond, or for its discharge by production of these debentures.
[Even on British grounds, however, Americans have a right to claim, for want of due notice. Since the principle has been assumed, probably no American vessel failed which were liable to condemnation under it.]
Bonaparte has announced his readiness to make peace with Great-Britain, on the basis of the treaty of Amiens. This declaration had not made a very deep impression in England. It occasioned a trifling rise of stocks: But Mr. Fox did not seem eager to embrace the offer—Mr. Fox, the Minister, appears quite an altered man from the Mr. Fox, when in the Minority.

Militia of the United States.
We have received from a friend at Washington, a "message from the President of the U. S. transmitting a statement of the militia of the U. S. according to the returns received from the several states and territories."

[To be concluded in our next.]

Jesse Pearce, master of the sloop Richard, a coating vessel of Brandywine, being duly sworn, deposes and says, that as he was approaching Sandy Hook, and was about a quarter of a mile from the Light-House in his said vessel, on Friday evening, about 5 o'clock, two shots were fired at different times from a large British ship of war, with two tier of guns, supposed to be the Leader—That one of said shot struck about forty yards ahead of the said vessel and the other went nearly over her; upon which the deponent rounded to his vessel, and about five minutes after, another shot was fired from the said ship and struck the rafter rail and the quarter rail, and killed immediately a man at the helm named John Pearce, brother of the deponent, and who was a hand on board his vessel—That the deponent cannot actually determine the distance of the sloop from the Leader, but he conjectures it to be above a mile. That the deponent then continued his course and entered the Hook without any farther molestation.
JESSE PEARCE.
Sworn 26th April, 1806, before De Witt Clinton.
Hezekiah Pratt, master of the brig Sally, of this port, deposes, That as he was approaching the said port from St. Thomas's, on Friday evening, and within 20 rods distant from the within mentioned sloop, he observed the facts stated in the within affidavit of Capt. Pearce, and that to the best of his knowledge and belief
they are true, except the killing of the man, of which he deponent has no personal knowledge. That there were at the time three ships of war in the offing, and that one mentioned in the within affidavit was a two-decker, and the largest. That all the said vessels of war fired at the deponent's vessel, at least twenty shots in the whole—but that he proceeded on without coming to. That a sloop of war fired at the deponent's vessel when he was about a quarter of a mile from the shore, and after the within mentioned death is said to have occurred. That about twenty sail of vessels were coming into port at the same time, and that upwards of a hundred shots were fired at the said vessels by the said ships of war.

Arrived, ship Re-Union, Prior, 50 days from London. On the 9th of March, in lat. 48, long. 18, the Re-Union was brought to by a privateer from Bordeaux, and the Capt. ordered on board. He immediately complied. Four of the privateer's men armed, then went on board the ship in Capt. Prior's boat, and there broke open his trunk, the mate's chest, and several of the passengers' trunks, all the letters, and several packages of merchandise. They robbed capt. Prior of two telescopes, one quadrant, one small package (which was put on board by a gentleman in London, for his wife in Boston, and contained a gold watch and several other articles of value,) a speaking trumpet, and most of the cabin stores; threatening to put to death the first man who offered to make resistance.

Several American vessels were said to be on shore at Heneaga, about 4 h. April.
A ship, in distress, has been carried into Winter harbor, (near Portland.)
POSTSCRIPT....by this day's Mail.
BOSTON, MAY 7.
MIRANDA.—We yesterday saw a letter from Barbados, dated April 14, giving information, received via Trinidad, that Geo. Miranda had effected a landing in the Spanish American province of Caraccas—that he had taken the island of Margarita, the town of Cumana, on the sea board of the province; the town of Barcelona, in the interior, on the river Naveni; and was in full march for the capital of the colony, situated about 50 miles from the coast. Mr. Fitzwilliam acts as his Secretary. The expedition failed last from Curacoa.
The above information is confirmed by capt. R. Borough, who arrived here on Tuesday from Martinico. It appears that the American ship Leader was joined by some English cruisers—and that Miranda has proclaimed the independence of the province. The intelligence was brought to Martinico by a Dan sh vessel.
We have intelligence from Washington, that CHARLES STEWART, ISAAC HULL, and ISAAC CHAUNCEY, Esq's. are promoted to the rank of Captains in the Navy of the United States.
Commodore RODGERS, having received permission to return home, the command of the Mediterranean squadron is given to Capt. JAMES BARRON, who is to go out in the Chesapeake.
Capt. STEWART is to have the command of the Chesapeake.
The U. S. brig WASP, pierced for sixteen 42 lb. carronades, and two long 18-pounders, was launched at Washington, 21st April.

APOLLO'S FOUNT.
THE OLD SOLDIER.
O PITY! if thy holy tear Immortal decks the wing of time 'Tis when the soldier's honor'd bier Demands the glitt'ring drop sublime; For who, from busy life remov'd, Such glorious, dang'rous toil has prov'd, As he, who on the embattled plain Lies nobly slain.  He, who forsakes his native shore To meet the whizzing ball of death; Who, mid the battle's fatal roar, Refuses his lingering, parting breath; Who when the deaf'ning din is done, So well deserves as valor's son, The proud, the lasting wreath of fame, To grace his name?  Hard is his fate, the sultry day To wander o'er the burning plain; All night to waste the hours away, Mid howling winds and beating rain. To talk, O vision! fadly sweet! With her eyes, will never meet, And find at morn's returning gleam, 'Twas but a dream!  To mark the haughty brow severe; To hear the imperious stern command; To heave the sigh, to drop the tear, While mem'ry paints his native land. To know, the laurel he has won, 'Twines round the brow of fortune's son, While he when strength and youth are flown, Shall die unknown.

COUNTERFEIT BILLS.
W ITHIN a few days, discovery has been made of counterfeit five dollar bills of Norwich Bank , of the late impression, viz. those with letters passing through the bill;—they are rather badly executed, particularly in the penmanship—the true ones bear date June 10, 1803; the counterfeit is dated March —, 1805.
Fifty dollar bills of the Exchange Bank , at Providence, are in circulation, counterfeited, being altered from smaller ones, and very well done; they bear, however, a light-house on the left hand, which the true ones have not.
Counterfeit five dollar bills of Providence Bank , have also recently got into circulation, signed John Innes Clarke, President—Olney Winfor, Cashier , dated Jan. 9, 1805, and payable to T. Jefferson —signatures rather better executed than the genuine.—In the word five , in large capital letters across the bill, the I completely covers the small letter i in the word five , in the second line from top; but in the genuine ones is only covered in part.—Impression generally fainter than the true ones.

PHILADELPHIA, APRIL 24.
In the Charleston Packet , from Jacquemel , came two seamen, viz. John Shaw , of New-York, and William Davidson , of Rhode-Island, who were put on board the Leander , with ten others, by the British ship of war Cleopatra , Capt. White, who report that they were held on board the ship as prisoners, being taken on board vessels captured and sent in for adjudication. The others, viz. Charles Farrington, Morris Simmons, and John Phillips , of Philadelphia; Barnet Cook, Samuel Johnston, and William Pride , of Connecticut; John Simpson , of Bolton; John Childs, and Christopher King , of Rhode-Island, and one whose name is forgot, are still on board the Leander , where they were hardly treated, and every means used to make them enter, which refusing to do, they were kept as prisoners. About the 10th of March the above made their escape, by swimming from the Leander to a vessel at some distance; from thence they got on shore and took to the woods, being afraid to stay in the town; Capt. Lewis applied to the black commander for permission to search the vessels and port for them, but he refused; that when the brig Charleston Packet sailed and was outside of the harbour, Capt. Abbott generously sent his boat ashore, and took them off; that they had not been long stowed away, before the Leander's boat came on board in search of them; not finding them, was obliged to return, but not without threatening to sink the brig, if they could be sure the men were on board.
The above men also say, three other men made an escape from the Leander , two of them part of the above mentioned, taken out of the Cleopatra ,
but were pursued, taken and imprisoned at Jacquemel , and afterwards forced on board the ship as deserters.

RED AND WHITE.—A NOVEL.
[From the ITALIAN .]—Concluded.
B UT Love, who led him, and had better things, in store for him than he thought of for himself, carried him to the well known door of Dorinda , which at length, being opened, unknowing where he was, what he did, or what he wanted, he entered, and ascended the stairs; when hearing a noise, and neither daring to go or stay, he hid himself in a closet which communicated with the dressing room.
Dorinda , just awakened from a delicious dream, which represented him penitent at her feet, soon after arrived, with the smile of satisfaction still on her face, and the lips pouted out in the act of pronouncing his pardon. Thrice she wiped her eyes with her white hand, then rung the bell; and sat down, with Phillis at her side, at the forge of beauty.
Ah, what is it that thou art sitting down for! Stop, ill-fated fair one, stop! Ah, if thou knewest who is hidden there, and that, shorn of its wonted palladium, thy face is about to offer itself naked and defenceless to the looks of thy exploring lover, thou wouldst freeze with horror at the dread of the fate which awaits thee.
As the countryman, who returning to his fields after the storm is past, finds every tree torn up by the roots, and every appearance of the spot so changed that he does not know that he is treading on it; so the young man, having before his eyes this morning apparition, stared at her from head to foot, but did not recognize her for Despina , or distinguish a single feature of the well known face; but, seeing quite different features and a quite different complexion, he thought that it was another woman and not Despina , for which reason he did not move from the place where he was hid, hoping that when she was gone away the true Despina would come.
But to the mysterious altar, sacred to Vanity , stands revealed! Lo the powders, the pastes, the paint with which she makes herself white, and the paint with which she makes herself red, are displayed; before this altar, Despina every morning sits down and builds herself from head to foot.
And now the work goes briskly on; a Cupid takes post on the cheek, the breast resumes its white, the lips resume their vermilion. As when sitting at the loom of a skilful painter, we see first the eyes take birth under his skilful pencil, then the red cheeks, then the lips, and then the hair.
A full hour had the toilsome labour gone on, when the concealed lover first began to discover in her some appearance of the true Despina ; he hesitates and doubts a little, and it seems to be the face of his fair one; but fresh appearances every moment discover the truth, now a false tooth reenters the mouth, the tresses grow gold under the grey powder, and the sides and breast swell with matter not their own.
Like a Dutch merchant, who, long expectant of a ship charged with treasures on which his all depends, every day returning to the sea shore, there looks and trembles, and after long expectation seems to see her at a distance; first he discovers the keel rising as it were out of the bosom of the sea, then the swelled sails, the painted prow, and at length he hears the noise of the crew.
Who can describe how the hidden lover stood petrified with astonishment, blushing at the flame at which he had lighted up the torch of love, and concerned to think that he was truly enamoured with the contents of all these little boxes.
Quick as lightning he darted from the hiding place, but not in the attitude of a suppliant, nor as yet as one frightened at the mysteries to which he had been privy, but like one cured in a minute of the wound he had carried
about him a long time. Then bold and erect, without taking any notice of Despina , he thus addressed himself to the gilded altar:
Ye sacred vases, pastes, pomatums and pulvillio's! lo where I bend devoted at your shrine; accept my gratulations; and as it is ye only whom I have served, so deign to keep concealed the ardency of the vows I have paid you. So may you be blessed in a better concealment of your effects, if in after times, any simple youth, like me, allured by your divine essence, offers homage to the resplendent divinity ye encompass—he bowed, turned upon his keel, and went out of the room.— Despina had not the strength to stop him, she remained motionless, looked at her confidant, and, for a time, was on the point of running mad.
What became of her after so terrible an adventure, fame relates in a different way. Some say, that in less than a year she died of grief; others, that, forgetful of her late detection, in less than a month she set herself to seek for new adventures.
