IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.
HOUSE OF LORDS.
APRIL 23.
HIS MAJESTY'S MESSAGE.
Lord Grenville moved the order of the day for taking his majesty's message into consideration. The message being read,
His lordship rose and observed, that after the message which their lordships had heard, it would not be necessary for him to take up much of the time of the house. He was persuaded that there could be but one sentiment among their lordships respecting his majesty's message; he was convinced there could be but one feeling in the country, as to the line of conduct which it was necessary to adopt; and he believed there could be but one opinion throughout Europe respecting the conduct of Prussia. Had there existed no connexion between that power and G. Britain, if his Prussian majesty had not been bound by ties of alliance, of blood, of friendship, and of gratitude, still one might have supposed that his true policy, a sense of his real interest, would have induced him to pursue a course different from that which occasioned the message which had been just read. It was not his intention to enter deeply at present into the particulars of the conduct of the Prussian government; it would be necessary, however, to make some reference to them. That court had been engaged in confidential intercourse with England previous to the battle of Austerlitz; and if any reliance could be placed upon assurances, if any faith could be reposed upon treaties, we had a right to expect that she would be found, not fighting on the side of the enemy, but sustaining the common cause of Europe against France. On the contrary, she acted as if, notwithstanding those assurances and those treaties, she had been leagued with France from the beginning. This was manifest in various instances. Her first open act was to occupy Hanover, under pretence of covering the retreat of the British and allied army, and of securing her own frontier against the danger which might result from the establishment of a French force in the electorate of Hanover. That this occupation was a flagrant outrage and violation of justice, no one could deny, and as such, his majesty could not but feel it deeply. The insult and injury, however, affecting him more in his private than in his public capacity, he determined to apply to remonstrance and negotiation, rather than to measures of a more serious character. What was the conduct of Prussia? Their lordships would scarcely believe it if the facts were not notorious to all Europe. Before time could be given for the first temperate representation, before any explanation was offered or received she took forcible possession of his majesty's electoral dominions. The country which she occupied a few days before, for the express purpose of protecting & guarding against the arms of France within one fortnight after she appropriated to herself, as a cession & a conquest made by France. This was the second step in the gradation of the injuries offered to his majesty. — There was, however, a third step, more general and more injurious in its object and consequences. His Prussian majesty caused it to be notified to the British minister at Berlin, that, in obedience to a requisition from France he must proceed to exclude the shipping of England, not only from Prussia, but from the ports of all the countries within the reach of her controul or influence. It was in this situation we now stood.
His majesty could not but feel deep and lasting regret that the act of Prussia, over which he had no control, should involve in the calamities of war not only the subjects of Prussia, but those of other countries. Whether any alternative remained to his majesty, it would be for their lordships to determine; to his mind there was none. He could not perceive what other measures than those which had been resorted to could be taken against a country which was found from choice or necessity, to yield to every requisition of the enemy. Such bound acquiescence did not become any country, and much less a great country like Prussia. It was obvious that, in point of honor and reputation she could gain nothing by it; it remained to be proved whether, even in the inferior consideration of interest, she would find herself the better by it. He purposely abstained from making use of strong terms in speaking of the conduct of Prussia. If it could be the object of any one to irritate, to inflame the passions, to make it more difficult to renew hereafter the connexion between the two countries, how easy would it be for him to represent the conduct of Prussia in a much stronger
light? One observation more remained for him to make, which related to the interest of Prussia herself. This appeared to him to be the kind of reasoning by which she endeavored to reconcile herself to the strange line of policy she had tho't proper to pursue. "I have no hostility against you: France insists upon my ceding her a part of my dominions; I must indemnify myself somewhere, you are my weaker neighbor, and I will wrest my indemnity from you." What could there be more monstrous, more unjust, more contrary to the principles of the law of nations, than such a proposition? He would allow that cases may occur, in which a country might be obliged to cede part of her territories; but though her interests were affected, still her honor might be preserved. There was no disgrace in being the victim of such necessity. It was not dishonorable to be obliged to bend to circumstances after an appeal to arms; the dishonor was not in contending against such an event, in yielding without an effort or a struggle. The grounds upon which he would move the address to his majesty which he held in his hand, were these: first, the necessity of evincing that a connexion did and ought to exist between England and Germany, and that we felt deeply for her interests. He was also anxious to convince Prussia, that there was not a power in Europe who could exclude British ships from her ports with impunity; and above all, he wished to mark our abhorrence of that abominable principle, of one power indemnifying itself at the expense of its weaker neighbor. He would acknowledge also he had another powerful motive for proposing it, a motive in which he anticipated the perfect concurrence not only of every noble lord who heard him, but of every man in the country. He was anxious to convince his majesty that they felt an insult offered to him as an insult offered to themselves, and that there was no part of his dominions in the possession of which they were not willing to defend and maintain him. In this loyal and patriotic sentiment he was persuaded every one who heard him would agree. He would trespass no longer upon their lordships' time, but move that an address be presented to his majesty upon his most gracious message. His lordship then read the address, which was an echo of the message.
The address having been again read by the lord chancellor,
Lord Hawkesbury expressed his entire and unqualified approbation both of the address and the measures adopted on this occasion by his majesty's ministers. If Prussia persisted in her unjust conduct, he was convinced that the evil effects of that injustice would revert in a tenfold degree on herself. He also hoped that every proper measure would be taken which might tend to strengthen the good understanding at present prevailing between this country and two great continental powers, namely, Russia and Sweden.
Lord Mulgrave also expressed his approbation of the measures adopted with respect to Prussia, which, he said, augured well for the future conduct of government.
The address was then agreed to nem. dis. and ordered to be presented by the lords with the white robes.
EMPIRE OF FRANCE.
PARIS, April 1.
Yesterday at three o'clock, P. M. the prince arch chancellor of the empire repaired to the senate, which had been assembled by order of the emperor. After being received with the usual ceremonies his serene highness caused the secret of the senate to read the decree, which authorised him to preside at the present session, and he then pronounced the following address:
GENTLEMEN,
At the moment when France, uniting in opinion with you, assured her happiness and glory, by swearing allegiance to our august sovereign, your wisdom prescribed the necessity of establishing a system of hereditary government, and of confirming it by institutions analogous thereto.
Your wishes are partly accomplished, and they will be still more so by the several acts which his majesty the emperor and king has directed me to place before you. And receiving with gratitude these new testimonials of his confidence in the senate and love for his people, you will hasten to cause them to be transcribed into your registers.
The first of the acts which I come to communicate, is a statute containing the dispositions which result from the 14th article of the constitutional acts of the 28th Floreal (year 12.) This statute regulates whatever concerns the civil establishment of the Imperial family, and designates the
duties of the princes and princesses, who compose it, towards the emperor.
The principles which constitute that important family statute, announce how dear it is to the heart of his majesty that the dynasty of which he is the founder, should perpetuate the happiness of France, and fulfil the elevated hopes of which it is the object. It is above all interesting to the people that the princes should be raised above other men. The honors which surround their cradle, are founded in the wish of giving additional authority to the examples of submission and virtue, which are their first debt towards the country.
It is also necessary to the accomplishment of their high destinies that they should be placed, from their birth, under the eyes of the father of the empire, in order that his superintendence should direct their thro's to the interest of the state, and that the most rigid morals should purify and ennoble all their attachments.
The second act is a decree, which effects the re-union of the Venetian provinces to the kingdom of Italy, whereby that part of his majesty's estates will receive the increased importance and lustre, which the glory of its founder gave reason to expect.
By the third decree his majesty confers the throne of Naples, on his imperial highness prince Joseph, and his legitimate male issue; it reserves to the prince all the rights assured to him by the constitutions of the empire; declaring always that the crowns of France and Naples shall never be united on the same head. This glorious reward of prince Joseph's services, and of his constant and pious attachment to the chief of his family, will be to you, gentlemen, a subject of lively satisfaction, which will be increased on learning that this elevation of a prince, the object of your veneration and love, will not interfere with any of his relations to us, and that the new king of Naples preserves, with his crown, the title of grand elector.
Third and fourth decrees; the one contains the cession in full sovereignty to his imperial highness prince Murat, of the duchies of Cleve's & Berg. The other confers, with the same title, the principality of Guastalla on her imperial highness the princess Pauline, and on her husband the prince Borghese.
The military glory of prince Murat, the importance and splendor of his successes, his public and private virtues will interest every Frenchman in the just recompense which they have obtained, and will endear his authority to his new subjects. Prince Murat will be charged with the defence of an important part of the frontier of the empire—nor could his majesty confide it to worthier hands.
You have appreciated the merit of prince Borghese, even before your decrees had naturalised him among us; his conduct in the last campaign gives him additional claims to your esteem, and the public confidence.
The fifth decree transfers in full sovereignty to marshal Berthier, the principality of Neuchatel. This affecting proof of the Emperors benevolence to his ancient companion in arms, to an intrepid and enlightened co-operator, cannot fail to interest the sensibility of all good hearts, and to furnish cause of gratulation to intelligent minds.
The sixth decree operates the re-union of Lucca, Massa, Carrara and Garfagna.
The seventh decree erects in the states of Parma and Piacenza three grand titles, of which the splendor will be supported by considerable arrangements which have been made in these countries by order of his majesty.
By the effect of similar reserves contained in the decrees relative to the states of Venice, the kingdom of Naples, and principality of Lucca, his majesty has created rewards, which are worthy of him, for several of his subjects, who have rendered great military services, and who, in the exercise of eminent functions, have contributed, in a distinguished manner to the welfare of the state.
The emperor intends that these titles shall become the property of those who shall receive them, and who shall have the right of transmitting them to their eldest male descendants as a monument of imperial munificence, and of the just motives by which it has been excited.
This great conception, Gentlemen, and the secondary measures, which accompany it, will make known to Europe, the value which he attaches to the brave exploits, that have seconded his labours, and to the fidelity of those, whom he has employed in the direction of important affairs. This disposition also presents political advantages, which cannot escape your discernment. The natural splendor which surrounds men of eminent dignity, gives an authority of precept and example over the people, which the monarch sometimes advantageously substitutes for the authority of public office; while on the other hand, those men become the natural advocates of the
people to the throne; it is therefore the interest of the state that, by the stability and splendor of their condition, they should be raised above all vulgar considerations.
To these motives the legitimacy of which cannot be contested, are superadded other advantages easily imagined, and which I believe it fupefluous to analyse.
Such, Gentlemen, are the profound bases, on which the emperor would establish the great political system, with the conception of which divine providence has inspired him. It is in thus assuring the happiness of the present generation, and in preparing the grandeur of future ages, that he incessantly adds to the sentiments of love, admiration, and respect, which you participate in common with all the French.
EMPIRE OF FRANCE.
LEGISLATIVE BODY, April 18.
PRESIDENCY OF M. FONTANES.
Continuation of the sitting of the 14th.
M. Cretet, counsellor of state in present, ing the project of finances, has explained the motive of them with much perspicuity. The orator's reflections upon each part of this immense work have been heard with the liveliest interest. Our limits will not permit us to give them literally, but we shall offer that part to our readers which has the most intimate connection with the political situation of Europe, and particularly that of France and England.
"A trifling increase of the public debt, balanced by a redemption executed, or prepared; resources derived from the remains of the national domains & foreign succors, the fruits of victory, & wise policy; these, added to the ordinary public contributions, M. Cretet observed, might perpetuate to the latest term of glory a vast empire, but lately almost overwhelmed under the wreck of a terrible revolution.
"It has been said, and unhappily it is but too true, that Europe seems as if she could no longer reckon upon the benefits of peace, which have been promised her by unfaithful treaties; she does not enjoy even the benefit of a truce, which is a necessary interval previous to the recommencement of hostilities. If we examine how it is that, in the midst of civilization, the people still feel all the effects of barbarism, we must be convinced that some extraordinary cause must have occurred to throw Europe into a state the most opposite to the repose and interest of the surrounding nations.
"The abrogation of the rights of nations was prepared, at the commencement of the last age, by the contempt of an ambitious nation, which was disposing itself for the attainment of universal dominion; and it was crushed beyond remedy, when one of the ministers of the nation, lifting up the voice of audacity, dared to proclaim, 'That a single cannon shot should not be fired in Europe, without the permission of his government.'
"Europe remained mute and indifferent to this insulting declaration. She seemed as if she wished to conceal the fact, that this signal of dominion was the loss of her independence; and that as this nation had assumed the command, obedience was absolutely necessary; imprudent slumber, which has since produced such melancholy consequences!
"The assertion made by the minister Chatham, flattered the pride and ambition of his nation.
"England, favored by unheard of events pursued its designs with rapidity. London at this day would probably have been the metropolis of the universe, if Heaven had not given birth to an extraordinary man; if Heaven had not charged him with the re-establishment of the law of nations, in endowing him with prudence, and every necessary means for accomplishing his destiny with success.
"His genius has laid those storms incessantly excited by our implacable enemy—his powerful hand has paralyzed his efforts; but at the same time he constructed a vast system, the only one which could remedy the evils of Europe.
"The struggle which subsisted between France and England appeared first as tho' it could not be terminated but by reason or by force. The effects of reason will always vanish in proportion as our enemies pretend to the dominion of the universe, thro' that of the seas; and as long as its councils resound with those savage cries for a war of extermination, the means of force must be prepared against this nation; but nature opposes obstacles to their execution, the duration of which we are unable to ascertain.
"New combinations are upon the point of fixing the future, and consolidating our hopes sooner or later, for the return of a lasting peace. He has formed a power in the centre of Europe, sufficiently strong to break the force of every attack it has received, as well as those that may yet be prepared against it.

England, abusing its situation and its immense maritime forces, has itself indicated the points from whence she may be resisted with success. To the efforts that she makes by sea, it may be necessary to oppose greater efforts upon land; and since she pretends to insult and cut off other nations, by laying the ocean under an edict, just reprisals call upon us to insult her, and to shut her out of the continent to the greatest extent that may be possible.
Thus, till England shall console the weeping commerce of nations, and renouncing an universal monopoly, shall restore them their natural rights, and no longer pretend to dispute with them, except in respect to the advantages of its soil, and the perfection of its arts, her vessels, loaded with unproductive riches, shall shew themselves in vain upon those extensive coasts which shall repulse them. England will at last be tired of this rigorous divorce; it shall restore to Europe the empire of reason, and with it a permanent peace.
Such are the obstacles that oppose a peace so desirable; we ought to render ourselves worthy of it, by putting ourselves in a situation to obtain it by conquest."
BOSTON, May 30. FROM LEGHORN.
By the politeness of captain Sawyer, from Leghorn 41 days, we have been favored with the following communication.
The blockade of Naples by the English is said to have been declared at Palermo and Messina on the 28th March. There were some apprehensions that the blockade of Leghorn would follow. The squadron off Sicily and Naples consists of 4 ships of the line, 10 frigates and 2 brigs. The city of Gaeta opposed the entrance of the French, and is not yet taken; but besieged by them, and is supposed would surrender. The emperor Napoleon is soon expected at Rome to be made king of the Romans. The Pope to retire to Versailles on a pension. It is supposed the emperor will also make some changes in the government of Tuscany. A slight earthquake was experienced at Leghorn on the afternoon of the 16th April.
Alexandria Daily Advertiser. FRIDAY, JUNE 6.
The French frigate Topaze, so long cooped up in Lisbon, ventured out on the 15th of April, and was on that day taken by a British frigate, after an action of three hours, 5 leagues from the rock of Lisbon.
Extract of a letter from our correspondent, dated Nantes, April 15, 1806.
About three weeks since there appeared in many of the Paris papers an article stating that the American minister had received an order from the government to be more circumspect in his expressions relative to the government of France. This, the French government say was inserted without their knowledge; but every body knows no paper can go to press without each article being first exhibited to the police. Again, about ten days ago, in almost all the papers it was asserted that the American minister was at Amsterdam, embarking for his own country. All the world regards these as broad hints for Gen. Armstrong to walk off. [N. Y. Evening Post.]
The following apostrophe on the late events of Nelson's brilliant victory, were written by a lady of distinction in Ireland:
"Never was there, indeed, an event so mournfully and so triumphantly important to England as the battle of Trafalgar; the sentiment of lamenting the individual more than rejoicing in the victory, shews the humanity and affection of the people of England. But their good sense upon reflection will dwell on the consequent only, because no death at a future moment could have been more glorious and might have been less loss. The public would never have sent him on another expedition; his health was not equal to another effort; and he might have yielded to the natural, but less imposing effects of more worldly honors. Whereas, he now begins his immortal career, having nothing left to achieve upon earth; and bequeathing to the English fleet a legacy, which they alone are able to improve. Had I been his wife, or his mother, I would rather have wept him dead, than seen him languish on a less splendid day."
"In such a DEATH there is no STING, In such a GRAVE is everlasting VICTORY."
Interest ing truth.—A gentleman lately from Cayenne, or which province Victor Hughes, the celebrated scoundrel, who so long infested the West Indies, is now governor, informs, that in conversation a short time ago, Victor gave him the following cutting representation of the character of our government.—"The Americans," (says Victor, alternately slapping himself on each cheek, and each side,) "take it here—and take it here—and take it here—and take it here—Yet are obliged to march off tame and humble about their own business." What can in a more lively manner, represent the poverty of our national honor, into which we have fallen, under our Philosopher!
Since Thomas Jefferson came to the head of our administration, there is not an insult, and in-
dignity, nor even a chastisement, which England, France, Spain,—yes, poor pitiful Spain,—have not inflicted upon our country, and countrymen with impunity. Americans have been whipped, scourged, imprisoned, impressed, enslaved, stabbed, shot—Yet we have no regrets. Rather than have one citizen ignominiously whipped, I should have thought the American people would have risen in a body, hurled their betrayers headlong from office, and stood erect with arms in their hands to punish every foreign outrage. When shall we revive the fainting spirit of our country? When shall we pour a vigorous tide of health through her veins? In the name of shame and indignation, we have been trampled on long enough. Let us pluck the reins from hands, too feeble to hold them; Americans, "awake, arise, or be forever fallen."
[Hamp. Federalist.]
We have it from the best authority, and with pleasure announce the pleasing intelligence, that the works of the Potomac company on the Shenandoah, are in such forwardness, and the force employed on them is so considerable; that the canal, locks, gates, in short, the entire navigation from river to river, will be completed in the ensuing September: a consummation to be prevented only by a failure in the pecuniary resources of the company; and surely such a failure cannot and ought not to be apprehended when we consider that half a million of dollars have already been expended on the Potomac navigation—that the sum wanted to complete this great work, cannot exceed eight, or at most ten thousand dollars; and that there are four banks in the District of Columbia and that of the banks in the state of Maryland, there is one with a large capital, established on the wise and patriotic principle of aiding INTERNAL IMPROVEMENTS.
Every mind beyond the size of a Pigmy's, will view this great enterprise, so long delayed, but now happily so near fruition, in a light far more interesting than as a mere machine to reward the adventurers for their advances of money, and to promote the convenience of the land-holders on the banks of Potomac and its tributary rivers. IT IS A LINK, and a most essential LINK in the CHAIN, that is to bind together the ATLANTIC STATES. Vain and delusive would it be, to hope that the union of these two worlds, separated by mountains almost impassable and uninhabited, could be of long duration, unless means were found to lessen the distance, to remove the barriers, and to cherish a population between them.
[Washington Fed.]
Within a day or two, we have had no foreign arrivals, in this port, with news of any considerable consequence; nor has any thing of importance been received by the mails. We are therefore left at leisure to contemplate, with serious attention, the political changes which, FOR A TIME, are obscuring the character of the respectable state of Massachusetts.
Whether we turn to the page of history, or consult the nature of man, the event which has taken place in this state is an event which was to be expected. A government, free as were those of the several states, always did and always will cherish in its own bosom the seeds of its destruction. It can live in difficulty. In distress it commands the virtue and talents of its subjects; common danger keeps the pretensions of the impostor under control. But in calm prosperity, when the noble and daring efforts of the real patriot are no longer put in immediate and urgent requisition; when a sense of security pervades the community, and the pursuits of industry occupy the attention of the sober and virtuous part of society; then steps forth the false tongued hypocrite; idle and desperate, he addresses himself to the weak, the wicked and the uninformed. He pursues his course with unremitting perseverance. To love quiet is the constitutional character of those whom he would supplant; and year after year, he will improve occasion, until at last he is sure to overcome.
This is one part of the history of society. It is as true as that ever free government existed—it is as inevitable, unless human nature change, as death. But what is the other? That the ascendancy of false patriots, unprincipled and incapable men, will again lead to distress. Distress will again call forth virtue and talents, and probably the state of society be meliorated by experience. The worthless demagogue will sink into oblivion or live in public notice but to be hated and despised.
But the truly virtuous, the enlightened and respectable part of society will ever remain firm, in all vicissitudes. Those who supplant them to day, will to morrow most humbly beg their aid, to avert the consequences of their own unprincipled conduct. Men of talents and character
will always be used, in danger, by their inferiors, as the anchor in the storm, and they must content themselves with the consciousness of having served their country. [Boston Rep.]
One cold stormy day last February, a female stranger made her appearance in the Beach-wood's settlement on the Lackawanna. She appeared to be about thirty; tall and delicately formed; but the rose that once had bloomed on her cheek was withered by the canker worm of care; and reason no longer swayed his sceptre over her mind. "They drowned my mother, O how she screams! There! There! She sinks; help her; help her!" Was the burden of her song. But she would occasionally cast her eyes on the men, and with a wild and fearful look, exclaim "No! No! I have you, you've ruined me; poor Poll would drown herself but the water's cold." No entreaties could induce her to take shelter from the ravages of the storm. But she flew from house to house, a most melancholy picture of sorrow and woe. After having been absent a day or two she returned with an infant naked on her bosom. "Poor thing," she would cry, when the hospitable cottager begged it of her—"Poor thing, I know you'll starve it." Nature remained true to her duty, although reason had fled from her seat. A tear, the first she had shed, fell and mingled with the snow on its neck. The soul of the little sufferer was just winging its way to a kinder parent, when the unfortunate maniac entered a cottage where the woman had left the week before buried a new born infant. She kindly begged that the child might at least be put into her arms. The mother consented, and Mrs. Bucklin (for that is the name of the humane woman) wiped the snow from its neck, wrapped it in warm flannel and gave it the breast. A gleam of wandering reason seemed to shoot across the mind of the distressed mother. She was delighted to see her offspring on the breast of its humane nurse, and expressed no wish to take it again, but soon wandered off; declaring she had drowned her child. She passed the village, and it is not known whence she came or whither she has gone. Mrs. Bucklin still keeps the child, and nurses it as her own. Colonel Stanton of Wayne county has sent it some clothes, and the name of Polly Snow, expressive of the place of its birth. In the name of humanity, I thank them for their kindness.

To the Printer of the PHILADELPHIA GAZETTE. La Guayra, March 13, 1806.
SIR, THE undersigned, guided by sentiments of justice, communicates to you the information of the departure from this place of Don Antonio Cyaralar, late an officer of the Royal Treasury, he having been deprived of his employment in October 1805, in compliance with the Royal order of the 1st of June of the same year, by which he was cited to appear before the Supreme Council to answer a charge of a dilapidation from the Royal Treasury, of more than 20 thousand dollars, by him committed in the year 1796, and upon which charge he was declared guilty by the Governor General, acting under Royal Commission; and incurred the penalty of the law, by being sentenced to banishment from this territory, deprived of his employment, and all his property being confiscated; of all which a report has been made to his Majesty and the original documents forwarded to Madrid in the month of April of the last year (1805.)
And as, in consequence of his desperate situation, he may perhaps attempt to deceive some of your fellow citizens, by pretended Royal Orders in his favor, whereby many of them may be materially injured in their interest by advancing him money thereon, which he will make use of to prevent the just punishment to which he has been sentenced for his base and infamous conduct, I request you to publish in your paper, that, in addition to what has just been specified, he is indebted, in this port and the province, more than 40 thousand dollars which his creditors have not the least expectation of ever recovering; and who, on the contrary, mutually congratulate each other with having got rid of him. The publication of these facts will, no doubt be of essential service to your citizens, by putting them on their guard against the villainous projects of the guilty Cyaralar.
I am your sincere friend, and of every honest man, CORNELIUS SUSARNA.
PARISIAN RUMOURS.
At the Grand Fete ordered by our emperor for the 2d of next May, sixteen new Princes of our Grand Military and Political Functionaries are to be proclaimed, in the presence of six Princes exalted into Kings by his Imperial majesty. The hereditary ranks and titles will at the same time be restored to all those of the former Nobility whose names are not still found up the list of emigrants. Several generals, senators, counsellors of state, prefects, legislators, tribunes, judges &c will also be created and raised on that day as Marquises, Counts, Viscounts, and Barons; and every member of the legion of honor will have a right to stile himself a Chevalier. A new Order of Knighthood, that of the Empress's, called Honorable Fidelity," will then be announced.
The Queens of Spain, Prussia, Bavaria, and Wurtemberg are said to be among its Grand Officers; and 400 other foreign and French ladies of rank and fashion are mentioned as its principal members. The ornaments of these female knights, are stars, worn on the left side of their bosom, and aiguillettes worn on the right side of their head-dress. Among the ladies already nominated to this distinction, the name of Madame Genet, Sacl, Becamier, Talleyrand, Reminat, Serant, Segur, Le Brun, Custine, Dorat, Lauriston, L. Grange Savary, L'Eschevin, Montceins, Hallau, and Miss Williams are mentioned. Four ladies in waiting of the Queens of Spain, Prussia, Bavaria, and Wurtemberg, two maids of honor of the Electresses of Hesse and Baden, with several German and Italian princesses Countesses and Baronesses, are also among our female Chevaliers in petto.
The expenses for the Fete of the 2d of May are calculated 18 000 000 of livres; of which the ci devant Elector of Bavaria has paid 1 000 000, and the ci devant Elector of Hesse 800 000. The value of the presents to be distributed on the same occasion is said to be 6 000 000 of livres, taken from the privy purse of our emperor and empress. Besides all the commanders and principal chiefs of the left campagna in Germany, several deputies of each regiment are to be present. It is reported here but with what foundation cannot be determined, that the Kings of Spain and Prussia, and their Queens together with the Kings and Queens of Bavaria, Wurtemberg, and Hesse, have been invited to this splendid fete, and that few, if any of them, dare decline the invitation.

VALUABLE FAMILY MEDICINES.
Just received direct from the Patentees, and FOR SALE BY JAMES KENNEDY, JUN. DRUGGIST;
The following Valuable Medicines:
Dr. Rawson's Anti-Bilious and Stomach Bitters.
PREPARED BY THOMAS H. RAWSON, Member of the Connecticut Medical Society.
THESE Bitters have undoubtedly had the most rapid sale of any Patent Medicine ever before discovered, and are justly appreciated for their singular and uncommon virtues for restoring weak and decayed constitutions, and all that train of complicated complaints so common in the spring and fall seasons, such as intermittent Fevers and Agues, long Autumnal Fevers, Dysenteries, &c. They are also a very pleasant bitter for common use, and where they are known they have taken the place and superceded the use of all other bitters in public houses as well as in private families.—Price 50 cents a box.
Dr. Lee's (Windham) Biliary Pills. THE great fame and increasing demand for these valuable pills for these twelve years past, bespeak their intrinsic worth. They have proved singularly efficacious in Bilious and Yellow fevers, Jaundice, Head Aches, Dysenteries, Biliary Cholic, Colic, Flatulency, Female complaints, &c.
The very great demand and high esteem in which these pills are held throughout the United States and the West Indies, has induced many to counterfeit them; the purchaser is requested to observe that the name of Samuel Lee, jun. (the patentee) is affixed to each bill of directions, in his own hand writing, or they will not be genuine. Price 50 cents a box.
Dr. Rawson's Itch Ointment.
A certain and safe application for that disagreeable complaint called the ITCH. Price 42 cents a box.
Dr. Rawson's Anti Biliary Pills, or, Family Physic.
The extraordinary celebrity these pills have gained, the universal demand for them and effect of which they are held by medical men of the first eminence, are sufficient testimonials of their intrinsic worth. In great colics and sudden attacks of disorders, an early use of these pills often produces the happiest effects, and taken once in eight or ten days in cases of indigestion, headache, dizziness, pains in the stomach and bowels, dysentery, diarrhoea, dropsies, &c. and a liberal use of my anti biliary bitters in the intermediate time has relieved patients almost to a miracle—price 25 cents a box.
Thompson's Aromatic Tooth Paste,
For the scurvy in the teeth and gums, and for whitening and preserving the teeth. It likewise takes off all disagreeable smells from the breath, which generally arises from scorbutic gums and bad teeth.

It is neatly put up in pewter boxes with paper directions. Price 50 cents a box.

Runaway Negro JACK.
Ran away from the subscriber, living in Pomonkey Neck, Charles county, Maryland, on the 15th of last June, a Negro man, named JACK, about 50 years of age, and about 5 feet 10 or 11 inches high, lusty and well made, his voice in common loud, and bold in his looks and manner. I don't know any thing that would make a stranger suspect Jack's elopement sooner than that of calling himself a Baptist , and fond of argument.
JACK came from Guinea when he was about 12 or 13 years of age. There is a scar on the back of one of his hands occasioned by a burn or seald while an infant, it must be discovered by first notice; each of his skins are flame colored about 4 or 5 inches in length and better than one inch broad in different places.
Whoever brings said Jack home, or secures him in jail that I get him again, shall receive Twenty Dollars for the first 20 miles, Thirty Dollars for 30 miles, or Forty Dollars for 50 miles, and One Shilling for each mile after, and reasonable charges paid by
RICHARD BRANDT.
