_
Pelson, of minute oliservation have remarked, that upon
bis introduction to the tribune, M. Benjamin Constant is still
further in contradiction with himself. For the last ten years
be has supported and published. that speakers ought to de-
liver their opinions extemporaneously. and not read them;
be has eveo ingeniously compared •peckers vino bring their
speeches ready made, and viho consequeutly cannot reply
to the ars;uments which may be advanced, to two armies
that march close by each oilier, without exmliuu,,,ing a look;
and yet, on his debut, he (trans a speech from his pocket,
and retails during two hours.

Titr fnllowing is an extract from the JoHroca do Li.ge of
the 13th itistant :

•• The recall of the banished was to have been the object
of a .propnsition that wnishl hove been made to the two
Clambers of France. According to a letter we have re-
ceived front a person in Pori:, whose character we honour
and esteem, this tirnpissition has been anticipated by on ar-
rangement agreed upon by Ministers. All the banished will
be suocestisely rvcalled before the end of the present session,
but without au official ordinance, and in a manner prrely
confident lA." _ .

on learning their arrival, proceeded even to the antecham-
bers uf the Polare to welcome them.

The Holy Father received his illustrious guests with every

CAVANNAIf, MARCH 18, 1819.—Last night,
about rifle o'clock, the citizens were alarmed by the

E. S. Kempton, A. G. Semmes, J. B. Cremor, H.
S. Slocum. J. R. Gifford, T. C. Hayward and Co.
and Watson, and David Hill and Co. were destroyed.
Thus the labmir of many men for many years is
consumed in a moment, The amount lost must be
at least 400,000 dotlars.

IttrANNAH, Feb.l7.—Coffee is 524 cents. and look-
ing up. An *gent from Mews. Baring's of London,
is buying up to the amount of ball a million sterling.

A turtaril. BEIrsVoLENTSOCIETY.—A meeting of the
friends to this laudable iitsittusiori celebrated its 1111101
anniversary no Tuesday by a dinner at the Freemason's
Tavern. object 01 the society is to grant trliel to
artists, or to the widows and orphans of artists, who to iv
stand in need of its aid; and its supporters are all the
liberal and humane, who, while they admire the .corks
ni artist, a reetot romttfoi of those wants and ha rd-
shirt: to which, by the acerd.•nts of human hie, he or hts
family may be exposed. Of such characters evil com-
posed a great proportion of the company that met on
Tuesday to celebrate the anniversary of the initalition,
and subscribe to its fonds. Upwards of teen 1 Ired
gentlemen were assembled by she o'clock. Sir B. }lob-
house took the chair, and conducted the.lrasiiress of the
meeting with great zeal, osipriety, and effect. The
honorary ace olary. Mr. Bahnanno, read • most grant'''.

wetting, from the present and absent friends of tie
society. It was gratifying in a meeting for the relief of
indigent artists to see so many artists of the first emi-
nence attending, to countenance the &arch', and to in.
crease the funds of the association. There were proem,
among others, Mr. Stothard, Mr. Sher, Mr. Snane, Mt.
alack Son, Mr. Calvin, Mr. Cooper, and Mr. Bailey, alf
members of the Royal Academy. It wes no less pleasing, •
than uncommon to hear at a coblie-dinner Filch toasts as
Canova and site Artists of Italy ;" and " The Memory
of Raphael A fleck." Hy the association of snch recol-
lections, with the presence of such professional emineace
to promote the iotert•sts of so laudable an itlatittllioll,
the entertainment of the e‘etting was greater aid more
cordial than that generally derived front pnb!ic dinner
parties. The evening passed away in the utmost hAr-
111011V, and the greatest regularity and order distin•
guished every part of the proceed i ngs.
Amongst the recent emigrations to the United
States, there are twentv-six persons belonging to
one family (Quakers of the name of Thistlethwatte),
lately residing in Meadow-lane Leedr. These ie..
dustrious and enterprising individirals are gone
with an intention of carrying on the wcellen manu-
facture (in conjunction asith others) on an extensive
scale, either in Philadelphie, or some other eligible
scite in its vicinity. Several other families are pre-
paring to emigrate from the same neighbourhood, eta
well as from Dewsbury, Bradford, and other places
in the vicinity. It is true these extensive emigra-
tions may in some tkgree contriletie to relieve oor
overherthcned population; hut they niu,t likewise
tend in en equal ruti t to impoverish the nation ; as
every individual and family who emigrate, setting
aside the pecuniary wealth they carry with them,
take what is of far more consequence to a commer-
cial nation, their talents and ; articles at
present, of comparative small value in this country'
Emigration is still the order of the day at Ply-
mouth Duck and its neighbourhood. Several of the
vessels that have sailed had from 100 to 1f..10 souls
on board. A farmer from Botusfleming, in Devon,
with his wife and ten children, are emong,st the
emigrants. There were besides several families of
sor 6 children. Some excellent workmen have de-
parted, and antie,g them a few from the Dock.yard.
It is supposed that not fewer than 1000 persona have
sailed fur America from Plymouth this season.
We are concerned to state, that the typhus fever
is at present very prevalent in Cautbortte, where
several persons have lately died of this disease.—
Every precaution is at present resorted to, in order
to arrest its progress. In one confined situation,
called Balschouse-lane, fourteen persons lay ill attic
fever on Tuesday lest.—Plentoullt Telegraph..
Thursday evening, a bey knocked at the door of
Mr. 11. Dobson, No. 62, Church street, Mile Eed
New Town ; the girl went to the door, and a boy
gave her a whited-brown parcel, sealed and tied up,
and directed to Mr. Dobson. The girl uskt d it'
there was any answer, tied the boy said none.—The
parcel when opened contained two live smoke;
yard long, which are alive at the present time.
With the deepest regret we learn, that some heavy
failures have taken place in Manchester, which, it is
supposed, will materially affect Liverpool.
Power of theSeren, —The Admit city yecht,cate's
under repair in his elejesty's dock-yard, Woolwich,
was on the 12,11 iust. raised from her hearings, suC-
t ciently high to have the bottom of her keel cop.
pered, by the application of a singe pair of screws,
under the direction of Mr. Williem !kohl, assis!.
ant-builder. The vessel is one of 120 tons, having
on board 30 tons of ballast, with all the stageing,
ace. attached. The whole operation was perfurea:l
by eight men, in five minutes.
An extraordinary case of abduction occurred et
the Cork Assizes, which occupied the Court some
time, and ended in the instnnt acquittal of
.the par-
ties accused. The ,prosceutrix, who, it appeared
from the evidence of Mr. Lee, Citrate of St. Ann's,
-ghandon, was married by him on the 19th of March
-last, stated the circumstance of her having been
carried off from the neighbourhood of Mallow, hat
asserted that she laid not the most dirfaat
tiros of fix alleged merrier"!
