THE COVRAGE OF LAWYk:IIS.—The very respect-
able bickerings between Mr. ALLEY and Mr. STox FS
are likely to be Fettled in Westminster-Hall. The
bravado about challenges, blood, Scc. between these
two very courageons men, puts us in mind of a
story that is related of Mr. GAHROW. That Gen-
tleman, while examining a witness at some Assises,
is said to have applied expressions to the person
under examination which the latter thought went to
wound his honour ! Next morning, at a very early
hour, Homespun waited on the legal Chief, armed
with a horsewhip, for the purpose of obtaining satis-
faction. Mr. G. had not risen, but the injured man
obtained admittance to his bed-room. After having
learned the object of the visit, Mr. G.. talked very
big and furious, _ and then coolly remarked to the
countryman—" Well, my friend, but you don't re.
. quire satisfaction before I get out of bed, do you ?"
" Oh no, certainly not !" 64 Well, then," rejoined
the wit, 66 by Gud I'll lie in bed till doomsday i"

SUNDAY, JUNE 23, 1811.

We have received Moniteurs to the 18th inst.
They contain BUONAPARTE'S speech to the Legisla-
tive Body, which is of some itnportance. In it, his
views respecting the Roman Catholic church are

in some degree unfolded ; and he gives a pretty
good hint that he will not suffer it to continue long
in its present state, but will establish a kind of
general Religion, composed of those gi truths and
principles which belong to the whole universe."
Ile scarcely condescends to notice the union of
Holland and the Valais to France, of
.which they
were mere .‘ emanations !" He announces, with
some confidence and exultation the triumph of
Lis policy over the American Council, and ex-
presses his intention to second the United States in
their attempt to vindicate the independence of their
flag. Against us he continues to vent his displea-
sure and his threats. Finding that all his predic-
tions respecting the total subjection of Spain and
POrtugal have failed, he now tells Europe that he
prolongs the contest merely in order to exhaust our
blond and our resources, and that when half our
families shall be in mourning lie will terminate the
v:ar in the Peninsula by a peal of thunder that will
annihilate our armies, and avenge Europe and Asia
by finishing this second Punic war ! He concludes,
by a boast, that although he has placed 100 milions
extra in the hands of his War Minister during the
last quarter, he shall have occasion to impose no
fresh tax upon his people.

srgEcil OF BUONAPARTE TO THE LEGISLATIVE

BODY.
