rt,is well'kndwn that the political articles which
occasionally appear in the Argus are originally drawn
up in the Ft ench language, and that they are as much
. the work of the Literary Cabinet of BONAPARTE as
ally- of the portentoui observations which are inserted
the:lioniteur. The following article, copied from
he Argus into all the Paris Papers of the 31st:
read with some interest. •

The most important article in the last English
Papers is the Note delivered by Mr.Foxto the
nister of the United States, respeaing the ..bloclsade
of the Coasts of France, Inlland, and Prussia, from
Brest to the Mouth of the Elbe. We could ii.ot have
ekpeeled, frOm the disposition manifested :by. Mr.
Fox- previous to his entering intoollice, that his
name would ever have appeared at the bottom of a
State Paper containing an Mail-ea .acknOwledgmen
of a doe-trine so contrary to the. Rights and the Inde:-
pendence of Nations
" Could not these principles be .applied with as
much justice to hostilities by land, as to a maritime
war ? In this case an.artny would no longer be ne-
cessary to forth the siege of an enemy's fortress.. By
a simple Diplomatic Note the Cabinet pf
might prohibit to the Cabinets of Vienna, Lis-1:
bon, and Copenhagen, all commercial intercourse
with England. • • . _ .

• " has. often been remarked by Mr: Fox, that
every thing done by his, predecessors to abridge zhe
poWer of France has contriouted to increase it.—
Dees he not then fear to confer upon his enemy the
right of attempting any thing to liberate the nations
of the world • from the yoke which. he pretends to
. iippoSe upon, em ? it is more-easy for her (France)
And her- Allie to blockade the trade of the English,
than it is for England to shut the ports of France,
Prussia, and Holland. .

• " However it way be, this measure is particularly
direaed a ainst the commerce of the United States;
and it is to be presumed that they will feel the ef-
leas of it. It is in tneir power to contribute towards
the success of the generous intentions of -France ;
they would partake.both of the glory and the advan-
tages resulting- from them; for the maritime system.
of England is particularly direded against every
Power which would wish to derive advantzge from
its territorial wealth and industry."
La:: Nircd:lesday S r H. • BLACKMAN celebrated
the 25th anniversary of his KnighthOod, -by a
Sumptuous dinner-, provided for the entertainment of
his seled friends, in number to whom, in 1782,
he gave a general invitation to attend on • that occa-
sion; ibr 40 years ; and it is a most singular cir-
cumstance that their attendance has been continued,
totally uninterrupted by death or-sickness, now 24
of the 40 years, although the. united ages of the
three oldest present on Wednesday amounted to
225 !—(Lewes Journal)
On-Sunday se'nnight Henry Mills, an amiable
youth, an apprentice to Mr. Gillman, linen-draper,
the.corner of Sloane-square, left his Masters house
to dine with his family, in Doaors' Commons-..-After
dinner and tea, lie, with several ,companions; went to
walk in Spa fields, and afterwards went to Bagnigge
Wells. They left the Wells soon after 9 o'clock,
and Mills took leave
,of his coMpanions to go home,
but never reached there. He being much beloved
by his relations, and respeded by his master and fa-
'mily,.eVery possible exertion was made to find him ;
advertisements and hand-bills were issued, offering
a reward for his recovery, but to no purpoSe, till
Saturday morning early, when Mr:George, a trades-
man of the Strand, • was bathing' in i.he Serpen-
tine river, when lie discovered the drowned body of
a young man, standing erect., .After lie had dressed
himself, he procured the assistance' of the man at
the boat-house, and they got the:body to shore. In
the evening the Coroner's jury ..at on -the body, .in
Knightsbridge, and brought in_- a Verdict Found
Drowned.

Oa examination and inquiry, the deCoased proved
to be the -above -Henry Mills,. A man, who was
angling at.. the time Mr. George discovered the
body, from the descriptiOn he seen in the ad-
vertisements and bills, .gave information to the
friends of .the deceased: A dispute arising between
this man and Mr. George, as to I..vhich ,was enttt:'d
to the reward, the parties attended, yeterday, bf,
,fore Mr. GRAHA;\/, at the Public-O:fice, how-str.::(
when, in addition to the above 'circumstances, a
Lady, who was acqUainted with the deceased, stated
a very extraordinary and mysterious circumstance,
viz. that she met him at six o'clock, on the. Sunday-
evening, at Hyde• Park Corner, and conversed with
bim for some time ; and, at this liour,'his friends in
Dot-tors' Commons positively asserted he was in
their company. ,
A servant belonging to the .Duke of Sussex
stated, . that about twelve o'clock (an Sunday
se'onight he was passing through Hyde Pa:k,
when he saw a young man walking near.the Ser-
pentine River, who suddenly plunged in. Fie
endeavoured to procure assistance to get him out,
by applying to the centinel at the barracks, but be
had it not in his power. He -proceeded towards
Kensington, and near the garden wall be met a
Lady and- Gentleman, whom he tdld what had hap-
pened; the Gentleman told him he could swim; and
went with him' to. the spot, -where the young man
went in. When they came to it, 'the water Sias
quite still, and the Gentleman observed he had been
drinking a gooesleal, and was very:hot ; he was,
therefore, afraid of going in, far fear of the cramp:
The cause of the young man being drowned remains
a mystery. -The business will undergo a further
,in-
vestigation.
