A Magistrate having shewri' sbme signs of con-
thehi for the sufferings of the people, DionapArte
said to him, " A Statesman ought to have Lis
heart in his head."

I am informed," said he one day to one of
the most respectable Counsellors of State, " that
you dare to condemn my operations in your mise
rable coteries, anthhat you blame the war; learn,
that the waP will last longer than your white
hairs."

Buonaparte used to saY, that he was ;the only
proprietor of land in France, and all others were
only permitted to use it.
• Being present one night at the representation
of Agamemnon, be said to the author, ‘.‘ Your
play is worth nothing. By what right does this
Strophus (one`of the characters of the play) make
remonstrances to Clytemnestra ; lie is only a
valet ?"—", No, Sire," replied theauthor; ''he
is not a valet ; be is a dethroned Prince, the friend
of -Agamemnon."—" You know nothing about
Courts," said Buonaparte ; "at Court, the. King
only is somebody,. all the rest 'are oily valets."—
It was in the presence of several of his Ministers
and General Officers Chat he held this laugUage.
Among the means which he employed to raise
soldiers was that of shutting up manufactories.
The workmen, being thus threatened with famine,
were forced tb edist. One of his favourites said
to him, " Sire, if you want soldiers misery must
be angmented."
After the battle of Wagram, Buonaparte rode
round the field of battle.; and seeing it covered
with dead bodies,•he coldly observed, " Here is
a great consummation."
Buonaparte said, since his dethronement, " I
shall be more happy than my brothers. They
do not know how to occupy themselves. I shall
read
.and,write history."
Louis' Buonaparte, after having quitted. 'Hal-
land, ,took refuge at Graetz, in Styria, where he
wrote a Romance, called " Maria," in which he
drew a portrait of Dutch manners with. consider 7
able talent.

There was a report yesterday, which we shall
regret to find 'well founded, that fire British
Officers were lately killed in a popular tumult at
Bourdeaux, and that all the archives in that city'
were burned by the populace. The disturbance
is said to have originated in an opposition to the
collection' of the duties, we presume the druits,.
reunis, mentioned in the Proclamation of the 10th
instant.

Last evening, at a quarter past eight o'clock, her
MAJESTY, Princesses AUGUSTA acrd MARY, arrived

'the Royal'Duchess, at the Pulteney Hdtel, Pic-
cadilly, where the Russian Ambassador, the,

CounteSs, MEIVEN, .Bcc. were of the. party. We

his departure from. Paris to England for a few
Mays, and that he is now not expected till the 22d
inst. The Royal yacht is to: be- furnished with

Great preparations are making in ill the pro-
vincial cities, towns, and villages, to celebrate the
signing of the Definitive Treaty of Peace.
Advices' have reached us 'from Curagoa to the
beginning. of February, accompanied with infor-
mation from the Caraccas Gazettes of the preced-
ing month. On the Ist of January, a meeting of
the principal inhabitants of that city was convened
in the Convent of San Francisco by the Govern-
ment. The object was, that General BOLIVAR
should gix'e an account to the people of the man-
ner in which the concerns had been conducted
during the time that he -had been at the head of af-
fairs. 'Being attended on this occasion by the Mi-
nister of Justice, the Secretary at War, and other
great Officers, and the reports of their respective
departments having been read, the General ad-
dressed the Assembly, and in an animated speech
detailed the duties that had been
.fulfilled, and
those that yet remained to accomplish the great
work of national independence.—The Papers con-
tain also the subsequent paragraph :
The Republican troops have gained new successes in the
West. 'lke division under Colt Villapo has fought three ac-'
tions, in the last of which it completely routed a detachment
of 560 Spaniards, in the town of Guama, near San Felipe,
taking from them two pieces of cannon, 26 muskets, three
drums, and some ammunition, killing 54 men, and dispers-
ing and pursuing the rest. The particulars of this action are
momentarily expected 'from head-quarters: The said division
entered San Felipe on the 9.7 th ult."

A Dispensation has been passed, authorising
the Emperor of Russia, the RING of FRANCE, and
