B [JONA PA RTE.

131JONAPA1;;rE, during a few days previous to
bis departure from P.,ris, appeared meditative-,
and much employed ; it was, however, on his own
personal affairs, His attention was turned to the
no.w world whither he was going: Yon may,
perhaps, suppose that the examples of those Ro-
man heroes who could not outlive their honour-
able defeat on the plain of Philippi, might have
occurred to his remembrance ; or he of Pontes,
who, though out of the reach of Pompey, 'sought
no further refuge than the Cimerian Bosphorus,
he-the double instrinoent of poison and the sword..
You may imagine that he was reflecting on the
frreudly effers'ot his faithful Mameluke, echo, on
frig abdication the preceding year at- Fontaine-
, bleat', stood before him %rid' his newly sharpened
seinnetar, saying, that he waited his orders to per-
' form the last duty. The examples of Cato, of
-Utica, of Hannibal, and of so' many other illus-
trious personages, you may believe, glided through
his mind. No, linunaparte's thoughts were re-
mote
from these heathenish deeds of greatness ;
irk wditations were of a more sober amt fatniliar
nature. The preparations with which be was bu-
sied at this-eventful moment, '' big with his fate,"'
were those of Pella!, and perfumery; and his
discpurse was of the cut, size, and quality of va-
rioms kiwis of shirts,- and the quantity of poina-
tuths and perfumes which he judged necessary for
his expedition. 'The inventory of those objects
whieh lie has left behindhim is not the least cu-
thins fragment found among the collection of his
State •Papers. It .ippears that no detail was
otnittel or .neglected, for the voyage he was pre-
paring to make towards the new world, in the ,
well-stored cabin of a light frigate ; and its to his
return to our hemisphere, he left that affair, at
present, to his a',lll-t.

The arrival of the Convention of Paris, fully
ratified, may certainly be expected immediately.,
The British Ministers who have been engaged in
consummating this great work, and many of our
other distinguished Countrymen, are now on their
return from Paris.

Mr. ARBVTIVNOT is expected to-morrow or next
day ; and, from his high official situation, may
probably be the bearer of the important docu-
ment by which the Peace of. Europe is secured.
The presence of this Gentleman in Paris during
the indisposition of Lord CASTLEREAGH 111.11 St have
been ,of infinite benefit to the interests of Great
Britain in these Negociations.

This is a dies non for Foreign arrivals. We
have now two day's French Papers due, and are
without any very :ecent accounts from Germany
or Flanders.

Private letters are said to state, that a furious
persecution of the Protestants continues iii the
South of France. We have not'seen any of these
Epistles, nor if we had, would we have credited
them. There may be a civil warfare in the quar-
ter a:lntled to, in which persons of this persan-
sion are slain, but there is too little religion of
any kind in any part of France to give cause
,for a'
.contest on the score of principles, faith, or belief.
The Revolution liberalized, or We-may rather coin
a term, imjidelized men's ideas too much to leave
any ground for contest on matters of this kind.
The Jacobins of the South may call themselves
Protestants if they please, in order to excite a
sympathy in certain quarters; but the whole story
of their being massacred on the score of religion,
in France, is.one of the grossest absurdities that
was ever attempted to be imposed on mankind.—
It might as truly be told that this was a struggle be-
t ween ifusstdinOng and Wa chabites. But y our RM.)...
lutionary gentry liaviug worn all their old appella-
tions into disgrace, seem determined to assume a
better set, and if the go on in the way they have
begun, we shall shortly need a new vocabulary
and glossary of this kind--•

AdviCes were rcceited this day at the Admi-
ralty from the Cape of Good Hope, but we do
not understand that they are of any consequence.

After contradicting our statement of the re-ap-
pearance of the malignant fever at Cadiz, the
Morning Chronicle of this day contains the follow-
ing paragraph :—.

" The distemper which, by some of Our let-
ters, we really find hac, to a certain extent, been
prevailing in Cadiz, is called Fievre Catarrhal, and
its strongest symptom has been a severe cold, end-'
ing in a violent fever."
It might had added, " death."

Government yesterday received dispatches from
llalira X, by the CanSe schooner, arrived at Ports-
mouth, and with these Caine to hand New York,
Yams ta'the 7th nit. and letters From Halitax to
the 23d. It would appear by the latter, as if
some alarm had beets excited there on account of
the threateuing aspect of affairs between the Bri-
tish apd Ames leans on the Lakes. It was 'not.
known, whether it was with a view to offensive
or defensive measures, or whether it was merely
from motives of pride, that so great a straggle
was making by the English and Americans to
maintain a superiority of shipping on those
waters ; but it wss -asserted, that at no time of
the war was greater exertion made on both sides
to attain this end.' The British, it was said, gave
the first impulse, Ely hidilding and purchasing a
number of vessels to be placed on Lakes Erie 'and
Heron. The American Government iinmediately
followed the example, by collecting: numerous
shipping for the,saate stations. Governor CA,ss's
orders were, to lase no time in having the Attie-
rican shipping in readiness. ..New forts were also I
erecting wider his superintendence. One on atm
enlarged scale was to be built. immediately in the
neighbourhood of Detroit intended to command
all the country adjacent.

A tart of Biographical 'Dictionary-, entitled,
The DICTIONARY Of WEATHERCOCKS (DiCtiOn-
Haire des Giroue4tes), has lately been published in
Paris am' it mast be confessed that the tergi-
versation and inconsistency of so many revolu-
tions as have harrasstri France in our tines, have
fornish.ed ample materials for this whimsical

Witimut exhausting the subject, it stretches to
490 closely 'printed pagvs :—and, we iuu a

in the new Drama performing by our neighbours,
cannot fail to alituse the Readers of TaG SUN.

SEGUIER,

TRESIMENT ON THE COURT /10Y :LE.

Speaking of the inauguration of this Court, a
Morning Paper of yesterday says, " afforded
occasion for the display of some good specimens
of forensic oratory. The eminent lawyers (SE-
OUIER and BELLART) just mentioned, enjoy a high
reputation in France for integrity as well as for
talent. M. SEGUIER was the Judge who persisted
in refusing to BUONAPARTE the title of Emperor
(luring the late rebellion," &c.
The Dictionary of Weathercocks however, con-
tains the name of this very Mr. S;',GUIEBi vho
it states, served as an (Aker of cavalry. in the
army of Conde;, was made a 2aron of the Empire,
Comnrandant of the Legion of Honortr, and Mas-
ter of Requests, for the service extraordinaire,
named by the Emperor. Since then, he has been
made first PreSident of the Royal Court, Coun-
sellor of State, &c. by the King.
'rhe Monitear of the 24th January, 1509, con-

tains an address which he delivered to BuoNA-

PAItTE, manufactured in the most fulsome style of
flattery,. He panegyrizes • the Usurper for an-
nexing Italy and Gei many to France ; and for
seizing Spain--nicking the Pyrenees submit to
the same Power with the Rhine and Alps.
He tell 3 hint, that ha has accustomed France to
victories, to the taking of cities and of kingdoms.
When you go, says be, we kn4w you will return
with new Crowns, and they arc obtained with such
rapidity, that we have scarcely time to prepare
our felicitations. He then talks in the usual
French manner, of the Emperor's " imiense
glory," anti of the " profound admiration and de-
votion" with which it has " filled all hearts."

The Journal des Debats of flay 6, 181.1,.pre-
sents, al.,rain, another picture in a speech delivered
by M. SLGUIER to the King.

Here we have HENRY the Fourth ; the glory of
entering Paris, not as a Conqueror hut a Libera-
tor ; the heartfelt acclamations of a People who
b.ve been so long tyrannized over.—" Heaven
(quoth M. SEGUJEB), lu.es taken pity on us.—
It has marked the termination of oppression,
and restores to us the man of its choice, the

Prince according to the Law, whose mercy con-
sents to pardon all, and whose wisdom promises
to repair every evil. . We, too, Sire,, are famished
to behold one King, and by his side this Illus-
trious Orphan (Duchess of ANGOULEME), the an-
gel of consolatiOn, and brilliant example of vir-
tue." He concludes, according to the fashion of
May 1814, with allusions to ST. Louis, anathe-
mas against upstart usurpation, and effusions of
tenderness, and love, quid duty, and so forth.

All this is very amusing, but we might as well
look fur consistency during the • same period
among our own ats Opposition, as among the
Gentlemen who now figure round Louts XVIII

An Amsterdam paper of the 4th has the follow-
.ing paragraph, relative to the.exertions now mak-
ing for the recovery of the Dutch Works of Art,
&e.:—" Letters from Paris'state, that Mr. AFo-
s'root. is busily engaged in tracing out various
missing pictures, formerly removed front our
country ; end that he has already recovered about
-30 of them. The reclaiming of bookS,. prints,
&c. was at first attended with much difEculty, but proceeds successfully. MeiSrs. Jost and
IlootiEs are particularly busy in discovering the'
prints, of which more than 2,000, including those
of REMERANDT and others', . are already in the
