M. Warden remonstrated, and represented to flan Presidea
his long and useful services. Bat rain vain. The en'nduct ofths;
supreme chief of the republic was; the more extriordinarren
that occasion, as it was M. Warden whO, wring a visit to
3loncelo, the country seat. of Jefferson, *as instrumental in
effecting a reconciliation between hirn and Monroe, and thus
opened to the latter the road to the I'sresideney:ll. Warden
nught have repaired to Washington,-4aCeeiding to M. Galli-
tin's rdvice, and obtained his reinstatement through the in-
fluence of his numerous friends in the Government and Con-
gress; but he had too much confidence in the justice of his
case not to expect that the President would seize the ear-
liest opportunity of making good the wrong he had done
him. He was, however, deceived in his expectation.
though deprived of his official character, Mr. Warden still
continued the real representative of the United States in
Paris.

"After his retirement from public life, he gratuitously
devoted one-half of his time to his countrymen, and b 7 his
acquaintance with many of the most distinguished political
and scientific men in France and Europe, he was able to
render them' important services. The American citizens,
residing in Paris, conscious of the great advantage which a
man so conversant with the languages, literature, sciences,
arts, manners, and policy of European nations, would prove
to their country, repeatedly called the attention of the
government to him, and the illustrious Jefferson, who ap-
preciated his capacity as a public functionary, and his
private qualities, never ceased, until the hour ot his death,
to recommend him to the favour of the Administration.
4‘ In hit retreat, M. Warden, ever animated with the desire
of being useful to his countrymen, published several works
on America, which had considerable success. His work on
the Origin, Nature, and Influence of Consular Establish-
ments' (1 vol., Bvo., Paris, 1313) was translated into different
languages, and a celebrated English jurist, Mr. John Chittie,
embodied it almost entirely in his ' Treatise on the Laws of
Commerce and Manufactures' (4 vols., Bvo., London. 1824).
M. Warden's Statistical, Historical; and Political Descrip-
tion of the United States of America' (the English edition,
3 vols., Bvo., Edinburgh, 1819—the French edition, 5 vols.,
Bfvo., Pa:is, 1820), afl'oided Europe a more perfect idea of the
American States, than all the preceding and subsequent pub-
lications.

in the work with equal care and talent, and the general plan
was co well conceived that the celebrated Laplace recom-
mended it as a model for a similar statistical description of
France. That publication opened to M. Warden the gates of
the Institute of France, in 1825. The Royal Academy of
Science elected him corresponding member, by a majority of
35 to 15, in the room of Captain Freycinet, who had become
a titular member.
"Mr. Warden next undertook to write the Chronological
History of the two Americas, from the earliest period down to
the present time, for the completion of the celebrated work of
the Benedictines (L'Art de ve,ffier les dates), who had alto-
gether Omitted the history of the new world. The publica-
tion of that work, of which ten volumes have appeared, was
interrupted last year by the demise of the Marquis de Fortis,
its editor.

"M. Warden translated into English a number of lite-
rary and scientific memoirs, and the introduction to the
Tables of Logarithms of Callett (Paris, 1809). He like-
wise furnished many articles for dictionaries and reviews,
and completed a highly interesting memoir on " The An-
tiquities of America," which was inserted in the great
work on the Ruins of Palenque. He was a member
of the Society for the Encouragement of National In-
dustry; of the Philomathic, Philotechnic, Annatic, Geo-
graphical, Agricultural, and Antiquarian Societies of Paris;
of the Societies of Natural History and Antiquities of Caen;
of the Royal Academy of Nancy; of the Society of Agri-
culture and Sciences of the Eure ; of the Philosophical
Societies of New York and Philadelphia; of the Historical
Society of Belfast, in Ireland; of the Royal Antiquarian
Society of Copenhagen ; Doctor of the Medical Faculty of
New York, &c., &c. The Corporation of New York pre-
sented him some years ago, as a testimony of its considera-
tion, with a copy of the splendid work on the canals of
the State, executed at the expense of the city—an honour
which he shared with J. Adams, Jefferson, C. Carroll, Madi-
son, Monroe, J. Q. Adams, and General Lafayette."

FEATHERED QUADRUPED.—An egg was hatched
last Saturday, and r a hen, the property of Mr. William
Barsby, Bunker's-hill, the produce of which was a chicken
with four legs, two of which are in the usual place, while the
supernumeraries, as if ashamed of their own ridiculous selves,
endeavour to conceal themselves under the tail—we are
forced to add with very indifferent success. And yet they
are not a bad pair of legs, complete in every particular—
claws, legs, and thighs to match ; and certainly, if it had
only these, no chicken need be astiarned of its locomotive en-
dowment. Nor do these const t e the only singularity at-
tached to this winged quadruped ; we are arvred by its
owner that it has actually managed to return from " that
bourne" wherefrom, according to Will Shakspere, "no tra-
veller returns." But then the poet never calculated on such
extraordinary pedestrian facilities; with four legs it would
be a pity if a chicken could not accomplish a little more than
its relations can, who are compelled to put up with two. The
fact is, that on Sunday last, Mr. Barsby locked up the pro-
digy with its mother, in an upper room, during his temporary
absence from home; but on his return, found it, to his great
concern and disappointment,lyingepartfrom its maternal pa-
rent and the rest of the feathered family on the cold plaster floor.
If ever a chicken appeared dead, that did ; it was handled by
numerous visitants, whom curiosity impelled to the place, and
their unanimous verdict was, that it was as dead as a door
sail. Its owner, deeply lamenting its untimely end, threw
it upon a shelf, where it lay for some time, until fetched
down again by female curiosity. Mrs. Barsby. not having
previously inspected the phenomenon to her entire satisfac-
tion, repaired to the chamber of death, and proceeded to com-
pletethe examination ; but had not held the deceased in her
womanof Ihelt
hand long, before :it all at once exhibited undoubted
the symptomsgood
sujaprsisiifngsheeisrie,noumustasinnAce
through the floor." This latter event, however, did not ensue,
as it happened ; the chicken progressed rapidly in its course
to full animation, and was so far advanced towards perfect
convalescence by Sunday night, as to feel itself quite ade-
quate :to the performance of numerous small chirps. We
can assure our readers the illustrious bird is now in very
likely circumstances; we have been favour,d with a per-
sonal inspection of it, and can cheerfully bear witness in a
court of justice, if required, to the fact that the surprising
creature, legs and al4 is alive,
and kicking.—Nottingham
