THE DUKE D'ENGHTEN.

(mom A PARIS PAPER.)--...L0U1S XVIII.
learned at the same moment the death of the
Duke n'ENOUEIN and that the Order of the
Golden Fleece had been conferred upon BuosA-
PARTE. HIS MAJESTY instantly returned his de-
coration of the Order, the investiture of which
he had received, being a French Prince, to
CHARLES IV., with the following letter:—
" Sire, Sir and dear Cousin,—lt is with regret that I return
you the insignia of the Order of the Golden Fleece, which his
Majesty, your Father, of glorious memory, confided to me
there can exist nothing in common between me and the great
criminal whom audacity and fortune have placed upon my
Throne, which he has had the barbarity to stain with the pure
blood of a Bourbon, the Duke d'Enghien.
" Religion teaches me to pardon an assassin ; but the tyrant
of my subjects ought always to be my enemy.
" Providence, *mu inscrutable motives, may ordain that I
shall end my days in exile ; but neither my contemporaries nor
posterity shall ever, even to my last breath, say, that in the
hour of adversity, I shewed myself unworthy of occupying the
Throne of my ancestors."

Madame CATALANI goes to Brighten for the
purpose of sea bathing for a few weeks. Expecta-
tion is anxious for the exertion of her musical
talents at that place ; and she then is, it seems,
to proceed upon an extensive musical tour in
England and Scotland, accompanied by Mr. PIO
CIANCHETTINI, who recently returned from Italy,
as the conductor of all her Provincial Concerts.
GRATIFYING IMPROVEMENT IN THE TRADE OF
ScomAND.—The general trade of the west of
Scotland is going favourably on. The Cotton
mills are briskeriust now than they have been
for a considerable time. The manufactures car-
ried on in the country towns are (Whig well ; the
Wool manufacturers in Stewarton and Kilmar-
nock are in good spirits, and the work people are
at present more comfortable in their circum-
stances than they have been since
owto Chronicle.)
FIRM FOOTING IN AMERICA.--A traveller, on
his return from the state of Ohio, where he had
been to buy a farm in that " land of milk and
honey," gave this account of the state of
promise :—Sir, as I was driving my team, I
observed a hat in the path : I reached with my
whip stick to take it up from the mud. "What
are you doing with my hat ?" cried a voice under
it. I soon discovered under the chapeau a
brother emigrant, up to the ears in the mire.
—" Pray let me help you out," said 1.--
" Thank you," said the bemired traveller," " I
have a good long-legged horse under me, who has
carried me through worse sloughs than this ;
am only stopping to breath my nag, as this is
the firmest footing I have found in fifty miles!"
The election for Physician td Westminster

The venerable relic of antiquity, the l3urgate
at Canterbury, is destined soon to disappear, and
already the turret is nearly demolished. The
removal of this ancient gateway is in consequence
of some modern improvements intended to be
made on the spot.
Saturday last a horse, the property of Mr. We-
bber, of Sydney Wharf, was seized with a At of
apoplexy, and although prompt assistance was
rendered, it died on Sunday. On dissection,
two substances, each as large as an egg, were
discovered formed in the lobes of the brai❑ ; the
substances had become- so large as to interrupt
the functions of that important organs they are
in the possession of Mr. Maggs, in the Saw-close,

LINES
SUGGESTED EV THE SIGHT OF SOME LATE AUTU

FLOWEIIS.
Those few pale autumn flowers,
How beautiful they are
Than all that went befOre,
Than all the summer store;
How lovelier far !

And why ?—They are the last !
The last ! the last ! the last !
Oh ! by that little word,
How many thoughts are stirr'd
That sister of the past !

Pale flowers ! pale perishing powers
Ye're types of precious things ;
Types of those bitter moments,
That flit like life's enjoyments,
On rapid, rapid wings.

Last hours with parting dear ones,
(That time the fastest spends),
Last tears in silence shed,
Last words half tittered,
Last looks of dying friends.

Who but would fain compress
A life into a day,
The last day spent with one
Who, ere the morrow's sun.
Must leave us, and for aye

Oh, precious, precious moments !
Pale flowers ! ye're types of those ;
The saddest ! sweetest ! dearest !
Because, like those, the nearest
To an eternal close.

P ale flowers ! pale perishing flowers !
I woo your gentle breath-,.
I leave the summer rose
For younger blither brows ;
Tell me of change and death.
