L'AITIW STATES.

THE FLORIDAS.
BOSTON, MAY 213.—We have thrown some spe-
culative observations on this subjea on many for-
mer occzysions, presuming on the great intimacy be-
tween England and the Junta, that previous to the
dissolution of the latter, they would bequeath to
their British friends East and West Florida : as yet
we know nothing to the contrary.
But the report now is, that this colony has been
ceded to France by CHARLES the IVth, previous to
his having been dethroned--probably along with
Louisiana.

It is further added, that Frenchmen in the United
States, ready and willing, are invited by the French
Government to resort to the Floridas, where they
will receive portions of land gratis : further, that
several accepted the invitation, and passed on to their
place of destination. And furthermore, that an
Ametican Gentleman, like many others, had been
not long since with the Governor of East Florida,
to procure grants of lands, &c. ; and that he was in-
formed by his Excellency, that be was only loam
tenens, keeping possession till a French Governor

had arrived ; and that in the mean time he could do
nothing—that heretofore lie held it for the old King,
and as Spain now fell into other hands, he felt it his
duty to comply with the orders of the King of
Spain.

If all this be true, and not at all improbable, we
are in a great way. We are placed exactly in the
gulph stream—between Scylla and ClwrybJis—be-
tween the British and French, who will have it al-
ways in their power to intercept the.commerce and
destroy the f►ee intercourse between the United
States and West Indies —(August a Citron.) •
YEW-YORK, MAY lg.—Yesterday arrived at this
port the fast sailing brig Camilla, Capt. SHALER,
from St. Sebastian's, which port she left on the tith
of April.
Mr. JOHN Gutswot.n came out in the Camilla,
bearer of dispatches from General ARMSTRONG to
our Government.

Gen. DOMOTIZR had been appointed by the Em-
peror, Minister to the United States. It was not
known whether he was to succeed Gen. TURREAU,
or that he is appointed to some special mission. He
had taken passage in the Francis, with the Russian
Minister, and was to,sail from Rochelle for Phila-
delphia about the I oth of April.
Gen. ARMSTRONG had talten up the ship Sally,
Capt SCOTT, lying at St. Sebastians, to take him-
self and family to America. He would embark
from Bordeaux about the Ist of June. The Sally
was to proceed to Bordoux proteaed by twd pass-
ports. _ _ _

We consider the report, that BUQNAPARTE has
invited General IViokaw to return: tp France, as
one of. the idle rumours of the day. NAPOLEON'S
jealousy of a rival is not so easily removed. Besides
which, he did not want him—he has now more war
instruments than work for them. General MOREAU
is domesticating latuself in this country. In ad-
dition to the purchase of estates, he has accepted the
Vice-Presidency a a Benevolent Institution' in New
York.

The trench Minister RRRALT, 1, learn,
visit this town before his return to Fiance.

TRAVEILINO, ANECDOTES OP
.BUONAPARTE.---
BUOMAPARTR, during his last journey, did not allow
his new wife more rest than what he himself took;
scarcely was she. arrived into a town, that he com-
pelled her, however tired, to get in a barouche, and
to visit with him fortifications, dock-yards, basons,
canals, &c. There is hardly any doubt that he
will ere long make her leap ditches with him, was
she even to break her neck in_tlyitexrcise„as did
Genelal BERTRAND. It is thus that man strews his
love. Among other instances, in Dunk)rk, .where
be arrived at one o'clock., P. M. he hastened to get
into a barouche with her, and visited, always With
her, all the works in, the harbour and on the forti-
fications, till half-past six:.in the. evening ; she was
then compelled to hear part of.the speeches of rite
different authorities*; and at nine o'closzk at night.,
after allowing her one hour for dinner r:nd
dressing, he sent 'her to assist at a fide, whi,h
the town had prepared in her honour. • - Such, is
nearly every day the life of that •3oung Princess.—,
NAroLsoN did not assist at the-fete pre:pared for
him by the City of Bruges, but, as usual, he sent
there the Empress, who, by the amenity of her man-
ners, made the good Flemish people forget her hus-
band's- unpoliteness. She-gave 6000 frOcs to the
poor of the town. On entering the Cathedral, she
could not, although in Co iTpany with her stern hus-
band, avoid kneeling with the utmost cO::tkition by
the mouldering bones of herancestors, the ancient
Sovereigns of those countries, whose tombs have
been broken by the Revolutionists. The fiagtneuts
have been since, gathered in that Cathedral, and
BUONAPARTE, no doubt, by way Of expiation for
the crimes of his former friends, has given2l2,Oco
francs to repair those repositories of departed great-
ness.. The Bishop olGust4Y, in conaratulriiing the
new Empress on her marriage with dapot.g‘m, said
to her, among other things—" Associated as you
are to the destinies of w Emperor, h,se glory is.
more vast than t: e empire is extensive, you appear
among us in the Spring, that smilng-,Aurora of
the yeir, adorned like it with
,youth and graces, and
nature strews you!' footsteps with flower. I's '.Who
can say, after that isample of maioty, that F emish
Roman Catholic Bishops are nut gallant ? His Lord-
ship 01 GHENT highly deserves to be tuad4 Poet
Laureat to BuONAPARWS.
