BONAPARTE.

ANECDOTE.--44 Count Dana was Intendant-Gene-
ral of the Army at Boulogne. One morning the
EMPEROR called him into his closet. DAM/ found
him walking about the room in a rage, and only
breaking silence 'oy short and violent exclamations—
" What a Navy!—What an Admiral!—What sacri-
fices lost !—M y hopes are disappointed!—That Ville-
neuve, instead of being in the Channel, he is gone
into Ferrol !—lt is all over! he will be blockaded "
there!—Da RU, sit you down; listen to me and wine."
The EMPEROR had that morning received the pews
of Srit.t.cw mitre's arrival in a Spanish port. He im-
mediately perceived that his plan for the conquest
of England was rendered abortive. The immense
expenses of the fleet and the flotilla were now for a
long time thrown away—perhaps for ever. Then,
in the midst of an excess of passion, which would
have rendered other men incapable of exercising the
understanding, he adopted a resolution of the boldest
nature, and sketched off-hand one of the most ad-
mirable plans of campaign which had ever been con-
ceivedin calmness and deliberation by any conqueror.
Without hesitating, without pausing, he dictated the
whole plan of the campaign of Austerlitz, the depar-
ture of the different corps of troops stationed from
Hanover and Holland to the western and southern
confines of France, the order and duration of the
marches, the points of convergence and junction of the
columns, the attacks by surprise and main force, the
different movements of the enemy : everything was
foreseen; and under every hypothesis victory was as-
sured. Such was the correctness and astonishing
foresight of this plan, that on a line of departure ex-
tending over 200 leagues, lines of operation of 300
leagues of length were followed according to this
first direction, day by day, and league by league, all
the way to Munich. Beyond that Capital the dates
alone underwent some alteration; but all the points
were reached, and the whole tithe plan was crowned
with complete success. Stich was the military talent
of that man, as formidable to his enemies by the
power of his genius, as to his fellow-citizens by the
force of his despotism."—M.Dupas Voyages dans le

Cannot; TO Mansmias.—Greater care than usual
is now requisite in steering vessels along the coast of
Scotland, as the Beacon, which was lately erected and
lighted by subscription, and the utility of which was
cdvocated by many skilful pilots, bas been damaged,
past reparation, by the Fifeshire winds!
Flan. Lovi.--Laa week was married, at St. John's 1
Chinch, Chester, Mr. RODIRT M samta, of Ilenburn- 1
bridge, near that town, to Miss Jams* Moan's, of
Chester. The pasties should have been married 36
years ago. The bridegroom has since been married,
and had 18 children by the first wife. He had not
seen his present wife for thirty-five years before Mon-
day se'nnight, when be met her at Chester, and mar-
ried her the following morning.
PLymoirris, 00roasa 11.—Wednesday, was bu-
ried at Egg Buckland, in this County, Mrs. Ann
Stuttaford, the relict of Mr. Stuttaford, of that Parish,
aged eighty-eight. Her funeral was attended by
S 2 of her kindred; the corpse was borne to the grave
by eight of her grandsons, one from each line; sup-
ported by eight grand-daughters; one from each
line ; the corpse was preceded by eight grand. daugh-
ters, the two first carrying in their arms two great-
grandchildren. Two twin daughters of the deceased
followed the corpe, as chief mourners; then came the
daughters of the deceased, with their husbands, lead-
ing three great-grandchildren, !allowed by the sons
with their wives, and the rest followed according to
the relationship they held with the deceased. The
grand-daughters intend erecting a monument to her
memory.

Yesterday Consols left off at 77% 78, and opened
this morning at 77% 34. They are' not quite so
brisk as yesterday, but money being plentiful, the

being the first day of the Bank paying the dividends,
the different offices connected with that department
were crowded at an early hour this morning

We said yesterday that the increased consumption
of malt and spiritous liquors, occasioned by the Co..
ronation, during the last Quarter, would, we doubted
not, sufficiently account for the increased produce of
the Excise Duties in the same period. From the ad-
ditional Tables which we lay before our Readers to-
day, they will find this view of the matter fully con-
-1 firmed. The increase in the Duties on Beer, Malt,

and British and Foreign Spirits,stakes atone et 16.5.128,
being within £32.077 of the total increase in the
department of Excise.
I The Paris Papers of Wednesday arrived this fore-
noon. They are quite barren of newt--even of new
rumours. There have been two trials in the Court
of Assizes for libels on the KING, but with a pru-
dence which reminds us of the old saying of " axe
'cagily things better in France 1" the Papers have not
been allowed to repeat the libels by way of reporting
the trials. Where the proceedings in the two cases
bail been narrated, there appears a long blank, closed,
however, by two very satisfactory lines—" The Juries
having decided in the negative on the question re-
(erred to them, the accused were pronounced to be
Acnurrezn." The new King of SARDINIA is said
to have at length made his appearance in the capital
of his dominions. ' He entered Turin on the 4th inst.

markable rise. On Tuesday the Five per Cents.

ber they were at 87 fr. 70 c.
