Another letter, dated MAY %, saws.
Besides the known disagreements in our
imperial family, between his majesty Ma
poleon and his brother citizen Lucien Bo-
naparte, his imperial higbness, prince Lou
is Bonaparte, has narrowly escaped an af.
iaIr OF honor With citizen Beauharnois,
brother 10 her imperial highness, the prin-
cess Fanny de Beauharnois, consort Ia
prince l outs. This quarrel originatedin
the discomfort of citizen Beauharnois,
who, though his mother was saIuted an
empress, his father decreed an emperor,
MS sister made princess, and his bro.
'her-in law an imperial prince, and a con-
stable OF the empire, in the same day he
received neither rank nor promotion, but
SIMPLY an annuity of lOo, 600 Hvres Cocoon
IN the month, until he can be better proyi-
ded Tor. In the challenge to prince Louis,
citizen Beauharnois said that he was a
Wscount, when his imperial hiehness was
only sans cuiohe and that he possessed
property to the amount of GO, 600 rvres
IN the year, when the whole imperial Bo-
naparte family together did not possess
an acre Of land or cottage.
Cit. Flahault, son to the puiIIotined
count de FlahauIt, aid-de-camp to his inn
PerIal highness prince Louis, carried this
letter TO his majesty, the emperor Napole-
on who ordered the field marshal, citizen
Mnrat, to put citizen Beauharnois under
arrest; who notwithstanding the interfer-
ence OF her imperial majesty, Josephine,
MS mother, he has been exiled, az some
say, TO the army on the coast; or as o.
thers pretend, to join the remainder of
The disgraced Bonapartes, at Rome.
We have just received the news bv
the Ielegraphe that the consulta Of the
l'ahan republic had elected the ci devaot
hrst consul, and their c-devant president
az present, our emperor, his majesty Ma
Poleon Their hereditary king of Lombardy.

very ingenuoufy acknowledged, / fllall leave il
to MIR. Randolph himfef to explain.
This folitary fadI if there were no Others os a

the variance between the original lit, which
was made ont by the martial, and the IN which
was produced in open court, and which was
publithed in Mr.. Randolph's Vindication, in
1902. This Jingle fad would be fuficient to
prove that there had been this trsnfpoftion of
names, by which the few ca5oble Democrat
who were placed ON the panel were thrown
back ON it, beyond the reach of the kgql on,ra1,.

TO ALL CUSTOMERS ARREARS.
We have heard no proclamation for a
year orjabiiee, in which no debts are to be
paid. And though the silence of DOR
debtors nigh, lead us to suppose such an
event had taken place, our creditors are
continually reminding us of the contrary.
Besides, friends, they make us pay for our
bread and butter more than ever. Flour
that was 2Ss. is now SOS. hundred, and
butter is raised from Is. to 2$4. per lb.
Still the twelve shillngs for our paper, is
only an hundred and fifty cents yet, and
that wont buy decent load OF wood.
And we tell our landlord, too, that you
don't pay us, but he charges as much rent
as though you were never so punclual.
As Cor the paper-maker, he swears he
would not give shilling for an hundred
dollars not paid, or AN hundred aud fifty
that we cant get. And our good friends
at the bank are such admirers Of ppnetu-
atty that fifty ne-rt qceeks wont paw the dis
count on forty dollars--TU call again don't
pass with these gentlemen. The coun.
trymen, also, wont take Wait fzv davs,
Ihove no change, for bushel Of potatoes,
n single chicken, or stick of hick0ry-
and the hills are white around us, while
we SILVER to think of it. Yet the money
comes slower than ever, and dollar is as
great rarity TO printers eye as rain
less review at Ciaverack. II would seem
as If we lived in land Of jironuSe--hut
promises without performance are like

perisheth, or flowers without honey, upon
