out, in the course OF il & corrects, the err
rors of men, whose erudition had sanction
et those errors, and whose character for dry
research had made them in some measure
the arb!ters, language. He traces those
errors to their source, and by arguments
simple but irresistible, EFFORTS the most
perfect and implicit assent to his own doc
trines. 1t is a work which should be read
and studied by every one, who aspres to
pure and perspicuous style, and who wish
es TO be thoroughly acquainted with the
meaning and nature of those hitherto puz-
zling but necessary parts of our language,
which grammarians have been content to
name without explaining.

The corps of marines consists of about

Eurohcan madnesS-France, in the year
1871, set about to new model her govern
ment. The italian and German states, in
Guiding Prussia, melted by the government
of England, interfered in their concerns and
threatesed, if the French people persever-
ed, to Partition their countr; as some of
the crowned monsters had just partsioned
Poland. The German and Italian states
had soldiers but no money England had
money but no soldiers. England therefore
furnished those states with money and they
sent legions into France to conquer and
partition it. The Duke of Brunswick was
the first illustrious villain employed in this
work of wrong and destruction. Justice is
sure though sometimes npt speedy. He fell
at the battle of Jena. i, His savage aud IN
famous manifesto, published when lie hos
tilely entered into the territories OF France,
is not forgotten. The war on the part Of
the combined powers was one of booty; on
the side of France Originality of defence.
His Prussian majesty, after two or three
years of impotent fighting, backed on. as
"tAg HtoS ~ VONsHS
however, by way of joke, Of three milli-
ons sterling, sent as subsidy to continue
him in'arms. His Prussian majesty pock-
eted the money and then made peace, This
was all well enough amongst such folks.
Plumber was the cement of the combination
OF crowned heads. In pocketing the three
millions the grand bitter was but bitten. !.
Now the. simple question among these
warning powers has been, ever since the
commencement of hostiIities, whether the
combined powers shall partition France, or
France, forced into the contest, shall ag-
grandize herself at the expense of the COM
bined powers and it is only answered by
France finding herselfin condition to play
the character of the master-robber.
England half bullied and half bribed the
combined powers into the war, and her a.
gents here are attempting to play the same
game with us. Their Sandman and Nea-
poitan majesties-the Emperor of Austria,
probably the King of Prussia, and certainly
some twenty or thirty Dukes and Stad-
tholders are no more 1t should seem as if
the counsel of England was death to all ma
lions that listen to it-(dmerican Gdzen.)

Extract ofa letter from Washington, dat
ed 10th inst.
The report of Yesterday, respecting
Col. Burns departure, with one thousand
men, is unfounded-Thc President menti-
oned that party of twenty had marched
to Join him, and by the time this had ira
yelled from the Presidents House to the
Capitol, it had augmented to one thousand.
1t now appears, that the Proclamation was
in advance of al Burr's parties, and that
orders had been given to seize the boats
aud prevent the junction of the different bo-
dies"
