Westminster would DC impossible, It
was the commencement Of bis public
lie, and it was fair to draw favorable
augury Of lord Percy. They knew
him to be independent, and above tenn
ptatieus to betray the rights and liber-
ties of his country, which his noble
family had ever supported. His father
had ever been a patriot, and the friend
Of that great man whose loss was so
deeply lamented. His son has before
his eyes the example of Mr.. tox,whose
conduct was model for him, as his
successor. Lord Percy would do JUS
tice to the electors, by treading in the
paths of honesty, simplicity and truth
Mr.. Witebread then read four resolu-
tons the first was 10 express the
deep regret which the meeting felt for
the death Of Mr.. Fox, and the others to
declare their intention to support lord
Percy at the approaching election. AT
ter which he proposed lord Percy, a
proposal which was received with rel
terated MARKS Of appreciation.
Mr.. Elicit seconded the motion, he
was not in the habits Of agreeing with
Mr.. Fox on many points, but he still
revered his character, and lamented his
death as much as any man could. He
was convinced that lord Percy would
be found to act up to those principles
which had distinguished his family in
the cause Of liberty.
Lord Percy returned his thanks to
the meeting, and pledged himself to
act upon these principles that had rem
dered the memory Of Mr.. Fox, 50
dear to them
The resolutions were then severalIy
put and agreed to without one dissen-
dent voice.

The struggles If Dsmocray.-The following
laughable extract Of a letter, from Con
necticut, was lately received:
NEw-HAvEN, OCTOBER 90, 1906.
g Last Wednesday the democrats assem-
bled from all parts Of the state, at this place
and Bishop came also among them After
a proper pause, he rose and addressed the
meeting on the glorious principles they held
and on the glorious prospects before them.
Having fourished away till he thought he
had prepared them for the disclosure, he
told them with a long and dismal face, that
the arrearages for supporting the democratic
cause the last year, consisting principally of
cOmpensations to editors of democratic
newspapers, expenses for pamphlets, hand
bills, distribution of them, &c &c which
he need not particularizc, amounted % the
precise sum of three thousand far htnldYef
dollars. He went on to tell them, nv way
of inducing them to follow his example, that
he had himself paid out one hundred and sen
eaty dollars and he added, he was ready ca
advance fifty more tOwOrds completing the
residue, provided others would come for
ward and subscribe their proportion. The
astOnishment and CONSERVATION was greater
than any pen can describe. One got up
and moved one thing, another another, and
the meeting got into the utmost confusion
In vain was an attempt made TO see if the
meeting would assume the debt in vain
did Bishop bawl that if they did not by
some means or other, contriye to raise this
sum, the cause of democracy must fall.
They took care to pass no vote upon the sub
ject, and thus the meeting broke UP. You
may rely on the literal truth Of what i tell
you.'-EU. Post.

ROCHEFORT SQUADRON.

Accounts are received atPhiladelphia
from st. Thomas that three French
line Of battle ships have arrived at
Martinique, part Of the squadron, which
lately sailed from Rochefort, and met
with by the fact Of Sir S. Hood. The
accounts say, they were in shattered
condition. This wrecked state could
not have resulted as a consequence Of
their being engaged with Sir. 5. Hood
the part Of the fleet which he engaged
was all captured. As these ships are
the runaways in that action, they must
have either encountered some tremen-
dous gales OF wind, or been engaged
with some other British ships, to sus-
tain the damaGe here mentioned.

HISTORICAL ANECDOTE.

Peter Peuteman was a good painter
Of still life but the most memorable
circumstance relative to this artist
was the incident that occasioned his
death.
EIe was employed to paint an emble-
matt cal picture Of mortality, expressive
Of the vanity and pleasures of this
world, and of the shortness and misery
Of human life and that he might imi-
tate some parts of his subject with
greater exacness, he painted them
in an anatomical room, where several
skeletons where suspended from the
ceiling, and skulls and bones lay scat
tired about the floor. Here he prepar-n
cd to take his designs, and either from
some previous, fatigues or from the
intenseness Of his study, insensibly fell
asleep. This was on Sept. is, 1892,
when an earthquake, that happened
while he was doing, reused HIM and
the instant that he aweke he perceived
ell the skeletons in motors and the
loose skulls rolling about the room Z
Being totally ignorant Of the cause, be
was struck with such horror that b.
threw himself down stairs, and tumbl7d
outito the streethaIf dead His friends
took all imaginable pains to eface 1he
impression made on his mind by this
unlucky event explaining the true
cause Of agiratien the skeletons ner-

Through the Politenes Of a gentle
man, who came to town last evening,
from New-York, lin the Jound) we
have been favored with the Mercantile
Advertiser, Of Dec. j, which is two
days later than the Mail
The foreign advices, contained in
this paper, are one day later, (London,
Oct. lO) than the accounts we have
previously received, from that quarter /:
and those not materially interesting.
They briefly state, that the Ministers
deny the report Of Lord Lauderdale's
having been ordered to quit Paris !;
they sad that he applied for his pass
ports, IN consequence Of the French
government rejecting or evading the
terms on which he was instructed to
insist. After considerable difficulty,
his Lordship obtained his passports,
* was 70 SCI Of. tronl Paris on The OH.
That the Glide frigate had stood over
to Bologna 70 wait for his lordship !;
who might be expected to reach that
place on the lth, or IL, at farthest.
That the rupture ofthe Negotiation
had created an unusal and unexpected
sensation on the public mind that the
mail-coachmen, on communicating the
intelligence as they passed through the
Village, were cheered by the inhabi-
tants with shouts of applause and
the general cry was, " Eternal qvar,
rather than dishonora5Ee Peace.''
That a heavy firing was heard from
the French coast supposed to pro-
coed from an attempt of the British
cruisers to set fire to the fotilla, by
means Ofrockcts Of an enormous size,
discharged from vessels Of light
draught ofwater, upon the principle of
shells thrown by mortar battery.

Some Of the democratic prints take
great but unnecessary pains to make
the people believe" There are IN our
country men 7vho hrefer a n1oHarchicat TO
a REPUBLICAN farm Of government" The
people must be stupid indeed, not TO
believe this, when they see how many
men there are who rejoice in every
success Of the Monarch BoNAPARTE !;
and WHO cease not praying cOntlnu-
ally for the extension Of bis dominion !:
and who repose confidence in those
who obey his mandates, communicated
through the medium Of his Minister
Turreau, as obsequiously, and as IN
stantly, as do the Project Of his home
department, the Landamman Of Sq0it-
zerland or the Hceroy of Ltaly, his vas
sails. Seeing this who can doubt there
are many men in the United States
who wish well K. monarchy and despo-
