FROM THE AURORA.
The Paris Argus of the 5th May, con-

The Paris Argus OF the 5th May, con-
tain the following paragraph:
/" We have received American papers to
the7.h March, which contain the speech Of
the new president, MIR. Madison, when he
took the oath of office in the chamber of the
house of representatives. Our readers
will perceive from the extract which we
copy from that discourse, that Mr.. Madison
appears to follow the footsteps ofhis prede-
cessor. He complains bitterly of the ruin
Gus effects of the maritime war upon the
commerce of the United States: these COM
plants evidently fall upon the first authors
of the oatrages upon Neutral flags. We
must, as we have over and over said, and
as the whole experience of half a century
proves, trace the cause Of the war and all
the I'M uries complained Of by neutra!s, in
the monopolizing.and tyrannical system Of
the English: that monopoly and that tyran-
ny are the monsters against which France
has combated, almost, alone, for the last
fifteen years, at its own cost, although for
the good of all nations. We are persuaded
that thenew president will be supported in
his system, by the great majority Of the
American people, and by those merchants,
who are more attached to the honor, inde-
pendence and permanent interests OF their
consry, than to the ePhcmeral profits OF an
odious seifishness."

LONGEVITY.

There died in Feb. 1905, at Gloves, near
Athenry, in Ireland, of a short illness, Den
mis- Coroobee, of Ballendangin, aged III
years. The life of this man was remark "a
bic not only for its duration, but for its ex--
emption from most of the evils Of humane
ty. He retained his mental and corporsa
faculties in full vigor to the last Three
weeks before his death, he walked oiit and
home &c miles in one day, and read the
smallest print without glasses, as distinctly
and easily as hoy of sixteen. T9sdags
previous to his death, he never rem nlilsred
to have had any complaint or sickness Nhst-
ever, tooth-ache excepted. The hsi IS
years Of his life passed entirely free from
even the tooth ache having enJoyed5still
then sound teeth. After that period, his
teeth began to decay but, IN the course OF
Is year, a new set appeared CT which ne
continued in possession till his death. :
Of his moral character, it is only record
ed, that he was steadfastly an honest man
sober, gular. and perfectly upright in his
department.. His mind was naturally strong
and acute, not disciplined by literary edu-
cation. but enriched BY observation and ex-
|perience. He spent his life in the cultiva-
ton 81 the same farm, the property of
which he acquired in early life, and bent
his attention chiefly to agriculture, in which
he was generally allowed to be eminently
.prohcient. He was one OF the earliest who
introduced & propag gated the poaioe, which
.he@cultivated for the last seventy years.
He was seven times married. He was
first married at the age of q. With his
last wife who survived him, he lived longer
than with any of the previous ones, ihat, is,

had, taken together, amounted to II. All
the children born to him were 48, which is
on an average, ! one for every two years,
since the first year Of his marriage. He had
three sets Of twins and his third wife bore
him II children in 10 years.

which is little more than FIVE to each child.
His great grand children amounted to 944,
which is more proportionally, than6 to each

SUMMARY.

Bvthe declaration of the French einpe-
ror, concerning Bavaria, it is evidently his
determination to augmen. the territory and
power of Bavaria, and place that monarchy
in position so formidable, as to form a pc
tent barrier to the confederation Of the Rhine
very probably the Danube will be the
boundary of Bavaria il the: east, and a new
kingdom may be constituted out Of part of
LowsrAA ustria, Austria, Carinsha arrnola,
and Syria, with Dalmatia and stfla i is.
very probable that Bohemia, Moravia, Po-i
.lish Gallicia, and Austrian Sllesia, will be
taken from the infatuated hovsssofs Lorraine,
and if Francis bezpermitled to sretain the
Kingdom Of Hungary It will be wholly oav-
Ing TO the policy or ma nanimity of the con-
queror. Very probably Poland may be re-
suscitated, and Saxony remunerated iorthe
duchy of Warsaw in Bohemia, Moravia or
Silssia or the kingdom Of Westphalia
united with Holland, and Jerome placed on
the throne of Bohemia and Moravia.
The emperor of Russia had required the
assemblage of congress at Yassy, in Mol
davia, to whom he has declared his deter
mination to retain under his authority the
countries bordering on the left of the Da-
nube, which had been SO long the source of
quarrels with the Turks. The minister of
the Porte at Yassy opposed the occupation,
and set Oft tor Constantinople, but a power
tul Russian force had already come in aid
OF the determination.

seriptlon the Jews were obliged to furnish
