We extract the following interesting pa
per from Mr.. Lewis Goldsmith's History
of the Cabinet of Bonaparte.
Secret Treaty Of Tilsh.x
Art 1. Russia to take possession Of
Turkey in Europe, and to pursue her con-
quests in Asia as far as she thinks proper:
Q. The dynasty of the Bourbons in Spain
and of the Braganza family shall cease to
exist prince OF the blood of Bonaparte' s
family shall be invested with the crown of
those kingdoms.
s. The temporal authority Of the pope to
cease, and Rome and her dependencies to
be annexed to the kingdom of Italy.
4. Russia engages to assist France with
her marine for the conquest of Gibraltar.
s. The towns in Africa, such as Tuni.,
Algiers, &c. to be taken possession of BY
the French, and at q general peace, all con-
quests which might have been made by the
French in Africa during the war, are to be
given as indemni.ies to the king of Sardinia
and Sicily.
6. Malta to be possessed blythe French,
and no peace ever 10 be made with England
Il l. -, / Ill
Z. Egypt also is to be occupied by the
French.
8. Vessels belonging to the following
powers only. shall be permitted TO navigate
in the Mcditerranean, viz. French, Rus
sian, Spanish and Italian all others are to
be excluded
8. Denmark to be Unidentified in the
north of Germany, and by the Hanse towns,
provided she consents to give up her feet
to France.T
10, Their maiesties 81 Russia & France
will endeavor to come to some arrangement
that no power shall in fA,ure be permitted
to send merchant ships to SEA, unless they
have certain number Of ships of war.t
This treaty was signed by prince Koura.
kin and prince Talleyrana."
*The public cannot cxpec, from me- that
should inform them how, & by what means
l was put in possession Of his important CO.
cument, however, In that quarter, where it
was necessary to substantiate my assertion
by proof, have found no hesitation in doing
it. J.. q,
See my last publication, in which there
are some fcts relative to the intentions Of
France, with respect to the Danish feet; and
must mere observe, that whilst. Bonaparte
was thus holding out to Denmark indemni
ties to the North of Germany, Murat was
sent in mission to the king Of Sweden, who
was then in Pomerania, offering Norway to
his Swedish majesty, if he would make
peace with France.
By such an arrangement the ports Of
Prussia, Mecklenberg, Gutenberg the Hanse
towns, and several others, must be governed
by some of the leading maratims powers Of
Europe.
Goldsmith was eight years in Paris, and
much of the time in Office.

traduced in the independent American, in
some miserable doggrel rhymes, intended
to honor his memory. We are surprised
that Mr.. Leakin, the editor of that paper,
should have been SC inattentive as to have
admitted such trash.

Very pathetic indeed. The musquetrv

denccs of rejoicing than mourning no cpl
tibet of solemrity being applied to them.-

Where the cold sod Was newly rals'd around
Metho'tI stray'd, when 10 :. Almlra came
10 vent her sorrows DER this earthly
mound, &c
In note to the word Ahmira the author
SAYS that "the Christian name of the de-
ceased not being known h. has ventured to
make free with that of dlmira.'
/" She pressed the sod, to heaven she cast her
eyes,
And all the rest was utter'd in her sighs.'
Ill., rest is easily understood, ard IS

serves much applause. Ia what strong

A question is put where none was Intend

but is without truth. We had hitherto sup
posed it of some importance who are our
friends and relatives, and whether we die
by the gallows or old age.
" Nor sink in courage in that destin'd hour
Probably the poet meant, nor shrink thro'

fusing sdmittance, than offend all his rea-
ders by offering such matter for perusal.-

and ought to turn his attention to something
else.

Thunder Storms.-In many parts Of the
country there have of late been frequent
and heavy storms, attended with lightning,
and unusual falls of rain. These tdenonse-

atmosphere We breathe in, and which would
otherwise supply food for innumerable d.
seases, and even occasion death itself and
though their appearance is sometimes aw-
ful and frequently alarming to the eye OF
reason and reflection, they must be acknow-
lodged among the best favors bestoWed on
man by bene6cent Providence.
