time, averse from representing him worse
than he really is. We therefore willingly
rectify mistake which appears to have
been made in the speech which he is said
lately to have delivered. The Boston
Palladium has given the original words
the Emperor, after declaring that the
Berlin and Milan DEGREES should continue
to be the fundamental laws of his empire,
&c. continues
g LIE sort du Commerce Americana Sc
tn bientot decide. Je le favouriserai 81
les Etats Unis sc cOnforment ses De-
crets.'
LII the translation, the word " ces" was
substituted for /" ses," so that the Empe-
ror was supposed to say, he would favor
American commerce if the United States
would conform to those DEGREES (of Berlin
and Milan instead of her DEGREES. The
translator might have been led into the
error from the novel and cavalier epithct
of DEGREES, which the emperor applies to
the Presidents proclamation and laws of
congress.
So much for candor's sake but we
consider it ofyery little consequence 1chat
Bonapartc says. We have had so many
proofs Of his treachery on the most So

A writer in Baltimore seems to be pre-
pairing tire public ii good earnest for
war with England. He considers such an
event as certain; and tells us that eve
are now three times as many as in t775;'
that we have plenty of cotton, wool, flax,
hemp, salt, sugar, spirits, lead, iron, pow
der and arms that the British West In
d;a trade would afford us most delightful
picking; with many other fine stories of
the same sort. These pleasant tempta-
items are somewhat damped. however, by
his own gloomy picture : he says:
IS. know too well that We must suffer
with her. Dreadful necessity only JUST
fics the contest. / call you not, young A
merieans, to false glory. to spoil and tri-
umph. You must lay dozen your lires,
endure defeat, loss and caplirity, as the
VARYING fate of war Ordains. But this
must not appal You. Prepare for it, with
unsubmitting spirit, renew the combat,
till your great enemy like the Whale OF
the deep, weakened with many wounds,
yields himself up prey to smaller foes
on his own element"
BY an official return, it appears that the
whole population ofthe United States IN
1910, amounted to 7,aSs,i2t OF which
the District Of Columbia contained 24,o2s.
We copy the following from the New
York Gazette of Saturday, we give it as
received, sincerely hoping it may be cor
rect.
"Tbe President of the United States is
tired of the present state OF things. He
will soon do something of decisive ma
tire. He waits with anxiety for the ar
rival If the Essex; and it is known that
he is angry at the conduct of the French
emneror. He has lost nearly all conf

confidently expected, convince the world
that the suspicious of his Partially fo,,
France are groundless. The readers Of
