This admirable compendium of eonsum-
mate political wisdom, from their best friend,
conveyed in style truly parental, should
render it an inestima5lc treasure to every true
American as it must, if acted upon, have
been an infallible guide to national honor and
prosperity.
The sons of Greece were animated to he.

bia are more powerfully excited by the glo-

the exercise Of the duties of the christian and
the citizen.
1t is much to be lamented that this pre-

and guide of every American citizen, and
that it has become 50 scarce. To supply this
defect, and to introduce it into general no.
tee at this important crisis, the present saie

LONDON. May 20.
The Prince Of Wales Packet, Captain
Macon. arrived Yesterday morning at Har-
wich. from Anholt; the mail was put up
on Sunday at Yarmouth. BY the .passen-
gers we learn. that the feet under. the
command of Sir J. Saumarez, remains at
Wingo Sound. that the boats crew. of one
OF the ships that went ashore for sand, and
we're made prisoners, have been released,
in consequence Of Sir James sending a flag
cf truce to demand them. The cargo of the
Prussian ships detained at Carlshan have
been unloaded and carried up the country.
A demand has been made for the restituti-
on Of such part as IS British property. and
should the Swedes res;stthis demand, it is
generally thought. that hostilities will COM
mence; qae fact is certain. that about sixty
or seventy ,bullocks., were on their way to
the sea coast, for the suppl of our ships.
and which was stopped by. order of the Pc
lice.. and not suffered to proceed. Il. i,
Paris papers. to the ;2lst inst. have been
received in,tcwn;- The contents continue to
be without much importance, except that we
are informed in them Of the arrival of 10
seph ,BonapaE,e at Paris--with his depar-
ture FROM Spain, we were before acGGaint-
ed. AS he had thought It advisable to come
"in person" from the Peninsula, so he is
said TO have gone s in person"to congra-
tulate Bonaparte on the birth of his son.
The acknowledged presence of this fugitive
in Paris. must Tend to give the French a
clearer notion Of the late events in the .coun.
try from whence he has fled. than any thing
they will read in their own papers.
