I.ucien Bonaparte is settled in his new re-
sidelce near Worcester. The establishment
is about so of family. All the young Bona
parties have two servants in constant attend
ance on their person, besides cook and a
tutor. About a fortnight ago the whole fa-
mily were employed in making hay before the
house. They u ed nothing but their hands
in throwing it about and laughed at such
English people of the nighborhood who had
different customs. Lucien appears to be al
ways wrapped in thought and gloom; he
moves gracefully to such people as salute him
but never speaks. The latter may be owing
to his being almost ignorant of the English
language. Madame is agreeable and chatty !;
and very particular in making the young
part Of the family observe the strctest po-
likeness to strangers. The furniture of tile
house is an odd mixture of splendor and
nleanness; as is the dress 1.-THE family in
general. The Youngest child has SO much
gilt and glitter in It's dress that in the sam
s,ine st resembles an orb of moving FIRE Lu-

and generally walks some distance from his

Extract Of a letter from RESPECTABLE COM
mercial house in Live7fool, TO another in
this city. ...,
LIVERPOOL, Aug. %, 1911.
The speculative demand which we expo
rienced for your produce, on receipt OF intel
ligence of the affair between the Little Belt,
and President, has now entirely subsidized, and
prices, which had In consequence advanced
little, have receded to where they previous
ly were. Turpentine has been the most Hat
tering article of your produce; month ago
1t was up at l9s. a 2os. per cwt and to DAY we
cannot quote the best above SIS. The de-
mand for tar at this season of the year is very
extensive, and therefore it maintains good
prices, but when the neighboring country has
got supplied, which will be in the course OF
month or two, the price will then be regu-
lated by the Importation, or at least more so
than it lately has been. The demand tor
good and fine tobacco is Pretty regular, but
other sorts are quite neglected. Cotton has
been in better demand for the last fortnight,
and the import having become moderate we
hope prices have seen their lowest. The
weather being rather unfavorable for the har-
vest, more business has in consequence been
done in wheat and flour, though with scarce
iy any improvement in price. Slaves are still
scarce and wanted.
The king still continues very i'll and TO
hopes are entertained of his recovery and
although his son in all probability will soon
ascend the throne, yet no change In our pre-
sent commercial system is expected to result
from it, as it is said he has lately expressed
himself satisfied with the present ministers,
to whom he hada great objection on his first
entering into Office.

10 the best military situation, this i'm
portant fortress adds the strength of a
fortified place of the first order and
whenever the combined resources OF ma
ture and art, have existed, it always
proved to be impregnable. 1t is situated
in Ampurdan (principality of Catalonia)
between the lat. l2, and long. 20, so, on
the immediate frontier of France, and
commanding the only road there is on that
part of the pyreneos, for the communl-
cation of the two countries. The height
on which it stands is called '' los Capu-
chinos," and is surrounded by lofty noun
tains of solid rock, distant only a cannon
shot-the most elevated is called Avino-
net. and presents to the North West part
ofthe place its ruggid and almost perpen-
dicular front, reaching with its declivity,
the borders of the outward bitches: on
the other side the mountain though not
so steep, has a rough surface and gradu-
ally declines into deep valley-the short
distance of the circumjacent mountains,
and the nature of their soil, affords to the
place an additional advantage which few
others can boast of, that of preventing the
enemy from constructing retrenchments,
fixing batteries, or using the mine. From
the most advanced point of the covered
way of the horn works Of St. Rogue to
the same of St. Miguel, the place has one
thousand yards long, from North to
South from the most advanced point OF
tho covered way Of the horn works of st.

of Santa Tecla, it has seven hundred yards
