COMMUNE CATION

Departed this life OH the llth instant,
At his sea, in Fairfax county, alter short
illness, Mr.. THOMAS BLAckBuRN. son
of Col. Blackburn, late OF Prince WI
liam. In the character Of this amlable
man we're blended the mild majesty OF
private life and all the charms OF vlrtu
Gus friendship. Ardent aud enterprlz
ing. he early cvinced taste for MILITARY
life, and left the sHectionate protection
of his fathers family to share in the no.
nors of the tented field, where be distin
guished himself as valiant and inteili'
gent officer. After serving his country
several years with great credit. he left
the army and engaged in agricultural
pursuits. highly interesting to him, and
which he followed with great industry.
To an intelligent and vigorous mind, pc.
lished BY attlinments from classic lore,
he added an independent and benevolent
disposition, yielding to the impulse ct
generous feelings easily awakened to
oilers woes! But when danger i'm.
pended, or duty called for manly exer.
ton, no man was more prompt than him.
Brave, liberal and honorable, he knew no
othcr emotions, thar those excited by
magnanimi,y and honor But alas
what do these qualifications avail ! They
fade in the spring of lite like the bloom
ing rose, and the silent tomb receives In.
to its bosom early virtues inviting to
never-fading Joy. His loss is truly dis.
tre.sing-the last son Of highly re.
spectacle family, in the prime of life,
leaving an sffectionate wife and children,
an aged and loving mother, and sisters
attached TO him by the most interesting
and tender ties Of nature, whose feelings
deserve a generous sympathy, In the
course of human events, few families
have been more unfortunate in the death
Of amiable & affectionate relatives, than
his. the recollection of whose virtues the
memory yet retains. Bu, the measure
of their misfortunes is not yet full. The
God of nature, in his infinite wisdom, Of,
ten selects the virtuous and good as the
objects of bis dispensations, and endows
them with his wisdom to bear with
Christian resignation the events of his
unerring Providence and there are not
many more distinguished for piety,
meekness, and that wisdom, than the
affec.ionate relatives of our lost friend,
and none who more piously submit 10 the
doing Of his divine will

The late adrices from Europe.

In our last Postscriptum we an
nounced the arrival in Gloucester OF
late papers from France. We have
since perused Gle of the Moniteur
to the 22d July.
The French official paper of the
a2d. in simple paragraph stated,
that the armistice had been prolong'
ed to the middle Of August.
On the subject of the talked OF
congress at Prague, we find. that
only on the 22a Jnly was it announc.
ed, that Caulincourt and Narbonna
had been appointed Plenipotentiaries
on the part Of France; and that one
Of the Russian Priyy Councillors
had been chosen a Plenipotentiary,
on the part of Alexander. and had
arrived in Prague. But the Monl-
teur hints. that the delay Of the
meeting Of this congress is not
chargeable Oh France. In the mean
time the French grand army was
not only receiving continual and
powerful rcinforcements ; but i'm
mense Notifications were erecting on
every part Of his line OF demarkation !;
and all the corps of the army were
placed in the most efficient state OF
service.-What was doing on the
side of the allies. of course, we do
not expect to find in the French pa
pers.
What part Austria would take
remained uncertain. Not an opinion
on the subject had been offered in
the M0niteur.-:rhe Austrian prime
minister, it was true, had gone to
Dresden, and had frequent confe-
renees with Bass ano and the result
was daily sent off to the emperor
Francis, who remained in Bohemia.
But no boastings were made OF the
friendship Of Austria, as we find Of
ten to be Of the kings and princes of
the confederation Of the Rhine. 1t
is an interesting fact. that austria
has two powerful armies in full pre-
paration in Bohemia, and her south
ern provinces. And the Paris pa
pers vauut on the rapidity and
strength with which tive large armies
of observation have been formed,
one in Bavaria, and the other in the
Italian states What object can the
French armies have in view, it 1t is
not to watch these Austrian armies !;
and if Napoleon was not jealous OF
Austria, would be thus watch her ar
mics /!
1t does not appear that there had
been any conferences between the
Imperial crowned heads, though they
were in the vicinity of each ether.

After the reading of the report, the Coun-
sellers of state presented two plans OF Sc
natus Cohsultum, (see herewith the session
of Sd ApriD and the Cosnt Defermont ex-
planned the motives of the first Of the
plans in the following manner.
My Lords, Senators, you have heard the
communications which MS Majesty has or
dered to be made to you; actual cjrcum-
stances make an augmentation Of our mill
tary establishment indispensable ; this is the
object Of the Senatus Consultum which we
are ordered 20 present to you.
If we ought to regret the detection Of an
ally, yet it is better to see him openly in the
ranks of an enemy, than to be exposed to
his daily treasons. The disposable forces OF
Prussia are not such that the empire cannot
make her repent of entering again the lists
against her; but you know, gentlemen, that
we must, when we desire peace, obtain it
by successes which may guarantee its dura-
ton, and to obtain this end we must employ
at once great means rather than exhaust
ourselves by degrees ~ feeble efforts.
The FIRST section OF the plan forces at the
disposition of the Minister Of war 10000
men TO he added to the armies in actual ser.
e.-Nine;y thousand men taken from the
CONSUMPTION Of 1914, The levy OF which l1av-
ing been already authorised, only experience
Ninety thousand men must be raised COM
formally to the dispositions Of the I'd & Sd
sections Of the plan
The detection Of Prussia may increase the
number OF our enemies from so 10 100, OO(
men, and it is also proper and necessary &c
increase in the same proportion the army Of
The empire.
The second sectiou creates four regiments
Of house guard, Of honor, to the number o.
10000.
The departments have requested the for
nation Of companies Of body guards. This
