fever was ravaging that city. From the
a7d to the 2sth of january two hundred
and fifteen persons had fallen, victims
to it, and the fetal number of deaths in
the month of January amounted to six
hundred and twenty nine: The town of
Uberlingen in Suabia, was alse visited
with dreadful calamity. The streets

totally disappeared. II was expected
every mement, that the whole town

Napoleon conquered the emperor Alex
apder.
If, in order to FIX the destiny of Swe-
den, procuring for her present security
s. future guarantee, your majesty shoald
cause your armies to meve, you will not
certsinly. have in view to conquer, pro-
yinces, which are of ne advantage to the
prospsrityef the peninssla of Scandinavia.
The Independence of that peninsula is
The constant object of the cares of your
majesty, and no sacrifice can appear
great to the Swedes for the purpose Of
attaining so great and important result.
Your majesty refused to sign the I'M
worthy treaty that was proposed to you
and discussing low and crooked mea-
sures Of policy, resoiutely appealed to-
the courage, isyalty, patriotism and no.
nor of the nation. Your majesty
formed inst opinion of the Swedes, and
they, in return, con6de with perfect con-
6dencs in your wisdom,
II is now long time since the state
has been like vessel bufstted by the
winds in tempestuous seas, and on the
brink OF perdition, but your majesty,
like skiful pilot, seized the helm, and
assisted by your amiable son, had the
good fortune to lead her safe into the
haven, Notwithstanding the rocks and
shoals you encountered in your course.
Let this image serve 10 encourage those
persons who, uncertain Of their destiny,
do not receive, without anxiety, the
news of the least adversely, and imagine
that they only came into the world 10
enjoy TRANQUILITY the sonveniences ofliis.
Your majesty promised liberty to the
Swedes, snd must fulfil your promise.
Both the poor in their cottages, and the
wealthy in their palaces, shall enjoy this
inestimabie blessing. Never will the
power of arbitrary authority be felt, and
the law vii! by night and by day ssrve
as a safe guard to the inhabitants. Proud
Of their immunities, * attached to their
sovereign, the Swedes will fly to meet
the enemy. The memory Of their illus.
trious ancestors, and the business of
their cause, are sure pledges of future
advantages.

THE CYPRESS WREATH.
O lady, swine no wreath for me,
Or twins it of the cypress tree
Teo lively glsw the lilies light,
This vanished holly's ell tso bright,
The May-hswer and the egIantine
May shade brew less sad than mine:
But, lady, weave no wreath for nae,
Or weave it OF the cypress tree!
Let dimpled Mirth his temples Irvine
With tsndrsls Of the laughing vine;
The manly oak, the pensive ysw,
To patris, and to sage be due;
Ths myrtle bsugh bids lovers live,
But that Matilda will not give
Then, lady, twins no wroath fer rae,
Or twine it Of the cypress tree /!
Lot merry England proudly rear
Her blanded roses bought so dear;
Let Albion bind her bonnst blue
With health * hare-bell dipped in dew;
On favored Erin's crest be seen
The flower she loves of emerald green,
But, lady, twine no wreath for me,
Or twine it Of the cypress tree.
Strike the wild harp, while maids
prepare
The ivy meet for minstrels hair;
And, while his crown of laurel leaves
WITH bloody hand tho victor ceavcs,
Let the loud trump his triumph tell;
But when you hear the passing bell,
Then, lady, twinc wreath for me,
And twiIe it Of the cypress tree.
Yes! twine 70, ME tho cypress bough;
But, O Matilda, Irvine not nov
Stay Till few brief months are past,
And have locked and loved my las,
When villagers my shroad bestrsw
With pansiss, rosemary, and rue
Then, lady, weave wreath for me,
And weave it OF the cypress trss.

LOUIS XVIII, sc. sc.
TIE moment is at length arrived,when
Divine Providence appears ready to
break in pieces the instrument Of his
wrath. The usurper of the throne Of ST.
Louis, the devastator of Europe, expe-
riencvs reverses in his turn. Shall they
have no other effec, but THAI of sggrs-,
yating the ealanities OF France-and
yill she not dare to overturn oh odious
power, no longer protected by the iIlu-
sion of victory? What prejudices, or
what fears, can now prevent her from
tl,rswing herself into the arms Of her
king; and from ecognizing in the esta-
6!isnneni of his legitimate authority, the
only pledge of union, peace and bappi-
ness, which his promises have so often
guaranteed TO bis oppressed suhjacts
Being neither able, nor inclined to
s5;ain, out by their efforts, that throne
which his rights and their affection can
alone confirm, what wishes Should be ad
verse to those which he has invariably
entertained? what doSbt Can be started
with regard to his psternal intentions
The king has said in>his preceding de-
elars1ions, and ho reiterates the assu-
RANGES that tho administration and judi
cial bodies shall DO maintained In the
plsnitude Of their powers that he Will
preserve their places TO those who at
present hold them, aud who shall take
the path of fidelity to him; that the tri-
bunals, depositaries OF the laws, shall
prohibit all prosecutions bearing rela-
ton 10 those unhappy times ct WHICH hlss
return will have forever sealed the obli'
Won; that in fine, the code polluted by
he name Of Napoleon, but which, for the
most part, contains only the ancient err
chances and customs of the realm: shall
remain in force, with the exception OF
enactments contrary to the doctrines Of
religion, which, as we'll as the liberty OF
The peopls, has long besn subject to the
caprice of the tyrant.

men SO Justly distinguished ter their Ia
Tents, and when SO many services may
render illustrious in the eyes OF France
and postsrity-shat body, whose utility
and importance can never DO duly APP

it fail to perceive the glorious destiny
which summons it, to become the first
instrument of that great benstactlon
which will prove the most solid, as we'll
az the most honorable guarastee OF lis
existence and its prerogatives!
On the subject ofproperty, the king,
who Gas already announced his intention
