from this place, where the English army
are encamped, and where their feet
lav. | had the honor of carrying down
Major Woodruf, (of the United States

Jackson to the English commander, Gen.
Lambert. We went down in 10 cared
barge, and had several respectable young
gentlemen of this city with us and
a band of music furnished BY them. We
arrived at Dauphin Island in three DAYS,
and anchored abreast of their camp about
o'clock in the afternoon and fired sa-
lutte, while the band played our favorite
tunes of Hail Columbia and Tankpe
Doodle. The shore was lined with hun.
dreds of Englishmen, cheering over and
over, as they knew by the fag at our
mast head, that we brought them the
welcome news of Peace. We remained
on the Island three days, and we're
treated with every mark of attention e.
respect by all of them & then proceeded
on to Mobile to inform our army there Of
the news of Peace. On our return we
stopped again at Dauphin Island and
took several English officers on board &
brou Git them up to the town. All these
officers have the greatest desire to see
this city and our lines on the battle
ground, where we beat them so hand.

it, which they took in good humor. and
they candidly acknowledged, that they
had fought many hard Battles in France.
Spain, &c. but never met with such
play as they received from US Yankees .,
After their retreat from before New.
Orleans, they landed on Dauphin Island.

TIE Bourbons. We have been much

III
TIE Bourbons. We have been much
surprised, to perceive how little symra-
thy has been discovered in the United
States for this unfortunate family: from
the commencement of the French revolul
ton to the present time, with few excep-
tons, the fate of the Bourbons, so far
from exciting sympathy among us. has
produced exultation in proportion as they
have been unfortunate, and moltifca-
ton in proportion to their good fortune.
Louis XVI, had been denominated by the
constituted authorities, 8 our great and
good ally !" the nation accorded in sem
timent with the government, and yet
when the jacobin-cut Threats, murdered
this unfortunate monarch, no sympathy
was expressed in America, and to the
disgrace of the country, on the great
road leading from Philadelphia to Balti-
more, an Inn.keeper for. months bad as
sign, the unfortunate Queen of France
beheaded; the man (if we may so call
the monastery was not an American, nor
was he Freedman, but an import
ted patriot.
When Louis the XVIII, was placed
on the throne of his ancestors, itnever
can be forgotten, the deep modification
which the democratic party discovered
upon the occasion, but they had an excuse;
s. they did not hate Louis, they" did
not love Napoleon, but we were at war
with England; Napolean was the ene-
my OF England, aud Louis the triend,"
AL that, wa, very well, but we should
like to know, how it happens that the
feelings of that party are now the same,
as respect Louis and Napoleon! In pri-
yate worth there certainly can be no
comparison the amiable Louis, has me-
yer insultel our government, and the
whole nation--he has not issued orders,
and DEGREES for the destruction of our
commerce, or seized it whenever, and
wherever, it suited his views; the high
seas, his ports, or the ports of neu-
trails have not been the scenes of devasta-
ton and plumber by his order; during
the short time he was on his throne, he
discovered no hostility towards our coun-
try. Can this be said Of BonapalteP
We answer that it cannot. And vet it
is strange to perceive how much satisfac-
ton is discovered,in the prospect of Ma
poleon's again ascending the throne of
France.
