Yellow Stone Expedition. Prepare
tons TO render this expedition powerful
and imposing, are going forward 10 every
part Of the country. Troops are march
ing for ST. Louis from Plattsburgh, from
Detroit and various other quarters. The
symptoms of hostility which have been
exhibited by some Of the Indians, have
determined the government to send such a
number Of men as will render opposition
fruitless and strike lasting dread into the
men ofthe forest. 1t is probable that 900
or 1000 men win ascend the river, a
large portion of whom will return as soon
as Notifications shall have been erected
capable Of resisting, with small force,
any attack which may be apprehended at
that distance in the wilderness. With
these troops will ascend three or four
steam boats, laden with provisions, arms
and ammunition.

LETTER FROM MR.. ADAMS,
On Mtemberance.
Quincy. Feb. 81

Quincy, Feb. 81.
DEAR SIR thank you for your adj.
dress to the New Bedford Auxiliary So
ciety for the suppression of Intemperance,
which have read with pleasure and edi-
fication. 1t abounds in ingenuity and in
formation. II is eloquent and pathetic, it
is pious and virtuous-it addresses itself
to the understanding and the heart.
A drunkard is the most selfish being in
the universe. He has 20 sense OF modesty
shame or disgrace he has no sense Of
duty, or sympathy of affection with his
father or mother, his brother or sister, bis
friend or neighbor, his wife or children,
no reverence for his God; no sense of
futurity in this world OF the other; all is
swallowed up in the mad selfish JOY of the
moment.
Is it not humiiiating, that Mahometans
and Hindoos should put TO shame the
whole Christian world, by their superior
examples of temperance ?--Is it not de-
grading to Englishmen and Americans
that they are SO infinitely exceeded by the
French in this cardinal virtue And is ii
not notifying beyon all expression, that
we Americans should exceed all other
eight millions of people on the globe, as
verify believe we do, in this degrading,
beastly vice Of iDtemperance | am sir,
your obedient friend and humble servant,
JOHN ADAMS.

The King, by a Royal Ordinance pub
lished this day, has appointed So new
members of the Chamber OF Peers. The
first is our cousin the Marshal Duke
d'Albufera [Suchet OF the others are
the following well known characters Of
the revolution -
Marshals Money, Lefebre, Davoust,
Jourdan and Moriier; Counts Laparede,
Chaptal, Latour, Maubourg, Truguet,
Lacepede, aud Portals; Dukes of Galore,
and Of Plaisance, (LebruD); AID. Yer

Many other reyolutionists are added;
but the residue are ancient Mobiles and

PARIS, March 8.
On the 9th inst. the Chamber of Peers
was on the point Of becoming the theatre
of serious commotion. nj. de Lamoig-
non had the temerity to ascend the tribune
for the purpose of protesting against the
recent Royal Ordinance. Fortunately
the prudence of the Chancellor put an end
to the embarrassing question, by adjourn
ing the sitting before the conclusion of the
speech of M. de Lamoignon. 1t is affirm
cd, that several Peers had even grasped
their swords; but | doubt, however, that
things went SO far.
Count Lamoignon made, on Saturday
last, most extraordinary proposition in
the House of Peers, which was rejected
by both parties, with sentiments of sur
prise and indignation, as an unprecedented
encroachment on the Royal authority
This Peer, (who enjoys an unimpeached
reputation for probity and loyalty. and
who in Bonaparte's time withdrew into
the country, and never filled any public
functions, proposed 10 the Upper House
to address the King, to declare the regret
with which their Chamber viewed the
nomination of SO many Strangers, and to
request his Majesty not TO mistake the sen.
timents and devouement Of the ancient
Peers. Universal cries Of disapprobation
Interrupted the orator; the President said
he could not listen TO such uDconstitution-
al language, and many Peers waited on
the Minister Of the Interior, in quitting
the House, to request him not TO suffer the
journals to publish any account OF it.

1t is not possible for any language ade.

amidst hues of liveliest purple the isles
and continents of Greece present their va
ried features, nor pens, nor pencil, can
portray the scenery. Whatever, in the

towering cliffs of Patmos, gliding the bat.

for two or three years, but whose utility
was considerably arrested by an uniortu

his last. In moment of illtemperaatf,
as he stood by the piece OF artillery wniqa

body was raised few feet in the air D,

without uttering one word that was hear
