NEW YORK, July IL.
The arrival of the ship Harmony, from
Swansea, brings London papers one day la.
ter, but they cont ain no further news than
has been already noted.
Passenae r in the Harmony is said to
have brought with him but mi.laid Y a
London paper Of so late date as 18th June,
containing the important intelligence OF the
death OF Napoleon at st. Helena, ard that
an attack had been made by the american
squadron an tie Mediterranean upon the
III, kish fleet.
II may, however, well be doubled whether
either article is Correct.
The British papers received by most Of
the late arrivals. profess To communicate the
latest news of 9oDaparte :; but no intelligence
gwen by them teaches as lar down as that
received here by vessels which touched at
ST. Helena late as the 18th Aprii when
The Elk Emperor was reported to be in good
health.
One of the late English papers stated that
in the latter end of March Bonsparte was
said TO be in q dangerous situation, and that
1t was Intended, should his death take place,
that his body should be embeI,ned aud carried
10 England, to show to the world that no
foul play had been resorted to. Should the
account OF the Harmony prove 70 be correct
1t is to be hoped, for the sake of humanity,
that the statement last alluded TO not
prophetic and preparatory introduction TO a

Bucks county Bank.--Somc alarm exist.
ed last week relative to the afIass OF the
Farmers Bank of Bucks county. The caus-
ca of this NAV be gathered from the following
statement Of what are believed to be
facts.
On Saturday, the 3Gth Juae, The president
Of the bank was arrested in Pbi!aoelpbis. and
bound over 60 answer the charge Of conspi-
ring, with Otherss, to destroy the sloop Nor.
folk az sea, with intent to defraud The insu~
Ters.
On Monday he was removal by the direct
ors from the presidency, and James Moon
was appointed president, pro tenn. in his
room On Tuesday the run upon the bank
was very great, and the directors, { who
since Sunday had been intently engaged in
an examination into the situation OF the
bank, thought proper to close Its doors and
stop payment OF its notes. On "wednesday
the notes of the bank were said to be at a
discount OF rs per cent. in Philadelphia.
From this statement it is apparent that
there was reasonable ground Of apprehension,
but it is confidently believed, from strict
examination made by The directors, that the
bank is not only able to pay ell its notes,
but that after their payment It's capital stock
will be nearly or quite unimpaired. The dis
rectors have given the most solemn atsuraD.
ces Of its soivency to all enquirers, and from
their high standing and responsibility, as
men of wealth and character, no doubt can
be entertained OF the correctness Of the state.
nents they have made tie delay Of payment
will not, tits believed, exceed thirty days
it will, therefore, be folly in the holder Of
note to take cent less for it than the a.
mount calls for. The directors intend az
soon as practicable 10 publish a statement Of
their affairs for the information Of the pub.
tic.
With respect to the horrible cbargs a.
gsinst him, the late president has not been
quite fairly treated by the editors Of newsps.
pefs: in slI tits taken for granted tbst be is
guilty. IL re, therefore, only fair TO say that
as respectable men as we have in our country
who have beard the evidence against him.
and also what he has to slIege in his defence,
frmly believe not only that he is innocent Of
The crime imputed to him, but that he will be
able TO make j. nsnif,st to tie world

and wholesome doctrine, and written in an
easy and elegant STYLE. After enumeEatng
the causes which led to the American revolu-
ton, and depicting the services and suferings
of our departed heroes and statesmen, and the
mtrepidity and DISTINGUISHED bravery of our
fathers, who risked and sacrificed their proper
ty and lives in defence of their rights and lib
critics, that they might transmit to posterity
happy country unshackled by tyranny, Mr..
Stebbins gave general view of the progress
of mankind in the requirement of the knowl-
edge of their rights and brief notice of the
principal eras in the history of freedom-begin-
ming at the fall of the Roman empire, when,
Christianity was making gradual advances on
the ruins of Paganism, and noticing the alb
Ject condition of man during the dark ages
He next treated of the improvement effected
by the Reformation on the political state of
mankind of the consequent jealousy produc-
ed in the sovereigns of Europe, and their at
tempts to restrain the progress of civil and re-
igIous liberty, which induced our forefathers
to seek refuge in this then western wilder
ness After stating the causes which had
contributed to bring this country to its pres
ent prosperous condition, he compared our civ
il and religious institutions withthose of foreign
countries, and pointed out the course best cal
culated to perpetuate our liberties. He incul-
Gated the doctrine, that government is the
property of the people, and not the people the
property of the government and, therefore,
that it was incumbent on all to enlghten the
community, and to- effect reformation in NOR
ais. This was to be done, not from the pulpit
and the bench merely, but by the private con-
duct of every citizen.
The company afterwards returned in process.
sion to partake of a collation., at which conyiy-
iality and good feelings prevailed, and nume-
rous patriotick sentiments and songs were
drank. Communicated.

READING ROOM

A room of this description has lately
been opened in this town, in the cham
Der over the Bookstore of Mr.. Truns-
bull. The plan upon which it is pro-
Jected is, that it shall contain consider
able number Of the Newspapers printed
In the United States, periodical publica-
tlons of the greatest celebrity in this
country and Great-Britain, and sucll
popular pamphlets, and works of light
literature as are objects of general in
terest and amusement. From this plan,
1t is evident that such an undertaking,
II put upon a liberal footing and
properly conducted, must he productive
OF important beneficial effects. For the
small price of single uezgspoper, any
one may be furnished with a pleasant
place OF resort, to spend his moments of
leisure, where he may gather informa.
ton from all parts of the country, and
obtain access to such publications of
popular cast, as be would not otherwise
meetwith, or think of purchasing. Stran--
gers who are joumeying in pursuit Of
health or pleasure, will be enabled TO
combine pleasant literary relaxation with
the objects of their journey and thus be
tempted TO visit place holding out SUCK
allurements. A point of association will
be formed in this way, between our own
citizens and gentlemen from abroad e.
qualify agreeable to both. Supplement-
airy to these considerations, are taste
for literature and habits of reading which
such al place is calculated to form and
cherish; since in this, as every thing
else, we may expect the force of exam.
pie to become powerfully operative.
The present subscription is very
small, and barely sufficient to warrant
the hazard of an experiment., 1t will
depend upon the publick spirit and lib
erality of individuals TO decide whether
the undertaking shall be successful, or
languish, and finally become extinct.
For the credit Of the town, we hope the
latter will not be its fate. The subscrip-
ton price is foe dollars year Persons
DESTROYS of subscribing may do it at the
room; and all are at liberty to call and
see it. l. N.
N. B.-The proprietors of the .Massa-
chusetts Spy have generously rendered.
for the room, the gratuitous use of
number of the papers, they obtain
in exchange.

We are desired by friend to state
this fact--that he has exposed Their
mometer to the rays of summer sun,
and that he has obscured that instru-
ment by the means of an umbrella; that
he finds difference Of between thir-
teen and seventeen degrees in tempera-
ture, according to the quality of the
umbrella. The convenience and the
almost indispensable necessity of those
sun shaders becomes, therefore, appar-
