EMIGRANTs. A great number of
French and German emigrants, lately ar
rived in this country, are settling in War
rem county, Pennsylvania. The Warren
Gazette speaks of eighty who had arrived
in that neighbourhood last week, and sew

mand. Accordingly what was the aston
lshment of his hostess and her friends to
behold not only the captain, but his whole
company, from the highest subaltern to
the most ragged private, armed and equip
ped in their usual style, punctual to the
hour Of invitation, dry as dust and hungry

house bit his lip with yexation and the
hostess, as in duty bound went into the
hystericks. In which situation we leave
them to the sympathy of the reader.
