A NEW MADE KING.

y life of dissipation at Paris, and was much in the habit of irequenting the theatres, and other public places of a. musement. He had formed an intim;r cy with some young authors at that time in vogue for their wit and reckless gaie- ty. On the evening after his noraifia- ton to the crown of Westphalia, he met two of his josial companions just as he was leaving the theatre. ssMy dear fellows, said he, sl am delighted to sec you. lsuppose you know l have been created king of Westphalia?" sYes, sire, and permit us 10 be among the first to- eEh! what! you are ceremoni- ous methinks: that might pass, were surrounded by my court; but at pres ent, away with form, and let's have the same friendship, the same free aud easy gaiety as before,--and now let's be of to supper.8-Jerome, upon this took his friends to one of the best ressQura- testr in the PalaIs Royal. The trio cl,at- ted and laughed, and said ard did thousand of those foolish things which ! when unpremediiated, arc 50 delightful. Conversation, it may be supposed, was not kept up without drinking. When the wine began to take effect, ssMy good friends, said Jerome, why should we quit each other? If you approve of my proposal, you shall accompany me. you, C., shall be my secretary; as for you P--, you are fond of books, l ap- point you my llbrarian.p The arrange ment was accepted, and instantly ratif- ed over fresh bottle of champaigne. Atlast the party began to think of re- tiring, and called for the bill. Jerome produced his purse; but the king of l Westphalia, whose royal treasury had not as yet been established on regular footing, could find only two louis, which formed buta small portion of two hundred francs, the amount of the res- taurateur's demand. The new dignita- ries, by clubbing their worldly wealth, could muster about three francs. What was to be done? At one o'clock in the morning, where was resources to be found ]? It was at last, deemed expedi- ent to send for the master of the house. and to acquaint him how matters stood. He seemed to take the frolic in good part, sifid merely requested to know the names of the gentlemen who had done him the honor to sup at his house. "l am secretary to the king of Vest I phaii;s. And l librarian to his slis,- jesty."
 sExcellentw cried the restaurateur. who now set his customers down as sharpers,-.and that noodle wonder is no doubt the king of Westphalia him. self?'' Precisely, said Jerome, Fl am the king of Westphalia. SsGentlemen, you are pleased to be facetious, but we shall see presently how the commissary of police will relish the ioke.s nEor heavens saker' exclaimed Jerome, who began to dislike the aspect of the af. fair, s1make no noise, since you doubt us, ] leave you my watch, which is worth ten times the amount of your bill;'' at the same time giving the hosr 2 magnificent watch, which had been a present from Napoleon, and on the back of which was the emperor's cy- pher in brilliants. The friends were then allowed to leave the house. On examining the watch, the restaurateur concluded that it had been stolen, and teck # to the commissary of police. The latter, recognizing the imperial cypher, ran with 1t to the prefecf, the prefect to the minister of the interior. and the minister to the emperor, who was at Saint Cloud. The result of tue whole was, that, on the following morning. the Monitcur contained an ordinance. in which the king of Westphalia was en- joined to repair to his government forth with; and prohibited from ccpferring a- ny appointment till his arrival inhis capital!
 We understand the intruders at the gold mines have been removed by the military. But 1t is probable they will return unless the troops are stationed there. We have not learnt whether they will be. They arc greatly needed on the Tennessee frontier, where new mines have lately been discovered. and where not less than two hundred arc employed in collecting the precious metal. Besides those on the mines there are intruderssnugl lysettling nearly on the whole extent of the frontier.
