JAMES MoNRoE.-Greati interest is de-
servedly felt, in all that relates to this
venerable patriot. We learn with great
regret, that his health was deeply affect
ed by the several domestic Affections
with which he has been visited. His
family have collec ected around him, and IL
nited in the effort to remove him from
the late scene of his distress. We UNI
derstand that he has it in contemplation
to spend the winter in this city, where we
feel assured he will realize the sympa-
thies of large circle offricnds, and best
wishes of our inhabitants for his health
and happincss.-.E Y. Courier.

man in Paris writes to his friend in Bos-
ton, that a deputation offivc distinguished
citizens of Bordeaux, three Of whom were
Protestants, had solicited the King of the
French that archbishop Cheycrus should
be restored tothc peerage, and it was en-
pected the request would be compiled
with. This information, iftruc, and we
have no doubt ofit) is another proof that
principles and not men, direct the move
ments ofthe prominent leaders in France.
