God bless you, shipmates, one and all,
high and low, were the last words Of
this kind but eccentric man.
Mr.. Randolph,-All accounts repre-.
sent the health Of this gentleman as
very much enfeebled by the voyage,
and especially the hot summer climate
of st. Petersburg. From accounts re-
ceived from several quarters, his in.
disposition is extreme. Some of the
letters, indeed, stated his life to be in
the greatest danger.-He was so weak
at 81. Petersburgh, that they were un-
der the necessity Of carrying him 10
the Steam boat--but when he landed
in London, he was able to walk few
steps-He arrived at London on the
morning Of the 29th September, +" in
very i'll state of health"-and it is said.
that he proposes to leave England very
soon, for the South of France-We
understood, before he left the u States,
that the Administration had authorized
him to visit the South of Europe, if the
state of his health should imperiously
require the change. provided the affairs
OF the mission would admit of his abb
sence, without prejudice to the public
service.-R. Eng.

dragged some distance before the
horse was stopped. He died immedi-

The Fayetteville, N. G. Journal says
In our Court of Pleas and Quarter Ses-
sions, which set last week, a man was
indicted and tried for phipping his
,Dife.-The assault and battery were
proven by the oath of the wife and an
other woman. The husband admitted
the battery, but justified himself on the
ground, that the wife habtually DISC
beyed his orders, and was in the viola
ton of his commands when the battery
complained Of was committed. The
Jury acquitted the observation-disclosures,
take warning!
Louis Phihpl.-We hear Of an Incl
dent which does honor to the feelings of
the present King of France. While
residing in Philadelphia, he received
civilities from the late Mr.. Willing,
and rumour says he addressed one of
his daughters without success. A
grandson OF Mr.. Willing being in Paris
during the late events, Louis Philip
not only recognized him, but insisted
on his making the Palais Royal his
residence, where he now constitutes
one OF the members of the family.
A young man about % years of age,
arrived in this Colony a short time
since, under ficticions name. He
died about fortnight ago, near Braso-
ria: on his death bed he confessed that
his real name was Frederick II. MI
son. that he was native of Virginia,
and had fled from the United States,

Lady Morgan, receives $1,000 for
her new work on the French, which is
said to be by far the most interesting
She has ever written. 1.-THE dis,in-
Buished reception she met with in the
first circles during her recent visit to
Paris, has we understand, rendered
her Journal exceedingly rich in con
versations and anecdotes of all the
most celebrated leaders of the day, in
Politics, Literature, Fine Arts, SC. :;
while her sketches Of society thrown
off on the instant, have all the fresh
ness of the living scene for which she
is known to possess so peculiar ia
