We translate thc following address of the French

Electors OF France, from the Supplement- to tho

"GENrLEMEN: Preparatory assemblies are takinc

the different candidates for the deputaton; the dav
OF election will, also, arrive and YOU will meet
in order TO give Deputies TO France We imagine,
gentlemen, that should be contorminr to YOUR
feelings by asking of you cause these different
meetings to result profiably for the Polish cause
1t is not necessary for US TO explain to tho flower
Irclitcl of the French nation the right which our
Polish breth en- possess 10 affection. 1t il tho
desire of all in Franco who are the friends OF honor
and their country, to seize every opportunity OF
showing TO the world our admiration of Poland and
our wishes for her triumph. BY this strong chain.
the Committee has reckoned your co-operation
They propose to you TO open subscriptions the pro
duce of which shall be destined TO aid the cause OF
the Polish heroes, in the dreadful contest which
they are waging so goriously. 1t will not be use-
less tc unite with the nomination of mon who are
about to give Constitution to France, an action
serviceable to that generous nation. who are con-

THE EAGLE.

The beautiful description and character Of the
American eagle, given below, is from the pedestri
Gus tour of Estwick Evans, Esq.
''Whilst in the Missouri territory, aud not far
from the banks of the river, bald eagle perchcd
upon tall and blasted oak, attracted my attention
1t was in the forenoon, and ne viewed the sun with
an unblinking eye. Whilst 1 was admiring the
strength of his form, and the majesty of his aspect
wild turkey flew from neighboring tree, and
lighted on the ground. The eagle Immediately
bounced upon his prey; but ere he could effect mis-
object, the turkey shot. / might too have
killed the eagle. but admiration and awe prevented
mo. felt he was the emblem and inspiration of
my country; and at that moment / would not for
Ten thousand worlds like ours, have cut featbe;
from his wing. There is something wonderfully
impressive IN the nature of this bird; and it is not
surprising that the Romans were devoted to it.
When quite lad, MORALLY wounded an eagIe,
supposing IT to be hawk. II was a half hour be-
fore it died. and during this time my heart was FILL
ed with mingled emotions of regret and awe. /
feit as though wore witnessing the last m oncnts
OF some meritorious hero, who had fallen upon the
hills of has fame. This noble bird fixed his ewes
upon me, and without single blink. supported the
pangs OF death with all the grandeur of forttude
could not endure his aspect, sirunk into my
own lnsisnihcancs, and have ever since been sen.
sIbie OF my own inferiority.'

Various letters have been received here from
Petersburg, and other places nearer Southampton
detailing the ruirors ia circulation relative to the
instruction IN that county. II appears from the
best Information, that number of negroes, chief.
ly runaways, combined Sunday for the pur-
pose OF plumber. That they plundered several
houses and committed some murders before their
ca ~ others, they proceeded to Jerusalem bridge
in consiuesab;s force, where they were met by
few militia hastily assembled who repuised tie
blacks and drove ta2m back, killing their lead
or, and several others, ans, taking prisoners.
The blacks became dispiritod ai.er this afR,irsnd
various parties OF tiien were attacked. and kill
ied, taken, or routed by tho militia Four mill
t;amen In one instance, fell in with party of
twenty odd negroes, whom they attacked and Killed
81 wounded como, and took others prisoners And
in all the affairs the whites have not lost man
There is therefore cause fer the slightes;
alarm. but it was necessary TO send sufficient
force 10 the spot 10 the country and secure
all the misguided wrctches who have taken part in
this instruction Such torco is now the spot,
and we shall soon hear of the apprehension OF al
the negroes concerned.
