". see late letter Of Joseph Bounaparte's.
,,,.s.ed to the editor Of one Of the Paris pa
complaining Of his exclusion from France
S,or,,.ng sentiments Of the most ardent attach
.n, N that country, Sc. &c. This is not the
-, If these sort Of letters from the eI King
-, o., have seen, and his pertinacity in. hover.
y. around the borders Of the country in which
-. evident all his hopes are conferred, may be
natural; but il does not elevate his eharac-
=, our estimation. Time has proved that the
.a,,l enioyments Of his delightful retreat at Boz
,,,,oxn possess no charms for him. The fasci.
.,,;0os Of court, and crowns are more attractive
Than the occupations incident to the life OF an
,,,rsan farmer. The habit Of governing, ae-
,;,sJ under the drrc ton Of bis brother, has
h,,0me second nature, and he appears to lind
:, impO.sible to settle himself down to the dull
,,,Ii,ie, Of life. divested Of power and shorn Of
,dyepti,ious rank aud dignity.
Yesterday was a warm day in Philadelphia.
We shall be able, perhaps, to communicate the
,.,oIt Of the election in tomorrow's paper.
1t i, thought the usual supply Of stock will be
,sD, 10 the eastern markets from Kentucky this
alI. Hogs are said TO be very plenty there; but
they will start unusually late, owing to the scar
,,y Of old corn-they will have to be fattened
% the new crop.
The election throughout the State Of Mary
land took place on Monday. We received no
BALTIMORE American yesterday, and therefore
cannot give to. day the result 10 that city. 10
Prince Georges, We understand, Stoddert ran
hotter against Jenifer for Congress than was ex-
D,cted. Tomorrow we shall be able to give
some Of thsNreturns.
We mentioned few days since the rumor OF
further squab6ie, in the Cabinet. By an extract
from the Baltimore Patriot in to days paper, it
will be seen that the same report prevails in that
city, and puts on a more serious aspect than we
had supposed it to wear.
In 40 article copied Yesterday into our paper
from Maine paper, it was stated that Mr.. Mer'
ram, Deputy Postmaster. Of Camden, Maine.
and another Postmaster, had been arrested and
placed under bonds for their appearance to an
,~es 70 charge Of having purloined letter con-
,,,oins money, from the Mail. We learn, that
Mr.. Merriam has been discharged, snd moreo-
yer, tia, he s.snds acquitted Of all suspicion OF
anv iaproper conduct in The discharge oil his du-
ties, and that the letter supposed to have been
stolen has arrived safe at its place OF destination
We are happy a, being able to make tins corree'
.ioo Of the statement IN the Maine paper.
Up The communication Of :" A Mechanic"
will be inserted in our next
The Globe copies all the remarks OF the slang
uhangsrs against the Bank. but they are most
lamentably deficient in spirit and originality
They are worse than "a thrice told tale, vexing
,he dull ears Of drowsy man."
Mr. John Quincy Adams receives from many
Of the public presses in Massachusetts,, the sever.
est eastigations. He is now the Anti. Masonic
candidate for Governor Of that ancient and res
peetabIe commonwealth, and, this fact exposes
him to all the weapons Of his adversaries, who
show very little or no respect to the recollection
Of his former elevated situation as President OF the
United States.
Mr.. Kendall denies, under his own name, IN
The Globe that he Is or ever was concerned IN
spseula,ing in the stock Of the Bank OF the Un'-
ted States. lie concludes his letter by the
usual PEAS Of GLoay to General Jackson.
The Springfield Gazette states that John
RObb, Esq. late chief clerk in the War Depart
Dsnt. Washington, i, appointed superintendent
Of the U. s. Aruory 10 that town.
Strenuous exertions are about to be made IN
New York to prevent the repeal. BY the Legis-
ia,ure Of that State, Of the law aSolisbins ,mPri
