Fatal Salute by an american Frigate.-A
correspondent Of the London True Sun. on-
der date Of Paris, May 9TH, says" A d'sas-
tro.s catastronhe has occurred at TOnIOn.-l
On firing her saiue d'artiiisrie with the French
shins. in honor of Louis Philips frte, the U.
| States American frigate fred with ball into
the French frigate LIE Suffren, by which un-
rdonable neglect one man belonging 10 tne
latter vessel was cut in twain, Two mortaliy'
and four grievOusly wounded. rms unfOr-
tunate mistap had excited great irritation ON
the part Of the French sailors. against the A
( mericans." From the particularly Of detail,
except in regard to the name Of the m. rig
ate. we are led to fear the statement is too
true. If so, there must have been eareiess-
ness on the part Of our frigate totally inexcu-
sable.
from another statement of this melan-
choly occurrence. il appears that the Am.
frigate was the Constellation. and that only
one of her guns was shOited. The shot en-
tered one Of the port holes Of = LIE Sutren."J
The following eloquent and beautiful pas
sage concludes recent off hand speech OF
Mr.. Sprague of Maine, in the United States
Senate.
.Sir, the People are speaking for them
! selves, and suffering and writhing under the
curse Of bad government and arbitrary power
| they will speak the language Of freernen--
/ thew will burst the shackles Of party. Distress
knows no party, bankruptcy. and rum, and
poverty. and want, regard not the lines o. par
". Does not the gentleman see this. does ne
\ not feel it, does he not behold the hand writ
ing upon the wall |! Sir, the Illusion ~ brok'
en-, the idol worship is at an end. The dark
ness, the deep darkness, which has even pre-.
vailed. is passing away. The 7streaks OF iigh'
lin the East have grown broader and stronger
until the whole horizon is beaming with the
effnlgence of morning. The nation IS re-
deemed, regenerated. and disenthralled. New
York has spoken--New Jersey has spoken
J Virginia Virginia, too, has spoken, in hel
El0udest aud most decided tones. A peal u
swelling from all quarters. which oppression
! must hear. and under which oppression mus
cease"
Il gIa, this gentIeIMan has received nOf1inatior
for the Presidency. His reply manifests the
amiable sDOdesty of the IMAM, and furnishes
some curious particulars. ofpersonal history.
81 have NOT" says he, the presumption
to suppose that / have any such merit. as you
have been SO good AS to assign to me. But ifI
had all the natural endowments and acquired
! qualifications, which could be desired, could
not serve the public, IN any station, higher
than that from which / was 50 unceremOni-
J Onsly removed. / am the son Of an American,
the husband Ofan American. the father Of nine
Americans, and even the grand father Of an
American, but had not the honor Of being
born here myself. En the place OF my nativi-
ty, Ireland, / spent about seven of my early
years, and should be as much stranger there,
as if had been born Calinuc but If had
been born in Tartafy, should have that
sympathy for it, which is as honorable as il
seems to be natural. and of course have an
affection for land, which after enduring an OPP
preston of seven hundred years, still shakes
the chains Of slavery, so as To startle its tenn
porary rulers--a land which produced and
still produces eminent men in the walks Of sci
ence and liteFature-and whose sons have felt
a fraternal affection for the children Of glori-
GUS and happy America"

Mr.. r. H. Bayard, member ofthe Senate of
Delaware. resigning his seat in that body
Mr.. B. is the son of the Mr.. Bayard who so
long represented that State 10 the Senate Of
the United States. and who was one Of the
most distinguished men this country has ever
produced. The reasons given ia the letter

the writer, and from them general jackson
may learn why it was Mr.. Bayard would no.
