ANECDOTE OF BONAPARTE.

II is related of Napoleon, the late Emperor Of
rance, that, when he was child oi seven years
OIL age, he was one day accused, by one Of his
sisters, OF having eaten basket-full of grapes,
hgs and clirons, which had come from the garden
oil ms uncle. Napoleon denied that he had eaten
mem; but 1t was believed that he had, and he
was whipped He was told that, if he would beg
pardon, he should be forgiven. He,' however,
protested that he was innocent; but he was not
believed. AS further punishment, he was kept
three whole days Upon bread and cheese. How
ever, he did not cry, though he was dull. but NOT
suky. AT length on the fourth day of his pun
ishment, a little friend of another of his sisters,
Marianne Bonaparle, returned from the country,
and. on hearing Of Napoleon's Disgrace she con-
fcssed that she and Marianne had eaten the fruit.
1t was now Marianne's turn 10 he punished
When Napoleon asked why he had mt ac-
cused his sister, he replied that, though he sus-
peced that she was guilty, yet ont of considera-
ton to her little friend. who had no share in the
lalsehood, he said nothing.
Now this was covering the sin Of his little
friend. He scorned to be teIl-tale, even at the
expense Of suffering himself. Napoleon did this,
perhaps, from what is called high sense of no.
nor; and there was something noble in his con-
duct. When Napoleon was man, he did MANY
things falsely called glorious hut he never looked
so glorions when, on this OCCASION, he scorned
10 tell lie. and charge himself with taking the
fruit. to save further punishment. and he would
not tell of the others to get them punished. If
we can prevent mischief, we should do so but
when it is done, let not be the first to tell of
it. that we may ujure others. Let us warn them
against doing it again; and if it be designed and
deliherote mischief, let US avoid both them and
their dongs.
When envy. strife and wars begin
In little angry souls,
Mark how the sons of peace come in,
And qnench the kinding Goals.
Their minds humble mild and meek
Nor let their fury rise;
No passion moves their lips to speak
No pride rxalts their eyes.

A farmers DAUGHTLR.-A few years ago
farmer living few miles from Easton, sent his
daughter on horseback to that town to procure
from the bank smaller notes for one of 100 dollars
When she arrived there, the bank had closed, and
she endeavored to effect her object by offering it
at several stores, but could not get her note chan
ged. She had not gone far OH her return when a
stranger rode up to her and accosted her with so
much poiteness that she had not the slightest sus-
picion Of any evil intention on his part. After
ride Off mile or two, employed in a very social
conversation, they come to retired part of the
road, and the gentleman commanded her to give
him the note. 1t was with some difficulty that
she could he made to believe him in earnest as
his deneanor had been so frendly-hut the pre-
sentaton Of pistol placed this matter beyond
doubt. and she yielded to necessity. Just as she
held the note to him, sudden puff of wind blew
the note into the road and carried it gently seve-
raj yards from them. The discourteous knight
alighted to overtake it, and the lady whipped her
horse to get out of his power. and the other horse
who had been left standing by her side, started
with her, His owner fired pistol, which only
tended to increase the speed Of all parties, and the
young lady arrived safely at home with the horse
Of the robber, on which was pair OF saddebags.
When these were opened they were found to
contain, besides quantity of counterfeit bank
notes, fifteen hundred dollars in good money!
The horse was good one. and when saldled and
bridled, was though, to be worth at least as much
as the bank note that was stolen
The CHEsAPEAKE AND Ono CANAL.-We
learn with great pleasure that the water has been
admitted into the twenty seven miles Of this Ca
nal lately finished, and that boats are now navga-
ting that as well as the older portions of the line.
This completes one hundred and thiny-seven
miles Of this great work, leaving but fifty miles
to hnsh, IN order to connect the town of Cumber-
land with tide-water, by the most perfect canal
navigation which this country can boast Of
We may now expect great increase to the
trade Of the Canal, because the portion in use
connects with the national road at Hancock. at
which point the descending trade will take the
boat Already several boats freighted with po-
tatoes. fish, salt, and other merchandise, from this
District, have passed through this one hundred
and thirty-seven miles Of canal, to points on the
river above the 9th dam, which is at the mouth
of Great Cacapon river
Owing to the unusual low stage of the water
at this season of the year, the river navigation
between Cumberland and the point to which the
Canal is finished is very dangerous; so much SO.

trict may reasonably anticipate, upon the accom-
plishment of that event.

LATEST FROM MEXICO.

General Filosoa, with about 1000 men
under his command, was shut up in Meta
moras by the federalists under Electuro
Mendez.
On the 9Th of January, the federalists
having approached within one league of
the town, were attacked by the troops of
General Fiosola, but the action was not
decisive. Each side had about 40 killed
or wounded. The federalists lost 2 pieces
of cannon, and Filosoa had some of his
officers killed.
General Camilla, who had retreated on
Metamoras after the repulse at Tampico,
was attacked by the federalists under Gen.
Fernandez, near Santa Teresa. He had
only 800 men left when he entered Meta
moras by night.
A decisive battle was looked for every
dav between the army in Metamoras and
the federalists, who were in the vicinity.
The decree for expelling the Fench from
the Mexican territory, was rlgidly enforced
at Metamoras by the Governor.
General Wall had resigned his commits
sion of Major General in the Mexican ar
my, because he would not march against
the French-bis countrymen.
ZIP An engagement between the troops
of the federal and central parties Of Mexico
is said to have occurred near Metamoras,
about the 10th inst, during which 300
men are reported to have been slain, both
parties claiming the victory.
The city of Vera Cruz had beea aban-
doned by its inhabitants, and the port shut
against foreign commerce. Vessels are
permitted to enter. but not TO land cargoea
under penalty of con6scation.
The long continuance ofthe struggle has
exhausted the finances of the government
The supplies for the army were derived
from voluntary contributions. The peo-
Pile had been called upon to advance do
nations of money to defray the expenses oil
the war. How long this infatuation may
last, IS difficult to conjecture, but the pre-
sumption is, that the appearance of a
French army under the walls of the Next
can capital, is the only feasible mode Of
bringing that people to their right senses.

7 his assertion may startle the reader and appear
to him absurd and ridiculous, yet nevertheless it
is true. v hat is disease? When properly consid-
cred it is only EFFORT OF NATURE to expel |
from the body some offending cause. We are so
constituted that there is constant tendency in ma
ture to expel or throw off whatever is injurious to
health, his is done by urine, stool, sweat, expec
toration vomit SC, these are the sewers of the
body through which all the useles and decayed
matter is carried off; and so long they are kept
open, so long will the body continue in health.
But when from eating improper food, or other causes
the bowels become costiye sudden transition from
heat to cold the pores Of the skin become closed
any of the other drains become DISTRACTED, evil
consequences sure to follow. The foul matter
viii should escape by these outlets instead of
passing off, as nature intended, is retained in the
body and either putrlies the stomach, or is taken
up by the absorpen vessels and added tn the circu-
ation. This impure matter floating about the sys-
tenn, in the blood, is disease IN q latent form. 1t
sometimes appears harmless for while, but ma
ture always the alert discovers the ntruders
and Immediately commences struggle for their
expulsion. 1t will be observed in order to accom-
psh this undertaking she always directs her efforts,
TO THE OPENING OF THE N:aTUR-
III Drains OF THE BODY. The blood is
quickened in its circulation-t ushes with violence
through tie system, and breaks through all oppos-
ton. This increased action or commotion, is called
fever Nature always exerts herself in proportion
to the amount of labor she is compelled to peri RIM;
therefore as the body is more or less loaded with
corrupted humors, so will the commoon be more
or less vioent.-If nature be totally neglected or
counteracted in her efforts to remove offending mat
ter, (disease) it is not wonderful that under such
circumstances the body should sink under the con-
hict Assisting nature should be our chief study,
and for this purpose medicine ,pW be found SO

The blood will throw off the grosser particles of its

PEELED by the purgative quality ofthe Pills. And
under every circumstance, if properly persevered
with, it is impossible but that every disease must
yield to their powerful influence.

CONGRESS-.

The proceedings Of Congress, since our
last are hardly worth noticing. Mr.. Clay
has made great speech against radical
abolflonism, on the occasion of his present.
ing a memorial from inhabitants of the Dis
irict of Columbia, re inonstrating against the
agitation Of abolitionism, in that district,
and praying that this "foreign interference"
may cease. Mr. Clay has always been
warmly opposed 70 the measures of the
aboltionists, though i'll favor Of receiving
their petitions, and referring then to a
proper committee. He is, we believe a
strong friend to Colonization.
Mr.. Calhoun, went still further than Mr.
Clay and contended that Slavery instead
of being an evil, had been great blessing
and the means of preserving TO us our lib
critics!
The petition presented by Mr.. Clay was
laid on tho table, and ordered to be prin-
ted.
The army appropriation bill was debated
but no vote taken.
