The Duke of Wellington, who has often sue
cessfully braved death in its most dangerous and
jestc form, recently came very near being oh ked
out Of existence by small splinter Of bone from
the wing Of partridge THE best assistance was i'm
mediately invoked-a skilful surgeon forced the
fragment down his excellencys throat, and thus, by
the aid of the allies the Duke of Wellington was
enabled once more to triumph over Bony-part Ii
was rather sinking in poetry though, for him who
has safely confronted so many sabres bayonets and
bullets, TO come near being stranged by bill of a
bird. Had II been morsel Of the imperial eagle
which thus stuck in his throat like Alacbeth's amen
there would have been a spice both of dignity and
poetical justice in t, and nobody would have said
" Ney ;" but that the fraction of partridge should
endeayor TO make game Of a lsurelled mar,hal was
little too bad. II is presumed that Sir Hudson
Low will be made keeper of this assassin-like pinion
and will be placed in command of the wing which
so daringy threatened to overthrow the hero Of Wa

IMPEACHMENT OF THE PRESIDENT.


The representative of this District has voted for
Mr.. Botts's resolution to impe ich President Tyler
This vote is in defiance of the vote of the People
electng Mr. Seymour to fill the place of Mr.. Hunt,
VIII CHI approved Of President Tyler's course and con-
demned that Of the Long Parliament. On the same
day, we find this party rejecting the Exchequer and
assaultng the President because he has put his con-
stitutiona negative on charter of United States
Bank The high crimes of the Executive consist, as
well as those of the Democracy of the country, in
being opposed to a mammoth Bank. We recommend
to Mr.. Bolts Mr. Hunt and their associates, to i'm

on the chief Of the nation, has fallen to the ground

House saying in effect by their report on the Exche-

This is the end proposed To accomplish it, they are
for putting down the wise provisions of the Constitu-
ton for returning bills for reconsideration they are
for impeachng the Prcsdt nj and for grinding the
People into the dust, unless they submit to have the
dead monster recalled to life Against tins reckless
plan of procedure, the people Of this District protest
We know of right of any party to sacrifice Their
country on the altar Of ambition.
In short the sooner the Long Parliament ad journs,
the better Truly the country hath no need of such
unworthy seryans.

And warded OF fell Envy's lightning wrath,
And thus TO glory he your great names given,
