FLORIDA TURpENTINE.-A Ne1c ArriraL
There was brught down the St. Marks
river, to this place, on Saturday last, A bar
rels Turpcntinc. This cargo was made
some eight miles above Newburyport, and

mis-, Esq, the present State Auditor. This

LOUIS Pn1L1rrE, HIS SoNs-IS-LAw, AND
THEIR MARRIAGE SErrLEMENTs.-The
has been a painful rumor aioat for some
time past concerning a serious difference
which has arisen between the Prince of
Wurtcmbcrg, husband Of the late lamcntcd
Princess Marie, and his own tather-in-law.
concerning the marriage settlements, which
have not us yet been fulfilled. Louis Phi
lippe cannot make up his mind to satisfy
the demand Of his hungry sons-in-law
Poor Leopold has waited long enough for
his unhappy million, which was to have
been paid Immediately after his marriage
with the Princess Louise, and which is still
owing, although he has son thirteen years
ctagc. The frequent visits of the King of
the Bc!glans always excite the keen wit of
the courticrs, the moro so as he has iuvuria-
bly," empty away" Louis Philippe
has too much cunning to be surprised, and
too much suavity to be bulIied there is

PATnETlc.-We clip the follwing from
the Baooklyn Advertiser:
Ct 4 RccLuse There dwclis in scclud-
cd par, of this city, in hovel ofa wretched
and obscure exterior, young female, of
singular beauty, who for three years past
has lived {; reclusc from association with
the world, save in the common intercourse
forced uron her by the purchase of her
household articles. She is repu,ed to be
immensely rich. and is known to be in pos
sceion of Jewels of rare value; but whence
she came, who she is, or what her object in
pursuing a career so strange, no one can d.
vine. Since she has been an occupant of
ter her abode, and lovely as she is in form
and feature, she appears studously to avoid
the rude sex, and seems to entertain for man
insuperablc aversion. There is mystery
connected with her which the most curious
and inquisitivc are unable to fathom, and a
deep and all-absorbing interest in relation
to her has been excited among many whom
her personal charms have won to odmira-
tion.''
A CuANcE.-Thc magnificent villa Of
Joseph Bonaparte at Bordentown, where in
his fallen fortunes, he had assembled the
books, the pictures and the bijoutere which,
in his days of royalty and power, he had
collected from all parts of Europe, has been
sold and is to be converted into manufac-
tory of glass.-"ro what vile uses may we
come at last" Alexander's body made to
stop the bung hole of a beer barrel is scarce
ly worse than this. Where now is that
" divinity which doth hedge king?" Fur
naces are to be erected in the halls, and bot.
ties for SWANS Panacea blown in the
chambers, where the elder brother of the
great Npoleon was wont to ruminate upon
the strange revolutions of that wheel of for

to place its members upon the thrones of
