IrALY--As soon as the news Of the French
Revolution, and the subsequent proclamation of
the republic, was known at Rome, an immense
crowd Of people, proceeded with banners, and
amid cheers for the constitution and the French
republic, to the QCirinal, where a deputatIon
was chosen to present an address TO the Pope,
urging that a constitution be published, in har-
mony with the institutions of the other Italian
States, and that all the efforts of the nation, be
turned to the maintainance Of interior order
and exterior independence, The address con-
chdes by saying, "Itwill be the greatest glory
for your pontiicate, if in the midst Of the tenn
pests now preparing in Europe, Italy, avoiding
the evils that may result from them, is capable
of preserving internal order, establishing her
liberty, and regaining her Independence,
The Pope in reply acknowledged the justice
of the demand, and Aattered himself that sin a
few days, the work being completed, we would
be able to announce the new form of govern
mont,whici wi lob'ainigencraI satisfaction,Qnd
more particularly that OF the Senate and Coun-
Gil, who are more infinitely acquainted with the
! circumstances and position Of tue country"

sented 10 the Liberation Of the press, and the

ANOTHER WELL KNOWN FABLE.-Once on a
time a venerable and respectable John donkey
called whiggery. was jogging along very hun
gry and down-cast, for he had eaten nothing
for a long time, and the road was long and
weary. AT length, he espied, only a short
way Of, two pretty good-sized bundles of hay,
at which welcome sight he pricked up his ears,
quickened his pace, and gave forth a lusty
bray in anticipation. But as he drew near, he
saw standing on one side of the way one Far
mer CLAY, with a large bundle Of hay in his
arms, held invitingly forth, while on the other
side stood Capt. Zachary, an old veteran on
half pay, who lived in the neighborhood' and
he also held N his hand a small and modest
bundle of hay, Which he seemed half unwill-
ing should7bev eaten.
Whiggery stopped when he came between
the bundles of hay, and looked w%istfnIly from
one 10 the other. He was exceedingly hung
nv, but he could not exactly make up his mind
which of the bundles to commence upon,
Farmer Clay looked very smiling and good
humored, and Whiggery began nibbling and
smelling round his nayi but, although i was
by far the largest bundle, it seemed, when he
got his nose near, to be very dry and withered,
and the favor was almost entirely gone. On
the other hand. Captain Zachary's bundle
looked like fgesh-cut grass, and Whiggery saw
here and there a nice fat thistle sticking out
from the clover, which made his mouth water
and the tears run out Of his eyes. Perplexed
between these good things, poor Whiggery'
like a silly old ass as he was, wasted the time
without coming to any profitable decision
until his master arrived, and with a shower Of
kicks in the rear, compelled poor old Whigge-
ry to trudge on without his dinner.
We omit the moral.

NAPoLEoN'S PRorHEGY During his impris-
on nent at Helena, Napoleonmade to Las Casas
the following prediction-which is in a rapid
course of ful6lIment:
"In less than twenty-five years from the
present time, the whole European system Will
be changed. The French will cast the Bour-
bons and their debts of, as my Arabian steed
would any stranger that would dare mount
him. Then, if my son be in existence, he will
be seated on the throne amid the acclamations
of the people; if he be not, France will go
back to a Republic; for no other hand will
dare to seize a sceptre which it cannot WELD.
The Orleans branch, though amiable, are too
much like other Bourbons, and will share the
same fate, if they do not choose to live as SIM
pie citizens under whatever changes take place.
France once more a Republic, other countries
will follow her example-Ge Germans, Prussians,
Poles, Italians, Danes, Swedes, and Russians,
will all JOIN in the crusade for liberty"

A self-made NIan

About forty years ago, somewhere in the
woods, near the line between Tennessee and
Kentucky, in a log-cabin sixteen feet by eigh-
teen, which was already occ upied BY a brood
Of ten or twelve children, was born a young
ster--lhe hero Of our sketch. In his infancy
he was fed on hog and hominy, bear meat, and
the flesh ofsuch wild varmints' as were caught
in the woods, At twelve years Of age, he
was put out 70 work with a neighbor as a larm
boy, and drove oxen, hoed corn, raised tobacco
in summer, cured it and priced lt,in winters
till he was seventeen years old, when he took
to making brick; TO which he added the pro-
t@ession of a carpenter; and by these success
sive steps in mechanical arts he became able,
by his own unassisted skill, to rear a house
from the claY-pit, or from the stamp, and com
plete it in all its parts, and to do 1t, too,in a
manner that none o. his competitors could sur
pass. His panneldoors are TO this day the won
der aud admiration of all Che country, in which
they continue to swing on their hinges. He
never saw the inside Of a school-house or
church, till after he was eighteen years old.
By the assistance of ali old man in the neigh
borhood, he learned, during the winter even
ings, to read and write, when a farm boy
Having achieved these valuable acquisitions
by the aid Of another, all further education has
been the fruit Of his own application and per.
severance. At the age Of twenty-five, he
conceived the idea Of fitting himself for the
practice Of law. He at first procured an old
copy of Blackstone, and having, after the close
Of his daily labOrs, by nightly studies over a
pitch-knot fire in his log.cabin, mastered th'
, contents Of that of common law, he pursued
his researches into other elementary works
r And having thus, by great diligence, acquired
f the rudiments Of his profession, he met will
an old lawyer who had quit practice, or who's
$ practice had quit him, with whom he made
bargain for his scanty library, for which h
| was TO pay him Sl20 in carpenters work; an,
V the chief part Of the job to be done, in pay
ment of these old musty books, was lressin
ndlaying down an oak floor or floors, for TIRE
$ dollars per square Of ten feet. The librar
i paid for, our hero dropped the adze, plan
! and trowel, and we soon after hear Of hir
/ as one of the most prominent members o
= the Mississippi bar, and an able statesman an
orator, i heard him one days says one, 'mak
two speeches in succession of three hours j
: length each, to the same audience, and not
. movement testified any WEAKNESS on the pa
of a single auditor, and during their deliver
the assembly seemed swayed BY the orator 6

From California.

We clip the following from one of our
latest New Orleans papers:
Every thing in Upper California isqniet. At
La Paz, Lieut. Col. Burton. after being besieged
for three weeks by the guerrilleros, made a
sortie, and thoroughly routed theenemy. The
enemy concentrated their forces around our
post at San Jose commanded by Lieut.. Charles
HAYWOOD, u. S. NJ. The Mexican force a.
mounted to- 500, the American to 90. The
oucrrileros captured Passed Midshipnan Dun
can. private Marley, and five marines. Lieut.,
Haywood CALAMITY sustained the serge for
tweuty-one days, protecting large numbers Of
citizens and their families, who had fled to him
for shelter. At the end of'that time U S.
ship Cyane, Capt. Dupont, arrived at La Paz.
Capt. D. landed his crew, aforce of 100 men,
He fought his way through the guerrllleros
CAPTURED several eminences which they had
fortified nearIthe town, and arriving ut the cita-
del ~foundL Lieut. Haywood and his brave troops
nearly exhausted for want of sustenance.
This heroic garrison had stood outy in a
most depIrrable state, for some time, without
water or provisions. In the cation, Captain
Dupont had but four men wounded; the enc
my's loss very great. The garrison was then
abundantly supplied with ammunition and SUBJ
~sistence, and in a shorttime the enemy retreat
