WILMS Hospital dee Invalides—Monument of Turren- ne—Marshal .Yet/—Jl Polish lady in ttni- form-Females masquerading in men’s clothes Duel between the tons of George the IV. and of Bonaparte—Gambling propensities of the French. The wonthcr slid holds worm and bright,as it has been all the month, nnd the scarcely “ pro- Mature white pantaloons” appeared yesterday in the Tnilrrics. Tho Indies loosen their “boas,” the silken greyhounds of Italy follow their mistresses without shivering, the birds ere noisy nnd gay in tho clipped trees—who that hod known Fcdrunry in New England would recognize him by surh ndescription? I tiuik on indolent stroll with my friend Mr Ysii B this morning to the Hospital des Invalides, on liter other side of the river.— Hein, not long since, wore twenty-five thou sand old soldiers. There nre hut five thou- •and now remaining, most of them hnva been dismissed by tho I- urbnns. It is, of course, ono of the moat interesting spots in France j and of a pleasant day thero is no loungo where • traveller rnn find an much mailer for thought, with to much pleasure to the eyo. Wo rroa •ed over by tho Pons Louis Quinte, nnd kept along the bank of the river to ilia esplanade jn front of the hospital. Thoro was novor n sof ter sunshine, or a morn delicious tempered air ( and wo found the old veterans out of doors, sitiing upon the cannon along tho rampart, or halting about, with their wooden logs, under the trees, the pictures of comfort and content ment. The building itself, aa you know, is very celebrated for it* gmodeur. The dome of the'invalides rises upon the eye from all parts of Paris, a perfect model of proportion and beauty. It tvos thia which Bonaparte or- dored to bo gilded, to divert the people from thinking too much upon his defeat. It is a living monument of the moat touching recol lections of him now. Positively the blood mounts, and the tears spring to the eyes of the spectator as he stands a moment, and remem bers what is nround him in that piano. To see hia maimed followers creeping along the corridors, clothed and fod hv the bounty he left, in a place devoted to hie soldiers alone, their old comrades about them, and all glow ing with one feeling of devotion lo his memo- fy, to speak to them, lo hear the' stories of »' L’ Empereur"—it is belter than a thousand histories to make one feel the glory of “the greet captain.” The interior of the dome is vast, and of a splendid style of architecture ; and out from one of iia aides extends a superb chapel, bung all around with the tattered flags taken in his victories olone. Here the vete rans of hia army worship, beneath the banners for which they Tought. It is hardly appropri ate, I should think, to adorn thus the church of a." religion of peace but while there, at least, we feel strangely certain, somehow, that a is right and fil ing, nnd when, a* we stood deciphering the half-eflfacgd insignia of the different nations, the organ begso to peal, there certainly was any thing but a jar between this grand music, consecrated aa it is by reli< glory. The anthem Beamed lo him! The majestic. found* ware still rollmg through the dome when we came to the mouo- enenl of Tureuns. Here ia another comment on the character of Bonaparte’s mind. There was once a long inscription on this monument, describing, in the fulsome style of an epitaph the deeis ond virtue* of the distinguished man who is buried beneath. The emperor remo ved and replaced it by a small slab, graven with llio single word Turenne You acknowl edge lh« sublimity ol this as you stand before it. Every thing is in keeping with its gran deur. The lofty proportions and magnificence of tho dome, the tangible trophies of glory, nnd the maimed and venerable figures, kneel ing about the altar, of those who helped to win them, are circumstances that make that eloquent word as articulate os if it was spoken in Ihundpr. You feel that Napoleon’s spirit might wnlk the piece, nnd read tho hearts of thoNO who should visit it imoffended. Wo passed on to tho library. !( is orna mented with the portraits of all the generals of Napoleon, save ono. Arty's ia not there. It should, and will he, nt some time or other, doubtless ; but I wonder that in a day when such universal justice is done to the memory of ibis brave ntun, so obvious, and it would seem necessary a reparation, should not he demanded. Great efforts have been making of lam lo get his sentence publicly reversed, hut though they deny his widow and children nothing else, this melancholy and unavailing saiisfaclinn is refused them. Ncy’u memory little need* it, it is true. No visitor looks about the gallery al the Invalides without com menting feelingly on tho omission of his por- trait; end probably no one of the sacred vhlo fans who sit there reading their own deeds in history, looks round on the laces of the old lenders of whom it telle, without remembering end feeling that the brightest name upon (ho page is wanting. I would rutlier, if I tvero his son, have the regret than tho justice. We left the ho pilut, as all must leave it, full of Napoleon. France is full of him. The monuments an the hearts of the people are all alive with his name anil glory. Disapprove and dolracl from his reputation as you will, (and as powerful minds, with apparent justice, have done,) as long as human nature is what it is, ns long ns power nnd loftiness of heart hold their present empire over tho imagina tion, Napoloon is immortnl. Tho promenading world is amused just now with the daily appearance in the Tuilertes of a Polish lady, dressed in tho Polonois undress uniform, docorated with tho order of distinc tion given for bravery at Warsaw. She is r.ot very beautiful, but she wears the handsome military cep quite gallantly ; and her small feet and full chest are truly captivating in boots and a frogged coal. It is an exceedingly spir ited, well chaructcred face, with a complexion slightly roughened by her new habits. IJer hair is cut short, and brushed up at the sides, and sho certainly handles the little switch she entries tvilh an air which eniroly forbids insult. Sho is ordinarily seen lounging very idly along between two Polytechnic boys, who seem to have a great admiration for her. I observe that the Polish generals touch their hats very respectfully as she passes, but as yet 1 have boen unable lo como al her precise history. By tho by, masquerading in men's clothes is not at all uncommon in Puris. 1 have sometimes socn two or tlireo women at a lime dining at the restaurants in this way. No no lice is token of it, and llm lady is perfectly safe from insult, though every one that passes may penetrate the disguise. It is common nt the theatres, and ut the public balls still more so. 1 have noticed repeatedly at the weekly soir ees of a lady of high respectability, two sisters in boy's clothes, who play duels upon the piano for tho dance. The lady of the house told mo they preferred it, lo avoid at- tenlion, nnd the awkwardness of position na tural lo their voraiion ia seemly. The tailors tell me it is quite a branch of irsde.tnnking suits for Indies of a similar taste. There is one particularly, in the lieu Richelieu, who is fum ed for his nice fits to the female figure. It is remarkable, however, that instead of wearing their new honors iheokly, there is no such tm pertinent puppy as a femme deguisee. I saw ono in a cafe, not long ogo, rup the garcon very smarily over Ike lingers withe rattan, for overrunning her cup; and they are sure to shoulder you off the sidewalk, if you are at all in the way.' I have soon several amutiag in slancea of a probable quarrel in the street ending in a gay bow, und a 11 pardon, ma dame!” There has heart a groat deal of excitement here for the two past days on the result of a gambling quarrel. An English gentleman, a fine, gay, noble looking fellow, whom 1 have often met al parlies, and admired for his stri kingly winning and elegant manners, lost fifty thousand franca on Thursday night at cards. The Count St. Leon was the winner. . It ap- pears that Hesse, the Englishman, had drank freely before silling dm. p to play, and the next morning his friend, who had bet upon the game, persuaded him that there had been some unfairness on the part of hia opponent— He refused consequently tu pay the debt, ant) charged the Frenchman, and another gentle man who backqd him, with aeeepiiun. The result woe a couple of challenges, which were both accepted. Hesse fought the count on Friday, and was dangerously wounded at the firel fire. His’friend fought on Saturday, (yesterday,) and ia reported to be dangerously wounded. It is s little remarkable that both tho losers are shot; and alill more remarkable, that Hease should have been, as ho is well known to be, a natural son of George the Fourth; and Count imon, as was equally well known, a natural son of Bonaparte I Everybody gambles in Puris. I had no idea that so desperate a vice should be ao uni versal, and so little deprecated ae it is. The ladies losing or winning money. Almost all French women, who are too old to dance, play at parties, and their daughters and husbands watch the game aa unconcernedly as if they wore turning over prints. I have seen English ladies play, but with loss philosophy. They do not lose their money gaily. It is • great spoiler of beauty, the vexation of a loss. I think I never could respect a woman upon whose lace I had remarked the shade I often see at an English card-table. It is certain that vice walks abroad in Paris, in many « shape that would seem, to an American eye, to show the fiend too openly. I om not over particular, I think, but I would ns soon expose a child to the plague as give either son or daughter a free rein for a year m Paris. giotis associations, and the thrilling and un- gambling houses are aa open and as ordinary controlled sense in my bosom of Napoleon's • reaort ae any public promenade, and one may haunt them with aa little danger lo his reputation. To dute (him six lo eight, gam ble from eight to ten, go to u ball, and return to gamble till morning, is as common a rou tine, for married men and bachelors both, aa a system of dress, and as little commented on < sometimes stroll into %qard-rnom at a party. But! cannot get accustomed to ibo sight of van's Leap.—On the 25th of April, 1792 Benjamin Ulin left the Stockade, above Ihe mouth of Kenhawa river, (now Point Pleas ant, Virginia )«nd crossing the Konhawn, he followed a path that Ind up to a point, to the top of a hill about half a mile below the Ken. Ittvwu, in pursuit of a stray horse. As lie ap proached the hill ho was seen by three Indi ans, then on the top, who carefully concealed themselves, and lay in ambush, until lie reach ed the top; when two of them who had nrms, tired at him. One of their balls passed thro’ his clothes, and touched, but did not bury it self in his right hip; the other missed him. Finding their fire had been ineffectual, they separated, two of them running and occupy ing the only pusses, by which ho could reas cend Ihe hill, in the direction of the Stockade, nnd (lie other made at him. Thus surroun ded, , e was left with no other alternative but to fall into their hands a prisoner, or leap down o high precipice of rocks on Ihe North side of the hill, fronting (he Ohio River.' Ac quainted with many of the Indians and know ing their feeling towards him, he was satisfied that a certain, if not a lingering death awaited him. In litis awful predicament, ho stood pondering over his melancholy condition, without arms to defend himself; until Ihe In dian had come nearly up to him; when he summoned up resolution, and commenced a rapid retreat towards the brink of the preci pice, hotly, pursued by the Indian—arrived there he did not hesitate, but leaped down the precipice, passing through the top hranrhes of a small Buckeye tree, ho jumped sixty five and a half feet before he touched the ground; recovering as soon as possible, he made three other leaps, the first seventeen the second seven, and the third eleven feet, which took him down nearly to Ihe base of tho hill. He then ran lo the Ohio river, plunged into Ihe water, und undertook to swim across, but find ing Ihe water very cold, and that the Indians had not pursued him he returned to the shore, ran up the beach, recrossod Kenhawa, in a small esnoo, and soon arrived ut the Stockade. The distance of each leap was measured by the late Cal. Lewie, of Virginia, nnd Col. Boon, of Missouri, who were at Ihe Stockade nt tho time. From Ihe fall of the leaves in au tumn, to their budding in the spring, the preci pice enn bo seen by boatmen descending the Ohio River, from a great distance: and ever since that occurrence, it has received from thum, the appellation of “IJLIN’S LEAP.” Notwithstanding the extraordinary efforts he made, after leaping down (he precipice, and which enabled him to effect his escupo, they were not made without considerable injury ;' far some lime his life was dispaired of—but he finally recovered. He,.ia now a rospectabln citizen of Greenup County, Ky. He is sixty- five years of age; he is koon, active, and sprightly—mirthful, jolly and gay. He enjoys perfect good health, save some occasional paiua in his back and hips, whirh he thinks results from Ihe injuries lie received, when he leaped down the precipice of rock*. After the trealy of 1795, it wan ascertained from some of the Indians, who came into Point Pleasant und mingled with the white*, that story hud been-in vague among them, end ex tensivoly behoved in on the auihoriiv of those who chared Ultn. “ That they had fired on a While man,who ran to the top of u high preci pice of rocks, wlterehe took wings and flew off.” two bands, as if ashamed to have it soen, the tears made their way between her pretty fingers.

At last, the young beauty, as if by desper ate effort, relieved him from his embarrass ment. “ Falhor,” said site, with a trembling and half-suppressed voice, “ I will tell you all, if Heaven will give mo strength to apeak.

That night, in particular—it was last Thursday, father— he looked so very handsome, and aeemod so very fond of me—and—that—in short—” ’ But,” exclaimed the pious priest, with a sudden shew of indignation, “ did your moth er never warn you of the terrible danger of such conduct 1 Did she never tell you the fatal consequences of—” * No, father,” (interrupted the terrified penitent,) *' she never told me there was any thing wrong in being fond of such a vory beau tiful cai—and—— “A cal!—was it a cat?” “ Yes, father; a largo beautiful white Ango la, that I was so wicked as to steal from Ihe pastry-cook’s opposito where we live, and have kept him concealed in my room ever since.” In nomine Patris el FiUiet Spirilus Sancti, te absotvo, said the good priest, and never did be pronounce the word* with a more full and grutified feeling of pious satisfaction. PROPOSALS FOR THE Southern Banner, A WEEKLY NEWSPAPER PUBLISHED IN THE TOWN OF ATHENS, GEORGIA. ALBON CHASE AND ALFRED M. NISBET EDITORS. The Fair Penitent.—It was evening. The last rays of the setting sun fell upon the rick ly painted windows of tho abbey, ond threw a “ dim religious light” upon the marble floor boneatb, and the fretted pillars that rose on all sides. A young female, dressed in virgin while, advanced up the aisle, with slow and irregular steps, her eyos timidly bent upon ihe ground, and her lovely locks half-shading a countenance in which health and innocence seemed to vie with each other, which should add most beauty to features, Ihe form of which were beauty itself She stopped for a moment es she reached the open portal of Ihe chapel that formed a re cess on one aide of the aisle, end then turned into the recess, entered a Confessional, and fell upon her knees. What “ ignorant sin” could this sweet one have committed, that required absolution at Ihe hands of her holy father confessor! We shall see. Having first pronounced her accustomed prayer with a timid voice, she seemed to gain confidence by this act, and proceeded to re late, first, her little acts of contumacy towards her achool-mistrets, (for, though bordering on womanhood, ahe had not yet left the Convent School); then her little sins of actual com mission; reserving Ihe gravest to Ihe lash At length, though ahe bid evidently not con cluded her confession ahe made a full stop, as if reluctant to proceed farther. “Come daughter,"exclaimed Ih egood priest, “proceed; you must not permit a false pride or delicacy to deter you from that full confea- eioo without which absolution were vain.

O N assuming the duties and responsibilities of the publication of the Southern Banner, the Editwa feel themselves bound by every sense of duty, both | 0 the former patrons of the Athenian, and those of thei, friend, whose aid they confidently anticipate—in order to retain thsone and merit the olner-to lay before them a fair and candid, but auccinct eaposil ion of the prin ciples by which they nr« to be governed and directed in the prosecution of their arduous and responsible un dertaking. They do not think it necessary at this 1sti day—a day which is shedding its light and glory, with such general and invigorating power over our whole body politic, to enter elaborately and minutely into a detail of their political views ana opinions. Indeed, to do so, would be virtually offering an insult to the good eenee of the community. To profeee the name of the bteseed founder of our holy religion, is in itsclf a suffi cient guarantee of the principles of the genuine chrir. tint; so do they hold it only neceeeary to own and pro fess the names of the three great apostles of correct principles, in order to satisfy an cnlightenrd commu nity of tho nature of their political faith, and the inert-’ table tendency of their future practice. Tho Southenf Banner,then, will rest hereafter for support and patron age, on the broad, firm, and immutable rock of Repub licanism. All those pure and hallowed doctrines which originally flashed upon the world from the pen of a Jefferson—which have been cheriahed no handed down to us by our venerated Ureui/erd, and t-'ulcsccd ao in flexibly, and ao triumphantly practiced, in many res pects, by our favorite Troup, will in it And a champion, howover humble, yet of stern and uncompromising in- causes will, they believe, tend to render the Banner hereafter, (and they say it without intending the least reflection on the course pursued by their wor thy predecessor, the late proprietor of the Athenian,) of more general interest and of greater value to tbo party, than it has been of late, and none of which eecma to them, so well calculated to produce this result, as the opposition which will be shortly exerted, in thia place, to their press, and to their principles. This idea they do not deprecate, but rather cherish, knowing that an honorable and literal opposition, will tend to stim ulate them to the performance of their duty, whilst they hope it will rally to their support, their friends, and the friends of the party, for whose interest and prosperity they are determined to devote every honorable exertion. The editors have engaged among the r correspon dents, several gentlemen of established Literary and Political character, whose communications will hereaf ter serve to enrich and adorn the columns of the Southern Banner. And with regard to the other de partments of the paper, they can but add, that their beat exertions will be devoted to render them useful and amusing to their patrons and readers. Great promise* are, however, at best, but cheap commodities, and of course they feel themselves bound to say as little, and promise aa charily aa possible; but in launching forth their little barque upon the- stormy waves of public opinion, they must trust alone to their ekillful pilotage for meriting, and winning for it, moorings safe and snug in the hearts of their fellovt- citizene.
