AUGUSTA HERALD. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1815. BONAPARTE is in London: “ The long agony is over ” The disturber of the world is at rest. He who a few years since in terdicted all intercouse with England—who prohibited the introduction of its manufac tures iuto different European States, who issued a decree denationalizing, as he called it, every vessel spoken at sea by their cruisers, who pronounced them ; nest of sea robbers, and treated our country with unequalled contempt because we did not sooner make common cause with him against them ; even he is now a suppliant to them, seeking with them an asylum from his own countrymen and his foreign foes, and caltiug them the most powerful, most constant and most generous of his ene mies. W hat a spectacle, what a contrast h here presented to us? If such is the ter mination of unprincipled ambition, and in ordinate lust of power, how is the comfort, case, and tranquility of private life to be preferred to it. A nnmber of the Democratic citizen? of Albany, have recently presented Mr. Cobbet iu England, formerly known in this county as Peter Porcupine, with a suit of clothes of American manufacture, as a token of regard for his character, and admiration of his valuable writings. It is to be pre sumed that no one will question the right of any individual, or set of individuals iu this country, to make presents to pcrsous on the other side the Atlantic, whether they are sent as testimonials of aff'Ctiou or respect; and no one we conclude will deny that the citizens of Albany had as good a right to present Mr. Cobbet with a suit of clothes, us any siugle gentlemen in London would have had, to present a uew fashioned head dress or shawl to the object of his affection in this country, the intended comfort and partner of his future days. Not that we would by any means insinuate that the love now existing between Mr. Cobbelt and his Democratic friends here, is any certain in dication, of the continuance of a permanent and reciprocal affection between them, auy more than a rash and inconsiderate connec tion hastily formed, in a sure prelude to substantial domestic felicity. For in this changeable world, great versatility in the views and feelings of individuals may be calculated upon, ahd it requires n® great exercise of ones recolleotive faculty, to bring to mind a period, when the parties who are the occasion of these remarks, were as con spicuous for their abuse of eaeh other, as they now are for their endearing civilities ; •nd no person perhaps has a happier knack of veering with circumstances, that the in dividual who has been so liberally provided with an American suit. It will not wc hope be thought invidious or ill-natured in us here to remark, that ( had persons of different political sentiments made a similar present to a politician of a different political cast in England, it would no doubt, have been announced to the public as an evidence, that the object of the donation, was paid by party associa tions here, for party publications, and party scurrility abroad. Or, had a political scrib ler here, received a similar evidence of re gard from an association in London, the oft repeated cry of British gold would no doubt have been repeated, and the donation been adduced as evidence in its support; and such support vie confess would have been stronger proof that there was some founda tion for the charge, than any we have yet seen produced to substantiate it. Blit as the agents & actors in this ease possess those po political feelings & views, which seem not to have any necessary connection with propriety or consistency,we of course conclude that the donation in this instance naturally resulted fiom a congeniality of sentiment between the parties, and that this congeniality would be mantuiued and invigorated, while the mental labors of the one, received substantial testimonials of applause from the other. Mr. Cobbelt as was to be expected, received the present sent him with great civility, he has published the letter accom panying it in the register, as well as his own letter of acknowledgement for s® sig nal a mark of attention. These two cir cumstances bring this translation before the public as an important affair, especially as Mr. Cobbett’s letter is extended to a length, that would seem to indicate a resolution to pay, though in a different commodity, yard for yard, for the cloth he had received. He thanks the individuals who address him, compliments the enlightened state of the public mind in this country, from whence an object of its bounty and regard cotild lie selected at such a distance, and modestly in timates how easily the late war might have been avoided if his advice had beeu follow ed by the Statesmen iu England. In this respect his correspondents may doubtless reciprocate his regrets, and lament that council as sage as his, had been disregarded Jiy politicians here. The clothes sent him bo considers very beautiful, and so do his 4j|ieuds, and he expresses much gratification at the of his productions in this country, and after a great variety of other equally interesting matter on the sub ject of titles, honorary distinctions, &c. fie digresses, bv an obvious concatenation •f ideas ta the subj ct raising sheep and other ea ! t!e in the United States*, and he contemplate* favoring us with a method of keening them with more ease through the winter. 'We do not kuow how much useful and piactieal iaformatiou Mr. Cobbett’s in tended plan may c3K‘.aiu ; but frem his man- her of introducing the subject in a. Utter of acknowledgement lor the present, one might uaturally enough conclude, that he suppo sed “ sheep and other cattle” were plenty in and about Albany ; and that by feeding them with soft-corn , they might be kept in better plight, and of course in better spirits, than if fed is heretofore mostly on Hay and Turnips. Blit whether or not the Merino breed, is exclusively the object of Mr. Cobbett’s disinterested philaiithrophy, it is probable, hat in his attention to tiie com fort of the animal, he will not suffer him- ! self to loose sight of the fleece, it may fur- W E received some little time ago, a I portion of a manuscript, purporting to be a j copy of Letters from a Persian ’Traveller i» the United States to his friends in his! native land: The writer seems to have ( been a person of considerable observation, I and of some literary acquirements. In bis travel through our country it is presumed ! he purposely moved its a style, calculated to attract little attention, his object being to mix in society, and to make his own re marks, without being himself the sub ject of any particular notice. His Epistles were often probably written without much premeditation, and his observations as they were suggested to his mind, without any ia- j bored effort to satisfy even himself of their j correctness. His letter book which contain ed a copy of his correspondence, being left with a friend, we have received a transla tion of parts of it, to be disposed of at our own discretion. Such of the letters as ap pear not altogether of a private nature we propose to publish—presuming that the Re marks of such a stranger to our country and manners, may at least be amusing to our readers, even should they not be found highly ornamented, nor always to evince great profundity of thought, or extraordi nary maturity of judgment. The corres pondence thus commences LETTERS From a Persian Traveller, in the. Uni ted States, to his Wife, and different friends residing in the city of Shirauxl LETTER I. BELOVED OF t*Y SOUL ! Lah i llah ill Lillak ! Slav the rude storms of adversity never assail thy re pose, but the remnant of thy life be as tran- : quil as the Suu-beams, which shut in the j day behind the mountains of Dughistun. Though far from the beloved land of my | birth, and left to mingle with the enemies of our holy Prophet, yet AM knows that my j soul often takes its flight into the land where the bones of my fathers repose in qui et, and that in visions of the night I am oft- j ten transported to the seat of felicity, fp the i stream of Rokuabad, and the delightful bower of Moeellay. Mv heart yearns with ! anxiety towards thee and ours, when I re member the innocent and engaging prattle of our little ones their playful gam bols, and their enchanting smiles. Little did I conceive the auguisk to which I was about to expose myself, nor the anxieties to which my heart would become a prfey,wheu for the sake of gratifying curiosity, and ad ding to the store of wordly wisdom and wealth, I resolved to geparate myself for a while from the Mol of my heart, the chil dren of my affections, the laud of my birth, and to sojourn with a race of infidels, who neither reverence Mahomet, nor respect his discipl My mind has sought afttr many expedi efits by which to diminish the sorrows of absence, and to blunt tiic accuteness of the 1 pangs, of separation, an 1 in this alone of frequently writing to you, and our many friends, and making you acquainted with the emotions of my soul, and with this strange race in the midst of whieh rny lot is for the present cast, do I look for success. This therefore 1 shall adopt : and whilst With our revered Mullah, aud the venerable Abdallah, and our three little ones, you col lect in our family dwelling at the close of day, and listen to these details, let a tear bedew your cheeks, and a sigh agitate your bosoms, in behalf of the louely wanderer Hafiz. I nowpausebut; shall soon resume my p and when you’are presented with a descrip tion of this singular people with an account of their customs and manners, their religion and laws, your surprize my Ziliah will on ly be exceeded by your p ; ty. You will find double reason to rejoice, that you first drew breath in those regions where the true prophet is worshipped, and that you have never passed the stream of the pure and majestic Tigris. Alay’st thou continue sheltered beneath the wings of the angel of peace, ami again gladden the heart of thy faithful HAFIZ. NEW-YORK, Sept. 6. OF BONAPARTE. Capt. Cole, of the ship Savannah, from Havre de Grace, informs, that on the 3d of ! August, he was close off Falmouth, when lie spoke a frigate, only an hour from the port, and was informed, that, THAT MORNING BONAPARTE was ES iCORTED TO LONDON Thus it ap-j pears, that is great personage ft not, to he j sent to St. Helena, as was expected on hi-, j i first arrival ia England t the Bell eruption. ! C apt. Cole has brought despatches from j j our Consul at Pans, and from Louis XVIII. ! to the French Minister here. This forenoon the French frigate Her moine, lying in the harbor, hoisted the white flag, iu token, of allegiance to the Bourbons, and fired a royal salute of 2l guns. Two months ago she did the same for Bonaparte. It will doubtless afford pleasure to our readers to learn, that Messrs. Gallatin and Clay, have returned to the United States ; they arrived a few days since at New-York, where, it will be seen by the following article, they received those m&<ks "? attention, due to their services and merit Yesterday afternoon, a splendid Dinner was given at Tammany Hall to our distin guished citizens, Messrs.
