Liverpool, August 28.
Lord Amherst and Bonaparte.
The C'xsar, wl.ich in consequence of the
loss of the Alceste frigate, recently brought
home Lord Amherst and his suite from Bata
via, Vs* the bearer of the latest intelligence
from St. Helena, relative to the health and
manner of living of the Ex-Emperior of
France. The Csssar having occasion to touch
at St. Helena, lord Amherst expressed a tie
: sire to be introduced to Bonaparte, and in
spite of some obstacles which presented
themselves his lordship, with capt. Maxwell j
i and Mr. Lynn, surgeon of the Alceste, was i
allowed to wait upon him. On the 3d of July, j
lord A. was ushered into Bonaparte’s pre- .
sence at Longwood," whilst capt. M. and the !
surgeon waited in an anti-chamber. It was
not long before those officers were desired to
join. There was nothing in the appearance
of Bonaparte which in the least indicated ill
health ; on the contrary he looked well and
was less bloated than ordinary. In his con
! versation with the party, his questions were
• put with the usual rapidity ; indeed they fol
j lowed each other in such quick succession,
I that answers could only be given to those
j which appeared most marked and important.
| With his general curiosity, Bonaparte inquir
• ed of the Officers what stations they filled on
boArd the ship, and on learning M. Lynn was
the surgeon, he enquired what system of phar
macy he pursued. “ That depends on cir
cumstances,” replied the surgeon. “ I hope,”
rejoined the General, “it is any other than
; that prescribed on this island, for here we have !
| the same thing over and over again—bleeding j
! and calomel for ever.” The conversation tak- j
ing a turn on the mission of Lord Amherst to j
China, his Lordship related the cause of his
failure; which he ascribed to the necessity
imposed upon him by the Emperor, of smiting
the ground nineteen times with his forehead ;
an indignity which Lis Lordship intimated j
could not be submitted to. Here Bonaparte’s j
answer shewed the man. “ Indeed ! Now j
had it suited my policy to send an Ambassa
dor to the Emperor of China. I should have j
instructed him to kiss his great toe; and if
that would rot do, he might, if required,
i have saluted a more offensive part, ptovidtd
j my object could be attained.”
I In the course of conversation,.- Bnvparte
| 9u id he knew of no law which gave the powers
j of Europe the right of detaining him a prison
er at St. Helena, or elsewhere; and strongly
urged the propriety of the present situation
being taken into consideration by the crowned
heads of Europe—Notwithstanding his disap
pointments, he still affects great reliance on
the justice of the Prince Regent of England,
when unconnected with national policy, and
the influence in Ministers ; and, with this im- I
pression on his mind, he expressed an anxious 1
] wish that lord Amherst would be the bearer of a
letter from him to his Royal Highness, which
had been prepared some time, with the inten
tion of forwarding it to England—We have
reason to believe we-are correct in stating, that
his lordship undertook to deliver the letter in !
question—lt is said to be couched in the most
respectful terms ; but discovers a soreness
throughout on account of the unnecessary re
straints he alledges that he is made to undergo.
The officers of the Alceste found that he can
have the range of the whole Island in his ex
ercise of riding, driving or walking, provided
he will allow a British officer to attend him ;
but to this he objects—As it is, he may extend
his walks about 12 miles, but then he is liable
to meet in his perambulations British sentinels
at various points, who never fail to present
arms to h'.m—Madame Bertrand was seen by
the British officers, and the impression made
upon them was, that she was a very handsome
and clever women. 1
MOST IMPORTANT.—The Bank of
England has agreed to receive the notes of
the Bank of Ireland the same as their own.
To illustrate this subject, it is only neces
sary to state, that a merchant in Dublin, in
stead of paying lo per cent, for a bill to
meet liis engagement in London, may trans
mit Irish notes, and they will be received as
British currency. —.
Contagious Fever in Ireland.
Limerick, August 28.
Thirty persons in fever have been admit
ted into the Hospital within the last two days.
STKABANE—We regret to state, that
a most alarming fever has been for some time
past raging in this town, from the effects of
which, principally, not less than 167 corpses
have heeu interred in the grave-yard, from
this town aud its immediate neighbourhood,
siuce the 27th oi last month; aud front the '
number* of patients at present confined, and j
it being inferred that the contagion was '
likely lo spread, it was deemed advisable to j
fit up the Court-House for their reception, ;
which wasurdered by the Provost, and a !
voluntary subscription entered into by the
inhabitants; in consequence, forty patients
were removed thereto last week—lt is gene
rally believed, that this calamity has arisen
from the distress and misery of the suffering
poor, which excite the strongest feelings of
compassion,
Londonderry, August 26.
We are extfemerly 'sorry to learn, that
several new cases of fever and small pox
have occured in this city, and Uiat a further
extension of the booths erected for the re
ceptiou of the patients, has been found ne
! eessary—This latter circumstance is the
I more to he lamented, from the low state of the
funds far their relief—For notwithstanding
; the unexampled liberality of the citizens of
i Derry throughout this calamitous season, the
immense sums subscribed by them, are now
exhausted—nor is it surprising, when, in the
single articles of coffins for the poor, 100 1
has been expended.
The Assize Court at Perpignan has con
victed a woman of murder—This wretch, it
appeared, destroyed a young soldier who
lodged in her house, for the sake of some
money in his possession—Shocking to relate,
the deceased proved to be her own son 1
This heart-rending circumstance was not
made known to the wretched mother.
ROMANTIC DEATH—A few
since, a young man and a girl were found
hanging on the same tree, in the wood of
Yessmet, France—The former was named
Honore Noel, aged 25, and the latter Victo
ire Herrior, aged 19—It appeared they lov
ed, and were equally desirous of intermarry
ing; but their parents obstinately opposed
the union—The Mayor of Chalet, received
a letter from this unhappy couple, signed by
both, intimating, that in consequence of the
above, they were determined to die together.

Correspondencebetween the Massachusetts Peace

Gallitzin.
FROM THE CORRESPONDING SECRETARY TO
THB EMPEROR.
Brighton (near Boston .) April 9, 1817.
Sir—The friendly disposition which yon
have manifested in favor of the Christian reli
gion and the peace of the world, has encour
aged this address—The very week in which the
Holy League of the three sovereigns was offi
cially announced in Ru: s a, a society was formed
in Boston, by the name of the Massachusetts
\ Peace Society, the object of which is to tiis
i seminate the very principles avowed in the
wonderful alliance, and to do whatever may be
lawfully done to prevent the recurrence of war,
and to promote peace on earth and good will ‘
among men.
I take the liberty to present a copy of all the
publications which have been circulated by the
society—From these you may obtain informa
tion of the state of the society, the number of
its members at the close of the first year, and
its prospects—The first Annual Report, and the
list of officers and members, are contained in
the seventh number of the Friend of Peace-
Many members have since been added—a new
society has since beer formed in the State of
New Yoik—At least four Peace Societies have
been organized in the United States—others are
about forming—Besides these, we have in our
country nearly one thousand congregations of
Friends or Quakers, which we regard as so
many Peace Societies by profession and prac
tice.
The pamphlets your Majesty will be pleased
to accept, as a token of the veneration and es
teem in which your character is held by the
friends of peace in this country.
In behalf of the Massachusetts Peace Society.

His Majesty Alexander,
Emperor of all the Russias.
THE EMPEROR'S ANSWER.
Sir—Your letter in behalf of the Massachu
setts Peace Society, with the books accompany
ing it, were received—The object which this
Philanthropic Institution has in view, the dis
semination of the principles of peace and amity
among men, meets yrith my cordial approba
tion—My endeavors to promote peace and
good will among nations are aheady known; 4
and the power and influence which Almighty
God has committed to me, shall ever be em
ployed, I trust, in striving to secure to the na
tions the blessings of that peace which they
now enjoy.
Considering the object of your society, the
promotion of peace among mankind, as one so
eminently congenial to the spirit of the gospel
of Jesus Christ, I have judged it proper to ex
press these my sentiments respecting your la
bors, in answer to your communication to me
[ on this subject. ALEXANDER.
To Rev. Noah Worcester,
Secretary of Mass. Peace Society,
Curious Stratagem.—The following article
is extracted from a German paper, in which it
is given under the head of Nuremberg:—
II A young man who had no fortune, re
quested a lawyer, who was his friend, to re
commend him to a family where he was a
daily visitor, and where there was a handsome
daughter, who was to have a large foitune.
The lawyer, agreed, but the father of the
young lady, who loved money, immediately
asked what property the young man had l
The lawyer said he did not exactly know, but
he would inquire. The next time he saw his
young friend, he asked him if he had any pro
perty at all ? “ No,” replied he. “ Well,”
l said the lawyer, “ would you suffer any one to
j cut off your nose, if he should give you 20,000
i dollars for it “ What an idea ! not for all the
j world ?” Tis well,” replied the lawyer, “ I
i had reason for asking.” The next time he saw
j the girl’s father, lie said, “ I have inquired
about this young mat,*6 circumstances. He
has indeed no ready money, but he has a jew
el, for which he has been offered 20,000 dol
lars,” This induced the old father tc consent
to the marriage, which accordingly took place,
though it is said, that in the sequel, he often
shook his head wher. he thought cf the jewel,
