'rlif* avidity with which the new novel
Ci’ Kenilworth has been received by tin
puMic, must reader any illusiration of its
contents in smut- degree interesting, h
is well known that the author has been in
debted to tnir old chronicles, historians
and other writers, tor the mimitae of des

These details have been much heightened
by the pen of the novelist, and it will be
pleasing' to many of our rcade stn know
that much of the solemn and gorgeous
display tis the Elibeihean age as depicted
in “Kenilworth" can be confirmed by the
testimony of vt tli i s of that period.
Among these, the following description"
of Queen Klizaheth and Her Court from
Hie pen of l*au! Hculzncr, a German tra

Further particulars. —Bonaparte may ne
said to have died heroically than other
wise, as ih- pain arising from the disease
must have been very acute, ami he never
uttered a complaint. He refused medi
dicine as useless, and stated, a month pre
vious to his death, that he should never
ri-efrom his bed again. At that period
he also said that he was confident, lie
knew better than the surgeons what his
disease was, and that it was the same
that his father died of. The pain that it
gave him he described as if a knife had
been ran into his body and broke short
off, the wound closing externally after
wards. A few hours previous to the dis
ease, he is said to have gradually drawn
his hands from his sides, and to have
clasped them over bis breast, doubtless
off ering up a prayer at the same lime ; he
then released them, and they ieJl into
their former position. During .the latter
part of his illness, Jus eyes Were constant
ly fixed on the full length portrait of his
son, which was hung up by his request
at tiie test of lushed, ami seems that his
attachment to the child was very great.
The la*t words of Bonaparte have no J yet
been recorded; they were ntttered in a
• state of delirium, but still show what
was working in his mind :—*Mon fils'
were the first words, and afterwards the
murmured what seemed to the hearers to
he HeteiT armed * He shortly afterwards
said, * Fiance,* and never spoke again.—
Idle head and face of Bonaparte were im
mensely large in propootion to his body;
they may with great propriety be said to
be-only parts that could lie imagined, but
from the extreme heal of the climate,
the decay was so rapid, that shortly after
wards the features collapsed, and at die
time he was laid in slate, after his

undergone a to’a! alteration. Tlisbody
was altogether mean; homes very small,
and very little muscle, lie was very fat
even at the lime of his death.
On opening him, his heart was found
very small and feeble,and loaded with fat;
his liver was large, and one of his kidneys
reversed. It seems that he would have

except from a slight irritation, naturally
to be expected at this part of the liver,

It is stated' in .in advertisement Which
we publish to day, that the dead body ofa
man, sewed up in a blanket, was found
floating in Pasquotank river, near Joshua
Sawyer's landing, (in Camden County N.
C ) upon which a murder had been com
mitted, evidently by a man named Joseph
Sel’owhj: ’fhe circumstances of this al
fair are not u little remarkable, and serve
us another instance of a providential agen
cy in the dcvelopement of this worst of
crimes, eveli though it be concealed by
all the art and ingenuity which fear of
punishment can lend to the guilty perpe
trator.
About the first of this month, Joseph
Yellowdy, alias Captain Yellowly, (for lie
has been a ship master) departed from
this place in a canal boat for Plymouth,
N. C. taking with him a matt (not known
by n?me to any one in this place, that we
can learn) as a passenger. Fhe boat vus
detained u short lime at Uiver Bridge,
where, it was ascertained and reported to
one of thq hands on board of her, that
this passenger ha I a very large sum of
money about him, On the 4lh the boats
reached Sawyer's landing, wl ere there
was a pile of.stones, a few of which they
took ok board, as they stated, for bal.ust,
although admonished by Mr. Sawyer, not
to lake them, as he wanted them for a
particular purpose. Amo. g the stones
thus taken by Yellowly, was one having
some peculiarity'about it, wh en render
ed it remarkable, and easy to be identifi
ed by any one who had ever seen it.
A few days after Yellowly had touched
al nit landing, the discovery was made nf
the floating corpse. It appeared to x have
been slabbed in die throat with a large
knife, directly across the jugular vein;
ami upon a further examination it was
found that the neck had been broken.—
From a considerable rip in the sewing of
the blanket, it was supposed that some
heavy weight had been sewed up with the
body to sink it, and that, the sewing hav
ing given way, the weight fell out and
permitted the body to rise to the surface,
of the waier. This suggestion was soon
confirmed by a circumstance which at the
same time disclosed the author of the
bloody deed; for. ou opening the blanket,
a stone dropped out—and, strange to say!
the identical stone we have just describ
ed as so remarkable in its appearance,
wlii- .h Yellowly and his people had take.i,
among others, v r nom Sawyer’s landing..!—
Had it been a common ope, which might
have been picked up any where else as
well as at Sawyer’s lauding, it is probable
that suspicion as to. the muni ore would
have bvensilent,& further enquiry deemed
unavailing—but being susceptible of im
mediate identity', the inference from the
circumstance of its removal, in connec
tion with the murder, became infallible.
Nor is is less worthy of remark, that all the
stones which were sewed up in the blan
ket wkh the body, should have droppt-d
through the rip, and been lost, save tins
particular one, which seems to have
been specially reserved by the same in
scrutible agency which saved it to be d“
laclied from ita depository at the landing,
to bear witness to this horrid! Thus can
Providence make even the stones to cry
mt against the guilty murderer!
It was farther proved, that the cay af
ter Yellowly passed the landing, there
was one person less in tUe boat with tun
than was seen on board the preceding
<lav; and that the missing person was Tie
who was said to be a passenger, and who
was reported to have had a large sum of n
money about him No particulars what- .1;
ever respecting £this person have trans. n
pired;nor have we heard what became I
of the canal boat and the hands. It up- I
pears however that Yellowly, for the ap- s
prehension of whom a warrant \va» issu- 1
ed, has fled. f
It is proper to remark of this man, that \
those who have had any transactions with I
him in this place, believed him to be up- (
right in his conduct and incapable of a t
crime so atrocious. So favorable ndeed i
is the report we have had i f him, that al m
though we have been in possession ot the ,
above particulars for more than » week,
we declined publishing them until we
could do so upon official authority.

BONAPARTE.
Further particulars in relation to the
death of this great man, will be found in
our columns of this morning. The revi.
lings which many of the English, and, we
are sorry to say, some of the American
prints, have poured out upon bun, are, to
say the least of them, unmanly and unjust:
The evil which men dr, live, after them,
“ The good is oft tiller’d with their hones ”
The “ head and front” of Bonaparte’ 3
offending, was ambition ! and " grievously
has he answered it.” When the impartial
historian shall trace his luminous career*
the cotemporary monarchs of his time,
will sink into shade, and he only impor
tant in the grand drama of his political
life, as tl. - creatures cf his policy, or the
agents of his will.
Let Bonaparte be taxed as the usurper
of governments, and the abrogaior of trea
ties, still will he stand as one umlefilcd
when p’.aced, by tits side of the Potentates
of Europe. Fhe first interference of the
allied sovereigns, (Prussia, Sweden and
Russia,) in the international concerns of
France, for the purpose of restoring its
antient despotism, was an act so replete
with folly and injustice, that it justified
the terrible retribution which pursue '
them and their auxiliaries, even until.the
abdication of Bonaparte. What' he mere fn/
allies would have dune, the humane mam
festo of the Duke of Bi unswick plainly in
dicated ; it united the French people how
ever, and implanted in them a deadly ha
tred against the lawless usurpers—They
were scourged, until every pore dropped
blood; and their signal discomfiture an
disgrace, it might have been rational.y
supposed, would have deterred them
from again interfering with the internal
concerns of France. But, no—-maddened
to desperation, a more powerful confede
ration was got up—and France, “ the mi
niature kingdom of the world,” through
the defection of allies, and the treachery
of friends, was despoiled of her greatness,
and shorn of her glory.' Dazzled by the
splendor of his renown, Bonaparte fell
beneath the weight of confederated
Europe ! and left fa posterity a history us
eventful and interesting as the fabled tales
of chivalry.
The introduction to the garbled extract
made from the last Chronicle, by the re
ceived editor of the “Advertiser,” is un
worthy cur attention. It not only met the
decided disapprobation of ihe ostensible
Editor of that paper, but elicited from
him an expression of regret, which dhi ho.
nor to his fec'ings. We can only look on
’Squire Hannan as a mere supernumerary
automaton —incapable of dgnified resent
ment. But we have too great a regard
for the character of the “ Advertiser,” to
recognize him ;.s one of its Editors: and
too much rispect for the feelings of
others, to visit his sins upon their heads.—
We would however observe, en passant,
“ pass not the Iberus!”

Mi liti. ilesules several parlies scouring
the conn ii ; there were about 125 men
at Tort Bolivar, which is in a good state
iii dtlence, having some pieces of wry
heavy cannon mounted, The indepen
dents there were in correspondence with
the people of St. Antonin, and other
towns in the Provincial Internal. The
htest accounts from the interior gave
assulances that the cause of indoosntl
er.ee would he supported by the whole
of the population.
A Mexican armed cruiser was lying at
Galveslown. She is a large schooner
mounting nine guns ; had lately been ve
ry successful against the Spaniards, and
was full of coh nial produce.
Smuggling in those parts ia carried on
with a high hand A negro trader with
about 200 slaves on board, lately landed
her cargo at a small river this side of
Galveston. Dry goods and West India
produce are often introduced by mean*
of the different bayous,
due CuiTanciaii Indians were appar
ently in considerable force ; near 2Jh tire*
were counted along the coast. Our in.
formants having lauded on an island in
the Biy of Matagorda, discovered mark*
>d the cruelly of those cannibals. A post
driven into the ground, appeared burnt
all around, and on one side thmv hung
part of a man’s arm nailed to the wood.
Not far off a wr.ck was seen, which be*
ing all of cedar, was probably Spanish.
Whilst noticing the affairs of Texas,
we cannot well avoid remarking that if
political motives, some years ago, induced
t ,e President to seize on Amelia Island,
the same reasons, but in lei fold greater
force, civil for the occupation of Texas.
A great number of our citizens have
gone and are going there. The country
has no regular sy stem of laws. Bauds of
armed men speaking our language, ho

The sea-coast is the most favorable that
can wel be imagined for smuggling.
Numbers are founded now a days above
the dull pursuits of civil life, and noth ng
but the strong arm of power and the most
energetic measures will, in similar circum
stances, ensure the observance of the law*
ot nations and those of the United Slates-
If common report is not a most bare-faced

as great a bead here as in Spain itself.

sembled in Congress, immediately after
the imprisonment of Napoleon, a protest
was given in by Live Empress Maria Louisa,
in which she contended that her son was
the only legitimate heir to T.ic crown
of France, in right of bis father, and that
the Bourbons had been exclu led, not on
ly by their own act and deed, but by
majority < f the nation, who h.d invested
Napoleon with the sovereign p over. Whe
ther ibis claim will be revival at the pre
sent moment, it is, perhaps, difficult to
say Austria may think it p? orient to wait
the tleC-ase of the French King before
moving in the business. But when the
principles of that government and its in
satiate desire f>r an cxtcus.on ol territo
ry are considered, it does appear to u*
dial the me .sure resorted lo by the Em
press Louisa must have been dictated at
her father’s court, with a firm intention
of acting upon it when a favoiable oppor
tunity occurred. It is even far from be
ing improfile that the Emperor Alexander
may have been brought over to concur
in the wishesof Francis. The latter may
have agreed not to oppose the designs of
the former upon Turkey, in consideration
of taking to place the young Napoleon up
on the throne of France.
