• Murat if an arrangement with Austria should
not take place.' it was expected that the Ita
lians (who hate the Austrian.) would imme
diately join the standard of Napoleon. The
people of the interior of France arc generally
in faTor of tbe present government, those of
the seaports are averse to it, but their influence
does not extend very far into the country.—
The new coitstitution is not generally liked ; it
is expected that it will not puss without
amendments.
The repulican party is still strong in France.
The rational guar-’s of some departments are
federating as in 1792, and some of the newspa
pers reprobate the measure as tending to re
vive the agitation of tbe early periods of tbe
revolution. There are those, likewise who
think otherwise, and that the government is uot
displeased at being thus, supported.
It is thought that if w4r takes place. Switzer
land will remain neutral. Out of 22 cantons,
12 only bavp voted for war, and theirconslitulion
requires jthe votes of three-fourths of the can- ' ~ l
tons before war can be declared.
We observe with pleasure that one of the
Paris papers observes that the credit of the
government of the United States stands higher
than that of any other power in the world, and
quotes as an instance of the fact, the Louisiana
6 per cents, which were then at 95.

THE VTDKTTF.
A Corns of F.nglish carabineers farmed the
escort of his holiness the Poie, on his departure
from Rome in A mil last. This must be a great
comfort to the T r ith catholics especially a* the
English noblemen and lord Bentmefc saw the
Teliques of St, John the Baptist. -These nicus
transactions must also be very interesting at
Bos’on. —
The old race of kings and noVes appear to
be of a character very different from the new.
The moment Bonaftarte apr-roached Paris, rtie
, old king moved off by moonlight: he aopears to
- have that kind of antipathy which a gal
lant American ciu—r frit Seward, cot*: ‘'guns,
drums, blunderbusses, and thunder,’* had no

trembled, as if it were, by instinct.

addresses of respect, fidelity and submission
were presented to the emperor.
The communication with England was un.
interrupted ; the packet* were regularly, ptv
injr between the two coutries, and on the 5th
of May a -number of passenger* were landed
at Calais, with the same security as before the
rcsscension of the French emporor. Tbe
fisheries are continued and although the chy
of Calais had b<en declared in a state of siege
•s a temporary precaution, tho navigation is not
molested ; no British cru'ze r » are »o be seer,
and vessels are cleared e? usual. O tb.e 5-b

as in the times of the greafes trar-qnility,

troubles had ceased and by a very se»ere de

enacted against the rebel*.
The frontiers were lined with French troops
and although all the the militia had bren cal
led out en masse there had been meetings in
every department,' and resolutions taken and
forwarded to Bonaparte expressing their sub-
miaion and their willingness to turn out to ■
man at the first call of the country, and for
that purpose every department t* rating,

On Monday Mrs. Seymour Damer had the
honor of presenting to the emperor the bust of
Charles J. Fox, in marble,'' sculptured by this
lady, who had already presented to him the
bust in plaster, after the peace of Amiens.—
She had the honor of an interview with the
emperor, who, on this occasion, told her that if
this distinguished man had lived there would
have been peace ; that the debt of England
would have been less by a millard. and many
thousands of departed men would still be alive.
Parma, April 15.
On the l?th of the month, count Majawby
arrived in this city, and published what fol
lows:
“ We the empress Maria Louisa, arch-

“ Consuls O’Brien, Cathcart, and myself,
captains Geddes, Smith, Penrose, and May ley,
proceeded from the American house to the
court yard of tbe palace, uncovered our heads, ■ ,
entered the area of the hall, ascended a wind-,
ing maze of five flights of stairs, to a narrow,
dark entry, leading to a contracted apartment
of about 12 by 8 feet, the private audienceroom.
Here we took off our shoes ; and, entering the .
cave, (for such it seemed,) with small aper
tures of light with iron grates, we were shewn
to a huge, shaggy beast, sitting on hi* rump,
upon a low bench, covered with a cushion of
embroidered velvet, with bis hind legs gather
ed up like a taylor, or a bear. On our ap
proach to him, he reached out his fore paw, aa
if to receive something to eat. Our guide ex
claimed, “ kiss the (ley’s hand l” The consul
general bowed very elegantly, and kissed it j
and we followed his example in succession.-—
The animal seemed at that moment to be in a
harmless mood ; he grinned several times, but
made very little noise. Having performed this
ceremony, and standing a few moments in si
lent agony, we had leave to take our shoes and
other property, and leave the den, without any
other injury than the humility of being ob ig-
ed, in this involuntary manner to violate the
second commandment of God, and offend com
mon decency.

Boston, June 27.
Capt. LontNG, who arrived yesterday from
Lisbon, left that city on the 21st ult. There
do not appear to have been any late arrivals
from England. War was not known to have
commenced, but was expected. A fleet of Bri
tish transports had arrived to convoy Portuguese
troops to join Lord Wellington’s army.
Tbe editor of tbe Evening Gazette has fa
vored us with Lisbon papers to the 20th of-May.
They contain no English dates later than before

TRANSLATIONS.
Barcelona, April 12.
The constitutional party in Barcelona, who
are much the strongest in numbers and talents,
are altogether in favor of the emperor Napo
leon. There are only the priests and monks
who fear his influence, but they are oniy the !
minority in power. The other party only wait j
for a favorable opportunity to speak openly and I
loudly: \
The dissatisfaction with the present govern
ment is general. It will produce some insur
rectional movements on the first occasion. Al
ready they post on placards, Long live napo
leon ! Ho more Bourbons ! Rise, liberators !
Barcelona, April 26.—Accounts from se
veral parts of the French District of Roussillon,
say that great agitation exists there in conse
quence of the rigorous orders of Napoleon, re
establishing the consolidated duties, levying a
contribution for the fortifications and to sup
ply them, and conscripting all men from 20 to
40 years of age for the army ; and all from 40
to 60 for the National Guard, and requiring
from each of the latter 50 francs to equip them.
The dislike to Bonaparte augments daily in
France, and needs but some small circum-
, stance, to show itself openly, notwithstanding
the oppression in which'the people are kept by
the troops. On the reading of some of
pyre, were for tearing open the grave that con
tained the corps of Capt:- Lawrence and scat
tering his limbs to be devoured by the fowls of
the air, on the bare suspicion that he drew hit
first breath in Great Britain! Hour happy it it
for mankind, that where nature permits suck
horrible propensities to exist in any minds, ite
power is generally feeble 1 The earth would
otherwise soon be depopulated, and the race of ",
man vanished from its surface.” f
