Irom the July number of the (London) New
Monthly Magazine,
Talma mentioned to me some singular
circumstances of Bonaparte, which may
be of interest, as they are tl**riveil from
an authentic source. The early acquain
tance orTaluia with Bonaparte originated
from his passion for the stage. Talma
had an opportunity of gratifying it, by giv
ing him free admissions, when the finan
ces of thr to be” were too limited
lik a fvtpient indulgence in what every
Frenchman considers as almost a necessa
ry of lile. Their acquaintance soon ripen
ed into familiarity, and tfie hours which
w •>•** not devoted to their respective pro
fessions, were often passed together.—
Thevtisetl frequently to stroll through the
streets of Pari-, in the evening. Bonaparte
was so immoderately fond of coti’-e, that
he Could not refrain from enteri; g every
tavern hi which his favourite beverage could
be procured. Ilislovefor it arose from it*
exciting qualities.—Alter he had swallowed
la’g'* draughts, and woen his spirits wot
a wakened intft unusual vivacity, he ind ul
ged in all sorts of ambitious speculation.
Ht*friend could no. help smiling at the
coniidence with whicli he predicted his lu
tuie greatness, for he was ever commercing
With futurity, and by anticipation “ was al
ready a gieat mao. All iiis notio * were
vast and daring; und he expressed himself
in wild and dreamy imagery, which w.i>
well suited to hits high and aspiring;
thoughts. Talma said, that at this time;
his conversation was nearly O-sianie bnini
vTiich I took occasion to inqu ie fr in him I
jf it was true that Bonaparte had so much’
partiality foe the writer, whom lie litdej
suspected for a modern Scotchman, who,
had arrayed his conceptions in the misis
of his own grey hills, and contrived to im
pose upon the world in this ingenious atwd
fan Us tic masquerade. Talma did not
auom to be quite pleased at my being sc
incredulous of the authenticity of the fa
vourite author of his imperial friend; for hej
assured the, that from the earliest* period .}
their acquaintance, he remembered Bona
parte's passion for wtiat he considereil* a>
among the sublimest fragments* of antiquity.
Housed to carry a small edition of o*i;n
about him. N ■ doubt,the style more or
Jess communicated something of its own
colour tonis mind; and w* may account
fir the occasional hyperbolyi t be found
in Ins public documents, by r furring them
to that very likely source. I asked Talma
whether Bonaparte s temper was as violent
before he attained his elevaton, ns it was
jtaid to have been afterwards, lie denied,
and that with no little warmth, that his
temper nad ever been remarkable for its
vehemence, and asserted, that on the con
trary, though subject to gusts ot a sudden
and transitory kind, he was generally ijen
tla, and exceedingly good- iatu<ed. Asa
proof ofit. he mentioned the deep attach
ment of all those who were immediate y
about Ins person. Talma was often much
affected in speaking of the man, who had
loaded him with favours, a>.d upon one oi
two occasionsdie was moved even to tears
Hr could not lu*l|> admitting the evils
which Bonaparte had inflicted, and that he
\. as a foe to liberty; but at the same time
he -..lid, *hat those who knew him best in
dulged in tile.hope ilia’ age might have
calmed hisambiiion, and given his mind
a more pacific cast—an opinion which,
from politeness, I did not care to coo ro
vert. Talma always found a ready access
to Bonaparte, even in the days of hi* Ijf
tiest prosperity. The emperor used to
chat with him, with a!! the familiarity of
an oil acquaintance; lie inquired minutely
th • concerns of the theatre, .mil
ijiVoU jijjn the subject with a teal and un
*iapaired delight—Corneille was B ma
parce’s favouute dramatist; and of all his
. works, In* chiefly admired Ciena. It oc
carfsl |o mts indeed, when I saw that no
ble tragedy, that the sentiments it con
%d mjst ttive been greatly agreeable to
to hfoi .* tne evils of a republic, and the
that one strong hand shook! * >tz.‘
the rents m turualeut and distracted limes,.
are strongly inculcated. Talma played |
Augustus f.>r the fi.st lime whilst I was Mil
Bails, and to Lafmid, who had till thenl
performed the former part, Ciena wasj
committed. There was a rivalry between |
the two actors, whiph gave additional in
. terest Ur the pe fo-mance. Talma soon
left competition at an immense distance,
and carried all the applauses of the house,
which wax crowded to excess. The deep-
est emotion was produced among the
spectators, by* (he many references to :
the scenes of Roman conception, whictil
afforded a painful association with whatj
they had themselves so recently behekl.— j
The terrific descriptions of the poet, given!
wi'h all the power of the most inasteriy
declamation, approached, at moments, to
the vividness of re.tity. Scarce a senti
ment ws* uttered which did nut find an
echo in every bosom around me, and I;
could not refrain from praying, that in the!
theatres of my own country I should never
be a wi'ness to emotions derived from any
kindred cause. Talma appeared to me,
in his personation of Augustus, to. aim at
presenting some shadows of Bunapart.—
Indeed there was a vehemence and abrupt
ness in his ac ing, s> little conformable
with my own ideas of rhe character,
thatl was satisfied th-t lie intended to
poiirtrsy the product of ‘hVrrtsftluCon.—
Talma afterwards mentioned that Cinna
was the play which Bonaparte chiefly lik
ed; arid that one day, after witnessing its
representation, he mentioned, that the
depth and justice of the political reflections
which evciy where occur in the writings
of Corneille, had so much impressed him
with admiration for the genius of the poet,
that if he hid been living in his time lie,
would have made him his prime minister.
AGRICULTURAL.
The following’ observations of a Vermont Far-1
mer, show that we should consult our real inter
est, as well as the finer feelings of our nature,
by defending the innocent robin Irom the attacks
jof both boys and men There are also other
! kinds of birds who prey on the insects w 1 ich de
vour our crops, and whose industry would amp <’
reward us for protecting them.— Farmer** Juu .
“I know of no method whatever to extirpate
this larger species, which human ingenuity can]
devise. But I ‘rovidence seems to have provided j
an antidote to this evil, in the rubean a or com
mon Robin. This innocent and useful bird prej s
with peculiar avidity upon his species of worin.i
This fact mav be ascertained bv visiting a nest of !
v oung robins in the vicinity of a corn field, when 1
it will be perceived that they are fed lavishly up .
jon this kind of worm At other times this bird)
ifeed upon different species of worms and bugs,:
I which are found upon the surface of the ground,!
I which services arc of immense value and benefit]
|to the farmer, and ought to recommend it to his
|peculiar care and patronage. But its imio-f
.cence andutilitx are inadequate to protect it,from,
the wanton cruelt- of boys and sport-men.
What immense numbers of these our benefactors
are annually destroyed through mere wantonness
and cruelty, while we are constantly hearing of.
the lavages of wo “ms and hugs in the various de- 1
partments of vegetation, Rveu whole corn-fields j
,have been laid waste the present season by this;
larger species of worm, which calamity might
have been obviated by having spared and foster-j
;ed the robin The utility, in fact, f this invalu
j able bird; is so obvious, that even legislative in- j
I lei'ference is imperiously demanded to rescue it j
! from the bloody fangs of the fowler. Other states:
[have their protecting laws for the benefit of in- j
;nocent and tisefu birds, and why should we be]
j distanced in the sacred cause of humanity? The,
; subject -nay appear trifling and novel at first hut!
a little reflection wi 1 cornice any one that it is by I
no means unimportant.”

the rapid progress New-York is making toward

Capt. Barnes cf the brigantine Geoige
Beckwith, (arrived in Hampton Roads on
Wednesday) from Ponce, states, that the
seas about Porto Rico are annoyed with
I Spanish privateers, and that iheir depreda-;
jtions are so frequent and vexatious, that a
ivessel, however legal may be her pursuits,!
|is not by any means safe if she is fallen in
with bv them. The biig “General \. Jack
son, Largdon, of and fium New-York for
Cnracoa, was fallen ir. < *'ith by a felucca of
this description, when, after overhauling
[lter papers, they were pronounced spurious
or false, ‘lie privateersmen declaring that
ihey knew she was bound to the Main, and
[immediately proceeded to rob and plunder
Capt. Laogdon, in whose possession, how
ever they tound only sixteen doubloons in
money, which they soon deprived him of,
took his vessel into P nee fur trial, which
was progressing when the G Beckwilk
sail-d. and there was lit le doubt but slm
would be condemned. Before (he priva

Ponce, they deprived Capt. La"gd<m of
his command ha ing fi'st beaten him n a
most unmerciful manner ever his fare and
every part of his body, and Mien turned
him ashore—and when Capt. Baines saw
him, which was just as he sailed, he was

for the provinces bevond the seas, a lop'ed nearh
tlje whole of them as follows: Government are

to afford protection to the utmost extent of their i
power, to the persons and property of the parti.!
zansof the mother country, whether they wish!
; to come o\ er to the Peninsula, or choose to re-1

The committee further reported upen, and the
Ortes likewise approved of, the following’ pro
position n rule liv one of their members*—
That, in order to keep up and draw closer: nd
closer tire relations between America and tire

Commercial inte icourse between lire two coun
tries, goveinno nt shall authorise its agents to en
ter into conventional treaties of commerce wit It
those provinces, on the basis which it shall lay |
down in its instructions.
In consequence of a note presented by the
British minister to the Spanish government, the
fortes have empowered the latter to make suita

convicts in the Baltimore Penitentiary,
and a number of persons in and out of tiie

which means, an organized system of j
counterfeiting and altering hank note'-;!
was established in the Penitent'ary.~~
thirteen pfates, os rather parts of plates,
of five, ten, twen’y and sis y dollar bills,
for altering genuine notes of lower deno
