* ANECDOTES.
A swaggering son of John Bull walked into the steam
boat Hotel in New-York, called for his beer, and gazed
meanwhile with apparent mortification, at the elegant
framed prints of our naval victories which adorn the bar
room “I don’t see any thing of the frigate Chesapeake
and Shannon—-(said he) where are they?”—“Oh! said the
facetious land-lord they are gone to New-Orleans, to con.
vey home the killed and Wounded of our enemies.*’
A British officer walking with an American lady in
-sight of the docks, soon after the late peace—-“There
•(said the officer, pointing to an American nag) is what we
formerly called the grid iron."—“1 should suppose (repli
ed the lady) that the name was peculiarly applicable now,
since so many of your countrymen ^ve beenbroiled on it.”
An old coquet and slanderer, is'like a rose bud in win
ter, the flowers and leaves are decayed and nothing re
mains but the thorns.
Politeness.—To appear very friendly to a person, but
secretly to wish him at the north pole.
To make love—Talk nonsense.
NAPOLEON, i
Some of our readers have doubtless been surprised,
that a cabinet council should have been called by the
British ministry, immediately on the arrival of a vessel
from St. Helena. They may recollect the subject of some
conjectures which we hazarded some time ago, merely
-as conjectures. We observe that Cobbett, in his 21st
number, has been indulging himself in a train of ideas
very nearly of the same complexion, . He does, indeed,
apeak of Napoleon in rather harder terms than we have
been accustomed to see, as proceeding from his pen.
The extract, however, is curious, and to such of our
readers who may not read the Register, will doubtless be
interesting.—Southern ■Patriot.
“But, let us trail along in this state of misery for four
9T five years, then let the French people rise, and what
are we to do? Can we add another thousand millions to
our debt? No; we must leave the French people to set
tle their own affairs in their own way, and suffer their
example to spread in all directions. Here, then, is the old
ground of alarm to our system again staring it in the face
and with tenfold terrors. . In this eaoe, J should not be
at all surprised to see Napoleon brought back by our go
vernment, upon condition of his making a league with it
against the rights and liberties of England and Ireland; a
league, which I am not sure that his love of title would
suffer him to reject. It is quite surprising to what
lengths he carried his delicacy towards all royal houses.
He never suffered any of the shameful and foolish acts of
the prince of Wales or duke of York to be exposed in
the French newspapers, though he and his wife were
here exhibited in die most odious light; and every suecies
•of anecdote related regarding them whether true or fajse.
Indeed, there was a book, called, “Public Charters of
France,” which contained even the most indecent stories.
This forbearance of Napoleon was called “magnanimity.”
It was, however, of the wrong sort. It wasof that sort
Which induced him to spare the despots, and'the despotism
too, of Russia,’Austria, Prussia, Bavaria, and many others.
It was of that sort, which induced him to marry the
daughter of an old despotic house, to cram his relations
into the royal families of Europe, and to be himself an
emperor, it was vain ambition, and not magnanimity.—
“Guerre aux Tyrants/” was the word; and, as soon as
dial was dropped, the cause of freedom and of France be
gan to decline. He had a right to employ the press of
France in the exposing of the oppression of this govern
ment, and in exhibiting thisfamiiy in its true light. And,
•t any rate, it was his duty to permit the press of France
•thus to avenge the insults of the indefatigable hired press
•of England. When once a man has been seized with
the execrable passion of hereditary sway, he is not easily
cured. The malady resembles that which proceeds from
thebiteof a mad dog. Therefore, in the contingency
•above supposed, I should hot wonder to see him make a
league with our Boroughmongers for the keeping of them
in possession of their usurped power. That such a league
would berproposed to him by this government is my
decided opinion. This is not my opinion only.—
It is the opinoin of many others, and those, too, per
sons df great political judgm ent. It is very certain, that,
previously to the first fall of Napoleon; that is to say,
about 1811, a scheme was on foot to make such a league
with him; and, it was whispered about, that the scheme
had, at one time, actually assumed some consistence. As
a symptom oftbU, was cited his ili-treatment, or, at least
his neglect, not to say contempt, of the Irish refugees.
At the time here spoken of, the tyranny here seemed to
be in a very desperate way; and, if the enormous bribes,
which Percival strewed in Russia, had failed of their ob
ject, the league with Napoleon would, I have ifc> doubt,
have been concluded. The continental system was real
ly working the destruction of this tyranny. The Span
iards had been cajoled and bribed in vain. Nothing
could be moved in any part of Europe, except in Russia,
where the court was averse from a breach of the treaty of
Tilsit. But the nobles, who are also the princip j mer
chants, were gained over; and the “magnanimous Alexan
der” was compelled to break his treaty with France; that
treaty to which he probably owed his crown and his life.
<ioo<j luck attended that breaob. The despots, upon see-
ing the fortunes of Napoleon begin to change, and upon
being amply supplied with English money, once more ral
lied, and the league between the English tyranny and Na
poleon was rendered unnecessary; else, it is iny belief, that
it would have taken place. And, indeed, this would have
tyeen a grand resort! But it would have failed in the
eqd; and sQ will any scheme which slvull not include the
secure existence and prosperity of the paper money
thftnmoth, on which everything, not onlySn England,but
in all Europe, depends, as far as regards the Cause of
freedom."
"IT Napoleon had remained in power, there might have
beeh better ground for the processions and thanksgiv
ings of the malignant Cossacks of New-England. If he'
had been firmly seated in his empire of the west, he
might have handed it down, twenty or thirty years hence,
to his son, a branch-of the house of _ Austria. In the
mean while, he had given proofs of his desire po make

what I have before described them fo be; w ill produce
great good. They were, without being intended to be
such, acts of justice towards the armies and Hie republi
can assemblies ‘of France. The Bourbons lrad no right
to retain what was won by the valor and wisdom ut'riiose
whom they accompanied, foreign armies to overthrow.
They had no nght to possess the column of Auaterhtz,
or the bridge of Jena. There they are, as they ouglii
to be, with nothing but their guards and their priests as
embellishments. They can never do a millionth pan of
the mischief that Napoleon, settled down a despot, would
have done. Under him despotism would have bound
men with gilded chains. Now, she comes with bare iron
to manacle them. The charm is taken away.
“Weil,” say the Cossacs, “but, after all, tills despotism
is the the natural end of revolution.” Oh, no! For, this
was not the case in America: ami, I should be put in jail
for many years, if 1 were to saj, that it was the c.,se in
England. On the contrary, we,; cull our’s a “glorious re
volution;” and, if it be a glorious deed to pace off a king
and his family in England, and to make it treason to ad
here to him, why may it not be glorious in any other
country? But, this is not the point. The point is, whe
ther any other revolution ought to be attempted, seeing
that the French revolution has ended in the restoration
of the old despotism; or, as your Cossacs have it, in the
return of the “legitimate sovereigns.” Why, yes, to be
sure; or, at least, tins is no reason why another revolu
tion ought not to be attempted. Was it ever yet held as
a maxim, that merely because a man has failed in any un
dertaking he ought never to undertake the same thing
again? What would become of soldiers, or of lovers, if
tins maxim was adopted! What of farmers, gardeners or
planters? What! is no new trial to be granttd in the
court of nations? Is no writ of error to be demanded in
favor of a people?
“Why, then, should not the French, or any other peo
ple, try their Hand at a retolution, if they are convinced
they have a base and wicktd crew to govern them? Be
sides, there is experience now to guide the French, if the
idea should take them. They have now seen the cause
of their failure; and, of cbitrse, are less likely to fail
again. They have now seenthe difference iii the effects
of their schemes and that of .the United States. They
have seen what that government lias been able to do in
war. With all this experience, they Would not easily
fall into their former errors. The people, too, have had
a republican education; or, at least, something approach
ing towards it. Then, again, the condition of the great
enemy of their revolution is very much changed. John
Bull would, I dare say, be as ready as eveT to pour out
upon them; but John Bull would not have the same
means as before. A nation does not a second time con
tract a thousand millions of det>t-
“It is nonesense, therefore, tf say, that the French will
never attempt another revolution. The end of the last
has not been a natural end. It has been an unnatural
end. If, indeed, the French fed been left to themselves;
if nobody had interfered withlthem; if so many nations
had not made war upon titan; if Brunswick and his
Germans had not invaded then with threats of fire and
sword. Then, indeed, the attrocities of the French re.
volution (though falling infinitely short of the attrocities
of the Bourbons, committed on the protestants of France
at various times) would hate been fairly ascribed to the
revolution; but as it w as, the whole progress of the re
volution presented nothing but war external andinternal,
until fee despotism of Napoleon came and produced in
ternal peace.
“One thing is certain;, and that is, that Europe cannot
long remain as it now is. The govern mement of England,
which is the pivot of the whole, js in such a state as to
render a change, a material change of some sort, abso
lutely necessary. And whenever any such change shall
take place, the effects of it will be; felt from Cadiz to St.

LATEST FROM ENGLAND.
Boston, September 5.
By the arrival of the brig Califta id this port last even
ing, in 40 day's from London, w< have received papers of
that city to July 23 They are extremely barren of news
of interest. The following are all the articles we have
noticed, worth copying:
July 17th, lord Exmouth left London for Portsmouth.
A ship of the line, and three bhmb ships, had sailed from
the Nore to join his lorship at Portsmouth, who was to

Despatches from St. Helena to the 6th June have been
received in England. Bonaparte was quite well.
Emigrations to France from England continued. It is
said in the Times of the 22d, that upwards of 29,000
English were at the last accounts in Paris.
Considerable difficulty is experienced in procuring
seamen to man the expedition against Algiers. Many, it
is said, emigrate to America.

The brig Calista, captain Anwell, arrived last evening
from London, and 40 daysti m the Downs. Papers to

of the duke Glouscester with Ve princess Mary was
celebrated the 22dJuly—the noble duke declined asking
parliament for a marriage doWer, his fortune being ample.

sir, continued the minister, (addressing himself to a re-
yererid' bishop of Jersey present at the ffete,) I de’clare on
my honor that this is an atrocious calumny; no individu

worship are tolerated by law, and m fu'ctall pi acts are

The day concluded in the utmost? harmony, and to the
apparent satisfaction of the minister and his respectable
guests.'
The French protestants then, we are left to suppose
•Mere persecuted on account of their politics. Those at
Nism'es were not allowed to worship God in their church
es within the city-, but places of devotion were assigned
to them out of the walls! This, so fur from alltying the
spirit of vengeance, inflamed it. We never believed that
the outrages against these people were so atrociSus and
numerous till we read the Speech of sir Samuel Romilly
on the subject in the house of commons. That! gentle
man had made a tour in France, Und was present in the
chamber of deputies when some of the most intoLerant
proceedings took place relative to this affair. The first
violence and mass..cre were committed by the duke ot
Angbiileme’s soldiers. We are glad to find that the
French minister is so ashamed: but we think him very
hardy in denying them. If there were no other evidence

honor, we should reckon that sufficient.—New York Co

THE RIGHTS OF EMIGRANTS.
The current of emigration now overflowing with a „ .
force from Ireland, England and Scotland, France n a
Germany, to the United States, is one of those practli
commentaries which history constantly bestows on th
dogmas of politicians and the wrongs bf absolute eo
ernments. England drives a large part of her ponul
tion to despair by starvation. If they seek subsist en
and indeed existence, abroad, she insists ort her right t
reclaim them under the plea of the perpetuity of o]
giancy. If goaded bn by famine and idlehess at hon
they violate laws made for their happiness, but be co

JOHN PAUL JONES.
In the Analectic Magazine for July, there it a sketch
of the life of admiral Paul Jones, which is as void of truth
as the biogmphy of Walter Scott. '
This Magazine writer informs us that John! Paul Jones
was born at Selkirk on the. 23d of September, 1747, ai«d
that his father was a tenant of the earl of Selkirk, and of
ficiated as gardner to that noble man. Now, the truth is
Selkirk is an interior town in the south of Sootland, sixty
miles distant from the residence of the earl of Selkirk;
whose house stands upon the sea shore in the shire iof
GallWay It was here that Paul Jones was born, a^id
not in the town of Selkirk. His biographer next states
“that he never -went to any regular school, and hint an old
maiden aunt, -who lived in the family taught him to read,
ami that this was all the instruction he received till the age
of nine years, when he left his home without taking leave oj
a single soul, and set forth, with the c/ethes he had on, and
no more, to seek his fortune."
It is correct that the father of Paul Jones was garden
er to the earl of Selkirk; but the account of his educa
tion is entirely erroneous. The noble earl, entertaining
a high regard for his gardener who was an old faithful
servant, took h.s son John Paul, (who at a very early pe
riod displayed proofs of uncommon talents) anil had
him educated along with his own sons under a private tu
tor, who stayed in the house, John Paul Jones re
mained in the Selkirk family until the age Ot fifteen, arid
had received a good classical education, that is, he had
received the usual Latin authors which are read in Scqt*
land previous td entering the university, together with;
little Greek. About the period that the eari’s ldestsbi
was sent to the university, John Paul Jones, from w
cause is not accurately known, left, his patron, and e:
barked on beard of a vessel for this country.
Of his adventures,'afterwards previous to his bein;
celebrated naval character, we are ignorant. It may
proper, however, to rectify one mistake which has gen
rally prevailed in regard to Paul Jones, and which a]
pears also to be the impression of the writer of the artic
in the Analectic Magazine. The mistake to which
allude is this: It is supposed that Paul Jones plund
the house of the old earl of Selkirk, Iris patron. This
nobleman, had died long previous to the American kar.
The earl of Selkirk, whom he was desirous of taxing
prisoner, was his old school associate; between whom it
is said the best harmony existed.—Petersburgh Inttlligai-
cer.
By the ship Boston, arrivedherefrom the Pacific ocean,
we learn that the ship Minerva, captain Chase, of this
port was boarded several times from the Spanish patriot
fleet in January last, commanded by admiral Brown,
who treated him very politely furnished refreshments,
&c. itc. Admiral Brown informed him that he was daily
expecting an army to attack Lima, while he attacked
Callao by water. He was then blockading Callao with a
fleet: of 2 ships, 3 brigs, and 2 schooners. Admiral
Brown had been in at Callao and exchanged a few broad
sides with the forts; the two schooners were seen at the
Gallipagos procuring refreshments. The .ships Charles
and Weymouth, of tills port had been at Valparaiso; pro
cured refreshments and sidled again without being mo

The following beautiffil imitation of the hi stored stv\ t
of the Old Testament, was written by Dr. Frankim
and by him communicated to lord Kaimes.
And it came to pass after these things, that Abraham
sat in the door of his tent, about fee going dow n ot die

And beheld a man bent with age, coming from the way
of the wilderness leaning on his staff.
And Abraham rose atid met him, and said unto him
turn in, I pray thee and wash thy feet, and tarry all night:
and thou shalt arise early on the morrow and go on thy
way.
And the man said Nay: for I will abide under this
tree.
But Abraham pressed him greatly: so he turned, and
they went into the tent; and Abraham baked unleavened
bread and they did eat.
And when Abraham saw that the man blessed not
God, he said utito him, wherefore dost thou not wor
ship the Most High God, Creator of Heaven and Earth?
And the mail answered and said, I do not worship thy
God, neither do I call upon his natne: for 1 have made
to myself a God, which abideth always in my house, -nd
provideth me with all things.
And Abraham’s zeal was kindled against the man, art*
he arose and fell upon him, and drove hirr. !ortt with

TREATY WITH RUSSIA.
We have reports from St. Petersburg and from Virs,
that a commercial treaty has been signed between the
United states and Russia; and some have thought tint
the late hasty departure of the United States’ brig Pro
metheus, with despatches for the latter, may have hs<D
connection with such arrangement between the two na
tions; about which, however, we do not profess to know
any thing.
The St. Petersburg account says, that “by this treaty,
two ports on the Pacific are guaranteed to Russia”—if
aught has been done in this respect, the whole probab.y
is a mere, establishment of boundaries on the north«e*
coast to prevent future and remote collisions.
We are pleased with these reports; they are such as
we hope may be realized. It is every way 'the interest of
the United States to be on the best terms with Russia,
and to the interest of Russia, also, to have a liberal in
tercourse with the United States.
Biit, mark the ever-watchful jealousy of England—
Though nothing more than the rumor of a treaty fail
reached London—though the editor of the Courier did
not affect an acquaintance with any of its terms—lie
feus spoke of it ,
“The American charge d’affaires speaks loudly of a
commercial treaty between his country and Russia, which
cannot but be detrimental to the mercantile world in Eng
land.”
Wretched, indeed, must be the state of England, if tl' e
United States and Russia, two such distant nations, can
not enter into regulations about their own commercial a.-
fairs, without doing something “detrimental” to Englani.;
and mean and grovelling must the mind be that wou.d
confess it, if it were so, as fee editor of fee Courier has
done.—Niles's Register.
We have just learnt that a number of young men have
recently been seduced away from this placed New-York
and Baltimore, to join fee revolutionary army in Mei£
co. A vessel, it is said, sailed from Baltimore last week
with a large number on board. They are tempted with
the offer of commissions, but their hopes of preferment
must prove illusory. They go, we conceive, to almo£
certain death.
Whatever our wishes may be for the success of the re
volutionists, and they are sincere, we do most decided 1 /
condemn the seduction of our American youth from
their homes to be sacrificed.—Philadelphia True Ameri

COAL USED IN PROPELLING STEAM-BOATS.
It gives us pleasure to learn from captain Roorbach,
of the steam-boat Car of Neptune, who made an e *P er ?
ment of coal in his last trip from New-York, that be ‘
perfectly satisfied of its answering all the puro 0 ’**
wood in propelling steam-boats. The Car, notwithitmi
ing her having met wife much detention in a first e*P
ment, performed the route in thirty-five hours. As
use of wood on board our steam-boats has greatly
hanced its price both in this city and New-York, it
