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 common cause of all the enemies of free government.— His great talents, his greater renown; the admiration which tps deeds in arms naturally excited, and especial ly in a people like the French; the gratitude which the ferreaHy wtisr, it was absq|&eiyijecesoanr,: Europe, should consist.8f * aefi of- small despotise pendant on hiim If k uieref(^fe, hiapSoWer had Once — consolidated by the adoption -of a scheme, such I have, mentioned above, the Cause of freedom, in Etupope, at* least, must havb perished, if he had lived fer twenty or. thirty ^ J .* , “By. hia fall a chance has beenafTorrfed ofjseejlflig better days.

The pillaging'of the gaileTies and-museums and breaking up of the national schools and institute, thotS%ll the acts, in themselves, are 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. Petersburg.” LATEST FROM ENGLAND. Boston, September 5.

It is said in the Times of the 22d, that upwards of 29,000 English were at the last accounts in Paris.

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 ncapabie of administering it, she either hangs th tI „ me England, or transports them to Botany Bay.

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.

And it came to pass after these things, that Abraham sat in the door of his tent, about fee going dow n ot die sun, 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.

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.
