From Cobbett's Political Register of August 12.
TO NAPOLEON.
When the motion was made in the Tribunate of France
to confer on you the title of emperor, and for making
that title hereditary in vour family, Carnot, in opposing
the motion, asked, “whether it was to grant the First
Consul a reward for his services in the cause of liberty,
to offer to him the sacrifice of that liberty; whether to
Confer this title on him -was not to destroy his own wo'k,
and, possibly, himself in the ena? What, said lie, is liber
ty, then, disclosed to man only that it may never be en
joyed; onlv to be snatched from his sight? W e are told
that this measure is necessary to consolidate the govern
ment; but, as all history shews, a government by one
individual, is not in the smallest degree a pledge oi sta
in lity. The example of the United States of America
has proved the practicability of uniting freedom with
order; and the high destinies, to which that nation ap
pears to be called, leave no doubt remaining as to tin
existence of these important truths.”
Tills is the season to recal these'truths to your mind,
but not for the purpose of insult or reproach, but for
that of justifying the principles of liberty. As long us
vuu fought under her banners, victory was your inse
parable companion, and tiie gratitude of millions placed
jhe laurel on your brow. From the moment that y ou
associated vour name with tiiat of kings, you began 10
sink in the estun tion of mankind; and when you, at
lust, allied yourself with them, mixing even your legions
with the.r’s, the eye was unable to follow you .11 tile ra-
ul.ty of your fall. Afforded a chance of revival, iv. 11
rom a state of captivity and Dainshmcnt, so bet ply I1..1
vou imbibed the infection, that the empty title wa> re
sumed. Nay, when the voice ot fate had apparently
pronounced vour eternal sectusion, you must stm Hand
over vour abdicated name to your child.
Charge not liberty, tneref re, with toe injuries, the
Srnsuits, the base opprobrium, the horrid denunciations
to which, through the Enff.sh press,you have now been
exposed. Charge not her with these, the natural ofl-
ouiing of cowardice in t,he iiour of triumph over the
tvrave. Charge them on your own desire to rule as a
muster, where you ought to have administered as a srr-
•vant; and es,x-o.ally to your m re inexcusable desire to
t^ik' rank amongst, and to make common cause with
those whom the French nation had Commissioned you
to go fortli and destroy'.
While seated on your throne, in gorgeous roues, sur
rounded by bowing coronets and mitres, the president
of America, had he appeared ill his simple attire, would
have seemed to you a being, founded by nature solely
for the humbiest offices of life. Let those who prize
external grandeur; lefhlio.se who d* sire to rule as mas
ters of men, now behold you subdued by, your person
yctually in the hands of, and, as is asserted, about to be
imprisoned for lift- by that same power, which he, having
the hearts of freemen on his/Side, foiled in ail its hostile
attempts, and drove in a maimer which history will fear
lessly describe, from the blazing capital and desoiated
shores of his country.
Examples so striking, and illustrated by events so mo
mentous, will not, let \is hope, be lost upon you, if per
sonal freedom !i ever again to gladden your heart, and
the admiration of your great deeds, which will always
exist, be'destincd once more to restore you to power.—
Look at tiie people of America. No titles of count,
eltlke, prince, emperor, dazzle their eyes. No splendid
/show.-, no objects to g.,ze at, are necessary to remind
them of their duties and of their pasts dee" s. Contrast
this people with the miserable people of France, who,
while they stare at tiie dblumn of .lusterlitz, arc paying
a ontributic ns to pamper the soldiers of Austria, and upon
'hie very bridge ot Jena, are; trampled under toot by the
soldiers of Prussia; while their province s are i; verrun by
these Bavarians and Wurtembergcrs, whose sovereigns
were elevated to thrones by the valor anel the bioo . of
French armies under your command.
In looking buck upon mankind, on the interests of so
great a part of whom your actions have had an influence,
which class do you find to have been the most brave, the
most sincere, the most faithful, the most magnanimous?
And which the most cowardly, the most hollow, tiie
most perfidious, the most cruel? Your fate, asit will ex
cite a greater interest than any former t vent in the history
of nations, so it will produce a greater and more lasting
eliecton men's minds. It will be tiie beacon, the ever
existing warning, to every m.- n who, having the cause
of freedom consigned to his hands, shall, in an evil hour,
"be tempted to convert the valor site lias inspired to tiie
promoting of his private views of vain ambition. "That”
will it be said, “was the Took on which Napoleon split;
Napoleon, in whose name was comprised all that was
skilful, generous and brave.”
Were the friends of freedom as unfeeling as their ad
versaries, they would exult in y our fall, as the triumph
of their principles. For who is it that is fallen? Xot“the
child and the champion of jacobinism,” as you once had
the honor to be styled by the c ild and champion of cor
ruption; not the darling hero of democracy, with '• Liber
ty and Equality, or Death,” inscribed on his banners.—
No; but an emperor and king; the son-in-law of the.
house of Austria; the eulogist, the associate, the friend,
the preserver, the restorer, the up!-older, the creator of
nobles and kings. It is not Napoleon, driving the lazy
monks from their ceHs, and scattering to tiie wind the re
lics of superstition: but, Napoleon, crowned by tiie Holy
Father, re-establishing, in some degree, bishops and
priests, and daily prostrating, in his own person, the in
terests of truth before the mummeries of the Mass.*—
It is not that Napoleon, tiie FIRST CONSUL, who, in
the year 1804, formally and specifically and officially
charged the English government with the hiring of band!v
of assassins to take away his lijc; but Napoleon, the EM
PEROR, the son-in-law of the house of Austria, who, in
1815, calls that same English government “tiie most gen
erous” of his enemies.
Still, the friends of liberty cannot harden their hearts
to feelings of exultation, whe n they look back to your
wonderful efforts in her cause. When they behold you
rising up amongst the sous of Democracy, marching forth
against the privileged orders of Europe;, leaving unsub
dued not one single sovereign, ruling by divine right;
bringing them all to your feet; enlarging' the dominions
of some, curtailing those of others; stripping these of
their dignities, and bestowing new dignities oil those;
prescribing the Lioundsof their alliances, and gi\ ing their
sons and their d uigliters in marriage: wnen the friends of
liberty look back on these exploits, which have establish
ed forever tiie superiority of talent over insolent birth,
which, in dissipating prejudices, have hud the sure foun
dation of future freedom, ail your errors arc forgotten,
and, whetherto exile or to death, y.u will be followed
by thdMaflhtion anil gratitude of every brave and every
fcee iHBHPevery nation ill the world.

THE SCRIPTURES VITIATED.
The Boston Patriot, of a late date, contains U'.e fol
lowing paragraph:
“The platfor. folks of Connecticut, as they are called,
or (to speak more understandingly) that order of the
■Christian church, who are at present the almost exclu
sive holders of the public trust, are accused by their op
ponents of the episcopal, baptist, and methodist order,
or toleration school, of altering the version of the bible
and testament, so as to favor the dissemination of their
own particular doctrines.
“It appears,” says a writer in the New-Haven Regis
ter, “that an immense number of these spurious testa
ments have been scattered all over the country; and it
is to be feared that they have, in a great many cases,
taken the place in our schools of the genuine version.”
“This exposure is made at the particular request of
the editor of the above cited publication.”
Nf.w-Ori.eans, August 12.
Joseph Vidal,esq. of Concordia, opposite the city of Nat
chez, has picked and ginned cotton of thisyear’s growth.
Captain Gale, of the steam boat New-Orleans, arrived
yesterday morning, brought down one bale 360 pounds
of this cotton. It is of a superior quality, 36 cents per
pound has been offered for it. This is a very extraor
dinary production of the earth, but a few days more than
/bit months from the time the seed is put into the ground,
until the co$n is picked, ginned, bided and in the market!

v From the ffew-Tortk National Aiirotafe.
tt will be recollected, that lord Wellington, to justify
his assisting the Prussians in pillaging the museum at
Paris, wrote a long cock and ajflH story to another iotd
on the the subject, by the name Iff Castlereagh, in which
was tliis remarkable passage, or something like it:—“This
is tiie moment to punish the French nation for their ar
rogance, an, 1 togive them a good lesson of morality.” *—
Tiie following, which never appeared in print in this
country, was written by an indignant Frenchman in reply
to this in--lilting letter of the gTeat duke’s. It has been
translated bv .. friend from one of the many thousand
manuscript copies which, at that time, circulated in
France. It is feeble when compared with the original,
but we give it a place that the pnblic may know the just
estimation this 1 hie English lord, Dutch prince and
Portuguese field marshal and marquis, is held in by the
patri its of Europe. A more thorough going agent of
the woes of men than this fortunate soldier never existed.
He has aiw.ivs been foremost in tiie work of desolation.
IK-lias never been known to draw his sword or raise his
voice in tiie the cause of freedom. His ambition is equal
led onlv bv his avarice, whiie Ins successes will only be
numbered by the historian as so many exploits in favor of
despotism. What an abuse of terms to compare him
with our Washington, the enemy o tyranny and the
fuller of civil and reiigi us liberty. Tiie one will be held
up as a model for future ages, while the other will be
Lxecrated by posterity.
Paris, Movembev 20, 1815.
My Lnnu—I have read, with a mixture of indignation
and • egret, your letter to lord Castlereagh, wherein you
attempt to justify the sacking of the Museum at Paris
You fight better Jianyou write, my lord, though t! ■ prin
ciples winch actuate you in both appearto he the same—
to distress others, end fatten upon their-pods.
You have admitted that these monuments are tiie tro
phies of former victories; and permit me to say, that, as
sue!), the-y ought to have been held Sacred by a sooner.
1'iiey were the rights and fruit of conquests, nay more,
they u ere given and received in diminution of tits ca
lami'its nd contributions of war; they were as much the
prupvty of the French nation as the isie of M. ita is a
gem of the British crown.
You say the convention of 1815 made no provision for
them. Had that instrurnetv been so worded as to pre
serve them, you would no doubt have said, with all the
subtilty of English probity anti policy, that sucli a clause
was of no avail, from tiie illegitimacy of the provisional
government. But wnat s.ys the convention of 1814?—
“ That all the monuments of Paris shall be respected.” Do
circumstances alter the case—or do you feet that you do
not, as anally, owe as much to LouisXY11I. now,as you
did then—or lias the weight of his misfortunes lessened
your commisst ration for this afflicted, venerable monarch?
Fie, my lord! vou weigh die finest sentiments of the hu
man heart rather by the u-predated scales of a London
merchant, than by tiie notne feeling of a soldier, or the
g< 11. rosity of an ally. You have taken from victory its
reward—from a nation its ornaments. You have trans
ported the arts from a genial clime, to the smoke of Lon
don or the froze 11 z*.nc of the north; and though you strive
hare!, as a conquerer, to p. ss unsl
dned with the crime of
blood, you appear to court the crime of treason. Yes>—
treason, my lord? You stole into the capitol under the
unsuspected character of friend, and champion, and, after
betraying us, retired with that of a plunderer—“like a
physician wlnf'comes to cure us of the plague, white lie
engenders the leprosy teeming from his own ulcers.”
You li vjt been c died the Washington of the age; but that
ncro would have supported and followed Iiis friend to the
altar—while you, my lord, would not only abandon, but
drag him to it. It is in tiie power of the meanest to tri
umph over fallen greatness; but high and elevated minds
soar above such depravity. You have forgotten, or never
learnt, my lord, “that lie conquers twice who conquers
in victory.”
But, admitting that it was necessary for you to attempt
to justify interposing your authority, in favor of these
champions of the rights of men, tiicse magnanimous al
lies, why, after urging ail in your power to palliate your
injustice, that you might escape censure—why carry your
animosity toward us so far, as to seek to punish what yofc
arc pleased to style our arrogance. This, my lord, is the
very quintessence t.f arrogance. And tiien, our morals,
too, must receive a'esson. An Englishman teaching mo
rality to the French narion, and that, too, in a letter to
that noted Turtuffe, lord Castlereagh! Pray, my lord,
where did you imbibe these lessons of morality? On
the shores of tiie Ganges, or the plains of Hindoston;
where millions of souls, wish their legitimate sovereigns,
have been immolated, to satiate tiie thirst of British do
minion—from tiie monks of Spain, whom you assisted to
raise the funeral pile, and turn the inquisitorial wheel, to
enslave and subdue their fellow subjects—or from the
conflagration of Copenhagen, or Washington—the crime s
of Hampton, or Kingston—tiie re volting scenes of the
Chesapeake—the Hack hole cf Calcutta—or from tiie
desolating destructive policy which hangs over, and
preys upon, your native coun'ry, Irelands But I will go
no farther—you have retrieved, my lord, the character of
Napoleon, bv the relief you have given it. You have
brought into full view the odioti.-* policy of your govern
ment, tiie inveterate foe of the repose of Europe. You
have attempted to degrade our country and disgrace her
citizens; and since you could not, with your imperial
eagie-s and royal vultures, dismember and devour France,
you have sought to retard her resurrection. That resur
rection will one day come, when it m..v be her turn to sit
in judgment on yours and their crimes. In tiie-mean
time, my lord, it will be said of the confederacy, of which
you are generalissimo,
“Armati terram exercent sempercue ri rentes
“Convt etarejuvat praedas ct vivere rapto.”
“In arms they ravage the earth, and it is
“Their delight to collect the recent spoils, and
“Live on plunder.”

“On Sunday, the 2ith of May last, as the priest of the
oinshof Drumrully, in the county of Cavan, was cele
brating mass in the churclt, a number of Orangemen,
with arms, rushed into the church, and fired upon the
congregation. -They killed the priest in his garments
in the altar, and also killed your brother , and num
bers of the congregation, besides, men, women and chil
dren The remainder of them that was not killed made
their address to the magistrates for justice; but their re

ST ATE OF THE NORTH OF IRELAND.
Extract of a letter from a correspondent:—“Money has
disappeared on circuit. We are in a deplorable condi
tion. There is scarcely any thing doing. Rents there
are none to tie had, and yet the revenue must, be satisfied.
You will judge how this can be accomplished, when tiie
poor wretches accused oiler to pay their lawyers in kind.'
I was offered a tub of butter to defend a poor fellow
charged with making potteen. Another poor wretch,
who was indicted for stealing a plank, offered me half a
, ci. trout with my brief, and assured me he would pay
balance in pike.'—This is new in the annals of the bar.
I think it worthy a place in your journal: for though tiie

history of the kingdom.”
IMMENSE SACRIFICES.
At the sale oi CuO packages of British dry goods, by
Hones and Town, New York, which took place on tiie
4tii inst every article was (to use a techmcle phrase)
knocked at considerable less than first cost. The great
er part of the invoice too consisted of cloths, which ought
at this time to command a good price; but it appears
from Eldridge’s “Sale Report,” that superfines which
cost from 13 to 22s, sterling per yard, only average g3
60c, those which cost from 16 to 25s g4 50, and super
double nulled cloths which cost from 22 to 30s sterling
averaged only g5; and everything else in proportion.

SOtTTH AMERICA.
On the 27th May, it was reported in Buenos Ayres,
that general Rondeau had engaged the royalists from
Peru at and suffered a defeat, in consequence oi
which orders were given that the troops at Buenos
Ayres (about 2000) should be ready to march by the
middle of June to the interior to reinforce Rond. 1 u’s
army. On the 8th of June, 1 left Buenos Ayres and ar-
rived at Monte Video on the 14th. Information of the
Portuguese expedition fitting out at Rio Janeiro against
Monte Video was received there On the 20th, when pre
parations were immediately made to defend the place by
repairing the wads and mounting the few cannon left by
the Buenos Avrefins after tiiey had taken tiie town from
the old Spaniard^. The Portuguese vessels in tiie har
bor were embargoed, and their rudders taken on shore.
An express was immediately sent off to general Artigas,
whose instructions (if received bei.»r" my departure on
the loth July), were not promulgated, nor was it known
whether they would defend or abandon the place when
the enemy arrived. The subsequent offer, howev-
ver, of the Buenos Ayreans to assist with 2000 troops in
its defence, in .v induce them to hold out. On tiie 23a
June, it was reported tiiat the royalists under g'eneral
Pasuela had been attacked and defeated by a tribe of
Indians—(their name I Cannot now recollect)—who
have never yet been under the Spanish yoke. Troops
were sending from Monte Video to Maldinacio, a small
town about 9(J miles cast of Monte Video, and where the
Portuguese were expected to'land first, and the govern
ment of Monte Video had promised to furnish the in
habitants with arms and ammunition for their defence.—
It is the general opinion that should tiie Portuguese
make the attempt it will not be before the middle of
October; as from the first of June until that time, strong
southwest winds most generally prewal.—Democratic

PROCLAMATION.
Hutncs Ayr**, July 8.
Citizens!—When the arms of a nation, which is now
our friend, invaded this city in the ) ear IH06, you left vour
occupations to fly to the defence of tiie country..—
Throughout tiie city and even the villages every man be
came a soldier, and the undisciplined contended with the
veteran for tiie post of danger You resolved, you
fought with success, and the country was delivered from
a foreign yoke. Now that you have a constituted gov
ernment of vour own choice, and it. warns you of the-dan
gers tiiat threaten us, who will doubt your readiness to
meet them?
It lias-been said that the neighboring court of Portu
gal was about to dispatch a mysterious expedition direct
ed against the territory of these provinces. Various ac
counts agree that a short time since, an expedition of
five tnousand men left Rio Janeiro, width, it appt. rs, was
to be reinforced with another body of three thousand,
previously organized at St. Catherine, to usurp at least tiie
eastern shore of this river. The conduct oi tiiat cabinet,
bv no means frank, and tiie little interest it has manifest
ed to contradict the public report, announcing its plans,
form a powerful argument to justify our suspicions.—
Tiie government reposes, as far as prudence will permit,
upon the sanctity of the treaties of 1842, and more than
all upon tiie friendly conduct which it lias alway s observ
ed towards the monarch of Brazil and his subjects—
peace between the countries remains guaranteed out of
resoect for England; but if abusing this security, that fo
reign expedition dare to profane our territory, it is just,
it is necessary it should be made to feel the effects of our
courage andomr strength. In the mean time the sover
eign national congress, and the supreme director of tiie
state, have receivrd tiie detaiis of that serious occurrence,
and this government lias communicated to them all tiiat
has come to its knowledge.
Whilst we remain in this delicate position, and until
some formal act of aggression be committed on the part
of his faithful majesty, our natural interest is to take
every precaution tiiat can tend to make our power re
spectable, and to frustrate the m..chinations of those that
aspire to destroy it. On this head we are all of one ac
cord, and prudence shall be my guide.
Citizens! Your valor has ever been unshaken. Once
you have sworn to be free, and your enemis have had oc
casion to feel the force of that oatii. The provinces of
La Plata, have been invincible in all the invasions hither
to; the phalanxes of your adversaries have always found
their graves on our coasts, without being able to penetrate
into the country, and our history is decorated with lau
rels and trophies. Will you suffer it to be stained in our
d:. s? Prepare for unanimous, and heroic resistance—
let every one who has the honor to belong to this land
devote himself to the defence of it.
In any event, the foreigners shall see that we are not
sleeping, and they shall have to respect our virtue, our
zeal and courage. Those citizens who have not a fixed
post in the militia, will place themselves by the side of
their companions in tiie Civic Legions—Let but one voice
he heard, and let it be repeated by thousands of echoes
to the remote extremity of the provinces—at the sound
of this let every heart be inflamed—the country is in dan
ger—let us save it. Axtonio Gonzalez Balcakce.
FROM SOUTH AMERICA.
Captain Cook, of brig Active, from Rio Jaoerio, sailed
thence the 4th of July, (not so late as the Hippomcnes,
which has arrived at New-York.) The expedition from
K10 departed about the- middle of June, before captain C.
arrived there, consisting of ships ofcMiine, frigates, &c.
with, as was stated, about lffOuti troopson board; its destin
ation said to be Monte Yidoe, but it was understood thev
would stop at St, Catherine's, and remain there through tiie
rainy season or winter and go on again smie tune* in
September. The season had been violently tempestu
ous, and one frigate had been so disabled as to be tow ed
back by an American whaler: on board this frigate it was
said there were not more than a dozen real seamen. The
English and Americans who witnessed the ordinary fitting
ot the ships, and the inexpeiences and unskilful crew's
with which they were manned, hud little faith in the ex
pedition accomplishing its design; the noise* of its prepa
ration, howewtr, had already produced the effect of a
stagnation of business in the ports of the River Plate.
Captain Cook sailed front Rio in company with a squad
ron consisting of a Portuguese 74 and frigate and a Span
ish frigate cone eying to Europe the two Portuguese prin
cesses bethrothed t« king Ferdinand and his brother.—
Captain C. kept company with them five days.—Salem Ga-
IMPORTANT FROM MEXICO.
A gentleman direct from the kingdom of Mexico, and
the province of Yucatan, informs, that ail the ports of
botli kingdoms were shut against foreign flags, by a roy
al order from the Spanish governance Spanish vessels are
also forbidden to engage in any other trade than between
the mother country and the colonies. CaHipeachy v. s
alone open, for want of sufficient force to enforce tiie
order; but anew captain general, Apadcca, was daily ex
pected with 1500 or 2000 men, wiien the port would bJshut
at the point ot the bayonet, lhe royal army appears vic
torious almost every w here; the Patriots, themselves, al
most despair. In Campeachy it w as reported, that there
were eleven privateers belonging to the patriots in the
bay ot Mexico, that had captured a number of Spanish ves
sels, and had sent the crews to Campeachy. [Governor
Apadoca has since arrived at Vera Cruz, but the inhabi
tants refused to acknowledge his authority, ana detained
him and his suite prisoners.]—-Yew Fork paper.
ENGLISH WEAVERS, Sec.
A letterfrom Bolton of July 27, to a gentleman in this
city, states many particulars of the rate to which wages
and goods had fallen, and adds tiiat the weavers there,
not so badly off as those of Munch, ster and Stockport,
have 2,500 warps less sized per week than formerly: con
sequently about 10,000 pieces fewer are made per week
in the neighborhood.
“Our houses, he says, are infested hourly with the lamen
tation of the starving children of unemployed weavers,
while our ears are dinned with the noise of the chariot
wheels of our representatives returning amongst us after
an arduous session, in which they voted by acclamation
to a German called Saxe-Cobourg 180,000? for one year,
(about as much as would support an American president
30 years) for taking Miss Bull to wife, and providing or
ns a continuation of the hlessings derived from German
connexions. This is the plight of this boasted land,
