NAPOLEON THE FU UNGER.
On Tuesday last are Ve-publuiied from a Lon'
don paper an'account of an attempt made to as
saaainate the son of Napoleon and Maria Louisa
the palace of his grandfather the emperor of Aus
tria. We have since learned frem an officer, late
in the service of tbe king of the Netherlands, and
recently arrived in the united States, that the
tempt, above alluded to, teas not ttje first which
had teen made to pot to death Napoleon the
younger.
The following particulars of a former attempt
are giv^n to ua as authentic. It will be recollect
ed that in 1814, M Maubrieulle, was brought to trial
at Faria upon a charge of having stolen diamonds
and otter ;>meioua -tones to a very large amount
from the queen of Westphalia. On hu trial he ac-
kriowledged to have stolen the jewels, but aver
red that he was in the employ of the uuke of
Uerri, to whsm he said be tad sent the jewellery.
He lurlher stated that he had teen by the duke
engaged to assassinate Napuieon Bonaparte on
his way to Efts; which engagement, from some
unexpected drcumstancea and feelings, he did
not fulfil. The duke of hern thought it bentatii
the dignity of f prince of ihe blond uf tbe bouse
of Bourbon to den) he vdlanou* accusations thus
brought against hi b> Maubricille, and Mau
briculte was convicted of havn.g stolen the jew
eiiery. ai.d se«ien<eo.to perpetual imprisonment
tie was -hiftca Irum pris<in to prison by oruer ot
the French government until he was coi fined
in a gaoi oi. the Ntlherland frontier, whence he
escaped early ia the last spring.
WiKtlier still in the same employment or not,
certain it is, that pretty nearly the same thoughts
occupied Ins miad, and lie . went to Vienna. When
tin re, he loundthai joug Napoleon was at the
palace ot Scliotifmmn. near the city. Maubrieulle
imroeaiatvl) changed Ins residence for the more
immediate vicinity of Schoenbrunn, where he st
udied himself to the eln g) man of die parish, who
was one ill the tutors of the young prince, By
this clergy man Maubrieulle was frequently intro
duced into the gardens, lie. ot the palace, but
had never the fortune to ascertain tbe person
young Napoleon.
The last visit made by the priest and Maubrieulle
to the gardens. Ik' taw a smart well dressed boy
walking in toe sbrubbeiy. He was instantly im
pressed with the belief that this boy was die son
•f Bonaparte, and hit destined victim. He watch
d him vigilantly until he saw him nearly eovel
oped in a clump of young trees; he then sprang
oward him. and at the instant drew a dagger;
the b«>jr hearing a noise, turned round, and acting
Maubrieulle with the dagger in his hand, withii
a few paces of'-him, he said at once ‘you w»n
young Napoleon, I am one of bis playmates,- there
he is,” pointing.toward a boy about his own age
who was ashotf cinance from them. Maubrieulle
was now as certain of his vict.m as if. his dsgget
had been already baihed in lisa heart’s blood He
lost not a moment, but crouching and stealing
forward until he came within striking disiann
when he plunged Ins dagger into tbe playful bey
who fell lifeksr at his feet.
While this tragedy was performing, Napolco
the younger, for he it was whom we left in th
clump of trees, and whore presence of mind had
turned aside the dagger of the assassin—he prt
cipitateiy, and by the nearest route went to ill
guard and gave the alarm. Precautions wete it.
r'.Truly taken, every avenue was guarded, the ga
den was searched, Maubrieulle. the unest, and
stranger, were found and arrested. In a f<
hours they were all tried and nut to death. 1> .
wud the confessions of Maubrieulle and iht stran.
per, containing very important mutter, were sent
by the court of Vienna to all the principal court:
in Europe.
which arrived in this port from Bnenos-Ayre*, _
an unfortunate piece of news for hii friends in
general.—Balt. Fed. Car.
FROM BDENOS-JTBES.
WzsaixQTox, September 19:
Not seeing any thing in tbe Norfolk and Balti
more papers, of tbe important news we yesterday
noticed as having reached this country, by pn-
vale letters from Buenos Ayres, we have thought
it proper to be more particular in stating what
we know of it.
The Portuguese got possession of Colonia on
tbe 1st of Msy, whether by conquest or treache
ry is not known, but by the Utter, it is believed;
in which place, at the date of our information,
(the Utter end of jane) there were a thousand
men garrisoned. About the same time, tbe Por
tuguese general furrow took. Purification and
Paysander, with 3J0U men. A corps of cavalry
crossed tbe Uruguay, and after plundering tbe
Arrayu de U Chi,,a, re passed the mcr. The
Portuguese afterwards abandoned Purification,
and look a position between the Uruguay and
Paysander. The uncertainty of all news received
at Buenos Ayres was such, that it was not known
how things actually stood, at the date of our ad
vices. The contest, however, was considered
very unequal. Artigas being thus cut off from the
resources afforded on the sea coast, and be
ing withal, deprived of any aid from liuenus-
Ayres.
The government of Buenos Ayres, it is said
permitted tbe Portuguese to send ttn ir vessel- of
war up the river, to co-operate with their land
forces, which amounted to about lU.tOd men.—
The success of the Portuguoe had theu.-ual
effect of making them confident; and they op end
threatened to take possession of the island of Mar
tin Garcia, which commands the entrance to the
Uruguay and some of the entrance* to tbe Parana,
and which ia garrisoned by the troop* of Buenos
Ayres. If they succeed in this attempt, it re
quire* qo great forecast to predict that their next
attempt wifion the Western Shore.
Of ibe safety of the provinces of Bueno* Ayres

IaiTEST FROM CAFE UEJtRY, HAITI
We are indebted (says the Baltimore Federa
G.- zette) to the politeness of Mr D'Arcy, of this
city, for an official report of an accident which oc
curred in Hayti, received by him in a letter from
his Iriend in Cape Henry
Extract of a letter, dated Sant Souci, August 26,
1818- -at midday.
”1 have juft received from an officer ofihe gar
rison, who was on Hie *rot, an account of the acci
dent which befel the Citadel Hemy last night.
About 2 o’clock, r. m. of the 25th, the sky be
came very much overcast, and the accumulation of
dense clouds on the summit of the high peaks,
which surround the Citadel Henry, pi rtended a
-uriciis tempest. The largest trees bent before
the violence and impetuosity of the winds. Thi -
continued till about 4 o’clucx, when the rain be
gait to fa!J, accompanied by incessant lightning
About a quarter of Jn hour after, a flash of light
ning struck the highest point of the C’itsdel, about
lt>; paces from the nearest lightning rod, thence
pas-ing in a direct line in front of ihe great pos
tern, it crossed ihe guard house of the garrison
without doing;any mischief, and finally exploded
in the Laboratoiy, w hich stands in the rear of the
buildings, situated,on the side whence the wind
blew. The building contained a great quantity of-
projectures, which had been preparing for seme
days past, and which timehad not allowed to be »e-
rccuredin the magazines. A ttrribleesplo-ion took
place, which set firg to the neighboring buildings,
fhe wind continued to rage, and ‘he rain to fall.
The governor and the officers had taken sf elter
in their respectative apartments, and only discov
ered the impending danger by the blaze of the
extended conflagration.
The governor immediately sallied forth with
such ol the garrison as he could collect abou'
him, he saw the damage done by the explosion,
ami the impossiblity of, extinguishing the wide
spreading fiames, which raged with astonishing
fury. Every one, therefore, sought his own safe
ty. and made for those posterns which led to the
vaulted batteries; many had the good fortune to
reach them, but others, through terror, lost their
way, and either perished or were hurt.
King Henry, who was then at Sans Souci, re.
ctived the news of this dreadful event only two
hours after it took place. About 6 o’clock in the
afternoon, an sfficeroftbc garrison gave him the
information He immediately repaired to the ci-
tidel, accompanied by the officers of his staff, fol
lowed by 6tkXi of his guards, btsides the troops
of the line for tlie neighboring garrisons, and ar-
nved ia time to save a part of the buildings —
The powder tnagaxines, which contain 5,000,000
lb3. powder, the vaulted armories and batteries,
liave cscaptd destruction. In fine, only thme
buildings wkicb stood exposed in open air, wiihin
the fort, have been de.troyed; all else is uninjured,
and tlie citidrl remains in its former state of de-
fence.
We have to deplore tl.e loss of the governor,
Jus royal highness the duke of P^rt-de-Paix, great-
>y regretted by the king, besides that of many of
the brave soldiers to whom the defence of tliis
bulwark eras entrusted.
His majesty is now occupied in superintending
the removal af ihe < rubbish of the buildings des-
riwved, which he intends to hare re-built more
aohdfy and seearelrr Bnt little time will be ne
cessary to efftet this. With the numbers and activi
ty employed about it.”
EMBRYO INVASION OF MEXICO.
A gentleman now in this city, and late from New
Orleans, reports, that the fortified camp establish-
ed near Trinity river, in the province of Tcxa*
continues to receive, almost daily, volunteers; tbat
if the force augments, for one year longer, in the
proportion it has for aume time past, there can be
u» doubt they will have a conccntrati.ni at this
point adequate to strike at once for the liberation
of Mexico, fully cfpial to cope with the Spaniards;
mat general Lallemand is chief in command, and
hat under him many veteran French officers,
hat they spend much time in ihe open air, prac.
ising tlie use ot xrme; and that they are wel,
irganised, inured to fatigue, and keep up a very
Xuct discipline.
If this information is correct, (and w e have no
reason to doubt it) Mexico is dtsiined, at no din
' mi day, to assume sn imposing attitude and be
come a formidable empire, and this; very proba
bly. under the direction of some military aspirant
• ho with the sinews of war at command, might
laugh to scorn the powers of combintd Europe.—

VHOM THE BOSTOS BATHIOT, SEPT! MDER 16.
The United States frigate Maredonian,
captain John Duwncs, is now in our harbor,
completely ready for sea and waits only
for a favorable wind to proceed on her
cruise. We underslaul the Macedonian
will touch at St. Salvador, Kio Janeiro,
Buenos-Ayres, nml then proceed round
Cape Horn, iute th* Pacific Ocean, to re
lieve the Ontario, which it is expected will
return to the United States before winter.
The selection of captain Downes for thi
cruise is very generally considered a judi
tious one, as he possesses much practical
knowledge obtained when the companion
f captain Porter, whose ship, the Essex,
m the same vicinity, was so successful in
her operations during the late war, until,
as must be fresh ia the memory of every
one, being unfortunately disabled she was
overpowered by a greatly superior force.
To captain Downes and his friends it must
be peculiarly gratifying, that his country
having once more called for his services,
(though not war operations) has placed at
his- command a frigate taken from that
same enemy, but by an equality of force'
to the honor of her captors.
To the experience possessed by captain
Downes, may he added the advantage of a
knowledge of the authorities in that quar
ter of the world to which he is buund, and
in case of any difficulties arising ho would
not fail to regard them with a jealous eve.
VVe anticipate, that if occasion requires
his stopping off the harbor of Valparaso,
every possible mark of attention and re
spect will be shewn him and his ship’s
company by the existing authorities of that
place.

“The Comanchcs Indians, who had de
parted in great numbers, about four months
since, to make incursions on the Span
iards, had succeeded in taking from them
250 head of horses and mules, in the
neighborhood of St. Antonio. They were
tracked by colonel J. Perez, who, having
met with them beat them completely, and
took from them all their cattle,'even the
horses which the Indians had when they
started from home. The Spaniards of the
neighboring settlements have sent all their
herds in the interior, to avoid.the rapacity
ol tlie Indians, so that our traders, who.
have left here about three months ago, will
find no cattle to purchase, unless they re
main four months longer, and even then it
is doubtful whether thry will be able to-
trade:”—Louisiana. Courier.

R.1CE OF LEGITIM A TES. *
The more curiously we pry into the ma
chinery of monarchical government, the
mure (arcicai does it appeal to us. Here,
d -ary monarchy (the species which is held
.ii most general estimation) goes upon the
idea that a great nation is like an entailed
estate, belonging to a certain family, and
tiansmissible from heir to heir, through
successive generations. Let that heir lie
an infant or u lunatic—-however week or
however vicious, no matte;—the destina
tion of their people remains the same, like
that of so many cattle. Let these but see
a risk of the succession’s failing, and the
royal blood's running out, the whole na
tion is threatened with confusion; they day
not take upon themselves to do, as we soS
quietly do; choose the best anil the wor
thiest man to manage their afiairs—but
they invoke their princes to marry and'
keep up the breed for the benefit of the na
tion; and there is as much anxiety to con
tinue the legitimate stock,as there wa»
among the Egyptian priests to obtain their
sacred calves.
The death of the princess Chai lotte late
ly threw a great empire into trepidation.
There was no English heir who was likely
to coi *.;ue the succession. It was imme.
diately represented as the duty of the liv
ing princes a-d princesses, to marry and
multiply themselves lor the good of the
nation. Four of them have accordingly
bound themselves in wedlock’s chain, pro
bably not from any attractions of love,but
from a phiianthorpic wish to serve the na
tion. One uf the princesses had wedded
the hereditary prince of Hesse Hombourg.
The dukes of Cambridge, of Clarence, and
of Kent, have taken to themselves three
wives of the noble German breed—the last
of rhem, married to the sisterof the prince
Leopold. John Bull, of course, pay* for
the bridal cloths, the maintenance, pin 4
money, dower and all. He is so much
elated, with this accession of legitimates,
that the British Parliament and even the
livery of London are Offering their con
gratulations to the royal dukes upon their
nuptials. Attention, of coarse, looks to
the result; and tbe London Journals alrea
dy announce that “the dutches* of Cam-
bndge is »n the family way!” 'What it
