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 f their ability to maintain their indepdence, il united, there can bs. no donb:: (here ia no saying to what the violence of their internal divisions may not bring them—though it is believed they have little 10 apprehend from any force the Por luguete can bring against them—JVat. hu. neterietu love of truth in the a-sertor; and this I *“ Hopkins'gave no person “a drubbing” in Dsri- en on the 3lst ultimo, the day of riot between his father, himself and others-nor since tbat time, Jonx Fobbes, J.

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.— City Gazette VV.ii.

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. They have communicated tu us a letter from Natchitochcz, dated the £9tli July, -hich contains the following paragraph: “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.

Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Buenos- Ayres, dated Juhe 18, 1818, to his friend in Baltimore. “GeraaJ Artis*, find* himself now in the most ™ u ~ , Two divisions of his array on'tbe frontier of Bra Grande* have teen detoroyed by the Portuguese.

The In diana Centinel mentions, that it is situated on a hill of about 400 feet elevation, and the mouth of the cave aboat half way be tween the base and the summit of the hill. The cavern varies in capacity from SO feet high and 20 wide, to quite small—with a roof in some places aiched, in others flat, and in others angular, like the rnor of a house—It has been exploied more than a mile and a half, and is found to contain Eps >m Salts ora superior quality, together with a vast quantity of Saltpetre earth, Allom, Gypsum, etc. The property is owned by Air.

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 miserable fare*!—-Bichvwnd Enquirer. j.
