This singular phenomenon continued its depredations for,
about 25 minutes, and then again .joined the cloud out of

is very considerable.”

Auguji 23. A letter from Hamburgh fays, “ Britilh
goods are felling cheaper in our market than ever known
m the memory of man; the market is quite overstocked
with every fort, except cotton yarn, which article can be
fold to any extent, and commands cash; the demand for
this article from Pruflia and Flanders exceeds all belief.”
Auguji 27. The removal of gen. MafTena from the
command in Italy may be varioully accounted for. A
man who is as great in war as infamous in character may
be dismissed or preferred, may be wanted or may be liiper
fluous; his removal may be intended as mercy to the Cif
alpines, whom he has robbed and pillaged ,vith the unre
lenting ferocity of an Arab; his science in the art of plun
der may destine him to the Tagus; or, finally, lie may
lead the second army of referee into the Tyrol, where, in
the event of the renewal of hostilities, the republicans will
doilbtlefs attempt to force their way, joining on either
hand the armies of the Rhine and of Italy, advancing in
a common line against every part of the hereditary hates.
The importance of Rulfia has never been so diflinftly
felt in the scale of Europe as at the present moment. The
obligations under which (in cal'e of her perseverance) flu;
will have laid the hates of the empire, and the display of
her power in the south, will conduct to anew order of
things, independently of any immediate gratification or
* indemnity she may aim at from the success of war. It
may be. true that neither Austria nor the court of Berlin,
so long the arbiters of the German empire, mav fee with
unqualified fatisfa&ion the powerful aid which is lent to it,
nor the authority which will hereafter belong to lb power
ful an interference, hut from thele feelings it is impoflible
to argue any thing finiftrous; Auhria hands in present need
of the afiihance of Rulfia; and the empire, which its chief
has been unable to prated, and which has been betrayed
by the neutrality of its northern hates, may hereafter look
up to a power equally capable to moderate between the
rival sovereigns of Germany, or to defend it from exter
nal enemies. Rulfia will thus hold the balance of the
empire by the juheft tie, the services lhe renders to it, and
Ibe will be relpeded by the two great princes who have
hitherto directed it as a domehic rival as well as a foreign
power. Had the policy of Bonaparte been realiy enlight
ened and profound he would not perhaps have thrown the
balance of Germany out of the hands of France; but his
plans resemble those of a Gothic conqueror rather than of
-*n European ftatefinan.
Bonaparte lias made the poor peasants of Lombardy be
lieve that the conduct he purities with regard to their
priefls and religion is not the effect of any change in his
political objedts or character, but the effeCt of a miraculous
-conversion which was effected upon him in the holy land.
Bonaparte’s miraculous conversion in Palcttine beats
Jean Debry’s miracle in the ditch out and out, if it were
only for the reason that Jean Debry was in the ditch, and
Bonaparte never was in Pafeftine!
’ Nothing can be arc urately afeertained from the Paris
journals refpeCting the success of citizen Duroc’s million;
but we find that the day f his rat urn the funds fell, in
eonfequence of the report that the anfiwer was not fatisfac
tory. We have reason to think that our government is
in possession of the answer that has been returned.
Anew treaty of alliance has been concluded between
the courts of Berlin and Pcterfburgh.

’ ’ THE IDIOT.
The circumstance related in tbbfollowing Ballad hap
pened some years since in Herefordshire .
IT had pleas’d God to form poor Ned
A thing of idiot mind,’
Yet to the poor unreas’ning man.
God had not been unkind.
Old Sarah lov’d her helpless child, - ..
Whom helplessness made dear,
And lifi was happiness to him,
Who had no hope nor fear.
She knew his wants, she understood
Each half artic’late call, ‘ k
And lie was ev’ry thing to her,
And she to him was all. ’ •
, And so for many a year they dwelt,
, Nor knew a wish beside, “
But age at length on Sarah came,
And she fell sick and died. , ,
, He tried .in vain to waken her,
And call’d her o’er and o’er;
.1 hey. told him .she was dead—the sound
I o him no import bore. , <.
•They 1 clos'd her eves and shrouded her,
And he stood wond’iing bv,
And when they bora her to the grave
He follow’d silently.
i hey laid her In the narrow house, „
They sung the fim’ral stave;
But when the fun’ral train dispers’d
He loiter’d by the grave. ‘
The rabble boys, who us’d to jeer *
\\ hent'er they saw poor Ned, f
Now stood and watch’d him at the gravc r
And not a word thev said. *
They came and went, and came again,
‘Till night at last came on,
And still he loiter’d bv the grave,
’ 1 ill all to rest were gone.
And when,he found himself alone,
Lie swift remov’d the day, .
And ra/d the coffin up in haste,
And Lore it swift away.
And when he reach’d his lmt be lai4
The coffin on the floor,
And with the eagerness of joy
He barr’d the cottage door.
And out he took his mether’s corps*, V;
AnJ plac’d it in her chair,
And then lie heapt the hearth, and bl\
The kindling fire with care.
He plac’d liis mother in her chair, *\
And in her wonted placfcj \ ’
And blew tbe kindling fire, that shone Vj
Reflected on her face:
And pausing now, her hand would fbe!,
. And now her face behold,
“ Why, mother, do you look so pale,
“ And why are you so cold?”
It had pleas’d God from the poor wretch
His only friend to call,
But God was kind to him, and soon
In death restor’d him all.
