From William's Travels in Italy, Greece, and the Ionian Islands, The members of the Bonaparte family at Rome consist ol the Princess Pauline, married to Prince Borgbese ; I.ouis Bo naparte, the ex-king of Holland ; l.ucein the Prince ofCanir.e, and his family, and lastly' the mother ot Napoleon Bona parte I he first of these personages was the tavouritc sister of the ex-empe- ror, and during his residence in FJha.'he was in the habit of placing her close to him when they were in company ; lie sometimes would turn round while at dinner, and dr-ire one of his officers to compose some quatrian in honor of the princess’s charms, and to recite it to her •it the table. One ot those officers, who accotn pained him to Elba, shewed » friend of mine several verses that had been composed by himself m obedience to his master’s instructions. The Princess lives separate from her husband hut she is allowed to occupy the opieridid building of the Itorghc-e palace ait Rome. At present the prince reside* nt Florence. Napoleon during hi« so-' premacy. had endeavoured to bring him Jorward in some public capacity, but the attempt is said to have failed, his inatten tion rendering it necessary to withdraw him from the situations to which he was oppointed. The Princess Pauline is fond', of society, she is, indeed, said to display ^n’lch of the coquetry aod vanity of a . woman e! fa-Lion.

Wc understand that, in consequence of an application from the Austrian Court to our government, requesting that more indulgence should be allowed to Bona parte, orders have been despatched for that purpose, and have been carried in to effect. His temper is therefore said to have become less repulsive. It seems llint lie is now permitted to walk or ride without a guard, though there is no re laxation in tho«e measures of security which arc deemed necessary to prevent the possibility of escape. We nl«o learn, with much regret, that yourg Napoleon has not been discouraged from enter taining the utmost harted of the English, on account of the imprisonment of his father, though the act of the F.uropean sovereigns in general, and so essential to the safety of nil Iheir several states. In proof of this fact, the following anecdote, which has been generally circulated on the continent, is snid to be founded on truth : The boy lately asked why he was not sty led asbpforc'—the King of Koine 1 He was informed that the title was abo lished on the imprisonment of his father. He (hen asked by whom lie was impri- soned, and, on being told hv the English, he put bis band to bis little sword, and exclaimed ir. rage, “ Ah ! (hose villanous English." Why the boy shouhkiie per mitted to indulge these sentiments, or bow far they may relate to ulterior views relative to France, we leave to the re- riections of profound philosophers, and to the sagacity of more sagacious politi- cians, to "gather and surmise." .In unheard of Jtrorily,—Betters from Angouleme (France) contain the follow ing account of an liornble outrage com mitted near ConforlcriA yflnfig cou ple, who were on the point of being mar ried, went together to invite tlieir rela tions to the nuptials.

On their arrival at a vil lage where (lie young man wanted to see some reasons, lie left his destine d bride to wail his return in the. road. Immedi ately afterwards three ruffians aiiited, who after grossly insulting the young girl, obliged her to alight from the horse, slripiung her naked ; committed outrage* on her person, w Inch decency will not permit us to relate, and threatened to murder her ; they then killed the horse, cut open hi j hellv, took out the entrals, and in their place put the unfortunate young woman, sewed up the animal's skin, and nude off. Some children who were passing by afterward* beard cries issuing from tlm bowels of the horse, and immediately ran in great fright to tell th»ir parents that the devil was in a dead horse lying in the road. In the mean time the young man arrived and heard the ginens of his expiring mistress. She was dragged out oftlic horrid situa tion where the villains had placed her, transported to the nearest lnrn where every attention was paid to her. The public sent directly about pursuing the horrid monsters who had committed an offence new in the annals of crime, and were fortunate enough to arre-t them. They were recognzed liy the young woman upon confrontation. The unfor tunate. victim could not survive the out rages which had been perpetrated upon her. nuil expired five days afterwards.

FROM NElV.OttLF.ANS A few days before the steam ship lin kert Fulton sailed from Netv-Orleans, a lire took place in the vicinity of the U. S Naval Arsenal at that place ; the flame; communicated to that building, and it was consumed, with all .its contents.— Besides the properly belonging to that department, there was 5000 stand of arms, nml a large quantity of clothing belonging to the Army, destroyed. The whole loss to the government, being up wards of one handled thousand dollars. The Captain and First Eeutenant of Bravo, were executed fas mentioned in yesterday's piper on board of one the a. barges lying in the Mississippi.— Just as they reached the barge, the Cap tain (Ot.«rxnoes) suddenly threw him self into the stream ; his arms being pin ioned. he sunk to the holtom ; but rising soon after to the surface, he was again secured. He had previously expressed a wish to be shut, w Inch was not granted ; and it is supposed he adopted, this expe dient, in the expectation that (he marines would shoot him as he rose ; but in (bis he was disappointed ; ami lie died in the way pointed out in his sentence. The Robert Fulton passed in the Mis sissippi, 2Uth ult. the U. S. schooner Fyn.r, Lieut.

There is a report in town, snid to be brought by the post rider, that a civil war is raging among the Choctaw Indi ans—the report i< related so circum stantially as to entitle it to credit, more especially when connected with rumors which were previously afloat. It is now staled that some time ago an old Choc taw woman, suspected by some of her tribe fur a fit h, was taken up, .ortured and put to death ; her immediate friends, or relative*, took what the Indians call “ satisfaction, " by killing seme member of the family who had been concerned in putting (he old woman to death—Ibis was retaliated, and finally two parties were created wlm, with arms fought a regular and bloody battle. It is said that the number engaged amounted in one hundred and fifty on each side, anil that the battle was continued with such obstinate valor by both parties, that not more than twclv e of the combatants were left alive. Sliould this be true, it fur nishes an instance of persevering deter mination in pursuit of revenge unexam pled by any tiling which we have heard. Extract of a teller lo a gentleman in St. Louis, Ala. dat'd “ Winchester, New Madrid county, (Mis-nuri,) April IV, 1*20. " The militia are ordered out m masse, to go to New Madrid. There is likely to be some serious difficulty with a band of the Shawanee Indians, at that place. On Friday last n Mr. Davis, from Ten- ncssre, am’, a Mr. Chandler, wercattnck- ed by the Indians : Davis was killed, butchered, and scalped ; Chandler was mortally Avenndcd. The whites from the neighborhood went in pursuit of the murderers ; and, Although one was «hot and slightly wounded, they made their escape. They, howcvci, surceedcJ in catching three of the party who were not immediately concerned in the mur der, and brought them into town, (New Madrid,) where they are now under a strong guard. Three others afterwards came in, and held a council with those confined. One of them teems to be the principal chief of the hand. It was a- greed by them that the two murderers should he delivered up in four days, and the three prisoners sliould remain under guard until that promise was complied with. It is since ascertained that they only wanted tune to collect tlieir whole party, which consists of between one and two hundred ; then it is their intention to come in and take their companions without ceremour.'"

Important decision.—Outlie I Oth in stant, the IjCgislativc Council, sitting as the High Court of Errors anil Appeals, reversed the judgment of the Supreme Court, w Inch confirmed the proceedings of the Circuit Court, held io the county of Essex, whtrem Col. Aaron Ogden obtained a verdict against Thomas Gib bon, for the sum of uOOO dollars, in an action of damages.

[Federalist.'} The Governor of Tennessee, hxs by Pro clamation required the legislature of that State, to-convene at Murfreesboro ugl on the gtith inst. the affairs of that State uu’lin- rising in his opinion an extra session. The following reasons assigned for the nirrt.ng are extracted from the Alurfrcesboroiqffi Courier. Cull of the l/tgislittm.—The Governor in compliance with what appears to he the general wishes of the people nn the subject, has concluded to call an extraordinary sessi on oftheGeneral Assembly. YVe have learnt this determination of his excellency from an authentic source, and also, tlmt the time of convening the Legislature, is lo lie on tin Jtitli of next month. Writ* of election, we are advised, have already issued to till the vacancies occasioned hy the resignation of several ol’ the members of the present Ge neral Assembly. The elections to fill these vacancies, will take place in the respective counties, in which they have happened, on the ljtli and 1 Kill days of June. In railing the legislature at this time of unparallelled pecuniary distress, the Gover nor lias promptly obeyed the Ic.timate >oice of tlic people, expressed hy petit ions from the different sections of the is untry. We entertain no iloulit of its being the wish of a large majority of the citizen; nf Ten nessee, that the Legislature should lie call ed; to pass some constitutional law, calcu lated lo offer some kind of relief to tl:e thou sands of distressed debtors in our state, who are now tottering on the very K. i u f min and in: olvency. Tlicxe difficulta-have ..... in,«:o piixluced by the imprudence of those who owe the money, but are attribu table, in nearly every innlanre, to the tall of foreign markets, and to the domestic 'farci fy of a circulating medium. Those debtors who possess valuable property,are in a-de plorable a condition as those w ho have little or none; for property when brought ml* market under a forced sale, under the ham mer of the sheriff, auctioneer or roiHnhlc. will not tell for the tilth of its value; it can not be sold for more; fur no purchaser can be found who has money. If ever tiiere was an occasion, when ne- csjiiy railed for legislative interference,to save a whole people from bankruptcy and ruin, the present is surely the time. Mi ter fully into the laudable views which has induced the Governor to interpose lii- xcrutive authority to rail the iimnedkite Representative* el the people together.— We do hope that the members, when asseia- Moil, will unite in heart and hand in alfor ding every constitutional relief that can lu- xtonded to tlieir suffering constituents.— We believe, that a law of great practical it- tility may be passed on tnis stibjeei, wiln out having nnv retrospective effect, or ii any way impairing the nature and obligation nf individual contracts. Little argument! would lie required to prove this, but at thi-1 nliglitened day we deem it w holly uimc- ceasary to enter upon the tank.

WASHINGTON IRVING, Who stands at the head of American wits, is endued with a keen and intuitive perception, a taste the most delicate and refined, a humour rich and playful, and a mind stored with brilliant conceptions^ and ludicrous combination of images which lash with sportive severity the reigning follies of the day, which abound in tine touches of humour, and sparkle with the brightest corruscations of wit. The mental powers of this elegant, satirist were early ripened into excel lence. Premature exuberance of genius* so frequently portending sterility, was,, in this instaiice, the forerunner of a rich, and fruitful harvest. Mr. Irving's ac quirements in polite literature arc as extensive as liis imagination is boundless and excursive ; liis intellectual feature* hold, yet finely proportioned, like the Apollo of Bclvidere, unite firmness tw delicacy, and strength to elegance In his manners to strangers, reserved, and occasionally labouring under sligiit embarrassments ; he is easy, open, affa ble and communicative to the compan ions of his social hours. In colloquial entertainments, his wit seldom, as might naturallv he expected, flashes on the brain, or kindles the heart into merri ment. Deficient in readiness of expres- sion, liis words follow at B distance th» celerity of hi* conceptions.
