BONAPARTE'S DEATH CONFIRMED.
New-York, Aug. 13.
Capt. West of the schooner Moxa, arrived
•st the Quarantine Ground last evening, from
Bassuterre, Guadaloupe, informs the editors
of the Gazette, that just before Ik sailed, a
British frigate arrived there with despatch
es, announcing the death of Bonaparte. No
particulars had been promulgated, and the
frigate, after remaining half an hour at the
port, got under weigh, and proceeded to lee
ward. [VVe may consider this as a fall con
firmation of the death of the great Napole
on Bonaparte. As to the political eflect of
tliis event, we do not feel ourselves compe
tent to give all its bearings. The event is a
momentous one, and the result may prove
highly important to the world.]
DEATH oFUaPOLEON.
Information has been recieved in this
city, by the way of Martinique, which
leaves no doubt of the fact that the Ex-
F.mperor of Fi ance has paid the debt of
nature.
This event took place on the Gth of
May, at the Island of St. Helena—dissec
tion being made of his body, the cause of
his death was discovered to be a cancer
in the pylorus, (scirius pylorus.) which
seemed to have been long forming itselt,
lmt whose progress should have been
etopt by the dilatation of the liver as the
cancer increased. _ < ,
His remains have been buried in a ro
mantic situation, forming a part of the
grounds of Longwcod, and previously
chosen by himself.
His obsequies were attended with all
military honors. His corpse was expos
ed upon a state bed, & was visited by all
classes of the population of St. Helena.
Two British men of war were dis
patched to carry to England the news of
this event. The last of those vessels
touched at the Island of Ascension on the
21st of May, and the Com. Sir George
Collier, left that island on the 27th of
the same month with H. B. M. ship I ur-

FROM THE FRANKLIN GAZETTE.
NAPOLEON BONAPARTE
The fresh tidings of the death of this ex
traordinary man naturally leads to redacti
ons upon his character. His brilliant milita
ry career dazzled the eyes of men to such a
degree, that, in the days of prosperity, he
was undoubtedly over-rated. The probabl-

J o those who have studied ancient and
odern history, it must we think, tie oltvi-
oos, that the human race bus been preserved
from sinking to a level with the brutes on
the one. hand, and, on the other, from falling
into total imbecility,and yielding to the do
minion ot pampered passions and diseased
imaginations, by the continual flux and re
flux of barbarism and civilization. Napole
on has been an instrument in the hands of
Providence—and lie has fulfilled his missi
on. If that mission were, as there is reason
to believe, for the purpose of rooting out the
vices of despotism, as a precursor to the
more happy condition of all tongues and all
people, then there is a consistency in the
termination of his career with he object to
be attained by his instrumentality, kle was
evidently hastening towards the establish
ment of despotism himself, and there would
have been an incongruity in allowing the in
strument ol reformation to become the
means of preventing it.
The United States owe Napoleon noth
ing of friendly sentiment—for, by several of
his arbitrary commercial deerees, he depriv
ed our citizens of a great deal of their pro
perty. And yet it is in the United States
that he will be most appreciated. This a-
rises from the deep rooted antipathy which
nur countrymen entertained for kingly go
vernment and royal tyranny—and from the
delight whieh they take in seeing the line of
legitimacy broken, in any shape, and a recog
nition of the right of the people to choose
their own rulers. Ronaparte in the first in
stance, respected this right—hut as Mr. Fox
said of him, at Paris, during the consular go
vernment, lie was a man spoiled by good for
tune. As he grew in power he receded from
the popular -ufFrage whieh induced the re
publicans of France to abandon him.

feature of liberality, and the present genera
tion has stamped an indelible stain upon it.
Napolebn, like all oilier men, cultivated
that talent most, for which lie was most cis-
tinguished and praised. He was, beyond
dispute, the first captain of his age—-ana feel
ing the force of his genius, he yielded too
much to his inclination for fighting. “ I5y
force alone he would govern,” said the per-
fidious Talleyrand Perigord, “ and by force
lie lias been subdued.” The most judicious
remark w.; have met with in relation to his
conduct came from the pen ofFouche:

ble dealer, “ in a situation where it was ne
cessary for him always to he gusccBsful. It
is certain that he made few political friends.
The French armies were attached to him by

Kingston, Jamaica, June 30,
Our advices from Santa-Martha are to

the Installation of the first general Con
gress of the Columbian Republic had ta
ken place in the village of Rosariodel

Congress of Columbia to assemble the
lifty-seven deputies who were present
in the village tiecording to the Funda

The Assembly having met, his Excel

applicable to the act, which having con
eluded, he rose and asked if the Depu
ties were of opinion that they might (or
ought to) proceed to the Installation of
the Congress. It being unanimously a-
greed to, the Vice-President said, “The
general Congress of Columbia is lawfully
installed : The National Sovereignty is
at its disposal.” ♦
A numerous concourse of people, fall
of rejoicings and enthusiasm, cried Long

The Deputies afterw ards took the accus
tomary oaths.
At the proposal of the Vice President
they proceeded to elect a President and
Vice-President for the Congress, when
bv majority of votes Sn. Felix Restrepo
was chosen President, and Sti. Fernando
Penalver, Vice President.
On the continuation of the Session
Francisco Solo, and Mignel Sant imari
were chosen Secretaries, who took pos
session of their places, and concluded
the act of Installation, which was signed
by Ills Excellency the Vice-President

St. Andrews, (N. B.) July 31
We observed in the last Eastport Cen
tinel. an account of a “ Daring Outrage’
committed at Calais on the persons of
several American citizens. We are h »|
py to learn that two of the perpetrators
are confined in our goal, for trial at th
next Sessions—when they will, no doubt
meet with the appropriate reward of
their deeds. A short time since,
seizure of American property was mad
at Schoodiac. and most of it was depos'
ted in the store ofJ. Porter, Esq. Th
evening after its seizure, a number of A
mericatis came over, we believe from
Calais, and attempted the rescue of it.
They were then repulsed. The nest
night they came again, between twelve
and one o’clock, to the number of -15 or
60 persons, some armed with muskets,
and some with scythes, determined, it
would appear, to moa> down all opposi
tion, and after a short struggle succeed
ed in their illegal and unjustifiable enter
prise, and returned to Calais, taking with
them not only the property that had been
seized, but several articles of linen be
longing to the females of Mr. Armstrong’s
family. We should he happy to hear
that the same-promptitude was used by
our Neighbours in delivering up to Jus
tice the perpetrators of this unlawful
art, that has been so honorably shown by
our Magistrates with regard to the two
men noticed.

France, Napoleon Bonaparte, is no longer a

that iniquitous league called the Holy Alli

it would be the signal for new wars and re-

would declare in favor of the son of Napole

Austria.

ADDRESS.
My young Fellow-C it item Sc Fellow-Soldiers,
1 rejoice that 1 live to see so line a collec
tion of the future defenders of their country,
in pursuit of honor under the auspices of the
national government.
A desire of distinction is implanted hy na
ture in every human boshin,—-and the gene
ral sense of mankind in all ages and countries,
cultivated and uncultivated, has excited, en
couraged, and applauded this passion in ni-
litary men more, than in any other order in
society. Military glory is esteemed the first
and greatest of glories. As your profession
is at least as solemn and sacred as any in hu
man life, it behoves you seriously to consi
der— IVhai is glory ?
There is no real glory in this world or in
any other hut such as arises from wisdom
and benevolence. There can be no solid
glory among men but that which springs’
from equity and humanity—from the con
stant observance of Prudence, Temperance,
Justice and fortitude. Battles, victories and
conquests, abstracted from their only justifi
able object ami end—which is justice and
peace,—are the glory of fraud, violence and
usurpation. What was the glory of.Alexan
der and Cre.nir 7—the glimmering nliirli
those “livid llamCs” in Milton, “ cast pule
arid dreadful"—or the “ sodden blaze which
far round illumined Hell.”
Different! fat. different! is the glory of
Washington, and his faithful colleagues
Excited by no ambition of conquest, or ava
rieious desire of wealth—irritated v >y no jea
lousy, envy, malice, or revenge—-prompted
only by the. lore of their country—by tin
purest patriotism and philmitliruphy—they
persevered with invincible constancy io de
fence of their country—her fundamental
laws—her natural, essential, and inalienable
rights and liberties, against the lawless and
ruthless violence of tyranny and usurpation.
The biography of these immortal Captains,
and the history of theii great actions, vou
will read and ruminate eight and day. You
need not investigate antiquity, or travel into
foreign countries to find models of excel
lence in military commanders, without n
stain of ambition or avarice, tyranny, cruel
ty. or oppression, towards friends or ene
mies.
In imitation of such great examples—in
(lie most exalted transports of your military
ardor, even in the day of battle, you will be
constantly overawed by a conscious sense of
the dignity of your characters as men—as
American citizens, and as Christian*.
I congratulate you on the great advanta
ges yon possess for attaining eminence in let
ters and science, as well as in arms. These
advantages are a precious deposit, which
you ought to consider as a sacred trust, for
which you are responsible to your country
nod to a higher tribunal. These advantages
and the habits you have acquired, will quali
fy you for any course of life you may choose
to pursue.
That I may not fatigue you with too ma
ny words, allow me to address every one of
you, in the language of a Roman Dictator to
iiis master of the horse, after a daring and
dangerous exploit for the safety of his coun

No. III
The administration that shall adopt the
system of measures and principles of consti
tutional construction recommended by “ the
Trio,” will unavoidably subject themselves
to the imputation of insincerity &. apostacy
however exalted their characters, and up
right their intentions may be. To prove,
this, it is only necessary to appeal In tin
numbers of these orthodox writers them
selves. For admitting that the |>olitical
creed which they arc attempting to establish,
was that of the republican party, and its
leaders when they came into power, if they
have not been able to persevere in it, can it
be seriously believed that any other set of
men can be selected, from tile present fal
len generation, that will? If such men as
Mr. Jefferson and Mr. Madison—if the pen
man of the Declaration of Independence, and
one of Ihe authors of the constitution, who
was also the mover of the celebrated resolu
tions against the Alien and Sedition Laws—
with all their acknowledged purity and pa
triotism, have not been able to persevere in
the faith, can “ the Trio” hope for such per
severance from any one; even from their
boasted prop of democratic republican princi
ples'.7 The fault is not in the men, for we
have been blessed above all other nations
with the integrity of our public characters—
but in the standard by which they would
judge them. Nor do I fear the objection
that will be made, that if we depart in any
case from the most rigid construction of the
constitution, there will be no limitation upon
the powers of the government. The objec
tion I think perfectly idle—for both the
'rights of the states and of the people will be
much.more safe under the rational construc
tion for which I contend, than under the op
posite and more rigid rule. The most effec
tual guard against usurpation, is the plain
common sense of Ihe community, which in
placing a construction oil miy portion of the
constitution, will be governed by its nature,
and the objects of ils framers. We may well
confide in that goud sense of the people,
which brought our admirable system of go
vernment into existence, and lias sustained
its various movements through a period of
great difficulty, for more than thirty years.—
Should encroachments lie made upon popu
lar rights, they will lie speedily checked, as
they were in tile ease ofthe Alien Si Sedition
Laws; and should powers belonging to the
government be occasionally abandoned, they
will be again resumed as in (lie rase of the
Bank, Let the responsibility of our rulers
lie firmly maintained, and Ihe freedom ofthe
press preserved in all its fulness and energy,
and no encroachment can be permanent.
At any rate, if we cannot safely rely on
them, our system of government itself must
he surrendered as impracticable. For they
are the real props of democratic republican
principles.
But grant for a moment that I am wrong
m my views ofthe constitution, and that no
successful vindication can he made for tin
republican party or its prominent members
against tile charges of “ the Trio i ask is
the man whom lliey pronounce the only
prop of democratic republican principles in
the cabinet, and hold up as the man most
worthy to be the successor of Mr. Monro*
in the Presidency, exempt from the full
eight of their grievous and overwhelming
charges? On the Bank question, “the Trio”
have pleaded guilty for him, in order, I sup
pose, to secure mercy or mitigate the sen-
enee. But this confession ought not to mi
tigate the punishment. For such high pol
tics’, crimes as they have alleged against the
parly,a faint confession of guilty, for their
favorite, which they immediately encircle
with such a splendid eulogy as to make guilt
fascinating, ought not surely to be. received
ns an atonement. Men of socli delicate re
gard to principle as “ the Trio,” and stick
ling as they profess to do, as to the constitu
tionality of the Bank, would not, one would
suppose, have denounced Me. Crawford’s
apostacy in Ihe language of extravagant
praise. Before they pronounced their nigh
and exclusive eulogy, or reposed implicit
confidence in his political faith,it was to have
beeuex|M-cfcd that they would have at least,
examined critically the principles he avow
ed on the question of renewing the okl Rank
charter. What “ the Trio” ought to have
done, I will, in part, perform for them. Pas
sing over all the other positions on which Mr.
Crawford relied to establish the constitution
ality of (be Bank, many of which would no
doubt shock tliu delicate nerves of “ the
Trio," I will present only two for their
mournful audiudignaul cpnsideratjQJL Will
no! these clamorous ndvorntPil for state
rights, grow led with horning wiatli, when
informed that Mr. Crawford affirms not on
ly the right uf the general government to in-
nrporate a Rank, hut utterly denies the same
power to the states? lie considers every
licit institution created by the authority of
stall, ami every note issued hy it, a flagrant
iolation of the constitution. As iudignnnt
s “ tile Trio” must be at so gross a heresy,
as they will no doubt deem litis to be, they
must lie still more so at another position as
sumed by Mr. Crawford, -lie openly advo
cates the doctrine, so much reprobated by
sticklers for state rights, lliyt precedents
ought to settle the construction of the con
stitution. Hear his own language. “When
ever a construction is given to the constituti
on, hy a legitimate and competent authori
ty, those who are opposed to (tint construc
tion ought to prupose amendments, and not
those who are satisfied with it. if the con
struction given to the constitution hy the
creation oi'« Bunk was thought by the re
publican party to be vicious, then indeed
they have been guilty of the grossest act of
negligence. It was in their power, and most
assuredly it was their duty, to have, amend
ed the constitution, either hy expressly giv
ing or taking uway the power.” This is
bold doctrine, and what will “the Trio” say
to it ? Clinging still to their “prop of
democratic principlM” will they affirm
that this is a heresy of an old date—and
that he lias long since embraced a more or
thodox political faith ? If they should at
tempt to shelter him behind such a sublet-
fuge, from the denunciations they pour out so
liberally upon the republican party, I lire
call upon liient for the proof of Mr. Craw
ford's reformation. For a political error lif
such alarming tendency as “ the Trio” deem
this to lie, I presume they will acknowledge
(hat the recantation ought to he public anil
solemn. This would he necessary to do a-
way tlieecuiidal and the pernicious effects ul'
such an example, in one whom they would
set upas the High Priest of their party. If,
finding no such recantation, they, in Ibcir
reluctance to give up a favorite, should ap
peal to his general course of politics, as u
proof of his reformation, I am prepared In
meet them there fc confound all their hopes
of escape in that quarter. Though 1 am wil

the question of the renewal f the rharter of

If we resort to mere measures of policy,
not involving the more flr less rigid construc
tion uf the constitution, our impressions
will not be changed.—It is I believe, true that
some doubts were entertained by those not
politically his very ardeut friends, whether he
supported the policy of the President as to
our Navy and Military establishments. But
by those of hii opposite feeling, these suspi
cions have been considered as unfounded,
and calculated to injure his character. 1
presume therefore, that “ the Trio” will not
claim any merit fur Mr. Crawford upon the
ground of liia opposition to these establish
incuts. If then we are to consider a bold
and decided course against the power of the
general government, and in favor of tliu
slates—or to express the same thing differ
ently, a rigid adh rence to a strict constructi-
of the constitution, as the evidence ofde
inocratie principles ; with wiiat semblance
of truth can Mr. Crawford be called “ the on
lyprop of those principles in the administra'
tion?” Against three of its members, Mr
Adams, Mr. Thompson and Mr. Wirt, “ the
Trio” have not, nnd I presume cannot pro
duce any evidence of a departure from their
standard of political correctness. It has sn
happened that neither of these gentlemen
has p
“ the
against the republican party—and according
to their mode of judging, they ought in can
dor and fairness toprouounce them—and not
Mr. Cranford, the prop uf republican princi

Messrs. Editors :—Believing that you are
in the praetire uf publishing, when request-
d. any thing that may tend to Ihu general
good ofthe community, I have thought pro
per to make a few remarks on the present
mode of doing business in our Inferior courts
ind Courts of Ordinary. The plan now
pursued I believe to be productive of evil
consequences and uncertain in its operation,
from ! ’ie manner in which these courts are
stuhlished, the multiplicity uf business in
them, i*. the frequent calls for theii- sessions,
without the least compensation being allow
ed to those who perform the service. VVe
frequently see citizens from one county at
tending from time to time in another, to
have business transacted, and meeting with
disappointment, because the members of
these courts find the duty i>urthensome,Sz are
not willing to neglect their own interest to
attend so frequently to tile business of others,
without a reasonable compensation. Thus
public business is often neglected. Where
as if provision were made by law for such
services, proper attention would be given,
and we should have men of better talents to
fill those offices throughout the state. If is
acknowledged almost by every one, that the
present mode docs not give the satisfaction
wished for. Nearly all agree that some
change is necessary. Although it may he
thought the change I would propose of pay
ing the Justices of the Inferior Courts and
Courts of Ordinary for their services may he
unpopular, yet I do think the people would
give it their approbation, should the Legisla
ture in tbeir wisdom deem it proper to pass
a law to that effect. I would respectfully
propose, that the Grand Juries ofthe seve
ral counties in the state, who may lie con
vened between this time and the session of
the Legislature, recommend to that body
some alteration in those Courts, by which
more general satisfaction may be fivcR^
PROSPECTUS
Of a A'ewspaper, to be published in the City of
Mobile, Alabama, under the title of the
Mobile Commercial Register,
T HE rising importance of the itute of Alaba
ma ; its progress in wealth end respecta
bility, in which its sea-ports so largely partici
pate, notwithstanding llieseverily of the times;
its many advantages, both as to commerce and
agriculture ; ami its consequent Increasing
Height in the great national scale,—are cir
cumstances which cannot but lie viewed with
peculiar interest, hy those holding frequent and
profitable intercourse with the stale, ns well as
by ils retjdent citizens, and Justsfy the antici
pation that another commercial paper, if pro
perly conducted, will meet with the necessary -
patronage, at least to preserve its existence.
Ibider these circumstances, and encouraged
hy the solicitations and assurances of friends
in the several parts of this as well as in other
states, the subscribers venture to offer their ser*
vices, to their friends ond the public, us editors
of a new journal, principally relying on tli»
exercise of their, commercial experience ns
one department, and tliutof their industry in
another, to render the puolicatiou useful and
amusing to tbsir mercantile and agricultural
friends.
The advantages of a well regulated press in
disseminating useful information ; in inculcat
ing salutary principles ; in bringing into notice
new sections uf country, and disclosing theif
resources,—have been too often and too ably
discussed to require further comment.
