With pleasure we are able
ro state, that by the middle of
the ensuing month, (b irring ach
Cideats) the American Advocate
will appear on a beautiful Type,
small size, and bat little worn.
And we hope by that time, to be
able -to procure a large and better
quality of paper, together with
good ink. We hope our patrons
will bear with the present ap
pearance till the above- mentioned
time. Oar subscription is yet
small, but, we trust, by proper at
tentton to business, that a fiiore
liberal support will be extended.
The smallest favors will be most
greaifuily acknowledg and.

The government of England
have given up general Cambron
neto the vengeance of the Rour
b ms. This perhd his act bor
rows a deeper dye from the bra
very and exalted rank of that of
ficer. He commanded the F reach
imperial guard at the battle of
Waterloo; when he was sur
rounded with a part of Ins corps.
On being required to surrender j
themselves prisoners of war, he
replied that the imperial guards
knew how to 4*e hut not to sur
render. He Was soon alter shot’
through the body, taken prisoner,
and carried to England. As soon
ns he recovered from his wounds
his “ most generous enemy”
dooms him in ail probability to
the scaffold, there ta expiate his
fidelity to France, and his hero
ism at Mount St. John! When
liberty and philosophy crossed
the Atlantic or the chann !, hon
or seems to have fled from Eng
land Also, It is pretty evident
from the played by England in the
murder of so many French ofH
cers, .that her object in preserving
Bonaparte’s life is the exaction
of a ‘more passive compliance
from the Bourbons,

I condole With you on the death

It Seems that some desperate \

ope that city in flames. On l ues |

paper containing a fuse of pow
der was deposited under the gate;
tufa small wooden house in Queen

liber cause prevented the cor bus

was made by throwing coals of
fire into a pile of shavings in the
passage of a house leading from
Gilion street.
