the holy Teague. ‘fibaco (Train slated lor the Boston Bal ly Advertiser.) In the * ante of the 7My end lads visible Trinity . Their Majesties, the Emperor of Austria, the King of Prussia, and the Emperor of Russia, in consequeftce of the great events ‘which have distinguished, in Eu-, tope, the course of the three last j years, and especially of the bles-j sings which it has pleased Di- j vine Providence to shed upcn| ’those states whose governments have placed their confidence and then hope in it alone, having ac quired the thorough conviction, that it is necessary for ensuring their continuance, thatthe several powers, intheir mutual relations, adopt the sublime truths which* are pointed out to us by the eter rial religion of the Savior God; , Declare solemnly, that the present act has no other object than to show in the face of theu tiiverse their unwavering deter-, ruination to adopt for the only rule of their conduct, both in the administration of their respective states, and in their political rela tions with every other govern snent, the precepts of their holy religion, the precepts of justice, of charity and of peace, which, far from being solely applicable to private life, ought, on the con trary, directly to influence the re solutions of princes, and to guide all their undertakings, as being the only means of giving stability to human institutions, and of re medying their imperfections. Their Majesties have there fore agreed to the folio wing arti cles : Akr. 1. in conformity with She words of the Holy Scriptures, Which command all men to re gard one another as brethren, the three contracting monarch s will remain united by the bonds of a true and indissoluble fraternity, and considering each other as compatriots, they will lend one another on every occasion, and in every place, assistance, aid, h support; and regarding their sub jects and armies, as the fathers of their families, they will govern them in the spirit of fraternity with which they are animated, for the protection of religion, peace h justice Art. n. Therefore the only / governing principle betweeen the above mentioned governments Ik their subjects, shall be that of rendering reciprocal services ; ol testifying by an unalterable benef icence the mutual affection with which they ought to be animated; ©f considering all as only the members ot one Christian nation the three allied princes looking upon themselves as delegated b) Providence to govern three bran ches of the same family ; to wit: Austria, Prussia, and Russia ; confessing Ukewise.that the chris tian nation of which they an their people form a part, have re ally no other sovereign than hin So whom alone power belongs ol right, Because m him alone arf* found all the treasures of love, ol science and of wisdom; that is tcv Say, God, our divine Savior Jesus : - ChrisVthe word of the MostHigh, the word of life. Their Majes-, ties therefore recommend, With the most tender solicitude to their people, as the only means of en joying that peace which springs from a good conscience Sc which alone is durable, to fortify them- I selyes every day more and more in the principles and exercise of the duties which the divine Sa ylor has pointed out to us. | Art. hi. All powers which wish solemnly to profess the sa cred principles which have dicta ted this act, and Who shall ac knowledge how important it is to the happiness of nations, too long disturbed, that these truths shall henceforth exercise upon human destinies, all the influence which belongs to them, shall be received with as inuch readiness as affec tion, into this holy alliance.

The narrow and tyrannnical policy of the French government, has gradually banished the most useful and illustrious men from Fr ince.—Soult, whom Buona-! parts pronounced the tactician of the age, “has received an invi tation to enter the Russian serv ice. Every man of military, polit ical and scientific eminence, has been pressed by the Emperor A lexander to settle in his empire. America, however, has been prefered by LAcepede the natur alist, and Chaptall the chimist; they have declined the invitation of the Emperor, arid are preparing to settle in the United States, Southern Patriot The London ’’TimesT speak ing of American Finance, thinks the establishment of a National Bank, would be attended with “beneficial effects” to this coun try. After paying some high and, We doubt not, deserved com pliments to the abilities of Alex ander Hamilton,,it concludes With observing “Whenever a National Bank is established in the United States, it will be a proud tribute to >he memory of a statesman whose value was not fully appre ciated by his countrymen, until they had to deplore his loss.” Ibid . Elastic Marble of Massachusetts . Some time ago, Dr. Mitchell ‘xhibitted to the New York Phi- Society a specimen of vmerican Elastic Marble, mea uring four feet in length, three iches in breadth, and one inch n tnickness. The slab was of a nowy whiteness, of a grained tructure* and of a remarkable flexibility, %Te bad received V )f Messrs. Norris & Kain, wbc. got it from the quarry irt Pittsfield Massachusetts. Since the receipt of this extraordinary sample, another one, of a fair more consid* able size, has been procured b> Mr. Meyher, from Stockbridge. This he is preparing for a'place in Dr. Mitchel’s cabinet of Miner alogy. The dimensions of this stone are as follow: breadth one foot and ten inches, length five feet, and thickness two inches ; making a mass of two thousand six hundred and forty cubic inch es of elastic marble. This slab when shaken undul ates sensibly backwards and for wards; when suppored at the two extremeties the middle forms a curve of about two inches from a horizontal line ; and when turned* over recovers itself, and inclines as much the other way. It has many other curious properties. The substance under considera tion has been a 1 ready described by Mr. Meade, in a memoir prim ed in the American Miner al Journal; and New York prob ably now contains the largest piece that the world can pro duce. N T. Paper . An “Etymologist” thinks “it ridiculous to call Reticles (the la dies’ little pocket bags) Ridicules ” —We doubt the etymology. A u reticle is a little net—and we think, that since the good old cus tom of wearing pockets among the ladies has been exploded, the term of Ridicule applied to the pockets they carry in their hands is quite appropriate. Extract of a letter from Marseilles, dated Feb. 8. 18*6, received in\ Baltimore . Lord Wellington gave a dinner &t Paris a short time since, in commemoration of the burning of Washington. In consequence, the American gentleman gave a (dinner in commemoration of the Famous victory at New Orleans. They carried their toasts to the printer to publish. He said he would with pleasure, but the po lice would not permit him. Some few were published in f rench, but so mutilated they were no longer the same.
