The emperor Alexander having
visited the Institute? M Lacretelle,
- tile president, .addressed him, to
which the emperor replied—
‘ I have always admired the pro
gress which the French have made
in the sciences and letters. /Fhey
have’gVeatly contributed to spread
throughout Europe the lights of

The Israelitish sanhedrim and the
protestant consistory had signified
their adhesion.
Marshal Serrurier, [uncle to the
French minister in this country]
governor of the invalids and senator,
concurred in the dethronement of
Bonaparte.
On the 4th April, Bonaparte
reviewed the troops at Fontainbieau,
and the marshals and generals having
learnt the revolution which had ta
ken place at Paris, copferaed togeth
er* <nd spoke so loud that Napoleon
heard them. He affected, however,
not to listen, and the review being
ended marshal Ncv entered the pa
lace with him, anti folio wed him to
his cabinet.’ He asked him if he
knew of tho great revolution that hap
pened at Paris ? Bonaparte answered
that he knew nothing of it. Ney
then handed him the Paris newspa
pers. He seemed to be reading
them with attention, in order to gain
time for an answer. Marshal Lefe
bre entered, and said with an hnima,;*
ted accent, to the ci-devant emperor
—“You are lost I you would not
listen to the adviceofany of your old
se- vants: the senate has pronounced
your destination. ,r These words
made so awful an impression upon
the man who was accustomed to re
gard himself as above all laws, that
he burst into'a flood of tears. After
some moments of reflection, he wrote
an act of abdication in favor of his
son. Afterwards he proposed to
march for Italy with the 20 00 0 pven
he had at Fontainbieau, and join
p! mte Eugene, He repeated several
times—“ If I arriva l am certain of
being ackowledged by all Italy. a He
- am reviewed his troops* and his
countenance was ‘ pale and altered,

would follow him ? w No, Sir!” an»-

*• Every thing is said, then* which

Bonaparte.
The marshals, who had been sent
to Paris, returned, and Ney entered
the first.
“ Have you succeeded ?’* asked
Bonaparte.

r nu 1 attention on the subjects that came*
un ier .kdiberanon, particularly on questions
connected with the prosecution of the war,
and on the deliberated question of remitting
the m -rchams’ bouds Amidst these pursuits
he found time however, to add to his stock of
mihtOrv information. Be fore he left the seat

and gave that opinion. He at this moment
was about to eogage in a dangerous service,
in a subordinate command, wh*ch might sub
ject him to disagreeable responsibility and
mortification, But his resolution was unalte
rably taken, and he repaired to the field, which
for a long time promised few laurels. This
time however was wisely employed in discip
lining his corps, the important advantages of
which were most happily illustrated in the
battle of the Thames. The official letter of
Gen. Harrison to the Secretary of War has
made known hoy honorable a part the regi
ment sustained in that conflict. The regulars
of the enemy were vanquished at an single
though a desperate and hazardous charge
When the routed line of their sayage allies
was about to be rallied for anew conflict by
their leader Tecumseh, Col. Johnston seeing
the necessity of a bold and instant onset, re
paired t o the spot where this force was assem
bling With a daring band of followers. Ad
vancing, they received a most destructive fire
from them, which deprived Col. Johnston of
his friend, the intrepid and venerable Colonel
Wheatly, who fell by his side. After the fire
but one man remained on horseback near the
Colonel. This man‘escaped this imminent
exposure unhurt. The Colonel himself was
pierced with four bullets. At this instant he
saw tlie savage chief (Tecumseh as since ap
pears) presented his rifle, at his breast at not
more than 12 yards distance. With a resolu
tion, rare in so great peril, he faced his horse
upon him and received the ball, by this change
iof posture, in his left hand The savage
| drew his tomahawk and the Colonel at
» tempted to spur his horse to meet him. He
\ wore a spur only on his left foot, and having
received three gun shot wounds on this side
ihe wasunable to use it His horse too pierc
-1 ed with many wounds, advanced slowly upon
his adversary. In these moments of danger
he, with heroic presence of mind, preserved
\ his right arm from exposure, by keeping it
close to his side. In that hand he carried a
weH pbarged pistol. Thfreyes of his antago-
fixed upon him with the fiercest in
tent,his hand in act to throw his
.deadljr weapon at five yards distance. For a
savage shrunk \yith terror at this
’» unexpected danger, and in that moment the
. Colonel lodged its contents in his bosom
He felH, and his warriors gave contest
instaifcly. Col. Johnston now retired within
hisluae; for in this moment of peril, he had
been jp advance, faint with the loss of blood,
which streamed -from five wounds. The
horse .he rode expired, pierced with fifteen
bullets, and his coat Was literally torn to tat
ters by the balls of the enemy,
j “ During the return of the army the Colonel
was exposed to an inclement and stormy sky,
in an open boat for four days, descending to
Portage in the state of Ohio. His uncom
fortable situation and the torture arising from
his inflamed wounds was such as truly to put
a hero’s soul to trial. On landing, however,
painful as his case was, he resolved to prose
cute his journey home without delay. By
i this Step he hazarded little less than in the
i bsfcttle, though happily he eflfecredit without
material’ On hisjoilrney he had the
gratification to be every where received with
the utmost kindness and attention It was

February, he set out for the seat of govern

j continued to acquire strength during his

wreath of triumph without a wound, though
he passed through perils* that made the event
little less than a miracle, but the military
commander equally successful in vanqujshing
his country’s enemies, bore on his Mutilated
frame the honorable testimonials of the migh
ty dangers through which he had passed to
victory. By a resolution and presence of
mind never surpassed, he slew his ferocious
adversary hand to hand, while the latter had
greatly the advantage in weapon. His valo
rous deeds reflected not more lustre on his
character than did the modesty with which
he sustained his country’s applause. In this
the two Illustrious competitors “for fame were
equ&l. That constancy of soul which bore
them through- doubtful battle, was equally
conspicuous under the well-earned praise bes
towed upon them by their grateful country
men. Os the five wounds received by Col.
Johnston four were severe and dangerous.—

and severe as his wounds have been, there is 1

may long be useful to his country.

The following is the news from the Vice
roy under the date of April 14th, present year:
The army of operation under the command of
field marshal-don'Joseph Emanuel de Goyene
che, evacuated Potosi and retrea-ed-to Qruro,
in consequence of having lost the battle fought
by the vanguard division, commanded by ma
jor general Don Pius Tristan, before Saha, on
the 20th February, who capitulated with the
enemy, all the troops composing that division,
remaining prisoners of war, and permi.tir.g
them to return to their homes under oath of
not taking up arms against the revolutionized
provinces, ‘Fps event not only occasion, and
the retreat of the amiy toOruro, but its gene- .
ral, Goyeneche, proposed an arm.s o to Bel
grano, chief of the insurgents, who grau»ed
it for £bm da--s, and even solicited the vice
roy to send plenipotentiaries in order to rear
for an accomodation wi. h said ttelgrano.
* In such critical circumstances the viceroy con
vened a council of war, m order to consult on
the measures and precautions that were to be
taken : The council disapproved of the ar
mistice, and ordered Goyeneche to return to
Potosi with all the forces te-united, and con
tinue to seek Fcr the enemy in order to give
him at ’he same time, arrange
ments for preparing tn Lima a reinforce mem
of troops, artillery, ammunitions and otefcsils.

take the command of the army, as Gdyeneche
had repea’.echy solicited to leave it The
viceroy considers that as the p* int:r.f Oruro
does not * fier. any advantage of stability, Goy
eneche shall continue his retreat to the Des
aguardero, as being a situation ©n the line,
and proper to hinder the enemy from enter
ing the kingdom of Peru; and although he
had given the most prompt at and efficack us or
ders to aveyt any kind of invasioh, he stated
his situation to be extremely critical because
the enemy being masters of »he fourpfovinces
of the Upper Peru, in case, as he was afraid,
they might have been entirely evacuated, the
enemy Would meet there with as many men as
he might want for his further operations, be
sides the good disposition manifested there
in favor of independence, he concluded with
pointing out the necessity of sending eight
thousand men to Montevideo, w ho, joining
those that are there, may get possession of the
capital of Buenos-Ayres, amt come on, subdu
ing the country to Upper Peru, sending also

from the revolutionary Assembly of Chile,
manifesting its wishes to be to the
kingdom of Peru, by acknowledging the re

that the colony of Osorno had followed the
same example, wherefore the viceroy With the
advice and consent of that audience, did de
cree the aggregation of those two places to the
kingdom under his charge, and gave the orders
which he thought proper for their preserva

This afternoon the most illustrious arch
bishop entered this city, and was received by
the people of Caraccas with the most joyful
acclamations. This illustrious pastor wit
nessed in the city of Valencia (where he was
when vigorously defended) the most horrid
and sacrilegious deeds perpetrated by the
banditti of the west, led on by Cebakos, Cal
zado and other Spaniards. He has seen the
\ tabernacle and other sacred vases taken out ;
\ of the filthy places, and knows also that a
* woman has been violated and murdered with
in the church of God; he is finally shocked at
the irreligion , and- sacrilegious attempts of
our ferocious enemies, who profane and set
fire to the churches wherein we have received
the sacred religion of our fathers, a religion
which we respect, and for which we would
sacrifice out lives. The illustrious archbish
op has declared the most lively satisfaction
in finding himself among a religious and
Chris’ lun people, who love his virtues, and
*the zeal and interest manifested by him in the

Head Quarters at Valencia,

Translated for the New Tark Evening
Post •
Paris, April 7.
All Paris have h.-en struck with horror by
reading in'the Journals, that Bonaparte had
given orde- s on the 30rh,of March xo explode
the powder magazine of Grenelle ; this mag.’
azine contained 240,000 pounds of powder,
50,000 infantry cartridges,2s,ooo cannon cart
ridges, with 3000 ball shells loaded and a great
quantity of rockets Those who remember
what happened in 1704, the explosion of the
magazine in the plain of GreneUe, when there
was only 30,000 lbs of powder, can easily re
dal to their minds the frightful disaster which
would havd resulted from the explosion of a
magazine of one hundred times the quantity.
The greatest part of the capital would have
been entirely ruined, and it was without doubc
this last shock, which they mehaced us with
some time since, and which would have been
felt by present and future generations This
plot was so atrocious and contrary to human
ity that many persons could not credit it.
Not ro leave any doubts on the subject, how
ever, we shall transcribe a letter which has
been addressed to us by the officer who had
the charge of the magazine itself His majes
ty the Emperor Alexander, has been so much
pleased with the noble conduct of this, brave
officer, that he has expressed a wish to make
him his acknowledgements ip person, and to
recompense him for the inestimable set vice
which he has rendered the capital, promising
to honor him with the decoration of the order
of St Ann, of the second class. Here follows
t he letter 6f M._ De Lescourt.
Pan's April 5, 18 ‘4.
“ My dear Sir—“ I have communioated
to some friends only the good fortune which I
have experienced in preventing a horrid catas
trophe from befalling the city of Paris From
those friends you probably have before this
time learnt the fact. A simple act of duty
ought perhaps to have remained unknown j
but since you have given it publicity, I beg you
will receive from me the details, and publish
them in your ne^kt.
** I was engaged the of the attack
upon Paris in assembling at the field of Mars
the horses necessary to carry off the artillery.
About nine o’clock in the evening a colonel on
horseback arrived near the gates of St. Domt*
nick, where I then was Stationed, asked to
speak with the directory general of artillery.
I presented myself. -Sir said he to me, is the
magazine of Grenelle removed ? No, I answer
ed) nor can it be done. Then, replied he
“ *we must blow it up immediatelyP
At these words I shuddered without reflecting
that I need not,be alarmed since the order did
not come from proper authority. Will you
hesitate sir, said he to me ? After a moment’s
reflection I recollected myself, and fearing
that he might give a similar order to other per
sons in and about the magazine, I replied that 1
should set about the business immediately.
He disappeared. Master of this terrible se
cret I kept it in my ojvh breast. But knowing
that the minister of war, and the genera! in
chief of the artillery had quirted Paris some
hours, I waqconfident the order could not have
originated with them, and determined not to
regard it.

DREADFUL TORNADO.
#
Chilicoihe . (1 ) June 4«
On the 20th tilt, Just be lore sun set> a tre*
mendoUs tornado accompanied with thunder*
lightning, and rain, passed through the ves*
tern district of tips country Its aspect oti
approaching was appalling and terrible in rhe
extreme. Like the fiery durlingvoiurhes o^ 1
smoke which issue from the crater of a vol«
tano, the clouds fey a rapid vertical motion*
mounted aloft in rhe atmosphere, while they
moved forward with prodigious Celerity. Its
course was northerly and easterly making its
destructive progress W tfh awful desolations &
upturning, the loftiest as well as humblest
‘ ,ree * °f the forest, driving their torn branches
and leaves to a leaguers distance or more*
• throwing down fences, covering the farms
with dead timber .carry ipg off the roof of hou
ses, and even basing some ,of them to their
foundations. The track of this hurricane, ta
ken in its greatest latitude, and particularly
where it crossed the road from Chilicothe t<*
Lebanon is about t\yo miles wide ; but the
most remarkable part of the ruin may bs
estimated at a mile and quarter wide. Scarce
one tree in a thousand is styn standing A*
bout two thirds of the forest trees are thrown
down to the earth in every direction, while
the other yhird are broken off 10, 15, 20, and
00, feet, leaving their riven, shivered and denu
dated stumps, the awfully impressive mon*
unients of the power which destroyed them*.
Through the good providence of him wh®
riderir on the wings of the wind, no human
creatures has been hurt, as far as yet knowtu
It is a fact truly remarkable that the Concord
meeting house and grove around it received
no injury whatever though situated in the ve
ry midst of the tempest’s course, and thouglt
footsteps of ruin were every where awfully
visible around the favored spot. The oldest
persons living in the neighborhood say they
never before seen a storm so,dreadfully alar
ming and ruinous.
