NOTES AND ANECDOTES,
Political anti mioccllaneout, from the Port
folio oj an Officer of the Empire.
FOIICItC.
It seems to he the fate of men placed on thrones
to distrust their host friends, and to weary them
out with unjust suspicions Ido not intend to
examine into the fact, whether Touche, soured
by disgrace in 1810, I,crania a traitor in 1815.
i lie conduct ot the minister at ibis period is very
naturally explained, in an answer which he gave
to a question addressed to him by the Emperor,
at the moment of his sotting out on tho cam
paign of 1809.
\Vhat will you do, Touche, should I happen
to die by a cannon ball or other accident !
I would seize a much power as I could, to avoid
the necessity of being governed hy events.
Very good ; it is the privilege ul tho game.
VV hat I wish to say here is, that Touche was
tho host minister of Napoleon, and the ono best
p.accj to boos service to him. After having
suppressed the revolution, Napoleon as Tirst Con
sul. or Emperor, was engaged in bringing about
a reaction. Touche was the only minister who
moderated this movement, useful and necessary if
arrested at a given point, but dangerous if pushed
beyond.
i he Emperor was inclined to sec only ene
mies among those over whom he had immediately
triumphed. Ho forgot tbit those very persons
hud themselves conquered others, and that those
others would not pardon him for having finally
profiled hy the first victory.
Touche was convinced that the royalists wore
the true enemies ot the Emperor. He took caro
of. and de'onded tho Jacobins, over whom his
farmer connections enabled him to exercise a
very great moral influence; and ho oppressed,
with the whole veiglit of hia hatred, the royalists,
whom ho had learnt to appreciate correctly. This
conduct of Touche, contrary to the private opin
ions of the Emperor, gave rise to frequent and
violent quarrels between Napoleon and hia Minis
ter.
When, after tho explosion of the third Nivosc,
tho Tirst Consul returned to the Tuillorics, tho
calnt' which he had preserved during tho whole
evening at the opera, gave place to a terrible fit
of passion. Ilia fiist accusation was, as usual,
against the Jacobins, and indirectly, in ambiguous
terms, against Touche himself. Tho Minister
perceived it, his disgrace appeared imminent, but
bo did not bend ; without a moment’s hesitation
he defended the Jacobins, and accused the royal
ists. Even afterwards, when the truth was
known, Napoleon did not forgive his Minister,
not because he had suffered so dangerous a con
spiracy to bo consummated, but because bo had
been in the right in opposing him and his secret
affection*.
Tho Minister, who could not be openly struck,
was assailed through his department, Tho Mi
nistry of Police was suppressed, and that depart
ment was annexed to tho Ministry of Justice,
i his was an error, and a most serious one. The
chief judge Minister of Justice, called (ho Police
the disgraceful part of his ministry, Tho Police
wanting, undet his management, the direction ne
cessary to so complicated a department, suffered
tho conspiracy of Georges to break out.
Touche always appeared to me the very model
of a minister for a free government succeeding a
revolution. Ho possessed, under tho consulate
end lha empire, the merit, at that time very rare,
of having nn opinion of his own on men and
thing*, of daring to support it against a master
who suffered little contradiction, and of acting
in keeping with that opinion. Touche alone
under the consulate ami the empire, was really n
minister; after his disgrace, there wore only
■clerks, very good tor executing or transmitting
order*, but incapable themselves of any important
step.
In 18119, after the battle of Tiding, so fatal to
our eayalcy, at the moment that NapuUon, having
hia hriJgos on the Danube carried away, saw his
Rrnty separated by that river, and placed in a pe
rilous situated, which exacted of hint prodigies of
valor and genius, information was brought to
Pans that Lord Chatham, brother of Pill, at the
bead of an English expedition, having carried
Flushing, was advancing upon Antwerp, and
threatened Belgium. On tho receipt oflhia news,
the Prince Arch-Chancellor assembled a council
of Ministers. Touche, who had returned to the
Ministry in 1804, assisted at it. His advice was
lo appeal immediately to tho National Guards,
and to send them against the enemy.
“What would the emperor and the army say,
if Franco, defended by them abroad, should suiter
iter hearths to bo insulted while waiting their as
sistance!’’
Euch were the words of the Minister of Police.
The Arch-Chancellor replied:
“Monsieur Touche. I do not wish to have my
head cut olf. I have despatched a courier to the
Emperor—wo must await his answer.”
“And for my pail,” replied the Minister of
Police, “ I will do my duty while awaiting it.”
On that voty day, while the Arch-Chancellor,
the Minister of War, and the Minister of the In
terior guarded silence, tho Minister of Police ad
dressed lias manifesto to the bravery of Trench
men. and ordered the National Gua ds through
out tho empire to march. From -this circum
stance one may sec what a man Touche was—
what energetic influence he was capable of giv
ing to public affair*. The seventeenth day after
the circular of the Minister, the department of
the north set in motion the last detachment of
B levee of 11.O0U man. in uniform, armed and
equipped. M. de Pomraercuil was Preftctof this
de|sirt)nciil, 'Phi' department of Moselle, equal,
ly distinguished itself on this occasion ; it had M.
de Vuublano for Prefect, who has since lived
through the whole Restoration on his reputation
of a good Prefect under the empire. The Eng
lish expedition retired precipitately before the
T rench militia, to whom Toueho had giveq the
Prince of Ponte-Corvo fur Chief, much a* he was
ftlft offivor at that moment,
J'ho Emperor cither could not or dared not
blame the Minister of Police ; but ho openly ex
pressed his dissatisfaction that, in hi* empire, tiny
single Minister had sufficient power tq raise etiJ
to arm the whole country,
The secret of tho second disgrace of Touche,
is, perhaps, to bo found in tbe great service which
he rendered lo the Emperor in 1809. It was de
terred for onp yea;, and attributed to an entirely
different cause—,to a cause to which the Eropo
for, in fttll council of ministers, gave all the grav
ity of a charge of high treason, hut which, at
bottom, had nothin: serious in it, if it was not a
farce p spared on purpose.

Affecting Instance of Feu alb Devo
tedness.—About twelve months ago wn saw
at tfre bar ot a police office an ill-looking
powerful young fellow who was undergo ng
ait examination, on the very common charge
of having, on the previous night, ill-treated a
woman, with whom he lived in some court
hard by. Several witnesses bore testimony
lo acts of gross brutality ; and a certificate
was read Irom tho house-sug' un of a neigh
boring hospital, describing the nature of the
injuries the woman had received, intimating
that her recovery was extremely doubtfixT
Some question appeared to have been raised
about the identity of the prisoner; for when it
was agreed that the 2 magistrates should visit
the hospital ut eight o’clock that, evening, to
take Iter deposition, it was settled that the
man should be taken there also, lie turned
deadly pale at this, and we saw him clench
the bar very hard when the order was given.
He was removed directly afterwards, and he
spoke not a word. Wo felt nn irrepressible
curiosity to Witness this interview, although
it is hard to tell why at th s instant, for we
knew it must he a painful one. It was no
very difficult matter for us to gain permission,
and we obtained it. The prisoner and officer
I who had him in cu.lody, were already at the
hospital when we reached it, and waiting the
arrival o( the magistrates in a small room be
low stairs. The min was handcuffed, and
his hat was pulled forward over Ins eyes. It
was easy to see, though hy the livid white
ot itis countenance, and (he constant twitch
ing of the muscles of his lace, that he dread
ed wlmt was to come. A ter a short interval
we were conducted to the “casually ward,” m
which she was lying. She was a line young
woman of about two or throe ami twenty. Her
long black hair had been hastily cut from the
wounds on her head; and streamed over the
pillow in jagged and matted locks. Her face
bore frightful marks of the ill tisag • she had
received; her hand was pressed upon her side,
us if her chief pain was there; her breathing
was short and heavy; and it was plum to see
that she was dying fast. She murmured a
few word* in reply to the magistrate’s inquiry,
whether she was in great pain ; and having
been raised on the pillow by the nurse, looked
anxiously into tho strange countenances that
surrounded her bed. The magistrate nodded
to tho officer lo bring the man forward. He
did so, and stationed him at the bed side. The
girl looked on, with a wild and troubled ex
pression of face; but her sightwas dim, and
she did not know him. “Take oft'his hat,”
said tho inasgislratis. The officer did as he
was desired, and tho Rian’s features wore ful
ly disclosed.
The girl started up, with an energy quite
preternatural; tho (ire gleamed in Iter heavy
eyes, and the blood rushed to Iter pale and
sunken checks. It was a convulsive effort.
She fell back upon her pillow, and covering
her scarred and bruised face with Iter hands,
burst into tears. The man cast an anxious
look towards her, hut otherwise appeared
wholly unmoved. After a brief pause tho na
ture of their errand was explained, and the
oath tendered. “Oh no, gentlemen ” said (he
girl, raising herself once more, and folding her
hands together; “no, no, gentlemen! I did
it myself-—it was nobody’s fault—it was an
accident. lie did'nt hurt me; ho would'nl
for the world. Jack, dear Jack; you know
you wouldn’t.” Her sight was fast failing
her, and her hand groped over the bed-clotbcs
in acarclt of bis, in vain. Brule as the man
was, bo was not prepared for this. He turn
ed bis face front the bed, and sobbed aloud.
The girl’s color changed, and Iter breathing
grew more difficult. Him was evidently dy
ing. “Wo respect the (celings which prompt
you to this,” said the gentleman who had spo
ken first, “hut lot me warn yon not to persist
in what you know to be untrue, until it is too
laic. It cannot save him.” “Jack,” mur
mured the girl, laying her hand upon his arm.
“they shall not persuade me to
life nway. Ho didn’t do it, gentlemen. He
never hurt me.” She grasped his arm tightly,
and added, in a broken whisper, “I hope God
Almij hlly will forgive me all the wrong I hate
done, and the life 1 have led. God bless you,
Jack. Some kind gentleman take my love
to my poor old father. Five years ago, ho
s till he wished 1 had died a child. Oh, 1 wish
I hid! Iw.sh I had I” The nurse bent over
the girl a lew seconds, and limit drew the
sheer over her tace. It covered n corpse.—

THE TREASURY CIRCULAR.
The Treasury Circular will not be
rescinded by Mr. Van Burnt! This, we
understand, is now the fiat at Washington.
Tim people of the middle age*, never fixed
their eyes more intently upon Rome, when a
I’apal 801 l was about to be fulminated, than
do we, a free people (what mockery in the
nami!) now upon Washington for everything
of hope, or dread. Fact it is, that Mr. van
Buren indirectly authorized the Van Bttrett
Senators of the North, and the West, and the
South-West to report, as they returned to
their homes, that the Treasury Circular would
soon be rescinded ; but fact it is also, that the
finger of “Ok Hickory” but shaken at him
in wrath, is more terrible in his eyes than all
the convulsions of an afflicted people. It is
understood, that Mr. Van Buren would repeal
ilia Treasury Circular but he dure not. King
Log shivers like an aspen leaf at the very
croak of King Stork !
This is a popular government wo are told !
Congress is the authorized Exponent of the
will of the people! The voice of this people
is the voice of Godl Beautiful all this in the
ory, and delicious to dwell upon, but what
nonsense it is in our practice now ! The prin
ciple of the Treasury Circular for example,
when first proposed in the United States Sen
ate, just before the Summer adjournment oftbe
last Congress, met with tho support of but
| .»ue vole, .arid that vy as Thomas ll f) tut on
;* “solitary end alone.” But the moment Con
ft gross was off, the fiat of the President made it
h law. Congress aaaetnbled a tram. But seven
‘t | Senators out of 52 supported the Circuit, and
i an immense majority m the Home p ts/cd an
act repealing it, and putting it out of the puw
'• cr of tin President to issue such a circulars
v gam. The President approves it! Oh no.
i lie vetoes it! Oh no. But be pockets it till
? Congress adjourns, lie dares not veto it, for
c be it will pass, but be pockets it till
a Congress is off, when it cannot become a law.
1 Now there are those, who in the face of
y these facts tell us, this is a popular govern
° ment! There are those who cry down the
the despotism of Austria, and Russia, and
e who chuckle over “ the sublimity of American
g freedom.” What a lesson is but the pl-ttn
h statement of these facts to the oppressed of
tl Poland, and of Italy, to rest quiet iu their
l subjection, (or no where on this broad earth,
• dare a tyrant outrage his people more I
1 Congress has spoken with all the power
3 with which it could speak, &has commanded
d the repeal of the Treasury Order. But Con
h gross alone is not thconly authority that com
t- mauds. If Mr. Van Bitten is deaf lo the
8 voice of Congress, is he deaf to the thunders
e of popular clamor 1 ! If so, the bolts of indig
h nation will soon reach his ear. The Whigs
L ’ ’of the whole Union speak, and they, be it ever
0 remembered, are now a majority of the people,
■ as w.s proved by the last Presidential election
r —but the Whigs alone do not speak. All
B parlies have but one common cry on this sub
-5 joct, and that is, Repeal the Treasury
• Circular. New York is not only the city
1 that rings with the cry—but every city on the
I Atlantic, and every city on the Lakes, rings
- with a loud response.
Our letters from Washington, and the
• Journals ot the new Stales, (from VVittcon
-1 sin in particular,) tell us that large sales in
> the public lands are yet going on, —Twenty
I five Millions of dollars, we shall again
r probably have as a revenue from that source.
'■ Is Mr. Van Buren mad enough to force tbe
people to pay for all this in specie, while the
merchants in the Atlantic Slates can pay
' in paper for all their Custom House dues?
. Who gave him a right to distinguish between
I one class of public debtors and another?
■ Who authorised him lo inflict this stigma
1 upon the West! If the Experiment is to be
i pushed, why not push it out, and drive the
I importer to the Custom House with his cart
loads of dollars and cents, as well os ti e land
purchaser of the West?
In this condition of things, wo say unhesi
tatingly, and we say it with the knowledge of
tho fact that the publication will meet with
many European eyes,—this is no longer a free
government,—our Constitution is disregarded
—the public voice is mocked at in scorn, —an
Executive tyranny oppresses us, and then
laughs at our complaints—there is no equali
ty,—unequal laws are promulgated, and were
there not tbe means of Revolution established
' at the Polls by law,—with no standing army
I in our way, the quicker we resolved to throw
off such a yoke, the better for that Liberty
I and Equality of which we boast. Our only
i remedy is the Polls. It is the remedy of ike
law. Whoever suffers must resort there for
redress.
Loss of the brio General Warren. —
' A passenger who arrived in this city yester
day, states that the brig General Warren,
Captain Hart, bound from Mobile to New
York, was lost on the Bahama Banks, on the
17tli of last month. The passengers, Samu
el Keene, William Armstrong, Daniel Wal
ters and John Waldic, wore fourteen days on
the rocks, and experienced great suffering.
We learn that the cargo-tvas principally sa
ved. It happened that in consequence of a
Cuba slaver being wrecked upon a neighbor
; ing rock ut about the same lime, no attention
was paid to the unfortunate passengers and
mariners of the General Warren; the men
belonging to the lighters and other boats that
came off being engaged in taking off the
slaves and cargo of the Spaniard. The ves
sel struck on a low key 100 miles from the
neatest inhabited port, and the condition of
■ the long boat was such that they dared not
! venture in her lo sea. A wrecker was at
length induced to carry them lo Nassau, N.
P.» .. hence they sailed for this city, with tho
exception of the captain, who remains to take
care of the properly of the owner, Mr. Gideon
Howell, of Now York.— Phil. Inquirer.

A great match race was recently run over tho

Having expressed the intention to vote in
favor of granting the Millcdgovillo Bank the pri
vilege of locating a branch in this city, wc shall
’ now slate briefly the reasons hy which wo are in
fluenced to take that course. We are interested
in no Dank whatever, and entertain neither lecl
ings of partiality or hostility to any. Banks are
created for the double purpose of subserving the
interests of tho community and promoting the
; private interests of individuals. The legislature
i has the former of these objects in view in granting
charters, and tho stockholders are influenced hy
the latter in investing their funds. Tho in
( tcrcsts of the public arc subserved by affording a
safe and convenient circulating medium ; facili
■ luting exchanges between diflerent parts of the
. country, and enabling mercantile men ly loans
| and discounts, to carry on their business with
convenience and punctuality. So long as they
act up to the cud for which they arc created, and
. confine themselves lo the strict and proper princi
ples of Banking, they deserve the encouragement
of the public and ate a public benefit. The idea
of a metalic currency in the present ago of tbe
world is perfectly preposterous and absurd. The
, amount of capital invested in banking should al.
ways be cot respondent lo the business of the com
munity in which it is located; or rather it should
| be correspondent to that amount of business,
, which, by its aid, the community may be capable
. of doing. Bank capital, properly used for the
i legitimate ends of Banking, exerts a powerful in
i fluencc in increasing and extending tho business
of a place, by enabling mercantile men to meet
I their contracts with punctuality; to keep on band
, stock* adequate to the wants ol their customers—
i to exlcud reasonable indulgence to their country
1 debtors—to enable them to bear up against the
j pressure* which often come suddenly upon the
; commercial world. By its timely aid, merchants
I ate often enabled lo maintain unimpaired their
credit, which might otherwise, however good
| their business, bo destroyed,
t Wo are of opinion that the business of Augus
ta might be increased by an augmentation of its
‘ Banking Capital. Either the capital at present
invested here is not sufficient, or else it is so used
, as not to meet the wants of ths community. At
’ the present time our city is filled with complaints
| that msney cannot be had from the Banks; Cot
ton i. at tm(h a price that Planters will not sell.
■ml therefore neither pa; Up their exuling Joes
• or make purchases fur cash, thus leaving the
j Merchant without the means of mealing his hus
| in ess engagements. 'i’he Constitutionalist ot
. Wednesday, in commenting upon this subject
. says that none have been injured by the contrac
■ lion of the Hanks, and fur this, gives the Banks
‘ great credit for past good management. We
I think the credit is due to the Merchants, fur be
ing able at a time like this, to sustain themselves
f with little or no aid from the Banks; and that it
. is nothing to the credit of the Bonks to refuse
' accommodation to a community of Merchants,
who have given such an evidence of soundness
and punctuality,
f Our own opinion is that there is not sufficient
r Banking capital in the place for its business,
■ and that what is already here, is not so managed
as to be productive of as great a quantum of good
as it might. There arc two praciices of the hanks
. here, one of which is in our judgment, suicidal,
. and the other highly detrimental to the mercan
! tile interests. The first is the rule to receive
’ none hut city paper in payment for checks on the
north ; and the other is the practice of exacting
r weekly settlements from each other. Os each of
, these we shall speak briefly,
i It is said to he the true principle of Banking
I that every hank should do business upon its own
‘ hills, keeping them as much as possible in circu
latum ; but the practice of requiring city bills in
payment for checks, is one of the most effective
i measures which could be devised, to bring hack
speedily and constantly upon the banks the
! hills which they have issued. This is the
point at which a very large portion of the
merchants of the interior, purchase exchanges
i upon the north. When a country merchant
wishes to make a remittance, he gathers up
all the bills he can find upon the Banks
of this place, and brings or sends them down—
i and thus one of principles of Banking, to
keep the notes of the Bank at as great a distance
from home as possible, is violated and effectually
’ prostrated by the action of the Bank itself. This
. policy, we think, is suicidal.
The other practice of requiring weekly settle
merits with each other is of no benefit to the com
munity while it is a great detriment. We undcr
. stand that where a balance is found against a
Bank, it is required to pay up the specie or else
a fourth of one per cent to bo let off. If such he
the fact, the consequences of this practice must
strike the mind of the most superficial observer.
Ist. It keeps up a general scramble among the
, Banks during the whole week, for each other’s
I bills, in order to prepare for Monday morning’s
trial.
Sd. It prevents discounts for city business, be
cause the Bank discounting, docs so with a strong
impending probability that the notes which it
pays out, will be returned upon it in less than a
week, by some of its neighbors, and specie de
manded fer it.
3rd. It'paralyses the Banks with smaller capitals,
while it cripples those with larger ones.
4th. It enables any Bank which refuses to do
a liberal accommodation business in the city to
speculate upon those which arc disposed to do so.
Thus—if Bank A discounts liberally, while Bank
B refuses to do so, the bills of A, being collected
in by B, may be returned upon it at the end of the
week and the quarter of a per cent demanded—
this done every week throughout the year, makes .
twelve and a half per cent; a pretty fair business,
without any risk and without any benefit to the
community.
slh. This practice makes it best for Banks to do
business upon the paper of other Banks, and
keep their own as much as possible within their
own walls.
6th. But we shall slop the catalogue. It is a
species of petty warfare, which to tho mind of
the disinterested observer is indicative of unneccs
sary suspicion of each other’s solvency. Settle
ments among Banks are necessary to keep all in
check and prevent over issues, but when they arc
1 repeated so often they lose their effect in the
eyes of the community, and are not looked to as
i evidences ol soundness, so much as if they were
! made quarterly.
To this we might add tho practice of some of
our Banks of sending large amounts of their
funds to the north to speculate in the paper of
! Southern merchants. While these funds arc at
tho north, the community here suffers, and besides
this, if our Banks wilt send their money to the
north, they should not object if Mr. Biddle sends
1 a portion of his to the south.
We may be wrong in some of the positions wo
have taken, as wo profess to know but little about
! Banking business. These arc our opinions how
ever, and if in error should bo glad to be put
, right, as nothing which has been said has been
. ‘‘set down in malice.”

3 On Thursday last the citizens of Norfolk gave

folk ns to Mr. Wise. It would indeed bo strange

POSTSCRIPT.
Half past one O’Clock
The Meeting.—A considerable number of
’ persons —perhaps some three or lour thousand—
! have been congregated in the Park since 12
' o’clock, in pursuance of a call, tho notices of which
■ have been posted very liberally about the streets
, fur some days past. A fair proportion of the as
, semblage is composed of persons evidently at
tracted by curiosity alone, and among these arc
I some thirty or forty women.
Job Haskell has been tho speaker for neatly
an hour, amusing his hearers by an exposition
, of the Loco Foco principles, anecdotes and droll
| sayings, which were received with much good
‘ humor.
1 The nomination of Mosos Jaques as a candi
■ date for tho mayoralty, was received with the
1 usual nine cheers, and a series of resolutions have
been read against high prices, rag money, Tam
many dictation, &c.
One of the resolutions disclaimed most earnest
i ly all disposition to acts of violence, and there is
; every appearance that it is sincerely responded to
by all or nearly all who are present.
From the N. Y. American, April 3.
, The Money Market is easier—negociallons
more practicable—and confidence increasing.
The nows of difficulties at New Orleans, prevents
•os much improvement aV might otherwise he
reasonably expected; but with time, and firm
self-reliance, ell will be well. There may
possibly lwj some failures, but the mass of mer
cantile credit is sound, well bused, and will be
fully sustained.

rSffiv. THIS Colehra'cd Racer will make
. AAffi —, bis first season at the HAMPTON
if . BmCOURSE, near Auguata, Go., under
ppyitl* direction of Mr. Freeman W.
‘ | JT f r Lacv, and helot to Mares, the ensu
es •=*»««» in* season, at One Hundred Dollars
the season, payable 25th December next, with One
Dollar to the Groom ; the season to commence the
15th February, and end the 15lh July next. It is re
quested that persons sending mores, will send a note
fur the season and a pedigree of the mare.
John Bascombo never having covered, his powers
as a foal-getter are, of course, unknown : such mares
therefore, as do not prove in loal, shall have tbs
benefit of another season, free of charge. Messrs.
Glascock & Lacy arc extensively provided with Lots
and Stables, fur marcs that may be sent to remain
with tlio li rso, and will bo led nt filly cents pet
d:iy. Mack servants, sent with marcs, led gratis.—
|j\ory care and attention will bo taken to guard
against accidents or escapes, hut no liability will be
incurred foreither. A report having gained circula
tion that John Bascombo would nut cover, I take
this method to contradict it, so far as he has not re
fused.
PEDIGREE.—John Bascombo is a light chesnul
fifteen and a half hands high,fine bone and muscle
vyith very superior limbs and action, six years old
the ensuing spring; he was got by the celebrated
horse Bertrand, sen , his dam was got by Pacolet.
and ho by imported Citizen; his grand dam by im
ported Buzzard ; and his great grand dam by Wadt
Hampton's Paragon, and he by imported Flimnap;
his dam by Harwell's Traveller, his grand dam Ca
millia, by old Fearnought ml of Calista, imported
by Col. Bird ; Burwoll's Traveller was by Morton’s
Traveller, out of Co), Bird’s Cdistn; Baseomhe’s
great great grand dam by imported Figure, his great
great grand dam was old Shamerkin, who was got
by imported Wildair, out of the imported Cub Mare.
Baseombe's performance on the Turf are of so re
cent dale, and consequently so well known, I deem
it unnecessary to trouble the public with any remarks
of mine, in relation to them, except to state that ho
has never lost a heat since he has been in my bawds
