His name was to terrible in the F.ait that the Women o! Palestine were acculfom ed to huih the cries of their chil dren by repeating it. On his re turn towards his own kingdom the Duke of Austria treacherously ar rested and imprisoned him. In the * xnean time his brother prince John with the aid of Philip II of France was endeavoring to suppl-mt him in /his government. The moment that Philip learned Richard had regained his liberty he informed his confederate, John of the event in a letter equally laconic and im preflive. One sh irt line gave fact, comment, and admonition. “ Take care of yourself! ibe devil is broke loose” Every one fees its perfect appli cation to B m iparte and the Allies. AS all present appearances seem to indicate that Belgium is to be the fi t theatie of the impending drug gie. it naturally attracts our partic ular attention. Belgium being the ancient name of that country, it has become, somewhat vague and in lefiaifeiri modern geography.—- U hr the Roman government the two B algae (first and second) in cmJed all ‘he territory (with small ex -prions) between the Seine and the R hine, extending back beyond the Moselle, perhaps 300 miles from the British channel; and com prised not only the Netherlands, how generally, since the treaty of Weftphafia lo called, bur Dutch Guelderland and the present de partments of Somme Ardennes, Aube, Marne and others in France. The na ne of Belgium is now, how ever l believe confined in its com , mon acceptation to the Netherlands, land this (a; the nameitfelf imports) e nbraces generally the low flat country between France & Holland. The principal provinces are Hai nault part of Luxemburg , and part of Flanders, owned or claimed by France ; the residue of Flanders & the north part of Brabant, by the Dutch ; and the- southern part of Brabant, Ghent, Limburg, Na mur and ethers by Austria ; each of which three general divisions as it appertains to one or another of these powers is called French, Dutch, or Austrian Netherlands ’ respectively.

Reward of Valor. —One of the last acts of the legislature was the adoption of a resolution introduced by Mr. Flubbard, of the Senate, for bellowing on captain Samuel C.

Lieutenant Jones’s account of I the naval action between the gun boats under his command, and the , British launches ami barges on the j 14th December, will be found in- i terefting. There, as elfevvhere, the navy did its duty and acquired glory. Our force was 2.5 guns and 104 men; the enemy carried 42 guns and 1200 men. Will the Britifli boalt of a victory ? Demo. Press Names. It was observed that the king oi Great Britain, in his spee ches to his parliament, talked of his rflfectiomtie people his faithful commons, bis brave army, his gal lant navy, an J of every thing else as “ his,” except the debt, which he took special care always to call the national debt. This observation nas been recalled to memory by feeing that the Paris papers, in speaking of the national institute established by the late emperor of France, omits the word “ national,” and speaks of “ the institute” of which Misters Napoleon, Lucien and jofeph Bo naparte are no longer to be regard ed as members, lb. It appears, by Gobbet’s Register, that the appropiiarions for the Bri tifli navy and navy ordnance for 1814, were twenty five millions sterling, or about one hundred and ten millions of dollars. These ap propriations are always exceeded. It further appears by the accounts made up in December, that the ex cess of the British expenses of 1814, for war by land and sea, &c. were thirty millions sterling, or 133 mil lions of dollars more than the ap propriations. As the war had ceased in April, 1814, except with the Uni ed States, this is astonish ing. The course of paper money arid war expenses, is every where worthy of the utmost consideration. Jb. A r \)hticr/ Touch. . i The following article which is not found in the papers, is ex tracted from a letter, with which we have been favored, dated “ Rochelle , March ‘26th. “ When Napoleon presented hitnfelf at the gates of Grenoble, he was refufed admittance—be im mediately took his pencil from his pocket, & on a flip of paper wrote to the commandant, “ Monsieur Is Marecbal , you will open the gates to me at such an hour.” This brief request, which conferred the title of • Marech.il was i’bt'.iirly obeyed and ) the gates were opened. -•*<%- A report from the admiralty had been made to the house of com mons, in which it is flared, the Bmifh have taken from the United States, during the late war, as fol lows : 42 National vefTels (22 under 5 guns.) 23.3 private vefTels of war. 140? merchant veflels of all de deferiptions, and made 20,931 sea- j men prisoners, inculudtng 2.518 1 detained when the war took place. ! [Niles’s Register gives a lift of ; 1.551 prizes taken from the Britifli, at the last enumeration, and increaf- I ing handsomely; and ihe number i of prisoners must have exceeded ‘ 30,000.] Still later news. —The British sloop of war Perseus, and a British packet, both arrived at Halifax on the 23d ult in 25 days from Fortf mouth, bringing London papers to the 30th March Great exertions were making, by all the powers of Europe to commence immediate hostilities aginft the usurper Napo leon ; troops were embarking from England for Belgium, with all poi fiole difparch *, general Hill failed for Belgium on the evening of the 29th March, arid carried with him a commission for lord Wellington, to aft as commander in chief. Louis XVIII. was (fill at Otterid. Ibe Prince of Orange has alTutried the title of “ king of the Netherlands and, it is stated, he commenced his march toward? the frontiers of France. The riots in England had fob Tided. A mood thing. — We are informed, that capr. commandant Deacon , when captured in the Growler, upon Lake Ontario, then a lieu tenant in the United States navy, was abusively tieated while a pri soner, by commodore fir James Teo. When fir lames arrived in New- York, lieutenant Gamble, of the United States’ navy, in behalf of captain Deacon, caiied upon fir James and demanded fatisiaftion. Fearing that fir James would avail himfelf of rank, commodore De catur authorifed lieutenant Gamble to inform fir James, in cute the ob jection of rank (hould be made, that a gentleman of his own rank would meet him. Sir James deni ed all knowledge of any luch indi vidual as capt. Deacon. The ex cuse was disregarded, afid the call was peremptory ; and com. Owen waited on the aggrieved officer with an apology. This was reiefted as infufficient, and fir James agreed to submit to such terms as commodore Decatur should approve. The terms were complied with; and, of course, were fatisfaftory. We find by the New York pa pers, that fir James Yeo, and com. Owen have since failed for England in the fbip Minerva, capt Smith. Military Conscription. —There are fome very sensible and pertinent remarks in the Democratic Press on this fubjeft, tending to prove that “ an army for the support of liberty ought to be drawn equally from eve ry class of citizens and that “ the system of conscription must have something in it worthy the adoption of republicans and republican go vernments.” To illustrate this, the writer direfts our attention to the manner in which Bonaparte was received, on his return from Elba, by an army which he himfelf had raised by conscription Had this bugaboo been indeed the real monster if was mis represented to be, would the unhappy viftims have voluntarily rallied round its author, fhouring anthems of p.raifcv and piercing the air with the cry of “ long live the emperor—long live Napoleon the great —the pride, the glory and the saviour of his coun try!” Would the “ poor conscripts ” have done all this of their own free will and accord, if conscription had any thing in its nature like tyfanny and dt fpctifm ? The very manner in which the army had been raised (by conscription) proves that these ftiouts of adulation did not flow from luch passive vassals as general ly compose a regular army, “the dregs of the people ” No, they emanated from the hearts of citi zens of all classes and education , col lected by an equal conscription, a repreb nattion of the whole nation. Conscripts have refufed to pul! a trigger against the “ monfler who has {hackled them conscripts have voluntarily rallied round Bo naparte, and “ hailed him as their emperor, their father, and their friend.” <-.■*-.•jurist *• *■ r^r-~r r •fcarn<nryirtiiiJll.J|i -“UdOl * —* TAKE NOTICE.
