The Emperor of Russia appears highly exasperated—he declares on every occasion, that he will have nothing to do with the French, that he despises the Bourbons, that they are a degenerate race—but that h'e will not consent to let Napoleon reign over France, as his honor is concerned. In a conversation on this fubjeft before a large party, Madame Bragation, once conspicuous for enmity to Napoleon in his profperi ty. but since greatly changed and become one of his warmed admi rers, using her uiual privilege of speaking freely whenever it suited her, replied to the Emperor Alex ander— ‘‘ But, Sire, it you perfilt in considering this as an affaii ot honor with Napoleon, why not fend him a challenge at once ? From the character he has sup ported. I have no doubt he will accept it, and tfien you will have no occasion to march against France armies of 100,000 men, 10 thouiand Cofiacs, and trains of ar tillery ” Princess Efterhazi, and many o thtr ladies present commended the propolal. Sensible men in Vienna in faft think it ridiculous to march so many armed men when a single individual is merely wanted. These preparations seem to denote that the objeft of their attack mud be more than human. FRI Ei\b 6” MONITOR. mfX) t <S_y ■ FRIDAY MINE 23. Communications shall be attended to in our next. A writer in the Political Exam iner, fays—“ A vetran army of 500 000 men, led on by the great est captain of the age, affided by the mod accomplished and renown ed generals of Europe, will present an insuperable barrier to the resto ration of the fugitive Louis. The French people will second the es forts of their favorite hero; they have recently chosen him to rule them, and they will fuller no dicta tion from other powers. Every na tion has an inherent right to choose its own rulers ; it is the dictate of common sense and the creed of freemen. What right then have the other powers to interfere in the choice of an independent nation ? Did the crowned heads of Europe take up arms in favor of lames the TI, who was driven from his throne by the Englifti people, when the prince and princess of Orange were iekfted to iucceed him ? lar from it. The English people exerciied the right of freemen, and io tena cious were they of this right, that when James died and his son was recognifed by Louis 14th, as king of England, it threw the nation into a flame, and they declared war a gainst the grand monarque lor a bare aft of recognition. But Eng land afts a far different part at pre sent. She makes war upon France, because that nation has uif carded a feeble and biggoted king, subservient to Brniih views, and made choice ot a ruler who is de voted exclufiveiy to the interelts ot his country. Against tnis perlon all the rancour ot party is vented, and the sluices ot Billingsgate o pened. Put down the tyrant, is the cry in England. Put down the tyrant is the cry of federalifts. Theie men hate and delpife Napo leon because none of the blood roy al circulates in his piebian veins j because he does not belong to the race ot “ legitimate kings.” Now these sentiments are in direct op position to the principles ofrepuD licanifm. How can the federahlts call themielves repuoiicans when ail their afts prove them the re verie ? I’lie English monaremfts weie tor putting down Bonapare and reltornig the Bourbons ; so were federahlts. As loon as the former was put down, and the lat ter up, tne Biitiih monarchilts re joiced publiciy at the event; so did federahlts. As soon as Napo leon was put down the Engiiih monarchilts cried out put down James Madison; the tederahlts followed the example, and adver tiled meetings in the molt conlpi cuous prints for the purpole of pe titioning vlr. Madison to resign. singular conformity of fentnnents between monarchists and men who call themfeives federal republicans ! murder will out; the cloven foot cannot always be concealed. It is not to be interred from the forego ing observations that they are the offspring ot a blind attachment to the perlon of Napoleon, regardless ot the means oy which he effefted his restoration. If he was repro duced through the inllrumentality ot the military, in contravention to the wilhes of the people-, no repub lican willies him success. The mil itary ihbuld always yield to the ci vil authority. We with to fee no government aflimilated to that of imperial Rome, where the Pretori an Dands deposed and created em perors at will ; or to that of Con ftantmople, where the Janizaries make and unmake Sultans at their pleasure. But wc are unJer the firmed: conviftion, that Napoleon is not only the idol of the army, but the darling of the French people ; and, under this impreflion, we in voke the god of battle to crush a coalition, which wars against the eternal princples of justice and na tional independence.” Robbery and Murder. —On Sa turday the 3d inst. Johnßessent, Efqr lon of the late Colleftor of the Port of St. Mary’s, was robbed and Murdered about eight miles from that place.—Mr. Bessent was returning to St. Mary’s from the country, where he had been for the purpose of bringing back the pub lie property appertaining to the Colleftor’s office, which had been removed during the late invasion at \ St. Mary’s. He was way-iaid by i fix Spaniards, t>y wnom he was bound and dragged about 60 rods from the public road, where he ■ was murdered. The murder was not dilcovered until Monday the sth, when lulpicion tailing upon the Spaniards, they wore purlued and overtaken, and in attempting to apprehend them, one of them was lhot dead.— Aug Herald. Ihe Savannah Republican of the 10th, adds the following parti clars : “ The name of the Spaniard who was killed at the twelve mile house, was Manuel —the names of the two in gaol, Juan Josef and Juan Fernandez j who have diiclofed the lolloping lads : They fay, that before they left St. Mary’s, they were informed that Mr. Befient had gone to Jefterfon for a large film of money, and that he was expefteJf to return on Sa turday loreiioon liKy let off (fix in number at tour o’clock in the morning, and met a gentleman within a mile of Gum Branch, whom they palled knowing he was not the Viftim ot their diabolical purpole. Near the Branch, they met Mr. Befient, as tney expected, seized the reins ot his bridle, and dragged him from his horle. He handed them his pocket book, which contaied aaout two hundred dollars in Dank biiiS, anti a liik purse containing five dollars 111 Di ver, and requeued tnem to ipare his life ihey debated among themfeives, wnether they would kill him, or tie him m a thick wood at a diltance from the road. The murder was decided on for fear of detection : Ihe unfortu nate victim was itupped oi his coat, dragged through tile woods, his aims pinioned and his horieied af ter hun The horrid uecd was begun with stilleUces and ended with clubs—The laddie was taken off and the horle tied to a bulh, that he might not immediately re turn home and excite alarm. One of them lays that the containing the papers was buried in the ground, nea> the road, between tne Aitamaha a.d New Pott; the other lays it was buried at a much shorter diltance from the place where the murder was committed. They both lay, that they did not know of Mr Befient’s having any mote money, but what was con tained in the pocket book & purse ; that if there was any in the valice, it is there yet —that there were seve ral bundles of papers in it, tied up with firings, which they did not examine. The culprits are well secured in irons and chains, and a guard is gone with them in search of the valice ; and there is but little doubt, that the papers and part of the money will be recovered Mr Befient was murdered on the 2d instant but it was not dis covered for two days after, when his horse and dog come home.— The next day (Monday) the road was taken tor Jefterfon, which was followed by the dog until h$ reach ed the spot where his unfortunate mailer had been seized, and he then took to the woods and led the way to the fatal spot where the bo dy was found. 41 It is jultly due to Mr. Sheriff Brown, and Mefirs.
