Journal.
French papers have been receiv
ed at Charleston by the Saucy Jack,
’ Captain Chazal, to the 25th of A
prii. The Editor of the Southern
Patriot, among other notices of
their contents, has the following:
“ By a tableau of a Levy of 3130
Battalions of National Guards, in
tended to protect the frontiers a
gaind invasion and which gives to
each battalion 720 men, we are pre
sented with the great total of 2,-
258,600..Nati0nal Guards! /These
i axe the Militia of France.
The mod tumultuous joy reigns
in Poland, on the prolpe/t of real
‘ deliverance.* Their aflemblies &
banquits always terminate with the
cries of 6 vive Napoleon !’ ‘Vive les
Francois 1’ The presence of the
Ruffians cannot check their enthu-”
fiafm, and if Ruflia should go to
war with,Fran'ce, she will find it in
riifpenfable to leave a large army in
Poland—as the emotions excited
there est” the return of Bonaparte
may probably lead to a re-delive
rance.
British vessels had again began
to visit the ports of France!”

A MOTTO
FOR TFIE AMERICAN LADIES.
The Salem Gazette, obierving
that after the famous battle of Tra
falgar, the English ladies in compli
ment to the immortal Nelson, a
dopted as a motto for their garters,
the celebrated words of the hero
on that occasion, “Englandcxpecls
eve ay man to do his duly,” very hap
pily proposes that the American
ladies (hould pay a similar compli
ment to the memory of the gallant
Lawrence, by wearing, in like
manner, as a motto on their gititers
his lad words “ Dont give up the
Ship ” An equally pertinent de
vicel a fortunate fugged ion 1 but
rather odd ; quite odd.
