■any act that would impose a belief upon the world that her son was his lion. She remained in Ahlden prison until her death. These are the predecessors, in the direct line, of John Bull’s reign ing legitimate Sovereigns—Konigf. mark of Saxony, originally of Swe den, the moft finifhed debauchee and rake of his day, and the mur derer of i'hynne, and Sophia Do rothea of Zell, an adulterous drum, pet, whole only apology was that ftk was forced to marry a perfbn (he hated, and compelled to facri fice her affections to the will of her father, for r.eafons of date. She had a daughter named Caroline Matilda, who pafl&i for the daugh ter of George I. but who uudoubt edly belonged to Konigfmark; she was married to Chriltian VII. z le gitimate sovereign of Denmark She played a game with Struenfee, a low bred vagabond, exactly frmi lar to her mother Sophia with Ko nigfmark, & both shared a fitnilar fate : they were feized—Struenfee was put to death—Caroline was imprisoned in a castle for life, and at her death was buried alongside of her mother Sophia. The defect) dants of this Struenfee and Sophia are now the legitimate sovereigns of Denmark. Upon a full investigation it will be found that among sovereigns & their nobles the meaning of lan gugue is im/erted. Thus, what the vulgar call a whore, they call a mistress—what the vulgar c,!! for nication or adultry, they call ga! lantry, and what the vulgar call a bastard, they call legitimate. What in vulgar effimation is confide red murder and the moil (hocking crimes, is with them sport and pas time They do every thing by divine right and they can’ do no wrong. In tracing the history of these legitimates, whether male or female, there will be found a won derful refembiance in character & conduct. The behavior of Seme ramus, Jezebel, Cleopatra, Agrip pa, &c. &c. of antiquity, will on •companion very much correspond with that of Catharine de Medecis —the Marys of England and Scot land—-the Elizabeths of England and Russia—the present Queen of Spain—the Princess of Wales and many other female foverigns of modern times too tedious to men tion. Os ths: male sovereigns, Sol omon’s observations may he true, that a tpan among a thoufand,*per haps, may be found tolerably good, but a woman among all these can not be found, searching one by one to find out the amount. I really think, fir, that a sketch of these le gitimate sovereigns will be an a -1 musing and edifying work—l wi(h very much to fee it undertake® and completed by fome ingenious per son competent to the undertaking. ’ P. . TEMPER OF FRANCE. Well-informed gentlemen just returned from France albert, that three-fourths of the people are repub lican in their sentiments If they could not relish Bonaparte’s Hoiife of Peers, how will they brook the leudal principles of the Bourbons? Our belief is; that without foreign armies France cannot be enslaved, or held in slavery. The lights eli cited by twenty-five years of edi tion, diicuffion and revolution, can not be exringuiflied in a day. The following-incident is very cha rrTreriftic : In a mixed company of French and American gentle , men lately at Bordeaux, when the independence and freedom of A merica was offered as a toa(f, a French gentleman proposed to | drink it on their knees—which was inftantly and enthufiallicalfy done by <he whole. For such zealous & spontaneous good will we ought not return wilhes for the enslave ment of Fran 'zz.—Columbian. We may judge of the confufion which prevailed in Fiance at the time of Bonapartes’s late abdica tion, from the subjoined fad. The minister of Marine, Deeres r, being called on by the Legitimate autho rity for information refpe&ing the means which had been provided for the Ex Emperors’s escape, was ac cused by a member of incoherence in his statement—To which he re plied, “ I am told I have confound ed days and dates. - Jt is t/jree daps and three nights that I have not slept.

Geo. “Journal . Jackson. The distin guished fervtces ot Gen. Jackson during % late war, and particular ly at New gleans, have made him an objett of universal esteem. All are desirous of . being more-inti mately acquainted with the charac ter of so renowned a fiero. The following brief account of him is extracted lecent ly published in. Tennessee, and is probably the mod authentic which has yet appeared : i “ Major-general Andrew Jack- 1 son was born of Irish parents in Mecklenburg county North Caro lina, and educated in Charlotte, a fmali town in the fa ne date. He possessed little or no wealth in his youth, but old age and industry have crowned him with riches.— He is fifty years old, or very little \ upwaids ; he is lean and (pare, five feet eleven inches high, weighs one hundred and fifty pounds, light complexion, with'fair hair, blue idi grey eyes, flern countenance, plain and familiar in his manners ; a companion to the rich and learn ed ; jocular to the gay ; accom modating to his friends and violent on enemies, hospitable to all; kind to his (laves; charitable to the poor ; hamane to the unfoi tnate ; remarkably tender and loving to his amiable spouse ; free, liberal, and open spirited, and naturally qualifi ed for a warrior and commander.
