r CHARLEMAGNE. Translation of fhe Poet's Coiizplaint," be- ing the exordium of the eignteenth canto of Lucien Bonaparte's Epic Poem of Charlemagne which portion of the work was composed dur- illg the author's stay at Malta. After a residence of seven years in Italy," (says the author, in a note on the following passage) political events compelled me, in August 1810, to quit, with my family, the re- treat which I had chosen on the mountains of Tusculum, near Rome. Having embarked at Civila Vecchia for Philadelphia,we were driven by stress of weather, into the harbour of Cag liari in Sardinia. Being refused even a mo- mentary asylum in that country, we again put to sea, and were captured by an English ves sel, the Pomona frigate, Captain Barry, who took us to Malta. From thence we were sent to England, in the President frigate, Captain Warren. The liberty of proceeding to the United Stales excepted. I was treated in each of those ships with the greatest politeness, en- joying every kind of accommodation, I can- not refrain from this testimony of gratitude to those brave and generous sailors." What storm has marr'd my harp-strings? All! no more On Tuscultun's loved hills my song I pour: Dear to the Muse, those beauteous scenes of rest Fed the fine frenzy burning in my breast. From that fam'd mountain's ever verdant head, Rome gave to view, magnificently spread, Her circling ramparts vast, herdomes and spires; Watching the lamp of day's rekindling tires, Christ's hallowed fane would break upon my sight, Glittering afar with the first beams of light. There, if the breath of war or slander came To quench, ar nines, my spirit's geneious flame, And wrap'd th' horizon of my days in gioom. I sought, andprostraie clasp'd. rhe sacred tomb [ g ized on Charles's sculptured semblance bold, August memorial of his gifts of old To Rome; and oft, before thee,as I knelt. Revered suceessorof Saint Peter! felt, In the bright beamings of thy looks divine^, Th' extatic are of inspiration shine.

Beneath captivity's dead-weight, I pine! iioe nothing charms this sickened soul of mine; Nought here speaks to my heart; nought meets my view Of power iO wake my languid strains anew. Come, 0 my children; come, my cherish'd wife, Delightful solace of my changing life, Come, vvith one iook of thine my peace restore, If thou but smile-the desert frowns no more Ye painful thoughts, ye vain regrets, retire: On this rude rock, again I grasp m) lyre.

A N E C r-ES- BUONAPARTE. '(Fr-n the Pamphlet of his Secretary.) Buona; avit. was cilwiijs'more or lesi oceti- pied in thought, ruid when r.ione, or that he was not observed, he used lo soliloquize.— Yv hriievpt--lie (juitfeu it person on whom he had a design, it lift thought that he had gained h'un by false r>r>mviHesi or it lie believed him to he his uiipe, he nscd 10 walk up and down his room vvith a hurried step, a malignant smile on his fiuce, rubbing his h.mds in token of joy, his eyes glancing, and' tlie left eye iu particular almost tolally stint. .When on the contrary a person disagreed with hiiii in his projects, however measured and considered their representations— then, when left alone, he rose into a slate ofepilep- tic t'iige. The shock of the passion which in ihnt instant tortured his frame was so terrible that if the thunder had burst at his fceF it could not have drawn his attention. If lie had had the precious gilt of tears, lhey would upon such occasions have come to his relief; but Heaven had reiused him this solace. 1 never saw him shed a tear. He could not resist these paroxysms, and yet he knew that to them lie owed the loss of many friclldlil-of two among tle rest who perfectly resembled him in point of despotism, and whom he re grelled; but he was too proud to make it up with them. He said one day to his uncle, I ¡ know that they suffer as well as me." His conferences with these men were curious. It was impossible to seelwo persons more dry, more cold, or more laconic. For the last two yeiirs,aiiii to the day of his fall, they never came near linn, and this accounts for their present indifference. Bonaparte, though he manoeuvred at first I with all the parties, dreaded ollly Ifle Jaco, bins. I ins coutiuued with him even in the height of his power. But about lliree years 3() he gaveau employ meat of the highest im- portance to a man who had often figured in the tribune of the Jacobins. The Arch-Trea- surer reasoned with hlill on the subject; "I know ail that you si-y," answered Bonaparte, but the reasons which- YOl-l give me against the appointment are precisely those which nave led to it. Be is a feroclolls hellst; 1 know it but his dignified station shall he my bail'; when a wolf has his throat full he cannot bite." The extraordinary turn of success which iiappened at the hatfleof Marengo,determined She piau of all the after bait-es he fought.— In that memorable fight, when his centre was wings, with slIdl rapidity that they also weie I y giving way, and that alf seettieki lost, the two divisions of Desaix and Lemenier unexpectedly came up,and throwing themselves in onegreat mass on i,ç Auslrians, in a few minutes totally overthrew them. Never was vietorv so intra cuiously won. "It is unique I" said Bona- parle," vtiiat when all was lost-they close — they throw themselves on the enemy, and ai! are overthrown. A his action is wortli all the Commentaries of Cassar." And in fact from that time became his sole plan of fi«*ht i No more manoeuvring no fuses de guerre. No he looked olllv for the proper ment to charge with a whole nlass, and to break through his cliciiiy's liiie. if he had af- t.er this the choice of destroying 2000 of his enemy by the loss of 600 of his own men, or of killing 12,000 by the loss of 15,000 of his own, he would not have hesitated one instant- France would have had to deplore the loss of 15,000 of her sons. But to this principle he owed his subsequent victories. "s From Od. IS13, to Oct. 1814, (one year), nearly 1200 bankrupt; have appeared in the Loudon Gazettes. Peace being now concluded with Amcrica, there can he no further pretence for the con- tinuance of the Income Tax. We may, there- fore now venture to congratulate the country upon the end of thai oppressive burden, ofl the 5th of April next, as a matter of course. lVool.-A rcspectable correspondenl assures us, that the long wool grown in this country, is not worth more than from 55s. to Si. a tod, according to the quality-of it. This he states with the view of correcting an account in the monthly Agricultural Report, that 70s. is the average price of wool. It is conjectured from the preparations making at Heligoland, that that island will be appointed the rendezvous for his Majesty's ships on that station during the winter. Moor- ings are about to be laid down at the mouth of the Elbe, opposite Straide a new light- house is, by the exertions of the Governor of Ritzbnttlc, erected at Cuxhaven and every other precaution taken to give all possible fa- cilities to shipping on that coast, at this dan- gerous season. During Sue relreat of the French army in 1813, a French Officer who had a good deal of goid about him at the battle of Hanau, afraid of losing it, if he should he taken prisoner, put it into his pistols, and hid them ill a 1101- low tree io a small wood, which was surround- ed by the tuieir.y. He was actually taken and conducted to Russia. Having latéiy returned he quilted his column "pon some preiext or other near Hanau, fouod the free and recover- ed the money which he had deposited there. Hydrophobia —A professional correspond cut advises, in all cases of wounds from ani- mals suspected of being rabid, that excision'of the bitten parts be immediately performed, and that they be washed with strong soap ley this, if practised early and in a complete man- ner, he allirms to lIe a certain and the oniy preventive that can lIe depended Oil. Be adds, that it would he ad useable h> remove the bit leu parts, though they might he healed, and some dins and even weeks have elapsed, pro- vided no symptoms of the dreadful disease of Hydrophobia appear, which symptoms are often not perceptible for several months after the infliction of the wound.

The rays of light issuing- from the red covering, to the imagination of a sentry at a distance, she appeared a terrific spectre; and as she approached him his fear so increased, that he ran from his post with haste to the guard-house, whe^e, in about half au hour, he expired A British Officer on the American station, in a teller to a friend, slales as follows American pilot vessels for towing torpedoes have been iii ve-ik-ti in New York, for the pur- pose of uApelluig through the water the infer, nal torpedoes intended to blow up Ihe British line-of t«jit»le ships. A wiuch inside tins vessel turns two wheels on the outside, and which are placed on the larboard side. These wheels impel both the pilot vessel and the torpedo at- tached to it, at the rate of four miles perhour, Within the vessel are twelve nien. The bot- tom of the vessel is not much unlike that of a [)oat, I)ul ilg top is trcl)ed. The scantlings are those of a ship of 100 tons (lie are of inch and haif stuff, and those being cased over with iron plales of halfaniuch thickness, are not to he injured by shot. On the top there is a scuttie for the crew to enter, and this opening is also the look-out where a sen- tinel is constantly placed. Two air holes for- ward and abaft, gave sufficient air to the crew. The vessel draws six feet water, but one foot only is to be seen above water, and this being painted of a dingy while, is not perceivable. The torpedo is of course atticbed to the stern of this vessel, ropes to it from two ..ni!. ùolls in the alter-pai:t.'The torpedo is filled wilb powder and cdtybustibie matter, and in its inside there is a gun-lock, to which is fastened a string, which leadi to the scuttle of the pilot vessel. Having towed this infer- nal machine close to the vessel which it is intended to fire, this string is pulled the mo- ment the torpedo touches her, and the pilot vessel altering her course, by means of a rud- der attached to her, goes off in the general confusion. Murder in Paris,—The Jiloniteur gives the 2 b following particulars respecting the murder of M. Augusta Dantnn, whose remainswere found distributed in different parts of Paris. The laslsituntioll which he held was that of receiver of II)e register duty in one of the suburbs of Brussels. Since the separation of Belgium from France, he had returned to Paris, and lived in a small chamber in Rue St. Germain I'Atixerrois, where he wasassnssillflled at eight o'clock iu the morning of the Sth Nov. M. Dantua lived in the most profound seclusion, having no attendant, and admitting no strang- ers into b's apartment, The house in which he resided has no. porter. and the slair-case leading to his room serves only for another 1 small chamber, occupied by a person who goes out regularly before it is iight, and does not return tilt late at night so thallbe absenccpf M. Dantun could not be remarked by any in. dividual in the house. The want of neigh- bours afforded Ihe greatest facility to Ihe as- sassins for coiKmilting the crime. The same circumstance long rendered all the inquiries of I the police to discover the name of the unfor- tunate man, unavailing 'and it was not until the 12ill of December that they succeeded in this point. The following day traces of the the 12ill of December that they succeeded in this point. The following day traces of the assassin were detected in the very place where the crime was perpetrated, and oil the 16ih he was apprehended. Thisassassin is John Charles Dantun, brother to the deceased. Part of the property belonging to his victim was found in hispossession. He has confessed his guilt, and acknowledged that it was he who murdered his aunt Madame Vaume, who was found as. sassinated i" her apartments on the 16th of July last. In his examination he dectared i that he had for his accomplice a man named Girouard. his cousin-germau^ who is likewise iu custody. We have (says a morning paper) authority to state, that notwithstanding the conclusion of peace with America, Lieut.-Gen. Sir Geo. Prevost will demand a Court Martial on his conduct, immediately on his arrival in Eng- land, in consequence of the charge preferred against him by Commodore Sir J. Yeo, in his official letter to the Board of Admiralty, as published in the London Gazette. Since bees are no longer destroyed in order to deprive them of their honey, various me thods have been thought of to drive bees from one hive to another without being iittiog by them. M. Chambon, a physician at Paris, has proposed one, which appears simple and sure. It is to have hives which may be open- ed above to place them upon a metallic plate under which smoke is formed and to put above the opening an empty hive, into which the smoke forces the bees to pass. We lately mentioned the death of Gillies M'Kechnie, aged 104, supposed to be the last of the warriors who fought with Prince Charles iu the year 1745. By the following letter we are since informed, that there is still in life, and well, another of the warriors who fought in the memorable batlle of Cui loden, 1745 — There is now liying in Perth, the Hon. Mr. Nairn, youngest son of the lafe Lord Nairn, who was at the battle of Culloden, and with whom f am personally acquainted he is about 90 years of age, in good 'health, and one of the finest looking venerable old gentlemen that i haveever beheld. There died at Constantinople, in September last, of the plague, Solomon Lipman Begeni- (ler, stii)l)osed to be oiie of tl)e most" weatiliv Jews ill the Turkish dominions. He was a great favourite with the late and present So- vereign, to both of whom he acted as banker anti farmer of the revenue. During the VI- ziership of Mustapha Bairactar, he made him a present of gold and iewels equal to 150,0001, sterling, for his protection. 111 conscquence of the-tumults which took place on the down- fal of {h it Chieftain, his house was plundered by the populace,and his loss wus estimated at half a million. During a period of scarcity, 8,000 of his countrymen owed their support cntirely to his bounty. His immense wealth, hag, since his death, been seized by the Otto- j niaii Poi-te, for its civil Ilse. I Attempt at Assassination.—In the dead of i the night of yesterday se'nnight, Mr. Hynde, a youth about eighteen, aud son of the Duke | of Norfolk's House Steward, at Arundel, was i awoke from his sleep by a villain, who made a desperate thrust at him, with some sharp in- strument, which indeed happily missed of its aim, but deeply perforated the pillow. Mr. Iljude, on finding some one near his bed, in- stantly jumped from it to get some fire arms that were in his chamber, but bsfore he could gain possession ot them, the assassin, having failed I;) tile execution of his bloody design, effected hisescape, aud we are sorry lo say, without leaving any traces behind him that are likely to lead lo his discovery. are likely to lead lo his discovery. Mariborougn-slrect.—Michael Mowlati was Mariborougn-slrect.—Michael Mowlati was yesterday re examined before G. Hicks, Esq, on Various charges of swindling. The pri soner is the person w ho having been metamor. phosed from a pavior's labourer to a fine gen- tleman, and accompanied by two females,who called themselves Lady and Miss Price con- trived to get properly of different tradespeople to a considerable amount. The ladies gene rally travelled in a carriage, and the geiltle, men on those occasions accompanied them on horseback. Unfortunately so much ingenuity hadbpcII nsed that the cases of the trades- people duped amounted to debts only, and the prisoner was liberated on the assurance of Mr. Barry, his Counsel, that lie should appear again oil Thursday next. Case (If Seduclioa.-Ou Friday a well-known character, named Verity, was brought in cus- tody to Hatton Garden Police Office, charged I by a respectable widow, with having inveigled her daughter from her house, since which time she has not been heard of. It appeared, that about six weeks aho, the prisoner introduced himself lo the family as a West Indian of large propei ty tiiatsooi) after he professed himself the admirer of the complainant's daughter, aud desired permission to pay his court to her. The prisoner's manners and address were pre- possessing and gentlemanly, and by an affecta- tion of nwrality he imposed on the family to receive his visits. By the assiduity of his at- tentions, and apparent liberality, he presently gained the affections of his victim, so that the marriage was to take place in the course of last week. The complainant, however, an- xious for the welfare of her daughter, and wishing to be perfectly satisfied of the pri- soner's respectability, desired to have some reference to his friends; aud he, without hesi- tation, referred lo Mr. Alderman Smith but before an opportunity occurred to make in- quiry oftli Is t lettiai), the prisoner called on the young lady, and requested her to walk out L with him to purchase trinkets; she consented and not having returned, her family had been ever since suffering the greatest torture.— The complainant said, that as her child had ever been dutiful and affectionate, she sus peeled the prisoner must have used violence and restraint to detain her from her home, or visiting to her family, in consequence of which she had caused him to be sought after, and questioned,but as he refused to give any in- formation, she had solicited a gentleman to brjng him to the office. The complainant add- ed, that on applying to Alderman Smith, she found the prisoner to be a notorious swindler, and had been imprisoned for his frauds. The prisoner finding himself in an unpleasant di- lemma when brought before the magistrate, desired to speak in private to a gentlemen pre- sent atid on having an assurance of his liberty if the fugitive was restored to her mother, he disclosed the place of her concealment. The gentlemen, accompanied by the anxious mo- ther, went to the place described, a respecta- ble Hotel, and there found the unhappy gid. The meeting between the parent and daughter may be better conceived than described the child's agony was extreme, she attempted to speak, but convulsive sobs deprived her of ut- terance, she threw herself into her mother's arms and fainted; delirioMS lavings succeed- ed, in which she incoherently alluded to the arts that had doubtless been practised to se- duce her, and in this state she continued,when the magistrates were informed of her situ- ation, and reluctantly constrained to discharge the wretch, who has blasted the prospects of 1 an interesting female, and rendered miserable el a respectable family. m In the Court of Chancery two petitions were heard before the Lord Chancellor, praying that a commission of bankruptcy issued againt one Thomas Lewis, an attorney, might be set aside, on the ground that the same had been issued on thefilseasstimption of the Bankrupt being a scrivener, which an attorney has-been lately ruled not to be.—Few cases of greater enormity have come before the public than were developed in the facts which came out ia discussing the merits of those Petitions.—The bankrupt was an attorney of Gray's Inn, who, in August last, after a commission sued out against him, fled to France, indebted in the sum of 200,0001. he took with him all his books of accounts, papers, and vouchers,with- out submitting to his commission, by which lie became aa-oullaw and feloo, in addition to the guilt of embezzlement of the money of his employers, to the total ruin of several widows and orphans, but more particularly of a Mrs' Mootham, a widow ladv. aged 75 years,whose whole fortune, being 37,0001. the bankrupt took away.-The, Lord Chancellor directed both Petitions to be dismissed with costs. A letter from Paris, says, Pichegrii's po. pularily, and the fear that he might produce some daring truths, made it dangerous to briii; him to a public trial. A Council was held;" and poison and the poignard were successively proposed. Bonaparte suggested strangling* and took upon himself the arrangements. At one o'clock on the same night, four strong- 'Mamelukes, led bv four of the Police, were secretly placed in the avenues of the victim's chamber. The door was opened, aud at the instant the Mamelukes, half drunk, threw themselves upon him, He had -rilon at the souud of the bolts. He slept in drawers; round his left thigh was a cravat with papers. Though surprised by the assassins, he straggled hard, and they had great difficulty in fastening r. the fatal knot. He ultered Lut one or twot cries before he was strangled. The superior murderers cornill" f in, and ascertaining his death, the body was thrown on the bed and st ripped. They then made a kind of cord of the cravat, passed it round the neck of the 1 7 t dead, and twisted it with a stick to give ther idea that he had committed suicide. In tbef morning the turnkey, who was not in the se- cret, was astonished hy ihe sight of the General .1 lying lifeless. He ran to acquaint the gaolers the latter pretended equal surprise, and made his report to those who were as well informed on the subject as himself. A process verbal j was drawn up, and all P^ris rung instantly witli the suicide of Pichegru. Thus finished the Conqueror of Holland. I shall uot take it upon me to assert, what one of my friends ha sworn to me, that the same four Mamelukes were shot next night in the plain of Grenelle. 1 only heard from a Lieutenant of the troop, that for eight days back they hnd missed severt men but he knew nothing more, and 1 did. not choose to urge the enquiry."

A CHART OF CARNARVON BAR AND HARBOUR. I- -1 Directions for Ships and Vessels sailing into Car- narvon Harbour, over the Bar. In order to facilitate the navigation of this Har- bour, two Buoys are placed on the Bar, the outer one is paiuteci black, and the inner red; a Perch is also erected on the Bank, called the Muscle Bank. Llanddwyn Point lies about2 miles distance from the black Buoy, (which is moored in the en- f trance of the Bar, in about 15 feet water, at low water, average spring tides) in a N. by li. direc- tion. Dinas Dinlle lies from three, or from that to three and a half miles distance from the blacls Buoy, in a S. li. direction. :r:e black Buoy ties about one mile distance from the red Buoy, in a S.
