His son Louis Philippe was then 20 years old (now 74.) He escaped the fate of his father hy L; flight, and became a wanderer and an exile pe from 1793 to 1814, in various parts of Europe flo and in the United States. His patrimonial cs- pi; tales were all confiscated to enrich the persecutors o( his family. In his wanderings he visited tr< Switzerland, Norway, Denmark, Lapland, and tii and the North Cape, beyond the Arctic circle, concealing his rank, and traveling under a feigned name; sometimes alone and on toot, and at others employing himself as a school teacher ht for subsistance.

There he died. During his sick- | jss. neither friend nor relative visited him. f I'l when dead, no one came to dress his re- [ j ains for burial. The Governor hearing of his : j ;ing thus uncared Ibr, ordered the third Regi- I? ent of Infantry out to bury him. The order , as cheerfully obeyed.

Here, without benefit of clergy, | ( e body was taken from the coop, a rope pas- j ( d around the neck and another round the feet, ^ id nlun?red into the water, with a common , t I o at under it and the mud and filth taken from o hole thrown over it!

"A man cannot act a more pcr.ldsous part, Than use his utmost cfForts to obtain A confidence in order to d 'ccive." Mr. Editor:?I had the pleasure of reading i piece in your last paper, which deserves much o he eulogised, in fact, it receives the approbaioo and esteem of all those whom we term lonest people. It has been read by all young adies with whom I have chanced to meet, since the publication of said piece.) with much ipparent admiration; and I have heard many mcorniunis passed upon the composer, and I eel pretty sure, that if he is not favored with he " better half," by making application any vhcro within the limits of my influence, ho can )l)tain her easily. He the writer whom he may, I say what pubic opinion says, ho deserves much credit, and ias added another gem to his reputation, more >articularl.v in the estimation of the fair sex. I'he only fault I find to it is, the brevity of it, ait l narrative so popular, could scarcely be proracted until it would become irksome or verjose.

It is doubtless, one of the most hideous :rimos of its nature, to make erroneous imprcsions upon the mind of any lady, as it undoubtidly tends to debilitate and disarrange one of lie most noble faculties with which they are desl; and if all persons appreciated female afActions as I do, there certainly would never be o many false impiessions made upon the minds if the fair ones.
