The Remains or JoIiir Paul
Tones.
Wo lately announced that the U. S.
frigate St. Lawrence, which convey-1
ed to London the articles of Ameri-!
can industry, destined for the univer- I
sal Exhibition, had also a commission
to take back to the United States the
remains of Commodore Paul Jones,;
now buried in Paris.
On that occasion, is reported an (
anecdote about this celebrated man, ,
who was the Duguay Trouin of war j
It was in 1779, during the war of '
. uu|.-ullUVHt/V klllllll\0 IU llli; SKIIlllI ,
temerity of his manoeuvre, and to the
superior sailing of his frigate?Paul
Jones had happily reached the port
of BreSt. lie nad escaped the Lng- J
lish cruisers who surveyed Tlroise. (
and desired to be revenged on an intrepid
sailor for the immense losses
that he had inflicted upon their navy
and their commcrc.
Paul Jones was received in our i
first military port, with the divine '
tion du'q tonis rank, and above all, to 1
his high reputation, justified by cele- i
bratcd actions. When his mission, i
i -
which was 10 agree Willi J lie lVrencli
military authorities, had been accpm-1
plished, he fixed the day of his de- i
part are.
The night before, lie went to the J
coffee-house of La Droniedie, where '
all the marine officers used to reunite. 1
All admired the brave American
captain*, some of t'.em were jealous !
of him.
A general conversation followed, j
they spoke ol the dangers that Paul
Jones was to meet in trying to es-!
capc, for a second time, superior for- ,
ces which expected him as a sure !
prey. A young liuetenant of the |
mm IIIC, jliUllil Ul il jjruiil llillllCi sccni- !
ed to seek to attack him by allusions, 1
first veiled ; but which, encouraged
by the cold dignity with which Paul
Jones .received them degenerated ;
soon into positive provocations.
The American hero lost nothing of I
his solf-nossession, which was one of
the principal traits of his character.
'Lieutenant,' said he to his aggressor,1
calmly but with firmness, 'my country
has not .too many arms with all
ol her children. Jt is for it, and not
for a vain quarrel, that I must be prodigal
of my blood. I cannot have

you.'
To this unexpected declaration,
a murmur of disapprobation spread
between (ho officeis present. Paul
Jones spoke again, after having look- j
ed around with a fiery glance which |
lie fixed then on his aggressor:
'Sir,1 pnid he, 'you nave provoked j
inn: von nvvn mo snlicfnnlinn '
, J
The lieutenant bowed.
'Well!1 pursued Jones, lI am to
take leave of M. the Intendent.?
Will you have the goodness to fol- I
low me? I hope with my credit to
be able to obtain for you the per- ;
mission of embarking with me. 1 ;
sail to-morrow, at the break of day. '
I will he attacked by superior forces; |

swear to you 1 will accept the combat.
You will bo seated near nic on the
deck. We shall see who of both of
us will turn pale first. Will you do
me that honor?'
All the officers, witnesses of this i
strange scene, had passed from dis-1
satisfaction to surprise, then to ad- :
miration.
Tho lieutenant, out of his senses,
was going to try to answer him; but
immediately impulsed by a generous
sentiment, he advanced towards!
Paul Jones, with his hand extended: i
'Captain,1 said lie with a quick emotion,
'I acknowledge my errors.
Forgive me for my folly, and honor

Enough, enough, my brave young
.ian,' interrupted the American hero,
seizing the hand of tho lieutenant,
which he rigorously shook according
to the English fashion?'let us be

in which that gentleman takes
himself loudly into tlie embraces of
Fillmoreism, submissionism, and all

nion, alias federal whig party, and
stretches hia self at full length upon
fho Goorgia platform. The General
describes the pill rolled up by the
Comprise as bitter, very bitter; but
still, on account of the stars and stripes I
for which the intrepid Jasper lost his
life, Query, (Is the General sure that
it was for the stars and stripes that
Jasper lost his lite?) lie is willing to
acquiesce in them 'since they have
been declared by the proper departments

And pray General, if I he abolition of

or even in the States, was to be declared
the law of the land by the
same tribunals, how could you, acting
upon the above principle, resist them/ i
But we do no not intend to criticise

of lnnnnn affairs. Every acre added
to the territory oFtho Union, every
frecborn child added to its population
and every emigrant that lands on its
snores, is another weight to the scale
of abolition. Then why, except because
they are elemented and domed,
do the slave owners take no steps
whatever to prepare for the great
day of reckoning! Why do they assume
the perpetual stability of an institution
at variance nvith the whole

them to sot their house in order. If
it is harder to do so now than it was

hitherto aggravated rather than removed
the enormous (liffipnlfioa r?f
the question, what will be be the case
thirty years hence, when perhftps
there must and will be abolition without
either the slave Qrhis master being

choice lies between gradual and sudden
