It in not generally k.-> vvn that some of the distinguished of Bo;; y irte'* Generals twer^nt one time resident?, of Alabama? from an exceedingly able address delivered before a literary society in the Uni0Y* versity of Alabama, by Alexander B. Mock, Esq , we make the following e t"f tract: * 44 The overthrow of Napoleon wn* followed by the expatriation of many thousands of thooe who had l>een the most conspicuous maintainers of his colossal power. Of these a large number came to the United States. . Among them a ; were Generals, who had won laurels in the proudest fields of European valor, and assisted in the dethronement and coronation of monarch* over millions of subjects; and ladies who had figured in the voluptuous drawing rooms of St. ? - - - - . -t :i i f. Cloud, and glittered in me smiies nnu in. eor of Josephine and Marie Antoinette. With the irrepressible enthusiasm of the nation, they thought to find in the quie ?* tude and peace of our boundless forests, an Arcadian exchange for the aristocraticnl establishments and gilded saloons of Paris. They wished to dwell together, t and to form u miniature republic of their own, subject, however, to the same laws as nth^r citizens of the Union. Accordjf ingly they petitioned Congress to grant them a pnrtioi^f the public lands in the South West^^Fnis was done by an act of March-the^d, 1817, granting them four townships of land, to be selected bv them somewhere in the territory of Alahuma. The conditions of the grant were, that the emigrants should cultivate the vine upon one acre in each quarter section, and the olive upon another; and at the end of fourteen years should pay the ? General Government two dollars an acre, for a fee-simple title to the land. Among the grantees was Marshal Grouchy, the hero of Linden, and the present Minister of War for France; General Lefehvre Desnouttes, Duke of Danzic, and a Marshal and Peer of France, who had distinguished himself in all the great battles of Napoleon ; General Count Clausel. General Count Real, the two Generals Allemand, and Generals Vandamme. Lakanat, Penniers and Gamier de Suintcs; - ? /r with a number ot other subordinate om cers, whose name?* are among the composing stars of that galaxy of greatness which encircled the 14Sun of the Sleepless 1" Under,the direction of these mcn^ the location of the colony was made upon the Tombeckhee river, in what is now the county of Marengo. During the year emigrants, to near the number of four hundred, arrived and took possession of the soil-?which was portioned among them by lottery. They however did not disperse to any great extent through the country, but principally settled down in two villages; the one called Demopolis, upon the site where the village with the same name now stands; and the other called Eaglesvitle, situated upon the Black Warrior river, a short distance above Demopolis. In this latter village, most of the distinguished men I have named resided. Upon the colony they bestowed the naine of Marongo, which is still preserved in the country; other lelics of their nomenclature?drawn similarly from battles in which some of them had been , distinguished?are to be found in the vii. luge* of Linden and Areola. In 'he spring, after their emigration, they proneeded to the cultivation of the soil, and were .soon settled down in the occupations of agricultural life. u A more singular spectacle than the one thus presented, is rarely to he found in the leaves of history, (t is true that Cincinnati**, when he had saved Home from the irruptions of her foes, returned to the plough he had abandoned. But here we have instances of men, who had been actors in scenes, which, in military magnificence, far transcended the wildest 4 imaginings of the Romans?turning from the theatre of their former triumphs, and ? exchanging the sword for the plough* share, gnd the spear for the pruning* hook. In moral dignity, indeed, the advantage is all rn favor of the ancionts? for these are driven from their country by compulsion?hut in other respects, the parallel is not unequal. Who that would have looked upon Marshal Grouchy, or General Lefehvre, as. dressed in plain rustic habiliments?the straw hat, tho home*pu* coat, the brngan shoes?they drove the plough in the open field, or wielded the ?xe in the new-ground clearing, would if unacquainted with their history, have , dreamed that those farmer-looking men had sat in the councils of monarch*, and had headed mighty armies? " Do you know. Sir"?said a citizen to a traveller, who in.1819, passing the road from Areola to Eaglesville?"Do you know, sir, f' who is that fine looking man who just ferried you across the creek 7" ' ]\o!? Who is he ?" was the reply. *' That sir," .?aid the citizen, is the otficer who commanded Napoleon's advanced guard when ?.be returned from Elba ?" 44 Great as is this contrast, it was porVhaps greater with the female part of the colonist*. Here, dwelling in cabins, and engaged in humble attention to the spin, ning wheel and the loom, or handling the vweoding-hoe and the rake, in their little gardens, were matrons and maidens who ihad (been horn to proud titles and high esdates, and who had moved a& stars of particular -adoration, amid the fashion and refinement and imperial display of the Court ?of Versailles, And yet?to their honor be it stated?notwithstanding the rustic and ill-proportioned circumstances around them?they did not nonpar dispirited or miserable. Nothing of "angeJs ruined," was visible in their condition. * They were contented?smiling?happy. Aa cultivated women always may, they diffused around them, and over the restles* feelings of their sterner relatives, the softening graces of the heart, and that in. \ telleclual glow, which, as Wordswoth \ . M H has sain of the retired heauty of a Highland girl, " Makes a sunshine in a shady phco.H *? But not the least amusing, a9 well as singular circumstances, to which these J French colonists were exposed, arose from their connection with the adjacent Atnerican inhabitants. Who can think of the celebrated officers I have nafned, being drilled and mustered by one of our ordinary militia captains, and not feel emotions of (he supremely ridiculous? And yet such, I am credibly informed, was frequently the case ! Many amusing incidents resulted from their ignorance of our language. One, not nnworthy of preservation, was this: An officer became engaged in a fight with?a citizen of our villages. They used only the weapons which nature had given them. The Frenchmen getting the worst of the hattie, desired to surrrender according to the ordinary signal in such cases. But he could not think of the word " Enough !" ' L- M .nn,l! I i nG oniy pnmse ihj cuuiu ic\.nn? . ! he had ever heard upon such occasions, | j was the word 44 Hurrah !" This he con- j tinued to shout, until the bye-standers, guessing his meaning, removed his antagonist. I 44 For two or three years, the colonists appeared prosperous and happy, and seemed likely to realize those visions of the pastoral state, so sweetly sung by the Muntuan bard, and which they had caught fiom the pages of Chateaubriand and Rousseau. 4 But a change came o'er the spirit of their dream.' The country was found unsuited to the cultivation of the vine and the olive. The restless spirits of the leaders which had been formed and tutored to act a part in those games which loosen thrones and crack the sinews of whole nations, could not be content with the circumstance of their backwoods home, in an age of startling incident, when war was afoot and the far vibrations of its stormy music were heard, like the Macedonian invitation, in their Sylvan solitudes. Inducements were held out to | some of them by the struggling states of South America: and the ferryman left his flat, and the ploughman his furrow, ! for posts of honor in the Army of Bolivar. For some, the deciees of their banishment were revoked, and they returned to 4 la belle France,'?for which in their exile they had felt all maladia du pays, to preside in her Senates, or to head her armies. Seeing their leaders thus leaving them, the emigrants in large numbers returned to their native country, or sought more congenial homes in our South-Western cities. The rights of the soil passed into ? | the hands of a few. Congress, at intervals, exempted them from the requisitions of the grant, and ultimately included them in the provisions of the general pre-emption law of 1833. The colony thus passed away ; and though there are many of the original families, at least of their descendants, yet residing in thecoun"?? ?i - -1 ty, a stranger would in vain iu??k mnwiig ? the black lands and the broad cotton fields of Marengo, for the simple patches upon which the Duke of Dantzic, or Count Ciau8el attempted to cultivate the olive and the vine." Fhoc in the Stomach.?In Derby, England, last August, a vnung girl, about 18 years of age, complained of being un-1 well, and finiUly was seized with vomi. I ling. Her mother gave as an emetic, some salt and water, when, to the aston. j ishraent cl all present, she threw up a live frog. It was picked up and put into 1 I some water, but did not live long. The frog must have been generated in the , stomach, she having ealen some water cress, and probably at the same time frog j spawn. x Caution to Water Drinkers.?A women residing in the lower section of Philadelphia, a few days ago, placed her mouth over the spout or nozzle of a small hydrant for the purpose of slaking her thirst; bift little time elapsed before she was taken with nausea and cast forth a live eel about four inches long. fw'^ heaF^artiirs, Clarendon, Nov. 8, 1841.

It is the purpose of The Young People's Book to furnish such a Magasine. He has provided imple means for the accomplishment of bis ibjoct,- and he pledges himself to the friends of liiiernl and judicious education throughout the United States that he will produce a work which shall be in every respect worthy of their attention and patronage. There is a period in the progress from early childhood to maturity, and that by no means a short one, during which the expanding minds of jroung are seeking in every direction for nsefiil knowledge, as well as intellectual entertainment. Every book, paper or pamphlet which prom, ises either, is eargerly read, and every circle or loeiety of a literary or scientific cast is earnestly tought.
