I " ? It is not generally kiw*n that some of the distinguished of Bo;> \t> trte1# Generals twer)iat one time resident?, of Alabama? from an exceedingly able address deliverkf^ ed before a ijiersry society in the UniV ? versily of Alabama, by Alexander B. Mock, Esq., we make the following e;\ tract: 1. * ** The overthrow of Napoleon wn* followed by the expatriation of many thousands of those who had been the most conspicuous maintained of his colossal power. Of these a large number came to the United States. . Among them * i were Generals, who had won laurels in the proudest fields of European valor, nnrl assisted in the dethronement and I coronation of monarch* over million* of | subjects; and Indies who had figured in j the voluptuous drawing rooms of St. Cloud, and glittered in the smiles and fa. vor of Josephine and Marie Antoinette. With the irrepressible enthusiasm of the 1 nation, they thought to find in the quie- j tude and peace of our boundless forests, j an Arcadian exchange for the aristocrati- | cal establishments and gilded saloons of ( Paris. They wished to dwell together., and to form a miniature republic of their ! own, subject, however, to the same laws as other citizens of the Union. Accord, ingly they petitioned Congress to grant thorn a portioi^f the public lands in the South Wost^^Fhis was done by an act of March-th<^5d. 1817, granting them four townships of land, to he selected bv them somewhere in the territory of Alabama. 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 1 the end of fourteen years should pay the General Government two dollars an acre, for a fee-aiuiple title to the land. Among j the grantees was Marshal Grouchy, the : hereof Linden, and the present Minister1 of War for France; lieneral L?etenvre ; Desnouttes, Duke of Danzic, and a Marshal and Peer of France, who had distinguished himself in all the great bat-J ties of Napoleon ; General Count Clause!, j General Count Real, the two Generals A demand, and Generals Vandamme, Lakanal, Penniers and Gamier de Suintcs; j with a number of other subordinate offi ; cers, whose names are among the composing stars of that galaxy of greatness j which encircled the 44 Sun of the Sleep-j less!" Under,the direction of these men*! the location of the colony was made upon the Tomheckheo river, in what is now ! the county of Marengo. During the i year emigrants, to near the number of four hundred, arrived and took possession ! of the soil?which was portioned among j them by lottery. They however did not j disperse to any great extent through the ] country, but principally settled down in 1 two villages; the one called Demopoiis, upon the site where the village with the same name now stands; and (he other called Eaglesville, situated upon the Black Warrior river, a short distance above Demopolis. In this latter village, most of rli?f mmiiihorl mon I KilVP nJl mod rp. sided. Upon the colony they bestowed the natne of Marengo, which is atill preserved in the country; other telics of their nomenclature?drawn similarly from battles in which some of them had been distinguished?are to be found in the village* of Linden and Areola. In the spring, after their emigration, they proneeded to the cultivation of the soil, and were soon settled down in the occupations of agricultural life, 4* A more singular spectacle than the one thus presented, is rarely to he tound in the leaves of history. It is true that Ciucinnatus, when he had saved Rome 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 ' imaginings of the Romans?turning from the theatre of their former triumphs, and exchanging the sword for the ploughshare, ^nd the spear for the pruningbook. In moral dignity, indeed, the advantage is all tn favor of the ancients? for these are driven from their country bv j 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 rusa!. L I !l* _ a _ *1 - . , ? uc aanmmenis?me si raw nni, mo nomespun coat, the brogan shoes?they drove , the plough in the open field, or wielded J the axe in the new-ground clearing, would if unacquainted with their hi?torv, have , <Jj*amed that those farmer-looking men hid sat in the councils of monarch*, and had headed niightv armies? " Do voti know,Sir"?said a citizen to a traveller. J who in 1919, passing the road from Arco- i la to Eaglesvilte?"I)o you know. sir,! who is that fine looking man who just ferried you across the creek ?" * No!? Who is he ?" was the reply. '' That sir," said the citizen, * is the otfiecr who com- 1 manded Napoleon's advanced guard when J .he relumed from Elba ?" "Great as is this contrast, it was per- j ihaps greater with the female part of the colonists. Here, dwelling in cabins, and ! engaged in humble attention to the spin. | ning wheel and the loom, or handling the i weeding-hoe and the rake, in their little j gardens, were matrons and maidens who j had Ibeen born to proud titles and high es- J tatcs, and who had moved as stars of par-1 ficular adoration, amid the fashion and refiruuaent and imperial display of the I Court of Versailles, And yet?to their honor be it stated?notwithstanding the! rustic and ill-proportioned circumstances i nround them?they did not n?p?ar dis-1 pirited or miserable. Nothing of "angeJs ( ruined,"' was visible in their condition.! v They were contented?smiling?happy. Ait cultivated women always mnv, they diffused around them, and over the restless feeling* of their sterner relatives, the softening gracesof the heart, and that in.j \ telleclual glow, which, as Wordswoth \ , \- K\ has win of the retired beauty of a High, land girl, | " Makes a sunshine in a shady pi ice.M ^ u But not the least amusing, as well as a singular circumstances, to which these a French colonists were exposed, arose from their connection with the adjacent American inhabitants. Who can think of the celebrated officers I have naj^ied, being drilled and mustered by one of our ordin. / arv militia captains, and not feel emotions t of the supremely ridiculous? And yet such, I am credibly informed, was Ire. quently the case ! Many amusing incidents resulted from their ignorance ot / our language. One, not nnworthy of b 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 bat- ^ tie, desired to surrrender according to the ^ ordinary signal in such cases. But he could not think of the word * Enough !" _ The only phrase ho could recall, which I he had ever heard upon such occasions, j was the word u Hurrah !" This he con-; I tinned to shout, until the bye-standers, n guessing his meaning, removed his antagonist. I " For two or three years, the colonists |( appeared prosperous and happy, and seemed likely to realize those visions of the pastoral state, so sweltly sung by the Mantuan bard, and which they had caught ftom the pages of Chateaubriand and Rousseau. % 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 J the circumstance of their backwoods a home, in an age of startling incident, ttl when war was afoot and the far vibrations r< 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 j South America: and the ferryman left his flat, and the ploughman his furrow, 21 for posts of honor in the Army of Bolivar. A For some, the decieesof their banishment were revoked, and they returned to 4 la belle France,'?for which in their exile tliev had felt all maladia du pays, to pre- / - * ** ^ I side in her Senate, 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 21 the hands of a few. Congress, at inter, vals, 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 the coun. ty, a stranger would in vain look among the black lands and the broad cotton fields of Marango, for the simple patches upon which the Duke of Dantzic, or j Count Clausel attempted to cultivate the ? olive and the vine." P Frog in the Stomach.?In Derhv, England, last August, a young girl, ahoul 18 years of age, complained of being un- well, and finally was seized with vomi. ting. Her mother gave as an emetic, J soine salt and water, when, to the aston. g ishment of all present, she threw up a live frog. It wai picked up and put into tl1 some water, but did not live long. The a frog must have been generated in the g stomach, she having eaten some water cress, and probably at the same time frog n spawn. v " Caution to Water Drinkers.?A women residing in the lower section of Philadelphia, a few days ago, placed her 1 mouth over the spout or nozzle of a small i hydrant for the purpose of slaking her f thirst; bi/t little time elapsed before she ll was taken with nausea and cast forth a live eel about four inches long.
