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. After these wanderings in T
Europe, he arrived in Philadelphia in October, ta

northward, descended the Mississippi to New. ol

Mexico, March 11th. j
Several days since a Mexican Colonel named |
'uran, who was taken a prisoner at Chapulte- , t
:c, fighting after his "fellow soldiers" had dc- f
trti'd their posts, was buried in this city, under
rcumstanccs that must bo very galling to eve'
Mexican of true pride and honor, but which (
folded our troops an opportunity of displaying ' (
rnagninimity that has few parallels in history. ,
oloncl Duran, aficr the entrance of the army t
ito the city, was released on parole; in a short f
me, being attacked with a fever, and having ,
either friends nor money, ho was taken to the
'or house. 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. The following from the J t
orth American will toll the sequel. i ,
When the third regiment was ready to march j
ey were led to the poor house, and halted lur (
e body to be brought out. At length it came J (
)rne by four leperos, in the common covered j
>op used to carry sick beggars to the hospital j ,
id dead ones to the grave. The regiment >
corted this singular spectacle with military j j
mors, paying the customary respect to the t
emory and position of the deceased oflicer. t
ut what was the surprise of all to find that i
use who conducted the corpse did not stop at c
e graveyard consecrated by (be church, but j f
issed behind it to an open swampy common, r
here a hole, nearly filled with water had ; r
:en dug. 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! That a Colonel, of f
iod reputation and soldiership, should he thus t
atnefully m'^h eted, surprised and pained us, )
id we iiupiii. d the cause. And what does v
e reader suppose it was? Why he was poor c
id did not h ave money to pay lor church rites ' a
id had no friends to advance it lor hfin. j a
This is as fair an example as can he given of J
e utter selfishness, and the absence ol corn' ?
on charity, of the church in this country, j,
shop, curate, monk or friar seem to be de- \
id of all sympathy with their race, and only s
have one object in view?to increase the ;i
. alth of, or aggrandize the church at largo, i;
their own particular order. Jt is not upon ( (
e rich or middle classes alono they prey; you c
ill see them begging a sixpence or a shilling ]j
un a poor devil of an Indian who has reali. I a
d half a dollar or a dollar from ice brought ' p
him from I'opocatapetl on his hack, or front v
arcoal lugged in the same way from some L,
taut mountain side, the work perhaps of two ! s
three days. In .Mlapa, in 1'iiebla and in this j s
y you can scarcely turn the corner ot a .street j r
thout meeting one of the gentry. They own J c
tin told, at least one-third of the property of r,
j whole country, and in this city possess one* ! t|
irth of the buildings and real estate. To cu | K(
:cs, or ecclesiastics, who by teaching moralifrom
the pulpit and by virtuous example in u
ngling with their fellow-beings improve their J,
?cies, lew will object; but the whole country o
iliod with mendicant orders, whoaic always y
lid begging, and who do nothing else, unless
is to pray, which, in charity, we may believe ! ()
y do sometimes. If they contributed to the ti
ence, arts or literature ot their country, an |,
puuenl might he found in their favor, hut u
iir whole education consists in a smattering js
latin, and some little knowledge of geology, C(
1 it is one in a thousand who ever extends tli
knowledge beyond these limits. If you 1

The coming election in France excites great
attention. The Government, aware of the serious
importance of this matter, were preparing
for the crisis.
M. Aragn, the Republican Minister of Marine
sent for the French Admirals in Paris.
They all attended. lie then addressed them,
and ashed them if there were any of them wil.
ling to serve the Republic. They replied all.
He then said lie. requested men of courage and
steadiness,?that lie knew them all to be so,?
and he. was ready to appoint to the command of
I the fleet of the Republic, any one they might
choose.
He therefore appointed in accordance with
their recommendation, Admiral Bouden; who

AUSTRIA. *
The resignation of Prince Mctternich is announced
for a certainty in Paris. On the Sih
the news of events in Paris caused consternation
; nt Rheims. There was a grand council of all
the ministers. Thencws ofllio event was despatched
in all directions. The French Ambussrulor
at Vienna is said to have fainted on hearing
the news. He started on the next day to
France. Thirty thousand troops are to advance
to Italy without delay. At Munich, a rising
has taken place, and a constitution extorted
from the king at the point of the bayonet.

The Jesuits alarmed by the'dernonst rations
made against them by the people, have already
quitted the city of Turin* The Journal of'l'uj
riu fully appreciates the tendency of the French
! Revolution, encouraging the king to put himself I
j at the head of the national forces to efp-ct the |
salvation of Italy.
Advices from Genoa announce the arrival
of an American squadron in that port. The
latest advices Irorn Itally staled that the kino
has once more violated his solemn promise, and
has carried fire and sword into the city of Hiessina,
which had linen bombarded forty hours by
royal troops. The Punto Franco is almost entirely
burned dowin, causing a loss often millions

SECOND DISPATCH.
Nkw Yohk, .March 28?G P. M.
The Liverpool Eurojiean Times, of the 12th
inst., concludes its at tide on the events in
France, as follows:
England waits with her arms folded, in deep
and anxious alarm, lor the next scene ol this
"strange, eventful history."
It could scarcely be anticipated but that
the great movement which has convulsed
I France, should have been felt in some degree
I in the British Islands.
In London, a trilling disposition to riot was
' experienced in the early part of the week, but
; the. disorderlies were confined to mischievous
boys and citizens out of employment. Order
was speedily restored.
In Glasgow, the tumults were more serious
and several persons were unfortunately shot hy
; the military. The rioters in that city were
merely thieves, who plundered the shops and
had evidently no political object in view.
1 In Ireland, no breach of the peace has yet
1 taken place, but the exciting language of a certain
portion of the press, which surpasses any
thing within our recollection, has not escaped
tlu? :iff/>nlinn nf llie nnllinril ies. We Inure no
apprehension ofany disturbance of the public
peace, throughout Kugiand generally by a
rising of political opinions, although the depressed
stale of trade and the existing uncertainly
naturally incident to the affairs of the continent,
might we (ear. produce a slate of disquietude
and suffering amongst numerous classcss for
some time to come.

At 2 o'clock, the Representative Minister ol c
the United States went to the Hotel do Yille,
in formal recognition of the Provisional Govern- d
mont to whom he delivered a flattering address, a
It was appropriate in the Representative of the c
American Union, to be the first to welcome our ti
infant republic, for there is no bond more pow- o
crful between nations than community ofsenti- n
ment. The slop taken by the Minister of the
United States has made existing circumstance*
of serious importance. Although fully expectzd,
it has touched acutely all the members of
[lie Provisional Government; and after an inlerview,
in which were exchanged the noblest
sentiments, they in a body accompanied this
representative of a great nation to the threshold
of the Hotel tie Ville, as a'proof of the cordial
affection which must ever exist between the American
and F . nch Republics.

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.
Wc know that all men are more or less cullalde,
and that trifling with the afiections of a
?eloved and tender hearted female, is one of the
nost censurable and ungentlemanly acts of
vhicfi man could be guilty, and should be oberved,
austerely reproved, and discountenanced
iy all judicious and honorable men. (I am
iroud to say my shoes do not pinchlin the least.)

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. No man ought to solicit the
leart and hand of a lady prematurely, and no
liscrcet man will, in order to deceive.
