Livr.nrooi., Juno 19.?Up to the present

of money, perhaps their last penny, fur which a
contract is given to iiud them passage and pro

cargo cmbnrked from the river Tlcnes is now
onboard the chartered ship Iris, Smith, master,
which on Tuesday se'nnignt was seized fur hav

humane laws, no ship is permitted to carry more
than one person Ibr each two tons per register $

providing a proper ijuantity of wholesome pro
visions for each person, and a surgeon when 50

Iris is 342 tons burthen* per register; and there
fore entitled to carry only 174 persons, inclu

Custom house, but when the seizure was made
5W1 persons were found on board. Amongst o

Paris, June 12.?Didier's execution has ta

24 Commissaries appointed by a great Power to;
promote the interest of the cause for which he
about to suffer, and which, better conducted by
his surviving Colleagues, would ultimately pro

any desire to court the clemoncy of the King,

Mrs. Jano Lew son, a verr singular character,
died latcty at her house in Cold Bath-square, u
ged ilC, possessed of considerable property.?
Sho married early, became a widow at fcfl, and
after the marriage of her only child, a daughter,
lived a state of retirement. An old femalo ser
vant having died, and the grand daughter of the
servant who had succeeded her being removed,
Lady Lewson employed an old man who attend*
ed the different houses in the square in going er
rands, &c. and lu> acted as her stewanf, butler,
cook, and housemaid, and with the exception
of two old lap-dogs and a cat, he was her only
companion. The house she occupied wa9 large
and elegantly furnished, but very ancient) the
beds were kept constantly made, although they
had not been slept in for above lift y years. Her
upartment being only occasionally swept out,
but never washed, the windows were so crust
ed with dirt, that they hardly admitted a ray of
light. A large garden in the rear of her house,
was the only thing she naid attention to ; this
was always kept in goou order : site was (urtial
to the fashions that prevailed in her youthful
days, and she never changed the manner of her
dress Irom that worn in the reign of George the
I First. 8hc always wore powder with a large
tete, made of horse hair, on her head, near half
a foot high, over which her hair was turned up)
a cap over it which knotted under her chin, ami
three or four curls hanging down Iter neck. She
generally wore silk gowns and the train long,
with a deep flounce all rouvd, a very loug waist,
and very tighriy laced up to her neck, round
which was a kind of a run, or frill. The sleeves
of her gown came below the elbow, from each of
which tour or five large cufts appended ; a large
straw bonnet quite TIat, high lieeled shoe*, a
large black silk cloak, trimmed round with lace
and a gold-headed cane, completed her every
tiny costume for the last 80 year*. Iter man
ner of living was so methodical, that she would
not drink her tea out of any other than a favou
rite cup. She was equally particular with re
spect to her knives, forks, plates, &c. *At break
fast she arranged in u particular wajr the para
phernalia of the tea-table) at dinner she also
observed a general rule, and always sat in her
favourite chair. l|aving always an excellent
state of health, she entertained a great aversion
to medicine. She cut her teeth at the age of 87,
and never lost one in' her life, nbr was she ever
troubled with the tooth-ache. Her sight latter
ly failed her. Site lived in five reigns, and wan
supposed the most iuithlul living historian of
the age, the events of 1713 being fresh in her
rocol lection.

American* in Jluttvia.?Exrtact of a letter
from an American gentleman in Le ghorn, to his

lately received a letter from my friund Major
Barney, in which he speaks of the pointed and
highly distinguished reception given him by the
Emperor of Austria, when on a late visit to
Trieste. He jravc him a private interview of an
hour, in which lie spoke with much satisfaction
of thu American commerce to his ports, and
said that every thing on his part would be done
to encourage it | he seemed to l>o aware of its
beina of more value to him than that of the
English, which impression the Major did not of
course fail to strengthen, bv pointing to the fact
that we not only brought ncn cargoes, hut re
turned Indenerf with the productions and manu
factures of the Austrian empire} the English,
on the contrary, took few of the former and
none of the latter. On this visit, he says, he
found the Anti-Chamber crowded with persons
of distinction, and tho Consuls of other powers
\yaiting for an audience. As soon as he enter
ed, lie was conducted into the royal presence,
and was told that it was the orders of the Em
peror to give tho American Consul immediate
admission. I am sure you will participate in
the pleasure felt in finding in tho sovereign of
so imjMirtant nation and with whom we had so
little intercourse, the manifestation of so friend
ly a disposition towards our country."

Mr. Peale has offered his spleiitlitl Museum

Should they decline the purchase, it ought to bo
secured to the nation and placed at tiie City of

onacted a measure that redounded more to their
honor and that of the nation than the purchase
of Sir Hans Sloane's Museum. Our govern

thers in giving encouragement to the means of
acquiring and diffusing the knowledge of what*
ever is useful or rare in the production!* of na

the Kf.it of government is essential to the elm

trifling when put in competition with the mag

and told him to " draw it to the grass or starve.

where he began to feed j this he continued for
seven days, when he was taken from the sled,
