King Louis Philippe rises every morning
st eight Vclock. fits firatals to
resAlhe letters which sre handed him, end
to despatch the most urgent affairs. This
done, he proceeds at nine o*clock to his
dressing room, where his familf erp admitted.
While the Queun, the Princesses,
and their brothers, are carrying on a conversation,
in general gay, animated, and
unreserved, the King shaves himself, and

and regular. Having finished his toilette,
during which he never ceases to join in
conversation with his fso?ily? the King.
sits down among them, embraces his children,
and amuses himself greatly with
the sallies in which they indulge, and to
which he takes a pleasure in exciting them
by. his own example.
At ten o'clock the King makes a frugal
breakfast. This meal is of short duration,
and generally composed of potatoes,
with great simplicity. On raising his
table he generally visits the masons and
builders employed about the chateau,
where works and alterations are incessant*
ly going on. From these excursions his
majesty frequently 'returns with his habiliments
covered over with mortar and dust,
for he takes great pleasure in creeping
under the scaffolding and climbing to the
roof, to assure himself that the works are
executed in strict compliance with his orders*
He chats with the workmen,. who
are seldom aware that the man with whom
they converse so familiarly is no other
than thu King of the French.
These excursions terminate at once,
when the council of ministers assembles.
The Kieg never fails to be present at their
meetings; he sits down at the common
table, takes immediate possession of a
kVi <>/>( n f nnnop and whila attanliunlir

listening to the deliberations, he tkeiciies
with his pep a variety of figures, either
grotesque or fanciful. In those drawings
is observed a great deal of what our artists
call chique. On the day when Alihaud
attempted to assassinate him, the King
. had drawn a group of aquatic birds which
it is said Fielding would not have disavowed.
The King closes the sitting by
recapitulating the arguments that have
been used, and almost always points Out
the course to be pursued.
Tho council having broken up, ho takes
leave of his ministers and retires. The
latter then dispute with one another the
possession of the sketches that have escaped
from the royal pen. These specimens
afterwards serve to enrich the albums
of the ladies about the Court, while
the artist himself, probably little dreams
of the value attached to his performances.
The King next wanders through the.
Tuilleries and Louvre. He is at present
much occupied with the galleries prepa-'
ring for the Spanish Museum, which is toi
be placed in the wing, where the clock is, \
and in that opposite to the Pont des Arts.
As an antechamber to the galleries there '
will be a room fitted up with a variety of
articles belonging to' the time of Henry
IV. which have been found in the Tuilleries,
for Louis Philippe professes a most
enthusiastic veneration for the Bcarnais.
The King often enters the ateliers of the
numerous artists employed about the
Louvre.
The painters to whom he appears most
partial are Messrs. Alau and Court. The
King sits down with them, examines iheir
designs with the eye of a connoisseur,
pronounces his opinions, which are almost
always dictated by sound criticism,
and takes evident delight in seeing his
pictures terminated. When he leaves
these ateliers he has been noticed to sigh,
_ _ J . I L I ?

flu Louvre and 'the quays, recollecting
with regret the time when, with his umbrella
under bis arm, he wandered unaccompanied
through the streets of Paris,
visiting the buildings in a state of progress,
and almost invariably stopping before the
shops of the dealers in prints and lithographs.
About two years ago an officer
of his household attempted to reprimand
a captain of the national guard, who came
all bespattered with mud to lake his place
nt the royal table. 44 Blame him not,"
said the King, 44 he's a happy fellow to
have it in bis power to make himself dirty."
At-dinner the Queen sits down with her
children, her sister-in-law, and the guests
who have been invited, without waiting
for the King, who seldom arrives till towards
the end of the repast. He helps

quently sends away after tasting it, on j
finding thai it has got cold. A fowl boiled
with rice is then placed before him: this
he euts up with his own hand, and generally
eats nearly the whole of it. He
then takes a bunch of grapes or a handful
of dry fruit, rises from the table, and
with his dessert in his hand, withdraws to
an adjoining apartment, whero all the
newspapers published in France are laid
out for his perusal.
The King attentively peruses this mass
of political dissertations, and seems to
find much amusement in tho irreverent
jests at his expense, in which the vctis
journeaux so unsparingly abound' At
the time when the Charivari and the Caricature
published nearly every day a
grotesque representation of the royal person,
he was often seen to laugh heartily
at their sketches, and in the evening talk-!
ed of them in his family circle, at times
even showing them about with his own I
hand. After he has read the papers, the
King jofna. the Queen in her salon, and
receives the persons admitted to the evening
reception. If nothing has happened

duties. The most perfect order and
cleanliness must prevail every where
around him, and any infringment of these
i rules is sure to draw down upon the offender,
a reproof not the less painful for
being pronounced with temperance.
At ten the King retires to his own apartment,
undresses, puts on his dressinggown,
and often works till two or three
in the morning. He never, by any
chance, affixes his signature to any document
without having first ascertained the
nature of its contents. He takes notes of
every thing, and classifies these notes ac-,
cording to a method of his own, intended
to facilitate future reference. To every i
sentence of death the King devotes the !
most religious attention; every document
connected with the trial must be subinited .

manner, and never signs them ;

From the Cincinnatti Evening Poet*
Reminiscences and Facts connected
with the Life of the late John Randolph.?On
a bright sunny morning, early
in Feb. 1796, might have been seen
entering our bookstore, in Charleston
South Carolina, a fine looking, florid
complexioned old gentleman with hair as
white as snow which contrasted with his
complexion, showed him to have been a j
free liver, or bon aivunt, of the first order;
along with ilim was a tall, gauky '
looking, flaxencd haired stripling, appa- 1
renlly of the age of from sixteen to eigh- <
teen, with a complexion of a good parch- <
ment color, beardless chin, and as much i
assumed sell-consequence as any two footed
animal we ever saw; this was John
Randolph. We handed him from the
shelves volume after volume, which he
tumbled carelessly over and handed back i
again; at length he hit upon something
that struck his fancy?our eye happened
to be fixed upon his face at the moment,
and never did we witness so sudden, so
perfect a change of human countenance;
that which before was dull and heavy in
? ... i ?.- i ?i 1-1-j

with the brightest beams of intellect, he
stepped up to the grey haired old man and
giving him a thundering slap on the shoulder,
said, 44 Jack, look at this!" We were
young then, but we never can forgot the
thought that rushed upon our mind at the
moment, which was, thatlic was the most
impudent youth we ever saw. He had
come to Charleston tc attend the races.
There was then living in Charleston, a
Scotch baronet, by the name of Sir John
Nesbit, with his younger brother Alexander
of the ancient House of Nesbits of
Dean Hall, some fifteen miles from Endinburg.
Sir John was a very handsome
man, and as gallant, gay Lothario as
could be found in the city. lie and Han-;
dolph became intimate, which led to a
banter between them for a race, in which
each was to ride his own horse. The
race came out during the race week, and
Randolph won?some ladies exclaimed at
the time 44 though Mr. Randolph had won
the raxce. Hir John won their hearts." I
This was not so much to be wondered ai,
when they contrasted the elegant form
and graceful style of riding of the Baronet,
with the uncouth and awkward manner
of his competitor.
Home two or three years after this visit
to Charleston, he was elected n member
of Congress, and such was still his youthful
appearance, that when he appeared at
the clerk's table to qualify, that gentle-1
man could not retrain from asking him1
his age; the answer was prompt if not;
satisfactory?"ask my constituents, sir," l
was the reply. John Adams was then >
President, and Mr. Randolph took a de-i
cided part against his administration.? j
Congress was then silting in Philadelphia J
and Mr. Adams' "hot water was withj
Frauce," being then on the tapis, the |
latitude Mr. Randolph gave his tongue in!
debate, occasioned bis being assaulted in
the lobby of the theatre, by an officer of;
the armv or navy, we do not recollactj
which or who he was, but Mr. Randolph;
made a formal complaint, which, to the!
best of our memory, met with but a cold'

and much too high for the good of the;

Arnold ihe members of Congress, Mr. j
Randolph had but few personal friends, j
but those few lie *'riveted to his soul with I

Carolina, and the vcnerubJe Aa hanicl'

and with her, and her sister, spent some
days in Charleston, when on their way to

Mr. Bryan showed us a letter which he.

The Yazgo fraull, a greater than which
. ever disgraced the annals of a state or nation.came
before Congress about this time,
t We arc acquainted with some of the nefari!
ous transactions which .gave risee to this
stupendous villainy. In 1794, a number
of men in Georgia, joined by some in S.
Carolina, calling .themselves the Yazoo
: company, applied io the Legislature of
Ga. in 1795 for a grant of an immense
tract of territory, to which she had no
right, and over which she had no jurisdiction;
but the men who formed this company
were not to be easily put off, and a
tittle from some Legislature was indispensible
to the success of their scheme.
They effected by bribery the accomplishment
of their object; it became a matter
of notoriety that the whole Legislature,
were bribed to grant the title asked for,
but which they had no right to grant.
The manner in which it had been obtained,
fam LmiiiiaiI it% # lin < t f i L a dnit i
uuo uiuuiu til uin iiuiro|iapvio "i iiiu iiujrf <
and none could plead ignorance. The J
grant being thus obtained, agents were j
sent through the States, to dispose of
stolen goods." They visited Boston,
where a company was immediately formed,
called ''The N. England Mississippi Land
company," who purchased to the extent
of some millions of dollars of these lands,
knowing them to have been fraudulently
obtained.
VVe Were in Georgia the next year, 1796,
when the new Legislature, who had been
elected with the direct view to this subject,
having assembled at the seat of government
and taking the necessary preliminary
steps, went in grand procession, with
their respective officers at their head, and
burnt, by the hands of the common hangman,
the record of the infamous proceedings
of their immediate predecessors; and
with them, the infamous grant itself.-The
Yazoo claim was by the New Eng-1
land Mississippi Land Company, to re:over
from Congress, the value the lands
so obtained; and it was in opposition to
Lhis application, that Mr. Randolph im
morlalized himself in speeches that will
stand ' the tost of time, of scrutiny, and
of talent." It was regularly brought forward
at every session, and as regularly
defeated by him. The late Gen. Wade!
Hampton and O'Brien Smith, were both
elected to Congress, with a sole view of
carrying through this unrightous measure;
and it was during its discussion one day,
when they were in the house, that Mr.
Randolph made the withering remark,
which rung through the Union at the time.
Slinking his long, lank finger at Mr. Hampton,
he exclaimed at the top of his voice,
" Mr. Speaker, I hope, sir, to see the day,
when a Yazoo claimant and a villani, will
be synonymous terms. On the evening
following, Mr. Hampton bundled up his
papers and waited on Mr, Randolph,
whose first salutation on the occasion was,
'4 have you come for peacfe or for war."
For peace, was the reply, or I should not
bring these papers. In an evil hour, Mr.
Randolph was left out. and before bis reelection,
the bill was past, and the robbery
consummated, to the amount of
85,000,000. An event which could not
have taken place whilst he had a seat in
that house.

in Baltimore, in the spring of 1820, when
he rode in an open chair, with a double
barrel gun beside him. to make a morning
call, and made his faithful Juba take the

after, he took passage on a steam boat, at
Bultimoje, for Norfolk; here his insanity
showed itself in a manner none eould

passenger on board, to whom he took a
great dislike, and calling for his gun, he

spoken of by many. No man of a great
and a sane mind, such as Mr. Randolph's
had been, could, while in a sane state,
be guilty of such conduct, as occasionally
marked his course, during his short embassy
to Russia.
It was generally nnderstoo , that he

proved. He possessed a mind fertilized
by every stream of Literature, but the

rather calculated to make enemies than

THE BROKE!* UK ART.
.About forty year? since, a young roan
in the neighboiltood of Vrogheda, Ira*
land, paid his addressaa to a ?tavo| ??*
man, a farmerV daughter; and although
s his attentions were hot approved ol by J
*her Xrteoda, yet she encouraged him to
hope, and eventually promised to marry
him. HIb Circumstances not being the)
best, and believing he might trust to her
fidelity, he was inclined to defer the ceremony
until he could realize a competence,
' or sufficient to make her comfortable; but
I Mary, being sought after by many, prcs* \
' sed by her parents to decide, and believing
his delay arose from indifference, at
leugth became dissatisfied, and told him
j she should wait no longer, but would
. marry the first man who would ask her.
Hs. thinking her declaration arose from a
sudden caprice, carelessly told her to do
'so, and they parted in anger. The miller
, of Mellifont was a douse, warm, middle'
aged bachelor, boorish in his appearance,
and sottish in his manners; but wiihal
! having the name of money, and a comfortable
situation in the mill, he was far
from being an object of indifference to the
parents of unmarried femalos. Having
regarded Mary with a wishful eye, and j
been often proposed for acceptance by
her friends, she now, while warm with indignation
against James for what she con*
sidercd his falsehood, consented to mahry
1 him; and, requesting that it might be done j
as soon as possible, no time was lost?I
every thing was prepared for the wedding,'
and before the expiration of iiventy-fours
hours she was his wife.
Among the guests invited James was
not forgotten: perhaps she wished to enjoy
a sjrt of triumph over him, and prove
she eould marry without liirn. He attended,
but was downcast and sorrowful,
taking no pari in tho boisterous merriment
so general at country weddings, and
appearing to pay no attention to what was ;
passing around him. After the bride had ;
retired for the night, her husband, the
miller, having indulged rather freely, was
carried up in a state of insensibility and
laid beside her, anil the lights beii.g re-'
moved she had full leisure to reflect on
her hasty conduct and rash treatment of
James, who she now found possessed her
heart although her hand was another's, i
Ere long she perceived a figure seated ;
iitu/ the bed's foot, and eagerly asking
44 Who is that?" was answered by James,!
"It is me, Mary, don't be alarmed!" |
" Why, James," said she, 41 this is very !
improper conduct; I am now the wife of
another, and if my husband wakens, or {
any person should see you here, it will
destroy me; you must leave that, or I
will call the people in!" "I can't Mary, for
my heart is breaking." She still insisted
he should leave her, but still received no
I ~ * 1 *1 t* ?
uiucr answer man "* wary, l can't, my
heart is breaking!'* At length he sunk
exhausted on the bed. Mary greatly alarmed,
railed aloud, and the company
coming in, found him dead on the bed's
foot, his heart having really broken. All
was aow confusion. His bod} was conveyed
to his residence a few miles distant,
and his friends having in vain tried
every method to restore him, he was laid
out to be waked.
The practice then was to put the body
'* under board," that is on planks, laid
on the under frame of a large table, over
which a sheet was placed, which, falling
down over the ends and sides, entirely
concealed the corpse: on the table they
placed candles, tobacco, pipes, &c. He
was waked for two days, and all the neighborhood
made poor Mary the object of
thfir r<>nrn?p.li. npv*>r l*f? Knr nnnri.
ment, but sat seemingly unconscious of
every thing, and bewildered with anguish.
However, on the second night she was
missed: she had left her house unperreived,
and had gone no one knew whither.
and as she could not be found after
the stiictest search, it was supposed that
she had drowned herself in the river.
In the morning preparations were made
for burying James, but in proceeding to
put his body into the coffin they found the
unfortunate Mary dead beside him. She
had stolen unperceivcd under the table,
and having insinuated her arm under his1
head, and placed his arm around her neck,
had in that position bid adieu to all her
sorrows.
Little now remains to be told. They
were buried in one grave in Mcllifont Abbey,
and although in life they were separated,
in death they were not divided.

' We learn from the Albany Argus, that
General Scott had arrrived in that city oil
Saturday evening, probabty with the intention
of proceeding to the northern
frontier, where it had been rumored, that
a new expedition against Canada was forming,
in the neighborhood of the Chateaguay
river. It is also strtcd, that Gen.
Seott had made a further requisition upon
his Excellency Governor Mnrcv, for two
battalions for this district; ami that the
Governor had promptly caused orders to
he issued to supply the troops from the
nearest brigades, if Brigadier General

the instructions of General Scott, deem
their services important.
The following extra from the office nf
