CLAY, Speaker of the Tlonr,? cf Representatives JOIINGAILLAEI), President of the Senate, pro tempore. April 11, 1S20. Approved, JAMES MONROE. The Bachelor. Calling the other evening to see a single gentleman somewhat on the wrong side of fortv, 1 found him walking backwards and forwards over the floor, with his hands in his pockets. Why the man must be in love." said L laughingly, as I entered. Not at all, not nt all. he replied, but V.m in a confounded ill humour. I do believe I'll mary the first voman that comes in my way, for the sake of being any thing but an old bachelor. Fin tiredto death with tcazing, and quizzing, and bantering on every side. I can't Mcp out of the door without a napkin pinned to my coat, or a red Hannel cockade sewed to my hat. I went twice V church laft Sunday, with a pgs tail stuck under ray coat collar, in imitation of a queue. And about a month since, I visited an uncle of mine, who dressed as plain a G-;orgo Fox, with a queen and ten of hearts stuck upon either button behind, but by whom I have never been able to learn. It would seem a if they took pleasure in tonn?ttingI slept last night into Mrs. D a &t ws hsuvk'J, and I found

myself sprawling en the 2ccr ere I ihcovercd the chair had but three legs : and Miss Fannv pretending to think I had fainted, threw a tumbler of water directly into my face.- All this is thought very innocent as Iain an old bachelor: and should they break my neck, as I

verily believe they will, they will say O. never mind, he was nothing but an uld bachelor ! Now yesterday morning a parcel of young girls, at the head ot whom, I suspect, was Fanny D by some means or other gained admission intosny store, which being filled with ironmongery, is the last place in t.ie world I shculd have apprehended they would select ai a tncatre for mischiet. But so it was, while I vra3 singing at hurch, ihev were knocking my kettles and potitoamuch merrier tune. The next morning presented a ilnmal scene. I was quietly getting shaved, when my boy who opened the store, ran into the room with inexpressible terror, knocked the barber in opening the door over a kettle of hot water, and with tha little breath that remained, declared that the store had been robbed. Although it was some distance, I ran out with my face just lathered and a towel stuck under my chin. I lie store was not yet opened, and was vervMark. so, as you may sup pose, I broke my shins more than once ov.fr the scattered ware. There were razors and hob nails scattered over the floor, interspersed with locks, keys, and screws ; and a large copper still filled with frying pans, case knives, scissors, my portable desk, surtoutcoat, invoice hooks, and many articles too numerous to mention. This was all dene to torment an Old Bachelor, and I hare now determined to marry the firt woman who is so good natured as to have me.' W. E. 15. WASHINGTON, April 11. Commodore Barron has to far recovered his health as to be able to leave this city for his residence at Hampton, in Virginia. WASHINGTON, April 15. Tire IIousp of Representatives yesterday decided, by a decided majority, against a postponement to the next session of a revision of the TaruT of Duties on imports A motion was immediately laid on the table, looking to a system of Internal Taxation. We do rot consider the decision, abovft merdiored, as conclusive of the intention of the Ho'isg of Representatives inaiiv to pet on the bill during the sesslon, but as. expressive of their desire to drj SO. A decision was contemporaneously had in the Senate, favorable to the Manufacturing Interest, requiring the Army to bs clo'J.f d exclusively in articles of Domestic Manufacture. A bill has been reported in the House of Representatives, authorising a Loan of Two million's of doll: ; for the current year, and for other i.'urposts. The " other purposes'' arc, that such part cf the approrni.it ion of Ion million of dollars, for the. year 1 ti JO, for the payment of the interest, and l'oimbr.rseinor.t of the principal of the Public Itt-bt of the United States, us shall remain unexpended on ths 3 1st thy of December, 120, shall on that day be carried to the credit of tlio surplus fond. The bill for the relief of the Surviving Officers of the Revolution, has been rejected, in the House, of Representatives; we may say, decisively rejected; for, after its failure, on the exhibition of such zeal and ability in its favor, backed by the unwearied industry of a special agent in its support, there is little hope of its being again brought for ward with a prospect ot success. t CP LATE FROM FRANCE. Ecdtinwrc, dpril 13. The ship Repeater, enpt. Young, camo up last evonnz from Havre, in oG uavs. bhc sailed on theoth March at w iden time France was tranquil. One of the letters states that " the political sensation created by the assassination of the Duke of Beni has subsided, and the public funds, which had fallen, are now a high as djefore that event. It is urgent for the interests of the carrying trade of the United States that Congress impose u duty on French tonnage, to countervail the disproportionate duties levied by this government on cottons and other produce of the U '. States imported in American bottoms. NEW YORK, April 3. At the sittings before his honor .Tude Spencer, on Thursday, came on for trie! the cause of WILLIAM COLEMAN, (Editor of the Evening Pot) r. Henry B. Hagcrman, for assault and battery. Yesterday the cause was committed to the jury, after a long and patient hearing, at 4 o'clock, with directions to seal up their verdict, and deliver it in the morning. Just as this paper was goins; to press, the jury came into court with a verdict for the plaintiff of -1000 dollars damages. PAIH?, Feb. 10. Yesterday, at 7 o'clock in the wornwet, the door: of the galleries of the Louvre were thrown open to the multitude, impatient to render a last homage to the best and most unfortunate ot Princes. The body of his royal highness tiic Duke of Berri lay on the state bed, the priests said prayer, and the guards of Monsieur were under arms. From 7 o'clock until two, more than 30,000 persons of all classes passed before the lifeless remains, with an cider aii'J propriety that proyed th profound'

sorrow with which thay weftre penetrated. At 2 o'clock all the officers of Monsieur's house-hold arrived to pay their last duties to the prince. At three o'clock the do-xrs of the louvre were closed, and the public were no longer permitted to enter. A scene then took place, which any one who witnessed it, must feel a difficulty in repeating. The monster who

plunged all France in consternation, the vile assassin of the most generous of; Princes, Louvel, wa3 brought by two gendarmes, and placed beside the body of hh august victim. The sad spectacle excited not the least emotion in the wretch, he maintained all his apathy. The Prefect of the Police, Count Angles, entered, followed by M. Jacqucnot de Pampelane, and several others, and the assassin underwent the following examination : Q. Do you recognise the Prince you have murdered r A. I do. Q. I require vou once more to reveal the names of your accomplices ? A. I have none. Q. If the justice of man cannot induce you to speak tie trutn, think on the justice of God ? A. God is but a name. .lie has never been seen upon earth. Q. What could have induced you to commit an act so criminal 7 A. It will serve as a lesson to the great men of ray country. Q. Do you persist in saving that no peifcon inspired you with the idea of this crime? A. Yes. But as for justice, let it do its part, and discover those whom it presumes to be my accomplices. These are the only answers that could be ob tained from tr.H wretch. He signed them,' and was led hack to the Concier gene. It is impossible to convey an idea of his imperturbable coolness. Neither the sight of his unfortunate victim, whom he had so basely assassinated, nor the presence of the. magistrates, could give him an instant's emotion. One might imagine that some other person was under examination, his countenance was so tranquil. His eyes alone seemed unquiet and wandering. T . 1 1 Gen. Vives, the Spanish Minister, has at length arrived. Hie suspension of measures relative to the occupation of the Floridas was predicated upon a hope, that this minister, on his arrival, would immediately proceed to adjust all differences. We now trust, that, after the ceremony cf reception, they will proceed to busincis in n m&finer in which badness should he done, not only to ascertain the iowers of this officer, the probability that any arrangement he my make may not be rejected by the King of Spain, but a full and immediate understanding f the views and ultimate determination of the Spanish cabinet. Thus will all procrastination be evaded We also hope that Congress w ill not adjourn until this negotiation is completed : the affair is of the highest consequence, and will warrant an extension of this session beyond the usual period of adjournment. If it is means to deal fairly with us, we can understand it in a few days. Vaf. ddvocute. Com. Barron has so far recovered as to have left Washington for his residence at Hampton, Va. Ilavis, the person detected in plundering the mail near New-York, has been tried, found guilty, and sentenced to six year's imprisonment. Maine. Gen. William King, (rep.) has been elected the first governor of the new state, almost without opposition. lUassachusftts Gov. Brooks is reelected by a probable majority of about OCO') voles. The senate, it is thought, will be composed of 21 federalists, and 10 republicans. It will be recollected that Maine is now separated. Connecticut Governor Wolcof t, with the lieut. governor, secretary and treasurer, have been re-elected without opposition. The republican ticket for senators prevailed with an increased majority, though the number of votes was not so large as usual say 2500 votes. The house cf reprcicntatives is republican, by nearly two to one. Yiles. FROM LATE LONDON PAPERS. Twenty seven delegates from the radical societies in correspondence with Glasgow leaders, were apprehended, in full conclave, on the evening of the i20d of February, at the houe of a vintner in the Gallowgatc, and their pipers secured. Yv'e find nothing moment relative to the recent conspiracy. There had not, says the Globe of March 2, been any fresh arrests, nor any other particulars of the horrid plot. The trials of those in custody, would not, it was believed, come on until alter the general election. Cobbctfs Evening Post of the 28th, is filled with particulars relative to the late conspiracr. The irhigs charge the whole affair upon the reformers ; the latter, however, although Thistlewood was the ringleader, are endeavoring to cast the odium upon the ivhis. Mrs. Thistletcood is said to be a delicate and most interesting woman. A celebrated French writer on political economy, M. Say, iias this story : Reing in the country, I hid an example cf one of those small losses to which a family is crposed through negligence. For the w ant cf a latchet of small value, the wicket of a barnyard, Unking to the the fields, was often left cpen; every one who went through drew the door to: but having no means to fasten it, it remained tapping $ ;he poultry esca-

pe and were !ci. One.day a pig got! out and ran into the woods. Immediately all the world is after it; the gard ener, the cook, toe dairy maid, all ran to recover the swine. The gaidener goi sight cf him first, and jumping over ditch to stop him, he sprained his ancle, and was confined a fortnight to the house. The cook, on her return, found all the linen she hid left by th fire, burned; and the dairy maid, in he

hurry after the pig, having neglected t" tie up the cows, one ot them broke Uu rir ci a con in me siauie. tur"iruencr's lost time was worth 20 crown, valuing the pain at nothing ; the linen tiumed, and the colt spoiled, were worth us much more. Here is a lo4 ot lorty crow its, and much pain, trouble, vexa tion and inconvenience, and all for th - want of a latch which would not cost tkree pence, and this Ics, through a careless neglect, falU on a family littbable to fupoort it.
