LATE FROM FR.4XCE.

days from Havre, brings French papers to

news of importance.

Lafayette. The Conslitutionel, in noticing the arrival of the General at Havre, states that he was received there with en

thusiasm. There is nothing in the French

papers, which leads U3 to believe that the

Government of France ha taken any meas

ure, to prevent the expression of the senti ments of the people towards our late illus trious visitor.

Galigninfs Messenger,says, the American

frigate which conveyed General Lafayette

to Havre, saluted the forts of that place,

which returned the salute by an equal num

her of guns. On the day after disembark

ing, the General departed for his country

seat, accompanied for two leagues by a nu

merous cavalcade, consisting of young men

of the principal families of the town and its

environs. Mr. Somervillc, American Minister to Sweden, Commodore Morris, of the Brandywine, and Captain Read, were in Paris on the 11th. The Constitutionel of the 12th Oct. contains Nuremberg dates to the 6th. The Gazette of that place states, that news from the frontiers of Italy,has been received there, that several Greek vessels were off Prevesa, endeavoring to execute the decree of the government, blockading the coast of the Pachalic of Albania but that the neutral vessels would not submit to the blockade, giving as a reason, that the coast was not really blockaded, that they would not recognize a paper blockade, 8lc. It is said that the masters and captains of vessels of the Ionian Isles are well disposed towards the Greeks, yet believing their commercial interests effected by the Greek blockade, they refuse to obey it.. The Greeks had stopped many vessels laden with munitions of war, bound for Turkish ports and laid an embargo on others. Some of which have been taken, coming from Turkish Ports, have been released on the ground that they contained no property of the enemy, but with the threat that if taken a second time, they would be condemned. There have been many spirited altercations between the Greek and Austrian captains, on the subject of captured vessels. The two sons of the brave Canaris, who are to be educated at the expense of thej Paris Greek Committee, have arrived, in France It appears from letters of Sept. 10, from Corfu, that the revolt of Candia makes rapid progress, 2,500 Greek Islanders having landed there with arms and ammunition for the insurgents. Accounts from Madrid to Sept. 26, state, that 2500 men had sailed from Corunna for Havana.

Another Tetter says "We have had a constant gale ever since we left the Capes of Virginia; and. since I have been to sea, rhave never known so unpleasant a passage.

time by sea-sickness, combined with an at tack of the gout in the right knee."

From the Phila. Freeman's Journal, Nov. 4. The Branlyndnc. The statement made in the Democratic Press, in relation to the leak of the Brandy wine, seems to have excited some interest and much doubt. We do not speak unadvisedly when we assert that the intelligence furnished by the Press, is strictlv correct and true. The reason whv it has not been heard from other source, is obvious, and will explain all seeming mystery. The officers of the Brandywinc, considering that the circi.aist.ince of the Nation's Guest having been sent out in an unseaworthy vessel, would discredit the government in no small degree, determiried to keep the matter secret, as fnr as possible. For this purpose, when spoken by different

vessels, the answer from the Frigate was

'all's icell" and the person who wrote to

his friend in this city, giving an account of

the particulars, did so against the understanding of the officers. This disgraceful

business affords cause for great regret, hut the facts must come out sooner or later, and the public have a right to know then). We repeat, with confidence, that the statement

of the Press is true, and we can well nigh guess that the government at Washington,

at this moment, have full information of the

truth, by advices from captain Morris.

DEPARTURE OF GEJV. LAFAYETTE FROM THE. BR ANDY WINE. The editor of the Patriot has been favored with the following interesting extract ro m an officer to a gentleman in Baltimore. U. S. Frigate Braxdvwine,) Cowcs, (Eng.) Oct. 7, 1825.5 I embrace this opportunity of informing you of our arrival, after experiencing several heavy gales, which proved our new ship Brandywinc to be a superior sea boat to any I have ever before sailed in; and in addition to that she is one of the fastest ves

sels in our service. We have only one fault j to find; that is, she ships many seas which

makes her wet and uncomfortable. But, I believe that it is, in a great measure, owing to her having too much ballast on board. We find the provisions which are expended every day lighten her very much, consequently we arc more comfortable every day. Wre spoke a brig within a day's sail at Havre, sent a'boat with letters for the officers friends, but was unable to board her in consequence of the sea running so high; spoke her however and ascertained she was from H avre, bound to Boston reported the General's family well, anxiously awaiting his arrival, which took place the next day. We sent a boat on shore to inform the American Consul of ur arrival, and for him to send a steam boat to land the General. A boat -was sent off from shore to let us know the steam boat would be along by 9 o'clock with all the General's family. We immediately commenced getting the ship in order for their reception: they came olf at the time appointed, and were hoisted in a chair suspended from the main yard arm of the ship. The General stood in the gang-way with both arms opcn ready to receive them, and bis son in the cabin to receive them there such joyful embracing I never saw. A salute was fired of 27 guns. They all left the ship jn two hours.-a-Midshipman Porter had

Description of the Scajinrk nf Pofi. The extent, varietv, opulence, and native

grandeur of the confederate states of Mexico give them a character of importance much higher than that which belongs to Peru although, in a commercial light, we should undoubtedly regard all those rising countries

with the greatest sympathy and respect.

Every account of them is, at this moment, when our Ministers are engaged in forming treaties with them, particularly valuable. The quantity of manufactures consumed in Lima Mr. Proctor attests fry be immense in proportion to the population. The whole northern coasts of Peru must be always supplied from the Lima market. With the exception of Callao, there is no other convenient port for merchandise along the whole line of the coast. Even in Salanas the surf is so high as to make it very unsafe sometimes to land. The remainder of the cost as far as Huanchaco, the port of Truxillo, is composed of sandhills and detached

rocks continually washing by furious break

in it in order to land, but after having had

the boat filled with water, and nearly swamped while we were more than a mile from the shore, he was forced to give up the undertaking, and make the usual signal, to the launch. Instead of boats and canoes, the Indians use what are termed balsas both for fishing, and for earn ing on their intercourse with the shipping; these are nothing more than two bundles of reeds, about 12 or 15 feet long, bound fast together, and pointed at one end, which turns up. On this frail machine the Indian, squatting on his hams paddles himself with a large split cane over the most tremendous surf. lie floats like a

The Indians go olf in this manner to the shipping,' when otherwise there could be no communication with the shore. They arc constantly employed as smugglers and will carry oil' as much as a hundred weight of silver at a time, bringing back manufactured goods generally without wetting them.

ELOQUENCE. The following paragraph from the address of T. Childs, Esq. delivered at Rochester, N. Y. on the completion of the Eric canal, will be read with great satisfaction, by every man of taste and feeling. We should

have given the address entire, to have done justice to this original performance, but the

extracts must sumcc tor the present.

THE BG.Y VIVAJT. The following account of a gentleman, says a late English paper, ip copied from the Album of Lady O. S. I am neither handsome nor ugly; tall nor short; but that is a matter of indifference to me: I am in good health; that is the essen

"The strong bond of union, which is constituted by this chain of internal navigation, makes it an object of affection to every patriot, and every good man wherever he may be. The confederation of the state-, as it is the source, and guarantee of all our prosperity, so its dissolution would be the most extensive calamity which could befal the human race. Monarch? may be vanquished, and their subjects and dominions transferred to other kings; a Buonaparte, a Bourbon, may hold the destinies cf an empire ; but the great concern of human improvement is no way effected. Barbarian hordes may nourish or die, and the beat they warred upon alone may mourn or rejoice. But put out this light, and "there is no Promethean fire that can the light relume.' It forms a moral bond which traitors cannot buy, iuA which bayonets cannot sunder. "How delightful, then, are the reflections of this day!

narrow or goggling, I see verv well through them; and that is quite sufficient for me. What signifies it to me, whether mv nose be trumpet-shaped, instead of being Greek or Roman, provided it can smell a bouquet? If my mouth be iargc, it is the more convenient to talk or eat with. If my hair he furzy, there is no occasion to put it into papillotes. 1 have neither establishment nor employment; but I do whatever comes uppermost, just as it suits my humor. I never trouble mvsolf about any occurrence, because I cv:u:;t on nothing: but I laugh much, because I turn every thing to account. I drink when I am thirsty; eat when I am hungry; and feed nobly: I sometimes take three, seme t i m e s to u r m ea 1 s p e r d i e m . I n e vc r go near such persons as bore me; and I never refuse an invitation from thoe with whom I am amused. When 1 find mvself surrounded by "beaux r-pri:s" I am not at all more nroud: when I find mvself in the midst of the great world, I am not at all more grave. I shut my ears when I hear n.v neighbors traduced; I open them when I hear a merry song. I never ask for nnv thing, in order v or to be refused: but. I always accept what is offered me, in order that no one may e offended. I nver indulge in projects, for fear they should not succeed; but I turn circumstances to my profit, when 1 find the opportunity advantageous. Women are ( ailed deceitful, perfidious, jealous ; I do not believe a syllable of it: to my view, thev are all sincere, sweet-tempered, tender, and faithful. I never trouble my head about what my mistress does when I am absent; if she treats me well when I am present that is all I ask. I never examine if she has ink on the tips of her fingers; if her eyes have a tendency towards the clock or window; if her answers are embarrassed; if she grows confused in telling a slorv; or if her gayetv

appears assumed for the occasion. She fells

me that she adores m; I believe it. A few days after, perhaps, I find her with another; I leave her, and carrv my love and mv devotion elsewhere. I possess a fund of sentiment and philosophy, which raises me far abnvr the operation of these trifling events. By seme I am thought stupid; by others witty. Seme blame my apathv ; while others regard it with envy. Some ladies accuse me of insensibility and scii-iove; the world at large sets me down for an original. For my part, I am on good terms with my--elf, which is the main thing. I am told that age will make me wise; to me it seems that I am so already. To conclude, I do not know my age; for some time past I have kept no account of the lapse of my years; all that i care about is employing "them well. What signifies it to a man whether he lives till fifty or sixty, provided he has lived the whole of his days? There are centenaries who cannot count a single year of happiness during their whole life. I shall be richer than they if! die at thirty.
