Louis t-8'tli,‘ was born at Versailles, the
l7tli November-, 1755, and consequently had
not reached his 69th year. He. was proclaim-
ed and acknowledged as King ‘of France on
the 9th of June, 1795 ; btrt had not been con-
secrated iior crowned. He- married -early a
Princess of S:irdinia,but never had issue. His
consort died in November, 1810." '
Louis 18th is succeeded by his brother,
Charles-Plrilip ofFrauce, Count dc Artcis,
who has taken the style of CliarlesX. Charles
IX commenced his reign in 156 O, and died in
1574. From that period, the reigning Moir-
arclis ofthe House of'Bourbon, in Friiiice,
were Henry 8d and 4th, and Louis 13th, I4-ll],
15th, 16th, 17th, and 18th. The new King
was born in Versailles "the 19th‘ of October, '
1757, and conseqrtently completed his 67th
yeara few days since- He also irrarried a-
Sardirrian Princess, who died in 1806 leaving
two sons and a daughter. The sons were the
Duke’D’Arrgoiilé,irre, and the Duke de Berri,
the f_ornier well known ;, and .tlre latter was
assassinated in .1820 .in Paris.—-Tlrese two
were tlie_i_iiiiriediate heirs ofthe Cf0\Vll.;‘TllC
heirs now are : ’ 3
I Lot.-is Antoine, Duke d’Angonleme, so
ofFrancc, born August 6, 1775, and rriarried
in 1799 to the interesting . Maria Tlieresa

born in ‘December 1778. They have not had
issue. ,‘ 2. Henry ClrarlesFerdiiiiirid Marie

the 29th of September, 1820, and son of the
Duke of Berri above named.

’ the Proclatiiation he issued when he was dri-

Information from ‘England, renders it high-
ly probable thattlie British Ministry intend
to make -an attempt at the next session of
Parliament to obtain tliepassage ofthe Un-
ion. Bill; atrd that the terms ofthe proposed
union will be unjust towards. Lowcr Canada.
4 In this Province aswell as in U Caiiadii,
it is believed that persons ofall parties perma-
nently connected with the Colonies, who are
in a situatioii to view the whole ground with-
out bias of passion or interest, have felt an in-
ward satisfaction and a confident hope, that
this nieasure would not be resuirred by His
Majesty’s Governureut.
lftire information which is now given be
correct, ifthe amended Billis to be,carii.id'
tlirougli Parliament, without the Colonies lia-
ving time to becoirre acquainted with its con-'
tents, or having accredited A-_v_cuts_ in Eirglaiid
allowed them to support their interests, it is
not very likely tore-eslablisli that confidence
in the British Government, which has produ-
ced so many good effects during the last fifty
years, and which received its first severe shock
from the proceedings already had in ielatiori
to this measure. -A Bill having for its object
to destroy the established constitutional weight
and iiriltreiice of the majority of tlreFreeirol-
ders ofthe Provinces. and giveit-to a minor-
ity, is iiitrodiiced in the . House of Coiniutrns
with the Sanction ofMinisters, on partial rep-
resentations, without the. ltiiorvletlge“ oftlrose
iuterested,.and all but passed. It is,‘-lrowever,
suspended, in a way to shew, that there was
no intention on their part to take the Provin-
ces by susprize. Seven tentlisof the Free-
holders of both Provinces petition against the

TON.-—Tlle solemn aird imposing scene ofthe
visit of La Fayette to the toinbof \Vaslring-
ington took place on Sunday the l7tli ult.-—-
At one o'clock the General left the Steam-
Boat Petersburg at anchor, off Mount Ver-
non, and was received into a barge inarrued
and steered by Captains ofvessels from Alex-
'arrdria,wiio had liairdsuinely volunteered their
services for this iutérrestiii-g occasion. He was
accoiiiparried in the ‘barge by his family and
suite, and Mr. Secretary~Calliourr. On reach-
ing the shorc, he was received by Mr. Lewis,
the Nephew of Waslrington, and by the gen-
iliamen of tire lilllllly'Of Judge Waslrirrgion,
(the Judge lriinsclf being" absent on official
ilirties,)aiid conducted to the ancient mansion
where, forty years ago, he took the last leave
ofliis “ Hero, lrisfriciid, anti our country’s
-preserver.” ‘After. reinzriiiing a few minutes
in the house, the General proceeded to the
vault, supported by Mr. Lewis and the geri-
tleiiien relirtivesoftlie Judge.and accompan-
ied. by G. W. La Fayette. and G. \V. Cuslis,
the Clllldreft Of Mount_Vernon, both having
shared the paternal. care ofthe Great Chief.
Mr. Custis wore the Ring suspeiiiled from a
Cincinriati Ribbon. Arrived at the Sepirlclire,
after a pause, Mr."Custis addressed the Gen-
eral as follows: -‘ ‘. _
“Last ofthe Generalsof the Army of In-
dependence!‘ At tliis awful and impressive

whose honored grave younow pay the mainly

dier’s tear. '
Tire ring has ever: been air enrblem of the
unioir of hearts from the earliest ages of the
world, and this will llllll8_lll8 affectioiis of all
the Americans, to the person and posterity of
La Fayette now and hereafter; and when
your descendants ofra distant day shall behold
this _valued relic,-it will remind them of the
heroic virtues of their illustrious sire, who re-
ceived it, not in the palaces of princes, or a-
nriil the porirp and ranitiesioflife, but at the
laurclled grave of Washington. Do yotr ask-
Is this the Mausoleum, befitting the ashes
ofa Marcus Aurelius, or the good Antonius?
I tell you, that the father of his country lies
buried in the lrearts of his couiitryiireri, and
in those ofthe brave, the good, the free,ofall
ages and nations. Do yoti seek for the tablets
which are to convey his fame to immortality?

the Ring,pressed it-to his bosom, and replied :

The 19th of October, the anniversary of
the surreiider of Cornwallis, was devoted}to a
graiid procession to the battle field——a military
review, and a public dinner, in wiiicir {$00 in-
dividuals participated. Among the ' guests.
were Col. l-luger, of S.C. who boldly attemp-
ted to release La Fayette from the Castle of
Olrrrutz, and Col. Fish, of N. Y. ~ -
On the spot where La Fayette stormed the
first redoubt, was erected a triumphal arch,
surmounted by the image ofari eagle-—arouud
the span of the arch was inscribed the name
pf La Fayette, on the rigirt,the name of Ham-
drop, and on the left, tliat.ofLaurcns. On the
procession rencliiiig this ar'ch,La Fayette was
addressed by Gen. Taylor in a most inipres-
sive speech of about fifteen minutes, to which
the General made a neat and modest reply.-
Tlre troops, amounting to about one tiioirsaiid
next passed in review, and tirade a handsome
martial display.
On the site ofthe .redoubt taken by Viorni-'
uel, and on the field where the British army
surrendered, two obelisks were erected, on
which were suitable inscriptions and- hand-
some d_ecora_tions.
On the 523d the Gen. arrived at -Williams-
burg, an_i_:llt_he next day visited the College of
Williairr and Mary, where he was addressed
by the President. After partaking ofa pub-
lic dinner he proceeded to to Jamestown, to
euibark3for Norfolk, where he arrived on the
24th. Here he was honored with every nrark
of respect. As the military procession ap-
proached lris quarters itwlieeled and left an
open space stifficiently l.rrge'for another pro-
cession, consisting of the children of the dif-
ferent schools, several hundred in number-'-
the little girls passed first, sortie with baskets,
strerving flowers. On Sunday he attended
public worship, under an escort ofthe largest
Jllasonic procession ever witnessed in .IVoi_°/'oll.:.
In the afternoon, under the sairie escort, he
visited fortress Monroe. On Tuesday he was
to set out for Richmond. ‘

flccident to the Steam Boat Columbia.-
The steam boat Coluiiibia, Capt. Clark, left
here on Thursday afternoon, with a loaded
tow boat, to go by ‘the inland passage to
Georgetown. In the evening she came to in
the Narrows, back of Sullivan’s Island, about
two miles from the Cove. Tire boat having
been moored,lie:id and stem, as was supposed
in the middle of the channel, the passengers
and crew retired to rest. Between I9. anti 1
o’clock, on the falling ofthe tide,tlre boat was
perceived to have taken the ground on one
side, which caused her to careen very inucir ;
Dr. Home and Mr. Flagg,two gentlemen who
were passengers, had barely tiriie to escape
from their beds and run upon deck before the
cabin filled with water; and we regret to add
that Mrs. Ptatin, (wife of Mr. W. Raiiii, Ba-
ker, formerly of this city) and her daughter,
about five years of age, aird a negro woman
and child, who were in the after cabin, were
' drowned—tlre steaui boat slipped off the bank
on which she had partially groiitided, into
deep water, immediately filled and sunk. At
low tide yesterday, her deck was entirely un-
der water, with tlie'excepti_on ofa few feet at
the sterri—biit it is expected she can be raised
with the assistance of other vessels,wiiich may
be taken along side oflier. The row boat did
not receive the least iiijury—slie was brought
back to toivii last evening. Tire bodies of the
unfortunate Mrs. Ratio, and her daughter,
were-recovered yesterday, having floated up
out of the cabin, through the sky-liglit, and
were brought to town with the boat.

That the public may in future know what
degree of coiifideticc to place in the assertions
and how to regard the efforts, of those who
have been so veheriierit in their abuse of ‘the
members of our last legislature, for adopting
the usttal method of securiiig the votes of this
state to the man of rtlreiri and ofthe people’s
choice, we publish the following plain state-

New-Canrzan, Oct. 17th. _
Mn. BABCOCK,—I should not have troubled
you with this, was it not that a newspaper cal-
led the Times, has been sent to this place
which contains air address to the Republicans
of Connecticut, which seems to have been an-
thorized by a Convention liolden at Hartford
on the 6th iirst. Tire address contains many
palpable filselioods, to saytlre least ofit. l

ford ? Surely not. -Now they charge us with .
destroying the utiion and harmony of the Re-‘
publicari party. But was there any better
mode than the one pursued, to secure it‘? If
there was, why was it notjirrentioned at that-
time? ' Tire result of the New-'-Havetrcaucus
is well known-—Aud why it is that the mem-
bers of that body did not follow the dictation.‘

less it was that the" news of their being the

three fourths of the nrembers, had formed no
definite opinion on the subject; mucli-'l‘ess di _

choice ofElectors will confirm their declara-
tions, and satisfy the members of the Junior
“ Hartford Convention,” that their address is
not true. It is absolute mockery for them to‘-
talk about the union and harmony of the Re-
publican party. Were they not as fairly rep-
resented in that caucus as any portion of the
State? And after all Mr. Crawford could
not get but seven votes. And now these hire-
ion among Republicans—-that .we have sought‘
to divide and distract the party! If the pro-
ceedings at New-Haven were wrong, wiry not.

vise sonre other method to secure the -union
and harmony of the party ? But sir, not a
lisp ofopposition was heard——every republic-
an acquicsced in the proceedings, and never
hinted that they were wrong or improper.---
On the contrary, so far as any opinion was
publicly ‘expressed, it was in favor ofthe pro-
ceediiicrs. But sir, after six tiiontirs have
clapsed,,a little puny editor calls :1 Convention,
at a place famed for such proceedings, and
tlreretlrey gravely puffolf an address to the
