Deciat-tttion.
Her I\'Iajesty the Queen of the United
Kiiigdom of Great Britain and Ireland,
having been compelled to take up arms
in support of an ally, is desirous of the
Powers with whom she remains at peace.
To preserve the commerce of neutrals
from all unnecessary obstruction, Her
Majesty is willing, for the present, to
wave apart of the b€ll1gBf8IlL,l'lghlS ap-
pertaining to her by the law of_nations.
It is impossible for Her .Majesty ‘to
forego the exercise of her right of seiz-
ing articles contraband of W81’. and 0f
preventing neutrals . from hearing the
enemy's dispatches, and she must mam-
tain the right of a belligerent to preyent
neutrals from breaking any effective
blockade which may be estabiished with
an adequate force against the enemy s
forts, harbors, or coasts. _ _
But Her Majesty will waive the right
of seizing enemy 5 ~ pl’0P9l‘tY_l3d°“ 0“
board a neutral vessel], unless it be con-
traband of war. _ " _
It is not Her Majesty’s intention to
claim the confiscation of neutral proper-
ty, not being'contraband of war, found
on board enemy's ships and Her Majesty
further declares that, being anxious to
lessen, as much as possible, the evils of
war. and to restrict its operations to the
regularly organized forces oftlie country
it is not her present intention to issue
letters of Marque for the commissioning
of privateers.

F1-ench Declaration of War. ,
"The French Declaration of War is
short but to the point. The following is
all there is of it.
N The legislative body met on Monday
at two o'clock, M. Billaut in the chair.
The Minister of State was introduced
with, the .usual ceremony, and in the
name of the Emperor, read to the Cham-
ber the following message:
nmessleurs les Deputes-The goverii-
memof the Emperor and that of her
Britanic majesty had declared to $l1€.*,Cllb-
ins.-t of St. Petersburg that if the differ-
ence with the Sublime Porte was, not
replaced in a purely diplomatic position
in the same way as it the evacuation of
the Priricipalities of Moldavia and Wal-
lachia was not commenced immediately
and terminated by a given day, they
would see themselves forced to consider
1! negative reply or silence as a declara-
tion of war. The cabinet of St. Petersburg
having decided not to reply 10 me com-

The moment the Hon. minister con.
cluded the loudest acclamations arose from
every part of the chamber. The presi
dent their arose, and after having formal-
ly acknowledged the reception of the
message just delivered, said: "_Llie Em
peror may reckon on the unanimous co-
operation of the legislative body as ‘on
that of the whole of France.” Fresh ac-
clainatioiis greeted the assurance thus
given by the Hon. president. The pro-
ceedings then terminated amidst reitera-
ted cries of Vice l’ Empereur.
The message was received by the
French Senate with similar unanimity
and enthusiasm.

cr the case in old Connecticut. The monu-
mentpassed on the Danbury and Norwalk Rail
road last week and is now at the former place
awaiting the ceremony of erection. It ifila
beautiful specimen of the scu1p_tor’s art. The
Hsrtford Courant thus describes it :
" It is made of Portland Free Stone.
The "base is eight feet square, and the
height forty feet. Two faces of the dll‘
contain inscriptions, and the other two,
figures. One represents the. death of
Gen. Wooster’, the other has some Ma-
sonic figures and emblems. The bascnl
the column contains the , arms of the
Statt_e,,and theshaft is ornamented, tlio’
_simply. The capitol is beautifully pro-
portioned, and the wbolasurmounted by
‘the American Eagle. -,,',1‘li,e work. has
been designed andexecuted with a good
deal of taste and beauty." _
The New York F.vening_Post, in a notice of
this monument, says:
' ." The great attraction of the sculp-
ture is a -bold figure of General Wooster
iuponhis war steed, as the fatal bullet
entered his breast. His body is ‘thrown
back, leaning upon one side, with uptur-
tied face. Upon one side of the manu-
ment is the following inscription:
DAVID WOOSTER.
First Maj. Gen. of the Connecticuttroops
in the - "
Army of the Revolution,
Brig; Ggpn. of the A"mericaii Colonies :
Born at Stratford, March 2. 1710,
Wounded at Ridgefield. April 27, 1777.-
while defending the Liberties of
America,
and nobly died at Danbury,
May 2d, 1777.‘
Of his country, Wooster said:
‘My life has ever been devoted to her
service, from my youth up, though nev-
er before in a cause like this ; a cause
for which I would most cheerfully risk
-—nay, lay down my life."
The New Haven Pitlladium of Friday, thus
speaks:
“ The Wooster Monument passed
through this city yesterdtry afternoon, en
route for Daiibury. The representation
of the gallant Wooster on horseback at
the instant he received the fatal wound,
is very expressive. Masonic enihlt-ms
are finely wrouglil, and the structure,
when C0!11pl.°le(l,'\l'lll be worthy of the
meincry of the l‘.'l9.1'! it is intended to
commenimorate.

A “ Rara. Avis.”
The lovers of ornithological wonders about
town have enjoyed is rare treat for several
days past by the exhibition of another ovarian
prodigy, (which, however, had successfully
passed the incubator-y process,) at the store of
Wm. D. Height, Esq. This beautiful and rare
winged animal was captured after extraordi-
nary exertion and hard shooting by Mr. Aaron
Saunders, at Norwalk Islands, where, it is sup
posed the poor fellow must have been driven
by adverse winds and April snow storms. Mr.
Height, however, was the successful purchaser-
among all who strove to possess the aerial won-
der. It is of most gorgeous plumage, variega-
ted, with s most exquisite lace work of white,
alternating with black and brilliant slate, web
footed, duck head and bill, and is pronounced
by our most learned ornithologisle to be I. most
magnificent specimen of a “ great .N'ortliern
Diver,” while others of the common herd pro-
nounce it I “ Brant Gosl-mg,” while among
other some of the baser sort, were those wicked
enough to pronounce it nothing but—n loan.
We shall reserve our opinion until further de-
velopments are made in the science of birdolo
gy—but we strongly suspect there's ll. loan
somewhere in the transaction.
We would state by way offavor to any dc-
glx-lng to purchase it bird of extrnrdlnary
beauty for ti. parlor ornament that it is for sale,
although the piircliaser must expect to pay a
liberal price for so rare it fowl. We have no
wish to prevent any professional services
which would nndobutedly accrue to our den-
tists slionld the bird be eaten (as we are in-
formed that he is of most delicate flavor-)—but
we do think It would be robbing the world of
too great a curiosity to thus destroy so many
pretty feathers! - I _ ‘ -

The Bai1>‘ca‘!" what ii ‘stupenduoiis
work to be the invention of a single
mind, and he a mortal! ‘ It would seem
in beholding it-thatthe gigantic mind of
Newton was necessary to conceive the
idea of spanning the giddy abyss with a
single arch, and how such massive tim-
bers could be suspended in mid air re-
mains a problem .yet to be solved. One
unacquainted with such .noble works of
at. would suppose that the labor of a
Hercules with the lever Archimides in-
tended to upset the world and all crea-
tion. was called into requisition, to erect
so wonderful and magnificent a structure
merely for the benefit of man and beast,
by which his name is enrolled among
the sages of the 19th century! But the
crowning part of « the" noble structure is
still seen, in all its unsightly grandeur-
the town is too poor ("aside "it up.
I closed the other eye, and dreamed
that the editor, a worthy, good natured
and ‘well meaning personage had con-
ceived the all-absorbing idea that this
important inland" town would soon be
irretrievably metamorphosed into a large
and popiilousrzitg/. Only think of it,
gentle reader, a. city, second only to
Bridgerorr, with its numerous streets and
places of amusement, but alas! cheated
out of the. court house. The thought is
harrowing to the soul, so I will pass on.
- .lii my walk I understood that there
was to be many great and important
measures carried into effect by the well
disposed. One was, to widen Lumber
street. A proclamation has been issued,
the Fathers of the town have examined
and approved of the measure and given
their names to aid in carrying out the
desired and laudable eiiterprise. They
have drawn lines where the road should
be and assisted in driving a stake as the
startling. point, but unfortunately some
evil disposed boys while playing a game
at marbles accidentally hit the stake and
broke it off, thereby they have lost their
reckoning. But I am inclined to believe
that the long desired object of widening
the streets will never take place during
the time of the present generation, be-
cause land is so valuable, and the pea-
ple's hearts so contracted. Thus so long
as they can hold peaceablc possession of
a few feet of land belonging to the town,
they will never abandon it for the bene-
fit of the public, for if one is obliged to
yield, all must follow, for there is
scarcely a "building within the fire limits
of the town but what is on the public
highway, so that their motto is, and will
be, to keep still and let the enterprise
die _iii smoke. V Youpiiever need look for
iiny‘desira"b"l"e public" improvemeiit while
the minds oftlie people are wholly ab-
sorbedin beiiefitting self. The -talk of
improvement in this generation is as
plausible" as to attempt to force water to
run up an inclined plane.
Norwalk in many respects is a very
desirable point, and persons living at a
distance, desirous of raising a few hogs
can find locations for their pens in al-
most every street, and that too, without
charge, let or hindrance. Would it not
be to the town a source of revenue, if not
of health and beauty, to rent the little
vacant spots for pig styes, in order that
the refuse of the kitchen may be turned
to profit instead of being thrown into the
streets to decay.
How the good Fathers of this goodly
town, who ever have the welfare of their
children at heart, ever taken a stroll
about town during the warm months,
and had their olfactory nerves invigora-
ted by the aroma arising from the beauti-
ful perch and striped bass, scattering
their delicious perfume, and seeming the
And as you walk on you see stores that
once were the depots of fashion, the
property of the was thy, and staunch ad-
vocates of the Maine Law now rented

I must now stop. My other eye is
closed. So good night. BISALZABUB.
