AT a time like the present, when the rage for emi. gration is so great, a few observations on the subject, , regret, . poverty gives pain, and many oppressions beyond the remedy of de magogue reformers and speculators—evils arising from depravity of heart, which are the consequence of im mutable laws ; the effect continuing till the cause shall cease. Yet,lat us ash our fellow citizens if there be any other country that can stand a comparison with our own. Behold it !—the seat of the arts and sciences— with all the prospects that can delight the eye—her spreading downs covered with sheep—her fields full of corn, and her meadows of cattle—her bowels_ filled with fuel—and, for its produce, the garden of the world ; her daughtets fair, and her sons so brave—her climate temperate and salubrious—and her harbours filled with ships, and her towns with manufactures ! But, strange to tell, some are of so unliaPpy a composi tion, so insensible to all the blessings around them, con stantly dwelling on imaginary evils, and seeing good only afar off, which their depraved dispositions will ever keep from their grasp—they forsake the Lind of 'their forefathers, deludeil by others or deluding them selves, to brutalize in the inhospitable forests of Ame rica, subject to all the evils of an unhealthy climate, the torment of mosquitoes, the croaking of bull-frogs, the society of noisome reptiles, and the extremes of heat and cold—and yet tell us, it is to avoid oppression, and lift more happy lives. They call it the laid of promise *we style it the barren plain of ditappoinimeng! CAUTION TO EMIGRANTS TO AMERICA. Extract of a letter from Philadelphia, dated 19th September :—" On the Bth inst. the Aurora, Harris, from Cork to Nova Scotia, was brought in here by the passengers, joined by one or two of the sailors. The captain had sued some of the passengers and sailors, but they have been released upon Habeas Corpus, our Court having no jurisdiction. It is unfortunate, that for want of a convention between the two countries both suffer material inconveniences. The vessel is owned by Captain Harris, and he chartered her to two men, who - engaged the passengers. These men gave receipts to the passengers, to deliver them at Baltimore or Philadelphia; and the passengers say they never knell( the vessel was going to Nova Scotia until they were some time at sea ; and that finding the captain disposed to take them there, contrary to contract, they obliged him to come here. It is reported by the pas sengers that the opportunity of going to Philadelphia and Baltimore wus announeed by hand bills in and about Cork. I have heard that another vessel, char tered by the same men, has been c►rried by the passen gers into . Boston. This looks like a plan " Nilson—The vessel alluded to is mentioned in the following extract : BosToN, Sept. 14.—Lately arrived here the British schooner Ann Bryant, Cork, 98 days, with 52 passen gers ; was bound to Qutbec, but on the Bth of August was taken possession of by the passengers, who confined the Captain to his stateroom till her arrival here. The mate was compelled to take charge of the schooner, and bring her to :he United States. A meeting was held at George Town, Demerara, on the 'ZOth of June, to take into consiatration the best means of introducing the tv,e of 6u:um-boats in that settleinent, %%lieu one third of the estimated sum ncees sary for tuffs purpose was subscribed in the course els ten hours It %ea.; expected the remaiaing shares NVollia be quickly bought up, as the locui advantages which would result trout their adoption wcre sU ObVIUIIS 6114 nArertaut. :nay recall our countrymen toe sense of the misery they inlx experience by following such examples.

This gentleman, who wtis under the ancient Regime, Minister of Murine to Louis XVI., and since distin guished by some able works, store particularly an Abridgement of the History of England, in four Bvo volumes, died on Monday last at the eivaneed age of 74. prise the most affecting incidents in the life of that unfortunate Prince and his family. It is remarkable, - that, although he could write the gnglish, language with considerable fluency, and even elegance, he could never speak it correctly. The whole of his " History of England" was written by his own hand, and re ceived no other corrections, but those which were sug rated by his Printer. His " Annals" and " Memoirs . were translated froth the original MS. by R. C. Dallas, Esq.—We know, that since his return to his native country, he has devoted much of his time in complet ing his " Annals; and that a treaty was actually on foot with one of our firbt houses for its publication here. He was indefatigable in his resea:ches; and the cause of truth would lose nothing,, which either exer tion or ability could accomplish in furtherance of its object. Latterly he has been totally blind; although we understand he has left several unpublished produc tions, which it is the intention of his heir to submit to the test of public approbation. He displayed the most sincere proofs of seal and affection to his King ; and remained with his almost deserted Prince, till the De mon of Anarcy denounced him to the National Assem• bly—his person was sought after with the severest scrutiny by the blood-hounds of the Revolution ; and ' his escape was as miraculous for hitnealf, as it was &mimic for posterity. His tors will be deplored—by • the reigning Sovereign—as that of a faithEdly attached servant to the cause of legitimate monarchy—by France, as one of its most ardent well-withers for her pros- Perity. Five French officers have been seat to Maubeuge, Conde, Ltmdrecy, Bouchain, and Cambray, there to receive the guns and military stores of the respective garrisons, from the hands of the foreiomers by whom these fortresses are to he evacuated. t/ The Prefect of the Moselle has enjoined the several Mayors through out his department, to restrain the inhabitants from expressing, in . any offensive manner, their exultation at the departure of the foreign troops. The British cavalry had arrived about the 15th inst. from Cassel and St. Omer, on the ground marked out for the grand parade manoeuvres. The Russians had been exercising %r many days to prepare themselves. The sovereigns were to reads the scene on Monday. It is said that the decision of Congress on tise ques tion between Bavaria and Baden has acetually taken , place, and has been highly favourable to the latter state. —The Grand Duke is to retain the whole of his do ' minions, except that part comprised within the Tauber Circle, which is to be immediately surrendered. The Palatinate, however, is not to be dismembered in the event of the Grand Duke's death, the House of Flock berg being declared the successor of that Sovereign. A letter f:om Boulogne, dated the 17th hst. says:— " Mc. Cock, printer of Windmill-street, Haymerbet, and a Mr. Ogilvie went into the water to bathe, when by the sudden rapidity of the current, they were car ried a considerable xr.ly out to sea, and although both expert swimmers, were unable to regain the shore. Captain Bushnell, of the Assistant packet, seeing their perilous situation, immediately sent his boat. to their asristanee, but only in time to save Mr. Ogilvie', who hail nearly perished. Mr. Cock was not so fortunate ; tOr, being quite exhausted, and babre assistarce could rtach hint, he sunk to rise no more ; his bode has not yet been thund.

The day was spent with the utmost con viviality, and with that cordial gratification which al. ways resujte from the meeting of old school-fellows. Several songs suitable to the occasion were sung.—lt is needless to my that the Chairman fulfilled his arduous duty with the highest degree of satisfaction ; and pre face • the customary toasts, with some excellent ob. servations, and with that grateful feeling, for which all who have the happiness of his acquaintance, know him to be so eminently qualified. The following appropriate lines, which were ex pressly written for a former meeting, were on this oc• vision congenial to the sentiments which pervaded the hilarity of the day : Behold 'midst the storms that late ravaged mankind, And left in their fury such havoc behind ; How many old friends round the board we can trace, But not one anioni,tt there that wears a new, face.
