And hates a thief, by dad sir,
And receiver makes him nation mad,
For he is just as bad sir.

And make out well by shaving ;

Who has forgotten the enterprise aud fate of
Park ? Alajor Pe:ldie is about treading in his
steps, his ends the same, but the season, and the
means, are essentially different. Every thing is
shunned which was supposed to have defeated the
expedition of Park. :
In 1804, Mungo Park was invited by the se
cretary of state for the colonial government, to
undertake an expedition into the interior of Af
rica. The great object in view, was, to trace the
river Niger, wRose outlets have never been ex
plored by the Europeans. Many conjectures
had been entertained. The opinion of the an
cients was that it had no connection w ith the o
cean, but spread itself into a censidcrable lake, the
Caspian sea. Major Rennell, the celebrated ge
ographer of the present age, has adopted this o-
pinion. Another supposition was, that it lalls
into the Nile, constituting the western or White
branch of that wonderful river. A third idea
was, that it branches itself into a variety of
streams, which fall into the Atlantic ocean, at
the northern point of the Bay of Guinea. But
the mostplausible opinion, is, that it turns to the
south, and ultimately terminates into the river
Conga, which is described as " one of the most
munificent streams in the tvoj ld ; running with,
tho rapidity of six or seven miles au hour, and a
width of nearly an English mile, for man v hun
dred miles above its mouth, and the depth of not
was most
less than 50 fathoms." Mr. Park
strongly of the latter opinion.

On the contrary, by 9 o'clock in the morning of
the appointed day, crouds ot people began to as
semble in the State House Yard, Potter's Fiejd,
and adjoining streets, fixing their eyes with anx
ious gaze upon that part of the horizon from
whence the aerial wonder and its adventurous
projector were expected to debouch. There was
something in the place calculated to attract
croud, independent of the Balloon spectacle,
from the circumstance cf its having been the scene
of such frequent throngs during the late trial for
murder, and many good souls noncstly believed
that an attempt was to be made to rescue poor
Smith from his fate, under cover of this pretend
ed journey through the air.

hucksters spread their booths, and the !ake wo
men arranged their bassets, in solemn prepara
tion, as for a "rand gala.
The hour passed by aud no balloon appeared,
nor was there even an apology made by any of
the tenants ol the prison yard, lor not complying
with the promises which the hand-hills had an
nounced. It was not until some time after, hotv
sivtvr, that the concourse dispersed, when they re
tired, satisfied that it was all a hoax. And it is
just in this w ay, if I mistake npt, that many peo
ple get themselves hoaxed every day, by believ
ing without sufficient evidence, what they anxi
ously wish. The contrivers can have very little
satisfaction in reflecting-that thev occasioned so

French Government since the explosions at Gre ,

by our private letters than by the public"Jour

ces the report that the Russian Array itt tO bcj

The King of France has very preperly distri
buted the forfeited property of the rebellious fam
ily of Bonaparte among the soldiers and officers
who had lost the pensions earned by their wound
in battle, and has in this respect made no distinct
tion between the royalists of La Vendee and .
those who had served under Bonaparte prior to
the first restoration.

From the Paris Journals we have this day
made some further extracts. A misunderstan
ding had arison between the Swedish Court and
the Porte. To the approaching. Diet at Frank
fort i to be referred a dispute oetweeti Austria '
and Sardinia, respecting tlie fortresses in Italy.
These subjects, together with the disputes in
Wirtemburg and Baden, which will come before
the same Diet, will afford opportunities for tho
mediation of Russia and tlie other great pow
ers.
" We are concerned to state," says the Bath
paper of this morning, " that a disposition to tu
mult exhibited itself among the lower classes at
Yeovil on Tuesday, but, by the temparate con
duct of the principal inhabitants, it was sup
pressed without any material damage being
done."
We understand, that the statement which has
appeared in several .oCthe papers of the appoint
ment of the Earl of Dalhousie as Governor and
Commander in Chief of Nova Scotia, is erroneous.
Prince Antony of Saxony is expected to re

best paint the situation to w hich he was reduced.
" Your lordships will recollect, that I always
spoke of the rainey seasons with .horror, as being
extreifely fatal to Europeans; and i)u'r journey
from Gambia to the Niger will furnish a melan

The Duke of Wellington has arrived in Paris.
Little importance is attached to this visit. -His.
Grace s audiencej with the King seem to be mas
ters of course, and it is in the nature f Bourbou
associations to mix the hero of Watorloo wjftht
their happiness. Some consequence seem9 na
turally attached to the change spokeA of iifc the
Russian representation at Paris. It is expected
that M Pozzo di Borgo will be recalled from his .
diplomatic situation at the Cou-t of France, and
succeeded by Count Woronzow, the commander
of the Russian contingent. '
An extraordinary degree of activity pre
vails in the French naval departments. The Cyt
bele frigate has sailed from Brest for Newfound
land, where sho is to be stationed, with twosloopt
of war, for the protection of the fishery. The tri
al of Didier, the ostensible leader oV tho insur
rection at Greenoble, has- commenced. : .
