It was, on this occasion, with some spirit remarked, that no ob jection could be made to Bonaparte's taking pattern from the American Con stitution. r : On Saturday last, Mr. Hussell,, re cently charged with the management of the affairs of the U.

The day be fore his departure, he was entertained at dinner at Grighlon's .hotel, by an as semblage of his principal fellow-citizens at present in Paris, to the number of 60.

Happily, their 'regret' for his de parture was diminished by the gratifi cation of finding him nominated to the isame important functions at -London. which he so properly filled here, inas'll much as their country would thus con tinue still to enjoy the benefit bf his zeal and talentsr They could not moreover but be filled with hope and confidence on seeing their interests in the hands of an ambassador, all whose acts had ben devoted to the service oCtheir country;" This ntleman is, We believe, the same who. while yet a very young- man, or rather quite a boy, took ia leading part in the disturb bancea in Ireland ir the year 1798 ;andha: vin - been made a prisoner afterone of the baulesin which he acted as a principal Chieftain, was, in consideration of his ex treme youth, candor, and gallantry, released by the government, on the condition that he should not reside in Ireland.
