The following article is f i ^ the N a tional Intelligencer. W e scorn to aim a shaft at a fallen man,as is the^Duke d’An- gouleme at this moment. But the anec dote is one which ought to be placed on record, as a worthy example, of decision and firmness in an American public Offi cer, when menaced by an enraged foreign populace, insiigaged by the minions of a despotic government : It appears by recent arrivals at New- York, that Charles X. with his family ancl suite, were to embark at Cherbourg in the American ships Great Britain and Charles Carroll for Scotland, to occupy their old habitation. Thus they are for ced to take refuge under the American flag, which the Duke of Augoulene took so much pleasure in venting his Royal spleen against some years ago, in Bor deaux.’ . W e well recollect the outrages our fellow citizens received in that city, both on the accession of the Bourbons, and on their return with the. baggage of foreign mercenaries, afteg the hun°dred days’ reign of Napoleon. W e witnes sed all of them, and can never forget the courageous conduct of Mr. Lee,who was then our Consul at that port. At a meeting of the Chamber of Com- m.erce o f Bordeaux, a large sum was vo ted to give the Duke dnd Duchess of An- gouleme a -ball. T h e spacious roofed Court of the Exchange was floored over, and decorated magnificently for the oc casion. In each corner of this immense hafl, were placed emblematical transpar ent paintings, representing the four q uar ters of the globe, tend over them were tastefully arranged the colours of all na* tions, among which the American flag was not the least conspicuous. The Duke of Augouleme, on the morning of the ball, being invited by the Committee of Arrangements to take a view of the decorations, which the crowds of the eve ning might hide in part from his view, was nearly throwri into convulsions at the sight o f the flag of Liberty suspended over America ; and to gratify his wishes, the ^ime serving creatures who accom panied him, ordered the striped hunting to be taken down, and the British flag put in Its place. This pitiful act soon took wind. It reached the ears of our vigilant Consul, who with several Amer icans^ among whom we made one, visited the ball-room to ascertain the fact. W c found it too true ; and we well remem ber the indignation it caused, and the spirited conduct of our Consul on the oc casion. By order of the Governor, all the inhabitants, on . the firing of the sa lute, Were to hoist the white flag. The foreign Consuls stuck it up by the side of their own. The Elegantes displayed their sheets, the House-keepers their t a ble clothes, the Poissards a part of their dirty shifs, and the Dandies their white neck cloths. From every house, except from our Consul’s, this emblem of N a tional degradation was seen floating in the air. On his balcony the American flag only proudly waved over the Magle. I can never forget the sensations this brave conduct gave birth to. There was not one among us at Bordeaux that would not, at that instant, have sacrificed his life in his behalf. Groups formed in front of his house, vociferating, with murder ous gestures, “ Vive les Bourbons I abas ces queux les Americanes ! a bas leur p r i vilege ! a bas VAigle.''* T h e scene was appalling. W e trembled for the result. In the midst of this tumult the Prefect visited the Consul, beseeching him to I ^ s t the white flag. “ You ought,” said he, “ to conform yourself to the cir cumstances of the times. Besides, the Dutchess of Angouleme is here ; the fete is in honor of her.” “ I f an angel were to descend to earth, and ask me to hoist your flag, Mr. Prefect, until an atone ment was made, I would not do it. Go to your palace, and make an honorable reparation for the insult offered my coun try by displaying the American flag, and I will meet your wishes.” “ If this be YOL. 1— NO. 6.—NEW P O L I T I C A L , s e r i e s V a n o t h e r HUMB170.

Mrs. VVilheiell, finding that her husband did not return, and judging that he was detained by the rain, and that he would ra purfvnjnr _ runners to cry up aTidax—sain it was hysterics—pretended to disbelieve the whole. At every step already, they have blocked up inquiry, and sent out all man ner o f reports. Messrs. Slade, D. Brown, and S. S.
