The Aukust Prince whom so high and so anspi emu:, p destiny awaits, will shortly arrive 3n - this country,' accompanied by their Majesties the King and Queen of the Belgians.

Important Discovery connected unlit Railroads. —During the last month or six weeks crowds of per sons, evidently of a superior class of society, have to the great surprise of the inhabitants of the quiet neigbboprhood of Soho, been seen bending towards, and inquiring their way to an obscure house, No. ff, Carlisle -street, near Soho-square. In the course of the past week the excitement has greatly increased by a vast assemblage of the nobility, members of the admintstration,.fellows of Colleges and scientific institutions, ennuent engineers, nasal architects, sur veyers, railroad dircctere , .. painters,•and a whole host of the patrons of the arts and sr.rences, all of whom were (as we found by following in the wake) attract ed thither by the exhibition of a model of a locomo tive steam engine, with other new and, apparently simple inventions, acting end harnionizilg therewith, are destined to work the following wondrous changes and improvements to . the present system of steam carriage conveyance—a desideratum, and a copau [nation devoutedly to be wished;" the engines and trains cannot possihly get off the railway. or upset.

SCOTLAND T.ridition Extroordinary.—There is now Lying in the vicinity of Anerueen, a gentleman who can boast personal acquaintance with an individual who had seen, and conversed with another, who had ac tually been present at the battle of Flodden Field Marvellous as this may appear, it is not the less true. The gentlerri to whom we allude was per. sonally acquainted vrffir the celebrated Peter Garden of Auchteriess, who died in 1775, at the reputed age ut 131, although there is reason to believe that tie was several years older. Peter, in-his youric.l. was servant to Garden of Troup, whom he accour panied on a journey throtigh the north of England, where he bat es and conversed with the famous Hen• ry Jenkins, who died in 4670., at the age of 169. JelliiltlS was born in 1501, and was, oh course, 12 years of age at the battle of Plodded Field, and on that memorable occasion, he bore arrows loan Eng lish nobleman, where he served in the 'capacity of page Our reason for thinking that Peter Garden 'a as older than he is reported to have beer. is this:— There are still lising indiVidoals who kr:ow Peter, and to whom he used to boast, that he hail servec. under- Muhtrose, and been present at the tight of Fyvie.. He used to say he was then a " gey.loun," arid page to Ogilvie of Forglen, lie had a vivid re collection 6rtlic encounter, and of the persorial ap pearance of Montrose, The battle of Fyvie was fought in the year 1614; and supposing that Peter was then- tietwe'en tell and twelve years of age, 'he must have been at leinit 141 years old when he died. SYNOD OF GLASGOWDAND AYR. Ocentuie anent. the Printing of the moat, Macre r lain, In bringing onward* the above sub ject, said. twenty years had passed since he had in troduced an overture to the , Sy nod. It happened that the patent to the Queen's printer expired in Ju ly next, and that a committee uf the House of Cord mous was appointed to inqaire into the subject, and he held•in hiserand a statement of thea recommend, afion—rthat Guverti.nent should not renew their pa. tete, but give the power of printing Bibles to any printer .woo might come under an obligation that the tell shall be pure, and, that he shall subject him. belt io certain penaltrea if not,so. Now this appear ed to him most alarming: What, would be the el leas ut this arrangement 1 That every printvr who could command as much paper and a fount of types as to print a Bible, Might ,proceed in the business, if he came under this obligation to print accurately under a penalty. Who was to enforce this penalty Com torssioner ? More.probably a Board of Cour massioners, and the whole matter perhaps placed un der the surveillance or such mixed Boards as had betel appointed lately for purposes of no small mo. ment and importance. But there were 'other con siderations beybrid the occasional inaccuracies (ruin the blundering of printers. The Very Bev. Priam. pal referted to the danger of that confidence which . the people of 8 2 cotlarid entertain to the correctness of the Bible being destroyed; thihe diminunon of rev erence for the Bible; to the deliberate mad intention al Mutilation of the Scriptures.

Swaim, the inventor and proprietor of the celebrated Panacea) at a ball at the Yoked States' Hotel, at Saratoga Springs, • and speculating on how many bottles of that remedy '' must have been poured down . the public throat"- to have purchased.•. the precious brilliant'," estimated, accunling to rumor, • at s2o,gpo ! Visiting at Saratoga at the time, and the suboect being one of general. conversation, there is' a little history connected with these jewels which I will' give, as it was related to me. LI do -not vouch for its positive accnnicy, but merely mention it as a passing on dit, Which demonstrates that there are te.o sides to a question, however insignificant—here it is : A few years ago Mr. Swaim received a request from one of tire reigning monarchs, through the me- Min of a.Minister Plenipotentiary ; .or an •• Envoy Extraordinary," to proceed immediately to Europe, for the purpose of administering his peraoaul advice, to relation to an aggravated case of Scrofula," with which a prominent invmber of the royal faintly was afflicted. Mr. Swaim, considering it important to test the effects of his, remedy in so high a quarter, preparat 'ry to its introduction in similar cases, over the whole continent of Europe, sealed without di:lay in the packet ship Stisquehannali f hum .Philadel phia. The case in question. although it had 1 affled the scii)nee and the skill of the o attendtng faculty," 'was but an ordinary one to him, and he Lad the good fortune oesubduing the disease, and of resto ring the royal sufferer to perfect health, in about three or four months. Mr. Swaim was requested to name his reward. He declined - accepting any other, however, thau aim ply the,_ , . royal autograph," affixed to an instru m..•nt acknowledging the cure. Them is a delicacy (probably a proper one)-with Imperial families in such matters, implying (49.1 it does) an infirmity of nature at variance VI Ith the om nipotence and the irrfvlrbilil y t! . l Kings, and the re quest was positively but politely objected to, and Ni r. Swaim consented to consider the matter as confiden tial with him if-andthe few members of the royal hoiisehold w 6,0 were privy to it. V‘Theitter or not-this occured' at the palace of St. James, of St. Petersburgh, or St. Cloud, or any eth er of the European courts, I could not ascertain'. The resits, however, was, that previously to his de parture, a string of diamonds was presented to Min, on be if cif the sovereign, the centre one of which alone is Valiied at $ 20.000—andthere are at least twenty-five brilliants altogether ; the smallest ones are estimated at $ 1,000 each. A magnificent pees- - em if is true, but what is that in comparison to the jewel of health, When weighed in i• the balance of life. ' This . 6nubk, which unobtrusively dazzled the eyes of so many admirers, cost Mr. Swaim precisely 22 bottles of the celebrated Pana . cca, and his incidental expenses. This little .81:w:dote may convince the public that there are two sides to s question, and that there ate lights and' shadows. in American life worthy of note. g. The foUowing extract from Bronternes life we present as a curiosity. If .Robespierre has been tra duced we may well doubt the authOncity of history. RO B ESP I IMRE, was born a republican ; his stud ies, which he pursued with ardour and success---his taster and lusliabits, which inclined him not only to love virtue theoretically, but to rigidly practice it.— his temperament, ,whicb gas, s. him a strong will, and an inflexible. determination, all seamed conibined in him to carry out the intention of nature. His early career Was marked by some ituccires at the bar, and iitensture. Electel to the Constituent Assewbiy, be gave hie undivided support to the'popular cathe he struggled zealously, bufunauecessfully, against the predominant opinion, which pretended to protect liberty, whilst it kept-1n authlinty its greatest one. aces. Never would be admit. that the absolute mon archy could honestly- reconcile itself to being only the ere - cut/re power. The freason;ofthe court soon confirmed his opinion. Thence, his hatred of the • 1 Constituents' who hail repulsed, insulted, and treat ed him as a disorganize; thence, the unbounded con fidence retkosixl in him by the people, as in one who had .seen farther and with more discrimination than the majority of hit colleagues. The people, after having conquered liberty, found themselves obliged to reconquer it again,' emit° defend it as wail: 'lhey listened to Robespierre ar to one who promis ed theurits full possession and enjoyment: But the guarrantee for this possession could not. reside in laws stone. New manners as well as new laws were indispensable to seeure it. There was need ed a complete regeneration. It was in the conviction of the overwhelming, necessity for such regeneration, that Robespierre, emboldened by his popularity, un dertook a task which would have,been suidime a mongst a people young and uncorKipted, but which the then state.of civilization rendered, impracticable in France. He said to the rich—no more ostenta tious pomp—no more effeminate voluptuousness; let your superfluities be the inheritance of the poor.— He said to the public agents, administrators and mag istrates—tor heads shall answer for your misdeefls; your functions shalt be bonered, but laborious, and shall yield.you only a just competence. Wherever. the scene of your duties, whether in cities, communes, or villages—it is yOu who must every where set the example of virtuous conduct. He said to the men • of commerce pease 'being citizens of the world.— Let your. industry, your specuiatiort have no sphere —no other end than your counties prosperity; open your heartamity to national egotism., He said to the priesss.o.You impostusesstrn Mahe no more doper, your =The kintlyo*PlfatiSsj,entti no more toed het* hetnsei!tx, us analq4 Weshall 4encs s ,fenh addreimuuchousages4riiilikttr the Sepresee &INV Re'staa , the Athelair—Allinta u the commeress, meat of jntopaiility.- lle•said to the diplihtrudiats, tinbrietsts, acid -ststesaiersa is no policy-but* justice, nothing is joss, but the tights of the people t. theseis,no good goserinnent, but wile:isthmus rights ;,ers.respettod.

Here he is stopped short,—his numerous- enemies break through' the state of thraldom be had placed them in; they summed to their aid all the disconsfined factions, and Robespierre is overthrown, and hie memory load-, ed with al: their iniquities. It has been said, Robespierre usurped the powers of the national representation . s.. But why did his colleagues surrender such powers into his hands! Why did they give to his behests all the weight of their sanction!—Perhaps the assembly was not free.' But who will beliete that more than six hundred men had not the force o three I What were the means of Robespierre! Without money, with out troops, without relations he had only his princi ples, his discourses, arl'his popularity. His princi ples—your duty 'was to have calculated the conse quences of them: his discourseeyou ought to have refuted, instead of applauding them with enthusiasm. his popularity—yogi had the same means of acquir ing it that he had; ,rou ought to have enlightened the people, detoted yOurselves to their sole interests, and then what calumny achieved foe you at last, good i itli had achieved long before. Nay, confess frankly that you thought yciu did every thing for the best acknowledge, as one of your party has since done, that what are called crimes and faults, were hen calamities, and also confess that you,did not cow- , prebend the system of Robespierre until the axe be .grin to menace your own heads. , . All , that the republican ern has-produced, of the beautiful, the grand, the immortal, has had its germ, or its birth in the second Committee of public Safe ty—that committee twelve times se-elected with gen eral accburietions and which Robespierre swayed as. he did the entire ' tiniverition: And you allege that, it was without the pnvity of this' stupid and Weber ous man—this executioner of the sciences and of men of science— that so many prodigies were con ceived and executed! But who will credit the as- . section, for who will believe that Robespierre alone was blind to what all Europe beheld with admiratios and consternation! Or, if he was not blind—if he, too, saw it, and if his power were Ruch as it has beets described since his death—what prevented !UM from adding to his victims those! illustrious members of ' the committee, whose labois kept up the sacred fire —the Carnots, the Pricers de la Cote-d Or, the Gtiy- . tons, the Fourcroys, the Gregoire% the Rommes, the Likanals, and so many others who did not.
