A TOUCH OF THE. SUBLIME,. —The following - high.
ly figurative and apt illustration, is from a Maso
nic. paper-printed at Lancaster, Pa. The N. Y.
Mercantile, which has noticed this burst of go.
pins, thinks the writer entitled to a leather medal.
"In this time of groat excitement and party
contest—and when political sea.serpents are
sticking on the rudder of our free institutions,
let us ho on the look-out, for talented and true men
to fill such high stations."

ROTIBETIY , OF TILE MAIL STAGE
"We undeistand" says the Itqlmond
ler, "that the Southern Mail Stage was• robbed on
Saturday night of all the baggage belonging to
the passengers. The robbery was etiected by
cutting the straps which confine the baggage to
the hinder part of the stage; and is suppOsed to
have been done immediately after it left Peters
burg—although the robbery was not discovered
until it arrived at the Post Office , in Hiclanond.
An endorsement on the way bill of the stage,
which left-Petersburg yesterday morning at 8 e
c lqc k , states that two atilt) trunks had been found
in the river—[the Appomattox it is presumed.]
Dr. Houston of this city, is a sutler-or to the a
mount of 7- of $800."
"13'Is it not possible to employ chains—in-
stead of ropes, or straps, for the - pttrpose of confin
ing the baggage? How mut.th annoyance is
done by. these cuttings off of the baggage?—
Things ought certainly to bo ordered otherwise.

May 9 Rill,
We have only tinle to Ailed:the following arti
cles from the late Foreign News.
The New York American says, the ac
counts are decidedly warlike, and the de
bates are angry dad violent. The Gazette
de France of Ist April, the latest Paris pa
per received, asserts positively, on the au
thority of the National, the fact of the entry
ofthe Austrians into Bologna on the 21st
and :4'2,d of March. This news had been
previously contradicted, and the Austrian
ambassador at Paris M. d' Apony, contin
ued to deClare he had no information of such
a movement. The Austrians, it is stated
in a private letter to the Journal du. Havre,
Inuo;omunitted groat excesses in Italy, lin
prise-Mug, and executing , ad libitumull ob
noxious persons.
New difficulties arid popular tumults oc
curred at Brussels on,the 20th, which were
suppressed for the timebeing on the 30th.
The condition of Belgium is,,most melan
choly.
Another letter from Havre of the 2d Jilt..
says----" It is probable that in fifteen days
the question of Peace or War will be . slecid
ed. Our government has signified to the
Caiinet of Vienna, that the further occupa
tion of Bologna and the Pahal States, will be
considered a declaration of war."
The movement of the Austrian t roops up
on Bologna appears to have been unexpect
ed. They entered that town upon the 20th
March, yet the Precursor of &lova of the
10th says nothing of their approach. The
provisional government, the Italian patriots,
itnd all who could bear arms, retreated a
mong the A ppenines, the passages which
stin , rod the most opportune seat for a des
perate. resistance.
The' fbllowing we copy from the Com
mercial Advertiser:—
The Austrian Observer, the government
paper in Vienna, congratulates the country
upon the pacific character ()Hilo new French
Minister. It adds:—‘‘The great majority
of the French concur in these principles.—
All Europe shares them, governments, and
people. It is only by the preservation of
peace, and by the re-establishment of the
internal tranquility of states, that the evils
which now oppress nations so heavily, can
be removed, property secured,•tradc revived,
and creditrestored.pf his is the voice which
is now heard all over Europe. The Aus-
own; and every Austrian, who loves his
monarch and his country, will render hom
age to it."

POTTER'S
VEGETABLE,CATHOLICON.
ADVERTISEMENT.
The unrivalled and extensive reputation
acquired by thiS medicine for the last five
' years, both in HOSPITAL and private prac
tice, demands from the proprietor his grate
ful acknowledgments to a discerning public.
Potter's Vegetable "Catholicon is offered for the
cure of Diseases of the Liver, Uletrated Sore
Throat, Debility resulting from Intemperance
and Dissipation, Scrofula or King's Evil, Old
and InVeterate Ulcers, Pains in the Bones,
Rheumatism,
Dyspepsia. or Indigestion, Dis
eases of the Lungs, Syphilis, Blotches on the
Pace and Skin, White Swelling of the Joints,
'fetter, Mercurial diseases, Piles, &c. &c.-
The Catholicon consists exclusively of
vegetable matter, and with a slight deter
mination to the bowels; which .it preserves
in a soluble state,, acts insensibly, is pleas
ant to the taste, and requires no particular
regimen or cOnfinement. As a gentle ca
thartic medicine, improving the appetite and
restoring the general tone of the system, it
is confidently recommended to ladies id a
delicate situation.
The unrivalled and very extensive char
acter which this . medicine has enjoyed, for
the last six years, as a complete renovator,
and purifier of-the blood and humours both
in Hospital and Private Practice, is a sub
stantial basis for ite future support. It has
obtained its present great distinction by the
extraordinary success which has attendea
it in the lierdipgA:r • t,vvhile every avenue and
track have beep, searched in vain for its
parallel; indeed, ita dlscovery may be con
sidered one -of the moat- sacred boons that
can be afforded to 'the unfortunate; and I
most sincerely hope the sympathy of the
public will be excited to diffuse its iiivalua
6le merits. ,
There Are at this time several spurious
mixtures. in circulation abroad, and some
vended in this city, assuming to possess the
same, or equal virtues, of Pottet's Catholi
coq. It is to be hoped that the unsuspect
ing will bo placed on their guard against
such impositions, as much mischief has re
sulted from their use. They consist prin
cipally of sarsaparilla-sirops, viz. Sirop de
- . siner---or ? . _ ! • . .

At the request of Dr.—, I here give -a state
ment of the effect of Potter's Catholicon in the
restoration of my health. My constitution had
been in a declining state for more than eighteen
months. I was much troubled with a short dry
cough, slight difficulty of breathing, ; which was
much increased by bodily exercise. At night;
great oppression at the chest Was experienced,
with excessive colhquative swo(ds, - soreness and
pain in the sides and breast, withextrerne languor
and loss of appetite. In this situation, travelled
to the Now England, states' by-sea, but - obtained
