If cut fust after coming into bloom, it no doubt makes the most eatable hay ft stock, but gives leas weight per acre than if cut later, beaides the risk of destroying the vitality of the plants for succeeding crops. r-any cuuirg aiso renaers liable to be killed by.

drouth. If cut when fully ripe, it gives a much larger quantity of bay per acre, but hard and wiry, containing more condensed nutriment, and requiring to be cut. up fine to enable horses and other stock to eat it properly. If allowed to ripen, iis seed is a very exhaustible crop to the soil. The best time to cut Timothy would probably be as soon as the seeds are fully formed, but before they begin to ripen.

But aa it is the latest of grasses, and cornea to tbe proper state for. cutting just about the commencement of the wheat harvest, many farmers have either no patience to wait till then, or they put ofF mowing their Timothy till wheat is secured in either case greatly to their own injury. Now that mowing machines and horse rakes are becomiog plen-titul and cheap, the work of hay makiug can be expeditiously done, without interfering with other crops. Timothy, especially if grown by itself, and cut with amachine when nearly ripe, requires but little more to be done to make it into hay, iu this dry climate, than to be raked up in tbe evening and put into large cocks and carried to tbe barn next day, or os soon as convenient. If a few.

pounds of salt are thrown on each load as it is spread in the mow, all the acidity remaininiog in the hay will be corrected and fermentation prevented. If clover is mixed with the Timothy in a proportion not exceeding one-half, let the farmer wait till the latter is sufficiently mature; if the clover preponderates, the crop should be cut aa as soon the clover is ready. Timothy has tbe disadvantage of being but a slow grower, atter it has completed its maturity and commenced second growth which consistsot leaves only; consequently it gives but little aftermath. It is then very uutritious; it keeps its greenuess and vitality till late in the autumn, and may at that time be pastured by stock without injury to the plants. In our dry, hot climate, farmers generally leave their grass, after cutting, too long expobed" to tho sun, and it then becomes dried up, so that its best properties are evaporated.

It is a far better plan to cure tbe hay by putting it, in cocks tbe evening of the day it is cut, if the weathur is dry and the grass is mature, aud letting it remain so for a day or two, or until it can be drawn to the barn or stack at leisure, taking care that it is not left to be exposed to a passing shower, sh ould one be apprehended. criti a. iax i jcl CUHLEW COAL.

HO SET If ATTBBS. glnce the BaDka have made their aemi-annual atate-menta, and declared their dividends, there is a greater disposition on their part to discount good paper, and 4 months iiotea are being more freely taken ait 6: cent. Interest. The regalar customers and depositora of the different Banks, where they have payment! to make, can readily discount their Bills Receivable, at lsgal interest, to the'extent of the larger portion, if not all their payments, as they mature. The Banks are eager buyers of Time Bills, especially those maturing in the South, and any amount of Buoh, undoubted signatures, can be placed at 6 cent.

Interest and cent. month Exchange. We stated', some days since, on the authority of the President of the Bank of Kentucky, that the rates on 4 months' New Orleans Acceptances would be shortly reduced from Interest and 1 ent. Exchange to interest and cent. Exchange.

Since then we learn from the cashier of another Bank, that at a meeting held for the purpose of regulating the rates to be charged in future, the Bank of Kentucky was the only institution willing to reduce the rates on 4 months' Bills, all the other Banks insisting on the present charges being retained. The impress Ion prevails that, for some months, money will be extremely oaBy here, as he Banks in their semi annual reports. show Jarge reductions in their circulation and discount lines.

47,000 KILLED WOUNDED NAPOLEON COMMANDS IN PERSON. GEN. NEIL MADE A MARSHAL. ANOTHER BATTLE EXPECTED. New York, July S.

A despatch of the 25th of June from the Emperor to the Empress Eugenie, says that the enemy, withdrew last night, ana that he slept in the room occupied in the morning by the Emperor of Austria. General Neil has been appointed Marshal of The Austrian troops crossed the Mincio for the purnose of attacking the French with their whole force, but were obliged to abandon their position, and withdraw to the- left bank of the river after blowing up the bridges at Goito Tbe Emperor also says: We took 80 cannon and 7,000 prisoners. A private dispatch says that tbe Austrians, to the number of 35,000, were placed hors du combat, and lost 16 flags and 75 cannon. There bas been no circumstantial. accoant of the battle published at Paris.

Private dispatches intimate that the French army has suffered so severely as to be unable to resume tbe offensive. Vague rumors also put the French loss in killed and wounded at The battle was fought at Salferino. The AuBtrian.o are preparing for another great battle ander General Hess, wno has already displaced General Schliek a commander in-chief. The Emperor Napoleeb issued a stirring address to the army after the battle of Salferino. The Austrian dispatches acknowledge that they were obliged to retreat, after suffering extraordinary heavy losses.

The Emperor Napoleon was constantly in tbe hottest part of the battle, and Gen. Larry, who accompanied him, had his horse killed under him. Gen. Neil's corps covered themselves with glory. The Sardinians fought with great fury against superior numbers.

The Emperor of Austria is to return to Vienna on important business. The Paris correspondent of tbe London Times says that another battle is expected, and is, considered as inevitable before siege operations can commence. Large re inforcements are constantly leaving France. The attack on Venice was expected to commence on the 28th. Ore hundred and seventy-five thousand troops from the Austrian reserves were on their way to Italy.

They are called the flower of the Austrian army, every man having served upwards of eight years. Five French Generals were wounded at the battle of Salfeiino. It is rumored that an English fleet of 25 sail was arriving off Venice. The Gizette de France says that preparations are making to raise within two months, an army of 450,000 men. Great naval preparations were itoiDg on at Cherbourg.

A dispatch received at Paris from Cariania on the 25th ult says that the French troops passed the Mincio without interruption, the enemy haviog withdrawn therefrom. On tbe 2oth Prussia made a proposal to the Federal Diet to place an ai my of observation on i he Rhine, under the superior orders of Bavaria. The proposal was referred to the Military Commit tee. It was reported that the Emperor of Austria would soon have au interview with the Prince Begent of Prussia. The English news is unimportant.

The Atlantic Telegraph company has issued proposals for subscriptions to the new capital of The following telegram, with what has been sent, contains all that is known in regard to the great battle of the 24th of June. The loss of tbe enemy is very considerable, but ours is much less. We have taken 30 cannon, more than 7,000 prisoners and three flags. The Sardinian armv inflicted great loss on the enemy, after having contended successfully with great fury against superior forces. The following is the order of tbe day published by the Emperor Napoleon after the battle: Salfbhino, Cariana, June 25 Soldiers: The enemy who believed themseles able to repulse us from tbe Chiese have re crossed the Mincio.

You have worthily defended the honor of France. Salferino surpassed the recollections of Sonoto and Castiglione. In twelve hours you have repulsed the efforts of 15,000 men. Your enthusiasm did not rest there. The numerous artillery of the enemy occupied formidable positions for over three leagues, which you carried.

Your country thanks you for your courage and perseverance, and laments the fallen. We have taken 3 flags, 30 cannon and 6,000 prisoners. Tbe Sardinian aimy (ought with the same valor against superior forces, and worthy is that army to march beside you. Your blood has Dot been shed in vain for the glory of France and the happiness of the people. The following is the Austrian official account of the battle: "Vbbona, June 25.

"The day before yesterday, our right wing occupied Pozaolenza, Salferino, and Cavican, and the left wing progressed as far as Guiduzello and (Jaacioffiedo, but were driven back by the enemy. A. collision took place between the two entire armies. At 10 A. M.

yesterday, our left, under General Wimpen, advanced as far as Chiese. In the atternoon there was a concentrated assault on the heroically defended town of Salferino. Oar right wing repulsed the Piedmontese, but on the other hand, the order of our center could not be restored, and our losses are extraordinarily heavy. The development of powerful masses of the enemy against our left wing, and the advance of his main body against Volta, caused our retreat, which began late in the evening. Vienna, June 25.

Austrian correspondence contains tbe following The day before yesterday the Austrian army crossed the Mincio at four points, and yesterday came upon tbe superior force of the enemy at Chiese. After an obstinate combat of 12 hours, our army withdrew across the Mincio. Our headquarters are now at Villa Franca. The London Times says the Austrians have most candidly admitted their defeat, and that history scarely records a bulletin in which such a disaster is more explicitly avowed. The Moniteur says that the battle will take the name of the battle of Salferino.

OlGcial Austrian correspondence of the 27th of June contains the following The Emperor of Austria will soon return to Vienna on account of important business. The command-in-chief of the army which is preparing for battle, is given to General Hess. Prince Napoleon arrived at Parma on the 25th, and was received with enthusiasm. Forty thousand men were embarking in Algeria for the Adriatic, and at Paris news was expected of the occupation of Venice by the French. A dispatch from Berne says that 8,000 Piedmontese with 750 volunteers had arrived at Ter-ans, and advanced towards Bormio at ihe foot of the Stelvia pass.

Patriotic demonstrations by the working classes in Paris, were universal. Some re-infoiements Tor the French army were constantly quitting France for Italy. A dispatch from Vienna says that the attack of the French upon Venice and Tagliamento, about 4.5 miles northeast of Venice, was expected to take place on tbe 28th of June. The Austrians have sunk five small vessels, a large frigate and three steamers in the Dort of Mafamoccio to prevent the passage of the French squadron. Prince Eugene of Savoy had issued a decree extending the forced currency of the National Bank.

Latest Paris, Tuesday. Generals Anyer, Forey, Dien, and Ladmoiault were wounded slightly at Salferino. There will be a deum next Sunday in all tbe churches of France in celebration of the victory. The Emperor and all the great bodies of State will attend at Notre Dame. Turin, Tuesday.

An official bulletin to-day contains some details of the battle of the 2-lth. Those engaged at Sao Martino performed prodigies of valor, and took formidable positions, but coma oosnoia taem, owing to a reartul tempest. The Piedmontese drove the Austrians from San Martino, retaining three of their cannon. Seri ous loss is admitted. The Sardinian Ambassador at Paris is reported to have complained to the Enffltsh Government ugainst the Secretary of the British Embassy at Paris for anti-Sardinian manifestations.

It is stated that in consequence of but iew reiniorcements having been sent to India for several months, the authorities had determined on sending nearly 5,000 cavalry and inlautry troops. The Prince of Wales had returned to Englaod. The Atlantic Telegraph Company had issued their prospectus inviting subscriptions to the new capital of 600,000, on the terms already made public. The Directors pledge themselves to enter into a contract without seeking tbe advice of the highest scientific and practical authorities of England and America. The first operatives are to endeavor to raise the old cable.

A deputyjrom Canada had waited upon Queen Victoria to invite her to be present at the opening of the great Victoria bridge next year. Tbe election of members of Parliament to fill tbe seats vacated by those who have accepted otfice in tbe new Ministry, were generally resulting in the return of Government candidates.

The SubmarL Compuny have successfully laid a new cable containing conducting wires, between Folkestine and J3.

S. Mail Line, for damages, has been submitted to arbitration, as we stat-td in the Courier. The parties left here Tuesday on the mailboat for Madison, and returned yesterday morning.

Hart, Ma pother iitbrographers of this city, were applied to, and they at once dispatched a first rate artist to the boat to make a life-like sketch. From that sketch the lithograph was finally made, and now the picture is complete, and we at once pronounce it a master piece of art, the exact counterpart of the boat, in all its peculiarities and proportions. Until lately it has been almost a matter of impossibility to get a correct representation of one of our western steamers, either on canvas, paper, or plate, but the skill of Hart, Mapother Co. has surmounted all fficulties, and the lithograph of the tenner is complete, and a perlect picture, equal in beauty and delineation to the splendid oil painting recently executed by a distinguished artiBt, with this advantage 500 copies of the lithograph cost no more than the single oil painting.

With" light' meadows, and a partial failure of the oat crop, it will behoove farmers who have the winter comfort and thrift of their stock at heart, to look about for something, which may yet be grown, to make up the now certain defi ciency. On land, in good tilth, and fully ready for the seed, Hungarian grass may yet be put in with a fair prospect of a good yield. Tur nips will be in season any time within the next fortnight.

Winter cabbage, on highly manured land, may be grown for stock, but hardly as an economical article of food. Corn fodder may be put in now, or any time within the next ten days, and with favorable weather will be quite sure to yield a large These are some of the articles with which a few acres may always be ad vantageously covered, after it is clearly apparent that hay and oats are to be light. We have grown corn-fodder broad cast, in hills three feet frem each other, (eight or ten stalks in each,) and in drills four feet apart; and of the several methods, the last named has our preference. Prepare tbe ground well, run tbe drills as nearly north and south as convenient, furrowing out with a one-horse plow give a liberal dressing of compost in the drill, if the land is not rich, and sow about as thickly as you sow peas in garden. Work with harrow first, then with plow, and afterwards with cultivator.

Cut about the time the ear-shoots begin to show silk an inch long sooner if there is danger of frost. A strong cradle is the best implement to do this with. Cure in swath from twenty to thirty hours. Bind in sheaves about the thickness of large wheat sheaves. Shock in the field, twelve or fifteen aheaves to the shock, and haul in through the winter as required for use.

This is the plan which our own experience sanctions. By pursuing other plans we have several times burnt our fingers, and lost much good fodder. Winter cabbage is now just in time. A variety called "flat Dutch" is much liked by some. The old English "Drum-head" maintains its place, or nearly so.

Perhaps the beBl of all is the "Drumhead Savoy." Make your ground very rich and very mellow. In, setting out, leave room enough for ''expansion" for winter cabbage, like summer criuoline, sometimes doesn't know where to stop. Most good gardeners set out plants in straight rows. Some, especially in Iiew England, prepare rich hills about four feet apart, and get large crops by dropping three seeds in a hill. Cabbage should be frequently hoed while young, and mellow earth drawn up around the stem which is thus supported, encouraged in its growth, and enabled to bear tbe heavy burthen that will soon rest upon it.

For man or beast, when it heads well, it is a vegetable "hard to beat." The old rule is a good ODe to sow turnips upon the first shower after the middle ot July. Some sow as early as the 10th, others as late as the 20th and 25th. When the weather is favorable about the 1st of August, should you not have gotten a good stand before, you may bow then with a good prospect of success. Many varieties are grown in different sections of the country, not a few ot which have been introduced from Europe through the Patent Office. In this latitude, the purple top and flat Dutch are about the best.

Hungarian grass is a great crop for late culture out Northwest. In Iowa especially, where it is sown after the wheat harvest is over, and some times upon the ground from which a crop of oats has just been taken, it now and tben "works won ders." Fonr, six, eight tons to the acre, of cured hay, are among tbe marvels reported of it in that section. In the Ohio Valley it is comparatively untried as yet. It may be well for small farmers to put in an acre or two of it, even yet, partly to see how it will answer here, and partly to supply themselves with seed for next year. A bushel of the seed will sow two acres of good land.

TIOTOTHV GRASS. Thb Best Time fob Cuttino. This grass PhUum pratsnse,) so universally known and highly valued by American agriculturists waa originally introduced into tho country by Timothy Hanson, of Maryland, from whom it derives its name. It is known as catstail in England, and herdsgrass in the New England States. It is also a favorite grass in Sweden, where it is extensively cuhivtaed.

It is a perennial bulbous-rooted plant-the leaves are broader than those of most other grasses, and rough, with long sheaths. In the early stages of its growth, it resembles a diminutive plant of Indian corn; stalk long sand jointed, surmounted when mature, by a long hairy spike-let, containing the seed. The first year after sowing the seed, the young plants consist of single bulbs, scattered over the surface of the ground at considerable intervals, and rarely blossoming. In the spring of the second year, the plant throws out a number of new bulbs in a simile-r manner to the potato onion. These blossom and produce seed, but very unequally.

Each succeeding plant throws out others the following spring, till after three or four years the original single bulb is surrouoded by a large circular stool of plants seveeral inches in diameter. We counted seventy-six bulbs in one stool, supposed to be three years from the seed. The plants at this age are in their prime, and produce the heaviest crops of hay. Two years after the plant has thrown out the new bulbs and given them a fair start, it shrinks up and dies, the bulb still remaining in the stool, but becoming hard and horny. If, during the stages ot its growth in the spring while the new bulbs is forming, the plant is cut or eaten close by animals, the bulb either dies or carries on a struggling existenece through the summer, the young bulbs are not properly developed, and the vital powers of the whole stool of plants become so exhausted that the dry weather of autumn or the frosts of winter soon kill them.

Asa meadow grass to cut for hay, Timothy is unsurpassed by any other grass now cultivated. It possesses a large amount of nutritious matter, in comparison with other natural grasses. It has been a general practice among farmers to grow timothy along with clover, but the practice is now being discontinued except vrhere the large or late variety can be obtained. Considerable discussion has been going on of late, among agriculturists as to tbe proper time for cutting timothy for hay. Most farmers prefer to cut it when it is full blown, and say that it is sweeter and contains more nourishment at this time.

Others again, believe that if the mowing is perurmeo. neiora me seed is luiiy aeveiopea, ttii plant win run out trom a failure to re-seea tni ground. Br. Kiitland, of Cleveland, Ohio, states that an intelligent nraetical farmer of bis neitrb borhood, Mr. Richard McCrary.

after many care ful observations on the growth of Timothy, has ar nvea at tne following propositions wmcn ne lustrates with specimens: 1. Timothy grass is a perennial plant which re news itself by an annual formation ofbulbs," or perhaps, more correctly speaking, tubers, in wbich all the vitality of tbe plant is concentrated during iiikci ucac iuiui, iu VYUUievei locality tue piuu is found, without reference to the dryness orinois' hire. From these proceed the stalks which sud port the leaves and head, and from the same source spread out the numerous fibres forming the true roots. 2. To insure a perfect development of these tu bers.

acertain amount of nutrition must be assim- ulated in the leaves, and returned to the base of the plant through the stalk. 3. As soon as this process of nutrition is com pie ted, it becomes manifest by the appearance astate ofdessication, or drvness, always com men cing above either the first or second joint of the 8tem, near the crown of stem, near tne crown ot tne tuner, from tbis Doint the dessication gradually progresses ud ward, and the last portion of the stalk that yields up its freshness is that adjoining the bead. Co incident with the beginning of this process, the full development of tbe seed, and with its pro gress mey maiure. us earnest appearance evidence that both the tubers and seeds have re ceived the requisite supplies of nutrition, and that neither the stalks nor the leaves are longer necessary to aid them in completing their maturity.

4. If the stalk be cut from the tuber before this evidence of matuntv has appeared, the necessary supplies of nutiition will be arrested; their proper crrowia win cease, ana an enon wm ua mouo iu rnair tho iniurv hv BRndmcr out small lateral tu bers, from which weak and unhealthy Btalks will proceed, at the expense of the original tuners. All will ultimately perish, either by the drouth of autumn, or the cold of winter. 5. The tubers, together with one or two of the lower jointB of the stalks, remain fresh ana green during the winter, if left to take their natural course, but, if by any means this green portion be severed at any time of the year, the result will be the death of the plant.

From these five propositions the following con clusions are drawn 1. That Timothy grass cannot, under any circumstances, be adapted for pasture, as the close nipping of horses sod sheep is fatal to tbe tubers, wnicn are extensively aeswoyea oy swine. 2. That the proper period for mowing Timothy is at any time after the process of dessication has commenced on the stalk, as noticed in proposition third. It is not very essential whether it is performed a week earlier or later, provided that evidence of maturity has bocome manifest.

2. Ail attempts at close shaving the sward should be avoided while using the scythe, and in gauging mowing machines, care should be taken to set them to run io high that they will not out tne Timomy oeiow me second joint above the tuber. Any farmer can satisfy himself as to the cor- From the Buffalo Rerub'Ic. Private letters of Louis Napoleon to His Mother Hortensa, "While an American Jbxile.

At these mormnts I am doubtful which are the most melancholy recol lectio as, those of misfortunes which have befallen us, or those relatiog to happy times which exist no longer. We have now got through the winter, and are again surrounded by summer weatner; steady breezes have succeeded to the tempestuous weather uf the earlier part of our voagc, and the coDseqoence is, I rm abled to remain the greater part of the time upon deck, where, seated upon the poop, I indulge iu reflections upon all that has happened to me, and think up-ju juu, and about all Arenemberg. The situations in which we are placed depend for their effeot upon the feelings which we bring to bear upon them. Two months ago I wished for nothing except never to behold Switzerland again; now, if 1 were to follow my own inclinations, I should have no other widh than to find myselt again in my little chamber io the midst of that fine country, in which I fancy I ought to be so Happy Alas when one has a soul which feels deeply, one is destined to pass one's days oppressed with the sense of inactivity, or in the struggles of painful situations." When some months ago I went to bring home Matilda, on re-enteriug the park I found a tree which had been blown down by the tempest, and I said to myself, our marriage will be broken off by fate. That which vaugely guessed at has be-oome realized; have I then, now in 1836, exhausted all the happiness which was destined for me "Do not accuse me of weakness, if I allow myself to give you an account of all my impressions.

Our feelings, moreover, are not sufficiently independent of internal causes that our ideas should not be always modified according to the objects which surround as. The brightness of the sunshine, even the direction of the wind, has a great intluence upoQ our condition; when it is beautiful weather, as now to day; when tbeseais aB smooth as Lake Constance; and when, walking the deck at evening, the moon illumines us with its delicate blue rays; when the atmosphere, in short, is aa mild as the month of August iu Europe; theu I am more sad than usual; all the reminiscences of my life, cheerful or sorrowful, come fully with the name weight upon my bosom; the smiling weather dilates the heart and readers it more susceptible, whilst on the other hand bad weather hardens it. One's passions alone are superior to the severities of the seasons. When we were leaving the barrack d'Austerlize a snow storm broke over us; Col.

jId the morning the officers came in a body to wish me a happy new year, and I was touched with this mark of attention on their part. At half-past four we went to dinner. As we were 17 degrees of longitude west of Constance, it was then 7 o'clock at Arenemberg. You were then also probably at dinner. I drank to your health; you, perhaps, did the same by me; at least, I took pleasure at the time in thinking so.

I also thought of my companions in misfortune; alas I am always thinking of them. I thought that they were more happy than myself; and this idea made me much more unhappy than they could be.

One ot the masts was broken; the rain came down so impetuously that me watt ueaieu up iuuui. iu uay me say is as blight as usual, all mishaps have been re paired, and the storm is forgotten. Oh that it were so also with the troubles of life.

Talking of projects: toe captain tola me mac tne trigate which was once named after you is now in the South, and is called the "Flora." January 10. "We have just arrived at Rio Janeiro. The oevpd'otil from the roads is superb; to morrow I will make a bketch of it. I hope that ibis letter may reach you soon. Do not think of coming to meet me.

I do not at present koow where I shall tuke up my abode; perhaps I shall find better opportunities ot obtaining a livelihood in oouih-" "eru America. Labor, to wbich the uncertaintv ol my circumstances will now subject me, in order to attain a position, will afford the only coDsoia-tion which I can now enjoy. Adieu, mother; remember me to our old servants, and to our friends in Thurgovia and Constance. "I am well i i health, "Your affectionate and respective son, "Napoleon louis bonaparte." Having arrived in New York, he gave up all tbouhtsof returning to the Old World, aod was on tot eve of starting the interior of the States, where he intended to settle down and work himself out a new position by his labor, when the toilowing letter from his mother called' him buck to Europe, where he arrived barely in time to attend her death bed and receive her btewio: Mr Dkaii Son: "lam about to undergo an operatum which has beCume absolutely necessary. Id case it should not terminatb sucesaful-ly, i send you, iu this letter, my blessing.

We shall meet again shall we not? in a better world, where you may come to join me as late as possible and you will believe that iB quitting this world, I regret only leaving yourself and your fond, effeotionate disposition, which aloDe has giveu any charm to my existence. This will be a consolation for i ou, my dear boy, to reflect that, by your attentions, you have rendered your mother as happy as circumstances could allow her; you will tnink, also, of all my affection for you, and this will inspire you with courage. Thiok this, that we shall always have a benevolent and clear sighted-feeling for all that passes in this world below, and that, assuredly, we shall all meet again. Reflect upon this consolatory idea; it is one which is too necessary not to be true. And that good Arese, I send bim my blessing, as to my son.

I press you to mv heart, my dear boy. I am calm, perfectly re'signed; and would still hope that we may meet again, even io this world. The will of God be done. Your affectionate mother, "HOBTEK3E." "3d April, 1887." Hortense, the unhappy daughter ot Josephene, expired on the 5th of 1837. The following is the oonclusion of her will, executed on the 3a of April, 1837: "I wish that my husband may erect some memorial to my memory, and that he should know that my greatest regret was that I could not render him happy.

I have no political advice to give to my son; I know that he is aware of his position, and all the duties which his name imposes upon him. I forgive all sovereigns with whom I have had relations of friendship the levity of their judgments upon me, 1 forgive all the ministers and charges d' affairs of States, for the falsi ty of the reports which they constantly circulated about me. I forgive certain Frenchmen, to whom I have had opportunities of being of use the calumnies with which they have loaded me by way of requital. I forgive them who have believed these statements without investigating them, and I hope to survive for a little while the memory of my fellow-countrymen. I thank all those who are around me, as also my servants, for their attentions, and I hope they will not forget my memory." Mound.
