^"**V TO  THE
■VowfouBdland Vindicator.
",**--, on this day, present to thc Public a new
Weekly Journal, established for thc advocacy
of Popular Rights, for the assertion of Constitutional Liberty, and for the promotion of thi
general interests, of Newfoundland ;—and, on
such an occasion, we deem it our duty briefly lo
stale thc principles on which it is our earnest
desire and "sincere intention that it -shall be conducted.
In the first place, it shall be a fixed principle
with us tolceep our columns perfectly free from
nil personal rcvilings, and from those improper
cotilmcntaries on the private life find personal
character of individuals, however opposed to uf
in Religious or Political views,—which, in ou
opinion, are derogatory to n respectable Journal,
and thc tendency of which, is only to embarras-
nnd impede thc cause for the supposed promotion of which they are usedi \Vith this strict
understanding, our columns shall be open to
all who feel an interest in tho well-being of the
people of Newfoundland, but we shall reserve
to ourseirauiai;n.-iiuii!iry power io give or withhold thc communications of anonymous Correspondents.
But, thus deprecating thc slightest wish to
deal in personalities while canvassing political
subjects, we shall never shrink from dnuntlessly
exposing every abuse with a view to its removal, nor denouncing the public delinquencies of
those who would make high station and Official
position the pretext for oppression.
We shall zealously aspire to'the character of
being a Reflector of the public mind—honestly
and impartially, but with freedom, representing
public opinion on passing events—wc shall Watch
over thc Franchise andRepresentation—Advocate the Commerce, the. Fisheries ond tho Agriculture of Newfoundland—Vindicate thc character of the people and teach them the peaceful
way that leads to libertyr In fine, where oppression is, there shall we be found to support
the oppressed—and where injustice is, there
ahall wc be ready to protect ttie'injuredi
Wc shall occasionally endeavour to hiv before our Readers, reports ofthe proceedings in
th$ Superior Courts nnd Courts of Session,
whenever nriy"«ase of tnore than ordinary inter*
est occurs before them ; and also, shall we try(
during the Session of the Legislature, l■ ■ ■ i ve
an abstract ofthe discussions on questions <,i"
importance. Nor shall we, in our zeal tp promote the political interests of Newfoundland
forget, that in no country has Christianity strong
er claims upon the public Journalist than ir
this, and therefore, we shall tie foremost to np.
' hold tbe Religion, nnd defend the Priesthood of
the people, and shall give thc general Ecclesiastical intelligence of thc Island.
With these views wC beg leave to invite every
lover of Religion, Liberty and the Laws, to lend
their co-operation, tn our hands, our literary
Contributors can calculate on perfect secrecy,
because in all cases, contributions shall go into
the Printing Office in our own hand writing, for
wc arc aware that many are influenced by fno-
tives of modesty, to withhold the emanation of
well-regulated minds, cultivated understandings, and Patriotic hearts, throughfearof having
their names made public.
Before we close, we beg leave to return Our
heartfelt thanks to our numerous subscribers,
' and paificularly the number of humble Art'zona
and hon#at Fishermen, who have strongly tos*
tified a WW. to support a frce press, by forming
small associations to take the paper, when their
individual means were not sufficient.
Literary Contribntions and orders left at Mr.
Dillon's, at Mr. Simon Morris's at Mr. O'Mnra's,
or at the Vindicator Office, near King's Bridge,
will be promptly attended to, andl the names and
subscriptions of persons wishing to becohre
Subscribers,-—will be taken at the same piacos.

ARRIVAL OF NAPOLEON'S REMAINS IN
FRANCE.
The Belle Poulc frigate, commanded  by tho
Prince de Joinvile,  and  whicli  has brought
back to France the remains  of the  Emperor   ,
Napoleon, came,to nrichor'ai Cherbourg on the
30th nit., at five in the morning.    "
The following is the report of his Royal
Highness lo the Minister of Marine :—
" .Monsieur lc Ministre—As 1 had the honour
-f informing you, I quitted All Saints Bay oh
September j 1th, running along the coast ofBra-
-*il, with lhe wind nt east, but which having
eered to the north nnd north east, enabled me
quietly to get into lhc meridian of St Helena
without having to pass the 2*ith southpararllel.
On entering this tneridian I was delayed by
calms and light brccrcs.    On October 8 I came
ah anchor in James Town roads.*
" Thc brig Oreste, detached by Vice-Admi-'
ral de Macau to bring to thc Belle Potile a pilot
from the Channel, had arrived the day bofore-
As this ship^brought me no new, instruct ions, I
immediately occupied myself in executing tho
Orders I had originally received
My first enre was to put M. de Chnboi, the
King's commissioner, in communication with
General Middlemore, Governor of thc island.
These gentlemen having settled, according to
their instnietions, the manner of proceeding to
the exlfiimfttion ofthe remains ofthe Emperor
Napoleon, nnd their trannlation on board the
Belle Poulc, the I5th of Oct. was fixed for the
execution of their plans.
"The Governor charged hinn-clf with the exhumation, and all that was to take place within
the British territory. I, by thc order of Oct.
13, a copy of which I hereto annex, regulated
the honours to be paid on thc 15th nnd lGthby
thc division undei-my command; Thc French
merchant ships, the Sonne Amic, Cnpt. Gallet,
and Inbian, Capl.Truquelit, eagerly rendered
their assistance.
At midnight, on the ""-th the operation commenced in the presence ofthe French and English Commissioners, M. de Chabot and Captain
Alexander ofthe Royal Engineers; the works
were directed by thc latter. . As M. de Chabot
renders to the Government a circumstantial sc-
mt ofthe operations to which he was a witness, I conceive that I am dispensed from entering into the same details, and shall content
myself with saying that at ten in the morning
thc colli*-- was found in the grave- After having
raised itintact, it was opened, nnd the body
was found in an nnhoped-for state of preservation. A* this solemn moment, at the sight of
the easily-recognized remains of him trho had
done so much for the glory of Fiance, the emotion was deep and unanimous.
