The coffin was let down to the bottom of the grave; the flanks were removed from the heaped-up brink ; the first rattling; clods had et’fick their knell; the quick sho- T.-llmg was over, and the long, broad, skilfully cut pieces of turf Wore aptly jointed together, and ts mly laid by the beating spade, so that the newest mound in the church-yard was scarcely , distin guished from those that were grow n over hy the undisturbed grass and daisies of a luxuriant spring.—The burial was soon over —and the par ty, with one consenting motion, having uncovered their heads in decent reverence of the place and occasion, were beginning to sepe rate, and about to leave the church yard. Here some acquaintances, from distant parts of the pai ish. who had not had an opportunity of ad dressing each other in the house that belonged to the deceased, nor in the course of the few hundred yards that the little procession had to move over from his bed to his grave, were shaking hands quietly but cheerfully, and inquiring after the welfare oVearh other’s families. There, a small knot of neighbours were speaking, without exaggera tion, of the respectable character which the deceased had borne, and mentioned to one another little inci dents of his life, some of them so femole as to he known only to the g ey-headed persons of the groupe. While a few yards further removed fnun the spot, were standing to gether, parties who discussed ordi nary concerns, altogether, uncon nected with the funeral, such as the state of markets, the promise of the season, or change of tenants ; but still with a sobriety of manner and Voice, that was i .sensibly produced by the influence of the simple cere Aony now closed, by the quiet graves arc urn 1 , and the shadows of the spire aud grey walls of the feoule of God* ! Two me# yet stood together at the head of he grave, with coun tenances of*mcere but impassioned grief. They were brothers, the only sons of him who had been bu tied; and there was something in 1 tbeir situation that naturally kept: the eyes of many directed upon them, for a longer time, and more intently, than would have been the case, had there been nothing more observable about them, than the common symptoms of common sor row. But these two Brothers who were now standing at the head of their father’s grave had for some | years been totally estranged from each other; and the only words: that had passed between them dur-! ing all that time, had been uttered 1 within a few days past, during the I necessary preparation of the old man's funeral. , No deep and deadly quarrel was, ‘ between these Brothers, and nei j - ther of them could distinctly tell the cause of this unnatural estrangement. ■) Perhaps dim jealousies of tbeir i | father’s favour—selliwh thoughts [ i that will sometimes force themselves j -jinto poor men’s hearts, respecting! temporal cxpectatiuns-unaccommo-1 J daliog manners on both sides—taunt-. i : mg w ords that mean little when ut r tered, hut will rankle and fester | to remembrance —imagined opp >si , (ion of interests, that duly consider ed, would have been found one and ! the same—these, and many Other causes, slight when single, hut strong when risen up together la one baneful band, had gradually bot but fatally infected their hearts, till at last, they who in youth had been seldom separate, and truly attached now met at market, and, miserable to say, at church, with dark and averted faces, like different clans men during a feud. Surely, if any thing could have softened their hearts towards each other, it must have been to staod silently side hy side, while the earth, stones, and clods, were falling down upon their lathei's coffin. And doubtless their hearts were so sof tened. But pride, though it cannot prevent the holy affections of nn tore from being felt, may prevent them from being shown ; and these two Brothers'stood there together, determined not to let each other know the mutual tenderness that, in spite of them, was gushing up in their hearts, and teaching them the unconfessed lolly and wickedness of their causeless quarrel. A headstone had been prepared, and a person came forward to plant it. The elder Brother directed him how to place it —a plain stone, with a sand glass, skull and cross-bones, chiselled not rudely, and a few words inscribed The younger Brother regarded theoperation with u troubled eye, and said loudly enough to be heard by several of the bystanders, “ William, this was not kind in you -you should have told me of this. —I loved my father a# well as you could love him. You were the elder, and it may he the favourite sou; hut I hail a light in nature to have joined you in order ing this head stone—had 1 not ?” ’ During these words, the stone ’ was sinking in the earth, and many J persons who were on their way from the grave, returned. For a while, the elder Brother said no-' !, thing, for he had a consciousness in his heart, that he ought to have con sulted his father’s son in designing this last becoming maik of affection and respect to his memory : so the stone was planted in silence, and now stood erect, decently and sim ply, among the other unostentatious memorials of the humble dead. The inscription merely gave the name and age of the deceased, and 1 told that the stone had been erected “by his affectionate sons.” The sight of these words seemed to soft en the displeasure of the angry man, , and he said some what more mildly, “Yes, we were his affectionate sons, and since my name is on the . stone, lam s itislied, Brother. We I have not drawn together kindly of | late years, and perhaps never may ; j but I acknowledge and respect your worth ; and here, before our own . friends, and before the friends ofj our father, with my foot above his head, I express my willingness to he on better and other terms with you ; and if we cannot command love in our hearts, let us, at least. Brother, bar out all unkindness.” The minister who had attended the funeral and had something en trusted to him to say publicly be fore he left the church-yard, now came forward, amt asked the elder Brother, why he spake not regard ing this matter. He saw that theie 1 was something of a cold and sullen ' | p"ide rising up in his heart ; for not : easily may any roan hope to dismiss j I from ‘he chamber o( his heart even I the v.'est guest, if once cherished there-—With a solemn and almost t severe air, lie looked upon the re- I lenting man, and then changing his s countenance into serenity, said gent- Behold, bow pod • thing it u, \ And how (learning weU, Together such is hretheru are, ' In unity to drell! The time, t'ae place, and this ] beautiful expression of a natural ; sentiment quiteovercome a heart in j which many kind if not warm affec- ( tions dwelt; and the man thus ap- ( pealed to, bowed dpwn his head and ( wept. “ Gi»e me your hand, s Brother”— and it was given, while \ a murmur of satnfaction arose from all present, and ill hearts felt kind- t lier and more jutuanely towards $ each other. t 1 As the Brothels stood fervently, i but composedly grasping each o i tber's hands in til* little hollow that < lay between the jrave of their mo- I ther, long since lead, and of their i I father, whose ihroud was haply I not still from the dust to dost, the ( I minister stood btside them with a | j pleasant countenance, and said,* 1 i i i must fulfil the proaiise 1 made to < ■ your father on his death bed. 1 ! must read to you a few w ords which ( I his hand wrote at an hour, when ; his tongue denied its office. 1 must ; not say that yon did your duly to ; your old father ; for did he not often I beseech yon, apart from one ano ther, tobe reconciled for your own I sakes as Christians, for his sake, and j for t!ie sake <>llhe mother who bare i you, and Stephen, who died that you might be bon ! when the palsy struck him fur the last time, you were both absent, nor was it your fault that you were not beside the old man w lien he died.

But of this no more. lie died with this paper in his hand : and lie made fne know that 1 was to read it to yo>| over his grave. I now obey him. “My Bons,| if you would let my hones lie quirt in the grave, near the dust of your mother, depart not from my huriil, till, in the name of God and Ciirht, you promise to love one another as you used to do. Dear hoys receive my blessing.” Some turned their heads away to hide the tears that needed not to be hidden ; and when the brothers had released each other from a long and sobbing milliner, many went up to them, and in n single word or two, expressed their py at this perfect reconcilement. I he Brothers them selves walk'd away from the church yard, arm in arm with the minister, to the manse. On (he following Sabbath, they were seen sitting with theii families in the same pew, and it w as observed, that they read together off the same Bi ble, when the minister gave out the text, and that they sang together, ta king hold of the same psalm-book. — The same psalm was sung.(given out at their own request,)of which one verso had been repeated at their fa ther’s grave. A larger sum than usual was on that Sabbath found in the plate for the poor , for Love and Charity are sisters. And ever after, both during the peace and the troubles of this life, the hearts of the Brothers wero as one, and in nothing were they divided. s- FROM THE RICHMOND ENQUIRER. The Greeks, Wc have been favored with the follow ing cstrai t of a letter from an ollV’cr on board the Constitute r. It presents a ful ler account of the condition of the Greek*, their army, navy, ( ecu a y lesources, possessions, ,kc. than any we recollect to have seen ; and it may be relied on as authentic, since the writer’s situation en abled him to ho thoroughly informed of the facts which he desi rihes: U. S. SHIP CONSTITUTION, GIBRALTAR BAV, AUG. 1, 182?. “ 1 wrote you in May from Leg horn ; since which lime we have heen to Naples, Messina, up the Archipelago as far as Smyrna, &.c.— When at Naples, 1 visited all the places worthy of note, and was much pleased ; but had 1 been a classical scholar,! think it would have been difficult to have torn me away from Virgil’s tomb, Bain, I’ompeii, &«;. I shall not attempt to give yon a description of these places because ! 1 know 1 should fail, but will refer you to Lady Morgan's Italy ; a work, which so fir as my observa tions have gone, is more correct than any I have read. Eustace is more minute and probably to the antiquarian more interesting ; hut, as 1 have no pretensions that way, I was much moie pleased with Lady Morgan’s descriptions than his. Mount Vesuvius was very quiet, whilst we were at Naples ; but we had a fine viow ofStromboli on our passage to Messina, whose volcano was very active. We were becalm ed and remained near it several nights, and could distinctly see the lava running down the mountains, we remained only a few days at ! Messina, and of course had not time to make excurtions into the coun try or to vim; Mount JEtn.i, it threw out no flames, and the country around it appeared, at the distance we were irom it, to be fertile and well cultivated. “ We sailed from Messina on the Hth of J une, entered the Archipel ago on the 15th, and on Sunday, the 16th, being off the Island ofCandia, (Crete,) heard a very heavy firing for several hours. The next day we were informed, that the 1 urkish squadron from Alexandria, joined with the squadrons from Tripoli, Tunis, and Algiers, had made an at tack on the Greeks, (who were be sieging a castle held in that Island by the Turks,) for the purpose of raising thesiege ; that they had been repulsed ; And those who had land ed compelled to re-embark. We heard, as we passed there on our return July 4th, that another attack had been made with the same suc cess, and that the Greek squadron from the Island of Idera (Hydra) was washing their motions. We should have touched there, but heard of their having the plague. On the 19th of June, after slopping at Milo (Melos) to get a pilot, being of the Island ofScio (Chio.) and in the passage between that island and the main land ; at 2 o’clock in the morning saw a great light and in half an hour afterwards witnessed an ex plosion of great magnitude. The next day we were informed by ao Austrian vessel, that the Greeks had sent in tw< nre ships, and that one of them had succeeded in blow ing up the captain Pacha’s ship of 74 guns, and that the other would have blown up the ship of the se cond in command, bad lie not have cut Ins cables and put to sea- The w hole squadron followed his exam pie and were thrown into the great est confusion. The Greeks who had leftlhe fine ships in their small boats, taking advantage of this con fusion, boarded and carried off one of their brigs of war, and we after wards saw her in the island of Ip serva, a prize. In a short time this report was confirmed by the dead bodies and parts of the ship floating past us ; out of a crew con sisting of two thousand souls, all perished with the exception of three hundred. An American vessel from Boston, that happened to be near, picked up the Admiral’s first Lieu tenant and cne seaman, who had got on a spur, and put them on board the second in command, who had just h listed his flag as admiral. “ It was thought at Smyrna that all the captains on their returfi to Constantinople would lose their heads for suffering the admiral to be blown up. We were near the Turkish squadron for two days ; but they appeared to have no wish to speak to us, (probably the idea oj fire i ships still hunted their imagi nations) and, as we had nothing to do with them, we passed up to Smyrna without having any communication. It consisted of 5 ships ofthe line, six frigates, six corvettes or sloops ol war, and twenty-two smaller ves sels ; and yet strange to tell ! they suffer Hie Greeks to cruise within a few miles of them, and very often to molest and harass them greatly The Greeks have three naval de pots ; viz. Ipserva or Fsyra, Idera or Hydra, and Specia or Tipareni us islands that produce very little ; and they are compelled to get sup plies from the Morea.—They have at each of those islands about 30 armed vessels ; the largest only 1(5 guns, and Hie most of them mounting only one or two. They have no fortifications of any consequence, and yet the Turks never think of attacking them ; blit on the contra ry. suffer themselves to be blockad ed frequently, and never stir out ol port without having the Greeks at their heels. “ We anchored of Smyrna on the 22d, and left there the 25th : we went on shore only once, and then in that part of the town occupied by the Greeks and Turks : it was not considered safe to go into Turk town, as they were very much ex cited at the loss of the Capatan Pa cha, and nothing prevented their massacreing the Greeks, but the presence of the French, Dutch, English, and Austrian squadrons.— They were not much pleased at our going into their port, and I be lieve, did not like our being so near the admiral's ship when she blew up. That part of Smyrna that we saw was confined, dirty, and every thing about it disgusting. It is de fended by a Small fort, that our ship could have hammered down in 15 minutes. The day we got out of the gulf of Smyrna (261 h) we saw the Turkish fleet close in with the south end of Mytilene (Lesbos,) — and the Greek squadron from Ip serva, it was said, was on the north side watching their movements. “ We stopped at the islands of Ipserva, Idera, and Milo, and got the most correct accounts from the Morea. Athens was taken by the Greeks about the 14th of June,and the whole of the Morea was in pos session of the Greeks with the ex ception of Napoli di Romania, which was expected to fall every day when we left there (Ist. July) and perhaps a small fort on the lo nian Sea, Motion, I believe. — Ibe I Congress was sitting at Argos ; and the arrangements made by them for i carrying on the war, were judici ous ; but that great sinew of war was wanting (money,) and their o perations of course must be limited. They are in want of*arms and am munition, and I fear, if it be true as is reported, that Russia will not go to war with the Porte, their dreams of liberty will be short-lived and I illusive. What a pity that the ' Christian nations will not unite and restore to them their liberty and country ! “ We declined going to Athens in consequence of the report, that . symptoms of the plague had made its appearance. We were all very i much disappointed, and a majority I would gladly have risked catching : the plague, to have had a view of t the plains of Marathon. We had a . distant view of the promontory of ; Sonium where Plato discoursed to ; his disciples ; and the remains ol i the temple of Minerva. The same 1 reasons deprived us of the pleasure ;of seeing Alexandria; and our f cruise, from which we expected to • have derived great satisfaction and j improvement, has turned out rather i barren. s “We stopped a few days at Malta I to get provisions and water, but can • give you no description of the place f or its inhabitants, as we were in I quareutine, and of course could not • go on shore. s “ 1 have been induced to give you s a true account of the situation of the Greeks, well knowing that the - statements in the newspapers are ) very often erroneous. I forgot to 1 mention in its proper place, that the - Greeks who are properly armed in i the Moiea, amount to sixty thou • sand ; but the number of men, that - compose the army, is considerably e more. They have one or two e manufactories of powder in the Mo |> rea, under the auperintendance of - Frenchmen ; but the quantity as I yet made, will nothing like meet e the demand.-—ln Candia, they have n about six thousand very good sol ’ diers under (he command of a na ■ tive general (whose name I forgot) of areal talents, and who served as II afield officer several years in the l} Russian array. We landed in Greece opposite to the island of • Idderva, merely to say that-we fad n been there. There was no town, r and we had but a few omer.ts to e sta/, as the ship was under nay. e We stopped for afevv hours at M i 1 laga on our way down, hut they would not admit us to pralique. We • arrived here about two hours ago, • and are quarantined j ofcourse have 0 no news from the shore ;1 am glad a to learn that there is no certainty of • Russia’s haring made peace with • the Turks —When we were last at • Leghorn, Lord Byron paid ns a vis it. 1 was much pleased with him. y —We shall sail up the Mediterani a an in a week or ten days.” Latest from Europe. a The Editors of the New York Gazette are indebted to the polile ; ness of capt. Noyes, for a regular file of Gibraltar papers to the 7th. a of August, inclusive. They contain ) Madrid dates to the 30th. of July, 5 and furnish some interesting infor -1 mation relative to the disturbances a in Spain, together with a copy of , the note, addressed to the Spanish f Secretary of State by the Foreign - Ministers at Madrid. The papers ■ also contain intelligence from Por -1 tugal. t The Portuguese Cortes have re jected an article of the law -project ■ submitted to them by the committe i on the Political affairs of Brazil, i which would have subjected the Military Commandants in that king s dom to the Boards of Government. • Some of the Deputies feared that • the first use which the Boards would • make of their new powers, would r be to ship o the Portuguese troops ■ to Europe. > A treaty of peace is said to have - been concluded between Tuscany 1 and Algiers, with great moderation on the part of the latter power.— The differences between Spain and r the Dey seemed likely to be serious. : and the Spanish Consul had left ' Algiers. In consequence of a body of arm 1 ed malcontents having assembled in • the Ronda Mountains, the Military f Commandant of Cadiz had dispatch ' ed all his disposable forces for that ■ quarter. The King of Spain has issued a • Royal Order bearing date the 23d. 1 of July, declaring the Seventh Mili tary District (Catalonia) in a state of f war, and consequently ordering it t to be occupied by an army of obser : vation, under General Mina, as • Commander in Chief. ! t The King of Portugal has disap proved of all the acts of the Prince Regent of Brazil, contrary to the , basis of the Constitution sworn to by the nation, and to tlie decrees | subsequently issued by the Cortes.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1323 For hr ankle and Advertiser. In the course of a few days, I hope to present (he public with a full ex hibition of the conduct of Mr. George M’Duflie; but I am induced on one topic, to anticipate my intended pub lication, in consequence of a news paper calumny which is uttered with an impudence calculated to deceive those who are not acquainted with the author. Mr. M’Duffie stated in , his Greeneville handbill, that on the Bth of June I braced my nerves with artificial stimulants. This charge by a man whose tees were scarcely safe from his own pistol, excited no thing but ridicule, as the stimulation referred to was supposed Xo be an external use of Cologne water. But he attaches to his bill in its recent republication, the following query— “ Will Col.Cumming have the ef frontery to deny that he stimulated internally by the liberal use of opium, in addition to the strong liquid in which he washed his face the mo ment before he took his stand?” If any thing from such a fellow could surprise me it would be this. Ex cept in severe sickness about ten years ago I never took a particle of opium in my life.—Neither on the Bth of June, nor for six months pre viously, that I can recollect, did 1 take one drop of laudanum or any other preparation of the drug. Here then is a subject definite and tangible. My antagonist accuses me of having used opium on a particular occasion. I tell him flatly that it i* a . base falsehood, and it is proven te be such by unquestionable testimony, so far as a negative proposition can be established. Let him now pro duce the evidence of what he has as serted, or submit to the reprobation of every honest, in addition to tlie contempt of every honorable man. WM. GUMMING* On the night of the 7th of June, I slept in the same apartment with Co: Gumming—we rose at the same hoir next morning, and I was with hi® almost every moment of the time tha. intervened between our rising aim the combat with Mr. McDuffie. - am certain, so Tar as I can be of a negative, that he did not on that oc casion take any stimulant stronger than common coffee. On the ground he washed his hands with C ologne water, (as he had long before deter; mined) to render them pliable, also at the same time rubbed a smal. quantity on his face, as I believe i frequently done by those who use that article, on account of its agreea ble odour. Before Mr. M‘Duflie own repqrt, I never even heard o Col. Gumming using opium at any time or in any form. I have known him from my infancy, and of late our association has been so intimate, t.ia' I think it impossible he should ha't used that drug without my know - edge. He takes a small quantity 0 tobacco, but I never saw in his p OS " session a single particle ot opium or any preparation of it. I shall no insult him by speaking of his hr lll ness-, Vi. W, MONTGO 'IERY On the morning of Bth of June, I was in company with Col. Gumming almost every moratnt that in.te;v<Jfv
