fof flowers shaded by an orange grove,
the beautiful Tagus murmenng at my
foot, I heard a clear and sonorous voice
distinctly pronounce my name three
times. I turned round, to ask who call
ed I saw no one; but heard a second
summons. “ Listen!” it now repeated
thrice in a soft voice. I arose, and in
stantly sunk appalled on-the ground, on
hearing he words which followed ; “ Lis
ten thou Marquis d’Antares ! thy death
is ordained 1” No awful phantom ap
proached to notify whence the prophecy
proceeded ;—I searched, but neither saw
nor heard any thing more. The predic
tion fastened on my very soul, and impel
led me to visit mv favourite bank the fol
lowing day. The same dreadful and vis
ionary mandate was repeated on this and
the third day, after which I heard it m>
more. The exterminating threat follow
ed me every where. Undefined as it
was to any precise period, it nevertheless
drove me from public amusements to a
more close attendance on the duties of
religion. One Sunday evening I had
been at vespers, when a funeral dirge was
chanted. I returned home, and went to
sleep under the serious reflections ot mv
own mortality. At midnight a loud sigh,
twice repeated, awakened me,and I start
ed up, but perceived no object in the
room. Again the same voice I heard in
the garden at Atanjuez alarmed me.
“ Listen, thou Marquis d’Antares, thy
death is ordained!”—! sunk back on the
bed with terror, and opening my eves be
held on the opposite wall, in a scroll o
illuminated death’s beads, the same word
in legible diameters of fire. My senses
now faded away before the phenomenon,
Iin d l lay without moving till the morning
bell announced b-eakfast. On the same
day I set about arranging all inv temporal
concerns, and wrote a long letter of love
and separation to mv beloved dementia,
to be delivered by Rondo af.er my death.
Indeed, I sometimes thought from the si
lence of Yestola she was dead ; nhd dwelt
with delight on her bavins; entered the im
mortal region to winch I was hastening.
Hence I visited no part of my place bu
the chapel, and my friends, ignorant of
mv secret, concluded I was sinking fast
into insanity. About a month after th s,
I took to my bed; a violent fever burn*
me by day, and fearful dreams harrowed
me up bv night. My mother and Rondo
hung over the last appearance ot anima
tion with ihe most profound sorrow, and
only waited" for the parting breath to con
vey the emaciated skeleton to the silent
tomb of its ancestors. I lay myself in
expectation of the awful change one night,
and had raised my eves, to take a last fam-
well of them, thinking they were beside
me, when bv the dim light of a fleeting
taper, I beheld a person clothed in white,
of a singular fashion, sitting in a chair at
the foot of the bed. I saw in him distinct
ly the venerable features of my deceased
father. As I regarded the beloved object
with delight and reverence, for fear had
now lost all power over me, he stood up,
and in a solemn and majestic manner
stretched out his hand aftectionately to
wards me. A smile overspread his fea
tures, and he uttered these words in a
hollow soft voice: “My son, thy death
will not yet be '—We shall not meet in
heaven for a season!” Then pointing to a
tab!e on which stood some fruit, which I
had hitherto from weakness been unable
to taste, he again smiled, and, with a look
of religious resignation, slowly glided
across the chamber and disappeared. On
the exit of this paternal and ghostly phy
sician, I called to Rondo to hand me the
fruit pointed at. The pomegranate alle
viated my burning thirst,-and the assu
rance, that mv days were no longer num
bered, calmed the agitation of my soul.
Mv cure w-as rapidly effected, and my
friends considered mv recovery as a re
surrection from the dead. Worldly mo
tives, with the return of health, resumed
their force, and I recollected that I had
neglected to fulfil a particular injunction
of mv father’s will, which was to repair
his favorite summer mansion house, on
the banks of the Tagus. I had dispatch
ed Rondo, with orders to see one of the
wings thoroughly lepaired, when the mel
ancholy event of. my mother’s sudden
death took place in my family. In a few
days after her interment, I received the
following letter from my old house keeper
in the country.
“ Most honoured Senor: A sad terri
ble accident has happened here : Rondo
came down and began to repair the west
Win g of the old mansion: but, your Ex-
ceilenza, there is an end of the wing and
him together. A terrible hurricane rose
' ] ast n ight,blew down that side of the build
ing, killed two men, almost frightened
me to death, and has buried poor Rondo
in the ruins—so now we wait for your
Excellenza’s farther orders.”
“ You may naturally suppose, my dear
Rondolos, I was more afflicted at the loss
of my faithful Rondo than the fallen wing
of theT old mansion—“ Surely,” said I,
“ Don Algonah has dealings with the de
vil, and he sets him to haunt me! Idle
as this speech was, it led to a train of
thoughts, which gave some colour to the
remark, as my recollection surveyed the
horrors of the hellish Chamber in Mon-
tillo castle.
“ The next morning I went to look af
ter Rondo, and survey the ruin.—No trace
of him could be found, and I almost be
lieved the report of the servant, that Lu
cifer had whisked him away in a whirl
wind.—Here I remained three weeks,
during which I learned your return from
Portugal. I had heard so much in your
favor, added to the event of last night, and
the similarity you bear to my lost Marano,
that I have determined to make you my
friend.
“ You now see, Olivaro, that my intro
duction to Don Algonah could have been
of no service to you, and with our joint
council and courage, we will endeavor t*.
counteract the designs of the old tyrant.”
“ I am your’s,” exclaimed Rondolos: “to
rescue AmaraRta and Clementia, I am
ready to hazard my person and fortune.”
They discoursed togethei till the broad
light of morning appeared, when they se
parated, and agreed to meet again in the
evening. D’Antares then retired to his
garden, pleased with the passion Olivaro
had conceived for Amaranta, as it would
form a double link of friendship between
them, and contemplating the means of
procuring an interview with that lady,
through Count de Bellara’s acquaintance
with the Don.
In the midst of his reverie, he started at
the sight of Rondo, who presented him
self, covered with dust, as if he had just
terminated a long journey. “ Ha ! my
brave fellow !” cried the Marquis d’An
tares, “ where have you hidden yourself,
whence come you, and what have you
been about!” “ About a foolish business,
as it has turned out,” said Rondo ; “ but
it was all for vour good, noble sir, though
it has turned out good for nothing.—You
remember you gave me orders to fit up the
old mansion.—Now, thought I, to make
the job complete, I must look out for a
lady to it, and who is so fit as mv master’s
own choice, Lady Clementia. Then
there will be an end of his pining and ill
ness.—Old Yestola never sending any
news, I set off privately in search of some,
and so reached the lifcmle* about a league
from Montillo castle.!—I took np my lodg
ing at an honest cot'^ger’s, one of whose
<laugh*ers carried curds and cream to the
castle.—“ Look ye, friend,” said I, “ I

castle, and if I could ma^e your daughter
the bearer “ It (is an ugly busi
ness,” said the cottager.“ Never: mind
that,” said I, “ here is something will
make it look handsomer.” At the same
time I put a double doubloon into his
hand.—“Pray,” continued I, “is Don
Algonah married again!” 44 No,” replied
he, “ but not from bis own disinclination.:

which they made themselves liable to the
M’Intoshes for twentyjsix or twenty-sev
en thousand dollars ; which the latter now
claim. Having discovered the imposition,
the Chieftains reject its admission and re
fuse to pay the amount; consequently the
money continues in the hands of Colonel
Crowell, the Creek Agent.
To Washington City, they have written
making heavy charges against the Gener
al Government, against Georgia, and a
gainst the Agent. The finger of the Cher
okees may be seen in this businesss. Tha
crafty people, convinced from the tone o
the Georgia papers, that as soon as thej
difficulties with the Creeks are settled,]
iheir own Nation will be the next object,
are anxious to keep alive the excitement
among the Creeks to the latest hour.
The Family of the M’Intoshes, t who
have this claim upon the Creeks, consist of
Roily, (brother of the late General) Chil-j
ly, (a son) and the General’s two wive:
and three daughters.
The Creeks positively refuse any fur
ther propositions for the balance of thei
land in Geoigia. These facts may be re
lied upon as substantially correct.
Colonel Crowell is said to have set ou|
for Augusta, and may, it is surmised, ex
tend his journey to Washington City, be
fore he returns.

success on the occasion alluded to, certain
ly afforded a striking proof of the strength
of their friendship in the loudness of their
report, for they made
“ The kettle to the trumpets speak
“ The trumpets to the cannonier without;
“ The cannons to the Heavens, the Heavens to Earth.”
On Tuesday night, there was more mu
sic and more firing of cannon. It is said,
he was, but as soon as he had delivered
his message, he re-mounted his horse, and
■ odo away. Some say it was the same
ghost which frightened away the guests on
his marriage with Lady Cleona.”
“ Finding this was all I could learn, I
dispatched my pretty postman with my
billet, announcing mv business and ap
pointing a place of interview in the ever
green temple at twelve.—Accordingly I
chmbed the garden wall, and repaired to
the appointed spot; but the midnight bell
struck, and then the half-hour chimes rang,
without any one approaching.—Presently
I heard a light footstep and a whispering
voice, calling out Rondo ! Rondo !—-
“ Here am I,” said I, starting up. “ How
does your master and Marano I” said La
dy Amaranta : “ My sister has mislaid the
letter, and is so much flurried she cannot
come—I run a thousand hazards and must
return in a moment.” “ Lord,” said I,
“ Lady, I have formed a plan to effect
Vour escape by a boat on the Darro ; for,
surely, you would rather live with such
gentlemen in Madrid, than be with the
dismal Don in this castle.” “ Indeed,”
replied Amaranta, “ If I could persuade
mv sister, I would willingly go, I am so
tired of this dreary frightful place!” “ Say
you so!” cried Don Algonah, as he ad
vanced from behind ; “then,by the deeps
of hell, you shall soon quit it!” He imme
diately drew his sword, but I escaped in
the confusion, as he fell over the body of
Amaranta, who had fainted.
“ I returned to the cottager, who was
alarmed at this termination of the busi
ness, fearful that he and his daughter might
be brought under the Don’s displeasure.
On the foilowing day, he met the fisher
man who supplied the castle with fish ;
and from him he learned that the report
there was, that Donna Amaranta was HI,
and that the Don had given orders for a
journey to Madrid, to place her in a con
vent, with the Lady Abbess, with whom
he was intimately acquainted.
“ Thinking this was only a feint to con
ceal the real place of her imprisonment,
I waited till he set out, and hung upo.i his
rear till he arrived in Madrid.—So now,
your Excellenza,!if I have done wrong, I
hope it will be the last time !” D’Antares
readily forgave him, and in the evening
visited his friend Olivaro.—They repair
ed to the Prada, where they saw the
Count de Bellara, walking with Algonah.
“ Now,” said the Marquis d’Antares,
“ for ruse contre ruse.—While you throw
yourself in their way, and detain them in
conversation, I will fly to the Count’s and
effect an interview with Amaranta.—Oli
varo approved of the scheme, an'd, wishing
the Marquis success, he accosted the
Count, and politely noticed the Don.
(To be continued.)
CREEK AFFAIRS.
The present difficulties with the Creek
Indians, we understand, originated in the
subject of damages in property sustained
bv the M’lntoshes, at the time their Head
Man was executed b v sentence of the Na
tion. At the request of the Chiefs, Col
onel Tutt, as special agent was sent into
the Nation to estimate the loss; which
was to be liquidated out of the annuity.—
This he appraised at about ten thousand
dollars, and the Ceeek authorities appear
ed satisfied with the decision. Through
the intrigues of their Cherokee Scribes,
Ridge and Vantf, a law was howe-ver con
jured up and an agreement signed, by
A Printer in extremities !—A Pennsyl
vania paper says, “ the Printer want
Grain, Pork, Tallow, Candles, Whiskey
Linen, Beeswax, Wool, and every thin]
else, that he can eat.
The Printer out of extremities.—“ W 1
have in our possession, says the Easton
Sentinel, a ham which, after being well
prepared and smoked, weighs sixty-nine
and a half pounds.”
FROM THE CONSTITUTIONALIST.
HAMBURG (S. C.) GREAT GUNS.
On the night of Monday last, martial
music and the firing of cannon in the town
of Hamburg, drove sleep from the eyes of
our startled citizens, and curiosity eagerly
demanded what wonderful incident had
occasioned a noise so tremendous? The
patereroes which as the ingenious author
of Peregrine Pickle relates, used to be
fired at the Garrison of Commodore Tru-
nion, upon the happening of all extraor
dinary events, were nothing at*al! to it:—
had the faithful Tom Pipes himself been
in Hamburg, he must have knocked under
to the loudness of the cannonade, and con
fessed the utter inability of the patereroes
aforesaid, of which Tom had the chief
management, to rival the long loud echo-
ingnote of the Hamburg Great Guns.—
Many were the conjectures afloat—some
thought that the forces of the P esident
were down upon us—others imagined that
some uncommonly great man, being upon
his travels, had stopped at our neighboring
town for the night, and that the Burghers
were doing him honor; the names of the
Secretary of State, Mr. Van Buren, the
Vice President, Messrs. Gales &. Seaton,
and the Duke Saxe .Weimar, instantly
suggested themselves. It was again sur
mised, that the noise was caused by a
strong effort to destroy mosquitoes and to
purify the atmosphere, and there were
some who were nervous enough to fancy
the explosion to be real thunder, and the
music to be music from the spheres. An
old lady who has long been looking out for
the latter day, insists tliat the night of
Monday, was one of “signs and wonders,”
and she is preparing a faithful account of it
which may be expected shortly to appear.
Now we believe, that there is no truth in
any of these conjectures, nor yet in ano-
-iher, that we have heard, to wit : that a
gentleman of Hamburg, has recently con
tracted an alliance with an accomplished
Heiress of a Northern City, and that his
friends were rejoicing at his good fortune ;
to say the truth, after the exercise of some
diligence we have not been able to find out
with certainty, why “ these cannon over
charged with double cracks,” were let off
at the . dead hour of night. What we
know, however, we are not willing to with
hold from the reader, although it is true,
we know but little. It is said, then, that
Mr. Shultz, the founder of Hamburg, the
stretch of whose intellect, and the fertility
of w hose genius every body allows, has
succeeded in one of his law suits, and that
he has become the purchaser of Hamburg,
the said town having been sold at Edgefield
Court-House, on Monday last. Whether
this sale will be more binding than other
sales of the same property already effect
ed, we are not prepared to say, nor can
we assert to what extent Mr. S. has suc
ceeded in his law suit—we only know,
that he has very warm friends in Ham
burg, who if they testified their joys at his
