.rec2es tliat gently agitated the leaves [f the forest; and my soul glowed in larmony and rapture, as I surveyed ie Oostanalee winding its silent ourse towards the South, apparently roud of its strength and value to man, dio delights to live and labor on its efreshing banks. I was invited to a redding on Amuchee creek, six miles istant, which invitation I accepted, rossed the river, and, in company pith a young lady, travelled in a path 2 inches wide through the wilderness. The spring had already exerted her iovyer, and spread her rich carpet of preen, white, red and yellow on the ace of the earth. These blessings, re extended for the use and benefit if the Cherokee Indians, who for ages iast have lived in ignorance, and de lation, but now, no longer savages, e. rising from ignorance to the stand- •d of moral, intellectual, religious id political importance. We now in enjoy landscape scenery, and freVish the poetical effusions of hompson as if he had addressed his Seasons” to us: * For you the roving spirit of the wind Blows Spring abroad; for you the teem ing clouds Descend in gladsome plenty o^er the world; And the sun sheds his kindest rays for you, Ye flow’r of human race. In these green- days .Reviving sickness lifts her languid head; Life flows afresh; and youngeyed health exalts The whole creation round.” It was 12 o’clock when we reach- d the habitation of the Bride’s pa- ents, consisting of four log cabins, ith a farm. Here were gathered a umber of Cherokees, who, through iy interpretation, heard an instructive iscourse by the Rev. Greenberry arreit of the Methodist church, on lie 24th chapter of Luke, 45th, 46th nd 47th verses. “ Then opened he eir understanding, that they might nderstand the scriptures; and said nto them, Thus it is written, and us it behooved Christ to suffer, and rise from the dead the third day: nd that repentance and remission of ins should be preached in his name mong all nations, beginning at Jerusa- spj.” At the close of the sermon The Spirit, a Cherokee who docs ot speak English, delivered an ad- ress in support,of the sermon, in a ■Jnasterly and eloquent style. I es- eembhim the best speaker in this na bob. He is to his country, what Ci- ero was to Rome. Prayer and sing ing were wholly conducted in Chero kee, and the audiehce, being mostly full-biooded Cherokees, and of the (nimbler class in life, afforded a spe cimen of handsome talent in church music, and were remarkably neat in dress, and unexceptionable in deport- ent. After a short intermission, and diri- er, the nuptials were solemnized by he-minister, and the service was in- erpreted into Indian by me. They ere united agreeably to rules pre- cribed by the Methodist Episcopal "hurch. The Bride is a quarter white, pos- esses a fine figure, somewhat tall, eautiful complexion, with dark hair nd eyes: her features bear the evi- ence of amiability ?nd good nature; and on the whole she is an interesting Woman.. She is a member of the Methodist Church. The Bridegroom, ft cousin of hiine, is a full blooded In dian, of Aboriginal deep copper com (flexion, low in stature, fine figure, but does not possess a handsome face, though depicted upon it are the marks of honesty, fidelity and good nature.— He was dressed in a clean northern domestic suit, and his bride was in White cambric. After they were uni ted, I congratulated them on the mode they had chosen to celebrate their (nuptials—that it afforded me pleasure Ito reflect that we were advancing so rapidly in civil arid religious improve ment, as to banish our ignorant habits and customs, and that we were now adopting others which were more cre ditable & decent, & held in esteem by civilized nations;—that this wedding would be an example for others to im itate, and wherever heard of, would wove to the world, that instead of be- iqg savages, we were enlightened. I have been thus particular, to prove to your white readers, that, instead of the poorer class of our people being in servile chains and oppression, under the influence of Mitchel “Nabobs” they are in possession of religious and political freedom and rural happiness. waterhunter.

From the New York Adverser, LATEST FROM ENGLAND. The packet ship Wm.

Intelligence that Russia had actuair ly commenced hostilities against Tur* key, was hourly expected in England. The Russian Government are stated to have considered the Turkish Mani festo, which was published here some time since, as in part, a declaration of war by the Sublime Porte against Russia: and it was on that ground, that hostilities were so confidently expect ed. It was supposed that the next advices received at London, would announce the fact, that the Russian forces on the Turkish frontier, had REMARKS ON MATTHEW CHAP.

The Ottoman Manifesto is published, and Russia conceiving her self separately insulted and defied, re solves to redress her own wrongs se parately. She is therefore in alliance arid she is not—she is, as far as relates to Greece; she is not, as far as relates to herself and Turkey. Great Britain remains an ally to Franc©and Russia, for the purpose of emancipating Greece. She does not enter into the contest between Russia and Turkey, which is a contest upon grounds relating exclusively to th se two countries. She is not an ally of Turkey—she is not the enemy of Tur key—but she “ is penetrated with the necessity of putting an end to the san guinary struggle” which has been so long carried on between the Greek provinces and Turkey. France occupies precisely the same position and same ground as this coun try.—London Courier, March 14. [From the Moniteur.] Paris March 13.—The news which has been received to-day from St. Pe- tersburgh justifies the apprehensions which were naturally conceived on the effect which the Turkish manifes to would excite in that capital. This document, by whatever name it may have been called, has been considered by the Russian Cabinet as a real dec laration oi war, with the more reason as repeated acts of hostility accom- crossed the Pruth. It was stated that j panied the publication ol it. The the Ottoman army would wait for the onset upon the Danube, or between the two rivers. It is said that though the greatest harmony prevails be tween the Allied Powers, Great Bri tain and France were not expected to take an active part in the contro versy between Turkey and Russia/— But the three powers were det ermin ed to persevere in adjusting and set tling the affairs of Greece. It seems to be firmly resolved upon to place ! the latter upon a secure foundation, in order that she may be no more subject to Turkish oppression, injustice, and barbarity. The Greek Government have addressed a “Declaration” to the European Powers, in wdneh they describe the limits, which in their o- pinion, ought to he fixed to the nation of Greece. They think the natural boundary of the North of Grcce, di viding it from the adjoining countries, is traced by the mountains of Thessa ly on one side, and by the river Vojus- sa on the other, and its mountains. It is remarked “that this line formed in ancient times the true limit of Greece, properly so called, as it forms at the present day that of New Greece.”— The negociations for the deliverance of Greece, were to be carried on at the Ionian Islands. Should Russia engage in open war with Turkey, the state of things in Europe will he very singular, and we should think not a little intricate and critical. Great Britain, France, and Russia, are closely allied in adjusting the affairs of Greece, in her dispute with Turkey. Out of this interfer ence will have arisen the war between Russia and Turkey. Great Britain and France do not intend, it is said, to become partners in the wab, but still mean to prosGcute their undertaking in regard to Greece. This is a dou ble sort of game that must be played with great skill and caution, or all the concern must be involved in it. If War is seriously begun, & it is likely to be protracted for any considerable period, we can scarcely imagine that Great Britain and France can stand by, and not be engaged. Even suc cess oil the part of the Russians, would alarm those powers, as well as Aus tria, all of whom would be unwilling to see Russia in possession of Constan tinople, and the rest of Turkey in Eu rope. Wc should not he surprised, after the earliest effects of war have been experienced, to find negociations renewed, and the whole controversy settled by the influence 6f Great Bri tain, France, and Austria. We believe that the Greek cause is safe. There is every reason to expect that thdy will be rescued from Turkish bondage, and placed in a comparative ly safe sit uation for the future—prob ably under the protection of Great Britain and France. A Russian officer who arrived in London, states that throughout Russia, the feeling against the Turks was so strong, that the Emperor must com mence hostilities n'T.ainst them, if he ■wished to maintain his popularity. Bosphorus entirely closed against nav igation—Russian vessels confiscated —the influence of the Porte easily recognized in ihe rupture of a treaty which Russia was on the poiru of con cluding with Pei siu—trie losses sus tained by Odessa; so many causes of complaints did not permit Russia a- gain toreiuse a uenance so boldly of fered to its power and us moderation. We must, therefore, expeu shortly to receive oliicial noin e oi the pas sage of trie Pi utli riy the Russian ar my, ana of ihe occupation of trie prin cipalities. it is atfirmed, that orders have been given for the army to com mence its march on the 12th of April. It is stui dubouit to loresee what may be the consequent es, with respect to the tre, ty oi fine 6th of July, of a de- te; in inatiou which the provocations all directly proceeding from trie Porte seem to render more peculiar to Rus sia. The conferences at Loudon still continue: the object of them will be to seek for means to maintain the bond which the Porte endeavors to break, and to make the occupation of the principalities, which it has rendered inevitable, co-ordinate with the mea sures which it may appear proper to take simultaneously on the Mores and the Archipelago If this harmony, of which nothing yet indicates the interruption, should con tinue to direct the measures taken on cither side to attaiu the common ob ject, the tranquility of Europe might be guaranteed, for it wo’uld be dilfii ult to believe that the Porte would still persist in braving the demonstrations which the European alliances would render so formidable by its union. This union is desirable for all parties, espe cially forlhe Porte. Sensible;at length, to the danger of its situation, it must, end by understanding it. We desire this* The question, both for it and for the peace of Europe, is to be decided be tween the Pruth and the Danube. After the passage of the Pruth, the Porte, will, doubtless, consider more attentively the evidence of danger, and the necessity of its submission, as well to the proposals of theGth July as to the condition of the treaty of Aker- man, which remains to be fulfilled.— It is upon the banl s of the Danube that we must wish that satisfaction may be obtained, for too many com plicated questions would be met with by all parties upon the other side of that river, on the ruins of ihe Ottoman empire. The same letters announce, that the treaty between Persia and Russia lias not been signed, and that hostilities were going to recommence. The Russian army, at the moment of passing the Pruth, is abundantly supplied with all necessary resources.

They are crowded with children—well edu* cated, w r ell clothed, healthy children--* with enough to eat and drink: with a horse or two for every farm, a few cows, a few- sheep, a few pigs, plenty of poultry, and two or three yoke of fine cattle; and so far from feeling poor, that in nine families out of ten; they would think no more of a- doptinga stray child that might come in their w ay than most people would of giving it a dinner. Wages on a farm are one dollar (4s. 6d.) a day, or 12 dollars (12 14s.) a month the whole year round, or 120 dollars (132 8s.) per year. In all these cases the laborer is found. 1ft the haying season lie may earn one dollar and fifty cents, or Cs 6d. a day*. PITKINS S HISTORY.

Oglethorp (the Governor of Georgia, with when? he sailed,) stepped in to inquire the caus: of it, on which the General inw mediately addressed him; “Mr. Wcs^ ley. you must excuse ine, I have met with a prpvocation too great for mo to bear. You know the only wine I drink is Cyprus wine, as it agrees with me the best of any; I therefore prtf* vided myself with several dozens of it* and this villi an, Grimaldi, (his foreign servant, who was present, and almost dead with fear,) has drunk up thd . whole of it. But I will be revenaed on him.
