tfpniite that, ifttie point were investigated 4 name (or the Deity, signify ing the Urea, Spirit, which has, I believe, been generally Supposed to be universal among the Indians* would he found among very few. The Chcrokceshave only two names of- God^ «ne of which, .oviwo-u U-ne-la-nv-hi, signifies the Creator, and the other mivj, rj* Ga-lv-la-ti e-hi, ‘he tvho dwells above. It is asserted, if I understand the lan. guagc used that, the old Hebrew name of God is known to all the Aborigines. I *up„ pose the writer refers to the name El, or Elohim. Certainly this name is not known to the Cherokees. It is added ‘‘He is alsowalled Yehowali, and sometimes Yah, &. also Abba.” This may be true in regard to tribes with which lam unaqnacinted. As to Cherokees, the name Yehowah is note known to tome, but only to those who learned it by means of Christian missionaries; the name Yah to none, unless a few individuals may have learned that there if such a name in the Hebrew scriptures. As to Abba, it seems to me altogether probable, that it is no oth er than the Cltoctaw ubba, which signfies, unless I greatly mistake, .above, &. is used in connexion with pinke, our father, as a name for the Deity, but probably, accord ing to opinion of the Rev. Mr. Wright, who has the best opportunity of judging, learn ed from the whites." [See Miss. Her-, vol. xkiv. p. 1T9. Mr.- Worsley also affirms, that “they are distinctly heard to sing, with their religious dances, hallelujah, and praise to jah.” I believe Cherokee tradition knows nothing of these songs. Mr. Wright informs us that hallelujah is sometimes sung by the Choc taws, who aver that it is not one of their native songs, but was learned from the northern Indians. “Other remarkable Sounds go out of their mouths, as shilluryo, shil-lUbho, ale-yo, he- Utah, yo-he-v>ah, but they profess not to know the meaning of these words; etc ”— The Cherokees know nothing of all these. “They keep annual feasts resembling those of the Mosaic ritual; a feast of lirst fruits,” &c. That a feast of lirst fruits .{the green corn dance) was observed by the Cherokees till witlun a lew years, is certain. They also observed lasts, and had a city of refuge lor the ihanslayer. As to the other feasts mentioned by Mr. V\ ors- |cy, as also the abstaining from ealuig the hollow of the thigh of an annual, the former practice of the rite of circumcision 6lc. if they existed, the traditions have not yet coinc to my knowledge; but as 1 am but a white man, and have not yet enjoy ed the most extensive means of information, niy ignorance of them is not prooi that they . never existed.

New York Apul 4- LATEST FROM ENGLAND. -' By the packet ship Silvanus Jenk ins,-Captain Allen, which arrived yes terday, we have received our Liver pool papers to the 14th February, London papers to the 13th, and Lon- Shipping Lists to the 11th. *. - The great subject is the Catholic Question. With it the papers are almost tilled. Parliament appears to be ready to grant the Irish the privi leges they desire, and the only obsta cle which existed, as the King’s speech ' declared,* has been removed, by the ” spontaneous dissolution of the Catholic. Association. A bill was under discus sion in the House of Commons, con taining some severe provisions, au thorizing the forcible dispersion of any meetings that might be held, for objects like those heretofore aimed at by associations in Ireland. It was to extend to two years; but its rigor will propably neither bjj felt nor ex erted since the Association has thus -been promptly annihilated. New York, April8. London [tapers to Feb. 20th, and Liverpool to the 21st, have been re ceived at Boston, by the packet ship Boston, Capt. Mackay. We have been politely furnished by a friend with the Manchester Times of the latter date, brought by this vessels It is stated that active preparations are going on among the Russians, for the Opening of another campaign. A man of war of that nation lately pass- fed up thd Dardanelles, and after folding communication with the Porte, returned. -By the last accounts from Turkey, tlie Sultan was slL. in hts camp, at Kaiuu Cuiciiiioh, vvneie he was chietiy spending his lime in shooting. He had not given his formal assent to me Independence of Greece, but he was not expected to disturb the order of lliiugs established by the three al lied powers. In the House of Lords on the lGth Feb. the Duke of vVciiiugfoii express-, ed himself distinctly hi favor of con cessions to the Catholics. Lord Eidou stated, that the duke had given no intimation at the opening oi par liament of such a course. The duke said he had distinctly stated, thai, a^er a measure now in progress, it was designed to bring forward another, the object of which would be the adjusunent oi the Cath olic question, by the removal of all disabilities. [Cheers.) He had also staled that this measure would be at tended by another, rendered necessa ry by such removal, and lie hoped these measures would give general satisfac tion. On the 19th of February, in the House of Lords, a great number of petitions were presented against con cession to the Catholics. In the .House of Commons GO petitions a- gainst and 16 lor concession were presented. On (he 20th the petitions lor and against were very numerous. The Times of the 19th of February says it is probable that the Catholic Relief Bill will be brought in next week by his Majesty’s Ministers, and that upon the certainty of its passing both houses of Pa rliament it is not worth while to speak; the power of carrying the measure admits no dis pute. The following is a letter written by General Dorrego, the Ex-Governor oi Buenos Ayres, to lus wile, previous to his execution: My beloved vlngelita.—h has just been intimated tu iue that within an hour 1 must die: 1 am ignorant for what cause, but Divine Providence, in whom 1 confide in this critical mo ment, has so tit-lermintd it. 1 pardon ail my enemies, and be seech my Iriends noi to lake any steps to avenge me. My iile, educate those amiable chil dren: be happy, which jou have not been able to be in the company ol Hie unfortunate, MANUEL DORREGO. . Capture of pirates.—From Capt. Aveiihe oi the brig Gen. Gadsden, arrived on Thursday, in lour uajs trom Havana, we have the gratiiying intelligence of the capture of a num ber of Pirates. The Br. brig'Nancy Pierce, 49 days from Guernsey, arrived at Ha vana 23d ult. Capt. P. was boarded lbth ult. by a lieut. from 11. B. M. brig V ictor, m lat. 22, 20 N. lung 82 VV. who informed bun that the brig hud captured u Piratical vessel, and had the Prisoners on board bouud to Jamaica to deliver them to Admiral Flemming commanding on that station; that they had b«en obliged to hang several of them for attempting to take possession of the brig. The Ollicer likewise stated that they had informa tion of Jour other piratical vessels which had been cruizing olf Cape Ationin, and warned Capt. P. to give the Cape a wide birth. Tne Capt. of the Nancy, did not inquire how ma ny Pirates were taken, but supposed there must have been at least from 80 U) 100, as the crew of the brig amounted to 110 men, and carries 18 guns. Capt. P. had given the above particulars on affidavit. We further learn by a gentleman, passenger in t1ie Gen. Gadesdon, that the French Consul at Havana had in formed the American Commercial Agent, ^ that information had been received at Havana, that the French brig L’Amedee, of Bordeaux, Capt. Bourin, which vessel sailed from Exuma, 2d March, for Havana, was fallen in with by the American ship Benjamin Morgan, within 5 miles off Cape Antonio, totally abandoned. Boxes and trunks of Merchandize and Crockery w r crc scattered about the decks, which were also stained with blood, and gave every reason to conclude her crew had been murder ed by pirates. The L’Amedee was, it is expected, carried into New Or leans by the Benjamin Morgan. Our iriformant also states that an attempt had been made by a Spanish Monk, but which was fortunately frus trated, to nssissinnte the Intcndnntof Ha Anna. In addition to the above, we learn from the Havana ii Noticiosa J\Tercimi-i (if” of the 27th March, wild Which we have been favoured: “That the Spanish armed schooner Habanera had been cruising in search of a piratical schooner which was said to be stationed near the Colorados [kevs.j From iiilormatioii given to the commanders at a late hour of the the nighl, on the 23d ult. he was ena bled on the succeeding day to liud the above piratical vessel, and preparing himself for action bore down upon ber, having in company two barges. On approaching her, she was louud de serted. Two dead bodies lajr on the deck near the pivot gun, and three more floated alongside the vessel. The deck was strewed with blood, which had been so abundant as to run out through the scupper holes. From this circumstance, the olfiter of the Spanish schooner conjectures that the pirates had fought and destroyed one another. They had previously robb ed a brig, and stranded her on Cape Antonio.” The impression at Havana was that the Pirates of the above vessel had geen all executed immediately after their capture by order of the Commander of the Spanish vessel of War. The tardiness ol Justice in similar cases at the Spanish Island, makes the above opinion probable. The armed schooner and her prize had arrived at Bahia Honda. City Gazette.

Mr. Hill, Mr. James iiiil ol me U. b.

The groom and Ins two associates were in full military costume; and those persons present, accustomed to wedding scenes, pro nounced this bridal parly one of the handsomest they had ever witnessed. After the marriage ceremony, the hap py pair were congratulated with all good wishes; cake and wine werte pass ed round, and in due time a bountiful supper was partaken of by the whole company, ami the evening passed oir in tlie most agreeable manner possi ble.
