I The news in this Evening’s paper from Flori

the former, which has harrassed the country for
months past, and cost the Government
several millions of Dollars, and the valuable lives
of miny brave soldiers and many patriotic and
chivalrous young Volunteers, seems to bo rapidly
drawing to a close. History has some parallels
to this war and but few. Something like it, but
on a larger scale, was the war waged for twenty
two years by Mithridates, King of Pontus against
the whole force of the Roman Empire, in the days
of its greatest power.
In Mexico, Bustamcnte has been elected Pre
sident by a large majority. Santa Anna had ar
rived at Vera Cruz, where ho was received with
only that small share of honors usually rendered
to fallen great men. He had gone to his coun

once possessed over the people of Mexico. M hat

POSTSCRIPT.
Fine. —A little after 3 o’clock this morning
V our citizens were aroused from their bods by the
8 cry of fire 1 It was found to proceed from the
■ new 1J story wooden shop, at the foot of market
* street, occupied by Kelly & McMillan, ns a boat
M builders establishment. The building was en
tircly consumed, without doing any material dam
age to the small buildings near.
It is probable all their tools, and a quan-
; t tily of timber were destroyed, as the combustible
® nature of the articles rendered the work of de
,•:£ struction very speedy. We were unable to ascer
tain whether the place was insured, or how the
pa fire originated.
We copy from the Constitutionalist of this
i* morning, the following remarks upon a subject,
|p which may become one ofimmensc magnitude to
fell this country.
CUBA.
We have expressed the opinion more than once,
A that, if this country had another war, it would bo
uion account of the Island of Cuba. Inan English
paper, recently received, it is staled, that the go
-11 vernment of Spain has offered to Great Britain
■J the permanent possession of Cuba, for an efficient
|P aid in men and money for the purpose of subdu
ing Don Carlos and his party. The English pa
ll A per gives this information only as a mere rumor ;
Shut there may be some truth in it; and if there
fflbe truth in it, there is no doubt that Great Bri
ttain would accede to the proposition, if she can
■ obtain possession of Cuba, without opposition
: S' from the inhabitants of the island, and without op-
Sposition from foreign powers, especially from the
■ United States. Situated as Cuba is, could we let
1 Great Britain possess that island without fighting
f a for it I Could we let such a maritime power as
P 1 Great Britain, command the Gulph of Mexico !
i, I The information maybe a mere rumor; but it
should bo hoped that our government is wide a-
Ejf wake to the consequences that would result to our
commerce and navigation, should there be some
® foundation for the rumor, should the sovereignty
pf, of Cuba pass from Spain to Great Britain.

IMPORTANT FROM FLORIDA.
The steamboat Charleston, Oapt. Donnell, ar
ia rived this morning from Garey’s Ferry, Florida,
H and conveys the gratifying intelligence thathos-
Rfi tilitics have ceased, and a treaty had been conclu
de dod with Jumper and other Chiefs. We have
H been favored by several gentlemen with the fol
|m lowing extracts ot letters, which induce us, at
H length, to believe that a termination of this savage
P and bloody warfare may be effected, and our gal-
Hjg i a nt army relieved from a duty which they have
■ met with alacrity, while bleeding Florida will ob-
I tain that repose, her suffering inhabitants so
I much need.
Capt. Hanis is the bearer of despatches, and
■ has a copy of the treaty w ith the Indians.
We learn that Philip and Micanopy had not
| signed the treaty, Micanopy says, that he
|[ been blamed for being against the war that if
■ they made a treaty he would sign it—that Paynes
■ treaty will be recognized.
■ Extract of a letter dated
« Camp hear Fonr Dade, 7
March 5, 1837. 5
“ I returned last night from a very disagreeable
I and hard service of a week, mending roads. We
I had a great deal of rainy weather—lt was much
I worse than marching in expectation of meeting
lan enemy—for then there was excitement. The
I General is pretty sure of a large party coming in,
I but it is very doubtful whether the others want
I peace.
« Jumper was in camp yesterday, and brings
I word from Micanopy that he will agree to any
W thing that Jumper says, and that when a day is
I fixed upon he will come in with his people, their
I wives, children and goods.
“He says that Jumper is his sense bearer. In
fact, they tell us that the Governor is an idiot,
and 100 fat to come, and docs not like to leave
home, and many other talcs which may or may
i not be true.
It is courious tliat Oscola has been invested by the
) whites with so many virtues and so mnch author-
for the truth is he never has been nor is he,
a chief of auy note among them, and his name is
■never memtioned unless he is inquired for.
“Ho is said to lie a good warrior—has tried to
risave the lives of some negro prisoners and one
Express, who was killed —and has only twooi
(three followers, and that his word is not more
<jthan that of any good warrior among them.
r “Gen. Jesup is sure of one thing, that if the
other tribes don. choose peace new, enough o
the Sominolcs, proffer, join him to act at
, guides in this vast country, of which so little ha:
V been, as yet, explored.
I Twelve hostages have been living in camp so
Acn days past, and others have been constantly
(coming and going.
All, who choose, receive rations—The Gener
eral is a good negociator.”
“March 5, 1837—afternoon.
I have just been attendiug the talk between th
head Chiefs of the hostiles and Gen. Jesup
Jumper says ho will not fight any more—no can
fight a whole nation like us—we are too nmnoi
ous, and his feelings were hurt in finding his owi
relations (the Creeks) fighting against them too.
Micanopy has sent out the talk, and if any of
the Indians refuse to come in they will settle it
themselves.
“When the General pushed him a little about
; the time of their coming to Tampa—ho said,
! that if ho agreed tohurryin.it might he sup
posed they were scared, which was not the case ,
—they were anxious for peace and would come
■ in.
“After a short conversation Gen. Jesup gave
him till to-morrow evening or the next morning '
to consult his brethren and the Creeks, and giro j
his answer.”
TREATY CONCLUDED.
’ “March 6—afternoon. (
“Jumper, Cloud, Holatouchoy, and others have
■ just signed a treaty of the following effect. All
, hostilities ate to cease from this time, and by the
Ist of April all the Indians are to be south of the 1
Hillsboro, and of a line drawn East through Fort .
Foster.
“By the 10th of April all are to be in at Tampa '
with their families to take transports for the West. 1
All the privileges of the treaty of Payne’s landing ;
are secured them, they arc to be paid for their
Cattle and ponies, and to receive rations. Hostages '
remain with us,
“In ten days Micanopy is to como in, ami stay
where the Commanding General chooses. The ne
groes that arc bona fide their own, arc also seemed
to them.’’
Extract of a letter from an officer of the Army at
Garey’s Ferry, to a friend in this city, dated
“March 11, 1837.
“ 1 understand that a treaty has been entered into
with the Indians—that they agree to be ready to go
west by the 10th proximo. Micanopy- is to bo kep
as a hostage until all leaves.”
Another letter states, that in consequence of a
letter from Head Quarters “there is good reason to
behove the war at an end.” *
/ From the Neio-Orleans Courier, March 11. \.
/ LATEST FROM MEXICO. *
Intelligence from this country has at length
been received by the arrival this morning, of the i
■ schr Creole, in 6 days from Tampico.
We learn by her that a fleet, consisting of 4
brigs and 3 schooners of war, had sailed from
, Vera Cruz for Matamoras, destined to operate
, against Texas. Every thing was tranquil in
1 Tampico. Thcto were about 800 troops there,
' in garrison.
, The Creole brings $404,300, which in this
time of scarcity will bo very acceptable.
Santa Anna arrived at Vera Cruz on 31st of
February, where he was rather cooly received,
and with no more honors than due to a common
Mexican General. Ho left immeditely for hisT
estate, Mango do Clavo.
The ejection returns for President were.
Anastacio Bustamente, 67 votes.
Mamucl Gomez Pedrara, 6 “
Nicolas Bravo, 3 “
Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna, 3 “
The government stands in contract with the
houses of Rubio, Pedro do la Quintana, Echava
ria and others, for a loan of two millions of dol
lars, payable half in cash, half in paper.
The above houses furnish monthly $300,000
against the revenues of the custom houses of Mala
moras and Tampico.
General Bustamcnte, wo arc informed, by pri
vate letters, had ai rived at the* Rio del Norte,
where the army is now stationed, and takes the
command in conjunction with Bravo.
Santa Anna, on his arrival at Vera Cruz, ad
dressed the people, and assured them that his lib
eration was not owing to bribery, or to any thing
. derogatory to the Mexican people, but purely to f
' Who goodness of General Houston. J
the Orintholooist. —It is with
much pleasure we announce the arrival of this
gentleman among us. He leaves here shortly
in one of the cutters which our government has
generously put at his disposal, to examine all the
coast and inlets of our stale as far as the Sabine,
to procure now specimens of birds, &c, to add to
those which ho has already procured in the Uni
ted States.
Wo regret that Mr. A’s short stay precludes our
citizens the pleasure of offering him a testimonial
of their regard at the present time, while it gives
us much pleasure to state that it is his intention
to return amongst us in about two months, when
our citizens will be afforded an opportunity of
tendering that tribute of esteem which his talents
and exertions in science eminently entitle him
to. — I bid.

STARTLING FACTS.
The following is an extract from the Re
port of Mr. Wise's Committee, to examine
into the Executive Departments —
« Notwithstanding the Committee refused
to inquire into the appointment, and removal ol
officers, yet several instances of returning cor
rupt and fraudulent officers,whose malfeisance
was made known to the President and Heads
; of Departments, have been proved beyond ca
, vil or dispute.
The clearest case of this kind, and there
. could be none clearer, is the case of Joseph
; W. Reckless, a collector at Perth Amboy,
s New Jersey. He was charged, on the third
■ of January, 1835, with the grossest official
i misconduct, as a Collactor. The charges
- were, of erabazzlemor.t and fraud, and the spe
) cifications were made. His excuses and apo
logies for his misconduct were proved to bo
1 knowingly and wilfully false, before a com
missioner appointed by the Department, to
1 take depositions in the case, and to report
s thereon. He actually confessed himself to
f be guilty of th : most serious charge of fraud,
! and offered no testimony or excuse, which
could, in any respect, be considered as excul
patory or in paliation. The evidence was
fully reported, to the Department. A most
false and exparte abstract of that testimony
e was laid before the President, by the Secreta
“ ry of the Treasury, containing scarcely any ol
1 the evidence, on one oftho main charges,and
S only the exculpatory testimony on another.
° The President, however, as proved by the Sec
t retary, and by Mr. Pearce, read all the eyi
' deuce in the case—and yet he made a decis
ion, in flagrant contradiction to the testimony
v of uno of the witnesses, (Brinly,) making him
is acknowledge what he expressly testified to
ir tlio contrary of—found that to be merely nre
2ular, which was proved and confesssd to have
a been corrupt; and wfcat was more shocking
t still to all moral sense, he acquitted the officer
e and yet ordered him to pay back the money
y which he had embezzled and defnndodthe
government of, according to an account there
ic 0 f by the comptroller. The amount involved
r- m this case was small, being only sumo three
or four hundred dollars. But thongliit was
is but nutty larceny in the inferior officer, it was
the grandest dereliction of duty, and injustice
0 tolhe government, on the part of hissupen
-10 ors, President and Secretary. (See the en
> r tiro testimony of the Honorah.e, James 1 ark.
’ c er and Win. Hook, Esq. contained m the
printed Journal hereto appended, pages 1-9
le 18S inclusive. See also the testimony of
of the lten G D. Wall, and Hon. D. J Pearce.)
13 This officer was detained in place, it is hardly
13 necessary to add—is, and was as stated by
„ Mr. Parker, verbally, a warm and active par
iJ tizan of the present and coming admntglra
y tion, taking a zealous part m political moct
,r. inf r 8 and arrangements in New Jersey.
Another case of precisely similar character
Was proved in the instance of retaining a land
ao receiver, Spencer, at Fort Wayne Indian,
p. after he had been proved guilty of official
I’t neglect in not making his depositee, ol ret am
ir- jng balances duo the Governmcl for unreaso u
vn ble periods of time, of receiving prohibited
Bank notes of the drnominotion of five dollars,
and of shaving the money brought to his office
to purchase the public lands. (See printed
documents appended to the testimony of the
Hun. Bade Peyton, and his statement in rela
tion thereto, hereto appended.)
Another instance is the case of Samuel
Gvvin, a register of the Land Office in Missis
sippi, who has been repeatedly charged with
the grossest official misconduct and violation
oftho law in purchasing land at sales of the
public lands under his superintendence; of
which the President has boon informed by a
reapoiisiblt person, and yet no inquiry even
into his conduct has boon instituted. (See
the testimony of the Hon. B. Peyton, hereto
appended.)
A most flagrant instance of retaining an
incompetent officer is proved in the case of
Herring, who was at the head of the Indian
bureau. He was considered so incompetent
by the Secretary of War, that the Secretary
sought at the session of 1831—’3'2 to caeate
a now officer, that of Commissioner of Indian
Affairs, in order to supercede Mr. Herring
or to take the superintendance of those affairs,
from his care. He, Herring, was then receiv
ing a salary of fourteen or sixteen hundred
dollars; the Commisionor of Indian affairs was
to receive !S3OOO per annum. The Secretary
applied to the respective Chairmen of the two
Committees on Indian Affairs of the Senate
and House to have the law which lie drafted,
passed creating the new office. The Chair
man of the Senate’s Committee objected a
mong other reasons, that if created, it might
bo tilled with an incapable person. Pledge
was given that it should he well filled.
The office was created, and the same Mr.
Herring was promoted to fill it by lhe Presi
dent. (Sec the testimony of the Honorable
rL L. White and John 8011.
And it will bo found on a strict examina
tion of all the testimony, that not only have
prostituted political partizans; as in the case
of Hooker, been appointed to office—that
faithful and efficient officers, as in the rase of
Melville, have been removed from office tor
opinion’s sake or the want of political influ
ence—that faithless, and fraudulent, and cor
rupt officers, as Reckless, Spencer and Gwinn,
mid incompetent officers, as Herring, have
been retained in office after a full knowledge
of their corruption and incompetently by the
President and Heads of Depaitmenls; but
that an officer has been paid for services ho
never rendered, has been appointed for months
before he enteroij on tho duties of lus office
served during a part of that time in tho Slate,
Legislature of Vermont, thus holding a State
and Federal office at the same time in viola
tion of the State constitution, (see the consti
tution of the State of Vermont;) that all these
facts were known to tho head oftho Depart
ment when he allowed tho account, and that
the account itself was permitted to ho filed in
such form as to conceal and suppress these
facts, and to suggest on its face reasons for
allowing it which could not bo proved by the
person to whom it was allowed.— Alexandria
Gazelle,
From the New York Herald.
THE LOAFERS IN THE FIELD.
'• A time, when all the body’s members
Rebelled against tho belly.”— Conoilamu.
[ignorance, folly, ambition, discontent, vul
garity, are the same in every land—the same
under any form of government. There is no
period of public prosperity that is not atten
ded with some degree of evil—all classes of
the people are nut equally content—not equal
ly successful, not equally industrious. The
last two years in litis city have been years ot
great prosperity, and groat derangement—
great profits, and great losses—great excite
ment, and great discontent. There lias been
a general agitation in every branch of indus
try, and as in other counties and other lands,
tho worst materials of human nature have floa
ted for a time on the top. _ After boiling over
for many months, tho whole body of the loa
fers in New York have held their usual riots
and meetings, and are now organized as a
political party determined to “ dross the com
monwealth, and put a new nap upon it.”
Geo. I tell thee, Jack Cade, tho clothier
means to dress the commonwealth, and turn
it, and set a new nap upon it.
John. So ho had need, for ’tis threadbare.
Well, I say, it was never n merry world in
England, since gentlemen came up.
Creo. O miserable ago*! Virtue is not re
garded in handicraftsmen.
John. The nobility think scorn to go in
leather aprons.
The loafers are organised. Wo have Ming,
and Jacques, and Slam, and Bang, and Dang,
and Hang, and Strang, and Fudge, and Budge,
and Grudge, and we do not know how many
thousand more, all in the field, drumming and
fifeing—determined to reform society—and
set a new face upon the world around them.
The loafers are organized. They arc born
with teeth, like Richard. Their pains of par
turition were awful, as Eh Hart &. Go’s flour
store can tell. Having signalized the begin
ning of their great reform with an original
measure to bring down the price' of flour by
pouring it into the street, they are now deter
mined to carry the world by storm, put in a
loafer mayor, and a loafer city government,
and to change the whole face of society in a
little loss than no time. In every ward they
arc holding meetings—denouncing the banks
and crying out against the miserable rich
devils, who know not the extacy of empty
pockets, or tho happiness of hungry bellies.
Sandy Ming and his patriots have entirely out
stripped Jack Cade and his rabble in the reign
of Henry VI.
Cade. Be brave then ; for your captain is
brave, and vows reformation. There shall
ho in England, seven half-penny loaves sold
fora penny ; the three-hopped pot shall have
hoops ; and I will make it felony to drink
small beer; all the realm shall he in common,
and in Cheaps do shall rny palfrey go to grusi.
And when I am kind (as king 1 will be)
All. God save your majesty !
Cade. I thank you, good people there
shall bo no money ; all shall cat and clnn*c on
my score ; and I will apparel them all in one
livery, that they may agree like brothers, and
worship me tiieir lord. ... ~ ,
Dick. The first thing wc do, let s kill all the
lawyers. „ ,
Our modern Jack Cade proposes the most
wonderful reforms. As soon as Ming and his
troops ofloafers have got hold ot the corpora
tion, us they mean to do, if they can keep so
her enough till that time, they intend to make
\ n , v York the great Athens ofmodern times
l_tho crodlikecity oftho west—the head quar
ters of'mid, silver, and beef at a cent per
pound, ° All the flour is to be sold nt §5 a
barrel immediately, and what they dont want
is to be thrown into the r.ver as useless. The
loafer Mayor will take immediate possession
oftho City Hall, live day and night there, have
his cooks'and kitchen under way, and deal
out soup and roast beef to the people without
stint, and in largo ladlefnls. There will he
sjlonous limes in the Park and Battery, bleep
incr on the graad ami eating fat beef, will be
ai?their employment. Wall street is to be
boarded up, or lot for a plot to grow cabbages
• and parsley iu. All the hanks and bank char
ters will then como to a close—monopoly
will cease forever, Sandy Ming the great
1 loafer and Jack Cade of the day, has decreed
damnation to all the hanks and bank currency
in the country. The paper currency will be
1 taken and used fur lighting the sugars of the
loafer aldermen who, a? soon as elected, will
each get a new pair of breeches from some
slop shop, that will be taken under charge, as
Hart’s flour store was. For the first time the
banks in Wall street will then shell out spe
cie—not in handfuls—hut in shovelfuls. The
eagles, half eagles quarter eagles, dollars,
and half dollars, will bo running up and (low*
Wall street, and absolutely of their a n ac
cord, going into tho pockets of the groat loaf
er roibrmors.
A groat reform will also take place in tho
prisons ami courts of justice, thug Sing,
Bellevue, Blackwell’s Island, tho city jail, will
all give up their tenants, who will thencefor
ward ho the great loafer lords of the city, and
do nothing but promenade Broadway each
with a joint of cold meat and a jack-knife in
their hands eating. The Judges, Police Jus
tices, Officers ami all Constables will bo clap
ped into the Penitentiary, and sot to earn an
honest living, cither by picking oakum or ham
mcriiig stone. Most glorious times for thieves
pickpockets, rogues, rioters, and loafers! —
They wont steal any more, for they will have
no need of it. They will never again pick
pockets, for all the pockets of their rich ras
cals in the city will have been picked in the
first week of the new dynasty and thcrojwill
be nothing to pick afterwards.
The Washington and Fulton markets will
ho also reformed. In three days after tho
Loafer Mayor and Corporation are in power,
largo fires will bn erected around the mark
ets, hung with kettles tilled with fat beef for
the loafers around to eat and bo joyful. The
ms: ket women and the butchers, tor the legit
prices, will be turned out ol their precincts
neck and heels, and thence into tho peniten
tiary, states prison, or either of the rivers, just
as they choose, or according to (he room and
convenience.
But we must stop, It is utterly impossible
to enumerate all tho great changes that, will
take place when the Loafer ticket, aided by
the Hamblin gang, will succeed in New York.
At this moment there is a complete union bo
■ tween these precious squads of hickens. The
penny organ of tho Loafers is managed by one
of the convicts of that famous gang, and tho
, promulgamator of the principles, as they cull
: their ridiculous notions on hunks and ettrron
i cy, are its daily topics and constant theme,
i Perhaps in no country was there over a sot
of men that attempted to reach political pow
i or, so utterly destitute of knowledge, com
i mon sense, public decency, ordinary talent,
i or the common attributes of practical wisdom
, as tho Loafer or Locofoco party. The ridi
i cttlous trash that are found in rags on the
■ wharves sticking at the bung holes of barrels
. —or sleeping on tho market stoops in snin
■ mer—or snoozing in the Park or Battery in
• June evenings, have at least boon collected
, together by the prime loafers, Ming & Co.
and by means of tho printers and Editors of
litc Hamblin gang, have elevated themselves
■ into a party, ibr the express purpose of do
i tnolisliing all tho institutions of commerce
and all the sources of our prosperity. Riot
is organized—the mob is drilled—and the un
sentonced convicts of the Court of Sessions
are its advocates and supporters. These are
tho men and the party that are hereafter to
give law to New York, jf they can deceive a
majority of the respectable voters of this
country with their charlatanism. Wo doubt
: their success—at least wc shall do all we can
i to open the eyes oftho community. New
• York is not yol ready to be governed by loaf
f ere and convicts.
, The Automaton Clio* Player. Tltc
j. Mystery Unravelled,
This automaton was invented and first ex
hibited nt Presburgh by Baron Kempelen, in
, 1770. The mystery remained a long time im
penetrable. Master of its secret, the automa
ton visited tho capitals ofGermany and France;
[ every where it was received with extreme cu
riosity, and often excited transports of surprise
. and admiration. Arriving in Paris in 1785,
5 his star became dun before the selcbrated play-
ers of the Regent Coffee House. But one
can without shame, acknowledge themselves
conquerrcJ by the Philidors, ami the Legale,
f and yol have a brilliant career to run. On its
, return to Berlin, the automaton coal longed all
the Lords of the court of the great Frede
ric, and was even admitted to the honor of
| playing with this prince, a great aractour of
chess. In a moment of enthusiasm, Frcdo
, ric, at a great expense, became master of the
machine and its secret; a minute account de
! veloped to him all the mistcrics of litis inno
cent magic. From that time tho delusion
vanished; the automaton dethroned, disdained,
1 covered with dust, was exiled to an obscure '
apartment of the palace, where it remained
I nearly thirty years hidden and forgotten. It
owes its resurrection, in part, to the presence
j of Naoolcan at Berlin. It was taken from
its obscurity, recovered its former splendor,
and proud of having triumphed over the con*
quoror of Auslerliz, it again commenced its
. travels. London and Paris received it with
renewed pleasure. Wo will pass “apidly
over some years of the adventurous life of our
hero. Accompanied by an exhibitor educa
ted in the school of Mr. Kempelen, and al
ways wonderfully aided by Ids directing pow
er, without which it could not move a step,
the automaton sought eagerly every occasion
to distinguish itself, and never quitted the ■
battle field without being able to say with
Ceaser: Veni, vidi, vici. At length, prcco- |
dod by an unprecedented reputation, it arri
ved at tiie court of Bavaria. There the as
tonishment and enthusiam winch its play no- (
ver (ailed to excite, were renewed. So great (
was the impression it made, that Piinco Eu-
ginc could not resist the temptation ol be-
coming possessor of this chief d’ muvre, and
to be initiated in tho occult science Which ,
performed so many wonders. This wish was .
gratified ; and tho price of his initiation was ■
fixed at tho sum of thirty thousand francs.
The time was now at hand when tho veil was
to bo raised, when ho was to know tins invisi- '
ble genius, this superior intelligence which j
ruled the chess-board. Ho was left alone
with the exhibitor, who, for the whole explan- j
ation opened botli doors of the machine at (
once ; the wheels had disappeared; a man, a
true chess player occupied their place. He
was scaled upon a low cricket with rollers,
and seemed very ill at case. We can judge
what at this sight was the disenchantment of
tho new purchaser. The solution of the
principal problem was reduced to a mere jug
gler’s trick. These levers, these cog wheels ,
this cylinder were but thin paper cuttings, ,
placed on partitions and removed at will. i
Whilst the examination of the interior rno- <
chan ism took place, as the doors only opened j
one after another, the player was concealed (
in the back of the automaton, his limbs folded |
j under him, sometimes leaning to the opposite ,
side, with his head down and Ilia hands before
' him; ho thus by turns hid himself as the
j doors opened alternately. One or two rope
. titions were sufficient to habituate him to this
exercise, and to teach him first to turn the
[ cr ank for ducting the arm of the automaton,
. then to put in motion the clastic spring which
, was to move the fingers; and last, to pull the
' cord that the automaton might give utterance
to tho word chock. The player is lighted in
' his box by a taper, and has before him a chess
■. hoard on which all the squares are numbered:
, another chess-board likewise numbered, is
II placed in the ceiling above his head, and forms
■ the reverse of that upon which the automaton
P plays. The pccics strongly magnetised at
their base, by their attraction open some little
traps adapted to each square of this hack
hoard. The player attentive to the rise and
fall of these traps, knows precisely the move
played by his adversary ; he immediately re
peats this move upon Ins own chess-board;
plays his own move and causes it afterwards
to bo done by the automaton. Tho ingenious
means invented to establish a connection be
tween tho exterior ami interior of the machine
alone, fixed the attention of tho prince ; per
haps ho found ho had paid too dear for the
secret. He said nothing, and oven amused
himself a while in tho presence of some inti
mate friends in playing the part of exhibitor.
But that lie might enjoy 1 is knowledge for a
length of time, it was necessary that a skilful
player should be employed which would have
soon opened all eyes and given a key to tho
enigma. The prince found himself reduced
to this alternative; either to employ this skil
ful player or again to condemn the automaton
to obscurity. He was uncertain what part to
take, when Mr. M—e—l, that skilful mochan
ist, who separated himself with regret from
his deloved pupil, asked the favor to continue
the exhibition of its brilliant talents, engaging
to pay the interest of the sum disbursed. This
proposition was accepted, and Mr. M—o—l,
loft Bavaria and exit hited the automaton with
groat success, lie was received in Franco
and England like an old acquaintance of whom
we just retain a recollection; it seemed to
have renewed its youth, nliheugh the roiti of
sorcerers had passed away, it still possosssod
the power to fascinate every eye; in more
simple language, it always astonished by the
ingenuity of its machinery, and the skill of its
concealed player. To ono or two celebrated
players was confided the internal direction ot
the automaton ; Mr. B—t in Paris, and Mr.
I, —w —a in London, made it triumph without
difficulty over all whojprcaontcd themselves for
combat; when Mr. M —e—l formed the plan
ot working on the curiosity ol scvcrr.l cities
in England, Scotland nml Holland, whore tho
automaton had never been. To accomplish
that design, it was necessary to have the as
sisloncc of a travelling companion who had a
superior knowledge of chess ; ho proposed
this plan to Mr. M., a very amiable ami lively
man, who consented to accompany him, ami
become his associate in the benefits of tho en
terprise. The most complete success sig-’
nalized the course of our travellers. Wherever
they pitched their touts, spectators gathered
iu crowds to witness the combat, Tho auto
maton, like a chevalier in a tournament, of
fered to his antagonist the advantages of arms
and ground, that is to say, in the language of
chess, tho pawn am! fust move, notwithstand
ing which ho was always successful.
The speculation was profitable ; a perfect
harmony existed between tho associates,
whoso accounts were regularly soulcd with
scrupulous exactness. After a while, howev
er, Mr. M---o— 1 owed the player a largo
sum of which under different pretexts, he de
layed the payment from week to week and
month to month. A year thus passed away,
and Mr. M—o—l refused to settle the ac
count, when M.—l found an infaloblo moans
to decide it. The automaton was then in
Amsterdam; the King of Holland had early in
the morning engaged a fourth partol the hall
and paid lor it a sum iu florins equivalent to
30,000 francs; Mr. M.—o—l ran to announce
this news to his associate. They breakfasted
gaily together ; Mr. M—c—l hastened to
make the necessary preparations to receive
tho King ; tho assembly wore to meet at half
past twelve; twelve struck, nml tho player who
should have been in the machine is not yet.
at Ilia post; Mr. M—e—l, out of patience,
went to inquire the cause of this dsluy. What
is his astonishment to find Mr. M—t in bed,
and trembling as with an ague fit. What do
I see'! What is tho matter! I have a fever.
What is that you say? you wore well enough
an hour since. Yes it is a thunder stroke.
The King will come. He will go away again
What shall I say to him.7 That the atonm
tion has a lover—A truce to your jokes. It is
no laughing matter. Tho receipts ycro never
better. Return the money. 1 pray you get
up. Impossible. I will go call a physician.
Useless. Is there then no moans of prevent
ing this fever! Yes; one only—it is to pay
mo the 1500 francs you owe me. Well ho it
so this evening! No—no—this moment.
Mr. M—e—l seeing no other alterative wont
tor tho money.—Tito euro was wonderful, the
automaton never piayed better. Tho King did
not play, only ho advised his minister of war,
who played fur him, Tho coalition were bea
ten ; but tho defeat was laid entirely to the ac
count of the responsible minister. Tho expe
dition of onr travellers had scarcely tormina
ted, when Mr. M—o— 1 engaged a player,to
go with him to America. A young man, a na
tive of Mulliousen,a pupil oftho best players
in the Regent Coffee House, was this lime
chosen fur confidant. Tho exhibitor taught
him the art of concealing himself, and above
all, not to make the least noise which would
excite suspicion; ami finished his instructions
with those words. "If you should hear lire
cried, don’t move, 1 will como to your aid."
The following anecdote, it is said, determined
Mr M—o—l to give this advice to those ho
initialed. In some of his early travels, ho
was at. a Gorman city, where was a celebrated
juggler, a pupil of the Conus, ami Pinotts giv
ing exhibitions. The automaton soon cclips
cd°tljo juggler, who piqued, and jealous, went
to see his rival; guessed the secret, and aided
by a confederate, all of a sudden cried “lire.”
We can judge the alarm of the spectators;
the automaton in his fright pushed his adver
sary over ami rolled and turned himself about,
he seemed to have become crazy. Fortu
nately Mr. M—c— 1 had presence of mind
enough to push the machine behind a curtain,
when it soon became calm. Tho trick of the
juggler was soon discovered, hut did him no
good. His rival still boro away the palm.
The automaton has spent many years in North
America; he has visited successively the
principal cities of the United Stales ami Ca
nada, he is now exercising his talents in South
America. We hopotosoe an account of his
travels in the I’alatncde, a Monthly Review
of Chess, published by Messrs. Bonrbonnaye
& Mery.—[Translated for the Advertiser,
