FROM OUR F*l MOUTH CORRESPONDENT. Falmouth, Sunday Afternoon, March 23. The Lord of the Isle steamer arriv’d hete thisj forenoon from Vigo, with several passengers, bv her we have received full confirmation of the news relative to an attempt, on the 4th inst. on the part of Don Miguels forces tc take the Foz, anti of their being repelled with considera ble loss. From conversation with some of the passengers, who left Oporto on the 9th, we learn that M; nlius had landed 400 troops, that a great quantity of provisions had also been landed. The accounts which they give of the st te of Oporto are by no means so gloomy as had been represented in the London papers. Although a scarcity of fresh provisions had been much felt, yet there were at least suffi cient supplies of fish, salt meat, rice, and oil, for three months subsistence. In fine weather the landing of provisions from vessels olf Opor to could be effected without difficulty, particu larly at night. The Lord of the Isle left Vi go on the 27th, at which time the squadron of admiral Sai toi ions was lying there. The dis satisfaction which had prevailed had, in a great measure, subsided, and the ships were in the most effective state, and only waited the settle ment of the weather to proceed to sea. It appears to be the decided opinion of those who came from Oporto in this steamer that it is quite impossible for Don Miguel to take Oporto; and on the other hand, tha- Don Pe dro’s only chance of success is by a well nun aged and vigorous attack on Miguel’s forces, so- which it is slated, active preparations were go'ng on. Extract of a letter from Smyrna, dated Feb. 20:—“On the evening of the 18th inst. our town surrendeied to Ibrahim Pacha, who mere ly sent an officer to ask our Governor to give up the town, which was immediately done. All the neighboring townsare under the govern ment of Ibraham P icha. Sundry inland duties have been taken off, and the people appear to be in fa/or of the new government. It is said that in a few days we sh dl have a small ar my of 1,000 men here. The town remains tranquil, and property perfectly safe, not the least alarm exists. All payments due this post have been suspended by arrangement.” LATE FROM MATANZAS. Newport, April 29. The ship Boy, Capt. Pitman, arrived here yesterday in 13 days from Matanzas. Capt. P. informs that the Cholera was raging there to a frightful extent; the deaths were said to be upwards of 100 daily, but such was the state of alarm, that no accurate information could be obtained. All business was suspended, and the communication with the country was entire ly cut off. Matanzas, April 12. “The Cholera is raging here with much fu ry; it is impossible to form any correct opinion of its ravages, 4 *’ ave endeavored to ( j o so j even question when the government itself returns of the number of interments: of the number of cases I know it has not, for 1 beard one of the most eminent physicians sa y to-day, he had not had time to report for a W p>k past. Business is almost paralized, and .11 who could leave the city have done so; there are some cases in tho country, some plantations having suffered severely. “Two cargoes of slaves, over 1000, arrived a few days since, one of them lande.i her cargo Somh of the, Matanzas, on the other side, all of whom died, alfho’ I. tided in perfect health; and the oilier, a few leagues to leeward of this, the most of whom are dead, and the residue dying. “I received r. latter to-day from II rvana, dated the 10th inst. which states, that the num ber of deaths by Cholera the d-<y before, was only 10—but adds, that it had broken out on esiales to the southward, and unless soon check ed, must ruin the planters.” The following intelligence from Bombay, dated Nov. 2. was received at Salem by an ar rival from that port, it states that the people of Cuttuck in the district of Balasore, are suffer ing the utmost distress for want of food, in con sequence of the destruction of their corps by the inundation which occurred in October, 1831. About 200 are said to have died of starvation, and the survivors are s.iid to be suffering all the horrors of famine. Many distinguished Eng lish gentlemen, and some worthy and compas sionate Hindoos, and other native residents of Calcutta, have made a subscription, and bought a quantity of rice, which they have sent tc Cut tuck, to be distributed gratis among the poor people. The government also had despatched a small ship laden with the same article, not however, to be given away, in charity, to the starving population, but to be sold at cost ’ variety. GRA MAT ICA LSMOKING. As it is customary with cigar smokers to re late the news of the day with cigars in their mouths, and as the generality of smokers make an awkward appearance in consequence of ■ not understanding the theory of punctuation, in I smoking; the following system is recommended: I a single puff serves for a comma (,) pull, pull a semicolon (;) puff, puff, puff, a colon (.) puff, puff, puff, puff, a period, (.) A pause, with a ci gar kept in the mouih, represents a dash, ( ) longer or shorter in continuance. With the under lip raise the cigar almost against the nose for an exclamation, (!)— -and to express great , emotion, even to the shedding of tears, raise as before the cigar to the end of the nose. For an inte:rogation, (?)it is only neccessaiy to open the lips, and draw the cigar round the cor ner of the mouth. Taking the cigar from the mouth, and shaking the ashes f.omthe end is the conclusion of a paragraph; (fl) and throw ing it into the fne finishes the section. (§) Never begin a story with a half smoked cigar, for to light another while conversing, is not only a breach of politeness: but interferes with the a bove svstem of punctuation, which destroy all energy and harmony of expression. INTERESTING INCIDENT. ' The following curious fact is reported by a ’ • gentleman from the Western part of the State. | j In August last, a young gentleman in company I with his sister and her husband, visited Niaga jra Falls. While rambling round the treinen [•’ dnons scene, where the sublime and the teni t ble predominate over all other sentiments, he I undertook to seek in a wild spirit of adventure, , 1 a new’ view of the cataract, from a position un der the Table Rock and about half way down the precipice. Disregarding the remonstrar ces of his friends he was treading tiie edge of the cliff, which overhung the gulf of raging waters, when his foot slipped upon the spray wet moss, and he fell upon one knee on the very brink. He saved himself only by catch ’ mg at a large shrub. Tne roots upon the fur ’ ther side gave way, and while endeavoring to ; maintain his balance by seizing hold of the moss and slender roots, he discovered in a crevice • ' from which he had torn die shrub, eight Span " ish dollars, of tjn ancient date, whose sleep of • ages was thus most unceremoniously dis u.-bed. J After securing his prize, he extricated himself • from his perilous situation, and rejoined his ■ friends. s Upon this incident, Mr. Fisher has executed ’ a painting, including a view o! a part of the 5 Falls and taking, veiy judiciously, the moment ■ when the shrub gives way, and the hidden 5 money is unearthed. — Boston Courier. t CAPE DE VERD SUFFERERS. The exrent and degree ol the suffering endured by the hapless people of the De Ver.ls, may lie imagined from the fact, that the population of the Island amounted to 33.4G0 persons; and that out of this, in the course of the year 1332,30,500 per , sons died of starvation. It is alleJged th it the ac count, instead of being exaggerated. <io?a not m elude the whole number—-many having die-d in tie J fields, many being devoured by the dogs, and 5 some even by their own frantic fellow sutierers!— * This picture of horror is unparalleled *n the an s nals of the human race. J - FOSSIL FOREST DISCOVERED AT ROME. An interesting discovery has been made by a pedestrian tourist, Dr. Weatherhead, if.we are not misinformed, in the immediate vicinity tJ of Rome, a discription of which is given in tho t Edinburg Philosophical Journal of the Scienc ■ t for this month—namely, that of a fossil under , ground forest, above 40 feet in thickness and ’ extending for several miles. The petrific s matter is a calesinter, and the discoverer ui j this colossal phenomenon in the natural his j tory is of opinion that it has been occasion .. ed by an eatthquake, the memory of which is s lost—probably long prior to the foundation ol Rome. Not less singular than the phenome non itself, is the circumstance of i’s ha dug es- ! caped the observance of the scientific for so j i many ages.— Tablet.

'* I Yesterday a pretty, dark eyed girl applied fora ■ warrant tom.*- fohe swici. she had en , I couraged the courtship of a young man until she . j recently discovered that it would not lie to her advan tage to marry him.

I WALLED IT ALIVE. Apparatus has lately been constructed in Bramp ton church for the purpose of warming it wish hot air.and as is customary, in order tu guard against accidents by tire, a wall was built around the furnace. The man employed in the structure, which is formed of bricks and Roman cement, continued steadily at his work by the light of a candle untd it was completed. And it was not till tie insetted the] st brick, and was perfectly “built in.” as ever an unhappy martyr in the days of persecution, that ■ he discovered his error, and remembered that he was woiking within the circle instead of out. His first impulse was to pull out the last few brick and thus make himself a place of exit; but it was now too late, the cement bad already hardened, and defied all his efforts to undo what he had once done. In this dilemma he remained for a consid- ( erable time, calling in vain for help.—His pitiable situation was at length discovered by one of the 1 church wardens and the sexton, who, after cosidcr j able difficulty succeeded in extricating him from J his imprisonment.— English Paper. THE INDIAN WAR OVER. A letter from a gentleman at Peoria, dated on Thursday, the 11th inst. says: “The inhabitants on the frontier are gaining confidence, and will soon return to their homes. Il is altogether a ground less alarm.” W e copy the following fiom the Galcnian of the 2d in corroboration of this statement: “On Friday last we saw Mr John Doughberry, a trader, who has lived with tlie Winnebagoes all win ter, and who married a half breed, who said that Whirling Thunder, was at his house, on Sugar Creek, when he left home, that he had conversed with him and all the principle chiefs of the Rock river bend, and that he was positively certain, that no hostile intentions were entertained by any of them; that he would pledge his head that the Winnebagoes would not disturb the peace, but that if attacked they would defend themselves— And to convince the publick of tho correctness of t his assertions, he will bring all the principle chiefs [into Galena in eight days, to speak tor tyem [selves.” i As a further evidence of the friendly disposition of the Indians, we give the following communication i made to the editor oflhe Galenian, by John 11. ■ Kinz e, Mr. fcinzie had just returned from a trip to Chic ago, and had travelled through the Winnebagoes and Pottawatomie country. ‘ From my persona.'knowledge of the present feelings of the Indians, arid the assurance ol some respectable traders among those tribes named, I can confidently state that there is not the least ground for danger or alarm—that the Indians had never expressed a greater desire to remain at peace and to cultivate a better understanding than at the present time. The Winnebagoes under this agency arc very much alarmed by the repmts put in circulation by our people. They come to me every day, to hear the news, and to reiterate their wish to remain at peace with the whites; and that they may be permitted to cultivate their fields with out molestation. “The Indians are i.i a state of demi-starvation. Many have been obliged to subsist on acorns, and ' were it not for the issues of provisions to them, oc casionally, by their respective agents, many would ceitainlv have perished.” We would here again express an opinion— ; founded upon all the evidence that we have been able to obtain on the subject—that there is no thing more improbable than an Indian war the pre sent spring. We are satisfied that the “mystery” which is made to hang around the movements of the Indians., is caused by their extreme fear of the whites, who, they believe are seeking an occasion to make war upon them. We regard the recent gioundless alarm as unfortunate for our iState.— ’e feai that it will be made use of by designing men to check the current of emigration now setting rapidly for this country. — San.

The effort was very happy, and was received bv repeated bursts of applause. We hope ihat Judge Wayne will consent to pen down the substance of his remarks for the press. UNION DEMOCRATIC MEETING. At a large meeting of Union Democratic Ki pubHearts, Iroin all parts of Georgia, composed of members of the State Convention and others, who are opposed to the Nullification doctrines of South-Carolina, and who believe in tiie prin ciples, as explained by Mr. Madison, which brought the Republican party into power in 1801, and who sustain the administration of An drew Jackson —agreeably to previous notice, convened in the Representative Hall, on 1 ues day evening, May 14, 1533. i On motion of Dr. N.
