What think you of this brilliant Count de Pehf—? he has been at Court only a fort- nigh), and already all the-women arc in love without constraint, his newly found happiness. The first three years were happy ones : the birth of two children still increased their fe licity. The Count lived in the closest se clusion, visiting neither relations nor friends, nor permitting any one to enter the castle. His wife, without having any open ground of complaint, found him cold, reserved, and so vere; a gloomy frown frequently settled upon his features. Although he never spoke a harsh word to, or struck one of his vassals, they always retired from, or trembled at his appearance. He had but one pleasure, which was the chase ; in all seasons of the year he gave himself up to it with equal and indefati gable ardor. The deer was his favorite ob- Ile was extremely dissatis- css’ beautiful body was no longer but one horrible ulcer, furrowed as it was by her hus band’s dagger—although the wounds were not deep (the monster with a refinement of di abolical cruelty, taking especial care they should not be mortal) yet they were so nu merous that they threw the poor victim hito a violent fever, and her life was in imminent danger. The Count after much indecision, determined to call in the surgeon, after anew threatening his wife with the whole weight of his vengeance, if she betrayed his infernal secret, and strictly enjoining the surgeon not to endeavor to find out the cause of his pa tient’s illness. He, like every body else in the castle, imagined the Countess to be in ■with him. It is seldom you see so much grace and noblcnt- ;s united to wit and learn-1 ject of pursuit, ing.

The last Piiiladelphia papers bring the sad intelligence of the death of the uprig.it, honorable, and chivalrous officer, Commodore William Bainbridge, of the Navy of the United States. For several years past afflic ted by a lingering disease, the news of his death has caused more pain than surprise.— We had been prepared for it, iadeed, by the accounts of the state of his health in which he had returned from the Eastern States to Philadelphia, with the obvious desire to breathe his last in that city. We may be permitted, however, yet to express our sor row for an event which has deprived the country of one of its best citizens, and the Naval Service of one of its brightest orna ments. Commodore Bainbridge was in his sixti eth year, and might have been spared to us for many to come, hut for distressing com plaints contracted in the service, which fi. nally terminated his valuable life. He was a native of Princeton, in New Jersey, and was An Electric Eel.—I was standing in the gallery of a house belonging to a half pay of ficer (now a planter) when I observed a large jar in the garden: I enquired what it contain ed, and was told an electric eel, “ but,” said my friend, “ I have had it a long time, it is sickly, and has entirely lost its electrifying powers.” I went to examine it, and saw a brown, flat headed broad tailed eel, four or five feet long, with a look of “ noli me tangcrc,” moving slowly round the inside of the jar. The planter then taking up a piece of an old iron hoop, said in an offhanded manner, “If you touch him with this, you will perceive he has lost all his power.” I did so, and was nearly knocked flat on my back: the shock was most severe, though the eel did not ap pear to be the least agitated; of course my friend was highly delighted. Scenes of great diversion are occasioned among the English sailors who come to Sta- brook by electric cels ; they are told to bring them to be cooked. Jack bares his arm, and plunges his hand into the jar, and in a mo ment receives a shock which benumbs him; he looks round in wild amazement, and then at the cel, all the while rubbing his elbow. “Try again, Jack, for a bottle of rum;” he does so, grasps the cel firmly, grins and swears at “the beggar,” receives shock after shock, drops the cel in despair, and runs off as if the devil had struck him. A little dog was thrown into the jar one day, in which there was an electric cel, and was so paralyzed that it sunk helpless to the bottom, and was got out alive with some difficulty; and a horse that attempted to drink out of the jar was im mediately thrown back on its haunches, and galloped off with mane and tail on and snort ing with terror.—Alexander's Sketches. officers of the crown, covered with rich cm- inhabitants of the manor, but he had been | horn on the 7th day of May, 1774.

From that time (1793) to 1793, he commanded merchant ships in trade from Philadelphia to Europe ; during which peri od, in the small ship of Hope, with four small carriage guns and nine men, he had an en gagement with a British schooner of 8 guns and 35 men, commanded by a Sailing master in the Navy, and compelled her to strike her colors, though the two countries not being at war, he could not take possession of her. In July, 1798, he unexpectedly, and without any application on his part, received from the Executive an offer of a command in the rank of Lieutenant in the Navy. We shall not pretend to recapitulate liis subsequent servi ces. His capture by the grounding of the Opinions on Secession, &c.—In a letter to Mr. Carrington, in 1787, Mr. Jefferson said—« where two parties make a compact there results to each a power of compelling the other to execute it. Compulsion was never so easy as in our case, when a single frigate would soon levy on the commerce of any State, the deficiency of its contribution. In 1811, Mr. Jefferson said, in a letter to Mr. Tracy, “that certain States, from local and occasional discontents, might attempt to secede from the Union; but it is not probable that local discontents can spread to such an extent, as to be able to face the sound parts of so extensive a Union.” The editor, of the Richmond Enquirer, in 1814, held the following opinions: “ No man, no association of men, no State or set of States, has this right to withdraw it self from the Union of its own accord. The same power that knit us together, can only unknit. The same formality that forges the links of the Union is necessary to dissolve it. Until that consent has been obtained, any at tempt to dissolve the Union, or obstruct the efficacy of its constitutional laws, is Treason —Treason to all intents and purposes.” « Any other doctrine, such as that which has been lately held forth by the Federal Re publicans, that any one State may withdraw itself from the Union, is an abominable her esy.” . From Locke’s Miscellaneous Papers, published in bis Life, by Lord King. Thus I Think.—It is a man’s proper bu siness to seek happiness and avoid misery. Happiness consists in what delights and con. tents the mind ; misery in what disturbs, dis. composes, or torments it. I will therefore make it iny business to seek satisfaction and delight, and avoid uneasiness and disquiet; to have as much of the one and as little of the other as may be. But here I must have a care I mistake not; for if I prefer a short pleasure to a lasting one, it is plain I cross my own happiness. Let me then see wherein consists the most lasting pleasure of this life ; and that, as far as I can observe, is in these things. 1st. Health, without which no sensual (as opposed to intellectual) pleasure can have any relish. 2d. Reputation: for.that I find every body is pleased with; and. the wan: of it is a constant torment: 3d. Knowledge : for the little knowledge I have, I find I .would net sell at any rate, nor pari with for-any other pleasnre. 4th. Doing good : for I find the well-cook- qd meat I eat to-day does now no more de light me; nay, I am diseased after a lull meal. The perfumes I smeit yesterday now no more affect me with any pleasure; but the good turn did yesterday, a year, seven years since, contin ics still, to pleasure and delight me as often as I reflect on it. 5ih. The expectation of eternal and incom prehensihle happiness in another world, is that also which carries a constant pleasure with it. If, then, I will faithfully pursue that happi- jFomgn $l$m. ness I propose to myself, whatever pleasure offers itself to me, I must carefully look that it cross not any of those five great and con stant pleasures above mentioned. For ex ample, the fruit I see tempts me with the taste of it, that I love ; but if it endanger my health I part with a constant and lasting, for a very short and transient pleasure, and so foolishly make myself unhappy, and am not true to my own interest. Innocent diversions delight me. If I make use of them to refresh myself after study and business, they preserve my health, restore the vigor of my mind, and increase my pleas ure; but if I spend all, or the greater part of my time in them, they hinder my improve ment in knowledge and useful arts, they blast my credit, and give me up to the uneasy state of shame, ignorance, and contempt, in which I cannot but be very unhappy. Drink ing, gaming, and vicious delights will do me this mischief, not only by wasting my time- hut by a positive injury endangering my health impair my parts, imprint ill habits, lessen my esteem, and leave a constant lasting tor ment to my conscience ; therefore all vicious and unlawful pleasures I will always avoid because such a mastery of my passions will afford me a constant pleasure greater than any such enjoyments, and also deliver me from the certain evil of several kinds, that by indulging myself in a present temptation shall certainly afterwards suffer. All innocent diversions and delights, as far as they will contribute to my health, and con sistent with my improvement, condition, and my other more solid pleasures of knowledge and reputation, I will enjoy, but no farther and this I will carefully watch and examine that I may not be deceived by the'flattery a present pleasure to lose a greater. minute.

It may readily be .conceived that, after this reply, he was importuned no further. . The event of his life, however, which has most familiarized our readers to his name, was his gallant achievement of tho capture of the Frigate Java, on the 29th of December, 1812, being the third of those victories which established the character of the American Navy. The action was a severe one, am? among our wounded was the Commodore himself. The generosity of the victor to the vanquished covered him with as much glory as. his valor in battle; and for his honorable courtesy on that occasion, the gratitude of the prisoners was expressed in the most feeling manner. ° Since the conclusion of the war, Com. B. has commanded with great reputation and popularity at several Naval stations, and for resolutions. As they wore originally draft ed, the 7th resolution declared the Alien and Sedition acts “ unconstitutional, and not law,' bul wholly null and void, and of no effect”— On nation of Mr. Taylor of Caroline, who in troduced the resolution, the words in italics were striken out, without a division. Thus making it only the expression of opinion, and taking away its Nullifying features. This is the first fact.. The second is, that the third resolution, as reported, ran, “ that this As sembly doth explicitly and peremptorily de clare, that it views the powers of the Federal Government as resulting from the . compact, to which the States alone afe parties.” Upon the suggestion of Mr. Giles, the word. alone was stricken out. It had been contend ->d, that the people only, were parties to the com pact; and the resolution declared that the State, alone were parties. Mr. Giles said, “ the general government was partly of each kind,” and on this ground the word alone was stricken out. The doctrine of Nullification is based upon the assumption that the States are the only parties;. if the people are also parties, this air-built theory tumbles into at oms. Anecdote of Spurziieim—It is a curious fact which wc lcara from a note to Spurz heim’s Physiognomy, published by Marsh Capon and Lyon, that the deceased pliilantrho phist, when he visited the prison at Hartford last fall, poiuted out the two men who became the leaders in the late conspiracy and murder, as very bad criminals. Dr. Brigham, who was in company with him, says— “The negro, Crnsar Reynolds, who, from the testimony, it appears, actually committed the murder, he noticed, when at some dis tance, and remarked, «that negro interests me much,’ and begged the liberty of examining his head minutely : and after he had done sc, he said he had the best formation intellectual ly of any negro he ever saw, (and he was far superior to most blaqks,) but, stated that he was a wretched and dangerous man,. capable of doing any wickedness, and one that would persevere in injury.” The Warden has repeatedly assured me that Dr. S. gave the characters of many of the criminals, especially the noted ones, as correctly as he himself could who had long known them. The Albany Daily Advertiser seems to have been very successful in securing epi taphs ; among-them is one of a sailor who desired no other than the following to be in scribed on his tombstone: “Here I l»y as snuff.

TEN days LATER FROM ENGLAND. Our news-schooner Eclipse boarded yes terday oft* Rockawav, the packet ship Roscoe Capt. Rogers, and about three o’clock in the atcernoon wc received our files of Lon don and Liverpool papers brought by that ve% sel ; the dates of the former arc to the 24th, and of the latter to the 25th June, on which day the Ilcscoe sailed. The bill in relation to the emancipation of the siaves in the British Colonies having pass- ed the House of Commons, has been carried up to the House of Lords. Though its fato will not he finally settled until it h .s passed t e l .tter body, the rnouied interests ure already full ot speculations as to the means by which the twenty millions arc to be raised, that is to be given to the. planters as an indemnity. o settled plan seems however as yet form ed on this point. Tho mortgagees of West India estates and the absentee planters resi ding in England, seem satisfied with the bill as it has passed the House of Common^. It is very doubtful, however, whether it will bo received with the same cordiality in tho West Indies, for the resident planters do not simply complain of losing the value of their slaves, but allege that by emancipation they will lose the working power. Free labor they look upon as a dream. Tho claim of the planters is thus illustrated by a London Journal: “ If all the farming implements of a depen dent country were destroyed by some superior legislature without the possibility of replacing them, Me agriculturists might not bo fairly compensated if their compensation were esti mated by the selling price of ploughs, carts, and harrows before the general destruction.” We believe that tho whole scheme will mis- carry,-and that the Colonies will be in a flame after the twenty millions have been squeezed from the people of England. , A very unexpected concession has been made by the British Ministers, to the Opposi tion, in the progress of the Irish Church Re form Bill through the House of Commons. The bill contained ;l clause providing that tho produce of the sale of Bishops’’ leases after paying them their incomes, should be applied to such purposes as Parliament might think fit. Against this, the conservative party most vehemently protested. They maintain ed that the produce of the leases was ecclesi astical property, and ought to be applied on ly to ecclesiastical purposes. Tho majority possessed by that party in tho House of Lords placed it in their power to defeat the bill alto gether, and it is roundly asserted that this concession on the part of the Government is the result of a compromise with them. It appears highly probable. We regret to perceive that the French Chamber of Deputies has delayed till' anoth er session the discussion on the treaty with this country, and consequently that it has not made the appropriation required to enable the government to fulfil its engagements. Let ters of the 29th of June from Paris; say, that the present session was expected to close in four or five days. The Ministers of Louis Phillippe have expressed their determination to retain possession of Algiers, although tho Bourbon government which acquired it, de. dared to the British Administration, that their expedition was directed' by no view's of conquest. Earl Grey when questioned,on the subject, evaded expressing his opinion, by alleging that he had received no official in formation of such declaration on the part of the government of Louis Phillippe. From the Dublin Morning Register. ' Mr. O’Connell—Repeal.—A letter was received in town yesterday from Mr. O’Con nell, from which the subjoined is an extract: “ I know that any. rational discussion of the all-important question of repeal is impossible in this advanced and complicated slate of pub lic business.
