A WEEKLY PAPER,
PUBLISHED AT BRUNSWICK, GLYNN
COUNTY, GEORGIA.
The causes which render necessary the es
tablishment of this Press, and its claims to the
support of the public, can best be presented by
the statement, of a few facts.
Brunswick possesses a harbor, which for ac
cessibility, spaciousness and security, is une
qualled on the Southern Coast. This, of itself,
would he sufficient to render its growth rapid,
and its importance permanent; for the best
port South of the Potomac must become the
site of a great commercial city. But when to
this is added the singular salubrity of the cli
mafe, free from those noxious exhalations gen
erated by the union of salt and river w'aters,
and which are indeed “charnel airs” to a white
population, it must be admitted that Brunswick
contains all the requisites for a healthy and
populous city. Thus much has been the work
of Nature ; but already Art has begun to lend
her aid to this favored spot, and the industry of
man bids fair to increase its capacities, and
add to its importance a hundred fold. In a
few months, a canal will open to the harbor of
Brunswick the vast and fertile country through
w hich flow- the Altamaha, and its great tribu
taries. A Rail Road will shortly be commenc
ed, terminating at Pensacola, thus uniting the
waters of the Gulf of Mexico with the Atlantic
Ocean. Other Rail Roads intersecting the
State in various directions, will piuke Bruns
wick their depot, and a large portion of the
trade from the Valley of the Mississippi will
yet find its way to her wharves. Such, in a
few words, are the principal causes which will
operate in rendering Brunswick the principal
city of the South. But while its advantages
are so numerous and obvious, there have been
found individuals and presses prompted by sel
fish fears and interested motives, to oppose an
undertaking which must add so much to the
importance and prosperity of the State. Their
united powers are now applied to thwart in
every possible manner, this great public bene
fit- Misrepresentation and ridicule, invective
and denunciation have been heaped on Bruns
wick and its friends. To counteract these ef
forts by the publication and wide dissemination
of the stets—to present the cliims of Bruns
wick to the confidence alvd favor of the-public,
to furnish information relating to all the
great w’orks of Internal Improvement now go
ing on through the State, and to aid in devel
oping the resources of Georgia, will he the
leading objects of this Press.
Such being its end and aim, any interfer
ence in the party politics of the day would be
improper and impolitic. Brunswick lias re
ceived benefits from—it has friends in all par
ties, and every consideration is opposed to
rendering its Press the organ of a party. To
the citizens of Georgia—and not to the mem
bers of a party—to the friends of Brunswick—
to the advocates of Internal Improvement— to
the considerate aHd reflecting—do we apply

THE MONKEY.
a tale from the french.
Count Oldaguer had been under the
reign of Philip the Fifth, viceroy of Mex
ico ; and after a residence of more than
! twenty years in the New - World, he wish
ed to return to Spain. The Count revis
ited his country with considerable wealth,
took a superb mansion in the province of
Valencia, and consecrated the tirst leisure
of his life to the education of his only
daughter Eleanora. She was about fifteen;
her eyes of sweet and noble expression
and figure elegant as a nymph’s, attracted
toiler all the cavaliers in the province;
• hey cried on beholding her “Ah! slie is
beautiful!” But when their eyes, wan
dering over their idol, perceived the dia
monds sparkling in her black hair, when
they remarked the rarest pearls twisted
round her neck, and the richest jewels
setting off the most brilliant tissues, they
also cried, “Ah ! she is rich!” Then the
name of Eleanora, passed from mouth to
mouth, and her little court incessantly in
creased by the most ambitious and gallant
nobles of the kingdom of Spain. M ean
while the Count, whom the premature
death of a beloved w'ife had left a pray to
the most melancholy recollections, saw
with apprehension the interested homage)
of which his daughter was the object, and
his paternal heart could not forbear trem
bling at the sight of these young preten
ders, who had learnt so early in the cor
ruption of courts to mask their vices and
conceal their defects, under the parade of
the purest principles.
One day the Count Oldaguer, immers
ed in musing, called his steward, Miguel
dc lo Sebrera, a man of intellect and in
tegrity, who would give good counsel and
was devoted to the interests of his master;
qualities, rare.in Spain, caused him to be
regarded rather as a friend than as a do
mestic.
“Miguel,” said the Count, “I am more
tormented than ever, about settling my
daughter : three suitors, three magnificent
suitors—offer themselves for my Eleanora;
but in spite of all the good that is said of
thowe noble cavali«»t, I am J I'.nnto.o nnn.U
in doubt as to making my choice trom
them. The first is the nephew of the
Duke of Median, Don Alvar de Caceres ;
the second, is son to the prime minister
—the Marquis Santa Cruz ; and the third
is a Knight of Alcantara. Advise me:
you know my desires and w ishes only tend
to secure the happiness of my beloved
daughter, and I would have you seek
some metlied by which I may be able to
judge of these three cavaliers.
Miguel reflected a moment and then
said : 1 see a method of ascertaining the
most secret actions of Don Alvar, of the
Marquis Santa Cruz, and of the Knight
of Alcantara. It is absurd, singular,
ridiculous perhaps, but I believe it excel
lent. Demand that your monkey shall
pass ten days at the house of each preten
dant.
Count Oldaguer could not forbear
laughing at this new method of studying
men ; lie ordered Miguel to prepare every
thing essential to the success of his un
dertaking, and went himself to apprise his
dear Eleanora of it, whom he met this
time with a less anxious brow - .
Meanwhile, Miguel, the steward, lost
no time in putting Gaspardo, (this was
the nnJhkey's name,) in proper trim to
present himself at the house of the Duke
of Medina’s nephew, for w ith this young
nobleman the trials were to commence.—
M igucl dressed the monkey from head to
foot, and thus prepared and Don Alvar
dc Cacores apprised of the visit of his new
guest, the animal was conveyed in a car
riage to the ancient detnense of the Duke
of Medina.
You know little, my lord, replied Mi
guel, of the ambitious lovers. Had you
sent to the Duke of Medina’s house the
worst mule in your stables, requesting a
place for it in his apartments, his nephew
would have bestirred himself till he obtain
ed it. Ardent desires, be they of what
nature they may, smooth all difficulties;
and to knock a nail into the wheel of for
tune, the greatest potentate on earth would
not scruple may be to reach it by availing
himself of a collier's shoulders.
Don Miguel was not deceived in his
anticipations; the monkey did not for a
single moment, quit the nephew of the
Duke of Medina. Upon the expiration
of the ten days, the steward, accompanied
by several lackeys, went to fetch away
Gaspardo and had a world of trouble to
make him quit the young lord. The par
ty, however, arrived at the Count’s hotel
at the very time when a number of his
convival friends were leaving his rooms;'
and our monkey, set at liberty, no sooner
beheld the empty wine jars, the scattered
bottles, and the flasks and cups turned
upside down, than he seated himself at the
table, surrounded himself with aJJ the
remnants of the feast he could gather to
gether, and budged not from his place

| excess, and the fumes of wine, obliged
j him to go and throw himself upon the
\ canopy of the drawing room.
Eleanora’s father, informed bv MigUfl,
had witnessed in person a part of Gasjm
do’s orgies. \ou see, said the steward
to his master, that your daughter must not
become the prey of a dissipated fellow like
Don Alvar; the man who passes his
nights at table and among the wine cups
is not worthy to find love at his pillow ;
therefore think no more of Don Alvar.—
To-morrow brings the turn of the Marquis
jSanta Cruz, and we shall see if we are
luckier.
The monkey was conducted next day
! with equal ceremony to the house of the
Prime Minister’s son, and received l 'by the
Marquis with the liveliest satisfaction; he
did not a minute quit his new master. —
I The ten days expired he returned home,
I where his first impulse was to hurry into
those rooms where tables were already set
out for play. Gaspardo. at the sight of
cards, which lay near the candlesticks,
1 squatted down on an arm chair, and be
gan with extraordinary activity to shuttle,
cut and deal, llis eyes seemed starting
from their sockets, and incessantly he im
itated the movements of a man who has
recourse to his pockets to repair the loss
of the card table.
My lord, said the steward to Count
Oldaguer, the young Santa Cruz w ill not
suit us; he is a gamester. To-morrow
will show us the Knight of Alcantara.
Gaspardo was dispatched next day to
the abode ol Don Manuel des Ortiz, lie
there spent ten days; and upon coming
j home, his first act was to cast himself at
the feet of all the women he met with, to
| take their hands, and by grimaces, tears
aud»cries to describe to them a passsion
which, probably, his model felt as little
as himself.
As luck will have it, said Miguel to
Count Oldaguer, this man suits us even
less than the two others ; you sec my lord
that your daughter has escaped the snares
ol a spendthrift, a gamester, and a liber
tine. Now you are without idle preju
dices, are anxious above every thing for
the happiness of the lovely and sensitive
hold hi first estimation noble
; prmciplesTmn sentiments, and thereiore
; would do well to seek among arts or let
ters, a son-in-law worthy of your daughter
and yourself. Bestow wings of gold up
,on concealed merit, which only requires
a little such assistance to soar in the
strength of genius. Hold! 1 have seen a
: young artist w ho painted with such fideli
ty the charms of your child, sigh, and of
ten even turn pale, when quitting the
j places frequented by Eleanora. This*
! young man is the son of a brave sailor
who distinguished himself as captain of a
) vessel in the war with Portugal ; he has
! great talent, a fine character, and is only
poor and generous; give him the means
of being rich and magnificent, and give
him also your daughter, to whom lie is
not indifferent. But, in spite of the good
name he enjoyed, we will send Gaspardo
| to him, he is our real touch stone.
The Count found himself too much in
debted to the counsel of Miguel not in
this instance to follow it. The monev
was despatched, and lie returned at the
end often days, but what a luetamorpho
jsis? Gaspardo was cured of all his bad
i habits, and now only incessantly imitated
a man who paints and meditates. Count
Oldaguer, was much surprised at this
| novel discovery, united his daughter to
the young artist; Miguel, the steward,
was handsomely rewarded, and Gaspardo
grew old in a house, the happiness of
which In had secured without knowing it
I Good establishments would be more

less rare.*

MADAM BOURGOI.N AT ST. PETERS-
J3URGH.
! After the peace of Tilsitt, M. de Caul
' aincourt, duke of Viccnce, was sent as
ambassador near the court of Russia.
I The emperor, who neglected no means,
judged fit for the purpose of strengthen
ing his embassy, to give Mademoiselle
Bourgoin, the most beautiful of the ac
tresses at the Coincdie Francahc , leave of
! absence to pass a year at St. Petersburg,
| at the French theatre founded by the Em
peror Paul.
i Mademoiselle Bourgoin set off with
strong recommendations to many great
Russian nobles, and a very particular one
to the French ambassador,
j She appeared at thu court theatre ; her
! beautiful figure attracted the attention of
[the Emperor Alexander, who already
knew her by reputation : this was exactly
what was desired. She was ordered to
the palace ; that also was expected. But
before she went, Mademoiselle Bourgoin
had a conference with the French Am
bassador, who gave her his instructions ;
! but it is very rare that instructions given i
“HEAR ME FOR MY CAUSE.”
! to a beautiful woman, about to have an
interview with a prince, can embrace every
j thing necessary : what follows will prove
that the Due dc I iccnce had not anticipa
ted every event.
After some words of gallantry, the em
peror gave the conversation a more seri
ous turn.
“Is the emperor Napoleon,” said he,
“much beloved in France ?”
“ V es, very much ; one thing, however,
has done him a good deal of injury, and
alienated many persons—the assassination
of the Duke d’Enghien.
The word assassination always produ
ced a bad effect on tin* Emperor Alexan
der. Mademoiselle Bourgoin observed
I that his color changed and that his brows
knit; wishing to repair her blunder, she
; rejoined :
“But it has not his fault; it was that
j°f n knot of guilty persons who surroun
ded him at the time, and whom he is ex
erting himself every day to throw off.”
Here the discontent of the emperor
knew no hounds, and his ill-humor show
ed itself so plainly that Mademoiselle
Bourgoin had no other alternative hut to
! take leave and quit the room. The Duke
j f l< lln nrc had prescribed to her to come
jto the hotel of the embassy immediately
! after her visit to tlie emperor. She re
j paired thither.
I‘How has the Emperor Alexander re
ceived you ?”
“Very well at first, afterwards very
; badly.”
j “Ah ! all ! what have you said to him ?”
“lie asked me if the Emperor Napo
leon was beloved in France.”
“You replied in the affirmative?”
I told him that thev loved the
j emperor very much, but that the assassin
ation of the Duke d’Enghien had alitiea
| ted many persons from him.”
“You told him that ?”
“And I saw him instantly change col
or ; but I arranged it ail.”
“And how ?”
“I told him that it was not the empe
ror s i iult, but that of a knot of murder
i ers and guilty persons who surrounded
j him at the time.”
k ‘-R.n nrl I »’
Tiie Duke de Vicence could hardly
I contain himself.
Mademoiselle Bourgoin, your stay here
| will be shorter than you imagine ; your
leave of absence is finished ; get ready
to set off to-morrow. Go !”
Mad emoisellc Bourgoin was a long
time without knowing how to explain her
adventure, which she did not dare to re
late to any one. The Emperor of Rus
sia found her again in 1814 ; perhaps lie
may have solved the enigma for her.
Tremendous “Business Transac
tion.” Not long since a half demented
| and comical genius, who locates in the
town of Patterson, paid a visit to the
j commercial city par cucllinre, and in
:strolling along the streets, looking at the
j wonderful sights and curiosities that met
; the eye at every turn, promiscuously step
ped into an auction store in Pearl street.
The man of the hammer, and in fact all
hands, from the boss down to the petees,
I were instantly on the c/ure wctwi/, *as
(Justice Bloodgood hath it, and forthwith
, commenced operations—“going—going
—one and a halt—one and a half—one
land a half—down—T. Nagent &, Cos.”
Our stranger now began to imbibe the
spirit, of bidding, representing himself as
j a country merchant, and wishing to pur
chase a number of fancy articles, for the
purpose of retailing them at an hundred
[per cent profit, to the fair prairie daugh
! ters of the boundless west. Lot after
lot was bid off by our interesting hero, un
til finally it was deemed expedient by the
j auctioneer to advise him of the amount his
j Dill had already reached,
i “Very well,” said the buyer, “go on.”
| The hammer was up again, and, ns he
| fore, each lot was struck off to the former
purchaser. The sales soon amounted to
j about three thousand dollars. A pretty
I fair two hours’ work, thought the auction
j eer, and accordingly broke off and ad
journed until the next morning—more
i particularly for the purpose of ascertain
| ing what his customer was made of.
The sale was stopped—the bill footed
up, and presented.
“Perfectly right, I expect,” srid the
buyer. “Twenty-eight hundred—l hav
ven’t got as much as that with me, but I
see by your notice sticking up, that stran
gers can leave a deposit.”
“Certainly,” said the clerk, “pay a
part of it, and you can pay the balance
when you take the goods.”
“Well, then, here’s fifty ants, in spe
cie too ; it's all I’ve got, and I want eigh
teen pence of that to take me back to Pat
terson. I know the driver and he’ll take
me for a shilling, and sixpence will pay
ferriage! ! ”
“You infernal scoundrel, you—you im
pudent confounded rascal,” roared out
the man who had wielded the hammer, and
taxed his lungs on a two hour stretch, all
to no purpose, “get out of the store.”
“Yes, get out of the store ; or we will
kick you out,” said Peter Pork.
“Will von ?’’ said lie, “will you ?
Then I’m going—going—going—gone !”
The auctioneer stormed a little at first,
but, like a true philosopher, laughed it
off as a good joke, and all hands turned
to and put things in order for the next
day’s sale, determining that if ever such
another customer presented himself at
the counter, a select committee should
he appointed for the purpose of investiga
ting his “financial department,” and also
with power, if necessary, to send for “per
sons and papers.”
Napoleon's Tomb. 1 spent all save
the dawning of a long day of hard service,
far from the din of European strife, under
the sorcliing sky of the East. Even amid
the forests of Nepaul, the name of Bona
parte sounded like a spell. While his
ambition was condemned, his genius was
admired, his misfortunes deplored. 1
have often wished to encounter him face
to face; the closest approach, however,
that fortune enabled me to make to him,
was a pilgrimage to his tomb. W hen at
St. Helena, I started one morning, with
a small party of brother officers, to survey
the spot where the remains of the world’s
agitator are deposited. The peculiarities
of the locality have been laid before the
public so often and so amply, on canvass
and on paper, that further description is
needless. The character of the scene is
profound, and awful loneliness, a dell girt
in by huge, naked hills, not an object of
vegetable life to relieve the general aspect
of desertedness, except the few weeping
willows which droop above the grave.—
The feeling of solitude is heightened by
an echo that responds on the least eleva
tion of the voice. With what singular
emotions 1 took my stand upon the slab
which now sheltered the dust of him for
whom the crown, thrones and sceptres he
wrung from their possessors would of
themselves have furnished materials for a
monument! There the restless lies at
rest; there the Emperor of the French,
King of Italy, Protector of tiie Confeder
ation of the Rhine, Grand faster of the
Legion of Honor, reposed with almost as
I Hire in no urn iiuuiwtv
ant of a country churchyard.
After life's fitful fever he sleeps well.
1 withdrew my foot, removed with my
handkerchief the traces it had left on
the stone, and gave a tear to the fate ol
the exile. I, also, was soldier of fortune.
Our party puffed the place witlTdejected
laces and scarcely a word was spoken un
til we reached our quarters.
On the following morning a French
frigate arrived from the Isle of Bourbon,
having on board a regiment of artillery.
The officers solicited and obtained per
mission to pay a tribute of respect to their
old leader’s ashes. I accompanied them
to the ground, and rarely have I been a
witness to enthusiasm like" theirs. On
the way not an eye was dry, and some
who had served immediately under the
emperor wept aloud. As they drew near
er to the spot, their steps became hurried
and irregular; hut the moment they saw
the tomb they formed two deep, and ad
\ anccd with uncovered heads, folded arms
and slow and pensive pace. When with
in five or six yards of their destination,
they broke off into single files,'’"‘and, sur
rounding the grave at uniform intervals,
knelt silently down. The commander ol
the frigate and the others in succession,
according to their rank, then kissed the
slab; when they arose, every lip was fix
ed, every bosom full. In a few days the
otlicers of both countries met together at
Soliman’s table, and after dinner the first
toast was, “The King of England—three
times three.” I re dly thought that the
“hip, hip, hurrah !” of our ancient ene
mies would never have an end. An Eng
lish gentleman returned thanks, and pro
posed “The memory of that great war
rior, Napoleon Bonaparte.” The pledge
went solemnly round, each wearing, in
honor of the mighty dead, a sprig of his
guardian willow. The evening was spent
in concord ; many patriotic toasts were
reciprocated, many good things were said,
and the blunt sincerity of military friend
ship presided over our parting.
PROGRESSIVE RISE Or THE BOTTOM
of the Mediterranean. 3J. Theodore
Virlet Ltely addressed a note to the French
Academy of science, in which ha direct
ed the attention of geologists to the prob
ability of the speedy appearance of anew'
island in the Grecian Archipelago, in
consequence of the progressive rise of a
solid sunken rock (composed of tracbytic
ohsidan) in the gulf of the volcano of San
torip. The following are the author’s ob
servations on the subject:—“Towards the
end of the last century, at the period Ol
iver visited Santorin, the fishermen of the
Island asserted that the bottom of the sea
had recently risen between the island of
Little Kaimena and the port of Thera;
in fact the soundings did not give a grea

j reached. When Col. Bory and the au
jthor visited this island in 1829, they were
able not only to confirm the truth of Ol
iver's statement, but also to ascertain by
various soundings, that the rise of the sub
marine land had continued, and that the
point indicated the depth was not more
than tour fathoms and a half. In 1830
the same observers made new soundings,
which en abled the n to determine the form
an 1 extbitt oi the mass of rock, which,
in less, than a year had beep elevated
half a fathom It was found to extend 80
metres from cast to west, and 500 from
north to south. The submarine surface
augmented to the north and to the wdfet
from four to twenty nine fathoms while to
the east and south his augmentation a
mounted to forty-five fathoms. Beyond
this limit the soundings indicated in all*
1 directions a very great depth. I have late
ly been informed that Admiral Lalande,
who, since 1830, has twice returned to
j Santorin, ascertained that the rbek still
continues to rise, and that, in September,
1835, the date of the lust visit, the depth
of water amounted to only two fathoms,
so that a sunken reef now exists which is
dangerous for brigs to approach. If the
rock continues to rise at the same rate, it
may be calculated that about thfe year
it will form anew island, without
however, those catastrophes which this
phenomenon seems to presage for the
gulf of S uitorin, being a necessary con
sequence of the epoch of its appearance
to the surface of the water.. Sincejhe
eruptions of 1707 and 1712, which pro
duced the new Raiment, the volcano
seems at the present date quite extinct.
Nevertheless the rise of a portion of its
surface seems to demonstrate continual
effort to make an gruption during fifty
years ; and that whenever the resistance
shall not he strong enough to offer a suf
ficient obstacle, the volcano will again re-'
sume its activity/’—[Edin. New Philoso
