AUGUSTA HERALD.
TUESDAY, JUNE 5, 1821.
The latest intelligence from Europe
which is to the 19tn April, is given in
our columns to-day. In reflecting on
the hopes we had lonned of the sinceri
ty of the Neapolitans and their deter
mination to brave every danger in or
der to establish a government, based
on equal right; we cannot but be as
tonished, that now, the Holy League
should be dictating to them iu the im
perative language of conscious supre
macy, that they shall be slums. Strange
reverse ! Has this been the result of
cowardice ? Or, is it treachery ? We
are informed that strong suspicions in
dicate the latter. If so, they are not
conquered ; and should the Allies car
y ry their arms into Spain, they will only
afford them an opportunity to efface the
blot, which stains their national char
acter ; and dark as their political at
mosphere is, yet, it may be illumined
by the effervescence of patriotism,
which if properly exercised, will even
tuate in consequences honorable to
themselves and useful to their country.
THE increase of population, says
the Southern Recorder, in this State
' since 1810, by the census lately taken,
Is about 100,000.
Capture of Washington.—A. work
has been published in London by a
frfitish officer, narrating the attack on
Washington, and from the extracts pub
lished in the Boston Daily Advertiser,
we should conceive it to be a book of
considerable interest, and not a highly
discolored detail. It appears that such
was the extreme heat of the weather
that the finest troops fell out of the line
The officer describes the position of our
army at Bladensburgh as being power
ful and commanding. He observes after
entering Bladensburgh:
“ While we were moving along the street,
a continued fire was kept up, With some exe
cution, from those guns which stood to the
left of the road ; but it was not till file bridge
was covered with our people that the two
gun’battery upon the road itself began to
play. Then indeed, it also opened, and with
tremendous effect; lor at the firs: discharge,
almost an entire, company was swept dow n ;
hlit whether it was, thai the p.'.us had been
previously laid with measured exactness, or
that the nerves of the gunners became after
wards unsteady, the succeeding discharges
'(ere much less fatal. The riflemen likewise
now galled us from the wooded bauJf, with a
running fire of imi'fketry : and it was not
without trampling upon many of their dead
and dying comrades, that the light brigade
established itself on the opposite side of the
stream.”
It is evident from the narrative, that
if our troops had persevered a short
time, they would have carried the day.
The officer speaks of the sailors under
dominodore Barney, thu3:
“ Os the sailors, however, it would be in
jus ice, not to r prak inf he terms Which their
Nj Conduct merits. They , were employed as
gumitrs, and not only did they serve their
guns with a quickness and precision, which
astonished their assailants, but they stood
Stil tili some of them were actually bayonet
ed, with fusees in their hands, nor Vas it
till their leader was w-ur.d-d And taken, and
they saw themselves deserted on all sides
by the soldiers, 'hat they quitted the field.”
The whole work would no doubt, be
read with interest, and it is a book
which we should wish to put into the
hands of the rising generation ; for al
though the capture of Washington
aroused the slumbering energies of the
people, and carried vengeance and vic
tory on tiie sword, yet it was a stain oil
our national escutcheon, which we
should never forget; ami while the re
collection of it lasts, such an event can
never again occur. While future ages
will enquire into the causes why such
an accident happened, they vvilllikewise
ask who supported and who betrayed
the country in that awful period; who
were the men that rallied round the
country, and who encouraged the enemy
by-their treason, stratagems and open
hostility. The lesson has been and will
be a wholesome one to us, and we should
not strive to forget it by any means.

Fortunate Preservation. —The Sa
lem Gazette mentions, that four lads,
named Oliver, Monarch, Masury, and
Abbot, who were overset, from a boat
in Salem harbor on Tuesday afternoon,
were, preserved from a watery grave by

The lads had been on the boat's bottom
half an hour when taken off'.
Osyipanduas, the first king of Egypt
who formed a library, placed over its
entrance a Greek inscription, signifying
“ The repository of Medicines for it e
soul !” The library of Constantine, in
the eighth Century, contained 300,000
volumes, among them was a copy of the
Iliad, and Odessey, written in letters
of gold on the skin of a serpent. Cos
mo de Medicis erected a most superb
library at Florence, and inscribed over
its gate, Labor absque lusore.

England Threatened. —On the 20th
of Match there was an interesting debate
in the House of Commons on a motion
offered by Sir Robert Wilson, for the
production of Sir Win. A’Couht’s let
ters to the Duke de Gallo, Sir Robert
. Wilson observed, that he could state,
on information which enabled him to
pledge his authority for its correctness,
that at I roppau, when the conversation
turned on the probable cl.anges of Min
istry in England, and the possibility of
some of tlfe members of that house com
ing into power, the directing minister
of the Alliance being present, said that
if such a change should' take piace, the
Allies were determined to treat England
as they were now treating Naples!
When in reply to this it was observed
that Napoleon had found great difficulty
in spite of his power, to get to London,
the same minister said, we may find the
same, obstacles tor a time, but we can
, treat England as an infected nation.!! 1
In an article on Accum’* treatise on Cu
linarti I't.isons, the reviewers fall into a strain
somewhat similar to that adopted in Black
wood’s Magazine on the same work. After
quoting a passage from Accum, in which lie
mentions a series of subjects concerning
which frauds are practised, and which con
cludes in the following manner:—“ The
frauus committed in the tanning of skins,
and -in the manufacture of cutlery and jew
ellery exceed belief.”—The reviewers say—
