mu ultra."
The tempest of a dark Decem
ber’s night had for some time vent
ed its fury, when a wretched wo
man, drenched by the rain, with
hair dishevelled and in tattered gar
ments', sunk to Ihc ground, as she
journied over the heath.
She had wandered far from her
home —Home /-—alas! she had none!
She was an orphan ! Long had a
mother’s voice ceased to instruct
her bv its precepts —« father’s aim,
to protect and administer by its la
bor to her necessities. Kate had
consigned them both to tne grave,
and Emma was left without a friend
on whom to depend for counsel or
assistance.
She was then beauteous: her
form and graceful movements
were those of Diana ; the health of
Hvgcia bloomed upon her cbefek,
and the lily’s spotless whiteness lent
its complexion to her neck and bo
som. Her was intelligent,
though not learned ; her he.tit, a
compound of virtue mid credulity.
Never had Emma performed an act
that was wrong, knowing it to be
«o —never suspected guile or trea
chery in another; judging the world,
os it were, hy the standard of her
oiiin honesty and truth. 1 bus act
ing—believing,-—-unskilled in the
'deceptive character of Man—for
lorn and needy—she was approach
ed hy a youth, whose prepossessing
form and manners soon engaged her
.affections. With the malice and
cunning of the arch fiend ol old, he
wooed, won, and deserted her!
Wretched Emma! virtue was once
thy richest pride and solace. Vir
fUt i And is it then but a name
which the uncharitable look at ?
Art thou not, Emma, still virtuous ?
Shall the fell machinations of u vil
lain cast that opprobrium upon thy
purer nature, which only his infa
-* my deserves ?—Yet it may be said
that thou too art infamous! —Not
•o —No, by heavens 1 Thou art
wretched, but not infamous ! It wvs
not a fault to believe as thou hast
believed ; it was a misfortune. That
innocence which should have been
thy protection, is, nevertheless, thy
apology. You saw the tears trickle
from eyes, while those eyes beam
ed in rapture upon you —you heard
a voice, silvery and sweet, which
formed itself to your situation, de
clare its passion and pledge its unal
terable truth. Could you doubt it ?
No. That heart which hud never
deceived—that heart, which had so
often throbbed with sympathetic, e
motions at the bear rental of- past
tales of sorrow,” could not suspect
deception in another, when at its
feet it laid, in supplication, promises
and vows 1
Who. then, Emma, brands you
infamous ? You that have felt the
maddening shafts of love burning in
your heart—you that have sighed
for the indulgence of a passion, pure
and ardent, though restricted hy
custom, or those incidental occur
rences which arise ever and anon
by fate’s invidious command, to em
bitter our enjoyment and harms*
our existence, will not.
You, whose bosoms are cold—
■whose hearts, nor passion, nor per
suasion, nor sympathy, ever yet
pervaded—who are virtuous from
n deficiency of nature's genial tires,
should not. And ah I you that
have felt the tender emotions—you
that believed love had no lying
tongue —you, at whose misfortunes
and credulity the unpitving world
has (minted the linger of derision—
on whose name, impressed the sig
net of disgrace, will drop tears of
commiseration for poor Emma ; and
believe, though one error made her
wretched and an outcast, it should
not make her infamous —Nor has it.
“ What voice of sorrow breaks
upon my ear, giving to the night’s
loud gusts a wilder and a more ap
palling accent f” enquired a horse
man, as he cautiously approached
the spot where the wretched or
phan lay.
“ A being disgraced—persecuted
by the world, and forsaken hy hea
ven 1” she replied. “ Three days
have passed since these famished
lips have tasted of the coarsest food;
And many a long, long Right, since
the roof of hospitality sheltered me
from (he pitiless sumo. lam a wo
man—l am an orphan I”
" Why have you Item persecuted
by (he hi>H| ? Why should you he
forsaken by beat mi t"
" I (bought V >( of (|y upliiiuiM of
I the one, sin) I have violated an nr
-1 diuain t* of (he other. I !•*« gd 100
Hi U. and a as omhur I”—•~*«T eke
Ihy «ms«< able Isle/* A tempted th«
• horseman, and gallopped forwards.
He was a MORALIS f ! I
Next came rolling on, guarded by
a numerous train with torches m
' their hand, a coach, in which were
seated a father and his daughter.
The miserable sufferer was soon
discovered.
Though stiffened by the cold and
exhausted by fasting, yet at the sight
of her own sex —at the sight of a
‘ fice in which the nobler attributes
of the female character appeared to
be enthroned —stimulated by des
pair and hope alternately prevail
ing, with a convulsive effort the or
phan threw herself at the feet of the
young virgin, who had now ap
proached her, recounting her offen
ces, her contrition, and her suffer
ings, But this appeal for pity was
ineffectual: those who have never
known misery themselves, cannot
sympathise with it.
Miss bad been educated in prin
ciples inflexible to all extenuation
of error. Hhe had been taught to
believe that the will of Providence
proportioned the punishment to the
offence, in this life, as well as in the
life to come ; and that an interfer
ence in, or an alleviation of the
creature suffering would be in di
rect opposition to the decrees of
Heaven. Perhaps, like the rich,
who only give to the rich, had the
virgin found poor Emma, sinless,
she would have exerted her best
means to have preserved her so.
.She might have .snatched her from
the flinty ground on which she ago
nized, and nourished her in her
own bosom ; but Emma had com
mitted that unpardonable act, which,
in the virgin’s mind, outweighed the
measure of her punishment, and
closed the door of mercy ! Accurs
ed he the precepts, which originate
such feelings! The father of the
virgin, regardless of every consi
deration ns they connect the social
link, or expand the circle of huma
nity, save only as they relate to the
prosperity of his own child, felt no
reluctance in ordering the coach
man to “drive on and Enw ia was
left once more, deserted on the
heath I Must she then perish?—
No—Heaven has forgiven—“jus
tice is satisfied!”
Through the dispersing gloom,
yet augmented severity of the blast,
a firm and steady step was heard,
by the orphan, to approach. There
was something in its sound, presag
ing of succor—something which
conveyed hope to the heart. A
glow of comfort flushed upon her
frozen cheeks. A delicious sensa
tion, (like to that which is experi
enced when we feci the congenial
sigh breathe upon us as it leaves
the warm bosom of friendship,) ani
mated her with new life. She* arose
with strength and feeling, she knew
not how to account for—she hur
ried to meet him that approached
her, and in the next instant fell
senseless into his arms.
“Child of affliction!” enquired
the stnuurer, (as he wrapped her
shivering form more tenderly in his
mantle, and watched the returning
life in her pallid face, by the indis
tinct beamings of the moon which
had now arisen,) “ Child of afflic
tion ! why hast thou, on this lone
night, wandered from thy friends
and home ?” “1 have none,” re
sumed the disconsolate Emma, with
convulsed emotion, while she cast
upon hiiji a look which might have
melted the heart of a stoic, and en
deavored to relieve herself from
his embrace —It was the first time
since her unhappy seduction,
that the orphan had been touched
or cherished by man.
“ 1 am very young,” she conti
nued, “but have experienced an
age of misery. Seduced by a heart
1 believed to be the oracle of truth
and Constance —an orphan—shun
ned hy my former friends—scoffed
by mv undoer—unpitied—unpro
tected, I have wandered alone : the
canopy ofHeaven at night, (ny on
ly covering—the scanty fruit of the.
forest my only sustenance. I could
not love sin sufficient to .pursue it
for my bread, and who would ad
minister to the woman dishonored ?
—Stranger, the measure of mv suf
fering has tilled : in n few moments,
all that will remain of the orphan
for the exercise of thy humanity,
will he the interment of her corse,
and the inscription of her offence,
that others may profit hy her mis
fortunes, and shun that rock, on
which she struck tind perished!”
“ Orphan, thou will not die !” re
plied the stranger, pressing her cold
form firmer in his arms. “I am
childless, and will make thee mine.
1 he world shall yet respect and
bless (he orphan, whose offence it
treated with too (finch severity, ami
* whose wants it refused to supply.”
“ Whose voice u this,” exd lim
ed the sinking Emma, *• that sends
such tidings through my bewildered
brain ? Who calls me from the
ITAVA, and dresses out life's fantasy
anew f
“One” replied the stranger.
“ who feels it his duty tu surety the

Angel! of Ren*

r, sunk her icy forehead on his bosom,
i -—He was a MASON.
* And the masoi* has kept his word.
Emma is seen again, blooming and
i beautiful, as ever, moving in plenty.
Her error has been long since for-
I gotten by all but herself, in conside
t ration of her qorrect deportment,
» and the exercise of her charities
* she is the almoner of the village.
> Her kindness heals the afflicted
her precepts lame the obdarate.
Once a year, when the night
winds blow muttering
; tempest beats roof of her
residence, does Emma hie- her to
the spot where her preserver found
her. He accompanies her. It is
> the indulgence of a whim in her,
which he sanctions, more because
I he believes it to be the exercise of
a penance for her crime, than from
a fear that, without such perpetua
i tion of it, she might again fall its
victim.
One act originating in extreme
sensibility and uncounsellcd by ex
perience, weaned from her, the
sympathies of the world—One gene
rous bo9om snatched her from des
traction, and gave to society again,
its brightest ofnament. Adieu,
' . sweet Emma; thy sufferings and
! thy perfections, are treasured up in
’ every honest heart; ami the hour
1 is blest in which the Mason found
thg«, an Orphan on the Heath.

Interesting History.
I ft is known as a matter of history, that
in the early part of 1755, great exertions
1 weie made by the British ministry at the
* head of which W'us the illustrious earl of
I Chatham, fur the reduction of the French (
. power in the provinces of the Canadas—
, To carry the object into effect, gen. Am- i
lierst, referred to the letters of Junius, ,
was appointed to the command of the. Brit
ish army In the North Western America: i
I and the British colonies m America were
called upon for assistance, who enntribu- i
ted with alacrity their several quotas of
men to effect the grand object of British
enterprise. It is u fact, still within the
recollection of some of our oldest inhabit
ants, that the British army lay encamped, *
in the summer of 1755, on the eastern 1
hank of the Hudson, a little south of the *
city of Albany, on the ground now belong- *
ing lo John I. Van Bensselaer, esq. To 1
this Jay, vestiges of their encampment '
remain; and alter a lapse of sixty years, 1
when a great proportion of the actors of 1
those days, have passed away like shad- 1

command of Abercrombie, was foiled, 1
with a severe loss, in the attack on Tioou- 1

that history has consecrated to his fame. I
In the early part of June, the eastern 1

Latest From England.
By the arrival of the ship Factor, capt.
Sheep, in 34 days from Liverpool, the ed
itors of the American Centinel have been
favored with the Liverpool Advertiser of
the Bth of July, containing intelligence
from England, eight days later than that
heretofore received. Copious extracts
will be found below.
A letter from Copenhagen, dated June
20, announces the failure of the well
known and longeslabiished banking house
of Kyberg & Co. an event which had
produced a great sensation on the ex

Disturbances appear to have taken place
at Brest and at Caen. The Emperor ot

Hopes are entertained in Hanover that
the King will visit that country during the
ensuing autumn and the palace of Herren

From the Liverpool Advertiser, July 8.
The concerns of the Queen have made
oonsideruble progress during the present
week. The report of the committee of
the House of Lords was brought up on
Tuesday night, and it was couched in no
equivocal or qualified terms. The Queen
Is charged, on the evidence of various
persons, in different parts of Europe, with
having carried on an adulterous inter
course with a man whom she had raised
from the rank of a menial servant, and she
is charged also with general licentiousness
and impropriety of conduct. The very
serious weight of this accusation, it must
be confessed, has rather gone beyond the
public expectation. That an unfavorable,
report should be produced, was a mutter
of course, because no accusation was ever
brought forward which did not appear
sufficiently valid before the defence was
heard. Such is tire inevitable effect of an
examination of ex parte evidence in any
case, but especially in a charg-e which is
supported by witnesses employed to col
lect evidence, and remunerated for their
testimony. But the report now produced
is certainly more graveiu its accusations,
more unhesitating in its assumptions, and
more direct in Us language than had been
generally anticipated. The Queen her
self seemed to be somewhat shocked and
surprised at its unexpected severity. She
still however, remains confident in her
ability to show, by the most satisfactory
proof, that the testimony against her is
false, and the witnesses corrupt. Her own
evidence will of course, be hbable to the
same imputations, and thus the affair, as
far as respects public opinion, will remain
exactly where it it. The partizans of the
Queen will discredit all the asservations
ol the accusers, whilst her adversaries
will equally disregard all the evidence in
her defence.
In this way, the whole dispute, though
simply a question of fact, will serve only
to exasperate the fury of contending par
ties, with scarcely any chance of produ
cing conviction on either side.
We are much gratified to learn, that the
demand for cotton wool from most of the
principal seats of that extensive manufac
ture has beQn, for a few months past, gra
dually on the increase.
We have the comfort of knowing that
the distress which it is said, now prevails
amongst all classes of people in this coun
try, is, at least, not universal.
From the London papers of Thursday
evening.
The Quem. —In the house of lords yes
terday, a deal of routine business was
transacted. Lord Dacre presented the
following petition from her majesty; “Car
oline Regina. The Queen observing the
most extraordinary report made in the
house of lords by the secret committee,
and now lyiifg on the table, represents to
the house, that she is repared, at this
moment, to defend herself against it, a*
fur as she can understand As import. The
Queen also stales, that there are various
matters touching the same, which it is
absolutely necessary, with a view to her
future defence, to have slated in the pre
sent state ol the proceeding. The Queen
ihoreforo prays that she maybe heard hy
Iter counsel touching such matters." Lord
Dacre then urged the propriety of cuilii
»rl being heard on behalf of the Queen,
and said, that if the petition was agreed
to, he should vote that counsel be called
•n. Lord Liverpool stated, that after he
had obtained Irate tu bring in th* bill, he
should move that a copy be presented to
the Queen, and then the petition might be
regularly taken into consideration, The
petition was strongly supported by Lord
lirey and oilier noblemen en (tie aide of
the opposition, but the motion of Lord
ttamo.* that the counsel be heard, was ne
gatived without-editunon.

mitto thelf lordship*, the hifl of which he
had given notice. In doing so, he wss
convinced be would best consult bis own
feelings as well as those of their lordships,
by abstaining at the present moment from
entering into any de<*il of the important
matter to which this bill had reference. —
The preamble would speak for itself, and
develope that charge, the allegations oi
which it would be the duty of those offi
cially employed on the occasion to prove
by evidence before their lortftliips He
had on a former night argued the proprie
ty of instituting an impeachment rather
than a bill like the present; but he was
stillof opinion, that when a doubt was
cast upon the legality of such proceeding
in this particular case, on account of the
circumstances of the criminally not being'
that which could be established in ,the,
-Rtannur required by the common law,*
there was no course which their Lordships
could suitably adopt except a bill :.f pains
and penalties. The consideration theu
rose, by which house of parliament ought
the proceeding to originate. Under ail
the circumstances of the case, he thought
it advisable the bill should be introduced
before their lordships, as their judicial
habits and forms would enable them to
proceed more effectually'm the progress
of the distressing inquiry. (Hear, heur.,J
As to the bill winch he meant to intro
doce, the preamble would state, with as
much particularity as the nature of theoi
fence admitted, the specific charge. It
would then, proceeding on the assump
tion that that charge were substantiated
before their lordships in evidence, go to
deprive her majesty of her rank and title
as Queen and conclude with dissolving
her marriage with the King. There were
no penal consequences over and above
what he had mentioned included in this
bill. With the exception of the degre
dation of the Queen tiom her rank, and
the dissolution of her marriage, should
the alledgecl crime be substantiated a
gaiust her, it was not intended to bear
more severely on the individual than the
case actually called for. The charges con
tained in the preamble were then to be
gone into, and if the house should be as
sured by the evidence of the correctness
of these charges, their 1 lordships would
discharge (heir duty as they had done on
every other occasion wherein they had
been called to exercise their judicial char
acter, so as to secure, as they well deserv
ed, the respect and confidence of the
country. He would then propose that the
bill should be read a first time; after
which he would move most respectfully,
that copies of the bill, when printed,
should be delivered to her majesty the
Queen.—>Then their lordships wouliPbe
able 'to postpone the second reading until
the Queen should he consulted as to the
period in which she would prefer that the
bill should proceed. It was a matter of
indifference to him. If she wished it, the
second reading might be delayed, as we p
as intermediate proceedings, until ~er ma
jesty’s counsel were ready to go into her
defence otherwise, if it was her wish
to proceed forthwith, it would be for their
lordships to fix an early day. He would
propose that day fortnight ; in the mean
time he would propose next Friday or
Monday for further proceedings of an in
termediate nature. Their lordships had
a painful and distressing duty to discharge,-
since his Majesty had intrusted the ad
ministration of the executive government
to his present servants, he (Lord Liver
pool) had not been called on to perform
any duly so painful and distressing to his
own mind & feelings. Their Lordships
must endeavor, notwithstanding, to dis
charge that duty with firmness and reso
lution, but with the utmost possible leni
ty and mildness to the illustrious accused
at the same time. If the charges which
were to be advanced should, after being
proved, fail to convince their -lordships of
the necessity for proceeding with this
measure, it would be not only the impuni
ty but the triumph of guilt. They had a
straightforward course to pursue, from
which they were not to be deterred, they
ought not to be driven by the effects of
prejudice or popular clamour. He then
moved that a bill of pains and penalties
for depriving Caroline Queen of England
of her rights, privileges, and perogatives
should be read a first time. The bill, of
which the following is a literal copy was
then read by the clerk:
“ Whereas in the year 1814, her majes
ty Caroline Amelia Elizabeth, then prin
cess of Wales, and now queen consort of
this realm, being at Milan, in Italy, engag
