One of the first objects for which
• J inquire on entering u new place, is
the <’hutch Yard, since independent
of the pleasing melancholy derived
from meditations “among the tombs,”
tlie selection of a sile for a burying
ground, the manner of laying it out,
the sculpture of the monuments, and
the inscription they hear, furnish a
i ratty correct index to the intelli
gence iijiid taste of the inhabitants.—
Ju t!ie congregation of the dead, you
juav smdy and catch the manners of
the living, discovering in turn, refine
ment or rudeness of taste, knowledge
or . wioranco, ostentation or molest
r lirenient, affectation of sorrow, or
the simplicity and sincerity of real
grief.—lbid Mr. Alden been less
voluminous and less indiscriminate,
his collection of epitaphs might have
been an interesting and useful work,
« presenting at least one striking fea
t ae in the moral physiognomy of the
ninny.
If w*>s my intention soon to have
given a hiief sketch of what may be
considered the TSatioiXul Burying

oilier ctlkers of the government arej
there interred. 1 have paid 1, two;

vards from the water’s edge, but
elevated considerably above it, and
c mimaiiding an extensive view of the
i;ver. The winding path leading to i
i’ is o', ei a wide and barren common ’
—there are no houses in the vicinity
—and it will be long before it will he I
in the midst of the city. Had the I
church yards in N. York been laid 1
gut Willi the same precaution, they i
would not now have formed a sub
ject oi legislation for the Common I
Council, nor for newspajrer discus
sion. This grave yard contains an
area of two or three acres, enclosed
by a plain wooden fence, and sprink
led with copses of native cedar, stint
ed in their growth and many of them
withered, either from thfc poverty of
the soil, or from having their roots
broken by the spade of the grave dig
ger. There are, however, enoogh
living to conceal many of tlie graves;
end their verdure contrasted with the
grey tomb stones produces an agree
able effect.
The most conspicuous monument,
is that ejected in memory of George
Clinton, Vice-President of the Uni
ted Slates. It is a handsome pyra
mid of stuccoed freestone, ten or
twelve feet in height, standing upon
a broad base, and mounting by steps.
On one side is a profile likeness cut
from marble in bold relief, and sur
rounded with a civic wreath. I»e
--neath is the following inscription :
“ To the memory of George (Min
ton. lie was horn in the state Os
New-York on the 26th July, 1J39,
and died in the city of Washington on
the 20th of April, I SI I, in the JSd
year of his age. He was a soldier
ami a statesman of the revolution. —
Eminent in Council and distinguished
in war, he filled with unexampled
usefulness, purity and ability among
unity other offices, those of Gover
nor of his native state, and of Vice-
Presldent of the United States.—
While he lived, lift virtue, wisdom
and valor, were the pride, the orna
ment and security of his country;
and when he died, he left an illustri
ous example of a well spent life, wor
thy of all imitation. 'Phis monu
ment is dedicated by
his children.” I nave copied the
whole of this inscription, because it
is concise, neat, and appropriate, and
because I do not recollect to have
seen it noticed. The virtues and ser
vices of such a distinguished patriot
cannot he 100 often called to mind,
especially by the citizens of a state to
which he was a public benefactor.
Near the grave of George Clinton
commences a range of monuments,
which extends for some rods towards
the south, erected to the memory of
member* of Congress, who died at
Washington.—These memorials are
placed in an exact line, are of the
same"height, composed of the same
materials, uniform in their structure,
and uninterrupted in the scries, except
by a marble pyramid in honor of
Captain Hugh George Campbell, of
South Carolina. They are built of
freestone painted white, and consist
of short, square, and plain pillars,
with a cone at top, and resting on a
broad pedestal, which rises by two
steps. On one face of the pillar is
an inscription, similar throughout,
with the exception of names and
dates, i shall give that of Mr. Pink
ney as a sample, because he is among
the most distinguished in this assem
blage of the dead, and because it is a
perfect contrast to the epitaphs pro
posed by several persons soon after
liis death. In plain black letters you
find the following brief inscription :
—“ In memory of the Hon. William
Pinkney, a senator in the Congress of
the United States from (he state of
Maryland, died Feb. 25ih, 1822,
aged .*>B years.” Here sleeps the re
mains, and such is the epitaph of the
man, on whose eloquence courts and
senate have hung n illi admiration and
del’jlit. Uy his side and near him,
sleep the ashes of Mr. Trimble of
Ohio, Mr. Hun ill of Rhodo-lsland,
.Mr. Malhoue of the same state,
and Mr. Tracy of Connecticut, mem
bers of the Senate, together with Sa
muel A. Otis, former secret wry of that

The Siege cf Custcllfollit.
In our Havana papers we find a
detailed account of the operations oF
the constitutional forces, under Gen.
' Mina, against the fortress of Castell
, follit, in Catalonia. This account is
in official letters copied
1 from a Spanish Gazette, an abstract
".of,which may be found interesting to
1 ‘ our readers.—[iV. V. Dai. Ado.
|j The Fortress of Castellfollit occu
’ j pics the summit of a high and almost |
j inaccessible rock, which commands
I a considerable tract of the neighbour-
J i ing country, and is surrounded by
‘ i three towers, placed at the comers of
jan equilateral triangle. On the 21st
! of October, a few days after the con
stitutional troops had been expelled
by a detachment of the army of the
| Faith, Gen. Mina commenced the
siege of it. The insurgent garrison
consisted of about 450 men, com-1
* manded by Homanillo, who hud his
family with him in the principal for
tress.
An attempt was made in the evo
’ ning to blow up the left hand tower,
I but without success; for the con-!
struction is of suc'n solid materials
(and of such antiquity as to withstand
j 1 uninjured the shock of a common
j | mine. New excavations were there-
I I fore immediately commenced, and
’ | urged on with all possible activity,
I against t!ie two nearest lowers at
I once.
f I Two cf the general’s adjutants,
Canedo and Narvaez, taking advan
. tage of (he obscurity of the night, left
’ their fortifications to examine the
gate of the tower, to see whether it
might lie cut throng!) with hatchets.
, They proceeded with the utmost can
, tion, and had almost reached the
l walls, when they were discovered by
I the sentinels, who fired upon them,
, and they were both brought back
badly wounded.
t The next day at sunset, (he exca
vations being completed and tlienia
’ gazine prepared,the orders were giv
en to spring the mine. A tremcn
j dons explosion instantly took place,
which so completely destroyed the
’ tower that only two mfen were found
f alive among the ruins, and they were
j put to death by the soldiers, who msh
, ed in at the breach, tore down the
, flag of Urgel, and made the ruins
, ring with “ Long live the Constitu
tion !”
, In half an hour the right hand tow
|- er was blown into the air by the
C springing of a second mine, and the
I stones in falling killed a groat many
t of the soldiers in the third tower.—
This tremendous explosion was. f.»l
’ lowed by a dead silence on the part
, of the besieged, who until then Ind
, been continually throwing out taunts
and bravadoes. The destruction of
j their works indeed so much dispirit
ed them, that they withheld for a
r time the firing of their guns, and left
j their enemies to proceed in their op
t erations without molestation, al
though they had previously exhlbit
, ed the greatest enthusiasm and the
, most desperate courage in keeping
. up a brisk fire, and in resisting every
, attempt against their fortress and
j- their intrenchments. On one occa-
C sion, when a mine prepared for ex
plosion, and the match actually pla
’ cod, they made a desperate sally, ex
, tinguished the fire and regained the
I fortress in safety.
I On the 23d, the attention of Gen.
Mina was confined to the third tow
j er, the only one now remaining, and
the strongest part of the whole for
’ tress, flatteries was raised so near
’ it that the soldiers were edified all
the evening by listening to the scr
l mons t!ie factious priests in the tower
preached without intermission to the
garrison, which were received with
frequent shouts by the undisciplined
’ congregation. The various sounds
j thus produced, and which might have
, been heard at a great distance through
the stillness of the night, seemed like
’ the mingled cries of maniacs, “ and
j men possessed with devils.” This
might perhaps have been a canve
’ nient opportunity to attack and an
noy tliem, but more decisive mea
t sttres were in preparation, and, as
the account remarks, with a tolera
ble pun in the Spanish, 11 Mina was
| mining,” and had no time to spare.
Romagosa, Mirallos, and Eroles,
were at this time in the neighbour
, hood, with a large army, and contin
( ually threatening to march to the as
sistance of the garrison, so that a bo
( dy of the constitutional cavalry were
| stationed in an important pass and
t completed investment of the place.
| It was ascertained that the enemy
were consuming their provisions with
I prodigality, and thence a concluson
was drawn that they meditated a
’ scheme for escaping, so that Mina
ordered the utmost watchfulness
throughout the camp.
At midnight there arose a most vi
olent storm, the rain fqll In heavy
, torrents, and the darkness was soex
■ freme, that objects could not bo dis
i tinguished at all. The doors of the
fortress were opened without noise,
* and the garrison silently marched out,
■ and began to descend from the rock
i by a narrow ravine. Here they had
- to encounter in succession three of
Mina’s sentinels, th f> two first of
which they dispatched before then 1
approach had been discovered: for
j the darkness of the night completely i
concealed them from sight, and the ■
roaring ofthe tempest entirely drown
ed all the noise they made. The
third sentinel fired his musket, which
alarmed the besiegers, and put them
into confusion. Orders were given
by the officers to abstain from fight
ing, lest in the obscurity they should
1 destroy each other; and while they
I remained in a state of uncertainty, a
large body of insurgents effected their
escape. Mina did not long delay to
storm the fortress, which was easily
carried, together with several forts,
still in possession of the enemy; for
there were scarce sixty m»n found re
maining, with a few supernnuated per.
sons, women,children, and preachers.
The men capable of bearing arms
were executed, but the lives of all the
others were spared. Nine pieces of
cannon fell into the hands of the con
querors, besides a great quantity of
all sorts of ammunition and provi
sions,Which were immediately order
ied to be transported to Calaf and
Cervera.
The great body of the faction were
now encamped in the neighborhood
of the Tora, with the intention of at
tacking the little column of Gurrea,
which occupied that point and com
manded (he passage of Castellfollit.
It was the design of the factious lead
ers, Eroles, Romanillos, Romagpsa,
Mirales and Jep del Estanys, either
to regain Castellfollit, or if that were
impossible, to make themselves mas
ters at least of the artillery and stores,
which they had lately lost. Mina
was acquainted with their intentions,
and on the 26th marched out to give
them battle. The enemy made an
attack with their whole force, which
consisted of 6000 men, upon the
battalion of Corona, which obliged
the commander in chief to attack the
main body in the very advantageous
position which they occupied. The
action was sustained with great brave
ry on both sides for two hours, and
merits the name (says the account)
of the greatest pitched battle ever
fought in Catalonia. A little after
mid-day, Mina made an. attempt to
flank them on their left and to charge
them with the bayonet, and this pro
duced a general and most sanguinary
engagement, in a short time, howe
ver, the factious troops began to give
way, ami were at length thrown into
the utmost disorder and took to flight.
The cavalry of the Hanking company
! made a terrible slaughter, principally
1 among the 200 cuirassiers under the
i immediate command of the apostate
: baron Eroles, who had lately armed
i them with helmets and breast plates
' i brought from France expressly for
i the purpose.
I The loss cf the constitutionalists
II was comparatively small, although
their whole force is stated at loss than
' j one third the number of the urgelines,
' | and the reserve corps was not brought
’ 1 into action. The effect this victory
| has produced in degrading the repu
tation of the insurgents, is of still
, 1 more consequence than the destruc-
I tion of their best troops, and the dis
‘l pcrslon of their army.

ON SLANDER.
Who steals my purse steals trash— 1
’ I'was mine, ’tis lus, & has been slave to thousands: :
Out lie who filches from me my good name,
Takes that which nought enriches him,
And makes me poor indeed.— Shakcipeare.
There is not, in the whole suinma- i
ry of hnman vices, one more detesta- <
bly dark than slander: its insidious: ■
I whisperings, like the baneful Uphas, j
1 carries poison .in every breath; and, i:
! like the blast of the o’erwhelming Si- :
i roc, spreads desolation around it. —!
; Neither the most unquestionable rec-'
! titude, nor the mast unoffending art- \
I lessness, can escape its rancour and !
! malignity. Indiscriminate in its at-:
! tacks, yet often choice in the selec-|
lion of its objects —and, like the fatal;
| disease which loves to revel in the i
bloom of youthful loveliness, so it is 1
.select in the choice of those objects;
j which affords it a wider field for spe
j dilation. The undissembling indi
vidual, who stoops not to the guard
! cd policy of dissimulation—the cre
-1 dulous and unsuspecting mind, untu-
I tored in worldly guile, reared in the
’I depths of monastic solitude, fancies a
j friend in every associate: and those
I •" *
1 i who dare to think and to act with a
I well-meaning independence of feel
i ing, too often rush upon its fatal
1 ; shoals, which leaves them a wreck
1 ; forever! The breath which obscures
i the bright surface of the mirror, may
| be wiped away; but that which is
’ i breathed on the fair fame of female
I purity, can never be erased.
VTis therefore incumbent on every
one to weigh well the merits and de
! merits of an individual ere they pass
a sentence: for, without unequivocal
' | testimony, it is Wrong, unjust and
j cruel to condemn. Hence the sa
cred oracle of truth says— ‘‘ Judge
I not, lest vc be judged.”

We have, before us, a letter from
; Madrid which states that the pay of
, the soldiers in the service of the Roy
alist or Insurgent Regency in the
Norjji of Spain, is eight rials, or forty
cents, a day—“an irresistable temp
tation to a man who desires to eat
and prefers fighting to working for
Ins food; especially when the private
. casualties are considered out of which
a soldier of fortune may indemnify
himselt for the hardships of his pro
fession.” The same writer adds—
“ to account for the formidable force
which has been collected on the side
of the Insurgents, you have only to
recollect the proximity of France and
her resources of money.” Should
the French armies be marched into
Spain, the conduct of the present
t rench government towards her, will
bear a strong affinity to that of Napo
leon. It will have first fomented in
ternal dissensions and thdn taken
them as a pretext for military vin- 1
.ence, in order to do something even *
worse than what Napoleon performed j
there. He substituted one arbitrary (
