THE ILfRP—A TALE.
From the German of the foet JCor
ner:—Addressed l<* such ax belie ve
in (he agency of fijnnts.
The secretary Sellner had begun
to t * s*e the lin»l spin gos liap|>i:iet*s
with his youthful bride. ‘Their u
niou was not founded on that vague
; r»il evanescent passion which often
jives and dies almost in (he same mo
nent—sympathy and esteem formed
the basis ot (heir attachment. Time
find experience, without diminishing
die ardour, had confirmed i!u: per
inanencc of (heir mutual tenliinunts.
It was long since (hey hid discov
ered that tlicy were formed fur each
ot)»cr, but want of fortune imposed
the necessity of a tedious proba
tion; till Sellner, by obtaining the
patent for a place, found himself in
possession of an easy competence,
and, on the following Sunday,'nought
home in triumph his long betrothed
trifle. A succession of ceremonious
visits for sbmj weeks engrossed
many of those hours that the young
couple would have devoted to each
ether. But no sooner was this oner
ous duty fulfilled, than they eagerly
escaped from the inltusion of society
jto their delicious solitude; amt
(he fine summer evening- were but
100 short for plans and anticipations
us tnture felicity. >ellner’s flute and
Josephine's harp, filled up the inter
vals of conversation, and with their
harmonious unison, seemed tos'<und
(he prelude to many succeeding
years of bliss and concord. One
evening, when Josephine bad played
longer ih.tn usual, she suddenly
complained us head ache : —she had,
in reality, risen with this symptom
us indisposition, but concealed it.
from her anxious husband ; naturally
iiuspectible of nervous complaints,
the attention which she had tent to
the music, and the emotions it exci
■ted in her delicate frame, had in
creased a slight indisposition to fc
■ver, and ahe was now evidently ill.
A physician was called in, who so
4 little anticipated danger, that he
{promised a cure on the morrow. But,
after a night spent in delirium, her
disorder was pronounced a nervous
fever, which completely baffled the
efforts of medical skill, and on the
ninth day was confessedly mortal.
Josephine herself was perfectly sen
jible of her approaching >Ussoiu;ion,
end with mild resignation submitted
to her fate.
Addressing her husband, for the
last time, she exclaimed:— “ %
dear Edward, Heaven can witness,
■si is with unutterable regret that 1
.depart from this fair world, where
I have found with thee a state of su
i peine felicity; but though lam no
uug'.r permitted to live in those
arms doubt nut thy faithful Joseph
ine shall still hover round thee,
and ns a guardian angel encir
«le thee till we meet again.”
She had scarcely uttered these words,
when she sunk on flic pillow, and
soon fell into a slumber, from which
she awoke immure ; and when the
clock woe striking tune, it was ob
served (hat she had breathed tier
Tin; agonies of Sellner may
be more easily conceived than de
scribed. Daring some days it ap
peared doubtful whether be would
survive; and wfjen, after a confine
ment of some weeks, he was at lengtn
permitted to leave his chamber, the
fmw era of youth seemed paralysed,
ils limbs were enfeebled, his frame
emaciated, and he sunk itifo a state
of stupor, from which he was only
to be roused by the bitterness of
grief. To this poignant anguish
succeeded a fixed melancholy; a
deep sorrow consecrated the memo
ry of his beloved; her apartment
remained precisely in the state in
•which it had been left previous to
herdeath;—on the work-table ley
her unfinished task; the harp sioud
in its accustomed nook, untouched
and silent; every night Sellner went
in a sort of pilgrimage to the sanc
tuary of his love, and taking his
flute, breathed forth, in deep, plain
tive tones, his fervent aspirations
for the cherish’d shade, lie was thus
standing in Josephine’s apartment,
lost in thought, when a broad gleam
of moonlight fell on the open win
dow’, and from the neighbouring
tower the watchman proclaimed the
ninth hour; at this moment, as if
touched by some invisible spirit, the
harp was hoard to respond to his
flute, in perfect unison. Thunder
struck at this prodigy, Sellucr sus
pended his flute, and the harp be
came silent; he then began, with
deep emotion, Josephine’s favourite
air, when (he harp resumed its me
lodies vibrations, thrilling with ecs
t *y. At this confirmation of his
hope!,, he sunk oo the ground, no
o ger doubling the presence us tie
evi V I "V
j bela&^piwtrpfctfd whilst he
ted ms arms to claCTrher to ids breast,,
seemed to drink in -(lie breath of
spring, and a pale glimmering light
flitted before his eyes. “1 know
thee, blevyi d spirit,” exclaimed the
bewildered Sellner, thou didst prom
ise to hover round iny steps, to
encircle me witn thy word j it is
thy breath that glows on my lips ; 1
leol myself surrounded by thy pre
sence.” V\ ith laptutous emotion,'
he snatched the flute, and (he harp
again responded, and gradually its
tones become softer, till the melo
dious murmurs ceased, and all again
was *ilent. Sellner’* fee ole frame
was completely disordered by these
tumultuous emotions; when he threw
himself on bis bed, it was only to
rave deliriously of the harp; after
a sleepless n’ghtlic arose only to an
ticipate the renewal of his emotions;
with unspeakable impatience he a
waited the. return ol evening, when
he again repaired to Josephine’s ap
artment, where as before, when the
clock struck nine, the harp began
to p'ay, in concert with the flute, and
prolonged its melodious accompani
ment till the (rncs gradually subsi
ded to a faint mid tremulous vibra
tion, and ait again was silent. Ex-
Itaus ed by this second trial, it was
with difficulty that Kellner tottered
to his chamber, where the visible
alteration in his appearance excited
so much alarm, that the physician
was again called in, who, with sor
row and dismay, detected aggrava
ted symptoms of the fever which had
proved so fatal to Josephines and so
rapid was its progress, that in two
day s the patient’s fate appeared in
evitable, Sellner became more com
posed, and revealed to the physician
the secret of his late mysterious
communications, avowing his belief,
tiat lie should not survive the ap
proaching evening. No arguments
could remove fur bis mind this fatal
; pres ige; as the day declined itgain
; ed strength; and he earnestly en
treated, as a last request, to be con
veyed to Josephine’s apartment
, Tiic prayer was granted. Sellner
no sooner reached the well known
spot than he gazed with ineffable
satisfaction on every object endear
, cd by affectionate remcinberance.
i The evening hour advanced ;he
dismissed his attendants, the phys
■ ician alone remaining in the apart
■ • ment. When the clock struck nine,
, Sellncr’s countenance was suddenly
i illumined, the glow of hope and
: pleasure flushed his wan chocks,
, and he passionately cxJaimed—
“ Josephine, greet me once more at
parting, that i may overcome the
pangs of death* At these words,
the harp breathed forth a strain of
jubilee* a sudden gleam of light
waved round the dying man, who,
, on beholding the sign, exclaimed—
“ I come, 1 come to thee,” and
sunk senseless on the couch.—lt
‘ was in vain that the astonished physi
cian hastened to hia assistance, and
, he too late discovered that life bud
yielded in the conflict. It was long
before fie could bring himself' to di
vulge the mysterious circumstances
which had proceeded Sellncr’s dis
solution ; out once, in a moment
of confidence, he was insensibly led
to make the detail to a few intimate
f»lends, and finally produced the
harp, which he had appropriated to
himself, as a legacy from the dead.

How now, ye bfnek and" picrbnhl “hagsj
" What is’t ye do ?”
From iho S. York Advocate..
Africans —People ofcolor general
ly me very, imitative, quick in their
conceptions and rapid in execution;
but it o ibe lighter pursuits requiring
no intensity of thought or depth of
reflection. It may be questioned
whether they could succeed in the
abstruse sciences, th ugh they have,
nevertheless, some fancy and hu
mour, and the domestics of res
pectable families are complete sac
nimilcs of the different branches of
it, not only in dress but in habits
and manners.
Among the number of ice cream
gardens in this city, there was none
in which the sable race could find
admission and refreshment. Their
modicum us pleasure was taken on
Sunday evening, when the black
dandy* ami dandizettes, after at
tending meeting, occupied the side
walk* in Broadway, and slowly
lounged towards their different
homes. As their number increased,
and their conseouence strengthened;,
partly from high wages, high living,
and the elective franchise; it was
considered necessary to have a
place of amusement for them ex
clusively. Accordingly, u garden
has been opened samewWe back of
the hospital called African Grove i
not spicy as those us Arabia, (but
let that pass) at which the ebony
lad* and lasses could obtain ice
cream, ice punch, and hear music
from the big drum and clarionet.
Ihe little boxes in this garden were
filled with black beauties “ making
night hideous j” and it was not an
ucinlaf ©filing sight Xa aliJcrve the
/<r*y
cnfrci of a linppy jnir. The gmtlc
,'man with his. wool nicely coubcd, i
ami his lace shining through a coat 5
of swept oil, borrowed IVorj the I
castors; cravat tight to aulfuation, *
Having the double faculty of widen- 1
ing the mouth and giving a retiark- j
abie protuberance to the eyes ; blue i
coat fashionably cut; red ribbon
ami a bunch. t f pinchbeck seals;
wide pantaloon*; shining boo's,
gloves, and a tippy rattan. The
lady, with her pink kid slippers;
her fine Leghorn, cambric dress,
with open work ; corsets well littrd;
reticule, hanging on her arm.. Thus
accoutered and caparisoned, these
black liisliioiiab es saunter up and
down the garden, in all the pride of
liberty and unconsciousness ol want.
In their address, salutations,familiar
phrases, and compliments, their imi
tative faculties are best exhibited.
After a vile concerto by the garden
band, a company of four in a box
commenced conversation, having
disposed of a glass of ice cream
each.
“ You, like music, Miss ? Can’t
say 1 like it much, i once could
play Paddy Cary, on the Piano:
our young ladies learnt me. Did
you eber near Phillips sing, “Is dare
a heart dat neber lov'd”? 1 sing
lactly like him. Harry tell ua some
news, lie Greeks are gone to war
wid dc Turks. Oh! dat’s hery
1 clever; and our gentlemen said at
• dinner yesterdv, dat de Greeks had
■ taken Constantinople, and all de
I wives of de Dey of Algiers. O
> shocking! Veil, Miss, ven is de
» happy day f ven vill you enter de

1 with dese delicate tings. Beg par

, who did you vote for at de election?
Dc fedi ilists to be sure, I never

. how you like to go to de Springs ?
I should’nt like it; too many negers

> 'Thus they run the rounds of

! Statue Washington.
I We have seen an elegant en
t graving of this Statue, brought out
-by an officer of the Columbus, paid
1 to he n very excellent resemblance
1 of the marble. If this be true, wc
r have no doubt the work will gratify
. the pm.lie for its classical elegance*
s and masterly execution; but it will
. not convey to posterity a just idea
of the likeness or costume cf our
Washington. It is the more cjtra
; ordinary that CaAiva should have
failed in the likeness; perhaps no
1 distinguished character of modern
, times, lias ever been more faithful
ly represented, both in painting and
sculpture, than Washington. His
portraits by Stuart, and hi* bust by
Hudon, the French artist, are illus
trations of each other, and are finish
ed likenesses of the original head
It could not have been difficult for
Canova to have obtained copies of
both. 'This likeness, it is reported,
was taken from a portrait of Gene
ral Washington, in possession of the
American Consul at Leghorn. ,
The q ic-dion respecting the cos-,
tume of the figure, we suppose, will
excite much warmth of controversy.
According to the theory vs the mo
dern Italian school, all stiluary
should !;e in the antique taste Ca
nova has represented Washington
seated, his body erect, with a ta
blet resting on Ids knee, and a stj 1c
10 his hand, composing, as may be
supposed, the farewell address to
his fellow-citizens. The sword
lays neglected atbis/eet Hit-arms
and legs are bare, and he has some
loose drapery thrown over him, Gre
cian folds. The Statue is noble and
. dignified—hut it is neither Washing
ton, nor the figure of a modern per
sonage.
There is a great deal to be said in
favor of t costume which ns never
. out of fashi m, ami the beauty ol
which will last forever. To attain
to such an unsophisticated resem
blance of an individual, as to secure
present popularity and future .re
nown, is a work diffi'ult of execu
tion. This Canova has attempted,
and the present popularity of the
work, we suspect, will not be sur
passed by its future renown.
Chantry, the English sculptor, is
engaged on the Statue of Washing
ton for the inhabitants of (his state ; 1
hut we understand he thinks it no- 1
cessmy to clothe his figure in the 1
motley and changing fashions of the
age io vthich the subject Huuifithed,
To this style of drapery we have
a very decided .objection. There is,
an air of the grotesque in old fami
ly pictures, arising from (he oddity
of ancient fashions and dresses. And
in some respects, the strangeness ol
,thc costume becomes absolutely ri
diculous. No drapery wc appre
hend, is faster approaching to this
point of the lud erous than the old
continental military uniform. It is
ainusing to be told that we must ad
here to the triangular hat because it
is true to nature. All modern per
sonages must of course be covered
—but there is no necessity for cover
ing them grotesquely. During
some period of long life, every in
dividual will probably have worn a
becoming dress, a dress distinguish
ed by no extravagance of local fash
ion—but indicating both elegance
and good taste. Such a costume,
should lie selected for Washington
and in such a costume whether it he
a plain robe or a military cloak,
would his figure W transmitted to
posterity to me admi ration of all he
holders.

By the arrival of the ship Triton
at tliis port, intelligence has been re
ceived from England, one day later
than was brought by the James IVlun
-10c at New York. * The preparations
for the coronation, which was to
have taken place 011 the 19th ult.
were in rap d progress, and seemed
to be the topic ol general interest.—
Parliament was in session, and gieat
efforts appear to be making on the
part of the opposition, to introduce
a systcm'.of economy am] retrench
ment. The present ministry .011 al
most evv-ry question have a decided
majority. Mr. Denman, however,
in the course ol debate, took occa
sion to remark, that there had not
been four divisions during the Ses
sion, when the number of placemen
in the house, That the 71 gentle
men, who held places, were diligent,
pairers off, and that their influence
was accordingly felt in all its force.
Parliament vwas to be prorogued
soon, to make room for the prepqjrjk"
lions for the coronation, ' :
Speaking of some reported changes
in the adm;nisffaiton ? the London
Courier has the following remarks.
A (ie»li prnjet j[not of a new Ad
m-lustration, Tor that to-the
most sanguine member of the oposi
tion is utterly hopeless) has appear
ed in the Morning Chronicle of to
day. It affects to make several im
portant moves in and out of the Cab
inet, and displaces cue member to
make room lor another, jvith won
derful facility. We think we saw
the same projrt in another paper ab
out three weeks ago .-—Courier.
The intelligence from Spain rep
resents that country to be in a .very
unsettled state. But this is to be
considered, that,coming through the
French ministeral papers, intelli
gence of this character is to be receiv
ed with some grains of allowance*—
Accounstdirect from Spain, receiv
ed in this country and in the Havana,
represents Spain &s comppiitively
tranquil.
T he probability of the suppression
of the efforts of (lie Greeks and of
the restoration of the Turkish au
thority over .the revolted provinces,
is not-diminished. From a para
graph under the London head, it svill
be seen, that even in the Morea,
the Turks stilt maintain themselves,
and are preparing to completely re
establish their authority.'
LONDON, June 29.
Letters dated the 10th inst. have
been received in town from Corfu.
!>y the latest accounts from the Mo
rea, the Turks, though much strait
ened for previsions, still held pus
session of (lie principal fortresses.
The Turks are said to be collecting
aii army of 30,000 men at Adiian
ople. Great numbers of Greeks
have been put to death in that city,
including several heads of families
of the fii»tconsequence.—These let
ters enable os to contradict the te
port in French papers of the death of
Jilt Facha. He still defended him
self in a fortress of the Tike of Jaan

fblsof gunpowder, with the resolu
tion U .overpowered of destroying
self and ail his followers.

DOMESTIC
From the Philadelphia Natijnal Gazette-
SELF HEBTECT.
We are told in one of the New-YcT
papers that “ ills Uoyal Highness t( tt .
Duke o( York, commander in chief of the
British foicts, has given directions to Mr.
Buchanan, the British consul at New
York, to remove the bones of major An
die for the purpose of depositing them
near the monument, erected to the me
mory ot that gallant, but unfortunate of
ficer, in Westminister Abbey." 'lheA
merican editor adds, " This measure re
lit cts great credit upon the patties con.
, cenied. Major Andre, it is well known,
was employed by Gsu. Clinton, comman
der in chief of the British forces in the
country during the revolutionary war, to
uegneiate with Arnold concerning the
base treachery which the latter,meditated
aj'V.at the safety tfful independence of
fusc ainlry. idowever much we jrmy re- 1
gi.et that the rules of War admit of such a
* correspondence as was carrying on be
tween Clinton and ArnoiJ, apd however
unfortunate it may he, that ollicers of
high standing and character, and of the
nicest t:e/r e of honor should.be singled
out for such a service, such is the fuel,
and such, it is to be ft ared, will be the
fact, so long as war shall be fashionable a.
niong nations."
We arc sorry that we are compelled to
express our humble dissent from the opi
nions thus conveyed, that we cannot think
it either wise or creditable for the parties
1 concerned to take £the step in question,
especially .with any public forms and an
uuuciation. If it be considered one o?
justice and national .duty, jtg tardiness re
flects disgrace—but, in truth, it is not
■ now, nor was it ever meet and .fitting,
i and more judgment and sound principle
, would have been shown in abstaining
from reviving the memory of the subject.
There is no transaction among those
1 of our revolutionary war, more disreputa
ble to the British name, than the tamper
-1 jug with Arnold, in all its details. The
> treachery of the Anierican general was,
~ indeed, as the New York editor properly
designates it, 6ate~- and the function of
the British officer, selected as negotiator,
could nut, but partake of its nature. The’
commission was incompatible with the
, “nicest sense’of honor," and its vileness
was declared and sealed in the ignomini
, ous doom of the man, inflicted by one of
the just.cst and noblest of the human
‘ race
l That the war waged by Great Britain
ppon her Colonies, was corrupt and ty
rannical in its origin, nefarious and de
, slructive in its purpose, and detestable
' jit its course, is now conceded, of reces
> sity, by the intelligent politicians of alb
I parties in Great Britain. The declared'
object of the instigation and abetment of'
, Amok}*—the eager wisfi.and fond hope of
' Andre, as expressed in his letters, ( vvere
to bring that war at once to H successful
1 termination —to rivet Ajie chains of the'
British ministry on America; not by fair
combat, but by means pf the secret pro
. cess of the basest treason, jit is not per
haps, recollected, that one of the arrange
ments of the plot, was to make prisoner
' of General Washington-—-.that tfiis ar
rangement was suggested and insisted on
. by Andre, while even Arnqld was stag
gered by the proposition—that Andre, in;
( the prosecution of the enterprize, used a
flag of truce lo.jreapb the American lines.
Upon this feature of the affair, a foreign
1 writer makes these remarks.—
“1 should pot omit to notice in this
place the just censures that have been
passed on this abuse of a signal, under
shelter of which mankind have stipulated
to approach each other with pacific in
- tentions, even aqud the fiercest animosi
; lies of war. -Hostilities are, at once, sus
pended at the sight of a flag; enemies
hold discourse, and agree upon matters of
reciprocal utility. The most savage na
tions make knowp to each other,by esta
’ bllshed signals, that they wsh to parley
, —even upon the field of battle—and
they respect those signals, tit is true that
the laws of war have not prohibited the
seducempnts by which a general of an en-
I. emy is led astray from his duty-—t'
‘ But to employ a flag of truce, in order to
■ advance a scheme of treason, is to hide
, the sword under the olive branch —to se
. ver the last tie that can unite the species,
i when those of benevolence and humani
ty are dissolved One regrets to see go
1 high minded a soldier as Andre, so little
i scrupulous on this point.”
The case, in truth, is far from indicat
ing “the nicest sense of honor" —which
moreover, was as little indicated by the
assertion of Andre, after his seizure, that
the result of his being discovered would
1 hjsve been different had he possessed
more money and valuables than were a
bout his person,, to offer to his captors,
the three husbandmen. The
general tram of circumstances proves this
to be an aspersion, and every Ameripon is
bound to himself find his country to be
lieve it auch unless the contrary be une
quivocally proved.
Andre was a soldier of fortune, Intre
pid, no doubt, and of captivating manners
and agreeble conversation; but he was.
l>ung rightfully as a spy engaged in car- >
rying into effect a foul treason, for a ge
neral end vjvhich we, the .United States,-
must ever hold in abhorence. What cre
dit therefore, can redound to the British:
government, from placing his remains in;
Westminister Abbey, among those of the,
national worthies, is not easy to be per-'
ceived. He was not conspicuous /or any
great force of genius, or extensive mili
tary attainments; he had rendered po sig
nal services: hence, if bis memory be
now specially -honored by the com
mander in chief of all the Drilisli.forces,”
it must be on account of his haying pe
rished in »n enterprise, which os the ablest
British statesmen have often declared,
, would, had it succeeded, have entailed
political servitude not only on America,
. but on the whole British empire
We war not with the dead, andean
have no interest nor inclination to dispa
rage the memory of Andre. This is a
question of history mid national feeling,
both of which are to be maintained, if pos
sible, in their purity and integrity. The
personal merits of the individual were
much exaggerated—and a mawkish, over
wrought sympathy, which it is lime to
discard, was produced by monodies and
female uluiutiom. Among the objects of
most concern for this country at this
time is, we think, the cultivation of an
American tone of sentiment, as regards
the past as well the present the
future.
