DOMESTIC address lived (Quarters. Division oj tint South* Moktpelier, May 31, 1821. This day Officers and soldier®, ifitises uiy military functions, and consequently, dissolves the military connection which has hitherto exis 4etl between'you and myself, as the commander of the Southern Division of Ihe army of the United States.- Many of us have passed together days of toll and nights of vigdence. 'logeth' r we have seen the termina tion of one British, and of two Indi an wars, in winch we have encoun tered fatigues, privations, and dan gers, attachments and friendships, ginned by associations of this kind, are the most durable, and jny feelings will not permit me in retiring from my military command, to take a si lent leave ut my companions in arms. Justice to you,and to my own feel ings, requires that 1 should place be fore our common country, the testi tnony of my approbation of your mi litary conduct, and the expression ts my individual regard Under the present organisation for the reduc tion of the army, agreeably to the a x of congress, many valuable offi cers who have served with me, have been suddenly deprived of the pro fession which they had embraced, and thrown upon the world ! But let this be your consolation, that the gratitude of your country still che lishcs you, as her defenders ami de liverers, while wisdom condemns the hasty and ill-timed policy which has » occasioned your disbandment, and that too while security was yet to be given to our extensive frontier by the erections of the necessary forti fications for its defence, greatly ex tended as that frontier has been, by the recent acquisition of the Flori da#! But you fellow soldiers, have that which cannot be taken from you, the consciousness of having done your duty, and with your brother of ficers who are retained, of having defended the American Eagle wher ever it was endangered. To you my brother officers, who are retained in the service of your country, permit me to recommend the cultivation of that harmony and friendship towards each other, which will render you a band of brother*. }i is your duty so to conduct your selves on all occasions, as that your enemies shall have no just cause for censure, it ought to be borne in mind that every captain should he ’ll his company as a father, and should treat it as his family—as his children. Continue then, as heretofore, when finder my command, to watch over it with a father’s tenderness & care; treat them like children, admonish them, and if unhappily admonition will not have the desired effect, co cruonmust. The want of discipline and order, will inevitably produce a of insubordination, as destruc s*lo an qqpy as cowardice, and will as certainly lead to disaster and disgrace in the hour of battle ; this, os you regard your military reputa tion, and your country’s good, you must prevent. Imploring from Hea ven a blessing upon you all, 1 bid you au affectionate adieu. ANDREW JACKSON, Jtlajor-General Commanding the Division of the South. Note—My official duties having prevented the promulgation of this order until this time, an opportunity lias been afforded, of seeing the General Order,' dated Head Quar ters of the army of the United states, Washington City, Jane Ist, 1821,’’ signed “ Jacob Brown.” Justice to the officers of the Southern Division, as well as to myself, compels me toi offer some remaiks upon the follow ing extiact from that order. “ The prevalence of desertion has been an evil ol serious magnitude, and it does not appear to be justified by a view ot the past condition of the. military establishment. All research, in tills field for its causes, has been unsatisfactory ; the character of the millitary profession is honorable, the soldier is as well provided with com forts as the citizen in common life, and his occupation is neither more offensive nor more laborious ; there are restless, discontented spirits in every sphere of life, which no indul - gence nor kindness can bind to ala bilityjbut these examples do not ex ist in sufficient number to justify-the range desertion has taken in the army, the evil must be refered in a degree loan undue severity, or to the absence of system in the conduct of officers towards their men. The officers is the depository ot the rigid* of the soldier and the obligation of office, ns well as the laws ol honor & humanity, claim a faithful execution of the t.nst. When the Soldier cease# to regard the officer as his protector (he authority with which the law in vest tne latter, loses its efficacy in his estimation; the surest remedy for ihe evil of desertion is contained inarigul &. steady dicipliuc ; to be salutary it must possess both these qualities ; but no violation of law can be deem ed essential to its enforcement. It# effect upon the soldier becomes im paired, the moment I he feels that this system which governs him is tinctualing in its coyrse, or that it violates the principles upon which it is founded. The certainty of laws constitute their principle efficacy, and however severe restrictions may be, they are obeyed, so long as they are dispensed by the hand of justice and not oppression.” This censure is too general tube just. The time at which it is made, and the. source whence it conies, have astonished every generous soldier. The part which attributes in a de gree to an undue severity, or to the absence of system in the conduct of officers towards their men, the unex emplod prevalence of desertion in our army, so far as relates to the Division of the South, I do unhesitatingly say is not founded on fact. It is due to candor, audio truth, to attribute this evil to Its real cause; this will befounU to exist in the want of adequate pun ishment for the crime oideSeitibn; that prescribed b) law, in a state of peace, transcends the offence, ami no other certain punishment is authoris ed- While this is the case, desertion will increase, let the conduct ol the officers towards their men be ever so lenient. It is a well known fact, that move desertions have taken place at recruiting rendezvous than have occurred in the Regiments, and at no recruiting reiulezvis in- the Division ol the South, has there been as far as I am informed, any punish ment inflicted upon soldiers, except ing by the civil aulliorily. It is well known that in many instances the soldier, has found it a source of spec ulation to go from rendezvous to rendezvous, receiving the bounty and deseiting; in some instances tin# has been practised from Boston to N. Orleans. The punishment at present inflicted for desertion, i# hard labor with the b ill and chain, but this bears more heavily upon the faithful soldier who is compelled to guard the con vict under a hot sun with all his .ic coutreiaents on, than it docs upon him whom it is intended to punish. Everv deserter therelore but adds to the duties, and increases the fatigues ot the faithful and trusty soldier And suppose the coavict will not la bor, by what menus is he to be coerc ed ? Stripes and lashes are pml.ant ed—there are no dungeons ; guard houses aro pleasant places for the lazy worthless soidier who sleeps ami snores, while the faithful centiuel is at bis post guarding him on his night ly watch. Is not this, with the gen eral pardons so frequently* extended by tbe orders of tbe President, cal culated to cause the best soldiers who are oppressed with double duty in guarding the worst, to meditate de ■ section also ? The government must annex an adequate and certain pun i isluneut for the crime of desertion, \ am| experience compels me to say ft, . although at variance with the more « refined and sensitive feelings of the i day—must rcstorejcorporcal punish . j merit in the regulations for the gov -11 eminent ofjjic aripy, U fortperly [ • existed,and as it now fcjusUin the Navy, or desertion and insubordina tion will still increase. Itissaidto be dishonorable ; why should it be more so in the army than in the navy? Is it more dishonorable to receive twenty-live stripes and be ordered to immediate duty, than to be manacled with chains for months and years, an object of disgust to every freeman, who sees him, more properly an ap pendage of ancient despotism, than any thing belonging to .Republican institutions! Let the deserter in time of peace for the first offence re ceive thirty nine stripes, lor the second double that number, and tor the thud offence let him feel the highest penalty of tl will venture to say that a few examp'es will put an end to that extraordinary frequency of desertion which at pi e sent prevails, and the cause of which has been so unjustly im'puted “ loan undue severity or to the absence of system in the conduct of officers to wards their men.” I sincerely regret the cause which has given rise to these remarks, hut the reputation of those officers in com mon with whom I have encountered so many toils and dangers is dear to me, and 1 cannot remain silent wtien I perceive an unjust attempt to tar nish their well earned fame, let the motives wluch dictated tne objection able passage bo what they may. These remarks iny brothei officers How from a pure source of justice to you. Popularity I have never sought. I have pursued the course which 1 deem right, and have done justu e to all according to my best judgement. This I trust f,have rendered to you allduring the time 1 had the honor tocomnundyou!

Extract of a private letter, dated St. Helena, May 15. « Bonaparte’s grave was about 14 fee-, deep, very wide at the top, but the lower part chambered to receive the coffin. One large stone covered the whole of the chamber. The re maining space was filled up with so lid masonary, clamped with (Iron. — Thus every precaution is taken to prevent the refpoval gj Uody, and f betieve it has been still as much by the desire of the French commission*, as from the wish of the government of the Island.

His heart, which Bertram and Montholon earnestly desired to take with them to Europe, was re stored to the coffin, butit remains in a silver cup, filled with spirits. His stomach,Kis Surgeon was anxious tu preserve, but that isaiso restored, & is in another silver cup. “ Bertrand, Montholon, and the rest of his household will return to England in the Camel store ship, which sails in about a fortnight. “ Drawings have bees taken by capt.

From the London Courier , June 26. The following letter from Smyrna, has been received this morning bv • • • an eminent commercial house in this city. Its contents will tend to allay the anxious fears of the friends of those of our country men who are now in that ci/y ; “ Smyrna, M>y 17, 1821. “ My lust would apprise you of the disturbed stnte of pu die feeling iu this country, arising out of the a boi live efforts of Yprilanti and his followers in Europe. X mentioned that many, indeed, 1 might have said, daily r alarms were excited by the well-founded terrors of the guilty, communicated to the whole popula tion, Turks us well as Christians.—• The moderation ot these people, how ever, and the vigilance and prudence of the governor, supported our hopes and had nearly dispelled our fears, when information of the rebel fleet having approached the coast and in tercepted several vessels, re-awak ened all apprehension. Business be came at once suspended, and all was dismay and fearful foreboding—day after day increased our anxiety tor the appearance of a ship of war from Malta, in compliance with th'tf Con sul’s and Factory’s urgent applica tion. Notwithstanding all this, how ever, life and property remained safe, until the arrival of a division of sav age and disorderly troops for the Morea, in different detachments, which were embarked at a distance from the city; but as daily accounts were received of the dispositions and progress of the vessels outside, an embargo was tonsiuefed ncctss&ry , for the purpose of withholding such supplies as might be affoided by the provisions carried from this place. The troops also were detained, and their supplies failing, boat, load after boat load of them arrived from the lower Castle ; and the streets i quickly became filled with worthless, ferocious strangers, to whom every tiling was new ; hungry savages, wlio knowing no distinction but .Mussul man and tnfidel, confound all Christ , ians with Greeks ; and, on fanatical grounds alone, would involve all in a common ruin. Their insolence ami the nature of their feelings becoming every hour inure apparent, a meeting of the Consuls was again held, from which proceeded a remonstrance to the local authorities, who were row become alarming inefficient, and sen* sible of their weakness, had called in the aid of a powerful Pacha, in the neighbourhood. In this t-taie of things, the Race-ho.se brig of war or ■ lived from iSiaita, a vessel of too in significant force to make any im press! n ; indeed she had sailed pre viouvly to the arrival of Mr Weny’s 'etter. Assassination now began ; three Austrian subjects were shot n a fishing boat; every morning wer reports of three or four more Greeks iDisSai red in the roads to the d fie rent villages ai length, three days ago the factories were assembled, and every thing seemed iapidly hastening to a dreadful crisis. Precautions wore taken against fire by building up windows, &c. All the English and oth rs families flocked in from the villages—and many families having gone on board the different vessels in the bay, I hastened on board of* one, and having secured a place for my family, 1 had them * onveyed on board in the evening, with the ser vants, who, poor devils, being Greeks, have every tiling to dread. On Ike day following, to our inex pressible satisfaction, an English man of war was seen under a press of sail, approaching the Castle. Her appearance was the cause of univer sal jay and gladness; the very French cried out, ‘we are saved !’ and we hailed them as our deliverers when she anchored amongst us in the afternoon. It now appeared, that in passing the Castle, she was fired at from upwards of a hundred mus kets, a ball from one of which passed through a midshipman’s hat. Hiu»p ily, however, fur us, capt. Boswell s good sense overcame his resentment; and although he beat to quarters, he reserved his fire. A remonstrance on this account was immediately made to the governor, who waited on our intrepid and venerable consul, at ten o’clock at night, to express Ins sorrow, and to promise satisfaction. In addition to lids ship (the Spey, of 20 guns) four others are daily looked for, the Cambrian, a large frigate, and the admiral, I trust also, in the Kochftfort, 84 The effect already has been astonishing ; to day we have heard of no murders, and I have re-landed my family, depending up on my friends in the Spey to look out for us m case of need. A public crier has gone about, desiring the shops to be opened, and the vaga bonds have been directed to repair to the Castle and to their ships, from whence they will not, I b ust, return. My intention at the commencement I of this sheet was to be brief ; tny anx iety, however, to calm the apprehen sions which may be excited on our account by the tidings which would otherwise reach our friends, h*s led me to be more circumstantial) hurri ed though I am.” The following is also an extract of a letter from the Agent to Lloyd’s at Smyrna,dated May 17 : “ We wrote to you on the 3d inst. a few clays after which a general em bargo was laid by (he local authorities on all merchants vessels in this port, in consequence of the appearance at the entrance of our gulf and before Scio, of a great number of armed Gre< k vessels helongin to tr.e islands in the Archipelago, that have revolt ed against the Tu; ks. “ They have no< attempted to en ter into this bay,neither do we think that they will hazard it. The Ca»tie at the entrance has been put in the best state of defence. Several Turk ish vessels have, however, been capt ured ; and all the Turks found on board massacred, which has irritated amazingly the Turks here. “No molestation or insult what ever has been offered by the Greeks to vessels under the European flag ; and we have not heard of any pirates being in these seas. Good protec tion has been afforded to British sub* jects and property, by the presence of his Majesty’s ships Spey and Race horse, which arrived a few days since from Malta, and a greater naval force is expected from thence.
