Hob Huy. — Plus celebrated clia racier, whose name now stands gib betted, if I may use the expression, to a sort of darkling immortality, by tlie pen of the “great unknown,” spent (lie long evching of his Iron bulous life in a state of armed neu trulily, within the walls of bis own domicil, not far from Dumbarton, and about thirty miles north west of l*oi tli. in the shire of that name.— lie was not known then as Hob liny. Out familiarly as the Thief of (llenaloon. At the English Court, however, and among those of high er note, to whom Ins hostility was terrible, lie was equally well known by the portentous appellation of The .Met tremor! Tlu> “Creature Dotigal,” was a real character, living many years ip the vicinity after his great waster's exit, and was not unlike the per trail given of him. Ills true name, however, was Tcu'rGori’uoi. (tor ilon, though easy enough in a very bumble way of life, from the littlt j donations of shillings and sixpences be would occasionally receive from (he young and curious, and the con stant hospitality cf.ill classes in the neighborhood of Ins little den or cabin, was yet an arrant and incor rigible thief; it seemed to lie in tho very complexion of his nature.— Whatever little tiling be could lay his hands on, in the houses he visit ed, was sure to disappear. At the residence of one gentle man where he was wont to call in his occasional perambulations, and when he hail now become so old that he coltld scarce crawl about, tiie servants and younger people of the family one day put Ins cupidity to a laughable but rattier cruel test. ’ ■After dinner, and when he had just liKm full fed with ail the varieties a , good table afforded, and was most . comfortably situated on a form hv ■ the fire,-ami enjoying his darling luxury, bis pipe, tin y roguishly placed dov|j? close by Ins side, a kit He of stMomiug Lot potatoes. The temptation was too much far “ the creature, Dotigal.” to withstand ; , . . .«• m and forthwith turning over bis shoffldcr a cautions eye, to see ii all eyes fcere turned from him, began, every now and then, as opportunity served, to snatch up his brawny hand full of the boiling potatoes, and stow them away in his bosom. After enjoying themselves to their, hearts’ content, at the expense of, the poor fellow’s half parboiled. ribs, they loaded him down with a, good store of provision, and let him depart.—After his death, there was: found m his miserable hermitage,; tiie amount of nine or ten pounds,! in shillings and sixpences, the fruit j of petty donations through a course . of years. The Bailie Nicol Jamie, too, was I a real personage, and his name is i correctly preserved to him. Ihe ‘ narrator of the loregoing, lias now ; in his possession in this city, the! identical, huge leather purse, Pub; used to wear in his girdle ; and from which, we can even now almost fancy we can see the stern outlaw, in one exigence, and another, dis pensing his soljiLthousands, (from his exactions, o» Ihrte wealthy wick ed,) to aid his mends, and cheer the oppressed ; to rescue from the toils of villany, a Francis Os haldiston, and <t Diana Vernon, a T)e Vet non, Frank Oshaldis ton. “ Betsey Bell and .1 far// dray, liny p ere lien bonnie lasses. They digged a bower on yon burn, side, ami I hatched it o'er wi rushes." The mournful and untimely fate „fthese sweet blossoms ofiaiftiCence and hehuty, whose loveliness is so well depicted in the admired old song of which the foregoing are the two first versos, is not probably known 1 to many. During the mortal plague, which raged in Scotland abotrf the 1 middle of tho 16th century, these “ two hoiiniii lassses,” in a mingled, spirit, perhaps ol romance and pru | dent, caution, retired to a pleasant “ hum side,” on (he estate of Lord • , in Perthshire, where they limit them a little? house ol the f shrubs and hushes that waved in sweet luxuriance around them ; and j providing for a supply of such com forts of nature as they should di rect, desi-med lo remain in their happy sec lusion till the terrors of (he posliletic.o were overpast. Put ho tv vain are all the cautions and preventives of human foresight, against the appointments of heav en. A lover of one of the fair friends, impelled by alTection, made a visit to their asylum, and bore with him tiie mortal infection somehow tin ( UII!U l“iiot f tn/u in mg. The dear object of bis soul’s regard, fell the first victim. The companion of her retirement, short ly followed ; and the same moss grown grave which wraps their common clay, is still pointed out to the passing traveller, and is still hallowed by a thousand tender sen timents. A sprig of the moss was plucked and preserved, by the same narrator on Ids last visit to (lie borne of his father’s, near the consecrated spot. Macbeth. —From the prostrated ruins of the castle of this bold n sni per, situated about 60 miles from Edinburgh, the slime gentleman al so preserved a fragment. McDuft’s castle still remains in the vicinity, a few mile* from it, hut not so much dilapidated as that of.Macbeth, hav ing been formerly dismantled anti demolished. A walking cane, cut from “ Pernham wood,” may also he seen in tho same gentleman’s Ca binet. FROM “ A VOICE FROM ST. HELENA.” BONAPARTE. Burning If Moscow. — I was in the ' midst of a line city provisitmed fop a | year, for in Russia they always lay | in provisions for several months j ‘before the frosts set in. Stores of all kinds were in plenty. The I houses ot the inhabitants wore well provided, and may had even left their servants to attend upon us.—- • in most "1 idem (hero was a notej left by Ihe people tor, begging the French officers ho took possession !o take e ire. of (heir furniture and [ other things; (hat they had left | every article necessary for oun wants, and hoped to return in a few j days when the Emperor Alexander! bail accommodated matters,at which I time they would he happy lo see us. | Many ladies remained behind.— They knew that 1 had beui in Ber lin ami Vq nm with my armies, ami that no injury had been done to the inhabitants, and moreover, they ex- 1 peeled a speedy peace. We were in hopes of enjoying ourselves in winter quartets, wit It' every pros- j petst of success in the spring. Two' day* after our arrival, a fire was discovered, which at first w is not supposed to be alarming, but to have been Rinsed by the soldiers kindling their fires too near the bom-os, which were chiefly of wood. I was angry at this and issued very strict or iers on the subject to the commandants of the regiments and others, ihe next day it had advanced, but still not so as to give serious alarm. However, afraid that it might gain upon us, 1 went out on horseback? and gave every direction to extinguish it. The next morning a violent wind arose, and the tire spread with ra-1 ! pidity. Some hundred miscreants, hired for the purpose, dispersed themselves in different, parts of the I town, and with matches which they concealed under their cloaks, set (ire to as many houses to windward jus they could, which was easily done, In consequence of the com bustihle materials of which they I were built. This, together with the violence of the wind, rendered ! ever- effort to extinguish the lire ineffectual. 1 myself narrowly escaped with life. In order to j show an example, I ventured into I the midst of the flames, and had my ; hair and eyebrows singed, and my clothes burnt off my back; hut it | was in vain, as they had destroyed 'most of the pumps, of which there | were above a thousand ; out of ail 'these, I believe that we could only Hind one that was serviceable. Be sides, the wretches that had been hi i red by Hostopchin, ran about in every ! quarter, disseminating tiro with th/dr matches ; in which they were | but too much assisted by the wind. Tliis terrible conflagration ruined p.vA'y thing. I was prepared for every thing but this. It was un foreseen, for who could have thought that a nation would Save set its capital on fire ? The inhabitants, themselves, however, did all they could to extinguish it, and several of them perished in their endea | vours. They also brought before i us numbers of the incendiaries with their matches, as amidst such a jiopoluzzn vve never could have dis covered them ourselves. I caused about two hundred ol these wretch es io be shot. Had it not been for this fatal lire, I bad every thing my army wanted; excellent winter quarters ; stores of all kinds were in plenty ; and the next yew would j have decided it. Alexander would | fiave made peace, or 1 would have been in Petersburg ” 1 asked ifhe thought that be could entirely sub due Russia. “Mo,” replied Na poleon; “but I would have caused Russia to make such a peace as suited the interests of France. 1 was live days too late in qullin-r Moscow. Several of the Generals,” continued he, “were burnt out ol their beds. —1 myself remained in ttie Kremlin until surrounded with (1 ,mi>« Th» tiro advanced, seized the Chinese and India Warehouses, and several stores of oil and spirits, which burst forth in flames and overwhelmed every thing. “ I then retired to a country house of the F.mperor Alexander’s, distant about a league from Moscow, and you may ligure to yourselves the intensity of the lire, when 1 tell you. that you could scarcely bear yom bands upon the walls or the win dows on the side next to Moscow, inconsequence oftheir heated state. It was the spectacle of a sea and billows of fire, a sky and clouds ol flame ; mountains of red rolling , flames, like immense waves of the sea, alternately bursting li>rtb and elevating themselves to skies of (ire, and then sinking into the ocean n| (lame below. Oh, it was the most grand, the most sublime, and the most terrific sight the world ever beheld ! !” -“«©•«<- Hypocrisy. —No ‘ ruling passion’ is “ stronger in death,” than that (if passion it may be called) of hy pocrisy. “if, says ha Bniyere, I marry an avaricious woman, she will take care of my money ; if a j gambler, she may win ; if a learned w oman, she may instruct me ; if a i vixen, she will teach 1 if m coquette she will take pains to ! please ; but if I marry a hypocrite | that affects to he religious (une tie -1 vote) what can 1 expect from her j who tries to deceive even her God. ; and who almost deceives herself?” And again—“ a prude fobs us off w itli demure looks and tine words; a virtuous .woman does what tlje other says. The first consults her humour and complexion ; the last, her good sense and her heart. The ; one is grave and austere ; the other, meet her where and u hen you will, jis just what she ought to be. The : first conceals criminal propensities i under a plausible form ; ttie other possesses a mine of virtue under a gay and unaffected demeanour.” “ A hypocrite, says Butler, is a saint that goes by clock work ; a j machine made by the Devil’s geo ! metry, which he winds and nicks to go as he pleases. lie is the Devil's linger watch that never goes true ; but too fast or too slow as the Devil sets it. A hypocrite's religion is a mummery, and his gospel walkings nothing but a masquerade. He ne ver wears his own person, but as sumes a shape, us the Devil does « hen he appears. A hypocrite is a weathercock upon the steeple of tbei church, that turns with every wind. * A I #* 0 * Fronikhe Charleston City Castile. “An Account of the late intended lasur- £ rection among a portion ol the blacks of this city.—Published by the autno rity of the Corporation of Charleston, 1 This is a brief narrative of the f facts and evidence attending this im- c | portant investigation.—-It is never tbelcss full enough for all the pur poses of public information, and * j embraces every material point in 1 the transactions it undertakes to ? summarize. The complete Journal . of these, trials can at any time be J seen by our citizens, and is kept as ‘ an official record for History.- I In dwelling upon these interesting 1 pages —to us and our brethren of • the South painfully interesting— 1 j (and we doubt not all our fellow-ci- 1 i tizens throughout the Union, who I have any feeling, participate in this 1 emotion,) the reader will perceive 1 that the bias has been on the side of 1 Mercy. It was politic to commute 1 the punishment of Gull, though a i villain of the deepest dye—because, Iby bis testimony principally, the whole plot was unfolded, and the conspirators brought to justice. — Though, during this development, Gell’s agency and guilt grew each hour more obvious, still the Court were bourn! injustice, as much as they were bound in policy, not to deceive those who had relied upon ! their word. In the case ol Palmer, j the only case we believe in which (the Executive exercised his prero i gative, the sin, if any, was on the ! side of mercy. In all cases involving such ingra titude to humane owners, such in discriminate mischief to the unsus pecting, such demoniacal passion for blood and plunder and conflagra tion— we confess ourselves to be among the number of those, who deem the punishment cannot be too sudden, sure and final. But the en lightened views ofthose composing 1 1 the Court, have made a division ol the crime, which would seem to de ’ mand a difference in the penalty.— 1 1 Those to lie transported will pro- Ijbablv, yet fee! that hour, when i Death would be considered a less s evil than I lie unknown horrors : wbicl) their fate may still bring • don#-upou their guilty Jieads. The task lias been accomplished; I —accomplished, too, with dignity • and singular calmness. The “Ac 1 count”' has already been circulated - extensively—and a third edition, on the (bird day of publication, f evinces that it will spread “ the a (ruth and nothing but the truth,” h throughout the United States. Any d attracts we should make would be h superfluous to our readers ; and, to h those abroad, would convey but an d imperfect idea of the history of the Plot, and the characters of those s engaged in its execution. We could 1 not, however, avoid the intrusion of d some reflections, in reading the e following : - “ The Confession of Jack Purcell. •' —JT it had not been for the cunning of that old villain Vesey, 1 should ’< not now be in my-present situation. • He employed every stratagem to f induce me to join him. He was in d the habit of reading to me all the *5 passages in the newspapers that re p lated to tit. Domingo, and apparent d ly every pamphlet be could lay bis hands on, that had any connection I with slavery. He one day brought J me a speech which be told me bud e been delivered in Congress by a r Mr. King on the subject of slavery ; be told me this M*. King was the black man’s friend, * that he Mr. ’ King bad declared he would con ‘ tiiiue to speak, write and publish - pamphlets against slavery the long I est day he lived, until the Southern e States consented to emancipate their a slaves, lor that slavery was a great I disgrace to the country.” a U V'esev was the father of the ; conspiracy, who, it might be natu v rally asked, put the original idea i into Vesey’s susceptible soul ? But - comment is unnecessary. We on r ly state for the information ofeertain . people, that Denmark (or Tele ’ maque) Vesey was a free black \ man ; in his thoughts and actions as ; free as ho should be, and owned ; property worth above eight thou •j sand Dollars, Therefore it was , | not “resistance of tyranny,” but ; the Prince of Darkness that prompt , ed his devilish plan. , “ The following sentence was > pronounced July 9th, 1822, upon - Jack, a slave belonging tb Paul ■ Pritchard, commonly called Gclear i Jack, by L. H. KENNEDY, Pre siding Magistrate; i Jack Pritchard —The Court, i after deliberately considering all the circumstances of your case, are • perfectly satisfied ofyour guilt. In i the prosecution ofyour wicked de ; signs, you were not satisfied with 1 resorting to natural and ordinary i means, hut endeavoured to enlist on your behalf, all the powers of darkness, and employed for that : purpose, the most disgusting mum mery mil superstition. You repre sented youiself as invulnerable ; 1 1 that you could neither be taken norjl destroyed, a-,J all who fought un-lj dcr your banners would be invinci-1 ( ble. While such wretched expe-1 1 dients are calculated to inspire the : i confidence, or to alarm the fears of, i the ignorant and credulous, they exate no other emotion in the mind of the intelligent and enlightened, but contempt and disgust. \our boasted Charms have not preserv ed yourself, and of course could not protect others. “ Your Altars and your Gods have sunk together in the dust.” The airy spectres, con jured by you, have been chased away by the special light of Truth, and you stand exposed, the misera ble and deluded victim of offended Justice. Y’our days are liteijdly numbered. You will shortly be consigned to the cold and silent grave, and all the Powers of Dark ness cannot rescue you from your approaching Fate! Let me then, conjure you to devote the remnant of your miserable existence, in fleeing from the “i vrath to come." This can only be done by a full dis closure of the truU<- The Court are willing to afford you all the aid in their power, and to permit any Minister ol the Gospel, whom you may select, to have free access to you. To him you may unhurthen you guilty conscience. Neglect not the opportunity, for there is “ no device nor art beyond the tomb,” to which you must shortly be con signed.” The above is selected out of ma ny sentences passed on this occa sion. It is eloquent, and truly lion orable to the talents and feeling of the Magistrate who delivered it. The citizens of Charleston will doubtless expiess, in some public manner, their sense of the import ant labours undergone, and the spirit and intelligence displayed by those who conducted the above in vestigation. The REWARD clue to the DISCOVERER of the Plot, is yet to he bestowed. This will he the pleasing business of the Le gislature of the Slate. The following extract from the Journal of the Commons House of Assembly, August 13, 1740, will shew what were the feelings of our Ancestors, fur services thus render ed : “ A motion was then made that a reward might he given by the pub lic to a negro man named Peter, be longing to Major Conies, for his services in discovering the intended insurrection of the Negroes in the Parish of St. John, in the county of Berkley, which being considered by the House, it was resolved that the said negro man shall have a suit of cloihes, hat, shoos, and stockings, and twenty pounds, in cash. ‘* It was then moved that the sum of ten pounds might be given to a negro man belonging to Mr. Royal ■ Spry, as a reward for apprehending one of the slaves who was concern ed in the Insurrection at Stonn, which was agreed to by the House. “ And it was ordered that a Mes sage be prepared to be sent to the Lieutenant Governor to acquaint his Honor therewith, and to desire his Honor to order the negro man belonging to Major Conies to be sent for to receive bis reward in Charlestown, and accordingly tbe following one was drawn, which having been first read was agreed to by the House, and then ordered to be engrossed, and afterwards signed by the Speaker. “ Message to the Lieut. Governor. “ May it please your Honor—As the intended Insurrection of the Negroes in the parish of St. John, in the county of Berkley was dis covered by a negro man belonging to Major Cordes named Peter, we think he ought to be rewarded for that service ; and have agreed to give him a suit of clothes, hat, shoes and stockings, and twenty pounds in cash. We desire that your Ho nor will be pleased to order the said negro man to come, to Charles toxen to receive the same in vonr presence. “We have also agreed that ten pounds should be given to a negro man belonging to Mr. Spry, who lately took one of Ihe slaves that was concerned in the Insurrection at Stono; which we desire thatyour Honor will he pleased to order to be sent him. “ By order of the House. “ WILLIAM BULL,jun. Speaker.” One Thousand pounds, also, were appropriated by the Legislature of 1739 to purchase the freedom of a negro man, July, belonging to Mr. Thomas Elliott for faithful services during that Insurrection. It is a remarkable coincidence that the name of Col, Prioleau’s faithful servant wba felt it his duty to protfet his master'and family, and our whole city from the late meditated massacre, is, Peter, and is the second of the same name and belonging to the same family, who lias rendered this service to South- Carolina. J lie remark is trivial, hut the facts themselves should be perpetual monitions to all future 'll *' " evil-thinkers that there ever will as there ever have been, servants iif principle and integrity who will discover and frustrate such guilty projects. And even should fea r prevent them, there are always to be found some partners in iniquity who to save themselves, will di’ s ! close their schemes, so that, after all, good conduct and fidelity will be found the most certain and least perilous road to happiness and that increase of privilege, which thev would seek in vain by visionary plans of Insurrection. FROM THE AUGUSTA CHRONICLE. , '% We received by the last Savannah Mail, a new -paper, entitled “ The Religious Herald,” printed in that place, in a quarto form, and on a hall sheet sup* royal. It is executed in a very- neat style, and the selections are every way appropriate and inter esting. Our warmest wishes are ten dered for its success and permanency We give the following extracts from their Address to’ the Public, from which the reader will be able 10 m learn the plan on which it will be continued : “ TO THE PUBLIC. “ When the immortal Washing ton, and other Heroes, the Fathers of our country, ventured upon the bold and magnanimous undertaking, of rendering an infant nation free, sovereign and independent, many persons of timid and wavering minds, were ready to shrink from the enter prise, as possessing a character of fearful results, and of doubtful issue; but, conscious of the rectitude of their intentions, and appealing to the God of Heaven for the justice of their cause, the first projectors of the A merican Revolution undauntingly persevered, through innumerable tri als and difficulties, in the arduous struggle in which'they hail engaged, till, under the blessing of an over-ru ling Providence, their efforts were crowned with success, and they had prepared theway, in behalf of them selves and their posterity, for (he blessings of freedom, which we now so eminently enjoy, “If such be the happy result in Political Ethics, what motives have not the Professors of Christianity to persevere in the noblest and best of causes, when enlisted under the ban ners of the Great Captain of Sal vation ?—a Leader, who has pro mised to conduct his faithful followers to Victory, over all their spiritual ene mies, tho 7 surrounded by the snares and temptations of a vain and thought -1 less world; and to secure to them the 1 en joyment of that permanent and un- I alloyed felicity of which all hope to : partake, after this state of probation shall be ejjdcd. , “ With views and feelings like . these, the Publisher has ventured to issue, in this community, a first num ■ ber of u The Religious Herald —a I bumble undertaking, commenced ; without much previous arrangement, 1 or the pledge (except from a few in ■ dmjduals) of pecuniary support. It 1 is believed to be the first publication ! of the kind ever issued in this City 1 —But shall it— ought it to be said, 1 that Savannah is the last place, a • mong our populous towns or cities, to I encourage a religious publication ?—■ We hope better things of so enligh tened and benevolent a people; anc cannot but believe, that, mixed as the population may be, there wilt bn found enough, who are devoted to the ’ cause of virtue and religion, to give adequate support to a publication, ’ which has for its object, not only the temporal, but also the spiritual wel fare, of all who may fall within the sphere of its circulation. Be this as it may, the experiment is ventured upon—and if it tail, we shall only consider ourselves as the unsuccessful advocates of a good cause—To ob viate the effects that may result from the want of proper support, the terms of the paper are such as to render the payments due monthly, at ten cents each number; so that its publication may be discontinued, if found neces sary, at any monthly period ; but it suitable patronage should be afford ed, or many advertisements be offer ed for insertion, the terms will be changed to a quarterly subscription, and the price of the paper reduced at least one-fith. It therefore rests with the Public to determine whether the paper shall be cheap, or of long con tinuance “ Persons residing in the country, who may r wish to be supplied with this paper, will please signify their desire by letter (post’paid) to the Publisher their requests will h : punctually attended to.” Strawberries u Cure for the Gout. The celebrated Linnrno-, when he was forty years of age. was sub ject to such violent attacks of the gout, that they deprived him 0! sl&ep and appetite.
