Continent, but being detained two days at Do
ver, through tempestuous weather and adverse
winds, the newspapers announced to him the
union of Lady Emily and Lord Morton.
This early disappointment threw a sombre
shade over the after-life of Sir Robert Norman-
ville.—Five and twenty years had now passed
away,yet Sir Robert still remembered Lady Em
ily in all the beauty and freshness of her youth.
Sho died five years aftor her mariage, leav
ing one child, a daughter. Some years after
her death, Sir Robert met Lord Mortop in
London; but a cool bow of recognition was all
that passed between them; and, as the form
er seldom ever visited the gay world he saw
nb more of his Lordship, who had now been
dead about two years, and the guardianship of
his daughter transfered to her maternal aunt.
Report spoke of her as being beautiful and ami
able; and, as she was an heiress, she had no
lack of lovers. Within the bat year, howe
ver, she had most unaccountably refused sever
al offers which had been made to her by suitors
of rank.
Sir Robert Norman ville’s stately edifice was
this evening a blaze of light; variegated lamps
were tastefully disposed in different parts of
the grounds, and the decorations of the ball
room presented all that could gratify the eye
and delight the senses. The company was
numerous and splendid, and Sir Robert appear
ed to have lost his usual melancholy, and to
share in the general festivity. The merry
dance began, and Sir Robert gazed proudly on
his son, whoso polished manners and handsome
person gained him many a smile from fair and
high-born ladies. The delighted father had
place. 1 himself near to one of the windows in
the ball-room, and was intently watching the
graceful forms that flitted before him; when
suddenly his eye was caught by the figure of a
female with whom his son was dancing. Sir

party which claims them. .
The Editor sees with pain, tho dilemma in
which Georgia is placed, in regard to her rela
tions with the General Government, and the
ravful crisis to which sho is hastening. With
out stopping to inquire, whether, in the origin
of this dispute, she had justice on her side, he
pledges himself, to use H's unwearied exertions
to preserve the rights and dignity of tho State,
and to avert the evils that threaten to over
whelm her. In supporting the rights of Geor
gia. he shall not feel himself bound to
with unmerited abuse, tho Government o. the
United States; or to ascribe to others, the e-
vils which mav have arisen from our own im
prudence. Wherever, in his opinion, censure
may be deserved, it shall not be withheld.—
As a Georqian, in feelings and interest, ho
frill contend, strenuously, ‘(hr every iota of her
tiirlits! As a descendant of the Martyrs of tho
Revolution, every attempt to weaken the Gov
ernment of his Country, or sever the Union
of these States, will meet with ills utter abhor
rence, and determined opposition.

■ .. Distant subscribers must in all
bad last beheld her, radiant in youth nnd love
liness. “But this is mere illusion," mentally e-
jaculated the Baronet: “Iknow she has been
dead these mamy years, and were sho even liv
ing, could not look thus now." He looked
again—still it was her very image, save that
the face was rather paler, and the general ex
pression of the countenance of a more pensive
cast than that of Lady Emily's. Sir Robert
seated himself, still watching the lovely and in
teresting girl, whose appearance had so much
...imereti him, itnrJI years seemed to fade away,
and the events of his youth to pass again be
fore him. Lady Emily, ms hisc-rov;.—-wro
happy hours he had experienced in her society
—her very look at parting, were all remem
bered. _ His emotion became insupportable,
and to conceal it he hastily left the room, and
retired to a private apartment until heshould
have, in some degree, mastered his feelings.—
The quick eye of Arthur Normanvillo soon
noted his father’s absence; and in part guessing
the cause, he declined dancing, and descended
to the library. On opening the door he per
ceived his tether standing near tho fire-place.
“You arc not ill, I hope, my dear Sir!” said
Arthur. “No! no! A momentary indisposi
tion, which has now, I trust, passed away.—
Come, let us rejoin our guests." “Stay, but
for a few miuutes,” said his son; “I have a
boon to beg of you, my dear father; will you
grant it to me?” “But why now, Arthur,”
said tho Baronet; “some other time.”—“O,

banity of manners, was deservedly tr general fa
vourite with tho tenants nnd peasantry in the
neighbourhood. Great preparations had beon
some time making to cclebmto.his coming of
age, and a magnificent ball was to be given in
flit evening, to which tho gentry for many miles
round were invited. Nor were the poorer class
forgotten, for thoy hail an ample share in tho
strong ale nnd good cheer abounding on tho
occasion.
Sir Robert had beon a widower for some
years, and all his hopes and affections centered
in this son, who, in truth, was in every respect
tparthy of a fathor's love.
lu early youth, Sir Robert had formed an
firdent attachment to the beautiful Lady Emily
Harrell. Ho had somo reason to hope that his
affection was returnod; and, ns his lineage and
expectations on the score of fortuno were un
exceptionable, ho apprehended no* rejection
from the lady’s friends. Things were in this
happy train, when the sudden death of his fa

In the ribbon trade, the inferior
goods are as much in demand as they
are at this time of the year, while the sjperior
articles meet with rather a dull sale. The best
proof of the ribbon-business being protti good,
is the fact of the Coventry weavers being
nearly all employed. The broad silk tisiness
can hardly be said to bo good, yet it is certainly
better than it was previous to the ndtnisjion of

The AHgemeine Zeitung of tho 2( h ultimo
contains the following intelligence, da ?d Con
stantinople, July 26:—“ M. Boyer, 1 elonging
to the French legation, who was s nt somo
time ago with despatches to rear admin 1 Righy,
has returned to the Moron. Accordit g to his
account, the Greeks had resolved ti> defend
themselves to the utmost, having still possession
of the fortress of Napoli di Romania, inio which
the bravo Suliots from Missolonghi havi* thrown
themselves. This fortress is in goad condi
tion, and is said to have provisions for eigh
teen months. The Mainotes had haughtily re
jected the proposals of submission that had been
„..„ riv „ for me. I will noli-then, refuse
what you ask—name it.”—“How shall I tell
you—there is a being to whom I have rendered
up my heart’s best affections! I hope; I think she
also beholds me with favour, but I wait for your
sanction ere I shall tell her the fond hopes !
entertain.’*— 1 “Who, and what is she?” said Sir
Robert. “High-born and beautiful,” replied
his son. “Her name?"—“Lady Emily Mor
ton.” Tho Baronet again involuntarily started,
and sank into a chair. “How Cam© you ac
quainted with that Lady!” lie sternly inquired.
“She was on a visit to Lady Dunallnn at tho
samo time with myself, and knows not of the re
sentment -you entertain against her family.”—
“Is sho hero to-night?” asked Sir Robert.-—
"Sho came with Lady Dunallati’s party," said
Arthur. “ You knew of my desire never to see
or hear of the Mortons, and why not before ap
prize me of this?”—"Pardon me, my dear Sir,
that I have done so, but I had beard Lady Em
ily was so much like her mother, and T thought
—I hoped—that from that cause you would re-
that her mother decoivcd mo?" "Alas! yes: but
is she. to.blame for. that? Fwloved iliat mother
once, am I to blame for loving the daughter?”
Tlio Baronet rose, and paced tho room in
great agitation. Suddenly stopping before his
son, he said—“She is, indeed, like her mother,
whom I remember, even now, too well. Hea
ven gram that she may bo unlike her in mind*—
I promised to grant you your request—it is your
natal day, too, and i would not havo you say-
hereafter, that your father stepped between you
and happiness. No! no! When I am gone you
shall not have cause to think harshly ofyour pa
rent and tho Baronet turned aside to conceal
his emotion. “My ever kind father!”—“E-
nough!" said Sir Robert; “You shall introduce
mo particularly to the lady; if she bo as good as
she is beautiful, and your affection be mutual
you have mv consent. .

Sept. 7.—The following intelligence from
Bucharest is of tho 15th ult: “Terror alone

ue to be the objects of the most bitter sarcasms;

for the purposo of drawing them to tho capital,
seven wore beheaded a few days after their arri
val. The populace,who suffered themselves to
bo gained over in tho beginning by the cheap
ness of provisions, now murmur, and tho future
assumes every day an aspect more threatening.

improving, and Ibrahim Pacha, who wants botli
troops and provisions, cannot undertake any
great operation."
Extract of a private letter of the 16th ultimo,
from Hermanstadt: “Personslikely to bo well

Ackerrman, which seem to take the turn wish
