they have rotfugilizod each other? Tho e-ay

beauty and general admiration, brilliant in pre

gifted, tho worshipped—-happy in the a flection
of the man sho loved and high in hope .of its

In this awful hour, (for so may it indeed bo call
ed) woman’s lovo proves superior to that of

Children, their ago, their names. She asks tho
gift of one of them—one to be a daughter to
Iter heart, to give h'*r tho feelings of a mother
towards his cdiltl. They weep together. They
part to see each other na more.
This story is na fiction. It is one so well
known, that it is scarcely necessary to add that
the princess Amelia of Prussia, sister of Fre

are tho hero and heroine of tho piece.
MATERNAL LOVE.
If thorc is one hum in feeling free from tho
impulses of earthly frailty, that lolls us in tho
slightest breathings of its celestial origin, it is
that of n mother's love—a mother's chbste, o-
rorwhelming, and everlasting love for her chil
dren.
The name of n mother is our childhood's
t ilism.iti—our refuge and our safeguard in all
tsar misery; it is tho first half-formed word
that fills from the balding tongue, tho first idett
that dawit3 on the opening mind; the first, the
loudest, and tho most lasting tie in which affoc-
tion can bint] tho earth of man! It is from the
beginning the saraa an 1 unchangeable. It
owns not its being to this world, or the things
in this world, but is independent and self-exis
tent; enduring whilst the pulse of life animates
the breast that fosters it; and if there bo any
thing of mortality that survives tho grave, sure
ly its best and noblest passion will never per
ish. Oh! it is a pure and holy emanation of
heaven’s morcy, implanted in the heart of wo
man for tho dearest and nicest purpose, to bo
at once tho truest .and most sacred pleasure,
and the safety and blessing of her offspring.
It is not tho selfish passion, depending for its
Dormancy on tho reciprocation of advantages;
nut on its sincerity. It castetb not itself, and
centres but in the happiness of its object; and
when the welfare of that object is at stake, it
puttcik away fear and knoweth not weariness.
It is not excited by form of feature, but rather
by a happy perversion of perception, einbues
all things with an imaginary beauty.
It watches over our helpless infancy with
titc ceaseless benien'ty of a guardian angel: an
ticipates every childish wish, humors every
wayward fancy, soothes every transient sor
row, sings our sweet lullaby to rest, and carols
us on its warm and throbbing breast; and when
pain and sickness prpy upon the fragile form;
wlmt medicine is there l>ko a mother’s,kisses?
what quieting pillow like a mother’s bosom?
O'- when launched into tho wide ocean of a
tempestuous world, what eyo gazes on our ad
venturous voyage, with all the eagerness of ma
ternal fondness, amid tho sad yet not unplea
sant contest of hopes and fears, and deep an
xieties: When tho rugged path of life hns been
bravely, patiently, and .nobly trodden; when
prosperity has smiled upon Its; when virtuo
has upheld us amid tho world’s temptations:
virtue which she herself has planted in us; and
when fame has hound her lnurels round us, is
there a heart that throbs with a livelier or
more grateful pleasure than a mother’s?
day time shorn of their tallowy beams, ono
would conceive a high rospect for them from
tho exclusive plurality of their lights. But look
at them in broad day; cut them olf from their
lanterns, and they are poor benighted crca-

night, but very maggots by day. The Sixties
ttie.for the most part poor creatures, but their
lanterns are of a goodly bigness, and the two
candles therein aro proportioned to their roomy
receptacles. Tho Forties, though resrricted
to one light, though groaning under the tyrnu-
ny of Sixty ascendancy, and declared incapa
ble of holding two candles in one lantern, are
allowed to go to any reasonable size in their
lumpens, and I do not observe that they differ
in magnitude from those of tho Sixties. _ Iu-
doad, it is a point of prudence with the Forties
not to attempt to aggrandize their lanterns, for
such an ambition would but render the invidi
ous unity of candle tho more glaring.—London

ISLAND OF GUERNSEY.
Ludicrous description of Its Aristoera'cy.
Guernsey is tho very model of an island; ar-
istocratic.il as wo are in England, they boat us
bellow in this particular: There are three clas
ses in Guernsey—4he Sixties, the forties, and
tho people of no account, or the noughts, if
ono must describe them at nil. Tho Sixties
are the original settlors, tho nobility as it were,
the nncient families, nnd, liko the groat people
in most' places, they are for tho most part tho
most narrow minded and stupid, tho worst e-
duca'.od, and the lonot prosperous persons on
the Island. Tho Forties como next; they aro
the people of yestordav, the terra; ftlii, and n-
raong them may be found the most wealthy,
and tho most enterprising persons in the'islan’d.
But Clio Sixties will not associate with them.—
Many of the Forties, tho children of rich men,
receive tho best education in England, and ore
received into tho best English society; but
wbeu they return to Guernsey thoy aro refus
ed admission into tho assembly rooms, nnd cut
by tho Lilliputian Aristocracy as an inferior
cast. I now corao to the distinctions. It is
the proud distinction of tho Sixties to bo enti
tled to carry two candles in tho lanterns, by
which they see their way thio-jgh their filthy
streets and narrow lanes at night. Tho For
ties are permitted to carry but one candle in
their lanterns; but os for tho zeroes, or nobo-
dies, I do not know whothcr they era privileg
ed to carry, a light or not,—they may bo per
mitted farthing rushlights, but I can speak
with no certainty on this bead. Certainly, on
the night of a drum, (a Guernsey party of a ve
ry humdrum character, so called) it is a great
end n glorious thing, to see tho beacons of wor
shipful pedestrians blazing, tho ensigns of an
cient race shining about tho streets and alleys,
not flashing and flitting at tho rapid and undig
nified rnto of lamps borne by a rattling London
carriage, but proceeding at the staid, decorous

proud blazonry. Tho contrast is very striking

with two candles,, and tho humble go-by-the*

London, February 28.
Private letters from Oporto to I6thnnd from
Lisbon to tho 10th uft. fully confirm tho ac
counts published in tho Official Gazette, of
tho success gained by the arms of the Consti
tutionalists. Tho activity displayed in pursuit
of tho rebels is, in fact, almost unexampled.
Count Yilla FJor pursued them in three days
from Nembo, the Bridge of Prado, over the
river Cavado. There the rebels assembled to
tho number of four thousand. Count dc Villa
Flor attacked the central division on tho 5th,
and forced the bridge with fixed bayonets.—
The rebels retreated on Barca, a small town
near the river Lima, and about four loagucs
from (ho I)ridgn of Prado. Here, Beforo e-
vening closed, ffto count attacked tho rebels,
who retreated to the bridge whence they were
dislodged with fixed bayonets and obliged to
disperse. In the course of the, day, two hun
dred and sixty prisoners were taken by the
constitutionalists, among whom were a consi
derable number of men belongingio the 17lh
and 25th regiments of the line, tho two trai
torous corps which commenced the revolution
—the first,by going into Spain from Estrcmoz,
with Magessj, and the other by deserting from
Braganza. The effects of this victory must be
important. Oporto was safe. During their
stay in Minho, the rebels wero feasted by ma
ny of the higher ordersof tho clergy, as well as
judges and nobles, who used every effort to en
sure their success, aud supplied them with mo
ney.
Further accounts to the 18th, state that the
pursuit of the rebels to within half a leagtto of
Gqlacia, and a, number of prisoners aud guns
had been [taken. The despatches state that
the Marquis de Chaves entered Galacia by
Traes, accompanied by some infantry, and by
tho greater part of his cavalry; but all in such
disorder ind ruin, that it will not be easy for
them to undertake any new operation.
In lettirs from Oporto, to the 13th instant,
it is stated that a detachment of troops has
been sent to the north—the hot bed of the late
insurrection, and to tho estates of the Marquis
de Chaves; and we undestand a great part of
the army of Portugal will follow this move
ment od the Tras-os-Montcs, to put an end at
once to the rebellion—Baira. being secure in
tho presence of the British troops. Ono of tho
letters says, that accounts aro this instant re
ceived of the Marquis de Chaves having ar
rived at Chaves with -1500 men.

The -Pori* Quotidienno of tho 4th ult. says,

tinder the dato of Madrid, February 19, states
that preparations for war continue, that the mi
nisters of finance and war, each in his respec
tive department, work both night and day; the

London, March 8.
Tbo private accounts from Spain this morn
ing' state, 'that disaffection had appeared among
tho Spanish soldiery, and that among tho gar
rison at Ceuta, there has been an open mu
tiny or insurrection. As far as regards the sol
diery on the frontiers, these accounts of their
feelings agree with the last letters from Lisbon.
We have received the Etoile, dated Thurs
day. Intelligence from Constantinople; of the
26th of January, mentions that the arrest in
that city continued without abatement, since
the discovery of the last conspiracy, and that
tho. irritation of the public mind was rapidly
increasing. According to tbo latest nows from
tho Archipelago, tho Greeks were pursuing
their advantages. Advices from Teflis, of tho
24th January, mention that on the 9th of that
month, iiciitcnant general Prince Madatoff had
passed tho Araxis, and having formed a junc
tion on tbo other side with Colonol Mitzchen-
ko, thfeyftad vigorously attacked tho tribes can-
touod along the Sumboor.
Private letters from Paris.mention that a
telegraphic despatch from Madrid, announced
on Wednesday, that Ferdinand had brought
general Longa and others to trial.
We learn from Portugal by a private chan
nel, that discoveries have just beon made of
certain parties in the in.erior and in Lisbon,
cariying on a correspondence with Chaves und
his party. The correspondence was discover
ed ou'the capturo of the baggage of Viscount
Monte Alegre. It comprises many of tho
greatest men in both Chambers—Peers and
Deputies, and many of tho first merchants, a-
moagst whom is the Viscount B. O. in whoso
house Sir. W. Clinton lodged. General Stubbs
lias taken copies of tho letters, and sent the o-
riginuls to the government. Copies were also
sent offtȣnglaud.
Mr. Huskisson was a little better yesterday,
owing to the good effects of a largo blister, which
was applied to his chest on Thursday.
'1 'urkey,—Accounts from Constantinople
state that the news from Greoco was still unfa
vorable to the Forte. It is said that Ibrahim
has received ordes to go to the assistance of the
Seraskier. Some doubts arc emertaided of his
compliance. The Turkish Government had
discovered a ne w conspiracy. Tho ramifications
wero very extensive, and for the last 15 days
executions and banishments havo recommen
ced with more severity than ever.
Greece.—'The following extract from the
Central Gazette of Greeco, of the 15th (27th)
December, 1826:—This moment a letter has
arrived’ from ’ the commander it; chief, Karais-
kaki, in which lie writes that on tho 7th, (19th)
inst. a Pacha and a Boy, with 1500 men came
agalnjp’otir fortes at Vulitza; but after an ob
stinate engagement, they were put to flight and
driven, with severe loss, as for as Budunitza.—
This victory is of the greatest Importance. Wo
took nearly a thousand mules laden with pro
visions, ammunition, coffee, sugar, and other
objects, and our'troops enriched themselves
greatly. The General has ercc|ed a pyramid
ofheads both at Vclitza und Rachova. Con
tinental Greece is now certainly free from ene
mies.
Portugal.—The rebels appear to bo confin
ed to the province of Tras-os-Montcs; but
they are said to be collected and connecting in
great etrengtb. Openly and impudently, toj,
the Spanish clergy era making their liberalcon
tributions for carrying on of this sacred 'war,
and as it is held up in all Catholic countries as
tho cause of that church, tho contributions are
supposed to bo very extensive in all those
countries. It is in this way that this aboniia-
blo conspiracy Rgainst mankind, it seems, pro
poses to evade the infraction of tho letter of
treaties. Money can bo secretly conveyed,
and, where money can he sent, they argue
men may be raised. We may add, too, in
countries where that superstition has corrupted
the very springs of public virtue, money may
be applied to effect interior operations as well
as to organize exterior attacks. This is the
kind of contest in which we are involved and
which calls for all our energy. It would be to
make ourselves look ridiculous to be beguiled
by so notorious and broad a stratagem, but we
apprehend that nothing will give us the power
of counteracting it, but a spirited and direct co
operation of the British troops with the royal
army, against the rebels, and that in order to
do this, our force there must be doubled. We
havo cloarly done too much or.too little.
Paris, February 24.
According to the last letters from St. Peters

FROM RIO DE JANEIRO.
The brig Edward, Captain Calder, at Balti
more, from Rio, sailed on tho 27th February.
From an intelligent gentleman, a passenger in
the Edward, we learn that tho Buenos Ayrean
army had advanced into the heart of tho Pro
vince of Rio Grande. Rumours had also reach
ed Rio that a general battle had taken place be
tween the Buenos Ayroan and Brazilian armies,
in that province, in which tho latter was de
feated. It was reported that tho Emperor
had rccoived despatches from tho seat of war
in relation to this event, but no intelligence of
their contents had been suffered to transpire, a
circumstance which strengthened tho belief that
the information was of a disastrous character
to the Brazilian arms. The Emperor was en
deavoring to raise an additional body of troops,
to bo sent to Rio Grande.

DOMESTIC.
from the Milledgevillt Recorder.
Statement of Mrs. Coleman's outrage upon bepelfand
two Children, as viewed by a person called to the
scene by the first alarm.
Mrs. Coleman, widow of Dr. Robert Cole
man, deceased, of Sandersvillo, Washington
county, Georgia, having removed to the coun
try, had been a little unwell, and seemed gen
erally dissatisfied in mind, so that the near
neighbors sympathized with her, and a Mrs.
Lions the door neighbor sent a negro after
dinner on April 1st, to seo how Mrs. Coleman
•The negro returned, saying that “somo
person had killed her two children, and she
was gone.” I was in a short time at the place
with several others; we found the children both
breathing—a boy about 6 months old, and a
little girl about 7 years old, had been beaten
principally about the head, and left no doubt
supposed to bo dead.
The persons present readily concluded (up
on talking together,) that Mrs. Coleman must
have attempted the murder of her own children
in derangement, and had probably gone off to
destroy herself—after sending for a doctor for
thochildrcn, we proceeded to search for her In
the nearest woods—we did not find her that
night—pursuing tho search next morning, we
found her before breakfast hanging to a small
tree, by a bandana silk handkerchief—she bad
seem ngly stepped off of a log upon the limb of
tho sapling, und tying both ends of tho hand-
korphief to another just above her head, being
first doubled around her neck, and turning her
back to tho body of tho sapling, her hands un-
confined; and she had died without appearance
of struggling. It was raining at the timo and
it was thought best to tako the corpse to tho
house beforo any inquest—and as there was no
Coroner in the county, a justice of the Peace
was sent for, who examined upon oath several
who were present, all testifying that Mrs. Cole
man must have lost her reason, attempted tho
murder of her own children, and had succeeded
in putting an end to herself by hanging. We
found in Mrs. Coleman's secretary, a writing
without date, in her name, which seemed to
bo in amount, a crying out that sho had borne
the crosses of life ns long as sho could; “that
her heart was broken with sorrow,” &c.

MELANCHOLY CATASTROPHE.
Saco, (Maine,) April 4.
It becomes our painful duty to mention the
occurrence of another of those heart rending
incidents which aro becoming frequent on our

jamin Fogg", of Hollis, and Temple Foss of

Fulls by Colonol I. Lane, of Hollis in getting
off a large body of logs, which had been press
ed together in Saco river, in such a manner as
to raise the water abovo the fallt to an enor
mous height. While these men wero upon the
logs, tho immense pressure of wator caused
them to burst from their confinement in so
sudden and unexpected a manner as to afford
the unfortunate individuals no possiblo chance
of escaping to tho shore, or to receive assist
ance from those on tho adjoining bank. They
wero consequently carried ijown the precipi
tous courso of Iho stream, with tho mass of logs,
