Jan 30 HENRY HATELEY, Sheriff TI1E SPAllTAN MARCH. The Spartaus used not the trumpet ip their march to battle, says Thucydides, because they wished'nut to excite the rage of their warriors. 1’lieir charge was made to the sound of the Do rian flute and soft recorders. The valor of a Spartan was too highly tempered-' to require a stunning or a rousing iinpulso. Ilis spirit vstu, like his steed, too proud for a spur. ’Ttvas morn upon the Grecian hills, Where peasants dressed their vines; Suqlightwai on Cithteron’s rills, Arcadia's rocks and pines. And brightly through his reeds and flowers Eurotits wandered by; When a sound arose from Sparta’s towers,' Of solemn harmony. Was it the hunter’s choral strain, To the woodland goddess pour'd? Din virgin haud3 tit Pallas’ fano ' • ; Strike the fall sounding chord ? But helms were glancing on the stream, Spears ranged in close array; And shields flung back a glorious beam To the morn of fearful day. The mountain echoos of the land, Swelled through the deep blue sky; While, in soft strains, moved forth a band Of men who moved to die. They march’d not with, the trumpet’s blast, Nor bade the horn (teal out: And tho laurel groves, as ou they pass’d . Rung with no battle shout. They wished no clarion’s voice to firo Their soul9 with iinpulso high ; But the Dorian reed aud tho Spartan lyro, For tlie sons of liberty. And still sweet flutes, their path around, Sent forth iEoliau. breath, They needed not a sterner sound ? To marshal them for deuth* ...

Old Storace (the father of the celebrated com poser) had nearly lost all his teoth at rather an early period of his life. This to one who was de cidedly a high liver, was a great annoyance. A dentist of emincuco undertook to supply the de fect! lie drew thu few teeth which remained and fitted the pi/Jent with an entire tlow set, which acted by means of springs, aud were removable at pleasure. Tho operation was so skilfully per- formud, aud the resemblance so good, that Storace flattoru! himself tbaf jio one could discover tho deception.

Oil one of these occasions, when bo fought Mr. St. Lcgcr, the other demanding which was to fire first, Curran answered, “that he came as a guest merely—it Was for St.-Legi liimself to open the ball j since he gave the iuvita tioil.” Next, seeing that Jit.

Tlie dialoguo is of but minor importance, and barely serve* to connoct together its astounding incidents, skirmidp-s, es capes, battles and deaths.

The bottle scene at night between tho English and French frigates, in which thu “Skim mer” aud his picaroons took an active mil most clamorous shire, was especially awful, deife niug, and suffoctuior. The whole ordnance depart ment of the Theatre seems to have been called into requisition for tlie occasion, from tho big swivel down to tlie vnricet popgun of the drama. First, tlie big guns on the deck ol the Eng Li: frigate opened their clamorous throats, and rent tho theatrical welkin with, their noise.

It is like all that proceeds from the pen of that groat and good man, wonderfully known, that iu wri ting to Americans, “the Americim Veteran” al ways uses their language; so that the following letter is just as ho wrote it: Copy of a Utter from General Lafayette to th* Corps of Cadets, dated Paris, Nor. 9tb, 1831. My Dear Yopng Friends:—While every op portunity cheers my heart w ith new testimonies ol what you call filial atlectiou, it is on my part with patriotic pridb ami fraternal love that I have received your donation in behalf of heroic and now unhappy Poland. Sad news from that illustrious part of Europe will have reached you not long ufteryour sympa thetic letter was ou its way to us. But it is now more than over, that tiie vanquished, although not subdued I’olcs, ate in need of tricndly assistance; thousands of them had rather perish on a foriigu land, than acknowledge their patriotism as guilt, und submit to the yoke of a Russian despot. In no Instance, uot even during the struggle, could he sc well employed, thu contribution* of the friends of true glory; that, which is founded on tlie basis of independence und freedom. An American committee lias ut my request been formed at Paris, to assist in discharging tho. duty conferred upon them by donors iu the V. 8,- We keep up an understanding with the National Polish committee that has lately been formed in i this city, aud with the French committee, ia order that the distribution be us judicious ns possible. It is from rite mmiumeftt w hich your ptedeees- pirs had raised to Kosciusko on your classical ground of Wcslpoint, that the first successor* of his countrymen have crossed the Atlantic, let us hope for lite day wbyu ou that same toouuiucut the resurrection of Polimd shall be celebrated. Receive, my dear young friends, the parental affection and blessing of tile American veteran, LAFAYETTE.
