At the first call of his country, (says the Hudson Whig) he engaged in her sei vice; und from the “memorable battle of Bunker'* Hill, with which her sanguinary trials be gan, down to the surrtuder of Cornwallis at Yo.ktown, wito which they gloriously elided, Ins zealous and efficient support was given to the cause of freedom, lie had been repeatedly and severely wounded— and some of the enemy ’s balls he has borne with him to the tomb in which his remains are deposited. Asa partisan officer ho was particularly distinguished; and in many in stances lie’showed, that to a daring spirit of gallantry, (which was perhaps, his most peculiar characterustic) he added the skill and conduct so Seldom attained; and yet so lodispeusabie to the formation of that char acter. Oqe incident, in the life of this veteran, is too remarkable to be passed slightly over. At the battle of the Cedars, (30 miles above Montreal, on the St. Lawrence,) Colonel M’K.instry, then a capt. in col. Paterson's regiment of continental troops was twice wounded and taken prisoner by the Indians. The intrepidity of capt. M'Kinstry, a* a partisan officer’ to which we have alluded above, had rendered him alike the object of their fears, and of their unforgiving re sentment. The British officers were too much in dread of their savage allies, on ac count of their vast superiority of numbers, to risk an interposition of their authority to prevent the horrid sacrifice they saw preparing. Already had the victim been bound to the tree, and surrounded by the faggots intended for his immolation—hope had fled—and in the agony nt despair lie had uttered that mystic appeal which the brotherhood of masons never disregaul— when, as if Heaven had interposed for his preservation, the warrior Brandt under stood him and saved him. Brandt had been educated in Europe— and had there been initiated into the mys teries ofrfiee-tnnsomy. The advantages of education and his native strength of mind, gave him an ascendancy over the uncultivated sons of the forest, that few other chiefs possessed. Situated as he was, the impending danger of a brother, must have forcibly brought in mind his obligation to support him in the time of peril. His utmost endeavors were accordingly used, and they were happily successful, in ob taininjt fur him an Immediate respite, and au eventual ransom. After the settlement of peace, he retired to the cultivation., of his farm in the vicini tv of this city, sustaining an unblemished reputation, and enjoying the reward of his toils and sufferings,Tn the respect which was accorded, *as well to the rectitude of his private life, as to the patriotic services he had rendered to his country. His Remains were yesterday consigned to the tomb; and it is needless to say that an immense concourse of people.were pre sent to pay the last sad duties to one so honored and esteemed. His funeral obsequies were conducted by the Hudson Lodge; and there was a pecul iar fitness —an impressive solemnity—in performing the masonic rites of sepulture fora brother whose connexion with the or der had once saved him from an untimely death—bad given him back as an ornament to society for more than forty years—and afforded a proof undeniable of the excellen cy of the institution. * I F, o:n the Lor,don New Monthly Mag azine. Were it possible for tlie mind to seize at a stogie view, tiie occupations of all the inhabitants of the globe, it would be some what curious to behold the numbers that,’ at any given point of time, are busily anti j sid.dy employed in raising their animal j spirits to the agreeable point of elevation,! and to compare the various artifices adopt ed for this purpose. Os the 8 hundred j millions, the computed number of the I whole, we ifiould have so many smoking, so many carousing, so many millions or thousands throwing off drams, so many sipping coffee^so many masticating opium, and other exhilarating extracts, so many dancing, singing, hunting, or gambling, all to keep off the tedium vitae. Some must have mimic scenes of bloodshed on the stage ; some must see men killing one an other in earnest; for others a mortal cock fight is a sufficient stimulant, koine keep the vapours at bay by talking politics, oth ers by. talking scandal, millions by talking to themselves. Some droop if the world neglects to praise them, and of these, some prefer a full draught of adulation, at sta ted intervals, while others, among whom are authors, actors, crowned heads, and handsome ladies, must be tippling it from mortrin£ till night. Some take to the ex citement of hot suppers ; others to ghost stories ; others to authentic accounts of earthquakes, murders and conflagrations. But it were endless to proceed ; tntmey-ma king, money-spending ; fanatical devotion ; auto-da-fes ; Indian torturing of prison ers ;sight-see’ing; last new novels; in a word, many of meo's occupations, and most of their amusements —what are they but the several ways of attaining the same end ; and happy they who so regulate their passions, as to require no other stimulant than a few diurnal sneezes to keep their minds in good humor with the world and themselves. From the Commercial Advertiser. The German Correspondent, June 13, • 1822.—Within the past season, our stock of German Publications and literary intel ligence has greatly increased. In the pi e ’ sent number of the German Cort’espondent which we hope will soon be tallowed by an other, we shall furnish a few items. A learned Physician writes from Germa ny, that through the instrumentality of| (he fate Dr. Albers, of Brerne n, the most im portant medical publications of the United states, had been made known in Ger many, and that the medical literature of America had excited general attention.— In consequence of the death of Dr. Albers, gome of his correspondents haved cease sending their publications to Geimauy, am! the complaint is made that though some of the friends of Dr. Albors had been written to, they had never answered any application. The above mentioned Physi cian therefore laments that lie should be un able to meet with the reciprocity of Amer ican Physicians, more especially as he pur poses to publish in Germany a periodical 1 work to be entitled American Medical Archives, in which reviews of the latest and most important works sent from the Uni ted Slates, will be presented. Should tiiis article meet the eye of any gentlemen who have it in then- power to encourage laudable undertaking) they will receive further information on this subject, by ap plying at this office for the address of the German Correspondent. SIMPLICITY OF MANNERS. I cannot help preserving here a letter written from Switzerland, which lam as sured is genuine. Indeed there is no oc casion for any very strenuous assurances on fins subject; there is a simplicity, a naivete, a turn in the letter, which could not bo invented. In favour of these you must excuse one term used, which is not suited to polite cars, but which could not be changed, without injuring the simplicity of the style. Letter from a Woman to her Husband, a Soldier in the Regiment of Lochmann. “ My dear heart, I cannot refrain fi cm giving you the information that i am, thank God, well and hearty. I shall be very happy to learn the same news of thee, I hope all goes well with thee; every toi-.ig goes on well in this house, except that thy brothers vex and tease me ; therefore l wish you to get leave of absence from your captain ami come home. Thy brothers have wicked tongues, and treat me neither more nor less than as if I were a w . In hopes of seeing thee soon, I am thy faithful. “ANNE MARGARET, “ P. S. I ought to tell you, but 1 hardly dare, though I hope it won’t vex you much, rhat I got.a little too near our neighbor George, and by that means I am with child. —I shall certainly take as much care of the child as if it were your own ; make haste and come, that you may be here by the christening, and make me an honest woman You may do this very well, and am I not always your dear Margare* ? besides, you know that if you had been at home this would never have happened.” Among other tales of the high life which appear in the fashionable English periodi cals, we were struck with the following: American. I Love. Tokens— The giving or receiving of hair, as a token of love or of remem brance., has been considered dangerous nay fatal, to the duration of an attachment. Never was the justice of this objection ren-j dered more manifest, never more strongly! exemplified,than by a late ‘marriage in high life.’ The now Countess of B* was ‘the relict of the late E. T. D . Esq’and in one little month, or ere those shoes were old,’ apd.so forth, we find her once more 1 a | young and blooming bride.’ The countess i was remarkable fora beautiful head of hair | —(teas we say, for it has not had time to ;be renewed.) On the decease of her late i beloved husband, she approached the coffin in which his remains were about to bit in-: closed—seized apair of scissors,& (oh 1 hea-1 vy tale !) cutoff) atone fell swoop,’ those [ teauteoug linglets,• which (as she patheti cally exclaimed upon the occasion) hg had loved so much while living, and which he should bear with him to the grave,’ suiting the action to the word, she cried with GeßtrUde, * sweets to the sweet,’ strewed them on his corse, and was bqrne away in animate.
