THE MUSEUM. TOR THE MUSEUM, THE DUELLIST ! O ! mark joy the wretch with the dark haggard brow * * And ferocity gleaming like fire from his eye, Whose mien and whose aspect no feature can show Hut guilt! deadly guilt! of the horridest die. O ! list to his speech, how it faulters with dread; How his limbs fail their office through height of his crime; Remorse and despondence are bleaching his head, His youth is embittered and marred in its prime. His demoniac soul and liio ossified heart Are corroded by guilt unrepented of still; Reflection no balm can afford to the smart, Distraction and phrenzy his purposes fill. O say not the deed oftbe deatli that he did Was sanctioned by custom and called for hy ’ right; The sun in the heavens blushed deep at the deed, Ar.d shrunk in ante ze from so horrid a sight. ’ The duellist’s heart and the murderer’s hand Together are blended in nature’s dark womb; And he who with mat dor his forehead can brand, The gibbet should save from the damps of a tomb. 1TR0..1 THE WASHINGTON REPUBLICAN. The authenticity of the fo,lowing com munication may lie confidently relied on by the public, as there are now alive those who heard the person that now furnishes it, narrate the facts contained therein imme diately after his return from Mount Ver non to the city of Annapolis., precisely as he is now about to slate them. B. G. Washington county, Met. Sept. 5, 1822. V( r hilst I was a student at law, in the city of Annapolis, and the late M . John I*ol ke Custi* was a pupil under the ltev. J. Boucher, of the same place, bv permis sion of his father-in-law, the then Colonel George Washington, I accompanied young Guslis to Mount Vernon, tv>d passed the last week of the year (I think) 1.72, and the first week of 1773, at said place Lord Sterling and Captain Foye, the latter -us whom was at that time private secretaiy to Lord Dunmore, the then governor or of the dneient Dominion, (Virginia was so called at that day.) being on the way from Wiliamsburgh to the city of N.Y. stopped at Mount Vernon, and continued there during three days, the weather being very tempestuous and-snowy. The last night that said characters were there, just after the cloth was removed from die supper ta b\e, a man of colour named Billy, Colonel AYan\us,'on’a favnuri e servant, who had been sent by his master to Alexandra for letters and newspapers, e.utet ed the supper] * room and delivered to his master a large] bundle cordaining letters and newspapers.] Coloned Washington, with a cast of hisi hand, placed,the newspapers about mid wa y the supper table, around which there weie then sitting a large company, Lord Sterling ,n ‘he right and Cayt. Foye on the Ictft l and ~f Mrs. Washington. When Cotinel Washington sbplaced the pipers, he requested that, if they contained any im portant information, it might be read aloud to the company.* It so happened that I laid my hand on an Eastern paper, which; contained an article of intelligence to the: following effects “That a yankee smug- { ier, being Pursued by one of the King’s| vessels of w ar, (and 1 think she was called) the Uaspee.) hogged the shore so closely! *hst the former (the wind then blowing extremely hard) missed stays, and ran plump ashore The neighbouring brother Jonathans quickly collected in great num bers, the tide .gat ebb, they soon board ed aid burned her.” 1 teau said article * nud to'be company, and was immediate* ’ |y equested by C. Foye in pass the news pane* to him, w t, O . when the had read the Bi ncle. had the audacity to declare that’ The yankee s mu s i be phlebotomised!” and that he, yes, that he, “would engage, at the head of five thousand British legulars, to march from B >st 0 n to Charleston, South Carolina, and put down all opposition tho the revenue ads,” that had then been re ce ,tlv passed by the British Parliament fir the purpose o *f raising a revenue in the. British colonies. Colonel Washington, at th close of this insulting declaration, ins ton. y fixing hi* 4 e y<s on C. F iye, obser ve!: 1 question not, Sir, that you could march from Boston to Charleston, South Carolina, at the i„.ad of live thousand Brit ish regulars: but do you mean to say, Sir; that you could do so, as a friend, or as an enemv? if a*the latter and you will allow me a few weeks notice of your intention; I will engage to give you a handsome check with the Virginia riflemen alone.” When Colonel Washington was ottering the words with th e Virginia riflemen alone, he struck tne t a b!e *o violently with Ins clenched hand, that some wine glasses ami a decanter near him with difficulty main tained ‘heir upright positions. C. Foye made no reply, but turned his face imme diatte’y towards Mrs. Washington said a few words to her, looked very silly, and soon after requested to fie showed to his chamber Col. Washington appeared to be very much displeased. >lot a word was sad by aov of the company in reference o said article of intelligence, while they;; emained in the room; but when the Revi, Waller Magowan, ‘O’ho was one of the i company, and who had resided some years before in the Mount Vernon family as a piivate tutor to young Custis, had, with two other gentlemen and myself, arrived at our bed chatffier, he remarked that, during the whole time he had never seen the master of Mount Vemoijjpo displeased as he appeared io have been that evening with Ctpraiti Foye. I lemamed two or three days at Mount Vernon after Foye took his departure there from, and then re turned to Annapolis. This occurrence took place some years, (say four or five) before the commencement of hostilities be tween a detachment of the British army and the Provincials, at Lexington, and is now communicated as stiong proof that Colonel Gwjrge Washington had determ ined, longToefore hostilities did so begin, to oppose force to a British army, should such an attempt be made as the braggado cio Foye had the aft’ nntcry to say, in his presence, and at his own table, he would carry into effect, at the head of. five thou sand British regulars'. From English papers. Dissection of a Dandy. —A most laugha ble scene took place at this office, before Mr. Gdfith, the sitting magistrate. A gen tleman of the name of Laing, having be“ti robbed of a quantity of wearing apparel, by a person named Win. Cavanagh, whom lie emproved out of humanity, applied at the office, and procured a warrant against thi-! man, which being placed in the hatids of; Hewitt, the officer, for prompt execution, the officer, being first informed that the sus- j pccted person was a regular built dandy.i of ordinary stature, but of remarkably flip pant appearance possessing, as much as hi i tuition in the capacity of a footman would! allow, the manners, airs and appearance off a coxcomb, or'puppyish footman out nil place, went to take him into ‘custody, and j on making inquiry ascertained that this) man was “dressing for dinner at a neigh booing barber’s shop, to whiclrfie according ly went, and was almost suffocated veil 1 the va'idy of perfumes which the barber was applying to the head of prisoner, whom he with toe assistance of red hot pinchers, was finishing most exquisitely about the sconce. The officer haring in timated his er rand, proceeded very gently t<* hand offth prisoner, who screamed aloud and called for help, but was only laughed at by the passengers Being brought to the office and placed at the bar, the first thing that was done was the removal of a fashionable fro -k coat, wliirh was instantly sworn toby Mr. Laing, as his property; and on sundry pieres of old cloth and stockings being re moved, which were tied round his body, for what purpose we could not learn, as the articles were not liable to Excise, unless the gentleman wanted tosweil his bulk Mr. Laing also identified his waistcoat, of an equally modern cut, and afterwards, on closer examination, tho trowsers and shirt which the prisoner had on. At this mo ment an old lady stepped up to the prison s or, and giving him a box on the ear, which almost sent him fainting, took a large black ] scarf from his neck, declaring it to be her property. This the prisoner, in defiance to all the modern art of cravat tying, con- j trived to arrange in a very singular manner, to conceal its very great dimensions, — I Fiery article on him being claimed, he | stood indeed a show, anil on a closer ! search being made on the removal of the | shawl, he had, it appeared, invented anew i specie* of shirt collar, cut with all the mil lleiipryand fashionable taste imaginable, there was found a halfsheet ofline foolscap paper, very stilly pinned about his neck.— The spectators present were nearly con vulsed with laughing; and as may be sup posed, a little surprised, at the taste anil exquisite skill of the prisoner in rigging himself for the lounge in so cheap a man ner. THE| SHAKERS, A letter from Portland, dited the sth inst. in giving an account of a journey rast of Portland, among other things mentions the following. “ On Sunday morning, we proceeded toi Thomson’s Pond, the residence of thej Shakers, and went to their meeting.— i Kvery part of the village is in the highest state of cultivation, and looks as it the’ hands of industry reigned there.—Their| meetinghouse is a white building of wood with two doors, one for males anil the oth er for females; the beams on the walls art about a yaid apart painted black, and var nished, so that you wight see your face in them. They appeared ve p y solemn in their worship—they sang ‘several long hymn®; the men addressed the strangers in) a very solemn and impressive mantiei; they then took oft’ .heir coats, and hun<r; them up and began to dance; they go for* ward, and then turn round—they appear very sincere,and there is no doub’ u.anv of them are goods Christians. Tiie females! wear handkerchiefs—the boys and girls! dress just like old men and women.” A whale went ashore at high water on Friday, says tlia Boston daily Advertiser, at Horse Neck, opposite Uye Island, on the land of the Hon. Mr. Adams, in Quin cy. He is over 23 feet in length, width ol his tail 7 feet 8 inches, and about 12 feet in circumference. At low water he was leli several rods above the tide.

The use ot macliin ary, to diminish labour, is but feebly adopted, and, the execution of those few machines they construct, is so bad, that they are scarcely of any benefit, As the ore is brougt from the mine on the backs of men, it is necessary that the descent should be made verv capacious. That ot the mine Valenciana, is 1680 feet in perpendicular depth, and 90 feet in circumference. The pit is dug in the solid rock; it is beautifully walled, and, when completed, having cost a million dollars, imav be considered as one of the greatest and boldest undertakings in the history even of Mexi co Mining. The mine has the peculiar property of being free from water, a circumstance of vast importance, since othermines, equally rich, have have been abandoned, because ihe proprietors have not been enabled to exclude the water, where the steam engine is not yet adbpted. In the year 1760, the country around this mine was a perfect desert. M. Obregan, a Spaniard, with a vehement passion for mining, with the confi dence of richer mew who” assisted him, began to excavate. In 1776. though he had got to the depth of 260 feet, the value of the produce was less than the current expcnces He then enter ed into partnership with a small trader, named Otero, who had some ready money. They con tinued their operations, with confidence in the result, till in ‘771, they came to masses of sul phuretted silver, mixed with native and red sil ver. From 1771 to 1804 the mine has yielded a •gross produce of /250.00 C sterling, and, in some ‘of the most profitable years the two proprietors have each shared the enormous sum of 1250,000 1 sterling. The spot where these operations com ! menced was occupied by a few wild goats, and in ‘ten years it became a considerable town, with 7 lor 8,(TO0 inhabitants; surrounded with cultivated •and highly productive fields. As the miners have [gone deeper for the ore. the expenses of raising jit haw-been increased; but the quality hassoim- I proved, that the net profit to the proprietors has continued the same. The expense of working ‘this mine amounts annually; IX 90,"00 sterling; three-fourths of which is for wages to the labour ers, and the remainder forgnnftowder. steel, iron, wood, leather, and tool sos various kinds. The cost of powder for blasting the rocks, amounts to< /lfi.O’ O s'erliog annually. The number of indi jviduals employed is about 3,000. The principal ; j manager receives a salary of/2,500 sterling, and jhas under him several overseers, and nine master miners. These headmen visit daily the subter raneous operations on the backs of men who have ; a kind of saddle for the purpose, and are called little horses, (caballitos.) The whole of the labour of the mines is per formed by freemen; the labour, though volunta ry, is very severe, and the people are stimulated to perform it only by being paid, not by the time occupied, hut, by the quantity of work that 13 performed. The ore is carried solely by men, who are so accustomed to this kind of labour, that they remain with a load from 240 to 370, pounds on their, backs, six hours at a time, during which they ascend many thousand steps in the pitts, in a temperature from 71 deg to 77 deg of Fahren heit. They proceed in files of 50 or 60, anaiig whom are some boys of 1 or 13 vears old, and some men, more than sixty, each of them loaded; according, to his own estimation of his strength.) In ascending the stairs, they throw the body f'or- ( ward,and support themselves with a staff, about) a foot long. They walk in a zig-zag direction, having fpuiulbv experience that their respiration is thereby less impeded. Tire muscular strength j acquired by these men must be prodigious; since,; without any burden, a person, not accustomed to it, fee’s intolarahly fa'igued from ascending and descending Romany thousand steps. 1 lie weight of each load is agreed on before’ the a-cent is begun; regiila# registers of the quan- j tity carried bv each individual is entered by ac-j countants, and llie quantity*!’ ore brought from the mine is easily escertained to the satisfaction! of all parties. Each digger of the ore is calcu lated to loosen as much from the vein as tlifte of the porters can carry away. This operation is , performed by a kind of iron crow, with a sharpen ed steel point, that requires perpetual re-point jing; for which purpose, small moveable forgers are placed in various parts of the mines. Though the workmen are almost naked and are closely! watched and carefully searched, they sometime contrive to embezzle considerable portions of richest minerals by concealing them in their hair, under their arms and other parts of tbe body.--! These thefts are ofien detected, ana a register is! kept of what is thus seized from the depredators,'. In the mine of Valenciana it amounted in/fourteen! years, to the value of 7-36,0 JO sterling. One would think from the following accounts from the Milton, (N. C ) Gazette, that the h tp-f py time has almost arrived, as the poet sings, When birds ofeverv no'e and feather, And snakes ami toads shall Hock together. [ And bears and wolves shall learn to browse. And go to pasture with our cows. “A few days ago, a tree was felled in the place called Needy Bottom, in Halifax county, Va. for] | the purpose of obtaining honey from a nest of: bees, su iposed to be located in the tree, wln-n j was found as motley a set, perhaps, as was ever] assembled in so small a compass In the ho'-! of the tree, was found, four racoons, three fl -> [iiig squirrels, four grey squirrels, one fox squir-j j cel, a scorpion hornet’s nest, and a screech owl | [On the falling of the tree, vvlieter by the power 1 !of attraction, we will not sav, but it so happen ed that it fell on the nest of a hornet, commonly called yellow jacket! 1!

By the arrival o's the lirig Neptune, capt Mosh-j er, in 38 days from Gibraltar, we have received j our regular files of the Gibral’ar Chronicle from 1 the Ist to the 31st of July inclusive, from which j we are enabled to give our readers the latest in telligence from that troubled kingdom. The Monk of I.aTrappe who has excited the Church Militant to arms in defence of the (Jaiho-j lie Faith and the Holy Inquisition, made himself, master of the forts of I.a Leo de Urgel, in the: latter part of June. lie lias since assumed the! title of “First Consul of the Moderate llepubii- j cans.” Some estimate of the spirit which pervades the ] capital may be formed from the language which J wa3 used in commenting upon the events that j took place at the I‘cr/10, on the Bth of July,. M s imajesty, it seems, expressed his wish on that oc-J icasion, that an end might be potto the effusion of [blood, but he added, that *it would be iucunsW ;tent with file dignity of the throne, that the J j King’s guard should lie compelled to lay down its, [[arms.” On this the editor of the;Universal re -marks, “Wc know not'what right rebels had at [that time to call themselves the King’s Guard.— ‘|They had made an improper use of their arms! j by turning them against their own fellow citizens, 1 and from that moment they no longer deserved j [ tobe entrusted with them ” In another part of his common ‘.fie observes, j ’ that a single word of his majesty might, perhaps have prevented the eight days.exeesses commit [j ted to his presence; and the day is at hand adieu he will shudder at the idea that he tolerated so | [many outrages. The purport of such observations are very pal pable—and the freedom of censure thus liberally 1 and openly bestowed upon the king, is such as to j indicate that bis throne is not based upon confi- j “defice or affection of his people The tranquil ity of Spain, twelve months hence, may be hop ed for; but unless the principles of human action are treading backward, it cannot be expected. A small number of the King’s Guards have be- j taken themselves to a village in the Kseurial , mountains, and continued there at the latest dates, i It is stated, however, that they gradually aban-1 don their asylum, on i eceivlng conciliatory pro- j , positions. j the cry of “long live the king with absolute I power!” resounded in Orihuela at the period of; the late excesses, and the houses of the libera s ; were repeatedly assaled.

One of the steps suggested b the j council is that his majesty should be at the bead oi [ the liberals! The battallions of the national militia, which j had been encamped on the Constitutional square in Madrid, since the Ist of July, were in tiered back to their barracks on the 17th. The army of the Faith, under Quesnda, Baida, Juanito, and Santos f.adron. was dislodged on the 11th, by an inferior force, under colonel Jaure gui, from the heights of F.eoz. Its loss in killed is not estimated at more than 5 ■; but it is asser ted to have lost one half of its men by desertion i ‘after the action, viz. 500 out of 1090. An attack upon Viclt took place on the 15th of ‘July. A body of 3000 malcontents cune up to the gates of the town, but after six hours firing, .were repnlsed with considerable loss.

It is provable that the movements in fa-) Ivor of the royal insurrection were intended to have been simultaneous; but the plot exploded! too soon, and the disturbances have been nni- tornily put down by the cbnstitrttionai troops while the ascendancy of the liberal system is probably establ shed upon a firmer footing than ever. It seems, however, that the Spaniards are jnottentirely regardless of historical events, norof their possible bearings upon ‘heir otvnjinies and kingdom. The dethronement and decapitation : of kings, seem to have entered the minds both of i tile sovereign and the people. One of the Mad rid Journals (El Espectador) lately published a ] paper said to have been transmitted by the king ‘to the council of state, implicating the conduct of [general Ricgo,and propounding several queries, among which was the following: —“’Will the jcouncil and the nation answer for his majesty’s by an anarchical faction, and TV ill he be no longer exposed to such affronts as i l '. e ha* received?” To the latter querd the conn jed replied, that “his majesty’s life was in danger ; trom none but the rebels, and the best guarantee ’ was the attachment of an immense majority of the nation tothe constitution.” Gm. lliego also came forward with a letter in justification of his own conduct in the course of which he took oc i casion to express his surprise, “that he sh >uld have been accused by the kiughimself befoie the council of state; remembers (and he shuddess at’ the recollection) that Charles I.in England, and i the unfortunate Louis in France, were conducted i to the scaffold by their confidential advisers- and I ui-ists upon it, that, favourites, &c. are the only l executioners of credulous and simple kim*j,and ‘ bv no means free constitutions, or the partisans! ot tbe same.” ’ \ i From Portugal. —The following pai ticulars from the kingdom of Portugal, are furnished, in ad dition to the intelligence obtained by former ar rivals: After several days debate, the Portugese Cor tes rejected on the 4th of July, 11 out of 14 ar ticles winch one of their committees proposed to aud to the constitution, chiefly enacting-, that, ex clusiy© of a genetal congress, composed of 50 members ..(one half to be elected by Portuiral and the other half by Brazil.) there should be!; in each kingdom, local Cortes empowered to lc-! gislate on all the matters relative to its internal j administration, subject, however, to the revision ot the general congress winch should ascertain! whether the decrees of thosz local assemblies were not in opposition to tbe constitution or to the interests ot the sister-kingdom To the e-en-1 era’ congress would also have belonged the de termination of all questions respecting- peace or war, or tlie commercial relations of.the empire I he remaining articles, on which no decision! nasyet taken place, would confer the Uesal pow-i er, with some restrictions, on the King’s Ddeirate! in Brazil, rendering Ids ministers responsible for the acts of his ministers responsible for the acts 1 ot Ins administration, without his bein? liable be brought to account himself. to i In the night of the Ist July, an attempt was ! made by some of the men of tiieWimente a 1,1 tered in the citadel of Lisbon, to march out and to create a disturbance in the city.
