Nor fret me with thy sight;

Pray take your speedy flight.

God knows I’ve been full sorely vext
Without those gripes of your’n.

To Cool my boiling blood;
As well astime to make a will,
And do some little good.
I’ll fight you else with pi lb and blisters.

Horrible Barbarity. —On last Friday
night an pet was committed in our jail by
Howard Trask, which, for its barbarity, is ,
almost unparrallelled. Tra'sk* who was
engaged in the murder of Billy Williams, <
at the State P>isn and acquitted by reason
of Insanity, has since been kept confin’d tin- ]
der the Statute of this Common wealth ap
plicable to his case. His conduct till with
in ab -ut two months had been quiet and
rational. \t this time he exhibited some
signs ofinsanity, befnfc very noisy, the ex
cellent keeper of our jail accordingly remo
ved every other prisoner from his appart
ment. After this was dsne the conduct of j
Tra-k changed and he appeared sulky,till
within about ten days, when he again man
ifested all the appearance of a rational man.
About three days previous to last Friday,
lie requested Mr. Badlam, the Jailer, to
give him some company in his appartinent j
especially sortie one who could read to him
in the Bible. This request Mr. Badlam
mentioned to two other prisoners, Framci-
Duggan, an Irishman, and John NeWman,
an American, who at their own wish were
placed in the same apartment with Trask,
it being more commodious than their own.
At this arrangement Trask appeared pleas
ed and continued till Friday night to man
ifest the appearance of a rational inan. On
this night Duggan and Newman as usual
retired to re*t and soon were -ound asleep
t Newman was first awakened by sune un
pleasant sensa ion, and springing up, found
his abdomen cut across with a sharp i stru
ment, so (hat his bowels actually fell out
The whole integuments of the abdomen,
muscles, fat, &c. were entirely cut through.
He cried mu*der and partly awakened Dug
gan, whom Trask next attacked. Seizing
one of Duggan’s fingers in his teeth, he
stabbed Duggan through the breast so as to
nuncture one lobe of his lungs, and gave
him two cuts diagonally across the breast
and abdomen, one of which was so deep a*
to cause a protrusion of the “ call ,” part ol
which was cut off by the surgeon in order
to restore it to its place The whole ol
this attack by Tra-k was so unprovoked
5c so uoexpei ted that liis unfortuna’e feline
prisoners could hardly tell what had hu<!
them, t'M they found ihen.se!vesimmersed
in their own blond, and their entrails tumb
ling about tlveir feet. There had been m
misunderstanding between them and I’rask
and nothing had occurred to provoke this
deadly assault.
When Mr. Jackson the watch of the jail,
entered lie apartment,'Duggan was resist
ing Trask, who had Dusgan’s hand in hi*
mouth, and appeared to be endeavoring to
repeat his blows—and was at the *me time
ervingout in a loud, voice Robbers, Rubbers!
No weapons, knives or any instrument of
offence had beer, allowed to be in Tra*k’
possession, nor has the strictest search
since the above horrible deed been able to
discover the weapons, with whieh it wa
perpetrated. Kowit was obtained, or what
he has done with it, cannot be discovered.
We regrpt to sav. that the wounds of the
unfortunate prisoners ore an severe -s o
leave lint faint hopes of their recovery.

YIF.IV OF THE NORTH RIVER.
A geniieimn recent y on a visit to the Springs,
speaks thus of his passage up the Hudson:
“The view of the North River, or Hudson, is
indescribably grand and beautiful. We sailed
within a stone’s throw of the shore nearly all the
Time—beholding on the one side, huge masses 1
of rocks called palisaclos, that lifted their tall
heads a thousand feet above us, and whose front;
resembled the gothic structures of old—and on
the other, verdant pastures and green fields,
combining the highest fertility of animated na
tore, the most productive beautiesof the soil.—
No one can sav the pencil of Irving has here ex
aggerated his subject; an insensible soul
would declare that he has written too much of
the scenery of the Hudson, or that his pictures
partake too strongly of imagination.'The truth
is lie can add nothing to its beauties—and tire half
of them has never yet been told. The theme is
measureless such as Byron, with all his kindred
sublimity would delight to dwell upon and con
jecture a spirit in every breeze of its mountains;
or that moved upon the face of the waters. Its
serpentine windings—its deep recesses—the lit
tle cottage under the rocky heights, and isolated,
as it Were from tile rest of the world -the splen
did palace in die distance surrounded by dark
foliage and towering - elms, imparting to it an air
of romance—its impenetrable forests, where the
font of man would seem never to have trod--
these are things which would cal! forth the finest
strains of poetic inspiration—which would induce
Byron again to say—
“ Bass not unblest the Genius of the place!
If through the air a zephyr more serene,
1\ in to tlie brow, ’tis his liis; and if e * race
Along his margin a more eloquent green;
If on the heart the freshness of the scene
Sprinkle its coolness, uiul from the dry dust
Os weary life, a moment lave itclean
M ith Nature’s baptism,—’tis to him ye must
Pay orisons for this suspension of disgust.”
“On our passage up this noble river, we pass
the following mountains, via: Bare Mountain,
135 feet Anthony’s Nose, 1128—Crow's Nest,
14 B—Mull Hill 1486 -Rutter Hill, 1629 —and
one oilier, the name of which lam ignorant,
1580, and which is said to be the highest above
the level of the river. We were also afforded a
fine view of the Catskill mountains, situated a
little in the back ground of the Hudson—their
greatest elevation 3855 feet, The water was
perfectly calm, & nothing disturbed its surface
but a solitary sturgeon now and then darting up
several feet from bis element, as if to take the
i air, and view the surrounding scenery. A cele
brated professed bugle player was on board our
boat—and the effect of his instrument from the
upper deck of the “ ichmond” was, as may be
imagined, truly delightful. In short, to the ad
mirers of nature’s works I know of no excursion
more pleasurable than that which may be enjoy
ed on the North River. Whatev epdelights the eye,
or can rekindle the imagination, may be found
! h U re—earth alike in her richest and rudest attire
bursting on the sight, & entrancing the attention
—there business may throw off her cares, and
mingle in the scene of enchantment—and litera
ture need look for no other resources than the
üblime imaginary before it.” —Boston Gms.

GIBRALTAR PAPERS. V
We are indebted to capt. Noyes, of the fast
sailing brig White Oak, for a file of the Gibraltar
Chronicle to the 17th ult inclusive The Ameri
can squadron left Gibraltar on the 7th for Port
Mahon, their usual rendezvous.
Capt. Noyes informs that official intelligence
had been received at the different consulates in
Leghorn, of the declaration of a blockade of ail
the Turkish ports in the Levant by the admiral
of the Greek fleet—who continued successful in
his operation* at sea against the Turks.
The season in Italy, and the Mediterranean, had
been remarkably hot and dry.
An order was published at Madrid July 24th,
•declaring the 7th military district, (Catalonia,)
tin a state of war. The army of operations, of
whieh M ina was the chief was directed to occupy
the district.
A treaty of peacp has been concluded between
Tuscany and Algiers. The differences between
Spain and Algiers seem likely to betserious
Toulon, July 7. —Repr Admiral Ilamelushas re
ceived, orders to take command of a squadron
which will shortly Sail from this port. It is
supposed the squadron is to cruize on the coast
of Spain.
Several of the deputies at Madrid, have ad
dressed a series of letters to the permanent de
putation of the Cortes, complaining bitterly of
; tardiness of the government in taking measures j
to secure the advantages recently obtained over]
the enemies of the Constitutional system. They’
recommend the appointment of a ministry, proof
against all assaults; that foreigners who abet con
spiracies, and scatter gold to seduce the u eak,
be banished the country-that traitors be brought
to cQiulign punishment, and that the perfidious
advisers of the king, be hunted down however
exalted their rank
Madrid, July 25 —People begin to talk at Pa
risof the recall of their minister at our court; and
we talk here of calling home the Marquis de Casa
Irujo
Venice was visited by a severe storm on th 24th
, ‘of June. The bodies of 127 persons had been
picked up, who perished by the fall of hail stones,
• tiles, &c.
‘GIBRALTAR, Aug. 7.
’ Letters of June I'th, from Algiers, sav that
1 the plague which hail disappeared throughout the
! extent of the Algerine territory, has again mani
fested itself with a greater violence than hi’ herto
known. Its ravage* are, ho we vet,-confined to the
capital and immediate vicinity. The deaths are
believed to be considerable.
By an Order of the, day issued at ‘-Jgeciras on
the sth Aug. it appears, that a “number of delu-i
ded men have rashly sent forth the cry of rebel-
I lion in the Ronda mountains proclaiming the gn
. verrtnrteiit of tyranny, and subverting the Consti
’ tutional one happily established in Spain.” Troops
have accordingly been ordered to march against
them from Algeciras which are to be joined by
others from Gausin and Casares. The whole co
lumn will be under the command of col. Urreiz
tieta, and consist of 51C foot and 30 horse.

The military commandant at Cadiz, has sent all
his spare troops against the Malcontents in the
Romla mountains.
About the middle of July the Malcontents in
Catalonia entered, and, as usual, exacted money, •
rations, &c. In Olesa, Canet, Arens de munt,
Tarraaa, Castellfollit and t errera, the latter of
which they further burned to the ground. Three
hundred of them were dislodged, at the same
time, from the heights of El Coll de Lilia by a,
, handful of tire, Chasseurs of the militia: another
party was worsted in the environs of Castellvell:
and Misas, Mosen Anton and other leaders were
defeated on two different points—ihe result of
their defeat being, that Misas has abandoned the
en i irons of Vich with the toss of a great many
‘killed and wounded, and withdrawn, in great
confusion towards S. Boy: and that Mossen An
ton was compelled to retrace his steps to Taradel!
whence be hud advanced, many of his men dis
persed.- On the 21st. however, it appears that he
had re-aseinbled about 800 with whom he threa
tened Matfiro; but gen. Milan’s arrival at that
place left him no chance of realising his projects.
; The Town Council of Corea, having heard,
• that a faction in Baniel had it in eontempla
jrion to overthrow die Constitutional system, has
itaken precautions to defeat its plan, with tire as-;
|si stance of the Town of Tout art a and of the vil
lages in the District, both of w hich have promis

Os tire two Columns which had marched upon
Orihuela, from Alicant and Carthagena, the lat'er
has not vet obeyed the order it has received to
fall back.
Tranqilility was almost completely restor
-1 ed to the province of Siguenza by the latest ac
counts.
The commander of ‘he army of the faith in;
■ Navarre, re-entered Aoiz, and was there on the ]
22d ult. After extorting 1000 shirts, and as ma
ny hemp sandles,from the inhabitants, he march
ed out in the night hf that day, and proceeded to
EspoZ.
On the 17th a hand of 120 men had surprised
Corella, or rattier the detachment of militia in it,
who were obliged to b’etake themselves to their
heels. As to the inhabitants they welcomed the |
factious with every demonstration of joy, and,
gladly gave up the arms which they called for, I
their only complaint being, that their visitors dis-j
played too much lenity towards the Militiamen.;
At night the band withdrew, on the approach ofj
th column from Log'-ono. j
The day before, Cuebillas’ had been dispersed;
bv a few men of the regimen of Baylenin Quin
coces (provinces of Burgos )
From that day to the ‘'4th, the two parsons Go-;
rostidi and Ezeiza, and some of their associ
ates, entered, and levied contributions of
some kind or other on Urrestilla, Ascoitia, El-,
goibar, Delia Motrico, Zarauz, Aya and Salinas.
One of these bands, having labeii in with some
government troops under col. Jauregui, was rou
ted and dispersed, after twice attempting to main
tain some good positions it had <aken
Mis Majesty has refused to admit the resigna
tion (already twice tendered) of the new minis
ters of the interior, M.Ca ! atravu, but has commit
ted that of the Minister of Foreign M..
Martinez de la Rbza.
Gen. Zavas, whose coduct at Aranjitex on the
30th of .May was mentioned in the Chronicle of!
June 14, had subsequently been informed by the
Infant Don Francisco, in pursuance of his Ma jes
ty’s orders, “that lie had nothing to do in the pa
lace; that he might go withersoever he pleased;
and that, if 11. M. wanted him, he would be sent
for ” This communication drew from the gen
eral, on the 17th of the last mentioned month, a
representation in which he observed, that he
could not give in his resignation after such an)
unworthy usage, as his silence would ruin his
character, and disqualify him for the rank beheld
in tile army, and begged, that his accusers might
be named and grounds of his Majesty’s resolu
tion stated, in order that he might clear himself,
or, if he could not do so, be stripped of auni
form which he disgraced. To this representation
(adds the Universal) no answer was returned un
til the 18tl} July—that is to say, full ten days af
ter the failure of the mad project to intake au end
of al’ honor?i>le, patriot and constitutional Spsn-r
iards—when the general was apprized, by his •
Majesty’s command, “that H. M. was perfectly
satisfied of bis loyalty, love of order, and attach
ment to his majesty’s person and to his Royal fam
ily; thai his character was not to be affected by the
measure taken by the Infant Dn. Francisco, slid
which H. M. had immediately recalled; and that
he never ought to have left, nor should lie leave
off - going to the palace, to receive his Majesty’s
orders, and proofs of his royal favor.”

The following is a translation of the Note ad
dressed to the Spanish Secretary of State for the
Foreign Department, by the Foreign Mini-tcrs
at Madrid, oil the 7th of July, of which an article
in the Universal, referred to in the Chronicle of
the 26 th of the same month, had enabled us to
give but au imperfect idea:
’ “After the deplorable occut fences which have
just taken place in this Capital, the undersigned,
a prey to the liveliest apprehensions, on account
both of the terrible situation H. C. M. and his
family are placed in, and of the dangers Which

Mr. Marirfcz de la Roza, to repeat, with all the
solemnity which interests of such magnitude caff
for, the verbal declarations whjch they have had
the honor collectively to make to his Excellency.
“The face of‘Spain and of all Europe this day
depends on the security and inviolability of H C. j
M and of his family; this precious deposit is com- {
mitted to the care of his Majesty’s Government, I
and the undersigned take pleasure in renewing i
th** acknowledgement, that it could not have
been entrusted to ministers more honorable, or
more worthy of confidence.
“T‘ e undersigne?., perfectly satisfied with the
‘explanations, full of dignity, loyalty ami regard

mouth of H. E. Mr. Martinez de la Roza, would j
not be wanting in their most sacred duty', if they j
should n u repeat, on this occasion, in the name
of their respective sovereigns, and in the most
formal ntannei; the declaration, that on the con

Majesty, irrecoverably depend the re ations be

“Yesterday we received accounts, by a ,

In Gibraltar, it is the opinion that yellow

days ag‘>, the following occui rence took
place, which rivals the celebrated feat of
William Tell. A professional gentleman
stood with a glass tumbler on his barelieatl,
and with his face toward another person,
who at the distance of twelve yards, fli
charged a bullet from acn.sbow at thegla,*
and broke it to atoms, without injuring in
the slightest degree the mortal target, whir A

“The palest features look best in white
sarcenet; a face over flushed appears to ail*
vantage in- the deepest scarlet; and the
darkest conmplexion is not a little allevi
ated by a black hood. In short, he is fur
losing the “.olour of the face in that of the
hood, as a fire burns dimly, and a candlfi
goes half out, in the light of the sun.”

the sublime:—

Went down to see her sister;

Jumped right up and kiss’d her.

(having been unshipped twice with very lit
tle ceremony in the length of half a mile#
by the animal falling on his knees) hit up
on a very whimsical mode of curing the
impedment—which was, by tying a stone
to his tail; and in that slate rode it several
miles, swearing ‘shiver my timbers, but it
is a gtod way to hinder the ship’s going RO
