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. [Paf ‘ot. 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. From the N T Mertentile Advertiser. J i 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. Aco.7. j 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 i ed to join ihe Lorcar.s in case of need 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.” AurrsT 3 The King of Portugal has disapproved of all ‘ has been done by the Prince Regent of Brazil, contrary to the basis of 4 the constution. ] A cor st 6. j On tlie 17th of last month, the Portuguese Cortes declared the following ports in Brazil “Ports of free entry,” and directed Custom-hous es to be established in the same, n Belem m the Great Para St. Louis de Maranhao, Villa de Foe taleza in Ceara, Natal in Rio Grande de.

On the same day they declared mill and void the Decree of the Government of Rio Janeiro, calling together the Representativ es of Brazil, and ordered, that the execution thereof should be suspended in the provinces w here they have ’ begun to carry it into effect. August 7. 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.
