[Mr. T M iohe has lately published a third
number of the National Melodies, equal, if not
‘superior, in all respects, to either of the two for
mer ones. We subjoin from it the song adapte 1
to the Venetian air It is of that kind in which
he pre-eminently excels.]
flow gently here, my grondolier,
So softly wake the-tide,
That not an ear on earth may hear
But her’s to whom we glides
Had Heaven but tongues to speak as well
As starry eyes to see,
Qb think! what tales ’twould have to tell
Os wandering youth like me.
Now res ! thee here, my gondolier!
Hush! hush! for up l go,
To climb ydn light balcor.yts height,
Whilst thou keep st watch below.
Ob! did we take for heaven above,
llut half such pains as we
Take, day anti night, for woman’s love,
What angels we should be.
From Ward’s View of the Hindoos
* INDIA—WORSHIP OF THE GANGES.
“The water of this river is used in the English
Cour sos Justice,to swear upon —as the Koran is !
given to Musulmans, and the New Testament to !
Christians. Many persons refuse to contest cau- 1
ses in which large sums are at stake, tinder the
fear that they may be constrained to make oath
on the waters of the Ganges. It is not unconi
-mon for one Hindoo to say to another, ‘Will you
make this engagement on the banks of the Gan
gs?” The other will reply, ‘l engage to do what
I have sai'h but I cannot call Ganga to witness.’
If a person utter an audacious lie while near upon
the river, the person to whom he is speaking will
say, ‘Are you not afraid of uttering such a false-:
hood in the presence of Ganga?’
“Morning and evening the Hindoos visit an,.!
look at this river, to remove the sins of the night j
or of thfe day,-when sick, they besmear their bo i
dies with its sediment; and remain, perhaps for a ;
month, near the river: some of course, recover, \
and others die: a Hindoo says, that those who have ,
steady faith, and an unwavering mind, recover: the
rest perish.
“The Hindoos are extremely anxious to die in
sight of the Ganges, that their sins may be wash
ed awav in their last moments. A man in his dy
ing agonies is frequently dragged from his bed,
and carried, in the coldest or in the hottest weath
er, from whatever distance, to the river side
where he lies, ifa poor man, without a covering, i
clayjjnd night till lie expires: with the pains of
death upon him, he is placed up to the middle in
the water, and drenched *vi h it; leaves of a cer
tain p’antare-als) out in o uis mouth; and his re
* latives call on him to repeat, and the also re
peat for him, the names of various gods; they
■ spread the sediment o r the river on his forehead !
or breast; and, with the finger, write on this sedi
ment the name of some deity. Ia person should
die in his house, and not hv the river side, it is
considered as a great misfortune as he thereby
louses die help of the goddess in his dying mo
a person choose to deal home, his

sin mentioned as a subject of reproach, be-!
cause he refused to be carried o the river before j
his deaum • vh! all!’ say the superstitious, when j
a neighbor atthe point cf death delays tile fatal ;
journey to the river, “hi will die like Rajah Naval
Krishna.”
“Dead bodies arc brought by the re atives ofj
the deceased to be burnt near the river; and when i
they cannot bring the whole’ body, it is not un
common to bring a single .bone arijkcast. >t into !
the river under the hope that this Will help the j
soul of the deceased. Many persons, whose re- J
■ latives die at a distance from the river, preserve a i
Übrie for this purpose, at the time of burning their
bodies- The following story appears in one of
the books of the Hindoos: —“A Rrahmin, who
haitbeen guilty of the greatest crimes, was de
voured by wild beasts- its bones only remained.
A crow’ took up one of these hones, and was car
rvingsit over the Ganges when another bird dart
ingl ipoll it the crow let tile bone fall. -As soon !
as the Ipme - had touched Ganga the 11 rail min j
sprang to life: and was ascending to heaven,’
when the ui -sseitger of Yama, the Judge of the
Dead, seized him as a great sinner. At this time
Narayana’s messenger interfered, and .pleaded,
that the sins of this man. since one of his bones
had touched Giinga, were all done awav. Appeal
was made to Visiinoo, who dpcideo in the Brail
min sfavor. The Urahmin immediately went to,
heaven.’*
““orae persons even drown themselves in the
Gauges, not doubting but they wil immediately
ascend to Heaven. And the Sacred Books en-j
courage this! One of them savs, that ifa person
renounces life in the Ganges, whether praying!
for any particular benefit, or by accident, or in his
senses or not, he willb'e happy; if lie purposely!
renounces life, he wHI enjov the highest liappi
ness; but if he die accident, lie will still attain 1
heaven. One of the highest authorities among
the Hindoos says—“A mansion with bones t'orits
rafters ami beams; with nerves and tendons for ,
cords; with mqscles and blood for mortar; with
skin for its outward covering; filled with no sweet .
perfume, but loaded with faces and urine; a man
sion tn tested by age and sorrow, the seat of ma- 1
lady, harrassed with pains, haunted with the 1
quality of darkness, and incapable of standing i
long -such a mansion of the Vital Soul, lot its
occupier always cheerfully quit.”
“S ‘ch are the ridiculous but immorral and des- i
tractive notions, which are commonly believed I
concerning the Virtues of the Ganges: !>ut the !
following’ passage from one of the Sacred Hooks !
themselves surpasses all in folly and wickedness, j
Aster enumerating the most atrocioTis crimes of
which a liiiidoo can form a conception, it is said,
—‘*lt this person bathe in Ganga at an auspicious
period, all these sins will he removed —he will be

ion ><f the merits of the man who presents alack

times more glorious than the sun— he will obtain

in company with his Father—os many particles of

to the Brahmins, for so many years will the giver
dwell in happiness in Vishnoo’s heaven.”

THE ABBE SICJHID.
The late instructor of the deaf and Dumb
at Tar is.
The celebrated and modest Sicard, the
man whom the Abbe de I’Epee had chosen
lur his immediate successor, was, during
two years and four months, the object of an
unmerited proscription:
Concealed in the house of a faithful
friend, who, during nearly two years, expo
sed his own life to save that of so valuable
a man, Sicard undertook to strew with
ftiwers-the earliest path in the studious
career of children, to faciliate their prog
ress and toajlmit the fathers of families in
the exercise of their duties. In a small j
chambrr, by the assistance of a lamp,
whose feeble light seemed unwillingly to!
disclose the respectable features of the es-j
tunable outlaw, and to betray his asylum, j
he wrote his Pasigraphy .*
During this time, the deaf and dumb of
ieverv age, and of both sexes, lamented the
‘absence of their instructor. Sometimes,
looking towards the windows of his cham
ber, their cve were bathed with tears; at
others, they adjusted with the greatest c u e
the arm chair in which Sicard daily exten
ded the sphere of their understandings, and
labored to render them susceptible -f the
impressions of nature. Os all the multi
plied and most significant gestures which
had before animated their per Sons, there
I now remained nothing but the expression
: of dejection and sorrow.
Among; others one of them, Jean Mass
; i eu, the fifth individval of Ins family, who
| had enjoyed the instructions of the respec
| table Sicard was so deeply affected by the
loss of his instructor, that in order to res
tore him to tranquility, they were obliged
to disclose to him the place of his ret eat.
This young man, whose mind and talents
had excited the admiration of all Paris,
and who, notwithstanding his ill health,
had become a tutor in tin* school of the deaf
land dumb, with a sala-y of 1200 francs pci
annum, frequently offered to livide his lit
tle income wiih Sicard. “•My father” said j
he bv the most rapid signs, “My father has]
nothing now; I must supply him with fobd
and clothing and rescue. him from ihe. mis
ery by which he is over hurt hened”
In consequence, he took the wisest mea
surers. He engaged some of his friends
to second him in his generous project, and
resolved to profit for this purpose, of tlje
- tint
! Boully, a draoKitic authq§, excited by the
! enthusiasm ofjiis heart, formed the design
| of captivating the interest of the public in
’ ftvor of the successor of the Abbe de I'Epee,
jby iutrod icing up.tn tlie stage one of the
tnost remarkable traits of life of the cele
brated founder of the Institution of tlx:,
j Deal and Dumb. The enterprise was dan -j
J gerous; but his desire on that account was!
j more invincible. Tlie tears of the audi-j
jcnoe ffovy-ul atthe recollection ofnisex*!

I the deal and dumb Massieu himself to form

brother of the first cousul was at that mo
ment making a visit By his touching re

him, lie succeeded in interesting the heartsj
of many of the company in the feelings of J
his own. lie gave to the brother of the first j
consul a letter, which he had written in his
presence, and wliich contained, among oth
ers, the following remarkable words.
“Promise! oh promise me (o speak fur

loves those men who labour for the happi
ness of their kitid. Then, siirelv, lie.
should love the Abbe Sieard, whose Whole
happiness consists in producing that of the
poor (leaf and dumb.”
This pathetic language of nature excited
tlye admiration of ail who were present, and
produced the most lively emotions in theirl
soul a Massieu, who preceded the effect,!
* m fre liately threw one of his ai ms around’
Joseph Buonaparte, and the other around
Bouilly, and all thaes melted in tears. Jo
seph Buonaparte, who was the must exci
ted, pressing the amible pupil of Sieard to
liis bosom, desired his worthy friend to
communicate to him that he would present

language, 90 as to be read and understood

Consul, and that he ventumj to promise

The effort of Massieu was not vain, The

It was on the 14th of fcbinary, 1800,

exercises of the deaf and dumb was alrea
dy crowded with a number of spectato s,
among whom were distinguished, many es
timable men who had consecrated their tal
ents and exertions to the education oi
youth, and to the advancement of the hap
piness of their species. The scholars, the
deaf & dumb of both sexes, were placed in
the middle of the hall. The vivacity of
their countenances, and the nimbleness of
the signs by which they communicated
their thoughts to each other, proved that
this was the happiest day of their lives.

THE GBBKKWAR.
We have been flavored with the perusal
of several letters received in this city from
jan American gentleman in the Mediter
ranean. lie gives some views of the
: Greeks, and of their propeefs, wliich, be
ing direct and authentic, are interesting.—
The following are extracts:
‘‘Smyrna, June 24,1822.
was a final massacre of the
: Greeks nf Scio on Thursday last, 4 or 5
thousand, in consequence of the G. fleet
having sent a lire ship pmnvg that of the
1 inks, and succeeded in blowing up one!
of their new,74’s, with the Captain Pacha
and 2,000 nien.
‘‘This has occasioned- much irritation
here among the. Turks, aud alarm to the
Greeks, hut >t is toelelved it will pass with
out any outrage upon the latter. There
ha*beer no instance of any injury done
the Franks, e.ither in person or property,
and, so far from apprehending any, they
give a considerable protection to the
Greeks who are in the town.
“I have endeavored to obtain some in
formotion respecting the manner in which
the Greek government is administered,
their military and naval force and the
means they have of supporting a war; but
have not met with any person who knows
any thing of the subject.
“I shall leave here tomorroxv, and call at
some of the most considerable of theis ir

“Their naval force is much greater and
more enterpisiog tl an i .belieted it to be
previous to roy coming in the Archipelago.
With it they have randrred the Turkish
11 cv of 7 fine of battle ships, six large
frigates,and between 20 and 30 sloops of
war, inactive and harmless, with the ex
ception of the massacre at the Island of
Scio; and there the Greeks, who did not
amount to half the population, were dis-
| armed before their arrival.”
‘‘Girraltah I>at. Ist Aug. 182*2.
“We arrived here this morning Irani

led at fpsira and Idira, two t.f the pnnei
jpai islands of the Greeks with respect

I view with their Chief Magistrate, who ex
j presses a belief that, notwithstanding their
i want of money, at ms & ammunition, ! hey
! shall yet be able to free themselves from
| the dominicun of t . • Turks, if none of the
European powers take a part against
them..
“They have an army of sixty-thousand
men at present in the Moree. that is tolera
bly, well armed, but in want cf ammuni
tion.
“They had an entire possession of the
Morea at the time, with the- exception if
thtee foi tresses; and Tripp! Romania, the
! most important of them, was expected cte.i
ilv to surrender. The Tilths had already
j offered to capitulate, on the condition cf
being sent to some Turkish city in neo
j tral vessels, but rrfursed M etubrak oo
jboaid the Greek (Ret, which was offer
led.
j “The Greeks had taken -Athens about
four days previous to my anival at idjra,
) the St of July, and had st ictly oiraerved
j the terms of capitulation, not a Turk be
| injured, in Iris person or his property, .which
j was allowed him by the terms of the capt-
Itulafion. They expiessed the fullest be*

to roleive the Tut ks besieged in Candia,
and were Ivaten -with considerable loss.
The Island of Crete, with the exception
at the towns.of Candia at.d Cannu*, is in
the possession ol the Greeks, anti th y are
be.ssieged; arid, the Gtecks say, would
have been obfiged to have surrendered
long since,had it not been fur the supplies
forced in by the English.
“I was into: mod that the expenses of
tTipjy civil unit miwore
tourtfiousand piastres per month, and that
the revenue was tefived from an income
•ax, th* t of a tenth, and a capitation tax of
one seventh of a dollar for each person.—
But, as their commerce is at an end, and
thrir island badly cultivated, it appears to
me thg.t, as extsemcly small as they state
their expenses, their revenue must be in
adequate to meet them.
