VOR THE SAVANNAH MERCURY COUNTRY REMINISCENCE. TRII’MPH OF IMPUDENCE. I was a lover and a poet once, A worshipper of women and of rhyme \ And never clearly thought myself a dunce Until that sly old creeper, Gaffer Time, Had been some two and twenty years my teacher; And though a stubborn pupil, i became Convinced, at last, he was the only preacher Whose lessons were quite certain to reclaim. \ lov’d about five years—and man or boy, Before or since, ne’er felt “the passion strong er > And strange to tell, my love had no alloy,— I would have died to right her not. to wrong her. Her name was Julia Ann—l can’t describe her, And would not if 1 could—but she was all Wo dream of beauty—slender, graceful, tall; And see her where you would, you could but note . , , Her eve, her smile, her voice, her foot and bon net ; To all of which I wrote a special sonnet. ’ I was the chosen of my Julia s mother The father trusted all things to the wife ; And with her Tony Lumpkin of a brother, 1 frolick’d, danced and drank, until his hte, His sister, and his fortune —all, he swore, {Should be my own—l could not ask tor more . We were bethroth’d, as every body knew, Except ourselves —and we had not a doubt That such a tiling would be ; —and yet time flew, And we did not explicitly breathe out, All that our hearts had garnered up—but then Our c\es would talk, —and actions speak, tis ? ,3.1 c! • Louder than words —we meant, indeed to wed. Some ten miles off, one dark and stormy day, A matrimonial knot was to be tied ; And Julia Ann must go—“she could not stay, “At such a time, from her dear friend, the bride. We went, —some dozen couple .—and the rain Detained us at the bridal mansion through A “live-lorn* night,” to uie—pray God again, I ne er may pass such wretched hours anew . Well! we had dance, and song, and cake, and wine * Rich viands and kind greetings and I thought, And so did Julia, —of the glorious time, When we should be exactly what we ought— The happiest, fondest, most delighted pair, That ever match d—no matter when or where. There's not on earth, alas ! £ paradise, Where no curs’d fiend is lurking for his prey ; Mine had its devil, too, —and Julia s eyes, Aye, all her senses, went that night astray— But why should I her Eve-like fall bewail — My only business is, to tell my tale. The bridal circle on that eve was small, And yet not quite select enough for me ; There were some lads 1 did’nt like at all, Who seem and inclin’d to make themselves quite free With ladies hands; and even cheeks and lips Were oft profan’d by sly and hasty sips. But there was one among them who excell and, In open, daring impudence, the Devil; -And if Old Lucifei had ne’er rebell and, Sam Drew had been the Genius of all Evil! He was no Chesterfield—and yet no clown— Had little wit or humor, yet no ass ; His character, the greatest rake in town — His nickname from his childhood, Sammy Brass. lie was the first to greet the blushing bride, 1 And seal’d that greeting with a cracking kiss ; ‘Your husband, madam, well may feel a pride “A King, by heaven ! might envy him his bliss !” Amazement sat upon the bridegroom’s face, j The lady cculd but deeper blush and frown ; j While I stood sighing for her husband’s place, That I might knock the brazen rascal down. Some trifling play had given him excuse, (If impudence like his excuse required.) To romp and caper, and withall make use Os sundry matters, such as he admired! And we had loud reproaches, screams and shrieks ! “Oh!”—“You brute?”—“Sam Drew!”—“how dare you. sir!” “Why ladies, ’tis a wedding—and these freaks You know are harmless-—pray, dear girls, defer “Your killing censures for this dismal night— “ To-morrow we will set all matters right!” I look’d at Julia —and methouglit she seem’d Beyond all utterance shock'd—she breath’d a sigh That spoke of agony—and then t here gleam'd Unnatural fire from her illumin'd eye ! She rose ! and round the circle threw a glance That might have shook the imperial throne of l'rance. i * Girls ! I’m astonish’d,” cried the indignant fair, That you submit to liberties like these j And as for Mr. Drew, I do declare, He shall ask pardon on his bended knees!” “With all my heart!”—and, in a second, down, E n at her feet, I saw him lowly cower ; Iler knitted brow relax’d its awful frown, And 1 bless’d God my chosen had the power, Thus to rebuke audacity so bold— I priz'd her then at —twice her weight in gold! Oh ! tempora mutantur ! but ’tis past— I now can think, without a tear or sigh— And calmly tell my tate :—it was the last And only time, I valued her so nigh. Sam Drew’ was at her feet—l saw him there ! I heard her lips pronounce his sins forgiven— J saw her hand in his—l heard him swear No pardon was like hers this side of heaven ! My senses grew confus'd—l only knew” That Julia spoke some words of kindness to him, And then I saw, ye Gods! I saw him throw His arm around her, still for pardon suing— My eyes grew dim—but faintly I could see A sort of struggle, fainter than my sight! “O Lord !” she cried, and sank upon his knee— “ How very, very weak 1 am to-night!” A tittering laugh resounded in my ears— I heard but little else, till Julia came, And faintly whispered that she had her fears 1 was not well, I was so very tame! “Tame! said you, madam”—bouncing from my chair, And looking daggers at the villain Sam- Then liking to my scat w T ith vacant stare I barely whispered “Lorfl, how weak I am!” Their sport went on—but how I cannot tell; Important business on the coming day, Which could not be by proxy settled well, Kept me from Julia one whole year awav; We met,, as cold and silent as the dead— ’ The reader w ill anticipate the rest— A matron’s stately cap waa on her head— A young Sam Drew was meriting at her breast’ OZIAS.

LIFE OF CHARLES CLINTON, GRANDFATHER OF THE LATE GOVERNOR* Charles Clinton, the father of James and Gdorge Clinton, distinguished iu the. colony of New York as a gentleman of pure morals, strong and cultivated intellect, great respectability, and exiensive ifluence. llis grandfather, William Clinton, was an adherent of Charles I, in the civil wars of England, and an officer in his army; and after the dethronement of that monarch, took refuge on the* continent of Europe, where he remained a long time in exile. — He afterwards went secretly to Scotland, where he married and then passed over, for greater security, to the north of Ire land, where he died deprived of his patri mony, and leaving James an orphan son, two years old. When James airived to manhood, he went to England to recover his patrimonial estate, but being barred by the limitation of an act of Parliament, he returned to Ireland, finally settled in the country of Longford, having married, on his visit to the country of his ancestor s M is:> Elizabeth Smith, daughter of a Capt. in Cromwell’s army; by which connec tion, he was enabled to maintain, at that tim , a respectable standing in the country of his adoption. Charles Clinton, the subject of this memoir was the son of James Clinton, and was born in the country of Longford, in Ireland, 1670. In 1826, he came to a determination to emigrate to British America, and having pursuaded a number of his relations and friends to co-operate j with him, he chattered a ship for the pur- I pose of conveying his little colony to Phil adelphia. By the terms of'the Charter Party, the passengers were to be liberally supplied with provisions and other accom modations, and the vessel was to be navi gated by honest and skillful hands. On the 20. hos May, 1729, the ship’ left Ireland Besides his wife’ he had two daughters and one son with him. After being at sea for some time it was discovered that the commander of the ves sel was a ruffian, and had probably formed a deliberate design of starving the passen gers to death, either with a view to acquire their property, or to deter emigration. He actually killed a man, and continued so long ! at sea, that the passengers were reduced to an allowance of half a biscuit and a half a pint of water a day. In consequence of which many of them died, and Mr. Clinton lost a sot; and a daughter. In this awful situation, the remedy of seizing the cap tain, and committing the navigation of the vessel to Mr. Clinton, who was an excel j lent mathematician, occured to the pas sengers; but they were prevented bv the fear of incurring the guilt of piracy, espe cially as they could not obtain the co-op eration or assistance of the officers of the ship. They were finally compelled to give the captain a large sum of money as a commutation for their lives and on the 4th of October he landed them at Cape Cod. After leaving the ship, she was, driven from her mooring in a stormy night and lost. Mr. Clinton and his friends con tinued iu that part of the country until the spring of 1731; when he removed to the country of Ulster, in the state of New York, where he formed a flourshing settle ment. This misconduct of tlie command er of the vessel, diverted him from his ori ginal design of settling in Pennsylvania The county which he selected was mid and uncultivated; covered with forests; supplied with streams, and diversified with hills and valleys, and abundant in the pro ducts of cultivation; but so exposed (al though not only eight miles from the Hud son river and sixty Irom the city of New York) to the incursions of the savages, that Mr. Clinton considered it necessary to erect a palisade work round his house for the security of himself and his neighbors. In this sequestered retreat he devoted himself to the cultivation of a large farm, and he occasionally acted as a surveyor of land; a profession, which at that time and since, has been followed by the most res pectable men of this country. His leisure moments were devoted to study and wri ting. Possessed of a well selected library, and endowed with extraordinary talents, he made continual accessions to his store of useful knowledge. Merits so distinguished and respectabili ty so undoubted, attracted the favorable notice of the government and the commu nity. Ho was soon appointed by the gov ernor, Sir Charles Hardy, lieutenant colo nel of the second regiment of militia foot, for the country of Ulster On the 24th March 1758 he was appointed by lieutenant governor Delancey, a lieutenant colonel of of one of the battalions of the regiment iu the province of New York, whereof Oliver Delancey was colonel; in which capacity he engagued in actual service, and acted under the command of Colonel Bradstreet, at the siege and capture of fort Froulenac snow Kingston,) on the north side of lake Ontario In 1753, George Clinton, tho iathtr of Sir Henry Clinton, was installed as governor of the colon}'. An intirnaev look place between him and Mr. Clinton, iu consequence of which, and their distant • | • ‘ * u KMUIII | consanguinity, the latter was earnest’y so licited by his namesake, to accept a lucra tive and distinguished office, but prefer ing the charms of retirement, and the cul tivation of literature, to the cares of public life, he declined every overture of the kind. Ilis son George, who was named after the colonial governor, was honored by his early attention, and received from his friendship, the valuable office cfderk of the country. Mr. Clinton was also on terms of intimacy with several of the colo nial chief magistrates, and the leading men of the province; and he is respectfully no ticed by Smith, the historian of New York lor his ingenuity and knowledge. Besi Jes the daughter born in Ireland, Mr. Clinton hao four sons in this country Alexander educated in the college at Princeton, and alterwaius a physician, and a surgeon in the army which took Havanna, in the Island oi Cuba; James, a major general in the Rovolutionary war; and George, governor of ihe state of New York, and vice presi dent of the United States. He was pecu liarly fortunate in his childien. Having devoted particular attention to their edu cation, he had the satisfaction of seeing them possessed of the regard of their coun try, and worthy the veneration of poster- ity. He died at his place, in Ulster, now Orange county, on the 19th day of Nov. 1773, in his 83d year, just in time to es cape, at that advanced age, the cares and perplexities of the revolution; but foresee ing its approach he expired breathing an ardent spirit of patriotism, and conjuring his sons, in his last moments, to stand by the liberties of America Mr. Clinton possessed an uncommon genius, a penetrating understanding; a sol id judgement, and an extensive fund of use ful and ornamental knowledge, with the affability and mannersof an acccomplished gentleman. His person was tall, erect, and graceful, and his appearance impres sive and dignified. If lie happened to be in the company of young people, their first impressions w ould be those of awe and re verence, but in the course of a few minutes, he would enter into the most pleasiug and instructive conversation which would re store their composure, and never failed of inspiring the most grateful attachment and the most respectful confidence. He was a dutiful son; a kind father; a good neigh bor; a disinterested patriot, and a sincere Christian. —— TRIALS FOR THE ABDUCTION OF MORGAN. To the Editor of the Albany Argus, dated Canandaigua, Friday, Aug. 22, ti o'clock, P. M. The trial of the indictment against Bruce ; Dai row and Turner, was resumed this morning at 8 o clock. The people having rested, the defend ant s counsel concluded not to call any wit ness.—They moved that Bruce be dischar ged, on the ground that this court had no jurisdiction of the offence—that no act had betn proved against Bruce in the county of Ontario—that if he was concerned in the conspiracy to abduct Morgan, he acted in the county of Niagara, and could only bo tried in that county and not elsewhere— that the indictment charged a conspiracy to kidnap Morgan from Canandaigua, in the country of Ontario, and transport him to foreign parts and places, and that the prosecution had proved the abduction, and therefore the conspiracy was merged in the consummation of its object—that there could not be an indictment for a conspiracy to do an unlawful act, the act having beeu done ; the indictment must be for the act not for the conspiracy. Gen. Matthews & Griffin argued it very ably for the defend ant, Bruce, and Mr. Whiting and Mr. Butler argued in opposition. The coun sel for the people comended that the indict ment lay for the conspiracy—that the overt acts of abduction were pr oved in aggrava tion of the offence—that the gist of the in dictment was the combination or confedra cy—that the conspiracy being formed to commit a misdemeanour, the doctrine of merger did not apply—that the acts of Bruce in Niagara, county bring in further ance of the objects of the conspiracy, he must be regarded as a principal in the con spiracy—that all the conspirators might be tried in the county in which the first overt act was done, to wit, where Morgan was first unlawfully subjected to their power, and where the conspiracy must have been formed. The court over-ruled the objection, and said the cause must go to the jury. The cause was summed up by Mr. Adams, for the defendant, [Bruce] and Mr. Mosely for the people, and was committed to the jury at 8 o’clock, P. M. The court advised the jury, that if from the evidence they were satisfied that Bruce acted in pursuance of a conspiracy against Morgan, previously entered into, and to whicii he was a party, they must find a verdict of guilty; and if they bylieved that Bruce knew nothing of the conspracy, but first knew of the transportation of Morgan when he act ed, theu they would find him not guilty because bis acts would amouut to an assault and battery and falsie imprisonment, in the county of Niagara, for which he could not be convicted in this county, under this indictment, which was for a conspiracy to kidnap. The court also advised the jury that they must be satisfied that Morgan was in the carriage in which and on which Bruce rode and that Bruce knew it, and further, that Morgan was there against his will, and that Bruce knew that also. Giddings having been rejected as a wit ness, there was no testimony against Tur ner and Darrow, and under the direction us the court, and with the full consent of the public prosecutor, they were acquit ted. Saturday, 7 A. M. The jury returned a verdict of guilty a gainst Bruce at 12 o'clock iast night. The evidence proved Bruce to have rode with the carriage in which Morgan was transported from Molineux’s on the Ridge road, 16 miles east of Leu'iston, to Lewiston, and from thence to Fort Nia gara, all within the county of Niagara. Bruco procured the horses for the exchange at Molineux's, and procured a hack and horse at Lewiston, and the passengers who cnuio in the carriage from the east were exchanged in a back street into the carriage which Bruce procured at Lewis ton Bruce was at Molineux’s with the carriage at 12 o’clock on the night of the 13th September. He was at Lewiston at 2 o’clock same night, and started, from Lewiston about tha* hour towards the Fort. Morgan was proved to be confined in the magazine on the morning of the 14th One wittness heard a voice of a man in the magazine that morning at 11 o’clock. No person lived in or occupied any part of the fort at that time. It has been closed since June, i826 Gainings had the key of the magazine on the 14th of Septem ber. The witness who testified to the voice in the magazine went into the yard of the Fort with Giddings, and Giddings went to the magazine, opened it, and the witness heard the noise; thinking that there was something wrong,he turned away from the magazine, and walked off from the Foit as fast as he could. He was brother-in-law of Giddings, on a visit at the time, and is an intelligent young man ot the name of John Jackson, residing at Lockport It was remarkable that Bruce called no witnesses to explain his conduct, or in any manner to exculpate himself. Constantinople , June 10. —On the 4th j of June, the Porte replied; by R manifes to, to the Russian declaration of war, in which it endeavors to refute all the griev ances of Russia. The Greek question is not particularly gone into in this document, but it is mentioned in such a manner that it is easy to see the intention of the Porte, not to suffer any foreign interference in its internal concerns. The concessions alrea dy made in this respect are, therefore, not likely to receive any further extension, un less the Porte feel itself called upon to use a different language to the other pow’ers from what it holds to Russia. We have here little or no information respecting the military operations of the Russians on the Danube. The fortresses on the left bank of that river are said, however, to be hard pressed, though the Turkish garrisons make a hard resistance and take many prisoners, several of whom were brought here a few days ago. The Grand Vizier, who speaks Russian, had these prisoners brought be fore him, in order to obtain information re specting the Russian army; but it is said he acquired but little. The endeavors of the Pacha of Silistria to procure information respecting the positions of the Russian ar my, are said to have been disappointed by the discovery of his spy at Ismail, who was set at liberty by the magnanimity of the Emperor Nicholas. Little change has been made latterly in the defensive measures of the Porte, except that some batteries’ are erected in the channel at the village of Be logarde, and 800 artillery have been sent to Erzerum, from which place the Porte has been informed that the Russians are at Akiaska. Some Curdish chiefs have arriv ed here with their attendants, in order to proceed in the army. This is the sum of the warlike preparations, for we hear no thing of the departure of the Emperor and of the Grand Vizier for the army, or of the hoisting of the sacred standard. The Bos phorus fs closed, but it is reported to be in tended to allow merchantmen under every flag to pass it on paying a certain tax. A Sardinian vessel with corn from Odessa, has obtained permission to enter the har bor, but it remains to be seen whether the government will not take possession of the cargo; for provisions are beginning to grow scarce, and a contract which the Porte de signed to make with four European mer chants for a million of killos. of wheat, has not yet been brought to a conclusion. At Smyrna, from a fear that the Russian men of war might enter the harbor under other colors, orders were given not to suf fer any men of war to enter the harbor.— An arrangement has, however, been made between the foreign consuls, the Austrian commander, Couut Dandolo, and the Pa cha, in consequence of which this order has been recalled, and a guard ship stationed in the roads. The Pacha, by way of pre caution, has assembled 12,000 men near the city, and great exertions are making to fortify the island of Scio. Some cases of the plague have occurred at Smyrna, but they do not cause any great alarm. From the Gazette de France. Constantinople, June 10—Eye witnesses affirm that the number of troops destined for the defence of the Bosphorus and the Dardanelles do not exceed, at the utmost, 20,000 men. One corvett, 12 fire ships, 12 rowboats, 6 large vessels laid with cannon, amounting, &c. have lately left this port, part for the Dardanelles and part for the fortresses on the Black Sea. On the 2d, there was a grand review at the summer palace at Beschitash. On the 6th. 6,000 m'ditia arrived from Asia, and have been sent towards the Danube A firman bas lately been published, calling upon the people to be ready to march in a mass, with the Grand Vizier, against the Russians. Nevertheless, all the measures of Government show a spirit of moderation which indicates that it does not intend to urge the Mahomedan people to the extreme of fanaticism. The English steam-boat, whose arrival we announced, was purchased for 900 purses by an American Master of the mint, who has made a present of it to the Sultan. Augsburgh Gazette. On the sth, a division ’of 16 ships, of which 12 were fire-ships, under the com mand of Tahir Pacha, arrived in the Dar danelles. Another division under the command of the Captain Pacha, consisting of 4 shipsof the line, 2 frigates, 2 corvettes, and some smaller vessels, is still at anchor, at Bujukdere opposet the mouth of the Bosphorus. The greatest security and the most complete tranquility prevail in the capital, and but fur the continual arrival and departure of troops, it could hardly be suspected that the Porte is at war with a neighboring power. London, July i o.—We have received the Paris Papers of Monday, and the Ga zette de France dated Tuesday. The Journal des Debats has some in genious observations mi the subject of the war between Russia and Turkey. ‘ Tur kish blood,’ says the writer, “only flowed for form s sake the day of the passage of the Danube.
