We doubt not the alarming accounts spread on
tlie Indian frontier, the droad ofacalping, roastin g
ckc. have quite unhinged th.o mind of the very
gentle manly E litor of the Columbus Enquirer,
and thrown him into a terrible “ fiustcration f !e
tpeaks of us alter a strange sort. W hat a pity it
is to see a brave man fi'g'itened out of his wits.
y/ e trust, however, that no such lamentable acci
dent as as once belt*! him at Mihedgvihc, will o\ er
take him at tliis time. Though it is contended by
way of apology, that that affair was as much the
result of improper diet, as unusual alarm, or infirm
ity of constituti >n. Ifso, his lriends should have
a care of him.
XVe learn from the Western papers, that the
President has ordered a thousand stand “t arms to
bo conveyed to Fort Mitchell; a company of L ni
ted States troops had already arrived there. All
soar of olTensivo operations on the part of the In
dians had subsided. The last Columbus Enquirer
accuses Col. Crowell oi unnecessarily spreading
ahnn. It will be recolloctcd that the same paper
nftho week previous, charged him with criminal
j'r< r lcct , in not communicating to Gwv. Forsyth,
the hostile intentions of the Indians, and warning
the frontier settlements of their danger ; and lauds
Col. Lewis for taking this duty on himself. Now,
when it appears that, no such hostile intentionsex
.3led, and that these warnings were altogether
-inproper, the same paper hurls its tiny anthemas
agninst Cob Crowell,for his offieiousnessin sprea
ding these reports. Hut so the Editor can have
an opport unity of spirting his ink in the face of an
old enemy, it matters hut little with him, wheth
jt be for doing his duty or neglecting it,

Tmvortcn* Rumor.—We learn from the owner of
<he French brig and schooner which arrived here
on Wednesday !as% from Gnadalonpe, that pre
vious to thoir sailing, a vessel arrived at Poin t
p e r re in a very short passage from Marseilles, re
ported that some French and English merchant
vessels attempting to pass the Russian fleePblock
*<]ing the Dardanelles, were taken possession of
hy the Russian Admiral; whereupon the com
minders of the French and British fleets made a
g'lnand for their restoration, which being refused,
force was resorted to, and resulted in the destruc.
tion of the Russian fleet.
We have not been able to learn the date of the
sailing of the vessel from Marseilles, upon which
Tests the probability of the report—but ns the a-' J
hove brier and schooner had only sixteen days pas
sage from Gorcc (Africa) to Guadaionpe, the pas
si<n of the vessel from Marseilles may have been
rrenorlionably short The position occupied by
the respective fleets at cur last dates, and the ex
citement occasioned by the blockade, gives pro
bability to the rumor.

.Liotlior bulletin had been received,
bringing down the details of the war in Bul
garia, to the 22d of May This bulletin
gi.es the particulars of a very san
gain sry battle having been fought at Para
x idi, in which the Turks have been beaten
with great loss. Tire Grand Vizier, sta
tioned a* rjehouen!, knowing that tho main
Russian army was advancing against Si!is
tiit, and also from the Danube, made the
-attempt to dtivo tho Russian from the latter
placu before tho army came up, and by ad
vancing upon Baz*rujick, to j:ut oil’the coni
lu jificuliun between Silistria and Varna.—
iLj accordingly advanced on the 17th of
May, with i&,yo9 men—an overwhelming
force, four to one, compared to the Russian
ijfco sUU'jttsd at Eski-Arfiauher, a village ;
about four miles to the northward of Para
on the road to Hazardjick, where
-oiguinary engagement ensued, but at the
id of five hours the Turks were compel
ed to retreat. This, however was only
for the moment. With a reinforcement of
•.en thousand men, they advanced to the at
tack, and attempted to turn the left wing
of the Russian force, in order to cut them
off from Bazardjick, and‘the reinforcements
advancing from that quarter to their assis
tance. The combat became more obstin
ate and murderous than before, but the
Turks were, after a long and bloody strug
gle, finally compelled to retreat. The plan
of the Russian General was defence, until
the main army got up, and in this he com-*
plctely succeeded. Next day (the IStb,)
a reinforcement joined the Russian forces
at Paravddi, when the Grand Vizier im
mediately retreated to Choumla, and he in
bis turn will be speedily shut up and assail
ed. The battle has been one of the most
sanguinary that has yet been fought against
the combatants. The Russians stale their
loss to be 1000 killed and wounded, and
that of the Tuiks, 2000 were left on the
field of battle, exclusive of the wounded
whom they must have earned off. This
bulletin puts an end to tEo rumor that the
Grand Vizier had defeated Gen. Roth, and
recaptured Varna. N 1
The bulletin announces in a posteript,
tint a courier had jus? arrived from Admi
ral Greig, with news that the Turkish fleet
which had entered the Black Sea, had hast
ened back to the Bosphrorous, on learning
that the Russian fleet had gone to meet it.
Immediately after this hasty retreat, the
Russian Admiral reinforced the squadron
stationed off the channel of Constantinople,
and ordered some ships to cruise on lire
east coast of Nntolia. About 20 Turkish
transports fell into the hands of the Rus
sians, and anew frigate was set on fire by
the Russian squadron near Schiili, not far
from the Bosphorous.

THE AFFAIRS OF PORTUGAL.
The English papers brought by the last
arrivals contain a very interesting debate
in ihe British House ol Commons, on the
affairs of Portugal and the present policy of
Great Britain in relation to the conduct of
Don Miguel. The speech of Sir James
Mackintosh , mentions many interesting
facts connected with the recent history of
tliis ancient Ally of England, which vve
shall endeavour to give an abstract of, be
lieving they will be acceptable to every in
telligent reader, and serve hereafter as a
key to developo the causes of any disturb
ance which may grow out of tho course now
pursued by Don Miguel.
Sir James, after gating that Portugal has
been bound to England as an Ally by trea
ty for one hundred and fifty years, and had
never drawn England into a voluntary war,
though site had been invaded during that
period tluee times, thus describes her suf
ferings and pourtrays the cnaractor of her
present ruler: -“For the fidelity with which ,
<be maintained her engagements with Eng
and, that country is nosuffering under the
’yranuy of an Usurper who made his way
to the throne by a succession of falsehoods,
erjurios and frauds, which in the case of
my one amenable to the law’s, would have,
ong sinco subjected him to tho most dis* 1
graceful, if not to extreme punishment— -a
being who in addition to his public, has
long labored under the imputation of pri
vate crimes of almost unparalleled enormi
y—-such as are recorded of a Coramndus
ora Caracalla rather than such as belong
to the vicious of modem times—a being
who exhibits in the face of Europe, the
brand on his brow of the pardon which he
obtained from his king and father for an
act of parracidal rebellion.” Having thus
sketched the portrait of this cruel and re
lentless tyrant, Sir James compliments his
Maj sty George IV, for the gracious man
ner in which he had received her Most
Faithful Majesty Donna Maria 11, and
then proceeds to explain the tenure by
which Don Miguel holds the government of
Portugal. He states that in the year 1825,
a treaty of reconciliation between Portugal
and Brazil, founded on the principle of a
peaceful separation of the two branches of
the Empire, was negoctated under the au
spices of Austria and France; that in that
negociution Sir Charles Stuart, a distin
guished English nobleman, acted as the
Minister PSouipotentrary of King John the
6th, the then Monarch of Portugal. Sir
James, by the agency which Sir Charles
Stuart had with the formation of the treaty,
wished inferontially to shew the presence
of the agency also of the British Govern
ment This was however disclaimed by
Mr. Peel, in reply, who affirmed that the
Ministry to prevent such an inference beins
drawn prejudicial to his Majesty’s interests,
had taken the precaution to make formal
disavowals to ail the European govern
ments, stating emphatically that the act of
Sir Ciias. Stuail was of his own volition
and not at all connected with the govern
ment of his country. We will now return
to Sir James Mackintosh’s detail. The
treaty was made in August 1825, and King
John the 6th ofPoitugal died in the month
of March following. By his will ho ap
pointed his daughter, the Infanta the Re
gent of Portugal until Don Miguel should
arrive at Lisbon from Vienna. Don Mi
guel then barred the rights he afterwards
usurped, by the most solemn oaths, and by
promises not inferior to oaths, with men
of conscience; that he acknowledged before
the powers of Europe the rights of Don
Pedro and oi the regency of Donna Maria,
during the miotmiy of the Infanta, whom
he has acknowledged as tho lawful Queen
of Portugal The present policy oi Eng
land it appears is, to observe neutrality be
tween the conflicting Portuguese interests;
but this Sir Janies denies sho has the com
petency of doing, without violating her
plighted faith, because of her participation
in the arrangements of Don Pedro. Don
Pedro after the death of bis father proceed
ed to execute th# Treaty of Separation.-
By that treaty, Sir James states, that al
though Don Pedro renounced the right and
pretensions of permanent King of Portu
gal, he reserved to himself the right of ex
ercising authority as King so far as to car
ry into effect the provisions of that treaty;
that one of the conditions of the treaty was
that Don Miguel should intermarry with
his (Don Pedro’s) daughter, Donna Maria
da Gloria., which as yet Ijjb never been per
formed.
Sir James ascribes to the influence act
ing out of llie circumstances of the treaty
ueing negotiated by the British Plenipo
tentiary, and of its having been brought to
Portugal by him, its reception by the peo
ple. On tho 30th of October, 1826, Don
Miguel underwent the ceremony of being
betrothed to Donna Maria do Gloria, be
foie the Nuncio of the Pope, and in the
preseuce of the British Minister. But at
the very moment he was having the solemn
oath of fidelity administered to him to carry
Into effect the treaty, he, it appears, was
engaged bv bis Agents in Portugal in raising
a rebellion against the .Constitution guaran
teed by it, which rebellion was suppressed
by the timely landing jof British troops sent
out under the Ministry of Mr.
it further appears that in the autumn of
1527 the Portuguese Ambassador at Vien
na, presented a note founded upon letters
from Don Pedro to the King of England
and to other personages. On tho basis of
which note, and on the opinion of tne
greatest Ministers of Europe, Dun Miguel
was acknowledged King of Portugal; and a
protocol or minute was made on the sub
ject. In this protocol was the decree of
Don Pedro, nominating on the 3d of July,
1827, Don Miguel to bo bis Lieutenant in
th** kingdom of Portugal, confirming the
then existing institutions, and containing
provisions for the purpose of carrying into
effect the constitution or charter granted
by him to his Per uguese subjects. This,
says sir James, is clearly a conditional ap
pointment of Lieutenant—as conditional as
words cau make it. Next to this, ho says,
was a letter from Don Pedro, addressed to*
his Britanic Majesty, beseeching him as the
most ancient and faithful ally, as the pro
tector of Portugal, not oniy to aid in placing
Don Miguel in the Regency , but to take
care that the Constitutional Charter should
become and be as a fundanientary laws to
the kingdom. It further appears that a
similar letter was addressed by Don Pedro
to the Empe.or of Austria, the father-in
law of Don Miguel. This latterjact being
thus made known to Prince Metternich, he
expressly required of Don Miguel an une
quivocal declaration that he would comply
with and fulfil all the conditions and requi
sitions of the treaty and protocol, and tnat
ho should also return to Portugal through
the kingdom of Great Britain, and under
the auspices of its Monarch. The right to
exact of Don Miguel these terms atoso,
doubtless, out of his former committal to
prison, and banishment for his attompted
rebellion against the life and kingdom of
his father, and being agreed to by him, as
the great powers of Europe were pledged
to preserve the integrity of the treaty, Sir
James thinks England bound, as one of the
parties to that agreement, to force Don
Miguel to a compliance with the provisions
cf the trealv. Sir James further censures
the conduct of the British Naval Common
ers for having fired upon the Portuguese
subjects bound to the Island of Terccira,
and of having compelled them to seek a f
asylum and refuge in the ports of France
the natural enemy of their ancient ally.
Sir James mentions one fact in connec
tion with th3 conduct of Don Miguel, which
shews, perhaps, in stronger colors than any
other, the baseness of his character. When
he was taking the prescribed oaths in the
presence of tho Cortes, he seemed to swear,
but only muttered unintelligible words, and
while he satisfied those who believed him
sincere, he kept a reserve for his own con
science when he should choose to break
through that sacred obligation, Perhaps,
says Sir James this was the most scancU*
lous and disgusting of alf his perjuries. It
arose out of the most paltry cowardice and
the lowest superstition, and it offered the
lowest indignity to that sanction he affected
to regard. Nothing, continues this indig
nant and eloquent British Senator, more
shocking can be conceived than for a
Prince of one of the noblest families of
Europe, at the moment of bis inauguration,
to resort to one of those knavish tricks
practicised in that country only by the vi
lest wretches at the Old Bailey, in hopes
at ouce to cheat their own consciences and
the searcher of hearts.
Insults to Females.—A young man w?s

Office yesterday afternoon, to answer to

A woman complained at tho same office
yesterday afternoon, of a man who lives in
the upper part of the city, for a similar of
fence. It appears that she is a poor wo
man who takes in washing for a living; and
by the fruits of her industry supports her
family. The scoundrel who insulted her on
Thursday night made her the most diugust
ing proposals, but as he did not lay violent
hands upon her, the magistrates could do
nothing about the matter. It is to be re
gretted that some mode could not be devis
ed to punish him now. He holds a respec
table situation in society, and ought to be
exposed to the public.— N. Y. Alar. Her.

Artificial Diamonds. —Respecting tho
.reported discovery of the art of forming
Diamonds by chemical process, the follow
ingquotation from the Annales de C/iimic
is made in lire last number of Sillimau’s
Journal:
Several accounts of the crystallization of
pure carbon by artificial means, and the
consequent formation of diamonds possess
ing the hardness, transparency, and rest ac
tive power of that most valuable of nil the
gems, have been published in the journals,
and have attracted public attention. But
on tho 24tli of November last, M. Thenard f
stated to tho academy of sciences, that in
conjunction with Dumas und Cagniard de
la Tour, he had carefully analysed those
crystals, and had ascertained that they were
only silicates and not artificial diamonds. N
RESUSCITATION BY OXYGEN GAS,
From apparent death by drowning.
Cambridge, Md. Marrn 31, 1829. j
To the Editor of the Aflass.—Dear
Sir,— At the close of my chemical amuse- §
ments of this winter, an accident occurred, j
which gave rise to an experiment, whose
result deserves, I think, to be classed among
the subjects of your invaluable Journal; it
is one upon the efficacy of oxygen gas, in
an extreme case of Asphyxia.
A favorite young beagle hound had fal
len into a neighbor’s cellar, full of water,
and was drowned; how long he lay there,
(which is a prominent point in the case.)
can only be conjectured, from the following
facts: He was heard flouncing and yelping
in the water; and the family believing he
was a mad dog, did not venture in to his
relief, until their negro man returned from
a ride two miles, on which ho had been
sent shortly before the accident; when
they supposed he had got out, as he had
bcfSn long silent; bur, on searching, he found
him lying dead under the water, and drag
ged him out; finding it was my dog, he in
formed my servant, who obtained a wheel
barrow, and brought him home, and then
went in quest of me; when I arrived, with
some gentlemen who - accompanied me to
witness the experiment which I proposed,
wp found the dog’s body and limbs so cold,
hard, and inflexible, that, taking him by
the foot, he was turned over, as a block with
four pegs attached to it.
Having at hand some jars of gases, and,
fortunately, ono of oxygen, which I had re
cently piepared for a similar experiment
with smaller animals, to be placed under as
phyxia, from carbonic acid gas; but not
having executed my design, I filled a large ,
biadder with the oxygen, not diluted with
any portion of nitrogen, because I wished
to produce the greatest possible excitement
in a casa so desperate; I attached to the
bladder a small brass stop cock, with a long
beak, and infused into his lungs, by a vio
lent pressure of the bladder, a copious dose
of the gas; upon which, ho instantly made
a convulsive and solitary yelp, to the full
pitch of tho usual and shrill voice in the
chase; the doso was repeated with the same
effect, until the gas was consumed; he was
placed by the fire, in wa/m blankets,-fric
tion constantly applied, and a strong dose
of diluted volatile ammonia forced into his
stomach; his body and limbs became relax
ed; nis respiration short and rapid, with
snbsuilus tendinum.
This experiment commenced at ono o’-

The Dog “Dandle."—Tne author cf*
work pubfisiied in Edinburgh the preset,
year, under the sober title of
cal Sketches and Authentic imedotes tis
Dogs, * gives au astonishing amount of the
sagacity of “Dandie,” a Newfountand half
breed, belonging to Mr. Me Inure, paten*
mangle manufacturer, of Regent Bridge,
In selecting from the anecdotes of his bio
graphy, a few examples of the ns guy
that have been the foundation of his taoie
we must be permitted to make the title of
the volbine and particularity of tho account
the vouchers for the facts set forth.
As tho animal continues daily to give thi
most striking proofs of his powers, he is
weii known in the neighborhood, and any
person may satisfy hiuiself of the reality of
those feats, many of which (he writer has
himself had the pleasure to w itness.
When Mr. M. is in company, how nu
merous soever it may be, if he but say to
tho dog, “Dandie, bring me my hat,” 110
immediately picks oui the hat from aUvlte
others, and put it in his master’s hand.
A comb was hid on the top of a munilc*
piece in the room, and the dog required 10
bring it, which he almost immediately did,
although in the search he found a number
of articles also belonging to his master,
purposely strewed around, all which ha
passed over, and brought the identical
comb which lie was required to find, fully
proving that he is not guided by the sense
of smell, but that lie perfectly understands
whatever is spoken to him.
One evening, some gentlemen being in
company, one of them accidently dropped
a shilling on the floor, which, after the most
careful search, could not be found. Mr.
M., seeing his dog sitting in a corner,and
looking as il quite unconscious of what was
passing, said to him, “Dannie, find us the
shilling, and you shall have a biscuit.”—
The dog immediately jumped upon the ts
l)le, and laid down the shirting, which ii3
bad previously picked up without having
been perceived.
One time, hav-ing been left in a room in
the house of Mrs. Thomas, IJigb street, ho
remained quiet for a considerable lime; but
as no one opened the door, lie became nn
patient, and rang the bell; and when th®
servant opened tliedoor, she was surprise
to find the dog pulling the bell-rope.
that period, which was the first time he
was observed to do if, he pulls the he*
whenever he is desired; and, what appears
still more remarkable, if there is no >
rope in the room, he will examine the t*bf
and if he finds a hand bell, he takes - J
his mouth and rings it. ,
A number of gentlemen, well acq J3 ; ;,lC
with Dandie, are daily in the habit oi l
ing him a penny, which he takes to 3 J.-
ker’s shop and purchases bread tor uiir.se*-*
One of these gentlemen, who I!U3
James 1 square, when passing some
was accosted by Dandie, in exnsctatim* u
his usual present. Mr. T. then
him, “I have not a penny with me to *
but I have one at home.” Haying ,ett, \‘„
ed to his house some time alter, * ,e
noise at the door, which was opened

his penny. In a frolic Mr. r i * 11 * g
bad one, which he, as usual, carried
baker, but was refused his breau,
money was bad. He immediately r c<t ' 4
,ed to Mr. T.’s, knocked at the ■;'•
when the servant opened it, laid Kh*
down at her feet, and walked off* sc-inn
with the greatest contempt. . |3 a
’ Although Dandie, in general,
