It seeing to us a little singular, to say the least
* it, that the “ influential”* and “ popular” mem
bers of tilt Chi r k party should publish the confi
dential counsel of their colleagues through the
medium of the papers opposed to them. It does
?Bot appear reasonable Besides, it is not at all
probable that “ influential’* Clark men should
volunteer in support of Mr. Gilmer, when it is
highly probable they may have a candidate of
their own. It would be much more natural to at
tribute those extracts of letters to the partisans
of Mr Gilmer.

COMMUNICATED.
POLITICAL DEFINITIONS.
Mr. Editor,
I‘ tndi’ g myself frequently in great difficulty to
understand the terms used in the papers, about
this time of the year, and many of my friends
suffering under the same inconvenience, I have
prevailed upon a learned friend of mine, who is
deeply versed in the cabala of politics, and
high iu the confidence of the heads of department,
to accommodate me with a glossary of terms ,
which I offer for public information. *
freedom t*f Et ecri® a—A $c ri of bugbear word,
meaning nothing more nor less than this—that
people go to the polls bound up and fettered, to
vote for some puiticular ticket.
Rights invaded and trampled upon. —This means
sometimes one thing, sometimes another, but most
gonerally nothing qj all: it ij ft sort of tocsin word,
and when reason and sound argument have failed,
it has juj excellent effect before election, and
has often been known to bring in a handsome file
of voter.!. It has the greatest power when coupled
with the charge of religion and morals—things
that \y*nt take at all on such occasions.
Unity of action —A small body of men petting
together for tfr? purpose of framing a ticket for
six hundred, who know nothing of the matter,
FUmncss of purpose— Not to be cajoled by a
ticket that makes no other pretension to support,
than honesty and capacity.
Ivtcrfering with City Election —ruhlbhing a
list of fourteen §?kuowledged independent, moral,
ami upright roen. am! offering it to tho public for
their suffrages, a month or so before election.
Trampling in the dost the free, and independent
rights of cur fellow citizens —Another excellent
bujrbear sentence: it has no meaning or applica
tion as generally used, but nevertheless has a
sir ng effect, and acts like cantharidcs on the
body politic It may be successful, thrown into
‘he arena of jmjiyical contost, and never fails of
stirring up a delightful alarm among those who
know not what to make of it.
nictating rales— Submitting names of people
•n the public prints, for the mature consideration
of the community, and recommending them as
worthy of support.
To combine united power. —Her© my friend
confosscd himself utterly at a l*>ss. He said it
\va3 anew and exquisite turn of expression, just
oomo out., and l*e believed for the first time in
‘hia-worlti, in a lata p 4Uical jeu d’osprit.
IJo y and sanctimonious men cramming things ,
right or wrong, down people's throats. —This is
supposed to touch a certain committee of simple
honest people, who have foolishly tried to have
the Sabbath day kept in Savannah: But it wont
do; the nge is too enlightened—tho £?oplo are
free.
A redeeming spirit —Whether this means
brandy, or whiskey, is rather uncertain ; but al
cohol in some is ce;taii;ly implied. It is
often invoked with wonderful effect at j,hc con
clusion of a finished and classical appeal to a peo
ple who are in imminent danger of being subdued
! by sobriety, trampled upon by good order, and
humbugged by fair play and open dealing.
Morality ajid rtltgion in their proper places. —
■This, is one of those obscure, though oomnfcon
phrases, that my friend docs not know what to do
with. lie ralhor thinks, however, that proper
frequently means no place , and so he has
set it down in his glossary.
Jf friend to liberal prim iples —one whose re
miniscences are of so delicate a character, that an
attempt to elect Aldermen brings to his mind the
melancholy fable of tho Fox without a tail—one
, who lias such a profound respect for the Holy
Sabbath, that he will vote for no person wliq 1;q
1 suspects of the audacious determination to keep it
inviolate —one who protests publicly against such
a barefaced piece of knavery as shutting up shops
on tho Sabbath, one who spies mischief to the
community in every simple citizen, who like
f ivihs, should be so unwary as to venture com
mendations of honest worth and acknowledged in
! tegrity.
i I wish you to take notice, Mr. Editor, that I
don't vouch for tho coi redness of any of these
definitions. They may be right, or may be wrong.
I give you my authority for them—-I am myself a
plain, harmless man, and a little ignorant withal,
; but would fain keep out of harm's way.
Your? truly. POP—POP.

JVctp Legal Queston. —The trial of John
M j;i for the murder of Reuben Gales,
which lately took place in Frankfort Ken
tucky, has pioseuted a legal point which is
certainly new to is, and we are mistaken
if it is not so to the profession generally.
In tite course of the trial, the deposition
of lio deceased was offered in evidence as
his dying declaratiun, it being proved that
lie did not beijevc in a futm e state of re
wards and punishments. The deposition
was rejected. Upon n flection we think the
derision correct, though it startled us at
first.— Ii js a settled principle iff practice
in crimitiu! jurisprudence, to admit as evi
dence, the declarations of a dying person
as the f.-*cts of his own killing, when
those de HrsUions nre made under tlm tup
pression of the declarant himself that he is
dying , and for good leasons: because upon
the supposition that the dying person he-
Sioves in the great realities ol an hereafter,
no is under iho strong 1 s possible sanctions
f adhnranee to the frith, aud all motive or
iesire to act otherwise is destroyed. There

Latest from Rio de Janeiro and Buenos

port from Rio de Joaeiro, sailed from that
capital* on the morning of the 6th July, to
which date the editors of the American

the restilt of the war stiil remained in the

EXPEDITION TO EGYPT
LETTER OF M. CHAMPULION.
Jesa.wdoul 12th Jan. 1829.
1 haye paid a second vtsit to these im
mense statues, worthy, in everv sense of
ihe word, of the most magnificent excava
tiou of Nubia. They appeared to me just
as beautiful to the eye, and aS exquisite in
workmanship as the first time, and I regret
exceedingly that 1 am not furnished with a
magic lamp, in order to transport them to
the palace of Louis X\ 1. for the purpose
of convincing at a single glance the dtfri ac
tors of Egyptian art. Here every thing is
collossal, stupendous, not even excepting
the labour that we ourselves have underta
ken, the result of which will lay claim to
public attention. Those who are acquaint
ed *yith the localiiity s must be aware of the
difficulpes that one lias so oyercurae in co-
PJ* n g wen a single hieroglyphic in the
temple.
On the first of the month I left Ouadj-
Halifax and the 2d cataract. We slept at
Qharbi-Serre, and the next day, about
noon, I landed on the right bauk of the £)ile
with the vifcvv of studying the excavations
of Maschakii, situate a little south of the
temple of Thot at Ghebel-Addeh, of which
1 said something in my last letter* we were
obliged to climb a rock almost perpendicu
lar, tapering eff to a peak upon the Nile,
to get to a small room dug in the mountain,
and ornamented with sculpture in a very
damaged state. T succeeded, however, in
qsccr/aining it tolie a chapel dedicated to
the goddess Anoujus, (Vesta) and to ihe
other protecting deities of Nubia, by an
Ethiopian Prince called Polri, who as Go
vernor of Nubia, in ihe reigu of Phamses
the Great, is in the act of supplicating the
goddess to permit the conqueror to trample
{lie Lybians and the Nomades for ever
under his sandals.
On the morning of the 3d, we anchored
oi;r vessels directly in front of tho temple
of Hailior at Ibsumboul. I have already
this pretty temple in a note ; but I
will add that on its right there is, sculptur
ed oil the rock, a very large picture, in
which an pthiopean Prince is represetUcd
irj Jhe act of presenting king Rhamses the
Great, nith the emblem of victory, (this
ejnbiem is the usual distinction of princes
or sons of kings,) with this legend in fine
hieroglyphical characters “The Royal
son of Ethiopia said : “Thy father, Amon-
Ba has gifted.thee, O, Rhdm#es ! with a
•tabfp pur© ; may k (rant.
that thy days may be long, to govern the
world, aud keep the Lybians in perpetual
subjection.**,. ,
It appears iliac*, that, from time to time,
the Nomades Jr Africa were in the habit
of annoying the peaceable cultivators of the
vallies of the Nile. It is somewhat remar
kable that hitherto I have only foupd, op
the monuments, the names of Eihiopeun
an*d Nubian princes, as Governors of tjie
country during the reign of Rhamses the
Gioal aud his dynasty. It appears also,
that Nubia was so firmly united to Egypt,
that the kings .confided the command oj
their troops to men of the country. In
proof of which I can cite a stele sculptured
on the rocks of Ibsamboui, and ou which a
person named, “Mai, commandant of the
troops of the king of Nubia, and born in the
country of Ouaou, (one of the cantons of
Nubia,) sings the praises of the pharaoh
Mandouei I.” fourth successor of Rhamses
the Great, well authenticated ; we have,
moreover, ascertained from several other
that many Ethiopean princes were
employed jp Nubia by the heroes of E
gyp*- . ’
On th 3d, in the evening, our labours at
Ibsamboui commenced ; the first thing was
to explore the grand temple covered with
large and beauiiful bas-reliefs. Qur inten
tion is to jiave large colored designs of all
the bas-reliefs which decorate the grand
saloon of the temple, the other subjects be
ing of a religious character ; and when you
have learned that the heat which we expe
rience in the temple, now subterraneous,
(because the sands have now nearly co
vered the facade,) is comparable to that of
a hot Turkish bath, when jou have learned
that we have to enter it almost naked, that
the body is continually running with copi
ous discharges of persplratjoq, which runs
oyer ot# eyes drops on the paper already
saturated with the humid heat of the atmos
phere heated as in ah autoclave, you will
no doubt admire the courage of our young
artists, who brave this furnace for two or
three hours every day, never leave it but
through exhaustion, and only quit work
wh**n their legs are no longer able to sup
port them.
To day, the 12th, our plan is almost ac
complished : we have already completed
six large pictures representing :
Ist. Rhamses the Great in his chariot,
the horses at full gallop, followed by threo
of his sons mounted also on chariots of
war; he is in the act of putting an Assyrian
army to flight, and besieging a fortified
town.
2J. The king, on font, has jest prostra
ted a hostde chief, and now in the act of
piercing a second with a lance. Tho de
sign and composition of this group are ad
mirable.
3;l. The king is seated in the midst of
his chiefs of the army ; somebody is come
to announce to him that the enemy is attac
king his army. They are preparing the
chariot of the king, servants ro holding tho
fiery steeds, designed here as elsewhere in
the highest st>le of petfectioD. Further
on is seen the attack of the enemy, mount
ed on chariots of war, sighing without rc
g;tid to order, a lino of Egyptian chariots,
drawn up in order of battle. This part of
ihe picture is full of pathos ; it is compar
ably to the finest battle painted on Grecian
vases, which tlu*se pic lures involuntarily call
to our recollection.
4. The trumpffof the king, and Iffs so
lemo entrance ( it Thebes no doubt) erect
i.i his supe.b drawn by horses at a foot
pqce, richiy caparisoned. In front of thq
car, there are two ranks of African prison
ers, some of the negro race, and others of
the $ rrabra race, forming groups admirably
designed and full of ( fleet.

entire copy ol the original stele placed
tween the two last collossal statues on the
left in the interior of the grand temple ; it
lias no less than 32 lines : it is that of which
our friend Ifuyol spoke to me,and which I
found ip the very same spot ; it is nothing
less than a decree of ihe god Phtlta, in f lV or
of Rhamses the Great, on whom be lavishes
Ins praises for his toils aud benefits towards
Egypt ; then follows the reply to* the god in
let ms just as pofTte. This monument is
very curious, ii is one sui generis.
So much for our memora-ble campaign of
I bsamboui, the most painful and at the same
time the nipgt glorious that we could pet form
during the voyage. Our French and Tus.

zeal, and devotion, and I hopo that about

turn to Egypt with tho historical booty that
we have collected. On my arrival hero

I trust that the vapour oaths which I took
in the temple, have delivered nip from it
for fl long time. As yet I have received
