IVankee Decision. Sometime between tire years 1812 and 1813, [when considerable animosity existed between the [people and the Slates, and when some Ls the British subjects, who were “dressed with a little brief authority,” looked upon the Yankees as but little better than brutes—the following is said to have taken place at the custom house at St. Johns. The very same spirit which actuat'd the signers of the glorious Declaration of Inde pendence sixty-four years ago 4th inst., dwelt in the Seart of this honest and brave Green Moun tain boy. Here is the story. A \ ankee of considerable dimensions entered the office of the collector, and informed him that he wished to enter his load and receive a pass port. The officer cast a sarcastic look at him, and said that it was customary for people, when they entered his office to receive passports, to take off their hats, and requested him to do so instantly. “ No, I thank you,” said the Yankee, “ I paid four dollars for that hat to keep my head and ears warm. “You impertinent puppy,” says the officer, working himself into considerable of a passion, •‘how dare you insult mel Off with your hat immediately.” “No, sir, can’t doit, keeps my head proper warm.” After several orders of a similar kind accompa nied with curses and threats, which met with no belter success, he slept up to him and gave his hat a blow that sent it to the adjacent corner of the room. The Yankee paid no attention to this, but waited patiently until he had received his pass port, folded and deposited it within his wallet, and was ready to pursue his journey, when turning to the officer he requested him to pick up his hat, and put it on his head. The officer, much wroth, ordered him to leave the office or he might get ; nto trouble—for he did not often make words with men of his description. “I sav mister,” says the Yankee, “you must pick up my hat, and that in just about one min ute’s time. or feel the weight of the death mauls? shaking his fist rather nearer his lordship’s face than was pleasant. The officer raved and swore all to no effect, fiend finally threatened to cane him if he didn’t ■depart- I I After several more threats, which had the de- Hgired eliect upon hss opponent, and the time set Hbeing nearly expired, Jne sneaked off and picked Hup the hat, and offend it to its owner; but he Hwas not satisfied witlf that, and ordered him to Hplaceit on his head precisely as he found it. The llofficer hesitated, but seeing the determination of ■the Yankee, he set it upon lus head, and was a ■bout to depart, when he was collared and ordered ■to place it as he found it. f “ Here,” says the Yankee, “tuck this ear under inow the other one, pull it down a little more in Ifrunt,” See. Ail of which orders the officer re- fulfilled. “There, sir, that’s about fright,” says the Yankee, “and now,friend, before II leave I will give you a word of good advice— ■never meddle w ith a Yankee’s hat unless you are ■prepared to take a peep into futurity.—Good day, ■ sir.” Thk Stuart Family. —There is not a fami aly to be met with in the history of any country ■whose misfortunes afford so striking a proof of the ■sad vicissitudes of earthly affairs, as that of the lancient Stuart race. From the days of Walter ■ the Seneschal down to our own times, very few ■of his Royal descendants died a natural death. ■For instance: James I. of Scotland, who succeed jeiJ his lather Robert 111, after being twenty years la prisoner in England, was assassinated by his (subjects. He was captured by the English in (1404, Head, in Yorkshire, on (his passage to France, whither he was going for Ibis education. He was an excellent poet, and [the author of the King’s Quair,” a poem in six [cantos; “Christe’s Kirk of the Gaene,” and “ Fo ibles to the Play.” During his captivity in Eng- Sland he had fixed his affections on the Lady Joan, (daughter of the Earl of Somerset, whom he mar jried, and with whom he entered Scotland m 11423. This King is the subject of a chapter in ■Washington Irving’s “Sketch Book.” He was ■crowned at Scone the year following, and was Iniarde'-dd in a monastery near Perth, in 1437. ■For the fullest particulars of his death I refer the ■reader to “The Spaewife,” an excellent romance, |by the late Mr. Galt. James 11., his son, was ■killed in his twenty-ninth year at the siege of ■Roxburgh, in 1460, by the accidental bursting of la cannon, near which he was standing. James ■III, pul in pr son by his people, was either slain lia battle by the revolters, headed by his son and feuccessor, James IV., or murdered, after being Ithrown from his horse, in a precipitate flight from ■the scene of action. Sanchie Burn, his son, was laherwards seized with deep remorse, which man- Bfested itself in severe penances. I James IV. perished in an engagement with the [English at Floddenfield. James V.,the Fitz James of the ‘Lady of the Lake,’ died of a broken heart at the early age of (thirty. Mary, his daughter, was beheaded. | Charles 1., grand-son of Mary, lost his head on a scaffold. Charles If., his son and successor, suf fered many hair-breadth escapes, hardships and privations, and according to some accounts, died by poison. James 11., his brother, was driven from his kingdom, and died in exile at St. Ger mains. James Francis Edward, styled the old Preten der, son of James, invaded Scotland in 1715, but was unsuccessful in the attempt. He died at Rome, December 30, 1765. By his consort, IVhnqa, daughter of Prince Sobieski, he left two sons, one of whom was the modern Ascanius, the chivalrous adventurer of 1745, Charles Edward, styled by the adherents of the House of Flanover the young Pretender. He made a gallant but unsuccessful attempt to gain the throne of his ancestors. He died in 1788. His brother, the second son, the Cardinal York, paid the debt of nature at Rome, in 1807, aged eighty-two. OBITUA R Y. ~ this life on the 17th June last, Albert Martin, aged sixteen months ; also, on the Sth mst., James Dye, aged three years and six months, children of Milo and Emily Hatch Thus within the brief period of twenty days were these parents called to part with both their interesting boys. “I take these lambs, the Savior saith. And lay' them in mv breast; Protection they shall find in me. In me be ever blest. Death may the bands of life unloose, But can’t dissolve my love ; Millions of infants’ souls compose The Family above. Their feeble frames my power shall raise, And mould with heavenly skill • I’ll give them tongues to sing my praise. And hands to do my will.” MARINE INTELLIGENCE. Charleston, July 10.

The lady, if I m/stake not, told me they were moving from South Carolina to the western part of this State, (Georgia). If any . kind friend could give me the clue to their names, or the place to which they were travelling, so that I may obtain my valuable cloak, he would confer a favOr upon one who at times is too forgetful for his own interest.

PEDIGREE. J. R. H. Acklin, Esq. of Huntsville, Alabama, certifies as follows :— * Tom Tunstall was foaled mine on the 29th May, 1831. His dam was High land Mary .and her dam a full-blooded Archie mare; tne sire of Highland Mary was old Pacolef. Tom Tunslall was sired by old Pacific, and he by old Sir Archie. This is as far as lam able to go, tho’ I am satisfied Tom Tunstall has descended from as good a stock as any horse in the United States.— He was a race horse of the first order, but I iear will never be able to make a first rate race again, owing to his leg; it was injured when a three year old, in training, as I believe. By addressing Har dy Cryer, Gallatin, Tennessee,you can get a full pedigree of the dam of Tom Tunstall.” The same Mr. Hardy Cryer certifies thus : —“ Highland Mary combined as many or more rich crosses of thorough breds than any mare ever raised in Tennessee.— She was got by the noted horse Pacolet, the son of imported Citizen ; her dam Rosey Carey by Sir Archie; grand-dam Sally Jones by the imported horse Traveller, called Big Ben or Charleraaine, (son of O’Kelley’s Eclipse, and one of the purest importations of the last century;) great grand-dam by the imported horse Wrangler; great-great-grand dam O’Possum by imported Shark; great-great great-grand-dara by the celebrated American quar ter race horse, Goode’s old Twigg; great-great greal-great-grand-dara by imported Fearnaught; great-great-great-great-great-grand-dara by Lee’s old Mark Anthony outof a mare by imported Mon key.” On the sire’s side it is deemed unnecessary to trace beyond Sir Archie. It is presumed none will require a purer or better attested pedegree!— If farther recommendation be wanted, call and sex Tom WILLIAM HOLMES, Agent, leb 22 —trw&wti AT private sale, a handsome new Chariot, on Eliptic Springs, latest style.
