uily promote the interests of all parties, and relieve the United Slates and States from the unpleasant collisions of interest and jurisdiction, which not only now exist to a great extent, but are likely to in crease. The plan of sending them in mass be yond the Mississippi, we never approved, but inmost instances it could not be oth erwise arranged, and no doubt many are so attached to Indian life, to its wild inde pendence and uncultivated liberty, that t j,ev would stretch Their journey to the Pacific, rather than at home, assume, in al.\ forms, the gjlrb of civilized man.— Emigration is putting off the evil day ; it is only a temporary expedient. It will be better for us to act at once, with what lit tle humanity of feeiing policy has left us, and persuade them to become citizens of the respective States, with the rights and immunities of civilized freemen. If we send them to our unoccupied territory west of Arkansas at this time, it will not be very long before we shall have to re move them again, or adopt the plan above suggested ; for the flood of our population sets westwardly with an increasing tide, which promises to cover the continent with a dense population of freemen.

H:s anx iety was afterwards relieved by my mes senger, whom he immediately followed to fly to my assistance. “ While Morano and I were discours ing upon the words of the magician Ri- manez, the strange reports circulated about the eastern range of the apartments, and the favorable opinion we seemed to hold in the minds of Algouah ? stwo daugh ters, old Vestola entered the room. Mo rano had just pulled out the portrait to gaze on it; which he presented to the old steward, and asked him if he had any knowledge of the features. “ Know it!” exclaimed he, as the tears fell down his cheeks; “ why it is the very likeness of Lady Juliana, my Lady Amaranta’s mo ther, whose portrait is in the picture galle ry. Twill shew them to you, Senor, but we must tread very secretly.” “ I should like to see my aunt, Lady Cleona,” ex claimed Morano: “ I am of tho family of the Pinatos, and nephew to Algonah.” “ The old man then conducted Morano through some windings to the gloomy gal lery, at the end of which hung two por traits. “ This to the right,” said Vestola, “ is Algonah’s first wife; she died very i young, and it is reported of a suret.— may, at the period to which we allude, : This is Lady Cleona, his second wife— find more difficulties than environ the sub- J she died too ; but, Senor, a close tongue, ject at present. 1. would be, IberelVe, j *>*“ hcad -” much the most adv.sable to embrace the j tQ the wise ig su ff lcient » In the mean present moment, and persuade them at j time he had unfolded the dagger, and pi e- oncc to throw off more completely the : sented it to Vestola, who started at the garb of savage man, and appear in the i s ‘ght, and asked where he had obtained it. This dagger,” replied Morano, “ I found in the castle of Montillo, in a Moor ish habit, clotted with blood: now dare you trust me with your confidence?” “ Listen then, and I will be briefsaid the old steward. “ Of the death of Lady Juliana I know nothing certain, as I lived at that time with my Lady Cleona in Grenada. I had a sister named Lucilla, who was waiting maid to Lady Juliana, and lived with her in the castle. Don Algonah, since their return from New Spain, became jealous of her; and Phil lip’s persecutions breaking out, he was frequently absent for a long time togeth er—no one knows where. One night he suddenly arrived in very good humour, and supped with my lady off an elegant entertainment he had ordered. Now, Se nor, whatever was the cause, she died the same night. Thp body afterwards laid instate; and though Don Algonah re marked to every one that she was little changed by death, it dtd not quite silence suspicion. On the fourth day the coffin was screwed down, and interredfin the chapel vaults, under the castle. . Now, Senor, comes a very odd circumstance: my sister Lucilla, half distracted for the loss of her mistress, wanderfed about one night after putting the little dementia to bed, till she came to the chamber where Juliana used to sleep when Algonah was absent. The door stood ajar, and she pushed it open, there she beheld the figure of her late mistress kneeling, at the foot of a table before a crucifix. While Lu cilla stood immoveable with terror, Don Algonah seized her, and carried her into her chamber, where she related this cir cumstance to me; since which time I have never heard any thing of her,” Dread ful suspicions awaits on Algonah ! said Morano: “but now my old friend, let us turn to the picture which resembles this miniature.” “Hark!” said Vestola: “ was that a footstep ? Senor* let us sep arate: I will meet you in your apartment .at twelve !” Morano, after having gazed a moment on the picture of Lady Cleona, returned to inform me of the conversation with the steward; and, big with expecta tion, we counted the tedious hours, till his rap at the door announced that all was secure. “ After a cheerful glass or two of wine, Vestola began ; “ Lady Cleona was of Moorish lineage, but married early in life to Count Alvarez, by whom she had a daughter. They lived at the once beau tiful castl^ on the hanks of the Darro.— Don Algonah was the friend of the Count, notwithstanding which he fell in love with his lady: now, when the edict of Phillip exiled and ruined the Moorish families, Don Algonah came one night with two soldiers; and Don Alvarez set out for the castle of Montillo, as a place of safety, disguised in a soldier’s dress. On the road, however, my unfortunate master was murdered; and the soldiers who looked like assassins, have never been heard of since. The garb he wore has lately been found in a wood near the cas tle, torn and bloody. Don Algonah then conveyed the Countess and her daughter to Grenada, and ordered me to bring all the valuables to my master in his retreat: then it was I learned the death of Lady Juliana, and the murder of my master; the loss of my sister Lucilla quickly fol lowed. O ne night, shortly after I had re sided with the Don, I heard high words between Algonah and Barnardo, his old steward. I secreted myself, and heard his master threaten to strike him dead at his feet, enless lie quitted the castle in stantly ; “ and,” the Don added,- “ I shall send a trusty guide with you, to see that you actually return to your relations in Murcia.” • (To be continued.) habiliments, with all the privileges, of civU lization.

S0j£ AL&0X3AH, OR THE SORCERESS OF MONTILLO; A ROMANTIC TALF.. Sullen an-! sad to fancy’9 frighted eye, Did.shapes of dun and m rky dew advance. In train tumultuous, and of gesture strange, And passing horrible! CHARACTACUS. (CONTINUED.) “ In ten minutes they returned with several servants, who carried me on a lit ter of boughs to a large and magnificent Gothic structure. Here I had a chamber ■ nd a iioary-headed domestic allotted me, from whom I learned that ilie castle bore fli.- name of Montillo, and its owner was called Don Roderigp Algonah. “How strange!” I exclaimed ; “but pray is the KDoti at home?” “ No,” replied the ser vant “ be is gone to Grenada for a month, according to his annual custom, a fort night of which has elapsed. The ladies who assisted you are his daughters. Ah ! ihey would make us happy; but the cas tle, when he is present, is bir a dungeon, and he is so mad and melancholy at times. Indeed such horrid tales are told about diesis gliding along its under-ground cav erns, that they would make your hair stand an end. Indeed l have heard groans, and clashing of swords and rattling of armour in the eastern chambers, but the Don will not suffer them to be entered.” “ Pray is Don Algonah married?” “ No,” said Michael, “ but he has had two wives, and would have had a third, but the lady was afraid to venture. Now, Senor, I should like to die in my peaceful bed, you per haps in the field :—but not in the way re port speaks of them, Senor :—but I’ll sav no more, Senor, except that the old Vestola, who is gloomy and reserved as his master, knows more than any one.” “ Being overcome with sleep, I dismis sed the domestic, and enjoyed a sound re pose for two hours. When I awoke Mo rano was at my side ; his countenance had something portentous in if, as he demand ed of me if I had received news from Madrid/ “ My dear friend,” said Ij “ I have learnt my father’s death some hours since at Tolosa.” I then related the manner in which I had heard it, and the subsequent cause of my, illness. “ This,” replied Morano, “ is an extraordinary bu siness; and you and I are selected to be the instruments in it. Don Algonah, I know, is my uncle, the younger brother of my mother ; and I am Jiis sole heir if liis daughters die without issue. His first wife died when I was very young, from a suret at a feast': he immediately after, married a second wife ” “ What was the name of his first wife?” enquired I, ea gerly. “ Her name,” he replied, “ was Juliana, daughter of the then Governor of Lima.” . “ Holy powers!” I cried, she was my mother’s sister, a sister whom she has lamented as destroyed by an oarthquake with her husband, after she herself had returned to Spain, and mar ked the Marquis, my father.” “ She flight remain for ever concealed with Don Algonah,” replied Morano, “ be cause he never quits the castle. My moth er was his sister. My father died directly after his marriage, and my mother termi nated her life at the hour which gave me birth; since which I fell under the guar dianship of the Marquis Rondolos, who procured me the commission I now en joy, till l am of age to claim my father’s propenty. Respecting Don Algonah, I only know that shortly after his sister’s death, he went abroad to repair his ex travagance, and returned from our Colo nies more rich than respected. His se cond wife was a lady from Grenada, whom he married about the time of Phillip’s per secution of the Moors; and she died in iess than a twelve month, leaving a daugh- *er, the Lady Amaranta.” “ Our conversation'after this reverted to the inn at Tolosa. My friend inform ed me that he had dreamed during tny ab- ° ence » that the wounded soldier had stood tions. The demand for specie on the branch Bank of Milledgeville by that of Macon, is understood to be made with the view of coercing the former to take the bills of the latter, which the Mflledgeviile branch had been obliged to decline doing, in-consequence of the refusal of its custo mers to take the notes ofthe Macon Bank in payment of checks.—South.

COTTON—Upland from 9 to 104 cents. The Cotton from the Plantation of Governor Troup, brought 11 1-2 cents, but this is not a fair criterion of the market. CORN—52 cents. CHARLESTON. COTTON—8 to 10 cefits. In Uplands, the business is steady, and in con sequence of freights being rarely obtained, the demand is good. COR >—50 to 54 cents, cargo. NE IP-YORK, MA Y 26. COT TON—Letters of 22d April, received from Liverpool, showing extensive sales of Cotton in that market, at an advance of 1-8 sterling per lb. Uplands 5 7-Sto 7 l-4sterling. This intelligence produced considerable activity here. Sales last week 6007 bales, at 9£ to I04. FLOUR—Western Flour particularly in de mand, in consequence, of the late admission of American Flour into the Canadas to be bonded for export, from the belief that considerable quantities will be diverted from the interior into those provinces. FREIGHTS, declined from 3-4 to 7-8 owing to the arrival of 15 or 20 large freighting British ships. Several vessels gone South to take Cot- ten from Charleston and Savannah. MOBILE—Cotton 7 to 84 cents, ALEXANDRIA, (Egypt,) Jan. 30—The Go vernment here appears grossly to have misrepre sented the probabie extent of the Cotton crop, by giving out 100,000 bags, as the quantity it would render. They now report it to be equal to 220,- 000 bags, but .this cannot be relied upon, any more than their former statement; however, we can scarcely doubt, but it is more abundant than was at first named, as contracts to considerable extent (we understand 80,000 bags) have been recently made with some French Houses, to consign against advances. Marseilles, we be lieve, is to be the principal depot. There has not been a purchase made this year of any con sequence on British account, and but very little is shipping to England, on account ofthe Pacha.
