When I had ne.nly recovered mv
health, my father complied with my re
quest, and gave mo a circumstantial ac
count pf wliat passed during my illness.
You may remember,” said he, “the
time when yon so rashly leaped into the
river ;—we succeeded with difficulty, oc-
casieHVv) by your strutnrles% to release
vuursetf, in bringing you to the shore. I
■cannot e^oress the grief we felt, wheli we
found that you were totally unconscious of
what you werti u?hi£, end raving in the
most furious and intii'ijerent manner. To
endeavor to portray our feelings, on see
ing you in such a melancholy situation,
would be .as vain, as unnecessary ; suffice j
it to say we* watched, with parental an.Tic- j
ly at your bed side, every alteration, in 4
the syrnpto ms of your malady.
“ Three long and sorrowing montits j
were thus j mssed, without a solitary ray
of intelligeiu'fl, to cheer the gloom of our :
despair. Irxvteud of being consoled by !
the prospect of improvement, our fears ;
were continu illy increasing, for the event. j
How often, when we called upon your
name, in the most endearing manner,
were we ansa rered by the vacant stare of
the maniac, < »r bv your loud ravings. We
watched, \v ith tearful eyes and aching-
hearts, by y dUr side, and when we endea
vored to soi ith your sufferings, you on-
1-y replied in sudden exclamations of!
tiurror, utL ired with startling violence.— j
Sometimes, w ith all the vehement fury j
of distracth hi, your eyes lolling wildly j
-around, you t would call for revenge for j
George’s Id mod, upon the vile defamer of
Cecilia. 1 ’hen you would pounce furi
ously upon the nearest object, and af
ter the m. »st convulsive struggles, re
lease yotirg rasp with apparent satisfaction,
*uid erv ou t *‘ Thank G >d, (he villian,
lie coward is dead; yes Dugalt is dead.”
A sudden and overpowering recollection
%-ould seen ) tn-flash across your mind,and
m the most distressing manner, you would
firs - declare - * that you had mistaken George
for Dugalt, and that you had murdered
George. T .11 short, the death oLGeorge
■was the o oly thing on which you dwelt
with any < iegree of constancy, and this
dreadful su’ Diect retained its empire, whilst
every thing else passed too quickly thro’
your mind, to produce any other than a
^faint and in runentarv impression.
“You were gradually sinking under
frequent co avulions, and we thought that
-each day w >nld be ymjf last. From the
unusual debility and composure that suc
ceeded one 1 )f your most violent paroxisms,
we were leal to expect some change in
your situation. Our hopes, that it would
he a favorable one, were almost lost in our
fears that it would be for the worse ; we.
wee surprised to hear vour voice in a
more composed and rational tone, than we
iiad bea'al for a long, long time. What
was our joyful surprise, when we discov
ered that your insanity was gone, and that
our so i was once more capable of appre
ciating (he attentions and love of his pa
rents.
“ Cecilia, too, since the fatal day of her
brother’s death, has been devoid- of rea
son. But instead of partaking of the
dreadful furv and violencd with which von
were afflicted, she lias remained as passive
and quiet as a lamb. Oh ! it is sufficient
to melt the hardest heart, to see the poor,
dear creature moving so listlessly about
the house. While the corse of her be
loved brother lay in the house, she seemed
conscious on’v of its presence. Every
morning, she called the loveliest flowers
to deck his me)a iclio!v pall, and during
the livelong d tv, would seat herself by i's
side to preterv.e uninterrupted vigils. If
anv one entered the room, sh° either en
tirely disregarded their presence, or a ;
quick look, with a warning to ihem not j
to disui b the renose of her brother, was :
tIsp only iutimvi-m of her consciousness
of their approach. Like a tender mother j
ever her sleeping infant, she watched '
with continual solicitude, to prevent the
leas* 'nterruption of his repose, who now J
slept, too imperturbably, forever. If any i
thiu? fora moment diverted her attention !
she was impatient *o -resume her accus-
all their countenances the deepest sorrow
was imprinted, and as they seated them
selves with solemn air, not the least noise
was heard, except the occasional half sup
pressed sigh : all were absorbed in the
melancholy of their own reflections.—
What a scene was here. In the centre of
the room was laid the corse, so lately the
habitation of genius, intelligence and viva- j ture
city—of all that was noble, generous and j picted
good. The heart was now cold and still,
that once beat with animating impulse,
when wanned by feelings of magnanimity,
anu quickened its pulsations, as the tear
of sympathy fell from his eye, or as the
sweet thrill of love and affection ran in
genial currents to his elevated soul. The
eye which beamed with the lively scintil
lations of innate genius, which pierced and
reproved, with a glance, the bold intru
sions of unwelcome forwardness, which
lightened with pleasure in prosperity, with
dignity in adversity, with delight in love,
that eye was closed forever in death.—
The well marked features of his expres
sive countenance, retained much of their
intelligent appearance, but their immova
ble rigidity told, too truly, that it was no
longer the look of youth and happiness.—
The limbs, graceful as Apollos’, now de
void of activity, formed the last feature of
that melancholy distinction, that striking,
startling contrast, between lifeand death—
between the animation, agility and intel
ligence of youth, in full possession of
health and happiness, and the cold chilling
j .aspect of the same youth, suddenly cut off
| in the midst of his most heartfelt enjoy-
I ments.
I “ But when wo contemplate the sudden
} stop to the efforts of such a mind; the
j golden visions of the future, vanishing at
i once and forever ; the disappointed hopes
| and ambition ; the loss to his friends and
; to society ; the picture becomes too affect
ing. The knowledge, however, that his
noble soul, though unexpectedly called a-
wav, was always ready to undergo even
the close scrutiny of heaven and its ma-
kar, soothed in some degree the gloomy
scene. Alas ! the cold inanimate clay,
which was the unconscious cause of re
gret, to so manv.friends ; which occasion
ed so many melancholy reflections and
heart rending sighs, was all that remained
of wliat‘was once called George Renliu-
son, and his better part, that intellectual
spark of heavenly flame, whch animated
and enriched this earthly habitation, had
now left it forever.
“ But who is the thin, pale figure that
stands so still and calm, at the head of the
corse. So slight are the almost imper
ceptible symptoms of animation, which
linger in her lovely countenance, that one
would readily believe she was some visit
ant, from tho world of heavenly spirits,
sent down to guard tho remains on earth,
of him who was now resting, in glory and
happiness, in heaven. So calm, so com
posed was her air, that her appearance
impressed the beholders with ns much
awe, as the remains of her brother, all
were painfully sensible of her presence,
but Cecilia was entirely wrapped up in
her attentions to her deceased George.—
She saw not, she heeded not the assemb
ling crowd : when, at intervals she looked
with a smile which betrayed more un
feigned grief, than floods of tears upon his
pallid features, her countenance would be
lighted up, for a momont, with a bright
ray of intelligence—a ray, however, as
evanescent as it was bright.
“ For a long time the necessary pre
parations for removing the body were de
ferred, for fear of disturbing the being
that stood, so like the fairest statue, near
it, and in the hope, that she might be in
duced to leave the room. But she could
not be enticed away, and continued faith
ful to her trust. At last, when it could no
longer be delayed, her mother led her
gently from the room, and although she
wen*, with evident reluctance, she made
not the slightest resistance. She was then
detained from witnessing the further pre
parations, and as it was desirable that she
should be kept ignorant of tho absence of
the body, until her attention could he di
verted in some other channel, she was not
to attend the funeral.
“ The procession moved forward : Mr.
and Mrs. Reminson, with the long train
of their mourning friends, proceeded in
sorrow and in silence to the cemetery;
for .although not an eve was drv, nor a
heart was there, not filled to overflowing
with anguish, vet speh wasplie impressive
solemnity of their grief, that any external
or noisy exhibition of it, would have ap
peared intrusive and misplaced. Even
the steps of the followers of the corpse
were so light, that not the slightest sound
came to their ears, except the suppressed
breathings of those nearest them.
“ The procession has arrived—the bo
dy is laid along the side of the grave
might be restored to reason and to
fkeir friends. The low and general amen
rung in solemn accents through the crowd,
and now all eyes were, with common im
pulse, directed to the corse and its com
panions. But, when the serene counte
nances of Cecilia and Francis- met their
u preseutifnent ot other attachments be
sides his peaceful studies. Every one
here that knew him, ('for there is not an
old inhabitant of the place whose memory
is not as fresh as ifhe had seen him the
the day before) agrees in acknowledging
that he was gloomy, silent, and proud, not
mingling with others of equal terms, but on
those of superiotitv, and quitting them
when they were sensible that, at that mo- j rana,as they here express it or as and im-
metit, there was a slight, an intrusive and j perial flatterer would say—a head born to
unaccustomed gleam of intelligence, a
thrill, like that which chills the blood and
agitates the nerves of those who think j‘ces that surround it,

the gaze of the spectators, who were all
suspended in fearful awe.
“At length they joined their hands a-
cross the body, and laid them upon the
marble brow of the dead, for the coffin
was not yet closed, and then with united
voice spoke. “ De$r George !-—dear
brother, farewell, farewell.” Again, as
if actuated by the same mind, they folded
their arms on their breasts, leaned for

countenance of tho dead, with fixed in

bear the most unequivocal testimony to the
deep impression it made on their minds.
It is universally regarded as a mystery,
and never spoKen of in the village, without
betraying more of their feelings than they
would willingly expose. The solemnity
of the scene, the thrill of astonishment

an impression of the deepest and most
lasting character, and even now I cannot

From late London Papers.
BONAPARTE.
The following interesting particulars
respecting the early days and habits of
Napoleon, are translated from one of Le
Globe, a French and philosophical and
literary journal :—
It is necessary , in the first place, to
mention that every Corsican, with few
exceptions, styles himself a relation of Bo
naparte’s, even the humblest tenant of a
cottage, or a simple shepherd, calls him
self cousin to the ex-Emperor, and while
eating his little loaf of gronnd chesnuts,
state with complacency what he might
have been if he„had been willing to give
himself the trouble of waiting at the levee
of his illustrious cousin; and presenting
his sun burnt visage at his court. With
respect to those who do not claim the hon
ors of alliance with the imperial family,
they console themselves by telling you,
that in their village there are ten men be
sides themselves, who would each have
been a Nepoleon, if fortune had equally*
favored him, though they all cultivated
their native clods for want of better em
ployment. Estato feliee, said a shepherd
to me, speaking of that great man, and I
could easily guess his further meaning;
good fortune, he thought was wanting to
many others as well as himslf.
However presumptious such notions
may appear in a stranger, they are not
destitute of foundation; and the same
ambition which impelled die golhered of
Bastelica, Sampeiro, to the court of Hen
ry, 11. the moss dealer of Oargere to that
of Louis XVI. and- the school boy of Bri
tan no to tho throne of France, and-neariv
of the world, still lurks in the molds of
those whom so many briliant examples have
seduced. Every one here wishes to rise,
even at the hazzard of a dismal downfall;
and yet nothing is more painful than this
restlessness of imagination—this grasping
ambition—which wastes its energy with
out an object, and without any prospect
of success, in a poor and unemployed
community. There^s no commerce in
Corsica, and the want of capital is not
perhaps the only cause of this deficiency.
A nation of gentleman will not descend
to petty traffic, and debase itself so far
as to become rich.
: Is not the entire man evident in these few
j words ?
j In the year 1794, at that momentous
; crisis, when, in the midst of anarchy with*
| in, and victory without, the piercing eye
i of Genius beheld the germ of despositism,
, young Napoleon wrote to his grand uncle
I Luciano, the Archdeacon, along letter, in
whi h be betrayed a glimpse of his ambi
tious hopes, under the most guarded ex
pressions, I could not obtain leave to co
py it, for every housekeeper here posses
ses t eaturesof this kind, of which they are
jealous in proportion to their value. The
following phrase, however, struck my at
tention : “ Be not uneasy about your ne
phews, they will know how to make their
way."
1 have now in my possession four of
these letters, copied from the originals ;
they are of different dates, and they dis
play the character of the Student of Bri-
enne, as well as the future Emperor of
the French. They are all addressed to
his mother, or his relations, and we discern
in them, in the midst of the respectful style
of the Ancient Regime, a constant Inclina
tion towards those gentle affections, which
Bonapart has been frequently accused of
not feeling. The memorial of St. Ilelna
has sufficiently cleared.him from this re
proach, and even in that, as well as in his
letter, it is pleasing to witness the emo
tion of the heart, in a man covered with
the trapping of an Emperor, or clad in the
gray surtout of a soldier. Our attention
is also struck by the frequent recurrence
of religion, with which Italian habits, and
a warm southern imagination, had sur
rounded his early infancy.
Thus, what was frequently taken for
the language of command in the Imperial
Decrees, is explained by those early im-
presssons which recur with so much facil
ity, are eradicated with so much difficul
ty. Religious, from habit, and despotic
by nature, lie exhibited both these symp
toms at once, by re-establishing in France
Catholicism, the religion of despotism.—
But it was also the religion of his child
hood ; and this secret motive, which is
overlooked by the author of the Memoires
sur le Consulat, among those that derided
his conduct, is not less powerful for its not
being openly avowed. But, in this in
stance, the instinct of religion may have
co-operated with the instinct of despotism.
Besides, if I am not mistaken, conquer
ors must, more than other men, believe
in the existence of a Supreme Being,
as they are always the creatures of cir
cumstances even when they think them-
| selves the martyrs of them ; when others
j behold their powers, they themselves feel
j their influence ; and the winter of Moscow
was a terrible argument in favor of God,
i to one who believed himself almost a God.

“ The day of burial arrived—-the mourn-
of them seemed unconscious of every
thing, except the presence of the body,
which they regarded steadfastly with so

was born. I beheld, with the most heart
felt interest, the row of trees before the
house, where he practised his little war
like sports, and the little iron cannon, his
favourite play thing, which in him dis
played the germ of that military ardour,
which, at the .siege of Toulon, made of
him a commander of artillery, and at the
battle of Areola one of the greatest gene
rals of the world. I sauntered in the gar
dens of the Bonaperte family with that
sensation of serious sensibility which is
felt at the remembrance of the infancy of
a great man, and I seated myself in a

Valuable Instruction.—We have sel
dom met withapieceof mechauism which
pleased us so much as a “ vertical paddle
wheel” invented by a resident of this city
named James M’Kell. Ii has long been
a desideratum in steam-boat navigation, to
avoid the lift of water as the paddles of
the wheels emerge from it, which not only
causes a great loss of power, but produces
tho shock and tremulous motion so disa
greeable to the passengers. It appears to
us that the ingenious inventor of the above
mentioned wheel, has
ceeded in his object, by so arranging the
flappers or paddles, as to cause them
always to retain their vertical position, as
well in entering as comingout of the water.
This eflect is produced by the connexion
of two sets ot bars, forming one wheel,
which revolved around different centres,
and are connected by moving axle, so
fixed as to retain its angle with the hor
izon. The paddles, or pieces which take
hold on the water, are fastened to the ends
of the bars at the corners obliquely oppo
site to each other, or in other words, say,
they are in shape of a parallelogram, the
diagonal line forms their axis ; thus per
mitting the bars or arms of the wheel to
revolve, whilst they retain their vertical
position. We have not had the pleasure
of seeing the inventor, but are induced by
the interest we feel in the advancement of
the arts in our city, to take this opportuni-
of calling public attention to the modle,
which may be seen in the reading room at
the Exchange. We understand that Mr.
M’Kell has been for many years engaged
in the foundry of Messrs. Watchman and
Brett, and has produced many useful in
ventions. We wish him a full share of the
patronage he so justly merits.

LATEST FROM EUROPE.
The packet ship Leeds, Capt. Stod
dard, from Liverpool, arrived at this port
on Saturday evening, has brought us Lon- j
don and Liverpool papers to the 24th and !
25th of last month, eight days later than j
our formor advices ; but they contain no j
news of any moment !
In England the arrangement for the j
fotmation of the new ministry had Dot;
been entirely completed, and would not j Qjj mer
be, it was thought, until tho return of Mr. {
Huskinson from the continent. They
were going on, however, and would, doubt
less, be finished without difficulty in good
season. In the moan lime, the Duke of |
Wellington had returned to his pest as j
Commander in Chief of the Aimy, and, j
though he had not resumed his place in the J
cabinet, was very naturaily understood to ;
have left the opposition. Indeed it would ?
seem that the new ministry was decidedly
popular, and the Times declares, very
warmly, that “ every thought, feeling, |
and distinction of party has vanished from j
among us,”—and though some allowance i
most be made for exaggeration, it is,doubt- I
less substantially true.
No official answer has been recieved
liom the Sublime Porte, to the proposals i
of the allies, for the pacification of Greece, j
but it Was expected in a short time.
The affairs of Fiance, Spain, Portugal,'
and other European powers, continued to
be pretty much as they were at the date
of our previous advices.
The Emperor of Russia has ratified the | Gilme
Treaty for the pacification of Greece, en
tered into by Russia, France and England.
The accounts from Constantinople arc
to the 10th of July. The Ministers of the
Allied Powers held frequent couferrences
and couriers were daily coining and going.
Reports were circulated there that an En
glish squadron \j ith a large body of troops
was to proceed to the Mediterranean.
The London S^of the 22d uh says—
“We anderstand it is expected advices f
will reach town before the end of the pre- ;
sent week from Constantinople, which will j
bring accounts of the way in which the j
Divan has received the Treaty for the
pacification of Greece, Apprehensions
are entertained that an explosion of some
sort would take place in Constantinople on
the receipt of that Treaty.”
Mr. Canning, it seems, has according
to the London papers died poor ; his pro
perty is sworn tinder 125,000. though lie
was economical in his habits. It was sup
posed that some mirk of public gratitude
would be bestowed on his children, if
they were in a condition to need it.

MOBILE, SEPT. 15.
Mexican Squadron.—On Saturday last
we stated on the authority of Capt. Fisher,
who spoke one of Commodore Porter’s
vessels bound to Pensacola, that the Mex
ican Squadron had been 01 dered to leave
Key West by the Collector. Commodore
Porter arrived here on Sunday, from whom
we received the following note, correcting ;
the error which lie believed had crept into j
our paper.
“ Com. Porter presents his respects to j
the Editor, of the Mobile Com. Regis- I
ter, and begs leave to correct an error which
has crept into his paper of the Sth, res
pecting the Mexican Squadron. Com.
Porter assures the Editor of (he Register
that the Squadron left Key West for Pen
sacola in consequence of orders which he
himself gave to that effect, & solely for the
purpose of relieving the government of the
United States from any embarrasments
it might feel itself under from remaining
longer there.
“There is not the least reason to believe
that the squadron was ordered from there
by the collector.
“ Plabile, Sunday. 9th Sept. 1827.”
[The editor of the Mobile Register, states
that the above information was received
from one of Com. Porter’s officeis.]

We are much astonished at the noise
which the Jackson papers of this city are
making about disposition of public printing.
Do they not expect favours from those
whom they particularly sustain?and do
they not receive those favours? They may
discover something wrong in these things,
completely sue- i but they should carefully avoid any public
reference thereto. If it is wrong to give
to one paper patronage because it advo
cates the measures of existing officers, with
what face is it threatened that another di
rection shall be given to the patronage,
when other men attain the eminence that
has the power of conferring favours. If it
is wrong to change now will it be right to
change hereafter? What one of these pa
pers, thus complaining, have not fattened
on patronage thus acquired? and which one
of them does not look for an accession of
it in a change of rulers? Let those who
set the example of change, and who look Reps.
to benefits from future mutations, make
no more Jeremiads upon the occasion, un-

Dr. Franklin.—While at the conrt of
France this practical philosepher proved
himself tob*e a little of the courtier. Be
ing one day in the gardens of Versalies,
shewing the queen some electrical experi
ments, she asked him, in a fit of raillery,
ifhe did not dread the fate of Prometheus
who was so severely served for stealing
fire from Heaven? “Yes please your
Majesty, (replied Franklin, with great
gallantry,) if I did not behold a pair of
eyes this moment, which have stole infin
itely more fire from Jove than ever I did,
passed unpunished, though they do more
mischief in a week than I have done in
all my experiments.”
A Bull.—The New York Enquirer
says, that the ‘people are every w here
coming out for Jackson, and the lead

case, then Gen. Jackson will be elected
first—after all. V. S. Gazette.
