( Continued.) 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, themselves in the presence of an inhabit- j a small fortress, called - Fortino. ! reign j Above the town, on one of the eminen- there are the ruins of If M’Tvrc Mealing Holt ant of another world, pervade 1 the con- had but 400 livers a year (Bonaparte said gre&atron. and they shrunk involuntarily from the spectacle.

It is a desert spot.” “Yes! but I should then command the whole town.”— aronud, gave additional and peculiar in terest to the two beings who heeded not 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 ward, and togotlier regarded the livid countenance of tho dead, with fixed in terest; they stood up, joined their hands, and once more, laying them on his fore head, uttered the solemn farewell; then deceased touted oostii-'e, leaning partially over the j where i l is destined to moulder and decay, corpse, and regarding it with the most af- i The village pastor has read with reveren- fectin-ure and me ancholv interest.

But the agitated voice and tho doubtful look of every one, who witnessed the extraordinary scene, will 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 that then pervaded my frame, has maue an impression of the deepest and most lasting character, and even now I cannot think of it, without a recurrence of the same sensations. I must regard it as an omen of the future ; that hereafter you three will meet in the holy bonds of friendship and love, never more to be se parated, but to enjoy limited and eternal happiness. God grant that this may'at length occur.” [ 77? be continued.] 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. Gilmer wford Smith "Wade Lanier Brvan Was not always thus; I can remember when George was kind; then he would speak to his sister ; then he would listen to her words, and Francis too would join us and we were happy. Bat now, l talk to mv brother and he answers me n«»t.— Oh ! George, will you never rise and speak and listen to vour once a father and a moth However it is about NapoleoH that I wished to address you, and not about his j ing address that causes the hearts of the j country, for you must have been surprised say, “ it j hearers to vibrate in such holy unison, is] at me, since I have sojourned so long in about to be concluded, by imploring di vine blessings on the friends of the-de ceased ; the dust is now .“.to return to the earth and the spirit to the God that gave it,” when a most unexpected interruption occurred.

I have visited the family house at Ajac cio, and entered the chamber in which he 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 grotto formed by the junction of two enor mous rocks, were the young scholar me 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. Balt.

York Journal of commerit, SepUt*. 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. —QQ&— 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.

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- less'they are prepared to show their disin terestedness by forswearing all participa tion in exclusive favors of the kind.
