An hour had elapsed, and every ear was upon the rack for the discharge of the mus ket, when, upon a sudden, the report was heard. The guard immediately marched most anxious j Greeks around the bpdy of Patroclus, | their retreat vyill. be a*tprotr*cted defeat; 3tep after step, stript of armour and spoils till at last thp dismembered and naked car cass will be flung into the last trench of the Mussulman empire. The time is past accompanied, as before, by the colonel, j since Islamism poured her whitening tur- Singidar Aioenture of a British Soldier. In the year 1779, when the war with America was conducted with great spirit upon that continent, a division of the Brit ish army was encamped on the banks of a river, and in a position so favored bv na- I ,n y P os t» when I heard a rustling at some and some of the most experienced officers of the regiment. As they approached the post, they saw the man advancing towards them, dragging another man on the ground by the hair of the head. When they came up to him, it appeared to be an Indian whom lie had shot. An explanation was immediately required, “I told your hon or,” said the man, “that I should fire if I heard the least noise. The resolution I had taken has saved my life, and led to the discovery. I had not been iong on lure, that it was difficult for any military art to surprise it. War in America was rather a species of hunting than a regular campaign. “ If you fight with art,” said Washington tothe soldiers, “you are sure tube defeated. Acquire discipline enough for concert, and the uniformity of combined attack, and your country will prove the best of the engineers.” So true was this maxim of the American general, that the English soldiers had to contend with little else. The Americans had incorporated the Indians into their ranks, and had made • them useful in a species of war to which their habits of life had peculiarlyfitted them. They sallied out of their impenetrable for ests <tnd jungles, and, with their arrows and tomahawks, committed daily waste upon the British army, surprising their Sentinels, cutting off their stragglers, and even when the alarm was given, and pursuit com-j menced, they fled with a swiftness that (he j speed of cavalry could not overtake, into J rocks and fastnesses whither it was dan- j ger’ou.s to follow them. In male# to limit as far as possible this species of war, in which there was so-much loss and so litile honor, it was the custom with cveiy regi ment to extend its outposts to a great dis tance beyond the encampmen's ; to station sentinels* some miles rn the woods, and keep a constant guard round the main body. A regiment of foot was, at this time, stationed upon the confines of the boundless Savannah. Its particular office was to guard every avenue of approacli to the main body; the sentinels whose post penetrated into the woods, were sup plied from the ranks, and the service of _ th’s regiment was th is more hazardous than that of any other. Its loss was like wise great. The sentinels were perpe tually surprised upon their putts bv the Indians, and, what was most astonishing, they were borne off their stations without communicating anv alann, or being heard of after. Not a trace was left of the man ner in which they had been conveyed away, except that upon one 01 two occa sions, a few drops of blood had appeared upon the leaves which covered the ground. Many tmputed this unaccountable disap pearance to treachery, .and suggested, as an unanswerable argument, that the men thus surprised might at least have fired their muskets, and communicated the •alarm to the contiguous posts. Others, however, who could not be brought to consider it ns treachery, wore content to receive lias a mystery which time would explain. One morning, t’:e ■ enitels having been stationed as usual over night, the guard went at sunrise to relieve a post which extended a considerable distance into the woods. The sentinel was gone! The surprise was great; but the circumstance had occurred before. They left another man, and departed wishing him bettpr luck. “ 3 on need not be afraid,” said the man, with warmth, “ I shall not desert.” The relief-company returned to the guard house.- The sentinels were replaced every four hours, and, at the appointed time, the guard again marched to relieve the post. To their inexpressible astonishment, the man. was gone ! They searched round the post, but no traces could be found of his disappearance. It was nec°.ssarv that the station, from a stronger motive than ever, should npt remain unoccupied : they weie compelled to leave another man, and re turned, ruminating on this strange circum stance, to the guard house. The supersti tion of the soldiers Was awakened, and ter ror ran through the regiment. The colo nel being apprised of the occurrence, signi fied his intention to accompany the guard distance ; I looked, and saw an American hog, such as are common in the woods, crawling along th** ground, and seemingly looking for nuts under the trees, and a- moiig the leaves. As these animals are so very common, I ceased to consider it ful some minutes ; but being on the constant alarm and expectation of attack, and scarcely knowing what to consider a real cause of apprehension or not, I kept my eye vigilantly fixed upon it, and marked its progresss among the trees; still there was no need to give the alarm, and my thoughts were, notwithstanding, directed to danger from another quarter. It struck me, however, as somew hat singular to see the animal making, by a circuitous pas sage, for a thick coppice, immediately’be- liind my post. I therefore kept my eyes more constantly fixed upon it, when a few | yards of the copice, hesitated whether I [should not fire. My comrades,thought I, w ill laugh at me for alarming them by shooting a pig V' I had almost resolved to let it alone, when just as it approached the thicket, I thought I observed it give- an unusual spring. I no longer hesitated; I took my aim, discharged my piece, and the animal was instantly stretched before me with a groan which I conceived to be that of a human creature. I went up to it, and judge my astonishment, when I found I had an Indian ! He had envelop ed himself with the skin of one of these wild hogs so artful and completely,. his hands and feet were so entirely concealed iu it, and his gait and appearance were so exactly corresdondent to that of the animal’s, that, imperfectly as they were always seen through the trees and jungles, the disguise could not be penetrated at a distance, and scarcely discovered upon the nearest aspect. He was armed with a dagger and a tomahawk.” Such was the substance of this man’s relation. The Indians, skeltered in this disguise, secre ted themselves in the coppice, watched the moment when they could throw it off, hurst upon the sentinels without previous ala; m, and too quick to give them an op portunity to discharge their pieces’, either stabbed or scalped them, and bore their bodies away, which they concealed at some distance in the leaves. bans, like sea foam, round the mightiest capitals of Christian Europe : and when her feiocious sons beheld the Caliph lead er urge his horse into the sea, and lifting up his han.d to heaven, invoke the Prophet to witness.

We are on the eve of a great crisis. Scenes of intense and magnificent interest are abont to be enacted in the East. It appears, from the latest advices, that Turkey is awaking from Iver sleep of ages, and making the most formidable exertions to peel the hostile aggressions of Russia, and to retain her hold of her Greek Bondsmen. The number »f soldiers dis ciplined in the European fashion is stated at 150,000 and the Grand Signor shortly expects that force to be raised to 600,000. This is a new triumph for illiberality and prejudice ; the triumph of European dis cipline in Turkey will enable the Sultan Mahmoud to prop the collapsing towers of the Seraglio, and again lift up “the abomination that malceth desolate,” over the now beleagured circuit of the Atheni an Acropolis. But though human -efforts may daily, they will not, cannot ultimate ly defeat the progress of knowledge,— The revolution we daily witness attest this in a voice of rhunder. The great cir cle of improvement must finally he com pleted. The sun which shines at Lisbon will shine, in turn, at Cairo and Istam- boul. We may disarm the march of mighty events. If Europe does not quickly interpose, the scvmitar of the ruth less Ottoman will again be bathed in the choicest blood i.f Greece. Russia has been most able, opponent of the American Sys tem iri th‘e South. In his denunciations he is even bold enough to speak of a dis solution of the Union ! When in Penn sylvania, it is remembered he was a zea lous defender of the cause which, with so little decency, he now denounces. What a difference in the climate ! Two or three degrees have an astonishing c-llect upon opinion ! But when at the North, the system was popular. True: arid with ad miral consistency the Judge still supports the popular caus‘e. It is to him the rock of Iloreb, from which issues honors and hot toddy—more grateful than water to the thirsty Israelites. It would be unjust, however to ascribe to self-interest alone this total change of ground. Faction is the element of this distinguished man.— It is as natural to him as the ocean’s waves to mother Carey’s chickens. A Faction- tot in England, affiliated with the Jacobins of France, he sought to introduce there the French System, and found it convenient to emigrate hastily to America, to avoid a compulsory voyage to another and more distant region. Arrived here, Faction still found him upon her bubbling surface. He wrote a libel—sent it to the Attorney General, avowing it to be his—accom plished his purpose—was convicted—be came a martyr—rose on the storm—was appointed to office—and behold him Pres ident Judge of a Judicial District. And how did he behave? Strictly in charac ter. A demigogue in pursuit of power ; a tyrant in its exercise. For the people and their rights he shewed the most per fect contempt.

But her long People were obliged to interfere. Cooper was removed from office—justly degraded—by the votes of two-thirds of both brandies of the Assembly, and the hearty concurrence of Governor Snyder. Alter vainly striving to regain popularity by sustaining the cause ofDomestic Man ufactures, he received an offer of the Presidency of Columbia College, South Carolina. In this new station, the public has heard more of disputes respecting re ligious principles, than of the improve ment of his pupils. The quiet and repose of Academic shades, were however, little suited to his taste, his temper, or habits. Happily, for him, the public mind became agitated on the subject of protecting our homo industry—parties were excited—he saw the whitecaps break, and heard the roaring of the billows. ' Feeling that con fusion was his element, he plunged.in, as a Newfoundland dog dives into water.— W hat. a pitty for him and his cause that he is superannuated ; past seventy—it is ton late even to iiope that he can live to see the Union divided, though it might, were he younger, propitiate the Govern ment of Great Brittain, and open the way for his forgiveness, and return to his na tive shores.

These preparations, we are told, were hitherto disregarded bv the Di van, because they were confined to the es tablishment of a military force on the Danube. But as soon as orders were sent to equip a fleet on the Black Sea, the intentions of Nicholas stood revealed, and lia was considered as desirous of commen cing a war, in which the destinies of the world might be involved.
