of the Magnolio, arrived yesterday from Masters between this place and Charleston,
though he displays a correct semblance of

The ancient historians compiled prodigies
to gratify the credulous curiosity ofreaders ;
but since prodigies have ceased, while the
same avidity for the marvellous exists, mo
dern historians have transferred the mira
culous to their personages. Children read
fables as histories, but Philosophers read
histories as fables. I do not mean to say
that fabulous history does not sornetimos
convey much instruction.
1 think Voltaire in one of his letters, has
let us into the secret, or mystery ofthe his
torical art; for he there says—no writers
but those who have composed tragedies, can
throw any interest into history 5 that we
must know how to paint and excite the pas
sions, and that history, like a dramatic piece,
must have situation, intrigue and catastro
phe. This is an observation, which ap
pears to have great truth in it; but, at the
same time, it shows there can be little truth
in such agreeable narrations If an histo

Under the late act of the Legislature of

Washington’s Biiith-Day.—“ To gild
refined gold,” or “to paint the lilly,” would
not be more ridiculous excess, than ut this
day to utteT an euiogium on the character
of Washington. He was emphatically the
beet, the greatest, wisest of mankind. He
appears to have been sent on earth to vin
dicate, not only the cause of his country,
but to vindicate tho character of human na
ture, and to prove how near man may ap
proach to perfection. The simple, unadorn
ed and natural majesty of the character of
George Washington, casts in the shade,
“all Greek, all Roman fame.” Like Cincin-
natus, he was called from his plow; but he
not only directed the sword of his country
against her foes—he was her guide and
father in peace, as he had been her cham
pion and hero in war. Who would ex
change the pure and spotless fame of our
American Hero, earned by a life of patriot
ism, of virtue, of goodness, of all that con-
•titutes the truly great, for all the blood
stained laurels of the devastators whom his
tory has immortalized, wet with the tears of

Had he lived in the days of Grecian poesy,

have been placed among the gods and pro

The Centella—We have made some
further inquiry as to this vessel. It ap
pears that the report ot the engagement
and subsequent destruction of the Centella,
was brought to Key West by one ofthe A-
rnerican squadron, on the 9th instant, and
was generally current there. By the arri
val of the Magnolio, however, which left
Havana on tho 1‘Jtli instant, we learn that
nothing at that date was known there as to
the circumstance.
Navai. Battle.—A gentleman arrived
at Norfolk from Curacoa, states that the
Colombian sohr. General Santander, Cajit.
Northrup, fell in on the 10th Dec. last, off
Cum.uia, with the Spanish government brig
Marie Santa, Capt. Jose Andoyes, of 22
guns, said to be from Madrid, laden with
cochineal and jewelry, value estimated at
£15.000. After an action in which the
General Santander had 7 killed and 10
•lightly wounded, find the Marie Santa 16
kill mI and 19 wounded, the latter struck to

TO THE EDITORS OK THE GEORGIAN.
HISTORICAL CHAR ACTE It* ARE NOT ALWAYS

We accustom ourselves to pay too liberal
an admiration to the great characters re
corded in modern, to say nothing- of ancient
history. It seems often necessary to be
humanity. Few circumstances are more
consider her ns a Queen, we must some
times consider her as a woman. The sym
pathy we give to a princess, ravished from
her throne and dragged by traitors, to wet
with tears the iron grates of her dungeon,
we may with no loss propriety bestow on
that unfortunate female, whom unfeeling
creditors have snatched from maternal du
ties, or social labors, to perish by the hour
in some loathsome prison. If we feel for
the decapitation of a virtuous and long per
scented statesman, we are not to feel less
for that more common object, a man of ge
nius condemned to languish in obscurity,
and perish in despair. A great General dies
in tho arms of victory, and his character
reaches posterity, but he probably conduc
ted hundreds whom nature intended for
generals, hut whom fortune made loot sol
diers. Katharine, the queen of Henry fith,
is an object of our tendcrest sympathy; but
why should our sensibility be diminished,
when we look on those numerous females,
not less gentle nor less cruelly misused.who
without the consolutions of sovereignty are
united to despots, not less arbitrary and
brutal than Henry ?
The sorrows ofthe Scottish Queen Mary,
the refined insults of a rival sister, the scowl
of scorn, and the implication of infamy, may
penetrate our hearts; but we forget that
there are families, where scenes not less
terrible, and sisters not less unrelenting, are
hourly discovered; anil that there are beau
ties, who without being confined to the me
lancholy magnificence of a castle, or led to
the dismal honour of an axe, equally fall
victims, to fatal indiscretion, or to fatal per
secution. We hear that the sensibility of
Mary’s grief, turned her beautiful tresses
grey. Alas! how many, agonized by as
sharp corrosives, yet who know not, as their
sighs pass away unheard, that it is the set
tled melancholy of their soul, which lias
changed their hairs grey. If some consi
der that a Queen is more wretched than an
inferior individual, it may be replied that be
tween two broken hearts, the grief must be
much alike.
The fascination which thus takes pos
session of us in historical narratives, is
therefore the artifice ofthe historian, assist

ority which we attach to great characters. |
