His order was specific in its nature, and confined to two objects, viz. the towns of Hopounce and Phelemmee—he could not mistake. No heresay news, of stolen pro perty, of hostile chiefs being there, no circum stance of that nature could justify the work of death and devastation, on a friendly town. The judges of the Inferior Court of Baldwin county, acted wisely and justly too, (be it to their honor spoken) in extending toj Wright the benefit of the habeas corpus act, and his liberation. From Capt. Wright atonement is due—lie alone is responsi ble—he transcended his orders—he inflicted (at least at that time) undeserved punishment, on the weak and friendly savage. There are no circumstances connected with, or growing out of the expedition, which can justify his conduct.— Justice and humanity must be appeased. CATO. Morgan county, July 15, 1818.

Gen'l Montgomery —The National Advocate in detailing the important services of the gallant Montgomery, during the war of our revolution, remarks:—With a small army, poorly equipped, lie penetrated the wilderness, & marched through the snows and over the mountains, into that in hospitable region—he surmounted the most per plexing difficulties, and animated the drooping spirits of his men, by a brilliant example of pa tience and fortitude, and by a mild and persua sive manner, for which he was eminently distin guished. He arrived before the walls of Quebec —Fart of the detachment was commanded by Benedict Arnold, who got possession of the Low er town,-and was so unfortunate as to survive the combat. Montgomerv pursuing his march, in a narrow path, under Cape Diamond, a small mask ed battery, consisting of two pieces of cannon, opened its fire upon him—one was loaded with grape shot, which cut him down :—He fell ex claiming, “ Rush on, mes braces! I have only fallen in a ditch—the town is onr own!” A se cond shot struck him in the face, and also kil led his two aids, and part of his stall'. The ar my retreated towards their cainp. Thus fell, near the spot where also fell the gallant Wolfe, the no less gallant Montgomerv, both in sight of the town and in the moment of victory 5 for Ca nada would have been ours, if the general had not fallen on the very onset. Richard Montgom ery was an Irishman by birth, and of a distin guished family—his attachment to liberty induc ed him to be among the first who took up arms in behalf of our country—He died in the prime of life, being but 35 years of age. His respectable widow still survives to see her country pay the last honors to him whose worth and services have been so long esteemed and acknowledged. A Dutch ship, with 500 German passengers, from Amsterdam for Philadelphia, after a series of disasters, has reached Bergen, in Norway, having lost 100 of her passengers on the voyage —the rest were subsisting on the charity of the Norwegian government and citizens. In Philadelphia is exhibiting a'boy between four and five years of age, who weighs 112 lbs. Sleet 2 inches high, and 3 feet round the body, 19 inches round the thigh, and 12 round the leg. By the arrival of the ship F.ssex, jun. says the New-York Daily Advertiser ol the 29th ult. from Calcutta, we learn that a dreadful mortali ty prevailed—700 persons had died in one day The number of troops underarms, of the oppo sing armies, amounted to 300,000.

A woman having a cross grained husband, hard to please, she desired him to write down what she should do, that she might not err in her per formance; this was done and she well observed her rules—when one day going a mile or two to visit a friend, the good man got light headed, and on his return home he reeled into a ditch, calling to his wife to help him out. “ Indeed husband, said she, ! remember no such article in my or ders, but I’ll go home and see ; if there be, I’ll come and help you out.” to correspondents.
