Hu (Oration* Delivered at Elherlon, Ga. July 4th, 1825. By SAMUEL U. OLIVER, m. u. Such were the sentiments ol our Father*, who *• Dared to ponder for themselves, To weigh Kings in the balance ; and to speak Os Freedom, the forbidden fruit.” And we n-.ve assembled to commemorate the day, and the deed, which established our rights, derived from God, Umiselt—gave liberty to the world, and a ne w impulse and direction lo the human in ellect. The observance of memorable enoclis and e vents; hear, the impress of antiquity for its an thority, and is a team re in the history of nations, winch seems in.eparable from Hie generous led digs of man, and is reuderei more hallowed b) times, and the universality of the suiliiiuul.

Vet ( shall not despair, when all hearts heal in unison, and every foot is within the sanctuary, and every hand is upon the altar with its offering ! This day presents a proud and heart-cheering prospect to the world ; twelve million of people hailing the return ol their political anniversary ; «1> ages and.sexes, ranks and professions, however discordant in tastes and purailils, blending and neutralizing their differences and political opm ions, m one general acclaim ol joy; testifying their paramount love, fur the solemn truths in the immortal charter, winch contains the rights of the human Family.— It is .lac property of eve ry age and every nation; and will remain when the edicts and masilesiues, of the last reigning monarch shall have sunk into oblivion ! —Let the decrees ol the alettes and the Persians be lost and torgot.

I e Xiatest from EiUTo\>e. i Boston, July 8. We are indebted to Mr. Topliff for the loan of Amsterdam and Harlem papers to June 7. They contain under date of Paris, May 31, an account of the coronation of King Charles X. at Rheims, on the 28th. The King left Paris May 24th, for Compeigne, where he remained until 27th. He then 1 went to Nismes, and on the 28th to a village called B.iurgueux, where he met the royal family, the great officers, &c. and a grand procession was formed. Among the Ambas sadors present, were the Duke of Northum berland, Prince Esterhazy, Count Pozzo di 1 IWgo. and Sidi Hamel,' the Minister ofi 1 I unis. On the day of the coronation, the I King walked in the procession to the church \ between two Cardinals. The procession! was very magnificent, and the dresses very brilliant.. The king pronounced the corona tion oath, in a clear and distinct voice, in the following words : “ I promise in the pre sence ot God and my people, to support and to honor our holy religion, as is the duty ofi I every Christian king anil oldest son of the! . church todojusttce and right to my sub-1 jeefs. anil to reign according to the laws of' ' the kingdom and the constitutional charter,! which I swear faithfully to perform. So help l me God and the holy evangelists.” The , ceremony of annointing, and of the corona tion, by the Archbishop of Rheims, is then described. After the coronation, the King, and die high officers, sat down to dinner, of a hundred and fifty covers, given by the city; ol Rheims. The King granted a pardon to; a great number of persons under sentence! ! of political offences, among others to Gen. . Drouet d’Erlon. The horses ol the King’s carriage ran a way with it, and he owes his life to the skill <d his postillion anti coachman. General Curial was thrown from Ids horse and had two rib-, broken. Gen. Bordeselle was thrown twice, but received no injury. There are some particulars of late date j ' from Greece, hut no event of importance is ( mentioned. Tie Egyptian army is said to ( have been in the neighbourhood of Modon, , on the last of Ap' il, in a critical situation, , The Pacha had Inst many of his men in vari- , ous engagements, and was suffering for want j of Provisions. He waited in vain fora di-| version in his favor by the Seraskier, and for , the fleet from Constantinople. This infor- j mation is received from Corfu, under date!; of May 1. It is confirmed by news fromjj Seres, to April 30, which states that the , Seraskier had raised the siege of Missolong- , hi, and having been beaten by the Greeks!, , near Arta, had been obliged to retreat to Jamaica. The same news confirmed under the date of Constantinople, April 27. It is stated that the Captain Pacha was expected i to sail with the fleet in five or six da vs. ; It is confidently asserted that Ulysses, I who had gone over to the Turks, had been . abandoned by his men, and been obliged too flee to the mountains, and that Gourra. whoji is the commander on the side of Athens, I hoped to catch him.

The lads lately convicted of manslaugh ' ter, have in conformity with their sentence, I been each placed in the cells of tile state* t prison.—These cells are dark stone rooms, e scarcely ten feet in length, and six in :1 breadth ; cold, dreary, and dismal. Though confinement at hard labour in the state pris on, carries with it an odium difficult to shake off, yet still there is a gleam of hope and a ray of comfort. The convict labours with his fellow convict ; exercise gives him health and appetite; he sees the face of man ; he takes his meals and sleeps with his unfortunate companions ; he enjoys the , light of day ; the rays of the rissing & set* ' ting sun; the breeze of summer, and the bra cing air of winter. There is still comfort in * calamity, but alas, what situation can be ’ more wretched than confinement in the sol ' itary cells of a prison. Man was made for ’ society ; he is wretched without it, and the . late of these youths should make a deep im : pression upon our apprentices generally, and admonish them to avoid vice and intempe rance, and accustom themselves to indus try and sobriety and civility. Contrast the present and past Situation of ‘ those captive boys. They have all parents land relations, to whom they were recipro cally attached ; they enjoyed the comfort and happiness of home; the endearing at tention, and affectionate solicitude of mo thers, brothers and friends; their little wants were gratified ; their reasonable pleasures promoted ; they rose early to work, and, in the ship-yard or on the shop board, with the , plumb of the mason, and the plane of the : carpenter, or, in the ordinary moceanical I pursuits, they were treadTng a career of (usefulness, honour, wealth, and happiness; I the hope of their families, and probably i their country; now mark the sad reverse. In seven solitary cells, dark as night, with out a voice to cheer them, these unfortun ate boys now lie.—ln one corner is their (hard and comfortless bed, no sound breaks upon their benumbed ears and chilled fa culties, save the grating' of the ponderous bolts, when they are withdrawn to admit j the mute and surly gaoler, who places the coarse meal of bread and water on the stone table and retires in silence. No grateful voice of parents or relations is heard— those voices which called them to their meals, warned them to their beds, attend ed them in sickness, and was jocund and free with them in health. The sound of cannon, the “ spirit-stirring drum,” the shouts of freemen, the joyful music of the band heard on our national anniversary, reach not their prison. There they sit, coil ed up in a corner, shivering with damps and apprehension—-shut out from the world, darkness, dreariness and sickness of heart surrounding and affecting them. is not a highly coloured picture ; it is, un fortunately, a true sketch. Let it warn or youth to beware of bad company—to shun bad habits—to keep themselves out of broils and mischief—to be industrious and econo mical, and calculate upon the arrival of that time, When they are to take a place among their fellow citizens, and earn for themselves reputation and bread. [A r . JK. Advocate. New-York, July 5. Three boat races took place in the course of yesterday. The one at Hoboken for a beautiful prize boat built by Chambers; for the managers of the Park Theatre, which —was won in two heats by the Crawford: the second prize of fifty dollars, given by the proprietors of Hoboken Kerry, was won by the Despatch; and a third prize of 25 dollars was gained by the Ella Ruth. Af ter the termination of the race, the prize boat was taken from Whitehall to the Cir cus and Theatre, to be exhibited to the res pective audiences. A purse for SIOO was also rowed for between Castle Garden and Powlcs Hook, and was won by the Wash • * ington, beating the Lafayette and Ameri can, and several other fine boats.—ln the evening a race for all boats took place, from Governor’s Island to Whitehall-slip, which was won by a Staten Island skiff called The Dart. ppp Attempted Insurrection. —Capt. Russell, of the brig Merced arrived at New-York from Alvarado, reports, that it was discov ered that a rising of the lower classes of the people there was to have taken place on the night of the 10th June, for the purpose, as they gave out, of attacking the old Spaniards ; but it is generally supposed they intended to massacre all resident stran gers, without distinction, and plunder their property, a considerable quantity of species having lately arrived in town. The troops ami piincipal inhabitants were up nearly all night, under great anxiety, until the ringleaders were arrested, ami sent in ir ons on board the guard ship, to await, their trial. In other respects the country was very tranquil.
