In 1821 when the United States great proportion of the severe cold weather,) received the possession of this Territory, | the lumber used in constructing it was taken with the exception of Pensacola and St. Au gustine, it was a total wilderness. There were a few families settled on Escambia River and Bay, who received their supplies from these places, but all the country be tween the extremes of the Territory was unexplored and unknown. In 1823 about 60 bales of cotton were made on the Ap- palachicola River.

His remains were to he intered in the royal mausoleum at Windsor, on the 20th of January, and pre parations w’ere making to pay the utmost possible respect to them.' Tho papers are lavish in the eulogiums on the character of the Duke, without, however, -overlooking the dark side of it In one of them is a me moir of the deceased, extracted from the Edinburgh Weekly Journal, evidently writ ten by Sir Walter Scott, in which the writer’s penchant for royalty rather got the better of the reproving spirit of the moralist, is, however, much less tinctured with par tiality than it would probably have been if written by any other individual equally strong in his attachment to tory principles. One cannot but smile at such a sentence as this—- u The religion of the Duke of York was sincere”—on coupling it with the la mentable acknowledgements which shortly follow, of his unconquerable passion fot the turf, for deep play, and-^for Mrs Clarke ! By the death his Royal Highness the succession to the Crown devolves upon his Royal Highness, the Duke of Clarence, who is now heir presumptive to the throne of these realms, and in the event of his de cease, without issue, his Majesty’s Royal niece, Alexandriana Victorio, daughter of the late Duke of Kent, will stand in that im portant relation to. the Imperial Crown of England. • If, indeed, we should be destin ed to sustain the.national calamity of the de mise of our beloved Monarch himself, be fore the young Princess (now in her eighth year) attains her majority, as fixed by the constitution, (the age of eighteen) she would instantly become invested with the dignity of Queen ; but the affairs, of the country during her minority, would be administered by a council of Regency, in her name. In the event of her death, the succession would descend to his Royal Highness t^e Duke of Cumberland ; and after him, to his son, Prince George Frederick, who is ihe, same age as the Princess Alexandriana, there being only three days difference in the period of their births. The Duke of-Sussex the Duke of Cambridge, and his children, would ascend the throne only in case of death removing all these prior claimants. “ Now I know that I am dying,” were the last words uttered by the Duke of York. Throughout his long illness, notwithstand ing the serious nature of his disease, the se- suffering he underwent, and the rapid wasting away of his person, he never seemed to have the least idea that his illness would termin ate fatally, until the morning of the day on which ho died. He did not even relinquish his habits of business until a very few days before his death, but continued to receive the official report of his Secretaries, as punc tually as when ’Tic attended at his office in the Horse Guards, and all hiis remarks show ed that he fully expected to recover: but early on the morning of that day which was to terminate his existence in this world, he beckoned his immediate attendants (Sir Herbert Taylor and Colonel Stevenson, we tation in the country, the hatred of ihe con stitution, and of the English, acquired more arid more consistency every day; A Re gency to act for Don Miguel had bean es tablished at LamegO.

The last of Morgan's Captains is no more !—Major Gabriel Long died at his residence, tn Culpepper county, Virginia, on the 3d instant in the seventy-sixth year of Iris age. His early life was distinguish ed by his services in the war of the revolu tion. He joined the battalion of 14 Culpep per Minutemen,” as a Lieutenant, in 1775, and was in the fipst actions with the enemy in. the Autumn of that year, at Hampton and Norfolk. His intrepidity fixed the public attention, and he was invited by Col. Daniel Morgan to take command of a company in the rifle regiment, with authority to select his men. lie marched in this capacity to the North, in ’76, and was constantly employed in that active and perilous service. At the battle of Saratoga he led the advance, and with his own hand commenced the action.-— The position he occupied was fuH of peril, but he illustrated its distinction by the distinction of his conduct.

From the Providence Journal. There is an old adage touching the do mestic avocations of women, which is pe culiarly applicable to the employment of a conductor of a newspaper. “ Man works from Sun to Sun* “ But woman’s work is never done.” It is just so with the printer; while others have their intervals of leisure, he has none ; while the tired labourer, goes and seeks an early repose—the merchant throws aside his books and bargains and enjoys the so- fireside in an evening at home—the cial manufacturer looses the bands that drive his complicated machinery—the farmer drinks his generous cider from the old fashioned silver or pewter mug (as the case may be) handed down from his sires, and cracks his nuts and jokes around the blazing hearth— while these are partaking the enjoyments of relaxation, and acquiring new vigor for the labors of the succeeding day—tho printer is at his case picking up little bits of lead with letters stamped on them, or labouring with his brain and pen to elicit something that shall please his readers the next week, or correcting proof sheets by the fading light of a lamp, until that light begins to blend with the tinges of early dawn. Such are the occupations of the printer and the edi tor, and when the dishes for one week’s course are served up—the pressman closed his labor of striking off the impression, and the assistants folded, directed, and mailed the papers for the week, then comes the time to commence new operations, mental and manual, for another publication.

The Cabinets of Lon don and St. Petersburg had, some time ago transmitted their ultimatum to Turkey on this subject. The Court of the Thuilleries has acceded to the policy of its allies within the last fortnight, and resistance by Turkey to their joint demands is wholly out of the question. The point insisted on amounts to nothing less than a full recognition by the Porte of the absolute & entire independence of theGreek nation, which recognition is to be officially communicated to the parties requiring it by a given day : failing which the embassadors of the allied Christian Courts are on that same ^dy7 simultaneous ly to quit Constantinople.

The evening gloom gradully gave place to the deeper shades of night, while my walk had almost unobservedly brought me to the spot occupied by the grave-yard, which, in the rear of the halls of learning, so practically co-operates with the Professor of Ethics within their walls ; and as the sensations with which I set out had varied but little, I felt in a very suitable humour for holding a few minutes’ conversation with myself and the appearances before me. “ And here,” thought I, “ is a proof of a close to visions, as bright and bodings as melancholy as any I have felt, and a similar quietus mine must surely have. There ’neath a green hillock lies all that is left of a young and lovely girl, whose character is most aptly represented by the spotless flower that blooms above her head—those silken tresses that once floated gracefully on the morning breeze—those cheeks that stole from Aurora half her loveliness, and those eyes where young innocence loved to ex press herself, are all mouldered by the damp shades of death.
