Romantic Sforif,—There is a cavern in
the islands, in the. South Pacific Ocean,
which can only he entered by diving into
th e • eo and has no other light than what is
reflected from the bottom of the water. A
young chief discovered it accidentally while
diving after a turtle ; and the use which he
made of bis discovery w ill probably be sung
in more than one European language, so
bea-irifully is it adapted for a tale in verse.
There was a tyrannical governor at Vavaoo
ageiost whom one of the chiefs formed a
pKn of insurrection ; it was betrayed, and
the chief, with all his family and kin, teas
ordered to he destroyed. He had a beauti
ful daughter betrothed to a chief of high
rn- k and she was included in the sentence.
The youth who had found the cavern, and
Jeep* the secret, to himself, loved this damsel:
he told her the danger in time; and per
suaded her to trust herself to him. They
got into a canoe ; the place of her retreat
was described to her on the way to it
(these women swim like mermaids:) she
dived after him, and rose in the cavern ; in
the widest part it is about 50 feet, and its
medium height is guessed at the same, the
Toof hong with stalactites. Here he brought
her the choicest food, the finest clothing,
a mat for her bed, and sandal-wood oil to
perfume herself; here he visited her as of
ten as was consistent with prudence; and
here as may be imagined, this Tonga Lean
er wooed and won the maid, whom, to
'make the interest complete, he had long
Joyed in secret, when he had no hope.
Hfeantime he prepared with all his depen
dents, male and female to emigrate in se
cret to the Fiji islands. The intention was
*o well concealed, that they embarked in
safety; and his people asked him, at the point
of their departure if he would not take with
him a Tonga wife: accordingly to their
great astonishment, haring steered close to
a rock, he desired them to wait till he went
into the sea to fetch her, jumped overboard
and just as they WeAe beginning to he se
riously alarmed at his' loritxAdisappearance,;.
'ffo rose with his mistress from/Ahe water.
This story is not deficient in that which all
ouch stories should have to be K perfectly de
lightful—a fortunate conclusion. The party
remained at the Fijis till the oppressor died,
and then returned' to Vavaoo, where they
enjoyed a long and bpppy fife. This is re-

Since publishing the paragraph in last week’s

tory, if established in a convenient position in this
state, and proposing cotton at its present and pros
pective low rate as a substitute for raps, we have
met with the following article from the 4 * Annals of

the first and only material used on its invention.—
“ In the beginning of the 12th century, (and bow

TroupisM in the Old Dominion.—Notwithstanding
the subservience of Gov. Troup to the views of the
aristocracy, his treasonable schemes are treated
with contempt by every' honest politician of that
state. As evidence of that feeling, we quote the
fnllowi®? sentiment, drunk as one of the regular
toasts at a public dinner given to Mr, Tyler by the
citizens of Charles City, Ya.
“ Governor Troup.—V ;rpetuity to his memory, as
the last American who W'ould deprive an Indian of
his birthright, or raise his arm against his country.”
We ate gratified to find that the merits of Gov.
Troup are appreciated abroad as well as at home.
Mr. Tyler is not alone in believing that Governor
Troup is the ‘ l last,' , the very last man who would in
tentionally and designedly “deprive ari Indian of lus ^ , , ‘ ,

Henry Cruger, Fsq. so long and well
known in this community has terminated
his career at the advanced age of88.
Mr. Cruger was a New-Yorker by birth
a circumstance that in all 1 !> e conditions
of his life he remembered, and recurred to
with Measure. Connected by commercial
pursuits, with Bristol. England, he became
a resident there, and was elected Mayor of
the city, and twice, one of its representatives
n the House of Commons, having for his
associate the great Edmund Burke. Tt was
on the hustings, at one of these elections,
that his attachment to his native citv was
thus^casualJv but strongly evinced. Among
the crowd assembled before the hustings, on
some good news being announced for Mr.
mger’s cause, a New-Yorker accidentally
oresent, shouted 44 huzza for Old Slip”—the
nlace of Mr. C.’s birth. Mr. Cruger imme
diately sought him out, gave him his. hand
and insisted upon his walking arm arid arm
with him in the procession, at the close of
the day.
Mr. Cruger lived much in the society of
Fox, Burke, and Sheridan: and by his a-
greeable manners, animated and cheerful
intercourse, and manly and honourable feel
ings, was every where acceptable. How
ever much honoured and beloved in a For
eign country, (for so England after the in
dependence of the United States, had be
come) he longed to return to his own : and
as early as he could, did so; and was cho
sen a Senator of this State. His residence,
until within a few years, was on Long- Is
land. l atterly it has been this city.—JV*. Y.

Cascades of Tivoli, near Rome.-—-The
lovers of the picturesque and beautiful will
lament to hear that the cascades of Tivoli,
the recreation and the pride of ancient and
of modem Rome, have ceased to exist.
During the night of the 18th December, the
Vavemo suddenly disappeared, the waters
having found egress under ground, re-ap-
pearing at a considerable distance, under
the Neptune Grotto. This is a catastrophe
not dissimilar to the bursting of the Lake of
Mauvois, in the Yal de Bagnes, in 1818,
which did so much damage, and nearly
swept away the village of Martigny; and we
regret to learn, that it has also occasioned
considerable destruction. One church and
several houses have been carried away, and
all the various manufactories, with their
beautiful picturesque and romantic mills,
have been rendered utterly uselcs, so en
tirely so, that the Roman Government has
been obliged to forward supplies the im
mediate sustenance of the common people.

brated spot hasattempted to describe it

44 Y. Z.” the writer of an article in the Georgia
Patriot, of the 1.1th inst. ha9 thought proper to com
ment upon a paragraph of ours of the 4th inst. We
were on the point fit complimenting his discernment
with the following couplet—
“ Miracle of learning,
That points out faults to show hjs own discerning.”
Bnt as the beginning is not applicable, we hope he
will excuse us for withholding it. If ‘ Y. Z.’ was in
earnest when he supposed the article written by some
4 philosophical astronomer,’ we thank him for the
compliment: if ironical, it is the same to us. The
4 literati,’ as he classically expresses himself, are ac
quitted of any participation in the language or sen
timent expressed, though we conceive it would be
discreditable to many not regarded as ‘ philosophical
astronomers,’ or as belonging to the ‘literati’ to say
that they could not reason more philosophically upon
this subject than * Y. Z.’ Upon a reference to the
article we find no positive opinion of our own was
expressed: that which is regarded in others &9 sr-
perstition, can have no connexion with a positive de
monstration, or an established philosophical axiom.
4 Some may find in this superstitious omen of wars,
Slc. a natural cause for the intense cold, &c.’ ‘Some,’
or the allusion, ‘ some people,* is without reference to
any private views which may be entertained by us
upon this subject. 4 Some sections of the country,’
can have no definite allusion to Milledgeville, nor
can crops be confined particularly to 4 wheat.’ The
planters here were probably better acquainted witjl
thcii Aspects at that time than 4 Y. Z.’ in Millcdgc-
ville. The damage done to crops to which we al
luded, was derived from conversation with planters
around us; but we have since learned, that though
the appearances were alarming, yet they are likely
to recover with little damage.—Wo have not visited

ror Frederick II. in his 4 SiciliaT Institutions,’ A. P.
1221, ordered that public writings and securities
s' could be written on parchment onlv. Still, how
ever, the cotton paper maintained its ground for
these purposes, till it was in its turn superseded bv
the invention of a better kind, made oflinen rags.”
On linen being discovered to make it of a superior
quality, most other articles seem to have been ne
glected, until the immense increase of the use of pa
per within the last thirty or forty yearn, proved the
quantity oflinen rags, ?-.c, to be obtained, insufficient
to supply the demand; whence recourse was had to
the former substitutes. We believe that the gene
rality of printing paper, i9 now composed of at least
two thirds, if not all, cotton, and that it enters very
largely into the composition of nearly a>l the letter
and writing paper at present to be had ; though the
less of it those two kinds contain, the more agreea
ble it is to use.— 44 There is,” says a Loudon Re

variety of specimens of Paper made from, different
vegetables, as thistles, potatoe haurn, poplar bark,
hop vines, &c.” indeed any fibrous substance will
answer in some sort; but we believe, on the whole,
a sufficiency of rags would be collected so soon as it
became known that thev were an article of trade.
An article from the Richmond Enquirer, found in
this day’s paper, touching Mr. YVebster’s grand ef
fort at an amalgamation of parties in Boston, will be
regarded as another indication of the declining
strength of the administration. The lion of the north,
laying aside that sternness of his nature which so
recently fulminated the anathemas of Federal veu
geance against those that dared oppose the nder of
the tribe, is now attempting, by the 44 honied accents
of adulation,” to propitiate seceders from the descen
dant of the house of Braintree, and to unite all par
ties, feelings, and principles, in support of the present
incumbent. - These efiortB are made with a view to
destroy the anti-administration feelings existing in
the Massachusetts legislature, as an auxiliary trva
change of his own official character from Represen
tative to Senator, and from thence to some higher
post of distinction. Much excitement is said to
prevail in consequence, and the 44 dreadful note of
preparation” for a formidable opposition to Gen
Jackson’s claims to the Presidency, sounds ^tr and
near. The particulars as detailed in the article
above referred to, are as yet all that have been dis
closed. The following extract from the Galaxy, ap
