Mi 913 ML&ritfiUlDW&i _ 7 - . . . - Capture of Gnatcinozin—l*rcsc»tt’« Mexico. j While this work of butchery was gc-. ing on, numbers wore observed pushing off in the barks that lined the shore, and i making the best of their way across the lake. They were constantly intercepted by the brigantines, which broke through the flimsy array of boats; sending off j their volleys to the right and left, as the j crews of the latter hotly assailed them.— j The battle raged as fiercely on the lake ! as on the laud. Many of the Indian ves- j sols were shattered and overturned.— ] Some few, however, under cover of the smoke, which rolled and arkly over the Wa- J ters, succeeded in clearing theanselves of the turmoil, and were fast .nearing tire opposite shore. Sandoval had particularly charged his captains to keep an eye on the move ments of ntty Vessel in which it was pro bable that Guateindziii might he conceal ed. At this crisis, three or four of the largest piraguays were seen skimming over the water, and making their way rapidly across the lake. A captain, na med Garei Holguin, who had command of one of the best sailers in the fl<«f, in- j stautly gave them chase. The wind was lavorable, and, every moment, he j gained on the fugitives, who pulled their ! oars with a vigor that despair alone could 1 have given. Hut it was in vain; surd, I after a short race, Holguin, coming alongside of one of the ; piragnays , which, whether from its appearance, or from information lie had received, he conjectured might hear the Indian empe ror, ordered his men to level their cross bows at the bout. Hut, before they could discharge them, a cry arose from those in it, that their lord was on board. At the same moment, a young warrior, armed with buckler and mufjUahnilt , rose up, as if to beat off the assailants. But, as the Spanish captain ordered his men not to shoot, lie dropped his weapons, and exclaimed, “1 am Guatemozin ; lead me to Malinche, I am his prisoner; but let no harm come to my wife and my fol lowers.” * Holguin assured hi n that his wishes should be respected, and assisted him to get on board the brigantine, fill lowed by his wife and attendants. These \yere twenty in number, consisting of Coana co, the deposed lord of Tezeuco, the lord of Tiucopan, and several other caciques and dignitaries, whose rank, probably, had secured them some exemption from the general calamities of tile siege.— When the captives were seated on the deck ol his vessel, Holguin requested the Aztec prince to put an end to the combat, by commanding his people in the other canoes, to surrender. But, with a dejec ted air, he replied, “ It is not necessary. They will fight no longer, when they see that their prince is taken.” He spoke truth. The news of Guaicmozin’s cap ture spread rapidly through the fleet, and on shore, where tlie Mexicans were still engaged in conflict with their enemies. It ceased, however, nt once. They made no further resistance; and those on the water quickly followed the brigantines, which conveyed their captive monarch to land. It seemed as if the fight had been maintained tints longer, the better to divert the enemy’s attention, and cov er their master’s retreat. Meanwhile, Sandoval, on receiving ti dings of the capture, brought his own bri gade alongside of Holguin’s, and demand ed the royal prisoner to be surrendered to him. Bat his captain claimed him as DEMOCRATIC BANNER TREE TRADE; DOW DUTIES; NO DEBT; SEPARATION FROM BANKS; ECONOMY; RETRENCHMENT; AND A STRICT ADHERENCE TO THE CONSTITUTION.-- J. C. C.11.110U.W a prize. A dispute arose between the parties, each anxious to have the glory of the deed, and perhaps the privilege of commemorating it on his escutcheon.— The controversy continued so long that it reached the ears of Cortes, who, in his station on the azote , had learned, with no little satisfaction, the capture of his enemy. He instantly sent orders to his wrangling officers, to bring Guatemozin before him, that he might adjust the dif ference between them. He charged them, at the same time, to treat their pris oners with respect. He then made prep arations for the interview; caused the terrace to lie carpeted with crimson cloth and matting, and a table to be spread with provisions, of which the unhappy Aztecs stood so much in need. His love ly Indian mistress, Dona Marina, was present to act as interpreter. She had stood by his side through all the troubled scenes of the Conquest, and she was there now to witness its triumphant ter mination. Guatemozin, on landing, was escorted by a company of infantry to the presence of the Spanish commander. He mount ed the azotca with a calm and Steady step, and was easily to lie distinguished from his attendant nobles, though his full, dark eye was no longer lighted up with its accustomed fire, and his features wore an expression of passive resigna tion, that told little of the fierce and fiery spirit, that burned within. His head was large, his limbs well proportioned, his complexion fairer than those of his bronze-colored nation, and his whole de portment singularly mild and engaging. Cortes came forward with a dignified and studied courtesy to receive him.— The Aztec monarch probably knew the person of his conqueror, for he first broke silence by saying—“ I have done ail that I could, to defend myself and my people. I am now reduced to this state. You will deal with me, Malinche, as you list.” Then, laying his hand on the hilt of a poniard, stuck iu the General’s belt, he added, with vehemence, “ Better despatch me with this, and rid me of life at once.” Cortes was filled with admiration at the proud bearing of the young barbarian, showing in his reverses a spirit worthy of an ancient Roman, “Fear not,” he replied, “you shall be treated with all honor. You have defended your capital like a brave warrior. A Spaniard knows how to respect valor even ill an enemy.” He theu inquired of him, where he had left the princess, his wife; and, being in formed that she still remained under pro tection of a Spanish guard on board the brigantine, the general sent to have her escorted to his presence. She was the youngest daughter of Montezuma; and was hardly yet on the verge of womanhood, On the accession of her cousin, Guatemozin, to the throne, she had been wedded to him as his law ful wife. She is celebrated by her con temporaries for her personal charms ; and tile beautiful princess, Tecuichpo, is still commemorated by the Spaniards, since from her by a subsequent marriage, are descended some of the illustrious families of their own nation. She was kindly received by Cortes, who showed her the respectful attentions suited to her rank. Her birth, no doubt, gave her afi additional interest in his eyes, and he may have felt some compunction, as he gazed on thedatightei of die unfortunate Montezuma. He invited his royal cap tives to partake of the refreshments, which their exhausted condition render ed so necessary. Meanwhile the Span ish commander made his dispositions for the night, ordering Sandoval to escort the prisoners to Cojohuacan, whither he proposed, himself immediately to follow. The other captains, Olid and Alvarado, were to draw off their forces to their re spective quarters. It was impossible for them to continue in the capital, where the i crisonous effluvia from the unbnried carcasses loaded the air with infection. A small guard only was stationed to keep order in the wasted suburbs. It was the hour of vespers when Guatemo zin surrendered, and the siege might be considered as then concluded. The eve ning set in dark, and the rain began to fall, before the several parties had evacu ated the city. During the night a tremendous tem pest, such ns the Spaniards had rarely witnessed, and such as is known only within the tropics, burst over the Mexi can valley. The thunder, reverberating from the rocky amphitheatre of hills, bel lowed over the waste of waters, and shook the tcocallis, and crazy tenements of Tenochtitlan—the few that yet survi ved—to their foundations. The light ning seemed to cleave asunder the vault of heaven, as its vivid flashes wrapped the whole scene in a ghastly glare for a moment, to be again swallo.wed up in darkness. The war of elements was in unison with the fortunes of the "ruined city. It seemed as if the deities of Aua hunc, scared from their ancient abodes, were borne along shrieking and howling in the blast, as they abandoned the fall ing capital to its fate I Indian Appetite No people so soon get tired of any particular diet as Indians! and their longings for change, even amidst dies best chcor, are often truly ridiculous. — MACON, WEDNESDAY, .1' NUARY 17, 1814. The flexibility of their stomachs is no less surprising. At one time they will gorge themselves with food, and are then prepared to go without for several days, if necessary. F.nter their tents; sit there, if you can, for a single day; and not for an instant will you find the fire unoccu pied by persons of all ages cooking.— When not hunting or travelling, they are, in fact, always eating. Now it is a little roast, a partridge or rabbit, perhaps; now, a tid-bit broiled ; anon, a portly kettle, well filled with venison, swings over the fire ; then comes a choice dish of curdled blood, followed by the sinews and morrow hones of deers’ legs singed on the embers. And so the grand busi ness of life goes unceasingly round, in terrupted only by sleep. Another physi cal singularity of the northern tribes is, that though capable of resisting, with great fortitude, the most intense cold, they are wonderfully fond of fire. At an establishment, even when the weath er is mild and pleasant out of doors, they are to be seen heaping on fuel in the house, and actually sitting cross-legged on a hearth where a white man would speedily be roasted. [Discoveries on the North Coast. The T.eadcrsol Republican Home. Who, when looking back upon the nations, with the view of understanding what that specific charaater of greatness may have been, which, in the highest power of human achievement, rested in simple heroic magnanimity, most abso lutely upon itself, feels not his imagina tion drawn irresistibly to the old war riors and statesmen—real or fabulous, he cares not—the more fabulous the more real—of Republican Rome? Wielding, as they did, the only unmatched power that was ever known upon earth, nursed in arms and danger, sustaining each in his person the celebrity of a great ances tral name, and growing up alike to the highesi charge of civil and military com mand—there could not well be a birth, a morning, and a noon of life, in which the spirit of the human heart might rise more gloriously and steadfastly in the con sciousness and the capacity of a great destination. They knew nothing higher nor greater than the lot to which they were born, and they saw nothing aliove themselves ; they stood at the top of earthly pre-eminence, Serving their ambitions country, they were called to enterprise without bounds ; they must know no fear, nothing unachievable.— The renown and safety of the republic rested on the single leader of one day’s battle. They must feel themselvesto he invincible. And these ore, indeed, the characters which we find in these heroic minds; no height of daring was above their hope lo climb; no invasion of peril could appal them ; and, whatever duty might be laid upon them, extraordinary is, that among such numbers of intrepid, ardent and unconquerable minds, eligag-. ed too in prosecuting ambitious wars, so many should have been found in whom it doesnot seem that ambition had a place. They servtd iheir country’s passion for j conquest and renown, and yet kept them- { selves temperate, austere, and just. We | cannot blit tbink we are to ascribe to the virtuous and simple manners of the re public that peculiar character of these great men, their own virtuous simplicity. We imagine nothing above the powers of their minds, or their noble desires, in those spirits which have made the earth blaze with their course. These ancient fathers of Rome are their equals.— Whence is it, then, that tneir greatness did not break forth in ceaseless and con suming flames? Because the hand that thrice triumphed returnedto the plough; and the dictator must leave his new turned furrows to take upon him the de liverance of Rome. It was the simple virtue of those stern but pure times—a virtue never forgotten—that was able, like a mighty spell, to comrol the gran deur of those unconquerable spirits, and confine them within themselves. And hence it is not possible for us to read their history without feeling that there I rests upon them the august renown of a moral greatness. They were sages in the calm mid meditative quiet of their little field, ns they were awful rulers while they held, in their might of prince ly counsel, tire sway of the state —as they were dread leaders in the front of victorious fight. We can find :io other explanation of what is scarce elsewhere to be found nowhere else in such fre quent example, the very height of heroic greatness with the simple plainness and contented obscurity, if the expression could Ire used, of these men, who, when they had discharged their part to their country, were indifferent further to their own glory. 4 [ Professor Wilson. StvliUi Hesuing. Willis, in his last letter to the Nation al Intelligencer has the following ac count of a nc\y scene in life in New- York:—- “ Apropos of beggars—the system of engenious betrgary, so curiously descri bed in Grmrt’s Great Metropolis,’ is begin ning to be tried on in New-York, There is one yong lady (of very correct habits, 1 believe, in point of fact) who makes a living by means that wear a somewhat questionable complexion out of ‘distin guished strangers.’ A member of Con gress, or a diplomatist in transit, for ex ample, receives a note the day after his arrival is advertised, in a handwriting of singular beauty. In the most graceful language, and with the daintiest use of French phrases, he is iitfoftned that a young lady who has long watched his career with the deepest interest—uffio has a feeling for him which is a mystery to herself—who met him accideiitly in a place she will recall to his memory should she be so fortunate as to see him again—who is an unhappy creature of impulse, all too fondly tender for this harsh world and its constructions — would like to see him on a certain side walk between eight and nine. Hy hold ing his across his left breast, he will be accosted at that time and place, The ladylikeness and good taste of the note, so different from the usual tentatives of that description, breed a second thought of cariosity, and the victim is punctual. Alter a turn or two on the appointed sidewalk, he encounters a tall young la dy, deeply veiled, who addresses him by name, takes his arm, and discourses to him at first upon his own anibitions his tory, contriving to say the true and flat tering thing, for which she lias duly in formed herself.—She skilfully evades his attempts to make her talk of things more particular, and regretting fee linsriy that she can only see him on the side walk, appeals to his ‘well known gene rosity’ for ten dollars to keep her and her mother from being turned out of doors ! She takes it with tremulous pathos, de mands to his honor that he will not fol low her, and slips round the corner to meet another ‘distinguished stranger’ with whom she has appointed an niter view fifteen minutes later in the uext street! I was in a company of strangers at a hotel not long ago, when one of these dainty notes was produce I, and it so happened that every man present had one iu his pocket from the same hand ! Among the party there were four ap pointments proposed by the same lady, to come off on the four sides of a certain square, for that evening ! She is proba bly doing a good business.” Nall lutl ideas of Paradise. Almost all nations have united to make the future abode of good spirits a garden; a name among the Assyrians synony mous with Paradise. The Mahometans call the Paradise to which (he faithful : will be called, Jannat le Nam, the Gar den of Pleasure ; Jdnnat Aden , the Gar den of Perpetual Abode ; and not unfre quenfly by (he name of At Jannat, the Garden, to distinguish it from all others. The Laplander believes Paradise to be situated in the centre of the snow of Swe den ! The Muscogulgees immagine it among the islands of the vast Pacific.— 'l’he mexicatis conceived that those who died of won lids, or were drowned, went to a cool and delightful place, there to enjoy till manner of pleasures ; thttse who ! died in battle Os itt Captivity, were waft ed to the palace of the sun, and led a life of endless delight. Alter an abode of four years in this splendid habitation, they animated clouds, and birds ofbeau tifill feather, and of sweet song ; having at the Same time, liberty to ascend to heaven or decend the earth, to suck sweet flowers and warble' enchanting song-*.— , The Tonquinese imrgiue the forests and mountains to be peopled with a peculiar kind of genii, who extbreiSe an influence ! over the affairs of mankind ; and in their j ideas, relative to a stale of future happi ness, they regard a delightful climate, an atmosphere surcharged with odors, with a throne profusely covered with garlands j of flowers, as the summit of celestial feli city. Among the Arabs, a fine country, : with abundance of shade, form the prin cipal object of their promised bliss/ There is a tribe rtf America who believe that the souls of good men are conveyed to a pleasant valley, abounding in deli cious fruit, 'file heaven of the Celts was called E/uth-innis, “the good and the brave;” tlieir hell, Jfurin, “the island of cold climate.” The Druids, as we are j informed by Amniinnus Marcel!imis be lieved that the soul of good men were wafted, in progressive course, from plan et to planet, enjoying at every successive change a more sublime felicity titan in the last. Witty 'I mseilian. “Don’t you think my execution of Othello a capital performance ? it is in my line, is it not?”-askcd an eminent Tragedian of Cooke. “ Why, yes,” replied tire provoking punster, “ail executions may be consid ered capital performances; and your performance of Oflielio is certainly one of that class, for you execute hijn in youi line, so effectually, that as soon as you lay hands upon him, he is no Moor.” Fouche, the famous head ofthe French Police, speaking to Lord Brougham of the perilous times iu, which he acted, said “ he had slept upou thp guillotine for twenty-live yqurs.” Georgia Legislature.
