Strong are the ties of nature: but stronger anil overpowering are the influence -f gC&ce.—Christian Secretary. July 17. Religion.—We pity the man who has no rc- igioo in his heart—no high and irresistible yearning after a better and holier c.\istence— who is contented with the sensuality and gross ness oi earth—whose spirit never revolts at be darkness of its prison-house, nor exalted at he thought of its trnal emancipation. We pi ty him, for he affords no evidence of his high origin—no manifestation of that intellectual pr orogative, which renders him the delegated ;ofd of the visible creation. lie can rank no S ghcr than animal nature; the spiritual could never stoop so lowly. To seek for beastly ex elements—to minister with a bountiful hand to depraved and strange appetites—are the at tributes oi the animal alone. To limit our hepos :«nd aspirations to this life and this world, is like remaining forever in the place oi our birth, without ever lifting the veil oflhc visible horizon which bent over our infancy. 1 here is religion in every thing around us; a calm and holy religion in the unbreathing things of nature, which man would do well to imitate. It is a meek and blessed influence, 1 tealing in as it were, unawares upon the heart. It comes quietly without excitement. It lias tro terror; no gloom in its approaches It docs not rouse up the passions; it is untram melled by the creeds and unshadowed bv the superstition^ cf man. It is fresh from the hands of its Author; and glowing from the im mediate presence of the Great Spirit, which pervades and quickens it. It is written on the arched sky. It looks out from every star. It is on the sailing cloud, and in the invisible wind. It is among the hills ami valleys of earth—where the shrubles? rnounfaro top pierces the thin atmosphere of efi ma! win’rr—or where the mighty forest lluctuates bef’ro the strong wind, with its dark waves of green foliage It is spread out like a legible language upon the broad face of the unsleeping Ocean. It is the poetry of Nature. It is this, which uplifts the spirit within us un til it is tali enough to overlook the shadows of our place of probation; which breaks, link af ter link, the chains which bind us to materiali ty; and which opens to our imagination a world of sp ritual beauty and holiness.—Essex Gazette. F0XU2ZGN. FRENCH EXPEDITION. Lokbov Morning Herald Office, ) Monday Morniee, June 21,4 o’clock. $ We have just received, by an extraordinary express, the Paris papers of Saturday, accom panied by a letter from our correspondent, con taining the important intelligence ofthe French j expedition having effected a landing on (he coast, of Algiers. The following is the letter of our correspondent: Paris, Saturday Evening, June 19. The most sinister reports respecting the French expedition against Algiers were in cir culation throughout the whole of yesterday; hut tiiev were, 1 am happy to state, complete ly negatived by the telegraphic despaclhes, from the General and Admiral commanding the expedition, received last night, and which you will find in the journals of this day, which your express will convey to you. The effect of this news upon the public mind you might infer from the descending prices of ihc public funds on our Bourse this day (which I subjoin;) but you must have been present at the Opera, when it was announced last night, jo order to credit the enthusiasm with which it was bailed by, I may say, a fair representa tion ofthe Parisian public. At half past 3 o’clock yesterday, the funds ?tod mounted; but, from that time, till the close of business, they continued to descend in con sequence of the unfavoralc reports every where circulated. The fall within the last half hour amounted to nearly a franc. As you may conceive, the Bourne wa9 crowd ed this day long before the hour of business /o o'clock ) A groat number of transactions t ook place in what j s called the Coulissa. The •.prices being almost incredible after such news ns we have had—below the closing prices of v enter day! On more than one occasion I have, and truly, ascribed the maintenance of prices to Ministerial influence. I nc^v assert, on good authority, that the depression of the funds this day is the work of the Liberaux, who wish to defeat the hopes of Ministers founded on the Telegraphic despatch. At the commencement of public business this afternoon the opening price of the Three per cents was 77f 50c. ofthe Five per cents fell to 104f 20c. Shortly alter the Three per cents fell to 771 30c, at which price they re main when 1 am obliged to close my letter. Fmm the Moniteur. TELEGRAPHICDESPATCH Cidi Feuach, June 14th, 10 A. M.

France.—An extraordinary express from Pa ris reached London on the 21»t, announcing the news ofthe landing of the French expedition against Algiers. The news was received in * 1 * * Paris by Telegraphic despatch, and was soon after announced by authority in the Theatre of the Opera, where it naturally created a great display of enthusiasm. The debarkation com menced at four in the morning of the 14th of June The enemy had been driven from his position, and a battery of nine guns and two mortars had been taken possession of. Ttie French army occupied the heights in front ot the Peninsula. The Telegraphic despatch is dated from the hay to Turetta Chica, June 14, ■and is as follows: The fleet yesterday anchored io the bay ofj Sidi Ferach. ’ Tiie whole ot the army landed today, and now occupy the heights in front o£ the Peuin- sular. We have taken passession of the ene my’s batteries. The head quarters are at Tur- setta Chica. Tnc French election for Deputies was to take place on the 23d A proclamation had been issued by the King, expressing the utmost reg ard for the interests and happiness of his subjects, and exhorting them to perform their duty, regardless of the attempts "ofinaiduoos men” to poison their mind«. j The Norfolk Beacon contains extracts from I letters, dated on hoard the United States’ ships Java, and Warren, at Mahon, May 24th and 27th, from which we select the following: "The squadron arc all here, with the excep tion of the Lexington. The Constellation and Out nrio arrived on Sunday last from Gibraltar, j and vviii sail in about a wc» k for the coast of Italy, where they will probably remain about six weeks, and then return here; at which time Corn. Biddle, it is expoct«d, will have ar rived. The Fairfield will sail in about ten j days for Malta, thence up the Archipelago or i Smyrna. The Warren will remain here until; the Commodore arrives, when she will take on j hoard all those whose term of service has or nearly has expired, and sail direct for the Unit ed States. The squadron is healthy. \ "The Dev of Algiers told ao officer of rank in the United States’ Navy, a few days since after showing him his preparations for defence, that he had 200 000 men to oppose the French, that they had been talking of destroying Al giers; that he was ready for them, nod wished they would come.” All foreign Consuls, saving ours, have left Algiers, and his situation cannot but be regard ed as a most critical one. He had an opportu nity of leaving a few'days since in the Ontario, but declined doing so—now the French Com mander, cruizing before the city, has positive orders to suffer no vessel, whether man of war or not, to pass in, and what will be the situa tion of Mr Lee, if the place should bo taken by assault; he has his wife and children with him The Dey offered his protection as far as it would go, to all foreign Cqnsuls, but none of them, saving Mr. Lee considered the offer worth much. The general belief among the officers is, that if the Commodore was now here, that he w ould go-over to Algiers with all (he squadron and contest the right of entering the harbor with the French Commander. The result of this business will, beyond doubt, have a considerable effect upon our Navy. Should the French succeed, tho neces sity of a Naval force in this sea, will, in some ^measure be obviated. Should the Dey be suc cessful, he will become ten times more hard than ever upon the Christians, as he will, of course, regard his city as impregnable.—New Jersey State Gazette DOMESTIC. THE PRESIDENT AT HOME Extract of a letter to a gentleman in this city, dated Nashville Julv 14. You will have seen before this reaches you, that the President refused Io accept a public dinner, offered to him by the citizens of this place. Yesterday at ten o’clock he attended at the Nasltvillc Inn. where lie saw’ and shook hands with hundreds of his fellow citizens,— Our friend |I. H. had invited the President to dine with him at his new and splendid house, with a number of his old friends. He accep ted Mr II’s invitation, and set down with 7- bout one hundred greyheaded gentlemen, and about sixty or seventy married ladies. It was a company of his old tried friends from difier ent counties, which Mr. II. had invited, and a few strangers from other States It was one one ofthe most pleasing parties aver conven ed—we appeared like a number of brothers who had been long absent, and had met at our younger brother’s house. At half past two o’ clock we sat down to one of the most splendid entertainments ever given here or else where. Upwards of two hundred sat down at the table. The General appeared to be in fine spirits, and enjoyed his meeting with his old friends in the happiest manner. Mr. II. had so fixed it, that at seven o'clock ail the young ladies and gentlemen were to take tea with him; and af ter the old people had broken up, the Presi dent was invited as a guest. This party was given to Mrs, Donelsor» About one thousand young ladies and geutlemen were present, who must all have an introduction. The house was crowded, the rooms being filled and some hundred on the top of the house, which was finely illuminated. I think this houschds bcee built since you was here; it is thought to be one ofthe most splendid build ings in America Seldom has there been more good feeling and cordial affection—The President mingled with the crowd, embracing iue tittle boys ana girts, mnl conversing with the young ladies and gentlemen, as it they were all his own children. He continued a- mong them until ten o’clock, and then retired; shortly after which the company broke up Bisop McKenbree waited on the President at his room this morning, and spent an hour with him in private. He highly approves of hi- course in refusing to accept of public dinners. To-morrow the President is to meet a large number of his frieds at the forks of the Road two miles from this place, at a good spring — They wil he principally Tenncsse farmers, who will testify their gratitude to him tor his noble acts in saving the country from direct taxation by his late vetoes ”—V.

S. Gaz. South Carolina and "State Rights”—In our last we gave our readers the speeches of Messrs. Drayton and Hayne, at the public din ner in Charleston, on the 1st of July, and an extract from that of Mr. Langdon Clieves.-— We now publish entire, the speech of Mr J. Hamilton, Jr which will be found on the pro ceeding page. The present aspect of politi cal affairs in South Carolina can but be looked upon with alarm and sorrow, by every candid and liberal man, and every lover of the peace, happiness and prosperity of his country. The (ire of sectional and political jealousy, which has been for several years smouldering, is now bursting into a flame and spreading its terrors through the land, under the favorite appel- j lation of "Nullification” and "Secession.”—l The unwelcome "calculation ofthe value of; the Union,” is forced upon the public; and the j advocates of this new revolution have gone so j far as to “calculate” the physical ^sources of South Carolina, and the aid and co operation she could expect to receive from the other Southern States, in the event of a civil war. The speakers generally seem, in their re marks, to deprecate the dissolution of the Un ion; but what less can Mr. Cheves mean, when he says:—“the present state of things should not be borne, and ought to be resisted in some way or manner, at any and every haz ard'’—when he hints that the oilier Southern States will co-operafo with South Carolina, and deprecates a separate action on her part as impohtic and premature—that the question with all of them involves great pecuniary and great public rights, “and that it is more impe riously their duly if they rely upon their (:bc Southern Slates) co-operation sti any difficul ties which may involve national force ” to seek such aid before they progress any father. For our part, we would adopt the opinion of Mr. Drayton, in regard to ‘nnllificaton,—“I cannot perceive any substantial distinction between the abrogation of a law of Congress, by a State and tbe separation of that State from the U- nion.” Mr Drayton has ever been a firm and undeviating friend to the South and Southern interest, and no man, perhaps, ever enjoyed a greater share of the confidence of his fellow cit izens than Col. Drayton, and his sentiment thereof, is rather to he received than those of other individuals, whose zeal has outstripped their discretion, by grasping at ton much, rath er than following (he maxim of TH. Jefferson —“patience aud perseverance may achieve much—despair will ruin every thing.” W hatever may be tbc motives and intentions of some of the leading- spirits in this new and violent faction, wc cannot think that such men as Gen. Hayne and J unes Hamilton, Jr are actuated by other motives than tho«e of an ardent, zealous devotion to the good of their country and (heir fellow citizens — From the best information we can glean on the subject of the present excitement in South ■ Carolina, wc are disposed to believe that the! fire-brands of ‘nullification’ and ‘disunion,' which have been so industriously thrown a- mong the people have .is yet tailed in their intended effect. We hare conversed with in telligent gentlemen fom South Carolina, who frankly deprecate the course pursued by some of the leading men in their Slate—and de clare themselves safe in saying, that, tbe ad vocates of the “nullifying” or "disunion” doc trines arc few, very few, when compared with those who sensibly feel the enormous burthen of the Tariff and the limitation of commerce, but who are unwilling to risk their ail upon the “hazzard of a die”—those who have not for gotten even decency, in their complaints, by railing at the General Government in the most opprobrious and aggravating terms, as if every sentiment of allegiance had been eradicated from their minds, and the only alternative was to "stand by their arms” against what thdy arc pleased t * term a Northern confederacy, which stands in the same relation to them now as England did to the colonies, before the Rev olution. Can this be-the case? Is South Carolina really in so deplorable a situation as some of of her self-constituted organs repre sent her? Has the Federal Government "plundered her seas, ravaged her coast, burnt her towns and destroyed the lives of her peo ple?” No; she has been fairly and ably repre sented in Congress, and her voice has been patiently heard. Those laws which have been passed whether of good or evil tendency, have b en unfavorably felt, and in almost the same degree, in all sections ofthe Union, ano the same power which imposed them, we have every reason to hope, will indue time so mod ify as to render the weight equal upon every section. 'The public sentiment which has cv ery where been expressed of the Veto»jfthe President against appropriations from the Na tional treasury, for State or private benefits, and the gradual repeal of the duties on Stilt. Tea, Coffee, and Cocoa, arc favorable indica tions of a change in public opinion, and should go to inspirit them and us with respect for the benign Government under which we live, and form a part. ThC|evils which would result from a divis ion of the Republic nrp too numerous for reci tal—ivc will not "calculate” them: but God forefend their visitation on tbe people of the Union! After a lapse of scarce fifty years, shall the only living signer of our country’s hopes,survive to witn ss the horrors of a civ il war, and close his eves ••upon the fragments of a once glotious Union?” God forbid.—AT.

From the Fcopies Friend. JOSEPH BUONAPARTE. Joseph, Count Survtliiers, Ex-King of Spain lodged at our village Hotel last Monday night, on the way to his lands at the North. i he fol lowing anecdote concerning him is copied from the Commercial Advertiser. "Among the steerage passengers ofthe Fran cois 1st, on her last passage, there was an old weather-beaten grenadier of the Imperial Guard, with the legion oi’*!onor in his button hole, one of L1Q0, who, s.xteen years ago, had followed Napoleon into the Island of E!<>a.— The French police, however knew him—little thanks for it: and the poor fellow was so vexed and harrassed that in order to escape starving, he resolved on leaving hi*> country, lit? did so, and embarked his tnmily on the 2d June, in the Francois 1st. The old (nan’s fate excited a lively interest among the cabin passengers, and they, among other means, advised him to address himself to Joseph Buonaparte, for which purpose they drew up for him a petition. Provided with this, and his military testimo- nails, the old man resolved to seek access to Count Survilliers. Arrived at Ncw-York, he hastens down to the wharf, to enquire into the amount of the'fare to Bordentown, at the very moment when the Philadelphia steamboat ar rives. He boards the boat and looks around for a French face, aud addressed himself to the first gentleman in his way. IIis question is politely answered—lie begins to talk about his intentions—about going to Bordentown, aud the gentleman becomes more attentive and seemingly more interested. At last the gentleman asked the old vrenadier about his paper®, which he examines with the petition Mv friend, said the gentleman, I assign you fifteen dollars a month n= a pension for your hfe time. I am Joseph Buonaparte—you may proceed to Bordentown, where you shall be so provided for t.s to make you forget your past miseries. This scene look place yester day, the 20th of Julv.

La Beniirnn, tho medical' electrician, has mafic a very’ curious discovery„ that the accumulation on the teeth termed ' tartar.’* is occasioned by animacula, which-arr? visible on microscopic examination. Accord ing to this gentleman, they gradually bori’ovr between the teeth and gums, penetrate the en amel, and *-nter the interior of the teeth, there by producing the destruction, termed “curies ” and also toothache. Mr. La Beaume, after nu merous experiments, ascertained that the truo malice acid (the purified acid ofthe crab apple f not only immediately destroyed them, ’out dis solved the mucus collection which protected' them. He. therefore, recommends the teeth to he brushed every morning, and also the tongue, which, when loaded with foul shrnc, is covered with similar animalcnla, with a lo tion composed of malice and rose wafer, and afterwards with the prepared areca-nut char coal. This mode of managing the teeth is ex tremely beneficial, as it not only removes, and when used only once a w^ok, prevents its rc- nccurnulation, but cleanses the tongue and pro duces a relish for food. It-! good effects on the tongue and palate, proceed, in fact, from sympathy, or from a continuous influence trans mitted to the stomach. Tbc irritation pro duced by the animalcnla, and the offensive ef fluvia from them or their surrounding slime, nrohably of a fiscal nature, are extended to the saliva glands; the consequence of which is, that their secretion is unhealthy, and, no doubt, a very common cause of indigestion — Hypocratcs, who, in all cases, paid particular attention to the state of the stomach, was ot similar opinion, that a perfect or good diges? | tion depends as much on the healthy state cT the te^th, as on the sound condition ofthe di gestive organs.
