Since, so far as we can understand, from direct obser vation and analogy, Nature’s way ol doing bu siness, that when she desires to accomplish a- ny particular purpose, she every where labors under a sort of mechanical necessity, so that b -fore she can look for or expect this purpose, she must first prepare its executing instrument: we should believe, whether we can behold them or not, that every diversity of instrumen tality harmonizes and bespeaks a correspond ing diversity of effects or phenomena. This rule then becomes established: That every change of structure we see in the living economy, tells, and has an individuality in die functions, or a distinct function attached to it, and that nature varies the structure only, for no other purpose, than to vary the functions or og gregate effects of the vital economy The final cause of these functions, we shall presentlv see, when we speak of that, which gives rise to, and determines the animai forms. ' What then shall I say of the three sorts of substances, in which contractility resides. That thev all have but onefunction contraction, as physiologists teach? Certainly not. rrUfig" y/flo'Tje "d /sc o ve red, ° Y vent ur eTo say, some unborn philosopher, treading in the path of nature, will behold the clue and tra verse successfully the Cretan Labyrinth of pathology, view more clearly the connection of vital causation, reveal the therapeutical pros pect and hope of life; and if he do riot here re alize the vision of that divine personage, who combines in herself, immortal youth and beau- of whom I have spoken, he will enjoy the the characterisiTcs of his country, pauses in the midst of his despatches, to describe the “magnificent spectacle,” afforded to the army by this explosion. The number killed oo the part of the French were small. But one offi cer was severely wounded, and that one was the son of the Count de Bourmont himself.—* The terms in which he mentions this fact do him credit—“Only one officer has been dan- gcrouly wounded: it is the second of four sons that have followd me into Africa. 1 am in hop?s that he wifllive to serve his King and his coumrv,” A lumor was given in the Jour nal dcs Debats the 3d. ultimo, that a still la ter despatch had been received from Bour- mont dated uaitt the walls ol Algiers bat the papers of the folloving day «i>» nothing orth.s alledged intelligente. . , glmong the spoils ol the victory of tn°- -* in Masquer® is ft roan of-gofid education, and of ”och integrity, and 1 could not have bel.eved that he would have yielded to the lOtrigues Q f * * * * * .

The stories which have been published by his enemies, or rather those who want his place, are vile calumn ies. The same gang are seeking to have Medina recalled as I nm am informed. The assassination of Gen. Su- cre, decidedly the first man after the Liberator in Colombia, has excited much feeling here, and may lead to important results.—From Bo gota we hear that nearly all the assassins of Thr> armv nvsreI the 25th of Sept. 1826 whose sentence was 1 DC ftTWy I . 1 i* tn hnnichmpnt hnv< w-re four thousand oxen, me rttuI J V"'; j changed from death to banishment, have re applied abundant I j with water of an excelled o are aClhre| eogage d in the exces- quality. 1 hey continued in good health, but „ nd the I uror a <Vc. published in Bogota, hold the assassins who were executed 1826. and Cordova who was recently killed as as a traitor, as martyrs to Liberty. The par ty have persecuted Gen. O’Leary as the au thor of-Cordova’s death, and it is probable that to the proper energy displayed on the oc casion by Undanetta, may he traced tbeir de nunciations of him. qu five cases of fever laving occurred, and little other sickness. The loss of the Turks in the several engage, ments that had taken place between them and the French, is supposed to have been very heavy, though it could not be computed or conjectured with any probability, owing to their custom of their carrying off their slain and wo<nded. A story is told of one of the wound ed who, falling into the hands of the French. was isked why they (the Algerines) treated their prisoners so ill. “Kill me,” answered the resolote musseltnan. “but do not spend time in asking such questions.” Another Turk. Having received a wouua m iiie mutie delibe rately drew Jis dagger and stabbed himself, to avoid fallinginto the power of the enemy. From a despatch of Count Bourmont’s, dated Sidi Ferruct, we translate all the passages of special intertst as follows:— “Since the battle of the 19th, the enemy only >how a few scattered detachment?.

From every part of the fabric of nature, mighty movements rush forth, and fall upon the frail and delicate mechanism of life. And jet wc see it toss along unextinguished from generation to generation in the Ocean of Time, amid the rushing impetus of worlds. Nay, in these worlds, whose rude motion it stems, it has a deep interest, and in them the founda tions of its being were first laid. The fire, that was to warm it, we see built up in glori ous and inextinguishable brilliancy in a remote part of the universe, that the air, it was to breathe might remain near it. The planet, which nourishes it. wanders forever round this fire, perhaps beside cheering warmth, that her atmosphere might perpetually imbibe from the inlerstellary spaces, through which she passes, some fresh ethereal spirit, some dainty cordial to refresh and regale it And I he stars, in their clear beams, may rain nectar, which in corporates itself with the seeds of plants, and other alimentary substances, imparting to them delicious fragrance and juciness to exalt their nutricity, and delight its taste.

It is probable that attracted by the springs, which are there found, and the excellent quality of the waters, the Arabs frequently pitch tents there, and that this circumstance alone has attracted the attention of travellers and geographers — We at first supposed from assertions of those who had been long in Algiers, that we bad for ced, the enemy’s camp at Stronelli: but com paring distances and the sight a few houses which appear to be comprised in the circle of gardens which surround Algiers, have created my, and become themselves stimulators to the were questioned, and it appears positive Sidi vital forces.

INDIAN HOSTILITIES. Tuscaloosa, (dla.) Juki 29—VVe learn by tu* ^ftrpen County U izette, that ontbe 14th inst at ihe Factory in the-Choctaw Nation, about 15 miles from Eric, a serious disturbance took place which threatened much bloodshed, between two parlies of Indians under the influence of Mushulatubba and Laflore. The fallowing particulars are taken from the Gazette: The differences existing between Mushulatubba and Laflore, has existed for some time, which arose in the first place from a disposition held forth by Laflore, to christin- ize the Chocktaw nation of Indians, in which he erred, by exercising his authority to the utmost extent, which of fended many of the people of the nation. Some of the oposition party burnt a large number of religious boi-ks, and one or two churches. Another difference, which a- rose out of the election of Mushulatubba as chief of the Southern district of the nation; and of h>« opposing the views of Laflore, in selling the lands to the United States, with a provision of reserving to himself, Folsom and oth ers, large and valuable tracts. To which, Mushulatubba ami beside, by each of its properties separate ly, which, in corpuscular bodies, are capable cf endless modification from the activity of their affinities or modifiers. What adds to its domi nation, and greatly widens the sphere of its in fluence is, that the single action, of any body upon life, becomes doubled by life s reaction—— separates into two to be distributed through its economy, the on- of contraction, and the other of sensation. The actions then of all physical bodies impressed upon it, becomes two in its reaction, constituting two distinct ami separate classes, and named in relation to their effects, are contractiferous and idcaific. A circumstance not yet noticed, that 1 know of, is, that diversity of organic structure, does rot modify the phenomena of contraction, while it does in so decided and eminent a degree, those of sensation. Thus, by the three sorts of organized substance, fibrin, jelatine, and al bymen, in which contractility appears to be es scntially resident, the action of a body seems to uadergo tro variation or multiplication; the er ideas and call them up in trains, multiplies to a prodigious extent the indirect influence, which bodies exercise upon life Thus the tomb, where her heroic lover lay, when she looked upon it, sped instantly the shaft of death, and the young and beautiful Princess of Greece fell a sacrifice—died of her memory. Who can surv.-y its dark and extensive range, or count the stimulations of physical matter, operating by its form, its gravity, its affinities, its extension, its inertia; by its smooth ness, its roughness, its elasticity, its hardness, its softness: by its colour as in vision its sapi dity in gusfation its aroma in olfaction, its sounds in audition—in the shapes of coloric, light, galvanism, electricity, magnetism, pro ducing coniractionsthrough contractility, ideas through sensibility, which accumulating in the panopticon of the brain, radiate back to the vi tal properties, agitating the economy, exhalt- ing, depressing it. with all that exist betwpen hope and despair, s irrotv and thrilling beatifi cation? (Concluded in our next.') 19th. Thus the position which is now occu pied by the division* Berthene and Loverdo is midway between Sidi Ferruch and Algiers. On leaving the camp there is no longer brushwood to be found There are a few fir, olive and mulberry trees however to be seen, T he soil is almost every where covered with dwarf palm trees. It is uncultivated, but na ture justifies all that has been said by ancient historians of its fertih’v. A short league from Sidi Khalil, towards Algiers, the country is well cultivated. The army will find there many fruits and vegitables The loss suffer ed on the 19th was greater thau expected The number dead is 44 in the first division 13 in the second, party, amounting 1 to about or.e thousand warriors, of tbi* number between two and three hundred were *rmed, had encamped only a small distance trom the Factory; the agents were distributing to each bis portion with as little delay as possible, to let them depart to their homes. Information has been received that Laflore, tvitb a par ty of about 1500 warriors had arrived; between eight or nine hundred of his men were armed, four or five hundred bad muskets, and many of those who had not guns, had prepared themselves with warclubs, (the emblem of war,) spears, knives &c. in the mean time Leflore bad sent a messenger to Mushulatnba informing him that if he did not consent to give up his commission, that he (L.) would fall upod him, and would not desist while he retained hfe. Two hours were given for bis decision. To this message Mushulatubba paid the utmost contempt. Two or three messages of the same import, at different times, were given to (M.) and to all of which he gave answers of the utmost disdain and defiance. His men were all anxious for a contest. Laflore’s warriors were all painted, and expressed much anxiety to fight* This may de considered as :-n outrage, as Laflore must have come at least 200 miles for the purpose of chastising (VI.) f >r his unbelief. Thg Chocktaws are divided into two districts, the upper district is under the control of Laflore; and the lower dis trict is under that of Mushulatubba.—1'he Choctaw ua- limits of the State of Mississippi; and they have in this State a tract of Land which is about 70 miles long and 20 wide. ° •‘honors/’ rather than oppose the priDCip.es of —nullification But let Mr. Calhoun ipea k for himself, the follow ing « one of the toasts at the Pendleton celebration. the Hon. John C Caihoun, Vice l resident of the United State*—Consolidation aud dis- union—the two extremes of our system, they are both equally dangerous and ought both to be equally the objects of our apprehension.” In the language of Col. Drayton, there can be no " substantial distinction between the ab> rogation of a law of Congress, by a State, and the separation of that State from the Union. Nullification is, in fact, disunion. Substitute the former for the latter then, in Mr Calhoun’s toast, and it comes directly in conflict with that given in honor of him at the Charleston dinner There must be a mistake somewhere.

One beautiful afternoon, the Captain perceived a distant sail, and after he had gratified his curiosity, he po litely offered his glass to his Jpasscnger, that she might obtain a clear view of the object.— Mrs B. had the baby in her arms; she wrap ped her shawl about the little innocent, and placed it on a sofa upon which she had been sitting. Scarcely had she applied her eye to the glass, when the helmsman exclaimed, “Good God! see what the mischievous monkey has done.” The reader may judge of the fe male’s feelings, when, on turning round, she beheld the animal in the act cf transporting her beloved child apparently to the very top of the mast! The monkey was a very large on©, and so strong and active, that while it grasped the infant firmly with one arm, it climbed^thc shrouds nimbly by the other, totally unembar* rassed by the weight ofits burthen. One look was enough for the terrified mother, and that look had well nigh been her last, and had it not been for the assistance of those around her, she would have fallen postrate on the deck, where she was soon afterwards stretch ed apparently a lifeless corpse. The sailors could climb as well as the monkey, but the latter watched their motions narrowly; and as it ascended higher up when they attempted tr
