This would, indeed, be a monument worthy of n mother to whom Rome would have raised her statues, and Greece her temples. A perpetual memo rial, its beauties would appeal not to the eye ol the critic, but to the heart of the philanthro pist, and invoke from succeding ages, unceas ing honors for a female, whose power to bicss her sex and country, was not extinguished ev en in the grave. It has been proposed to restrict our app’ica tion to the inhabitants of our own Stale; but we at once disclaim all sectional feelings. The fame of Mrs. Washington, like that of her son, is common property; it is a rich reversion, in which every American has his peculiar inter* e8 (— n o matter where He dreaw his first breath —no matter in what State Her remains are de posited—your interest in their memories is not aleniated by the location of either. The ge nerous impulse of his patriotism, recognized no sectional dictinction—It knew no limit, but the limits ofhis country—let them also be those of our gratitude. Such, then, are the circumstances under which we claim your aid in thed scharge of a debt of gratitude due by you in common with ourselves; such are |he circumstances under which we ask you to save our age and nation from a reproach which our posterity would give millions to wipe away from the escutch eons of their ancestors. The compact which binds us fogetluer as a confederated govern ment, forbids an application for legislative as sistanco--where, then, shall we appeal but to individual iiberality ? - Frequent as are the calls on your bounty, odious as they may be. we will not, in the present instance, permit ourselves to think it even a precarious resort. American Matrons, we call on you to rescue from oblivion the memory and the remains of one of the noblest of your order: Fathers, who watch with all a father’s feelings the ripening promise of your sons, we ask here to realiz; lor an illustrious parent, your own bright ho nor: Young men, who owe all that is elevated in possession, or honorable, ami distinguished in prospect, to a father’s kindness, and a moth er’s love—here prove your estimate of paren tal virtue. Maidens, who seek no power but o- ver th* affections, no homage bat that of the heart—v»o claim for the peculiar virtue of your sex it9 merited reward ; wa appaai to you to vindicate our cause. Americans, whatever relation in life you may sustain, whatever State you may inhabit, if you value the repu tation of your country and her institutions, you will, by your contributions and your inflence, prevent the memory of Mrs. Washington from adding another item to the record of republi can ingratitude. INTERESTING CORRESPONDENCE. (Copy ) Arlington House, Nov, 24, 1830. Sir—Tnis letter will, l trust, convey its own apology. Upon yonr estate near Fredericks burg, rest the remains of Virginia’s noblest Ma tron—The Mother of Washington. The res pect which you have shown towards these ve nerated ashes, does you lasting honor, and claims for you the esteem of all true Ameri cans. But sir, still further tribute is wished to be paid to the i.iemory of her, who was at once the Parent, and the guide in youth, of the first of Mao; and from whose stern, yet lofty and admired precepts, f ho Father of his Country derived that inspiration and character, that led him on to the glories of his after life. Antiquity, proud of such a Matron, would have erected statues to her honour, and hail ed her as worthy of being the Parent and In structress, of a Fabius Maximus or the Scipi- os. It is proposed to remove the Trunins of the Mother to a situation within the walls of sa, cred Edifice—there to be reentouibed beneath a Monument, commemmorative of the life and character of the- most venerable and “ most fortunate of American Matrons, who gave to her country and the world * a Hero without am bition-— a patriot without reproach ’’ It has been thought Sir, that highly as yon are known to prize the relics that *ve such interesting recollections to your domain, yeu might perhaps be induced to yield them to the prayer of the Ia9t but one survivor of Washington's family, and the biographer of his admirable parent. In this hope, L with a view to their re entombment, as before expressed, I have to beg of you the remains, assured that whether fortunate or not, you will duly appre ciate the motives which have urged my pi ay- er. I have the honor to be, sir, with great res pect, your obedient servant. (Signed.) GEORGE WASHINGTON P. CUSTIS. To Samuel Gordon, Esq. [Answer—Copy.] Dear Sir—I am just favored with your let ter of the 24th inst. Being directed to me at Falmouth, it prevented my sopner receiving & answering it. 1 cannot, nor ought I to have, any objection to comply wi'h your request to remove the remains of the mother of General Washington; and will render any assistance in my power, by pointing out the place that I was •hewn by Capt. Lewis. I expect, however, that there are some old people that have been longer residents of this place, and who attend ed the interment, that could point out the spot better than I can. There is no grave stone on the place, nor any kind of mark to designate the precise spot. I remain, dear sir, your most obedient ser vant. [Signed] SAMUEL GORDON. To George Washington P. Custis, Esq. Arlington House, 15th Feb., 183L To John S. Wellford, Wm. J Roberts, Rev. R. Wellford, Tho’s Seddon, James Vass, B*nj. N Barnett. C. C. Wellford, and A. W Morton, Esqrs., Committee, &c. Gentlemen—Having learned that a new Church was about to be built in the city oi Fredericksburg, and it being the wish of cer tain most respectable citizens of Fredericks burg and Falmouth, that the remains of the Mother of Washington should be re-entombed within the walls of a sacred Edifice, I was in fluunced by these causes to address a letter to Samuel Gordon, Esq. on whose estate is the grave of Virginia's noblest Matron, begging her remains, with a view to her re-entombment, as before mentioned. Mr. Gordon has, and in the handsemest manner yielded to my prayer, and l have now, gentlemen, the honor to pro pose, that you receive these venerated ashes, and give them a lasting sepulchre within the Sacred temple you are about to erect, under such Monument, as a general subscription throughout this great, free, and happy Empire, will enable you to raise to the memory of Her, who was at once the Parent, Guide and In structor of tbe Father of his Country aud the First Man. 1 have the honor to be, Gentlemen, Wiih perfect consideration and esteem, Your obedient and humble servant, [Signed] GEORGE-YV CUSTIS. the provincial government end the Pope*® le- to rise against their oppressors.

RUSSIA AND POLAND. The news from Poland is in the highest de gree exhilarating. The Telegraphic accounts were received late on Saturday in Paris, that the Poles had gained a great victory over the Russians in an attempt made on a large scale by the latter to pass the Vistula. The particu lars had not fully transpired; but just before the Chamber of Deputies broke up, the news by this arrival, the r lull supply of foreign J *ar- nals, including London of ine 15!%;hh] Liver- j was brought to General Sahastiani, who com pool of the 19th. It will be seen by tbe very copious extracts we have given, that although the probabilities of a general war have lessened, yet tbe affairs mumcated it with joy to those around him The combat was said to be long and bloody, and the fighting to havo lasted for twenty two hours. Such particulars as have transpired of the N rth of Europe present a most interest- | ate alluded to in the annexed abstract of the mg aspect. Toe Poles in a very brilliant action, gained a signal advantage over Gen G i mar's division of the Russian army, on ihe 31st of March, of which fact the Poish official ac count will he found among onr official extracts There are also reports of another victory, still more brilliant, said to have been obtained on the day following—April 1st—the result of w; ich was the total dess ruction of G dsmar’s corps, and the captivity of himself. These events, together wuh the renewed reports of insurrections in L<thuania au>t Vol hynia—the reported disaffection o'’ Fmoland, and the discontents believed to exist in Russia itself, have imparted high hopes that the va! may yet he successful, fearlu iant Poles may yet he successful, are the odds against whieh they are contend ing. In the battle of March 31st. the Poles seem to have fought like tigers. Nothing couid exceed the celerity of iheir movements, or stand before ihe impetuosity of thi.-ir onsets.. There was another report on the London Ex change on the evening of the»14rh. still improbable, viz—That the victor of the Bal report in the Chamber ol Deputies. Wilna is likewise in insurrection in the rear of the Russian army, and directly on the line of their communication with St. Petersburg!) The insurgents (as they are styled in the Ber lin S f ate Gazette of the 2d inst ) were upon the frontiers of tbe Prussian Provinces. Their ciuef station, when the lasf accounts left, war in the district of Augustow, on the banks of the Nemen. At the same time we learn that the Russian General Jernialoiv, who formerly commanded (be Rus'-iau army on the Persian frontier, where be was displaced by Pascovitsch, has raised the standard of insurr ction on the hanks as of tbe V dga, and by a proclamation invited the Russians to look out for a constitution for them selves, as other nations were engaged in do ing.

The spirit and vigorous manner :n which the operations of the beaten divisions of Diehitcn’g army have been followed up. have completely discomfitted that hold and skillful leader’s nr rangements, and the reported insurrection -n the provinces in h*s rear und on his flanks, of which there seems little reason to doubt, mu?t compel him to a retrograde movement, which he will not he able to execute without extreme difficulty and severe loss. The fol lowing-arn the accounts received of the-opera tion subsequent to the victory of the 31 .it M.arch, mentioned in another column:— It is reported that tiie P iles have gar.^d a new and important victory over the Russians at Grosno; that the corps of General G i mar been deprived and which had been deposited at Roznyn. were advancing against Georgen* burg from winch place a g it number of in habitants had fl.nl to the Ru-«ian torrilo*y On t Hor wav to Gcorgenburg ! he insurgents are said to h ;ve destroyed and plundered se veral s rnall places in the government of YViiua. and to have repulsed several bodies of Cos sacks, sent against them.

The Polish comrnan der-in chief was informed of the negligence of the Ru<-sians at Wawer and Groehow in their csintonnjcnts and camp.

A British courier, who was on lhe road to St. Petersburg, had thought it prudent to slop at Polangen. It was s-»id that a Rusaian courtor with despatches to the army in Poland, had been se.zed by the insurgents, his despatches opened and then bis head cutoff The regu lar medium of communication had b**en sus pended, and.the rising against the government of Russia tboughout VoJhynia, CourJand, and Lithuania, was expected to become general.— The insurgents were to intercept all communi cations from Danizic, from wtience the Ru9 sian Army in Poland received rqost of their sup plies. The contents of the letters from Memel were heard with great satisfaction by persons engaged in Russian trade. The insurrection in Italy is completely sub dued, the Austrian troops having restored the whole of the temporary deposed authorities, in tbe several state? of Modena, Parma, and the Popedom; and no explanation afforded, ac cording to the expectations which M. Sebastia- ni held out to the Fr«ncb Chamber of Depu ties. A treaty has been concluded between non.

The moral impression which this victory, by which at least 20.000 Russians are put hors du combat. will make, especially in the provinces in the rear of the army, is incalculable, for their fa natic priests, Ns formerly m Spain ami Tyrol, excite the peasant to insurrection, and these avaga hordes increase to such threatening masses that the Rus^i^n ciytl officers and fron tier posts are obttg d to take refuge ir. the Prus sian territory.—Hamburg Correspondent The private letters received in London on Monday by Th'** Harot/urg steam boat from va- ri ais p-»rf? ot Poland, Russia, and Prussia, fully b ar out the success ot the Poles The pro gress ot tbe revolution in Lithuania would ap pear to be (Pv**n more rapid than is to be in ferred from the accounts mthe German papers A letter from Memel, of the 1st inst states >e overthrow of the Russian authority ir* YVilaa to he complete The first impulse to the popular m .v* uients was given by the priests, who carried their enthusiasm to the extent of exhorting from the pulpit the people persons in Lithuania holding authority under the Emperor had been displaced, and scarce ly any troops existed to offer opposition, as the greater part had been drangh'ed off for the invasion of Warsaw. About 200 Russian troops had arrived in Memel as fugitives, in a most destitute condition. The insurgents were directing their march in considerable force towards Polangen, where a depot of arms and of valnable property existed. Some letters say that symptoms of disaffection have been mani fested in Finland also, and that the fidelity of the troops stationed in that province was doubt ed. In addition to the accounts in the Polish Gazette, the private information from Ham hmg states, that the battle of the 31st was re newed on the 1st inst and terminated m a brd liant victory; the Russians having lost 12,000 prisoners, 23 pieces of artillery, 5 stand of col ors, aud nearly the whole of their arms, bag gage, and ammunition. Among the prisoners is said to be a Russian General and Li- four Aides de Camp. Nothing seems left for Gen. Dtebilscb, according to the Hamburg accounts but a speedy retreat, and that under circuit) stances so difficult as to call into action all the known energy and resources of his character. It is impossible to describe the delight which these glorious efforts of the brave Poles have caused on the Exchange ot London. They are tbe theme of universal admiration. OFFICIAL BULLETIN. Warsaw, April 1. The Commander-in-chief having learned that Marshal Diebitsch had divided his forces, and only left a small corps of his army to observe the capital, took the resolution to pass with a great part of his to the right bank ot Vistula. .After having previously sent General Uminski towards Ostrolenka to keep in check the corps of General Sacken and the Guards who were advancing there, he quitted Warsaw during the night of the 30th ult., and attacked at Wawer the corps of Gen. Geismar. who were then intrenched in very strong and ad vantageous positions. While the advanced guard of the Polish army was engaged in com bat with four regiments ot Russian infantry, Gen. Sybinski appeared with his division on the enemy’s right, attacked it by storm, and carri d at point of.the bayonet all its redoubts and en trenchments. Ha destroyed an entire regi ment, forced another to lay down its arms, took three cannon, two standards, and drove the e- nemy into a precipitate retreat. In this com hat, whiefi lasted more than two hours, the bri gade commanded by Col. Romarino particular* • v distinguiiliaikitself. The enemy, forced to qui: very advantageous positions, which were guarded & fortified since the 19th of February, -ctreated to Milosna, where it attempted to oake a 9taod, but was compelled to yield un ler the fire of our infantry, which crossed it from both sides. As tbe enemy was return ing towards Minsk, he received fresh reinforce ments; he then made many attempts to main- am good positions, which the ground present ed to him; but all assistance on his part proved useless- Our troops pressed him rigorously, and he did not stop at Dembewielkie, where he rejoined the corps of General Rosen, which occupied there a military fortified position. It was then 5 o’clock in the evening, when the resistance had become obstinate. The corn- hat lasted till 10 o’clock at night. Our arid- 'ery occupied the position of the centre, our Tirailleurs, fired from both sides, the fire was lively and well sustained, but after a contest of some hours the enemy was routed, his positions abandoned to our troops, and he fled with preci pitation. H.s loss rau«t have been very consid •arable—it is estimated at 20®0 killed, and a? many wounded. Many officers have fallen, igiong others the Colonel Commandant of the \Vilna Regiment. We have made 6000 pris oners, for whole battallions wrere forced to lay down their arms, & we are every instant hear mg, that during the present day, additional prisoners are hourly bringing into head-quar ters We have taken twelve pieces of cannon, and i great many wagons of ammunition, and a good deal of arms. The regingent of Fau- cheurs (svethemen) having demanded arms; we have assigned to them those left by the en emy on the field of battle; they went to seek h* m; and are returning armed with muskets. Pile combat having lasted till ten o’clock^at night, and the army being fatigued after twen- ty-foor hours hard marching and fighting, it was impossible to pursue the enemy. "Nevertheless, the effects of this combat promise us immense results, for tho Comman der in chief, conformably to the plan which be bad so happily conceived, proposes to attack Ihe di-persed cantonments of Marshal D e bitsch, and to separate him from the line of bis reinforcements. YVe hope that this mill iary operation so well and ably combined, will lead to important results, and assure a com plete victory to the noble defenders of liberty and national independence. “Tbe President ot the national government Prince Czartorioski; M Becryckowsi, Member of the Government; -and Count Malachowski, Minister of Foreign Affairs, accompanied tile Commander in Chief since the commencement of the affair un i! nightfall, and after having shared his dang rs, they have been witnesses of tbe triumph with which he crowned this me morable day.” The following is the letter of the Generalis simo, written from the camp of Dembewielke, the 31st of March, at ten o’clock at night — [Dembewielke is four miles, German, from Warsatv, and one from Minsk ] “TO THE NATIONAL GOVERNMENT. “Before I inform you ol the important events of this day, I must premise, that as the army has fought and marched during the whole day, it is impossible to collect all the particular re ports so as to render a full account of the affair. Forced to postpone this ilutv to a more leisure moment, 1 hasten to communicate to the Gov ernment the general result. “This day the advanced guard of the nation al army precipitated itself upon the corps ef Genernl Geisraar, which occupied a strong,po- ition at Wawer. After a combat of two hours, his corps was beaten and pursued upon the toad to Minsk. Every wheie as the enemy, aided by Iresh reinforcements, which he contin ually received, wished to profit by the posi- ( ions which thislroad so often presented to him, bis efforts only drew upon him additional losses. Finally the whole corps of General Rosen unit ed at Dembewielkie, endeavored to stop 09; but tbe battle which we fought there ended in the entire defeat of tbe enemy, and the carry ing <>f all his positions “During this day, so glorious to tbe Polish arms, the enemy has suffered a considerable loss. More than 5000 or 6000 of his men have been killed and wounded, as far as we can judge at ibis moment. “Among the prisoners are General Lewan- dorski, and a great number of superior and other officers.—We have taken 2 standards, 15 pieces of cannon-—of which a pari have all their harness—fifteen wagons filled with am* munition, and some thousands ol muskets. “This victory is the more advantageous to (he Polish arms, inasmuch as it has not been bought on our side by any very considerable loss. This is attributable to tbe surprise oft be sodden attack which we made—an attack which we followed up throughout the day with the greatest rigor. Maoy of the enemy's bat* tai ops were cut to pieces on the field ot battle, others were made prisoners in a body. Being above 20 hours on bor-ebnek, il is impossible for me to furnish a more complete report. I only pray of the National Government to order a solemn service, to thank God for having de* signed to shed his blessing upon our arms. “The Commander-in* Chief “SKRZYNECKI.” The Paris papers of April 11th, state that new and decisive victories had been obtained over the Russians on the 2d of April, of whom 6,000 have been made prisoners, beside 26 pieces of cannon. This news rested on tho authority of a despatch from Strasburg but ivas confirmed by other collateral reports-— The insurrection in Lithuania seems to be pla ced beyond a doubt. YViina is in possession of the national forces, who, after having re* captured all the arm9 taken from theoff pro ceeded to Georgenburg, driving the Cossack) before them out of every village iu the route. Other bodies, armed and organized, have shown themselves in the environs of Taurogen. The other reports which were prevalent in Pari? on Tuesday, were, that Courland was in insurrection: that the Grand SeigQtor had posi- vely refused to pay the last instalment of his tribute to Russia, and was still pushing his mili tary preparations; and that the Kibg ofSwe* den, thinking this a favorable season for taking advantage of the distractions of .the Autocrat, was -meditating an attempt for the recovery of Finland, which his predecessors had lost to Russia. A communication had been opened between the Poles and the Turks, and.an Am* bassador was actually upon hit way from War saw to Constantinople, to rouse the Porte to a co-operation. ' Considerable stress had been laid ripon a Ukase published in the St. Peters burg Gazette, by which the Emperor disban ded the Finnish Rf gimpnt of Carabineers, a) showing distrust of tne fidelity of that prov ince These reports, savoring as they all did ot war, had had the effect of rather depressing he Funds in Paris. The French papers seem to calculate with increased fconfidence on a favorable issue of the campaign to the Poles. The JWcssager contains a long article to prove the great ad vantages which the Patriots will acquire by be ing able, as they now are, to ect upon the of- f nsive against the Russians. The German ac counts in these papers state that the Russians, upon the 2d instant, attempted to cross the Vistula, near Pulaway, but were repulsed, which is an admission of the victory. INSURRECTION AMONG THE OTTOMANS. Tbe German papers received in London, of the 14 b, contain intelligence of an insurrection ki the Ottoman Empire, which, if true to the extent staled, must be fol lowed by important consequences. We copy the follow ing from the Time* of the 14th: “Frontiers of Sertia, March 17. “Since the suppression of tbe Albanian insurrection, Peschid Pocba has devoted himself with the greatest earn estness to the advancement of his private interests, aq4 ha» paid very little attention to public affairs. The tran quility which appeared ev ry where to exist, and tbe false assurances of fidelity, daily given by_ the Chieftains of the Albanian a*id Bosnian tribes, so completely lulled him in to security, that he b**d not the slightest apprehension of the plots which the Pucbus of Sentarf and TravniU hatched almost before his eyts; and which have for their j ct nothing less thdn the dethroning of the Sultan.— Winle neither Reschid Pacha, nor any of the persons a- bout him dream- d of the danger which was threatening the Vizier or the Sultan, one of the most formidable re bellions which ever visited the Turkish empire, suddenly broke out. The whole of Albania. Bosnia, and part of Macedonia, are in insurrection. The Pacha of Sentarf is at the head of the movement. He has gone to the frontiers of Alba nia, and Macedonia, and assembled cor®s there, wit!) which be is to march to Constantinople; while the Pach£ of Traveuik, with his troops and several thousand Rosdi- ans is marching against Reschid Pacha. Reschid can not possess ir fficicnt means for his own defence; and as t<» his making a movement in favor pf tbe threatened capi tal, that is quite o**t of the question. In a word, ihe situ ation of thi. Sultan is most serious. The re-establish ment of the Janissaries, is the rallying cry of the rebels, who are said to be in«tigaled by foreign influence. The regular troops, on which tbe Sultan perhaps can alone re ly, are barely suffici* nt to hold Constantinople in check, if the insurrection has ramifications there. Indeed those troops have on every occasion, shown less courage than ’he irregular militia, wboagp excited by their fanaticism and rapacity, to vengeance and plunder. “The East will thus again become the object of politi cal interest; but unfortunately, it will also again be th® theatre of a mast melancholy effusion of blood. ‘‘Hitherto the Sultan has delayed to all appearance de signedly, tbe payment of the war contributions to Russia; and he also endeavors by starting all kinds of difficulties, to avoid the re-incorporation of the detached districts will) Servia. ‘ Upon the whole, since the departure of the Russian army, he has carried his head very high, end he seems to forget that his existence has been protracted solely by the moderation of Russia. “The warlike preparations which have for some time past been made by the Por-te, are chiefly confined to the naval service, and appear to be connected with an exten sive plan.” Accounts have been received from Constantinople to tbe 22d February. They state that the Turk is reforming all his institutions, and giving equal privileges to Mussel- mans and Christians. An edict to this effect has been is sued, so that the sound of reform is already re-echoed from (he shores of the Bosphorus! One letter aays that an \lgetine vessel, bearing the tri colored flag, had lately en tered the harbor of Constantinople. Tbe Captain’s char ter, which was delivered to him at Algiers, by the French Consul, qualified as French subjects the Captain and crew who were all Algerines, and of.course Musselmen. Toe occurrence caused a great sensation among tbe Turks, because it waa the first visible demonstration to them of the conquest and possession »f Algiers by the French. FRANCE. The Paris dates are to the 13th of April. The trials ot the conspirators were not concluded in Faris; but no doubt seemed to be entertained of their acquittal. On Monday the Chamber of Peers brought to a conclusion the trial (par contumaee) of the Barons d’Haussex, Ca- pelle, and de Montbel, the Ex-Ministers, who have esca ped from France. The sentence was as follows:—The Court declares* “The Barons d’Haumex, Capelle, and d* Mentbel, guilty of the crime of treason;
