While on this subject we remark, that the late
intelligence from Poland is liable to create Undue
discouragement among the friends of that unfor
tunate country, many of whom may not he aware
that the accounts which have been published are
chiefly of Russian origin, and of course very deep

^est to you the policy of making the Banks subject to the
payment of a large per cent, upon all sums of their notes,
Urn pay ment of which may be demanded by the holder,
(not being the Agcntof any other Bank or Corporation,)
in specie, which they may omit, or refuse to comply with.
As however, this remedy might not be very effective,
until the evil to be prevented was actually felt, I would
specially recommend t hat you prohibit, the circulation,
after a certain length of time, of all Bank notes under the
value of five dollars. The effect of this measure will be
to make gold and silver supply the- place of the notes,
which will-be thus excluded from circulation, create a
constant supply of specie in the countxy, and thereby en
able the Banks through their debtors to meet occasioned
pressures upon them for s;>ecie, and to .render the whole
currency whether of Bank notes or coin, of equal value.

The United States and Portugal.—The
communications of our Washington correspondent
relative to the trade with Portugal, have been at
tentively considered by our merchants, and have
convinced them,, if before they had any doubts, of
the miserable policy, on the part of both govern
ments, which has caused it to dwindle to a mere*
point. We are in possession of information which
induces us to believe that measures are in a train
to restore this trade to its former footing. When
the whole history of the negotiation shall be re

IlV the taw wuica creates the Central Bank, on ao nications above mentioned, have exerted a more
count of the authority which it gives to the Directors to ! imoortan

respect. The State would also derive from such a mea
sure an additional security against attempts to make the

POLAND.
The last accounts from Poland apprize us of the
dismission of Skrzyuecki from the chief command
<>f the army, and the appointment of General
l’iondz.ynski in his stead. Also of tlie re-appoint-
jnent ot Gen. Krukroviecki as Governor of War
saw, with very extensive powers. What effect
these changes wili/have upon the interests of the
jialion, it is ilitficuitf to foretel. The ground of dis
satisfaction with Skrzynecki, was his alleged ineffi
ciency. But on this point those that are less ac
quainted with tlte difficulties he had to encounter,
-un i perhaps also less wary in their calculations and
plans, arc very liable to misjudge.
Krukott iecki commenced his military career a-
living the Austrian*, whom he quitted in 1806.
He distinguished himself greatly in the battle of
Pultusk, at the head of his battalion. He was one
of the first to declare in favor of tlie national cause,
end displayed great skill m tire military command
of Warsaw preparatory toils defence, lint hav-
iiiil iuiulted tlie Generalissimo Skrzynecki after the
Rattle of Ostrolenka, he was dismissed from office.
O.i being re-appointed Governor of Warsaw with
enlarged powers, his first step was, to retaliate up
on Sd-irzyneehi, by depriving him of the chief
command*. Gen. Prondzynski, the new command
er-in-chief, was, at the time of his appointment,
Quarter Master General under Schrzynecki, and
Is not 35 years of age. Tiie following sketch of
4;is character and history, will be read with social
Ink rest at the present time.
He commenced his military career in 1806. and
panic ularly devoted himself to the science of his
profession, embracing history and general know
ledge as well as tactics. His earliest studies were
■tn the school of Engineers at Warsaw; he then
became aid-ile-catnp to General Peltier, whocom-
iii inded the artillery and engineers of the army of
Warsaw, and now presides over one of the schools
■fir Fhitrmeers in Franoe. Having served with Pel-
liei 1 om 1809, he obtained the decanuion cf the
Gross of Military Merit. Jti 1312 he was promo
ted to the rank of a field-officer, and became the
aid-de-camp of tlie celebrated General Dombrows-
ld. lie retained his rank after the re-establish
ment of tlie kingdom of Poland, in Ids native ser
vice, and held an appointment at the head-quar
ters of the Grand Duke Constantine. As he had
throughout life devoted himselt to a critical exam
ination of every subject connected with the pro
fessional history of Lis country, he had among oth-
« r matters, collected materials for the history of
some of the most illustrious warriors of Poland,
Czarnecki, Zulkiewski, Sobieski, and others. The
substance of this collection lie wished to have com-
, xnunicatcd in a public course to his countrymen,
but was prevented by a stern prohibition from the
•Grand Duke. He wished afterwards, to have pub-
lislted it, but wus again prohibited; and it was with
difficulty that he could remove his work from tlie
jpalous grasp of that prince.
Soon after this, he was employed to determine
Ahe frontiers of the kingdom and of the Empire—
an honorable admission of bis superior qualifica
tions. He was also charged with the superintend
ence of public works; and as he was ever a zeal
ous patriot in its legitimate sense, Ire treasured up
,'ili the information thus acquired, which could con
duce to the national interests in the event of a war
_ of independence.
After Ihe death of Alexander, his name was
(bund in tire list of the Patriotic As social ion; tlie
Grand Duke seized Ihe opportunity ot shutting
liim up in solitary confinement tor four years; but
that he might be still useful, he was required to form
and communicate plans forattaeking iioththe Aus
trians and tlie Turks.
On the breaking out of the present contest; lie
appeared in the ranks of the defenders of ins coun
try, and has been named by the Generalissimo,
quarter-master general of the army. Tlie duties
of this high office he discharges with the zeal and
ability that distinguish his character; and if he be
spared by the enemy’s bullets, be will, without
doubt, maintain Lis high reputation throughout
-this glorious—this unpara lied struggle.
Iu the publication from which we quote, lie is
placed foremost in the list of those whose talents,
services and acquirements, would entitle them, in
the event of the loss of Schrzynecki, to aspire to
the chief command. Although we entertain the
highest opinion of Schrzynecki as a military com
mander, and cannot but regret that the nation
should be deprived of his services in this trying
conjuncture, yet it is possible that under the existing
state of feeling in Poland, the change may be pro
ductive of good to the patriot cause, ratlier than
evil. Much, we are persuaded, is to be expected
from the talents and bravery ol Prondzynski, and
much also from the firmness and decision of Kru-
kowiecki. Of their patriotism there is-not the least
Toom to doubt. Anxious to signalize themselves

Tta-re is another topic to which I have already allud
ed, which but for Its great hygienic bearing on my sub
ject, would not be entitled to a place, here. Its extreme
delicacy challenges the delicacy of language, and lays
under contribution, all its sagacity and chastity. It re
quires some courage to attack tlie foibles of her, over
whose life reigns such a sweet, charming influence, the
very essence of whose nature is, to lore and be beloved.
I allude to the offices of the toUet:—the asylum of woman
sacred to her retired hours:—her retreat from society,
whence she comes forth, trimmed with splendor and gay
ideas, tie rosy tight cf leve playing rciuul her:—so the love
ly arbi tress of morn was supposed to come forth fiesli
from the chambers of Thetis, with Ike chants of the hours
dancing in her train. Its doors, like those of tlie temple
on the Janiculian mount in times of peace, are closed,
and barred to the world. Its utterance is tl ProcuL, O!pro-
cid este profmi”/ It is the quiver, in which tlie arrow of
beauty is returned to repose.
Venus Aphrodisia once being surprised, retired imme
diately behind a cloud, toileting herself; but, by beauti
fully cl anging color, like the clouds, which conceal tlie
Occident sun, it betrayed the beauty it was intended to
h.de. Her sex yet shrink from our sight; but the clouds,
which hang oyer tlie stream of memory, reflect her i/n-
seenness? Wc have seen tlie work of her toilet, thus tho’
a cloud cover it; let us approach its penetralia. What
do you behold there? tl Jin loquar, an taccamP* “Jloreen-
dam visua creature of tiie order of tlie Penates, the
worshiped Deity, of shape and visage unknown to na

Incubated for foul purpose in the court of Louis the

like an Incubus, dosing forever, half asleep, half awake.
Its ;.eriemi mein is that of duiness and sluggishness. La-
Liering haitl for breath, with tumid veins it breathes a
starved existence, the streams of its vitality choked in
the fountains. Its eves are languid, and suffused with
blood, which it conceals by closing the lids, that are beau-
■ : iui in the extreme. Its breath fatid. The internal tor-
res, which w rithe ir, serve hut to increase and animate
ivs Vernal gaiety; for,'although so dull, it has gaiety.

iever did any being before combine such striking con-
radictions and contrarieties; such strange and surprising
beauty, with such squallid, splendid, deformity; all its
’uterna!, tho very contrast of its external, aspect and
physiognomy. The tallness and triinntss of its figure
would seduce the belief of its airiness and agility, but
nothing, in reality, as I have said, can be more dull and
sluggish. Long and aquiline is its beak, tapering keen
ly to a point, to divide and untie the nerves and sinews
c f life; but like the hand, Ivgeanms, which wrote Me ne
te Jccl on the w all of the king of Babylon, it is invisible.
Its atyis are long and sinewy, formed for strength, whose
horrible cincture, where nature meant only the cincture
,f love, is die plague of die 11. ing and die scourge of the
unborn.
In its formation, it surpascs ail the creations of ancient
fancy, flings the sphinx of old Thebes in the shade, it re
sembles a little, the apparatus of mixtiform beings,which
gave sublimity and savage grandeur to the early song of
our species. The abundance and glossy richness of its
piiimagc conceal tlie skeleton ugliness ami deformity of
Hell;* “mother of awful shapes, End direful forms, fright
ful to the rest of God’s creation.” It is tOngueless and
without a voice; for these are not wanted in die place
where it sojourns. I need not suy, it is the genius of the
corsett I am describing.
Tiiis is tlie creature, “die shape half untold,” she cher
ishes with so much tender care and devotion; *Rt sight of
whose real, haggard, monstrous, form; whose putrid,
stenchful wretchedness, her soul would sicken by affright,
and drive upon the empty winds.” And yet she pays
her homage and solicitude. Upon which she lavishes,
with witling hand, all that would bow tiie sujiple knee
of gallantry, and awaken to fierce movement tlie unkin-
dletl /inines of love and tenderness. To please it, she
stifles the cry of suffocating nature, who loves liberty;
parts with the beam, that gives animation and expression
to her eye; and to appease its rapacity, plucks from her
cheek the last, flower, that is ever to bloom there;—plucks
it alas! “to fatten that, which, if it eat all that ere grew
in Paradise or Egypt’s fertile shore, nor flesh, nor goodly
look could wear.” Nay, more: For it she spends whom
months in gloom and languishment; beholds now for the
first time, opened up to view around her, the avenues,
which lead straight to the tom’i. On the one side, fright
ful dropsies, licet complaints, and affection of tlie viscera
press her; on the other, nervous diseases cry, lnrwl after
her, like Furies. She foils; or with slow and languid
pace, advances up wretchedly to her coffin: “Nor dreams
for once that she’s been slain by what she so much loved.”
Nor do the rai&ks of her frightful destroyer, a monstar
in the formation of whose liideous features, nature has
been fairly outdone, suffer by it. Tliey are kept full,
full by her, “whose face so fair and tender i?, that tlie
winds, which roam the open roof of heaven, or kissing
flowers along the vally play, dare not touch, nor beam of
sun:” “whose nerves ao light that even the fly or whirl
ing beetle shake, making an easy conquest.” Will she
not stop, or “instead of men, people the world with cvf-

The stream of life is rolling on toward posterity. Like
tlie cry Polydorus heard on breaking the bough of the
tree from which blood flowed, “spare the unfortu

ecing oj years ne'er prest their flight,” spare! be merci
ful to us who are to te!” "We see the gore on the
beak of that monster you sacrifice to. It is our blood,
got cold before it has being. May 1 with Brqtus say,
“speak, have I offended?” Is tlie weakness of weraari,
loving and beloved, to be through all etas the continual
wort of fortune; and the point, in which sad change and
revolution begin? Through her, is disaster always to do
itn sad and melancholy work? Did a vile reptile, her se

tlie unofficial, sovereign people. They are the on
ly legitimate source of all governmental power, and
I" believe them to be not only capable of self gov
ernment, but of wise self government. Therefore,
my .only hope of retaining their confidence, will be,
in a faithful discharge of iny public duty.
To this, station I bring no spirit of party animos
ity, or political strife. I have no pledges to re
deem, nor vindictive feelings to gratify.—I am now
the servant of all.
I avail myself of this occasion to re-afflrm v. r hat
I stated to the public in February last—that “ it
my most ardent desire to sec the whole people of
Georgia united on the great subjects-of political
interest St principle, which are inseparably connect
ed with liberty and the perpetuation of our Federal
Union. “ The Federal Union must be preserved
and it can only be done, by the General and State
Governments confining themselves witliin their re
spective constitutional spheres.”
Pure patriotism demands of every public func
tionary, a voluntary sacrifice of all political prejudi
ces, vrli’ch may stand opposed to tlie public inter
est. Thus far I make a free will offering of my
own, on the altar of the public goad.
In the presence of that portion ol' my Fellow Cit
izens he*; assembled, and in that ot heaven, I now
under whose direction I labor; and for tlie express
purpose of enableing those who had the charge of
them to exert their Influence to civilize and evan
gelize the Indians. But enter that Mission house
now, and instead of those who have been there for
the sake of disseminating the mild maxims of the
Gospel, you shall behold the soldier in habiliments
of war. Instead of tfie voice of prayer and praise,
you shall hear the music of the Violin! Instead
"of a circle of young immortal beings, listening to
instruction, you shall find "their places occupied
with the ensigns of death. In view of this »p-
appalling picture, I would ask, whether buildings
erected, with the funds of the benevolent, to fur
nish means for imparting to the Indians the rudi
ments of know ledge, tlie arts of civilized life, arid
the principles Christianity, shall be forcibly entered
by a band of soldiers, and by them converteddnto
camps? Shall the avails of a Missionary’s labor,
designed to support bis family and a few Cherokee
children, be seized in open day, and be consumed
as rations for troops and forage for their liorses?—
Shall the apartments of a Mission hoase, secured by
nails and bolts, be broken open, and the property
witliin removed and deranged to suit their con
venience ? _ ...
I submit the decision of these inquiries to the
humanity in our
transac-

The editor of the N. It. Commercial Advertiser, who
has recently visited Philadelphia, says:—‘The case of
Judge Marshal! is one of the most extraordinary ever
known or heard of in the annals of Surgery. One of the
surgeons present at the operation, has stated to us, that
six hundred formationa of gravel, from the size of large *
peas, down to that of small shot, taken from the venera
ble sufferer, were actually counted; and that the who.e
number probably exceeded a thousand. Tbe case was so
difficult, that instead of two or three minutes, the'opera
tion was necessarily protracted to above twenty. Ijot
a groan escaped his li™, nor was there a perceptible
twinge of a muscle. The wonder is, that, subject to so
formidable a complaint, the Constitution of the patent has
not long since sunk under it, or his intellectual vigor
been impaired-’’— Chadeslon Gazette.
