Ths United Statrs- and Portugal.—The
communications of our Washington correspondent
relative to the. trade with Portugal, liave 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 lias caused it to dwindle to a mere
point. We are in possession of information which
induces us to believe that tneaedres are in a train
tq restore-this trade to its former footing. When
the whole history of the negotiation-shall be re
vealed, it will probably be found tliat the commu
nications above mentioned, have exerted’a more
important influence at the Court of Lisbon, than
the hostile fleets of England and Erance. We
have reason to know that all the early communica
tions *on this subject which appeared in our col-
uqpas, ] iav e found their; way to Lisbon, and produ
ced a most favorable impression upon the mind of
the Portuguese Sovereign. We are also led to be
lieve, that under the affluence of thedb feelings, he
applied, a few mouths since, through his Repre
sentative at Washington, for the appointment of
some Agent on the part of the American govern
ment, with instructions to conclude a Commercial
Treaty at Lisbon. To this application the Presi
dent replied, that he could receive no propositions
from the Portuguese government, until it should
indemnify American citizens for the captures ofl
Tereeira: that he contemplated no force, but
should expect this evidence from the Portuguese
government, of a proper respect for the American
rife*.

Messrs. Editors.—I observe a communication in the
Recorder, as an enquiry concerning the progress of the
proposed Teacher’s Convention. For the information of
many others, as well as the authors of the communica
tion referred to, permit me to state, that a majority of
those who seem to take an interest, in the matter, are in
favar of Milledgeviile as the place, and sometime in De
cember as tlie period- It will perhaps be well to present
to the oqmmunity, the advantages which we consider will
be likely to result from such a Convention. No one, we
presume, will deny, that some uniformity in the system
and views of Teachers is loudly called for by many cir
cumstances in connection with common schools. No pa
rent can fail to observe the unnecessary waste of money
m purcliase of a new Set of books for every change
of Teacher or school. Akho’ we are not so sanguine as
to believe, that these evils can immediately be removed;
vet wc are convinced, tliat the convention will tend great
ly to effect the end desired, and at length succeed in
establishing a uniform system, as it regards the course
and materia). We propose tliat the convention proceed
to the formation of a Teacher’s society for the State of
Georgia, which shall petition the Legislature for incorpo
ration—the society haying, for its object, the promotion
of die cause of-Learning, in every shape, ana more es

POLAND.
The last accounts from Poland apprize us of the
dismission of Skrzynecki from the ciiief command
Ol' the army, aud (be appmaummt of Generali hvK^T”'w'S,
Prondaenski in Iris stead. SL) of Ihe re-appoint- 1 Y ‘ »'> P ra “*— Com
meat of Gen. Krukowiecki as Governor of War
saw, with very exteusive powers. What etiect
these changes will have upon the interests of the
nalion, it is iiilfeiiit tu furetel. The ground of dis-
Siilistaction with Skrzynecki, was his alleged ineffi
ciency. But on thi* {joint those that are less ac
quainted with the difficulties he had to encounter,
and perhaps also less wary in their calculations and
plans, are very liable to misjudge.
Krakow iecki commenced his military career a-
mong tlie Austrians, whom he quitted in 1806.
He distinguished himself greatly in the battle of
Fultusk, at the head of his battalion. He was one
of tlie first U» declare in favor of the national cause,
and displayed great skill in the military command
of Warsaw preparatory to its defence. But liav-
iitg insulted the Generalissimo Skrzynecki after tlie
battle of Oolroieiika, he was dismissed from office.
On being re-appointed Governor of Warsaw with
enlarged powers, his first step was, to retaliate up
on Schrzyiiecki, by depriving him of the chief
command. Gen. Prondzynski, the new command-
er-ui-chief, was, at the time of his appointment,
Quarter Master General under Schrzynecki, and
is not 35 years of age. The following sketch of
jife' character and history, will La read with special
interest at the present time.
He commenced his military career in 180G, and
particularly devoted himself to the science of bis
profession, embracing history and general know
ledge as well as tactics. His earliest studies were
at the school of Engineers at Warsaw; he then
became aid-de-camp to General Peltier, who com
manded the artillery anil engineers of the army of
Warsaw, and now presides over one of tlie schools
for Engineers in France. Having sort ed with Pel-
tier from 1809, he obtained the decaration of the
Cross of Military Merit. In 1812 he was promo
ted to the rank of a field-officer, and became the
aid-de-camp of the celebrated General Dorobrows-
ki. He retained his rank after the re-establish-,
meat of" the kingdom of Poland, in his native ser
vice, and held an appointment at the head-quar
ters of the Grand Duke Constantine. As he had
throughout life devoted himself to a critical exam
ination of every subject connected with the pro
fessional history of his country, he had among oth
er matters, collected materials for the history of
some of the most illustrious warriors of Poland,
Czarnccki, Zuikiewski, Sobieski, and others. Tlie
substance of this collection he wished to have com
municated in a public course to his countrymen,
but was prevented by a stern prohibition from the
Grand Duke. He wished afterwards, to have pub
lished it, but wus again prohibited; and it was with
difficulty that he could remove bis work from the
jealous grasp of that prince.
Soon after this, he was employed to determine
thy frontiers of the kingdom and ot" the Empire—
an honorable admission of his 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, he treasured up
ftli the information tlius acquired, which could con
duce to the national interests in the event of a war
of independence.
After the death *f Alexander, his name was
found in the list of the Patriotic Association; the
Grand Duke seized the opportunity of shutting
him up in solitary confinement for four years; but
that he might be still useful, he was required to form
and communicate plans for attacking both the Aus
trians and the Turks.
On the breaking out of the present contest; he
appeared in the ranks of the defenders of his coun
try, and has been named by the Generalissimo,
quarter-master general of the army. The duties
of this high office he discharges with the zeal and
abilitv that distinguish his character; and it he be
spared by the enemy’s bullets, he will, without
doubt, maintain his high reputation throughout
this glorious—thisunparalled struggle. .
la the publication from which we quote, he is
placed foremost in the list of those whose talents,
services «in%i accjuircnicnti*, would entitle tliero* in
the event of the loss of Sellrzvnecki, to aspire to
the Chief command. Although we entertain tlie
highest opinion of Schrzynecki as a military com
mander, and eannot but regret that the nation
should be deprived of his services in this trying
conjuncture, vat it is possible that under the existing
state of feeling in Poland, the change may be pro
ductive of good to the patriot cause, rather than
evil. Much, we are persuaded, is to be expected
from the talents and bravery of Prondzynski, and
much also from die firmness and decision of Kru-
kowiecki. Of tlieir patriotism there is not the least
room to doubt. Anxious to signalize themselves

THE CHEROKEE GUARD —The following
extract from a letter written by the Rev. John
Thompson, a missionary lately stationed in the
Cherokee country, gives additional evidence of the
improper conduct of the guard employed in that
territory.

or four days and was then discharged, while the
only ostensible cause lor this treatment was, that
he happened to meet the Guard on the public road
and said some things which they received as “in
solent language.” 1 have seen another Minister of
the Gospel who did not ride out of sigiit of tlie
Guard at the order of their Commander, receive,
from him a severe blow on the head.
Recently I have visited the mission station which
I have l»een compelled to leave for the present on
account of the proceedings of Georgia, which ap
peared to have received the sanction of the Execu
tive of the United States. I found the mission
house occupied by a number of the Guard. A
Cherokee family which I had placed there to take
care of the furniture and other property at the sta
tion fled at their approach. The doors of a room
in wliich the furniture had been left and which was
carefully nailed and bolted, were opened and the
furniture removed to an uppper apartment. To
this any one had access, for when I arrived the
door was not fastened.
The last Spring expecting to hoard and school
fifteen or twenty Cherokee children during the
year, I planted a small field of corn. Much of the
labor in preparing the ground, and depositing the
seed, was performed with my own hands. Some

The basis of my political creed is, confidence in
the unofficial, sovereign people. They arc the on
ly legitimate source of all governmental-power, and
f believe them to be not only capable of self gov
ernment, but of icise self government. Therefore,
my only hope of retaining their confidence, will be,
in a faithful discharge of my public duty.

I avail myself of this occasion to re-affirm what
I stated to the public in February last—that “it is
my most ardent desire to see the whole -people of
Georgia united on the great subjects ot political
interest &, 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 within their re
spective constitutional spheres.”
Pure patriotism demands of every public func
tionary, a voluntary sacrifice of all political prejudi
ces, \vh*ch may stand opposed to thcmublic inter
est. Thus lar I make a free will one ring of my
own, on the altar of the public good.
In the presence of that portion of my Fellow Cit
izens here assembled, and in that of heaven, I now
proceed to bind mv self by the solemnities of the
most sacred obligation, to discharge, with zeal and
fidelity; the duties of the high trust to which I liave
been called.

was erected and the improvements at the station
made at the expense ol the Missionary Society,
under whose direction I labor; and for the express
purpose of enableing those who had the charge of
them to exert their influence to civilize and evan

now, and instead of those who have been there for
the sake of disseminating the mild maxims of the
Gospel, you shall behold die soldier in habiliments
of war. Instead of the 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 ensingns of death. In view of this ap-
appalling picture, I would ask, whether buildings

country. If I mistake not they are novel transac

which hang over the stream of memory, reflect her tm-
seenness? We have seen the work of her toilet, thus tho’
a cloud cover it; let us approach its penetralia. What
do you behold there? “.la loquar, an tactaml" “/Zorjren-

bitis pectore: n “O getnilus! O tniserecordiaP’ There it sits
like an Incubcs, dosing forever, half asleep, half awake.
Its general mein is tliat of dulness and sluggishness. La
boring hard for breath, with tumid veins it breathes a
starved existence, the streams of its vitality choked in
the fountains. Its eyes are languid, and suffused with
blood, which it conceals by closing the lids, that are beau
tiful in tlie extreme. Its breath fat id. The internal tor
tures, which writhe it, serve but to increase and animate
its external gaiety; for, although so dull, it has gaiety.
Its body is fiesliiess and gaunt; its wings long and taper
ing, foulding up voluminously; more gay and plendiJ,
than Aurelia’s just burst from the shell; and rich in the
variety of gaudy tints. There blazes the diamond; here
burns the saphire; there glitters the gold, here shines tlie
opal; colour blending with colour, creating ravishment
and beauty.
Never did any being before combine suck striking con
tradictions and contrarieties; such strange and surprising
beauty, with such squallid, splendid, deformity; all its
internal, tlie very contrast of its external, aspect and
physiognomy. The tallness and trimness of its figure
would seduce tlie belief of its airiness and agility, but
nothing, in reality, as I have said, can be more duU and
sluggish. Long and aquiline is its beak, tapering keen
ly to a point, to divide aud untie the nerves and sinews
of life; but like tlie band, htgeamus, which wrote Me ne
te. kel on the wall of the king of Babylon, it is invisible.
Its arms are long and sinevy, formed for strength, whdse
horrible cincture, where nature meant only tlie.cineiure
of love, is the plague of the living and the scourge of the
unborn.
In information, it eurpases all the-creations of ancient
fancy, flings the sphinx of old Thebes in the shade, it re
sembles a little/tne apparatus of mixtiferm beings,which
gave sublimity and savage grandeur to the early song of
our species. The abundance and glossy richness of its'
plumage conceal the skeleton ugliness and deformity of
Hell; “mother of awful shapes, and direful forms, fright
ful to the rest of God’s creation.” It is tongueless and
withorn a voice; for these are not wanted in the place
where it sojourns. I need not say, it is the genius of the
corseft I am describing.
ThU is the creature, “the.shape h^if untold,” she cher
ishes with so much tender care and devotion; ‘at 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 slic lavishes,
with willing hand, all that would bow tlie supple knee
of gallantry, and awaken to fierce movement tlie unkin-
died flames 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 whole
months ip gloom and ianguishment; beholds now for the
first time, opened up to view around her, tjie avenues,
which lead straight to the tomb. On the one side, fright-
fid dropsies, liver compbrints, and affection of the viscera
press her; on the other, nervous diseases cry, howl after
her, like Furies. She falls; or witli slow and languid
pace, advances up wretchedly to her coffin: “Nor dreams
for once t hat she’s been slain by what she so much loved.”
Nor do the ranks of her frightful destroyer, a monster
in the formation of whose hideous features, nature has
been fairly outdone, suffer by it. They are kept full,
full by her, “whose face so fair and tender is, trait the
winds, which roam the open roof of heaven, or kissing
flowers along the vally play, dare not touch, nor beam of
sun:” “whose nerves so 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 cof
fins n ? ■
The stream of life is rolling on toward posterity. Like
the cry Poly dor us heard on breaking the bough of the
tree from wliich blood flowed, “spare the unfortu
nate dead;” there comes one to her, from ‘‘where the
wing of years ne'er prest their flight,” spare! be merci
ful to us who are to be!” 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 Brutus say.
“speak, have I offended?” Is the weakness of woman,
loving and beloved, to lie through all eras tlie continual
sport of fortune; and die point, in which sad change and
revolution begin? Through her, is disaster always to do
its sad and melancholy work? Did a vile reptile, her se
ducer, tear away from her, the robes of Heaven site first
wore? and has it come again, grown a Boa to take the
last morsel it then left, her terrestr'af beauty?
In the 3d and 4th sections, I have already exposed the
influence of this fashionable mode of dress upon the sci

On the subject of so rearing and unfbulding the consti
tution as to attain to, and evolve the highest powers of
intellect, as well as the greatest perfection of the organ
ism itself; or in other words, gymnastic education, im
portant and fascinating as it is, the writer eannot indulge
in further discantation; but must be content for tlie pre
sent. At a day not distant, he hopes to be able, in a re
gular work on the Therapeutics and pathological History
of the Diseases of our country, to throw full light on ma
ny of its topics glanced at here, where they will come in
orderly for a share. (To be continued.)

The editor of the N. Y. Commercial Advertiser, who
has recently visited Philadelphia, says:—“The case oi
Judge Marshall 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 formations of gravel, from the sire of large
peas, down to that of small shot, taken from the venera
ble sufferer, were actually counted; and that the whole
number probably exceeded a thousand. The case was so
difficult, that instead of two or three, minutes, the opera
tion was necessarily protracted to above twenty. Not
a croau escaped his lips, nm was there a perceptible
twinge ofa inuscle. 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.”—Charleston Gatette.
