It was rumored also, that general Gaines’ movement had completely irustrated the plans of the commander-in chief, general Scott, which were said to have been well and judiciously formed, the}' were as fol lows: the left wing of the army under general Eustis, the centre under colonel I.indsey, and tiie right wing under general Clinch, all moving simultaneously and so well timed ns to arrive at their different stations, surround the enemy, and commence the attack at one and the same time. Had these plans been carried into execution, there is little doubt but that an effectual blow would have been struck and the war ended.— There appears however, to be an unforlunnte rivalry between the two celebrated generals who have so distinguished themselves hereto fore, and an old and bitter feud is said to exist between them. The orders from head-quarters thing of an important nature, will still bo read with interest. It was brought by one of the company, who returned in consequence of ill health.

The rashness of the Ministry had at length involved them in a general quarrel—^Parrel with America, quarrel with foreign powers, and quar rel at home. Wilkes, the printer who published the debates in Parliament, and the Mayor and Aldermen who were imprisoned for resisting the authority of the house of Commons, were the civil antagonists. In every conflict with them, the Ministry were worsted. Burke took a vigorous share in those perpetual debates, and lie made continual progress in the public admira tion. His speaking was in a style totally new to the House and the nation. But two eminent orators had appeared inParliament foracenturv. Bollingbroke, rich, dexterous and fluent, the prince of rhetoricians: Chatham, condensed, pointed and brilliant, irregular in his conceptions, and unequal in his efforts; but when lie put forth his strength, striking with prodigious power, the weight, directness, and fire ofa thunderbolt. But like the thunderbolt, his eloquence was gener. ated by the storm, and fit only for the storm.— Burke’s larger scholarship and finer philosophy produced an eloquence not less fluent than tile one, or less vivid than the other; but still more cheering, magnificent und fruitful of noble thoughts and generous purposes. When lie spoke, beseemed to be speaking, not for the time, but For the benefit of centuries to come; less lor the triumph of his party, than for the well being of the human race. All his speeches arc profound wisdom administering to daily practice. The House, perpetually astonished by the opulent variety of his knowledge by l.is sudden illustrations, gathered from every art nnd science, by thcliving splendours which he caught from everv region of human research, and lias- II F\KY SHERIFF’S SALE On th- first I .

I would not wish that o’er my grave, A rose or myrtle bough should lean, Nor e’en the willow there should wave, Nor aught but wild flowers should be seen. I would not wish that those I love Should wander there at close of day, And think of her o’er whom they rove As dwelling only with decay Or gazing on the little mound, Imagine all they caunol see, And, starting at the slightest sound, With chilling horror think of me. No, but in each familiar spot, Which both to me and them was dear, There I would not be all forgot. Yet ne’er remembered with a tear. In the sweet home I loved so well, Round them unseen I oft would fly, Teaching the summer breeze to sweli With notes of spirit melody. And something in that half-heard strain , Should breathe an unforgotten voice, And bringing thoughts all free from pain, Should still forbid them to rejoice. Or when around the cheerful hearth Parents and children meet at eve, While beaU each heart with love and mirth,| Oh! should 1 w'sh those hearts to grieve? Yet I would hover in the air And bind each heart with spells unknown, Till they should feel my .spirit there, Mingling in every look and tone. Each glance of childhood’s sparkling eye, Each thrilling sound of childish glee, And every pensive look or sigh All should some token bear of me. Yet with my memory should not come One thought of dear affections crossed, Or any shade in that loved home, To which I never could be lost. body and report. Formed and laden like so many pack-horses, the column started, for the first time in tiie campaign, on their march.— The day was a very hot one—the roads were much better iltan we expected. We crossed several small streams of good water. The country almost a perfect level, with a grey sandy soil, sparsely covered with pine timber. After much fatigue, the battallion reached a rising grassy plat near a cool stream of running water, about five miles and three-quarters from Picolata. where we pitched our camp. The day following, the 26th, we marched fourteen miles, the country continuing as level, the land getting poorer, and less good water than met with the day previous. The column this day detained two hours by the waggons getting stall ed. After throwing away tents, blankets, axes and spades, and a good deal of exertion used, they were extricated, and slowly proceeded onward, and wending our way like a dull lazy stream, to the point of destination.

This was indeed, startling news to men who had just left the abodes of peace and plenty, much complaint was manifest ed. The day following, the 27th, after con siderable delay, it was agreed to despatch one of the baggage waggons to Picolata, with four sick men, (Reid and Wyche of our company,) and return laden with provisions sufficient to last three days, the time we expected to march to the Fort. About 1 o’clock, P. M. a courier from gener al Scott reached our encampment, bringing countermanding orders, stating that general Gaines had arrived at Fort Drane from Tampa Bay, and that there was a sufficient number whose lot it fell upon to go, were the Macon ! brilliant abstraction fora time, but his eye nev er wandered; he sruck down instantly upon the point—and at once dazzled, delighted, and con. vinccd.

The fierceness of civil struggle, and the terrors of a war which threatened to overwhelm the empire, at length indisposed men to oratory.— Pitt and Fox became the arbiters of the House. The simplicity of their style was more congenial to tiie severe and trying time, than the lavish ed grandeur and poetic magnificence of Burke. But bis triumph has returned. The speeches of the great Minister and his great rival have gone down with them to the tomb. Burke’s have assumed only a loftier character in the es timation of all men since his death. They are the study of every mind that thirsts to drink pure political wisdom from one of its highest human sources.

Volunteers and Hancock Blues. Wednesday, 2d March.—The weather last night very severe, owing to the high winds, heavy rains and a sudden change in the atmos phere. Early this morning, another messenger rode past from Fort Drane; lie reported that the J fighting was continued up to yesterday, at 4 | o’clock, P. M. that the parties occupied each side of the river; and that several regulars and volunteers were killed. His business was, in going to Picolata, for more guns and ammuni tion. Last evening, just before sunset, ihe shrill notes of a distant bugle announced the arrival of cavalry; soon a long cavalcade hove in sight, on which the loud and repeated hurrahs hats and halloing followed from the joyful crowd.. They were the Jefferson, Washington, Houston and Hancock companies of mounted men, numbering near three hundred. It was also reported in the camp by the Major yester day afternoon, that a squad of about twenty Indians had been committing depredations fif teen miles up the river above Picolata, and that an express arrived there for assistance to put them down. The two campanies named above are now at Picolata waiting orders. Captain Allen’s company of mounted men from Hous ton, have just heard the rules and articles of war road to them, and twenty-seven with their captain, only entered into the service.

Monday 29th.—The battalion, at the hearing of reveille, were busily engaged in cooking their.breakfast and getting ready for an early march. By 8 o’clock the column was formed in marching order—the day a hot and sultry one. ’ By sunset we had proceeded fifteen miles, the roads, owing to the heavy rains just fallen, almost impassable, for two-thirds of the distance the water from one to six inches deep. Waggons often stuck in the deep gulleys, and once or twice upset in the water. The men, many of them, complaining of sore feet, caused by the fine sand and water getting into their boots.— About 8 o’clock in the evening another mes senger, being also an express from Fort Drane, passed the camp, he reported verbally that general Gaines had fought a battle with the Indians near the banks of the Withlacoochee, on Saturday forenoon, and that five of his men and fifty of the enemy were killed, and they driven across the river, to where the women and children were said to be.

It is described as follows:— Upon the capture of Lisbon by Don Pedro, his brother Don Miguel abandoned theseigeof Oporto aud encamped with his army before the capital. The country residence of Mr. Brent, the American Charge d’Affaires, was situated upon the bunks of the river Tagus, and near it engagements sometimes took place, be tween siyial! detachments, of the two con- tending armies. On one occasion, during the absence of Mr. Brent, a company of troops of Don Miguel, having appeared on a height near that country seat, a battle ensued between it and some armed boats of Don Pedro, in the Tagus. While the battle was raging, the shot passed so near the residence of Mr. Brent, as to endanger the safety of the family; whereupon Mrs. Brent, alarmed at their situation, rushed forward, and with her own hands, unfurled “the star spangled banner” and waved it from the window. The sight of the “broad stripes and bright stars” had a most wonderful effect on the contending forces. The firing on both sides instantaneously ceased and Mrs. Brent retired fromthe window, perfectly satisfied of her secu rity, while under protection of the American" Flag. the horse when brought on the turf.
