My beard, which had beenj growing for a fortnight, was shaved: I ’he tattered great coat, my sole and s~arny covering, was exchanged fora • lean shirt and comfortable suit of clothes'j a hospitable board was spread for my refreshment; and wine, thaj “;n iketh glad the heart,” was substi tuted in a limpid glass, for the ditch water beverage, in a bullock’s horo, which had been my cold, cold drink in prison. 1 found from my friend Mr. Nightingale (and, be it observed, in justice to him, that all intercourse with iiirn in prison, except with the prison ers themselves, had been interdicted or I should have seen him before,) that my guardian angel, “red haired Man uel,’’ had ridden to Buenos Ayres, a distance 01 three hundred and twenty miles, in the most incredably short spape cf two days and two nights. . He had taken his departure a few Lours after he met me in my forlorn rrecession to prison. He heard at o ice, in the town of BaXada,all the par ticulars of my capture,..and set off with them, instantly to my friend Mr Thor oughgood, known a* that time for his cx’raordinary height 6f six feet five, an I extensive dealings with Paraguay, sometimes as the “Paraguay Giant,” an 1 sometimes (his Christian name be ing Thoma';) as “Don Tomas y medio,” that is “Thomas and a, half.” Mr. Thoroughgood instantly laid my case before the Honorable Joscelyn Percy, then in command;of the Hotspur fri gate, and of his Britannic Majesty’s ships and vessels in the river Plate. This officer, with a truly Hotspur alac rity and decision, yet tempered, in him, as a seaman, by the discipline of mod ern naval tactics, arid as a tfiploriydisf, by a mandatory coolness of very defin ed instructions from the Foreign Of fice, determined 'it once what was to be done. fie had a beautiful little vessel, watch he had built on board of his own frigate after her mode), and. called the “Little Hotspur.” He despatched this man of-war yacht to General Ar tjign?, ualer the command of a very| gallant English tar, tAen Lieut. He was familiarly styled, by his mess mates, and very Blow-hardand he is now a distin guished post captain in the navy. .v ita his smart coat, and more uncom prosing cocked hat, this officer deliv ered in the hands of the then all but omnipotent chief Artigas the despatches of Captain Percy. They were to the short and simple effect, that unless I were liberated, and my property de livered up, (it being notorious that 1 had infringed no known law of the country.) he would immediately pro ceed to make reprisals of all property u idcr Artigas’ flag. This spirited dis play cf cool and reasonable resolution hid its desired effect on the banditti chief Artigas: he-despatched instant orders for my liberation to the Gover nor of the Baxada; and in consequence us those orders it ivas, that I was ideas e;l from prison. But Captain Percy fro* stop here. At the same time that he schVover h»s ship-of-war to Artigas, be despatched a well known, active, and athletic cou rier, of tiie name of Bob Braveall, to U’C at the Baxada, v. ith a communica tion to the Governor ofthaitownio this f ffect:— “Sir, —You have, I understand, ta ten violent possession of the ship, p ro * pci ty, and person of the British sub ject, Mr. Reinmnxe; I beg to inform you that I have despatched the. bearer, Air Braveall, to the Barada, for the, purpose of conveying to you a copy of my official notice, on the subject of Mr. RcimnazJs illegal imprisonment, to General Artigas. And 1 have to re quest on the alternative there proposed mat all proceedings agaipst. the Brit ish subject refcrfrtexl to be suspended, and himself in the meantime be libera ted from prison, under such surveil lance as you may deem prpper, until you receive specific and final instruc tions on the subject from the, most /x --ccllenl Protector (so was ArtigaS then styled) of (he independent provinces of the rive r Plate. “i have the honor to be, &c.” Signed “Joscelyn Percy, “Commandant of his Britannic Majesty's Forces tn the Rio de la Plata." The Commandant and Governor of the Baxada had received, the day be fno, the order from General Artigas himrelf for my liberation, issued in con seqnen'-c of the receipt of Captain Pony’s comumijo-iiion to him direct by flip Little Hotspur. It was the day after my liberation, that the courier Mr Braveall, arrived at the Baxada, from Buenos Ayres; and though the demand for my liberation was no lon ger necessary,. through this channel yet it will be readily believed that I did not the less gratefully or gladly receive so triumphant a testimonial of my innocence, and so handsome and effectual a proof of the alacrity and zeal with which British interests were watched over, even in the remotest parts of that uninhabited waste. I have much pleasure, and I have much pride, in paying this small, alas! ziery small tribute of public acknowledge ment and gratitude to Captain Percy, be he now, where he may. In a few days after my personal lib eration, my property was restored to me, and my vessel, with the trifling de ficit of about* five thousand dollars, which, besides the muskets, had been actually arid irretrievably plundered by the military cormorants of the place. This vessel praceeded on her voyage to Paraguay; I visited my friends at Buenos Ayres, and thanked Captain! Percy for his most timely and effectual; interposition; I then went to the camp of Gen. Artigas, and endeavored, but in vain, to get compensation ffir my sto len property; and I finally pioceeded to Paraguay, on horseback, expecting at any rate, there, to be received by Dr. Flancta with open arms, after al' ! had suffered and lost on his account. How far my expectations Were answer ed, in this respect, will be shown in a subsequent paper. It is solely with a view to the further developement of Dr. Francia’s character, by showing the part he acted in the sequel ofthis episode, th it it has been at all »•»*- duced; 1 “0- A 1 RAVELLIR. SON OF NAPOLEAN. A stranger who has lately arrived at Rennea, and has taken up his abode' at one of the principle hotels, has made himself the object of general observa tion by announcing himself as a natu ral son of Napolean by a celebrated ac tress. He makes a lavish expenditure and declares that he has income of 300,000 f. He is particularly kind to all the old Goidiers he meets, and the very sight of a military uniform seems to make his heart thrill with delight. JFrench paper. THE GREAT NAPOLEON. •There was a gentleness, and‘even softness in his character. He was af [ fected when he rode over the field of battle, which his ambition had strewed with the dead and dying* and seemed riot only desirous to relieve tffe victim?, issuing purpose directions which too often could no,t be obeyed, but subject to the influence of that more acute species of sympathy, which is termed sensibility. Ite mentions a circumstance which indicates a deep sense of feeling. < As he passed over a field of battle in Italy, he saw a house less dog lying on the body of his slain master. The creature came towards him, then returned to the dead body, mourned over it pitifully, and seemed to ask his assistance. “Whether it were the feeling of the moment, continued Napoleon, the scene, the hour or the circumstance it self, I was never so deeply affected by any thing which I have” seen upon a field of battle. That man 1 thought, has perhaps, a house,friends, comrades, and here he lies, deserted by every one but his dog. How mysterious arc the impressions to which we are subject! I was in the habit, without emotion, of ofordeii.ng battles which must decide the fate of a campaign, and could look with a dry eye on the execution of ma ucEuyr.es which must be attended with great loss', and here I was moved, nay, painfully affected, by the cries and grief of a dog.. It is ceilain that at that moment, I should have been more accessible to suppliant enemy, and could understand the conduct of.Ac.'jlles in restoring the body of Fleeter totu? tears PHRENOLoCX- . Phrenology receives,ever ann non » a blow, which one might'suppose wouln kill it outright. But iU advocates are the most sanguine men that We have ever met with. There seems,, indeed, (c be something in the science when one bgCOrnes thoroughly indoctrinated which renders its disciples as inmovea ble as the hills. How otherwise, can • they resist the fact, that the skull of Napolaen exhibited an absence of all the prominent mental and moral traits for which he was distinguished, and the presence of others for which he posses sed them at all, he . was by no means re markable? We find it stated likewise, in opr Jate papers, that the sltull.of the hit? Baron Dupuytren, one of the most eminent surgeons in France,' has been subjected to critical examination, and contradicts all the calculations that were confidently entertained of its structure; And it L also said that the skull of La Place, which is in the pos session of Dr Majendrie, when placed between those of two idiots, cannot be distinguished from them! So far, facts connected with the organization of the human cranium,seems to be clearly con-1 tradictory of theory upon which phre nology rests—and if it fail in a single instance, it of course ceases to have a ny pretentions to the character of a science. But it is said that a sheep's head contains those organs in which wit,metaphysics &, religious veneration arc located-the last place in which we should expect to find two of them, at least. And we may cap the climax, by the following anecdote: *A distin guished professor pf phrenology had the cast of a head, sent to him, for his peculiar examination. He did examine it with great care. It was indeed, he said, a singularly marked head, of ama zing width and size, and strongly indi cative of a peculiar character of mind. He was much interested in it gave a full written opinion of its qualities, and requested to see the original'head from which the cast was taken, and to con verse with its owner. In answer to this request, whirl; accompanied his opinio of head wag informed by letter, that the person who had thus so solicited his professional scrutiny would be very happy to oblige him with an examination if in Iris power, but he was sorry to say that it was im possible, as only the day before he had eaten it for his dinner—it was a turn ip." “ , AN, ARREST- A FACT. hunri*~-* 7 SU . M 'ffi a country not a ..cu miles from Adams, h small sized man went to the plantation of a certain gentlemen who was light in wit, but rather heavy in flesh, with a piece oi paper in his hand folded in a legal form, and known by the abbre viations “ca fa.” Having found the owner of the plantation in the field, he explained hit business, when he war re quested to read the capias', yvhich pom menced as usual, “You are hereby commanded, without delay, to take the body of,” &c. “Humph!” says the prisoner, stretch ing himself upon his back, “I am ready.” “O 5 btit you don’t expect me to carry you in my arms?” “Certainly, you must ‘take my body,’ you know. 1 do not resist the process of the law, understand, but submit with much cherfulness.” “Will you wait therd till I bring a cart?” “Can’t promise—l may recover from my fatigue in the mean time.” “Well, what must I do?” “You must do your d,uty?” And there fie lay-,immovable', until the sheriffleft !rim.--JVcrtc/; Cou.

Dr. BRAIN, MRS. ATKINS, AND A CHILD. Dr. Brain. — Well my good Mrs. Atkins, I see that you have brought your son to be examined. Mrs. Atkins. — Yes, sir, if you will have the goodness. Children are a great pleasure, but then they are a great care, and a wijew, especially a lone woman, cannot help feeling anx ious about setting them out in life. To be sure, I have only my twins, a girl and this boy but still it is a great trouble. One does not know what is fittest foi them poor things! . Dr. B.— Phrenology is precisely what, will ease that trouble, Mrs. Atkins. Our discoveries are particu larly to that point, by observing and following the natural indications. My friend, Mr. Howston, I think, sent you to irie! . Mrs. A.— Yes, sir, he told me that by looking at the boy’s skull—take off your hat, William—feeling the bumps. Dr. B.— Organs my good madam! Call the organs. , . .., Mrs. A.—l beg your pardon, sir, I will.—Mr. H. said, that feeling his bump—organs, I mean—you would be to tell me what to do with him. I should like to bring him up to the grocery line, like his father, and take him into business at a proper time; but the boy, it seems, has read a foolish book, Robinson Crusoe, and is wild to go to sea! W T hy don’t you take off your hat, William, and let the docter leok at your bu— organs? He won’t hurt you, child, . For .all be is so bold and full of ,tricks, the boy is as shame faced before company as his sister. Hold yourself up William. Dr. B.— How old is the young gen tleman. Mrs. A.— Twelve,come neyt Michal mas. He’s by t a ; scrimp of a H) 1 31 -- e boj. ; anny and he are so muc » • jp n were no t f or their cloaths we should not know them asun-, der. Bst 1 suppose, docter, that’s only: their faces? I take it their bum—l beg pardon--orgins are quite different? Dr. B— Undoubtedlyj my good Mrs Atkins; difference of sex is attended With difference of faculty. The per ceptive organs, for instance, are usual ly more developed in women; the re flectiye organ in man. This is quite a boy’s foi;ehad. — sir, let me feel ? 1 shall do yoii no harm. [The docter feels of the child’s head—Mrs, Atkins walks about the room, looking at the casts, And talking tohersett.] A large distinctiveness— a prodigious combahvoness!—-firmness strongly, enve loped—adhesiveness small. Really, Mrs. Atkins, this boy is the ncostin stance of the truth of our sciec.ce that I ever met with in the thousands that I have examined. I never saf? the pro pensities so strongly indicf|te<L Let him go to sea by all it would be of no use it you were to try to keep him at home: witßsuch afirmness and sensitiveness he wo'/id certainly run away. Besides, it would bje a thou sand pities. Here re ail the Organs that make a great warrior—asuperli distinhtivenvss— —a finer combativeness than Lord Nelon’ f J should like to have a cast of t’/e Soy. Mrs, A.—A fd. well-a-day! Dr. B. Acquisitiveness strong, too! Mrs. ay—what’s that? Dr. B. it means a desire io possess, /which, in a boy, probably shows il/elf in a love of maib!es,and without being very scrupulous as to Lie means by which they are ac quitted. ; , f.Jrs. A.— ol it’s a wonderful art! •%e, William, how the doctor finds r you out! Yes, he—l take shame to sa y it—stole all the apples off our noupa rail tree, last year, and can’t keep a gooseberry in the garden for him. I can trust his sister any where, she’s such a good little quiet thing—-but William— , Dr. Z?.-iNever fear, Mig. Atkins— it’s an excellent organ under proper government, and will turn to a desire to capture Dub h spice ships and Span ish argosies. You must send him to sea. Mrs. A.— Ah! well-a-day! Butdoc T tor how jsityoucan tellali these things? Di. 'B —rWhy, . look here, my good madam, do you see that projection on I the side of—just here, Mrs. Atkins: - here my good lady. If I had another child I could show you in a moment what I mean. Mrs. A—— Run and fetch your sister William. t Z)r. B.— Ay, then I can explain the difference—l’ll venture to say there is not such a combativeness—why don’t you go for your sister my little man, as your mamma bids you? Mrs. A.— Why do you stand there like a simpleton? Go for Fanny, this moment! Child —Pray, mama, don’t be angry, I am Fanny. Mrs. A.— Oh dear! dear me! this is one of William’s unlucky tricks? Get out of my sight you goodffor-nothing hussy . What will the doctor say, to be made such a fool of? Dr. B.— Make a fool of me! Mrs. Atkins,! should like to see the person that could do that.—lt is not all the tricks of men, women, and children that can put down Phrenology. But I give you warning, my good madam, that whatever trouble ypu may have with your son, you will have more with your daughter. I was never mistaken in my life, and there are organs in that little noddle fit to belong to a Joan of Are. Good morning) Mrs. Atkins. She’ll follow the drum, I tell you—or go to sea, Good morning madam! Make a fool of me indeed. ; LIST OF LETTERS O EMAINING in the post office at * Cassville, Cass county,Get rgia t July, Ist, 1835, and if not taken out within three months, will be sent to the general post office as dead letters. ... ■•! • Samuel H Doling, esq.
