A correspondent of the Ne w York Com

tiiibos Mr. Madison and Mr. Monroe,
thus—
“Sometime before noon. Mr. Madison
entered \ho hall; ills appearance and
manner perfectly simple dc unostentatious;
his venerable figure erect, and, for Ids age,
even alert. His coontcn ince is sallow,but
has a healthy look; Ills eye, you know,
>as always iklhor a cold one; this expres
sion it retains, and his whole face is seri
ous, and falls into a Axedness wiien at tost,
almost resembling a statue. His stnilo,
though very transient, is sweet; the smile
' gfa ve'ry grave countenance is apt to be so.
His whole appearance and figure is inscri
bed with dignity, and tho refinement of a
-gentleman. His bow Ti graceful, and his
address and demeanor fitted 'to command
an involuntary respect' from all who ap
proach him. .Many,•evefiuf.lhe delegates,
taw turn now for the first, time ; ofhefs had
not seen him since his retirement, and the
greetings of his old friends Were numerous
and cordial. flC nukes Ills home at Mr.
Speaker Stephenson’s whose lady is a ret.
ativo. He took Ids place do one aide of
the chair, bn the lowest row of seats. Ou
'she other side sat Mr. Monroe. His ap
pearance looks broken by years and cares;
yet there is'acbetrful benevolence about
llis face, most winning in its effects upon
'those whom he addresses. 'Hi> dress was
plain—increase, lather, than that of Mr.
Madison, the letter stil' Wearing powder,
and having diamond buckles at his knees.’’

THE PROGRESS OF 1'iIE CON

VVe have laid a variety of Details, res*
peeling the Convention, this day before

of the Committees, the Ereeuitoe and the
Judicial, have made up tlteir Report*, and
will tills day present tlteir to the Conven
tion. Wo give all rite Resolutions which
these two Cornmitlecsnre to report. It
will also be seen, that the Miscellaneous
Committee reported yesterday, in part, to
the Convention.—Tho T.t-gislalive Com
mittee Wire actively engaged four hours
yesterday; but will scarcely complete
their business before Thursday or Friday.
The reader will perceive‘that tho pre
position to abolish the Executive Council
lias sticceeded ; and the one to elcgt the
Coventor through the People, has failed
by an etJUnlity of votes In tho Executive
Committee.— l’he Judiciary Committee
have reported, in favor of county courts ns

moving Judges by a voto of both Houses.
The Committees have- prosecuted their

ampler theatre.—In tho Cominiltoos, the
discussions have been carried on with set-
to voce, by the members in tlteir chairs.—
The Debate in the Convention will assume

LAFAYETTE’S VISIT TO THE
HERMITAGE.
Greece.—The New’ Yoik Commercial
Advertiser contains aletter from Dr. Sails
ue) G Howe to rite editors. In this tin
writer states that ho considers Greece en
lireiy dependent of the will of the Euro
pean Cabinets for tha'form of her Govern
ment, the course of her policy, for the ve
ry political existence Each power, says
he, “wishes to make Ureece dance Its own
particulat tune, since each in part pays
the piper.” Though no notion has been
taten in that country of the late Protocol,
in which a European ptince is prhposed.it
Is not because it has nut been deeply felt
Blit they'feel their dependence, Bnd dare
not mutmtir aloud. Capo d'Istria they
love, because they think lie lias conferred
Inestimable benefits on the country. The
better informed Greeks, however, doubt
ihe purity of his motives, and d slike Isa
tiy of liis measures. They assert that lie
has often violated tiro constitution, and trl
fled wttli what a republican 'considers the
Sacred rights of .(lie people. Yet tho wri
. ter thighs the National Assembly, which
was about to meet at Argos in a few days,
Would Continue him another year, with his
Oxisliug prerogatives. Dr. IJowe remarks
that he is perhaps less acquainted at this
moment with (lie internal politics ol
Greece, from having been in rch occupied
with tile colony he had established at Wash
jDgtonin, in the Isthmus of Corinth, for
the purpose of supporting themselves by
agriculture.
He has adopted this plan of relieving
the poor on account of the altered state of
the country. Formerly, the great point
was to keep them from actual starvation!
the state of things did not permit tlteir be
ing put to work; Rut now the times ad
mit his applying.his means differently, and
be i* accordingly supporting thirty six
families whom ho has colonized on the
national, lands. Tlteir labour will give,
qver and above their own support, enough
,to establish fifteen others; and in five year,
two hundred fajnilics may thus be support
ed, ahd a ljOspit.il established, by means
that in other circumstances would simply
have been-eaten up by the starving. One
half of his cargo lie means,however, to dis-.
tribute to individual objects of charity .Dr.
Uutvo will remain at the Colony from
three toeix months.. Should the Coni.
Biitlec lend out any other agent, he hopes
- they will take care to select a discreet man,
'anil no zealot, lest the religipu* prejudices
- oflho Cteckj take the alarm'. He says,
“thomost difficult thing a mhyin.iry' will
have to do among the peasantry, sviij bo to
'Convince them be -is a Christian.” Tho
letter is dated lOlh of July, 1820.

FIRE AND DESTRUCTION OF. HU
MAN LIFE.
Extract’from a lettei to the Editors, dated
Dover, Ttlin. Ocl. id, 1841).
The jail of this county, (die" art,) was
discovered last night to be on lire,and what
is indeed most shocking, the alarm was
given by a poor negro who was confined in
it. Tho alarm soon spread, tho citizonsi
generally repaired thither and every exer
tion was made to rescue the poor negro fel-1
low from the fate which threatened him
He was confined below, and the jail wns
on fire in that apartment. Tile smoko renl
dered it impossible to get the trap door o
pen which communicated with tho diinl
geon in wniclt lie was—and ' after various^
attempts front many of the citizens he was
abandoned to his fate. His cries were now
most heart-rendering, but human efforts
wete ofno avail, and the all-dcvourlng el-
em’ent soon put a period to his existence.
He was a runaway slavo, called his name
Jack,said he belonged to Ml. Nathan
Johnson ift lire vicinity of Huntsville, Ala
bama. We have no doubt the jail was set
on lire liy some person front the outside,
but wjtd it was Iras yet to be found out.—
Tito jail ivai entirely consumed—Nash\

“On're enteriog the hoose, some friends
ol General Jackson, who probably bad not
seen itim ‘for a long time, begged him to
Shew litem rite arms that he had received
after the last war. He.yielded with a good
grace to their request; and caused to be
pieced on the table, 8 sabre,, a sword, and
a pair of pistols. The sword was presen
ted to him by Congress; and the sabre, I
believe, by tile body of the nrifiy who
fought under his orders at New Orleans—
These two arms of Ainerican.'tpaiiufacture
are remarkable fur the elegance of the
workmanship and yet more for the honor
able inscriptions with which they ate * 1 *'
ered. But it was particularly to
tols, that rite General wished to draw
attention. He presented them to Genera
La Fayette, and asked if ha recollectei
them I The latter, after some moments
of attentive examination, answeretfjltat he
did remember them to hejhoso which he
had offered in 1778 to nis paternal friend
Washington, and that he experienced sin
cere satisfaction in now finding them in the
hands Of a man so worthy of such an in
heritance. At these words, tlie counte
nance of bid Hickory was suffused with i
modest blush,and his eye sparkled as in ih
days of victory. ‘‘Yes, said-he, I helm
myself worthy of ft"—(pressing nt the
same time to nis bosom llis pistols and the
hands of Lafayette)— 1 '‘If not for What I
have done, at least for what I desire to da
for my country
• • * “Alt the citizens applauded this
nohlo confidence of the Pattiot Hero ; and
felt convinced that the arms of Washington
could not be in better hatids than those of
Jackson.”

to the custom of tho Pythargurcans and a
cypress tree is planted near every new

ry fine and peculiar African Bull, which
arrived in this city, in tlm ship Hannibal

to Bttqlhen Girard, Esq. of Philadelphia.
.. This animal is noticed at'length in the
’‘SlagaZiiie of Natural History,” whie.lt
contains a very spirited drawing of tile Bull,
und delineates his peculiarities with much
minuteness and fidelity. His form is some
thing like the Urds,but heavier in the hind
Q uarters; and his shoulders possess great
epth. His hair is short and silky, and
the color a cream of yell<iwis|i white. But
the most peculiar part of the animal is his
eye, the iris Of which is of ti pale blue co
lor, but when ho is irritated, it varies from
a pale]hlueror lilac .to a deep crimson.—
He is now under the care of Doct. littdd
