J—A gus. CHARACTER OF TEdUMSEH. The celebrated aboriginal warrior 4 '* * was in the 44th year of his age, when he Fell at the battle pf the Thames. He was of the'Sh'awan nce tribe, five feet ten inches high, well formed for activity, and the en durance of fatigue, which he Was ca pable ofsiistaiflng in a very extraor vdinary degree* His carriage was erect arid motion quick— his eyes penetrating—his visage stern, with ah air 61 hauteur in his countenance, which arose from an elevated pride of soul—-it did not leave him in death. His eloquence was nervous* edheise, impressive, fi gurative and sarcastic : being of a taciturn habijt of speech, his words were few blit always to the purpose. His dress was was never Rnbwn to indulge in the guady deco ration of his persoti, which is the general practice of the Indi ms He * wore on the day of his death a dres4 sed deerskin boat and pantaloons.— it is said that he could read and write correctly ; of this/ however, 1 am doubtful, as he was the irrecoiicilea,- ole enemy to civilization, of course would not be apt to relish our arts-1 He was in every respect a savage the greatest perhaps, since the days of Pontiac. His ruling maxim in war, was, to take ho prisoners aiid strictly adhered to the sanguinary purpose of his sbul— ie .never gave nor acceptedqilarters. Yet paradox ical as* it nrioy seem, to tlie prisoners made by other tribes, he Was attentive tnd humane. Nay in one instance ne is said to have buried his tooia laWk iri the Head of a Chippevvay chief Wlvorri lie found actively in tssa creirig Some of Dudley’s men after they had been made prisoners iiy the British drtd Indians. It long had been a favorite project of this aspir ing chief lo unite tne notherrt, Wes tern and southern Indians, feu* the purpose of retaining country as far as the Ohio. Wnetiier his grand idea originated in his own, or his brother’s nilnd, or was suggested by the. British, is not known— out this niuch is certain, he cherished she plan with enthusiasm, and actually visited the Creek Indians* to prevail on them to join in the undertaking. He was always Opposed to the sale of Indian lands* In a council at Vincennes ur 1810, he was found e qual to the insidious art of a diplo matist* In one of his speeches he pronounced general Harrison a liar. He had been in alnrfost battle with the Americans from the,time of Hurmer’s defeat to that of Thames. He had been several times Wounded* tfh*d always sought the hotesl of the fire. A few minutes before he receiv ed the fatal fire of colonel Johnson, he had received a musket ball m his left arm, yet his efforts’ to conquer ceasedooly with life. When a youth and before the treaty of Greenville, he often signalized himself, tjMU he Was reputed one of the boldest cn the Indian %varriors. In the first settlement of Kentucky, he was pe culiarly active in seizing, boats going down the Ohio, killing the passengers and carrying off tneir property. tie made frequent incursions into Ken tucky, vW here he would invarijffiy * murder some ot the settlers and es , cape with several norse* ladened with plunder.

There was.a kind of Feroci ous pleasurfe, if I may be allo wed the expression, in contemplating the con tour of his features which Was ma jestic even in death. Some of the* Kentubkians disgraced themselves committing indignities on his dead body, he was scalped and otherwise disfigured. **“ 1 . ***"t > . _ , * Pto.iounced in &hawanna, Te cum thee—-There are many words in this language which have the lin-* guadental sound of th such as Chili cothe, opiothe, &c. t I have just learnt that lie could neither read, write* nor speak Eng lish. ‘ FOREIGN NEWS.
