A THRILLING PASSAGE—THE DEATH OF J C H ASTEL/kR. 1 ] An hour had scarcely elapsed, before the , [Hits were extinguished throughout the vaulted ] halls of Holyrood : the guards were posted for , the night, the officers had gone their rounds, ■. the ladies of the royal circle were dismissed, , and all was darkness and silence. In Mary’s , chamber a single lamp was burning in a small , recess, before a beautifully executed painting of the Virgin, but the light was not sufficient to j penetrate the obscurity which reigned in the ~ many angles and alcoves ot that irregular a- , ’ partmsnt, although the moonbeams were admit- . ted through the open casement. i Her -’arb of ceremony laid aside, her lovely j shape scantily veiled bv a single robe of spot- | !es« linen, her auburn tresses flowing in unres- , trained Insurance, almost to her feet; if she 'had been a creature of perfect human beauty when viewed in all the pomp of royal pageant ry, she now appeared a being of supernatural loveliness. Iler small white feet, unsan Idled, glided over the rich carpet with a grace, which a slight degree of fancy might have deemed the motion peculiar to the inhabitants of another world. For an instant, ere she turned to her repose, she leaned against the carved mullions of the window, and gazed pensively, and, it might be, sadly, upon the garden, where she bad so lately parted Iroin the unhappy y 'l’m whose life was thus cnibitteied by that veiy feel inn which, above ail others should have been its consolation* Withdrawing her eyes from the moonlight scene, she knelt before the lamp and the shrine which it illuminated, and her whis pered orisons prose, pure as the source from which they flowed—the prayers of a weak and humble mortal, penitent for every trivia! error, breathing all < onfidence to Him who can alone protect and pardon : the prayers of a Queen for r numerous children, and, last and holiest of ail, a woman’s prayers lor her unfortunate admirer. Yes, she prayed for Chastelar, that strength might be given to him from on high to bear The crosses of a miserable life, and that by divine mercy, the hopeless love might be up rooted from his breast. The words burst pas eionately from her lips, her whole form quiver ed with the excess of her emotion ; and the big tears fell like rain from her uplifted eyes.— While she was yet in the very flood of passion, q sigh was breathed, so clearly audible, that the conviction flashed like lightning on her soul, that this most secret prayer was listened to by other ears than those of heavenly ministers.— Terror, acute terror, took possession of her mind, banishing by its superior violence ever less engrossing idea. She snatched the lamp from its niche—waved it slowly around the chamber —and there, in the most hallowed spot of her widowed chamber, a spy upon her un guarded moments, stood a dark figure. Even in that moment of astonishment and fear, as if by instinct, the beautiful instinct of purely fe male modesty, she snatched a velvet mantle from the seat on which it had been cast aside, and veiled her person even before she sp> kc— “Oh God! it is De Chastelar.” “ Sweet Queen,” —replied the intruder— “bright, beautiful, ruler of my destinies, par don—” . ! “Want, bn!”—she screamed id notes of dread intensity—“a nioi a moi mes Francois. My guards!—Scyton—Carmichael Flo i.’ng —will ye leave your Queen alone ! alone with treacherv and black dishonor ! Villain ! Slave I” 1 fche cried, turning her flashing eyes upon him. her whole form swelling as it were with all iho furv of injured innocence —“didst thou dare to think that Mary—Mary, the wife of Francis; the anointed Queen of Scotland, would brook thine infamous addresses.... Nay, kneel n0t,.... or I spurn thee.. -M hat ho! will no one aid in f.in extremity... ” “ Eear nought from me..'.” faltered the wretched Chastelar ; but with a voice like that of -nine inspired Pvthoness, she broke i .. . “ Fear ! tbink’st thou that I could tear a thing, an abject coward thing, like thee ?....a wretch that would eyult m the infamy ot one whom he pre-ends lirynri’T Ffiti titer....by heavens, it I could have fl ared, uuntciiq r im»-« tunrrtn*' bidd n it.” “ Nay....Man....hear me! hear me but one word, if that w >rd cost iny hfl ~..” Thy life hadst thou ten thousand lives they would be but a feather in the scale against tin monstrous villainy.—“M hat ho !—” again she ; cried stamping wit i impotent anger at the d-lav ■ of her attendants—“ Treason! Mv guards— Treason!" At length the passage.? rang with ' the hurried fl>o steps t the startled inmat s of the palace—with torch, and spear and brandish ed blades, they rushed into the apartm nt — [ age, sentinel, and chamber! tin, ladies, with dishevelled hair, and fa res blanched with terror. The Qu en stood erect tn the centre of the room, pointing w ith one whit' 1 arm bare to the shoulder, towurls the wretch d culprit: whoi with folded arms and head erect awaited his I doom in unresisting silence. His naked ra pier, with which alone ho night have foiled the i united efforts of his enemies, lav at his feet— ilis brow was white as sculptured marble, ami • no less rigid, but his eyes glared wildly, ami his lips quivered as though he would have spoken. The Queen still furious at the w rong w hich he Lad don? her fame, marked the expression.l “Silence !" she cried—“lkgrided!—would'st thou meanly beg tin fm life—YYert tha t iny father, thou should’st die to morrow ! Hence with the Milam! Bid Maitland exe cute the wana t —Outsell will sign it—away!

YY ould’st thou but pity the offender, while thou dost doom the offence, De Chastelar would net exchange hi* shot.cued span of life, and violent death, for the bright'<t crown of Christendom. My limbs mnv die—my love wTI live forever Lead on, minions—l am more glad to die, than H ye to s’.iy ! Mary—beautiful Marv—think! think hereafter upon Cinstelar !

As he vanished from her presence, she waived her hand impatiently to be left alone; and all night long she traversed and retraversed the floor of her chamber in paroxysms of the fiercest despair. The warrant was bro’t to her; silently, sternly, she traced her signature be neath it; —not a sign of sympathy was on her pallid features, not a tremor shook her frame; she was pass; nlvss, majestic, and unmoved. The Secretary left the chamber on his fatal errand; and Marv was again a woman. Pros trate upon her couch she lav, sobbing & weep ing as though her v ry s ul was bursting from her bosom, defying all consolation, spurning every offer at r. med . “‘Tis done !—I have preserved my fame, and murdered mine only friend.” Th morning dawned slowlv -and the heavy bells of all the churches clanged the death p al of Chastelar.

POLITE \L CHANGES. We rejoice to witness th indications, affor ded by the result -f some of the recent elcctio-. , of a disposition on the part of tm people,! break the shackels of party discipline when the. can wear them no long' r without being fidsi I ■ the intcre'-ts <>f their country. In a community like ours, the exa (ions ol party are never light; in iividual interests must be largely surrendered, anb the pride of individual opinion not nfre qucntly laid aside: but when, in addition to ! these sacrifices, we are called upon to give up principles al-o, t■ <i Ivan i the sor-h purposes of those who have no principle to lose, men of sense &, honest intentions begin to retrace their j steps, and to spurn this ignominious thraldom. The principles, which were originally avowed by the present administration as those by which its policy was to be guided, were undoubtedly popular and specious. Public <dli' ers were not to bo permitted to in terfere in elections; every attempt to do so was to be punished by the loss of office. The pub lic expenditure was to be retrenced ; the virtu ous heart <>f the Executive burned with indig nation at all needless appropriations of the peo ple’s money. The reign of aristocracy wis to c ase upon the earth, and that ol the people to begin. Every tiling was to be purified and i exalted: there was to be no su h thing as sel fishness ; lofty and disinterested virtrn was gmversally to prevail, and all was to be purity ' and peace. \nd hoiV have thes ■ promises been fulfiled ? What noon has followed the of this dav star ! The question will be asked, and the time has come, when it can be fairly answered.— i-.very one can answer it tor himself: no man, 1 if he would can possibly be blind to those cir- I cumstances, which furnish the str.’n and une quiv " d i ply: do«-s not < verv individual kn w, that when ever a party battle is to <e t'oiig'il, lhe whole array ol office holders is blaz ing in t ie van ; that the fitness < f an applicant for this warfare is the verv qualification for his post ! Have we not seen, in more than one m-tancc, what to any other President would have been an unpardmiai'le insult, that individuals • navi-bcm recommend'<l to (General Ja< ks >n j for appointment, nr t for < apa< itv, not for hon esty, but <m account of their personal devotion io nim- If, md the z» al with which ihev have toi'ow d in his track ? I< any at this day ignor ant th.J these professions of retrenchment and ; refer have I'i'en followed bv systematic and i yearly m< reasjig extravagance—that the ex ‘ penditures under tfle last idmimstration, repro bated as these w re, uave been exceeded by those of the present, untn th ‘V have become far greater, man th v were ever I’o'iwn to be be fore! It inn bethat the domii.n o! aristocra v, if it ever existed has ceased : hut how has its plac been supplied! By the open, re ckless, and most perilous attempt to substitut for lhe control of the universal w ill, the unquestioned, absolute control of the will ot one. Let us now turn to the moial principle of the presen’ administration, as it is indi aied by the o| its leading support! rs. Some foretaste ot what it was to be, was afforded by ' the asseveration ot a distinguished member of' the Jackson par’y, that the last admim -trati n ! was accordingly put down, ind what followed? I \ J • kson Senator, who now fills the important office of Governor of New York, deefared in his pla- e in the Congress of the United States, i that office was t e spoil of victory. \ member of th* House of Kepre>entatives, from the same Staff , made the following 'eclaration, “ I am a whole hog man : and I would sooner commit the unpardonable .-in. and throw mvself on the clemency of the Almighty, than return tn mv constituents, afler having vote 1 to restore the ’eposites. or reehartcr the Bank.” Perish commerce perish credit! cried another member, from the s ime Empire State, rather than res tore the dt posites, or ren w the charter of the bank. Mr. Isaac Me Kim, a Jackson repre sentative ot one of the most important cities of the Union admitted, that the removal of the deposit ” was a • rong and injurious measure : but that the act was done, and he would vote, at all hazards, y* ith the Government; that he w is elected to support General Jackson and ’■' ould «c. th? ’ird of his hfe and for—• j tune : and that no friend of the administration could differ with General Jackson, and preserve his influence. And what doctrines are in the mean time issuing from the secret chambers of the administration itself? If all the trading community fail, says the Secretary of the Treas ury, the policy of the Government will not be changed. All who are doing business on borrowed capital, reiterates the President of the United States, ought to break? Neither per suasion nor coercion, nor the voice ofthe people, can change the fixed determination of Andrew Jackson ! Is it wonderful, that with these facts befoie them, men of sense and principle, yvho have no personal ends in view’, should hesitate to oppose the principle and practice ofthe present admin istration? On the contr iry, they have relied upon its profession, and have found them hollow and delusive. They w ill no longer yield them selves to a system of deception, which if con tinued, can terminate only in the ruin ot our civil institutions. FROM THE PORTLAND EVENING ADVERTISER. li'iishino ton April, 3, 1834. Mr. McDuffie, w de I am writing this, kite in th ■ afternoon, is making a splendid speech , in the House on the ueposite question; and the House, which is usually as tuiindent as lak< Erie in a storm is now as quiet as the gentle Cfii . rent of the gentle Jnio on a summers day. Air. ' McDuffie is almost the only man in the House who can command undivided attend >n, ’ ut he commands it—forces it— extorts it—thunders all noise dow n—and men must listen, whether th -v like speeches or not. If you whisper when he :s talking, your whisper is heard every where, and you pause from the attention it draws. If you are sleepy, his lorn* and lofty , pitches of voice will arouse y>i>, and then his musing tone will increase the interest. The iruihis, he has a very remarkable maimer, a b d manner, but a manner so peculiarly his own that it is as effective as if it v. n the besl man ner in the world; and w th this manner, in what he says, t? re is a vein of goog sense, exten sive reading, and heart-felt ppeal which ever «ms a victory let who will ht ar it. 1 think we Yciikef s must have had something to do in his education, though h- was born in that fiery <s outh Carolina, for h* has our rational ideas, but the warmth and impetuosity of his own clime. But if he was not educated among us, jhe educated iumself—a naan of his ow n making , >- 3 poi«' boy m a mercantile house at i Augusta, he learnt the good common i sense whi h they could not afterwards spoil in their colleges. Mr. M Dtiffie began to day but the exordi um of his speech His friend Mi. Archer, re ! quested an adjournment at 4 o’clock, and suc i ceeded in < a rying it. though the leaders of the dominant party immediately rallied against the motion, Cambreleng struck up the tune pipe of “no”—Vanderpoel rullu <1 his legions—Maine i and New Hampshire were in arms: hut all in vain. The object unquestionably was to bring the debate to a < lose tc-day—to carry the pre vious question; anil if carrn <i, to sepd the news to New York so as to operate upon the chait' ’ > election, crying, that the question i- settled in • Congre-- »«w| you are working for naught.— I Settled! V, hat an idea! Slum an idea there is—though let that pass, as I am in Mr. Mc i Duffle’s spre h. ' Mr. MrJmffie considered the assassination letters in the Globe, as intended to operate up- • on public opinion, as Pisistratus attempte tc r operate upon it win n lie w< unded himself anc > rushed before the public, averring that his one - mies had done that. The object was the same , here, hi said—togain more power for the man ■ who already has too much power, Next Mr. - Bearilslev of .New York, came in lor a toasting. I It s< ems tl>at Mt. Beardsley in iiis speech, con > ten 'd (hat as tins Government wa- iliviJi d in- . to three parts, executive, judicial and legisla t five, all parts wnich were not legislative, and i judicial were executive —that is, all xecutive » power is in the President, under that artii le in I the constitution which says that the executive i pow er shall be vested in the President. All ex i eeutive power! This idea Mr. N< Duffie an - died in a variety of forcible forms, now ndicul i ling the New Yorker, now assailing his patent • <lo< trine with a torrent of sarcasm; and after sailing t. at Mr. B. left the Preside! t to judge I of what executive pow er was, bore dow n up >n I lam with the .ollowing burst, as near as I can reinemb- r “YU executive pow er in one man! he the judge ot the heighth, the breadth, the extent ol that power! Forty thousand office holders not acting as tney think, but as he thinks! Forty thousand wills rm rg-d in oi,e will! 'I he exe . rutive power not only in otic man, but m forty thousand men—not only at the White House, but here, there, every w here—in a < ollector, in a Minister Plenipotentiary, in a two penny Post : master,--blest with the power of übiquity and with omnipresence! AN hat an apotheosis, ido laters, ye h&'e made of your god ! Sir, there is no such government on earth. I care not where you look fur it. There is no such gov 't ernment on this side of the ocean, n< r on the I other ; no gov< rnmeut where the executive I power is all vested in one man. The most ruthlcs despotism leaves its under officers to ex ercise discretion. Sir. there never was such a | government. Greek and Roman theology ne v- r gave any one god so much power. There were Jupiter, and Mars, and Pluto, and Nep tune, and Apollo and Minerva, —but Jupiter dwelt in Olympus; Mars was but the God of war, Pluto reigned only below. Neptune bad only power over lhe water’. Apoilo cared on ly for the arts; and Minerva was but the goddess of wisdom. But our Jupiter is not satisfied with his Olympus. He leaps over the battle ments, and darting with a comet’s blaze from his empyrean height, seizes the thunderbolt of war, the trident of Neptune, the consuming fire of Pluto, tire torches of Ale to. and the snakes of the furies, and holding in his arms the pano ply of all the gods-- •Shakes bis ambrosial locks, and gives the nod, The stamp ot fate, die sanction of a god.’ n There—l have given you this as well as I i can remember: !.'•:* if J have rot given ’. on e-l - • i nough to assure you it was a very superb piece ofeFoqucnce, I must add, that it made many : jump up from their seats. Think ol a first rate i speaker, in a voice of thunder rolling it out, and accompanying it with the most forcible lation. He made the House quake—and here his friend Archer moving the adjournment, the New York machinery instantly tumbled to piec es, and the House adjourned; and the New Yorkers must take some more of Mr. McDuf fie’s thunder before they can stop debate. H< will have a great crow’d to-morrow. The Senate have been engaged chiefly upon private business. Mr. Benton presented the Boston Resolutions, with a short speech. No other news.

' This number, you will perceive, lacks but one > of being /cur times as many graduates as there wen tins time last v ar > The uxecutive Committee tak- great pleas i ure in presenting you a brief statement of the , lib rahty extended tons by our last Legislature, r , by our City Council, and by the Trustees of i the Richmond Academy. Our petitions to each i of these bodies have been successful. It is i known that an act ofthe Legislature appropriated $ 10,000 for the purposes of erecting a suitable - building, procuring apparatus, anatomical mu- - scum and library; in addition to which, 50 lots -of the town commons of Augusta were by the ’ same act to become the property of the Medical a College, with the consent ofthe Cit Council f and rrustees of the Richmond Academy. As 3 yet we have not reahz i and thing from this i source; but ofthe SIO,OOO $5,000 were passed ? to our credit in February last, and tiie remaining - $5,000 will become due b the Ist of next Aug. s From the City Council, we have received Scrip at 6 per cent, to the amount of $5,000, n for a contract entered into by the i ruste s, to - furnish medii in - and medical services to the e < fly Hospital for 10 years. This city scrip has - been taken at par by the contractors of our Col lege buildings. n ['he Trustees of the Richmond Ac« ’emy i- have granted to us 140 feet front and running o through from street to street, ofthe Western ex d tremity ofthe lot on which the Acaden y stands, and in the centre of which the foundation of oui e College Buildings has already been laid, and is a now rapidly progressutg.

A. Dugas, to 11 Europe, to procure with it the nccess ir appi- > latus, museum and Library. In additi nlo this another Professoi contemplates leaving here ‘ during the summer forth? north, to increase f our chemical apparatus, as well as to attend to t the construction of our Laborator , after / the must approved modern plans. This a - mount, togeflp r with that already appropriated ■ by the Faculty, for the same purpose, out of th< , funds accruing to the school fr-m the students, i will, we hope, amply supply us with apparatus • i and all requisite preparations for a Medical i, College. Your Committee cannot conclude this very ‘ flattering repoit—flattering for the success and I encourjgement which we have received, and • still more flattering in contemplating the future, ‘ without calling your attention to an early ex- ■ pression of our thank- aim acknowledgements i for the liberality rxt< nded to us by our last Le gislature, by our City Council, and by the Trus- i tees ofthe Richmond Academy.

PAUL F EYE, . Al. ANTONY, Executive Cena. L. A. DUGAS, I FROM THE ( OLUMBUS ENQUIRER CVullificatiou IVrit’s of Quoranlo,’ —Ave ry ludicrous farce, not surpassed even by the comico-tragic play of Bornbastes Furioso, is now going on in Murray county. We know i nothing, personally, of the characters w ho have 1 taken part m ’.his bloody trage ‘ dy, !>ut from the spirit of their prologue, we I should sunmse the corps was made un of snir-1 i its emulating Fusbus and Artaxammes, and that ’ the leader ofthe dramatis persona, was at least ! as brave and magnanimous a soul as the illus- I trious General Bornbastes himself. The arti . cle which has led us into a knowledge of this ; affair,, is contained in the last Western Herald, ■ in the shape of proceedings of a meeting of the • citizens of Murray County, held “ for the pur pose of taking into consideration the recent con duct of the Hon. John W. Hooper, Judge of the Superior Court ofthe Cherokee Circuit in his extra Judicial proceeding.-, in regard to the i issuing the mandates to set aside the Elections recently held for lhe county officers of this i county, &c.” It appears from the preamble-, that his honor Judge [looper, upon whose head all their bat tery is about to he exhausted, has had lhe au c dacity to issue, upon the application of seme of the citizens of said county, “his writ of Qizoran to,”* commanding certain county officers, pro fessing to have been duly elected and coinmis ’ sioned, to appear, before him and answer by what authority they exercise their several offi ces— which process they consider extrajudicial and likely to open away for the introduction a mong them of the dreadful monster Nullifica tion—whereupon, they resolve to resist, (not nullify) to the last extremity, the ope, ation of the aforesaid dreadful writ of “ Quoranto.” — Vi ell, as Jack Downing says by the Govern ment, we cant see lhe eend of this affair, but if they are in do wnright earnest, as their postscript asserts, and are determined to take up arms a? ■j gainst the judiciary, we have no doubt they will achieve many laurels, under the auspicious gui dan* eof their illustriou Chrononhotonthologus of war—alias the Supei intendant ofthe mighty work shop at Milledgeville. | *Our Devi] wants to know if this is not the writ that takes a man as well where he amt as where he arc. FROM THE run.AD. COM. INTELLIGENCER. ill COiNS QUENCES. Thedecision ofthe Houseot Representatives, on the bank question, has b tii received by the community, not w ith surprise, lor it was antici pated, but with feeling akin to despair. The commimih was not .Juul to tin- icsult- of. the policy of the Goveinm- nt. lhe consequences which they tcared, they are now about to real ; ize The madness of the ruler will be visited with seventy upon the people. Th- re will be 1 no panic; no c-nvulsi n; all will be calm and 1 certain. The operations ofthe blighting poli ' cy oi the Government will b< quieily fatal. It will creep over the business community, like the paralysis over the human system, with« ring ’ and blasting all its lit ami vigor. 'The current of business will be stayed- enterprise will be ' checked, and industry discouraged. New ' contracts will bo avoided, and every one will ! be solicitous, by curtailing his business, to * prepare for the future. The “droop’d head” of cmnmerce’w ill “.-ink gradually low;” and a fro- ’ z“n and fatal torpor will spread over the whole ■ business community. The bank must wind up; an immense capital ’ will be drawn liom the community. The veins of commerce, now sw< lied w ith a healthy cur -1 rency, will be drained. The depression will ’ reach all classes. The farmer and the laborer will suffer with the rest; ai d thousands whose daily toil gains their daily briad, will be forced from employment and constrained to repair, at ~ night, to their famishing families pennyless and desperate. “ M dl the people endure all this?—will they be 1 content to stand by & see the goodly prospects which Presidence and then own industry spread , before them, blasted anil made desolate by the e , evil passions of a bigotted faction? If they will bear this—if t! ey will drink without a mur mur, the bitter draught w i< h is commended to their lips, by their own servants, they are pre pared to endure any thing, ami the pride ami , the hope of the patriot, are but empty romance ’ and idle folly. I No Letter evidence could be given us. of (he . gfCnt necessity of guarding strictly against tho _ incorporation of monied monopolies by the go vernment, than is : fford'-d in (he language of . our suffering fellow-citizens throughout tho U , nil n, who are grinning under the effects of the . recent removal of the ejosites. From ail ( sections and all parties, petiuor.s am] memorials . ai" eveiy day temumg in upon the National Lc . gislature, complaining of the most unequalled distress, and praying the interposition of Con gress tor their relief. .No doubt th lesson wnich we have been thus taught, will result in i much real benefit to the country. Hitherto the d inger of permitting tlx Guv< rniiient to trail* scend the bounds defined by the ( onstitutiorr, has beon felt by compar tic ly but few of our citizens. I hey have all along been entirely too , much disposed to countenance the usurpations of power; the important truth, that “ power is rapidly stealing from the many to the fe ” has been acknowledged in theory but denied in practice too long ; and we thank heaven, that the distress which is now felt, has come upon us before our necks arc entirely chained to the vheels of despotism. Me look upon it as a “ hair-breadth ’scape;” and if it shall have the j efli ct to awaken us liom our drcams, we may Ibe thankful fur the trifling ills we feel. The government may yet be restored to its proper | channel. Only let the people awake to the ne cessity of adhering closely to the letter and spirit of the Constitution, and w<- shall never be subjected lo the n x ccs-itv of begging mercy at •he hands of 'i'yrmts....Columbus Encj.
