We well remember, on the occasion of the fu
neral of the lamented Senator Bcrrill., when
the Senators were assembled to pay the last
honours to his remains, the produced
by Mr. Wai.ker's walking, pale
across the Hall, passing near the bier: “ 1 know
what you are thinking of,” said he, to some of the
Senators, whose countenances betrayed their
emotion, tlieieeyes glancing mournfully from the
living to the dead—“ You are thinking it mill be
•my turn next.” On another occasion, we recol
lect a Senator from Massachusetts was answering,
with great animation, a Speech of Mr. Walker’s,
when the latter was seized with a fit of coughing,
which almost strangled him. The Senator who
was on the floor immediately took his seat, de
claring that he was incapable of pursuing his ar
gument under such circumstances as those under
which he beheld the gentleman from Alabama.
From day to day, indeed, it was almost a matter
of surprize to find him still among the living.
Notwithstanding his weakness, however, Mr.
Walker whs unremitting in his attention to his
publick duties, and perhaps no man was ever so
short a time ill the Councils of his country, who
left behind him more friends or a more enviahle
fame. Nat. Intel.

MOUNT ZION, MONDAY, MAY 12, 1323.
■Uor unknown correspondent, “ A Lover of
Triilh,” appears to have mistaken the principal
point in the controversy to which he alludes. He
has also imputed “ strictures” to us which are j
from the pen of another. His remarks, however, j
are candidly written, and though wo do not agree
with him in all his opinions, we should, neverthe
less, admit his communication info our columns,
y 7
did we not fear it might tend to prolong a discus
sion which we never courted, and which we have
no inclination to see pursued in our paper.—
Whenever the controversy assumes a character
which will allow to his remarks a legitimate bear
ing on tlje subject in dispute, we shall readily j
give them publicity.
F.ifract of a Letter from the Rev. YVjw. FI. Rarr,
(o one of the Editors of this paper, dab and,
Abbeville, April 28, 1823.
Rev. and Dear Brother —The Rev. T. C. Stu
art, Missionary to the Chickasaw*, arrived here
on the 18th iust. and on the 22d 1 had the honour
of joining him in the marriage relation with .viiss
Susan Caldwell, of this District. She is a pious
and amiable Woman,and, I trust, in every respect
well qualified for the missionary life. Mr. Stuart,
with his help-meet, will set out for the Station,
about the sth of next month.
When Mr. Stuart left Monroe, all was well
(lie Mission Family were in good health and high
spirits —the school was in successful operation—
the congregations that assembled for publick wor
ship were large and solemn, for a heathen coun
try ; and in short, every thing holding out a flat
tering prospect of ultimate success in the attempt
to civilize and evangelize this long neglected
Tribe.
Annexed, you have a list of some donations
which I have lately received, in aid of the funds
of the Missionary Society of the Synod of South
Carolina and Georgia. You will observe, that a
large proportion of these receipts are the product
of mission fields. And lam inclined to believe,
that there is no way in which our treasury could
be more easily replenished, than by the annual
cultivation of a small lot of ground, the proceeds
of which should be devoted exclusively to mis
sionary purposes. Contributions made in this
way, would generally be given with much cheer
fulness, because, from the time of planting it had
been devoted to the I.nrd, and such contributions
would he but little felt by the donors, because,
these little fields would generally be cullb-ated as
an amusement in hours of relaxation; and the
cultivation of such a lot of ground would also
have a happy tendency in keeping alive the mis
sionary spirit , because every time the eyes be
held it, or the hands were employed in its culti
vating the person would be reminded of the bles
sing/he enjoyed, and of the miseries of those that
were strangers to all the arts of civilized life, and
strangers to the still richer blessings of the Gospel
of Christ. ■> *

FOREIGN NEWS.
The latest accounts from England are to the
23d of March, at which time no intelligence had
been received of the actual invasion of Spain by
the French troops. Every thing seemed to indi
cate, however, that such an event woudd shortly
transpire. The Duke d’Angonleme left Paris on
the 15th March, and it was believed that on Lie
arrival in the South of France, the army would be
immediately put in motion. The course which
England vHll pursue in relation to the approach
ing contest is still problematical. Mr. Canning
stated in Parliament, that “ at prevent there is
no specifick ground which could involve England
in war.” It is the ostensible policy of the Eng
lish government to remain neutral, though such a
course, under present circumstances, must be ex
tremely difficult, and may not be really intended.
In Spain active exertions are making to put the
country in a state of defence. Among the offi
cers who are to have important commands, arc
Generals Mina, Ballasteros and Morillo. The
regular forces are estimated at 150,000 men ; and
great reliance is placed on the co-operation of
the militia. The King and Cortes, it is said, have
left Madrid for Seville.
Greeks. —Letters from the Levant announce
| that the Greeks have made a descent upon Srnyr
| na, and having levied a contribution on that city, |
re-embarked, taking with them all their fellow
countrymen at that place.
The French government has refused permission
to the Greek fugitives in Germany, desirous of
returning to their native country by way of Mar
ftilles, to enter the French territory. The Swiss,
on the contrary, receive them in the most friendly
manner, and endeavour to procure them passa
ges for Ancona or Leghorn via Piedmont.
lIHE PIRATES.
Certain information has been received of the des
truction of the piratical schooner La Cata, by the
Grecian (English) cutter. Both vessels ran
aground within gun-shot, and a spirited fire was
kept up for sometime—ti e pirates fighting under
the bloody flag, (.: red flag with a death’s head.)
The La Cata finally blew up, supposed by acci
dent, and a considerable numberof the ciew wore
destroyed. The survivors swam ashore, where
they encountered a body ofseamenfrom the Hy
perion frigate, who had landed in time to meet
them on the beach. Here they were cut down
in such numbers as to induce the captain of the
Hyperion, who was present, to revoke his order
(hat none should he spared—the carnage being
so great as to excite commiseration, evtn for pi
rates. About 40 were made prisoners.
Lafitte, so notorious a a smuggler and pirate
on the Florida cotist, and who lately commanded
a piratical schooner in the West Indies, has been
killed in an action with a British sloop. Flis ves
sel was captured, and most of the crew perished
with their ferocious leader.
The Zaragoza, a piratical vessel of large size,
was captured by the English on the 31st March,
on the coast of Cuba. Ten pirates were killed,
and 28 made prisoners. The English loss was 1
killed and 5 wounded. The captain of the Zar
agoza had boasted that lie was the man who killed
Lieut. Allen, of the U. S. schr. Alligator.
A PIRATE TAKEN.
Extract of a letter from an American officer to his
friend in this city.
Havana, April 9, 1823, )
United States schr. Pilot. )
“ I have only time to tell you, that we captur
ed a piratical schooner, called the Pilot, yesterday
morning about 8 o'clock, about twenty miles to
the eastward of Havana. Two cutters accom
plished this. The action lasted about fifteen
minutes, during which time they kept up a brisk
and spirited fire. YVe killed two, and wounded
several; one prisone r taken. YVe pursued them
tothewood9 with the marines and u lew sailors;
but the hushes being so thick, we could dot find
them. One of them was killed on the beach,
ihe marines were stationed in the boats, snd be
haved with their usual bravery. The pirate had
on board one fortified six pounder, which they
let slip at us four times, loaded with grape and
cannister. The boats were commanded by Lieut.
Stribliug. Strange to say, not a man in our boats
sustained an injury. The pirates had on board
many muskets, blunderbusses, cutlasses, pistols,
swords, and a great deal of ammunition.
The captain of the pirate displayed a great deal
of bravery. One of the pirates was killed on
board, the other on the beach. The prisoner
states there were thirty-six men on hoard the
Pilot.” Nat. Intel.

From the National Intelligencer.
LIBERIA.
The Baltimore Morning Chronicle gives a state
ment, from which it appears, that the American
Colonists on the West Coast of Africa enjoy
good health, but art exposed to a worse affliction
than sickness:
The acting agent writes, under date of Novem- j
her 30: “ Nearly all the tribe? around us are com- j
billed in war against us. Their principal object i? ‘
plunder. They attacked us on the morning of
the 11th November, at break of day, 800 in
number, killed and mortally wounded one mail,
o/ie boy, and one woman; wounded four others,
and took captive seven children. All our forces
have for a month stood upon their arms through
; the night.” The arrangements of the colonists
would have prevented this partial surprise, but,
1 at the point where the foe made the attack, part
of the guard were dosing .’ The enemy appeared
! in one compact body, and drove the whole com
i pany, after wounding one half, into the town,
i They were, however, in twenty minutes after
wards, oouipelted to retreat in a solid mass, the
; centre of which was raked by a long 18, loaded
j w ith grape. They carried away nearly all their
dead and wounded.
| On the morning of the 2d of December, the
! Colony was again attacked by the native war
| riours, swelled in number to 1,500. The attack
was made in two opposite points at the same
time; but, so determined was the defence, and so
great was the terrour spread among the natives
by the great guns, that the yell for a retreat was
soon sounded, and the whole 1,500 ran away in
great consternation.
It in remarkable, that the acting agent, who
Was exposed to the hottest of the fire, and receiv
ed six bullet holes through his surtout, should es
cape without a wound. And it in equally re
markable, that 28 men and boys (for this was the
whole military force of the Colonists) siiould. in
two successive engagements, repulse 800, and
1,500 armed rath, with the loss of only two men,
oue boy, and one woman. The history of the
eaily settlements of America inform us, however,
that a few men acquainted with the European
mode of warfare can pul to route a whole host of
savages.
This war cut off all intercourse with the natives
who had before supplied the colony with poultry,
vegetates, eggs, honey, and other articles, and,
as they had no metns of communication with
| Sierra Leone, the cohnists were in great want of
all kinds of fresh provision, and, at the date of the
I agent’s last letter.*, had been six weeks on an al~
I loirance of bread and meat.
The morning after Ihe second battle, the com
j mandant of the British armed schooner Prince
Regent, then providentially in the offing, sent
about 20 marine* to the assistance of the Colo
nists, with a supply of ammunition and provisions.
Capt. Laing, the late celebrated African trav
eller, than whom no man on the continent is bet
ter acquainted with the native character, the
next day entered into a negotiation with the head
men for peace. They unanimously consented to
a truce, and to submit all differences to Gov.
M’Carthy, under whose mediation a treaty of
peace is to be entered into. The British marines
arc left to keep up the truce—and, by this happy
arrangement, the trade with the natives for poul
try, &c. has been renewed.
Soon affpr the truce was effected, the com
mander of a Colombian aimed vessel offered to
present the establishment with anew elegant
prize schr. of 50 tons. This will add materially
to the security of the settlement, and furnish the
.means of intercourse with Sierra Leone, or any
other place on the const.
Gambia. —The Society of Friends, desirous of
benefiting the inhabitants of this river, are culti
vating a knowledge of the chief languages, with
reference to the establishment of schools and the
introduction of the Scriptures in that place. . A
Mr. Singleton from the Society of friends, has
made a visit to that coast, under their patronage.
At St. Mary’s an Island at the mouth of the Gam
bia, the YVesleyan Missionary Society have erect
ed pi place for publick worship, ’the Missiona
ries here are endeavouring to acquire the Jaloof
and Maudingo languages.
Resolution of Spain. —A newspaper printed at
Madrid has the following observation* on the ap
proaching crisis of affairs in that country. “As
to danger from abroad—if foreigners invade Spain
we will invade France. If they send against us
100,000, we will send 200,060 to meet them. If
they succeed in the first onset irt occupying some
provinces, we understand well enough what is to
be done to dislodge them; if they persist in their
design we will not be driven from ours, and Span
iards need not fear that foreigners can overcome
them in constancy. But it is said the French are
very rich and the Spaniards are poor, and this is
precisely our advantage. No people ever pre
served ils liberty by mere dint of money; and if
the Spaniards had been as rich, and as much ac
customed to luxury as the French, few of them
would on the approach of Napoleon have aban
doned their homes. YVe are indeed poor, but not
so much so as our enemies suppose ; and finally,
we are patient and enduring, and shall want nei
ther bread nor steel.
Post Offices. —By a lute statement from the
post master general, it appears that there are in
the United States, 5252 post offices, that the gross
amount of postages during the year 1822, was
$1,128,023, compeusatiou to post masters $356,-
155. Incidental expenses of the department,
$22,958. Expense of transporting the mail over
85,554 miles of road $777,753, and that the bal
ance against the general post office is $28,843.
f.ast year it was $125,265. The gross amount of
postage during the year was $71,365 more than
that of 1821, whilst the expense of transportation
was less. It is very doubtful, however, if con
gress continues yearly to multiply roads, whether
the establishment can support itself much longer.

Extract of a letter from a gentleman ir. New
Orleans, to his friend in this city, dated March
28.—“ There has been a duel here this morning,
between two young men, Felix De Armas and a
Mr. Jackson, from New York, which terminated
in the death of the latter. Quarrels have been
running very high between the French and Amer
icans in this place: the former belongs to the
French, the latter to the American party. I have,
however, never heard of Felix De Arinas being a
party man. The quarrel originated in apiece
that was published in the Louisiana Advertiser, of
March 26, signed “An Enemy to Corruption ;”
end reflecting on a brother of De Armas, who was
making interest for the office of judge, which the
Senate hud contemplated to add to the former
number of judges. These two young men quar
relled yesterday, and met this morning: Jackson
was shot the first tire. This is a melancholy affair
—both the young men were highly respected. 1
am told Jackson has a mother in New Fork.”

Russian Clergy. —Mrs. Henderson, in a letter
published in the Missionary Herald, says that at
the time when a Bible society was formed in No

who had never seen a Bible, and ou hearing of it,
asked what kind of a book it was.
Indian Females. —Mr. Giddings, in his journal
of a tour among the Indians of the Missouri, says
that the females possess much more vindictive
spirit than the males. They often set on foot a
war dance, with a view of exciting the men to
war, and, to reproach them with cowardice,
swing an old petticoat in their faces, telling them
to wear it, and let them (the females) take the
war club and tomahawk.
