fare, though wo acknowledge that it S* sufficient!/ i
vapid- But when we avail ourselves of the la- J
hours of others, aud attempt to spice it with the j
productions of genius which we do not ourselves j
possess, it is oertainly mortifying to be thus re-’
warded p especially as we are not conscious of
having sinned beyond pardon. When has any ;
article appeared in our paper which can be fair- I
)y construed into an offence against religion or j
morality ? When have we wantonly offended the
eye of truth, or tinged with a blush the cheek of
modesty ? We challenge the most captious to j
prove that we have done any of these things.— ‘
Our correspondent has furnished us with no clew ‘
wherebtfpe can even guess at the description of j
readers whom we have so unfortunately disgusted;:
but we shall venture to assert, that they are nei
ther Pauls in piety, Solomons in vvisdom, Newtons
in science, nor Johnsons in literature. A dish of
personal invective, of political jargon, or sectarian
asperity, would probably best suit their palates,
and we certainly shall not complain if they in
dulge their own tastes ; only we must decline the
honour of furnishing the repast. We suppose,
from our correspondent’s allusion to the rat story
(published last week) that paragraphs of a some
what similar character are the occasion of the
complaints againstus. Now we will assert, with
aiflvhe gravity we posses;, that we never intended
our readers should believe one word more of this
story than they pleased; orof the accompanying
remark of the New York editor, that the rats in
Washington city have been seer, scampering from
the Clerks’ houses, with tears in their eyes ! The
first comes on as good authority as most occur
rences which reach us through the papers —the
editors in Providence assert that they have the
testimony of respectable gentleman on the subject,
& we verily believe it is considered no joke there.
But it is not our business to go into proofs —we
found the fact so stated,, and as faithful chroni
clers we felt hound to apprize our readers of a
novel. However, if it have a
afcntrary effect from what we intended, and
should give offence,we arewillingto atone for oor
erronr as far as possible,and will readily promise,
that, should every rat, which may happen b re
after to get into limbo in his
liberate himself by creeping out of his skin, we
will never mention one word of the matter. As
for the rats in Washington city, every body
knows it is in the power of Congress to dry tip
I heir tears; and sundry petitions will probably
be presented for their relief by the kinghts of the
quill employed in the publick offices. What the
result of such applications will be, we shall not
venture to predict; fop in the strife between
“ Radicals” and “ Prodigals” on the subject of
expenditures and accountability, many a con
gressional orator will doubtless exclaim in the
words of Hamlet,
A Rat , a Rat ! dead for a ducat, dead !
This cclaircissement with our readers has been
somewhat unpleasant, but we nevertheless assure
them with great truth, that we are in very good
humour, and hope we shall excite in al! a cor
responding temper of mind. We can likewise
assure them, that even in our ‘most perplexing
moments, w£en we feel ourselves most hardly
treated, we cannot find it in our hearts to wish,
that a single one of them may ever publish a news
paper. .1*
Interesting Intelligence from Spain.
Accounts direct from,Cadiz, to the 22d June,
have been received at'Philadelphia. They com
municate Jhe important fact, that the King and
Cortez of Spain arrived in that city on the t4th
of June, escorted by 6000 horse and foot. They
were compelled to leave Seville precipitately on
hearing that two thousand French horse were
rapidly advancing with the design of carrying off
the Kin? & his family. Ferdinand refused to leave
the place, as King of Spain, upon which the Gor
ges appointed a Regency, and brought off their
monarch as a private individual ! On his arrival -
at Cadiz he was immediately reinstated in the
royal dignity. The Cortez had opened their ses
sions, and still continue active in the adoption of
measures for carrying on the war. They hold
their sidings in the same hall where the Consti
tution was adopted in 1812, and proclaimed anew
and re-established in 1820. The plan of the
French to surprise the Cortez by a forced march
•of cavalry, was discovered and revealed by two
Spaniards, employed in very subordinate stations.
The Minister of War gave no intimation whatever
of the pgril, and is said to have cut his throat !
A Spanish General has been imprisoned, charged
with being Concerned in the plot.
The affairs of the Constitutionalists certainly
. appear less gloomy than formerly ; but the I rench
are spreading themselves all over the country,
and the war which was threatened the nionjpnt
the invaders reached Madrid', has not yit com
menced, although the Cadiz papers declare that
tlte Patriots have five armies in the field, and
hold possession of all the important fortresses.
Cadiz was blockaded by a French 74, and 4
frigates, and flour and rice were in great demand.
Several American vessels had been detained by
the blockading squadron, and compelled to make
another port.
By an arrival at Boston from Liverpool, paper
of the same date have be.ea rereived, as those by
the Minerva at New York. They contain no ad
ditional information of interest. A Spanish Cabi
net messenger arrived in London on the even mg
of the 10th June, with dispatches from the Mock
Regency at Madrid to Mr. Canning, and it is said
that the letters which he brought for the British
government, dated the Bth June, are for the pur
po c e of requesting that England will acknowledge
the Regency, according to the example given by
the Courts of Austria, Prussia, and Russia, to
gether with their underlings of Naples, Sardinia
and “id genus omne .” Now then, observes the
editor of the Londou Times, it is to be seen
whether Mr. Canning will lay the honour of Eng
land prostrate at the feet of a French General and
and hi traitor associates, the Spanish Regency.
IVe shall see whether our neutrality is as honest
as Mr. Canning boasted, not two months ago.
Neutrality commands that the messenger should
be immediately sent back with a peremptory dec
laration, that England cannot consider the 1 reneb-
Bpanish Regency in an> other light than a. a par
'.-,.1 of traitors against their King and country.
At the end of April last, Smyrna, in the Levant,
( was again the scene of riot and bloodshed. A
Turkish regiment of 300 men, just arrived, spread
| themselves over the'city and fired upon all the
I GrAtks whom th<-, t could discover. Several of
the latter were killed and wounded. The Pacha
interfered and caused the regiment to be sent
| away. i

The daughter of a Greek, called Spatar , has
[ traversed the islands in the garb of a warrior, and
I called upon the young men to enlist under the
banners of their country. She recruited, by her
activity* and enthusiastic!! eloquence, sixteen
companies of 50 men each, placed herself at their
head and proceeded with them to Napoli di Ro
mania.
Destruction of Pirates.
i Further and more authentick particulars of the
capture and destruction of Pirates by the Uni
ted States’barges—furnished by Lieut. Rose of
the Terrier, arrived at'Norfolk.
It appears that the barges Gallinipper and Mos
quito, under the conimaud of Lieut. Com. Wat
son, were proceeding along the coast on thefr way
to Matanzas, when they saw two piratical schoon
ers, and immediately pursued them. The pirates
stood in towards the land, but kept up a brisk fire
upon the barges—finally, they anchored close in
shore with springs on their cables, and brought
their broadsides to bear upon the barges, keeping
up a continual fire of large guns, musketry, Sic. —
Our brave feliows, however, kept on towards
them, unintimidated by the tremendous fire of
the enemy, which they did not think proper to
return until they were near, enough to pour in a
sure and destructive fire. When they were in
pistol shot of the large schooner, she parted her
springs and swung round,presenting only her bows
to the barges, which were rapidly approaching,
one on each bow, with intent to board, when the
pirates jumped overboard, some attempting to es
cape to the shore, and a few retreating to the
smaller vessel. At this moment the barges hav
ing considerable way on them, Lt. Watson, with
admirable presence of mind, gave the word to
pull in and cut them off from the shore. This
they completely effected, and then commenced
a ’dreadful havock—only one succeeded in reach
ing the shore, and he was pursued and shot. —
Forty of them were killed and six made prisoners.
Five who had been sent ashore in a boat previ
ous to the action to carry a f-male prisoner Hie
pirates had taken, (and to whom it is said they
behaved honourably) were captured by the in
habitants and carried to Matanzas. The prizes
were sent to Matanzas, and thence to Thomp
son’s island with the prisoners, whence the latter
were despatched hy the Ferret to Havana, where
they were delivered over to the civil authority,
and committed to prison.
The pirate captain was called Diabelto (Little
Devil) ou account of his desperate character. —
While the crews “oi the barges were firing pe'.l
tuell amongst the pirates in the water, he was
singled out from among them by a Spaniard, who
was acting as pilot to the barges, and who, after
pointing him out to Lieut. Watson, raised his
musket and very deliberately shot the Little Dev
il through the head.
This gallant affair, which reflects immortal hon
our on the men who achieved it, took place on
the very spot where fell the brave and accom
plished ALLEN. Watson was the ardent and
intimate Iriend of Allen—they were brothers in all
blit blood. They had shared togethei the hard
ships, the perils, and the honours of an active
service during the late war,and were both attach
ed to the U. S. brig Argus during her memorable,
cruise in toe British channel. By a remarkable
decree of fate, it has been reserved for Watson
to avenge the death of his murdered friend, on
the very spot where it occurred.
We are happy to learn that this victory was
achieved without the loss of a single drop of blood
on our side, notwithstanding the incessant fire to
which the barges were exposed. There were on
ly 25 men in the two barge 9 (16 in one and 9 fn
the other,) so that the odds_agaiii6t them were at
at least two to one.
The officers acting with Lt. Watson in this af
fair were Lt. Inman and Sailing Master Bain
bridge. When the Terrier left Thompson’s Isl
and, 20th July, Com. Porter, and the officers at
that place were in good health. The Commodore
was preparing an expedition to the Spanish Main.
DARING VILLANY.
i ‘SAVANNAH, AUGUST 5.
On Saturday'morning last the citizens of Savan
nah were ahirrned by the cry of Fire, which was
soon discovered to proceed from the buildings,
owned by Mr. A. Smith, under the Bluff. The
fire was first seen bet ween three and four o’clock,
and soon after burst simultaneously from the
buildings occupied by William Gaston and T.
Wright, which are divided by another building.
There Jvas from first to last, no fire in the latter,
and every thing in it *as saved. The two Build
ings in which the fires originated were entirely
destroyed—before the alarm was given the flames
were too far advanced to preserve them —Mon-
gin’s buildings which are only divided by a space
of about 6 nr 8 feet were preserved.—The incen
diary appears to have been actuated by a most
diabolical spirit, as iri both buildings the fire was
communicated to the Counting Rooms, ensuring
the destruction of the books even should the fire
have been discovered at an earlier period. The
books and papers of Messrs. Gaston and Wright,
together with those of Messrs. Cummirig &
Gwathmey, lodged in the counting Room of the
former, and those of Mr. S. J. Bourgeaux, were
destroyed, a considerable amount in goods was
in the store of Mr. Wright, very little of which
were saved. We do not know whether any
correct estimate of the loss has been made, but
we should think that 40.000 dollars would not be
an extravagant calculation. The deficiency of
the engines in serviceable hose is lamentable.
The men however did their duty well. A reward
of five hundred dollars has been offered by the
Mayor for the detection of the perpetratois—and
such measures have been adopted as will ensure
their detection if yet among us. ..

Melancholy Intelligence.— A trading and hunt
ing party, consisting of about 75 Americans, com
manded by Gen. Ashley, left our frontier settle
ments the past Spring for the Rocky Mountains.
On the 2d of June, two or three hundred miles
above the Council Bluffs, they were attacked by
the Ricaras Indians, who killed 14 of the Ameri
can party, and wounded 9. Gen. Ashley then
took post with a boat and thirty men, a few miles
below where the attack was made, and sent his
wounded and disaffected men back to Council
Bluffs. Although our government bad no con
nexion with the party or expedition of Ashley, it
bein.;an individual enterprise.ColonelLeaven
; worth, by order of General Atkinson, marched
from Council Bluffs on the 22d of June, with a
body of troops and friendly Indians, to punish the
Ricaras, who were reported to have taken post
and fortified themselves. It is supposed that the
attack was instigated by the British agents or tra
ders. who, hearing of the American expedition,
and jealous of American enterprise, adopted that
mode of checking and arresting it. ,
The London Examiner states that anew poem
by Lord Byron, called the “Island, or Christian
and His Comrades,” has lately been received from
Italy, and will probably appear in a few weeks.
The story is founded on fact—the well known
mutiny of the Bounty; the scent* are laid in the
| South Sea Islands, and the noble Lord, it is said,
has been particularly successful in handling a sub
ject, which is certainly of a very striking and pop
ular description.
The Woodstock HeraM states upon the assu
rance of a respectable gentleman, that a son of
Aaron Burr, and a son of Afcxander Hamilton,
both write in the same hflice at St. Louis, Missou

A shocking m-irder was committed on Stony
Creek, in Nash county, on the afternoon of the
25th ult. the particulars of which, as stated to us
by a correspondent, are as follows : Eli Vick weut
•to the house of Hardy G. Whitfield, for the pur
pose of grinding an when a dispute arose
between thfem, and Vick having Btarted on his
way home, with the axe upon his shoulder, Whit
field discharged a gun at him from the door; the
contents of which striking him on the neck, tem
ple and head, terminated his existence instantly.
The coroner held a jury of inquest over the body
of the deceased, aifd the officers of justice were
immediately despatched in pursuit of the murder
er. Whitfield is about 38 or 40 years of age,
stout made, 5 feet 5 or 6 inches high, has yellow
eyes, a double set of upper fore teeth, dark
small Roman nose, and a ring or tetter worm on

We feel pleasure in mentioning, and we trust
we mention the fact with becoming sentiments of
gratitude to the Great Author of all good, that
this place is at present in the enjoyment of fine
and general health ; aud we mention this circum
stance more particularly in consequence of re
ports which some persons sopgi to take pleasure
in circulating abroad, that the place is very sick
ly. Such reports are, indeed, circulated we be
lieve, every year, and we scarcely consider them
in general worthy of notice—but we received last
mail, from the up-country, a letter from an intel
ligent correspondent, who wished some articles
forwarded to him, but who observed “it was diffi
cult to find a wagon coming this way, on ac
count of (he sickness here.” As we who live in
the place were not apprised of any cause for such
alarm, we inquired of.seme of the medical gentle
men in high practice, and were assured by them
that there was comparatively no sickness at all
here—and that they never knew the place more
healthy in the month of August. We would not
undertake to say that no individual was sick in
the place, though we know of none who are so ;
hut we can assure our friends both at home and
abroad, with confidence and gratitude, that this
city is indeed very healthy. [ Chronicle.

Mr. Thompson, Secretary of the Navy, has
been appointed by the President, Judge of the
Supreme Court of the United Stfctes, so fill the
vancancy occasioned by the death of Judge Liv
ingston. It is understood, as stated in the Na

en his assent to the appointment, though his com
mission is not yet issued, and he will not enter
upon the duties of his office till he has closed some
business in the Navy Department, with the de

any inconvenience or delay from his resignation.
Mr. Thompson was foi seventeen years Judge of

Marshal JVVy,—An article is going the rounds
in the publick prints by which it appears that the
brave but unfortunate Marshal Ney, who was shot
at Paris on the restoration of the Bourbons, was
an Americanly birth, was born near Klkton, Ma
ryland, and that his proper name was Michael
Rudolph. His history is briefly this: he commen
ced his military career, and received the first ru
diments of his education in Capt Lee’s dragoons
of the Maryland Line during the Revolution, troro
which he was honourably discharged.
He was horn in Cecil county, iri that State, and
after the period of his discharge from the army he
removed to Carolina, where he married ; but his
matrimonial connexion rendered him unhappy,
on which he left his family, took a vessel to the
West Indies, remitted the proceeds, and declined
returning to his'native country ; since which, no
trace could be fouud of him, until the French go
vernment after the execution of Ney, lonk pos
session of his papers and made the discovery.
Gen. L&lleroand, when in this country, while
travelling through Maryland from Philadelphia An
Baltimore, confirmed this by a reference to the
circumstance. — Sav. Rep.
A young man of Charlotte, (Vt.) aged about
twenty years, by the name of Isaac Straw, put an
end to his existence by banging himself, on
the morning of the sth July. It appears he had*
been guilty of some improper conduct, and was
severely reprimanded, which had such an effect
on his mind, that he took this method to put an
end to dll his troubles in this world, and com
mence upon them in the next.
DIED,
In this county, on the 11th inst. Mi*s Cornelia
Saunders, aged 23. This young lady gave satis
factory evidence to those who saw her in the last
stages of life, that she was prepared for the great
change which was so soon to take place ; and
evinced that perfect resignation which can alone
smooth the pillow of death, and rob the dreadful
messenger of his terrors. In the of her
illness, she frequently prayed that not her own,
but the will of her heavenly Father, might be done;
and her friends have the consolation of believing
that to her a change of worlds has been infinite
gain. In view of those affecting instances of the :
triumph of Christian faith afforded by the death-
beds of the pious,we may Well exclaim, “ 0 death,
where is thy sting ! O grave, where is tby victo
ry 1”

solemn and splendid, aud 2000 troops assisted at
it. The pall bearers were Marshals Jourdon and
Montier, and Lieut. Generals Belliard and Mai
