A late London paper gives the following
striking case:
On Tuesday evening an inquest was holden
’ fore Mr. Baker, at the Rose and Crown
. üblic house, Charles street, Stepney, on
ow of the body of Miss Betsy Harris, a tine
uni" woman, 21 years of age, who came to
r death under the following circumstances :
Mr. Richard Pater, a Surgeon, residing in
ihe Commercial road, stated that on Sunday

a,mud her lying on the carpet in the back par

as not cold. For the satisfaction of her
. aends he opened a vein in the arm, but only
i few drops of blood followed the incision.
n that morning lie opened the body and head
if the decased, and found the brain in a state
f congestion. This, lie imagined, was pro
luccd by compression on the descending aor

ae time of her death was reallv incredible -
■■’he elfect of the pressure was, that the blood
us prevented from passing in its ordinary

New 1 ark Daily A<lc,
0/ A Miss Mk:\ t gi.e, of Reading Penn,
was dancing with a number of young persons
and fell suddenly dead, caused, as ’tis said,
by fight lacing and excessive fatigue. Why
wiH not these repeated and awful warnings
lead to moderation in the indulgence of any
p.casuro ? How freqently do we hear voting
ladies declare that they danced in every co°.
til lion, that is from 9 probably until 12 or 1
o clock. Is it not reasonable to infer that
tour or five hours on the floor, occupied in
the fatiguing mazes of the dance, must pro,
duce great excitement and consequent pros
tration of strength—that the head must be
giddy—the muscles unbraced—the limbs ja
ded, and (when we see the refreshment eaten
at intervals.) the stomach overloaded and dis
ordered ! \\ hy will not young ladies agree
to dance every other or third cotillion ? Why,
when the music ceases, do they persist in oc
cupying the same place with another part
ner a™ l going through the same steps—the
same fatiguing exertions? In old times it was
to guard against such boisterous, hoyden and
jading exercise, that minuets were invented
and made fashionable, and nothing Could be
more graceful than an elegant couple walk
ing a minuet with taste and delicacy* If we
were to introduce the Spanish contra-dance,
we should avoid the fatigue of the English or
French cotillion.
But of all sins which mothers stand ac
countable for, that of permitting .their daugh
ters to lace inordinately tight, is tire most
crying. If mothers would attend a few lec
tures oh practica. anatomy and the formation
of the chest they would be shocked at the
inevitable destructive results of compression
or tight lacing,and be convinced that every
pull of the fatal cord is as ruinous to life as
the noose is to the condemned malefactor.
But what is intended by tight lacing? To
exhibit a fine person. What constitutes a
fine person: A shape naturally delicate
and finely proportioned. Such a shape re
quires do artificial pres ure. Take a young
lady in robust health, inclined to obesity
and lacc her uncommonly tight, instead of
approving the figure it gives it the appear
ance ol an Hour Glass, X, which bulges out
at the top and bottom—the circulation of the
blood is stopped, the whole system deranged,
and then dancing drives the blood to the head,
i and appoplexy and death ensue. This fash
ion is a great despot, and possesses a danger
ous eccentricity. In Turkey it is the fash
ion for ladies to be fat, consequently they
take no pains to check dame nature in heir
free and successful course—there, they are
all fat, not proportronably so, but our ladies
are only miscellaneously thin—they thin their
waist, the most dangerous- part of the human
structure, and thus walk or dance a moving
monument or statue, composed cf whalebone,
stay, tape, and buckram.—[.V. I. Enquirer.

The Southern Recorder of yesterday says—
“ The panic in regard to the notes of the Macon

has al meet entirely subsided. The bills have
been redeemed by the Bank as fast as they wore
presented, and we understand they afe considered
as good and will be taken atthe Central Bank.”

has existed since April, yesterday underwent an
other alteration. Hereafter nothing will "be re

fear of our critical acumen before its eyes, did
in its issue of June 14, A. D. 1831, without hes
itation, prevarication, or “ mental reservation,”
inform the good people of the State of Georgia,
that the City Council of Augusta had appointed
a Committee to solicit subscriptions for tlie Fay

of an early attention to’this highly laudable act,
he, the aforesaid Constitutionalist, did issue,pub

Augusta Chronicle, which said, as plain as Words

EX-PHESI 1 )ENT MONROE.
In approaching this gentleman, it seems as if
we were treading upon holy ground. We recol
lect his patriotic services with gratitude, ami arc
proud to place him among the Benefactors of tlie
Republic—but there are some circumstances con
nected with his official station, which we do not
know how to reconcile with our ideas of propriety.
Delias condescended contrary to the usages cf
cur government, to become tlie recipient of the
charities of Mobile and New-Orleans, and in do
ing so, he has at tributed to himself a degree of po
litical consequence injurious fo the we 11-earned
fame of Andrew Jackson. Mr. Monroe, it is true,
is in the
“ Lean and slipper’d pantaloon”—
and wc would impute his strongccouducttoFiippr
annuation, did we not recollect that when Presi
dent of the United State*: he tent ale” “of
A j
General Jackson, w hich was afl-important to a
right understanding of the Seminole Campaign.
The intense interest of that affair, is well known
to every one acquainted with the cotemporaneous
history of our country. How then can it be sup
posed, that the then President of the IS. States,
could forget a document of such agitating impor
tance, and one too which was so immediately
connected with the political reputation- el’ our
country? W e cannot conceive how it could be,
unless there was, even at that time, an understand
ing, betweetr Messrs. Monroe and Calhoun, to
destroy the public character of Andrew Jackson.
Taking these circumstances altogether, we believe
that Me. Monroe is in league with Henry Chy
and John C. Calhoun.

committee, and Mr. Monroe’s reply to it, w hich

J.v::::s Monroe,
Late E resident of the United States.
Gentlemen*,
l have received your very interesting letter
of the 4th of April, with the remittance spe
cified in it. 'File generous sentiments which
my follow citizens of New Orleans have ex
pressed of my conduct in the service of my
country in the various important trusts in
which 1 have been placed, and in the most
difficult conjunctures through which we have
passed, as well as of their zeal to relieve me
from the losses and embarrassments to which
1 have been exposed, have in a high degree
excited my Sensibility, and command my
most grateful acknowledgments.
I never presented any claims on my Gov
ernment and Country untH my retirement
trom office. I had al.vays indulged a Strong
hope that by the sale of a great portion of rny
property, 1 might be able to redeem the loss
es and sacrifices to which my missions abroad
had exposed mo, leaving a remnant which
would secure comfort to myself and my fami
ly for the remainder of our days. In this I
was entirely disappointed, the evidence of
which is established by the sale of all my
property in Albemarle and Kentucky'. Ire
grot to add, that the reparation which has
been made to rnc lately by Congress not only
failed to prevent the sale of my property, but
left me under difficulties which have tmccas
ingly annoyed tne since. In the claims which
were presented lor losses, sacrifices and sub
sequent services, I asked no favor, and I invi
ted scrutiny with the utmost rigor, in all the
instances on which they were founded : nor
did I ask that any thing should he allowed
me, which was not due on sound principles,
and which my country owed it to itself to al
low'.
In a review of the emergencies through
which we have passed, it affords me great con
solation to know that a zealous and faithful
[attention has been paid by me, in the stations
which I have held, to every portion of the
country, according to the nature of the press
ure on it. At a very early period, l became
satisfied that the peace, if not tlie preserva
tion of the Union, depended on the command
of the Mississippi. The whole Western
country, from the Northern extremity of Lake
Erie tiv our Southern limit, was vitally inter
j estdd in the free use of its waters. Of my
i services in promoting this object, which corn
! monced in the Revolutionary (.’degress of
i 1786—were renewed in my mission to Prince
|in 1795—and made the special object cf the
second, in 1803—with the happy 'results
which attended the latter, aut’ic-.,tic dccu-j
merits, already published, afford you a view.
For the generous feelings evinced towards'
me by my follow citizens of Nr w Orleans, and j
the aid they have afforded me, under rny riitfi-j
critics, I beg you to a: sure them of my grate- j
ful acknowledgements, and for the kind and
friendly manner in which they have been
communicated, accept for yourselves, the as
surances of my high r sped and cstuorn.

LATEST FROM EUROPE.
The packet ship Birmingham, at New York
trom Li verpool, luings London papers to the
evening of the 6th May, and Liverpool to the
Ihe Journal of Commerce, Evening
Post and American furnish us with the fob
lowing interesting items.
1 he account from the scat of war in Poland
arc to the 21st April. The Poles, it will be
seen, though without any well authenticated
account ol new business, arc still on the nd
\ ance, and acting offensively, having occu
pied Siedleo, the late head quarters of the
Russians, who, in their turn, re-crossed the
Bug, a retrograde movement, that indicates
great weakness or apprehension. The War
saw papers .of the.2lst -April, contain.an ac
count (given below) of.a most hazardous at
tack made by 6,000 Poles against four times
number of Russians. They were compelled
to retreat of course ; hut it appears Rom
bkrzynecki’s account of the affair, that they
retreated with credit, not having lost any of
their artillery. The courage and spirit of this
gall int nation, continues unabated.
The Nuremberg Correspondent, quoted in
the London Coutier of the 6th May, says,in an
article from Bucharest of 10th April, that the
Russian troops, with the exception of a small
force to garrison that town, were to withdraw
over the Prutl), and go into cantonments in
lo.lolia, Lllhuana, and Volhynia. The with
drawal of those troops was looked upon ufi in
dicative of the confidence of Russia, that no
disturbances were to bo apprehended on the
part of the Turks-. The Courier finds a
more, probable explanation of their movement
in the insurrections which have broken out
in the old Polish provinces, and that it is
doomed important even at the risk of evacu
ating Wallachia, and leaving it open to the
Turks, to hasten troops into the revolted pro
vinces.
RETREAT OF TIIE RUSSIANS.
The■ Messager ties Chambres of 2d of May
has this paragraph : “The news arrived this
morning affords three remarkable facts ; the
occupation of Seidlec by the Polish General
Lmi.-iski, announced in the official Gazette of
Warsaw ; tlie retreat of the left wing of the
Russmns, stationed at Kook upon Vieprcz
and Radjicujan ! the retreat of Marshall Dic
bitseh across tlie Bug,announced in the Whir
saw Courier ot the 9ih -Nothingcan explain
these remarkable and serious facts which
would decide the freedom of Poland, but the
insurrection of the Lithuanians, Yolbynians
and even among the Russians themselves,
which have obliged Dicbitsch to march to the
assistance of the Empire, menaced with dis
memberment by a revolution, which appears
to extend from Livonia to Podo.ia, and which
perhaps at this moment disturbs PetciTbur'di
itself.” .
The account received from Merne’l, at Dun
dee, in Scotland, repeats the rumor of a g.eat
battle on the 15th,in w hich 16,000 Litlmnian
are said to have gone over to the Poles, and
that the Russians had been completely routed,
losing military chest, Ac. As, however, there
is direct information from Warsaw, four days
later than the alleged battle—it is probabiv
only a minor.
Paris Mcssager dr s Chambres of sth
May, contradicts, oil the authority of the Mo
niteur, the warlike construction put upon
certain movements of tl Austrian Army in
Italy, and the consequent match of French
troops.
ihe elections in England go on triumph
ant y. lor reform. Out of three hundred and
eighty members returned, there had been an
actual gain to the cause ot reform of eighty’.
Liverpool had rejected Gen. Gascogne, who
ua > been one of its representatives for almost
half a century-, we believe? Mr. Ewart and
Mr. Denison are elected. The Lord Advo
cate, .Mr. Jeffrey, tailed in Edinburgh,which
i.s a close rote ot the Guilds or Corporations,
thirty-three in all. Mr. Dundus bad seven
teen ; Mr. Jeffrey 14; scattering 2. Some
riotous proceedings ensued, which Mr. Jef
frey took the greatest-pains to suppress—in
forming the mob which ho liarrangued, that he
had taken Jt upon himself to countermand the
military force that was called out, and there
fore relied upon the citizens not to create dis
turbances'. It needed, however, all the civic
force to dispel the rioters.
Mr. O’Conncl is said to be elected for the
borough of Dungarvin. •
In Ireland, great distress continues to
lie experienced. The Limerick Evening
Pest announces fresh outrages in the county
ol Clare. Air. O’Connell was about travelling
through that part of Ireland, with a view to
exert his influence to quiet the people.
Revolution has extended to Greece too,and
Capo d'lstras has been obliged to abdicate the
Government. Marcho Marchali had been
iffiiced at tin head of a temporary Council of
government.
In I’ ranee, all was quiet. The French funds
were rising, being quoted on 4th May, for 5
per cents, 83 70, 3 per cents. 62 33.' -
In Italy, it appears that the success of the
Austrians in checking the insurrection had
been complete—Some diplomatic conferen
ces are, how i ver, to tuke place at Rome. The
Jcath of the King of Sardinia had been an
ro'Jhcrd in Paris and London, with the fur*

Extract from an Official Despatch addressed to
the National Government cf Poland.
The enemy, whom our troops obliged to j
abandon the right bank of the Vistula, and
who concentrated his forces on the Siedlec I
road, uneasy at seeing his communications
with Bialyatock by the way of Grame cut off,
dctatched against Gen Uminski the corps of
Gen. Ugrowroow, consisting of the fifth regi.
meat of infantry, one division of grenadiers,
one battalion of sappers, two of
cavalry, and two batteries of artillery, or#c of a
large calibre. At sight of so superior a force
Gen. Uminski thought it advisable to recrosa
the Li wire, leaving only one detachment to
defend the hastily constructed bridge head,
which the enemy attacked vigorously. Gen-
Uminski ordered the Ist Hulans to ford tho
river and attack six of the enemy's squadrons
w liich were posted on the opposite bank.—
This order was successfully executed. Onr
cavalry repulsed that ofthe enemy, killed 53
men, made 509 prisoners and captured 20ft
horses. Observing, however, that the enemy
was renewing his attacks on tho bridge head
with continual supplies of fresh troops, Gen.
Uminski gave orders % evacuating the post,
and then Major ChleWski and 50 wounded
soldiers were made prisoners by the Russians.
The engagement terminated by a heit\y
cannonade, and on this occasion our artillery
gave proofs of extraordinary courage, having
only a few field pieces to oppose <aa nunrt'r-'
ous artillery of a large calibre, Qur loss hi
these affairs has been 20 officers, 160 sub-offi
cers and men, and 20 wounded. On the 16th
of April, Gen. Uminski again look Wygrow,
where lie found forty of our wounded men,
und was unable to estimate the extent of fho
enemy’s loss. y l’hc number of his wounded
amounted to 400, among whom are. Lieuten.
ant-Cokmc! Tylle of the sappers, a ma jor pnd
1 inferior officers. On the field of battle
were found several hundred] muskets, and in
Wygrow a quantity of provisions.
All (lie right bank of the Vistula is cleared
of the enemy, . The army corps of Generals
Pac and Sicrawsky have crossed the river-,
are in full march towards the palatinates of
Podlachia and Lubin, where they are taking
possession of the Russian magazines. Gen.
Dwernicki, who was detained for some, time
by the badness of the roads in the neighbor,
hood of Zamosc, advanced in Order to deceive
the enemy, as far us Zwiersiec, in the direc
tion of tlie Vistula, where he-.guve orders 4br
collecting supplies of provisions at
and Zanow. His design of routing the ene
my by a forced march, succeeded pcrfcctly'Jas
is attested by the report of field marshal Die
bitscli himself. However, Gen. Ihyerriijphi
profited by bis halt near Zamosc to provision
the fortress more abundantly, to complete-its
garrison and the army corps under- com
mand, by the men taken from tfiq cpmrouial
guard, and the volunteers who thronged freiu
all parts, and as soon as he found tlie roads
passable, marched towards tho Bug,'"Tic
routed and took some enemy’s detachment.;
which were stationed on that river-, which he
passed with all his troops. Thus the noise of
our cannon resounded on that spot which had
so long been subjected to a foreign yoke,—
Every whefe on iiis march Gen. Dwernipki
and his troops were received as deliverers-by
our countrymen, the Vqlhvnians., The lust re
port of Gen. Dwernicld is dated three .marsh
es bevond the Bug.
