Dov after day passed in these perpet ual interruptions. Horatio had not a i •moment to spare, eiljier (or ease or excr- ! else, and was tired to death. ,1 wish to heaven,’ said lie, ‘I was u prv.tte mail, with nothing to do but what 1 pleased. Ah ! Mr Mirvan, lam glad j to see yon. It is a delightful thing to i receive a visit from one who wants no- ; thing. * Mirvan was an old friend of Horatio, anther eccentric person. Some people I thought him wise, others a fool, for he ; seemed content with what he had, and j what ho was, though lie was neither rich j nor in power. lie was a kind hearted lun't, though he had not the reputation (or it; for he was apt to make a jest of what other people thought very serious misfortunes; and seemed to ta e little in terest m what are calle 1 the ups and downs in life. After the first friendly salutations; Mirvan assumed the privilege of intima cy, and inquired how he liked his' new Situation. ‘You neither look well nor seem in such good spirits as when I used to see you ni your oillce drawing- pleas and declara tions.’ Horatio unbosomed himself to his old frie:»ft. He detailed to liufi the progress of os wishes from boyhood upwards— from the time he wished lie was free from tiie labors and confinement of school, till lie r '.alized them all, step by-step, and became n great man, since which he had do i I.ul else than wish himself a school hoy again. * ‘lt i» the history of mankind,' said M.rv an, after listening attentively; ‘ami ui' *ll living things I believe if there be j tiny truth in the fable. *Want fable?’ aitkcd Horatio. ‘I will tell you,’ replied the old man, li;s >*ve hglrtiug up with arch intelligence; ‘.vill you nroiniac to listen?’ ‘Provided you neither aak m favor nor IP*® mid tli“ other, ‘I have had i'" ixrth lately.* <l.

It * were only a wasp now I should he som body. O, Jupiter A mmon, would I were a wash!, ‘Jupiter, ns usual, granted his prayer, for he began to he highly amused with his little* atom. ‘The wasp frisked with lus great tail ami admired his little waist Just hke a fashionable fine lady, until one day, not j minding what lie was about, lie got eii- ; tangled in a large spicier well, where lie ! ■remained struggling while the spider sat trembling with eagerness, waiting t II he i should exhaust himself by hi- efforts, to I ion nee upon him. At length supposing ' j 'he moment arrived, he darted to wards \ him, jast as he made a last desperate el- i fort and escaped the toil. ‘Tfnely a pleasant sort of life this,’ quoth the wasp’ ‘to be forever in danger of being caught and cut up by spiders. O, Jupiter Ammon, if 1 could only he a beautiful speckled spider'., and a spider 1 lie became 4'rom that moment. ‘Mercy upon us what a big creature was he; and what havoc he made among the wasps and flys, till a great moth, blundering his way in the twilight, bolted through his fine tvebb, ns big round as a ! cart wheel, do'Ud with imprisoned flies, and not only carrying all away hut put the spider,s hie in jeopardy. ‘Fire and fury,’ exclaimed Vie, ‘here is | a month,s provision and an ag»',s toil all ! swept away in a moment.

Ibrahim, learning this, placed one division of h:s army to besiege Ptolemuis, and at the heart of 18,000 men marched against Osman Pacha. The latter, after his losses on account of the small number of troops, he thought it best to remain inactive for a time until ! he should receive stronger reinforcements from the royal army.

Con crporJtnct of the JteitS York Daily A&ter- ) tistr * Extract of a letter dated, Washington, July sth 1532. “ Mr. Isaac llill, a mtml-'r of the i Committee on enrolled hills, made all dis- i patch to present the hill for re-charter mg the Bank of the United States to the President, under the lio|ie and with the e\|iectation, that he would put his veto u- j pon it on the ever memorable 4th of July. | It was understood that the President sum moned the Central Committee and his Kitchen Cabinet to assemble to council, immediately after the hill was ordered to he engrossed, and that he sent an express to Annapolis after Mr. Taney, to return with all speed to Washington. The Council mentioned decided to ad vise the President to re ject the bijl, and a rough draft of the veto was drawn up.— The President’s fiieuds, who are favora ble to the Bank, have labored mast as siduously to persuade him to place the rejection on other than constitutional grounds, so as to have the act as little pre judicial to him in Pennsylvania as possi bl>; and it was agreed to place it on the ground, that the passage of the hill at this this time is premature, and that it would he more proper to postpone the subject until the session of anew Congress shall continence. He concluded, out of com plaisance to his Cabinet, to submit the question in cabinet council. A meeting \vas held yesterday, hut the council v- as too much distracted to come to a final decision, and it ndjourtrod to meet again to-day. Not having seen the President this evening, ! cannot say with certainty what has transpired at the last meeting. Mr. Livingston, Mr. McLane and Mr. Cass advise President to sign the bill; while Mr. Woodbury and Mr. Taney oppose it. Mr. McLane is the most anxious on the subject; and has gone so fur, (as is reported and heleived) as to say, that if the hill shall he rejected he will resign Mr. Woodbury is much irritated by the disclosure of his letter, and is determined the bank shall not be re-chartered if he can prevent it. Whether there will he another rupture of the cabinet, is not absolutely certain; but this second Unit is much divided, al together personally the best good feeling exists. Gov. Cass will visit his family immediately after Congress shall adjourn; and whether he will return to Washing ton again is doubtful. His health is much improved, and his retiring from the War Office at this time would he deeply regretted. M. McLane and Mr. Weod ury devote the whole, of their time to the duties of their offices, and they have as little to do with the President as the nature of their appointments will per mit. The report to-day is, and it is to a great extent credited, that Mr. Living ston will go to France, and that Mr. Forsyth will he appointed Secretary of State The nomination will not be made until the day of adjournment shall be fixed.

To these may he added a case in Greenwich Village. The deceased vvus a poor laboring man, and died on Sunday afternoon, after a sickness of a few hours. With this exception, all the cases which have oceured are in the vicinity of Cath arine Market; on the East side of the city. So far as we can learn there is no rea son to think the disease was imported, ei-. ther reported hy lamt or sea. We need not say that it has created a strong sensation in the city. 1 lie more reflecting part of the people however, re gard it with a good degree of calmness, it is the Intemperate and vicious, espe cially the vicious poor who jiave most to tear from it, and ;t is among them that the greatest panic prevails. e intend to remain at our posts so long as God shall be pleased to permit us and have taken measures to procare the earliest and full intelligence of Hie pro gress of the disease, which we shall has ten to lay before our readers. F S. We have just learned that at 4 o’clock t'fis morning, Dr. Willet was called to two cases, one the organist of a Roman Catholic Church, the other u slap-might. A case has also occurred at the hither (S. end of East Broad way. Quarter to 1 o’clock our medical Re porter, has just come in with the follow ing eases: David Grim, corner ot Reed and Greenwich, aged 40, u native of New York* Piano Forte Maker, awoke last night about 12, with pain m the stomach, vomiting and purging of co lourless fluids.

This case, it will he observed, occured on the North River j nearly a mile from the others. Another case, a woman at 15 Janies slip the house where two men died on Sunday. Was attacked with vomiting and purging Took medicine, and is now convalescentr Half past 1 o’clock—The Board of Health met this morning at 11 o’clock, and adjourned at I o’clock. The fol lowing is their report:— HOARD OF HEALTH. July 2 d, 1832. The Boaid met this day at 11 o’clock, and made the following report. One case of Mild Cholera Moi l us, 3Z> Mulbery street. One case of do at 200 William street. One do reported as Spasmodic Cliole* ra, corner oflteed.and Greenwich streets. Eleven deaths are reported, five of sus picious character, having every appear ance of the Canadian Cholera. The Board assure their fellow-citizeus that to morrow they will give a full statement of ever thing in their possession A Frenclmian, aged 40, who had been taken from the streets in a most filthy condition, into the bridewell, died yester day at half-past six, in that place, having been taken with the disorder at noon Urs. Rhinelander hnd Dekay attended at about five o’clock, and administered the most active medicines, ineffectually.—? They pronounced it a eftse of Asiatic Cholera, Extract from a letter tinted Many, July 6,1832. We have got the Cholera or something else pretty bad here. I don’t hear how many cases the Board of Health repor ted for yesterday; hut Dr. James told Mr. Butler last evening, that there Igid been seven deaths up to that time, since yes terday morning, and that did not include the coachman of the Mayor, who died a bout one hour afterwards. This latter case has produced more*alarm that any other, as the subject was a perfect sober and temperate man, and the attack can not be traced to any previous exciting cause. Dr. J ames thought that as ma ny as twenty cases had occured yesterday hut that the great majority of them had yielded to the prompt and judicious ad ministration of medicines;-and it is the o pinion of nil, that if seasonable ap|iica tiousare made, that most ofthe cases can be cured. Os course there is much alarm and business much at a stand A letter received by the edjtor of the Philadelphia National Gazette, dated on board the frigate Potomac, on the coast of Java, March lii, 1832, says: “We have had a fight. It was with the Ma lays of Summatra. We suppose that one hundred and fifty of them were killed. On our side, two were killed and' fourteen wounded; no officer killed.
