Com:/tided.
Tie rung for Ins slippers, but the sound
of Ins hell was. drowned by n violent ring
ing at the other door.—The purler an
nounced astrunget.
‘Tell hint to call to-morrow —I'm just
going to bed.’
‘He says lie has most urgent business
and must see you to-night, sir.’
‘Despatches from abroad, l suppose ;
shew him in.’
Tin: bearer of despatches entered, and
after looking cautiously around, seeing
that ail die doors were shut, and that no
body was under the sofa, hemmed three
times, and began:
‘I beg pardon, sir, for this untimely
visit, but I itust you will excuse me
wlicu you know the urgency of the occa
sion; I came,ssf, to give you— ’
‘Heaven he prats d,’ thought Horatio,
‘here is a man that has got something
to giv ■ me at last ’
’l took the liberty, sir, as a devoted
friend to your administration, to eall and I
give you some advice about the course j
proper to be pursued, in order to defeat
a plot of the opposition of which I have
just been confidently apprised. ’
Tim adviser took till diree m the morn
ing to finish his communication and id- j
vice Before he had ended, Horatio was
two-thirds asleep, but he waked in time j
to express Iris gratitude, and promised
to bear in mind this singular proof of re
gard, in calling so late at night out of
pure good will.
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. *

M.rv an, after listening attentively; ‘ami

The little atom was as proud as a pea

nify until it chanced liiat he encountered
an ant, which walked right over him with

‘Aga it Jupiter laughed and granted |
his r» quest. The little ant strutted about
, who hut ho, prouder than ever, flattering
! himself he was somebody. It is worth
while to live thus, the eyes of the om
verse upon us,’ cried he, when just at
tint instant a great wasp darted at him,
and he narrow ly escaved by running into
his hole.
‘Body o’ine, exclaimed lie, panting
with i age and fear; body o’nnd what a
pity it is to he nothing but aj ant. It *
were only a wasp now I should he som

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

i Ammon! make me a great moth 1 beseech j
f thee.’ No sooner said than done and a
moth was he.
‘Nothing was ever so happy as our new

whithersoever lie pleased, till one night
seeing n candle in an open window, he j
became enamored of its splendor, and |
rushing towards it, so singed his wings
and burned his body that he lay ia the \
greatest agony.
‘I am dying—O, Jupiter Ammon mn o
me an atom again,’ and he perished with
this humble requst on his lips.
‘ And now for the moral of my story,’!
said Marvin.
I comprehend, 1 sail! Horatio; ‘my on n j
experience teaches it.—From an atom!
I h ive become a moth, flitting about the

scorching my wings and falling to the

‘Ho would have only more bitterly ex

* 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.
Information has reached »he War De
partment front the head quarters of Gen
eral At inson, foot of lllinoise Rapids,
the 23d June stating that General Atkin
son was to match on that day, w ith the
lllinoise militia, and about 4!K) regular
troops to attack the Indians who were
were stationed on Rock River, in the
neighbourhood of Four lakes, where they
detach small parties of 12, 20, and 40
men to annoy the frontiers and commit
depredations—that on tiie 16th, Captain
Snyder’s company of volunteers *liad a
rencounter on the head of Plain River,
with a party of 40 or 50 Indians, and
killed five, with a loss of three on the part
of the whites—that on the same day Gen
eral Dodge, at the head of 21 men, fell
in with a party of II Sac Indians, strong
ly posted under the bank of a lake on the
Peketalica, and succeeded iu killing the
whole number, having three of his own
party wounded—that about the same
time one white man was killed on the Da
Paye river, another on the Bureau, and
five near‘he Blue Mound diggers—that
General Atkinson expected to he upon
the ground at t tliat time occupied by the
Indians on tin 30tii June—and that by
employing some of the principle men of
the Winnebagoes and Pottawatamies, he
| had succeeded though tlie former, in res
| curing the two females, captured by tbe
hostile Indians had been restored to
their friends.
Letters have been received from Mr.
Joseph Woolff, the Missionary, dated u‘
Tabreez; in Persia, in July last. Mr.
Wool If found at Angora [the ancient Ga

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
