Trotter, (Van Burenite,) has been elected Sena tor in Congress from that Slate to fill Judge Black’s vacancy. Mississippi is now represent ed by a Walker and a Trotter. In the Charleston Courier of Friday morning there appeared a letter purporting to be from the Mayor of Lexington, Ky, to the Post Master at Charleston, giving the particulars ot a great fire by which half the town was burnt down. We suspected it to be a hoax when we first saw it, as the information ought to have come to us earlier through the Express Mail. Havingsecn nothing xt confirm the report since, in any of our slips or exchange papers wc have no doubt but is a hoax. A Veteran indeed. —Captain Robert Elliot, 105 years of age, died at his residence, in Mont gomery county, Virginia, on the 4lh day of January, 1838; having served his country both as a soldier and a captain during our revolution ary war. Indians ik tux United States.—The num ber of Indians cast of the Mississippi is 48,365. The number of Indians who have emigrated to the West Os the Mississippi is 52,327. —The numbers composing the indigenous tribes within j striking distance of the Western Frontier, amounting to 231,806. And the whole number of Indians within the limits of the United States, 332,498. Assuming that every fifth one may bo a warrior, the number of their fighting melt is 66,500. [communicated.] A Countryman ” asks the edllol- of the Chronicle & Sentinel “if he is in favor of Mr. Clay os a candidate for the Presidency.” It is neither the policy or duty of the South at (his time to hitch their fortunes to the car of either of the Presidential candidates. Indeed wo do not know who are the candidates. Between Messrs. Clay, Van Buren, Webster, and Harri son, toe do not hesitate to declare our unqualifi ed predilections in favor of Mr. Clay. He pos sesses more elevation, talent and character, is more with the South on all her favorite measures, and can by the weight of his character and pat riotism effect more than all the others together. We can further inform “A Countryman” that many—very many of the Southern people prefer Mr. C/ay to any other candidate that has yet been named. Akotiieii Countryman. [from our correspondent.] WASHINGTON, Feb. 6, 1838. «After my express letter of yesterday was sent ox, the House continued in session until half past six o’clock. Tho question on the adpotion ofMr. Howard’s resolution declaring that Messrs Plenties and Word are not entUed to seats us members of the 25th Congress, was then put, and carried in the affirmative by thecasling vole of the Speaker! Tho ayes being 117, the nays also 117. Mr. HOWARD then offered another resolution directing that the Speaker inform the Governor of Mississippi of the fact, which was carried. There is, therefore, no representation of the State of Mississippi in the. House. I Mr. GRUNDY of Term., presented !o the Sen ale to-day the resolutions recently adopted by the Legislature of that Stale, requesting their repre sentatives and instructing their Senators in Con gress, to oppose the passage of any act for the es tablishment of the Sub-Treasury System rccom bicnded by the President in his Message ofSep- Hciubi-i last. Mr. Grundy expressed his belief in right of instruction, and considering that the now before the Senate is within the purview the resolutions, he declared bis determination vote against the bill in every stage, in com- with the instructions. The resolutions liw printed were laid on the (able. Mr. WEBSTER then called the attention of e Senate to the report of the Secretary of the reasnry, in reply to his call for information re eding the payment of pensions and fishermen’s (unties, in notisof the Commonwealth Bank [Boston. He moved to refer the report to the on Finance. The distinguished Sen- remarked on the facts admitted by the Sec- B||ary, that the payment could not be made in as an important lesson to the advocates of Ixclusive hard money currency. Ho also id out the violation of law committed by cparlmenl here, in allowing the pension a to derive enormous compensation Irom the ’ the money entrusted to them. The pen act distinctly prohibits any compensation (.that given by authority of law. But now nieral practice, is to keep the pension agents lonlhs in advance, whereby tho pension is enabled to realize nine or ten thousand s from the uao of the money, $3211,000 t is remitted to him in semi-annual instal iin advance. He has constantly on hand 000. The same practice prevails in other i, and the agents derive from the fund given im in advance a proportionate income! . WEBSTER justly characterized ibis as f the most dangerous, and in every respect ionable modes of compensating public olli that could be adopted; and he urged upon ommittee tho importance of giving it serious Deration, and applying some remedy. . WEBSTER also took occcaston to notice udied design exhibited by the official organ e Admistration to produce tho impression le is or was a debtor to the Commonwealth and he again repelled in the strongest man* (very thing imputing to him that Le stood f such relation to that Bank. Mr. CRITENDLN pointed out another enor mity in Ilia transactions with that hunk, where by the conn ry has lost §70,000 ! Two hundred and seventy thousand dollars of appropriations for a Custom House, wore deposited with the hank, and when it laded it had in its possession seventy thousand dollars. Why was so much money advanced] §300.000 dollars were already in the hands of the Commissioners of the build ing, and yet the Secretary advances §70.000 more. Mark the time, for it was in April, the most critical period for their declining institutions. These advknces were intended to sustain the oank. They could be of no use to the public service under color of which they were made. Mr. NILES and Mr. BUCHANAN agreed that the disclosure of the affairs of the Common wealth Bank, demonstrated the necessity of es tablishing the Sub Treasury System. Both these gave up the Banks to the most severe condem nation. * Mr. CLAY commented severely on this den unculion by the experimenters on their own. bantlings; the very banks now condemned as faithless and enriupt by Messrs. Buchanan and Niles, were only three years ago landed to the skies by the same gentlemen; and he declared his belief, that if litis Sub Treasury system could ho established, its authors would denounce it three years hence as they do the Stale Bank system now; and then bring forward some other measure to delude the people and destroy tin ir interests. Mr. Clay then teferred in a very spirited man ner to the Tennessee instructions that had been read, and the manliness of Mr. Crundy in ex pressing his thtermination to obey them. He went the rounds of the other States n which resolutions of the same or a similar character were then pending; and addressing himself to Messrs. Morris and Allen ol Ohio, Wright of New York, Buchanan of Pa., and others, expressed his hope that they would each ami all conform to the wishes of their constituents. The subject was then laid aside on the motion of Mr. Preston for the purpose of taking up the special order. Mr. HIVES look the lloor, and concluded his speech on he general subjects which have been introduced in the debate ou the Sub Treasury Bill. AT, WASHINGTON, Feb. 7th, 1838. In the Senate, the debate on the Sab-Treasury Bill was resumed : and Mr. Hubbard ol N. 11. undertook to defend this monstrous scheme for a Government Bunk, and to reply to the argu ments of Mr. Webster and Mr. Rives. The Sena tor from Virginia came in for the principal share of this very inconsiderable person’s attention. The determination of “the party,” is to make a dead set upon Mr. Rives. His able and eloquent speech against their new experiments, on Monday and Tuesday, will never he forgiven. Huhhatd, the Secretary of the Treasury's man of all work, has been employed to denounce him first. He declared Rives had gone over to the “enemy,” and affecting to lie classical, said, he was acting the part of Thcmislocles against the liberties of his country ! Mr PRESTON called up a joint resolution, offered by him some days ago, to authorize the Library Committee to cause the Madison Papers to be printed and published; and, after some con versation. the subject was referred to the Library Committee. Mr. LINN of Mins, introduced a Bill to au thorise the occupation of the Columbia nr Oregon River. It proposes to establish a Territory north of latitude 43 degrees, and west of the Rocky Mountains, to be called the Oregon Territory, authorize the establishment of a fort on 'hat river and the occupation of the country by the milita ry force of the United States; establish a purl of cn ry; and require that the country should then lie held subject to the revenue laws of lire United Stales; and to effect these objects, it makes an appropriation of fifty thousand dollars. This measure w«s referred to a select committee, of which Mr. Linn was appointed Chairman. In tile House of Representatives. Mr. Garland, of Va. offered a resolution authorizing the Secre tary of the Trcusuty to employ additional clerks so as to enable him to comply with the call of the House for copies of all correspondence in re lation to jibe defalcations of public officers. The Secretary lias, in compliance with a resolution of the House, given a list of the defaulters, and the amount of their defalcations; but, says the correspondence is so large, that copies cannot he prepared without the aid of new clerks. The object of Mr. Garland in persevering in the call fur the correspondence, is to show tits infinite difficulties already experienced by the Government from the employment of individual agencies in keeping the public monies; and thus to demonstrate the dangers of the Suit Tieusnry System. No decision was come to on the reso lution —tlte debate having been out off' by the ar rival of the hour for going to the orders of the day. Mr. EVANS of Maine, then moved 1 1 refer the President’s Message in reference to the North Eastern Boundary, and the imprisonment of Mr. Greely in the Frederickton j til, in tire British Province of Now Brunswick, to the Commit ee on Foreign Affairs, witir instructions to report a bill to provide for surveying the North-Eastern Boundary line, according lu the provisions of the peaty ol peace of ,1783. Mr. EVANS rn dean able and eloquent speech m support of litis motion. The subject was then laid aside, and the bill making appropriations for the payment of the pensioners of tlte United States was then taken up; and alter being engaged for some lime in its consideration, tlte House without corning to any decision, adjourned. Mr. Mublerthurg of Penn, lias been nominated by the President to bo Envoy Extraordinary, and Minister Plenipotentiary to His Imperial Majesty the Emperor of Austria. M. From the N. V. Corn.

GREAT BRITAIN. The Canaiias. — Tiro affairs of Canada were the principal suhject of comment in the L indon papers. Despatches ftom Sir John Colhorne to lire 2Ulh of November had been received. The intelligence through other channels was to the 4th of December. It was stated in the Standard of Doc. 23. it. that tiro bug Inconstant ol 30 guns was ordered without delay to the North coast of Spain; and the. rumor was that the object of .he expedition was to lake on hoard the battalion ol marines, sta tioned at Passages, and convoy them to Lower Canada, via Ha tfajj. —The. brig had taken nn boatd at Portsmouth 1000 muskets and a large quantity of military stores. 1 lie same paper stales that tiro Hastings was . ordered to Portsmouth, there to lake on board ■ troops for Canada. Tlte 93td Highlanders was I ordered to Nova Scotia, and it was reported that the 23rd riflemen and the 71et light infantry wore ordered to Canada. The 65(1i, stationed at linrhadoes, was ordered to Canada, to be repla ced by the CUtii from Demarara. 1 bat pdtt of the President’s message relating to ibe North 1£ isiern boundary, is much coin monied on by the London papers. It is said to have caused a slight depression in the funds. The message gt nerally was not much liked in the • commercial and linaneial circles. 1 Or UK at Fiub in London.—There was a • g r cat tiro in London on the 28ih of December, on Davis Quay, opposite the Tower.—The "ware houses on this quay contained three thousand \ barrels oj turpentine, with great quantities of oil and oilier intiammablo materials, and three i brigs lying alongside were also loaded with simi lar articles. All were destroyed. The fir© raged from halt j ast 6 in the morning until 1 P. M. i 6000 barrels of turpentine and 800 tons of oil wore consumed, besides three bugs and a ware house lull ot grain. The oil alone was worth i $200,000, The whole loss was estimated at . £120,000. or i 600,000. From the Lon Jon Morning Post 1 Canana.—The intelligence which reached Lend n yesterday from Canada, and lh« United , i Slates, the most important particulars of which ’ we hastened to lay before the public in a second i ! edition, is of a mingled character—partaking in j pretty equal proportions of the gloomy and the j cheering in relation to the actual position of as- I fairs, and presenting us alternately with sinister I and wi h an-pic.tins otnenso of the lulurc. Perhaps the most formidable source of danger j brought into view by the advices of yesterday, is j the disposition manifested by a part of the people it not also by the government of the United I Stales, to make common cause with the Canadi an insurgents. Shouid-ihis disposition prevail to any considerable extent in the American Union, it is clear that the struggle in which Ureal Britain is involved by the imbecility nr treachery of her rulers is a struggle from which there is no possi hility of honorable retreat, and which can only he successfully maintained by the prompt, un sparing, and energetic employment of the ut most powers and rcsoutoes of the Stale/ FRANCE. The Journal ties Debuts of Dec. 31st con tained a paragraph, of which the following is a translation ; “A courier arrived from Berlin has brought an autograph lettor froth the King of Prussia ta his majesty Louis Philippe, in which his Prussian majesty say* that he agrees perfectly with the King ot the French relative to the affairs of Belgium, and that he relics upon the wisdom of King Louis Philippe to arrange the difference that exists between Belgium and Holland. The minister of war was immediately summoned to his majesty, and after a brief conference, couriers wetc despatched with counter orders to those Is sued in the morning, ’ The Times says that an army of observation; 30,000 sfong, is to he posted on the Northern [' and Eastern frontier of France. The head quarter* to he at Metz. The army waa to bn , provided with 100 pieces of cannon. It is ru mored that the Duke of Oilcans would have the , command. The Gazette de France (Carlist) has a long article, not exactly in f.vor of the insurgent Canadians, but in favor of • direct intervention . by Fiance in their sid, as an excellent line of policy to injure and humble England! The Ga zette says that such would be the course of a Heury IV, a Louis XIV, a Louis XVI, or a— ; meaning by this blank a Henry V. The President’s mes-age was published m the Paris journals of Dec. 29. Extract from (jalignani, dated Pa Ills, Dec 20lh. The rich American banking house ofMcssrs. Wells <fc Co., in this capital, on occasion of the laic commercial crisis, received assistance from the Bank of France, on the guarantees of Messrs. Welles, and also of some great capitalist# at Paris, Lyons, and Marseilles, to the amount of 3,200,- 000 francs. The sura offered to lie lent by the Bank of France was 4,200,000 f.; hut ol this Mes srs. Welles availed themselves only to the amount of 2,375 000 francs, and on the 24th inst. they repaid the w hole of this sum to the bank, and thus effaced the last vestige of the temporary shock sustained by their house. On occasion of this, I omit d’Afgout, governor of tile Bank ol France, has written to the per sons who were guarantees for Messrs. Welles, to itnform them that the obligations which they had thus contracted were terminated, and that they were entirely freed from their honorable co operation in an act as useful to commerce in general as to a hou c which has so well justified, by its good laith uod readiness in paying, the confidence of which it has been the object. Count d’Argi.ut has also written to the house in question, to say that the council general of the Bank Was desirous of giving a striking testimony to the good faith of Mr. Welles, and to the ex. Ireme promptitude which he had employed in dis charging his obligations to the Bank, before the time of the engagements which ho had contract ed falling due. HANOVER. The opposition to the despotic projects of King Ernest seems to have pone on increasing. The ' Gazette do Let, sic of Dec. 10th states that oa the p-reeding day the advocates of that city were required to sign the declaration of fealty, but that the principal part of them refused. At Osiiahutg there had been commotions growing nut of the arrest of one of the burgomas ters, who refused to administer the oath offesltjr. The populace attempted to rescue him, bat the military pul them down. The burgomasters of Stade had unanimously I protested against the King’s manifesto. SPAIN.

A Title founded on Fuels. ‘And is in) dear papa shut up m this dis mal piece, in which you tiro taking me,nurse!” asked iho Luly Lucy Preston, raising liur eyes fear fully lu ihe tower of London, as the coach m whch she uus sealed with Amy Gradvvell, h r nurse, drove under the gate way. Sim tionible'd and hid her face in Amy’s cloak, when they alighted, and she saw the soldiers on guard, ami tiie sentinels, with their crossed partisans, before the portals of that part of the fortress where the prisoners of State were confined, and where her own tut Lei, Lord Preston ,of whom she was come to lake her last farewell, was then confined under sentence of death. •Yes my duar child,’ returned Amy, sor rowful; ‘my Lord, your father, is indeed with in those sad walls. —You are now going to vis.t Inm. Shall you (>o afraid of entering line place toy dear'!’ ‘Mo.’ replied L ady Lucy, resolutely! ‘1 am not afraid 01 going ;o any place wiiore my dear pap i is.’ Yet she clung closer to the arms of her attendant, as they were aditii ted into the gloomy precincts of the buildings, and her little heart fluttered tearfully us she glanced around her, and sue whispered to her nurse: Was it not Imre that the two yo mg princes, Edward the Fifth, and his brother Ktchard, Duke of Y’urk, were murdered hy their crue. uncle Richard, Duke of Glo icoster!’ “Yes my love, it was; hut do not he alarm d on tiiat account form one will hurt you,’ said old Amy, m uu on ouraging tone. ‘And was not good King Henry the Sixth murdered nere also hy tint same wicked Rlc hann” continued tire hide girl, whose im agination was full of the records of deeds of hinod that had been perpetrated in this fatally 1 celebrated place, many of which heeu relate,: to her try Bi igot Holdworth, the housekeeper since her lather had heeu imprisoned nr the lower, on charge of high treason. ‘Hut do you think they will murder papa, mi st; 1 ’ pursued the child as they ascended the stairs leading to the apartment in which the unfortunate nobleman was confined. ‘Uush! hush/ my dear, you must not talk of those things here, Stud Amy, ‘or they will shut us both up iu a room with bolts and bars instead of admitting us to see my Lord, your father.” Lady Lucy pressed closer to her nurse’s side, and was silent till they were ushered into the room where, in her joy at seeing Iter father again she sprang into Ins arms, and al most stilled him with tier kisses.—Lord Pres ton was greatly affected at the sight ot his little daughter,and, overcome by her passion ate demonstrations of loudness, his own j angilish at the thought of his approaching se paration from Iter, and the idea ot leaving ner an orphan, (for she had only just completed her ninth year, and had lost her mother,) he clasped her to Ins bosom, and bedewed her innocent face with his tears. ‘Why do you cry, dear papa?’ asked the in nocent cbilu, wlm was herself weeping at lire sight of ms distress. ‘And why w.ll you not Iftive this gloomy place and come home to your own hail again.' Attend to me, Lucy, and I will tell you the cidse of my gnet,’ said her father, seating the I ill le girl on his knee; ‘I shall never come again, for I ha>o been conjoined to die (or high treason, winch means an offence against the King; and I snail hot leave tins plan* till they bring me forth on the Tower lull, where they will cut off my head with a sharp «xe, and set it up afterwards over Tempel Ji uy or Louder bridge. At this terrible intelligence, Lady Lu y screamed aloud, and hid le-r lace in her ta lker's bosom,winch the wetted with heneai*. ‘lie composed my dear child ” said Lord Preston, ‘for I have much to say to you, and we may never mqet again on this side of me grave. ‘No! no,dear papa,’cried she, ‘they shall not lull you, for 1 will cling so fast to your neck, that they will not be able to cut your bead off; and 1 will tell them how good and kind you are, and then they will not want to kill you.’ ‘My dearest love this is all simple talking,’ said Lord Preston, ‘f have offended against the law us it is at present established, by try ing to have my old master King James re stored to his throne, and therefore 1 must die. Do yon remember Lucy, I look yon once to VVhna ntll to see King James, and how kind ly ho spoke to you V ‘Oh, yes, papa 1 and I recollect l.e laid Ins hand on my head, and said I was like whai his daughter, Hie Princess of Orange, was in my age,’ replied Lady Lucy wnh great ani mation. ‘Well, my child, very shortly after younaw Klin' J lines at Wo ti, hall, the Prince of Or an re, who man led Ins daughter, came over to England and drove Kmg James out of Ins oalaee ami kingdom, and the people made nim and the Princess ot Orange king ami queen in his stead ? ‘Bui was it not very wicked of the Princess of Orange to join with her husband to take her lailier’s kingdom from him?

Yet I confess Ido not behove sbe would nave cons ulted to sign ibo death w ar rant ol so many of her fatlier’s old servants, only on account ol their faithful attachment to hun,’ said Lord Preston, wilh a sigh. ‘1 have heard that the Princess ot Orange is of a morcilul disposition,’ said old Amy Grad well, advancing towards her master, ‘and perhaps she might he induced to spare your life, my Lord, if your pardon was very earnestly entreated of her hy some ot your friends. Alas! my good Amy, I have no one who will umierlul e the perilous olfi e ot soliciting the royal grace for an attainted traitor, lest they should he suspected of favoring the cause of King James.’ ‘Dear papa! let me go to tho Quoen, and beg for your pardon,’ cried Lady Lucy, with a cninsonod check and a sparkl ng eye. ‘1 I will beg and so pray her to spare your life, dear p apa, that she will not have Iho heart t deny me ’ ‘.Simple child!’ exclaimed her fat tier, ‘what should yon be able to flay lu the Queen that would he of any avail ? •God would leach me what to say, and he has power also to touch her heart with pity for a child’s distrass, and to open her ear to myjearnest petition.’ Her father clasped tier to Ins bosom and said * I'lion vvoiildsi bo afraid of speaking to tlm Queen, even it thou shouldsl be admitted to her presence my clnld.’ ‘Why would I bo afraid «f speaking to tlie Queen, pupa! for even if she would be angry with me, and answer harshly, Isliold think ing 100, mucli of you father to nmitl it - dr if she were to send me to the tower and cut off my head, she could only kill my body, hut would have no power at all to hmt my soul, which is under the protection of One, who is greater than any king or queen upon the •arth.’ ‘Vou are right, my child, to fear God, and to have no other fear,’ said her father, ‘ft is lie who hath, perhaps, put it into your heart to plead with the Queen for my life: which, if it be Ins pleasure to grant, I shall feel it indeed a happiness fur my child to be made the instrument of my deliverance from the perils of death, which now encompass me; but if it should bo otherwise, his will he done, lie hath promise I to ho a father to the fath erless, and ho will nut forsake my good ami dutiful clnld. when 1 am low m ihe dust.’ ‘But how, will Lady Lucy gam admittance to the Queen’s pretence, my lord,’ asked old Amy, who had been a weeping spectator to the scene between the father and child. ‘1 will write a letter to her godmother, the Lady Clarendon, requesting her to accomplish the matter.’ lie then wrote itjfew hasty lines to that lady, which li i gave to Ins daughter, tolling her she was to go the next day to Hampton Court, properly attended, ami to obtain n sight of Lady Clarendon, wiio was there in waiting upon the Queen, and deliver the letter to her with her own hand, lie then kissed his child tenderly, ami bade lier faro. -wi I. Though the little child wvpt at parting ! with her lather, yet she left the lower with a far more composed mind than she entered it; for she had formed her resolution, and her young heart was full of hope. She had si lently committed her cause to Gad, uml she trusted that He w'ou d dispose the event prosperously for her. The next morning before the lark sung her matins, Lady Lucy was up an . dressed in a suit of deep mourning, which Amy hud provided as the modi suitable garb for a daughter whose only surviving patent wus under sentence of death. Tho servants, who had been informed of their young lady's in tention tb solicit the Queen for tier father's freedom"; were assembled in the entrance hull to see her deparljand us she passed through them, leaning on her nurse’s arm, and alien tied by her lather’s confidential secretary, and the old butler, they shed tears, and bade I God bless Iter, and prosper her m her design Lady Lucy, arrived at Hampton Court, was introduced into the Countess of Claren don’s apartments before her ladyship was out of bed, and having told her artless tale with great earnes ness,d. hvered her father’s let ter. Lady Clarendon, who was wife to the Queen’s undo, was very kind to her young god daughter, but plainly told her she must not reckon on her influence with the Queen, because the Earl of Clarendon wus in disgrace on account of being suspected of carrying on a correspondence with King James. Ins bro ther-in-law; therefore she dared not solicit the Queen on behalf ot her friend, Lord Preston, against whom her majesty was so deeply exasperated that she bud declared §hc would not show linn any mercy. ‘Oh!’ said the little girl, ‘if I could only see the Queen myself, 1 would not wish any one to speak tor me, lor 1 should plead so earnestly lo tier for my dear papa’s life that she could not refuse me, /’insure. ‘Poor eh Id, wuai could you any to the Q,ueeu V uskedjlhc C’uutliess, compassionate ly- ‘Only let me see her and you shall hear’ rejoined Lilly Lucy. •Well, my love, it were a pity but what you tiled should have an opportunity, said Lady Clarendon; ‘hut much I (ear thy little heart will fall (bee, and when thou suest the Queen taco to face, thou wi.l nut be able lo utter a syllable.’ ‘God will direct tbe words of my lips,’ said Lite little girl, wuli tears in her eyes.

The extrema beauty of the child, her deep mourning, the touching sadness of ber look and manners, mid above all, the streaming tears which bedewed her face, excited ti.e Queen’s attention and inlurcsl; she paused spoke kindly lo ner, and took the offered pa per; but when she saw the name of Lord I’reslon ber color ruse. iSbo frowned, cast > the petition from her, and would have passed m, but Lucy, who pad watched her countu luneu wnh u degree of anxious interest that amounted to agony, losing all awe of royal ty in her fears for hei lather, put forth her hand, ami grasping Um Queen's rube, cried man imploring tone ‘Spare my father —my ruyal lady!’ Lucy had meant to say many persuasive things, but forgot ilium all in her sore distress, and could only repeat the words ‘m«rcy, mercy,for my father,gracious Queen :to>ir.Txwu«i>i»«w'j.v..M W t T i—i -n - .■'■jii linn— i Ull liar vl'licineiii emo'.nni choked her voice! and tUrowin-j l.er unris nroiitnl the Queen's neck, she loaned liar Innid against. lior majes ty e person.fur support and so. hod aloud. Hie Intense sorrow oi a cliild is always pe culiarly touching ; hut the circumstances un der which Lucy appeared wore moie than commonly affecting. it was a daughter, not beyond the season ofinfancy, overmastering the timidity of that tender age to become the suppliant to an offended sovereign Cor thcliCo ot a lather. Queen Mary pitied the distress ol her young petitioner, hut she considered the death ol Lord Preston as a mailer of po litical necessity; she therefore told Lucy mild ly but firmly, t"hal«!io could not grant her re quest. ‘•Cut he is good and kind to every one’ said Lucy raising her bine eyes,which were swim ming with tears, to the face of the Queen. *!le may bo so to you, child, 1 returned her majesty, hut. he has broken the law of the country, and therefore must die, ‘But you can pardon him if you choose (q do so, madam, replide Lucy;’ and I have read that (Jod is well pleased with those who forgiy,*; for ho has said, ‘Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.’ ‘lt does not become a little girl like yotf •° attempt to me,’ replied the Queen, gravely, ‘ f am acquainted (with my duly; amt as it is my place to administer justice impartially, it is not possible fur me t*> j pardon your father, however painful it may he fi rmo lo deny the request of so dutiful ti child.’ Lucy did not reply; she raised her eyes with an appealing look to the Queen's and then turned them expressively on the portrait of King James,opposite to which her majesty was then standing. There was something in that look that bore no common meaning, and the Queen whose curiosity was excited by the peculiarly emphatic manner of the child, could not refrain from asking ‘wherefore sliq gazed so earnestly upon that picture;’ ‘I was, thinking,’replied Lady Lucy, ‘how strange it was that you should wish to kill my lather, only because lie loved yours so faithfully!' This wise but artless reproof from the l'p» of infant innocence, went to the heart of the Queen; she raised her eyes to the onoe dear and honored countenance of a parent, who, whatever were his political errors its a king, or his offences against others, had ever been the tenderest of parents to her, and the re membrance that he was an exile in a foreign land, relying on the bounty of strangers for liis daily bread, while she and her husband, were invfesled with the legal inheritance of which he had been deprived, pressed upon her the thought of the contrast of her con duct as a daughter, when compared with the filial piety of the child before her, whom * sentence of hers was about to render an or phan. ‘Rise, clear child’ she ...id ‘tLou liis pre vailed—thy father shall not die. L~;rant hiii pardon at thy entreaty—Thy filial love halts save him.’ Oh Rending Andy Lucy's Petition. It must have boon a lovely sight lo v:i t t'vel sin less child • On whose young timid cheek and fascs naliou smiled; The quivering lip—the upraised ay—the. ’.l be seeching glance, Which speaks Cu avory fueling heart t’i.h D.tasa'e eloquence.
