IMPORTANT PROM THE WEST. Cleveland, Ohio, Feb. 16. A friend has politely furnished us with an Extra from the office of the Toledo Herald, da ted the 12th, containing the following interes ting particulars: Silence Uuokkn.—S. M’Night, postmaster at Detroit, passed through this city this day at IS o’clock, with despatches from Governor Ma son to the President of the United Sates. Mr. M’K. brings intelligence that a force of about ( 500 was collecting 7 miles above Detroit, in the vicinity of that river, whore it is presumed the ice has formed a bridge, and that they were coming in from every direction. We understand , (he object of the despatches is to supplv the frontier with more regular troops, as the militia cannot be relied on, and where the former are to come from remains to be told. From another quarter we learn that between 5 and 600 nlen are Upon the peninsula opposite Sandusky, waiting the arrival ol their baggage, and (rom another, that a considerable number are under way (rom Kentucky. Mr. M’Nighlsays that it is rumored at Detroit, that a party of British In dians were about to crews in the neighborhood of Fort Gratiot. Sutherland was in town yesterday,* and we understand set out for Detroit this morning.— Gen. M’Leod, recently from Canada, is expected here this evening on his way up. He was a half pay officer in the liritlsh service, in whom the patriots place much confidence. A gcnleman by the name of McGuire, from Lon don District, left here yesterday morning! he says he was in the patriot service on Navy Island, and seems better to understand the movements and designs of the patriots than any one we have yet seen, lie says but few ol the arms were taken at Fredonia, and they were of but very little value. He thinks that more that enough are in safekeeping for their purpose. Gen Van Rensselaer. —lnconsequence of a report which has reached the authorities here and at Oswego, that Gen. Rensselaer Van Renssela er is, or was in Ibis vicinity superintending a military expedition against Canada, we address ed a letter to Mr. Mackenzie, with a view of acquiring some correct information on the sub ject. His answer, dated at Canton, fit Lawrence county, is as follows: ■“These rumours must be untrue. All Conner lion, military or political, between General Van Rensselaer and the Canadians now sojourning on this frontier has entirely ceased at his own personal request, and without the most distant intention, on either side, to renew it hereafter. I can assure you in the most distinct and positive terms that as far as|my knowledge extends, that gentleman neither has nor cxcrcisesany authori ty, either direct or implied, for carrying on expc l ditions in our behalf against the Colonial author ities in Canada; and I am satisfied he Would be one ofthe last men on this continent to counten ance a report seemingly intended hy its inventor* to involve homeless exiles in new and formida ble difficulties with the just and equitable gov ernment which affords them iis powerful protec tion,” — IVatertoion Jeffersonian. The Baltimore Republican, of the 21st inch says: The “Globe,’ 1 of Monday night slated that General Jackson hail been again attacked with hemorrhage from the lungs, and expressed great apprehension of the result. The Nashville “Union’’ express slip of the 15th says, “we slate with great pleasure on the information of a gentleman just from the Hermi' lage, that the general's health is so much improv ed that he can now leave his lied) and that he is rapidly gaining strength. No further danger friui tne present attack is apprehended,” From the JV Y Courier ii Enquirer, CIRCULAR PETITION. The Van Duren parly in Congress have as sumed the ground that they will not charier a National Bank, even should it he demanded by a majority of the people —and Mr. Van Buten is pledged t« veto any such institution, even it it should be carried by tbc unanimous voie ut both branches of Congress. This is what he calls acting up to the will of the people, as he understands it. A distinguished senator has remarked once or twice on the flour of Congress that he Would never introduce any proposition lor a National Bank, till he should see the strongest indications that the people of the United Mimes had themselves resolved that such an institution should be established. When that time will come, we cannot undertake to pr diet, though wc are well aware that thousands of those who were engaged in the des ruction of the old hank bitterly lament the evils which they have been instrumental in bringing upon the country. The following petition which is in form of a circular, has been handed to us for publication! Circitlrtr Petition i The friends of a tried sound CurftiHcy throughout the United Stales, are requested to execute and forwatd the annexed petition to their respective representatives in Congress. To the President of the United Stales, the Senate and House of Representatives. Your pc.ilioners lake this method to express their sentiments on the two great points now so deeply agitating the councils and people of our hitherto prosperous country. First we declare ourselves opposed in every form to the untried experiment of the Sub Treas ury Bill now under consideration. And in favor of a National Bank, with a suffi cient'capital to lurnish an uniform sound cur rency. The states to be allowed, if they choose, to take a majority of the stuck, and to issue their own stocks payable at a future day, in part pay ment, as shall he deemed most advisable by the collected wisdom of Congress. And your petitioners will ever pray. The only adequate counterpoise agalnsUthe evil effects of suddenly acquired wealth in our country, is to be found in the education of tilt mass ofthe community. Enterprise will amass riches, and wealtli brings with it a desire for power, to attain which the posses sor Wdl pursue the shortest possible way, to wit. by addressing himself to the cupidity of the people. If then the people be left in ignorance, the inevitable consequence will be that their avaricious propensities will get the mastery, there being no proper countercheck, in the absense of knowledge. By cultivating knowledge we place in possession of the poor man a safe guard which by creating a claim to respect and consideration, different from that of gain, dt prives the latter of a groat por tion of its seductiveness. In this country es pecially, wdiere the people are the source of power, ought knowledge to be imparted to the poor, as without it their passions will con stantly mislead them. If we desire to see our country great we must first see that the popu lation is so instructed as to understand then rights, and, understanding them, to know how to protect them.— Balt. American. Stop John Brown-— The Baton Rouge Ga zelle gives a general invite to aM creation to stop one John Brown, who absquatulated from that place a short lime since. The Gazette might •» I well azk lolka to ' atop one John Smith.” From the /.tuirville Journal. THB FALLEN O.NE. File lark sings blithely ami the wild flowers bloom In summer lime above his pulseless breast; And low winds niodn Urdiind ilie silent tomb Whete be unconscious bath his dreamless rest His heart is hopeless, amt the vermeil dye Which dwelt upon fcis lip ha h passed away— Death sleeps serenely on the biillianl eye Which flashed with thought and glowed with passion’s ray! Oh.dften to his brow in life's sweet spring, V isions of hope and beaming beadtjjr cimei And as the hours went by on iiijiid wing. His spirit dreamed of triumphs and of fame. Soft as the lute when love’s hand sweeps its strings, The rich tones were which dwelt upon hit tongue, But like the roir which o’er reused ocean rings, When on the winds his soul its passion flung. He loved to climb the stlmrriit of the hill, When each glad bird poured out its heart in song; And walked delighted by the murmuring nil, Which flashed in sunshine as it leaped along. His fancy then, from themes romantic wrought Wild tales of happiness and love’s couitol, Or traced the brilliant chain of thrilling thought Which hinds ambition to its glittering goal. One gentle spirit mingled with his dreams, And shared the empire of his heart with fame; Fairer than she ne’er strayed by fabled streams, Or o'er the vision of rapt poet came. He was the sunlight of her being’s world, And she to him the poetry of life: The slenderest trees which on her forehead curl’d Was talistnanic o’er his spirit's strife, A change came o'er him—years had flown awiy! His hopes a wreck were tossed on I’assiun's sea; His feel from Fame’s h gh path had gone astray, And from bis heart had passed her melody. The star which rose so brightly on his morn. Now shown hut dimly to his darkened view; High on excitement’s wave his soul was borne Far from the scenes where first his beitijf grew. His bark was on the waters dark and wild, And crazily upon its course was driven, Though love ruse o’er him, and with accents mild Strove to reclaim him back to love and heaven. Hut Love's appeal was vain;—the howl—the game, Had wrapped his spirit in a starless night; And on the brow which once had burned for fame, Were Scorn’s deep scrowl and dark Suspicion’s blight. Drunk with the fury of his maddened brain, VV ith quivciing step he pressed to Ruin’s verge, Beneath which roars an all destroying main, Whcrv harpies’ shrieks break o’er the collud ing surge— That night bird, foul Remorse, above him wheeled, And flapped her wings ahJ screamed loud o’er the wave; His vision wandered, and his spirit reeled, And down he sank loan unhonored grave! The lark sings blithely & the wild flowers bloom In sUinrnei lime above his pulseless breast; And low winds moan around the silent tomb Where he Unconscious hath his dreamless rest. His heart is hopeless, and the vernnl dyo Which dwell upon his lip ha* passed away— Death sleeps serenely on the brill ant eye Which flashed with thought and glowed with passion’s fay! RIULL. THE MAD HOUSE OF TURKEY. 11l MISS I'AUDOB, No traveller who can string his nerves to the trial or rather who will not sutler himself to lie scared by the idea of a Turkish mad house,should fail while at Constantinople, to visit the Tinier* haze or lunatic establishment, dependent on the mosque of Solimante. He will encounter noth ing to disgust, and comparatively little to distress him, for all is cleanly, quiet, ami almost cheerful. For myself, t morbidly sensitive on such occa sion, I shrank from the task which I was never theless resolved to achieve, until the eleventh hour, and my only feeling when 1 looked around me, “Whore laughter is not mirth; nor thought the mind, Nor words a language, nor even men mankind,” m the madhouse of Sollmanie, wa» one of intense relief, on finding that my own diseased fancy had so far outrun the reality. It ie however, to the universal surveillance of Suhain Mahmoud that the unfortunate who tens ant the building are indebted (or the only com forts which they aie still capable of enjoying; for but a few years ago they were unapproachable Id the stranger, from the filthy and neglected slate of both their cells and their persons. By an imperial order, cleanliness and care have been secured to them; and the calm, and in many in stances, affectionate manner, in which they con versed With ttieir keepers, was a convincing proof that they were kindly The Turks have, moreover, a suparstitous reverence for the insane. They believe that the spirit has been recalled by its find, and the hallucinated being is regarded as almost saintly; a beatification, however, ul which filth appears to be a,most a concomitant part in the Easi; for whenever you encounicr in the streets a wild iudktng wreich, have dervish and half mendicant; so wrblcliadly fifhy that you dure not suffer him Id comem contact vyilh you as you pass him—with a beard matted with dirt, and ell-locks banging about his shoulders, ot which the color is umlistingUiSltablh, ragged, swarming with vermin ahd apparantly half stupi licdwith opium; should you amid your disgust, make any inquiry a* h“ identity, you arc told that be is a saint! This extraordinary race of men (for ihere are numbers of them about the streets of Consianlt itopl;) are self-elected in their holiness; and take up the trade as less ambitious individuals establish themselves in commerce. They affect absence of thought, concentration of mind, and, having progressed gradually to a certain point, ihcy fin ish with partial aberration of intellect; and this last may, in truth, he of en real, tor the years of unwashed and uncombed misery to which they condemn themselves, are enough to produce mad ness. Ragged and wretched as I have described them, these miserable men are, nevertheless, ob jec's of great vent-rat on to the mass of the people, and the poorest calmac or porlei will seldom re (use his parti to one ofcahese silintly mendicants. The lunaiic establishment of Sulimanie Occu pies an inner court of the mosque, whose centre ' is overshadowed by several magnificent palm trees planted round i Spacious fountain. Three sides of the court are furnished wiih arches,through ’ which the npanrtfenu ol the lunatics are entered, while each is ventilated by a couple or moic of large grated windows; the number of patterns in ’ each cell never exceeding that of the windows, . The most painful object connected with the i scene was the heavy chain and collar ot iron worn by each es the lunatics, kop up a perpetual clanking aa tlu< unfortunate moved in his restlessness from place to place within his narrow limits.—Tile bedding was cleanly, com fortable and promise; and many of the tfemlHlS tis the cell were eating melons or smo&ing tbbir chibouks, as tranquilly and its methodically as though they had been tlmlbr d very different i oof. Among the wHolb humber thelo was Hot one furiously mad, us is so frequently the case in Eu rope ; and 1 was assured that such patients were extremely rare Melancholy appeared to lie the prevailing symptoms of the disease Among these hallucinated Osmmrlis ; a deep, but byhdnieans sullen melancholy ; for very few of them relttsed to reply to an expression of interest or coriililisse ation; and the feeling of social courtesy, ro strong among the Turks had in no one instance been destroyed, even by the total alteration of intellect which had prostrated every other bond of union between them and their fellow men. 1 have mentioned elsewhere the surpassing loVe of the Turks for their children; and I never saw a more beautiful illustration of parental altec lion than was exhibited by the first unfortunate befdrt vVlldse Cell we il'isecrl. Several Greek la dies actortipalliiil Its, and the madman whoa* head was pillowed upon Ids kiwn as we ap proached him, turned his dim olntiy eyes upon each with a cold unconciousness that whs thrill ing, until he met the soft, toarfcl eye of a pale delicate girl, whu was leaning upon my arm. When he caught sight of her he started from his recumbent pustule, ami also shrieked out in glad ness as he exclaimed—“my child ! my child I they told me that you had abandoned me, but I let them sayjon without a murmur,tor I knew that you only lamed ; and you are come at last—wh.y do you weep ! 1 sec you and lam happy. 1 have not been alone—look here”—and as he thrust his hand into his breast, and drew forth a dove which was nestling there; "I have held .his upon my heart and usl slept 1 dreamed that it was you,” After a moments silence ho resumed: “1 would give you this trembling bird, lor you are uty child, and I love you; but it will not abandon mo. It is my friend, m.y playfellow, my child, when you areaway. It will ijpt leave me, although I urn mad.—And yet, why do they tell you that I am mad! It is not so—do 1 not know you! Am 1 not your larlhct! Is it because lam sorrowful that they have told you this! And again the pale fauo was bowed down; and one heavy sub which seemed to rise from the very depths of a crushed spirit, terminated the sentence- We hurried on —it was profanation to make spectacle of such an agony—mindless though it wa.-. Nor was the next individual with whom we came in contact less painfully intersting. Strik ingly handsome, and not above live and thirty, he had already past four miserable years in the mad bouse of Solimanie. An Armenian by birth, and a Catho ic by faith, he had been induced Jto em brace Mahomeuauistn, but he had paid with bis reason the price of his uposlacy, and this one memory hilunted him in his wretched lunacy. As we paused before the grating to his cell, he bowed Ills bead upon his breast, and murmured out, “In Nomine Fatri, et Films, el Spiritus Sanclus A morn” Ills look was fastened upon my farther, and some faint, and long effaced image seemed to rise before him, for he smiled sadly, and extended towards him his while and wasted hand; nor could any other of the party succeed ill diverting his attention. Thrice the same words were uttered, and always in an accent of the most thril ling anguish. Sllrfcly his sin Will be expiated on earth and forgiven at the last day! Some were merry. und.uxliahstflrl dlfeniSelvcs ih song and jest; ami some, with a latent leaven of worfdinoss, asked alms, and laughed out their soulless Joy an the coins <Wlich we Wuflg to them rang on the stone work of the window. The juggler of Sultttm Selim—he who hud taught the great dues of the land to helteve him gifted with a power more than human—lie who hud raised the amusement and the exclamation of wonder— whose very presence had awakened mirth and merriment—he, too, was here—caged and chain ed—the mad (irisdner of three and thirty w.eary years!—the palest, the saddest and the most sil ent ol the whold miserable company. His beard fell to his girdle—his matter lucks half conceal ed Ins haggard countenance —his hands were clasped upon his breast—and he did not turn his head as wc approached him. Front the mad house we proceeded to the slave market, a square court, three of whose sides are built round with low «'u e rooms, or cells, be yond which projects d wooden peristyle. There is alwalys a painful, association connected wilh this spectacle but beyond ibis (and assuredly it is enough!} theieis nothing cither to distress or to disgust in the slave market of Constantinople) No wanton cruel y, no idle insult is (icriiiilted: the slaves in many instances, select their own purchaser from among lli„ ladders, and they know that when once received into a Turkish family they hedonic members of it in every sense of the word, and are almost Universally sure to ris in the world if they conduct themselves worthily. The negroes only remain In thb Open court, where they are squatted in groups, until sum. moned to show themselves to a purchaser; while the Circassian and Georgians generally brought there hv their parents at their own request, occu py the dosed apartments, in order that they may nut be exposed to the gaze of the idlers who throng die Court. The utmost order, decency, and quiet prevail; and a military guard is station ed at toe entrance to enforce them, should the necessity for inierterencc occur, which is however very rarely the case. 1 expected to have much to write on the sub ject of the slave market, but I left it only with an increased conviction of the great moral beauty of thu Turkish character. I am aware that this dc» claration will startle many of my readers; but I make it from a principle of justice. I IfHetfc llnft the establishment existed—l liever tllobght of it without a shudder, nor shall I ever remember it without i pang; hut I am nevertheless, compelled to declare that I did not witness there any of the liyrrors for which I had prepared myself. The Tuike never made either a sport or a jest of hu man sutferings or human degradalion. Not a word, not a glance escaped them calculated to wound to wretched beings who Were crouching on the ground under the hot sunshine—they made their odious bargains seriously and left the make!, followed by the slaves whom they had pun based, without one act of wanton cruelly, or unnecessary interference. 1 felt glad when, escaping from t is painful scene, bitter and revolting even under the most favorable aspect, we found ourselves in the char- J shoe, surrounded by all ihc glittering lempations of the East, and deep in (he mys'.ciies of Uin. keta. The m iming had been a trying one. I rejoiced to lie enabled to divert my thoughts frorh the sconces through which we had passed. A thoueatlil brilliant baubles were spread out before us —i thousand harangues replete wilh hyperbole were exhausted on us—all was bustle and excitement; and I futgel for a while the wee, ing farther and the spirit stricken apostate of Solirnanio.
