Death of Commodore Woolsey. Commodore Melanclhon T. YVoolscy, ol the United Slates Navy, died at Ulica, N.Y r . on Saturday, tho 19th inst. of the dropsy. This gallant officer was about sixty years of age. He has seen as much hard service as any man in Ihe .navy, and has always discharged his duties with honor to himself and country. A severe galo visited Baltimore on Tuesday evening the 22d inst., and left traces of ils vioi lence in every quarter. Numerous houses and chimneys were blown down; many houses un roofed, trees torn up by tho roots, and carriages and other vehicles upset; but no lives lost, or any person soiiously injured. Five hundred Seminole Indians, destined for their new homo beyond Fort Gibson, left New Orleans on tho 20th. Mr. Richard Russell, for five years past the manager of tbo Camp-st Theatre, New Orleans, died on Saturday morning, the 19lh inst. The aggregate capilal of ihe associated banks in Boston is said to bo near seventeen millions—cir culation, $2,184,300. The Manhattan Fire Insurance Company of New York have declared a semi-annual dividend of six per cent, payable on tbe Ist of June. The informers in ihe case of goods seized at the Custom houses in New Y r otk, Boston and Baltimore, recently, will pocket half their value, about $150,000. Tho Juniata Herald stales that the Wheat crops in that and the neighboring counties of Pennsylvania present the promise of a most abundant yield. Bickncll’s (Philadelphia) Reporter of tho 22d inst. says :—‘‘The stock market continues aclive, and confidence is gradually but certainly reviving. The Bank of the United States has increased ils specie to more than $7,000,000; and it is now fully competent to resume, and will no doubt re. sume, the moment that government exhibits a disposition to act in concert with the banks, and relieve them from apprehension from tha t source. No general resumption will, however take place, so far as the Philadelphia banks are concerned, until this assurance is received. Specie is yet very scarce among us, but it is sought after with much less avidity than formerly. The spring trade is now nearly over, and has been quite as good as was anticipated. The it is true, have not been so extensive as in forme r years, but the payments in cash have been far greater in proportion than heretofore.” Americas Lake Commerce.— There are SO tlcamboals and 180 sail of vessels employed at Buffalo on Lake Eric, valued a*. $4 000,000 A.UWUSTA, TB;ES»AY JHOKWXU M\\ r 3«j, b*»S.

As the Chairman of the meeting of the Banks of the City of Charleston, lately held at the Banking House of the Bank of Charles ton, S. C., 1 sent to the Patriot office for publication, a notice to the following effect —that the proposed Convention of the Banks of Georgia and South Carolina, would be held at the Bank of Charleston, at 11 o’clock, on this day, with a request that it would be in serted in the other papers. The statement in the papers of this city, that the Banks in Charleston had resolved to propose the first of November next as a day of general re sumption, was not authorized by the Banks, or any member thereof—but the question being clearly considered by us as an open one, to be decided on by the Convention. C. J. COLCOCK, Chairman. Charleston May 22d, 1838. Mu. Jonhs—l observe that you have repub* j lished an article from the Charleston papers, i which stales that the Banks in Charleston had j resolved to recommend to the Convention the Ist I of November, as a proper day fur the resumption | of specie payments by the Banks of So. Ca. and j Georgia. That article uncontradicted would ■ seem to place the cause of a longer suspension on the Banks of Georgia, in as much as the first of January and not the first of November has been agreed upon ae the day of resumption. The object I have in view is to request that you will also publish the disclaimer of the Charleston Banks, as contained in the note of Judge Col cock, disavowing and declaring unauthorised the paragraph referred to, by the Banks or any mem ber thereof. The Banks of Georgia arc as ready for the re sumption as the Banks of So. Carolina, as will appear from the published statements of their re spective Institutions. The time proposed was that which would beat suit, not the convenience of any one Bank, but the safety of the whole, and the interest of the peo ple,as connected with the sale of the coming crop which latter consideration had its. due weight in determining the day,'and lam authorised to say that it was agreed upon with great unanimity in the committee who made the report, and in the convention who adopted it. A Member of the Convention. [fiiom ocn correspondent.] WASHINGTON. May 23d, 1838. The House of Representatives met to day, according to tho new arrangement, at 10 o’clock A. M. There was a very thin attendance of mem bers. 1 have never known any increase of the regular time of the sittings expedite, in any de gree, the progress of public business. It only adds to the number of talkers, and induced those who made long speeches before, to make them longer. Tho Committee on Indian Ass. irs reported the Senate Bill to provide for the security and pro tection of the emigrating and other Indians West of tlie Mississippi, without amendment. Mr. HOFFMAN from the Committee on Fo» reign Affairs reported a bill for the relief of THOMAS AF. CATESBY JONES. The unfinished business in reference to the Duel Repot t (being the motion to print 20,000 copies of the Journal and evidence with the amendment to print 20,000 copies of the majori ty Report) was then taken up, and Mr. MASON of Ohio spoke in opposition to the amendment on the ground that the majority Report was of an unjust, partial, and partisan character. Before lie finished, the hour arrived for going to the orders of tho day. A resolution was adopted calling on tho Se cretary of War to stale the amount of money which would ho required to cany into effect the propositions contained in the Communication laid before the House yesterday. The House then, on motion of Mr CAMBRB LING, resolved itself into Committee of the Whole; and took up the Bill for the suppression of Indian Hostilities. Mr. WISE took (he floor, and expressed a wish that there should boa separation of the amount provided for the suppression of the Seminole hostilities, from that proposed for carrying into effect tho Cherokee Treaty. Mr; CAMBHELING objected to making any distinction. Mr,] WISE (hen offered a ptoviso to cento in at the end of the bill, that no part of tho appro* piiations given by the bill shall bo applied to tho removal of the Cherokeos, or preparation for hos tilities against them, until tho Secretary of War shall have prosecuted to a conclusion of success or failure the propositions contained in the com munication presented to the House yesterday. A debate arose in regard to the validity of the Cherokee Treaty, and on the general policy of the Government towards the Indians, in which ■ Messrs. Wise, Jones of Geo; Filmorc, Marvin and Cushing participated: The Committee rose without taking any question; and the House ad journed. In the Senate, to-day, Mr. Young of Illinois, presented several memorials remonstrating against the execution of the Cherokee Treaty. Mr. CLAY, of Ky., offered a resolution call, ing on the Secretary of tho Treasury and Post Master General to inform tho Senate whether eiders have been given for tho receipt o (Hank ■ note in the payment of public dues; and copies of such orders or instructions if any have been given. The resolution was adopted, A message was received from the President of the U. S. transmitting a copy of a letter from the [ Governor of Maine, with resolutions of the Le , gislature of lhat Stale, claiming reimbursement to Greely and others for loss sustained by them: ’ also other papers connected with the subject of ’ the North Eastern Boundary, showing the pres r ent State of the negociation with Gn at Britain , on the geno ralqucstion. i The accompanying documents consisted of a I letter from Mr. Forsyth to Mr. Fox; and the reply of Mr. Fox to our Secretary of State, In the t former the Secretary says that the State of Maine , declines to give her consent to the proposition i for a conventional boundary; and thinks there can be no difficulty in ascertaining the real boundary; . nml c ° nc ' udes with inviting Mr. Fox to a confer ence fur the purpose of agreeing on the basis of ■ a new negociation; and the appointment of com ’ rmssioner?. Mr. FOX replied that he does not at present feel authorized to lake such a step, without new r j advices from his Government. Which however ' j may be early expeetd. Mr. WEBSTER moved that the documents | be printed, and laid on the la Lie: and it was so 1 \ ordered. j The Bill making an appropriation f o r iha Alex . j audrja and Falmouth Fail Road was nejt tak<ca up: and after some debate, it was passed, and sent to the House for concurrence. The Senate then proceeded to tlio considera tion of the Cumberland Hoad Udl; and after a short discussion, it was ordered to be engrossed and read a third lime. M. WASHINGTON, May 34. The House ot Representatives was again very thinly attended at the opening ol the sitting to day. A call ol the House was ordered for the purpose of bringing in the absentees. It would be better to turn to tbo old custom of mooting at 11 o’clock. Mr. HOFFMAN asked leave to offer a resolu tion in reference to a message from the President which oas laid on the table yesterday, transmit, ling papers from the Secretary of State in answer to a resolution of the House calling lor informa tion on the subject. Mr. Hoffman staled that the message instead of furnishing the required information, only had enclosed among the papers several extiacts from a New York paper of an anonymous character, containing gross and personal libels on the May or and several members of the Common Council of New York. Mr. Hoffman said he could not believe hut there had been some mistake, us the President could not ho expected to pursue such a course. Ho asked leave to offer a resolution for the purpose of bringing to light the culpable person, whether the President, Secretary or Clerk. The resolution was read, it requires that the select committee to whom had been referred tire message, be discharged from the further con sideration of those objectionable extracts, and that they be returned to the President. The reading of the objectionable exp acts was called for. They arc from the New York Truth Teller, of Juno 341 h, 1337. One of thorn ishca. ded, Alien passengers.—The New Common Council.—Dastardly conduct ! and is indeed in famously libellous on some of tlio most estimable citizens of New York ! The other is a copy of an anonymous letter addressed to Mr. ClaiU, the Mayor. The resolution was objected to. Mr. Hoffman moved a suspension Os the rules, the motion fail ed, Ayes 111 Nays 75. Mr. THOMPSON of S. 0. said this was a question of privilege of too much importance to be passed over. He therefore submitted a resolu tion calling on the President to say whether he had authorized the communication of those docu ments. Dut the Majority refused to consider the resolution. So the President or the Head of a Department or any Clark may insult the House and the majority will not even permit an inquiry. After some miscellaneous business of an un important character the House on motion of Mr. CAMBRELING resolved itself into Committee of the whole and took up the bill making appro, prialions for suppressing Indian Hostilities, and or arrearages of last year. The debate was continued to day by Mr. WISE in opposition to the appropriation lor the support of a Military force and for Military operations in the. Cherokee Country, and by Mr. DOWNING of Florida, Mr. GLASCOCK of Geo. and Mr. GRAHAM of N. C. in defence of the bill. The Committee rose without coming to any I decision. The Cumberland Road Bill was received from the Senate with an amendment. A motion was made to referit to the Committee on Ways and Means and rejected. A motion was made by Mr. ELMORE of S. C. to lay the hill on the table. It was lost also and the House then concurred in the Senate’s amendment and adjourned. In the Senate, alter the presentation of several memorials and petitions, and the disposal of a number of private bills, The Vice President laid before the Senate a communication from the Treasury Department, in answer to a resolution offered try Mr. Clay yostcr day, calling for information in reference to the re ceipt of bank notes in payment of government dues. The substance of it was that the Socrc lary had instructed the Collector at New York to receive the notes of any hank which had resumed specie payments, except such banks as have issued notes under five dollars. A copy of the instructions wascommunicated. The papers were ordered to he painted and laid on the table, ' Mr. WHITE, ofTcnncssee, moved lo lake up the communication from lire Secretary of yVar to the Cherokee delegation, and refer it lo the Committee on Indian Affairs. Mr. SEVIER took occasion to express his strongest disapprobation of the proposition of the Secretary of War. He objected lo this mode of removal as strongly as other gentlemen did to any extension of time, and looked on the whole course of the Executive in proposing to change .the terms of the treaty, as exceedingly injudicious. Mr. W HITE offered a resolution, (which was adopted,) calling on the Secretary of W'ar to say whether any answer had Been given to his cornmu nicatioii by John Ross, and the Cherokee Dele grtion. The reference was made to the Commit., tec on Indian Affairs. The Bill making appropriations for the Cum berland Read was taken up and passed—aves 33, nays 18. The Senate then proceeded lo the considera tion of the hill making opproprialions for the Navy and Naval service of the United Stales, and were engaged with it till the close of sitting, hut no vole was taken. M. From Bentley's MiscetUiny . Thc-Xaukecper ’of Amlcrmntt. Shortly after the general peace,—in common with troops of my compatriots, to whom the Continent had been bo lung closed,—l travel led to Switzerland, Little was then known of that country; the inns were few and bad. not so now. The inhabitants, too, have, since the period of which 1 speak, lost much of their individuality. The attrition of toreignors, and the corrupting influence of their gold, have, lam sorry to say, worn off much of that simplicity of manners, and most of the rugged virtues, bequeathed to the mountaineer by his ancestors. One cf my first visits was to the Lake of the Four Cantons; that lake, the border of which gave birth to the heroes and patriots who shook off’ the yoke ot foreign tyranny. The lakes of Switzerland have each a pecu liar character of their own, and tins owes its charm to its deep solitude and seclusion. From Altorff I crossed the Mont St. (10. thard, and, fortunately tor me, saw it before the new road, in imitation of that of the Sim. plon, was begun. The mechanical arts and civilization are the death of sentiment, des ' pair to the artist, hut still more to the poet. There was then no hideous steam boat, with its blackening columns of smoke, to destroy the connexion of the present with the past. ] A bateau,ol the-same construction as that . from which Tell, leaping on tlio rock,—where the chapel now stands to commemorate the , exploit,—winged the arrow into the heart ol j i Gesner, conveyed me to the fool of .fit. Go j thard. It tnen afforded no practicable way . for carriages, with their imperials, their con -11 riers, ami femmes rle rhambr , all packed to goilmr ut the lef. 'Hie pass that had been trodden for centuries,'dorp worn and precipi tous, admitted only oi' being traversed on toot, or« /vjjr/c/, - that pass, tin* most terrible in its sublimity ol all t ho rest, with its deafening torrent, and its sides thick set with giant pines, that yet gradually diminished into pigi niiea us they lost themselves among the clouds above our heads. It was the month of April, and near lon o’clock at night, when, alter a long march, 1 reached an inn in the outskirts of the small town that hears the same name of sonorous and musical sound, —Lugano. It was not the best hotel in the place; but, after tiiu chalets in which I had been lodging, I had become IV C* o , very iiidillerent on the score ol aecQimnoda tion, and glad to lind shelter anywhere. The landlord teemed to have little respect lor foot passengers, for ho did not move from his chair to give me welcome as I entered his door, lie was sealed in the chimney corner with a traveller, who looked like an old soidior, to judge from his grey moustache and half mili tary costume; while u girl of eighteen or twenty was preparing Ins supper. Our host’s manners were certainly nut pre possessing; and ho seemed but little inclined to afford mo that paid hospitality which Gold smith so much vaunted. Ho told me sulkily that his house was till), that his guests had retired, ami that the gentleman who hud just arrived, and to whom he pointed, hud enga ged his lust chamber. The fire place was one of that kind still common in farm houses m England, and uni versal in Wales, with wooden benches on each side extending the length of the chim ney. 1 told him, therefore, that it he would give me a couple of blankets, 1 would sleep sur le dur. The sirangor politely offered me half his bed; but, our host having acceded to my pro position, 1 declined to share it, with thu best grace I could. Some excellent vermicelli soup, delicious red trout, an an omelet aux herbas, consoled me for the modicum hospiliutn in other ways. 1 sat down with a true Alpine appepite. Dis covering that the cellar contained one excel lent bottle ol Bordeaux, the stranger and my self ordered a second. My companion was an agreeable person. We communicated to eucb other whither we were bound and whence wo had come. I spoke with raptures of St. Gotliard, and of the groen valley of Andermatt. At the name of Andermatt 1 saw a change come over the stranger's countenance, as though it were clouded by some painful retrospect; and, after drinking two bumpers of the claret in rapid succession, as if to give him courage, he thus began; “Von may have heard of Suwarrow, and the dreadful privations he and the Russians endured in that memorable retreat .over St. Gotliard. I was a conscript in the French army at that lime, and being on the rear guard, , composed of a company of chasseurs, in charge of stores lately conic up, we bivouack ed lor the night at Andermatt. Von remem ber well—-and who can forget]—that green valley, and the peaceable and quiet stream flowing through it, which by a strange caprice of Nature presents a startling contrast to the chaos of rucks and turbulence that marks the headlong course of the torrent till it mingles with the bluu waters of the Lake of the Qua lm Cantons. “ Well, there is, or was, at Andermatt a so litary inn.” The landlord, who had been hall asleep for some time from the effects of intoxication, here gave a start, and threw down his glass. 1 had scarcely till then remarked the man or his countenance; hut, as the lire light flashed upon him, I wondered 1 had not done so be fore. He was fifty fire or sixly years of age. His person, short and thick set, bespoke the mountameer; his hair had been almost as flax en as an Albino’s, hut grey now predominated; his eyes, too, like theirs, were of a bright grey, much inflamed with hard drinking; his cheek was pale with the leprosy ol drunken, ness; his features betrayed an habitual gloom,' as though he were engaged in the continual contemplation of crime, or a prey to some deep and secret remorse, —at least, such was the impression he gave me; and 1 was pos sessed with an indefinable feeling that he was in some way connected with the tale to which he was listening. There is in ourselves, it we did not repress it, in internal consciousness, a souse indepen dent of our external senses, that gives us a prophetic insight into the truth of things, a secret power of divination that makes a look an interjection, a gesture eloquent: thus with the throwing down of that glass; it was an echo that responded to my mind. I determi ned to watch him narrowly. Whilst 1 was thus reasoning with myself, the French officer had been going on to say. “Tins solitary inn, or rather hostel, was at that lime a mere refuge, such as we see on thu Simplon and thu oilier great passes, and had been built by the government tor the shel ter of travellers. We had bivouacked on the banks of tho stream. The detachment being a very weak one, not exceeding twenty rank and file, under the charge of a young sub lieu tenant, and the mountains full o t’fuijards and marauders, it was necessary to keep a good lookout. The young assistant commissary general in charge of tne stores, vvlm had no military duties to perform, had taken up his quarters at the chalet, whore, in the only room of which it consisted, they had prepared him a soil of bed, screened only by a blanket from that ol the host and his wife. As he was sit ting over a cheerful lire of pine wood, there entered a commis voyageur, who had been de tained for some time ut Altorfl’hy the presence of pile enemy, and their occupation of the pass, Aa soon, therefore, as he heard of it ■ being open, he had pushed forward on his way to Milan with the intention of prosecu ting tho rest of his journey under theguard of the troops, and proceeding with us the ensu. ing morning. Iha employers w ere great dia mond merchants; and he, having partaken ra ther too freely of thu cau de ceries, —the only liquor that the place supplied,—spoke rather mdiscrelly of the value of the gasket-—one of the usual brass bound shape—of which he was the bearer. 1 forgot to tell you that the com missary’s name was Adolphe, and that he came from the same village in Burgundy as myself. Wo had »een schoolfellows and friends from infancy; and our intimacy was sliil further strongtnoned by Ins affectum for my sister, to whom he had been long betroth ed, and was about to be married, when the de : cimation of the commune marked us on the I same day as victims to the conscription. It i was a melancholy moment for poor Adolphe I when the hour of parting came; and a still 1 more heart rending one to his mother, whose [Tri-wcckly.]—Vol. 4»l liusbund had been killed in action ut the brea king out oCtho rovolulionary war. Adolphe was her only son, her only stay in the world, ■ a stall to the loebleness of her age. The cot j tagu they inhabited, and an orchard and mea dow at the back, were her own properly; and she looked lorwurd to clasping on her knees the grand children oilier Adolplio and (io thun, —such was the imnio ot her intended danghter-in.'law. lint all these dreams ol happiness wore doomed to ho at once blight ed' When shu clasped him in her widowed arms, it was their lust embrace. “Wo joined lire army on the* same day, and were attached to the same corps; but in con sequence of tbo services of Adolphe’s father, who bad boon known to the colonel ot the regiment, my friend was attached to the com missariat department,—u brunch of the scr vice that promised him the realization of a ra pid fortune. But he was ill-calculated for a life of activity and enterprise; lie was of u me lancholy temperament, and his thoughts wore constantly reverting to his home, and those who had endeared tt. During the day’s march lie was frequently by my side. Thu frightful solitudes ol the Alps, and tho terrific grandeur ol tho Devil’s Bridge, recalled more forcibly the green pastures and vineyards of his native plains; ami u sombre pre-occupation of mind, a presentiment of evil, made him remark to mu that Bt. Gotbard was un eternal barrier between him and his hopes,—that bo should never again cross it. I laughed ul Ins Icara. Heated them as idle and chimerical, and en deavoured to cheer him; but in vain. tSuch was the mood in which 1 left him for bivouack, “Tho cominis voyageur and Adolplio ha ving supped together, iho latter offered the stranger,—as 1 have done you sir, —tho half of his couch, which ho graicfnlly accepted; and, having deposited his precious casket un der Ins head as a pillow, soon sunk into a deep sleep, as Ins snoring revealed. The oili er inhabitants of the chalet bad long before re tired to their grabals : but Adolpho’s nnaginu' tion was too active for slumber.” Here the host gave a deep sigh, which was however unobserved by tho imirutor; and in deed, there seemed nothing us yet to occasion it. I eyed him attentively; his head was res ting on his hand, the fingers ol which clasped Ins forehead, and 1 could perceive a convul sion about bis mouth, but it was momentary. The broken glass lay at his feet; and it se. in' ed to me strange that ho had not provided himself with another, as the bottle continued to circulate. “Thu moon was at tho full, and her rays streamed in a silver line through the middle of the chalet, stooping both sides of it in piichy darko ness. She seemed to invito Adolphe into the open air. Hegotup, and tried the door ; but it was fastened by two bolts, and lucked ; and, fear ful of disturbing the sleepers by unbuning it; he bethought him of the window. Tho butch yield ed almost without an cllbrl; and climbing to the | aperture by means of a wooden chair, wbicli ho | lifted af;er him, be leapt with it into the road. “What a glorious spectacle was that moonlight blight, among the Alps ! How sweetly did that ( emerald valley slumber in its beams ! How trem ulously did they quiver on the bright and pellucid stream that wound through it like a silver snake! Every point of ihe crags, even to the far oil heights of the Grimsol, was lipped with silver; and Ihe broad glance of tho Rhone that lay he., tween, distinguishable through its wide extent, glittered in the pure effulgence, and seemed like a lit pathway for spirits up to heaven I Wot u breath stirred the grass. Such was life silence, that tho measured step of thu sentinels was dis tinctly heard as they paced tho velvet turf; and the falls of the lieuss came ut intervals on the oar, fainlcr and more faint in response, till they died awayjin the distance. “Adolphe endeavored to find a calm for Ihe fe ver of his thoughts in that of Mature. Hu was soon challenged by the men on guard, among whom I was one. Wo recognized him ; and it being contrary to the teg'ulalions of the service, wc did not exchange a word, ilo passed in fiom of tho store,--, and my eye followed him along the course of tbo river till he was concealed by a pro jecting rock. How long he wandered, nr bow far * I know not, for I was almost immediately after wards rlioved. “I have since quesioned Adolplio as to the length of his walk ; all he romomliorcd of it was, that ho bad stood for some lime on the Devil’s Bridge, and, as ho looked down upon flic foaming torrent as i', flashed through tho arch, was tempted to throw himself over the parapet, and had groat difficulty in resisling tlie impulse. “Ai length, however, he found bis way buck to tho chalet, and laid himself down in Ins clothes by llio stranger, and fell into a heavy trance, which like that produced by opium, was scarcely slumber; it was disturbed by frightful-visions,— The figure of tho landlord of die inn seemed tu stand palpably before him, his hands dabbled in blood.” Our host here groaned audibly; but the n irra, j lor, absoibcd in bis own reflections, or supposing j that the groans arose from sympathy, stuicoly I noticed tln rn. ‘Ho thought,’ continued the officer, “ that u j death.cold corpse lay by his side; that ho felt the | very hand of a corpse grasped in his own! So like reality was the dream, that ho started up in [ tho bed, and slarlod wildly around him; hut all was silence, and the moon being down, —pitchy j darkness, —he laid himself on the couch ugain, ; and soon fell asloop. “We were to recommence our march at dawn. It was in the month of Juno, and in | these Alpine heights the day breuka earlier | than in the valley. It was scarcely three o’- j clock when 1 was awakem d hy a loud din of voices among which that of thu landlord rose | above the rest. He was in his shirt, and dragging toward our guards a man; that man j was Adolphe. He denounced him as having committed a murder in the inn, and called lor j an officer in charge. We ictl our mules half saddled, and rushed pell-mell into the chalet, \ where a horrid spectacle awaited us. The cuminis voyageur, yet warm and bleeding, was stretched on the bed, that boro the im press of another person; for a purple stream, yet welling from a wound in the dead man’s side, had formed a puddle there. Beside him lay the sword of Adolplio stained with tho re cent wound. ‘lt must be confessed that his having left the inn before day break, and by the window, —as the ciiair on the outside revealed, —in- stead of tho door; ihe disappearance of the casket, which it might be supposed he had gone to hide in some recess among the rocks, tu be removed at a convenient opportunity; allbrded strong circumstantial evidence to af fix upon him the murder. “A consciousness of the damning proofs | that every where stared him in the lace, and above all, the faces of the officer and those around him, where he legibly lead a full con viction of his guilt, and the certainty of the cruel fate—tho ignominious death—that awai ted him, so unnerved nod unmanned him that he stood staring with the glasay eyes of idiot- oy, and Imd not a word to urge in Ins delcnce. Ilia countenance, too, was palo and ghastly from horror at the deed, and the dreadful night that lio hud paused. Never was them a more perfect picture of conscious guilt, la this stale of despair he was handcuffed, and, marched, together with the landlord ot the inn, to Bollenginu’ where the head quartets of llm army were established. “Military trials, espocia.lv during a cam paign, are very summary. The commandant was a Swiss; ho entertained a high notion 01 the superior virtues of his countrymen, and scouted the idea of a suspicion attaching it self to a simple peasant, a mountaineer, who, he said, could have no use for diamonds or gold, oven when ho had obtained them. “After a delay of only a few hours, a court martial was appointed, and sate upon my poor, beloved, and innocent friend. It was with a prostration of all Ilia energies, mental and physical, and almost an unconsciousness of what was passing, that Adolphe listened to the connected evidence —evidence that lie had no power of rebitltidg. When called up on for his defence, he admitted the facts that had been adduced against him, all but that ot the murder; related his wandering among the mountains, his dream, and finding when he awoke in the morning the dead body by his side, and the auhergisle standing over him; but all tins in so hurried and confused a man ner, and with ho evident a prelurbalion of mind, that his whole demeanour scorned rath er to confirm his judges in the conviction that he was the murderer, lit short, ho was unanimously found gutl'y, and condemned to be shot. “Alas, for poor Adolphe ! 1 had an inter, view with him an hour before the fatal event Knowing him from a child, —knowing, as it wore, all the secrets of his soul, —my heart acquitted Inin. Vet was I the only one in camp who believed in his innocence. Though young and unwilling to leave the world, it was the thought of infamy, of his mother, of his betrothed, that gave poignancy to his anguish and made the bitterness of death more bitter. To mu he consigned the task of making his last adieus to those so dear to him, —of rescu ing his memory, at least to them, from the ig nominy attached to it; and, having mingled our tears, he prepared to meet his Maker. ‘■Nothing is so imposing, so awtul, as a military execution !—the muffled drum, —the firing party with their lowered arms, —the drawn.up line, round which the criminal mar ches, stnpl of his sword, and with bare head, i —the deep silence that reigns, suggesting i that of the grave, weigh upon the heart of • the coldest and most insensible. “Adolphe had summoned all his firmnesa for the occasion; ins step was sure, Ins cheek hud regained its natural hue, his eyes were ■ raised to heaven, where lie was about to he welcomed as a blessed spirit! 1 have him 3 even now before me on his knees ; the at. 5 lilndc in which ho presented himself to the muskets of his comrades has never passed 1 away ! Methinks the fatal word of coifik 1 mand to lire still rings in my ears ; and then, j transfixed with many wounds, lie fulls without , a groan.” j As the stranger concluded is these terms, deep und heavy groans and wild shrieks fdl | cd the room. The landlord of the inn lay struggling in strong convulsions on the floor ’ What had before seemed suspicion was now converted into certainty. The officer regard ed him attentively; a sudden recollection flashed upon Ins mind; and, gnashing hm teeth with concentrated vengeance ns ho hung over him and watched Ins distorted countenance, lie niutered. “ Tis he ! 'tis the bandit of the Alps !

But, thus related, it came still more keenly to the breast of the hardened wretch before us, and struck Ins conscience as with a knife !
