eaeaa.M.' THE I.IFE OF AARON BURR. Memairt of .1 iron Jlnrr ; hy Mifhew /.. Ttax'.t- Harper & Brother*. 1830.—The late A**«* Unaaj-whalovor diffareiiM of opinion nuy exist with respect to the public ami private character, was imquosUonahiy a man of great ami extraordinary talenU. During the revolu tionary war, ho was looked upon hy hi* asso cietea ami contemporaries n* possessing nearly all the requisite* of a high military chief; a* u lawyer, be stood on the same line with General Hatan-rox ; am) it* a political leader, the demo cratic party of this State i* indebted to him fir that organisation which has aince secured it so many triumphs. Through a succession of steps lie rose to the gerund office of the Government; upd that he failed in reaching the first, was only ■rasing to one of those turns of the die, on which *H« fate of little as well ns great men so often depend*. With toiny deplorable weaknesses, vend one most especially paramount over nil o ther*, he poaecssed high and valuable qualities, .which ought, iu justice, to lie placed in the Iml . once by which he is weighed. Hewn* an ad -mirar and patron of talents, in every station of life, ami to him it is mainly owing, that the coun try posses<e» so distinguished »n artist \ anderlyn. The life of such a man, chequered as it iv. by a series of successful exertions to\ase, followed hy such striking reverses, cannot but he inter •esiing. impressive, and useful, Fo trace hy what means, and hy the exereiso of whst particular vir tues and talents be gained his elevation, and by what fault* or transgressions he lost it, cannot but convey an important tnoial lesson, both to youth nnd to age, to aspiring as well as successful am bition. Perhaps m nun now living was belter quali fied than Mr. Uivt* for this task. Once the protege, and always 'be faithful friend of Col. Burr, whom h i, it is believed, never forsook, even in tho last extremity of poverty and fallen great ness, Mr. Davis had the best opportunities, while the entire possession nnd control of Colonel Durr’s papers a'forded him ample materials for his biography. The great danger was, that the judgment and feelings of Mr, D. might possibly lie too much influenced by the united operation of friendship, gratitude, and commiseration. As yet, however, we see no evidences ol this in the volume before ns, which, indeed, steps mi the threshold of those disastrous events which paved the wav for Colonel Durrs evils and ruin ; nnd from our intimate knowledge of Mr. Doras, ti e are well salthliwd tha ho will discharge Ilia duty uaa biographer with as much fearlessness and impartiality ns any poison to whom the task could have been intrusted. The great fault of Colonel Burr was. an titter destitution of all principle in its intcroonrsc with females; and his great foihlo nil overwhelming personal vanity, not imlrequently the weakness of great minds. The late General Hamilton, dis tinguished ss he was by a geniin which placed him on a level with any man of his lime, was not exempt from lln> failing; and the late William Dickney, ol Maryland, in the midst of exercises and exertions of gigantic intellect, is known to have paid as much attention to his dress, as ho did to hia coii.-nutmalo arguments in tho Senate and at the bar. This want of principle, Mr. Davis in the outset of his relation, onee for all frankly acknowledges, nnd unequivocally resigns Colonel Durr to pub lic condom union. Hut we. think his work would have been somewhat more useful, in a moral view, had he, without entering into particulars, i traced tim cotisequencss of this great and leading fault to (heir final issue, ami deplorable catastro phe. He indeed alludes more than oneo to the . early dislike of Washington, and has left us in doubt as to its cause, But no doubt exists in our minds that it was in « great measure owing -to tho Colonel’s curly exploits in the field ot gul -1 bmtry. The stern, inflexible virtue of Washing ton, whose private as well as public life is a stu dy for youth and age. must have shrunk with dis gust from a confidential intercourse with ono who paid no regard whatever to the most sacred obli gations of social life. The consequences of this deplorable want of principle, this inveterate, over whelming passion for invading the sanctity of domestic lies, without doubt carried its effect in to nil Colonel Burr’s future career, and mainly influenced its disastrous termination. No husband or father could thoroughly esteem, -or safely trust, or confidentially associate with a man whose acknowledged powers of fascina tion were so great, anil whom passions were so ungovernable us to ho equally beyond tho re- Israint of those obstacle of re ison, principle, nnd •duty, which constitute tho groat harriers to the violation of the domestic relations. The hus band and the father must equally have shrunk with instinctive fear and dislike (rout u ma., ■whole very first step into manhood was tho pre lude to the ruin of art inexperienced gill, under ■the protection of the same roof. Hence it was .that the friends of Colonel Burr were principally young men, who, not having themselves tunned these lies which he did not scruple to violate, It’ll none of those apprehensions which in so great a degree impaired tho confidence of his older as sociates, and cunt ibuted so much to lose him that of his country. The con se pursued by Mr. Davis, in relation to the memorials of those long past olliconccs which Colonel Durr, it seems, preserved for the purpose of banqueting his bedridden vanity, is . highly honorable to his feelings, his judgment, «nd his discretion- lie might have laid before the world aluscious regale oflong forgotten scan dal, or truths, substantiated by crowds of letters, •nd favored us with a companion piece to Mrs. Jameson’s Court of Charles the ■Second, which may be justly called an apology for titled posti tutes and high-born adulirossos. Such a book j would have been much marc profit thin than tho i on* before us. Dot Mr. Davis, according to his solemn declaration, which wo firmly believe, not only destroyed all these memorials, but neither took idmself, nor permitted any other to take co pies of them. They can no longer svrvoastho means of seduction or warning, nor ns memorials of reverend olTcncus, committed or imagined, by those who have almost all of them boon long mouldering iu the grave. By far the greater proportion of the present volume consists of familiar letters to and from Colonel Burr, the more interesting and valuable from possessing all the charm and grace of un studied simplicity. Among their writers will So found the names of many illustrious and distin guished characters of the Revolution, and the times which followed. They serve as bright links in the chain of narration, and supply tho succes sion of events through the medium of tho actors themselves. It is evident not one of these letters was written with a view to publication. They relate principally to domestic events, portray so •cial feelings, and we can truly say a more amus ing epistolary series has ttev-r fallen umlei our • observation. We have nut room for extract*, hut when wo apprize the reader that these letters come from the hands of Washington, Montgomery, McUougal, St. Clair, Judge Paterson, Theodore Sedgwick, Putnam, Duane, Ogden, and Roger Sherman, besides a vast variety of others, who, though historical characters, are not so well known, he may easily conceive their interest and value. They exhibit a sort ol picture of the pri vate and domestic feelings, cares, and interests of the Revolution, and contribute essentially to con vey to posterity the secret history of a revolution, which cannot he properly understood or estima te I without a resort to men’s thoughts as well as actions. It is. however, impossible to firm a just esti mate of any work until it is brought to a close- Toe hardest task of Mr. Davis it yet to come. He is about to enter on details, and discuss questions, •excitingiu the highest degree; in which party feelings and personal animosities, not dear! but •looping, will be touched and quickened into new life and vigor, add in which the High Priests of Federalism and Democracy were both conspicu ous actors. We know not how far he means to •enter on this “debatable land but from the fear lessness characteristic, of those portions or narra tive already given, we anticipate the truth detailed avith a manly frankness. Toe style of the author is plain, energetic, and eoicis". There is neither declamation nor exag geration. though it occasionally boars the stamp • ■;'■: mie-tiics/ and carries with it the authority ol •••mvietion; The work, thus fir, it equally in arresting and amusing.

J How Tall was Adam ?—Tins important question has been debated with as much car- j ( ncs!ness as if thn salvation of the world dc- f pended upon it, by rnimy very learned men of ( different ages and countries, who, however ( ’ they may have differed in their compulation, ( I n I agreed in one thing, that the ttulure of our ( . liml father was prodigious- ( r In the foremost rank of these speculators , wo must place the Jewisii Rabbin and the , mystical writers of the Talmud : some of the ( j latter assert that when Adam was first created j i ■ his liead lay at one end of the world, while j i his toes touched the other end ; hut that his i i figure was much nhortened after Ins trangres- i i sms, at the request of the nngols, who were I a:raid of such a giant. These Talmudists, 1 i however, loft him the height of nine hundred 1 ■ cubits; and others protend that on being ex pelled from Paradise lie walked strait through • the ocean, which, bo enormous was Ihe length ’ of Ida limbs, even after they had been short- 1 eti’td by sin, he found every way f.irdshlo. J Oilier Rabbins reject as fabulous the account of Adam’s stature equalling the length of the ’ world; they fix it at one thousand cubits at ‘ his creation, nnd said that God deprived him * ’ of i x-n-ily one hundred cubits when he had j t eaten of the forbidden fruit, These extravn- , , g’liit notions prevail among the Turks, Arabs, t and many people, whn certainly never read ( the old Jewish writers, but who all agree in ] . attributing to Adam a most super human size. . The statue of Eve, his wife, was of course , . proportionate, mid the neighborhood of Mec- i i ca they shew a hdi wjitcli served ns Eve’s , ■ pillow, and afar off, in the plain, the spots . where her legs rested, the distance from one , I of her feci to the other being computed at r two musket shots. ■ We should hardly have expected to nee i these dreams revivor! *in Prance, in the 18th i i century, and among a society of learned men, * yet the tact is. that in the year 1718, llenrion ’ presented in the Academy of Relies Retires a ' chronological state *f Inman stature, wherein 1 he soberly Insisted that Adam was exactly ( 1 one hundred ami twenryseven feet and nine j ! inches high, mid Eve one hundred nnd digit- | teen foot nine inches and there quarters ; he- t ing precisely Umr feet eleven inchcu and a | quarter shorter than her husband. According to llcnrion’s scale, tin size nf man nijiirlly diminished, after the first fall down to hifl’redcrnptinn, and hut for the nd- 1 vent of our Saviour, the human form rl'vino 1 would in the same process of diminution, ( have been reduced, lung ere our lime, to that ■ of a miserrhlo |toinoncoliiß, not so high ns my Uncle Toby’s knee. The learned author ' says that Noah was twenty feet shorter than Admit; that Abraham was only 27 feet high; but os for Moses, (poor puny cretauro!) he r measured not more than HI feel (ivmi the n crown of his head to the soles of his feet. 11 Ilenrioi), like a true llieruist, wedded heart ' and brain to his system, is by no means dis- • con raged or put out when he gels among the 1 facts of tolerably well authenticated history. 1 In contempt of n|| authority, ho says, Alex- s under the Great, who was remarked among 1 his contemporaries as being rather a small 1 man, was six foot high, but that Julius Ctesar only measured live feet. j. Under Augustus our Saviour was born, nnd ( then the stature of mankind censed to dwtn die, and began oven to shoot up a little ; but t there Menrion’s Echclle Chrnnologique stops, , he having proved, to fils entire satisfaction, „ that, in the course of three thousand years, K man hud diminished and lost one hundred and eighteen feet, and nine inches of his stature, e The Siamese and other Asiatic people have K n religions belief that corresponds with the I • ingenious Frenchman’s hard labored scale; t they say that since the loss of his primitive r innocence, man has gradually become less,& i that in the end he will not he higher than a 1 magpie. But all people, all religions, all sit- 1 perstitions, bate acknowledged the existence, • in former timesy of a gigantic race, nnd have 1 delighted to dwell upon the visionary picture ' ot days when we were purer in heart, strong. 1 or in frame and mind, ‘more blest, more wise,’ 1 than wo now are. Until a comparatively very recent date, the ’ sciences of geology and comparative anato my were so little cultivated, that nil the huge f hones of the largest.of living creatures, and k of those monstrous animals that have so long ( disappeared from the face of ths earth, were j I taken for human bones. People seem to , I have forgotten, that the world had ever any other than human inhabitants. The scattered j bones of whales, {rhinoceros, hippopotami, „ elephants, nay, even the fossil remains of the i guumidon, ichthyosaurus, the mastodon, and i the rniigaihenum, wore picked up and shown . as fruclural parts of the bodies of ancient ra ces of men ; nnd when ribs were found three 1 . feet in circumference, and thigh hones six feet long, no wonder they believed there had been enormous giants in the land. These re- - mains strongly confirmed the vulgar error, for when men can say ot any thing wonderful that they have seen with tlieir own eyes,them is no hope of convincing them. The evi . deuce of tinman skeletons found entire, of 1 j mummies r!000 years old, no ways larger or 1 differing in proportion to liiing men and wo- ( men, had no weight, with these largo heliev- ers in the marvellous, who could swallow an antideluvian monster for a man. % 1 One of the late numbers ot the British Fain- ] ily Library contains a life ot gen. Washing, ton, by Cyrus L. Edmonds, on extract from which wo append, as it strikes us as remark- i able lor beauty and good taste. In short, the whole history of the war dom onstraUM that its success was owing to the 1 talents and character of one man—That man 1 1 was Guorob Washington. Amidst the !f. contending opinions of thirteen independent j i states, amidst the turbulence ot factum, ami | the storm of cdullicting interests, he rose I, from time to lime, like the morning star upon | ( the troubled ocean, and immediately the lur-; bid passions of a nation subsided in peace.

It has (irmly resisted ail efforts to coax or , drive it from its no doubt, comfortable lodg ings. The poor man recently endeavored, by retraining from eating for two or three days, to starve the reptile out, but it ascended ins . throat, and almost produced suffocation, till he was glad to commence eating again when the nfilleted patient could distinctly feel the ■ pertinacious intruder busy devouring Ins feast! , The sufferer is now under the care of several physicians, to whom he has expressed i de si’Clo bcouoiied, for 'he purpose of dlolodg ling tint enemy ; but iliey have objections lo ' lb's mode of attack, until they have tried lr i kill the serpent, by introducing some liquid j which ha* been prepared, nnd which they are I obliged lo pass down tho patient’s throat I through a quill. We will watch with interest | the result of ibis singular affair, and let our readers tn .w its termination. We have read of a snake's being dislodged from the humain stomach by tasting a short tune, and holding the mouth over a bowl at boiled milk. We arc not aware that it has been tried in this case. Mu. Komiiit, —The following comments up on the performance of Mr. Forrest a* Othello, taken from the London Morning Advertiser, ond Morning Herald, will prove ccnclusively that the envious predictions of some who profess to be his admirers on this side of the Atlantic, asserting that tic would fail in nil of Bhak*pcarc’« tgrea t pieces, before on English audience, arc engirely , Unsupported by the results : Mb. Fiibbkst’s ‘Otbilo.’-As a wholehiscon ception of it was inagnificicnl. If in some of his sci ties, where, koan (and nc institute no invidious comparisons) used to carry all before him in iho ( resistless whirlwind of his passion, and thrilled the coldest bosom by those sudden nnd snptismg transactions from the “ liypcrlragical to the sub eolloquial,” ns Coleridge raid, if in some of those scenes Mr. Forrest appeared to lack that polish which stamped the “ great tragedian” with the j impress of liner genius, still lie acquitted himaelt j witli transcendent ability. His entree was mag nificient—it was a study for an artist, and elicit ed a round of deafening applause, which lie ac knowledged with becoming modesty. The fa mous ndilrrsuto the senate, in which Othello dc fonds himself, nnd describes his mode of court- i •hip, was distinguished by an even flow of elo quence—no more; and Mr. Forrest seemed, in tentionally lo make hut little of Iho point at its close, to which all English play-goers arc hccus. tomed. In the quarrel scene between liederigo and Casein, Mr. Forrest first gave earnest of the •mil within him, ami his delivery of the biting sarcasm— “——put up your swords, The dew will nisi them,” was worthy of the best representative of the Moor which wc have ever witnessed. From this mo ment, the actor was evidently determined not to lose Imhl of the minds of bis audience, nnd ably he kept that hold. When a conviction of the guilt of Desdemoiut first came full upon him, and ho exclaims— “ I’d rather boa toad, And feed upon the vapors ofa dungeon.” hi* emotion nnd gesticulation were absolutely tcr lilic, though neither course nor overacted. Here (nnd wo aie aware of iho hazardous assertion) Mr. Forrest really appeared to leave behind the best Othello of them all. Three distinct rounds | ot applause rewarded his successful exertion. In the beautiful passage ending with “ Othello’s occupation’s gone,” and which is usually printed thus, Mr. Forrest appeared to a slight disadvantage; he did not feel as if lie thoroughly appreciated the poetry; nor was his new reading a happy one; “occupation it” nut only destroys the music of the* line, but throws tbo emphasis where wc least of nil cxpcc it; but wo make use of this observation in nit spirit of hypor-crilisni, or with a wish to find fault without occasion. Wo might go on noticing in detail the performance, were such the proper course. In the latter scenes Mr. Forrest fully acted up to the intent of those fearful passages, more especially those which immediately precede the murder of JDexlemona, In a word, his per sonation of the Moor was masculine ami full of the lire of true genius, but it was deficient,though 1 not greatly so, in that pathos which Kean flung i mound the whole of this master-piece of Shak- I sponre’s mind —Morning Advertiser. \ Mr. Forrest,quickly answering the cull made upon him, appeared last night in oneofShak speare’s grout characters—ill Othello. With Mr. Forrest’s person we need scarcely remark that in the outward man he was a peculiarly fit repre sentative of the Moor, uud that he presented re probable seeming of a warrior, who drew “ his life and being from a royal liege.” Ho did not like most of bis predecessors, pay full deference to the text—“ Haply, though lam black," but ad opted u good chocolate colour complexion—a wrong, in our opinion, to the text and moral| of the tragedy. In this heresy, however, he has too many companions for us to visit him with any severe animadversion. His performance was not unworthy of his appearance in the part, although there was much in it lo bo critical withal; much to keep it asp piece of acting as a high preten sions, licancath the highest place. Wo may ten sorve at once, that it was full of Kcaji; not ob doed, in tame intimation, hut enmbinflk with that foreign vein a considerable rich nativtPono. On the whole the good—the great in it prevailed, nnd crowned the whole effort with success. The ap plause at various parts of Mr. Forrest’s perform ance was enthusiastic, and at the fall of the cur tain he was greeted with the most ardent accla mations.—Atanting Herald ot Tuesday. mta atnmMuaM annwuMinMaxastrui ■ n ■■iiiwt— CHRONICLE AND SENTINEL.

Let the reader, however, go mid see them, and judge for himself.

Gen. Santa Anna, according to a writer in the Louisville Gazette is light and slender ; about five feet ten inches high, and of an erect military hear ing.

Abolition Impudence. —The following is an extract of a letter from the notorious James G. Burney, Travelling Agent and Lecturer of the American Anti-Slavery Society in Ohio. Ho is writing from tho Maim! Valley, Ohio. “Every day gives me fresh evidencte that the cause ot emancipation is soon to pre dominate. Every effort of our opponents is spasmodic, and whilst God has not, as yet, per mitted any of us tr be destroyed, they arc con stantly weakened. If 1 mistake not. they are now more faint hearted in bis place than they were before the recent attempt and failure to put us down. Ido not belieye we will have another open mob—it may be that we may suffer from midnight depredators. The crisis of our cause is much nearer than brother Goodell, and many others, expect.

The banks are all safe and sound, but the unreasonable and unlbunded fears and ap prehensions of the depositor of money, holders of theirnotcs, is tho reason of tho present excitement. Accounts received this day from Lisbon, represent the cily ns perfectly quiet. Tho queen and prince wore daily to bo seen riding in the city in an open barouche. The Agricultural bank of Dublin had announced that it would resume payment in one week, mid at all ils branches as soon as llto necessary arrange ments could bo made. The panic, however, was great, and not allayed. Tlte run lor gold was pro digious.

The House proceeded to the consideration of the following resolution, heretofore offered by Mr. Garland, of Virginia: Resolved , That the Secretary of the Treas ury communicate to this House, it within his power, the dividends and surpluses which were declared by, and the surpluses and contingent funds remaining in the several hanks in winch the public money is deposited lor the years, 1833, 1834, and 1835, several ly. To which resolution tho following amend ment had been heretofore offered by Mr. Harlan: “And that ;l:e stale also, whether the salary or compensation of nn agent at the seat of the General Government compo ses a part of the expenses of the said banks; the name of the saidagent, and the several sums paid to him by the said institutions re spectively. The question being on the following a mendment submitted hy Mr, Vanderpoel, “And whether the Treasury Department has any agent or attorney lo correspond or communicate with said deposite bunks, in re lation to the public deposites: if so, who is a gent or correspondent, what compensation is allowed to him, and by whom is such allow ance made or paid.” Mr. PEYTON said he hoped the House would not sustain either the resolution or the amendment in their present shape. It’s only purpose would be to enable the Secretary ot the Treasury to send to the House, as he had done before, a white-washing and evasive report. Besides, the facts called for were such as, according to the gentleman from Rhode Island, he could not know officially, and he might, therefore, evade the inquiry al together. He gave notice that, when in or der, ho would move so lo amend the resolu tion and amendments, as to refer the whole inquiry to a select committee, with power to send tor persons and papers. It would be perfectly absurd, in his opinion, to send to that Secretary any of the proposed inquiries. If there was any thing wrong in the inter course between Mr. Whitney and the Banks, the Secretary knew it, and it was his duty, as an officer and as a man, to communicated to the House, without a formal call. Mr. GARLAND, of Va. said he had no desire whatever to obstruct the detection ot any pultc frauds, on the contrary ne had voted at the last session for the resolutions of inquiry offered by Ids friend and colleague, Mr. Wise. But this resolution lie had submitted solely with a view lo ascertain some facts connected with the question of currency now before the House, and he had no idea that this inquiry into Mr. Whitney’s concerns was lo be attach ed to it, particularly, as the very inquiry was proposed in another resolution now before the House and postponed to this very day. In his opinion it was now due to the govern ment and to the Secretary of the Treasury himself that an investigation should take place. He was willing, and he hoped his political friends’would be willing to meet the investigation, in the fullest and freest manner. The officers of our Government ought not on ly to be innocent, but lo be free from suspi cion. He concluded by slating it to be Ids intention to modify his resolution so as to meet the views of the gentleman from Ten nesaec, (Mr. Peyton.) The amendments pending having been withdrawn Mr. GARLAND accordingly ad ded to his origin resolution a second resolu tion for the appointment ot a committee to in quire into the business, compensation, &c. of thejagent, if any there was employed by any of the Deposite Banks, at the scat of govern ment. with power to send persons and papers. Mr. PEYTON expressed Ids entire assent to the form of the resolution now proposed. Mr. McKAY moved to amend the resolution by calling for the amount of public money on hand, in “different years, in those banks, and also, for a statement, as far as lie may bo able to make it, of the profits made during the same year, by other banks, than the deposite banks. Mr. Garland accepted the amendment as a modification of the resolution. Tho question on the different branches ot the resolution was taken seporately, and carried in the affirmative. The last branch was agreed to unanimously—yeas 199. Mr.”WISE’S resolution, for tho appoint ment of a select committee to consider and report upon that part ot the President s rncs ’ sage which speaks of the ability and integri ty"with which the several offices of the public Departments have been discharged was taken up. Mr. PICKENS, who was entitled to the floor, said he was prepared to address the Hoarse in regard lo the subject,—but. Mr. HANNEGAN moved its postpon* , meat to tomorrow. Mr. JARVIS was opposed to any further i postponement. If tho resoluiion was inten ' dud merely us a peg to hang speeches upon, it ! might be postponed; but if it was designed to prosecute the investigation at the present session it was time that it should be adopted. 1 The motion to postpone was rejected. Mr. PICKENS then took the floor and | spoke at some length in support of the resolu | lion aflea which The House adjourned. To know a man, observe how ho wins his ' object, rather than how ho loses it; for, when | we fail, our pride supports us, when we suc cced, it betrays ns.
