THE HUsiAR^TRADDLE. Old Ludovtc Han* always regarded his Middle with the deepest veneration; ami yet there appeared nothing about it capable of ex citing hie idolatry, ll was* Turkish saddle, old, *nd deeply stained with blood; but to (lie brave Ladovio it recalled a tale of oilier days, when ardent, young and enthusiastic, lie first drew his aword in defence of hia country, against his enemies. Ha had been opposed in battle against the invaders o( his native Hun,‘ary, ami many an unbelieving dog had hia good rword smitten to the earth. Various had been tlic fortunes of the war, and too otlcn was the glory of the ho ly-croa* dimmed by the luatre of the trium phant crescent Such sad disasters were sel dom alluded lo by the brave Hussar, but he loved to dwell on the successful actions in which ho had been engaged. It was in one of these combats (hat sudden, ly cut off from hi* party, he found himself sur rounded by four infuriated Turk*. But tha recollection of you and your angel, mother, would Ludovic say to Ins* daughter, nerved my arms. I was assailed by nil my opponents. How three fell, I know not; but severe and long was the conflict with the Inst of my foes, whose powcrlul arm was raised against me. Already I saw my wdu a trourn lul widow, and my child fullieriesv, and those dreadful thought* infused fresh vigor into my arm; I smote the infidel dog to death, hurled him from Ins steed, A rifled him os belay. At (Lia moment several of the enemy appeared in aighl but 1 was lo much exhaiiMc.l to renew tha perilous confl c • My gallant horse lay wounded and in the agonies of death; I threw myself on the Turkish courser, forced him on l at hi* utmost speed until I regained my squad ron. The saddle was steeped in the blond of my foe, and mine mingled witli it. When | a cessation of hostilities permitted the troops I to rest for a space from the horror* of war, I hastened with the treasure, which during the campaign I had acquired, to my home, and purchased these fertile fields around my dwel ling and fbrgot for a season the miseries of war. The good Ludovic could hern pause. He still retained a lively recollection of hia lost wife, and he could not bear lo narrate the circumstance* of her illness and death. Af ter this sad event his home became hateful to him, and lie resolved again (u engage in the arduous dm ea of a soldier. Hia little Theresa waa kindly adopted into the family ot bis only brother, and there, after a lapse of some years, our good llnaaar found her bloo ming in youthful beauty. Ludovic arrived only in time to close the eyes ot Ins brother, who, on hia death bed en treated him to bestow Theresa on hia only ■on, when they should have had attained a proper age. Grateful for his almost parental care of In* child, and moved by the situation of Ins brother, whose whole heart oeemed to be bent on this union, Ludovic promised that when his daughter should have obtained the age of 18, sbo should become the wife of Karl, provided Karl himself desired ‘.he con nection at that lime, and aatisfied with this promise the old man died in peace. Thia engagement was concealed from Theresa,hut it was knewn to Karl, who exal ted in the thought that thia rich prize would one day be hie. With low habits and a course turn of mind, the delicate grace of Theresa had no charms for him, he loved her not, but beloved the wealth that would one day be bers, and which ha looked on with a greedy eye. The thousand soft and nameless feelings which accompany a tender and gen vrous passion, were unknown to Karle. It waa a hard task to him to attend his gentle wwtreaa; nor did he ever appear disposed to play the lover, except when some other seem ed disposed to supply his place. It waa at a real fete given by Ludovic to his neighbors at the termination of an abundant harvest that Karl first chose openly to assert hie rigid. He had taken it fur granted that he should open the dance with Theresa. What then, waa hi* indignation when on entering the apart ment, her slender waist was encircled by the arms of a young hussar, moving in tho grace ful walls I—The evident superiority of his riv al, whose well knit limbs, firm step and mar rial air, formed a striking contrast to hia own clownish figure and awkward gait, only in creased hi* ire, and in violent wrath he ad vanced to Theresa, insisting on hia right to open the dance with her. Theresa pleaded her engagement : he persisted : she refusid hie request, and laughed at his anger.—Ho became violent and rude. The hussar inter fered, and the quarrel rose ao high as to draw Ludovic lo the spot. Karl in a voice almost choaked with pas sion, laid hia grievances before him.—Theresa in a tone of mdigination complained to her fa ther ot hia insolence, and appealed to Inn whether she was not at liberty to select any partner for the dance that she thought proper. "You have no such liberty!" thundered forth Kiri. “Y hi are my botrotbed wife and as such you belong to me alone." Theresa cut uo him a smile full of scorn and contempt ,bui it faded a* ahe luked to her father and a deadly paleness overspread her countenance as she inquired, “Father does tltis man speak the truth?" “He does my child," wu the reply; and she dropped insensible at bis feat. Theyaong busier now knelt down beside her. paamsaately kissed her lair forehead and raised bet in Uis arms, bore tier to an adjoin ing room, followed by the farther and Karl. Theresa slowly revived. At first she saw no OMtOfldhMOtMinga faint sigh murmured, •it map all a toirt'd dream!" An anguished groan started her into perception and agony, ithc ioniced up and saw her farther standing before her with folded arms and a counlen -once clouded .with grief. Kari also stood near with an exulting smile: and lbs hussar knelt boside tier but bn face was buried in bis i J;*od«. She then found that it was ao dream looked at Wf*tli*r, “Farther i*ihm» o* hope!" "Xonr, my h.mor is pledged." Mhe then turned to the husrar and placed her co!d hand in hia; then rising suddenly, threw herself at the feet of Karl. “O Karl; have mercy! I luxe another—you do not love me — ave pity on us!” “By ihe powers of Heaven and Hell vou shall tie mine, Theresa!” "I appeal to my farther." “Will your farther violate hi* promise lo the d>-*(li • “No,I will not,"said Ludovic with solemni ty- “ Then, Theresa,” exclaimed Karl, with fiendlike exultation, “no power on E* lli shall anvc you Irom being mind" and tnne saying lelt the house. Theri-aa rose from her knee*, and threw lieraelt into the arm* ot her lover. The (ire sauce of her father was no restraint on her pure lendernere. Toe tear* fell on his man* ly countenance lint his concluding words, ‘•that lie must hold it sacred," threw them in to a new paroxism of grief. “We must part then, ArohoM," said the weeping Theresa; "»e must pirl—oh cau we survive tins crtlei blow. “No," said Arnh<'ld, • no I cannot be with out you; lei us once more e itreal your father lo have p ty on us," and the youthful lovers threw themselves at In* feet. “Arnhold !" aaid Ludovic, a’crnly, “thou a sold.er, and ask me to tarnish my honor!" Arnhold fell the appeal, he started up, raised the weeping Theresa, cut off with Ins sabre one long bright luck embraced, and kissed her plor-cd her in the anna of her father and (led. Every pass ng day csrr cd with it aorne por tion of the fortitude of Theresa, a* she saw the near approach of tho period which was to conatgn her to a state ao dreadful. Three little weeks were all that lay between her and misery. Ludovic endeavoured lo soothe her, hut she would not bo comforted. Had i ever her aIT.-dions (seen disengaged, Karl t would have been d sinstoful to her; but with . her affections placed upon another, the idea , of this union sppeared insupportable. • “My child!" would Loudovic *»y, in>r , rupting a passionate burst of grief, "by what [ magic ha* Arnhold gained possession of your heart!" "lie is an hussar,” replied Theresa. , There waa something in this reply which moved Ludovic ; he recollected that he him self had imbued the mind of the daughter with thu sentiments of respect mid esteem for the character of a good soldi' », and conscience reminded him that he had two often exulted the prufeosom of anna above- the peaceful and unobtrusive occupations of the husbandman. Was it wonderful ll.cn. that Theresa should have imbibed any of this spirit I or that she should have yielded her heart lo one who pos sessed courage to defend her, and tenderness lo soothe her, under the affliction* of life ? Arnhold dwell near them; ho had been the playmate ofTlieroaa, and with glowing cheek* and sparkling eyes, they often listen together to the warlike exploits whicn thu good Lu dovic delighted lo relate lothom ; and to these conversations might be attributed the passion, ate desire of Arnhold to adopt the profession of arm*. Accustomed to sue them play to gether ' 9 children, and 1 king the society of the generous mid spirited boy, Ludovic lorgol the danger, when their childhood passed *• way, of ilieir afflictions assuming a totally dif ferent character. It was so, and Ludovic ( now saw with deep grief that Ins daughter was unalterably attached lu the young sol dier. If Theresa was unhappy, her father Was ] scarcely less so; he blamed his own impru dence and on contras' log the character oftbo 1 1 two you'll*, a violent conflict between Ins * feeling and Ida duly arose in Ins breast; the < stern honor of a soldier, triumphed, and he i deemed hnnaelf bound to complete the sacri ficc. Unable, however, to endure the sight of her ' grief; he carried her to the abode ol a youth- 1 lul; female friend, wh. if rnrrly resided near i them, but on her marriage had removed to a i village about sixty mile* distant. There he , left Theresa, after receiving her solemn pro miso that she would return with him the day 1 before that on which alto would complete her 1 eighteenth year. “rather," raid ahe, with a stammering i ' voice, 1 have never deceived you. It i live 1 will return; but do not grieve to deeply should my heart break in this tearful strug gle.” The old hussar dashed awsy a tear which strayed down hia sunburnt cheek, embraced bis child and departed. Time worn gradually away, and at Inal tho day arrived winch was lo ai-al Theresa's fate It found her in a state of torpid despair.— Exhausted hy her previous struggles, all feel ing* arenied dead; bu> her mind was awakened ■ to new Bufferings.—A friend strived lo con duct her lo her father. The good Ludovic lay, apparently on tho bed ofdeathand with breath less impatience Theresa pu sued her journey. On her arrival, her father’s sick room was net aoltlary. The detested Karl wi* there and there too was tho youthful hussar. “My child," aaid Ludovic, *my days are numbered, my fate must soon bo decided' and alas! your* also! To my dying brother 1 solemnly promised that on this day I would offer you to his aon for his bride. Without fulfilling my engagement 1 could not die in peace; even the grave could offer no rest.— Can you sacrifice yourself for my future re po#e?’ "1 can, I wtll, cried the unfortunate The resa, sinking on her knees, ao help heaven!” ‘Heaven will bless a beautiful child,’ said Ludovic, with favor—Karl, draw near. Karl obeyed.—Theresa shuddered, i *Karl,' said Ludovic, ‘you say you love mv child, cherish her I conjure you, as you i hope, for future happiness. In ner you will possess a treasure but I warn you, she will i bring you but part of my possessions." Karl started and retreated a lew steps. That how , aver continued Ludovic, ‘which I looked up on a* my greatest earthly treasure, 1 give vou i with my daughter. You Karl, believe me'lo . have some virtue*. Alas? slasl you know not the secret sins which have sullied my life— , the rapine, the murder, but enough of this; I | have confessed lo my maker, mid have ab. | solution, for the duk catalogue—but on con , ditiun that I leave all my wealth to the church . as an atonement for my transgressions.

Mr. Editor—A writer in the Southern Banner, signing himself “Clark," after pretending to cor | reel the account given of the meeting recently held at Athena, in reference to the con emplalcd , southern importing scheme, loudly declaims a gainst it on the score of its telfithneta, and then 1 addresses himself lo the editors of Union presses who have written in its favor. We regret that any southern press should be the vehicle of circulating an article so directly op -1 posed to the beat interests of the south. And we must unequivocally deprecate the course which baa keen pursued by thia writer, in attempting to make thia a party question. What, air haa it coma lo this, that no measure of public utility to our whole Stale can be pro posed, without meeting with opposition from par tisans upon parly grounds! Who the writer is we know not —we care not. Our object in noti cing tbe- article ia only to warn our fellow citi tens against permitting themselves to lie led astray by auch factious newspaper contributors. TUe scheme proposed is one in which every southern citizen is deeply interested. It promi ses advantages to no favored class, but to all of us. ’Phe poorest mechanic in the country ought to feel a deep interest in its success. Wc should lie glad to know if the poor man, who has to buy clothes for his family, and has but little money with which to buy, would not find it as much to his advantage to buy at the price he would now pay in New York, as the rich man, who has perhaps more to buy, but more abundant means also! Tbe South possesses resources am ply sufficient for tho projected cnterpiize. How faligueing and expensive is it to our southern merchants, at present, lo have to vi.nt New York, once or twice a year, to lay in their supplies of goods. And then we who buy in tbe south,must pay a still higher price to cover the ezpenese of •hipping from New York here. Sir, if there bo any enterprize of a high and noble character, in which wo can engage aide by aide, without re spect of partT.it is the one wo are considering. Wo repeat what we have said before; it is nu party measure—it has no bearing upon party po litics—and we sincerely tiual, that without re spect lo party,our people will unite in the scheme. It will increase our population—it will increase our resources—it will enrich our people individu ally—Sir, what will it not do! We hope when it cornea lo making the effort, we shall all have an opportunity of contributing to its success—the poor as well as the rich—the man who can subscribe but a hundred dollars, as well as he who can aubacrilie a million.

In the early part of the week the demand was limited, and the daily sales rather below an avetage; yesterday and to-day however, we have had more demand, which be , ing freely met, has augmented the week’s busi ness, without, however, creating an improved fueling in the market. In prices we make no 1 general alteration, though the tendency is rather I against the holders. Sea Islands are neglected and rather low. Brazils in far request, and fully support former prices. Egyptian, though ’ more in demand, has given way in price, and 1 may be quoted Jd lower. Surats in fair rc -1 quest, but heavy of sale. 3000 American taken , on speculation, and 8000 fur export. Sales 30 bags Sea Island 16 a 35d; 8016 Up ’ land 4 } a 6j}; 4870 Mobile, Ac. 4} a 7j; 8680 1 New Orleans 4 a 8d; remainder foreign. The ■ sales to-day are 3000 bags, at steady prices, and r would probably have been more, had not business , been partially suspended by the interment of the late king.

Several of them v say that “to form an alliance with Russia is to ti lose all chance of one day returning to the throne I of France.” ft The judgement rendered by the Court of Gas- it sation in March last, decided that a marriage h i abroad between a French subject and a foreigner p ia void unless the usual publication has been ci made in France, and the parent* of the French party duly applied to, is now considered as fixed d law, and was acted upon in a case brought be- tt fore the tribunal yesterday. tr Paris, July 7, 1837. t The acounts from the French manufacturing h towns still speak of great embarrassment; the S number of workmen in the different manufactories it is daily reduced; the warehouses remain encam rc bered with produce, without any demand. The U fairs of tbe South have been braked to for the sale of goods from Rouen, Mulhouse, Lyons, si Nines, Ac.; but the competition in these articles pi have caused a considerable decline in the price, ol and thus increased the embarrassment of bouses c« which had calculated on considerable returns, lo From Lyons, however, the accounts are lather Jt favorable.

Bulletin of the I6lh inst. contains an interesting letter dated Velasco, Aug. 5, in which a very flattering picture is gi ven of the prosperity of the Tcxian Republic. Houston, the President, it is stated, has returned, in fine heath and spirits, from his journey, in which ho succeeded in effecting a treaty with the Indians. The writer says :—“ I think in the absence of something definite from Mexico, the next con gress will order a call for the army on lurlough and invade Mexico. Ten thousand men can be raised for that purpose in thirty days here in Tex as, and I suppose, half that number in the Slates. The hostile Indians have retreated before our men, who are prosecuting the war with vigor, into their remotest villages, where they will have to give in or fight. Houston intends issuing his proclamation against duelling shortly. The corn crop is Ire nicndous and cotton very fine. Ail other crops accordingly. The latter piece of intelligence must be highly gratifying to those who have lately observed, the tendency of the must respectable individuals in society to run into the extreme of duelling and personal violence. A few such examples of the determination of high public functionaries to dis countenance this prepostetuus and brutal fashion would have a salutary effect upon public opinion. — Mob. Times.

M.—We never knew greater complaints by the merchants fur wantofdiscounts, than there are at the picscnt time, particularly aga nal the Bank of America, the Union and State Banks. Some of the other banks, particularly the Merchants’, New York and Mechanics’ Banks, have the reputation of affording quite as much aid to their customers as their means will allow.- Tho fact is, that so long as the present shameful arrangement is coutinued, of paying six percent, on all balances, the merchants must expect to he ruined. Those hanks that arc debtor banks, that is, owe the other balances, pay the same interest they receive, they of course will not discount, while those banks that arc creditor banks; that is have balances due from the other banks, on which they receive six percent., have no inducement to change their securßy from banks to tnd.viduals.so that the merchant is completely between two fires. The Banks, whatever their discounts may be, have no interest to discount, and as they are gen erally governed by interest, the merchant receiv es no favor. But little doing in Exchange yesterday. On London it rated from 118 to 120. The export of Specie by the Liverpool and Havre Packets not near as much as by the last Packets. Now that stoppages of payment have ceased, the English merehats and Bankers arc looking about to decide upon what has been the cause of the existing sad state of things. When that cause is pretty well understood, wo can form an opin ion of the time when wo shall escape from its op eration—a fact very important to know. It strikes many with surprise that “the Exper iment,” as it is called in this country could have produced such commercial disasters throughout the world. We believe, however, it is now a well ascertained fact in political economy, that when any one nation disturbs the specie basis of the world, it disturbs the WHOLE world. That specie basis “the Experiment” did greatly disturb, and things, therefore, cannot be quiet till the equipoise is restored. Our Government low. ered the standard of gold 6,68 per cent, in rela tion to the standard of silver, and thereby made it profitable for our merchants to bring gold from Europe and sc lit in the American cities in ex change for silver, at the regulated standard, or for banker’s notes. This withdrawing of gold from Europe, chiefly—it may be said in effect altogeth cr—from England, which is the great centre and reservoir of gold, and where alone it is made the exclusive standard ot value, was the immediate proximate, obvious cause of derangement. Ad ded to this, were the groat efforts made to bring gold here, for the purpose of giving the many Banks we were creating some specie basis, —the numberless incorporations of these hanks—the French Indemnities paid in gold—and primarily among all the Specie Circular. Alarmed at the drain of gold from their vaults, the Directors of the Bank of England first endea vored to obstruct ihe transactions of the Loan mongers and Stock Exchange operators, that they might be restrained from bringing Dutch, Portuguese, Spanish and other bonds into the British money market for tale in exchange for gold to be sent to different parts of Europe. They al so attempted to damage the credit and restrict the circulation of Joint-Stock Banks. And then they proceeded to break down the mercantile positions of the great American merchants by discrediting and rejecting their hills. All these devices were resorted to for the purpose of throwing down pri ces, that it might he no longer profitable to bring bonds or commodities to English ports to ex change for gold and silver; and aso for the pur pose of destroying the means, which was their credit, by which ihe merchant bankers connected with the United Stales transmitted to that coun try the money capital of England. The Bank Directors also intended together with these more immediate and pressing objects, to make such an Impression on the foreign exchanges as should have the effect ot stopping the exports of the precious metals to all parts of the world, and of causing them to flow back into England. This struggle, which began last summer, we ienounccd in the columns of the Express last an lumn, as one calculated to lead, as it has, to t c most frightful lesults to both England and the United Stales. The Bank of England alledged towever, as an excuse, that such measures as the Specie Circular was a resort to force to darange •he specie basts of the world, and that it must be •csisted by all nations that would not credit the United States with their own precious metals The Directors of the Bank of England after a druggie which lasted nine or ten months, nccom ihshcd all their purposes. They reduced prices »f raw material* of manufacture 40 to 60 per »nt,on an average; they knocked down our cot on one half they restricted the circulation of ' mint Stock Banks; they barred the introduction * new b ° n ?* from continent of Europe; they leitroyed the credit of the American merchant Jankers, raised the Exchanges, and caused gold [> flow back to England. 6 In order to effect this flowing back of eold and ilverlbe Bank of England in\ great measure 1 destroyed the means of foreign commerce some countries, juat as much aa long continual drought suspends vegetation, or drawing off water m slops internal navigation. The credit of the ■ American merchants was the meant rs p u , chasing goods from English manufacturers, 0 ( v.** chartering ships, and purchasing commoditiet jJj in distant countrier, and the credit of the same or of other merchants which have been also *’ neatly annihilated, kept up the commerce be. 1 twren England and China, between the United 1 States and Asia, Africa, South America, and '.il i lie West Indies. The evil has operated with on j exnmplcd force upon the whole people of Bin . i mingham, Sheffield, Manchester, Liverpool, ti»J ! Glasgow, and the cirrnmjncent districts upon thl j manufacturers of Nottingham, and the Poller in . 1 and upon some departments of the wollcn and worsted trades. These have all been deeply j affected hy the suspension or paralysis in the • two great channels of commerce carried on direct or indirectly, between England and the United , Slates and between England and China. England however, has been saved by its traffic with the con ’ tinent of Europe, with Africa, with her immense colonies in all parts of the gloh.t and with South America which has not been affected in any dc j gree approximating to the same point of evil; nor j with the exception of wool from New KoiLci, have the products brought from these countries fto pay for manufacturers of them fallen in price | . in the same ruinous proportion as the imports from j j the United States and China. e These views partly out own and partly taken . from the Bankers’ Circular, are not new in this j lt | country, but are important to he borne in mind. , r What we now copy from this circular is also highly important; for it holds forth not only a pro- j g raise of, hut a reason for a better statc’of ‘ | “The Bank of Enland,” says the v.t.-.H)|, , “being now placed in circumstances of com. j I. pantiro safety, with regard to the exerdre ,1 s of her important function of regulating the ’i. currency, it is not likely that the Directors ] f should bo again overwhelmed with qualms , s and apprehensions concerning the course . i which they seem befit upon taking; they may I continue to ndminiisler relief without fear.— S i We never had any doubt of their disposition ■ to give all the support to commerce which they i 1 dared to adventure, looking at their own ore- j ■ carious and defenceless position. Now that they have been fortified by imports of gold and silver, we cannot imagine any cause for * supposing that they will decline to carry thro’ promptly and efficiently the arrangement |j i which they h i vemade with William and Jarru* | 1 Brown if-Co; and will also relieve to the tt- a ’ termost in their power, the holders ol bills i drawn on the three suspended firms. If thin, g 1 assurance be-veil grounded, we do think the ”, 1 point of extreme severity ottrinl and suffering has been passed. It is principally with the > disorganizing effects of a pressure, which is at this moment in the c turseof being mitigilril s that we have now to deal; and to deal With | them effectually requires that we should not ' magnify the evil, hut see it in its just bearing '$ i and proportions.
