LUCK IN BATTLE.. 1 IRQM THB WASHINGTON NATIONAL JOURNAL. Jacob Scout, as he is familiarly called," Cobe Scout," was a - soldier in the revolutionary army, and wascom minded by General Wayne, the Chester county farmer. The night that Wayne retired at the Paoli, after the de feat at Brandywine. was cold, dark, and rainy. The troops were all locked in the arms of sleep, their mus kets at their sides. and ready to be used at a moment's notice. The countersign bad long been passed to the sentinels—it was, " Here we come r and they were watchfully pacing to and fio in front of the encamp. ment. Vansant, a Bucks county regular, was re of them. A stranger approached him in the darkness of the night. Vansant dropped his musket to the charge,. and ordered him to advance and give the countersign. " Here we come," whispered the stranger at the bayo net's point; and here ste come it was, for on the instant Vansant was run through and pinned to the earth, and 'a detachment of British infantry and horse rushed passed ° him to the tents. The countersign had been overheard by a woman when the guard was set at sun-down, and immediately conveyed to the enemy. Cube Scout was sleeping in his tent, when the groans of the dying around him broke his slumbers. Not a shot had been fired. The enemy, with murderous pre , ' cision. were working with the bayonet. He seised a sword is the confusion of the scene, and rushed out of the tent. His comrade, overcome by numbers, thrown into disorder by the attack, were hastening is crowds towards a fence in the rear of the encampment, over which to escape into the woods. The firing now began ; and the cavalry were galloping among them, trampling them down by dozens. The rush at the fence was dreadful. Whoever fell, fell to rise nb mere, for the horses feet completed their destruction. As Cube was making ' his way to the fence, a British horseman raised his sword lb cleave our hero's head; but Cobe was before him. He caught the blow upon his sword, anti before the trooper could repeat it, a lucky shot, whether from friend or foe is unknown, brought him gasping to the ground. Cobe's lucky genius suggested the means of instant preservation. He put his foot into the stirrup and mounted the saddle. In a moment he was out of reach of friend or foe. The horse be had brraught off ions a noble animal.— , - lts owner must have been an officer of rank, for the trappings of his charger were rich and rare.. The saddle - was cushioned with silk and velvet ; before it was slung a short blunderbuss and a pair of silver mounted pistols. Behind was a blue cloth valise. The other trappings were equally valuable. In the valise was found fine linen a various kinds, a pocket book and four huge ' bone shoes, brought out by the enemy to serve the want! of the cavalry, for each trooper's pack saddle was provided with four of them. Cobe sold his horse for a goo., price, kept the shoes iu trophy of his prowess, and rej. , ined the gallant Wayne. years afterwards, Cabe and his old friend Van. , sant, nni , recovered from his wound, were fellow st,l - in the band that carried Sony Point by storm. Thstt detachment was composed of the survivors of the Paoli--4.r Wayne knew that he could depend upon them. They marched up at midnight with filed bayonets, without fl nts. in their muskets. Silence was in all their counters;gns, ' Hue we come, Paoli !" They marched onward under a murdering fire of Inns ketry und grape; they baited , not a moment. but car slid death and victory before the m. Cube Scout will tell you that when. he stepped into the fort it was male deep in blood. - As their Genet al mount•.d the rampart, a musket shot struck the upper pact of his forehead and injured his skull. The man is now living in Bucks county who held his head while he was trepanned. Two years ago heapplied for a f ension, and made oath that he was a pauper He now gets 96 dollars a year.. Such is na tional gratitude! pobe Scout now lives in Montgomery county. He is still healthy, but the inns mines of old age are creeping frit upon him. He u,ed to glory iu relating all he kneW abLot the war; and, indeed, where is the veteran that does not ? But age has palsied his Wilder. The twilight cf uncertainty, sh Using says. has already cast its shadow ri.sin - d him, and upon his actions and his name the euvain of oblivion is about to descend for ever. THE EVENING STAR. LONDON. - 4 DECEMBER 26; 1529. • Sr. SraierN.—CLost llouo•r. It must be in the recollection of our Readers, that some few years;since a letter of the Rtght llonrurable WILLIAM &intim, at that time his Majesty's Attorney General for reland, to Lord Nonsuttv, was given to the w..ttd by filt.O'CoN ELL. Every one wondered Low it was procured. It was a pr irate letter, and though it had been fr•und on the King's highway, it should not have been made public. Etr. Mr.O'Coramt. thought °thesis ire; and we refer to the circumstance for the in:- - portant impose of grounding on it a most serious charge against the Popish Priestbo .d of Ireland. I.' a Meeting of the Roman Catholic Association on the 16th inst. Mr. O'Cotarta.t. tidied their attention to the Rev. Mb. 13uaite, who was present, and having filsedike eyes of the Associators upon this Reverend and ilotiounible Gentleness& whom he,ealled " his excellent friend," he had the folly to announce that but for his, the Priest's 'lotions. an %titer Of SAUBIN to NOILBUILY would never have seen the light." The name of Mr. 131/11E11 being thus introduced to the notice of the demagogues, must arrest public at tention. This Gentleman Is a Popish Palest. T. him is the credit due of giving a letter to the public, which was stolen from the writing desk of Mr. SAVaIN. The world knows that no Popish Priest ever had the honour of such intimacy with that Learned Gentleman as to afford him an oppoitniity of a personal theft. There ; fore we acquit this unobtrusive inquisionest, whose glories have so long Pk concealed as the unbar of this n o ble act, of any illiintreer fraud. He has kept his hands from picking anti OCtiliag. But bow did hem, j ~.. ~ r • • • • - 1 ! > 11.4 1 • ....1t V t S . . -., •1 ( ..:. cure the letter? We call epos Mr. O'Cottunt to on.' plain. For surely no Minister of Religion would pros titute his,,sacerdwal functions for political purposes—no Clergynian would arsenic this pions fraud ern tt sinner's conscience—no Popibb Priest would grouiscluz , act of such iniquitous treachery upon the information that he extracted in confession. But the Rev. M'. BURISI is Culled on by the public. voice to pronounce his own innocence. U a servant of Mr. &warn's, during his attendance on his Priest, enu merates his misdemeanours and his sins, it is very im probable that be would recoont among his transgres sions the reading of a letter of his master's. This would appear to him so frivolous, that he would consider its mention derogatory to the dignity of the •Priebt's office. But if, as in duty bound, the Reverend Priest would conceive himself called on to wipe away the least taint of guilt, in kindness he might question the wretched dupe whether his Popish ears or eyes were ever disordered by heretical sounds or visions. The shade of Lord NORBURY immediately passes before his be* ildered sight. He remembers the letter—repeats its contents — and asks forgiveness: but forgiveness can only be protured by an act which could destroy the mischief that such a I document might effect. This would involve the servant is a double crime—treachery and theft. And that such an accumulation of wickedness c uld be placed upon his soul, even by a Popish Priest, we can scarceli credit. But how was the letter procured ?—Answer, the Rev. Mr. &tam—Answer. DANIEL O'Conam., Esq. M.P. But if the supposition be true, that by the Priests?' -influence in confession this letter was stolen (a supposi tion that we unwillingly make until further information) 1 , should such in act speak to Prete tact England? We may disregard the influence of Popery, because being so far removed from the scene where it exults in wickedness, we see not -the mischief nor dread the danger. The argument of expediency that weighs with many, as regards emancipation, is an argument of cowards or of fools. They fear rebellion in Ireland or they see no cause to fear. But thoug h the tee.l tors of rebellion in Ireland are frightful—the terrors of Popish influence in the conduct of our political affairs are more frig) tful. If the efforts of Roman Catholics 'are exerted now, not only for the possession of political power, but avostedly to rear into authority the Mien glories of th. ir Church, will the influence that a Priest exerts in confession fade away, whea the exercise of it will mote speedily consummate his object ? If men Of talent of the Roman Catholic Creed can stand near the ' Throne,and win to themselves the dignities and offices ol the State, will the tuperstitions of Popery—will the love of exclusive privileges—will the intolerent Spirit of bi got' y lose their sway ? will the principle which excludes the Duke of NORPOLIC from the House of Lords, not in- 1 fluence him, it Emancipation passes, when he takes his seat among his Noble brotherhood? And if he be sin cere in his creed, how will his sincerity die when he can vote—and when be can vote, he may be in power, and if he be in power, the Popish Priest still lives with confession, to rob the heart of its secret treasures, and with abs•slution to murder conscience. It may be declared that the lofty mind of a Peer could not stoop to such degradation, or that the march of mind, that now so miraculously presses forward in- banishing folly'and superstition from the-bears, would prevent the occurrence of any danger- from the influence of the Priesthood. But a woman can be a Priest's prey, or a servant may be his dope. And who can say that fools would not reveal secrets or pilfer documents? Who can say that servants would not steal. letters ? If a foreign Power, a Popish one, and at war with Eng land, needed private information, does it require in genuity to learn how it might be procured? A Itimburgh Mail. with Papers to the 20th intt. sullied this morning. The only intelligence they bring is relative to the prices of Grain: HAMBURGH, Dec. le. BUM= HALL, Foos o'Caocx.--Businees has during the last week been exceedingly brisk in the article of wheat, and though the arrivals have been considerable, they Dave nevertheless for the greater part met with ready sale. The itogilsh Mail yesterday having brought intelligence of a decided improvement in the Loodoe market, led to a rise of from 10 to 1S Rik here. There are still many parcels unsold, but the owners ate holding out for high prices. Of lowland wheat also, several parcels have been taken for expoetadon, but on account of our own consumers there have been but few perchasesroade. Rye is firm; some was bought for exportadoe, and a few pur chases were made by our own consumers. Of barley much remains unsold. The sales or Upland made In the beginning of the week for exportation have been replaced by fresh arrivals; but the prices demanded by the holders continue tee high, in the opinion of the buyers. Lanier samples are of heavy sale. In oats there ha, been but little doing; surly fat heavy aomples can purchasers be found, and such samples are seldom seen In the market. Inferior qualities, of which there is an abundant supply, have found gutchasers among our own sonsumers, but at reduced prices. In rapeseed little doing, and the late arrivals nee of ready sale. From the Ist to the latikpeeember inclusive 41 cargoes of corps passed through the Sound; of these 40 were booed to British, one to French, one to Bremen, - sod the rest to Danish and Swedish ports.

By the Dutch Mail we have received St. Peteflints Journals to the 11th inst. and Dutch Papers of Wanes day's date.

Captain AToints states did there was no danger, fir that during the gale the ship was properly managed by her own Officers, of whose conduct he speaks in terms of approbation. These Papers contain an account of a desperate attack made by a body of Turks on a detachment of Russians who were posted in advance of Topra Kale, on tl e high road to E , zereurn. The Twits, after five dif ferent assaults, were finally obliged to retreat with the loss, by the Russian account, of GOO men. The loss of the invading army is reduced as usual, being alto ' gether not more than one hundred killed and wounded. The other intelligence from the theatre of war ate of old dates. The follow ing are extracts: ST. PETERSBURGH, Mc 6. The Jeernol 1 St. &kr:burgh contains a letter from Captain J. H. A'Cuurt to Count Nesselrode, in which he positively con Maim the report (which he had seen in some French Parrs) that the Foreign Ministers who embarked at Varna on board the rantekimon bad been in imminent danger during a tempest, chiefly in consequence of the unskilfulness of the Captain, and that they owed their safety to Captain A'Cuurt, who took on him the manage ment of the skip. All this he says is mere fiction ; the ship was in no danger, and the Captain did every thing that the most skilful Officer could have done fur the safety of the ship. In consequence the Captain ex• presses his admiration of the excellent state of the Black S:a fleet, and the discipline of the crews.

BUCHAREST, Nov. 27. The corps of General Roth, who has the chief command of the Russian troops on the right bank of the Danube; consists of Ili divisions of infantry, one division of cavalry, four regiments of Cossacks, three battalions of pioneers, and a numerous train of artillery. The head quarters are at Varna. The left wing stands beyond Paravadi, the right occupies Czernlvode, behind Train's - Wall. We were long ignorant where the Grand Vizier was with his army; we now know that he is at Adrianople, and is said to be preparing to march against Yarns. Letters from Hirsova of 19th Nov. say, that General Geismar continues to bombard Widdin. The Russians are crossing to the left bank of the Danube, where they intend to begin the blockade of New Hirsova. If the weather does not become mote rigorous Widdin may be besieged, but if it should be more severe, the Danube may be so frozen u to interrupt the communication, and prevent the seeding of supplies to the right bank, as bas beta the ease at Biihtria.—Drtcl► I,7pers, Dec. 24.
