A DUTCH SERMON.--The following admi-
rable production, delivered before a company of volunteer
soldiers, during our revolutionary struggle, upon the eve
of their going " forth to glorious war," was calculated to
inspire them with more than Herculean strength and cou-
rage :—" Mine frinds, ven first you corned here, you was
boor, and now, frients, you is prout ; and yous gotten on
your unicorns, and dem wits you like a longs upon a hog's
pack : now mine frients let me dell you dis, a man is a
man if he's no bigger as my dumb. Ven Tavid vent out
to fight vid Gollob, he took noting rid him but one sling;
now don't mistake me, mine frients ; it was not a rum
sling ; no, nor a gin sling ; no, nor a mint-voter sling ;
no, it was a sling mate vit an hickery sthick. Now ven
Goliah sees Tavid coming, lie says, you little dampt scoun-
drel, does you come to vight me ? I will give you to the
pints of the felt, and de peasts of the air.' Tavid says,
Goliah, tJoliah, the race ish not always wit the shwift,
nor ish the battle wit the strong, and man is a man if no's
pigger as my dumb.' So Tavid lie fixes sthone in his
sling, and he drown it at Goliah, ant knocks him right in
the vorehearl, and den Tavid takes Gaoler] swort, and
cuts off his heat—and den all the pretty caals comes out,
and strewed flowers in his way, and sung, ' Saul is a crcat
man, for he has kilt his dousands, put Tavid is creater as
he, vor he has kilt Goliah.' Now, mine frierts, when
you coes out to vight with the tampt British, remember vat
I dell you, slat a man is a man, if he's no pigger as my
damb."...Neau York Paper.

PoaTsMoUTH, JUNE 9.—The followiug extracts from
an interesting letter which we have received from Rio Ja-
neiro, contain later intelligence from the Brazils and the
South Pacific, than any yet published :
" Rio JANEIRO, APRIL 9.—We have just received ac-
counts from Coquimbo, of the 9th of February, which state
that a revolution had taken place in the Government of
St. Jago de Chile ; that the existing Ministry, when in
Audience, were suddenly dragged from their Constitutional
chairs, by a guard of soldiers, and, at the point of the
bayonet, were placed tinder arrest. Friere, the former Go-
vernor, hearing of this proceeding from behind the curtain
(as it were), and who could, front his popularity with the
Army, command, with certainty, its entire obedience, as
suddenly surrounded this new junta, seized the whole body,
and threw them into prison, reinstating, at the same mo-
ment, the former Constitutional body.
" A short time previous to the departure of the Cam-
bridge from Callao, Admiral Guise (formerly a Comman-
der in the British service), who had been so long and un-
justly kept under arrest by the Government of Peru, un-
' dement his trial by Court Martial, and after the fullest in-
vestigation of his conduct, was acquitted of all the charges
brought against him, reinstated in his former rank as Ad-
miral and Commander-in-Chief of the Peruvian Navy, and
awarded all his arrears of pay, prize-money, &c. ; an event
which gave universal satisfaction to all classes, and on which
occasion he received the usual salutes of honour in such
cases front all flags.
" The fortress of Callao, which used to be a scene of so
much interest to us and misery to others, and on which
were mounted upwards of 150 guns, has now become the
Custom-house of the Port, instead of at Lima, and all the
cannon dismounted, except a few pieces for general salutes.
Trade was very dull—and heavy complaints from the mer-
chants at Lima and Callao. The most active people there
appeared to be the French, with their bad wines, gew-gaws,
and lace, with which they too successfully gulled the fan-
tastical Limanians.

" Of the Mines, those in the Sierro Pasco, in Lower
Peru, belonging to private individuals, were yielding im-
mense quantities of rich ore, and promised to continue to do
so.—The failures in most cases originated more from want
of funds than from any poverty of the mines.
" In Chili, there are but few working with much ad-
vantage. Two in the Province of Coquimbo, belonging
to Mr. Pinto, the Civil Governor, and four others, and
Mr. Edwards, a British merchant, were very rich ; that
of the former having yielded, to his share only, 20,000
dollars in the short space of six months, and appeared to
increase in richness. The other was proportionably good,
and gave every promise of its future wealth to its owner.
" A variety of specimens, the productions of these
Mines, are sent home in the Cambridge ; as also a fine
collection of plants, among which are several beautiful
dwarf species of the Cactus, from the Cordillera of Chili,
and the splendid Auraucanian Pine, in the fullest vigour
and fine condition. Several of these plants are intended
for the Horticultural Society, and many for private indi-
viduals.
" The Ganges, 84• (lying here), Rear-Admiral Sir R.
W. Otway, is preparing to sail for the river Plata ; the
Forte is gone on a short cruise off Cape Frio, for the bene-
fit of the health of the Hon. Mr. Gordon, our Charge
d'Affaires at the Court of Brazil ; the Heron has sailed for
Bahia and Pernambuco ; the Ranger is at Monte Video,
but she is to go round the Horn, and to be relieved by the
Forte. The Brazilian squadron are fitting for:the purpose
of conveying reinforcements to their army and navy at
Monte Video and in the river Plate, to accomplish which
even British subjects are seized, and sent on board the
Brazilian ships of war. Those who are so fortunate as to
get their cases laid before the Commander-in-Chief or our
Charge d'Affaires have obtained their release, but there are
some whose fate it is to have to go without having the
power of making known their situation."—Hampshire

'ME ORPHAN'S CRY, AND WIDOW'S PRAYER

SUPPLICATORY LINES,

Addressed to the Marquis of Hastings, previous to his leaving
Bengal in 1523, from the Calcutta Newspapers.
" Ere thy benignant power retires
From India, bless'd beneath thy care,
0 ! quench these foul unhallow'd fires,

Which hell's own flame has kindled there,
The stains of earth and upper air !
Then o'er the sea,
The orphan's blessing and the widow's prayer
Shall follow thee.
0 ne'er to man has pitying Heaven
A power so blest, so glorious given,
Say but a single word and save
Ten thousand mothers from a flaming grave,
And tens of thousands from the source of woe,
That ever must to orphan'd children flow !
Save from the flame the infants' place of rest—
The couch by nature given—a mother's breast;
0 bid the mother live—the babe caress her,
And, sweeter still, its hoping accents bless her.
India, with tearful eye and bended knee,
Hastings, her lord and judge, presents her plaint to thee."
The importance of petitioning Parliament to suppress
the murder of Hindu() women is evinced by the fact that
the late Marquis of Hastings said, he would at once have
put down the atrocious practice, if he could have relied
on the popular feeling hieing in his favour in our own
country, and that the danger was felt not in India, but
only in Enyland ! !"

KEEPING DOWN THE IRlSlL—Keeping
down the Irish may be very agreeable work, but that con-
siderable expense attends the operation, is to be collected
from an account lately presented to Parliament. This do-
cument is a return of the number of troops employed in
Ireland during the years 87, 88, 89-97, 98, and 99, re-
spectively. The greatest number of troops employed in
any one of the first three years, was 9,568, which were
supported at an expense little exceeding half a million an-
nually,. In 99, however, the effective bayonets reached to
the enormous number of 114,052, and the expense to
which they subjected the nation, in a single year, wl.s
3,849,338/. ! ! !—Dublin Morning Register.

TURKISH LOVE AND REVENGE.--We
have the following from Zante :—Captain Papadopoulo,
serving under the bawler of General Sissinee, souse months
ago killed Deli Ahmet, a Chief of the Turkish Cavalry, at
Patras, who had burnt the villages in the environs of that
fortress, and devastated the province of Elis. Papado-
poulo, who could not enjoy tranquillity as long as he lived,
because be had in the beginning of the Greek Revolution,
~,Tied off from Deli a beautiful Turkish maid, his cousin
and admired fair one, laid an ambuscade for him, in the
forest Drosele, arid thus succeeded in delivering his country
from the presence of this ferocious enemy. The forest of
Drosele is situated in Elide, near the city of Pisa, where
the ancient Greeks used to celebrate the Olympic Games.
—The people of the country have for time immemorial re-
garded this wood as sacred, and even the Turks themselves
abstained from cutting it, so that the oaks there have
grown to such a size, that four %nen could scarcely embrace
their trunk, and their summits reach the skies. The pea-
sants of the country pretend that they have been in the
habit of hearing daily lugubrious moans and inarticulate
voices, like those of a choir of women, who, after the pre-
sent Greek fashion, lament in a kind of melancholy, yet
enrapturing melody, their departed friends. Travellers,
too, record the same fact. There are several such places
in Greece, where the people pretend that they hear diffe-
rent voices, and respecting which the peasantry have
always some marvellous story to tell. But at present all
those living in the vicinity of this 'wood, declare that
since the death of Deli Ahmet, and his numerous suite, the
sounds are no longer audible. Hence a thousand explana-
tions are given according to the imaginations of the dif-
ferent inhabitants- Some say the nymphs (which the
Greeks denominate belles, answering to our idea of Fay),
satisfied with the extermination of the barbarians who in-
fested these places, have ceased to lament the captivity of
their beautiful country ; while others will have it, that the
manes of those who, in the first invasion, took refuge here
to avoid captivity and died, aroused by the heroic deeds of
their descendants in avenging them, have at length quitted
this dreary retreat, and now fly about mountains and hills,
animating the courage of their children, and seconding the
brave arms of the defenders of liberty. This latter hypo.
thesis has been very well handled in modern Greek by a
young poet of Zante; and for sonic days past nothing has
been heard sung but his verses full of patriotism and splen-
did imagery. The Olympic votaries of every city are
roused, and, by reminding the Greeks of their ancient
glory, summon them to the field of battle.

The APOCALYPSE 4! , a Wiest
Interpretation, bse
pp. ) 470. • . • 44 7,7:3 s,
Mr. Croly has displayed the" versa roPfeiiility
of his mind in almost every department of Lite-
rature. He has edited Reviews, contributed to
Magazines, penned theatrical criticisms for News-
papers, published poems, tragedies, comedies,
(we believe even pantomimes) and thus admi-
rably qualified for a divinity-scholar, has now
stepped forward to settle the most abstruse point
that ever puzzled the brains of Divines, from
Vitringa to Lowth. He has discovered that the
Apocalypse has hitherto been shamefully misin-
terpreted ; that all former theologians, no matter
how shrewd on other subjects, have been inva-
riably stupid on this, and that therefore it is
highly requisite for him to step forward and con-
trast their dulness with his brilliancy. How far
his acquaintance with the stage may have contri-
buted to improve his divinity, we cannot say : at any
rate there is a great deal of Farce in the present
experiment ; and, as for its interpretation, we
are inclined to think that Mr. Croly is not ex-
actly a conjuror in that respect. Davits est non
adipus. He sets out with assuring us that
44 no prophecy can be accurately. interpreted un-
til it is either past, or on the point of being ful-
filled ;" the first of which notions compels him to
refer the Apocalyptical predictions to certain
by-gone events, with which they have as much
affinity as a Goat with Compasses, in the sign of
a village inn ; and the second, to throw himself
into the arms of Mr. Irving and the Millenarians.
His great object seems to be, to prove, first,
that the French Revolution—secondly, that the
Millenium, " whose catastrophe is not far dis-
tant"—are the two incidents chiefly specified and
predicted in the Apocalypse. To apply the
Revolution, he is compelled to bring it down to
the overthrow of Napoleon (whom he has found
out to be Apollyon, because the names are so
alike,) otherwise there would not be even the
shadow of a connection between the prediction
and its application. The prophet says " and
after these things I saw four angels standing on
the four corners of the earth, &c. and the four
angels were loosed which were prepared, for an
hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for
to slay the third part of men." Now, to whom
does the reader suppose Mr. Croly has referred
these four angels ? Why, to the four great
monarchs, " agents," as he calls them, of the
overthrow of the Napoleon dynasty ; to wit, the
King of England, the Emperors of Austria and
Russia, and the King of Prussia. What a pity
he could not have contrived to hedge in Fer-
dinand of Spain among the number ! his ange-
lic properties are indisputable. It is not our in-
tention to enter into minute detail upon the sub-
ject of Mr. Croly's interpretations ; suffice to say
that the French Revolution is his leading bug-
bear ; to this he refers the chief prophecies of the
Revelations : and as it is necessary in every pretty
story-book to have one or two leading heroes or
heroines, Napoleon and the Pope are the heroes
of the present theological romance. Napoleon, in
particular, is the Schedoni, the Melmoth of the
tale ; other sapient writers have made him out a
Nero, a Domitian, a Caligula, a Jenkis Khan, a
Tamerlane, and a Caesar ; it remained for Mr.
Croly to discover, that he is no less than the
Devil himself : the Antichrist foretold in the
Apocalypse, le veritable Amphitryon. He
adds, with infinite charity, that " he was
a scoffer at all Religion, and in the proud-
est supremacy of the sword, still loved
the dungeon and the dagger." This is a
wanton, monstrous, and unwarrantable assump-
tion. Napoleon was no such thing ; he certainly
did not write interpretations of the Apocalypse,
nor did he, in the course of those interpretations,
apply the somewhat irreverent word " fasciculus"
(vide page 68) to the predictions ; but if the ab-
sence of this constitute Atheism, we ourselves
are Athiests. We should have observed, in
speaking of the " four Angels," that, supposing
their application to the Holy Alliance correct,
Mr. Canning must be something very laugh-
ably the reverse, for his policy has always
been to cripple the power of the aforesaid cherubs.
To return, in speaking incidentally of Italy,
under the regime of Napoleon, Mr. Croly oh-
serves, 44 the city and the states were delivered
up to a long series of the deepest insults, requi-
sitions, military murders, and the general injury
and degradation of the feelings and property of
all classes of the people." If such (which we
deny) was the case with Italy under Napoleon,
in what state is she now under Austria ? Has
she not exchanged King Stork for King Log ?
Does not the Austrian lord it in her palaces ?
Is Venice free, is even her air untaxed ? Ler
Mr. Croly consult but two of our countless
modern tourists, and he will then find, that
compared with the present despotism, the
tyranny of Napoleon was freedom. Alluding to
the destruction of this last (whom he has some-
how contrived to mix up with Catholicism), Mr.
Croly observes—" yet the overthrow of too
Empire worked no reform in the ancient corrupt
religion." Why should it ? it was not a war of
religion, it was a crusade against an obnossious
individual—against Napoleon; and many of those
who joined it, were themselves Catholics. Ira
reverting to his hobby, the Revolution, our
Historian writes as follows :
" A sketch divested of the prejudices of both sides shall
now he given."
He then goes on to describe the Republic in
the following very unprejudiced style :
TIIE REPUBLIC.-The corruption of religion ia
France had produced corruption of morals. From this
corruption had gradually arisen contempt of all rule and alt
religion. A burst of popular ',lca swept away the Go-
vernment, the Throne was sacrificed, the religion was ab-
jured. The national spirit rose in desperate hostility
against universal Etrope. Abroad a succession of we:'-,
wasted the Continent. At home, an unbroken continuance
of horrid slaughters consumed the nation. Life was of
all things the most ins.-lcure. Atrocious tyranny was the:
spirit of the Government, unequalled misery the portio:,
of the people."
We have given these three specimens of Mr.
Croly's historical correctness, because they show
how inapplicable are his theories, unless he dis-
torts fact to confirm them. He labors to show
that the French Revolution, and the approaching
fall of Papacy, arc both shadowed forth in the
Apocalypse. Of the latter me have nothing to
say ; with respect to the former we shall merely
repeat that Mr. Croly can only make good his
argument when he misdirects the stream of
history. With the exception, of these blemishes
his book deserves considerable praise. It is re-
plete with ingenuity, eloquence, and learning
and the various little sketches of history with
which it al: punch, are painted with all the skill
and adroitness of a master.

FAT AND LEAN.—An Irishman kept a pig ;
his neighbours were every other day most delightfully
amused with the con'tant sonorous music of his swinish
charge. On being asked to account for the alternate corn..
plaints and stillness of the pigs, he said, "one day I g;re
the brute as much as he can eat, and the nExt he fasts to
be sure—for indeed I'm very food of pork-that has a atrake
fat and a wake o' leu.*
