DEPARTURE OF THE OWYHEE CHIEFS.

The two young Chiefs from Owyhee, who arrived in thisine-
tropolis some months back, left this country on Monday se'n-
night in the ship Fame, bound for Port Jackson, from whence
a passage home will he endeavoured to be procured for them in
some of the vessels that trade periodically to the South Sea
Islands. A few particulars of their life and treatment whilst in '

this metropolis will nut be uninteresting to those who read, and
who remember, the particulars of the romantic adventures of the
two unfortunate warriors; of their having been taken up by an
American ship whilst at sea upon a fishing extursion ; of their
having been captured by Spaniards from the Americans and sent
as slaves to the mines; and of their escape to an English vessel,
in which they work:. d their passage to this country, and were
turned on shore destitute at Warping. The subscription raised
in behalf of the unfortunate Chiefs, under the auspices of
the late Loin BIATOZ, was such as would have refitted and
procured them a passag.: home, and it would have been most
munificent, but for an impression upon the public mind, that
something would be done for them by the Gov...rnment, or by
some of the Niseionary Societiet. Application was made to se-
veral quarters in their behalf, but without effect, and it was de-
signed to have sent them home, as they wished, by the best con-
veyance, but that several individuals, who take an active lead in
Bible and other Societies fur the promotion of Christian know-
ledge, came forward and undertook to manage the subscriptions
which had, or might be raised for their benefit and also to procure
them religioris instruction. With these laudable views the na-
tives were taken from the house of Air. Tudgay, the publican,
who sheltered them when they were turned on shore destitute,
and they were consigned to the care of a person residing at Ken-
singtou, who once kept a school. Beyond the knowledge of
writing, however, and a slight notion of reading English, the two
Chiefs, we fear, will return hut little better than they came.—
We are of opinion that in the useful arts they would have be-
come very proficient during their stay, had they ben placed in
.the hands of competent persons, and that with proper instruc-
tion they might have been made eminently serviceable in forward-
ing the civilization of their countrymen.

The Human Hair is an invaluable gift of Nature;
it serves as an elegant covering to the head, and enhances the

FRENCH PAPERS

AVOSBURGH, MARCH 30.
We have received news from Constantinople, atO.
flouncing that M. de Latour Maubourg, the French
•.....Ainbaytador, has received a verbal promise of the sa-
-tisfaction which he had demanded with much dignity
and energy, for the insults offered to the French Con-
maw Agents, by the Turkish Commanders-in-Chief
in Syria and Cyprus, as well as for the excesses and
cruelties. committed towards Christians of the coun-
tries of the west, who are under the protection of
France ; but his Excellency demands a promise in
writing.- The subjects are, however, treated with
much respect, as well at Constantinople as in the
other parts of Turkey. There is even reason to hope
that the losses the French merchants have sustained
for some years past in the Levant will be made good.
NUREMBERG, MARCH 31.
=TRACT PROM A PRIYAtR CORIMAJPONDENCIL
It is asserted that the Court of Vienna will notify
to the great Powers, that in consequence of the little
success of the negotiations which it had carried on at
Constantinople, it has ceased to be mediator in the
differences between Russia and Turkey, reserving to
itself the faculty of taking such measures as circum-
stances may require.
Letters from Constantinople say that the Grand
Vizier will immediately go to Adrianople, there to
act as Generalissimo of the Ottoman armies.
A report (which needs confirmation) was in circu-
lation yesterday, that some warm skirmishes had
already taken place on the Pruth, between the Rus-
sian and Ottoman corps. More certain information
is impatiently expected.
We learn from Warsaw, that a considerable corps
of Polish cavalry is to march to Lithuania. The
Commander-in-Chief of these troops will have his
head-quaffters at Wilna.
The- Officers of different European nations, who
joined the Greeks, have introduced among them
European tactics; the artillery, in particular, has
been considerably improved.
The number of Ottoman troops cantoned in Mol-
davia and Wallachia, is estimated at 150,000 men,
chiefly Asiatics.
A report is current, that the Russian agent at Te-
heran has succeeded in concluding an offensive and
defensive alliance with Persia ; and it is even affirmed
that a secret article of the treaty assures to the Schah
the possession of Armenia, as soon as the Turks shall
be expelled from it. if this important news is con-
firmed, it is supposed that the English resident, who
has employed all his efforts to counteract the negoci-
ations of the Russian agent, will quit Teheran, where
his presence would henceforward be of no advantage
to the interests of his Government.
MADRID, MARCH 27.
A duel has taken place this day between General
Quiroga and Ex-Deputy Moreno Guerra. It appears
that the latter had insulted the General, in several
letters which he had addressed to him. Only one of
the pistols was loaded : on drawing lots, chance put
it into the hands of Quiroga, who discharged it in the
air.—Gazette de France.

ODES.SA, MARCH 12.

The Porte has published no account of the nego-
tiations with the Court of Teheran; but the Arme-
nians living at Constantinople assert, that Persia
would not make peace but on certain conditions, one
of which is the cession of Armenia. If the Court of
Teheran persists in its demand, peace will be impos-
sible. The principal hope of the Pone is in the in-
fluence of the English Resident at Teheran, who has
again offered his mediation for terminating the dif-
ferences between the two Powers ; but the influence
of this agent is neutralized by that of an agent of
another great Power, who is listened to with more
attention. We expect that hostilities will recom•
rnence in the spring. The two armies have not
charged their position during the winter.
EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER.
" Pmus, Aram 3.

" There is no public event here of any great importance, ex-
c:pt a fall in the funds of nearly three francs, in the course of a
few days. This has been generally attributed to the commence-
ment of hostilities between the Turks and Russians, certain in-
telligence of which, it is said, has arrived here ; but others seem
to.think it is partly owing to causes nearer home. The Ultra
party are pushing forward so undisguisedly towards their ulti-
mate object, that people are at length beginning to be seriously
alarmed. This party have got the secret springs of power so
completely in their hands, that they threaten to dismiss some of
the highest functionaries for a mere bon Mi. M. Semonville,
who is said to be the second Talleyrand of France, both as to
conscience and wit, in talking lately of the presumptive successor
to a certain Illustrions Personage, said, Ii exempts sun nese (he
is discounting his reign). This expression, so perfectly just,
soon reached the ears of the person alluded to, and produced
great anger and indignation. It is thought these four words
will cost M. Semonville very dear, as it is expected he will lose
his place of Grand liVerendaire of the Chamber of Peers, the
emoluments of which are a hundred thousand francs a-year, and
a-very-handsome apartment at the little Luxembourg. It has
been promised to the Duke de Levjo by one of the divisions of
the Ultra party, and to M. Than by the other.
" Messrs. Corbiere and Benito* have been severely r►buked
for the bad habit they have got of so frequently quoting Voltaire
but this is a failing that it will be impossible for 1111. Wm* to
cure himself of, unless he is satisfied to be altogether silent ; for,
having risen from a very obscure rank, and having received se
early education, when he got up in the world he endeavoured te
snake a short cut to knowledge, by getting Voltaire, works, or
as much of them as was possible, by heart. In this basilica:viol
to a miracle, as be is endowed with a very extraordinary use-
=ors.. From this circumstance it continually happens. thit,
in the midst of a desultory conversation, he will pour you out
a doyen eloquent sentences, or rounded periods, which rise, like
the Alps, above the otherwise dull flat of his discourse. But
dime bigh-sounding phrases are to be found, word for word, in
oink a chapter and page of Voltaire. Since he has been made
Minister be has been completely puzzled, and even nonplused,
for he has been expressly forbid to cite Voltaire. At every in
stunt be commences an eloquent sentence, but stops short in the
recollecting to whom it belongs ; and, as he has no mate-
, his own, bis discourses are thus made up of unfinished
and ends. He has been so entirely paralysed by this mfrs
interdiction, that he has exaggerated a very slight attack
gout, for the purpose of encasing himself from appearing
Tribune during the discussion on the Budget."
