foolish women, and has actually sent_ an eminent Paris

TME GERMAN GOT.ERNMENTS ANI),TEiE PAPAL HIER-
AEgiiT.—The conflict between the Archbishop of Frieburg
and the government of Baden is assuming an aggravated
character. Riots ham taken place in Baden for the rescue i
of the priests arrested by the order of the government, and
a number of ecclesiastics have been placed under arrest.
The Romish Bishops in other parts of Germany are causing
pastorals in support of the claims of the papacy, and ite
opposition to flip civil power to be read from the pulpits.
The Archbishop of Posen, the Bishops of Mayence, Lim-
burg, and Rotlienburg, and all the Austrian Bishops have.
declared themselves. The government of Baden has issued
a decree for the expulsion of the Jesuits within ten days.
Apt A3IERICA.N LOVE TRAGEDY.--A melancholy affair
occurred in this county abouVeight miles from the city, on
the Bardstown,turnpike, on Saturday morning. A man
named Christian G. Martin had been teaching school. there,
and engaged himself to. Miss Emily Shaw, also, a teacher,
whose parents resided there. Martin had, in fact, obtained
the marriage license. Afterwards he concluded not to
marry her, and to screen himself from the consequences
presented a paper to her for signature in which she was
charged with having exercised the grossest improprieties.

He died in about fifteen minutes, though it was thought
that the first wound would have caused his death.—Louis-

THE BOYS' DUEL—Two boys, named Dubignon and
Males, one of them 14 years of age, and the other only 11,
were tried by the tribunal of correctional police, on a
charge of stealing a brace of pistols from a stall on the
quay. It was shown by the evidence and the confession of
the prisoners that they had quarrelled at marbles, and
had resolved, in imitation of older but not wiser persons,
to fight a duel. Vehig without. arras, 13,owever, they could

A LONE NVOSIAN.—The Placer rigretr,. a Californian
newspaper, contains an extraordinary story of an Indian
woman who has lived alone for eighteen, years on the
island of San Nicholas-, one of a cluster in; the Pacific,
some leagues off Santa Barbara : —"About the year 1824
or 1825, nearly alf the• men of this island were'murdered
by a Russian ship3s4 crew. Ten years artettrards the
remainder of the inhabitants, being desirous of- deserting
the island, were talien: on board a small schooner for
that purpose. After they had all got on board, onn'of the
Indian women discovoed3that her child was missing,.and
asked permission to go onshore and look for it. Al.gale
sprung up and the schooner' was driven away. About
three months afterwards,- it is said, the schooner again
touched at the island to bring her away ; but she ettdd.
net be found. Since that tirne,•her foot-prints have een.
occasionally seen on the slssrtc and. other indications nit'
With)sikwing, that she still existed. Recently, an Ar.ileri.4-
can resident of Santa Barber* engaged in Otter-hunting;

along- the beach, to his great astonishment, he suddenly
came upon, this woman. She, warengagal in cleaning or

a covering,. and in a garment of. which she was then
dressed;• She did not manifest much surprise at seeing
him, and readily assented to his pooppsitiou to leave the
island; of which she had been the sole- inhabitant since
1834. Among- the articles she brottn4A. along with her
from the island were several neectegk with which she
sewed the birdS? skins together. These.utedka are beau-
tifully made offish-bones, and shew a-superior degree of

SC'HAMYL, WER..C,TRE2tSSIAN C_ITZEF.

Tiar French CO3ektitationnegives the followinint,

eating account of Sehaniyl, the: celebrated Circassian chief,
whose recent appearance in the plains of Geora, and
victory over the Russians, wc.mentioned last week;--
"-Schamyl has-,been often- compared to Abd-al,Kader,
and there is, in fact, some• analogy between the two-
leaders. Both.. arrived at the chief commani by the
prestige of then religious inspiration, more even than by
their courage and, persenat: ability. Both have had for
object the enfranchisement of their race, and the fusion
of the tribes which compose it, wider the authority of
their sole chief, But Abdel-Kader was only hadji, and
he was obligod.to borrow from civilisation a part of his
resources to.maintain himself so long. Sekonyl aimed
higher ; he ad himself upae a second prophet. of Islamism ;
he declared-liimself sent by God to complete the work of
Mahomet, and particularly to fuse into onethe two great
divisions of, Omar and Ali : he persuaded his followers
that Allah.dictated to him his will in periodical visions, and
in that way he succeeded in creating around him an indo-
mitable and, deveted bod,y of troops, whose blind obedience
does nokg,ive way before any danger, arid whose religious.
enthusiiism is capable. of the greatest, efforts. Schamyl,
is at present fifty-six,years of age. He is a man of misldle '
size, but of a determined appearance,. His private life
resembles that of Abd-el-Kader, heinsober and austere,
and divided between prayer and action. His career as a
warrior began 1834. His predecessors in the, war
were;, first, Scheick-Mausour, then, Khasi MolLsh, and
then,Hainsal Bo The death of this last gave. him, at
the.age of thirty-seven, the supreme authority over the
Massulinan tribes of the Caucasus 4 and then began that
struggle of twenty years, which has already cost Russia
more than; the subjugation of Poland. It would be, wrong,
however, to look on Schamyl as. the uncontested leader of
all the tribes of the Caucasus. That chain of mountains
separating Europe from Asia, between the Black Sea and
the Caspian Sea, is itself cut into two parts. by the narrow
pass_ of Darien, through which winds the military road
from Musdok to Tiflis. Tothe right of that pass, coming
from. Russia to the Caspian Sea, extends, the real empire
of Schamyl, inhabited by Tehetchens.. On the left, to
the, Black Sea, the tribes-, known by the- generic name of
Tcherkesses (Circassians) do not recognise his authority,
and are not even at open war with Russia. Only, as the
national hatred and the religious creeds of these two fac-
tions of the Caucasus are nearly the same, it is easy to
comprehend that, if circumstances favoured a general.
rising, the Sultan and the Prophet of the Daghestan would
soon become the Sultan and Prophet of all the Circassian
districts, and in that case the fine provinces of Georgia,.
and of Imertia, left without communication with Europe,
might very easily pay Turkey the cost of the impious war
now stirred. up against her. As to tte incidents of the
war between Schamyl and the Russians, they are but little
known. The Muscovite policy is to conceal its internal
wounds,. and to allow Europe to hear only the bulletins of
victory, often without foundation. But there are certain
details and certain results which always in the end come
to light. The war of the Caucasus has lasted for fifty-
three years, and has worn out the ablest generals of Rus-
sia—Zizianod, Yermoloff, Grablee, Sass, Neidharf, Rosen,
and Paskiewich ; it has destroyed her best troops, and
has become a complete object of dread for the regiments
sent in that direction. It has cost immense sums to the
Russian empire ; and notwithstanding all the efforts made,
it is at present so little advanced that the General-in-Chief,
PrinceWoronzoff does not consider himself safe in hispalace
at Tiflis, and asks for 120,000 men from his Government to
maintain himself in Georgia. The Prince, still Gover-
nor-General of the Caucasus, if caught between tl -
men of Schamyl and the regular troops of

Le horse-

would find himself in a very en. Falposj

man_Empire has three fleets on the Black Sea, to keep in

check the two squadrons of Russia. It is known
already that amunition•and officers have been sent by the
Porte to Schamyl. Should hostilities commence, the
Tcherkesses could not resist following in the wake of
their co-religionists, and yielding to the prestige of their
leader, and in that case there would, perhaps, commence
for the Government of St. Petersburgh, one of those
expiations of Providence which avenge the public feeling.
The Caucasus; besides, has nothing to gain in civilization
by its connexion with Russia. There will always be more

true liberty, more justice, and more enlightened reforms
on the side of the young sovereign who protects equally
all religions, and who carries out the promises of Gulhane,
than on the side of the autocrat, who has never respected
the independence and nationality of the nations in the
Nlcinity of his va4t. empirek"
