ness of man, and who can read the history of his
lie and not she'd tear to his memory Major
Broske was on his way to Bath county, to make
sale of piece of Land which had been secured
TO him by laborious eXerton of his professional
talents Being a surveyor Of great reputation, he
was employed in the year 1907 by a Mr. Beverly,
to survey large tract of land in the said county,
whereof n certain portion was to rcmunerate him
Tor his services. Having large family to pro-
vide for, and every other avenue of comfort and
convenience being shut to him from long Sc.
rles OF misfo tunes, he had set out to dispose of
TINS property. His innocence, his amiabe and
manly soul would not suffer him to arm himself
against his fellow men in his native state 1t was
ABOUT the close OF the evening of the 18th that
nc was attacked near Hydcs Tavern in Orange
county, by aman supposed to be named Bledsoe
whose Intention IT seems, was both to kill and
rob him he WAS thrown from Ms horse bv the
assassin who never left him till he supposed him
dead, both bones of his right leg were broken,
ms ANGLE strained and his lett shoulder put ont of

Hume, Or the still more glowing nerve ola Taci-
'us: He was SO tender of his family, so steady
and aifectioiate in his friendships, SO pacific. so
harmonious, and so benevolent in his interc curse
with all mankind, that every heart vibratcs with
responsive chord at the news of this awful ca
tastrophe. Major Brooke had The benefit of a
liberal education, and had devoted much of hi,
time in his youth to the study of the dead Ian.
guages, which always afforded hin prolific
source or intellectual amusement. For several
years ofhis life he followed tho profession of a
schoolmaster, and many instances of his talents
are stamped on the hearts of his pupils. He has
gone and no monumental marble tells where he
lies, but his memory will long continue to survive
IN the bosoms of his numerous friends and ac
quaintances He has left five children to lament
his loss.

Letter from mr.. Pinkney to Mr.. Madison,
"SIR,
had an interview this morning with
MIR. Canning, at his own request. One OBJ
JeCtof the interview related to tie message
OF the president, of 27th of October last. of
which a newspaper copy had been received
from MIR. Erskine. A call for a copy of this
message vas expected in Parliament, and
Mr.. {. wished tobc in a situation to produce

newspaper copy will be considered sufici-

upon the duty proposed to be laid in conse-
quence 81 their late blockading orders, upon
cotton intended for re expectation to eremy
ports upon the continent. The very few oc-
c%asloHai remarks which I had made upon
TINS SUBJECT at our last interview, (aiready
mentioned III my letter Of the u.t.) had
led him to suppose that it was only to- this
mode OF excluding our cotton from France
that the United States would be likely to OBJ
Ject. And If their object could be accom-.
plished IN another" way, the measure would
cease 20 DC offensive. Having admitted
(what indeed was suiicienUv obvious beforc)
that the looked TO the intended duty upoi,

that II IT would be more acceptable to the u.
States that the form OF the proceeding should

cottoa from the continent 20 the mere effect

feelings and wishes, in whatever did not en-
