Within period of ten years the number of
Post Offices in the u. States has much more
than doubled, and the extent Of the circuit ira
Yelled by the mails has been increased in nearly
the same proportion. Perhaps history does not
exhibit an instance of so rapid progress made
in any nation in the same period of time which
indeed may be accounted for by the comsidera-
ton that there never has been q nation in which
the general diffusion of informs alton was as ne
cessary to the very existence OF the government
as it is in our Republic. The view which is
here presented exhibits also another interesting
fact that the progressive diffusion of know.
ledge, which may be estimated in the same ra-
ito as that of the Post Office Establishment, is
As rapid again as the increase of the population
of the u. that, in the same period in which
the population of the u. S. encreascs nearly
one third, the diffusion of information is dou-
bled.

ty County, In the 44th year of bis age By
an indisposition holding at defiance all medi-
cal aid, he has been literally confined to his
bed Tor the last two years-sometimes cheer
ed by brilliant but short-lived hone of re.
coverv, but tor the greater part of that peri
od with no other prospect of termination of
ms atiiiction but in the grave Through the
whole OF this sickness he evinced a firmness
unequalled by any thing ever before witness
ed-VVhen the thought of his family crossed
his mind he discovered momentary despond-
ence, but in an instant the gloom was dispell-
ed by calm resignation to the will of Hea-
vcn.-Deep did he drink ofthe bitter cut of
aiil'ctlon-his sufferings are now over, and he
ENJOYS IN the mansions of the good that han
piness he soJustiy deserved to experience on
earth. AS man, he stood pre-eminently
distinguished for those virtues, both public
and private, which adorn and beautifv the
human character-Forh his patriotism, he en-
yoyed the confidence of his country, which he
tor many years represented in the Leeisla-
ture OF this State-For his private virtues, he
was beloved by all who knew him. The
tears OF distressed family and of a hume
rousconnection, the general expression of re-
gfct OF an extensive acquaintance, all speak
IN MS .pralse--He has alas gone-Like the
blooming Hover of spring nipped by an I'M

the earth but not like it to be forgotten

tie, between the Spanish army under the
command of GeReral Blake, and the French
army under Count Suchet. The former was
eventually defeated with the loss of s;r, thou
sand men, The battle lasted seveH hours ;
and, as appears from these details, it was az
braYely contested an engagement, as any
that has been fought during the present war
III Spain. The number of troops engaged on
each side was more than twenty thousand
Several of the principal officers Of the French
army were severely wounded and the COM
mander in chief Count Suchet) received a
ball i'll his shoulder.
The battle was fought at Murviedro, in
the northern part of the province of Valen-
cia. General Blake went to that part of the
province to relieve tho important fortress of
Saguntum, which had been for some time be-
Sleged by the French. On his arrival the
general battle ensued and the morning at
ter his defeat the fortress surrendered. In
the course ofthese disasters, the French made
1000 prisoners. The number of killed and
wounded on the Spanish side is not distinctly
