ment il says,
sir the papers is circulating an accoun,
Of Mr.. Crowpinshield's resignation as Sec

worthy gentleman to succeed him. This
may Be well enough from some fto7,!e, and
republican papers may think themselves
justified in repeating il. But zve knox noft-
ing effhis thing, and therefore presume not
TO circulate il. II would be deemed very
rude In regard to some other Secretsries,to
circulate reports e their resignation and to
nominate their successors. When Mr..
Crowninshield giuss nonee Of Its yesigaa-
non, we shall report it, and this is all bonesf
men haze 10 DO with men who are oble 10

However unkind snd cruel this treatment is.

these ceremonies, the Passamo9Eoddies
continued under arms without the esmps

itri in height slsrrnssely hoisted and low

mencement OF the ceremonies, heir priest,
. Roman Catholic, entered the camp, with
book in bis hand, s,iired in white robe
and long scarf. and seated himself next
below the nrst and second chiefs OF the Pc.
nobscoss, Ailieon and Neptune. As soon
as the four officers were constituted, he a.
rose and read in the Latin tongue certain
appropriate passages from the Scriptures
and sxpunnded them in the Indian dialect.
lie then read psalm which he and the ST
Johns men sang: and while in this act Of
devotion, he and the St. Johns men march
cd out Of the camp leaving the Penobscots
and joining the Passamaquoddies, all of
whom standing in circle, sang several
minutes very devouily and tremendously,
and closed with their " re Deuni." Sac
red music being ended the Priest returned
TO his house, and the ST. Johns men re-en
tered the camp, and reiook their seats, fol-
lowed by The Passamaquoddies, who seated
themselves on The same side Immediately
below them. Soon commenced their for
NAL SITUATIONS: The ST. Johns men and
the Passsmaquoddies in their turn, literally
embraced cheek by jole, the four new-made
chiefs and captains, and shook hands with
the rest OF the Penobscots. All spectators
then, by desire, withdrew TO have audience
only at the door or sight through the win.
dows or spertures of the camp. At the
same time some twenty or more OF the ma
live females or principal squaws, fancifully
ornamented with gewgavs, trinke,s and I'm
cry, entered the camp for the FIRST time ,snd
all the three trises and the females, arese
in an cllipsieal circle to dance, in Indian
6le, and ss close together as they could well
stand, they having for music light beat of
the drum, ard vocal tune, all danced around
with kind of hitch or double shuttle TO
their places, the females then leaving the
camp and the tribes re-setting. The war
songs next succeeded. Four of the St
Johns Chiefs severally and successfully a.
rose and ssng short song, somewha, en-
tertaining, which we're duly responded by
others from the new Penobscot chiefs dur
ing which singing all the Indians echoed
kind of s,uhA0xfsrff cultural hetnk euinp an
probation, and the swivel was repeatedly
discharged. Spectators were re-admisted
yoke Of oxen having been slain,were roast.
ing, rice was boiled, and all welcomed to the
repast, served up with more ceremony than
neatness. Though the conduct OF the day
was regular and orderly, and the English
spectators were treated with much a,,en-
ten. yet the evening was spent in savage
glee and rude hilarity.

HORRIBLE SELF Isf.nOLA7YO "

We understand, says the Salem Gazette
OF Tuesday last, that one of the papers
brought in the Bengal, lately arrived there
from Calcutta, contained an account of two
females being recently burnt on the fune-
raj pile Of their deceased husband, near
Calcutta. The British government, i, is said,
inserftred to prevent it but finally com.
promise was made, that no force, or binding
OF the limbs, should be used, but that the
women should, after the fire was kindled
be left to their own free viii. The conse-
quencc was, that the elder first threw her
self into the flames and afterwards the
younger, about II years of age applauding
the conduct of the other, followed her hor-
rible example, and the bodies Of husband
and wives we're consumed together amidst
crowds Of their fellow beings!
