CHARACTER OF ANDRE.

CHARACTER OF ANDRE.
ybe preceding refutation Of tho charges OF
colonel Tallmadge was sufficient, perhaps,
to po, the subject at rest without the an.
nexed statement affecting major Andre
himself. He Is dead, and his faults ought
to be forgouso. But as the reputation he
obtained (far beyond HE deserts), has aeeo
brought forward to des,aoy that Of other
men, his equals, at leas,, ln hooor ard hon
eHy-we i:el il right to insert the follow
ing, from the PHILADELPHIA True ;1c'erieGn.
Mr.. STILEs,--As colonel Tallnadgc's AZ
tempt in the house Of representatives TO de-
prive Van War and his companions OF the
credit usually bestowed on them for the ar.
rest Of major Andre, has excited considera-
bly,, public attention, perhaps the following
snecdolc, which is derived from the mos, un-
doubted authority, may not be uninteres,ing.
Andre was in Philadephia with the English
army, and was quartered OF the house Of Dr..
Franklin, IN which the doctors furniture and
every valuable library had been left. When
the British were preparing to cvacuate the
city, M dc Simetere, who was an intimate
friend Of Andre, called 10 take leave, and
fousA him busily engaged in packing up and
placing amongst his own baggage, nowber
Of the most valuable books belonging 10 Dr..
franklin. Shocked and surprised at tho pro-
cedure, he told him, in order that he might
bo influenced by the highly homo ablo con.
duct Of gen Kniphauseo, who had been quar-.
tered OF gen. Cadwslladcr's house, that tina,
officer sent for the ascn, Of the latter, gave
him a,l inventory which he had caused his
steward TO make out on his fret taking pos
session told hin, he would lind every thing
in proper ord.r, even TO some bottles OF wine
In the cellar, and paid him rent for the time
he occupied it. Not so with Andre, he qui
city carried of his plunder. / have often
thought his character owes many Of the
beams which play round 1t to the fascination
of Miss. Stewards verse and description, of
which he wss by no means worthy, though
there can be no doabt but he asa gallant
soldier and in some respects an honest man.
'-imetere was a native OF Genoa, who had settled
in PhilaGelphis, and was the person who laid the
foundation OF the valuable museum now belonging
to Mr.. rca'e

In our paper Of Feb. IL, We took notice Of
paragraph which appeared in the Neutors
Mercury, relative TO the expenditures Of the
War Department for i8is. Tho fslsiiy Of
that state ement we endcavored at that tine 10
prove, and the subject has been humorously
handled by tho Delaware Waie1mon. l,
seems the sapient writer In the Mercury
thought II was time TO look about him, and to
"take some trouble" to make himself appear
like fool or something worse. When he
penned his first paragraph, he was either too
ignorant to know, that the fifteen millions hs
spoke OF, (excepting q little above three mil.
lions) was appropriated to pay the expences
OF the late war, which must necessarily nrvAr
through the Wa Department, and pa lily o
which has been paid to this sta,e--or ynee''
ing ths, fact, he was hsse enough for L.
purposes, to attempt to give 1t q far.
improper eoloring BY Official documents
now before Us 1t appears that the expence Of
the War Department for the army IN ielS,
ca year Of pesce," was 8 3,23A,seS 3o---,hs
oiher monies passing through tha, depart.
ment were for war claims. Although ~
have not the mos, exalted opinion Of the tai.
snts or capacity OF ;he Editor Of the Mercury,
We cannot suppose him SO perfectly stupid
and incompetent 40 not to understand this
subject-else why did he lay such stress
on tho circumstance, that II was I" rear Of
peace"--thereby attempting to make ii sp-
pear that the government was incurring enor-
nous expences, for war measures, in q time
OF profound peace. By their reiterating this
unfair statement in their last paper, We arc
left to conclude, that il is miserable attempt
to deceive the homes, and unsuspsc,ing peo-
pie Of this state, with view to prop their
falling cause. But we trust the good people
of this state have TOO much sence 10 DO
duped by such shallow articles. Cunning,
let Ii be ever so we'll wrought will not CEN

The distinguishing characteristics Of the gospel
is the mild benevolent and phIanthropick spirit il
breathes, as well as the opposition il makes to the
depraved inclinatons and the corrupt dispositions
of mankind. PEACE ON EARTH, AND GOOD
WILL TOWARDS NAN, were the first tidings ii an
nounced TO a sinful and benighted world and
the dispositions il manifested fallen and
degraded species, it requires 10 display in our
intercourse with, and our behaviour towards one
another. Unlike AIahomet and other imposiers,
who have held ont TO the sensual appetites and pas
sions of men every encouragement for their gratjf
cation and indulgence, an inducement for en,-
bracng the systems they nculcated, the benevolent
Saviour commands us 10 restrain them, and 10
consider our lives as a state of warfare against
them. II Informs us of the almost insuperabc dii-
fcultes we must encounter, OF The trials we must
surmount and that on our zeal, vigilance, and ac-
tivity in this contest, will depend our welfare IN
another and A future world. These truths are re
peated and ncuicated upon every page of that rev
citation of his will which God OF infinite mercy
and goodness has been pleased to bestow upon
mankind, and the necessity OF attending 10 the
duties il defines, well as the consequences bch

MELANCHOLY.

BY RS. COFFIN.
SHE dwels BY stream, where the cypress and
willow,
Are gem'd with the tears that fall from her
eye;
The earth ia her bed and the fint-stone her
pillow,
Midnight her mantle, her curtain the sky
Her cell isacaye. where the bright beam Of
morning., -,
fse'er pierc'd the chill gloom ofiis wildeiing
msze,
Where the sunshine ofjoy youths vissge ador'

Meier warmd with its fire, or cheer'i with
It's rays.
The moon is her lamp, when the mist mantled

She Chambers at midnight, and walks Ger It's
steep,
Or leans on the rock ola crystalline fountain,
And sghs to the tempest that howls Ger TIE
deep.
Her tresses are dark as the wing otthe ravens
Her robes are all wet, and her bosom Is bare ;
Like bafque on the waves. mid he win L

She wsnders distracted or sinks in despair
