Gle race, are already in possession Of
a translation of the New Testament !;
but know only so much of the Old. as
may be CLEANED from History of the BIZ

therefore, resolved to translate and prip.
several of the most important books Of
the Old Testaments for their use. had
conversation on the subject With the
venerable Bishop Fabricius, superin-
tendant of the Greenland Missions,
when we agreed to commence with
Genesis, the Psalms, and the Prophet

the translation into that difficult IAN

Extract of "a private letter of the 9th

cha has sailed from the Dardanelles, and
joined the Algerine and Egyptian squad
rons. He is now cruising between Scio,
Mitylene, and Tenedos. The Greeks
are making all the preparations in their
power to defetd themselves. II is said
that the Capt. Pacha has made them of
fers of amnesty by Capt. Hamilton of
the British Fngate Cambrian, but very
little hope of It's being accepted is en-
tertaiued. tits said that the women of
Samos and Hydra have taken up arms,
and sworn to die rather than submit to
slavery"

From the Franklin Gazette

+" Has not Mr.. Crawford long known,
and have not his friends long known,
that the confidence Of the President was
withdrawn from him? Have they not
perceived, from the conduct of Mr.
Monroe, that Mr.. Crawford is only re-
tanned from motives of delicacy. arising
from the peculiar circumstances which
exist and from an apprehension that his
removal might be construed into an eff
fort to destroy his prospects in the pres
idential controversy And has not Mr..
Crawford, 10 violation of every es,ab-
lished rule, and 10 contempt Of The re.
spect he owes himself, continued to sit
in the Cabinet, disregarded counsellor,
rather than permit The treasury infu-
ence, so essential an engine for the pro-
motion of his plans, to escape his grasp?
We boldly assert that to all these ques-
lions, the answer is affirmative and Of
course, that the fact of his remaining
member of the cabinet, when he has
ceased TO act in accordance with its poll
cy, is but another strand in the cord
which must strangle his hopes"
In another paper we read the following re-
marks in confirmation -
"As the Head Of Department, he
(Mr. Crawford) is merely a member of
the Cabinet, without participating in the
honour of supporting, much less origi-
mating, any one measure of leading i'm
portance. 1t is an indispntable fact,
that he stands alone in his opposition TO
Mr.. Monroe, and the rest Of the Cabinet,
and has manifested disposition so de-
cidedly hostile 10 the principles on
which the government has been ad.
ministered, that he has long since sacri-
ced the confidence that induced his APP
pointment TO the head of the Treasury
Department; and he has been left with
out the support Of any one of the dis
tinguished gentlemen who have been
and are the constitutional advisers of
the Chief Magistrate"

INDIAN HOSTILITIES.
ST. LOUIS, AUGUST 9.

ST. LOuIo. AUGUSl X
Mr.. John Midnight. an old and re-
spectacle citizen of ST. Louis, trading Oh
one of the upper sources of the Arkan-
sas, has been murdered by the Indians,
and robbed of nearly all his merchan-
die. He had fixed himself near the
Spanish boundary, where he erected a
fort, protected by a few men, with the
intention OF making an establishment in
that quarter, and opening trade with
the indians. But, in consequence of the
unfortunate fate of Mr.. Midnight, the
post has been abandoned, and the party
has returned TO the settlements.
The j adams, by whom this atrocity
was committed, are called the Canaan
ches, numerous and warlike nation,
bordering on the heads of the Arkansas,
and spreading through a great portion
of Texas. II is supposed they could
bring into the field at least $4,000 war
riors. The Spaniards have never been
able to do any thing with them, and
have almost relinquished the country TO
their possession. All the early frontier
establishments of the Spaniards have
long since been cut off by those Indians.
But the Americans they have hereto
fore viewed in the most friendly manner,
between whom and themselves there
has always been kept up kind and
mutual intercourse. The Camanches
are the same that Iturbide wished to
form an alliance with, for the purpose
of getting his Camanches into the I'm
perial service.

The Canes of The Pirates.

A letter from an officer on board the
United States schooner Greyhound, af-
ter giving the defeat of the Pirates at
Cape Cruz, gives the following deserip-
ton of the caves of these free-booters.
g. A cave, in which was found various
articles of plumber, female dresses aud
some human bones the history of which,
could it be known, would doubtless
chill ones blood with horror. 1t en-
tiers at the base of perpendicular cliff,
directly under the position the pirates
occupied, running in horizontal direc-
ton about 1870 feet, from to feet
high, and about the same breadth, so
intensely dark within that we were
obliged to light several candles before
we could discern objects in the deep re-
cesses and windings of the rocks. A
large tree of lignumvita grows at the
entrance, casting deep shade around,
adding still greater gloom TO the APP
pearance of this romantic spot. Sever
al other caves are near the same place,
one of which enters on the top Of the
cliffs, which we descended into by ropes
to the perpendicular distance of fifty
or siyty feet, and finding room below
capable of containing nearly 100 persons !:
all have traces of having been occupi-
ed. In some caves articles Of clothing
were found, supposed to have been
thrown in by the pirates in their retreat (;
innumerable quantities of land crabs in
habit these caves, which have the
power of crawling along the sides and
roof with the ease of fly. They re-
treated before US, and collected in the ex-
tremity of the caves in such quantities
as to fill up large assures in the rocks"

The river Gauges takes its rise 10 the
Himalaya mountains in the southwestern

81 deg. f. from London. Capt. Hodg-

this curious wall Of snow, formed by the
freezing of the melted snow water on

Torrents rush from the sides of peaks,
which, cutting their way under the

further augmented by the waters which
filter through the rents of the snow bed
itself. In this way most of the Hima-
laya rivers are formed, all issuing 10 ln!l
streams from under thick beds of snow.
From the description given of these
mountains, we conceive the scenery
must be wonderfully sublime. Their
height is stupendous. The dazzling

striking by its contrast with the dark

PKOVIDENCE, AUGUST To
An instance Of the singular and dangerous
habit Of sleep-walking, occurred a few nights
since, in the town Of Warwick. A young
man in the employ of respectable farmer,
arose in his sleep, descended one pair Of stairs,
and making his way out Of doors, was observ-
ed, by his companions from the window, to
mount brick wall, which partly inclosed the
barn yard. He walked nearly the whole
length Of the wall, which was capped with
wood, about one foot In width, reused the
cows from their resting places, preparatory to
the hour Of milking, and then retraced his
steps to his chamber, where he was awakened
by his companions.
