tn. following particulars communicated by
a gentleman from Maysville, KY
II anpears that Dcsha fell in company with
Mr.. baker at some place near Mayslick.
fter some conversation, by which he learn
ed that Mr.. Baker was travelling eastward,
and intended calling on Capt. William Beck
lv n relation of his living near Washington,
he. Desha, offered to accompany him, to show
him the way to that gentleman's, which offer
was accepted. Nothing more was seen or
heard of Mr.. Baker until he was found scve-
raj DAYS afterwards in the woods, covered
with logs and rubbish, with his throat cut
from ear to earl The back of his head was
much bru a, supposed to have been occa-
STONED by the strokes of large whip in Dts-
has possession, and the thumb OF his right
hand had been cut; apparently while resis-
ting the kuife of the murderer. Dcsha, we
learn. was met near the place where the
murder was committed, by a lad who asserts
that his hands and clothes were bloody, and
that he was carrying bride which was also
bloody. The horse of the deceased was found
in the possession of Dcsha and a shirt Des-
ha had on, on being compared with Bakers,
was found to be of the same quality, with the
mark cut out in precisely the same place
Lwhere Bakers name was written on the
other.
These circumstances, and perhaps check
for large amount seen in Desha's possession,
! caused him to be arrested /; and SO great was
the excitement in the ncighbourhood that the
Jail in Fleminsburg, where he was confined,
had to be guarded to prevent an enraged po-
pulace from breaking in, and violently put
ting to immediate death the man charged
with this atrocious crime.-This statement
VIC give as we received it, without voaching
for its correctness. The Kentucky papers
are silent on the subject, perhaps in defer
ence to the feeling of their Chief Magis-
trate.

CHRISTMAS.

The reflections arising from the arrival OF
another anniversary of our adorable Redeem
er, are of that overwhelming kind, that we
can scarcely find words to give them utter
ance. Let us in imagination turn back the
wheel of time for eighteen centuries. In
little town Of Palestine we behold the new
born babe lying i'll a manager and wrapped III
swaddling clothes. All is plain, simple, re-
firing and transformations poverty--presen-
ting nothing to fascinate the eye, OF charm
the scnse-now we will let the wheel OF time
roll down to the present century, 10 thls
child so born, all christcndom is upon their
kness, at the present hour. Surviving tue
downfall of nations and the prostratlon OF
empires--this wonderful Being, touched with
his consecrated hand the majestic temples OF
Roman and of Grecian idulatry, and they
crumblel to dust beneath his feet--con
demped to an ignominious death, he suffers
that penalty and is laid in the gravc.-Ihisi it
was thought would end forever the. question
Of his miuistly--but on the third day, he
walks from the tomb, appears to his disci-
pies, shews the prints of the nails III his
hands, and in his feet victorious over death !;
and ascends INTO Heaven. He commits his
message to twelve poor and illitcrate fisher
men of Gallilee-- Men who testify plainly TO
the facts of which we have spoken, and seal
their testimony With their blood. Human Wit
and human wisdom, the one by raillcry, and
the other by argument, now unite themselves
with the prosecutors Of Christianity, and
ndefiance ofali opposition, it still triumphs--
the buyning sands of Africa, and the regions
of polar cold-the "isles Of the sea" each
in their turn behold; tall down and worship
the standard of the cross. They gaze upon
the tomb, and it becomes suddenly irradiated
with blaze of universal light. An immortal
hand removes the stone placed by ignorance
and ilolatry at the door. The military force
appointed by the tyrants Of idolatry to guard,
quake and become as dead meii, and the Re-
deemcr once more forth walks from the
grave, AMI shews himself to his disciples.
Now when we compare in the roll offs many
centuries, such gigantic events with their
cause, the child that was found i'll the man
ger, can even the son of science, to say no
thing Of the christian, resist such evidence
that the work indeed is Naturalization.

Foreisn Intelligence.

SPAIN-It is stated, thrcc-fourths Of the
French troops are to be withdrawn from
Spain. The fourth, which is to be retained,
is to be stationed in the principal fortresses,
fourth is to be left on the frontier, as an
army of observation: and the rest are to be
disbanded
The Greeks are said to have been again
triumphant. Dervish Pacha, with 5000
men, had been repulscd at fhermopyln and
forced to retreat on Larissa in confusion, with
the loss of fourteen stand OF COLOURS; Odys-
seus had defeated party of Turks advanc-
ing from Negropont and in Western Greece,
Omer Pacha's forces had been routed near
Arta.
The fate of Greece seems to be consider
ed as nearly decided; and an article from
the Danube affirms that "a great power has
expressed itself in their favor in such man
ner that important events may be expected
in the Spring"
Letters from the Ionan islands of the goth.
27th. of Sept and 3D. of October, confirms
the defeat of the United Egyptian and Turk
ish fleet. They state that their loss was
very great, and they had fled in all directions.
Thus has the naval armaments from Con-
stantinople and Egypt been entirely depriv-
ed of the power of doing mischief to the
Greeks

A NARROW ESCAPE.

On the 18th Sept. last, Mr. John Ellis OF
Mercer, Pa. Celebrated hunter, being OH
hunting expedition on Moose river, had
very remarkable and dangerous encounter
with a Moose. While employed in taking
muskrats from his traps, nc heard a loud
cracking of the brush on the opposite side Of
the river, which he supposed was caused by
a carabou seiziug his gun he Immediately
entered his birch and proceeded to the spot
where the noise was heard. On his APP
preaching the animal retreated, and was fol
lowed by Mr.. Ellis ten or fifteen rods, when
it took to the river. He now discovered the
animal to be very large bull moose, and
Immediately returned to his canoe, which
lay about fifty rods below where the moose
entered the river, and started III pursuit Of
him. Having BY great cxertions approach
ed within six or eight rods OF him, he leavcl-
cd his gun and fred, and the shot taking eff
feet the moose made for the shore. Ascend
ing low pine bank he proceeded about
fifty rods into an alder swail, tearing every
thing before him as he went with his huge
horns. Mr.. Ellis remained in his canoe till
the noise ceased, when having reloaded he
proceeded in search of him. The moose
was soon comeup with, and rather unexpect-
