aSir: My Ers, duty, as /. was my first
care, on an occasion SO affecting TO my
heart, was TO PROSTATE myself before The
Lord, to solicit from him, through the
intercession of the EoIy Virgin, the
strength and courage necessary to enable
me to ful6l the impertan. task which has
been imposed upon me. Without him
we ara nothing-with him We can do
every thing. Assist me, gentlemen, with
your prayers; l solicit them not so
much for myself as for France, which
my brother has rendered SO happy
Yes, Notwithstanding the grief l feel,
am confident, that with the support Of
the Most High, l shall succeed, not in
making you forget the loss which you
have sustained, but at least in sottening
its bitterness.
A letter from Upland states, that a
peasant girl has been Initiating prince
Hohenlohe, and working miracles She
has, however, been cited to appear be-
fore the High Consistorial Court, in or
der to give an account of herself.
The Bordeaux paper Of the 9th
September, mentions that courier has
brought news from Spain Of the arrival
at Majorca of a Russian squadron of
$4,000 men, from which an officer was
despatched to Madrid.
The Dey of Algiers has announced
shat he will make war upon Sardinia
within one month from the 9th of Sep
TENDER, unless that country pay to him
the full amount of the tribute which he
had imposed. He has made the same
declaration to Holland, with an inlunc-
sion to separate herself from an alliance
with Spain within :hree months. He
has declared war without restriction
against Spain. The Dutch Admiral
commanding in the Baltic, has notified
the Spanish government, that he cannot
extend his protection to Spanish sub
Jects, in case of an attack from the AL
gerines. A squadron of twelve vessels,
well armed and equipped, were at Al
glers, ready for sea on the 9th OF Sep
TENDER.
GREECE.
The news from this interesting coun-
try is cheering to the friends OF freedom,
although il rests chiefly on the veracity
of private letters. The defea, OF the
Captain Pachs, in his attempt on Samos,
IS by them amply confirmed.
The Augsburgh Gazette of the Esd
Sept. states, that "a packet which lett
Horfu on the I'd, arrived at Trieste on
the l4th. 1t was Immediately rumored
that the Greeks had blown up the yes
sci Of the Captain Pacha. AS the let
ters from Corfu were not then distribut-
ed, the intelligence rests merely upon
This assertion of a passenger, who stated
that an English vessel which had arrived
al Corfu from Missolonghi, had announc-
ed that Csnaris had fulfilled the oath
which he took previous to his departure
from Hydra, and had blown up the Ad-
miral's vessel with the Captain Pacha on
board. 1t is added that Canaris perish
ed in the attempt--thus falling victim
TO his own patriotism. The Greeks are
filled with joy at this news, which pro-
misses fresh glory to their country. We
are looking for the contradiction or con-
iirmation of this intelligence"

SHOCKING OCCURRENCE.

We cannot find words to depict the feelings
which the following tragic occurrence has ex-
cited in us--all the gloomy fancy of Kotzebue,
Schiller or Goethe is noon day light in compa-
rison with the act committed by one of their
hapless countrymen
4 On Friday last Mr.. Ferdinand Hartmann, a
native Of Germany, 81 years Of age, arrived in
this city from St. Louis, in the steamboat
Lawrence, and took up bis lodgings at the
Planters and Merchants Hotel-his personal
appearance was respectable and prepossessing,
his address that Of gentleman by education
and habit. On Saturday morning he rose at
an early hour and inquiring of servant where
he could obtain warm bath, was directed to a
place not far distant. He went, but returned
soon after, remarking that he could not get
'one prepared in time. He went up STAIRS
and on the assembly of the boarders at the
breakfast table, his absence was remarked; a
Servant was sent to call him, but found the
door fastened on the inner side having knock
ed and receiving no answer, the servant look
ed through one Of the chamber windows and
witnessed the object of his search lying up in
acorner Of the room the floor of which was
.GOvered'with blood.
The servant gave the alarm; and the in.
mates fastened to the spot-the room was en-.
tered and the lifeless mangled remains of the
unfortunate Hartmann were found in one cor
ner, his head resting on bundle of soied
clothes, pistol in his right hand, bloody ra-
zor on the fioor, and a lumber containing a
solution of arsenic on the table, where also
was found slip OF paper, the contents of
which with those Of letter directed to Capt.
Rearick of the steam boat Lawrence, we give
below. It would appear that the unhappy
victim of despair had commenced the work
otself destruction, by taking aportion of the
arsenic; he then made two dreadful gashes in
bis throat, but not having reached the artery
aimed at, he closed the scene by discharging
asmall pistol upwards into his head through
the yawning wound in that part Of his throat
nearest the chin.
Among other particulars we have heard Of
him, it appears, that having lost, beloved
wife in Germany about ten years ago, he re-
solved to dispel care by travel, and with that
view arrived in the United States, but his
mind sunk under tho throes OF memory, and
IN moment of blghted reason, he sought re-
fnge in the grave by an act condemned by God
and abhorred by man.
It may not be unworthy Of remark, that the
last readings Of the deceased betrayed no
trembling or agitation by their character. in
The contemplation ofhis fatal resolve.

the memorial, and Mr.. Edwards replica

matter at the time, relative to the state

10 the ground; for it is equally good against
