On the 18th Instant. the Name EncdmP-

icated, and It's officers installed in due and
ancient form, BY the Most Worshipful sir
HENEY FowLE, Esq. Grand Master Of the
General Grand Encampmenl OF Massacha-
sets aud Rhode Island.
The solemn ceremonies commenced at Z
O'Clock, y. M. when the Grand Officers we're
escorted By the Maine Encampment, into the
Mason's Hall, which had been previously
filled by Royal Arch Masons and ladies.
The ceremonies opened BY an appropriate
prayer BY the Rev. Thomas NJ. SMITH and
after hymn, selected for the occasion, had
been sung by some Of the members OF the
BeethoUa1 Society, the nj. l. Grand Master in
most impressive manner proceeded to ded-
icate the Encampmcnt.
The officers were then installed ia due and
ancient form, by the NJ w. Grand Master,
after which a very elegant AMI impressive
address was delivered By the Rev. JONATHAN
GREENLEAF, replete with sound morals, aud
breathing strain Of exalted piety; aud such
as did honor 10 the head and heart Of the
Reverend Author-in which were incuicated
and enforced, the duties of the order in a
manner highly calculated to impress On
the minis of all present, the importance OF

The ceremonies were closed by a very de-
vout, fervent, and appropriate prayer. BY the
Rev. SAMUEL RAND.
Tie installation was conducted by the NJ
w. Grand Master, in a most di-nifed and
impressive Inanner-and the charges given tc
the several officers, with that solemnity which
should ever characterize an institution
whose great object, in its formation, is the
defence Of the Christian Religion.
| We think that il may be said with truth
that no installation Of any Masonic body, wa.
ever better calculated, favorably to impress
the audience with the value of the Masonic
Institution, than was the Dedication and In.
stallation Of the Maine EncamPment.

With respect TO the letter addressed BY me "a
the Hon. John C.. Tillotson, it was not INV in
tention to commit any contempt against this
house, or to charge the Assembly, as body
with corruption. In the letter to the Hon. Mr..
1iilotson, expressed a mere abstract opinion,
derived from various sources and considerations
and cannot believe that this house will consi-
der me gslty of a contempt, when none WAS in-
tended, for the expression of an opinion. I have
not charged the house with corruption, and ne
yer meant TO make that charge.
a number of verbal questions were put by
members and answers given; but which did not
vary the state of the case:
When the house adopted resolution that Mr..
Caldwell be delivered to the goaler of the CITY
and county of Albany for safe keeping till the

over accordingly.
Mr.. Morss asked leave of absence for the re-

auested him to put the question to the house.

We have been favored with two Gazettes, the
one entitled Irnnfo del Caklao, Lima 14tI,
July; and the other III Desengano, CaIIao. 18th
July. The first contains RoyaIist account of
an attacl. made in the night of the 10th of said
month, by the patriot, bIockading Squadron I'M
der Admiral Guse, formerly an English Off
cer) upon the ROyalist Flotilla in the port, in
which 1t succeeded in burning the prson-ship
Jerczana, and carrying away the ship Pera
brig Snnangoria and schooner Scrafin.
In the same paper there is an official pompous
account of Don Jose Martinez, commandant of
the brig of war Constante dated Callao, 11th
Of July, addressed TO the BrgadIer Don Jose
Ramon Roll, Commandant General of the d.
vision garrlsoning Lima and the fortrcsscs of
Callao; describing his course from Quilca to the
said port, witt, his prize the ship General Car
rington, American completely GLIDING the
efforts o.! the Frigate Pruba, and the other yes
sells fthc bloclxading feet.
Then follows another official account from
Brigadicr Don Matoe Ramirez, of the ROYAL
Army othc said CommandaHt General, bear
ing date Lima, 9th July: in which he states
that, having attacked, on the morning of the
10Th, detachment of the patriots, consisting
of about 300 tnen, commanded by the Perfect
Vclasco posted at the point of CopacaudiIos,
Northern Coast, ne had succeeded in disloJging
and defeating il: taking 81 prisoners with chief
and i've other officers: and between SO and 60
men killed, including a chief and six other Off
GERS; and had taken also ii quantity of sabrcs,
lances, carbines, five caissons OF ammunition and
900 beasts of burden.
These papers make no mention Of the move
ments or positions Of tie Main Armies which are
to determine the fate Of Peru.
These papers shew that Lima and CalIao

hair is brown with red :. liskers, and his
complexion fair and rud ~, more like that

will here his name pronounced differently,
let me tell you that you must accent equally
every syllable, I-tur-bi.de. will not re-
peat the tales heard daily of the character
and conduct of this man. Prior to the late
successful revolution, he commanded small
force in the service of the Royalists, and is
accused of having been the most cruel and
blood-thirsty prosecutors of the Patriots, and
never to have spared prisoner. His Off
cial letters to the viceroy substantate this
fact. In the interval between the defeat OF
the patriot cause and the last revolution, he
resided in the capital, and i'll society not
remarkable for strict morals, he was distin-
guished for his immortality. His usurpation
of the chief authority has been the most
glaring, and unjustihable; and his exercise
of power arbitrary and tyrannical. With
pleasing address and prepossessing exterior,
and by lavish profusion, he has attached the
officers and soldiers to his person, and SO
long as he possesses the means of paying and
rewarding them, SO long he will maintain
himself on the throne when these tail he
will be precipitatcd from it. 1t is maxim
of history, which will probably be again IL
Illustrated by this example, that government
not founded on public opinion, but establish-
ed and supportedby corruption and violence,
cannot exist without ample means to pay the
soldiery, and to maintain pensioners and par
tsans. Aware Of the state OF his funds
and of the probable consequence to himself
of their failure, lie is making great exertions
to negotiate loans in England and such is
the nfatuation of the monied men in that
country, that it is possible he may eftsGt his
object. fsA
ITO judge Iturbide from his public pa
pers, do not think him a man of talents,
He is prompt, bold and decisive, and not
scrupulous about the means he employs to

"The clock was striking five; the bright
sun cleaning through hisprison bars, and the
birds outside the grated window were singing
gaily, as the sound of the bell announcing the
hour rang on his car, what were the thoughts
of the unhappy culprite Tomorrow at the
same hour, he should be stretched in death /;
his body delivered to the knife of the surgeon;
the heart that beat in his breast with every
tender feeling of love, of peace with all the
world, would perhaps be torn from its scat,
the object of philosophical research, or even
of professional ribaldry. The form that had
been nurtured by his anxious parents, who in
the watchfulness Of their care over his in
fancy, had sheltered him from the night
breeze, lest it should blow too strongly on him,
would be lacerated ; exposed and exhibited
as an example of terror to his gazing coun-
trymcn The thought was of itself, enough
to kill him but the effect it did produce was
worse than the death which nature would have
brought. His mind was made up; his deter
mination formed, and self destruction was the
object Of his mcditations.

FEMALE PIETY.

I'm Ertract-Rcligion in female secures
all her interests. 1t graces her character,
promotes her peace, endears her friendship,
secures her esteem, and adds dignity and
work indeseribablc to her deeds. How
sweet when the mistress of a family is the
handmade of the Lord-whcn the mother OF
children is an example of picty--whcn the
wife Of the bosom is espoused to the Redeem
err how desirable that the daughter be
chaste virgin to Christ that the sister
leaneth ON the arm who sticketh closer than
a brother that the songstress of the tenn
pie belong to the heavenly choir How
pleasant, when the absent husband can think
of home, and reflect that angels watch the
place, who may guard the interest and the
health of his heaven born companions, and
the children of the covenant! When about
to leave her widow, and commit to her
exclusive care his helpless offspring, how
consoling, if her character is such that she
can lean upon the widows God, and put her
children under the guardianship of him, who
is the father of the fatherlcss! Then he
quits the world calm and happy, supported
bv the hope, that he shall meet them in
heaven.
Religion has peculiar sweetness when it
minglcs with the softness Of the female char
acter; so the dew drop borrows odour and CO.
lor from the rose.
