UNNATURAL AND REMARKABLE &C.
CURRENCE.

We learn by communication from
the Usage Mission, that aboutthe 9th
Of Sept. last, an Usage woman was de-
livered Of two children, male and ie-
male; and, that shortly after their birth,
The unnatural mother expressed de-
termination to put them to death; from
this, however, she was prevented by
her sister, who used every persuasive
means to reconcile the mother TO her
infants. but she obstinately refusel
them the care and nourishment which
nature designed for them, saying if the
children were brought nigh her, she
would kill them. There was no alter
native left, but for the sister to bestow
on the abandoned infants such care as
was in her power; and being destitute
of all means. sustained them seDen days
on ,cater. The mother, as though pos
sessed Of some evil spirit, and prede-
termined on her purpose, on the even
ing of the seventh day, prevailed on an
old squaw to steal the children and Sc
crct them IN the woods, to perish. In
this the old wretch succeeded; but on
the rext morning, the 9Th day, the Rev.
Mr.. Paxley, one of the Missionaries,
was informed by an Indian woman, of
the fact, which induced Mr.. p. in com
pany with Mr.. Bright, of the same fam
lily, and Mr.. Dunlap, blacksmith to
the Usage nation, to go Immediately in
pursuit Of some Indian from whom
they could obtain information respect
ing the fate of the children; and in their
inquiries, met with an old Indian wo-
man, who informed Them if they would
pay her, she would conduct them to the
place where the children were conceal
ed. This extraordinary demand was
complied with, and the party was con-
Quoted along a small Indian trace, I'M
til they reached within about a half
mile of the residence Of Mr.. p. to a
large thicket ofbriars, which the squaw
passed, apparently by design; bat Mr..
Paxley discovered track leaving the
trace, which he pursued into the thick
ct, and found the children both tied up
together in piece of an old blanket,
and TO his great jov, both living; one,
sucking the check of the other Mr. p.
carefully took the little fonndIings to
his residence, where our informant saw
them twelve days after, doing well.

THE NEW REPUBLIC OF UPPER PERU.
It has been already stated in this pa
per, that the Provinces Of Upper Peru,
had made formal declaration OF In
dependence, and thus constituted them
selves Republic. The National Jour
nal supplies us with the following
translation of this important docu-
ment, by which, to adopt the language
of its editor, ga new star is added to
the bright southern constellation, under
the benignant influence of which the
whitening principles and maxims OF
despotic sway are rapidly giving place
to ulster conceptions Of the relations
between people and their government. =

DECLARATION.
The sovereign representation OF the
provinces Of Upper Peru, deeply pc
nctrated with the magnitude * weight
of their responsibility to Heaven and
the world. in deciding the destinies Of
their constituents, have Invested them
selves of all partially and private feel
ings at The altar of justice, and have
ardently implored the aid of the Great
Architect Of the Universe in forming
Just decision. Conscious Of good faith,
Justice, moderation and careful delibe-
ration on theirpresen' resolution, they
declare, in the name and with authori-
ty of their Representatives, that the
happy day has arrived, when Upper
Peru has become liberated from un Just
power, from the tyrannic and unjust
Ferdinand VII. and that this fertile re-
gion has escaped the debasing relation
Of i colony Of Spain; that it is impor-
tan, TO its welfare, not to incorporate
itself with any Of the coterminous Re-
pubhcs, but TO erect Itself into {, sover-
cign and independent State, in relation
to the new as well as the old world;
that the provinces fUpper Peru, firm
and unanimous in their resolution,
proclaim to the whole earth, that they
will govern themselves, under their
own constitution, laws and authorities,
that they may think most conducive 10
the prosperity of the nation, the in
violable support of the Catholic rrli-
gion, and the maintenance Of the sa-
cred rights OF honor, life, liberty, equal
ily, property and security. To carry
into effect this determination, they
bind themselves, through this soye-
reign representation, by their lives,

There was rumor sometime since
running the rounds of the Virginia pa
pers, that the venerable Ex-President
MoNRoE would be supported at the en-
suing election, in that State, for the Of
fee of Governor. To this we did not
pay much attention at the time, not
knowing on what authority the report
was founded. We have since received
such confrmatory evidence, as salts
fes our own minds upon the subject,
and we venture, therefore, to state that
Mr.. MoNRoE has been applied TO, and
that he will consent to serve, ifelected.

FRAGMENT.

II was one of the coolest nights Of
the season. The wind blew with re-
morscless violence Aunt Ennice
was herself i'll, and begged that |
would step up and see how the poor
woman WAS. entered the habita-
ton. II was poor shelter. The
pale moon-b beams played on the floor,
through the chinks, and the wind
whistled through tie broken win
dows. On the bed, pale and emacia-
ted with fever, lay tIlepoor woman.
In a cradle by the side Of the bed,
wrapped in single rug, slept an in
FAINT, and in the corner, over small
fire, sat little boy about FIVE years
old. There was 40 other being in
the house, no friend to s0oth her dis
tress, no nurse to moisten her burn
ing lips, with drop of water. Po-
verify has few ,allurements. sickness
has none, aud prudcry and unchari-
tablcDess readily ayailed themselves
Of the frailties Of the poor sufferer, to
excuse their neglect.
Isteppcd ont to procure a loaf Of
bread for the children; was moi long
gone, and on returning 10 the door,
the sound Of footsteps ON the floor
told me somebody was within. q. it
was pleasing sight! A young le-
male friend, whose genius is not
unknown to her literary acqualn-
tance-Nhose virtues and amiable
disposition, combined with peculiar
agreeabicness Of manners, render
| her beloved as extensively as she is
known, had preferred to the gay
scenes Of miith or the charms Of a
novel, lone and ostentations visit
to the house Of poverty and the bed
of sickness Like an angel of mer-
Cy, she was administering to the
comfort Of the poor woman and her
infant.
/ have seen the assemblies Of the
great. have seen women glowing
with beauty-arraye in the richest
attractions of dress, whose charms
we're heightened by the "pride and
pomp, and circumstance" of " ele-
gaut conyiyiaIity." A lovely wo-
man, in such a scene irfcsistbly
commands our admiration. But a
louc--at the bed of poverty and sick
ness-she appears more than human
Il would not be impious, but she
seems almost divine.
