Extract ofa letter from Bordeaur dated, .apriI15
"The Ministry of this country ap-
pear to be in truly embarrassed situa-
ton as 1t respects the commerce Of
South America. Petitions from the
principal merchants are continually
presented to them from all quarters,
praying them to open the commerce
to that country, that they may enjoy
the great benefit which would no doubt
accrue BY such measure. On the
other hand the Government are bound
to the Holy Alliance, which effcctually
prevents them from recognising those
States, although they are no doubt in
reality lost TO Spain. 1t is said that
Mr.. Villele has called a meeting Of the
principal merchants from different
parts Of France, when this great ques-
ton will be discussed. If the recogni-
ton of the South American States take
place, France will no longer form one
of the Holy Alliance; if on the contra
~ she refuse, there will be just cause
of complaint by the industrious part Of
the country, who will have a right to
say-You impose upon us heavy taxes,
particularly the one in question for in
demnity to the emigrants, and you
seem determined by your system to
put it out Of our power to pay. In my
opinion this Government will be forced
to aceede to the wishes of the majority
and let the rest of the Saints of the AL
lance take care Of themselves. There
are now several French vessels fitting
out for South Americr, and the owners
fear, what think may occur, that the
Government in that country will refuse
them admittance." ID.

Vrginia Conrention.-we publish to day
Mr.. PowELL's rejoinder to Mr.. HENDERSON on
the subject of the Loudoun Resolutions. 1t
is a dignifed vindication of his own course
and opinions, and as such, we feel not the
slightest disposition to deny him the right or
the facility of circulating it. We have advoca-
ted the staunton Convention as measure in
our judgment, well calculated to produce the
effect intended by its advocates; and as one
from which, we are not convinced that any in
Jury to the cause can possibly result. But, at
the same time, we are willing, and as Editors
of a frSe Journal, feel ourselves bound, to ex-
tend It's columns, as far as we Can, all tempe
rate and instructive arguments without regard
to their operation ON the public mind
We say this with no view of inviting the
communications of gentlemen opposed to us
in opinion, but because Mr.. p, in note in
closing his rejoinder, has politely advcrted to
our Convention creed, as reason for consi-
dering himself under obligations to us. We
beg leave to correct him; and to assure HIM
that whenever he deems it necessary to resort
to a public print, ours is at his service, free
from any other obligation than that which his
selection may confer upon ourselves.

INTERESTING FACT.

The following interesting fact Of a
young Indian Chief, Of the Pawnee ma
ton; at the foot of the Rocky Mountains,
who was on visit to Washington in the
winter OF 1924, is extracted from letter
of the Reverend Richard Reece, to the
editor Of the London Wesleyan Methodist
Magazines:
"This young warrior, of fine size, f.
cure and counterance, is now about Is
years old. At the age of 81, his heroic
deeds had acquired for him in his nation,
the rank of the drapest Of the 6rave"-
The savage practice of torturing and
burning to death their prisoners, existed
in his nation. An unfortunate female was
destined to this horrible death. The fatal
hour had arrived, the trembling victim

MAJOR LONGS EXPEDITION.
STORY OF AMPATO sAPA.
This beautiful spot in the Mississippi (Falls of St.
Anthony) is net without a tale to haow its scene
ry, and heighten the interest which, of ITSELF it is
calculated to produce. To Wazekota, an old Indian,
we are indebted for the narration of the following
transaction, TO which his mother eyewitness.
An Indian of the Dacato nation had united him.
self in early life to youthful female, whose name
Ampato Sapa, which signifies the DARK Day
with her he lived happily for several years, appa-
rently enjoying every comfort which the savage life
can afford. Their union had been blessed with two
children; on whom both parents doatcd with that
depth Of feeling which is unknown to such as have
other treasures besides those that spring from
ture. The man had acquired reputation as hun
ter, which drew round him many families, who were
happy to place themselves under his protection.
and avail themselves of such part of his chase as he
needed not for the maintenance Of his family. De-
slrous OF strengthening their interest with him.
some of them invited HIM to form connection with
their family. observing at the time, that man
of his talents and Importance required more than
one woman to wait upon the numerous guests whom
his reputation would induce to visit his lodge
They assured him that he would soon be acknow
lodged as chief, and that in this case, second
wife was indispensable. Fired with the ambition
of obtaining high honors, he resolved to increase his
importance by an union with the daughter of an in
fuential man of his tribe. He had ACCORDINGLY
taken second wife, without ever mentioning the
subject to his former companion. Being DESTROYS to
introduce his bride into his LODGE in the manner
which should be least offensive to the mother of his
children, for whom he still retained much regard &,
"You know, said he. that can love no woman

than by associating with you in the household du-
ties one who shall relieve you from the trouble of en-
tertainng the numerous guests, whom my growing
Importance in the nation collects around me. have
therefore resolved upon taking another wife, but
she shall always be subject to your control, as she
will always rank in my affections second to YOU

love and the purest conjugal affection could sug.
gest. She replied to all the objections which his
duplcity led him to raise. DESTROYS of winning her
from opposition, the Indian still concealed the Sc
cret OF his union with another while she redoubled
all her care to convince him that she was equal to
the task imposed on her. When he again spoke on
the subject, she pleaded all the eDdearments of their
past ife-she spoke of his former fondness for her.
OF his regard for her happiness and that of their mu
tual offspring, and babe him beware of the conse.
quences of this fatal purpose of his. Finding her
bent upon Withholding her consent to his plan, he
informed her that all opposition on her part was un.
necessary, as he had already selected another part
ner and that if she could no: see his new wife as
trend, she must receive her as necessary incum-
brance, for he had resolved that she should be an
inmate of his house. Distressed at this information,
she watched her opportunity, stole away from the
CABIN with her infants, and fed to distance where
her father With him she remained until par
ty of Indians with whom he lived went up the Mis-
sissIppi winter hunt In the Spring, as they
were returning with their canoes, loaded with pei
tries, they encampcd near the falls. In the morn

children, and padded down the stream singing her

been wandering the spot with her chill

traditions that the Indians treasure up, and which
they relate to the yoyager, forcing from the
eyes of the most relentless.

sought after and the ornament of all the
ragos of Asia, Africa, and Europe, because they
possess that pleasing union of features that pro-
portion of all the parts Of the body, that spiendor,
those brilliant tns, that whole that cannot be de-
fined, but which exists, and necessarily constitutes
beauty, since all men render it homage.
1t is only in this point of view that the inhab
tants of Circassia Ga country between the Caspian
and the Black seas deserve the attention Of the OBJ
serving traveller. 1t will easily be conceived that
the nation which considers women as merchandise
never make her companion, consider
rage as sacred and indissoluble union. We find,
accordingly, that the Circassians have many,wives,
whom they change at pleasure, but the first wife
always has superiority over the others, which
thing take away, and which she retains till
death.
The first wife. who is usually married when ex-
tremely young, is purchased like the rest IN the
public markets, where an innumerable multitude
Of women are exposed to sale, habited in the man
ner which is judged most likely to exile the desire
of the buyer. 10 inquiry IS made with respect to
whence the woman was brought, and if the names
Of her parents asked, it is only ascertain whe
Their she derives her birth from a stock Of pure and
acknowledged beauty. The usual price of a beau
tfu Circassian female is from eight to ten thousand
pastrcs.
Women being the principal commerce in Circas-
-ia every thing in their education and habitual life
has for its object to preserve their beauty and ia
cate its Development. All domestic occupa-
tons are abandoned to the slaves-women are sole
ly employed with the arts of the toilette and the
means of pleasing. They make it particular study
to noduiatc their voice in soft and melodous tones,
and to display grace and elegance in every motion.
Their habltations ntermingled with gardens
aud form small villages very near to each other, and
consisting of about twenty houses each. And in
the middle OF each OF these villages is strongly for
the women and the riches of the country. These
towers, as well all the houses are built of wood
decorated with great art and finished with taste.
The dress Of the Crcassian men is mixture of
the Greek and Turkish habits 1t consists of pair
Of wide pantaloons buskins close bodice fasten-
ed with girde, kind of domino with open sleeves,
and cap turban not very high, broad at the top
and narrow at the bottom They shave their boards,
leaving very long mustachios.
The dress OF the women is more simple and pleas
ing 1t consists of pantaloons, bodice, and a long
rope III the American taste, or large redpelsse.
From the cap or bonnet, of the shape of sugar
ed with pearls.

Thou shouldst not to the grave descend
Unknown to foe, unwept by friend;
Nor need the panegyrist's verse
In glowing strains thy deeds rehearsc.
We ask not for thy early tomb,
Ambitions proudest leaf to blooms
Or that nation should decree
Marble or obsequies to thee.
Yet when thr recollected charms
of modest worth, one heart embalmsi
When that heart prompts one holy tear
To joys once known--no longer here.
Glide not!-the cline to which thou'st fed,
| Where sighs are not, nor tear is shed,
Is genial to that love, whose birth
Like angels love, was not Of Garth

We weep not that yon narrow cell
Encloses thee, for there thy head

Where laurels deck the warriors brow,
Where tears and smiles attend him now!
