We learn by an arrival at Portland, from
Cane Measurable, Africa, that the Coonists

A REMARKABLE CHARACTER.

The Greenvillc, (Icnn.) Economist gives
an account of the trial of an extraordinary
man, of the name of David Greer, for the
murder OF one Higgins. The trial lasted
two days, during which great number of
witnesses were examined. 1t appeared
from the testimony, that Greer had, for
bout so years past, lived secluded life on
and near the top of the Bald Mountain.
There seemed to have been vein of singu-
larity running through all his notions,
his manner of living, &c. He was
very hospitable to strangers when they
came to see him, and he was frequently
visited by the curious, who were attracted
by the desire to see the strange man ofthe
mountain, whose fame was spread through
all the surrounding country, In his deal
ings he was uncommonly exact, and an unde-
waiting adherence to truth and honesty, was
a marked trait in his character. He had

The London Courier holds this language
concerning the political situation of France
and Austria:
"Wth regard to the future policy of Aus

present which should cause any inquirtude

the consideration of internal matters, that
she can scarcely take position which could
decisiycly influence any great question of for
cign politics; while Austria knows, too we'll
