II was not long since said, and we believe
we gave currency to the report, that Captain
srNars had accepted an invitation from the
Emperor of Russia to accompany one of his
northern expeditions ofdiscovery. 1t now ap-
pears, from the Cincinnati Gazette, that he
has come to a more prudent determination
He is shortly to set out on a tour of the East
ern States, for the purpose of promuigating
his theory by Lecture. We anticipate much
satisfaction from hearing him.

In adverting to the interesting incidents
growing out of the last visit of the Nations
Guest to the seat Of the General Government,
the National Intelligencer presents us with a
remark which the editors heard the veteran
make a day or two before his departure, and
which, in justice to him, as well as in ale
Walton of the injured pride of his correspond
ing friends, ought to be widely circulated.
He was speaking Of his accumulated cores
poudence, when he expressed his deep con-
Germ that it had been so entirely out of his
power to acknowledge the receipt of the nu-
merous letters and addresses, which he had
received, as to have wounded, he feared, the
feelings Of many whom he most esteemed.
We regret there should be grounds for the
unpleasant apprehension, yet many, we be-
leve, have thoughtlessly suffered morti6ca-
tion-indeed We know of some-butthe slight
est reflection was sufficient to remove every
suspicion Of intentional neglect. A heart so

A paper war seems to have commenced be-
tween Governor Troup and Gen. Gaines. The
last Georgia Patriot contains another letter
from the General, more severe by fur than any
that has preceded il. 1t is in answer to his
excellency's communication enclosing copies
oGhis letters to the President, bearing date the
Goth July and 9th of Aug. These We have
already published. The letter enclosing them
we have not seen. The General promises in
his next a full defence of his conduct through
out the whole affair, and to prove that the
report of the Georgia Commissioner is tainted
with Misrepresentation and peridy. This IS
lone as a private citizen, he further promises,
should the Governor wish it, to correspond
with him officially, until 'they shall have en-
hausted the argument" then he SAYS, ''they
viii stand by their -- goose quills, and
"iak Of rQhr."

The Grand jury of Cecil County
have found a Bill of Indictment against
John Conner for the murder, of Miss
Evelina Cunningham. He was ar
raigned on the 9th and after pleading

The Ranger, it will be remembered,
sailed from Hampton Roads 10th June,

Colombian schooner Reprisallo, Capt.

The trial of BErsEY RUDDER, whose
commitment to the Jail of Princess
Anne county OF the e5th July last, up
on the charge of murdering her father,
was stated about that time in the Bea-

Of Law for that county on Wednesday
last. Her Younger sister was the only
witness against her, and her testimony
was so contradictory that the jury
brought in a verdict of acquital.

The United States ship Constellation, with
Commodore WABRINGroy on board, has ar
rived in Hampton Roads from the West India
station. Report says, that she brings an ac-
count of the French having actually taken
possession of the Island Of Cuba and Porto
Rico, and that a Cabinet Council was held in
Washington on Tuesday evening, Immediate
ly after the receipt of dispatches from Com
modore Warrington, through Lieut.. Hall of
the Marines. We entertain no doubt Of the
truth of the report.
It is said that the yellow fever has prevailed
to a considerable extent OH board the Con-
stellation, but generally of a mild character.
Midshipman Beckman died of the disease on
the passage home. Lieut.. Hall represents that
there has been no recent instance of Piracy
heard of, and that it is believed that the Prac-
tee is, for the present, entirely suppressed.
We have to-day copied from the National
Journal, a communication from Mr.. Senator
Berrien to the editor of that paper, accompa-
MED by correspondence between himselfand
Governor Troup on the sublectof the Cover
nor's misrepresentation of Mr.. Wirt's arsu-
ment in the Supreme Court. For those who
will take the trouble to read the cores
pondence, no comment is necessary; but IT
may perhaps save labor to many by simply
stating that Judge Berrien denies having
given any such information to the Cover
nor as the latter communicated to the Legis-
lature, and expresses himself much sur
prised that their private conversation should
have been made the subject of an unautho-
rized message to an Ex;ra-Legislature. The
Governor in reply, exonerates the Senator
from the authorship ofthe calumnies against
Mr.. Writ and the General Government, but,
without giving il up, still maintains that he had
authority for what he communicated.

The duty on tobacco is now IS. per

London, Aug. 1.-The Paris papers
bring news from Madrid, according to
which the King of Spain seems per-
picked how { o decide on the opposite
counsels which he receives from his
Ministers Zea and Ballasteros. He has

CONVERSION OF THE FRENCH DEBT.
BY the letters and papers of Saturday

appears that M. de Villele, as we pre-
dicted, has realized the first part of his
plan for the conversion of the French

Thy footsteps followed, in darkness and danger,
From the home of my love to the land of the stran
ger
Thou vert mine through the tempest, the blight,
and the burning
Could think thou wouldst change when the morn
was returning
Yet peace to thy heart, though from mine it must
sever
May she love thee as lov'd--alone and forever
may weep for thy loss, but my faith is mistaken
And the heart thou hast wdow'd will bless thee in
breaking.

THE BACHELORS ELYSIUM.

We are informed that there is in the
other world, place prepared for maids
and bachelors called Fiddler's Green,
where they are condemned, for the lack
Of good fellowship in this world, to dance
together to all eternity. One Of party
who had been conversing on this subject,
after returning home, had his brain SO oC-
cupied with it, that in dream he ina
gined himself dead, and translated to this
scene of inCessant fddling and dancing.
After describing his Journey to these
merry abodes of hopping shades, he says
that on passing the confines, he perceived
female figure advancing with ram
bling, rapid motion, resembling hop,
skip, and jump. He now cast his eyes
upon his own person, as a genteel spirit
would naturally do, at the approach Of
female, and for the first time saw, that al
though he had left his substance in the
other world, he was possessed of an airy
form, precisely similar to the one he had
left behind him, and was clad in the ghost
of suit Of clothes made after the new est
fashion, which be had purchase few
DAYS before his death. AS the figure came
near she slackened her pace, and struck
into a graceful chassee forward, at the
same time motioning to him to cross
rivulet, which he no sooner did, than he
fell dancing with incredible agility.
He is then conducted, or rather whirl-
ed away, by his fair companion, to the
manager of the green, where he has an
opportunity of beholding the congrega-

FROM THE LONDON NEW MONTHLY MAGAZINE.
THIS is LOVE.

THIS is LOVE.
To sigh for hours at Beauty's feet,
To start when rival steps draw near,
With ardent warmth her glance to meet
And pour soft f1atterlcs in her ear;
To kneel, till won by fairer forms
And brighter eyes, and then forsake,
And while new hope, new fancy warns,
TO leave her trusting heart to break
This passion haunts our early span,-
This is the wagering love OF Man!
To seek one form in early youth,
To court no gaze, no vow beside,
To hold through If an holy truth,
Which firmest proves when deepest tried.
And ike the diamonds sparkling Light
San halls AID palaces illume,
Yet shines more cheering and more bright
In scenes OF darkness and of gloom:
This faith deScends from realms above
This, this is Woman's changeless love -

Stricl'st out the dimple from the cheek of mirth,
And every Sinking feature from the face
Branding our laughter with the name of madness
Where are the testers now the man of health
Complexonaly pleasant where the droll
Whose every look and gesture joke
To clapping theatres and shouting crowds,
And made cen thick-lpp'd musng Melancholy
To gather up her face into a smile
Before she was aware All sullen now,

And with blunt truth acquants what we are.
Beauty thou pretty plaything dear deceit
That steals so softly DER the strplng's heart
And gives it q pulse unknown before

Thy roses faded, and thy lilies solid,

THE RETROSPECT.

All, years-that passd in sorrow by,
And hope-that blossom'd to be blighted,
And angel forms-that charm'd the eye,
And angel songs that once delighted!
Where ere ye nov Through tancy's flight
To you MY soul doth sometimes bear,
Departed times eternal night,
Re-echoes back the question, "wHERE /"
Oh how has time, relentless time,
Plunderd our years and hopes away
Nor spared at mornings golden prime,
Nor spared at high meridian day
Alb, as in autunln's dying hour,
Each breeze a funeral Girge hath been;
Fallen the Youngest sweetest flower,
Wither'd the bough most fair and green,
VANISHED is hopes once sweet control,
And pleasure, that like morning dew,
Came III its freshness on the soul,
Has lost its early richness too
Nature in simple beauty drest,
Still dances round the restless year,
And gazing on her yellow vest,
| sometimes think my change is near.
Not that my hair with age is grey,
Not that my heart has yet grown cold,
But, that Remembered friendships say,
Death loves not best tn infrm and old
AS many bosom knows and feels,
Left in the flower of life alone
And many an epitaph reveals
On the white monumental stone.
Well, let it strike he shall not find
weak reluctant spirit here
Why should long to stay behind,
Till age comes cold and sad and drear--
Lingering, while others are at rest
Among the ruins time has made,
Till chill and damp above my breast,
Lies latest evening filings its shade.

Thou herald pale of death and fate
Cadaverous and cold,
What numerous pains thy presence wait,
What mortal woes untold.
Chill flows the warm and genial blood,
Beneath thy angry nod;
And briefly perish in the bud
The faireSt works of God.
Relentless tyrant Of our race!
Deceiver of the wise!
Death shows his image in thy face,
And he thou look ST on--dies!
Aye, withers, silent, sad and pale
Tho SLOW his doom, yet sure;
Thy breath empoisons every gale,
Thy victim to secure.
'To-day thy fattery lulls our fear,
And health trips jocund by:
Tomorrow all our hopes are scar,
And DER the wreck we sigh
Our spirits sink depressed aud weak,
The orbs of vision close;
Death sets his seal upon the cheel,--
We sink beneath our woes.
Get hail.-thou tyraut fell and dread!
Thy ghastly visaee show;
SO on this heart before hath bled,
1t fears no future blow.
Come, prey upon this wasting form
Thy fortunes all combine;
Pour on this head thy fierccst storm,
Till 10 Death! am thine.
