.4ttempt 10 Rob the Southern Mail.

HtScmpt ~ LiVO CIV e1Nest'S'' ~'@S'''
Charleston, May lS-The Southern
mail due yesterday, did not arrive here
until this morning, owing to an at
tempt having been made to rob it. The
driver states, that on Wednesday even
ing, about half past O'Clock, between
Combahee and Ashepoo, he was sud
denly laid hold of, aud pulled out OF
the sulkey by several persons who threw
him down and filled his face with sand
that on recovering himself, he found
that the horse being frightened, had
run off with the mail before they had
accomplished their design. The night
being very dark, the driver could not
distinguish whether those! persons were
white or black; but finding the object
ortheir attempt lost, they abandoned
him and he escaped without material
INJURY.
After running for about 4 miles, the
horse with he mail was, ssOpped by
the other driver who was Carrying the
Northern mail to Savannah.

a still further advance The state of the winds
has no little influence on prices; for whilst a
puff from the eastward is enough to raise cot
ton half penny per pound, breeze from
the westward would, it is probable, sink it a
penny. So precarious is speculation not
fewer than 81, 900 bags of cotton have it is as

last. 1t would be curious to describe the pro.
cess, by which 100 bags, by frequently chang

Apra 23.-We have to advise the most eX-
tensive sales Of Cotton this week that are on
record-amounting to about 101, 900 bags,
worth about two millions of pounds. The be-
lief that our supplies will be short from every
quarter, and the still increasing consumption
OF this article has induced great speculation.
The trade buy freely at present prices and our
market has every appearance Of continuing
high. Uplands have advanced this week a
bout ID Egyptian and Brazils about Sd
We sincerely hope you may have been in
duced to ship. Such year may not occur
again in century. Tobacco continues at
steady prices. The sales last week amount
to about 400 hhds. Good sound Virginia is
most sought after. Turpentine is steady in
price. Our expectation that the duties will
be lowered, prevents the trade from buying
more than their immediate wants require.
Flour goes off slowly at our quotations -
Some shipments of Philadelphia -four have
been made to Gibraltar. We shall soon know
whether any alteration will be made in our
Corn Laws. 1t is question of great impor-
lance to the U. States, and we shall keep you

GIULIO, A TALE.
In Improvisation Of Bonabdrte.

BoG1oparte, during the first year after he ascend
ed the imperial throne, was in the habit of passing
such evenings as he could spare from business, in
the apartments of the Empress. Harassed by the
fatigues of the day, he would throw himself on a
sofa, and there devoured by his ambitious projects,
would lose himself in gloomy silence, which no
one had the boldness to disturb. But sometimes
he would give the reins TO his ardent Imagination,
and to his taste for the Marvellous Or to speak
more justly, to that necessity for producing effect,
which was, perhaps, his predominant feeling and
he would then recite histories which were almost
always terrible, and which never failed to bear the
impress of his character The ladies in waiting
profted by these variations of the Emperor, and it
is from the repetition of one of them (Madame de
r. that the following anecdote has been transcribed.
Never said that lady, 6 did Bonaparte appear
to me more extraordinary than during his recital of
the story of Giulio. Carried away by his subject,
he traversed the apartment,-his voice varied with
his Characteristic seemed to multiply himself, and
the terror he inspired was unaffected" To excite
alarm in his audience was delightful to him, and
nothing gratifed him so highly as the expression
of horror which marked the countenances of those
who surrounded him. Madame de R. committed
to paper the anecdote of Giulio the night on which
she heard related, and shortly afterwards impaired
it to one of her friends NJ Guzot, to whom we
indebted for its communication.

pulsed by an invisible hand in such cases they
were never tempted to return.
Camille, young Roman noblemaD, resolved to
explore the abode of the sybil, and engaged his
intimate friend Giulio as his companion in the en-
terprise the latter being of an rresolute and IL
mid temper, at first declined the proposal. 1t was
not that the reports current respecting the dangers
to be encountered on entering the dwelling of the
Syb caused him to hesitate ; but Gulio shudder-
ed at the thought of an unveiled Future never
theess the request of Camille decided him. On
the day appointed they departed together On

their swords and entered the sanctuary. A female

combined with the mutabilty of life and its passions,

words to describe or to define those supernatural
beings, who, no doubt, inhabit regions where the
language of man is unknown. Guo, startled by
her aspect, turned aside Camille cast down his
eyes. The Sybl demanded their business, and
Camille explained to her the motives of their visit.
She did not listen to him. her attention seemed sole

dered, and extended one hand towards him, as
though to seize him, and suddenly drew back Ca
milo entreated her to reveal to him his destiny,-
she consented, and Gulio retired. After short
conference, Camille sought his friend, whom he
found plunged in profound reverie; he told him,
smiling, that he need not be discouraged, that for
his own part he learned nothing terrlble that the
Sybl promised hun that he should marry Juliana

ror, approached Giulo, who, pale and motioness,
incapable of supporting himself. In vain he
interrogated him; the only reply he obtained was
vague repetition of the words Murder Sacri-

At length Camille succeeded in conducting him
to his house, where he had no sooner lodged him in
safety than he flew to the abode of the Sybil he
solved to speak with her and to compel from her
explanation but the palace deserted, the cur
tain, the inscription all had disappeared not trace
of the sorceress remained, nor was she ever seen
again.
Some weeks elapsed, the wedding day of Camille
was fixed, and Giulo seemed to have regained his
tranquility Camille forebore to nterrogate him,
hoping that thus the horrible with the Sybil
might gradually fade from his recollection. On the
eve of the marriage, it happened that the Marquis
de Cosmo, the father of Gulio, thrown from
his horse, and although he received no important
injury from his fall it had the effect Of delaying the
celebration Of the nuptials. Giulio, Jullana, and
Camille, surrounded the bed the Marquis, lament
ing the unfortunate obstacle to their hopes. Ca
millo struck by sudden reflection, cried out aloud,
"The prediction of the Sybil is verified % This cx-
clamaton evidently produced great agitation iii Giu

milo and Juana were united. Giulio did not ap-

search after him proved frutless. His father was
miserable after the lapse of about a month he re-

resolution is inhexble, nothing can change It, Dis

This letter had no date he who had brought it was
unknown, and had disappeared. The Marquis in
terrogated the Monk, through whose means alone
he believed there yet remained chance Of obtain

alike vain the Monk was neither to be persuaded
nor inundated; he replied that he was not igno-
