singular instance OF cowIeechery has al

ORGANIC beings large and graceful forms.
The example of the Laplanders and
HuDgirians, whose language indicates
their common origin, and who differ ex-
trena,. in stature aud physiognomy, suffl-
cienty proves that the beauty OF The
same race varies with the climate and
the qualities of the country. The Ger
mans of Tacitus, those Patagonians OF
Europe, are no longer found in civilized
and cultivated Germany, whilst the Hol-
lander, in the interior of the colony OF
the Cape, has become almost a giant.

the public as English originals. We
have lately seen letter from Mr.. Phil
ipps, who is now engaged at the Dub
lin theatre, in which he says he want
ed crack song for Carl Van Weber's
romantic opera of Der Freischutz, and
cit struck me that one composed by
Mr.. Gilfert, manager of the Charleston
theatre, on some occasion, and present
ed to me when I was last in New-York
would be just the thing, but was a.
fraid of the reception it might meet
with, fit was known to come from A
merica, so | resorted to the innocent
ruse de guerre of announcing it as the
production of Carl Ton effort of Prague,
and as such it is published, as you will
see by the copy send you. | was not
mistaken in my conjecture; the song
proved very effective and is never sung
without universal encore. The Dub
lin Journal in speaking of it says, "a
Hunting Polacca, not that sung by Bra,
ham, was introduced by Philips, bear
ing evident marks Of originality and
German origin, and is generally en-,
cored, sometimes more than once. 1t
has since been published with words
by Percy Farren, Esq. and has had a
most extensive sale" Now we really
hope, for the sake of consistency, that
the merits of this song will not be
much diminished with the European
public, when they discover that Car
Von Gilrort of Prague, is the child OF
pious deception, and owes his birth en-
tireIy to the happy conceit of Mr.. Phil
ipps, who we'll knew what would be
welcomed by his countrymen. The
real author ofthe fortunate song,i now
the actual American manager of the
theatre at Albany, and can at any time
produce, at pleasure, equally beautiful
compositions, without the prefix of
Carl or Won to his name

FROM RIO JANEIRO.

FROM uO JANElRO.
Norfolk, July 27.-Captain Heron OF
the brig Eliza Reilly, arrived at this
port from Rio Janeiro (whence she
sailed 18th ult.) informs, that the con-
templated expedition against Montevi,
do sailed from Rio on the 25th May
consisting Of 1000 troops; another ex.
petition was fitting out, which was ex'
pccted to sail in few days; the latter
would consist principally Of transpor,
vessels with stores and various muni-
tons of war. The conjecture was, that
WAR was inevitable between the Bra
lillian government and the Banda Ori-
entail
Letters from Rio received by COM
mercial gentlemen in this town, per the
Eliza Reilly, contain intelligence OF
considerable interest, under dates OF
9th and 18th June-Under that OF the
former the writer says--"Ihere re-
manning no prime flour in first hands,
this article will probably improve in
in price as soon as the stock from car
goes recently sold and now in the hands
of the bakers shall have been consumed.
We have met great difficulty in effect
ing sales OF some flour of Alexandria
cause not assigned. The stock OF
wheat in the market being immense
the bakers have occasion for American
-four to mix with it only, and unless OF
superfne quality, it does not answer
Sugars are very scarce and high.
"June llth-The flour in store there
is no demand for; indeed inferior will
not bring more than Alto 6 mrs. per
Dbl. in small lots-We do not consider
the market as justif!ing higher quota
tons than those annexed; cargo or
two of -four would render sales dull at
a lower price-Other articles must be
reported still less favorable-For soap
and Goldfish we are without an offer;
domestics are quite unsaleable; wines
are in somewhat more demand, owing
in part to an expectation that the duty
ON them will in few days be doubled
As respects the duties on other artl-
cles, we are as yet without positive In
formation as to what they may be put
at, or when the tariff will take effect
Our produce is in demand and by no
means plenty. Referring you to the
annexed circular, we have to remark
more particularly that Richmondtioar
has maintained its character to TINS
time; Virginia Hams, weighing from
10 to l4pounds, generally leave good
profit; they must not come in bags, as
the bags pay charge in the custom
house, more exhorbitant than the duty
on the ham.

nature and the injury to the public ser
vice, which disclosure might pro
duce, the publication of it might b.
highly improper; and, according tocir
cumstances, might bring on him thedan
ger of the legal charge Of sconaatou
conduct. But as to official communica
tons in general, not impressed with
this special character Of secrecy, there
is usually less delicacy or reserve con
corning them, than is customary with
the correspondence of private gentle
men; because the former are in some
sort public documents, and the same
motives of delicacy are not applicable
to them. The correspondence here
charged as published, without leave
was thought necessary to the exposi.
ton of some part of Commodore Por'
ter's conduct before the public; and,
he contends, there was no possible in
Jury to the service from its publication.
The defence concludes with an ana
lysis of the bearing of Mr.. Monroe's
deposition; and Of the motives which,
it is presumed, might have prompted
its production, 1t is supposed to have
been introduced, without any connection
or relevancy to any charge or specih-
cation: but merely to exc out the de-
fects of the existing charges and evil
dence, by throwing the weight Of MIR.
Monroe's character and opinion against
the accused: and thar, by ripping up
some old causes of dissatisfaction, sup
posed to have been long ago adjusted
and forgotten, the burthen Of explana-
ton and defence, as to points upon
which he is not accused,is thrown upon
him: The defence then proceeds to a
minute examination Of documentary
evidence to demonstrate the anabated
and efficient activity, zeal, and perse-
verance of Comm. Porter in the dis.
charge Of his arduous duties, during
the whole period, and upon every point,
wherein MIR. Monroe's deposition was
presumed to have made an opening for
blame or doubt upon Comm. Porter's
conduct. The short correspondence
between Comm. Porter and MIR. Mon
roe, in March last. after the latter had
retired from public life, is next COM
mented on. 1t is asked why was april
vate correspondence, merely concern
ing matters of personal civility from
one gentleman to another, deposited in
the Navy Department; and why brought
from thence? What crime or fault Of
any kind, does it prove! twas not in
tended to intimate any complaint OF
the surrender of this correspondence to
the purposes Of the posecution, since
the inoffensiveness of its contents was
obvious. Indeed it served to show how
securely he might challenge investiga-
ZION, since the most interruptions use
of his private correspondence, had
produced nothing of which he ought to
be ashamed; and if there were any
thing that he could have desired to ex-
plunge, the wish was dictated by a
feeling of pride, which he found it more
meritorious 10 rcspress, than to regret
the errors Of sentiment, into which he
had been unwittingly betrayed, by the
warmth of cordiality and his tenn
permanent.
