lature could not have been aware.of this, as Mr.
Silsbee was chosen by majority of only three
votes in the Senate, and comparatively very
small majority in the House, There were three bal

given in. and only 20l members present 1t

two numbers would affect the state Of the ballot,

Mr.. Webster received great portion OF the votes
which were given against MIR. Ssbee; and it is in

FROM MEssURADo.

Letters have been received at Newport from tic
African Colony at Cape Measurable dated 18Th
| A pril last, which give the following melancholy
OF the fate Of several colored emigrants
from that town: That the colonists arrived there
| after pleasant passage of about weeks from
Bos,on and after being there ten fifteen days
several were attacked with the fever OF the coun-
,rv: that Newport Gardner, Johu s. Nuba. Albania
Gardner and the wife and OF John Chevers, had
died.
We have always, says the Newport Mercury,
disapproved OF encouraging he emigration OF the
black population OF the northern states to Africa
and the result has tended to confirm our opinions,
that no practical benefits could arise from sending
them to that sickly and inhospi,sble climate The
emicrants from this town were among the most re-
snectable and industrious of our colored population
most OF them comfortably situated, and several
were owners of houses and land. In evil hour
they were induced by the Agen, of the American
Colonization Society TO emgrate TO Africa; and the
results, that already more than one quarter of the
number have persisted almost as they reach
ed its shores. ". y. Gd=.

letters from Missolonghi to the 9th of April, which
confirm the accounts of the repulse Of the Turks

have been known with how much loss. One Of the
letters is from a Greek General, who states thai
the Pacha OF Pleya, Sadick-B ey and Adm Bey
were killed, and estimates the whole loss OF the
Turks al 5000. The place still invested y the
Turks. The Turkish feet had also been repulset
in attempt to take possession of a small Isant

| Death Of Rishkauko. The celebrated chief oil
the Chippawas found Dead in one ofthe cells oil
the prison of this city, on wednesday morning last
lie was confined, on a charge of being accessory
to the murder of Saginaw Indian in his place, in
January last His eldes, still occupies one OF
the cells, under the charge OF being the murderer OF
the Indian alluded 10. An Inquest was held ON the
body OF kishkauko, and the jurors returned yer
dict that he died a natural death. But little doubt
however, remains, from what has since beea.ss-
certained, that he died by poison, procured 1t his
own request, BY Of his wives.
1t Is stated that the evening previous to his
death, he visited by this woman who handed
him small cup, and then left the cell That suon
after, number of his family, and the band of
which he was the immediate head called upon
him. held long conference, and took leave with
solemniiy, eaInes;ness and affection never OBJ
served in THEN previous visits Kshkaulto, then re
quested the ailor TO visit him, with whom he shook
hands atiecrionaely, thanked him, and concluded
by asking for liquor, which he had never
been known 10 do before. IL tue Heorning, ii an
early hour, number og his family, men aud yYo-
men, appeared at the Jail and requested to see
kishkauko.
On approaching the door of the cell, they called
his name two OF three times, and finding him life
less, they expressed eXutstion rather than SURPRISE
and immed'a ely leii town for Saginaw A few
remained 10 perform the ceremonies OF his luneral
whioh took place by moonlight, at farm near
this city.
Thus has persisted of the most despo.ic and
influential savage monarchs of modern times. He
had risen, by the force of his own character from
humble origin. to The head Of a numerous and
powerful hippewa famiir. Kshkauko was man
OF very large stature, muscular, and athletic and
his coun,enance exhibited the peculiar traits Of his
Character, sternness, acateness, and decision His
history, like that of other warriors is marked with
many atrocicus murders; but he had the virtues also
OF the savage. No man went from his door naked
or hungry, when it was in his power to supply him
But his acts OF tyranny rendered him unpopular
among his own people, and he never appeared
abroad without considerable re,inue. He was
scarcely ever seen in this town withou, his war axe
resting on his left arm; firmly srasped with his right
hand. Ga=ete.
