INCENDIARY ATTEMPT.

An attempt was made on Sunday night, by
some vile incendiary, to burn the British Ship
Elizabeth, Capt Atherden lying at Brownies
wharf. The fire in the camboose having been
carefully extinguished, by order OF Capt A. at
so'clock in the evening, and not spark left in
any apartment of,he Ship, there can be no
doubt that it was the work OF some abandoned
wretch. The Captain and crew being asleep
below, were aroused about IL o'clock, by some
person repeatedly hailing the Ship, and going
upon deck, they discovered the camboose house
in flames and nearly consumed, the combings
of the hatch were also much burnt, and haw-
ser coiled near it, so much injured as to be un-
fit for any purpose.
The alarm was given at most opportune
moment, as two barrels of Rosn, and one OF
Tar lay very near the hatch, and which being
once ignited would have burnt with such rapid
ity as 10 render almost hopeless any attempt to
save the vessel while the lives of all on board
would probably have fallen sacrifice to this
miscreant attempt.

FROM SMYRNA.

Extract of letter from Smyrna to gentleman in Phi,
ladelphia, dated the 18th November
I" 1t is reported that the new Egyptian expe.
dition has proceeded against Missionghi, TO
renew the attack upon that fortress-and we
momcntly expect information from thar QUAR-.
ter.
GA French sloop of war has just brought in
Tartar from Modon, sent from Ibrahim Pa.
cha to the Porte, with seyen thousand human
ears. the result Of his victories in the Morea!
"Accounts from Gambia are favorable 20 the
Greeks. 1t appears that island has again re.
volted-many of the strong places are still in
the hands Of Turks. L. is expected the Greek
fleet will so to the relief of MissiIonghi."
There is peculiarly in the Grecian charac.
ter which fey nations-none other probably
are capable Of assuming. We approach it,
view it, but shrink back from even thought OF
initiating its sublimity, with reverentiaI awe.
1t is empha,ically and appropriately demomi-
mated the SPARTAN CHARACTER. Two thousand
three hundred and six years ago, Leonidas the
king of Lacedemon, with three hundred cho.
sen Sparlans, took leave Of friends and kindred.
and resolved TO die rather than submit 10 the
dictation of Xerxes, who had offered him the
kingdom of Greece if he would not oppose his
views. The Spartan heroes met the egions of
Xerxes at the pass of Thermopyle, and before
the engagement Leonidas thus addressed his
little band ''Dne heartily, for you are TO sup in
tie realms Of Pluto" But one man esca peds
from the battle, who was treated with reproach-
es for ingloriously flying from battle in which
his prince and companions had persisted How
we'll this Spartan character is sustained even to
the present day let the following testify:
Baltimore Patriot.
Zante, Nov. l6-The intrepid defenders Of
Missolonghi, perceiving that they are on the
point of being attacked by sea and land, have
resolved to sacrifice their lives for their coun-
try, and have taken last farewell of the world
amidst religious ceremonies, after general
review, iu which the chief embraced the sol.
diers, at the same time the Bishop giving them
his benediction, sprinkling the holy water OH
their standards, which were decorated with
crowns of laurel. AT the same time were EN-.
barked for Zante and Cephalonia, the archives
of the government, as well as the old men,
women aud children-the separation caused
the greatest grief All communication is still
open with Missolonghi, by sea and land, and
numerous bodies Of troops have entered, as
we'll as great quantity of provisions. They
will defend the batteries inch by inch, as there
is no hope of retreating.

Chambers, and received the royal sanction, 1t
;s obvious that precise and conclusive answers
to the questions you have stated, cannot be OBJ
tanned. In order, however, to procure all the
information which can be had, in the present
state ofthe business, l addressed letter to Mr.
Wante. Director OF the Bureau of the St. Do
mingo indemnities, and requested him to an
swer the following inquiries:
|. Will the indemnity be confined to the SUBJ
ects of France only, or will it be extended TO
former colonists of St Domingo, citizens or
subjects of other States?
3. What is the proof required of the nature
and ownership ofthe property OF which the sui
ferers have been deprived, and OF its value!
3. What proof is requird Of the identity OF
the sufferers?
In the event Of the death of the coonlst
who owned the property, at the tlme oil ihe re-
volution, to whom is payment TO DE maae-o
the heirs or to the personal representatives:
5. What proof is required OF the succession!
s. When, and how, will payment be made!
2. What is the Limitation OF time within
which claims must be exhibited and established!
8. What forms are required for authentlcat-
| ing testimony?
The propriety Of making the first inquiry was
suggested by hint had received from gen
tleman who appeared to be we'll acquainted with
the views Of the commission, and who was in
clined 10 think that, following the precedent
established by the law making indemnity to the
emigrants, all those who had renowned or Tor
feited the character of French subjects, would
be excluded from any share in the distribution.
BY the laws of France, the loss Of citizenship
does not, as believe, occasion forfeiture Of
property, and as the indemnity was stipulated
for as compensation for the property taken
from the colonists, it would seem but just that
all the sufferers should share in the distribution
of it. IT all those who have become citizens OF
the United States shall be excluded from the
benefits of the indemnity, it is Of some impor-
lance that they should be apprized Fit, In or
der that they may avoid the trouble and eX-
pense of laying in their claims.
Mr.. Wante has, with great promptitude and
politeness, favored me with his answer, and
also sent me copies Of the rules laid down by
the commission, which have now the honor
to transmit TO you. These will give you all the
information on the subject which, in the pre-
sent state of the affair, can be obtained. Its fu-
ture progress shall not, however, escape my at
tention; and l shall not fail to apprize you in
due time of any ulterior measures which may
be adopted in relation to it.

sir, your most obedient and very humble SER

GENEROUS ACTION.

The conduct OF the master of Norwegian
vessel towards an English vessel in distress, as
described in the following extract of letter
from the agent to Lloyd's at Christian,and,
dated Nov. %, is highly praiseworthy, and de-
serving OF imitation by all nations:-"Thc
schooner Ann, Of Banf, William M'Pherson,
master, from Hamburger to Harwich, when "a
bout 100 English miles west of the Maze of Nor
way, was, during bad weather, obliged to cut a
way her foremost, bowsprit, sc. and was driv-
ing about in that situation, when the next morn
ing the Norwegian brig Aurora, MUNICH, mas
ter, from the Mediterranean bore down to the
Ann, and after several hours attempt, during
strong gale, succeeded in getting hawser on
board, and brought her into neighboring har-
Dor. Captain Munich has in the most handsome
manner refused TO have any remuneration for
his services, as he states-"that he has only
performed duty which sailors should expect
from each other" Capt Munich could lawful
ly insisted on one third of the value Of the yes
sci and cargo, together about 1900 sterling,)
circumstanced as the Ann was when he fell in
with her.
On the Dist Dec. a steamboat and frigate
passed the Grand Canal Of North Holland, on
their way to New Dieppc. This passage is
made with the greatest facility, the vessels 60
ing at the rate of five or six knots.
The eccentric Mr.. R. Minister of Jed.
burgh, had habit Of asking so many questions
in breath, that he could get reply to none
of them. Once, however he had met with
person who was able to accommodate him.
Riding home from Sacrament, by muirland
road, and coming towards ford, he met wo-
man who had crossed the river with a sack of
meal upon her back, whom he thus accos,ed.
"Weel, Janey, how's a wi you? How far is it
to Jeddart?-How deep is the water What's
the price of your meal?" To which she replied,
"Vera weel, thank you, Sir-twa mile-mid
die deep-and saxpence."

late panic in the money market which has almost para
lived every kind of business and has caused such sin
gular and unprecedented stagnation in trade The
distress of capitalists and moncd institutions has not
been confined to any single state in our confederacy

the oldest and wealthiest foreign countries And 1t
will not be considered matter of surprise, that the
same causes which have induced so recently the post.
ponement of the drawing of an important lottery should
have similar effect on one ofmuch greater magnitude
But is hoped that happy change for these reverses
has already commenced and that all classes OF our ct-
zens in every part of the Union will soon participate IN
the returning tide prosperity. The scheme now Of
ered is by far the most attractive and splendid OF any
presented to the public in the United States and
many, very many who adventure therein will certainly
be rewarded with prncey fortunes or handsome addi-
tons to what they already possess.
Those who have not yet taken interest in this Lot
ery now have additional opportunity offered them;
and they are respectfully reminded, that by promptly
purchasing chances in this most splendid scheme they
will insure an early distribution Of the rich przesit con-
tains-as the lottery shall positively be drawn soon

in cash Immediately after the drawing; all persons
therefore are invited to forward and take ticket
or share at either OF the managers offices; where all
applications personal per letter. will at any time be
promptly attended to by the publcs obedient servant
