One of the Editors of the N. y American (noyy
at Washington in one of his Caficature Sketches
OF the state OF things and parties there, describes
" the opposition" principally confined TO the
" Senate, the more arfstocratic branch, and which
represents the States Committees or Corpora
tions, and not the people" The predictions Of
Patrick Henry are rapidly fulfilling. He foretoId
that the States would dwindle into petty coypola-
tiOns, with powers to take care of their poor build
bridges, cut roads, &c. Even this latter power Is
now shared with them by the aafiO7iQl government.

- We have received papers of the Mexican capital
down to the 18th January, and the Alvarado
-3fercuri0 to the 9th ult.
II is suggested in them that the Colombian 90
yernment could not have invited the British cabinet
TO send an agent TO the Congress of Panama; cir
cumstance which had been stated in the Paris min
isterial journals. The tone of the Mexican writers
the subject is strong. They assert that Great
Britain has nothing TO do with the objects of the
Congress; deny that Colombia has any right TO
take the lead, or act without the concurrence of
the other States; and bold this language besides
'' II Colombia has involved herself in this invi-
fasion with much readiness facility she has
concluded her treaties with Great Britain, it will
not be long before she repents of having COM
initted the administration of her affairs to who
not their guard against the consequences of
precipitation Excessive gratitude may conduct
Colombia to the same slavery from which she has
enaneipated herself by efforts so heroie.''
Blu, the article most worthy Of notiee.is the fol-
lowing contained in the aguiia JMeziedrG.
cit is said, very generally, that the Senate has
agreed to authorize the Executive government of
the Union to join with the Repubc Of Colombia,
in assisting the inhabitants Of Cuba 10 achieve
their independence This measure does honor to
the Senate, and is sufficient, Of itself, TO stir the
fire of liberty which is cherished in the bosoms Of
the inhabitants Of Cuba, and to strike their OPP
pressors with terror. 1t appeared TO be full time
for the Congress of Mexico TO give such authority
TO the Executive, as would enable it TO Illustrate
in the most prudent and sensible manner, those
schemes Of aggression, which may be formed
against America by her odous enemies, and Of
which the island Of Cuba will be fulcrum. -Four
thousand men have just arrived at the island, and
more troops may successfully arrive, to the point
ofexciting dsquetude in our continent. This sf-
fair Of Cuba is one ofihe most delicate which we
have to handle in the present state Of the political
regeneration Of America. II is Of such nature,
in our opinion, that it admits of no compromise.
The Spanisrds must either evacuate the island, or
war must be interminsble. The chosen people OF
the Lord cannot live in peace while the soldiers OF
Nebuchsdnezzar are encamped at the gates of the
Holy City. Such is Havsns with regard to the
new States Of America, especially Mexico.

REFLECTIONS ON MARRIAGE.-Didy young
people seriously consider the important
change which marriage must necessarily
produce in their situation, how much more
cautious would it make them in their choice
Of a companion for life. Alas what will
avail the graces Of the finest figure, the
most captivating address, or the assemblage
Of all that is ensnaring, il the heart 10 de-
PRAYED, or the conduct imprudent The
gayest associate Of the conviyal hour may
be the dullest, the most unfit company for
the domestic circle and he who is never
satisfied but when he is in 4 crowd, or when
engaged in scenes Of pleasure, is very un-
likely to make tender or prudent hus-
band-should sickness or distress draw
near, depend upon it he would fly from
their approach. If beauty alone excited
his passion, it would cease to exist when
you are deprived Of those attractions on
which it was founded. If fortune was his
inducement, that will likewise lose its val
ue in his sordid mind, and the very person
who brought him the wealth for which he
sighed, will be considered as the grand OBJ
stacle to his enjoyment. Too often is this
unpleasant picture to be seen in many dis
contented families, which little serious
reflection might have prevented being 80
unfortunately realized. Never be provail-
ed upon to yield your heart to any one, how
ever he may shine in the gay circles of the
world, if you are convinced that he has no
relish for a retired life. The man who
likes every house better than his own, will
scarcely take the trouble Of making his
home agreeable to others whilst it is dis.
gusting TO himself 1t will be the only
place in which he will give way to his dis
content and i'll humour. Such people are
for ever strangers to the dear delights Of
the social state, and all the real comforts of
a well-regulated family. He that is indis-
criminately at home, is never at home, and
he feels himself stranger or visitor a.
midst his closest conneXions.-MRs. BoN-
HOTE.

tnrned his sooty face, and fixing his eyes
upon her, regarded her Tor few seconds
with attention, then springing up, exclalm-
ed, My mother that's my mother ~ and
in an instant was in her arms. The affec-
tionate and astonshed Mary, on hearing his
voice, in a moment recognized her boy,
and clasped him to her bosom but she
could not speak, till flood Of tears having
relieved her almost bursting heart, she gave
utterancc to her feelings.
Alter the confusion, and agitating sensa-
tioh, which this unexpected rencontre had
6ccasioned amongst both actors and spec
tators, were in some degree subsided, the
master of the boy, who was present, was
particularly questioned how he came by
him His account was as follows he was
walking on his business, in the neighbor-
hood Of Sleaford, where he resides, when
he met ragged woman, with little boy,
whom she was beating most numerically.
On inquiry, she told him that she was in
great distress that she had long way to
go, and the boy, her son, was very obsti-
nate, and that she did not know how to get
along with him This led to further con-
versation, which ended in her offering to
sell the boy to him as an apprentice, for
twoguineas. The bargain was soon struck,
and the lad was regularly bound, the wo-
man making oath to his being her own son.
There did not appear to be any reason for
questioning the account of the master, es-
pecially as it was corroborated by the boy,
with this addition, that the woman was
beating him so numerically, as she had
frequently done before, because ne would
not call her mother.
The story soon became generally known
in the place, and through the exertlons OF
Mr.. Wellbourne and others, subscription
was raised for poor Mary and the little
chimney sweeper, who was soon cleaned,
clothed and transformed into very dlfie-
rent looking little being

BLUE BEARD AND HIS CASTLE.

The ruins Of the Chateau de la Verriere,
on the banks Of the Erdre, in the depart-
ment of Loire Inferieure, are, according to
the tradition of the neighbouring peasantry,
those of the Castle Of the celebrated Blue
Beard, the hero Of the well known nursery
tale. This formidable parsonage, who is
not altogether mere creation of fancy,
was Giles de Retz, who lived in the reign
Of Charles VII. and was a vassal of John
v. Duke of Bretagne. He was tried at
Nantes on suspicion of having destroyed
number of children who had been seen to
enter the castle, and were never heard Of
afterwards. The bodies OF several were
afterwards found, he having caused them
to be put to death to make Use of their
blood in writing charms and forming incan-
tations to raise internal spirits by whose
means, he believed, according to the hor.
rible superstitions Of the times, that buried
treasures would be revealed to him.-On
his trial he confessed the most horrid acts
Of atrocity, and was sentenced to be burnt
alive but the Duke caused him to be
strangled before he was tied to the stake.
This execution took place December Goth,
1440, and detailed account OF It is still
preserved in Ms. in the archives of NaH
tes.
