r5.PUrFING The writer Of the commune
cation, which will be found 10 follow, will ex-
cuse us,for omitting the Latin quotation which
was at tho head Of it. Notwithstanding it is
a very appropriate motto, its extreme common
ness renders it rather offensive. II has been
used ever since the days of the first Jewish
feast Of the Pentecost, and is as familiar to
every printers devil, as was the fourth chap

To those, who can swallow the norceau Of
fattcry and adulation, which is sometimes pre-
pared by sycophan,ic quill-driycr, there must
belong a more than ordinary appetite for noio-
riety. else they would refuse tho prolered da in
ty and rebuke tho avidity cf the cNcrer. We
make these remark, in allusion to the notice Of
the Hon. John Holmes visit to this town for the
purpose Of entering his son member Of Brown
University. This annuncation Of gentleman
on business which interests the public so little,
as the entrance Of son in college to our sense
Of propriety, appears perfectly ridiculous. II
may be, however, that the title Of Honorable
has sufficient weight,to demand such an adver-
ticement TO The public, but II would sesm that

Four of the frigates, were in fact, "a gun
ships, and there were forty transports
moored behind the line Of battle. The
following is a statement of the enemy's
fleet One Turkish line of battle ships
burned two others driven on shore wrecks
-one double frigate sunk :; one on shore,
wreck; two burned-ffteen frigates bur-
ned and sunk; three on shore wrecks !;
one on shore, mast standing--ffteen COR
vettes burned and sunk four on shore,
wrecks-nine briggs burnt and sunk one
on shore mast standing; six fire ships de-
stroyed, and two transports. OF the sixty
vessels of war only eight are left aAoat.
A Liverpool paper remarks,
"By this action the die is cast. The
Porte must either submit to the terms of
The Allies, or see all the poor remnant of
her navy destroyed, and the troops in the
Morea cut of from their resources. The
infant navy of the Pacha Of Egypt is in
volved in the ruin Of the Turkish feet
Whether Ibrahim Pacha and the Capita
ma Bey will now restrain their troops, or
furious at their loss, will give further
loose to their rage, it is difficult to coniec-
ture, We should imagine it impossible to
support the $4,000 Egyptinn and Turkish
troops in the Morea during the winter when
the supplies by sea are cut off"
Rumors are afoat, that the Ambassadors
were imprisoned at Constantinople.
The conduct of the Allied squadrons
appear to have been approved by the
British government. Admiral Codrington
was promoted to the Order of the Bath, &
the commanders of the British ships, to
the rank of Post Captains. Apprehen-
sions existed that the British merchants in
Turkey would suffer vengeance from the
Porte, and the trade with that country
would be entirely interrupted.
Three or four ships of the line, were
ordered to proceed Immediately from Eng
land to join Admiral Codrington in the
Mediterranean; and an additional French
force of the line, frigates and corvettes
was ordered to sail from Brest and Tou-
lon for the Levant,

bey, as well as to all the other Turkish
Chiefs, that If one single musket or can
non shot be fred on ship or boat of
the Allied Powers, we shall Immediately
destroy the other vessels as well as the
forts of Navarino, and that we shall con-
slider such new act Of hostility as formal
declaration of the Porte against the three
Allied Powers, and of which the Grand
Seignorand the PaohaS must suffer the ter
rible consequences.
But if the Turkish Chiefs, acknowledge
ing the agressions they have committed by
commencing the firing, abstain from any
act OF hostility, we shall resume these
terms of good understanding which they
have themselves interrupted. In this case
they will have the white flag hoisted on all
the forts before the end Of this day. We
demand a categorical answer, without eva
sion, before sunset.
Signed by English, French and Russian
Admirals.
Four Letters are then given in tn" Ga
zette, the first and second Of which are
from Sir Edward Codrington to Count
Holden and the Chevaler de Rigney, the
Russian and French Admirals, returned
their thanks for their able support in the
action. Admiral de Rigney's answer is
in very friendly tone, and says that Sir
Edward Codrington "set them the exam
pie: they could not do better than to fol-
low it," The French Admiral also writes
commenting the gallant conduct of Capt.
Davies, of the Rose, and Capt. Fellows
Of the Dartmouth, the former of whom
helped to rescue the Armide frigate from
dangerous position, aud the latter of
whom attacked and turned off the fire
ships ready to bear down on the French.
Admiral de Rigney was on board the Sy-
rene frigate, not havingbee able to bring
his own ship into the action.
The total killed in the British feet in
the above action, was IS; wounded 1877.
In the French feet, As killed ~ severely
wounded. 1t does not appear from the
despatch that the Russians suffered much.
The Turks are said to have fought with
great bravery and desperation, and their
less was terrific. In one of their largest
ships $50 men were killed, and in another
4OO.--They set fire to their ships rather
than surrender them, and nearly the whole
feet was destroyed without any being cap
tured. The allied fleets carried 1860, and
the Turkish 1918 guns--the former how
ever had an advantage in weight of men,
tai, and the latter had the assistance of the
batteries on shore.
The following is synopsis Of the forces:

their conference.
Considering that after the provisional
supervision of hostiities to which Ibrahim
consented in his conference of September
25th. with the English and French Admit

Russian Admiral, the said Pacha did the

causing his feet to come oui, with view
to its proceeding to another point in the

MAHOGANY.

The Mahogany Tree cannot be exceiled
in magniicence and grandeur Of appear
ancc by any of the known productions of
the earth of its class, and could the largest
of the oak, which species is usually styled
the king of the forest, be exhibited in COM
petition, it would dwindle to insignifcance
in the comparison; the enormous size and
height of the trunk, the uncommon spread
of the branches, the space of ground occu-
pied by the roots, altogether convey to the
mind the idea, that it was designed by Ma
ture for the use of race, of more colossal
proportion than the present; the ingenuity
and perseverance of man has, however, OBJ
waited all the difficulties, and reduced the
almost apparent impossibility of appropria-
ting tohis use, tree, which, it would appear,
| has, by Nature, been made of too great a
size to be brought within his power. Com
merce has also made mahogany, from being
an article scarcely known, to be of one of
necessity throughout Europe, and great
part of America. This tree belongs to the
class Decandria Monogynia, and in botany

! 1t becomes almost impossible to give the
more minute circumstances attending the
growth of this valuable and much used
tree, as its progress to maturity is scarcely
perceptible within the life of man; but as
far as our limited observation will allow us
to form an opinion, not less than an aver
age period of t,co hundred gears can be al
lowed as the time of its coming to full
growth, or fit for cutting.

ETERNITY. That inc conception of eter-
nifty may be more distinct and affecting, it
Is useful to represent it under some resem-
blances that sensibly, though not fully, rep
resent 1t. Suppose that the vast ocean
were distilled drop by drop, but so slowly
thet thousand years should pass between
every drop, how many millions of years
were required to empty it? Suppose this
great world in its full compass, from one
pole to another, and from the top of the
armament to the bottom, were to be filed
with tho enaollost Dand, L,.t So slowly tiiat
every thousand years only single grain
should be added, how many millions would
pass away before it were filled? If the
immense superfices of heaven, wherein are
innumerable stars, tie least Of which equals
the magnitude of the earth, were filed with
figures of numbers without the least vacant
space, and every figure signifed a million,
what created mind could tell their numbers,
much less their value! Having these
thoughts reply-the sea will be emptied
drop by drop, the universe filled grain by
grain, the numbers written in the heavens
will come to an end, and how much of eter-
nifty is then spent? Nothing, for still inf
nitely more remains.

THE TRUE SECRET OF NEW ENGLAND's
STRENGTH.

THE TRUE SECRET OF NEW ENGLAND's
STRENGTH.
There are some things which are calcu-
lated to disquiet the spirit of native of
New England, who loves the land of his
birth-the dwelling place of his fathers,
and the inheritance he has received from
them. He looks upon the map of the Unit
ed States, and sees that New England oc-
cupies but small portion, a rough and
cold corner Of it; while the sister States
and the other sections of the nation are
spreading out widely, and are still more
widely spreading themselves out, under a
more genial sky, reposing, in greater fer
.tility, in milder climate, holding out most
fiattering invitations to the enterprising,
promising to crown the labors of the hus-
bandman with most liberal reward, and
: waiting down the broad rivers the annual
increasing burden Of their productions and
he then looks forth upon the rugged sur
face of his own New England he hears
the blast that sweeps over her frozen hills
in winter; and, in spring, listens to the
roar of the mountain streams as they rush
down the narrow valleys; and even, if, ir
summer, he sees a cornfeld, or pasturei il
valley, or on hill side, its size is any
thing but fattering to his pride, and al
best, it seems to have been wrested by
force out of the hand of frowning and saw
age nature: and, seeing this contrast
were 1t not for that sentiment which has
been most wisely and benevolently
PLANTED in man to bind him to that earth,
In strongest ties, frum which he drew his birth,
