FRoM GREECE. E.--We learn by the way of
Corfu, that the Sultan has given positive or.
ders to Ibrahin Pacha, not by any means TO
leave the Morea. Intelligence has also been
received at Corfu, July 23, that twenty-five
vessels from Alexandria, laden with provisions,
and having troops on board, had entered the
port of Navarino. 1t is added that Ibrahim
Pdcha has sent troops into the interior Of the
Morea, TO cut the corn and carry of all the
cattle and that these troops have spread de-
vastation in every direction, and massacred
some Greeks. AS soon as this news arrived
the English and French Admirals proceeded
TO Navarino, with all the vessels under their
command. Veloy Boy, an Albancse Captain,
having placed himself at the head OF 5000
men, marched upon Arta, and after an assault
of several hours, took that fortress, and made
the Boy prisoner. lie then sent his brother. a
man Of great courage, a; the head of 1000
men, 10 Redshid Pacha's camp, TO demand OF
him G000 purses (about million Turkish pias-
tres) threatening, in case Of refusal, 10 sell
Arta 10 the Greeks, as well as Prcvesa, OF
which he was about TO tako possession. In
fact, he did march on Prevesa, and made him
self master Of il. He is now waiting to know
the result Of bis communication to Rsdschid
Pacha.

and taking indscriminately pointed and pow

this remedy will in great measure obvate. as
there will be nothing else necessary but the

A FIR AGNENT

'What lovely moonlight exclaim-
ed Maria, as Cynthia burst from a
cloud which had before hidden her
face, and poured her beams on street
and turret, park and battery otis
lovely, indeed said | 'and, apropos,
speaking Of moonlight, how delightful
it is for youth oppressed with pleas
ing pains, to sit beneath the moon near
the window Of his mistress, and give
voice to his feelings in a tender lay,'
'What nonsense,' she replied. Non
senses" asked, for a young man to
touch his guitar in the stiffness of the
nigh and add to its tones the praises
of his fair one? How sentimental! But
the savage watchmen are too tyranical.
How outrageous was the treatment
experienced by young gentleman
who was signing to his guitar, those
beaurifui words, Sleep on-sleep on,
my Cathleen DEAR And pray how
was he treated?' she asked. 'Why
when he was in the middle of his ditty,
and while his mistress was at her case
ment listening to the floating harmony
(probably sympathizing with the min
strcPs palms, the rude watchman seiz-
ed the songster by the cravat, and
dragged him to the watch house. Had
it been me, Maria, would have wrcst-
cd from him his pondcrous club, and,
by my gods, would have beaten him
to DEATH How delightful she ex-
claimed with a smile; the watchman
deserved the thanks Of the ladies ofthe
city, for making an example Of these
dlsturbers of the night--thesc lovers,
as they call themselves, who intrude
upon the slumbers ofany person that
happens to attract their notice. If
one Of these serenaders were seated
under my widow with his flute or his
guitar and his music, would pour a
pitcher of auater upon his head.! 'Oh

them.'-M Y Minerpa.

EDUCATION.

Degraded and degrading pauperism
will vanish-with crime-under the
genial influence ofvirtuc in union with
science. Every man, however hum
bic his lot, will be able to command
and to enjoy an intellectual feast at
every leisure moment: and even while
busily employed in his daily labors for
a subsistence, the great world Of mind
and matter-the grand volume of ma
ture, in all her varied beauty and
loveliness, is ever present to his view,
and admiration.
"Let knowledge be as free as the
air which we breathe-let it itailumine
the cottage as well as the palace let
it adorn, elevate, and dignity eve-
ry ihuman being-must be the Ian
guage and the wish Of every enlighten-
ed philanthropist.
The american System is now on
trial before the world. 1t remains to
be seen whether twelve millions of
people-or fifty millions-and we
shall soon be fifty millions-can exer.
else the rights and powers of sove-
reignty-can govern themselves-lve
in peace and safety, liberty and equal
ity. And if so, to solve the problem
of universal freedom and self.govern-
ment. For the American System will
if successful, become the system of
the world--I believe it will succeed.
The grand instrument, under God, Of
maintaining aid carrying it to pcriec-

JERVIS ROCKFORD,
HAIR DRESSER

~ RESPECTFULLY informs the public in
IL u general, that he has taken a room, in
Whitman's Block, No. 8, Westminster-street,
whore he has commodious accommodations
for Gentlemen's Hair Cutting, &c.
Permit him to say few words upon his pro
fesson.
Doctors Gall and Spurzhem have contend
ed that genius, taste, the passions and all that
belongs to the intellectual powers ofman, rest
upon the formation Of the cranium:-This may
be true-but with how much more truth can
it be said that the beauty Of " the human face
divine" depends upon that great feature Of
the countenance, the HAIR. Fashion has held
a constant reign, exhibiting all the varieties of
her power, over this vegetable of the human
head-now flowing in luxuriant ringlets, and
now shaven with ecclesiastical soemnty.-
Wigs were invented to 1--WE dignity to the wise
and the appearance Of gravity and wisdom to
the dull; but the age of wigs is gone forever
the owl of Minerva has moulted his feathers,
and fallen from her fane.-The present style
of moulding this feature has never been sur
passed-it has a classical origin, taken from
the antique crop seen on the Elgin marbles
and Roman coins, uniting Athenian grace
with Roman dignity, ,an is finely adapted to
the ball room or military parade. This art of
managing the hair" is one not learned in q
day, but requires skill and experience. The
rule is general but the application must be va
ried-ior delicate features, by help of this art,
can be built up into something of marital air
and severe limos of the countenance softened
down to sylvan simplicity. If any one doubt
whether this can be done, let him come and
test his skill. 6m nov 2I

A number of travellers and tourists

A number of travellers and tourists
when they alight at an inn, are in the
practice ofscratching theirnames, and
the date of their visit, on the window

written on the window of certain inn
in the Highlands, is the following jeu

that mode Of commemoration. One,
Of a party Of four, it would appear,

names Of his three comrades with the
month and year in which they had
made their visit. Immediately under

MY OWN THOUGHTS.

We have of late, seen innumerable
essays, hints in the garb Of gentle sa-
tire, and productions of every kind, all
of which tend to one great object,
namely, the improvement Of the fe-
male mind, and more decided at
tention to literary pursuits, than has
heretofore been devoted to them, by
our own sex and some kind writer,
not content that the charge of being
illiterate should be thrown entirely
on US, has ventured to suggest that a
little improvement in such matters,
could do no great harm to the gentle
men. 1t certainly would be presump-
tuous in us to contradict such an opin-
ion. We do not expect that every
gentleman should be a Newton or a
Franklin, a Sydney or an Addison ;
that they should make astronomy their
peculiar study, or dive, one and all,
into the labyrinthian pages Of a Coke
or Blackstone. We 10 not expect
them all TO be able to rccite Homer
in the original, or that each should
drink inspiration from the Castalian
stream, and touch, with a masters
hand, Apollo's golden Lyre. Such
expectations would be equally futile
and unreasonablc---nature has not
endowed every mind with the power
OF arriving at pre-eminent excellence,
and we cannot expect to live in a
world peopIed by sages, philosophers,
poets and orators but while those Of
the other sex, are laboring for the i'm
proyement of ours, and while we &C
knowledge those DEFICIENCIES which
call for all their exertions, while we
confess that the prospect Of deserving
their appreciation is sufficient to slim
ulate us to every endeavor, we can
not avoid recurring to a common, but
very appropriate saying, which init
mates that "cxample is better than
precepts," and we cannot help wish
ing that the gentlemen would bestow
some portion Of their precious time in
acquiring such knowledge as may en-
able them to instruct as well as amuse
us by their conversation. It is not
necessary that they should all be deep
ly learned, for though ga little learn
ing is dangerous thing" it must be
acknowledged that a little is better
than none, and little, in some hands
may go a great way. A competent
knowledge Of The history of different
nations, of their laws, customs, man
ners, &c. with a correct view ST each,

ton, and the elegance Of their man.
ners, if we were convinced that mere
personal beauty, unaccompanied by
these, could make no lasting impress
sion, or secure the regard of the 9TH
er sex, the conviction would have
tendency TO increase our respect for
them, and stimulate us to the exer-
tions necessary to deserve theirs.-
And if every female could not expect
to become De Stael, a Scvigne, a
More, Barbauld, or an Edgcworth,
we should at least be more like ra-
tional beings than we have hitherto
been considered; and if the power Of
acquiring elegant accomplishments is
denied US, we may still acquire that
useful knowledge, which may take
from us the reproach Of ignorance.

written, and said on the subject, this
