MADAGASCAR.

We see in great many papers an article
which the National Gazette quotes from the
Sydney Gazette as something very curious
aad interesting, 1t informs us that certain
Captain Barnes had undertaken 1.-The arduOus
task of penetrating into the Interior parts of
Madaga>c ?; h t il was not without cOnside-
rabte ditfiCu.ty that he obtained permission to
proceed to the capital of Rddama, the king of
the whole island. situated near 500 miles in
the interior - that ''this journey over a coun-
try never before passed by an European, It's
almost trackless wastes. and over mountains
and mOrasses of indiscribable difficulty, he ef-
fected in safety; and on reaching the capital
he was received with great courtesy by Ra-
dana, with whom he became so great fav-
orite that he stayed with him for five months,
sc.
Now, after reading all this would one sup
pose that English missionaries and an agent
of the British government, had resided at this
same capital of king Radama, for several years
that they had all been great favorites with
him, and that the missionaries had two years
ago. established 80 schools under his patron
age?
We mention this to show that those who
would keep along with the geographical dis
coveries of the present enterprising age.
must pay some attention to the proceed

MISS FRANCES WRlGHT.-1his English
woman. who published book of travels thro
the United States, some years since, has be-
come editor of the New Harmony Gaz-tte.in
Indiana (thc paper established by Robert o.
wen) and is promulgating the principles ofin
fidelity, and writing against marriage. She
would have no marriage ties, but all thing
common; would let a man and woman live
together rs long as they please, and separate
when they choose and it is said that her
practise has been in conformity t. her abom
Unable principles. The following communi-
cation from a lady in NewYork appears in
the CONNIE rcial Advertiser. The correspond

in that city.
Miss Frances Wright, although certainly &
morally wrong, has,l am sorry to learn, thrown
off all the restraints belonging to decent soci-
ETY., and appears as one OF the editors of the
New Harmony Gazette. From the extracts
that have seen from that work. one letter
to the editor of the Correspondent, land what
ponuan in this country would he willing to risk
her reputation by such correspondence J! APP
pears that her theory is in keeping with
what private scandal has said finer practises.
Not to mention the style Of the letters, (for
that is too rg-ma-role and bad to comment
upon.) the subject is such that no female of
the least delicacy or propriety of conduct, or
feeling would ever suffer it to occupy her
thoughts. 1t gricves me- the more to see a
woman had always considered as having ia
Tents. and one who has been caressed by the
higher orders of society, SO lamentably fallen.
What a melancholy picture of poor human
nature when left to itself, or, what is worse,
ind the influence of one, who was traitor
from the beginning. Proud am I. that she is
not an American; and may the God that has
protected this happy land. preserve
my conntrywomen from falling into s. miar
