Her neck without shawl;
And her feet with mere half-stockings,
Or almost none at all
And that fiute-ike voice upraised
To quite another pitch
Her head tossed back-and an "Iwont sew,

The family of the late Gen. Brown,
left Washington city on Monday last,
for their future residence at Browns
Vile, in the state of New York. This
interesting family, and especially the
amiable relct of our interesting friend,
carry with them the warmest esteem,
as we'll as the sympathy of the whole
society of this city, where they have
made sincere friends of all who have
known them. 1t is an act of kind Ii

MR.. MONROE.

It appears by an address which the citizens of Al
bemare (yir have made to the public, that the n.
nal blow has been struck upon the property OF Mr..
Monroe, and that in consequence, houseess and
nennyless he has left that neghborhood and sup
nose state We have for some time understood that
this result was inevitable and that he would be ob
Iliged to leave place which has been his residence
Imr fftv years. 1t is net therefore improbable that
Ihc has or may become n resident of this city, where
also resides one of his daughters, married to Samu-

have not seen without efforts to arrest it, the caam-

panied with minute and interesting facts, showing
the pecuniary sacrifices made by Mr.. Monroe, du-
ring half a century of public service at home and
abroad. 1t is yet the object aud the hope OF the
citizens of Albermarle, that Legislative aid will be
extended in a case iraught with SO much personal
hardship. not in the way Of grant or pension, but
as a remuneration for osses actually sustained by
Mr. Monroe, while in the public employ. OF the

MEXICO.

Notwithstanding the contiguty of Mexico to the
United States, very little 10 be known by the 4
mass of people concerning it. The present Repuh
lie of Mexico is composed of the provinces vi the
ancient Vceroyalty of New Spain, Of fucatan, Of
the Commandances of the eastern and western in
ternal provinces, and of Chiapa. The capital of
Mexico is situated in an elevated valley Of near
5000 feet above the level of the sea, and was for
mery surrounded by a salt lake. (TcZencu,) but at
an incredible expenditure of tine and money they
have succeeded in draining it, lcavlnga marsh--va-
rving from two to five miles IN width. Here per
peual Sprng-like temperature relgns. owing to its
elevation and is free from what would be the noy
ious exhalatons of marsh if situated in the same lat
itude on the coast, but throughout the valley Of
Mexico the air is particularly salubrious, the nhab-
tants attaining to as great longevity as any in the
world. The population othe City Is similar to that
of New, York. being about 100000 souls, otwhom
$4,000 are clergy. or attached to religious houses
The Road from Vera Cruz is extremely rough and
precipitous in many places almost impossible
to Acapulco, the nearest port on the Pacific. the
route is one Of gentle decyity--Ihe distance from
Vera Cruz is 205 and Acapulco 19S miles Accor-
ding to Humboldt. the old city was founded in 1925
on an Island in the Lake Teucuco. AT the time
Cortez conquered it, three fourths of the city was
destroyed, both victor and vanqushed uniting in the
work of destruction it is from its ruins the present
Spanish city has arisen one OF the grandest and mos
streets of the modern city are all laid out at rish
angles, and in the centre is large square, where
formerly stood the great Mexican temple, upon the
ruins of which the present Cathedral is built, the
foundation being laid of Mexican idols. On The
east side is the palace built by Cortez 700 feet long
terminating at the corner of the square leading t,
the market. The streets are well paved and hav,
tagged walks of iiatstone-'lhe public edllices ant
churches are vast and splendid and the private
dwellings have magnificent appearance, being usu

dows ornamened with iron balconies. There ar
not less than l05 cupolas. domes or spires in tn
limits of the city But ignorance with all its aten
dant debasing concomitants. is the character of tn
mass of the population. The country possesses sue
vast resources together with the saubrty of the eli
mate, that, ifinhabed by people endowed with til
intelligence and enterprise of the English Amer
cans, Il use the term in contradstinction to SPANS
Americans,) it would without any doubt be one
the greatest and consequently one of the most res

From the New- York .Advoc0fe.

1t IS said that several prominent Massachusetts,
Federalists about to make demand upon Pre-
sldent Adams for the names ofthe persons TO whom
he alluded as entertaining tire asonabc designs against
the Union in the time of Jefferson and also for
proofs on which he rested charge so serious. This
movement on their part is no doubt proper, and it
will probably be conceded that the President will be
entitled to consult his discretion as to the mo-
men when it will be wise, and his duty to give fur
ther publicity to the facts and names alluded to.
The circumstance in the time should not be lost
sight OF by those who have marked with praise the
career of Mr.. Adams that for his countrys sake, he
has exposed himself from the first to an unappeas-
ing persecution, both personal and political, now
again about to be revived, much to the disturbance
Of the social and friendly relations which, in the

progress of time, have risen up between him and
those, who by implication more or less remote, feel
themselves involved in the disgrace Of the charge
made by Mr.. Adams.
Destined in all probability soon to retire from the
RESPONSIBILITIES of office and the contentious of po;.
tics, it would seem peculiarly desirable that he
should 60 among the people Of his native State with
no unpleasant interruptions to their harmony and
friendship But however this may be, we have
entire confidence that Mr.. Adams will maintain the
character of Patriot, and protect his integrity, as
he has hitherto done from all reproach.
When we remember not the occasional, but the
uniform veracity of the President, his habitua eau.
ton, and his systematic life, we do not fear for his
reputation, whenever it shall please him to CRAFTY
the Eastern Gentlemen in their demands, touching
the traitorous movements the leaders of the Fed
cral party in Massachusetts. We think too that the
tone ofcertan Newspaper Editors in Boston should
be more modest relative to this matter, when is
remembered that Mr. Adams has unhorsed many an
adversary by the simple force of truth. And it may
well be supposed that he knows his shield and Can
at any time lay his hand upon it, to protect him in
assertions made twenty years since, and now again
repeated without abatement and without fear.

TWENTIETH CONGRESS.
Alonddy, May 10.
FIR ST SESSION


The Senate was wholly occupied with
private Bills, till about l2 O'Clock, when
they went into the consideration of Execu.
tive business.
In the House Of Representatives, the
Bill from the Senate making an appropr-
alton for Breakwater in Delaware Bay
was acted on in Committee of the whole,
aud ordered to be engrossed and read a
third time. A bill granting land to the
State of Ohio to make the Miami CanaA
from Dayton to Lake Erie, was also acted
on, and ordered to a third reading to .mor d.
row. A Bill granting TO the State of OHIO
500, ,000 acres ofland, to aid in the construc-
ton of Canals, and Bill TO allow the i'm
portntion Of iron and machinery for rail
roads free of duty, were both acted on in
Committee of the whole. The first was
rejected by vote of Is to 73 and the last
journment prevailed.
Tuesday, .May 20.
In the Senate the Bill authorizing a sub
scription OF stock to the Chesapeake and
Ohio Canal was taken up and discussed
the whole day. A motion to lay the bill
on the table was lost, by vote of l8 to %.
"A motion by Mr.. Cobb, to amend the
bill by providing that individual and cofpo.
rate stockholders shall pay the whole in.
stead of " one half Of the assessment on
their shares, before the Government shall
pay its assessment, &C." is now pending.
The House of Representatives, recon
sidered the vote by which they rejected,
on the proceeding day, the bill granting
lands to the State of Ohio to aid in making
canals, nnd again rejected the Bill by a
vote 81 to S6. The bill making appro.
priation for a breakwater at the mouth Of
the Delaware Bay, and the bill granting
lands to ard the State Of Ohio in making
the Miami Canal, were both passed.
The House then, in Committee Of the
whole on the state Of the Union, acted up.
on the appropriation bills for the Military
and Naval service, Pensioners, and Fortl.
fcations, for the first quarter Of the year
1879, and the bill from the Senate making
an additional appropriation for the navy for
1923 and also upon the bills making sp-
preparations for the Library, for holding a
treaty with the Chickasaws, and bill to
alter the duties on wines.
The bill to abolish the agency on the
coast Of Africa, was also acted on but an
amendment, moved by Mr.. Mercer. grant
ing an appropriation for the present year,

LATEST FROM EUROPE.

- NEW okk, May ~.
The packet ship Napoleon, capt. Smith
arrived yesterday, from Liverpool. BY
this conveyance the Editors of the Com.
mercial Advertiser have received their
London and Liverpool papers--the former
to the 2ith, and the latter to the 25th ult.
AS we intimated in our last abstract of
foreign intelligence, the story of the pas.
sage OF the Pruth and the Danube by the
Russian troops, was premature--bm there
has been no change in the views of Rus
STA, and az soon as the weather will per.
init, the boundary will be crossed in force,
unless the Turk should in the mean time
become more pliable and reasonable. The
following articles extracted from the two
last London Couricrs, will probably give a
better idea Of the real state of the ques.
tlon, at the last advices, than can be de.
rived from any other source.
From the London Courier, April %.
We understand that there is not the
least foundation for the report circulated
yesterday. that the Emperor Of Russia had
sent orders to suspend the crossing of the
Pruth, on account Of menacing remon.
strances from the Courts Of London and
Paris. No such menaces have been sent
nor have they ever been contemplated by
either Court. Their sincere wish and sole
object are to follow the course which is
best calculated to preserve the peace of
Europe. We are quite sure that mena-
ccs would not be productive of that effect.
We have no doubt that the Russian army
will cross the Pruth; but we still hope that
the Sultan, seeing the danger of his situa.
tion--convinced that he will have TO fight
single. handed--and aware Of the mighty
and overwhelming force that can be bro't
against him--will listen to more moderate
counsels, and avert by negotiations the
imminent perils to which he must other.
wise be exposed.
The whole tenor Of the Emperor of
Russia's language and conduct affords
sufficient pleGge that he will not refuse an
offer Of negotiation on the part Of Turkey.
if made with the sincere desire TO adjust
all the differences between the two coun.
tries, and re-establish friendly relations:
nor do we believe that he will exact harsh
or severe conditions. IL satisfied that thew
would be entered into with good faith by
the Sultan.
