M. Silvestre de Sacy, has published a short
but curious Memoir GA the Collection of Stories
entitled the IRo.unnd and one .Nsshts. in which
that learned orientalist has satisfactorily de
molished tho arguments Of those who ascribe
to them an Indian or Persian origin; M. de
Saey's opinion is, that they were originally
! written in Syria; that the collection was leif
incomplete by the author, and that the eopv-
lists have endeavoared 10 complete it by the
| addition of tales already known, or new ones
| written by themselves; that the date of its
compositon is otyery ancient, and may with
tolerabie certainty be set down about the
middle of the niath century of the Hegira,
which would make il about 400 years old.

7se astoy Cases.--Thc third verdict las been rendered in favor of Mr. As- tor. ia the Circuit Court of inc United States, under the treaty of compromise. between him and the State of New York. The substance of the comprom- ise is, that the State is to pay Mir. As tor, if he gains a certain number of suits, s450,000 with interest from 1927, for about 55,000 acres of improved land in Putnam county, N. Y. which arc. esti- mated to be worth at least million and half of dollars. The lands were conhscated after the Revolution by the State, as the property of Roger Morris. Butit appears, that Morris only had a fife title to the property, and Astor bought of the heirs their claims.

THE BURIED LOVE.

have often thought that flowers were she alphabet of Angels, whereby they write on hills and fields mysterious truths.
 Ysss Rebels. She sleeps the quiet sleep of death, The maid who lies below And these are Ange-missioned flowers, That OCT the green turf grow. And thsv are sent to warn the fair, How transient is the bloom; See how they bend their tender forms, And weep upon their tomb. TT I ile biiitissi, bbiiitissii, sieea her living cheek Had shamed the morning skies; And diamond light Is not more bright Than were her youthful eyes. To see her on a summers day, Gave love lighter wing; And happy thoughts would crowd theheart, And gnsh from many 2 spring ! know the language of the flowers, And love to hear them grieve, When crimsoning to eye of morn, Or dropping to the eve. listened when the star of love Shone through the blue serene, When twilight held her silent wake, Beneath the crested queen. They told of her whose spirit comes, To breathe upon their leaves; And can l choose but love the breath That once was Geneyieve's She's gone where sorrow may not come Where pain may never be- But she who lives an angel still, May sometimes think of me. Though gone, alas her blushing smile, Who sleeps in sweet repese, 1 Joy to find her mimic grace Still living in the rose. Then will love the modest flower, And cherish 1t with tears; ltminds me of my feoting time, Yet chases all my fears. And when my hour of rest shall be, ] will not weep my doom; So Angel=missioned flowers may come Ard gather round my tomb. R. D,

FETHE primary object of this work will
 A be, to check the rapid progress Of two alarming evils, so fatally prevalent in our country viz, lntemperance and Infdelitv. which, like the cankerworm, are stripping
 the walks of life of all its flowers, and leav-
 ing the moral world leafess desert. To
 do this the more effectually we shall pour tray in the most vivid coiors, the deformity and deleterious consequences of these most deadly evils, by interesting moral tales, sketches, fragments, essays, and scripttra illustrations. We siaii endeaYor to cier.
 ish in the hearts of our readers, the sublime
 and benevolent sentiments of the blessed gospel of Jesus Christ-to exhibit the beau
 ties and rewards of virtue ill all their caps tiyating lovliness--to awaking the better feelings of human nature-to cultivate the
 SOCIAL and DOMESTIC afections--to deal the mind through the most delightful aven. ues, to the bowers of happiness and peace ito elevate and enlarge the conceptions ito imbue the understanding with themost
 exalted ideas of inimitable attributes and perfectiops ofthe Great Divinity--thereby leading mankind to ss fear God and keep his commandments.o
 To accomplish these designs, we shall call to our aid all the eloquence of truth, clothed in the most faeinating forms-such as moral essays, simple or pathetic tales, varying H from grave to gay, from lively to "--poetieaI sketehes-didactlc articles in verse-and sometimes to enli- ven our pages, a tale of fancy--a humorous story-an alegory--a ballad--or song- will receive an insertion. Tn each and in all, the great end and aim will be, to con. vey moral and religious sentiments, thro' a pleasing medium, to the heart-or, other words, to blend ( the useful with the sweet.'

.Meteor.-On Tuesday evening last, a little before 10 o'clock Meteor of un- usual splendour was witnessed by many persons in this town, but we had not the good fortune to enjoy the sight. 1t was likewise noticed in many other pla- ces. The Newburyport Herald states that 1t burst in a S. E. direction. It shot down almost perpendicularly, and appeared at the instant it burst like globe of liquid fire, of variegated col ours, and all the beautiful tints of the rainbow.
 The most particular description of the Meteor which we have seen is the following from the Taunton Advocate.
 X most beautiful meteor was observ- ed in thiis village about ten o'clock oa the evening Of the 18th inst. It first appeared inthezenith witha an effulgence which lit up the Heavens with noon day splendour; its direction was toward the north east, and the duration of it's ap- pcarance might have been five or six seconds. We have no recollection of ever witnessing moresublime appear ance than 1t exhibited while slowly and majestically itpassed through the Heav- ems emitting on all sides rays of various colours, and large sparks which were projected at considerable distance, and which had the appearance of dis tant Meteors. A dark cloud lay in the east behind which it passed, and was lost to the sight. The cloud for an instant exhibited the appearance of burnished gold, so brightly was ii. illu- minated by its rays. Our ears, and it may be our imagination were less quick than some -four friends, who described lt as being accompanied with a loud whiz2ing sound, resembling the explo- sion ofa rocket.

Qftte Pg9acipai Glt1ef to the General Coua-
 eit of ihe Cherokee yNatioa.
 To the Committee and Council,
 in General Council convened
 Friends and Flsl5oao Citszens.-The constituted authorities of Georgia hay- ing assumed the power to exercise sovereign jurisdiction over a large por- tion of our Territory, and our Political Father, the Chief Magistrate of the United States, having declared that he possesses no power to oppose, or inter- iere with Georgia in this matter, our relations with the U. States are placed ill strange dilemma. The grave as- peet of this picture calls for your calm and serious reflections. l have there fore deemed 1t my incumbent duty, on this extraordinary occasion, to convene fhe General Council of the Cherokee Nation.
 The prayers of our memorials before she Congress of the United States have not been answered. But it is gratify- ing to know that numerous similar pc titions from various sections of the Uni ted States have been presented in fla vour ofour cause by a large portion of the most respectable class of the com- munity, and that our rights have been ably vindieated in Congress by some of the most distinguished statesmen. But notwithstanding the unanswerabIe argu- ments which have been advanced, un- der these appeals, there seems to have been settled determination, by a small majority in Congress, to make fartheref forts to bring about a removal of all the Indians east of the Mississippi, beyond that great river, by making the question d general one, and acting upon the principles of policy and expediency-. the respective claims and rights of each tribe un,ier existing treaties with the United States were viewed only as a secondary consideration consequently, an act has been passed @'To provide for anexchange oflands with the Indians re- siding in any of the states CT territories, and for their removal west of the Mis- sissippi.' The House of Representa- tives, however, by a very large maiori- ty, adopted this amendment which has been accepted by the Senate, ssProyided that nothing in this actshail construed as authorizing or directing the violation of any existing treaty between the Uni ted States and any of the Indian tribes. J
 It is much to be regretted that we find in the reports ofsome of the acting Agents of the General Government and other designing and interested individu- als, that our true motives, disposition and condition have been grossly perver- ted and misrepresented. This may in par: be attributed to want of correct and flll information upon the points oI which they pretend to speak, ,andin insome respects to an inclination to deceive the public with the view of effectins certain political ends.
 The fee simple title of our soil has beer vaiaiy asserted to be in the people of seorgia and that state has arrogated to herself the power to exercise sove. reign jurisdiction over us, and by legis. satiyc enactments, has declared all our
