 Cruel Punishment ia Russia. .--An cx- traordinary event occurred in l765. up. on the frontiers of Kioa, upon the Dnie per, in Russia; when a man was seer fast tied upon the back of stag, which probably terrified with this uncommon burden, was gong at full speed. It was to TO purpose that tine spectators at tempted to stop or pursue the animal; it was soon out of sight, and about eight days after, the woodcutters found them both dead ina wood, near Miedzyryez in Poland; the man so much torn and mangled, as to render any recognisance of his person impossible. It was howe. yer conjectured, that he had been the victim of some great Lord.
 Another instance is related in the German histories.-A similar circum. stance, care informed, occurred in the neighborhood of Iariedburgh, in the six tcenth century, through which place, a man chained to the back of a stat, was seen te pass, and distinctly heard to cry for assistance; saying, he had been three days in that dreadful situation, the stag having brought him all the way iron, Saxony. Sometime after the man and the beast were both torn 10 pieces near thc city of Solms.- Portfolio.

ltwas we'll understood that Nr. Calhoun alluded to MT.

Mr. Van Buren, however took no notice ofthc insinn etions. bRi pass ed them by nnheeded, until the Telegraph <" Mr. Calhoun's paper' as Mr Craw ford would call # it,ll came e.,t and ,isade the charge direct. When this was done, Mir.
 san buren came out. He gives the un- qualified denial to the charge. These are lis words. They must forever silence his enemies.
 shs. paa Baren to the Editor of tue 7ele- graph.
 NIT. an Buren transmits the enclosed to the Editor of the United States reIe- graph, for insertion ill his paper of to-mor- row. Icb. 25th. Is3J. Mir. Van Buren desires us, in relation to the correspondence between the Vice President and various other persons. which has recently appeared, to make the following statement in his behaif.
 He observes that an impression is at tempted to be made on the public mind, that certain applications by James A. Hamilton, Esquire, of New York, to Mr. forsyth, the one in February ', 1928, and the other last winter, and similar one 10 the Vice President, for informa- ton ih regard to certain cabinet trans actions during the administration of Mir. Monroe, and which are referred 10 by tine latter gentleman, were so made by Mir. Van Buren's advice or procurement. Leaving the motives and objects of those applications, to those who may deem it necessary to notice them, Mir. Van Btu ren ayers that they, and each of them, were not only made without agency of any description on his part, but also with out his knowledge; and that hc has, at no period, taken any part in the matters connected with them. He desires us further to say, that every assertion, or lnsinuation, which has for it's object to lmpute to him any participation in at tempts, supposed to have been made in the years 1927, and 1928, to prejudice the Vice President in the good opirion of General Jackson, or at any time, is alike unfounded and unjust. He had no motive or desire te create such an impression, and neither took, advised. nor eountenanced, directly, or indirect y, any steps 10 effect that object. For tiIe correctness of these declarations, he appeals with confidence which defies contradiction, to all who have been ac- tors in the admitted transactions referr- ed to, or who possess any knowledge on the subject.

 Jig Dear Sir,--ii'he public spirited citi zens of Mobile have set on foot plan to pay the venerable Monroe the dcbt we owe him, and take from tue nation the reproach of allowing ono of her most faithful ser wants and greatest benofactors to gaw with sorrow to the grave. He has spent his life in our service. and his fortune, while Am- bassador to Paris, 10 sustain the honor of the nation. It IS possible that a stern re- gard to the constitution, may compel our representatives in Congress to vote against the claims of this empoyerished and tim c worn veteran. Let then inc people, r., their individual capacities, step forwa 4! and pay ihe dei,t; and thus shaii we 5re- serve our constitution invioIate, and at tie same time, the national honor from re- proach.
 A paper was circulated here this morn. ing-s Inscription limited to o,se dolIay: two or three hundred names were obtained in an hour; nobody refuses; we shall raise as many dollars there are men in tie cifv Can you not set the thing agoing in New Orleans? know you will most ar.,anttr cooperate in promoting the object. If t,.e plan takes we'll in your city, it will ro most triumphantly througlout the Un;ts a States. Ged grant If may, fct sew.fsr. leans do as well as Mobile. and ron V I, easily raise $5eoe.'
