Np EpIroR-The memorial for a reduction
&c tb. tax ON DOGS to the rate affixed by the'Coun-
eli of the CITY of Washington, has been smother
al nv the Honorable Council OF our good Town
of Alexandria. -,
The day of election for members OF Council
snproaches trust that the voters. while every
gale from Europe watts revolution and the rotor
nation Of abuse, will shew at the polls, that that
abuse, that oppressive and unreasonable tax snail
he reduced to what is paid in our sister city
Let Them, therefore, elect men who feel due
,rpard, relatively, in apportioning taxation among
their fellow-citizens--tha those who own dogs,
no Il either for their amusement. their attachment
10 the species or for protection Of their property,
he moi speciallv oppressed. 1t Is for the latter
nsa that own dog-yet should consider II a
hoh stretch of aristOcracy that, choosing to ENJOY
the manly and heathful exercise OF my dog
onb nv cun.n must be debarred therefrom, at
the dictnm of the exclusives Is-this republican,
We hear of neutrality-suspicious. OF men-ofPer-
sons having an antipathy to cats; but no man Of

them at the polls, You shall not again reign over
ne for we arc :. far as the poles asunder. -
:. Love me, love my dog" is an adage as early
as the two animals Imam and dog-aPpeared on
earth. How would Burns, the poet OF nature
and of feeling. have fell for such mens-Burns.
who in one of his earliest and happest produc-
tiops. " The Eva Dogs" raises that animal al
most TO the scale of humanity-in Luath and Ca-
sar-and in fine strain of supposed moral con-
yersat;on between them, keenly satiriZes the vi.
ces of man; devoid, however, of the severity OF
Swift. in his most bitter satire, rather libel, on
the human race-his Yahoos and Houghnhnms.
I conclude with an anecdote, illustrating, IN a
singular manner. the poetic license of Burns, as
10 the communication of ideas between Dogs. 1t
il authentic 1t is quoted for the especial con-
sideration of the anti-caninists-a word | have
added 10 the English language without authority
:. Surgeon of Leeds, walking in the suburbs
of that town, found little spaniel who had been
famed. He carried the poor animal home, BAN
daued M its leg, and after two or three days
tnsned him out The dog returned to the sur
eeop,s house every morning, till his leg was per-
fectly cured. At the end of several months the
span;ei again presented himself, in company with
another dog, who had also been famed; and he
minated as well as piteous and intelligent looks
could intimate, that he desired the same kind as
s;stauce TO be rendered to his friend, as had been
bestowed upon himself."

EXTRACT FROM AN UNPUDLIsHED POEM.
Could remount the river Of my years,
To the first fouDtain of our smiles and tears,

Between their ou.worn banks of w;herd Aowers,
But bid j, hov as now-uni'i IT ghdes
Into the number Of the nameless tides.
what is this Dea,l,-a quiet OF the heart
the whole of that of winch we are par,
Eur Lie is but vison-what see
Ofall which lives alone is life 10 me,
And being so--the absent are the dead,
Who haunt us from tranquility, and spread
A tlreary shroud around us, and invest
VI ith sal rene mbrsncers our hours OF rest
The absent are the dead-for they are cold,
and ne 'er can be what once we did behold;
and they are changed and cheeriess,-or Yet
The unforgotten do not all forget
Since thus divided--equal must it be
m the deep barrier be OF earth or sea;
II may be both-but one day end II must
IN the dark union cfnsensate dust.
The under.earth inhabitants are they
But mingled millions decomposed to ella,
The ashes ofa Thousand sges spread
wherever man has trodden or shall tread!
Or do the, in their silent cities dwell
Each in his inconimunca'ive cell
Or have they their own language AMI q sense
OF GREATNESS being l-dsrkened and intense
As midnig Int in her solitude i-oh. Earth!
Where are the pasti--and therefore had they birth
The dead are Thy inberi,ors-and we
But babbics on thy sutherland ths key
OF thy profundity is in the grave,

1.-THE Independence Of the ambassador would
be very imperfect, aud his security weakly foun-
ded, did not the house in which he lives enjoy an
entire exemption as TO be inaccessible TO the or
binary officers Of justice. The ambassador might
be disturbed under thousand pretences; his Sc

and his person exposed to insults. Thus all the
reasons which establish his independence and in
volatility, concur likewise to secure the freedom
Of his house"

from foreign jurisdiction belongs to the

o. r. Q.-Some of our readers may bear in mind, that we mentioned two or three months since, Hashy letter written by the notorious John Henry to the Duke of Wellington, and published in Paris pa- per. It may be proper to state that this same John Henry is the gentleman who sold bag of wooden nutmegs to the ad- ministration of 1.-the general government, which paid him with all customary econo- my $5O,OOO for his manufacture. He is, we have heard, a native of Ireland--was once wine merchant in Boston, then a toe ry lawyer in Canada, whence he carried to Washington his assortment of notions, which were distributed, as all recollect passing like pendulum, from one extreme to another, traitor to the British and the American Government, he is now figuring as reformer in Europe," and it is coni- dently asserted that the letters in the Lon- don Morning Chronicle, signed O. P. Q. are from the pen of the said John Henry. The samo Mr. Henry is probably we'll paid for his productions and predictions but, as he often meddles with British politics, as well as those of the Continent, we may fear that the " instrument'' will bring dis- grace upon the measure and the " Reform Bill" the Lord Chancellor, and all above and below, may contract odium from the character ofthe man. Henry, tits remem- bered, lost his $5O.OoO in a purchase of land and title, of some Marquis de "SaHs terre," whose castle was in Spain. He may be fishing for ribbon now and his American feats will suggest title that can- not be mistaken.-U. s. Gazette.

COUNT DIEBITsCH.

INe BGLk0n P0Sser. r."-Field- Marsl,-
 al Count Diebitsch is little, fat, pletho- ric-looking man, something less than five feet high; he has very large head, with long black hair, small piercing eyes, and a complexion of the deepest scarlet, alike expressive of his devotion to cold punch and of certain irascabilty of temper, which has elicited from the troops, to his proud title of Zabalcanski tor Trans Balcanian, ) the additional one of the Semaver Cor the Tea-Kettle.) have said that Count Die
 bitsch owes his fortune to his face; the
 sequel will show how. He is the second
 son of a Prussian officer, who was on the
 Staff of Frederick. At an early age he
 entered the Russian army, and obtained a
 company in the Imperial Guard. It was
 at this time that the King of Prussia came
 on visit to the Russian Autocrat, and it SO
 happened that it was Captain Diebitsch's turn to mount guard. The Emperor fore-
 saw the ridiculous figure the little Captain
 would cut at the head pfthe tall grenadiers, and desired friend delicately to hint to him that it would bo agreeable to his Im- perial Master if he would resign the guard to a brother officer. Away goes the friend, meets the little Captain, and bluntly tells him that the Emperor wishes him not to mount guard with his company; for adds he, rEmpereur dit, ct U fawt cOnueair. que vOus Gvez 2 exter;esr teyribIe." This " delicate hint'' that his exterior was too terrible to be seen at the head of troops not remarkable for good looks, SO irritated the future hero of the Balcan, that, with his natural warmth Oftemper. he begged to re. sign not his turn of duty only. but the commission he held in she Russian army {; and, being Pfussian, and not Russian subject, desired Go be allowed to return to his native country. The Emperor Alex andcr, who appears to have iormgd ! just estimate of his talents, easily found means to paeiiy hlm. by giving bim promotion in the line. He has subsequently made him- self 60 useful in that part of the service, where beauty was not Indispensable. tl'at tho late Emperor placed him at the head of tho General Staii, which situation he hold
