 Duke Constantine.-We have seen some attempts to rescue the character of the late Duke Constantine from the charge of barbarity towards the Poles. 4 recent work of authority, however, states that his temper was truly fero- cious. He was known to have ordered a soldier 500 lashes for having the seams of his gloves sewn inside, instead of outside. A lady and gentleman having passed him one day in their carriage without recognizing him, were forced to labor on the public works, trundling q barrow along with convicts and de- serters. An officer of Lancers was commanded to perform some maneu- vres of great difficulty, which his horses want of training prevented him from executing. Constantine cursed both man and beast. He called for muskets, and had pile of them with bayonets fixed, set upon the ground, of the width of twelve feet, and then ordered the Lancer to leap over them. He suc- ceeded in accomplishing the frightful task, only 10 be compelled to doit se- cond and third time, 10 the astonish- ment of all present.
 One of the Generals then interfered, representing the exhaustion of the off Ger and animal. Constantine, in a rage, again commanded the leap to be made. The noble animal cleared the bayonets with the fracture of two ofhis legs; the Lancer escaped unhurt. He advanced to the Duke, and thanking him for the honor he had hitherto en- joyed as an officer in the emperor's ar my, tendered his resignation. He was ordered to Il. guard house, and was ncverseen again, doubtless assass;hated, :, as others had been before, by order of the Grand Duke. This was the rule, this the government which the heroic Poles attempted 10 overthrow, and which they would have succeeded in overthrowing, if the treachery of their late commander had not rendered their valor unavailing. To such oppression they are again doomed, since, in the memorable language ofthe French min- ister, soRDER" again reigns Sin War saw.''--.Albany D0iy .Adpcrtiser.

 For some years subsequent to the fall of Napoleon, and the establishment of general peace, the mind of the poli- tician lacked novelty wherewith to en- tertain itself. Each nation oppressed with the burthens imposed by the ne- cessities of a heightened warfare, ea- gerly sought the enjoyment of repose; and for time, it appeared as though the sword had been changed into the sickle, and the soldier transformed into the husbandman.
 France was the first to awaken from peaceful slumher; Italy was the next aroused; Poland burst the bands of sleep; Belgium started from repose ]; and even England has experienced some unquiet dreams, to indicate that she is also stirring.
 By what magic power have so many nations arisen to mingle in the strife of blood; of what did the spell consist, that it could bring so many coinbatants into the field of arms? No mighty ques- tion was agitated between themonarchs ofthe earth, by which those fellenchan- ters, pride and jealousy, could charm their votaries to their bidding; the great national councils of Europe were undisturbed by the attempted settle ment of any important arrangement, and the crowned heads were leagued together, apparently in good faith, to preserve the integrity of their terr;to- Sies both individually and collectively. A Hdy Alliance existed!
 Surrounded by the attributes of I'm perial and KingIy power, fortified by tho fscjjadicss Of ;iisi5sii,d, with armies at their back, and navies at their will 1; ilattered by all the pomp and circum- stances of majesty, it might be suppo- sed that the occupant of throne was beyond the reach of an enemy. and that the note of defiance could not Vi brate within the atmosphere of a court. But, firm as a throne may be fixed, and absolute as the authority of "the sitter thereon'' may be, there is yet power on earth, more strongly based than that throne, and more mighty than the sceptred hand-THE PEOPLE! Be- hold the regular line of captain Kings! they are wanderers, and their palace ofthe Tuileries occupied by one who is the choice ofMep people. See the roll of the ancient aristoeracy of France; 1t is even now folding up, and the claims of birth are forever silenced the heredit- ary peerage will shortly become the matter Of history as that which has past ; whilst new order ofaristocrats are to take the place of the old noblesse, de- pendent heircreation-upon whom? The Kings-yes, apparently, but in re- ality, upon the Chamber of Deputies THE PEOPLE. Regard Belgium; how wisely did the members of the Holy Al ilance provide for her government, and inthe plenitude oflheir power, after their foe was humbled, how easily did they transfer millions of men, and a large portion of territory from one sovereign to another; and yet how rap Idly has change been effected by Me people; how quickly have they elected their own monarch.

 .fn earsablc sSatuotaon.-A vessel Nas launched on Sunday afternoon, at South Boston, and, as it is usual on such occa- sions, the deck of the vessel, notwith- standing the intense coldness of the weather, was thronged with anxious expectants of a glorious launch, and glorious, so it was. Well, of the stocks she went, when, ill luck, or something else, sent an unwelcome ship across the tow-line. as the rope or chain is called, that isintended to break the velocity of the vessel launched, which cut the aforesaid line in twain, and to the con sternationsof all on board, still onward she kept her course. Night closed in upon the adventures, and without chart, rudder, sail, light, food, or ssgrog" they stemmed the fury of the ice-topped wave; boats put of to their relief, but the sea was so rough, and the vessel so high out of the water, that approach was impossible, and not till the mercy of the waves the next afternoon, left them high and dry, dd;;sa. dd;a ttiiiair :.s- sistance. They finally arrived at their place of departure, in perfect health, saving some frozen ears, noses and tin- gers. Thermometer during the night blowing Zero!

 tse people struggle for liberty against an
 overwhelming host? Their day is not yet arrived; for a few years the Polish neck must bow beneath the yoke ot des-
 potisnl5 but the time will come when the people ofthe country likewise shall
 be 10 longer slaves, when they shall as
 semble under their own banner, choose their own government, and live as free
 men should upon the soil which God iias given unto them. italy, after all her struggles, is stiiii manacied, but the
 same bright hopes that Poland can en- certain may be cherished by the Italian people, when her chains shall be ex-
 changed for gariands, and her misery
 be turned into joy. England, with all
 her power and splendor, has struggled
 within herself; at peace with the world, she knows not peace at honae--her peo- pie have arisen in their might to declare their will. and the fire has blazed, and the blood has flowed already; the cas- tie of the noble, the palace of the Bish- | op, have been levelled to their founda- ton, and the wide distinctions of socie- ty, rendered venerable by time, abol- ished-in the opinion of thousands.- What they have. been accustomed to ask as boon, they now demand as
 right; the humble petition to Parlia-
 ment is exchanged for a bold appeal to
 their countrymen; the institutions that have prevailed Tor ages, are on the point of being abrogated forever, and
 tue people gain new privileges and new rights.
 The politician has now abundant
 themes for the employment of his sagas- 1 ity; nay, images multiply too fast for
 his comprehension. The fate of one
 empire is scarcely decided, ere the diff ficuities of another challenge his atten-
 ton. Let hin. turn from the views of European political scenery, and stretch his gaze across the Atlantic, to take q view of Ameriea-let him regard the
 United States, and her people. What
 a contrast! :! All that the people of other
 countries have been or are striving for.
 has been accomplished long ago, by!he
 people here; they were the creators of their laws, their institutions, and their
 rights; they are the preservers oftl,en1,
 and the happy participators of all the blessings that spring from them.
 In after times, when the pen of histo-
 ry records the past, this sentiment may happily be found upon the page. At a time when the old governments of the earth were shaken to their centre by civil discord, when Kings were dethron- ed or created as the common occurren-
 ces ofthe day, when Me people began to feel their power and exert 1t for their de- llverance from oppression "a republic, that had not reached its sixtieth year of
 existence, was in the full enjoyment of
 civil and religious liberty, in the posses
 sion of every privilege patriotism could

The European papers speak of a Comet that wilt appear within 60,000 miles of the Earth's orbit, some time in the year 1882. 1.-the earth should hap pen to be in that portion of its orbit nearest the path ofthe Comet, in its ap- proach to the sun, they sayits motion will will be be much distarb bed, and serious eoi,- sequences may reasonably be apprehen- ded. M. Lalande has computed that Comets may pass within 30, ,00O leagues without sensibly deranging the motion ofthe Earth. The Comet of l470 ap- preached so near the Earth as to in- crease its periodical time upwards of two days; and had its mass been equal to that of the Earth, it is computed by La Place, the Earth's motion in her or pit would have been equally retarded, and consequently have increased the length of the year nearly 49 hours As no such effect was produced, the disturbing force of the Comet was con sidered insensible. The mass of the Comet was ,50OOth part less than that of the he Earth. ii ii4454 the Moon was eclipsed by Comet; which must have passed within200,0 0,000miles ofthe Earth. and yet-it is known that no effect was produced by its attractive force, either on the Earth or Moon. The immense velocity of Comets may be principal reason why they do not more sensibly effect the motion ofthe planets. That of 1880 was calculated by Newton to move at the rate of S00,000 miles an hour, and Brydone observed one at Pa lermo, in ITO, whose velocity he com puted 10 be equal to 2,500,000 miles an hour. The Comet of i459 is best known by astronomers. It's period is computed to be about 76 years, though from it's motion being disturbed by the planets, it is sometimes longer. It ap. peared in l6s2 very bright; and was looked after withyery great anxiety in 1858 ;-but Clairaplt determined from
