Whale Fshcry.-The Capt. Of a French
vessel has published in the French pa
pers, stating that he had found the
coasts Of Africa from Cape Lopez, down
to the parallel of Princes Island fre-
quented by whales in very great numbers,
during the months Of Sept. and October.
They keep themselves he says, at dis
tance of four or FIVE leagues from the
land and are so easy approached that
notwithstanding his vessel was going at
the rate of8, 8 and 10 knots they Erred
from her with pistols at four or five
whales in the course of an hour. He sup
poses that this time Of the year is one OF
migration for these animals, and the in
habilants of Gabon assured him that they
never failed to come there about the pc
riod of the autumnal equinox. He thinks,
for he had sometimes forty In sight, that
this is their rutting season, or that IN
which they suckle their young. The
whales had always one of their fins out OF
water, which they kept beating about
The anchorage the Captain states is good,
and opportunities frequent to obtain fresh
provisions. At Gabon, wood and water
may be procured in twenty four hours
without Il being necessary fol! the crew
to 90 ashore.-[N. Bedford Mercury.

FLOOD ON THE HUDSON.

FLOOD ON THE HUDSON.
We copy from the northern papers the
following distressing accounts of the food
which has just occurred on the North
River. Y. Gazette.
From the Albany Daily Advertiser.
The FREsHEr.-As we feared, the wa
ter in the river continued to rise sll Tues
day night and Wednesday, though moro
slowly as the surface of the food extend
ed ITSELF Great quantities Of lumber and
fuel were swept away from the per, and
some groceries were injured in t,e lower
stories OF the stores on the quay, and the
str~ets bordering upon it.
South Market was impassnble below
Hamilton street, and at the Head Quar-
iers of the Conchologist, alias Mine Host
ofthe Eagle, his guests might have raked
for fresh water CLAIMS out of his from. door.
Carts and yawls piled their amphiblous
vocation, at the rate OF six pence n pas
senger, aud the merry young chaps,
whose days of retailing their masters
goods we're, for the present, over, gaily
demanded wharfage as the passengers
stepped upon their boxes and thresholds.
The vegetation Of the low lands below
this city is, we understand, entirely de-
stroyed.
Ii is reported that forwarding house
at Troy has lost goods to the amount OF
$4,000.
Canal boats were seen plying up the
cross streets to take in freight, and the
food seemed likely to carry them up the
main streets, at the rate it was then ris-
ing. We fear that the disasters will be
found very numerous. We learn that
the canal was completely covered at Can
ajoharie, and that it has sustained consul
el able damage.
From the Albany Evening Journal.
THE FLooD-Loss OF LIVES AND PRoP-
ERry.-The most painful accounts begin
to be received of the destructive effects
Of the Freshet. The river continued ris-
ing till about ten o'clock this forenoon,
when It wus foot higher than in the
Spring The loss of property is immense;
nearly all the stores and buildings east Of
Ma,ket-street, the whole length of the
city, are inundated.
Our fellow citizens of Troy are heavy
sufferers. We are informed that five
men were drowned by the breaking up OF
/ a raft OF which they had charge. A man
and boy near Troy, were drawn into
the current and lost, while attempting &c
rescue COW.
The Bridge across the Mohawk at For
Plain has been swept away.
We fear that the injury to the canal is
so great as to interrupt the navigation tol
several weeks.
We regret to see that the labors and
hopes of the gardners upon the islands
below and opposite the city are all blast
ed. The loss will fall heavy upon ain in
dustrious and valuable class Of citizens.
1t is impossible to estimate the loss Of
our citizens, which is much greater from
the occurrence of such an extraordinary
flood at an unusual season.
Upwards Of 200 cords Of wood was
sw ept down from one yard this morning.
The quantity of lumber lost is very great.
Many of our merchants found the water
ia their stores yesterday morning, before
they had an article Of their goods re-
moved.

The GRouNp WoRK.-The spread Of

ty the increase and Improvement OF
knowledge must give it stability and Sc.
curity. The fortunes Of the civilized
world are now embarked in this cause.-
The great deeps are breaking up, and the
ark that is to ride out the coming storm
must have skill engaged in its cohstruc-
tion, and wisdom to preside at its helm
The warfare Of opinion is already begun !;
and for its safe direction, knowledge
must take the leading staff. In this war,
not the mighty captain, but the school
master is to marshal the hosts to battle.
II is he that is to train the minds which
arc to engage in the contest. 1t is ne
that is TO train up orators and legislators,
statsmen and rulers and he too, is TO
form the body polite ofthe world. Would
the free spirits Of the world look to the de-
fence and hope Of their cause? 1t is no
dubious question where they must look.
Their ouiposts are free schools their cit
adels are universities (; their munitions
are books and the mighty engine that Is

have struggled with other weapons bat
the panopIy OF this age must be knowl-

the fire that flashed from the eye Of free,
hiQh-minded public opinion. Call tins
complimen,ing, call il complaisance to the
base multitude, call il speculation, cnll Il
what you will, but the doctrine but the
doctrine is true and, over the liberties
of the world, whether prostrate or trium.

CHOLERA AT New JORLEANs.-Letters
and papers received this morning from
New Orleans, dated the 30th April state,
that the Cholera had re-appeared at that
place. The editor of the Courier, iE his
paper Of the 30lh says, that it is of no use
to disguise the lact-that the deaths for
some days had been unusually great and
that the disease was very rapid in its pro-
gress, carrying off the persons attacked
after a few hours illness. "To speak
plain" says the editor, +" They die Of the
merciless Cholera, or if we mistake the
character of the dire disease that prevails,
it is at least as fatal in its effects as the
Cholera"

BIZ MONTGOMERY.
At every motion of our breath,
Life trembies on the brink of death;
A taper's flame that upward turns.
While downward to the dust it burns.
Moment by moment years are passed,
And ONE ere long will be our last,
'Twixt that (iong fed) which gave us light
A nd that which soon shall end in night,
There is point no eye can see,
Yet on it hangs eternity.
Tr.s is that moment, as we choose,
The immortal part we save or lose;
Time PAST and time to COME are NOT:
Time PRESENT, is our only lot.
o God, henceforth our hearts incline
To seek 10 other love but thine.

sc you have been once beguiled, and
have seen others sink. let your resolution

while young man, spent an evening
with q feasting party, when one Of the
company drank SO 10 excess that he fell
down dead in the midst Of them. They
hastily separated, and Hale was 50 shock
cd that he resolved never again to mix in
such society, or drink another health
while he lived, and he faithfully kept his
resolution. But was it necessary YOU
may ask to lay himself under rigorous
restraint approaching to austerity? 1t
might be, or might not be, for this is a
point Of morsl casuistry not always easily
to be settled at any rate 1t is the best to
bs on the safe side. The anecdote above
given briggs to mind a circumstance seia-
ted Of the celebrated Bacon Halter. His
social disposition and the en;icemcnt Of
his companions, having, III some cornwall
party, betrayed him into an act Of intern-
persnce, this solitary deviation into ex-
cess, so strongly impressed his mind with
ingenious shane, that he Instantly form
ed resolution to abstain nom wine in
future, end adopt o strictness Of morals,
from which he never departed. We
should not have had pillar OF law and a
pattern of integrity in Hale, or an orna-
trent ofii,rsture aud philosophy in Iialler
had either Of them given up IL drinking.
