horse ran away with the carriage, and on
passing violently down the hill, short

lieved the Bishop was thrown from his
carriage with great force, the back of bis

the carriage, continued down the road

preaching the water break discovered the
bishop lying on the margin of the east
side of the road, and the carriage nearly
opposite on the west side. He was then
taken TO Mr.. Viewers where every kind

ence to allude to another trait in his char

rccesses of his feelings with AN unerrng

which he held the female sex, as The friends,
the companions, and the equals of man.
not.only here mean to refer to the courtesy
apd delicate kindness, with which he was
accustomed 10 treat the sex but rather to
the unaffected respect, with which he spoke
OF their accomplishments, their talents,
their virtues, and their eXcellences. The
scofis and Jeers of the morose, the bitter
taunts of the satirIst, and the lighter ridi-
cule OF the witty, so proiusely, and often so
ungcnerously, poured out upon transient
follies or fashions, found no sympathy in
his bosom. lie was still farther above the

and polished of the other sex. But, above
all, he delighted TO dwell on the admirable
adaptation Of their minds, and sensibIities,
and affections to the exalted duties assigned

purity, their singleness of heart, their ex-
quiste perception of moral and religious

As Congress has not been in session for
the last two days, there has been quite q
cessation of interesting occurrences at the
seat OF government. What may be going

the President says in his message, that he
has frankly presented to Congress all the
circumstances which have occurred, it is
very certain that he has omitted to take
rany notice of those communications made
by the French charge. Surely Mr. For

General Jackson? He must have sighted
them by authority, and could not huve
taken upon himself the weighty resdonsi-
blilty of dscouraging every attempt at
II agoclatlon. You need not be surprised
TO near that call has been made upon the
President by the Senate for these suppress

Gen. Jackson, throughout this controver-
sy, has been actuated by desire to wiring

that to him and his administration NAV
