A SEMINOLE TRADITION.
BY WASHINGTON IRVING

When the FIordas were erected into a
territory of the United States, one of the
earliest cares Of the Governor. William
P. Duyal, was directed to the instruction
and civilization Of the natives. For this
purpose he called a meeting OF the chiefs
in which he informed them of the wish OF
their Great Father at Washington, that
thew should have schools and teachers
among them, and that their children should
be instructed like the children of white

iesty TO be informed that eve at present
entertain no design Of forliIying London
or any other of our great cities, not
being under the slightest apprehension OF
hostile visit from your Majesty. We
can in fact repeat, with truth, the Spar
tan boast, that our wives aud daughters
have not for many generations beheld the
smoke of an cnemy's camp. Besides,
The citizens of London being treemen,
would not suffer their government TO conP
them up within walls, which shows The
difference which yet exist between En-

minister would dare to face the House Of
Commons with project for overawIng
London by fortificalions. We manage
these things at least better in England.

SHOCKING CRUELTY.-The petty despot who
governs lspahan, is described as cruel almost be-
yond belief. 4 favoritc mode of punishment
with this tyrant, is to cage up criminals doomed
to explate their offences with life, and when
from two to three hundred are thus collected TO
build grooming tower as it is called, a horrid
edifice, composed ofalternate layers Of stone and
human bodies First foundation of stone is
placed upon the ground, and then a layer of live
men and women placed upon these, and, if
we understand the operation rightly, we'll cover
cd with lime and mortar. On these are pl2ced
another series of stones, well cemented, and then
again comes the shrleling victims of an almost
unheard of cruelty; and thus the workmen pro-
coed until the tower is finished. One of these
now stands at gate Of the city. A traveller
who writes from there recently, says, that another
collection ofcriminals is making, and in short
time another Egroaning tower viii go up. HUI
mainly shrinks from the horrible picture.
The New York Signal, whence we gather this
account, forcibly observes:
"Agitatiens, commissions, and threatened de-
sruction of the face of nature often precede reno
walton and publication; and in the moral and po-
liical world, the experience of the past has shown
that similar commissions are the precursors of sal
utary changes, and far as we are able to judge
the only means fprodscing good results of char,
acter likely to prove permanent. Keeping this
view IN mind, the close observer who has been
in the habit of marking the progress of nations
they assembled the scale of intelligence, cannot
but see, in the present aspect Of Eastern affairs,
the signs of a violent and prolonged agitation,
from which the people will arise, acted upon by
new and higher impulses. The two greatest
powers in Europe, each regarding the other
with deep.a and abiding jealousy, have gradually
made inroads upon these nations, the one at the
north and the other at the south, until they have
met almost in the heart Of India. Nor have they
met with any other than hostile feelings. Each
will doubtless centre his strength as rapidly and
as quietly as possible, involving the different
petty chiefs and princes in declaration upon one
side or the other, and when the conclusion at last
centre tothe circumference Then and not till
then, it seems to US, can we look for healthy
moral change among these weak ard cpslavcd
people,"

per craft rugged most gracefully after the fashion

about ten twelve years Of age, and tidily
dressed as sailors, was off the town. Much
curiosity was excited to know who and what she
was She came up, with smart breeze,
and was seen to great advantageous she passed
the wharves. As she sailed along, one of her
Juvenile crew kept the lead a-going, and called
out in true sailor style. Presently, the shrill
whistle of the young boatswain was heard, and
she put about with all the deliberation and de-
cision of man of war. A midshpman of about
fourteen or fifteen was the commander of the
craft; and this circumstance, added to the APP
pearance of the vessel, plainly told that she be-
longed to the naval service. The sight was very
gratifying to all who enjoyed it, and the skill of
the crew called forth the praises of several vet
Grams of the sea. Upon enquiry, we learned that
the first cutter of the Delaware had been fitted
up brig, for the purpose of drilling the naval
apprentices in the practical details of seaman
ship. She is about thirty-seyen feet long; her
crew consists of twenty apprentices her sails
and yards are exercised regularly. When under
