necessary to check this hot pursuit, and the
Polish cavelry were in consequence ordered to
charge the Circassians. Antoinette rushed
forward with Them with eye; flashing fire,
heT face burning with rage, the young heroine
penetrated into the thickest of the Muscovite
ranks, giving an example of heroine courage
her cCuntrymen, who soon distressed the
enemy.
Geilgrd and Chloyowski, and all their staff
were overwhelmed with admiration and aston
ishment and on returning to the camp, after
the defeat of the enemy, the young heroine
was received amid loud and enthusiastic bur-
ras. The hourIof defeat for the Polish cause
at length sounded, but Antoinette was unmov-
cd. Following the retreat of the army she
vas present in the action of Schawle, and dis
finguished herself in several other affairs,
particularly of Powendeme, where she
received the epauletts of a sub-heutenant as a
recompcnse for her courage. Possessing the
noblest attributes of warrior, she was model
Of patience and resignation during the periods
of difficulty and distress. She consoled her
companions by holding out TO them the hopes
of brighter future. Throughout harrassing
retreat, amid the fatigues Of the bivouac, and
privations of every kind, never did
complaint Or an expression of regret escape
her lips. Ono might have supposed twenty
wears of service had Injured her TO the hard
ships of camp. From the commencement
of her career, so reserved and SO dignIfed was
her demeanor, that she inspired her comrades
with feelings OF the profoundest veneration and

learned to respect young maiden whom an
exalted spirit of patriotism had driven from
the cloister to the battle field. At length,
when every hope was lost, when nothing more
was to be done at Lithuania, TomaZewskl, fol-
lowed the fatal fortunes of the army, and en-
tered Prussia with the corps Of General Rob-
land
There, Oh The recital of her adventurous
life and perilous exploits, she became an OBJ
ject OF universal interest, admiration, and hos
pitality- Both Prussians and Poles were lost
in wonderment at the aspect OF a maiden who
had made campaign as private soldier, and
gained at the point of the lance, the epauetts
of sub-lieutenant'

The duties of wife and mother have doubt
less subdued the grief of that ardent and pat

of her youth will strew her future career with
bitterness and sorrow. One of those power
fully constituted minds that delight in splen-
did actions, the part of Antoinette Tomazew-

prayer to see her set free. But fate has or
dained it otherwise, and doomed her to be one
of the victims Of barbarism and despotism.

Glentworth, James NJ Smith ,Jr. Esq, of coun.
sci for accused. stated to the Court that he was
now ready for trial, and due notice had been
given to the District Attorney of the same
He therefore gave notice that unless the cause
was tried at the present term, he should move
that noLie prosequi be entered in behalf of the
accused. The District Attorney, in reply, re-
marked that the case had already occupied con-
siderable time 81 at great expense to the coun-
ry,and it would be impossible to gethis witness
here again without a much larger expense also
the multiplicity of business on his hands. He
would therefore submit the motion to the Court,
who ordered that nolle proseqm be according

THE PRINCE DE JoINvILLE.-Yesterday the
Prince de Joinville dined with about one hun.
bred of his countrymen, besides the invited
guests, at the Gothic Hall. The dinner was
magnificent beyond example,-the subscribers
paying $40 each. In the evening the Grand
Ball came off in Blocker street at the splen-
did dwelling of DR.. Mott, which had Deen pre-
paired most tastefully and elegantly for the
reception of the Prince. The Prince and suite
became the guest of their fair host for the
evening, and the receptions were conducted in
style of European magnifcence. The par
ties invited were announced by name as they
were received. The servants were in livery
and every thing was as well done as good taste
and good intea tons souldi do it. The dwell
hing is one of block, all of which we believe,
are connected. The display was, therefore.
quite equal to that of Faneuil Hall. The ele-
gance of the entertainment surpassed it, and
the brilliancy and the beauty we opine quite
equal to any thing that has been done in Bos-
ton. We shall give full account of this ball,
this evening or Monday.
