Of the seminary, because she was so gaunt,

Brown felt that it would require all his nerve

1uuils with whom he had iirtcd until he was
satisfied that they had no money or eHpecta-
ton Of any.
However, he consolei himself with the re-
Election that he should speedily obtain influence
enough over her 10 enable him to become, III

so Gar spvnt.w:!n his sickness, that he did not
expect 10 live ont the whole day, when the
last decisive battle was given; but knowing
the fatal consequences that would happen ITO
his cki.tireS and people, in case ne should che
before he pat an end 70 that war, he COM
nandel his principal officers that, if he died
during the engagement, they should conceal
his death from the army, and that tney should
ride NJ 10 the litter in which his corpse was
carried. under rretence Of receiving orders
from him as usual. Before the battle begun,
he was carried through all the ranks Of MS
army in an open inter, as they stood drawn
I'D in array, encouraging them to fight valiant
" in defence of thlr religion ana country.
Finding afterwards the battle t. 60 against
him, though Ae vas very near his last agonleS,
hv tarcY himself out Of his litter, and rallied!

which afterwards ended in complete victory

placed in his litter; where, laying Ills finger
On his mouth, to enjoin secrecy 10 his officers
who stood about him, he died few moments
after in that posture.

A CRUSADE AGAINST CATHoLIcs.-Russis
the liberal and enlightened friend and ally OF
the United States" having quclled The iasur-
rection in Poland, has lately turned heratteR'
ton to the equally co'nmendahle work Of sup
pressing religious institutions il that unhappy
country. Our readers 10 not need to be re-
minded Of the cringing toadyisn displayed by
the loyal" public about ycarago, when some
Russian nava! oeaicers were visiting this couH"
try. They cannot have forgotten the noble
sympathy that surged in every "loya! breast
when the Russian Admiral informed body Of
LOYAL Lcaguers, :, that they [his countrvuen also
had rebellion on their hands. Russia has
suppressed the Polish rebellion, and is now en-
gagged in suppress;ng> the Catholic EnonaSterles
and converts. The inmates Of these lnstltu'
lions are mainly Poles by birth, and for the
heinous crime Of srupathising with their
couatrrmen in their late eti1rt to emanclpaSe
themselves fr&ln the yoke OF Russian despotlsln,
those good men ard pure women Shave been
driven from tueir cloisters. No less than one
hundred and fifteen relic cious houses bave been
closed BY imperial decree, four Of which were
converts The property Of these institutions
has been confScated, and many Of the inmates
sent out of the country. Russia is evidently
advancing in civilization. She has exiled the
CircassisAs from tncic uative country, and
now the sacred houses CT Gods teachers arc
closed 5y decree Of his imperial maj Alex,
ander II. She is, indeed. a worthy ally Of the
most enlightened nation Oh earth. What
does the Tribune think OF these European
Catholics sympasli;zing with the rebel!ion,I;
Does it recommend the 'trends Of freedom"

and make war upon the Catholics here when
