Jl'OPUL Att r, L ECTION S.

L-VME-xr or the Empress Josephine. BY MRS. EMBURY. Tj;s franul Etrife of feeling new is o'er,

The bitter pang can ren J my heart no more;

A martyr spirit now within me burns,

VJjiove that epurns

And thought of itself, is waking, till its power

Cia conqur e'en tb.2 anguish of this Lour.

Yes! for thy sake I can resign e'en thee,

yii noble husband! though there yet may be,

Enough of woman '8 weakness in my heart,

Tj bid the taars start,

Yet not one murmur of reproach shall swell,

Aaidthe accents of my last farewell.

IloreJ thes in thy lowliness ere fame

itaJ ehed her halo round Napoleon's name; la the reiled lightning of that falcon eye,

1 read the high,

And ?jdlike aspirations of a mind

Whoss loftiest aim was power to bless mankind. Ir.d when thv name through all the earth was known,

When Monarch's qu iked befr3 thy triple crown, When Queon's beheld me in mine hour of pridi Thv elorious bride;

Xo 6elfish vanity my heait could swell

shared a throne, but would have shared a cell.

Like thine, my bouI was formed for glorious fate;

I loved thee as the eairle loved its mate;

Nor did I seek with b-irrr.vel strength to climb

The height sublim, Where thra hast built thine ire: 'twas forjme

Eaoujh that thou wert there I followed thee.

And ii th; toils too I have borne a part, In scenes where might have quelled manVstern heart, Whan da k rebellion reared his hydra crest,

Mv hand caressed.

Ard soothad the dreadful m-i Stir till he smiled And bowed him down aibmissive as a child. Though all untaught the warrior's band to wield,

Yet went my s.nrit with thee to the field, Where changing squadrons met in fierce array,

Xor mid the battle fray,

Awoke one terror for a husband's life-

Such fears were idle in Napoleon's wifj.

Alas! h)W has my pride become my shame!

I saw thee mount the rugged steep of fame

And joyed to think how soon thy mighty soul

Wculd reach its goal; Nor ever dreamed, ambitious though thou art,

That the last step would be upon my heart.

Xo sacrifice! no second of thy race

Shall wield the world's dread 6ceptre in thy place;

Rude nature might have taught how falsely must he Such hope to thee:

For lofty minds but with like minds should wed Xot in the dove's Boft nest ore eaglet's bred.

Ours was tb.3 60ul's high union; and tha pain

That -fl-ears my spirit down, breaks not the chiin;

Xo earthly hand such fetters could entwine,

And I am thine,

As fo adly, proudly thine, in exile now,

As when the diadem begirt my brow.

the points made by the counsel on both sides, were also similar. The trial occupied the whole of Thursday and a part of Friday. His Honor, the Chief Justice, chargedhe Jury that the law was Constitutional, taking the broad ground that blacks were not citizens. The Jury, after a short deliberation, returned a verdict of guilt v. The Counsel fos the defendant tendered a bill of exceptions to the charge of the Judge, which will bring the Constitutional question before the Supreme Court of Errors of the Stale of Connecticut, at their next session in July.

Si'IIUT OF TJ2E TIKES.

For the following South American intelligence

we are indebted to the New Ycrk Commercial

Advertiser.

From Buenos Ayres. By the arrival at Bal

timore of the brig Menton we are in possession of

a tile otthe Argentine JNews,morc than a month later than before received, and extending down

to the isith ol August inclusive. The government of which Gen. Rosas is at the head is accused of all sorts of delinquencies. Party spirit runs exceedingly high. -Senores Zuniga and Maza have resigned. Senor Ugarteche had been installed into the office of Minister of Foreign Affairs, andSeor Tagle, as Minister of the Home Department. Senor Manuel Jose Garcia had declined taking office in the hope that peace might be restored to the public councils by the formation of a ministry altogether new. The revolutionary movement in the country districts of Cordova, and which was headed by Dastello, has hecn put down by the forces under the command of the Governor of Cordova. Several of the Chiefs belonging to the revolutionists have been shot; among the number was ccommandant Arredondo. We do not find any important intelligence from the otherprovidences of the interior, except that of Santa Fe. Despatches from Gov. Lopez states, that on the 2d of July he surprised a body of hostile Indians in their toldeiras; that he had killed forty two of their warriers aud taken four prisoners. In addition, he had recaptured eight white women, an hundred Indian women of all ages, together with all their horses sheep, and a number of black cattle. A series of decesive victories had also been achieved by Gen. Rosas over the Indians, the official accounts of which had been received, and the victor had also sent to the Government the cuirass and sword of the Cacique Chocori. From Rio Janeiro. Accounts represent the political condition of Brazil as being truly deplorable. The great bulk of the laboring classes consists of slaves the merchants are principally Portuguese, who would jjrefer to have the country reduced again to a colon y and the moderate consists for the most part of free, men of color, who are represented as a set of unprincipled rascals who desire to profit by the public confusion. Every thing seems ripe for a change of the present order et things in that country. The disorders "in Para, of which we had received previous accounts, are said to be not likely to involve important consequences. The present government were about to pass a bill, decreeing the lavishment of Don Tepro, under the apprehension that should he be driven out of Portugal, he might find his way back again to Brazil under the pretext of constituting him

self the guardian of his son. Montevideo. All remaining tranquil, and civic feasts were held, commencing on the23d of July, in honor of the anniversary of organising

the constitution oi Uruguay, iney were continued for six successive days. From Cartii.vgen.v. Information has been received, via Martinique, from Carthagena, that a disturbance had occurred in that place, in which most of the English residents had been massacred. The Frenc h Consul, having interfered to quell the riot, was taken up and confined in the jail, and afterwards killed by the rioters. The Governor of Martinique had despatched two French frigates for the purpose of protecting the foreign inhabitants at Carthagena.

Miss Crandall. A new complaint having been entered against Miss Crandall, by a grand Tnivr nf tht tmvn nf Canterbury, since the ses

sion of the County Court, she was ordered to

give bonds lor her appearance oeiore me nexi superior Court to abide judgment thereon, by the Justice to whom the complaint was made

THE DISTURBANCES IN ALABAMA. From the National Intelligencer. The difficulties which have arisen between the Federal and State authorities in Alabama, respecting the expulsion of the intruders on the Indian lauds, not only continue, but would seem to be rising to a height to threaten seriously the peace of the. country? the Governor of the Slate having taken measures for organizing a military force, with the view, doubtless, of maintaining the stand, which the State authorities have assumed. In what the General Government have done

towards expelling the intruders, it has ac ted unquestionably in obedience to the laws of the land, and therefore, in the strict line of its duly. The execution of this duty, however, is rendered extremely embarrassing, by the magnitude of the evil which the Government is called upon to redress for the number of persons who have gone upon, and the most part settled on, the Indian lands, is said to amount to twenty thousand or more. The case therefore presented to the Government, is one of a very delicate nature, involving measures of great responsibility, re

quiring wise councils so to shape them as to as

sert the supremacy of the laws without appeal, if possible, to the ultima ratio. It is now a matter of increased regret, that by compromising the duty and dignity of the Government in a neighboring State, and on a kindred question, the administration encouraged this infraction of the law which it is now called upon to redress, and at the same time weakened that moral power, which is the most valuable of all power a Government can possess over its own citizens. The Government, we dare say, is exerting itself to adjust the present difficulty in a manner compatible at once with its own credit and the public peace. An agent, an officer of rank and discretion, left the city lately for Alabama, with a large sum of mone', to be disbursed, we understand, amongst the Indians; but w hether in any

way connected with the dispute, or to operate immediately, or remotely in its adjustment, we know not. Whatever the objectof the mission,we hope it may noi be thwarted by the kind of money' which, according to the new arrangement of the public funds, or by the special order of the Secretary of the Treasury, he was obliged to take with him. But we fear that he will find that the notes of the favored Bank of the Metropolis, which he carried, will not be received as readily as would those of the proscribed Bankflthc United States. This may be cited as oncfoi the mischievous effects of the transfer of the public

money to the local Banks,not to say any thing of

carrying sailarge a mass ol bunk notes, such a

journey through the countn', instead of taking

a draft on a neighboring Jiranclrot the liank ot the United States, and drawing the money on the spot, without the trouble or danger of transportation, as might have been the case, had the funds of the Government remained in that institution.

Colemtjus, Ind. October 2G. BEWARE OF A VILLAIN. A man who called himself Wm. P. Jones, was

arFested by an officer of this town a few days sincc,to answer for a debt he had contracted last spring with one of our merchants; and as he had not the "rhino past him" to satisfy the merchant's demand, he was lodged in the county jail for the night; and on the next morning he "swore out,'" and shortly made olT. Soon after he left town, some of our citizens deeming him a suspicious character opened and examined the contents o! his saddle-bags, which we learn he placed in the

hands of a gentleman in lieu ot a debt, and there found several Certificates for lands purchased at the Vincennes and Jeffersonvillc Land Offices, some of which were filled and signed with the proper names, and the balance in blank form. $375 in bills were also found in the saddle bags. The bills are 20's and 5's, all counterfeit, most of which arc badly executed, and are easily detected by good judges; others might be passed off to individuals who are not accustomed to handling paper money. Six of the above .$5 bills are on the bank of Orleans the. others arc 5's and 20's on the U. S. Bank. The 5's are not so well executed a? the 20's. p . Said Jones, "we lenrn, lately resided in the South E. corner of Monroe country, and it is believed he now makes his home some where in Morgan county; and has a number of accomplices in that direction to aid him in his villainous conduct. The public should therefore be on the alert, both to detect and bring this man to justice,and to guard against further impositions from him and his party.

Jones is represented as a small man, about 30 years old, sandy complexion, fierce look, has a small indentation on the right side of his chin, brown cloth frock coat with a velvet collar, and black fur hat. C3Printers throughout the State are reqnesttcd to aid in bringing this mm to justice, by ccpy-

ing the above in their respective papers, or by making such remarks as they think necessary, and the favor shall be reciprocated. Chronicle THE NEXT SESSION OP CONG3E3?. The twenty-seventh Congress will assemble under circumstances of no small interest to the people of (his country. At the close of the last session, after the settlement of the Scuth Carolina business the passage of the Land Bill the vote upon the subject of the Depositcs, and the arrangement of other matters of minor importance it was not expected that wc would have any topics of excitment ngain brought up for some years, and this expectation was strengthened by the fact that the Presidential Election was at a comparatively remote period, nr.d lhehcr-e that its discussion would not shortly be commenced. Contrary, however, to all reasonable calculaiion, it seems that we arc entirely disappointed. The measures consequent upon the arrangement of the dispute between South Carolina and the General Government, have introduced new disputes involving the povers of the Government and the rights of the States. The Public Lands, by reason of the veto upon the law, are yet unsettled. The Depositcs, in spite of Congress, have been removed the Presideniial Question is and viil be agitated the course of the Executive is severely censured and, finally, mailers are daily occurring, calling for action on the part of the representatives of the people, and likely to produce as much and even more agitation than wc have before experienced. " We might pause to lament over this state of things, and regret the nrcessityj whichscems to exist for continual turmoil. But we can neither alter the disposition cf men nor disposed of the course of events to suit our own opinons. We must take the- times as they come, and in all emergencies do the best that we can, In view, then, cf the difficulties and jmportance of the questions which already press themselves upon the public attention, and which seem likely to acquire hereafter an addiitonal degree of importance, we do hope that the members of Congress will come to the discharge of their high duties with the firm determination' to "make all the ends they aim at be their country's," regardless of the miserable calls of party cr faction 1 We perceive that efforts will be made to continue the system of organization heretofore adopted, and to "count otV " on party grounds, whenever a question of moment is introduced. But it is asking too much of the representatives of the people frerh from the people the guardians of their rights and interests, and the ' conservators of the peace and happiness of our country, to reject this system with indignation, and stand up for their own honor and independence as well as the welfare of their constituents ? Is it asking too much of them, to remember that whilst they are acting as legislators on the floor of Congress, they arc affecting the cause of Liberty throughout the world, and that there can be no way more sure of bringing that cause into disrepute, than by prostituting the purposes of their election to the mantruver3 and intrigues of mere party. Alexandria Gaxette. Sovereignty rs. Nullification. Mr. Burges in an address to the people of Rhode Island, thus briefly explains (he nature of sovereignty. "There can be but one sovereignty, one supreme power, touching the same things, in the same territory. ' If each stale be the supreme power, in all things in its own territory, then the United States is no sovereignty, and has no supreme power any where in any thing. If the United States be the supreme power, within the whole territory thereof, touching all things, granted to them by the people under the constitution, then is the Uritcd States a sovereignty, and the people thereof a nation; but of the several states, the holding all the power not thus garntcd, over the life, liberty, and property, of all the people within their several territories; yet not one of them is a sovereignty, not one of them is a nation. "The theory of nullification depends on the fact that the United Slates is not a sovereignty, a nation; but that each one of the several states is a sovereignty, a nation; and because all sovereignties are equal, no tribunal can decide between them, when they have been wronged by an unconstitutional law; and each therefore must, and can decide for itself by nullifying such law. If the United States, on the contrary, be a nation, it must be endowed with sovereign power, in the legislative, judicial and executive departments of that power, in all things granted by the constitution; and because the states are not sovereignties, not nations, their claims, as sovereignties, as nations to adjudicate and nullify congressional laws because unconstitutional at an end; and all such questions must arise, not between sovereignties,as the nullifiers contend they do arise, but between the United States and citizens of the United States; and do therefore fall within the jurisdiction of the judicial power granted by the people under the constitution of the supreme court, or such other courts, as may be established by congress." The Capitol. The Hall of the House of Representatives, at Washington, is new undergoing considerable alterations and improvements; all of which however, will be completed in sufficient for the meeting of Congress. The floor has been raised ; and a handsome gallery erected over the lobby which was formerly behind the speaker,whose chair nov stands at the north entrance; thus reversing the position cf the members' seats. The Hall has been also repainted, and newly carpeted; and reveral improvements made in the offices attached to the House. Phila Sat. Oour.
