A FAMILY DIALOGUE, With a CLIMAX ! Mrs. Souchong. I wish you would take me to Margate, my dear. Mrs. Souchong. I had much rather not, my duck. 15 ut why not, my ore 1 Because I don't choose it, my sweet. Not choose it, my darling ! Ican't afford it, my precious. Why not afford it, Mr Souchong? Because it is d nl expensive, Mrs. Souchong. Expensive! why there is neighbour Tenkius and his whole family there now, Tnan. Neighbour-Jenkins is a fool, and his wife no better than she should be, woman, I think, however, you need not go to abuse my friends, sir. I shall not imitate the example of yonr friends, Ma'am. Then if you won't go, J icill ; that's poz, husband ! And iyou go, you don't have a penny from me ; that's poz, tcife. Frpm JVL'. TURKEY. The insurrection spreads. Macedonia is up in arms. Ypsilanti is powerfully aided by princess Kantecazuno, favorable to the Greeks. The Greeks of Thessaly have joined the Suliots against the Turks in Romelia. The Islands were generally free, and -even- Cyprus mas in insurrection. The Grecian jfeet was impatient to attack Constantinople ! ' it was even reported that the passage of the Dardanelles had beem forced! All the coasts of Asia Minor were in revolt or an uncttled state. Blood had been shed at Smyrna the Greeks are now fighting as much for life as for liberty. They have some able officers among them, and many experienced foreigners are entering their service. The Grand Seigoor, exasperated by news from the Moreaand the Archipelago, had ordered that alh the Christian churches in the capital should he destroyed. -This order had been immediately obeyed, with an excessive baibarity. Sixteen churches were razed from the foundations: to a representation from the Russian ambassador that this violence would offend all Christendom, the Ottoman government replied merely, that the sultan was master there, and the grievance had been dictated by reasons of state." Intelligence had just before arrived that the Hvdriots had captured 40 vessels from Egypt, laded with corn The capital is in consternation. The fleet will certainly not put to sea. The trQops expected from Asia Minor do not arrive; those which have an appeaiance of leaving Constantinople, return at night to pillage and assassinate. The bazars and shops are closed ; and. as there is no longer any personal safety, all business has ceased. Adrianople witnessed another dreadful crime on the 9th of may. An ex-patriarch of Constantinople, three Greek bishops, and 40 othtr persons of that nation, had been publicly murdered. The Jews denounce the Greeks to the Turks. Several Greeks, who had endeavored to purchase the silence of the Jews, found themselves miserably deceived by those wretches. .The Servians are arming. The murder of the Greek jiattiarch caused terrible retaliations in many places on the Turks. The Greek armed vessels have made many captures the xommand the Archipelso; and ah the trade between Constantinople aud the islaude bad ceas

ed. , The Jani3Sariei at trie capital havg threatened the ministers, and even the Sultan himself after the manner of things in Russia, the murder of a "legifimate'Vis fashionable among them; but it seems they had been quieted for the moment by the distribution of 00, 000. sterling! Disorder still reigned at Constantinople on the 13th of May. The Greeks murdered in the empire ; are estimated to amount to 40,000 already. Some say that Ypsilant has crossed the Danube with a large army, others that he continued to discipline his forces north of that river. A party of Greeks are said to have been cut to pieces by the Turks at Galacz the number, it appears, was considerable, as they were attacked by C000 men. The Sultan had appointed a new patriarch, but the Greeks would not acknowledge him, and he died suddenly, said to be of fright at his elevation ! The plague is said to have shown itself in Constanti nople. A Trieste article, of May 26, says " three .Turkish frigates, of 50 gun3 each, and four brigs, which recently sailed from Constantinople in order to support the opperations cf the forces destined against the insurgents of the Morea, have been given up to the latter by the Greeks which form the majority of the crews of this squadron. The Turks on board, in number about nine hundred, were at first landed as prisoners on the island Milo ; hut as soon as the murder ot the patriarch was known, the Greeks sacrificed them to their, ven-

Ypsilanti is spoken of as a -very capable officer well fitted for the service in which he acts. He had just received 40 pieces of cannon from his friends in Russia, notwithstanding the interdictions of the emperor to the countrary. CAKAD K. ' The Canadians have completed a canal by which an easy communication is opened between lake Champlain and the St. Lawrence. A great feast was given on the occasion. The people in the vicinity of that famous sheet of water liavernow two markets presentedthose of New York and Montreal. Yaval. The U. S. ship Columbus, of "4 guns, com. Bainbridge, and the brig Spark, capt. Elton, have arrived at Boston, from the Mediterranean, all well. This noble ship entered the harbor in the finest stile. She has on board the

statue of Washington, by Canova, for the state of North Carolina. . Major Andre -The remains of this unfortunate man, who justly suffered death during the revolutionary war, are to be removed and deposited near the monument erected to his memory, in England, by the direction of the. duke of York, as commander in chief of the Brittish armv. The Skeleton vf tfie Wreck. Several years since, while Captain Sir Michl Seymour was in the com mand of the. Amethyst frigate, and was cruizing in the bay of Biscay, the wreck of a merchant ship drove past. Her deck was just above water her lower masts alone standing. .Not a soul could be seen on board , bu? there ws a cubhouse on deck, which had the appearance of having been recently patched with old canvass and tarpawling, as if to afford shelter to some forlorn lemnant of the crew. It blew at this time a strong gale; but Sir Michael listening only ' to the dictates cf humanity, ordered" the

Vhip to be put about, and sent off a boat with instructions to board the wreck, and ascertain whether there was any be-in"-still surviving whm the help of his fefiow man might save from the grasp of death. The boat rowed towards the drifting mass; and while struggling with the difficulty of getting through a high running sea' close alongside, the crew shouting all the time as loud as they could, an object likt' in apparancetoa bundle of clothes was observed to roll out of the cubhouse appcat.cntly against the lee shrouds of the mast. With the end of a boat hook they manage;! to get hold of it, and hauledf it into the boat, when it proved to be the trunk of a man, bent head and knees together, and so wasted as scarce to be felt within the ample clothes which had once fitted it in a state of life and strength. The boat's crew hastened back to the Amethyst with this miserable remnant of mortality; and so small was it in bulk that a lad of 14 years of age was able with his own hands to lift it into the ship. When placed on deck, it showed for the first time, to the astonishment of all, signs of remaining life! it tried to move, and next moment muttered in a hollow sound sepulchral tone, " there is another man." The instant.thesc words were heard, Sir Michael ordered the boat to shove off again for the wreck. The sea having now become somewhat smoother, they succeeded this time, in boarding the wreck; and looking iiito the cubhouse they found two other human bodies, wasted like the one saved, to the very bones, but without the least spark of life remaining. They were sitting in a shrunk up posture, a hand of one resting on a tin pot, in which there was about a gill of water ; and a hand of the other reaching to the deck, as if to regain a bit of salt beef, of the size of a walnut, which had dropped from its nerveless grasp. Unfortunate men ! they had starved on their scanty store, till they had not strength remaining to lift the last morsel to their mouths! The boat's crew having completed their last . melancholy survey, returned cn board, where they found the attention of the chip's company engrossed by their -efforts to preserve the generous skeleton, who seemed to have just life to breathe the remembrance that there is still another man," his companion in suffering to be saved. Capt S committed him to the special .charge of the surgeon, who spared no means which humanity or sRill could suggest, to achieve the noble object, creating anew, as it were, a fellow creature, .whom the most unparalleled famine had stripped of almost every living energy For three weeks he scarcely ever left ' his patient, giving him nourishment .with his own hand, every five or ten . minutes ; and at the end of three weeks more, the 44 skeleton of the wreck" was seen walking on the deck of the Amethyst and, to the suprise of all whorecollected that he had been lifted into the ship by a cabin boy, presented the stately figure of a man nearly C feet high.
