Anecdote of (icn. 'Lheodore lledlng. Lxtrac. from the Journal ofaGt'rmao ()f!i or in the Spanish service at the battle of y Ion. I canrot refrain (says the nfiacer) from relating an ane-dotc, which throws suth a pleasing light on the character ol the immortal D n Theodore Kedmg, a man who by h's intrepidity, and personal valour, and sound judgement in the military art greatly contrtuircd to the success ot thai day. On the evening before the battle, several dragoons of one of our most distant pickets of cavalry brought bound into the camp, about twenty Andilusian peasants, who were conducting a cumber of mules and aasea loaded with

water, by a secret road to the French, when they were seized by our people. The heat was so excessive, that persons of eighty years of age remembered nothing equal to it. The peasants trembling awaited their sence before the General's tent, we'd knowing that death was the consuence of their crime. At last the commander appeared, curiosity had drawn together some young officers, to whom He ling said, '"Gentlemen, form a circle. These men (continued he a 1 dressing us with great seriousness,) were conveying to the enemy, who are, we know suffering for want of water, that necessary article : now determine their punishment I will collect your votes-" - The gdlovvs, according to the laws of war," said the first, the second and the thud.

K..y.a!ji!i Demott, lnre(ich ()J ymmi o i1?' f-. 1 r f marriage. Samuel L. .Suu'h. J . J

The above case came on for trial on Frid .y. the 31st of May, before his honor Jndge Wocdworth. It appear-d that the defendant cxmmenctd paying his addresses to the plaintiff, who is the daughter of a very poor, though respectable inhabitant ol Queens County, in the winoi 1812, and continued doing so, until the summer of 1821, when he informed the mother of the plaintuT, that her daughter was a good girl, hut that he had changed hi :nmd for the present, and if he ever did marry, he would marry Klizdeth. He thereupon discontinued h:s visits and the present suit was brought for damages. The defendant charged the plaintiff with a want of chastity, and endeavored to prove it by u certain witness who, upon being asked the question, said he was not bound to answer. Thie witness was mott severe

ly dealt with, by the counsel for the nlain-

t iff and seemed to share the indignation of those present, with his friend the defendant. His insinuation was treated by the court and jury with the contempr it merited. The character of the plaintiff was sustained by the testimony of many highly respectable witnesses; ind. ed she appeared to acquire additional respectability from the base attempt made to destroy her. His honor the judge charged the jury, that the character of the plaintiff was proved to be not only pure, but unsuspected. The promise and breach were clearly made out, and that there Was nothing offered by ihe defendant to justify, or even excuse, his cruel breach o faith; that it was in evidence, that he was worth between three and four thousand dollars, and he could not avoid expressing his opinion, that it was a case demanding heavy damages; that it was uoc a cse of a pecun ary contract, in wbuh the jury could measure, and would be bound to give the actual amount of damages; but ihr.y could in this action, be measured only by the sound moral discretion of the jury; he advised them to act wi'h caution, but at the same t'.ms with firmness; the defend int had perhaps destroyed the plainpiTs peace of mind for ever, he had gamed her affections, he had trifled with them f ,r a great portion of her life; anil had, without; cause, disc i; ded and abandon-d her. I he defend mt could claon nothing but ju-iicc at then- hands; and he submitted to them, whether the public, as well as ihe plaiatdf, could not ask in this case an t xemplary v erdict. The jury retired, and brought in a verdict for the pla:r.;.ir ot two ihousaud dollars.
