One abominable wretch blows a post-horn close to the saint's ear, and seems as much delighted with his own music as a boy with a Jew's-harp, or a solo player with his first ad libitum,'7 St. Anthony's sermon to the fish is given in some of our angling books. If this saint was not the preacher to .the fish, but St. Anthony of Padua, the latter has lost the credit

of his miraculous exhortation, from the stu

pendous reputation of his namesake and pre

decessor. ISot to risk the displeasure of him of Padua, by the possibility of mistake, without an attempt to propitiate him if it be a mistake, let it be recorded here, that St. Anthony of Padua's protection of a Portuguese regiment, which enlisted him into its ranks seven hundred years after his death, procured him the honour of being promoted to the rank of captain, by the king of Portugal, as will appear by reference to his military certificate set forth at large in "Ancient Mysteries described."

them annually sent a present on Candlemas

day of a large candle. When night came, this candle was lighted, and, assisted by its illumination, the inmates regaled themselves with cheering draughts of ale, and sippings

of punch, or some other animating beverage,

until the candle had burnt out. The com ing of the Candlemas candle was looked for

ward to by the young ones as an event of

some consequence; for, of usage, they had a sort of right to sit up that night, and par

take of the refreshment, till all retired to rest, the signal for which was the self-ex

tinction of the Candlemas candle.

TO THE PUBLIC. I am under the necessity of contradicting the report which has been circulated con

cerning me, and oi stating the case exactly as it is. About six weeks ago I went in the capacity of house-keeper to Peter Nelson, Conde-street. I had not been but one week in the house before he offered me his hand in marriage. I refused him; at which he Hew in a violent passion and threatened to turn me out of his house. 1 appointed the day I should leave him, when he came one night to my private room, begged my pardon, and requested me to stay, promising to give up all thoughts of me as a wife, providing I would not repeat what had passed between us. I promised I would not, and we passed one week very quietly, when he began to address me again on the same subject. I still persisted in refusing him, at length, tired of him and his addresses, and feeling a desire to be revenged for the ill treatment I had received from him, f, at his earnest solicitation, promised to become his wife. The moment I gave my consent, he begged me to name an eai ly day for the performance of the ceremony, which I accordingly did. Preparations were made for the wedding, and when the company had assembled, I entered the room apologized to Mr. Hull, for the trouble I had given him, and bidding the bridegroom a good mht left the house. It is true, I promised to marry him; true 1 deceived him; that is mv crime, and nothing more. Every thing except that stated in the paper of yesterday, I declare to Heaven is false; he has abused, insulted, and threatened to strike me, and has said manv

things to me which decency forbids me to mention. He likewise states that he has furnished me with clothing, this is also false; he gave me my wedding dress, most of which I have returned him, and am willing to return the re:.:, when he is willing to pay me for my

services in bis family. I ask no favor of the public, only that every one of sense who is unprejudiced, will think for themselves?. EMMA B. ENGLISH. JYai'-Orleans , Feb. 16.

Owing to the high stage of the waters.

we have, this week, received neither the

eastern nor western mail; consequently, our

columns do not present a rich repast of new

and interesting matter.

"To err is human to forgive divine" Upon the veracity of a gentleman from Brookviile, we stated in our last number, that Samuel Fields had obtained a respite from the acting-governor, until after the next session of the Supreme Court: This, however, appears to have been a mistake, as there has been no such respite granted; and consequently, according to the sentence of the court, Fields is to be executed on the 27th inst. As the mistake did not originate with us and we feel assured that our informant must also have been mis-informed we hope that those upon whom it might have had any effect, will have the liberality to overlook the error.

Lafayette arrived at Jeffersonville, on the 12th inst, where he was received bv the citizens from different parts of this state, and those of the neighboring, who had convened

there for that purpose, with every mark of

gratitude and friendship. A sumptuous dinner was prepared for the occasion, by the Committee of Arrangements, and a handsome and appropriate address was delivered by the Governor, to which the General replied in a very interesting manner. He then left there for Frankfort: from thence to Lexington, Ky. and on yesterday, we understand, he arrived in Cincinnati.

From gentlemen who have recently re

turned from Madison county,

we learn, that three of the persons imprison

ed at Fall creek, for the murder of Logan J

an Indian chief, and several other Indians, have been brought to trial at the late session of the Circuit Court in that county; found

their own avengers, according to theiri

known custom in such cases. The hatchet was raised but the blow suspended, with the assurance that the murderers of their wives, brothers and children, should be punished with death. They have calmly awaited the issue, which no doubt will dissipate the remaining spark of disaffection; for there is no death they consider so disgraceful and mortifying to the warrior, as that of hanging. It will afford them a rich repast; their eyes

will feast unceasing pleasure on the scene.

and the smile of revenge will be depicted in every countenance of those rude sons of the forest, when they view the white man expiring in a manner so very deradin A

mode of punishishment, as they sav, only invented "io kill dogs." "Turn out."1 The Journeymen Weavers of the city of Philadelphia, to the umber of 2790 have turned out for wage. The Columbian Observer of the 21st u It. contains a preamble and a number of resolutions, in which thev declare that thev will not return to work until their wases are increased. They complain biUerlv of the treatment they have received from some of the boss weavers.

A newspaper called "The Phcenix" has been established in Williamsburg!, the early seat of government of the commonwealth of Virginia. It L nearly fitly years since a newspaper was published in that ancient metropolis, and it was tho't that the sound of the press, with the sceptre of the state, had departed forever from the venerable walls.

A punster, observing two deputy sheriffs running after an ingenious and distressed author, remarked, that it was a new edition of the "Pursuits of Literature ," unbound, but hot pressed

Among some two hundred laws passed by the legislature of Marvlar d, there were 18 for divorcing man and wife from oed and board, and nine authorizing aliens to hold real property, provided they become citizens "as soon as may he."

It is stated in the Paris Citizen, that a company of New-Yorkers in Cincinnati, propose digging a canal from the mouth of Licking river to the junction of Stoner and Hinkston, and even as far as Paris, if a sufficient quantity of water can be found. Ten years ago, the idea of cutting a canal from Newport to Pans, would have been oonsidered chimeric i and ridiculous in the ex
