head of two hundred horse, threw himself upon the works to force his way into the enemy's rear. Receiving a mortal wound, this brave ofiicer fell; and his fate arrested the gallant effort which might have changA th inn of the day. Repulsed in every
point of attack, the allied generals drew off their troops. The retreat was effected in
cood order; no attempt to convert it into rout being made by the British general. Count d'Estaing, who, with general Lincoln, rmirtfid danger to give effect to the as-
lult was wounded. Captain Tawes, of
the provincial troops, signalized himself by his intrepidity in defending the redoubts committed to his charge, the leading points of our assault. He fell dead at the gate, with his sword plunged into the body of the third enemy, whom he had slain." . Pulaski died two days after the action, and congress resolved that a monument should be erected to his memory.
Translated for the N. Y. Nat. Advocate. PROCLAMATION OF DON PEDRO I. To the Brazilians. Comrades! The honor of the nation and mine, are offended in the incendiary wri
tings, manifests, and proclamations, in which the intrusive President of Pemambuco. Man
uel de Carvallo Paes d'Andrada, and his faction, dared, (Heavens what an attempt!) to declare a federation. What greater insult
can there be, than to go against the general
opinion of the nation, who embraced the con
stitution offered by me, and sworn to by you.
and which requires that I should be respect
cd as I ought. To say that the actual system is not good; and that a federal one is Letter; does it not cry to Heaven for vengeance? To say in his manifests that I am a traitor to. Brazil; that I do not fulfil the title of Perpetual Defender except in Rio Janeiro; that I ought to be abandoned; that I have no right to govern you What do such insults demand ? Say, certainly such a punishment as may serve for an example, even to posterity. Infamous factionaries, say in your consciences (if you have any) are you aware of what you have written and said? Being false, as it is, might you not be punished in the face of the whole world ? Honest and dear Brazilians, if the inferior authorities are to be respected, how much more so ought not the government; how much more ought not your Emperor; the latter having been chosen voluntarily by you ; the latter having, even before he was an Emperor, always supported your rights; the lat
ter bavins been the one who, in the face of
the whole world, has appeared constitutional through principle; having been the one who always defended you, and shall defend you; and," finally, the latter having been the one who wishes to see you free, and therefore offers you a monarchical constitution, this beiner of all others the most liberal.
Brazilians, if this be not the opportunity for me to save your honor, and for you that of your Emperor, one more fit will never offer, and the beautiful Brazilian soil will be lacerated by anarchy. Well then, my friends, let us put an end, not only in Pernambuco, hut throughout Brazil, and, if possible, throughout the icorld, to the demagogues and revolutionists who, representing themselves to the people as philanthropists, never loved mankind, never wisbed to see a single nation happy, but only wished to grasp riches and authority, without caring for any thing else. France and the South American States will sec, and even now they see, the benefits resulting from such friends of the people. BraziCurifortunatcly for lls? begins
now to feel her evils. We swear the integrity of the empire; it shall be maintained. We swear, lastly, a constitution; it shall rule forever overall the Brazilian soil. The Constitutional Emperor, the Perpetual Defender of Brazil. Rio de Janeiro, July 27, 1323.
SO 27777 AMERICA. The latest accounts from Rio de la Plata, represent the state of matters at Buenos
Ayres, as likely to involve the Brazilian Emperor in a struggle with the patriots; the issue of which, especially if it is true, as is
said, that Bolivar is at the bottom of the late revolt, appears to be no way doubtful. The Liberator is believed to have an understanding with Buenos Ayres, and to have induced the latter to cause a rupture with his imperial majesty, in order that he, (Bolivar) may have a plea for marching from one end of Brazil to tbe other, and establish a republican government. Tbc northern provinces, where discontent was prevailing, were expected to revolt on hearing the intelligence from the River Plate. It cannot scarcely be expected, after tbe rapid progress which liberal
opinions have made in South America, that
tbe patriots will lav down their arms until
they have rooted out every vestige of former tyranny. Democracy and royalty are
so incompatible, that they cannot exist long
in each other s neighborhood.
The French commissioners in Peru and
Chili, have been ordered by the respective
governmen ts of these republic?, to leave them in twenty-four hours. The one is accused of having interfered in concerns of importance, and endeavored to overthrow the gov
ernment; the other of openly applauding, at the bar of Congress, the cries of the dis
orderly, who had called for a dissolution of
that body.
GREECE.
From tbc New York Daily Advertiser the
following letter is copied. ZANTE, June. 21.
"We arc assured that Jussuf Pacha has stripped Patras and the Castles of provisions and men, to carry them to Salona, and that at present there are only provisions for one month and not more than three hundred men
in the garrison. If this be true, it is likely
I may be enabled to inform you in a short time, of the capture of Patras, and this will be a magnificent blow. Twelve thousand
men under the command ofZaimis, Londo,
&c. will march against this fortress; and by - . 1 lit l,S 11
sea it is well guarded by eight ureciv ongs. Thus things go on this side, they seem to be
equally well prepared against Ibrahim Pa
cha. Colocotroni will have in arms at least 20,000 men, they say 30,000. He is a goed
General, expert, and most popular, perhaps
the only one capable ot managing u larg( body of men, without order or discipline
When I passed through the Morca the other day, I found in the village only women, girls,
old men, and a few priests; every one ha gone with Colocotroni; they feel the great
est confidence in him, and call him their
father and their ancient friend. 1 had a lonr
conversation with him in Trippolizza, 10 days ago, (8th June;) he showed me much politeness, told me he should march in two days, and invited me to his camp on my return, lie sent many compliments to all the English, and said that the free English nation only excited others to liberty; that he felt much obliged to the English for the many favors conferred on the Greeks, who would not prove unworthy of them, and would never forget them; that he knew his own strength and that of the enemy, and felt secure of ultimate success; that discord had hitherto been tbe caiii-e of all their misfortunes, but should his example be followed, they would always see him the foremost against the enemy, and the most obedient to the lav s of his country."

BOLIVAR. It has already been stated in the Colombian papers, that two attempts had been made to assassinate the Liberator Bolivar. A letter from Bogota, published in the London journals, says that this friend of man
kind had escaped the dagger of the assassin,
which had been raised against him, no less
than seven or eight times. In the recent se
cret murder, at Lima, of Mr. Monteagudo, it was ascertained, on examining the body, that he had been stabbed with a sharp in
strument. This led to the examination of
all the cutlers in the city, when one of them stated that he had sharpened two poinards, at the request of a negro, with whose name he was unacquainted, but that he should know him if he saw him again. "A proclamation (continues the writer) was immediately issued, ordering a general enlistment for the army, but excepting all slaves and black men. ft was a trap laid them as necessary for the service of the city; to which effect they were ordered to call for a bill of exception at the office of the Adjutant Gen
eral. They presented themselves accord
ingly; and the cutler, who was concealed, easily knew tbe owner of the two poinards,
who having been suddenly grasped, as the murderer of M. Monteagudo, and asked
where the two poinards were, answered by
The. Devil-Sticker of South America. In many of the huts or habitations in the Indian villages passing up the great rivers, is to be found the devil-sticker. It is of a soft, spongy nature and smooth skin, not unlike the laige slug of England. It is brought into the hut with the fire-wood, or it may creep in from the outside unperceived. It, however, crawls up the side wall, and getting on the edge of the rafters of the cealing, to which it adheres, it looks like a small ball, or, more properly, like the slug coiled up. It is frequently known to drop from its hold without being molested, and wherever it falls it throws out from its body five or six
fangs, which are barbed like a fish-hook, and into whatever softer material than brick or stone it chances to fall, these flings enter; nor can it be removed unless by cutting the
animal off and picking the prongs out ot the substance into which they arc so firmly fas
tened. When they fall on the persons of
those who happen to sit or stand underneath,
the consequence is dreadful. 1 saw one
man, who an hour or two before had one of
these devils alight on hi hand, and he wa
obliged to have it cut otT, and the claws and
fangs removed by picking them out with the
point of a large needle. His hand was nn
moderately swelled, and very painful; but
an immersion in warm oil or tat removed the pain, and restored the hand to its usual
appearance.

From the Monroe Republican. Hanging in a nctc way Yesterday a black
boy in this village, abont 8 years old; acci-
dentallv hung himself in a singular and dan
gerous manner. Having mounted a, horse,
he tied the halter around his neck with a slip-noose, to prevent its dragging under the
horse's feet. Contrary to the fellow's expectations, on returning from the watering place, the horse sat out on a gallop, and, turning suddenly, threw the boy the halter's length, at which the horse took fright and ran furiously through the stable, beating unmercifully the lad's head against the stalls, thence into the street and crossed it twice before he was stopped when the boy was taken up the halter had deeply cut around his neck, but that and the other wounds are considered curable.
