Tardy showed :be witness the false papers, ob tainedjm .Havana for the vessel, and said they cot him 25 doubloons. The rea

son he gave the witness for saving his life was, that he was his countryman; that he had been a Pirate for a great white, and had never injured a French man, and should not commence then. The same pretext was given to this wit ness as to Dobson for the massacre, arid of the ulterior views of the party. When near St. M try's Tardy proposed to lei him go on shore, and to give him $5(3 to near his expenses by land to rl. York.

He told the tame story with the mate s as to I heir ar rival in the Chesapeake, the pilots, the conduct of Tardy, and the escape of Dobson in the boat at Old Point Com fort. As soon as Dobson made off in the boat, Tardy appeared to be greatly nlarmed, said two or three words to Dobson who replied in one word; none of which he understood. Tardy then told him he was a lost man. An American vessel had anchored not far off, and Tardy spoke it and obtained from it the use of their long boat to send to the shore for his own and two hands to row it. In thU boat the three Spaniards embarked rafter getting some distance they returned, saving they could not get the boat; but Tardy ordered them to proceed, and they did so; but the Spaniards not going

He was the pilot that went on board the vessel and conducted it to Old Point. His testimony corres ponded with that of Dobson and the last witness, as to events after his going on' board. He witnessed the tragical end of Tardy, and upon rushing upon deck and calling out for assistance, saw the officers from Old Point boarding the Yessel. Captain N. G.

application for a statement of certain pohtical sentiments uttered by Mr. jeiterson, some time in the year 1825, I must remark that I do not now consider myself at liberty, after your request to with hold it from your paper. My opinion has ever been this, that in a free and equal society, upon public matters of such extreme importance, the public are entitled to demand, through any of their organs of communication, the sentiments of public characters of long and high standing, from themselves, and most assuredly so after their decease, from persons to whom they have been unreservedly made known. I was induced to relate what I had heard, the first time I did relate it, by ome illiberal expressions applied to Gen. Jackson; a conduct which would have been perhaps still more revolting to my feelings in regard to Mr. Adams; for both are fully worlhv m my estimation of the high honor they receive from their fellow citizens at present ; but the former I have never yet seen The occasion of which you speak, when we were all present at the reading of General Jackson's reply to Mr. Clay, was, I candidly think, the second time I ever mentioned the fact in question. I am very sure I did hear Mr. Jeff-rson say, and I think it was about the last of July, or the first of August, 1825, but it might have been in Decem ber, that it was fortunate for the country that General Jackson was likely to he (it for public life four years after; for in him seemed the only hope left of avoiding the dangers manifestly about to arise out of the broad construction given to the constitution of the United States, which etlaced all limitation of powers, and left the general government, by thecharacter was plainly enough about to be totally changed, and that a revolution, which had hitherto been indistinct!) contemplated at a very great distance, was now, suddenly and unexpectedly, bro't close to our view. Of General Jackson from having observed his conduct, while a senator of the United States, when he was Vice president himself. He had no doubt that if General Jackson should be brought into office to correct the alarming tendency towards formidable evils beginning to develop itself in the administration of the general government, he would be entirely faithful to 7 C that object. This conversation took place either immediately after the con vention in Staunton, of 1825, or in De cember following; and it was the last fre expression or nis sentiments, J ever heard. A calamtious change in the private affiirs of both having occurred greatest interests. Having been an elector myself,' in 1824, when Mr. Crawford a personal Towards Mr. Clay, as a politician, he constantly manifested a very strong repugnance, and often said that he was merely a splendid orator, without any valuable knowledge from experience or

ca-jstudv, or any determined public princi-ises,

trine, and political economy upon which they differed so widely. I went determined to vote for Mr. Adams in case Mr. Crawford should be acknowledged indisputably out of condition to serveft did not appear to me that Mr. Jefferson ever vieycd Mr. Clay in the light he is now viewed by numbers, as a man likely to be dangerous to the Union from his principles; or that he ever contem plated for him-any other elevation Mian that which he had already enjoyed in the house of representatives. Should Mr. Clay demonstrate to the world ihat Mr. Jefferson underrated him, I shall be among the first to acknowledge a genuine feeling of civic pride at it; for he is a Virginian, and my strongest public attachment of all is to the prosperity, and honor of Virginia. If what I have said should excite resentment, I shall hold Mr. Clay, and him only, responsible to me for any improper expression of that feeling. With great respect, Til: M. RANDOLPH.

TJ7K Gi?EArS A trisi3 appears toi be fast approaching in the affairs of this unhappy people. The long talked of "pacification of Greece," is at length in the progress of consummation. But it is Rich a pacification as can scarcely be more acceptable to the heroes of Missolonghi, than even their present desperate condition. The Greeks are to obtain

peace, but at a price which no Greek can pay, that of absolute vassalnge to the Turk; they are to obtain freedom, but it is such freedom only as the Holy Alli ance deem the common held of mankind worthy of it is indeed the freedom of the Eagle in an iron cage. The Greeks are to be free and independent, but they are to pay an annual tribute to the Turk; they are to choose their own rulers, but the Turk may confirm or reject their nominations! I his is the sum and substance of the treaty for the pacification of Greece, entered into by the "high powers" of Europe , and it remains to he seen, whether the Greeks will not rather persevere in the desperate conflict until their last warrior shall have fallen in the cause of freedom, than accept of such degrading terms. This world, however, is a world of policy, and no one seems to suffer in its estimation, from the adop tion ot means, however degrading, that policy may dictate to t ffect a denred ob ject. Therefore, policy may induce the Greeks to accept the olive branch, and the wreath of freedom, though the one be a branch of thorns, and the other a chaplet of iron, until they shall have had time to renovate their exhausted powers, and become able not only to pay the Turk his tribute in the coin in which the United States paid theirs, but to spurn the proffered friendship of nations whose notions of the rights of man admit the idea of paying tribute for freedom.

Some years ago I made an ice-house, on the principles and in manner following: Vent was an essential object; and dryness with coolness, led me to the design of insulating the mass with a bed of straw, surrounding a pen of logs, which was to contain the ice. The pit was dug on a spot open to wind'

and sun, for the sake of dryness. It was'ns foretold in scripture, I testify, consid

nine feet deep. Within it was the pen of logs, of that depth, and nine feet

square in the clear, it contained but a thing but the tiuth. little more than 700s.did feet? onlj halt GABRIEL CRANE, the quantity stored in cooimon ice-pits. N. B.

The followingrocanialon, copied from the Kentucky Reporter, proves that Thomas Clark, who was lately tried for blasphemy, is not the only pretender, of the present day, to divine authority and powers; for in it, Gabriel Crane calls upon the Preachers of the Gospel, in the name of God, to send him money in order to enable him to fulfil the sovereign purposes of God's Grace. It appears thaf this same Crane, some time ago, called upon all Editors of Newspapers, through the medium of the Scioto Gazette, to give him pecuniary aid. The

Editor of the Scioto Cnzettc . marking

upon this proclamation, observes: "It is not indeed very surprising, that his -.ittempts to get money should prove unsuc cessful; when instead of calling upon those who abound in worldly goods, he applies first, to the Editors of newspapers and next, to the Preachers of the Gospel two classes of persons w ho are hut seldom overburthened with "the Mammon of unrighteousness" for the means of discharging his holy functions." Our Brethren, we admit, are not usually over burdened wiihflthy lucre, and in applying to them, Mir prophet certainly displayed but little discernment. His present requisition from the "favored servants" of the most High, is, in our opin-; ion, better timed; for the Preachers of the Gospel, in almost all countries, have usually succeeded in accumulating at leatt their share of "the Mammon of unrighteousness."

Pear Trees. During the two last

lyears the pear trees were affected, with a disease, which withered their foliage, suspended the circulation through the, branches, and left the marks of death and Sccay to attest its destructive power. Many attempts at explanation were made. One distinguished agriculturalist attributed the blight to the operations of an insect preying on the heart. Oih ers considered it as the result of a vnpension of circulation occasioned by the. extraordinary dryness of the season, ft has recentl) been attributed to the exhausted condition of the tree, f!i v.ii rapid growth or abundant production ot fruit. That the latter cannot be tha correct account of the source of that evil so destructive to the orchard, i i dent from the fact, that trees which have never produced fruit are solely atllicted and those w hose growth has (seen slow are miserably withered, while others, whose branches have been bent with the weight of the delicious harvest, in successive seasons, flourish in health and vigorous freshness. To whatever cause the origin of the evil is to be attributed, there seems no doubt existiig of the mea sures to be adopted to check its progress it not work its cure. All writers agree, that the pruning knife, must be used on the affected parts, w ith unsparing hand, and the diseased branches cut off as soon as possible. The operation where? the blight has fastened itself firmly, is one ot melancholy effect on the beauty and symmetry of the tree, and rendered more dangerous from the season when the wounds it occasions are to be exposed to the burning sun of summer; hut the preservation of the life of the tree may well be procured by the sacrifice of fair proportions and goodly shape. fVor.
