From the Frankfort Argii: VHE BATTLE OF THE THAMES, . No event, during the late war with Great fcritairi, W a more important influence maon the American cause, than the victory at the battle of the Thames, toother with that of Perry upon the Lake. It gave uspossession of a large portion of the Province of Upper Canada, which we held until the end of the war. The possession cf this territory had great influence upon our negotiations at Ghent in repelling the extravagant "demands of the British government, and Obtaining for us an honorable peace. We took upwards of six hundred prisoners, including twenty-five oflicers, whidh enabled us greatly to mitigate the horrors of savage warfare, by threatening to retaliate upon those prisoners, if the
British permitted a repetition ot the cruelties per
PRIVATE BUSSIAN ASSEMBLIES. When Catharine Alexowna was made empress of Russia, the womi were in an actual state of bondage; but she uiKrtook to introduce mixed assemblies, as in other parts of Europe; she altered the women's dress, by substituting the fashions of England: instead of furs, she brought in the use of taffets, and damask, and coronets, and commodes, instead of caps and sable. The women now found themselves no longer shut up in separate apartments, but saw company, visited each other, and were pre
sent at every entertainment. But as the laws to
this effect were directed to a savage people, it is amusing enough to see the manner in which the ordinances ran. Assemblies were quite unknown among them; the Czarina was satisfied with introducing them, for she found it impossible to render them polite: an ordinance was therefore oublished

What adds to die singularity of the affair, is the fact, that just before touching the water, tbe barrel must have taken a leap offan abrupt cliff, about 10 feet, and it is one of the most remarkable things that the little fellow's life was preserved; but not only this, we believe he received not the slightest injury.

So much had been said in New Orleans against the practicability of towing a ship to Natchez, that the tow-boats were .induced to charge more than they otherwise would. The people of New Orleans, w ho have made themselves busy irt the affair have paid dearly for their opposition. No less than $25,000, we understand, was bet against the time it would take the Whale to bring the St. Louis to Natchez, and against the practicability of bringing her here at all. Those who bet against the time, gave her from GO to 60 hours to perform the trip. The trip was made in 45 running hours, or 50 hours between port and port, so that the friends of Natchez won every bet. Courier.
A Villain almost caught. We published, on Monday last, an account of a forgery, by which the ,93000 was drawn from the Western Bank of Pennsylvania, on a draft altered from $00. The amount was p- id in five $iQGM) notes, one $500, one $100, and the balance in smaller bills. One of the $1000 notes, (a particular description of which had ben issued by the bank,) w is presented on Saturday afternoon, at the Exchange of
fice of Messrs Cough and Herring, in this city. Mr. Herring, iii.t having at hand the advertisement of the bank, went out, taking the note with him, for the purpose of indentifying it. During bis absence, the maa took the alum, and left the office, with ihe remade, that he would be back m a minute." Th's, lowever, he has entirely forgotten to do; and ihe note remains in Mr. II. 's possession. It is much to Ik regrettetl th it the man who presented it effected his escape, as his arrest would probably have led t the recovery of the residue of the money, as wel! as the just punishment of the guilty.

Female Heroism and Longevity. Amazonian deeds appear not to have become extinct with the ancients. Modern times have furnished very rare examples of female intrepidity and deeds of darino-. Brighton churchyard affords one record of the kind, as it contains a tomb bearing the followiug inscription: "Sacred to the memory of Phojbe Hassell, born September first, 1713. She served for many years as a private soldier in the fifth regiment, in different parts of Europe; and, in 1755. fought under the duke of Cumberland, in the battle of Fontenoyvliere she received a bayonet wound in her arm. Her long life, which commenced in the reign of queen Anne, induced his majesty, George IV, to grant her a pension.

Attempt to Kill. On Monday noon a colored
man who keeps a barbershop at the foot ofGoverneur's street, wis brought to the Police office on u charge pre fi-red against him of having attempted io take the life of a person in his store. It appeared that two or ;hree days agOj this person who is a vender of wooden clocks, prevailed upon the barber to let him jut np one of his articles in his store on trial, and he called yesterday morning lo see how it was liked. Not finding the man in, and learning from the boy who was in attendance that the clock did not altogether suit, he got upon a chair to take it down: while in this situation the barber came in and before h was aware siezed a razor and made a piss at his throat, which it fortunately missed, bu1 inflicted a gash nearly six inches long, extending from just below his car to his chin, and which penetrat -d to the bone. A physician was immediately called to dress the wound, and he stated that if it had been half ah inch lower it would have severed the carotid artery and consequently have killed the unfortunate man instantly.

It is no longer a question of war with the rebels. Victoria in a storlie made out of Puebla with a force of 1,100 men and three pieces of artillery chastised 'J000 men commanded by Montano and Lea Pem z, about the environs of Tal incingo. Col.

The rebels, Perez, Palacois and Escahd.i, wcra at tbe hacienda de San Gabriel with their soldiers, who had been put to the rout, and some men whom Moreno had himself brought from Chilapa.

A. Desperate Villain. On Monday morning, about. four o'clock, Mr. Anderson one of the city marsh ils was called to No 120 Cherry street to arrest John Brads! iav, a Spanish negro; who had
nearly killed two of the inmates of ihe house,
James Painter with whom he slept, and a lad about
12 years of age, son of Mrs. Johnson, the woman with whom he board, d. The blood thirsty villain had been intoxicated the night previous and had told his landlady that he must and would kill somebody before he slept; but she considering it as nothing more than the ravings of a drunkard, took no notice of him, except persuading lvrn to go lo bed. About three o'clock in the morning, hearing a noise n his room she ijotup and looking through a window, saw him wilh a butcher's knife in his hand standing over Painter who lay asleep, with which he stabbed h;m just above the elbow of bis rigid rm, then p:eked up a carpenter's hammer and struck him m violent blow on the bend wh'ch nearly
fractured his skull. He then went lo the bed of
he boy and slabbed him, once under the collar one, agiin in his breast, and then struck him on he head wilh the hammer. Painter though severely, is not dangerously wounded, but no hopes ne entertained of young Johnson's recovery. Bradslmv is now in Bridewell. Ibid.

This reminds us of a case tint occurred a few years since in Havana. An American gentleman was walking through n publicstreet early in the evening, when a Spaniard came up behind him, reached his hand over his shoulder, and plunged his knife into his bosom! As the poor victim lay on the ground writhing in agony, the assassin caught a glimpse of his countenance by the gleam of a distant lamp, and apolog'zed for the deed declaring upon his honor, that he mistook' him for another individual and humbly begged his pardon! The poor fellow died the next day. Lowell Journal From the Boston Courier. Late froji Portugal. The Cordelia, from fiv wliir-li n rr! t.-r.f 1 I ifirn inct( iwbio morninrt

During the last week the strong positions around the city had been preparing and fortifying, against any attack the Miguelites may attempt. At present little is known of their numbers, or where they are possibly in a line from Santarcm lo Lcira, Figuira and Coim-bra.
1 he force nf Donna Maria hero, am! a few leagues in advance, may be six to eight thousand regular troops, and twelve to fifteen thousand others, with four hundred cavalry and two parks of artillery. We are therefore not in much apprehension of the enemy cnteiing the city. Mercantile business is nearly at a stand, without any intercourse with the province of Spain.
We have advices from Oporto of ihe destruction ' of some twelve thousand p:p s of wine by the Mi-!
guelite army at ilh -Nova, also ol the liberal army attacking the Migucjitc lines, forced them, and gained a complete victory, so as to leave the north s'de open, and report says, the south also, and a free navigation of the Douro. Ferdinand, King of Spain, is dead. Don Carles and followers, are siid to be on their way from this country to Spain.
This plant, we believe, is known nniong u by tbo ..mu wi tLo wild Donna Maria de (Horia. It is stated in tho English papers, that this extraordinary product of legitimacy, has rejected the proposals of tho Duko tie Nemours, and openly avowed a decided prefer
ence for the Duke or Leuchtcmbergh. She must be n premature little spring of royally, to fall in love at so early an age. But we presume person of that class come lo maturity sooner than the vulgar. There are some curious instances of prematurity in Tristram Shandy, and the whimsical author cites the case of tho great scholar Lipsius, who composed a work tho very day ho was born. But these instances are not so well authenticated as the pre ference oflililo Donna Marin for the fortunate Duke of Leuchtembergli. JV. Y. four.

Resistance of an officer. Wo Ienrn tint an outrageous affray took' place at East Windsor during tho last week. A man by tho name of John Bancroft, jun. was prosecuted for an assault and battery committed on tho body of a man by tho name ofPosco, and Mr. Chester Belknap, n constable of that town, sent to arrest him. Bancroft armed himself with a scythe and took post at tho head of ihe stairs awaiting the arrival of the officer. On his arrival and attempt to m ike the arrest, Bancroft struck him with bis scythe across the head, cut through his hat and wounded bis face severely, and finally laid him senseless on the floor. After considerable dillicully Bancroft was arrested on ibo warrant and, for waul of bail, committed to the jail in this city lo await bis trial before the November term of the County Court. At which time he will doubtless be called upon to answer for his resistance of the law, and his brutal attack upon oiih of its oflicers. Hartford lievicw.
