PftOM THE NBW K.NGt.ANO G.VLAXV. $ AVFHJDOTK. "VVhcther founded on fact or not, it is charactcrcstic of Yankee stratagem and skill during the war of the Revolution.

A British \Varllke vessel of considerable force cruizing otF the coast of Connecticut for

some

days was a sight

not at all agreeable to the Yankees on shore, who undertook to put a stop to iuch iWIcnce. For this purpose a crew of resolute hardy fellow*, with a captain like themselves, chnrtered a •lout coasting vessel, loaded the deck to all appearence with barrels, boxes, &c.fit for the coasting trade, slowed the crew below, well armed with cutJesses, pistols and other implimcnts for ioarding, and with only hands enough jon deck to work the vessel, put to sea, and were soon in sight of the man of Jwar, which mado sail for lu the coaster pretended to crawl off as well ^as she could, but did not bo in a hur» UMbre long they were within hailing distance, when the full owing conversation cfliued:

Qipt. Jonathan. Ahoi! what vessel's that? Caj*. null."JfBrRM. man of %ar, what are you where arc you ftom and where bound

Jonathan. I'm an American coasfer from Stonington harbor, bound all^ Jong shore.

Hull. Where's Stonington lnrbor? Jonathan. You're a puttv fellow for a man of war, and don't know •where Stonington harbor is.

Bull. None of your impudence, or Til fire and sink you—what are you

gjfoaded with?

Jonathan. Sane upon deck & meat

in the hold, and the deacon1* V/e be"bidesjw fire a way and be darned, and jitave that, and see who'll pay for

Bull. Come along side you rebel jyatcal, or Til blow von *ky high. Jottalhan. Well 1 must \*pwe, for jour great gum there look darnation

.?f°lon this, Jonnthan, taking advantage of the wind, immediatlv run foul iof the British vessel, his crew rushed ,1upmJeck, provinp.to the infinite surJpriK and astonishment of the British, lhat the meat in the hold was all alive. *Thoy were wholly unprepared for resistance, surrendered at discretion.

Now," says Jonathan,44 haul down -^that 'ar tag tip there, and we'll hang j*«ip another I guc» in its place, with Ulatan and «irtjpe» on% and then show 2! tog Stonington harbor jest about 'he quickest." This was speedily accoroplished, as much to the joy awl exultattOB of the Yankees as to the chagrin 'I gad mortification of the captive*. 1

ASCENE.

Sometime during the month of May, 1830, President JACKSOH sent for Gen. GREEN, the Editor of the Telegraph, and urged him to attack Congress in his paper^ecause the Senate wouldnot confirm some of bis nomi nations. The following conversation passed between them. It will shew Gen. Jackson in his true character—impatient of restraint, vindictive, and self-willed. The manner in which he exclaims, "Let Congress go home" speaks volumes as to what the man would do, if he could!

uLet

---*&&!

Congress go home1'!exclaims the would-be Dictator. Thank God we are not yet the slaves of "King Andrew the First!1' Long live Congress, the Judiciary and the Constitution!

President.—"I hare sent for you that we may converse on the subjcct of my nominations before the Senate. It is time that you should let the people know that instead of supporting me and toy measures, Congress is engaged iu President making/'

Editor.—"I trust that yon know that I wopld not hesitate to say so if 1 believed the public interest required it, but excuse me for saying that before 1 can censure Congress for not supporting your measures, I should be possessed of the views of the administration, that I may be enabled to reply to those who ask to be infomed what those measures are."

President, (muck excited)—'"Look at my message, Bir, you will And them thQr^^in th® message, Sir."

Editor.—"Some of your best friends com plain that your message is so general in its terms, that no special measure is recommended and I bclievo that the want of concert among your friends is attributed to the fact, that there is no concert in your Cabinet. There baing no cabinet councils, there is no one whf feels authorized to recommend any measures, upon the authority of tbe administration^ becausc it is understood that no measure aie considered and adopted as such. Your friends in Congress complain that you do not hold cabinet councils."

The President, (more excitcd.)—"Let Concress go home, and the people will teach them the consequence of neglecting my mens ures and opposing mjf nominations. How didyou obtain your popularity, Sir, as an editor? Was it not by opposing Congress? Speak out to the people, Sir, and tell them that Congress are engaged in intrigues for the presidency, instead of supporting my measures, and the people will^supjjort you as a

Editor.—"You complain that the Senate have not approved of your nominations. Will it not be unwise to anticipate the ob jections of that bodyl Yonr nominations may yet be approved and if any should be rejected, there may be reasons which would justify the Senate. If I were to acsail the Senate, it would be attributed to your influ ence, and thus array against you the body itself, and those who deem it esiential to preserve its independence. I cannot know what impediments lie iu the way of your nominations, and cannot condemn until my judgment disapproves."

President—'"The people, Sir, the people will put these things to rights, and teach them what it is to oppose my nominations!!"

ATNOTE OP ALARM

kludge Ambrose Sponccr, in a letter to a friend of ours, of recent date, alluding to some remarks he had made on a public occa sion, observes—

If aught I said, ^«fh influence any iftdi vidual to oppose tbe re-election of General Jackson, it would afford me sincere gratification. I appeal to the Searchcr of Hearts when I say that I advanced nothing that did not most conscientiously believe. It appears wonderful to me that any intelligent being can read the late Veto Message without a

ronvielion

that Oen. Jackson advances doe-

trincs, tchieh, if carried out, lead to anarchy and ruin. He denies that the decisions of tbe Supreme Court of the United States arc binding on Congress, the Executive, or any other officer of Government—'and denounces the Tariff, a protective system of the United States, as an abandonment of the true prin ciples of legislation, and as improvident.

Ho has refused obedience to the act of Congress, of 1802, regulating intercourse with the Indians—in effect pronouncing it unconstitutional. He has denied the validity of all the trtaties with the Indian tribes, enterfd into ijfi Washington^ and all his predecessors

In short, he has done all that lay in his pow-

by all who went before him, and bring contempt on the Government. And it is my deep trui abiding conviction, that should he be reelected, our institutions itilt be subverted, and our national glory be destroyed

derange the policy uniformly pursued

RIVE DAI'S LATER FROM EWBOPFC

By tbe Packet ship Hannibal, Captaih Hebard, from London, left PorUmoetth oa 3d Sept. the editors oI the New York Standard bare received their regalar files of London papers to the evening of Sept. 1st, and Portsmouth papers of the 3d.

The intelligence is not very important, ttfcept as to tbe prospect of a war, which is becoming more probable daily. The German Diet at Frankfort of which so mucb has been said recently, appears to have had other designs than merely controlling the Small States.

The following i« an extract from a circular

addressed by the French Minister of War to the military authorities of the departments :—"Positive information has been received that the Frankfort Diet has selected numerous agents to be sent into all parts of France, to ascertain the number and state of discipline of all the regiments." (Here following a list of the military men, particularizing the officers of engineers, chosen by the Committee named by the Diet for this purpose.) "The Minister of War, therefore, desires the authorities to be active in their endeavors to deUct these agents, and prevent them from obtaining the information they are in search of."

The English electors appear to care very little now for the elective franchise Which they had takcto So much trouble to obtain. It is necessary to register the name of the voter, and -the fee for the registration is one shilling accounts similar to the following are coming in from all parts of the kingdom.

The number of Freeholders in the rnortb Riding, of Yorkshire who have sent in their claims to be registered is remarkably finall. In many of the parishes not above one fourth of the electors have given the requisite notice.—Leeds Intelligencer.

It is affirmed, that very few more than one third of the electors of the Northern Division of the county of Wilts have registered their votes.—Bath Chronicle.

Tho London Chronicle of Sept. 1st says, Wc have received Dutch papers to the 29th| German papers to the 15th, and French papers to the 20th inst. They contain, as usual, now, really nothing of any interest. I ho French papers seem glad of the St. Simonian trial, to make a stir about. We gave the result of it yesterday. There is no news from Oporto, but we have heard reports that the inhabitants of the interior are forming GuCriila parties in support of Don Pedro. The danger is that these Guerilia parties may be really nothing more than a sort of legitimate banditti. The grand point for Don Pedro is to keep possession of the city of Oporto. Time, accident, and foreign fchcouragement may do the rest.

The great object of interest at horte at present is the forthcoming evidence of the witnesses examined by the Bank Chartof Committee. V,

On Thurs3ay evening a Courier arrived at Paris from London with despatches for the Minister for Foreign Affairs, which were of such importance that Count d'Argout was in consequence occupied till one o'clock in the morning, when he sent off a Courier BruMcla.

The Breton, of Nantes, or the 11th inst. has the following extract of a letter of the 26th ult. from Boiirbon Vendee: "The Chouans have wilhirti the last few days made their appearance almost at the gates of this town, in the c'otnmune of Closeaux, and ulso at Gcnetouse, on the road to Sables d'Olonnc. On Thursday upwards of twenty of them entered the house of Madame Millet, within the township of Clouseaux, took her keys, searched her house, and carried off two bags of money, one dontaining 1)000 and thcoth' er 300 fr.

The disturbances at Moritpellier 'wbfC re ncwed on the evening of the 24th instant.— Some Carlists of the lower class went to Le Hcyron, armed with bludgeons, where a few republicans were singing patriotic songs. Shouts of bas les Rejmblicains! A has les Carlistes! were immediately exchanged between them. Some of the Carlists even cried five le Drapue Blanc! A Commissary of Police, accompanied by a military detachment, proceeded to the spot, and dispersed the crowd that had assembled round the combatants and seven of the legitimists Were arrested. No attempt to disturb public order was afterwards made.—GalignanVs McsrSt a

DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.—A part of the extremity of Long Wharf fell in a few weeks ago, and in order to construct machinery for the use of a diving bell to fish up stone, Mr. Almoran Holmes an ingenious machjnest, was brought on from Philadelphia for the purpose. The arrangements having been completed under his direction, ycsterd.iy the bell was lowered into the water, and after being drawn up, Mr. Holmes remarked tlwt he wouW go under it to ascertain how much water would be forced into it in its descent. The bell was suspended at the time a little above the surface of the water, so that his feet could be seen as he stood upright within it At that moment, one of the ropes that suspended the bell broke, and the bell fell with great force into the water, carrying Mr. Holmes with it as it sunk. An inclosure had been made around the machinery to protect it from injury, within which there were 6 or 7 persons standing. As the rope broke, tbe upright spars fell, and one of them striking Mr. James Kirk wood, elderly man, brosing him so severely that he died in about half an hour# A young man, named George T. Devereaux, was caught by tbe leg by one of the ropei, which broke it jmt above the knee.

The body of Mr. Holmes #as found in about three bourt.

W«Jd you beeured of Cholera, taktt (he ti«eat»e in tube.

In this stage it is easily carer. and all who neglect this stage are in danger of perishing. Whoever has a tec oriirbm at stomach, or coiit. should instantly take toAiiM, in a warm room, and drink hot tea of sage, baim, or thorovgkwort, or eoen hot tenter bathing kit feet, if cold.

Without this, nothing will do any goodall who go about in tbe damp air after the bowel complaint has set in, will get cramps and spasms and .die—I again say they will die!

Besides what I have mentioned, tbey should take a powder, of ten grains of Calomel and one of Opium mixed, if grown person*, and children should take less in pro--portion or a teaspoonful of powdered Rhubarb.

They should, also, take a spoonful, evefy hour, of the Aromatic Camphorated water which is a cheap article, and may be bttd of most of the Apothecaries.

All who are of a full habit, or have fever, or colic, should be bled. Again let me Warn every one, that the dreadful Epidemic commences as a mild bowel complaint, dnd in that stage may be cured—when vontiting, toidness and spasms oombined, come on, death will follow *hns followed, in almost every fcasethat has yet occurred in the city. He who goes about with a #tW cumphunt^about him should expect to perish."

The Epidemic Vould lose all its terrors, if people would attend* instantly, to the first symptoms—go to bW, drink hot water or tea, promote a perspiration, and send for their family Physician.

Terror is a great exciting cause. The disease produced by terror requires treatment. Let no one presume to laugh another out of his fears. All the terrified should take to their beds—this will best counteract this bad effect.

Let all who read what is here written, recount it to their friends. Let us unite in aiding each other for a few dkys^-the Pcsti lential cloud will Sdod pass away. (Signed)

SEDUCTION AXD 8UICIDK. An inquisition was, on Saturday, taken at St. Bortholometf's Hospital, before Mr Payne, the city coroner, and a most respec table Jury, touching the death of Sarah Sheffield, a fine young woman, eighteen years of age, who terminated her existence by poison. The young Woman, who was much esteemed, was tho daughter of Mr. Sheffield. About two months ago, Henry Sheffield, a young man, who is fir*t cdusin to the deceas ed, became most assiduous iu his attention to her, and at length prevailed upon her, un def a promise of marriage, to elope. After living together for a short time, at No Great Arthur street, Goswell street, th* young woman pressed him to make her his wife. On his refusal to do no, she seized a knife, with which she made desperate at tempt to cut her throat, and it was with difficulty that it was wrested from her. The distracted state of the unhappy girl's mind however, failed in making the least impres sion upon the obdurate heart of her relative who threatened to abandon his victim and to add to her distress and misery, her friends having heard that she was living in an im proper way, turned their backs upon her, and her father refused again to shelter her.—

Under these circumstances, she procured, on Thursday last, an ounce of oxalic acid which she mixed in some water, and swal lowed the deadly draught in the presence of her lover. She began to vomit| when Mr Williams, surgeon, of Aldersgate street, was sent for. She told him what she had taken, and that she wished to die. Sheffield, who was present, evinced much apathy as to the fate of his victim. Mr. Williams noticed this, and asked why he did not assist his unfortunate wife? The deceased, on hearing this, faintly cxclamcd, I'm no wife of his he has ruined mcand caused my father to closc his door on me!" Sheffield did not seem affert6d by tho dying exclamation of the young woman but calmly taking up his hat, walked out of the' apartment. After some antidotes had been administered, the deceased was conveyed to the Hospital, where she expired in great agony on the following morning. Tbe Coroner having censured, in the most unmeasured terms, the unfeeling conduct of Sheffield, the Jury returned tho following verdict: lThat the de* ceased took poison in a state of insanity^ produced by the bad conduct of Henry Shef-field."—-[LOSDOS PAPE*.]
