From the N. Y. Courier sod Enquirer. CONSCIENTIOUS MI8KR. An old Dutchman named Shumm, who lived in one of the wretehed hovels that stand in the rear of Sheriff street, and whose apparent poverty and manifest *uffe rings from a dreadful case of hernia had long excited the sympathy of his burtfane neighbors, died on I riday last of asthma Hnd a complication of other diseases. He was well known to be of a very obstinate and eccentric despnsition and although he had been confined to his bed several weeks, he not only rejected all medical aid, but persisted to the last in his singu'ar finbit of sleeping in the whole of his wardrobe, which consisted chiefly of a p^ir of breeches, thai at some remote era had been consfructed of blue velvet, a sailor's Jacket, arid a frize over-coat which all exhibited accumulated -proofs ol the old •nan's attachment. On Wednesday, he *ent for Mr. M. Van Duersen, a respectable countryman of his, residing in the iu «eWoiiood, vho hnd oft^n given hinr ctwitabfc relief, and privately requested tiim to ri^ake i»is Will! To-this gentleman's griit surprise he bequeathed various corns •f monry, amounting altogether to 3,700 dollars, to children nn 1 grand children reiidingat Nemuk and Albany 4ind confidently informed him where his property wa* deposited# lie then narrated Jo Mr. Vai» Duerse'n the following remarkable factsjn his history: lie stated that about 20 year3 ago he s*was a porter to a mercant ile house in Ham"burgh, and,having been long in its employ, was frequently entrusted with considerable horns of money for conveyance to other establishments. 1ft an hour cf evil influence he was induced to violate his trust, and abscond to thi$ country with a large «um. Having arrived, lie invested the greater part of it in the purchase of two -liousnf. which adjoined each other, and which, before he elR-cted an insurance on ihem, were burnt to the ground. Considering this a judgement of heaven upon liis dishonesty, he determined to devote the remainder of his life to a severe course of industr) and parsimony, with a single object in view of making lull restitution to the persons whom he had injured, or to their descendants. lie jwhipte'd another name, and, with

K}lti

ness though his tr*de was a retail one, and he had again suffered a heavy loss from fire, be had succecdcd five jears since, in acquiring sufficient property to accomplish bis just and tlevated purpose. He then, wccordingl), sold his stock in trade, and was preparing to transmit the necessary amount to Hamburgh, where the mercan*

tile firm he had defrauded still continues,

when he ascertained that it had a branch establishment or Agency counting bouse at Philadelphia. Thither he went, and paid the sum of 1 i,0(0 dollars being equivalent to the original sum he had embezzled, wilh a certain rate of inteiest. The latter, however, was generosly letnrned to him by son of one of the partners, and fhis, together with some surplus money, he has bequeathed as above stated. For the last live years he has lived in utter obscurity, and in severe accordancc wilh his long formed habits of parsimony

His executor, Mr. Van Duersen,found the above named sum of $3700 principally in doubloons, curiously secreted in a certain private department of the tenacious breeches before specified an it was ascertained that the old nnn's dreadful case of hernia^ was a ease of something far less objectionable.

The remainder of his money was found under the patches of his jacket, with the exception of a small sum in shillings and sixpences discovered in an old snuff jar, which seems to have been the depository of his current funds.

ADVICK TO YOUiNU MKN".

It 13 highly important, my young friends (bat you early acquire and establish habits economy in matters of expense. It Is important to your own present welfare—to your success in the world, as to the welfare of your country. Young people are apt to entertain extravagant and absurd notions of life—to estimate enjoyments by the money they cost to choose enjoyments which arc expensive, and connected with display. But you may depend upon it, the most valuable enjoyments are easily obtained they cost but little money, and lire within the reach of all, of the poor as well as the rich. If a persou's design is to secure such privileges and enjoyments only ad are connected wilh virtue, with stvbriety, intellectual improvement, and elevation of character,he may carry bis designs into operation with very limited funds. It is di«sipation,sensual enjoyments, enjoyments which have no moral tendency, it is such enjoyments as these (hat cost money, and rj&f often put young pensons upon disagreeable expedients to meet their expenses. The truth is a man's indispensable wants are few but those wants which their folly has created* or fehich the absurd customs of society have imposed—these yragto are alt expensive and they do more than a little to prevent v^ng people from riling in the world to liMg oo failures, dikcouragenn^nU, habit* of iatenperpace and crime*

RELATIONS WITH FRANCE,

On a haaty perusal of that part of the President's Message relating to our affairs with France, together with the remedy proposed to enforce the conditions of the treaty, the press, without reference to party distinction, were* of opinion that France is altogether in the wrong, and that the honor of the nation might possibly call for an appeal toarms&hould the French Government perisist in its refusal to do us justice. We are, however, a thinking people—and more considerate and close examination of both sides of this question haa induced many to pause before we entirely condemn the French government,and to hesitate before we adopt the proposed remedy to redress our wrongs. It is not in the nature of auy government to reject a treaty without some cause, nor should we insist upon the ratification of any part of that treaty if it is shown that it was founded in error. Nations, in this respect, are like individuals, and mutual errors must be corrected. We propose to hear both sides of the question, and with this view we subjoin the proceedings of the Chamber of Deputies on a debate for making the appropriations to carry the treaty into effect for by the charter of the French government, although the treaty making power is in the king and his cabinet, yet payment of all subsidies growing out of treaties must be authorized by the Chamber of Deputies in the same manner that Congress must consent to all appropriations to carry treaties into effect. And here it is proper to state, that the King of the French has been most uncourteously treated by the President, in being accused, with the Chamber of Deputies, of a breach of faith, when it is certain that the King did all in his power to carry that treaty into fleet but he had the people against him and could not control the Chamber of Deputies and this attack on Louis Philippe, we are apprehensive, may wound the feelings of a high-minded and gallant people—because, as the King can do no wrong according to the principles of a monarchical goveminent, an attack on his character as a gentleman,or a man of honor, is considered, and justlj* so, as an attack on the nation.

We ascribe all these difficulties to the employment of Mr. Rives in this'negotiation—a young man of talents, no doubt,but an unfledged diplomatist, who, throughout the whole affair, hud more in view the glorification of the administiation and his own personal advancement than the direct interest of the claimants. After forcing 1 His treaty through the French Cabinet, thouglnnformed by M. Perrier, the Prime

pen

quietly until the Chambers meet and the appropriation is made the moment the King and, Cabinet signs the treaty, he thrusts it in his pocket, jumps on board ship, arrives home, and in the triumph of the moment, in his letters, and in his conversations, intimates in very distinct terms, that he has got the better of the French

I,,,nri,' Government in his negotiation. Unfortu nately, his letters and these rumors reach

France before the treaty i3 laid on the title for discussion in the French Chambers, nnd very naturally the appropriation is rejected. *But to the debates, which we rccornmcnd to the serious attention of our readers, when we shall at a future day rtsujne the subject. Let us, however, be distinctly understood. We have reason to believe, from facts in our possession, that a war wilh France is meditated by the President, and that the fulfillment of thetieaty is not the sole object in view. We are not without hopes thai the French Chambers will make the appropriation and carry the treaty into effect, for the honor of the nation but we state distinctly, that the French people, id the present condition of their affairs, their surplus population, an uneasy, excitable community a large unemployed army—a powerful navy —at peace with the whole world—and little commerce on the occan—are not as averse to war with us or any other power, as we may be induced to believe but should it be declared, and we are driven to an appeal to arms, this press and those who support it, will (Am, as they do now, stand by the country, its constitution and hies an«l we may venture to say that the great Whig party* throughout the Union Will not be wanting in its duty but for the present, efforts should be made to avert the evil, -i

A ROARER FROM BUNCOMBE. A man from Buncombe, N. C. (or Ibal quarter,) recently &old a firkin of butter to a^genllem&n in this place, the emptying of which exhibited a curiosity, which the curious may see by calling at our ofikc.— The staves at the mouth of the firkin are about a half inch thick, and are so constructed as to increase in thickness to the bottom, where tfcey attain the thickness of about an inch and a quarter. The bottom, or heading, is made of thick oak, and ascends on the inner side of the firkin about four inches and a half, presenting a ponderous frustum of a cone. One would suppose that here was gain enough to satisfy avarice itself but, to use a vulgarism, when the Buncombe people ugo a catting, they go a catting accordingly our butter vender did not stop here, but filled up the space between the heading and sides of the firkin^with seven stones, of about two pounds each upon an average. If the seller would compute the labor he was at in making this nondescript firkin, he would probably find that, after all, his gains but little more than paid him for his trouble.

FROM WASHINGTON.

Correspondtnce of the Baltimore Patriot.

,Tj,

The vote in the House relative to a road contemplated, or the improvement of a road, from Louisville, Ky. to Nashville, Tennessee will attractive attention of your Western readers. The West, to use a vulgar, but an expressive phrase, has brought its pigs to a fine market. The West overthrewan administration, that of J.Q* Adams, which did wonders for it.— The West with its noble rivers, its broad expanse of territory ils young, but thriving population—with resources immense, but with little means of developing them, now sees an end of all appropriations for the purpose of Internal Improvement. We of the .N orthfefh and Middle States of course, do not care, speaking of individuals only, and confining our views to our fire sides.— We have our appropriations for our rivere that flow directly into the Atlantic, with ports of entry in abundance upon them.— Money in abundance we have for forts, fortresses, navy yards, dry docks, light houses, &c. which puts jobs and profit into the hands of our laboring mem Why should wc complain? We have spirit,enterprize, and capital enough at our own doorff for almost all our own improvements. The West is the sufferer, and we are the gainers. The West made the President, and the West enjoys his kindness. Expenses innumerable he creates—salaries thicken upon salaries—the outgoings of the Treasury are almost twice as much as they were—but the West profits nothing. They pay the tiddler, and the blank, paper and twine men of the North, the Reesides, and Isaac Hills, the Albany Regency, witft a score of Safety Fund Banks—the host of Custom llodse Officers—they do the dancing. Why, the West by the administration of Andrew Jackson has b6en thrown a century backward in its career of advancement. It has but little or nothing, and it must hope for less now. Aye, the Albany Regency is presuming further upon it. It purchases its banks* It sends them its printers, and dictates its politics: And now to consummate the impudence of its acts, it actually purposes to saddle upon the West, one of its own creatures, him of Kir.derhook! Well, if the West, the young and vigorous West, the embryo-Go-liah of this vast confederacy, will take this burthen, and be their beast, why should

$3|||f| WsttiiiiaTOM, Dsc. 11,1834. Senate has been engaged quite all

of this day'ts session in forming its Committees, which do not materially differ from what they were the last session. There, is nothing important to remark upon them, that I notice at present.

For.six ygQiiifl pobeen false to the people, interest at least, if compliant

with their prejudices—and now lam glad to learn that there is a prospect ihat some few of them will open their eyes. I.inn, I see, the newly elected Senator from Missouri, comes out in favor of Internal Improvement, but, mark ye, reader, it is only the'lnlernal Improvement of his own State —the Cumberland Road, that shall stretch through Missouri. How long think ye, appropriations will come for this, while the present feeling prevails? And, if there be a doubt as to the answer, I have only to add, look at the vote last session, the re luctance with which it was granted and judge how long Kentucky will support a system that is likely to cost her something and profit her nothing. How long will the South continue to vote blessings to. the West, when the West supports men to office, who are doing their best to cripple the New Stales. Let Indiana answer, now lhat she feels the veto on the Wabash ap proprialion. Let the whole West reflect when they see thus suddenly silenced the resolution of inquiry in the House, which has called forth these remarks.

WA8Hin»TO», DEC. 16, 1834.

The speech of Gen. Tipton, which you will have in the Intelligencer in the morn ing, I presume, will be worth your attention. It confirms what I wrote you, at the opening of the Session, that he would break loose from an administration which had broken loose from his Stale—and, if we had not strength enough in the Senate without them, he and his colleague, Mr. Hendricks, would save it for us. I arn rejoiced to see Gen. Tipton taking suchde Cidcd grounds. The Globe will soon open its batteries upon him, but as be said, the Globe must establish a character for vera city fc^fore it can injure him where he is known. The Globe is a treasure to the Whig party. We ought to give it a premium. Its ferocious violence, and foulmouthed abuse have driven many a Jack sonman into our ranks. Such a man as Gen. Tipton, who has manifested his devotion to what he considered his duty not only in the councils of his country, but in the battlefield, is an acquisition to any party and the more the Globe gibuses him, the better service it will do us. His remarks and what Mr. Webster said after he sat down, I recommend to the attention of your readers. Indeed, what an ab.aurd idea that of the President's is, which proposes to make appropriations for the improvement of rivers Constitutional, where there are Ports of Entry, and Unconstitutional, where there are none, as if Congress could thus at its pleasure make an unmake the Constitution by eslablh&ing Ports of Entry.

The Globe is again at Mr. Mangum pressing him to {esign. The Kitchen Cabinet is more than ordinarily voracious for power id thus grasping at the Senate. Who does not see that the simultaneous movements in Pennsylvania and N. Carolina pring from Washington just as the

Editorial article in the Globe, and the Washington Correspondence of the Albany Argus, calutninatiog Mr. Clay and Mr. Webster, spring from the same heads?— The Kitchen Cabinet order all this. The Kitchen Cabinet have pressed upon Virginia the postponement of the election of Senator, but the Virginia Tan Buren men write word back, that

Virginia will

not stomach this." All springs from Washington, all spring from the central power here* All is the essence of lhat consolidation which in its fearful maelstrom is ingulphing all the States, and making this xiot a Federal Government, but a simple government of one man, one central

ower, and that power here. Will Mr. yield to such a principle? Will he thus beUe his Stele Rights Principles? Will he abandon his State to the Kitchen Cabinet, which now Has temporary control? No, no, I know he will not. The Kitchen Cabinet may, therefore, hang up their harps upon the willows. The Senale is not theirs yet. Their day of revelry is not come. A body yet watches them, that can detect and expose all their misdeeds, even if it cannot correct them. I

The Committee on Finance that exam-1 ined the condition of the pet Banks, and of Bank, during the past summer, understand, make a Report the preseff^eet. The committees on the Post Office are yet hard at work: but it is not known when they will be prepared to make their Reports, certainly not for some time to come. The Committee on Foreign Relations in ihe House, which is now the most important Committee in that body, have received from the President the correspondence of Mr. Livingston with the French Ministry but it was communicated with an injunction of secresy, so that we know nothing of its contents.

The House has been engaged in a debate all day, upon the Naval Bill, in which much speaking has been made. It is probable that the Bill will pass without any very serious amendments* 5 -1

THE PBESIDENCY. fe,',

The correspondent of the Portland Ad^rtisef has, iu a recent letter written at Washington,the following paragraph. What expeotat(j6p*^d}t to be raised, or what hopes built, en t^#flnrsertion, we are not prepared to say. Judge White, however, appears to ba, popular in the west. "A storm Is bfttttrihginMr. Van Buren's ranks. Al this moment he undoubtedly supposes himself nearer the goal of his ambition than ever he was before. But it cannot be disguised that Mr. Van B. is uhpopular with his,.-(party-out of the pale of his Regency* 'JEfce trulh is, his manners

style, show, pomp, and parade, and in imitation of what he has seen at the Court of St. James* His splendid carriage,superb horseB, foreign servants clad in livery, all do not go down well with the republicans here. The movement lhat is made for Judge While—his opposite in all these ret spects—a plain, of simple habits—is, therefore,a sincere movement—and he has many friends that speak loud, and more that speak low.

If Tennessee should detach itself from Van Buren, and the Legislature of that State nominate White for the Presidenccy, who, by the way, I amJold, is as popular as Jackson himself in Tennesse—then V*n Buren's case is a ggpe case. Nothing can save him, if ther^fis division in his own ranks. He has always been a heavy burthen upon the shoulders of Jackson and when put upon his own legs,on his own bottom, 1 am sure, he will stumble as he goes.

THE FRENCH QUESTION.

A respectable contemporary, having stated that Loui& Phiilipe, the King of France, has in vested a large sum in Pennsylvania stocks, adds-7-"In case of a rup-^ ture with France, his majesty will probably Jose the monies thus invested, as the bund of war will doubtless regard it as lawful spoil." This, we apprehend, is a mistake". The confiscation of foreign property in our funds would not beheld law ful, even in time of war. Modern conventional law, modern usage, and sound poli cy,condemn it utterly. In the Bs*ays of Camillus, to which we referred in our last this point is treated in detail and conclusively, by general reasoning and with the citation of authorities. The hand of war is to be withheld from private debts?and private properly in public funds. Our government cannot entertain any other doc trine. General Hamilton adverts to the case of the sequestalion of the Silesia loan by King Frederick of Prussia, as the only example before the war of the French Revolution which he had been able to trace ^violating the immunity of private debts, or private property in public funds." and he argues that "it^could have little weight not only from its singularity, but from the unscrupulous character of its au thor." By the way, this sequestrntion of British property by Frederick as reprisals for the Capture and condemnation of Prussian vessels by the British, is curious in some of its analogies. The case is to be found in full, as it was discussed between the two powers, at the end of Magens' Essay on insurance, which is in every lawyer's library. England protested and remonstrated, and ber memorial on the subject was called by Montesquieu reponse sans repltque but the affair ended with ber paying the damages which the Prussian subjects bad suffered. A treaty of indemnity, in German and English, was concluded and executed*—A"at, Gaz.

Every respectable man in Arnerica agrees with me—Doctors, 1 .awyers,Presidenl8 of Colleges and nine tenths tf the Clergy, but don't eat lobster. The physical condition of man is much degenerated. Adam and Eve eat no meat, but you are a race of gluttons—a tribe ol meat eaters. You must hear me lecture all winter. I'll tell you what a man told me In Brunswick: says he, (my back was toward him,) I agree precisely with Mr. Rushlight* Adam and Eve understood "The Science of Human Life." 1 expect to go to Boston immediately. There is a great need of it. They"eat too much Turkey in Boston* -1 should like to stay here can give you thirty lectures, kut 1 assure you no man cau eat veal and Uye out half his days. I never eat Goose. A man in Portland told me, I was the greatest man in America. I told him to stop eating butter•. Ladies and Gentleman, lard is a slow poison. A lady of my acquaintance complained of being very sleepy—I told her to let beef alone. I will stay here all winter if you wish me to, but don't)} entreat you, my hearers, don't eat pork. I am writing a book in that I shall tell you all about it but pork lubricates too copiously the mucous membranes and acts ignipotently on the ingesta, and on the elaborating tubes of the caleineous machinecism.

A celebrated doctor in Boston agrees with me exactly. Animal food of all kinds is injurious, and I will tell you why—I have ascertained by actual experiment—by actual experiment, please to notice —that the filiments of all muscular substance, when brought in contact with the minute mouths of the reproductive lacteals cause an instaneous and unnatural titilation in these delicate emunctories and induce them to to er-er-er to teplinticatc. This is the proof

You may not understand it now, but attend thirty of my lectures oa my science arftt you will compehend the whole matter. La» dies and Gentlemen,mince pyc is an abomination.

A well-educsted woman is often uncommonly well quallified to observe and paiht characters from real life. Removed) as she generally is, from any strong personal concern in those intrigues aud contentions which take place in this country betwixt persons of the other sex, yet feeling a sufficient degree of sympathy to excite her curiosity, and, perhaps, influenced bj this principle the more strongly, because the emotions which she thU3 observe? are somewhat stranger to her sex, though well enough understood to produce a lively interest—confided in, probably, without reserve, by the parties, whose pursuits are immediately at stake, because they know that she is merely in the condition of a spectator, who wishes to have the latent springs of action disclosed to her, possessing great leisure for observation, arid being endowed, from those very habits which often prevent her from taking comprehensive surveys, with a minute correctness of views, and an exact sense of propriety, which enable her to appreciate, and to sketch, with great felicity of language, the distinguishing peculiarities and minuter shades of character she seems admirably qualified to hold tl)e mirror to her friends of the other sex, that they may see the reflection of their follies and absurdities, as presented to them, with lively ridicule, by an accurate, yet not unindulgent observer. The character of her own sex is a dazzling enigma, which nope but a woman can explain and the^Md has been, therefore, peculiarly indited to those distinguished female?, who, with pardonable violation of secrecy, have given sketches of their sex with a minute fidelity of which they alone were capable. ll is needless to particularise the numerous collection of female writers who have contributed in this manner to public amusement and instruction. But there is one yet alive, who, with a strength of intellect that is masculine, has displayed every one of the excellencies peculiar to her sex— who, wilh a severe regard to moral fitness and utility, which, however, never makes her narrative tedious, or impairs Ihe liveliness of ber portraits and descriptions,has been at once the unsparing, though goodnatured asd entertaining, satirist of the vices and lollies of the higher clasles, and has conveyed, in the most engaging form, lessons of great usefulness and never-ceas ing interest to persons of all (be different classes and ages It would bo endless, however, to enumetate all Ihe writers who have, in this way, united amusements with utility, and who, by the generally moral tendency of tbeif writings, have gone far to prove, that those writers who ar« purest in their aims open up, by that very plan of writing, the most varied and entertaining view of human nature for, experience often teaches us that the most agreeable views of bumao life are the most natural, and consequently afford the greatest source of variety in delineation.

This amount advanced agreeably ta the provisions of the "act supplemental to an a6t to provide for the erection ef a State_House," passed Feb, 3d, 1833, may be ekpected"to be re-imburs-ed from the Indianapolis Fund, so soon as the period for which the debts were suspended, shall have expired, and if, with that view, embraced in the estimate ef the available meaos of tha a a

It will be seen that the disbursements oa ae« count of the State Prison, exceed the estimates of the last report of the Treasurer, rising $2,* 000. ,',*•» i"r ft'"-

Tbe discrepancy bas arisen from the improve* ments authorised by law under the Commissioner appointed for that purpcie. The latitude and discretion given in the extent of the improvements authorised to be made, together with the absence of any estimates or other data in this office,b£ which the amount of expenditure could be an-" ticipated, did not, at that period, nor can at this time afford any criterion npon which the Legist latere may be apprised of the probable amountr which may be required of the Treqsurv for tb{it' service.

The practical'operation of tbe law which qp*\ propriaies the delinquent bnd tax for tbe purpo« ses of a common school fund, bas shown that theu act is greatly defective. In 1832, not more thaa^ about one third of tbe counties made returns,and in 1833 a *tiil greater neglect. The returns which have been made are many of tbem to very imperfect, as te fail entirely to meet the object of the law. Enough bas beeq ascertained however, to prove that tbe annual accumulation of this. fund, would in a few years, under proper regala- •.« tion sad msnagemenl. produce a fund cheering to th? friends of education, and creditable to tbe enlightened legislation wbioh prompted the enactment of tbe law.
