Indeed the brute has much the advantage, as it lives according toils nature and destination, while the man is haunted with a perpetual consciousness of the shameful degi adation ol his mofal and intellectual faculties. 1 he following maxims or rules of actions might if stiictly observed, go far to increase the happiness, or at least to diminish the inquietudes and miseries o! life. Live constancy in the unshaken belief of the overruling Providence of an infillitelv wise and good, as well as Almighty Being ; and prize his favor above all things.
Observe inviolably truth in your words, and integrity in your actions. Accustom yourself to temperance, and be master of your passions. He not too much out of humor with the world i but remember, 'tis a world of G d's creating, ami however sadly it is marred by wickedness and folly, yet you have found in it more comforts than calamities, more civilities than affronts ; moie instances of kindness towards you than of ct uelty. Try to spend your time usefully both to yourself and others Never make an enemy or lose a friend unnecessarily. Cultivate such an habitual cheerfulness of mind, and evenness of temper, as not to be ruffled by tiivial inconveniences and crosses. He ready to heal breaches in friendship and to make up differences ; and shun litigation yourself, as much as possible ; for lie is an ill calculator who does not perceive that one amicable settlement is better than two lawsuits. Be it rather your ambition to acquit yourself well ii your proper station, than to rise above it. Despise not small honest gains, nor risk what you have on the delusive prospect of sudden riches. If you ave in a comfortable thriving way keep in it, and abide in your own calling rather than run the chance of another.

Spain. The naval establishment, small committed himself as to the evacuation

money which has been pretty liberally appropriated, but not received into the treasury. The arrears of pay to the naval officers, artizans and day laborers, arc said to amount to g 1,250,000. Some

that the distresses, in extent and degree

Jcrizza. After this he fell upon thirty Greek villages, and carried away the women and children as slaves. The Greek population of the Isle of
Scio were conveyed successively to Con
stantinople, ami sold like vile herds ;
the most considerable persons and women of the first families, were treated like
the others. There were accounts at
Constantinople of an unfortunate naval

Those of the people of Scio that had
not been seat olV as slaves, were retained
for deliberate butchery. The streets of the town were fihed with their festering remains I Thousands of Greeks are exposed in the slave market at Constantinople, espe cialiy women and girls. Some of these kill each other to rescue themselves from the Turks some refuse food, and are lashed with whips some are purchased for the express purpose of being murdered, for which according to the Koran, Hhe failidul " will be eternally rewarded.

It is stated that the English took an active part in the reduction of Scio and it is also intimated that they expect to obiain the occupation of this island to facilitate their trade in the Levant ! It is hardly possible that these things can be true. , A London paper, speaking of the 10,000 females that were diagged from Scio and sold as slaves, says," what a howl would have been set up if so many hundred negroes had been disposed of in the

that it should be carried on by other powers ol the wst." 00 fhc course of conduct that Russia will pursue, in respect to Turkey, is still uncertain. It is strongly reported that ttie l urks had agreed to evacuate Moldavia and VVallachia as demanded by Russia, but later accounts tell us that they still occupied them. The British minister at Constantinople has exerted himself to the utmost to prefcrve peace and give up the Greeks to the mercy of the Turks. The Rusian army remains
in statu quo but it is said that vessels were cleat ing out at Odessa for Constantinople. The belief was very firm in London that there would not be. any war, and the king of France, in reply to an address from the chamber of peers, on the 10th of June, says " Since the open
