otis creditors 'shortly began unanimously to ! exclaim that Thomas wouid indeed be hang cd at last ! Age did not render him any bet ter. He was aiwajs anxious to indulge himself with ortolans or green peas at any price ; when chance or stratagem furnished him with ihe means, he gratified himself with turtle or rich soups : he deemed oysters delicious when any one else paid for them, or, which amounts to the same thing, when a shop-keeper was foolish enough to sell him them on credit. Hence every body was wont to repeat, Tho mas will assuredly be hanged in the end 1 But, alas I what man can dive into the future? Clbber drowned himself. Josefxh Bonafiart. -The Philadelphia Advertiser publishes the following merited tribute to this amiable and unassuming man. His estate occupies a large territory. His houe is in the Fi ench style, but not so splen did. His lands, on which immense sums

have been expended, are well cultivated. In

all public improvements he contributes lib

erally something like 4000 dollars, I am

told, he paid on one road

He is much beloved, and his memory will be ever dear id the villagers. There is

scarcely now, a poor family in the village, so

many does he employ on his lands. He pays

liberally, punctually fulfilling all his con tracts, no law suits ho disputes, and the in

tetiipcrate and immoral are at once discharg-

fcd. He is constantly, in the season of agri

culture, in the field with his men, with a pruning hatchet in his hand Strangers who

are introduced partake liberally of his hospi

tality. He has thus exchanged a Coronet of

thorns for that of a peaceful agriculturalist,

and become a citizen of our happy republic.

in the hour oF psnl hereafter I l)io! the

hattleof Thermopylae preserve Greece but once ? Whilst the Mississippi continues to

bear the tributes of the Iron Mountains and the Allegany, to her Delta, and to the Gulf of

Mexico, the Eighth of Jmuary shall be re

membered, and the GLORY of that day shall stimulate future patriots and nerve the arms

of unborn free men in driving the presumpt

uous invader from our country s soil.

From the Delcibare Patriot. "The follow

ing circular is copied from the Baltimore Republican, the original draft of which, made by Mr. Jefferson, is in the possession of the editor of that paper. It appears to have been

intended by him, for the head of each depart

ment and to be addressed to its subordinate officers. At this particular moment, it comes like a voice from the grave, and must sound in the ears of the present cabinet, as terrible

as the voices of the murdered relatives c

Richard the 3d did to that monster. Every

line of it conveys most severe rebuke to our traveling electioneering cabinet : and coming as it does from Thomas Jefferson, vc should

hope it might be the means of correcting

the address to which it alludes, if indeed any

thing could have that effect upon men, who.

have so openly and shamelessly sinned against

decorum, and the good sense of the people

A copy of it ought to be laid upon every Se cfetary's table, and sent to every other offi cer "holding his appointment under the au thority of the President directly. 'f CIRCULAR."

"The President of the U. S. has seen with

dissatisfaction, officers of the General Gov

Crnment, taking, on various occasions, active

parts in elections of the public functionaries

whether of the General or of the State Governments, Frcedon of election being essential to the mutual independence of governments, and of the different branches of the same povcrnment, so vitally cherished by most of our constitutions, it is deemed improper for officers depending on the Executive of the Uni On, to attempt to control, or influence the free exercises of the elective right. This, I am instructed therefore to notify, to all officers within my department, holding their appointments under the authority of the President directly and to dcsiie them to notify to all subordinate to them. The ricrht of any officer to give his vote at elections as a qualified citzen, is not meant to be restrained, nor, however given, shall it have effect to his prejudice: but it is expected, that he will not attempt to influence the votes of others, nor take any part in the business ofelectionceiing, that being deemed inconsistent with the spirit of the constitution, and his duties to it." Look out. A garbled and spurious life of General Jackson is printing in Frankfort at one of the Ebony presses, and will soon flood the Country in thousands. Let the readers of the Argus and the Jackson committees eery where put there fellow citizens on their

guard against this vile and insidious mcde of

attack. Doubtless every act of his life will he distorted, and where perversion fails, falsehood witl be resorted to. Argus, Jlfr. Clay a opinion of General Jackson's se rvices. In a speech delivered in Con gressby Mr. Clay, at the session of I S 1 6- 1 7' before he began to envy Gen. Jackson, or to view him as a rival, he exclaimed : "Have we gained nothing by the war? Let any man look at the degraded condition

of this country before the War the scorn of

the universe, the contempt of ourselves and tell me if we have gained nothing by the war ? What is our present situation ? Respectability and character abroad, security and confidence at hf tne." u The GLORY acquired by our gtUant tars by our JA KSONS and our B nuns on the land is that nothing ?' Yes, national GLORY, which, however the expiessions maybe condemned hv some must de chf.iusiifd by every ornuinr tatriot. What do I mean by national Glory i Glory, such as Hull of the Constitution, Jackson, Lawrence and Pe rry have acquired. And are gentlemen insensible, to the value or their deeds to the value of them in animating the country

The palm thee, though a beautiful tree, is

sometimes, it appears, a very obstinate one ; and the means which we are told, on Arab authority, should he used to render it more

docile on these occasions would astcnish the

lortlculturists of Europe. When a palm

tree refuses to bear (says the Arab author of a treatise on Agriculture) the owner of it,

armed with a hatchet, comes to visit it in

company with another person. He then

begins by observing aloud to his friend (in order that the date tree should hear him) 14 I

am going to cut down this worthless tree

since it no longer bears me any fruit."

" Have a care what you do, brother," re

turns his companion, " 1 should advise you to do no such thing for I will venture to predict that this very year your tree will be co

vered with fruit." " No, no," replies the

owner, I am determined to cut it down.

for I am certain it will produce me nothing and then approaching the tree, he proceeds

to give it two or three strokes with his hatch

et. " Pray now I 1 entreat vou, desist says

the mediator, holding back the arm of the

proprietor, tl Do but observe what a fine tree it is, and have patience for this one season more ; should it fail after that to bear

you any fruit, you may do with it just what

you please. I he owner of the tree then allows himself to be persuaded, and retires without proceeding to any further extremi. ties. But the threat and the few strokes inflicted with the hatchet, have always, it is said, the desired effect; and the terrified palm tree produces the same year a most abundant supply of the finest dates. Becchy's Travels. A musical spit A musical p'hehomehohj in the shape ot a spit, is in possession of the Tount de Castel Maria, ol Treviso. It plays twemy-foflr tunes while turning one hundred and thirty roasts, and thus directs the time and length of the culinary process, while it contributes to the entertainment of the cook. We have heard of a phvisiciah fvtlin his patient's pulse to a tune, ai d thereby ascertaining the degree of fever, Hit if this, instrument comes into general us, v e niay expect wonderful changes.

farmers, mechanics or manufacturers. 1 he pressure of the times in Europe is becoming more and more, onerous. Ireland especially, is in a state of suffering a sufficiency ol food of the coarsest kind being difficult to obtain. We have plenty, and though we seem to want profitable emploment for our own labor, just now. we cannot fail ol bidding welcome to our frffiicted fellow men. We have room enough lor them. They will generally locate themselves in the middle and western states. We shall probably receive from 25 to 30,000 foreigners in the present year 6000 Swiss are expected and many English will probably come out, as soon as it is known what shall be the operation of our new tat iff law. So far as it will have effect to produce equality in our trade with Great Britam, so fur will it r.dd to the power and wealth of our contiy. X,lts Greece There is no doubt the Independence ol Giecceis resolved upon. To be ef

fected " peacably ll it can, forcibly il it must." It will be at once a rcspcctahlc nation, if the President has the proper qualifications. He rules such circumstances that divisions do

not apply to him and his government may be steady. It is the policy of chiistendcm to uphold him. While the aid of several powers, may pt event any ore power fiom having an undue influence, tiach guatding ayainst this in evety other. He was seni by the Russians, curried by the il.itisb, and has a bodyguard el Frenchmen piobably. Ap p roach of Battle Though no orders had been issued, the army were aware ol the intention of attack. The officers, having re freshed themselves from the fatigues ol their march, stood conversing in groups, sagaciously discussing the projects ol the adverse genctalsj and discriminating between the chalices bf failure, and the. probabilities of success, t remarked, I thought, ihut the Certainty of approachinp battle had wrought some change of fnanher and expression ih my b'rothcr officers. They bore about them the appearance of excitement ; spoke with an unwonted energy of vocal intonation, arid performed the rn st common and perfunctory acts with a vivacious rapidity, for which their general manner was not r cv.ai kable. Thus did the evening pass on, till daihnesshad descended like a curtain, and the camp, save where illuminated by the biasing watch fires ol" l!..e s Idietes, lay hid beneath the dense and cloudy canopy of the star less sky.

The Stolen Child It will be recollected by most of our readers that we re-published j from the Ariel. printed at Nrchcz, Missis-j sippi, in the fall of 1826, an account of a j

child being stolen from its parents, named Clark, living in Arkansas Territory. It was further stated at the time that a letter signed T Tuttw had been received soon after bv
