From the Washington Globe of Saturday. In two different letters, written evidently for publication, Mr. Branch has covertly and insidious-lu made injurious intimations, intended to reach the character of an unnamed individual whom he ven tures not to assail openly.

These insinuations are made to have a particular bearing, and are used by the humble instruments who act in concert with him, to produce political results from assaults on private character. Mr. Branch cautiously shrouds himself under inuendoes, and leaves to surmise the facts which he says ought to be laid before the public. Why does he not act like a man? He has been called upon to come out openly to specify and on the principles of justice and honor, to assume the responsibility ot showing that which he says ought to be known, but which he has hitherto ventured to disseminate through vagus insinua tions alone. Could an honourable man reconcile it to his feelings, thus to stab in the dark! In bis pub lished letter he rests his conduct upon a point of 1 I.

Is he not bound then to avow his meaning to assert boldly his charges, and submit them to that public which he has sought covertly to infect with his 44 malign influences?" We are authorised by the individual who is sup posed to bo aimed at by those nintea slanders, to make this second call. Ho shrinks not from the or deal with which he seems to be threatened. He is ready to mnke the issue with a man who cons! ders the public interested in the matter of his covert allusions, and whose standing in the country sub jects him to the proper responsibilities.

The late hour at which the foreign papers' reached us yesterday, prevented as close an examination of their contents and as extensive an abridgment of their intelligence, as we could have desired. The deficiency is now supplied.

Beported Defeat of the Poles. In a "Second Edition" of the London Standard of the evening of May 6, we find the followine im portant, but melancholy account of the state of the campaign in Poland. The editor of the Standard says this account was received through a private commercial cnanuei, ana tne aauionty may relies upon. 44 General Diebitsch, after having defeated the Poles at Biala, marched directly upon Warsaw, which town is, since the of last month, declared in a state of siege: the inhabitants are willing to surrender in consequence of an epidemic which is raging in and about the town. The Pules lost nearly 10,000 men; and at the head quarters the general belief is that the war is at an end, as another army is coming from Russia into Podolia." This is the latest news from London.

It may be true, although we do not place much confidence in it. Of one thing, however, there can be no doubt. The acounls of recent Polish successes; of the trreat battle, -and defeat of the Russians on the 15th of April, within forty miles ol Metncl; of the occupation of Kiedloc by the Poles, and the retreat of Marshal Diebitsch across the Bug; are all gross fictions. The whole ton or of the intelligence received yester snowed them to bo suchv Some extracts from a Isttcr by the Right Rev. Dr.

Machell, a Roman Catholic Bishop, to Earl Grey, in behalf of the suffering poor of the west of Ireland, are contained in the London papers of the 6th May. They give a frightful picture of tho ravage of -famine. Election in Edinburgh, The Scotamnn of May 4, gives a long account of the proceedings in the Council and the consequent riots without on the election of member of Parliament for the city of Edinburgh. It appears that Mr. Dundas, the anti-re form candidate, received 17 votes, and the Lord Advocate 14; This so exasperated the people that it was with difficulty the Lord Provost and the members of the Council were enabled to reach their domicils.

Several troops of the military were called out, the constabulary strengthened, end the riot act read, and it was not until near morning that the mobs were dispersed, after having ceinmitted some excesses upon the property of the obnoxious members. The Lard Provost, in crossing the North Bridge, was in imminent danger of being thrown over, and sustained some personal Injury from rough handling. The King of Sardinia died at Turin, on the 27th of April, at three quarters past two o'clock. At two he required the prayers for persons in their last agonies to be said for him. He then dictated the inscription to be placed on his tomb, and gave his last and dying counsels to the Prince de Carignan, his successor.

The troops at Turin took on the same day the oath of allegiance to the new monarch, who immediately took the reins of government. Melancholy Situation of Poland. Tho new Breslaw Gazette contains the following deplorable account of the state of the Poles, so late as the 21st of April. We find it in the London Standard of the Evening of May 6, under the date of Augsburgh, April 28: "Travellers from Poland, who have lately coma from Lublin by way of Warsaw, cannot find words describe the lamentable condition of that unhappy country. The country beyond the Yistula, which, for the last ten weeks, has been the theatre of the continual marches and counter-marches of the hostile armies, is dreadfully devastated the habitations near the roads partly demolished the inhabitants fled into ihe forests the cattle and sheep consumed the little corn used to feed the horses und cattle for the use of the troops.

The appearance of Warsaw is equally deplorable. 'I hough it was rejoiced for a few days at the heroic exploits of its troops, yet the majority of the citizens look with apprehension on the unequal conflict, and fear more distressing times, as news has been received from all quarters that Count Diebitsch recommences his official operations, and having received fresh reinforcements, is approaching Warsaw. The streets of the city are put in a state to make a most desperate resistance. The inhabitants go about gloomy and reserved, or shut themselves up in their houses, for the slightest doubt in the truth of the reports in the newspapers is sufficient to make the most respectable citizen to be looked on as a spy, and put his life in danger. No equipages are to be seen in the streets, that used to be so animated; at the most a wagon with military effects or wounded.

Sicknesses increase, and some fears of cholera have been entertained. Trade and manufactures are quite suspended; foreigners engaged in manufactories endeavor clandestinely to leave the country, because they are dragged away to serve in the army. The left bank of the Vistula does not present so melancholy a prospect; but even there scarcely a third of the fields has been sown, in consequence of the fail uro of the crops last year, and the scarcity of good seed corn. When the revolution broke out, corn of all kinds was seized and conveyed to the army; magazines were secretly sold at low prices, because money was more easily concealed than corn. But now that the sowing time in spring has come, there is no seed corn, to which we add our want of horses and oxen, which have been taken away from the poor, citizens.

Provisions already begin to be scarce, and unless timely precautions ere taken, a famine may be expected in Poland in a few months. A letter from Bialystok of the 6th April says not a word of any disturbances in that neighbourhood. The Grand Duke Constantine and the Prineess of Lowiez had been there even since the end of February; such large bodies of troops from the interior of Russia were passing that way, that all the villages were crowded, and it was necessary to lodge part of the troops in barracks." Egypt. Private letters from Alexandria in Egypt state that Meheinet Ali continues to carry on with his accustomed firmness and activity his plan of regenerating the interior of his government, and the execution of his prospects of ambition and aggrandizement. Not content with inducing the Porte to grant him the addition of the Island of Crete, he now turns his eyes to Syria.

If the reports which are openly and widely spread are to be believed, an Egyptian array will shortly march into that country under pretence of putting an end to the continual rebellions of which it is the theatre. From thence the Pacha will move on to Bagdad, in order to avenge the death of the Sultan's Envoy. As an indemnity for the expenses of these expeditions, the Divan will consent to grant him the government of the whole of Syria. May we not, with other well informed persons, believe that the Porte, by thus largely extending the dominion of the Viceroy, is desirous of weakening his real power? Time alone can solve the question." From Le Temps of Tuesday, May 3.1 The general topic of conversation at the King's Levee on Saturday was therecal of General Guillo-minoU It was stated in the salons of the Palais Royal, on this occasion, that General Guilleminot, imagining that the affairs of Poland and Turkey, with the tacit consent of England and Austria, would afford the means of neutralizing the evil designs of Russia against France, he addressed a note to the Divan on this subject, and in terms of rather an inflammatory Persons whom the Minister of Foreign Affairs has not as yet accused of reading his correspondence asserted that in this note the independence of Poland was represented as the natural guarantee for the tranquillity of Europe, and the very existence of the Ottoman empire. This note has been the cause of the recal of M.

de Guilleminot. It if, however, positively stated that the Minister had known for some time, from M. da Guilleminot himself, of the circumstance of this note having been written, and that, before such particular notice was taken of it, a complaint had been made by the Ambassador of one of the Great Powers, to whom it was promised that General Guilleminot should be instantly recalled. Latest from Europe. One of the Editors of the Journal of Commerae left New Bedford yesterday morninor at half past 7 o'clock, at which time the ship Emerald, Captain A.

H. Howland, was coming into port, consigned to Joseph Riddell, of that town. She left Amsterdam on the 9th of May. Captain Howland had papers to the 6th inclusive, but gave them to the brig Belgic, of and for Antwerp, 106 days from Balavia, which he spoke in long. 29.

The news from Poland continued favourable to its brave defenders; though up to the latest dates, no decisive battle had been fought. Accounts had been received of extensive ravages by the cholera morbus among the Russian troops, in consequence of which, a protracted quarantine had been established in the ports of Holland, upon all vessels coming from Russia, of whatever nation. It was presumed that no vessel would find It an object to go from Russia to Holland, so long as this quarantine continues. The Poles were represented to be rallying all their energies; auxiliaries were coming in from every quarter. There had been no fighting between the Belgians and Dutch.

The King of Holland appeared to be renerally popular among his subjects. When the 1'merald arrived at Amsterdam, the whole town was set off with a display of flags, in compliment to his majesty. The Prince of Orabge was several times there during her stay in The Emerald carried out 8950 brla. of oil, which sold, but Ihe prices are not made public. AH the ships which arrived for sometime previous bad warehoused their oil, on account of the dullness of the market.

With such a unanimity of opinion, no other course of duty remained for us but to bring this'subject before the court. The fact of this previous consultation is mentioned with no weaK expectation that it will influence the decision of this court. We know too well the character of this tribunal, to entertain any such vain and idlo expectation.

Even after all this precaution; all this previous deliberation and consultation, we approach the subject with great anxiety; for we peror ive, and it would be a vain attempt to disguise it, the delicate and painful situation in which the motion cannot iuu to piace this honorable court." We find the following article in the London Atlas of the 1st ult. TVie History of England. By SirJamet Mackintosh vol. 2.

Dr. Lardncr't Encyclopaedia. London, 1831. In this volume Sir James Mackintosh fully de- vel opes those great powers, for the possession of which the public have long given him credit, al though no distinguished man ot tne age nas maue less of his opportunities. His first volume was too condensed; it hardly afforded breadth to the philosophy that embellished the subject in his hands.

Here he has enlarged his plan, and the result is the ablest commentary that has yet appeared in our language upon some of the most important circum stances in linglish history. Hie time einoraceu in this volume ia from the wars of the Hoses to the reign of Queen Mary. Within this era, or rather series oi eras, some oi mose events iook piuuv mo cast their influence even upon the present day. I he rise of Luther the Btrutrirle of the reformed reli- eion the suppression of monasteries the preach ing of Knox the reverses to which the infant consti tution was subjected tnrougn mose oisastrou kcueh open a rich field to the genius of the historian. We especially recommend to attention the chapter on the Reformation, and can naraiy sumcieiiiiy u-mire the admirable delineation of the reign and character of Henry who was cast in an age that was more peculiarly adapted than any other to throw out the oddlv assorted qualities by which he was distinguished.

This brings us to a singular and un expected analogy that struck us forcibly on perusal of this part of Sir James's book. The records of history, perhaps, can scarcely furnish a parallel so curiously exact as that which exists between the portraits of Henry VIII. and Georgo IV. If the resemblance extended only to habits and dispositions, or to those acta and that svstem of conduct which necessarily or usually arise out of similar habits or dispositions of mind or body, still the coincidence would be remarkable. Hut in this instance it becomes much more so, by the addition of what may, perhaps, be regarded as acci dental likenesses.

We are far from desiring to wound the memory of George IV. by instituting an offensive comparison with the worst vices of Henry. They lived in different ages, the ono coming aftor the other at a period when the world had under gone extraordinary revolutions, when the indulgence ot royal humours was much restricted, and wnun tne people had arrived at such a sense of their own rights, and had, indeed, obtained possession of such a moiety of them, as to preclude the possibility of the kingly violation of the open decencies of life, and the ordinances of public opinion. Ia so far, therefore, as the ages were different, these kings were different. But in many of the circumstances of their reign, and in all the particulars of their indi vidual characters, there existed a coniormny, tne more surprising when we remember in what a period of licentiousness, self-will, and rank despotism, tne genius of the eighth Henry was matured.

In his youth Henry is described by a foreign minister then at his court, as 44 exceeding fair, and as well proportioned in every part as possible. He is an excellent musician and composer; an admirable horseman and wrestler; and possesses a good knowledge of modern languages. He is a prince of a royal carriage, and rather than he will miss or want any part of his will or appetite, he will put one half of his reign in danger." A passion for dress, and splendour of all kinds, was a remarkable element in his character. For a joust, or a tournament, or a field of cloth of gold, he would have sacrificed the highest interests of the kingdom. Does not this parallel run without a single exception? From his followers he exacted the most unbounded devotion, but was himself incapable of a lasting friendship.

Sir Thomas Moore died on the scaffold. How did Sheridan die? If he treated his ministers or his friends with apparent familiarity, or kindness, it was merely as the instruments of ids amusements, his pleasures, or his policy. It is now believed that George IV. (all allowance being made for the spirit of the times,) was likewise a gilder of the surface of courtesies. These two monarchs also passed through similar ordeals of feeling, if we may so uso the expression, in their relations with women.

The story of Anne of Cleves is, in part, that of the early scenes between George IV. and Caroline -that of Lady Catherine Howard also, in part, fills up the latter. They both married women they had not previously seen; they both charged upon their consorts offences, which, whether true or not, failed of proof. We should, perhaps, close the parallel here, but can hardly omit its final coincidence. By the unrestrained indulgence of the table, Henry fell into the most offensivecorpulence.

44 His body had becomeso unwieldy, that he could not be moved without machines contrived for the purpose. An oppression on his breathing rendered it difficult for him to relieve himself by a recumbent posture. The signature of hi name became too heavy a task for his feeble and overloaded hands. Stamps with his initials tverc affixed in his presence, and by hi verbal command, to all the instruments which required the royal signature. He became offensive to his humblest attendants by an ulcer in one of his swollen limbs, which often subjected him to the extremity of pain.

This completes the resemblance; but for the minute points, and its regular progression to a whole likeness, we refer to the history itself. The Baltimore Patriot has loarnt 44 from a high sffurce at Washington," that Judge White has 44 very reluctantly" consented to take charge of the War Department, until other arrangements can be made. The same paper says: 44 We also learn from the same source, that it is understood that Major Lewis, the. 3d Auditor, and Amos Kendall, the 4th, are actually to go out of office, and that P. G.

Randolph, the chief Clerk in the War Office, and brother-in-law to Major Eaton, is named as Lewis's successor. Kendall's successor is not yet known." We esteem the Jtllas of Ancient Geography by the Rev. D. Butler, as, generally, the most useful, accurate and convenient work of the kind, for youth, which has appeared. It has been stereotyped and reprinted in a neat and cheap form, by Tessrs.

Carey Lea. The Annual Retrospect of Public Affairs, fur 1831, in two small volumes, forming part of Dr. Lardner's Cabinet Library, may be recommended as a good, instructive performance, by which the memory can be refreshed or supplied advantageously and agreeably, in relation to the recent political history and opinions of Europe. The Boston edition is handsome and com mod ious. Harrison Hall's octavo edition, one volume, of Ord's most interesting Life of Alexander Wilson, the ornithologist, deserves to be general known and circulated.

1 11 1 1 -v .,1 1 from Shuvo Etan, uaiea i.i Sro E.ml-7 TT laiidir "6 At the lato New-York Nationul Republican Convention, the lion. Ambrose Spencer delivered a speech, which is very highly extolled. Phrases concerning the violence of President "Jackson's spirit, are ascribed to Mr. Spencer, which he could hardly have uttered even in the utmost fervor of declamation. But it is, certainly, the opinion of persons who have been close observers, with thebestopportunities, that in almost every official act, the President has been determined by personal predilections or antipathies, when they could be operative.

In this way he has of course often made bad ap pointments, and being subject to tms lnllucnce, he can never be a safe dispenser of patronage. The lstult. was the anniversary of the birth of Louis Philippe, King of the French. He received the compliments of the diplomatic corps in a body, and replied thus to the Pope's Legate, who addressed him in their name: I receive, with a lively satisfaction, the sentiments of your regard for myself and family, in the 1' I I. L.

I. name oi me aipiomauc corps, oi wmcn ou nre me organ. I am persuaded as well as you, ef the grand truth, that peace is the foundation of public pros perity, and the solid basis of the true happiness of nations. Mince my coming- to the throne I nare neglected nothing to maintain it; and the assurance which you express to me, in tne name oi tue oove-reisrns you represent, is a new pledge of the conti nuation of that friendship and good understanding winch subsists between us, and win always endeavor to preserve it, for the interest of Prance and that ot fciurope." The Washington Telegraph, of Monday, says We know that the mission to Russia was offered to and refused by Mr. Ingham." Per haps, Mr.

I. replied to the President, 44 Un derstanding you now, sir, At a large and respectable meeting of the democratic citizens, held at the Court House, on Thursday, 7th June, George M. Dallas, Esq. was called to the chair; VVm. J.

Leiper and John V. Ashmcad, were appointed Secretaries. Upon motion it was resolved, That it is expedient to celebrate the approaching Anniversary of our national independence by a public democratic Jackson Festival, and that two oitiseas from each ward of the City of Philadelphia be now appointed a committee ot superintendence to make tne necessary arrangements for that purpose. Resolved, that the proceedings be published in the democratic papers. GEORGE M.

DALLAS, Chairman. I. W. Ashmead and iVm. J.

Leiper, Secretaries. Two gentlemen proposed, unsuccessfully, at the meeting, to omit the word Jackson, in the phrase 44 public Democratic Jackson festival." We hope that the independent Democrats, who consider the festival as a national one, with reference to principles, and not men, will celebrate it apart, so as to Testore it to its true impersonal and republican character. Richard Peters, Reporter of the Supreme Court of the United States, has published, in an octavo volume of nearly three hundred pages, The Case of the Cherokee Nation against the State of Georgia, as it was introduced, argued, and determined, in that Court, at the last January term. The contents of the volume are the Bill filed en behalf of the Cherokee Nation; the Supplemental Bill; the Arguments of Mr. Sergeant and Mr.

"Wirt; the Opinion of the Court, as delivered by Chief Justice Marshall; tne several opinions oi jvir. Justice Johnson and Mr. Justice Baldwin, and the Dissenting Opinion of Mr. Justice Thompson, concurred in by Mr. Justice Story.

Mr. Peters has given a very useful Appendix of documents, including the treaties, acts of Congress, acts of the legislature of GeoTgia, and a judicial opinion, to which reference has been made in the Cherokee question. We scarcely need add that this is an important book, filled with matter of deep concern for every American citizen, rich in eloquence and logic, and permanent in the comprehensive subjects so ably treated by the bar and the bench. We have read the whole of it with avidity, having been eager to know how this celebrated case, which seemed to involve the fate of injured and helpless nations or communities, and the justice and repute of the American people, had been discussed by eminent jurists of the most august among existing tribunals. When we had come to the end of Mr.

Wirt's noble speech, we thought that our own persuasion, received chiefly from his reasoning and rhetoric, could not be affected even by the authority of the Court, however adverse. It becomes us, perhaps, to yield final assent to the decision of Chief Justice Marshall, concurring with Justices Johnson and Baldwin, but the elaborate, solemn, impressive, and, we believe, sincere arguments of the counsel, being reintegrated and reinforced by the disquisitions and conclusions of such members of the bench as Thompson and Story, we seem warranted to relapse into the state cf mind produced by Mr. Wirt's appeal. The day before yesterday, we inserted and noted the testimony of the Cherokee Chief, liidge, by which it appears that President Jackson wished to persuade him and his fellow-deputies that their lawyers only desired to fleece them, were studiously duping them in order to get their money. We were struck with the extreme harshness and utter want of dignity in such a statement from such a source.

Men like Mr. Wirt and Mr. Sergeant need not be defended against a charge of this nature on an occasion of this magnitude and awfulness; but we cannot refrain from quoting the first paragraph of Mr. Wirt's speech, by which our readers will learn that 44 several of the inosten-lightened and eminent jurists of this country, residing in different and distant parts of the continent," and who, we may presume, had no participation nor expectation in the matter of fees, or could hope for no gain from the prosecution of the case, were consulted, and did ratify the advice and proceeding of the two counsel. We might indicate likewise the nanction of Justices Story and Thompson, for whom there was no pecuniary motive.

Mr. Wirt said 44 The complainants and their counsel are fully aware of the delicacy of this question. They feel all the difficulties and embarrassments, judicial and political, which surround it. They have thou; 1 1 it their duty, therefore, to weigh the measure well, in all its aspects, in advance. They have not come hither rashly and unadvisedly.

The complainants have not been permitted to proceed on the opinion of any single individual of the profession. They have been required to consult, nnd ihoy have accordingly consulted, several of the most enlightened and eminent jurists of this country, residing in different anil distant parts of the continent; and it was not until the perfect concurrence of them all had been ascertained, on all the points involved in this enotion, tliat the resolution was taken to bring it of ore the ert. Theee jurists unite lu the opi Lttttr-Iiagn at the Merchant' Coffee-House.
