It is evident that popular damor and newspaper denunciation have destroyed free will among the Peers.

The passage of the Jegro Emancipation bill, without material change, through Parliament, was deemed certain. The statements of the capture of Lisbon, and tho utter defeat of Marshal Bourmont, before Oporto need confirmation. Opinion in London seems to have been nearly unanimous with respect to die speed' and complete success of Don Pedro. Ve may doubt whether Portugal will fare better un. dcr the conquerors, than she has fared with Miguel.

The London editors, although Don Miguel's fleet is represented to have been in a miserable condition before the battle, yet boast exceedingly of the prowess and skill of the British commander Napier and his British coadjutors, to whom tlipy assign the whole credit of the victory. Bell's Weekly Messenger says "Admiral Napier's eap-ture of Don Miguel's fleet was certainly a most gallant achievement, full of daring courage, ami of tbat superior skill and tact which mark the superiority of the British navy, and exhibit our sailors, under all climates, and in all services, as the, foremost men of the Universe." One party in Enr-land must, nevertheless, regard the battle as an "untoward event," the designation which was given to that of Navarino, Nat. Gaz. decisive actum of the 20th ot October, 1 rJl, under the walls of the British fort, Miami, by the gallant hero, Anthony Wayne, that he was among the principal representatives of the Shawano na tion, at the treaty of Greenville, where he was alike distinguished by his oratory; that, unaccustomed to the rigors of a northern climate, he fell a victim to disease, on his return from a visit to 'his Great President Washington; where he had accompanied Little Turtle, Blue Jacket, and several other of the most distinguished ctueis, from the North Western tribes; and had merited, by the dignity of hia deportment and the urbanity of his manners, the respectful attention given to him while living, and the honorable memento which the now dilapidated monument exhibits to have been paid towards his remains. This much would, no doubt, amply satisfy the queries of the enquiring Antiquarian, as exhibiting a brief and correct notice of the 'son of the forest' thus distinguished.

"Our acquaintance with him commenced at the treaty of Greenville, made by Gen. Anthony Wayne, with the confederated tribes of North Western Indians, in August, 1795, where Red Pole was considered as a Chief of much influence. That treaty, being of great importance, was conducted with an uncommon degree of form and ceremony. A handsome council house was erected, expressly for the purpose, and the elegant marquee of the Commander in Chief, pitched, (for the first on that occasion, for the accommodation of the Chiefs. The firing of a six pounder, and the display of a white flag, on the Council house, immediately after guard parade and relief, was the daily signal for assembling of the plenipotentiaries, who generally remained in session about four hours.

The officers of the army, in full uniform, together with numerous warriors accompanying the chiefs, were the usual spectators of this very interesting scene. One or more of the Chiefs, as subjects were proposed, daily delivered speeches, not long, but many of them distinguished by their force of reasoning, and dignified manner of delivery. Among these, the Red Pole held a conspicuous stand. "The encampment of Indians was directly in front of the cantonment, with which a daily intercourse took place by the officers of the army, who, in turn, received and entertained the Chiefs in their quarters during the day. Red Pole, ac companied by Little Turtle, (the Miami Chief, well known as principal leader against the unfortunate army of General St.

Clair,) with whom he generally associated, often visited our quarters, accompanied Captain Weils, the interpreter, (who was inhumanly butchered, at Chicago, at the commencement of the last war with England.) Those visits were always interesting. The Turtle and Red Pole were uncommonly shrewd in their observations, and, frequently, in playful badinage, would elicit flashes of wit that would not disgrace the most polished circles. At the conclusion of the treaty, they retired to the homes of their respective tribes, and arrangements were immediately commenced preparatory to occupying the British posts, on our North Western frontier, the delivery of which had been procrastinated from time to time, by various frivolous pretexts, and no doubt was the true origin of the prolonged Indian wars on our frontier. Gen. Wayne visited the frontier forts in the fall of 1796.

At Fort Maumce, then garrisoned by the company of the 2d sublegion, commanded by the writer of this article, he pitched his marquee within a few yards of the glacis, not pistol shot distance from the S. W. bastion of the fort, on the very spot from which he had viewed the works, then manned by the British Garrison, commanded by Major Campbell, on the 20th of October, 1794. Oil the bastion, at that time, a long 2 1 and three 18 pounders, brass guns, were mounted, together with four wall pieces of 48 pound calibre, in the casemates. Enraged at the hardy daring of the old hero, the British artillery officer was with difficulty restrained from applying the match by the commandant.

The suite of General Wayne, at the moment, was his aid3 de camp, Major Debuts, of the 4th sublegion, Capt. Thomas Lewis, of the 3d, and Lieut. W. II. Harrison, (the present General,) of the 1st; also, Col.

Henry Burbeck, of artillery, and several others, whose names at present arc not recollected. The fact of the intention to fire, we received from two gentlemen, who were in the fort at the time, and to the pitching of the marquee, and recognizing the exact spot by the brave old General, we were eye witnesses. A number of chiefs and warriors visited the General during the three days he remained at Fort Maumce. The Little Turtle and Red Pole arrived the day following his departure from Detroit. Blue Jacket resided on an island, at the foot of the rapids of Miami.

On visiting the fort, the Red Pole, addressing the writer, remarked, my son, we are going to Detroit to sec our father, Gen. Wynd, and then to the rising of the sun to take our great father, Gen. Washington, by the hand. The General has promised us a young chief to show us the path. The Turtle and Blue Jacket both love you, and wc will ask for you if you arc willing to go." The proposal was of course agreeable, as it ottered a prospect of visiting those dear friends, from whose society wc had been excluded by six years' hard duty in camp, and the more particularly, as the contemplated reduction of the army to the peace establishment, cn conducted upon fair and honorable principles, would, as a junior captain, leave us among the number of supernumeraries; and the opportunity of returning home as an escort to our Indian friends, have been a pleasant tour of duty.

We were, however, disappointed in our expectations. The Red Pole added, We arc going to the Island to get drunk wo days; we will then wash our heads and go to Detroit to ask for you. During the debauch, we were severely at-tackedby ague and fever, and very reluctantly abandoned the proposed tour, recommending to our red father" and his associates, our friend Captain Richard Sparks, Cthe late Colonel) who accompanied them to the seat of government; returning from wdicnce, as we have stated, Red Pole died at Pittsburgh, where he was buried with military honors, and the monument erected over his remains. Connected with thf recollection of our Indian "father" is an amusing incident of more recent date, and which may probably dwell in the recollection of some of the ancient citizens of Philadel phia. A number of Chiefs visited Mr.

Jefferson, durinar his Presidency, anions' whom was the Young Wolf (our adopted brother) nephew and successor of Red Pole. Among the amusements provided for them was a visit to the theatre. We were then on a tour of guard duty, with a detachment of artillery from Fort Mifflin. Learning that Indians from the Lakes were in the city, and feeling a curiosity to ascertain whether any of our old acquaintances were of the number, we (visited theatre for that purpose. They were seated on a back seat of the large front box of the oldChesnut street Theatre.

Approaching the box we were recognized by "our brother," with a warm hur, imparting a plentiful quantity of vermilhon to both our cheeks and a hearty yell, in which his associates, about 10 or 12, joined in full chorus. The curtain was up at the time, but the astonished ac tors stopped and gazed -in silence at the scene. Several ladies were much alarmed, and Madam Rumor stated that some did actually faint. The gentleman beaux were in full run to ascertain the cause of the alarm and found us sitting cheek by jowl among the Indians. We spent the evening with our young brother, and the day following en- Frem the Louisville (Ky.) Intelligencer, Aug.

16. At the last Congressional Election, we succeeded in electing but four out of twelve members to Congress; the present election has resulted in the choice often National Republicans out of the thir-teen Representatives to which Kentucky is entitled. Oil these, the country may rely, a9 being the warm and zealous supporters of Domestic Industry, the U. S. Bank, Internal Improvements, and the Public Land Bill.

The defeat of Mr. Crittenden, in the Louisville district, is as much regretted as it was unexpected; but this loss is amply made up by the success of our candidates in every other district but tw-o in the State, and in two or three where the contest was considered unpromising and doubtful. Wc congratulate the members elect on their success; and most sincerely do we congratulate the people of the commonwealth, that they have made choice of so able a delegation to represent them in the next Congress.

Answer: "I feel obliged to speak the truth." Judge: "Do you feel under an obligation to Almighty God, to speak the truth?" Answer: "How can I feel an obligation to one whom I do not know to exist?"

Interesting and Painful News. The editors of the Gazette have before them a letter from a friend, dated E.siTonT, Aug. 19.

It states, "I have seen Capt. Tucker, of schooner Leader, just returned from the Magdalene Islands, who informs us that Mr. Audubon, a week previous to the 22d of June, had been at an adjoining harbor, where he remained two days. "Captain Tucker also informs, that this has been a most disastrous season among the fishermen be longing to Newfoundland, about 300 of them having been lost, with their vessels, (about 35,) in fishing for seal among the floating ice in the spring. It is supposed they were all lost in a violent gale in the spring, which destroyed the vessels among the ice." Baton Rot-ge, July 23, 1833.

The disease which is fatal to stock, and which wc noticed, a short time since, now pervades the country generally. Cattle and hogs sutler most, for the reason, perhaps, that horses being more immediately under the care of man, receive early attention. We are told that those scavengers of the earth, carrion crows and buzzards, will not touch an animal that lias died of the disease. Such animals as die within the farms are usually burnt. Several persons have suffered severely from the poison with which the animals seem to be charged after death.

We hear of an Indian who obtained permission to skin a steer, and died in a few hours afterw ards, from a cat on the finger, made while skinning; the hand first, and then the arm and body swelled considerably, and witli great rapidity, such is the active nature of the poison. The disease is supposed to be caused by the sting of a fly. Louisville Register. The friends of humanity will regret to learn the death of the Hon. William Wilberforce, in the 74th year of his age "a name," says a London paper, with which there is probably associated more of love and veneration than ever fell to the lot of any single individual throughout.

the civilized globe." Death of William Wilberforce, Esq. This melancholy event took place on Sunday night, the 2tflh of July, at the house of Mr. Smith, in Cado-gon Place. It is understood that Mr. ilbcrforce has directed in his will that his funeral should be conducted without the smallest pomp, and that his body should be interred in the family vault of his brother in law, in the church yard of Stoke New-ington.

Mr Wilberforce was in the 71th year of his age. The number of the Edinburgh Review, for last month, contains an article on Mr. Rush's "Residence at the Court of London." We may expect more liberality in the Whig, than we have found in the Tory journal, towards Mr. Rush. The treatment of this gentleman in the London Quarterly is condemned, however, as extremely unjust and ungrateful, in the highest British circles of either party.

Nat. Gaz. Progress of Civilization in Algiers. The influence of the Turks has long been declining in Algiers. But there are few Moorish families not connected in marriage with the public functionaries sent thither from time to time from Constantinople.

Their descendants are denominated Cou-louglis, and have always enjoyed particular privileges. The families connected with them have teen enriched, but the source of wealth, which con sisted of piracies upon the coast of Spain and Italy, has been stopped during many years; and Lord Exmouth put an end to Christian slavery in 1816, while various treaties with Europe decidedly checked the former irregular warfare, and weakened the Turks. In this state of things, we found the Moors ready to receive us as liberators. Our manners and refined habits were more pleasing to them than those of the Turkish soldiery. They have not forgotten Spain and its enchantments.

Their countenances and gestures, and their whole demeanor, are strikingly Spanish. One of them, Sidi Bou Dharba, told me one day, that by his mother's side he was descended from the Moors of Granada. I have often played at whist, or ccarte, with these pretended barbarians, and found myself in enlightened discussion upon the comparative merits of European and Moslem manners. Their dwellings are fitted up with great luxury. At the country house of Sidi Hamedan, whose eldest son was educated at Paris, are to be seen all the resources of a man of taste a library, and a garden laid out in the English style.

Polygamy is almost unknown at Algiers. The women have much more freedom than in other Mohammedan countries. They have the exclusive management of the house, and pay much attention to the education of their children. The Algerines are fond of music, and offered to contribute towards the expense of a theatre. Many of them speak French, Italian, Spanish, and English.

And what seems decisive as to the civilization of the Moors, they possess a great number of schools conducted upon the Lancaster and Bell systems of mutual instruction; and primarj' instruction is more gen- Gross Outrage. We arc informed that Avery Allyn bad made arrangements, last night, for one of his exhibitions, in a house in Liberty street, in this city, and that, just before he was going to commence his lecture, or exhibition, which ever it may be called, the door was broken open, and several persons entered, and committed a violent assault and battery upon the person of Allyn, who happened to be in the lower story, near the door. He was, vvc arc told, considerably injured, though not dangerously. Chesapeake and Ohio Canal. Memorials, of which the following is a copy, arc now in circulation, through the city and county, for the reception of signatures.

CHESAPEAKE AND OHIO CANAL. To the Honorable, the Senate and Ihusc of Re. presentalivcs of the Congress of the United Slates: The Memorial of the undersigned, citizens of Pittsburgh and its vicinity, respectfully represents Tint your Memorialists have watched, with the deepest interest, the commencement and pro gress of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, as a great national cnterprize, originating with the Father of his country, and displaying more clearly, as it advances, the enlightened sagacity and Ml i I iarsightcd patriotism ot its iiiusmous projector. The claims of this noble work to the counten ancc and patronage of the general government have been so often urged, and your honorable bodies already possess, in so many authentic forms, the fullest and most detailed evidence of its prac ticability and advantages, that the undersigned will not venture to repeat the arguments, or to spread anew before you the facts, which carried conviction to the mmds ot your predecessors, ana the force of which time has only served to strength cn and confirm. But they would rcsectfully point to the present auspicious era, as offering a new impulse, and supplying an additional motive, to the further and vigorous interposition of Con gress.

rbe national debt is discharged. That cher ished object of deep and absorbing interest to the whole country, not only in reference to a just feeling of security and independence, hut to the character and practical working of our Republican Institutions has been accomplished. We are rid of the accumulated charges of two costly wars, witnessed by the same generation. We transmit no burden to posterity, to clog its rich inheritance. And, surely, at this moment of complete disengagement from pecuniary solicitude when the great object of inquiry is as to the least mischievous plan for employing a redundant revenue we do not err in asking you to give back to the nation, in the shape of a diffusive blessing, a portion of what has been confided to your disposal.

The objection, urged with success, to solicitations, in reference to improvements of a local, limited range, and usefulness, will not be pretended to be applicable here. There is nothing in this enterprise of a narrow, sectional character; in it mingle freely the sympathies and interests, as do the waters, of the East and the West. Nor will it fail to occur to your honorable bodies, that the question is not an open one, of original investment, but that a arge amount of money, under an appropriation by Congress, bus already passed into the work, and must share its fate. Shall the past expenditure be lost to the country? There is nothing, as the undersigned conceive, in the history of the work which can justify such infirmity of purpose, and rash abandonment of a great public stake. Your Memorialists would respectfully venture to suggest that the character of the principal fund, which now flows into the Treasury 'with embarrassing profusion, may be considered as pointing to the proposed method of application.

It is obvious that the impost at the Custom House ultimately presses with most severity on the consumer, who is furthest removed from the seaboard. The various agents of traffic, intermediate to consumption, take care to remunerate themselves liberally, in the price of the article, for every charge to which it is subjected in its passage through their hands. There would seem, then, to be no more equitable arrangement than that the Tax, which Srows at each stage of transit, and carries its ac-cumulated claim to reimbursement into the remotest cabin of the West, should be employed in alleviating the burden, by bringing the two great sections of our country together, into close commercial contact. The Commonwealth, of which we are citizens, has taken an early, decided, and magnanimous part on this subject. Her own resources and credit deeply pledged in the construction of works to which the one in question might, if viewed with narrow jealousy, be deemed a rival.

She has not yet hesitated to raise her voice, and to exercise her influence in furthering a great national object. Her Statute Book presents the following Resolution: Resolved, by the Senate and House of Representatives of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, in General Assembly met. That the Senators of this State, in the United States' Senate, and the Representatives of this State in Congress, are requested to endeavor to procure the passage of a law authorizing the subscription of a Million of Dollars, on the part of the General Government, to the stock of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Company, to be expended on the Western Section." FREDERICK SMITH, Speaker of the If. of R. WM.

G. HAWKINS, Speaker of the Senate. Approved, 1st of April, 1831. GEORGE WOLF." The undersigned respectfully ask that this appeal may now be listened to, when our financial condition no longer requires that the urgent claims of a just, wise, and comprehensive national spirit, "should be slighted or postponed. And they will, Mio-qua-coo-na-caw.

The communication of "An Antiquarian," which we published in our paper of the 5th of July last, in relation to this chief, of the Shawano nation, has drawn from Col. Mars-chalk, editor of the Mississippi Gazette, a long and interesting article, from which we make some extracts. Col. Marschalk was formerly an officer in the United States' Army; and, as such, was on our northwestern frontier when Red Pole figured there, and was adopted by that chief, as his son, un der the name of Undo Quallameta, or the Indus trious Reaver. The following are extracts: "Simply to state, that the Chieftain of the forest, whose remains lie so honorably entombed in the sacred repository aunronriated to the silent dead of more civilized mu, was among the number of celebrated warriors who lon.T contcnaed me field, and led his nation forth to battle against ev From the New York Spectator.

FREQUENCY OF CRIME We had occasion not long since to allude to, and deplore, the great increase of crime in our country; and we observe that other journals make it also the subject of comment. A morning paper attributes "the general increase of poverty and crime" both in England and the United States, to "the extensive charities and the number and variety of societies for the relief of human wants and the cure of human vices." This would indeed throw us back into the dark ages; and were the remark well founded, would prove philanthropy to be a curse. If charities arc so misdirected as to weaken the inducements to industry, that misdirection is undoubtedly, pro tanto, a drawback upon the benefits they are otherwise calculated to produce. But even that does not prove that such charities are not useful in the main nor docs it apply at all to those that are founded for the relief of such as by infirmity, age, or accident, are unable to labor. Many charities, and many societies too, have been founded for the express purpose of promot ing industry, and.

are, in their organization, well adapted to tht end. Despair is as fatal to industry as reliance, and proper encouragement is often a powerful auxiliary in its advancement. 1 hat much of the increase ol crime is attributable to the "amelioration of the criminal code, to the abolition of corporal punishment, and to the misplaced sympathy for criminals" we fully admit; but we also think that not a small portion of it is to be ascribed to the public journals, which minister to the morbid taste of the age. The articles most eagerly shout for, and most readily inserted, are those which detail the cunning contrivances of thieves and pickpockets, or deep malignity and unhallowed passions of murderers and other felons. The most disgusting details are sought for, and our police offices and criminal courts are almost literally beseiged, for the obtainment of such records of depravity as they may be made to furnish.

We cannot so well express our views of the dangerous tendency of this course of proceeding, as by giving place to a brief article on the subject from the pen of our friend, the Editor of the Boston Mercantile Journal. lie observes "The times are out of joint. Mankind seem to be vying with each other in the commission of atrocities. The papers are filled with accounts of murders, suicides, duels, robberies, and other crimes. Of suicides, in particular, there is a fearful amount.

To inquire into the source of this diseased state of the general mind would lead us into speculations not exactly adapted to a popular newspaper, but the subject would be an interesting one, provided there was plenty of time and plenty of room. Arc not editors somewhat to blame for feeding the public with highly colored narratives of all the wild and monstrous shapes in which guilt appears? We can hardly open a newspaper without "supping full of horrors." No one can be constantly reading of horrible crimes and dwelling upon them without some injury to the moral sense, and, in some men, the contemplation of the imaginary picture begets an unaccountable desire to experience and know the true one. And then too, what eclat a murderer acquires. His name and deed fly from one end of the Union to the other. His portrait is stuck up in the shop windows his trial is copied and commented upon crowds attend him to the scaffold, and he is the hero of the day.

What notoriety can be so easily obtained it is no wonder that many aspire after it." Once more wc anneal to the belter feelings of the fraternity, on the subject of uniting in an effort to improve the character of the public press. Why may not a convention be formed, agree upon a plan, and establish rules that shall be calculated to make our papers more useful, less offensive to good taste, and in all respects render them more worthy of the patronage of the public Why is it not as practicable, by mutual agreement, uniform prices for advertisements, and such other regulations for mutual benefit as have been from time to time agreed upon and adhered to? Let us throw aside the little bickerings, and the personal squabbles, too often indulged in, and give to our journals a higher moral tone; and instead of groping in the purlieus of courts and jails of police offices and bridewells, for items of news, let them be devoted to the higher objects of imparting such kind of information as' may elevate the mind, purify the morals, and refine the taste of our patrons. Yankee Enterprize. A Gentleman, not long since from Mexico, informs us of another specimen of the cnterprize peculiar to the American character. Vera Cruz is the sea port of Mexico, distant about two hundred miles.

Tor a long pe riod of time, tlirco weeks have been occupied in passing by the regular conveyance between the two cities, until about two years since, when a regular line of American stages was established. By this arrangement, the time occupied by the journey is reduced to five days, and the fare is 870. Our informant says the sensation is rather a peculiar and gratifying one for an American to scat himself in a regular built Troy Coach, drawn by American horses, with Yankee drivers, and go through the mountainous passes of the Andes with the same kind of traveling equipage with which he has been accustomed to cross the Green Mountains. The entire establishment was sent out from this country, and the principal owners now are three of the Drivers, on the line of whom one is a native of Brattleboro, Vt. At first, and even at this day, these coaches are frequently assailed and pelted by the mob, who are indignant at the loss of business which has been wrested from them, as formerly a vast number of mules and donkeys were occupied in the transportation of passengers.

The proprietors, it is said, received a net profit of nearly $40,000 each the first year of the experiment, but great hazards and perilous encounters are had with the banditti which constantly infest the mountains. Northampton Courier. 71 Cotton Speculations. We have been informed of various large sums of money suddenly made, within the last ten days, by the great and unexpectcdjrise in this staple article. One instance, as it did not occur here, we may be permitted to relate.

A New Orleans merchant, largely concerned in the cotton trade, happening to be in N. York, the notion took him to make a trip to Liverpool, to which he was in reality induced more by the superior accommodations of the New York packets, than from any call of business. He had no sooner landed in Liverpool, than he made himself, in a few days, perfectly familiar with the state of the Cotton Market This knowledge, united to his full acquaintance with the market in this country satisfied him that a rise was about to take place in England. He proceeded to employ an agent who purchased on his account a very large amount of cotton. Before even the bills could be made out, and the cotton delivered to him, the rise in price which now agitates this market, suddenly took place; and so great the advance, from day to day, that, in one week, the sagacious New Orleans It vvas remarked by M.

de Talleyrand of the affability of the late Emperor Alexander, that no despotic Sovereign could have an excuse for a want of condescension to his inferiors, but that constitutional monarchs had many excuses to plead for this distance and regard of firms. 'The said Talleyrand, 'is never alarmed, lest the person with whom he condescends to be familar should presume, upon that condescension, to improper familarity on his own side, because ho knows that the party so honored never loses sight of the power which the Sovereign has to punish him severely even for a look of The constitutional Monarch, on the contrary, is in constant dread lest his condescension should make those to whom it is shown annoyingly familiar, for he knows that the only punishment he can bestow, is turning his back on the offender. The Cour Ro)TaIe has confirmed the decision of the Tribunal de Premiere Instance in the case of the heirs of the Prince dc Salm against Charles by which it is declared that a debt incurred by the latter during the emigration, for troop raised for the purpose of invading France, is illegal, and cannot be enforced before a French tribunal. Lord Lovatt (from Walpole's Letters.) When he came to the Tower, he told them, that if ho Were not so old and infirm, they would find it very difficult to keep him there. At his own house he used to say, that for thirty years of his life he never saw a gallows but it made his neck ache.
