New Testament for the Blind.-- -Science has, in late years, done much to alleviate the unhappy condition of the blind; and one of its greatest achievements is the printing of books for their use. Taking advantago of the blind's proverbial nice cess of touch, books have been printed with raised characters. . The blind, by running tbeir fingers over the page, distinguish the letters and are thus enabled to comprehend tho sense. The whole New Testament has been printed in this manner. '. For this net of real benevolence nnJ philanthropy, tho blind are indebted to to tho Ma9sacnu. setts Bible Society. The whole has been printed in compliance with the rules of that society, without note or comment. lj.if. falo Com, Ado. Armand Carrel. The following is an extract from a letter of O. P. Q. published in the New.Yoik Duily Advertiser o'. bat ufdav. The subject of it is Armand Carrel, tho lute editor of tho National.' His death has caused considerable excitement in Eu. one. I lis writings it is said, were the main cause of tho. revolution of the three days in 1830. He fell in a duel with the editor of a paper called tho 'Presse.' Uarrel had a irreat hatred or violence though he looked upon animal courage as indispensable to a public man. and to the chief of a party Carrel was no regicide! he hated scaffolds bloodshed and the substitution, of tho courage of' the hands, for the progress of reason and tho influence of truth. If Carrel fought duels, he was no duellist ; but he falsely imagined his posi tion required it. . . Imbeciles that they are. I remember to have heard him exclaim, when speaking of certain anarchists, who imagined that the cause of the repubno was to be served by force and violence. Carrel was n gentleman ! ' His manners were most finished. He entered the room not as a swaggerer, but as a statesman, and was uniformly well dressed, kept a good table, rodo on horseback nearly every day and associated with the best society. He was as free from vulgarity, as ho was from pride or ostentation. Carrel had undertaken to write the lite of Napoleon. If he had lived to com plete it, all other histories of that great man would have been laid aside, and e ven the decline and fall of the Roman Empire, by Gibbon, would not have ex celled it. Carrel was a great orator, as well as writer. These qualifications are seldom combined. In conversation, he was as eloquent as Coleridge. At the tribune he was as nervous as Brougham, and as to lus writings, Chateaubriand has not hesi tatcd to place him on an equal rank with the first writers of the last and present century. The Doel in which Carrel was engaged and which terminated in his death, was lit tie better than murder on the one hand, and suicide on the otner. That man, Girardin had no more right to fight with Carrel, a bout tho trumpery aflUir, the mere commer cidl speculation, than the most obscuro merchant's clerk would have tho right to demand satisfaction of Gen. Jackson Currel acted in circumstances without being convinced of the propriety of his conduct He therefore anticipa'eJ death, and made his will ! On the day prior to the duel, one of his most intimate friends breakfasted with him He was as cheerful and affectionate us ever, but he said not a word as to thee vent of the uext day. It is thought that he disapproved himself of tho step I.e was a bout to take ; yet he know not how, with honor and propriety, to retract his engage mcnt. It is high time that tho subject of Duel ling should be taken up in France. It is high time that these civilized ( ! ) murders should be put a stop to ! lt is really mfa. mous for an enlightened and great people as are tho French, to allow themselves to ba tho dupes of tho most wretched svstcm of butchery ever invented by the devil or nis angcis. nero was a philosopher: statesman : a great public writer ; a patriot a lover of his species : a faithful and devo ted friend; agooJ mister: an impartial upright, honest, conscientious citizen ; tho pride of the young and the hope of the a gcd, called out in a wooJ in the neighbor hood of Paris, (the Bois do Vincennes) and ttiere wounded mortally, by a man named Girardin ! f And for what? For some noble cause, to ensure the triumph of iiocrty ana truth t jno such thing, liut M. Girardin, an obscuro individual, who has set up a new commercial speculation a cheap Journal ; considers himself offended by an article in tho National insults M Carrel threatens lo publish a biography and expose him ! and thus urges on a duel with a man whose shoes he was not wor thy to blacken. Thus France and Europe, and the world thus literature, and the cause of liberty and truth, are to be depri ved of a wise, noble, great & glorious being because a mere speculator in Journals cries tor blood! Tho funeral of Armand Carrel, I of course attended. There wero about ten thousand mourners ; and I should suy that halt ot them even slicd tears. Cha teubriand I stood near. He was too much affected to speak. The poet of tho people Beranger, wept like an infant! and the kind and generous hearted Thibeaudean fho associate and friend of Carrel, was so overcome by grief, that he could give utter. ance to a few eloquent words of sorrow and regret. My dear Carrel he said shall I never see you more 7' and I thought his heart woul i burst as ho put the ones tion to himself, for tho dead could not reply to his sad interrogation. Tho remains of Carrel were interred for tho time being at the village cemetery of oaime Mauaom me city oi liouen, which gave him birth only 35 years 020 has claimed his ashes; and David has engaged to present the birth placo of his departed, friend, a marble, but almost speaking bust, from his own immortal ch sel. .'.

" The most interesting, intelligence they contain is that in relation to Spain, some of which wo extract.

Cour, and Enq. ' Extract of a letter from Madrid ot the 16th instt "Our communications with La Granja are surrounded by such riivste rv. and are so slow besides, that this Capi tut, alarmed at all the excesses convnitttd during tho last two days, might almost be tempted to believe that there is at this mo- merit no longer any. ltoyai autnonry in Spain. The dominant influence is that ol terrorism supported by military revolt. It is certain, according to tho opinion of every body, that tho Queen, intimidated by tho cries of death uttered by u soldiery in a state of the most brutal drunkenness, has been forced to abdicate as it were, her sore- reign power for tho time being. Some sol- diers, the blind instruments of tho secret societies, ' havo hewn in pieces with their swords tho constitutional compact ; we will sav more, the social one. The con stitution of 1812, by virtue of a Royal De crce, torn from our sovereign rather than granted by her, is to bo considered to day as the object of a kind of worship. At five, this afiernoon. on. immense crowd rushed to the Plaza Mayor, where a pro visional stone had been brought, inscribed " Place of tho Constitution." The fixing of this stone took place amids salvos of artillery, and acclamations uttered with tho liveliest enthusiasm. To-morrow the constitution will bo proclaimed with the usual formalities, r roin eleven this mor ning all the balconies of the Capital were covered with rich carpets, and tins evening there will be a general illumination, lo morrow tho Queen, brought from La Grai.ja by the troops that beleaguer her, will enter the capital, wnere a mucous sys tern of terror is going to be established already all persons attached to the Isturitz administration, or known lor tho modera tion of their opinions, have been forced, in order to escape horn outrage or the blow of hired assassins, to fly from Madrid, or to keep themselves carefully ' concealed. There is no more security lor the citizens Quesada, who had fled from Madrid in the morning, was massacred yesterday at tlor taletza, two leagues from the Capital, by some national guards, who thus cruelly re venged themselves for his severe order of the day. He was shot in a cowardly man ner by murderers in the uniform of the Ur ban Militia. M. Isturitz and his colleagues would have suffered tho same fate if some generous friends had not given them shel ter. All the state functionaries connected with tho late government have deserted Madrid ; and it may be well believed that they havo not beon replaced. What Ministry in tho midst of this popu lar effervescence, this bloody reaction, would preserve uninjured tho deposit of public order ? The possibility of tho new cabinet existing is not credited here ; it is impotent from its very birth, and unable to repress the thirst for private vengeanco, which seems to have got hold of part of the opulation. Insurrection rears her head oftily, and with her feet in blood, she pre pares to dictate laws. In, the streets the most menacing groups circulate quito free, ly ; disorder is every where, the authorities alone do not appear. This state of things is too violent to last long.. Tho band of Barilio being in possession of Aragon, complicates our embarrassments and in creases our uneasiness. LATE FROM ENGLAND. The ship John Taylor, capt. Luce, ar rived yesterday. We have been furnish ed by the capt. with London papers to the 29:h, and Liverpool to the 33th ultimo, on which latter day she sailed. The most interesting news received by this vessel is that of a dissolution of the Ministry ofLouis Phillippe. It docs not ap pear settled at the last accounts whether the whole of the ministers had resigned or M. Thiers, tho President of the Council only. It is however a matter of little consequence. M. Thiers was tho life and soul of the King's Cabinet, and his retirement is virtu, ally the dismemberment of the Ministry The cause which has led to the resignation ofM. Thiers appears to be a difference of opinion between him and tho King on the question of tho immediate intervention of Franco in Spain, in favor of the Queen. Tho King persisting in opposing it in oppo sition to his Minister. And really when we consider the contradictory 'elements which make up the different parties in Spain, tho indomitable spirit of tho Spanish people, wo cannot wonder that the habitual caution of tho king leads him to shrink from embarking in a cause, in which, when once engaged, he cannot foresee, to what ex trcmcs ho may bo compelled, to go, . Ill Madrid, wo have no doubt, all is anar chy and that the Queen and her daughter are entirely at the mercy of the solJiery and those who direct their movements. Cour. and Enqi V . FRANCE. t .'; ;. London, Aug. 29. Wo announced by an extraordinary express, from Paris,' tja Saturday morning, that M. Thiers with fivo of his Ministerial Colleagues, had resigned their places in tho Cabinet, oh the ground of differing from tho King upon the question of the intervention in Spain. That state, mcnt was made expressly upon tho authority of the Journal de Paris, an evening paper, which has been hitherto regarded as all but an official organ of tho Government. On the following day (Friday) however, in consequence of some juggling which had taken place during the night, tho jvioniteur, the avowed organ, published the following bulletin, which as may be imagined, produc ed not a little surprise in Paris: . The President of the Council, Minister of Foreign Affairs, has to-day tendered bis resignation to the King. r rom which it would appear that the re- signations were conhned to M. liners himself. Since writing tho above, the Paris papers of Saturday have come to hand. They are fully engaged in discussing the Minis terial whereabouts. I he Courier rrancais most unfairly asserts that Mthe Moniteur has ceased to be the official Journal." Notwithstanding the indirect denial of the Moniteur of Friday, the Journal de Paris of that evening publishes the following bul. letin: "Several Morning Papers of that day appear to believe that M. Pniers had rear cd alono from the Ministry, and that, con scquently, the Cabinet still exists. Ihese Journals were misinformed. The Cabinet is dissolved. We are autho- rised by M. M. Passv, Sauzet, Duperre, Muison, and (Petit de la Lozere,) to declare that they meant to concur in the resolve of M. Thiers." With this singular drama the Paris Press ofvSaturday are fully occupied,, but the ftvipie statement ot tacts above given taail we deem necessary for the moment to copy from our Parisian ColempOiaries. Oil the subject which led to this crisis interven tion in Spain the Pai is papers are equally diffuse in comment. The Journu'l des De bate contains a furious non-interventional argument, which it makes tho vehicle for a tirade, unhappily but too strongly justified against "the cut-throats" (egorgeurs,) who huye usurped the uovernmcut oLSpani made the ijuccn a prisoner, &c, and con eludes with the notable advice that the con tending parties bo suffered to fight it out This view of the question is 110 doubt that of his Majesty of tho Barricades, whose perceptions have lately received vast aid from certain intimations conveyed by M Phalcn, D'Appony, and Wert.ier, on the part of their majesties of Russia, Austria and Prussia, and by which the King has been enabled to perceive that General Lo beau was in error in the statements made by him of the gooi will of his Majesty for liberal Spanish nation, and that reinforce ments were on their march for the Foreign Legion in Spain by his orders. SPAIN. ' On Spanish affairs, the Journal do Paris of Friday night contained the following bulletin : General Espartero has been appointed by tho new uovernment Commander-in Chief ad interim. At Valcarios, Ituraldo has surrendered himself to the Clnistino and several of his cavalry. It appears that M. Ferrier declines entering tho Ministry. M. Mcndizabel attends the Council, but is not a member. In the evening of the 18th a contest took place between tho soldiers coining irom ban lldefonso, and part of 1 regiment belonging to the garrison of Mad rid, The soldiers from San lldefonso, com bined with the militia, forced the barracks in which their adversaries had entrenched themselves, by bringing cannon to bear up on litem.

Judge Lynch has put on his ju dicjal petticoat, and called out his corn peers for regular battle with the factories. Some two thousand girls they generally measure the commodity in that city by miles were on Saturday last encamped, with several hundred men and boys by way of a Hank., guard. The damsels making up this formidable array, are represented as being in great spirits. They had a regular meeting in the City Hall in the evening: but they very discreetly concluded that it best comported with tho character of their sex, to hold their deliberations in tho day time. The immediate cause of tho insur rection appears to have been a reduction of the girl's wages twelve and a half cents a week, or, what is in their unsophisticated opinion equivalent to it, tha companies in creased that sum upon the price of board.

The United Slates havincr withdrawn the territorial government, we are left to govern ourselves, under our own constitution and state laws. If so then will it be reasonable or right young and feeblo as we are, any longer to bo do. prived of our share of the appropriations and the privileges granted by the general government to all tho states of the Union ? Congress has ex amincd our conhtilution, assented to its republi can character, and acknowledge! our right to act in the capacity of a stato, by authorizing our legislature to call a convention for tha purpose of assenting to their terms of a Imission. Tho c are the arguments of those who have decidoJ not to comply with tho tjrms proffereJ by the gene ral government ; if wo understand thjm. To be sure, congress his described certain boundaries as tho limits of our state, not agreeing with those described in our compact ; yet, near the close of the last session, they admitted us as stato of the Union, by sanctioning the doings of our government, not only, but by assigning other work for un, and allowing pay to our congress ional members J id they not ? Then, of c Jurt.e our members senators anJ rcprjscnlaJve will have their scats at the next session, and the vote of our electors of president and vice prcsi dent will be allowed. Wo were for a compliinco with tho congress ional requisition, as tha shortest and surest way to admission ; but since that course has b.cn dc. feateJ, we would hope those who have blocked the eitrance at that door, have found another, equally easy and plain. They aro tha majority, who declare us already a state. A state already ! If so a state in the Union !

Washington, October 1, 1830. Dear Sir: Th President returned t3 Washington this morning. I have seen him and havo never known him to look in such perfect healtlu The chief object of my visit, however, was to seo him in relation to the afrajr9 0f Michigan, so that I might bo enabled to communicate to vou h s views on some of tho matters of interest to vou at present, as received from his own lips. No question has arisen since the nullifica tion of South Carolina, which hns given him so much anxiety as the ndmission of Michi gan into tho Union. His sympathies and feelings are with you, but I am apprehen sive, that the course which the result of your elections would seem to indicate you aro about to pursue, will compel him to the adop tion" of measures Avhtch lie would like to avoid. As fo what measures he may direct in the event of a rejection, by your conven tion, of the conditions of the act of con grcss, I am not authorized to stato ; but I can assert confidentially, that if your peo ple are determined, as I hope they arc, to sustain tho convention, should they do so, at all hazards, they have many and sever trials in store. Let them reflect well be fore they lake tho step, but onco done let no man look back upon the past. Once committed, Michigan cannot retrace her steps. Let all parties unito in effecting tho one great object, the minority acquiescing in tho decision of tho . majority, and let it then emphatically bo ' no submission" even though tho world might say we ex hibited more spirit than reason. The President is clearly of tho opinion, that no portion of tho dividend of tho sur plus revenue, nor tho five per cent on tho sale of public lands, can or will be, under the act of congress, paid to your state until her admission ; and that if she is not admit ted as a stato of the Union on tho first of January, 1837, you must lose your portion of the public revenue. Tho act of con grcss, ho thinks, requires the surplus money in the treasury on the first of January, to bo divided amongst tho states of the Union at that time, and that consequently Michigan as a state out of the Union cannot bo inclu ded. These views I had previously re ceived from the secretary of the Treasury. Neither tho President nor Secretary con-. sider that any right has accrued to Michi. gan in thoo funds, as a state, by the pas sago of tho act of congress for her admis sion without her assent to the alteration of boundary accompanying it. I fully concede that ii.tirest is tho worst and basest of alljiassions by which men con bo governed, and that it should seldom if ever bo appealed to. But when I look at the situational! which Michigan is placed I am led to ask whero is her remedy ? That sho has been grossly , wronged, I adV rtiitV'but can sho find tho mean's of redress?; Tho issu'o placed before her is bul tho high wayman's alternative, and she must yield to tha forco of circumstances. The estimate which I have received from tho treasury department will give Michigan, if a stito of tho Union on tho first pf Janu ary next, about one hundred and fifty thousand dollars from vho fivo per ccut
