I
Prom the Cambridge Lhroncle.i
MR. BELZONI.
At length some intelligence has arrived of the in
toped and indefatigable traveller, Mr. Belzoni._
We have been favoured with the following extract
of letter which has been received from him. We
great to say, that neither place nor date are given
in the letter, for reasons which Mr. Belzoni subse
quently states :—
u It will be difficult for you, my dear friend, to
believe to what an excess, the rpvenge of petty men
ss carried. You will have seen by my letters from
Fez and Gibraltar, how far I had advanced in the
good will of the Moorish people, and what were my
hopes of success, when I was socruelly disappointed.
I must now tell you, that my progress in that quar
ter was stopped, not by the Moors, but by the in
trigues of some, persons in office, who avail them
selves of the occasional authority given them by
their superiors to vent their spleen on an unprotect
ed individual who refuse to stoop and pay court to
them. Not satisfied with the disappointment they
occasioned, l find (further information which I re
ceived by the last packet to the Brazils, that touched
at Teneriflfe, be correct) that they have accused me
of making an improper use of some letters of intro
duction which had been given to me, and of endea
vouring to pass myself ns an agent of the British
Government. You well know that I distincly sta
ted to you, in my letter Loin Tangier that I had
nothing to do with the British Government, and that
1 relied entirely on my own resources. This letter
5 am happy to see by an English paper now befoic
me, you made public; and in further confirmation I
•shall inclose to you the copy of a letter l received
from the Moorish Minister at Fez. I request of
you to dome the favor, if you have seen or heard of
any erroneous statements, to give publicity to this
letter, and also to give a copy of the receipt, in pay
ment for 1 GO dollars, which 1 gave to Mr. Dougins,
the English Consul at Tangier, for some fine white
eiotli, to mane presents or at fez. I mention these
things to shew you how little pretext there was for
their accusation; but they arc wofully mistaken if
they think to hinder me by such means—nothing but
•death itself shall deter me from pursuing mv inten
tions. Mrs. Beizoni will furnish you with a copy
of the receipt I allude to. I trust to your kindness
anti friendship to refute the calumnies against me ;
be assured that all is going on well—but it is hard
to consider, that, instead, of bring supported. I am
persecuted ; but I must have patience, and if 1 suc
ceed, why the mortification will be with my adver
saries. 1 am now in the latitude of 21 degrees
north ; that is all I can tell you for the present, for
b ar my enemies should come to the knowledge ol
whereas I am. Excuse iny hasty scrawl.
The following is the copy of the letter to whirl
Mr. Beizoni refers, and the original of which, in
Arabic, is in his possession :
“Know, that his imperial majesty ha* ordere'
this communication from ;nc, Sidi Benzeltil, to tlu
friend and gentleman Beizoni. We have receiver
your letter, by which we observe your arrival a'
Tangier, and that you wish to come to the roya
presence. Vou will come, and every thing ym
wan? will he granted agreeable to your wish, will
tho help of God. Jadah Bcnnilsh, our agent at Gi
braltar, has written to us on the subject, and he re
quested ine to pay you every attention, ami to faeili
t ite every thing you wish—there was no necessity
of it, as I am well aware of your.situation more than
what lie has explained—It is quite suffident what
you fifty, that you are the man I knew at Egypt._
My master, w hom God Preserve, has already order
ed thw yon proceed to Fez with due honor and at
tention, and you shall be before hi* high majestv._
l will get you the order to pasc and repass to the ci
ties you may please, with respect and honor."’
We. have great pleasure inlaying hrtfore our rea
ders a long list of subscribers in aid of Mr. Beizoni")
undertaking ; but we regret to learn from Mr. Be],
zoni's own statement, that the expenses of his inur
ney to and from Fez., and residence there, togethei
with the necessary presents and other articles, a
mounted to the sum of/. 1000, defrayed by himself
We understand that through the interterest of the
Moorish minister at Fez, an express dromedary ha«
been sent from f ez. to f imhuctoo, with money and
letter* for Beizoni, in case the caravan should have
r.lrcady departed for Timburcoo. No European,
on whose veracity we can depend, has hitherto
d* iched this extraordinary city—it will he a fine
r;field for Belzoni’s enferprize, and he deserves the
patronage and the good wishes of the liberal and cn
lightcncdyf all conatrics.
Another most singular Apparition in high lift.
As strange appearances and disappearances, mi
racles, and horrors, s £ m to be very much in fashion
at present, we cannot withhold from our renders the
following interesting narrative, suited as it is to the
taste of tiic times. One circumstance, which may
in some mcastirc detract from its credibility, is, that
it bears a strong resemblance to one re recollect to
have seen in some collection of Ghost Stories. All
that we can vouch for, is the fact that the tiling has
been much talked of in Staffordshire, and, indeed, in
the immediate neighborhood of the noble marquis,
who is the hero of the adventure. Wc give it mere
ly as a current story :
One night, during the last summer, a noble mar
quis (then residing at his seat,T-, in S-,)
dreamt that a savage murder had been committed,
and that the murderer was then about to inter his
victim in a retired spot in his (the marquis's) dc
inrnse. The f. ight occasioned by this circumstance,
caused the nobleman to awake, but recovering from
it, lie again disposed himself to rest, and fell asleep,
when the same horrid scene presented itself to his
imagination, and he again consequently, awoke.—
Rendered a little nervous by this singular repetition,
some time elapsed before he could resume his slum
ber; but at length he did so, when the same appall
ing vision a third time haunted him, and he once
more awoke. After a few minutes his lordship re
covered Irom the effects of this thrice-repeated
dream ; but it being then broad day-light, lie arose,
determined to seek by a walk in his park to restore
the tone of his nerves. Impressed by the remarka
ble circumstance that had so occurred, lie summon
ed one or two servants to attend him. and directed
his steps towards that part of the park indicated in
his dream. Wc have already said that place was
unfrequented j liut by a sudden turn in the patli
which led to it, the view of it burst all at once, upon
the noble lord, who was a few naces in advance of
ms attendants. Alarmed by a sudden exclamation
from his lordship, they rushed forward, and arrived
just in time to see a man rush through the under
wood as if to escape, in which he succeeded. All
now pressed forward, and on searching the identical
spot, of which the noble marquis had dreamt, they
found an excavation in the earth, apparently intend
ed for a grave, upon which the man who lied had
been at work ; he left behind him a spade,and some
othertdigging implements. The fugitive never w as
discovered.
Here the matter would, in all probability, have
rested, food only for conjecture, but for the simulta
neous flight or disappearance of a kitchen maid, or
cook, and a footman, from his lordship's service,
without leaving a single, trace behind them. Vari
ous rumours were consequently, afloat for a consi
derable time afterwards in the neighbourhood ; that
which was most generally believed, however, was,
that an illicit intercourse had subsisted between the
parties ; that, on account, perhaps, of the pregnan
cy ol the female, the man had murdered, and intend
ed to bury her iu the grave which lie was actually
preparing, when interrupted by his noble master.
HORRID MURDER AT STOCKPORT.
A dreadful murder has 1m:ch committed at Heaton
Norris near Stockport, upon the body of a young
woman of tin* name of Mar y Dow .vs. It has ex
cited an intense sensation in this populous neighbor
hood, particularly as a gentleman of the most re
spectable connections, of the name of Mr. M. has
had suspicions thrown upon him relative to the busi
ness. We are happy, however, to state that those
suspicions have proved groundless.
The murder took place very early in the morning
of Sunday, the 23d of November. It appears that
late on Saturday evening, the deceased, w ho is re
presented to have been an interesting voting female,
about 26 years of age, had been at the works of Mr.
M. in Stockport. Before her leaving there, Mr. M.
’wished her to have the company of one of the watch
men engaged at the works, to protect her on her way
-home to Heaton \orris. Unfortunately, the young
woman declined the offer, and she left alone. About
2 oclock, on Sunday morning, a man of the name
of James Shaweross, employed as an occasional
■waiter at a public house called t'nr King’s Head, in
Heaton Norris, was returning to his own house, hav
ing been up late assisting the company at the King’s
Head ; his mad lay through a field belonging to
a Mr. \xon, and there he perceived the body of the
deceased. His terror was so great at the sight that
it was some minutes fiefore he ventured to approach
the body. He at length obtained sufficient touts go,
and proceeded to the place, where she was laying up
on her back, with the cloak thrown over her, a'nd a
silk handkerchief at the top. lie instantly returned
to tho King's Head, and procured the assistance of
the landlord and others, who went to the placc,and
the body was carried to the house. Ft presented a
most shocking spectacle. Her death appeared to
have been caused by strangulation with a cord or
thin handkerchief, it was evident the deceased had
resisted considerably; several of her ribs and the
spine was broken ; her face was dreadfully lacera
ted, as if she had been dragged upon the ground ;
and it is supposed that the murder was committed
not in the field where the body was found, which is
in a low situation at the foot of a steep declivity,
but in the field above, and that the corpse had been
afterwards flung down the precipice. The features
of this young woman, which had been so much ad
mired in her lifetime, were most dreadfully disfigur
ed by the barbarities that had been inflicted upon
her.
A Coroner’s inquest was held on Tuesday, at the
Boar’s Head, lleaton Norris. Strong suspicion had
attached upon a man of the name of James Horse
field, a former sweetheart of the deceased. This
Horsefield had been tried at Chester for felony, and
this circumstance appears to have caused a coolness
on the part of her friends towards him. It was sup
posed that he had been waiting for htr when she
left Mr. M. on Saturday night, and that, influenced
by jealousy, he had committed the horrible crime.
He was accordingly taken into custody, but denied
having been from home that night. A number of
witnesses were examined at the inquest. Several
ot them proved that Horsefield, notwithstanding his
denial of his not having been from home, was seen
three times that evening in her company. After a
patient hearing of the case, the Jury returned a ver
dict of Wilful Murder against Horsrfictd, who was
committed to Lancaster Castle. The Jury said, thev
completely exhoncrated Mr. M.from any suspicion.
EXTRAORDINARY NARRATIVE.
On the 9th of May, 18*20, the smack Princess
of Wales sailed from London, for Prince Ed
ward’s Island, in the Indian Sea, for the purpose
of catching seals, which sea they reached on the
17th of March 1821. At midnight she struck
on the Island ofCrozetlc, and the crew got out
the long boat, notwithstanding the proposal of
the captain, who, acquainted with the desola
tion that prevailed on the island, thought it
would he better to go down than to brave starva
tion and other miseries. They reached the
shore having saved nothing from the wreck but
a tinder-box, a gridiron, a frying pan, a lance
and a few knives. before this occurrence eight
of the crew had left the smack in a boat, with
the intent to fish close to another island, on
which they were obliged to go ashore, and next
morning each thought the other lost. Those
who landed in the island of Crozetto were seven
in number. The night was as dark as pitch,
and the sufferers bad no other means of protec
tion than the boat, which they turncxl over them
selves as a security against the sea-elephants,
which were in great abundance in the neigh
borhood. In the morning they saw the vessel
on her beam ends, with a large hole in the bot
tom, and a heavy sea washing over her. With
difficulty, on account of the heavy sea, they suc
ceeded, after several attempts, in getting pos
session of a few chests of spoiled bread, a part ol
one of the sails, some rigging, and at last they gol
hold of the mast, w hieh was soon separated by
the storm from the vessel. For three woek=
they lay under the boat, being prevented froir
building « but by the inclemency of the wea
thcr. They lived upon birds and the tongue1
and hearts o.‘ tie* sea elephants. The former
they were enabled to catch with ease ; ;bc lat
ter they killed with the lance which they saved
from the wreck, Covered the roofs with skins
of the sea-elephants and made beds of grass.
—Their winter in consequence of the island
being in about 17 degrees south latitude and 47
degrees east longitude, took place at the period
of ofir summer season ; but, indeed so inclement
was flie weather during their abode there that
the summer may be said to hr' limited loom
month /’heir clothes lasted until December
wheo tbay were obliged to ist- -kins, whjc1
Uicy ?cwoa togctncr with tlic sinew* ot the sea
elephant by means of an old nail. Their whole
time was occupied between eating and lying in
wait for the sea elephants and birds, and reading
a bible which had been saved from the wreck,
and co-operated with the sulFcrings they had
undergone in reforming the most dissolute a
inongst them. The mouth of December had not
ended, when they were astonished and delighted
at seeing a boat rowed up to the beach, and
their eight ship-mates, who they feared had
been lost, land upon the island. It happened
that the very {dans adopted by one party had
been acted upon by the other. They were
dressed in the same manner and had lived in
the same way ; but those who had left their isl
and had not been able to raise a hut, and had
ventured again upon the water in search of a
more comfortable abode, which they found a
mongst their friends, after a search to the dis
tance of about 15 miles. The twoisln\gJs were
distant fromeachother upwards of three leagues;
and the inhabitants being thus collected, and ha
ving lived together three weeks, the means of
living began to become more slack, and it was
agreed upon that five of the number should go
back to the island to live upon the produce there,
while those who remained where they were
should build a vessel of the materials of the huts
| and the planks of some houses which the Amer
; icons had formerly erected, and were buried in
the sand. After the most dreadful fatigue they
succeeded in building a stone house, and were
at the same time proceeding with the ship, in
which, wretched as it necessarily must be, they
were determined to attempt to return home.
—In about five months a lugger of about 12 tons
was completed. They launched her and intend
ed to depart the day after; but to their dismay,
on the very night of the launch, she was blown
amongst the rocks, and her stern was beaten in.
Scarcely, however, had tliis calamity occurred,
when an old fellow, who was constantly em
ployed on the look-out, cried out “a sail!”
They all looked in the same direction, but the
general opinion was the sail was no other than a
large bird, which had often led them into errors of
the same sort. They however lighted a fire with.
the blubber of the sea-elephant, thcironly fuel, on
the most elevated part of tho island, to attract
die attention of the vessel, if there should be one
in sight. They soon saw a schooner which sent
a boat on shore. Tlic shipwrecked seamen ran
towards this delightful object: but as seal skin
trowsers retarded their progress they threw
them off and the crew of the schooner actually
took them for a new race of inhabitants. f3o
g-eat was the desire of the unfortunate fellows
to get on board, that they actually ran into the
water and swam towards, the vessel, where they
were provided vith ever}- thing they wore in
want of. The schooner was the Philo of Boston,
Captain Percival. They were taken to the Isle
of Franee, and two of them, named Yealc and
Peterbridge came home in the Lord Exmouth,
Captain Evans.—Lon. Paper.

U. S. from Illinois, as Minister to Mexico—and
that there is no doubt the nomination will be
confirmed by the Senate.

Norfolk, Feb. 20.
The Court M artial.—On Lieut. Beverly
Kennun, of the Navv having taken all the evi
dence in the case, met yesterday to hear the de
fence of the accused,—Perhaps no case which
has been brought before a Court Martial since
tbc establishment of tbc navy lias involved such
important questions and principles in relation to
the discipline and welfare of the service, as
this; and none, wc arc confident, Iras ever exci
ted a more intense interest in those acquainted
with the facts, and tbc nature of the prosecu
tion. At present it would be improper for us
to enter into particulars. The Court, it gives
us pleasure to say, is composed of high-minded,
honorable and intelligent men, !r«un whose de
! liberations wc have reason to anticipate a deci
! sion which will be worthy of such a character.
The defence was delivered by General Tny
; lor, acting as Council for the accused, and oc
j copied a little more than two hours in the de
livery. The room in which it was delivered
wax crowded, and such was the interest and
curiosity excited on the occasion, that could
there have been a certainty of accommodation
for all that might have attended, the press of
spectators would have filled to overflowing the
largest building that could have been selected
on the station. The defence, as had been anti
cipated, was a masterly one,—at once bold,
manly and animated, and borrowing additional
lustre from the graceful and elegant manner of
its delivery. In a word, it was such a defence
as might become a brave and chivalrous heart
to conceive, and an eloquent and classic tongue
to utter.
The. Court have been occupied with this case
since the 30th January. Some delay was oc
casioned by the necessity of obtaining from the
editor of the Savannah Georgian evidence in le
gal form to identify the author of the annov
mous and libellioiis attack in that paper of Octo
ber f),on f.icut. Kcnnon, which was not receiv
ed until last Wednesday. Herald.

The Inhabitants of Richmond, and its Vicini
ty, are respectfully informed, that the next Ses
sion of my Classical School, will commence on
the 22d of March ne.v, and close on the 31st of
the following August. There will he a short
vacation in the month of April. The liberal
encouragement, which this Institution has re
ceived from an intelligent community, is a sa
tisfactory test of its practical utility.
To gratify such gentlemen, as have confided
to my care the education of their sons, 1 have
endeavoured to shew, that even in modern
times, a man may express his sentiments, on
the ordinary topics of his Profession, in the
Greek and Latin Languages If the above ad
vertisements have any defect, let it rest in the
shade, until impotent Criticism, and gray-eyed
Malice, favour us with a faultless specimen of
their classic lore ; let them not, until then, ex
haust their quiver, as their arrows shall pass by,
like the idle wind. The lovers of Accentua
tion are tenderly assured, that thei e is not a sin
gle Font of Greek, or French type, -with accents,
or breathings, in this city.
The Parents and Guardians of my Pupils, and
a!) literary Gentlemen, are invited to come, and
witness the recitation of i classes.
