xause he had received news that the Rus
sian main army was on the march agaiost
Silislrie, upon which, leaving 24,000 cav
alry to keep possession of the heights a
bout Prevadi,he retired to Choumla, in ol
der to be nearer Silistria, and in the cen
tre of operations. It is said that the Turks
are assembling at large forces also near
Aidos, and turn their chief attention to
Sizeboli.
Accounts from the frontiers of Walla
chia say, that in consequence of a sally of
the Turks from Will den there had been
an obstinate engagement with the Rus
sians, in which the Turks had been indeed
repulsed, but the supposed intention of
the Russians to cross the river, at that
point had been for the present prevented.
The official accounts of the Russians will
enable us to judge of these statements.—
At Belgrade it was still affirmed, that the
Sultan would go to the army.

Paris, June 10.
" The last letters from the Levant bring
us certain news that the blockade of the
Dardanelles has received all the ex
tension that was apprehended. Admiral
Ileyden, instead of revoking the declara
tion of AJmii al Ricord, has truly confirm
ed it; on the other hand, the Creek* who
have passed the isthmus of Corinth, which
was assigned as their boundaries, and now
masters of Missolonghi and Lepanto, make
every where declarations of blockade.
1 nus we shall soon see ail the coast
of the Ottoman empire prohibited to the
French and English merchants. Russia,
which has promised to waive its right as
a belligerent power in the Mediterranean,
and which subsequently seemed disposed
to coniine itself to the blockade of the
Dardanelles, now extends to all the coasts
of the Ottoman Europe a net which its al
lies cannot break through.
“Such is the result of the expedition to
the Morea, the effect of which has been to
encourage the Russians in their enterprise,
and to deliver up Greece to the influence
of their policy. It is with the money of
France that the Greeks have quitted the
Morea, ?nt* kave taken nosscssbn of those
coasts which are now going to be closed
against our commerce.
“Our readers will easily perceive all
the consequences that may arise from such
a state of things. If war breaks out be
tween the great Powers, and if the revo
lution should arise in France by means
of the electoral colleges, the weakness and
indecision of the present Minister will be
the cause of these two misfortunes.

Dr. Watkiks. As whatever concerns this
personage has become a subject of public inter
est, we give place to day to Mr. Southard’s let
ter in reply to his, addressed to the latter with
out signatuio, and written at the time of Wat
kins’s arrest in Philadelphia. In this letter, our
readers will recollect, Watkins acknowledges his
guilt, and prays Mr. Southard to save him from
disgrace and infamy, by confirming the false
statement, he had deliberately made to Harris,
the navy agent at Boston. Notwithstanding
the persevering and inveterate malice, with
which, in that statement, ho continues to assail
Mr. Kendall, the faithful instrument of his de
tection, we confess that the predominant feeling
in our minds, towards him is one of commisera
tion : not that we at all censure the steps which
have boon taken by the government, to vindicate
tho public justice of the eountry, by the exposure
and punishment of his delinquency j on the con
trary, we think them worthy of all approbation ;
but the agonies of detection, the feelings of deep
and bitter distress, the collapse and sinking of
the mind and henrt, which a man of genius, tal
ent, and cultivated fcoling, must have expo
rts need before he was driven to write the letter
to Mr. Southard, and in the progress of the do
velopement, and exposure of his numerous
frauds, must be sufficient to satiate the revenge
of his bitterest personal enemy, if there be any
entertaining such sentiment. If he be not indu
rated to shame and mortification, his feelings
,uan 0,5 no suDjoci ot envy to the wretch to whose
•neck the 'noose of the public executioner hns
•been adjusted. If tho object of the defending
• counsel be (nod, as -we rather suspect, as far as
•practicable, to screen the late administration,
and, under the clwaJk oftlie cause they are advo
cating, to abuse the present, rather than to pro
tect Watkius, they could scarcely expose him to
great*- injury, than to keep him held up day af
ter day, week after week, and month after month,
continually exposed to new impeachments, the
object of pity to tho good, and of contempt even
to those pnrtizans of the Coalition who have late
ly been his most clamorous and unscrupulous
advoentos. Conviction and punishment could
scarcely add one sting to his misery; and cea
sing to be exposed a spectacle to the world, an
•.object of contempt or melancholy pity, ho would
• soon pass down to that oblivion in which alone
he epn find protection. Wo would therefore re
commend to his counsel, and to the Court, if in
.decd khe insinuation which has been thrown out,
that hia.Qtosl efficient, if not his ablest, counsel
is on tho -bench, be true, lo let tho law take its
course^ and to permit tho proper punishment to
follow acknowledged guilt.
A wortHo Mr. Mouthard. The friends of the
late Administration of which he constituted a
part, have ransacked the treasures of the English
language in vtin, to find words of power ade
quate to ox proas their admiration of the part
which he bora io this transaction. He came in
<to possession, hy «bs acknowledgement of Wat
kin# himself at the time of the artest, of ample
proof of his guilt ; and this acknowledgement
accompanied by a proposition, than which, to a
well constituted mind, none could be more re
volting and offensive, that he should sustain by
V0T)UT7i th*8 *• it8 8H»otlnt, the false state
n»*nt mad* fur thd purpose of screening himself
from exposure and puuishment. W® can esti
mate the feelings of chagrin and mortification,
which must have filled his heart on witnessing
this undoubted proof of tho utter unworthiness of
the man whom he had cherished and befriended ;
but where are the flashings of indignant virtue
and conscious integrity on finding himself ap
proached by a proposition suggesting such foul
dishonor ? Does ho ask, as it is natural that the
public should ask, in what port of my character
or conduct has he discovered the flaw on which
he has presumed to suggest this pollution ? A
deplorable, though amiable we akness has blind
ed Mr. Southard to the line of conduct which it
became him to pursue ; and however we may be
disposed to allow, much to the sentiments of
friendship and personal regard entertained to
wards tho delinquent, wo insist that no strains
of exalted eulogy were ever more misplaced,
than those with which the Coalition Editors are
disposed to dock tho scene which occurred when
the requisition of the Court drew tho reluctant
letter from his pocket, as characterized by the
noblest feeling and the highest honor. It exhib
its him as au amiable wo confess, though a weak
man.
In the relation which the conduct of Mr.
Southard bore to the administration of justice
and the public interests, it will not be so easy to
find his apology. In the evident reluctance with
which the letter was surrendered, a disposition
was evinced to permit the escape of the accused,
and to screen him frem>j««tice, though lie car
ried in his pocket the (ncbntefetible proof of his
guilt. But wo feel rM disposition to urge this
matter. We would only recommend to tho
coalitionists, when next they arc at a loss for <\
subject of their ready panegyriek among tho
members of the lato administration, to use more
discretion in selecting the object whom they re
solve to make the victim of their applause.
LETTER FROM MR. SOUTHARD
Philadelphia, 1st. May, 1829.
Sir : Your letter to me, without signa

at that place. I have read both your let

not comply with your request to confirm
the statement. I am not aide to gather
from it with any certainty, what the alle

collection serve me so as to give any satis

curately informed of the charges which are
made, I will promptly and cheerfully an
swer upon every point, according to the
truth and my recollection. Any other an

to give. I have only to add, that I sin
cerely hope a full investigation will prove
that you are free Ironi just censure.

Tobias Watkins. Esq.
GUILDHALL
A Tai.eof Misery. Yesterday an elderly femalo
waited almost to a skeleton, was brought before
Mr Alderman Garret, in consequence of having
made two attempts to drown herself at Blackfri
ar's bridge on Sunday night.
Brown a watchman on duty at the bridge, stated
that about half-past twelve on Sunday night a
gentle.nan observed the prisoner to rush down the
stairs leading to the water, and strspecting from
Jier wi|d & agitated inanncr that the unfortunate
woman meditated self destruction,the gentleman
followed, and seized hor in the very act of plung
ing into tlie tidci Whe was brought up and after
some reinonstauce allowed to depart; but, instead
of proceeding up Biidgc-street, she went on the
bridge itself, and when nearly at the centie, she
clambered up on the balustrade. Brown saw
her, and running towards the spot laid hold of
this miserable being, whose life and sufferings
one minute more would have terminated. She
was perfectly sober; but declaring her fi rm de
termination to commit suicide, she was taken
to the Compter.
The constable bore intimated that the hus
band of the prisoner was in attendance, when
an old man stood forward.
“ What cause,”said the alderman, “prompted
you to attempt destroying yourself?*’
The prisoner buried her face in the bosom of
a fine little boy she held in her arms, and sobbed
dreadfully for a few moments; at length raising
her head, sho exclaimed, wildly,“ Off, God! did
I not endure till 1 could endure no longer? Did
I not suffer til) nature could suffer no more?
Havo not six long weary months passed with
out ever having stretched my side upon a bed ?
Nothing but the bare boards to lie on ; nothing
to cover mo and my babes but the rags we had
on by day—no, not even a blanket Did I not
endure all this? and yesterday ay yesterday, a two
penny loaf to support five helpless children, my
husband, and myself, Oh, do not blame me ; 1
could not bear it any longer.”
kiic Iiusnanu, turning round to nis wire, saut,
in a tone of earnest expostulation, “ but you
should have considered your life was not your
own, and that the being who has been pleased to
visit us with our afflictions has power to relieve
us. 1 have suffered as much as you have, yet I
have endured it ; and surely, Mary, 'twas not
kind in you to think of leiyvipg your children
motherless. It was very wicked indeed ; and I
hope air,” added the old matt, turning to the
alderman, “ that you* wiW. remonstrate with her."
I he alderman asked him, to give some account
of himself; when he mudotlic following reci
tal :—
His name was Kenyon, and he, as well as his
wife were natives of Ireland. He served an ap
prenticeship to a hair-dresser in Dublin,whence
he reinoved'to Liverpool, where he was a house
keeper for twelve year* and gained a settlement.
In 1805 ho came to London and subsequently
went out with tho expedition under LotH F.x
mouth. He returned home with l«ord Percy,
brother to the Duke of Northumberland, alter the
capt ure of Genoa: and after 11 years service was
discharged iinponsioned. He had several tes
timonials of character from Lord Percy and othors
He worked at several respectable houses in Lon
don, but a short time ago ruptured a blood vessel
in the head;- in consequence of which he was in
Guy’s Hospital, under the care of 8ir Astloy
Cooper,and subsequently of Mr. Ilransby Cooper,
for a year anil a half. When he was recovered
he found himself destitute of every thing, and
"lrugglod through the last six months with
famine and distress of tho moat appalling kind.
He had twelve children, five of whom are still a
burthen on him. He resides at No. 42, Turnmill
street, Clerkenwell, and applied to the parochial
authorities there, from whom he recievcd Is. ffd.
per week, but which was afforded him for only
a short period.
Aid. Garrat—Wsnld not the parish you lived
in pas* you to your settlement in Liverpool ?
“ They would, sir,” replied Kenyon ; “ but I
trusted in God that I would get out of my mise
ries ; and if possible, I woirld rather do any thing
than return as a pauper."
‘I respect your feelings on that subject ve
ry much,’ nbsetved the alderman, * but it would
be better to do that than perish.'
—
Mr Osborne, belonging to the Bridewell
Hospital, said that he recollected the female, in
consequence of hor having fallen down on Bride
street about four months ago1 from absolute ex
haustion. On that occasion Mr. O. gave her
something to eat, which recovered her.
* Yes, yes,' exclaimed tho prisoner,* l have
done every thing to support my children. I
have hawked about half dozen oranges, when I
could get them, but tho olHcers drove me out oi
tho streets, and said I was an impostor '
* And day after day have I * added the husband,
walked about from six in the morning until ten
at night without being able to earn a sixpence.
1 havo tried, to get a place as a porter ; I have tri
ed every thing, yet, Mary, all our sufferings were
nothing compared to appearing before our God
unsent tor.
The alderman asked him if his wife was sober.
She never drank a shilling since I met her,’
was tho reply.
‘You shall havo somo relief for the present,
said the alderman ; ‘but I advise you to apply to
the parish to remove you to Liverpool. 1 also rec
ommended you not to let her from your sight, for
•ho '8 evidently labouring under a state of cxcit
inent which renders it extremely dangerous to
leave her by herself.” The worthy alderman
then gave him f>s., to which 5s. more were given
from the box, to which were added the contri
butions of several gentlemen present ; and it is
sincerely to be hoped that the spirit of charity
which distinguishes tho British public, will be
extensively exerted on behalf these unfortunate
nate persons If ever thoro was a case for its exer
cise, this is it.
TRUE POLITENESS.
Politeness is a just medium between
formality and rudeness ; it is, in fact, good
nature regulated by quick discernment,
which proportions itself to every charac
ter ! it is a restraint laid by reason and be
nevolence on every irregularity of temper,
of appetite and passion. It accommodates
itself to the fanatic laws of custom &, fash
ion, as long as they are not inconsistent
with the higher obligations of virtue and
religion.
1 o give efficacy and grace to politeness,
it must be accompanied with some degree
of taste as well as delicacy ; and although
its.foundation must be rooted in the heart,
it is not perfect without a knowledge of
the world.
In society it is the happy medium which
blends the most discordant nature. It im
poses sueiice oil the loquacious, and in
clines the most reserved to furnish their
share of conversation ; it represses the des
picable, but common ambition of being
the most prominent character in the scene;
it increases the general desire of being mu
tually agreeable ; takes off the offensive
edge of raillery and gives delicacy to wit,
it preserves subordination, and reconciles
ease with propriety ; like other valuable
qualities, its value is best estimated when
it is absent.
No greatness can awe it into servility,
no intimacy can sink it into a coarse fa
miliarity ; to superiors, it is respectful Iree
dom ; to inferiors, it is unassuming <*ood
nature; to equals every thing that is charm
ing ; studying, anticipating and attending
to all things, yet at the same time, appa
rently disengaged and careless.
Such is true politeness; by people ofi
wrong heads and ur.worthy hearts disgrac
ed in its two extremes ; and by the gener- '
ality of mankind confined within the nar
row bounds of mere good bleeding, which
is only one branch of it.
MRS. ROY ALL.
The Circuit Court of Washington have taken
some pains to ascertain a proper species cf pun
ishment for a common scold. They conceded,
that ducking was quite obsolete in England, and
never was in force in this country; 1 that it is ft
barbarous and unusual punishment, and therefore
is prohibited by the hill of rights annexed to the
Constitution of Maryland, under whose supposed
common law this indictment is formed.’ They
then proceeded to investigate, whether there
was any form of punishment admissible under
' .T,lc7 ‘luote 1,8 pertinent to the case,
the following lroin Mucou s Jib. Tit. Nuisance ;
All common nuisances to the public are rtgu
luted by fine, and imprisonment at the. discretion
of the Judges; but in soldo cases corporal pun
ishment may be inflicted, as in the case of a
common scold, who is said to be properly punish
able by being put into a ducking stool, Ac.
They conclude that ducking is only a part of the
punishment under the common law; and if it
be not in force, there are other punishments yet
in store, for the discretion of the Court. They
were therefore of opinion, that although punish
ment by ducking may have become obsolete, yet,
that the offence still remains a common nuisance,
and, as such, is punishable by fine and imprison
ment like any other misdemeanors at common
law , and that thcreforo the motion in arrest of
judgment must be overruled.’
1 hey finally sentenced Mrs. Royall to pay a
fine to the U. Stales of $10, and give good secu
rity by rccocrnisanco with two sureties each in
the sum of $250, for her good behavior, for the
term of one year ; and to stand committed until
such security be given. Mrs. R. was in search
of two such suielies—thought it is scarcely to ho
anticipated thut tho ‘ ago of Chivalry is so far
exhausted,' ns to consign her ‘ to durance vile ’
for want of two securities.
[From Sermon* on War, by ihe Rev. Thomas T. Stone.]
A YOUTH PERISHING IN BATTUE.
F rom this retired sorrow let me direct your
eye to another scene, to calamity which no lan
guage can describe, over which no angel of mercy
hovers, and on which no balm of soothing pity de
scends. 1 know not the anguish of lacerated
limbs, of wounds from which the last blood is
gushing, of inirid left unconsolod in its passage
lroin the darkest spot on earth, to a clouded eter
nity. Yet in the multitude by whom all this is en
dured, we lose the power of individualizing their
distress, of bringing it to tho minute analysis
which is nccdlul to strong sensibility. Let us
take a single example. Here is a young man,
far from his early and bosom friends. On them
his last thoughts fixed, ere they wero lost in the
tumult of battle. Ho shall see them no more.
His wound is deep and intolerable. Perhaps
time cannot ho spared to remove him from the
ground which is wet with his blood, to bind up
tho wound, to alleviate its anguish. Hours
he must suffer alone. Tho battle ceases. Tho
conflicting armies retire. Crushed and man
gled by theii receding footseps, he groans through
a fovcrish night, with fio couch but the cold
earth, while tho wind, and tho dew,and the frost
fall, heaving and torturing his lacerated body.
Nor is tho distress of the body greater than the
mind, as recollections of parents, of wife and
children, of his own childhood, and of what, his
childhood loved, throng around his heart, and
tell him that all is over. Life is protraction of
agony ; and death, coming to hia relief, assumes
its saddest, guise. “The first wounded mnn I
ever beheld in ths field,” they are the words of
one who was present at tho battle of Burae o
“was carried past me at this moment ; he was a
fine young Englishman, in the Portuguese ser
vice, and lay helpless in a blanket, with both his
lega shattered by cannon shot. Fie looked pale,
and big drops of perspiration stood on his manly
forehead ; hot he spoke not—his agony appear
«d unutterable. I secretly wiahed him death ;
a mercy, I believe that was not very long with
held.” *
Remember that in every battle there are
I scenes like this, numerous as the slain and tho
j eeverely wounded. Each sufferer is mourned
| by a distant circle of affectionate, often depend
ent, relatives. Napoleon conducted to Russia
| jour hundred thousand inen. Not more titan a
hundred thousand ever reached their homos
* hree millions of the Fieneh people fell during
all his wais. As in his early campaigns he was
almost uniformly victorious, it may bo presum
ed that the armies against which ho fowght
were deprived of numbers nearly equal, perhaps
greater. Here were six millions slain by vio
lence. Each had friends, with whose happiness
his own life was deeply involved. By this entire
loss a serious i.iroad may have been made on
tho happiness ol'thirty millions. I»s depth might
be inferred from tho common griofof bereaved
parents, of tiie widowed mother and her orphan
children. Oh, no. This will not measure the
griof of the bereaved by war .- of those who
could not stand by the death-bed, aiui alleviate
the pangs and brighten tho hopes of the dying_
of those who could not follow the tiody to the
Stave,and mingle their tears over it with the
rops of evening dew."
Fine senso and exalted sense arc not hall so
uijclul as com mon sense. There are forty men
of wit for one man of sense.aud he that will carry
nothing about him hut gold, will be avery day at
a loss for ready change.—Pope.
