‘on the 3d of April, 1815. General Gilly, with
his own hands, and before their own eyes.
took down the white flag at Nistues; though
it was dernonstrtitetl, that at the time the tri-
cnloured flag was raised, he was 15 league.:-
from Nismes, and that he did not arrive till :15
tlavs after the event. Before tribunals, thus.
g:ti‘l)l>llt‘(l, innocent-e had not even a chance
nfproteclion. General Gilly was too prudent
to appear, and w as condetnned to death on the
tliargc of contaniacy. When the General
quittcd Nisnies, ltc. tlrougln. either of passltrg
into a fmeigti country, or ofjoining the army
nfilre Noire, and it was long supposed that he
had actually e:'-coped. Eat it was impossible
tolaain any point, or find any set-.nrity ; his
only ltopc was in concealtnt--nt. The attempt
was desperate ; a friend found hit}; an asylum
in the cottage ofa peasant, but the peasant
was a I’t'otestnnt, and the general was a Cath-
olic. ‘ The step,’ says his friend, ‘ merits con-
sideration.’ Thc General (lid not ltesitute:
the peasant was poor. and his own life might
be sold at a great price; out he confided in
his honour. He entered the cottage ofa peas-
ant ofthe canton ofAuduzo. The name of
Perrier deserves to be recorded : he lives by
his (lazily labor, but he displayed virtues which
would adorn a throne.-—'l'fte fu,'-gitivc was wel-
comledz his name was not asked! It was a
time of proscriptiou : his host would know
nothing ofhitn: it was euottgh that he was
unfortunate and in danger‘. He was disguis-
tad ; and he passed for the cousin ofPerrier.
The General is naturally amiable, and be
made ftimselfagreeablc, sat; by the tire, ate
potatoes, and contented himself with misera-
b|e1’are_——I«‘nr several months he preserved
his retreat, though sub,ie:ct to frequent and
imminettt alatrms. Often he heard the visit-
ors of his host boast of having concealed gen-
eral Gilly, and of being acqttztititetl with the
place of his concealment. Putroles were
centinually searching for arms in the house
ofProtestants: often in the night the Getter-
al was obliged to leave his mattrass, and, half
naked, hide himself in the fields. Perrier, to
avoid these dangers and inconvenicncesnnade
an underground passage, by which his guest
might pass to an out-house constructed on the
premises. The wife of Perrier could not en-
dure that one who ltzttl seen better days,should
live,‘as her family, on bread and vegetables,
and she occasionally brought Intent to rcgale
the melancnoly stranger. These purchases
were so unusual, that they excited attention.
In at time of terror, danger is every where : it
was sttspected that Perrier had some one con-
cealed : nightly visits were more frequent.-
Iu this state of agony,he sometimes complain-
éd of the har_’dness of his lot.
Perrier one day returned frotn market in a
rneditutive mood, and, after some inquiries
from his anxious guest, he replied : ‘ Why do
you complain? you are fortunate, compared
,with the poor wretches whose beads were cri-
ed in the market; Bruguir, the pastor, at
£400 francs; Brcase, the Mayor, at: 92400
francs; and Gent-.ral Gill_y at 10,000.’
‘ Is it possible?’ ‘ Ah, it is certain.’ ‘ Gilly
concealed his emotion : a momentary suspi-
cion passed his mind : he appeared to reflect.
‘ l’et'rier,’ said he, ‘I am weary of life : you
are poor and want money : I know Gilly,and
the place ofltisconcealntenl: let us denounce
him"; I shall no doubt obtain my liberty, and
you‘ shall obtain the. 10,000 francs.’ The old
man stood speeclilcss, asifpetriftcd. I-Iisson,
a gigantic peasant, 27 years of age, wlto had
served in the army, rose from his chair, in
vvlticlt he had listened to the conversation, and
in’ a" tone not to be described, said, ‘Sir, hith-
erto we thought yott unfortunate, but honest;
we have respcctad your sorrow, and kept your
secret ; but since you are one ofthosewretcb-
edbeinas who would inform ofa fellow-crea-
lure, arid insure his death to save yourself",
there is the door; and ifyou do not retire,I
will throw you out ofthe window.’ Gilly hes-
itated; thepeasant insisted: the general wish-
ed to expl'aiu,~b,ut he was siezcd by the collar.
‘ Suppose I should be general Gilly,’ said the
fugitive. The soldier paused. ‘ And it is ev-
en so,’(he continued; denounce me, and the
10,000 francs are yoorsl’ The soldier threw
himselfon his neck; the family were dissol-
ved in tears‘: they kissed his hands, and his
clotliesl; protested that they would never
leave him, and that they would rather die than

THE ITALIAN BANDIT.
[if-I‘O1ll the notes qfu traveller in Italy.]
“The most astouislting bandit, whose ex-
ploits somewltat resemble the celebrated ones
ofthe famous Rinaldo Rinaldiui, was a priest,‘
named Cyro Anichiarico, born in a small
town ofGrotagli, on the road from Tarento to
Lccce. His first achievment was the murder
He had, at the time of his death been aban-
dit for more titan twenty years; and, from
‘his daring and succcss, the country people be-
lieved him to be a devil or magician, and scoff-
ed at the soldiers who were sent to pursue him.
W_ltett the French General Ottavio, a Corsi-
cart by birth, commanded in this province, a
man one day presented himself before him,
and said with a fierce air, ‘The bandit whom
you have so long hunted isrnotv before you,
not if he is molested, you will be assttssinatcd
before night fall.’ Anichiarico turned anti dis-
appeared, and fromthat time General Ottavio
doubtless bad faith in the belicfoftlie. people,
‘for the bandit was not taken, until he was pur-
sued by a body oftroops under G-en. Church.
When this General was one day in pursuit of
the banditti and their leader, he was accosted
by a peasant, who drew him aside and gave
him some intelligence concerning Anichiarico.
On the very nextday this peasant was found
dead in his village, with a paper pinned on his
breast with these terrible words inscribed--
.‘ This is the fate of all those who betray Ani-
cltiarico.’ The last band which this leader
commautled, was called the ‘decided ;’ each
man possessed a certificate, bearing 9. death’s
beads, with bloody emblems, and the. great
words of ‘justice, liberty or death,’ signed
‘ Auicltiarico.’ I saw one of the certificates
in Gen. Church’.-4 (J(t.<S£‘lSSl()n, which was writ-
ten with human blood. At last, in January
H310, this astonishing bandit, finding hitnself
beset on all points by the soldiers under the
command of the General, threw himselfat a-
bout sunset into an old tower, in the midst of
a fartn yard, near the small town of Casuba,
hoping, probably, that in the dead ofthe night
he should be able to escape through the sold-
iers, many of whom were his friends, and all
of wliom believed him to be the devil. But
in the course of one lit“-Ill‘ after it was perceiv-
ed that he had taken this position, a close line
of light troops was drawn round the tower, by
order ofthe General, outofreach ofmusket-
shot, :tnd after a siege of thirty-six hours, he
was forced to surrender himself and the rem-
nant ofhis band, having fired away all their
cartridges, and killed and wounded eleven of
the euetny. He wa carried to Trancavilla,
the scene of his first murder, and there shot.
[r was on a Sund:-t_v, when he was sentenced
to be executed, and Gen. Church sent to ask
the priest ofthe town, if it was according to
their religion to shoot a man on that (lay.
Their answer was, ‘the better day, the better
the deed.’ Anichiarico died like a madman.
From eight to ten thousand persons were as-
sembled to see. him shot; and to the last mo-
meut, they actually treated with scorn the no-
tion tlt'.‘it,l)t1llt:ts would pierce such a man.”
7'lze Chinese.-—Tltc manners, policy and

them. ‘We are, lmwever, in a fair way to be-
come more acrptaintetl with the country, since.

quarter of the world. The Chinese have pre-
served the same fortn of government for a
greater length oftime than any other nation,
end so self-satisfictl are they, that they regard
the rest of the world with the deepest con-
tempt. They ltavebt-eti acquainted with print-
ing and gunpowder for many ages, and they
are unrivalled in sortie ofthe arts. The spoken
language and writtt-;n language have not the
least relation to each other. The former is
composed entirely of words of one syllable,
-and of an indistinct pron'unciation, which are
made to express a great variety of ideas by
the most slight and snbtil inflections. The
latter isnot formed of letters, like those of
other nations; but the simplest elements to
which it is possible to reduce it, are themselves
the signs of ideas, and by composition are
made to afford a rich and copious language.
All these symbols, simple and compound,
have proper names, formed without any refcr- '
ence whatever to the objects or ideas they ex-
press, so that a person acquainted with the
spoken language "only, even ifhe were :1 Chi-
nese, would not under.~:tand a single word
from any one reading in a book.
Sketch. of./F1111: Lce.—Ann Lee, the leader
of the Shakers, was born in Manchester about
the year 1755, and became the wife of Abra-
ham Stanley, a blacksmith, who proved un-
kind and intemperate. Having been peculiar-
ly unfortunate in the loss of eight infants, ow-
ingprinclpally to very severe personal suffer-
ings, during a dan,<_{erotts crisis, which, at last,
had nearly proved fatal, she renounced mar-
riage, declaring it to have been the great ori-
ginal sin,‘and thus became the leader of the
Shakers. They had before practised marriage,
but from this titne,(t771,-) they renounced it.
Ann Lee, (now called Mother Ann, because
she was considered as the Spiritual’ Mother of
her disciples,) claimed the gift of languages,
oflt<:aling, of discovering the secrets of the
heart, of being actuated by the invisible pow-
er of Gotl, ofsinless perfection, and ofitnme-
diate revelations. Nlr. Brown says, however,
"of Mother Ann, that she sometimes drank
spirituous liquors to intoxication, pronounc-
ing them as‘ one of God’s good creatures-

‘ed the true friends of religion from theletbar-’
gy into wliich tlieyyhad filllenlon the subject;
‘cations throhglfout the dountry taking a bold
‘stand against it. This is as it should be.—-—-
Hor’se-racingsltould be tliscountenanced by
every one who wishes to see social order and
oppose and dis‘cot'trage it.
From the rernarks which the late race ‘on
L. I. has given rise to,we select the following:
‘A circ‘umstan'c'e connecmd with these sports
is the unnecessary expense of time andicul-
tore, bestowed by their owners or others, up-
on race-ltorse.s.
the fact, should be apprizcd, that. the care and
training necessary to prepare them for the
turf, are immense ; out of all proportion tothe
expense which any parent would think of be-
stowing upon a beloved child. Now we ask,
can this expense oftime be justified upon the
principles ofour holy religion? Are we not all
the ‘servants of a master who justly recptires,
that “whether we eat or drink, or whatsoever
we do, we do all to his glory?” Are we not all
stewards of the Lord’s bounty, and in duty
bound to support, with our funds as well as
by our approbation, those benevolent institu-
tions which are the glory ofthe age, and the
most promising meaus_ of meliorating the cir-
cumstances of suffering lmtnanity?
Another dark feature in the influence ofthis
sort of sports, is the countenance which they
afford to a species of gaming. Oftlris char-
acter, are the numerous and tlestrnzrtive wa-
gers to which they give rise. The sums bet
at the last races greatly exceeded those of for-
mer years. Astbe mania for horse-,rac':ng in-
creases, thc inclination to stake the largest
sums will increase; until many of out'sports-
men, to say the least, will calculate upon ob-
taining their livelihood in almost no other
wa ' ; and a spirit of dissipation be promoted,
such as nearly beggars a large proportion of
the nobility of other lands. Many rt zealous
sportstnun will lose his all. Many a ft-nnily of
ed of their reasonable expectations, and be
flung, pcnuylcss, upon the community. ’I‘he.re
is no need to trace the influence ofthis spirit
in all its results. They are “ legion,” and in
cbttracter, scarcely less infernal than the dark
brotherhood who once claimed for themselves
this appellation.
But, waving further particulars, :1 single
glance at the general aspect ofthe multitudes
that crowd the field, would be quite sutiicient
to evince the immoral influence. It is an as-
semblage of sportsmen and jockeys, of the
sons ofidleness and pleasure, of merchants
and their clerks, mechanics and their appren-
tices, of the wealthy and the indigent, ofthe
polite and the rude, of male and female, white
and dark, drawn from the North and from the
South, the country and the city, and from ev-
ery street——mingled forfivc successive days in
one mighty assimilating concourse. Is it dir‘li—
cult to calculate the moral influence of such
an ttssetnblage upon the young and unwary ?
ls it difficult to understand how the facilities
to every open, as well as sccret vice, will here
be multiplied? lV'ho among us is, at this mo-
ment, ignorantof the acknowledged influence
ofthese vcry sports upon the morals of ot_tr
mother country? There is scarcely a deeper
stain upon her reptttatiun, than the existence
ofthis bane other public morals. The races
in England supply, in this respect, a proper
offset to the bull-baiting of her Spanish neigh-
bors; and the impartial historian will, hereaf-
ter, place them both upon the same level.-—
May a greater respect for ourselves as men,
and a more correct public taste, ifnot the pos-
session of a sounder morality, preserve this fa-
vored rcpttblicfrotn so lasting a disgrace.’
(JV. Y. Clu-istimt. 1'1 eruld.
The editor ‘of the Boston Recorder, after
calculating the amount of time arid money
thrown atvay, and the depravation of morals,
breaks forth in the following language 1--
‘ Here then, in :1 single day-—on one little
spot, was more expended to uphold the king-
dom of darkness, autl confirm the voluntary
bondage of men to Satan, than can be collect-
ed from all the bcucvolcncc of the U. States

A correspondent of the Family Visitor
takes up the subject in a different manuer,and
under the title of‘ Moclern ldricizcls/t.ip’ bitter-
ly complains that amidst all his‘ troubles and
trials he never could find one friend who was
willing to brake any sacrifices for his assist-
ance—and, until the late race, he had serious-
ly doubted whether there was any such thing
in the world as true friendship. Now all his
loubts are removed—he is fully convinced
that true :tn_d ardmt fl'lt-slttlslllp does exist in
the human l)t'east,—aittl explains the change
in his views and feelings as follows :->-
‘ In tnzmyoft.heNewspnpers—-leading prints

in this case, the sincerity and ardour ofthe-se

that the successful friends, on this occasion,
should erect a monument on the Long island‘

it ought to be surmounted by a bronze statue

low me farther to suggest that the "toasts
drank in honor ofthe horses, with the names
of the zealous friends who gave them, should
be recorded on the most durable materials, as
an example to future generations. And if I
may add one other idea, I would humbly pro-
pose that the shoes with the nails worn by
these most noble and magnanimous horses,
should be distributed among tltei:-most distin-

Eclipse and Henry shed their manes and tails,
I really think that the hair ought to be given

N.t'rtoN.A.I. CoUn'rr:sY.—Acts of courtesy
from the government of a nation to individ-
uals ofanother, though not, perhaps, ofdirect
or )()SlllVC political importance, may yet e-
vince notonly good feeling, but sound policy,
and be well calculated to influence weighticr
relations, placing a firm seal upon the bond of
amity between neigltbotiring States.
A recent occurrence, which we are about
to communicate, has suggested the foregoing
observation. '
\Ve understand,tltat on his visit to this cotto-
try, Colonel Brooks Young, of the Colombian
service, was charged among other matters,
with the care oflhree sons of General Paez,
for the purpose ofplacing them in such emin-
ent seminary as on examination he might se-
lect for the purpose. ’ When introduced to
General Scott, gat N. York, Colonel Young
stated to him his object in this respect, and re-
quested his advice in what so materially con-
cerned the future character and fame ofthese
three interesting boys. It immediately occur-
red to the General, that any possible obstacle
to their admission into the national establish-
ment at West Point might be surmounted, and
with feelings highly creditable to him as an of-
ficer and a man, be promptly wrote to govern-
ment on the subject. The answer was such
as had been hoped for-the President saying,
“that any obstacle to the admission "of the
young gentlemen, he could with propriety re-
move, should be removed, and that he felt
gratified in having it in his power to manifest
at once his respect for so (llsllllglllrlletl an offi-
cer as General Paez, and his anxiety to draw
close the ties of friendship between Colombia
and the United States.” A similar answer
was received from the gentlemen at the head
of West Point establishment, and thus the
boys have been admitted into this eminent in-
stitution. General Scott, to render his servi-
ces of friendship complete, has become their
guardian during the course oftbcir education;
and his lady, not to be excelled in kindness
on the occasion, has invited the young ?aez’
to pass their vacations in her family. Vile
doubt not but all this will be fully t_1ppreciaterl
by General I’ae,f.-t, his brother soldiers, and fol-
low citizens.—13all. flmerican.

flfr. Bencdirl,--Perusing the Norwalk Ga-
zette, whole N . 2267-, June 10th, and perceiv-
ing a piece respecting the production ofoue
penny, at compound interest, from the birth of
Christ to the year 1786, and you making it
no more than 200,991 quiutrillions ofpottuds
sterling; only 110 millions ofour earth in sol-
id gnld, and at simple interest 73 6d, [was
much surprised. You cast the compound in-
terest on one mill for the time you rnentlonetl,
and you will find that onlyoue mill will amount
(instead of 290,991 quintrillions,)_ to 871,369
duodécillions of pounds sterling; at simple
interest- only 3s 4d, and would make ofour
earth, (instead of 110 millions) 362,476 unde-
cillions in solid gold: .
