More of the .Mtt;n,clit”1zt3eu.’—I‘ri the 5th ar-
ticle ofthe last iitii‘nbe'r ‘of “ the Quart-.-rly,”
the author of_ “ 'John.Bnll in Ariieiica” may
find ample mat,e‘rials for an additi'onal ‘chap-
ter to his well rlirecied satire. It contains a
. ’1’%vi'ew of Huiiter’s-b’Ictnolrs,aht}_of “ Sketch-
es ofthe history. manners, and ‘customs of the
_.No'i_th American Indians: by Janies Buchan-
*l'.'la Est]. his Majesty’s Consul for the state of
ew York.”
_ _It may be premised, that the leading ob-
ject of this article appears to be, to elevate
- the character ofthe aborigines ofiN.America,
for the purpose ‘of digiiifyiiig the alliance be-
“"'et5" ‘he'll and Great Britain,in the late war
with the United States. The success of the
British agents, conjointly with the eloquence
of Tecumseh, in surrirrroriirig them from their
retrcats in the wildern'es's and arraying them
in hostility to this country, is not only justificd
but boasted of’ in the most insulting manner.
Contrary to the former theories of European
philosophers, that the soil and climate of A-
inerica are incapable of producing a race of
beings, equal in mind and body to the more
favored inhabitants ofthe old world, his Ma-
jcsty’s allies are by this writer endned with
sripe.r-liunian virtues; and the rirost extrava-
gant eulogies are passed upon their military
achievmenis, at the expense of their Anglo
American neighbours, who are represented
as not less savage, but much less braverand
skilful in war.
For some reasons, Mr. Hrinter’s book has
found favor in the sight ofthe Quarterly, and
is treated with a spirit of liberality tlno’ont
the article. But the uielanclioly fate of other
writers, who have ventured totoricli upon the
stibjcct oi the North American Indians, may
be learned front a few extracts. “ Merely
observing by the way,"says'tlie writer at page
77, “that America bids fair to produce a \-'ery
sapient order of antiquaries, we shall not stop
to dispute the old opinion ado]-ted Adair and
Dr. Boudinot, that the Indians are the dos-
cendants of the long lost tribes of Israel ;—
neitlrer shall we examine what Mr. Briclian~
an, the compiler ofone of the colonies before
us, is facetiorisly pleased to call "A9-_,.._tlie sub-
lime liypotlicsisi’ of Goveriior De Witt Clin-
Y.()'l'I":4,.’ ~
The nariations of “ traders-—nsually the
tii'o’st_ign0raiit, and depraved, and dishonest_
part of the transatlantic white population ;”~
as also of “ well meaning, but illiterate, sim-
ple'mis§ionaries,” are dcspatclred at a single
dash of the pen——followed by a regret, that
“ educated Englishmen could be very rarely
thrown into contact with tliem,” (the Indians)
tintil the late war afforded an opportunity of
observing “ the heroic and desperate spirit,
which animated them against their American
oppressors.”
Mr. Buchanan and his small scouting party
are next lomahawlred and scalped by this wri-
ter, in the following summary manner:
“ Vllith respect to the other voltinie before
us, that of hit. Buchanan, we shall dismiss it
with very few words. The author is himself
absolutely without any qualifications whatev-
er for the task he has undertaken. I-Iis ac-
quaintance with the Indians, so far as we can
gather from his own account, has been confi-
ned toa casrial meeting with some stragglers
from the debased and degraded remnants of
tribcs,who dwell in the cultivated country ; $7.
Iie'has travelled over parts of Can'ada’and the
U. S. merely as a thousand other common-
place people have done before him. The lit-
erary composition‘ of his volume is below crit-
' icism, autl,_altogetlier,- its only value consists
in copious extracts which it offer'sl'ro‘rii an in-
tei'e"sti'iig account of the Indian nations by
John Ileckwelder, a 3'Ioravi-an missionary,
who has passed the greater portion of a long
life among them. The work of Heckwelder,
which was written by the desire ofthe Histor-
ical Society ofPliiladelphia exists only in the
transactions of that body,aud is therefore new
to the British public.
“Mr.Buclianari has unceremoniously trans-
planted whole chapters of the good old mis-
sirSnary’s labors into his own volume. and this
is our only reason for noticing it. The coni-
piler’s other assistants are a Dr. Jarvis, of N.
York, wlie has furnished him with a paper,
lialfessay, halfsermori,botli bad oftlieir kind,
‘ on the religion ofthe Indians; and a Mr. Pe-
ter Duponceau, of Philadelpliia, who has ad-
ded a dissertation on the languages of the
tribes, so profound and abtiuse, that we are
reduced to confess our utter inability to corri-
prehend any part of it.” !!
This is certainly a bloody massacre,seldoin
equalled in the annals ofsat-age warfare.—--
Three out of four are killed, and probably the
only reason for sparing “ the good old mis-
sionary” was no o'lrer, than that he was al-
ready dead. We are not acquainted with the
merits of Mr. Buchanan’s book ; but it must
be evident to the most cursory reader, that
willi a periodical which could discover beati-
ties in the pages of Fearon and Fanx, mere
literary delinquencies could never have called
forth the pointed and bitter sarcasms, aimed
at the British Consul in this article. It is not
improbable, that he may have manifesttd too
much liberality towards the United State.s,and
. too strongan anxiety for a cordial reconcilia-
tion betwecn “ Mother and Dauglrter.” In‘-
dced, this cause of hostility is disclosed in a
note to one ofthe last pages of the review, in
which a sneer is cast at Mr.Bnclianan for say-
ing in his book, that “the kindness and civil-
ity which he has experienced from all ranks
in the U. States, he shall ever be ready to ac-
knowledge.” Hmc illzc laclrrynizc.
In speaking of the debasernent and degre-
dation oflliul portion of the aborigines, who
have had the misfortrine to be exposed to the
examples ofthe angio Aiiiericans, the review-
er reniarks :,—“'I‘lie coirstairt supply ofardent
spirits, which the Indians obtain from the cu-
pidity ofthe traders, is the living fountain of
their depravity ; and the manners of the set-
tlers ofthe western states have corrupted and
destroyed them like a pestilence. We affirrn
without fear of contradiction or oferror, that
there is not to be foriiid on theface oftheglobe
a race of men so entirely abandoned to vice
and criu,re—-so devoid of all fear of God and
regard towards tnan,2rs the out settlers of Ken-
tricky, Ohio, and the other back states.” 1 !
At page 100th, the reviewer informs his‘
readers, that “ a watchful care, 8:. a fortunate
degree of influence, over our Indian allies
_ prevented the infliction ofsucl_i (sbvuge) enor-
inities in the Canadian war ;” and on the fol-
lowing page the writer says, “it is‘ not riece_s-
sary to prove in this place,fortlie fifiietli time,
that our (the Br-itlslr) cause was common with
' that of the Indian nations.”
We are
($1
the iiiotle of warfare of the Indians was fero-
cious, that of the enemy with whom we had
to contend was equally so. Every man who
has served in that country can,,attest the fact,
that the Kentuckians invariably carry the
tomahawk and scalping knife into action, and
are dex't‘eroiisin'using them. It is well an-.
thenticated, thatthe lirst scalp taken in the
late war, was torn from the head of a lifeless
Indian, by the teeth ‘of a Captain in the A-
merican service; This wretcli, whose, name
was M’Cnlloch, was killed in a skirmish on
the 5th ol'August, 1812, and in his pocket was
found. a letter to his wife, boasting that do the
Hub day ofthe preceding month, a few days
after the opening of the war, when an Indian
lia‘d been killed on the river Conard and ‘was
found scalped, be had performed the exploit.
It surely would have been a despicable sub-
mission to the mawkish sensibility of out put-
riots, to have rejected the co-operation ofthe
Indians in repelling an etictriy, who a't_ least
equalled them in . their most blood-tliirsty
qualities." ! ll
WlIll0u_l detaining the reader by any com.-
rnents on the foregoing extract, (for surely it
needs none,) we hasten to relate an anecdote.
which occurred on the‘ same rivcr Cunard, in
the first month ofthe war, and which rcdu"ces
to practice more than Captain Bobadil’.<t the-
ory in defeating‘ an army, Passing over the
long and highly roinaritic preamble, the story
is briefly tbis:—-—“ One rnorning, a small pi-
quet of twelve or forirtecu. Ainericans were
sent forward to the river to recoiinoilre, and
were observed in their advance by :1 single Iri-
dian, who lay concealc'd among the rushes.
He marked out one of the party, fired, and_
killed li'in‘i'. Wliile the sni'o'ke of his rifle was
dissipating. he had already crept round to the
rear ofthe piquet, who had just time to potir
‘a volley into the’ spot which he had quitted;
when a second shot, from behind them, bro’t
another of their companions to the earth.-
The fire of the party was ineffectually repea-
ted, and immediately followed by a third littl-
let, as deadly as the two first, from air oppo-
site quarter. Their , believing themselves sur-
ronnded,and panic struck at the unerring dis-
charge oftlieir enerny,the party precipitately
retreated, and lcftthe field to the Indian ! ll”
After this, let no one laugh at_the story of
-honest Pat, who lioastcd of having all alone
by himself captured his encniy—-by surround-
ing him.
Since the foregoing article was written, it
has afforded its great pleasure to learn from a
paragraph in the Portsmouth Journal, pub-
lished in one of our late papers, that Mr. Gif-
ford, u he has long been the presiding genius
ofthe Q_uarterly Review, is about to retire, $3.
that the frnure numbers of that work will be
cliaracterised by more liberal,m' rallier by less
hostile feelings towards the United States.

ritoru THE NATIONAL GAZETTE.
The National Iiitelligeiiccr of Saturday
contains a long article, entitled ‘Piracy ofthe
West Indies,’ and consisting ofa series ofob-
servatioiis, which, as the Iutelligencer states,
are from the pen ofa member of Congress
who possessed ‘more than risiial facility of
access to the sources of information on the
snbjcct.’ The member traces the following
history ofthe system of piracy.
“ The first piracies were committed by men
ofdesperate fortune and abandoned ch-.rrac-
ter, who were discharged from the privateers
of all nations at the close ofthe last war, and
by the crews of vessels formerly engaged in
the slave trade, and the descrters from the
Spanish Navy. At first these marauders con-
tented tlicrnselvcs with plundering the vessels
that fell into their hands: nor was it until
some ofthe pirates weretaken and punished,
nor riritil frequent captures of Spanish ships
had been made by the privatcers of Colombia
and Bueiios Ayres, that they began to mur-
der and destroy. They were induced to do
so by the crews of such Spanisli vessels as
had been captured by the Patriots, and who
had been cast ashore entirely destitute upon
the coast of Cuba. These men looked upon
the Americans and English as the principal
cause of their disasters; and they mu"dei"ed
the crews ofthe vessels that fell into their
power, not only to conceal their crimes, btit
to revenge their wrongs. Up to this period,
the piracies ofCuba were not distiriguislied
from ordinary cases of piracy. They were
perpetrated by mariners who were not cori-
nected with the inhabitants ofthe Island.-
But the losses sustained by the Spanish mer-
cliants, stimulated them to liarrass the coin-
rncrce of those whom they regarded as their
personal enemies and the enerriies of Spain.
The inerchants too, who had formerly been
engaged in the slave trade, and who had been
deprived of that lucrative urriuch of corn-
merce, encouraged piracy. They called it
privateering ; and money was invested on
shares in such expeditions as it is with us in
East India voyages.”
“ The sriccess of these expeditions, and the
impunity of those who conducted them, soon
increased the numbers ofthe pirates. They
were joined by the lisliermen, and that class
of people who are employed in niaking char-
coal along the coast of Cuba, anti by the rab-
ble of the cities,as well as by person sofbiglier
rank. A piratical vessel captured by one of
our cruisers, was comuiandcd by a main who
kept a hotel in Principe, and who confessed
that be had been tempted by seeing the pll"Ile5
so often return laden witlr plunder. He tlio’t
that he too would try his chance. This was
his first cruise ;- and be was taken after hav-
_ing Cd[)lll|'6tI a French vessel. A regular sys-
tcm was now orgariized. The pirates consti-
gravely told at pngeyibfi, llitit “ ifj
\
rtiaiiés, ofthe existence of wlrfrclr, he more
doubt-is 'e'n'tettain-ed in Cuba, than in the U.
Statesof Colonization or Bible Societies.—e-
The-initiated are known to each other by
signs, as free lnasons aré. .Magistrates are
suborned to protect them ; custom house offi-
cers'are bribed to assist them in the disposal
of their plunder ;,and the higher authorities
either profit by their connivance, or are com-
pelled to be quiet spectators oftliese infamous
proceedings. The pirates of Cuba are not,
tlierefore, to be regarded asordinary pirates;
mritineers who, having taken possession of a
ship, commit depredations indiscriminately
upon the commerce ofevery nation. They
are an organized band ofrobbers and assas-
sins, nliiiierons in tlietnselves, and leagued
with wealthy and powerful men.”

by the present government of the island or by
our crtiizers. .

in the price of cotton, as well as in other ar-

fected at Liverpool on the 2d ult. at 16 1-4

still further, and declare, that ifI considered
the interests of the Cluncli Estalilislnnent

that we should remain as we are, than pro-

these concessions are compatible with the
perfect safety ofour Church Establislirnent,

by works ofhigh poetical and scientific merit.
She was one ofthe daughters of the late em-
inent and respectable Mr. Porden, the archi-
tect. Her poem,entitled The Veils, has been
justly admired for genius, learning, and the
beautiful union ofpoetry with chymical and
geologic knowledge, by which it is character-
ised, as well as by other works of a similar
description, and many effusions of wit and hu-
mour. But ease, politeness and good humor
adorned her personal character, and a total
exemption from every appearancer of literary
ostentation. She was in the prime oflife,
and it was iriipbssible for her to have met with
a partner more suitable to her habits and dis-
position than the many virtues, scientific at-
tainments, antl gentlemanly qualities ofCapt.
Franklin. The separation which took place
on the 14th lost. when the Captain left town
on the Northern Expedition, was of so affect-
ing a nature as to threaten the melancholy e-
vent which lias so unfortunately occurred.-—

able I9-‘5'hi1nl0 New-York; and that should
a canal be constructed from Troy to Boston,
the Western mergchants and others interested,
would prefer sending their produce to the lat-
ter place, as they would tlicreby save the ex-
pense aud delay occasioned by nnlading the
boats at their entrance into the ‘Hudson,-
which in order to proceed New York must
necessarily be done, as the canal boats are
not suitable for navigation on large rivers.-—-‘
Tliis writer estimates the expense at frotn two
to three‘ millions of dollars, and Iias no doubt
ofthe practicability of the measure. Should
this project be carried into effect, and the O-
hio Canal, (for which an act ofincorporatioit.
has already been granted) be completed, a.
water communication will be opened through
the interior of otir country from Boston to the
Mississippi River, which like a chain, will
bind the several states tlirougli’wliich it pass-
es, in an indissoluble union.—Boston Slates.

which could demonstrate the joy which his
presetice occasioned. '
