rnoiu Ttii.-'1 HARTFORD TIMES.

Charter 0uk.—t\Iuch having been said in
the Boston and New-York papers respecting
large trees, and a Gold Medal ofi_'ered for a
representation ofthe Large Elm in Boston,
we are induced to makea few remarks re-
specting an Oak tree which we have in this
city ; it goes by the name of the Charter Oak
-—so called, from the fact, that the Charter
ofthe Colony of Connecticut was deposited
under it for safe keeping, as will appear lroiit

‘the following extract from 'I‘rutiibull’sHistory

of Connecticut. -

“The Assembly met, as usual, lI'l October.
and the government C0iillmlP(I according to
charter", until the last ofthe rnontli. ‘About
this time, Sir Edmund Andross, with his suite
and more than sixty regular troops, came to
Hartford, when t'lie Assembly. were sitting-
deuiandt:-d the Charter, and declared the gov-
eriitiient under it to be dissolved. The As-
sembly were extremely reluctant and slow
with any respect to any resolve to surrender
the charter, or with respectto any motion to
britig it forth. .The tradition is, that Gov.
Treat strongly represented the greatexpeiise
and liardsltips of the colonists, in planting
the country; the blood and treasure which
they had expended in d-clending it, both a-
gairist the savages and foreigners; *0 “'h'="
hardsliips and dangers he himself had been
exposed for that purpose; and that it was
like giving up his life, now to surrender the
patent and privileges, so dearly bought, and
so long enjoyed. The important atiair was
debated and kept in stispeiise, until the eve
ning, when the charter was brought and laid
upon the table, where the assembly were sit-
ting. By this iirne. great iiutribers of people
were assembled, and -rnen sufficiently hold to

cnrerprise whatever might be necessary or ex-

pedient. The lights were instantly extin-
guished, and one Captain Wadsworth, in the
most silent and secret manner, carried offthe
charter, and secreted ititi a large hollow tree
fronting the house-of the Hon. Sarntiel Wyl-
lys, then oneofthe Magistrates ofthe colony.

, The people appeared all peaceable and or-
” derly. The candles were ofiiciously re-light-

ed ;. but the patent was gone, and nodiscove-
ry could be uiade ofit, or of the person who
had conveyed it away.” _
From the best information that-we can ob

tain, this Tree is no less than Four Hundred
years old; it is Twenty Eight feet in circum-

Terence near the ground, and at the height of

seven feet it is Seventeen feet in circumfer
ence; the llel;__'l1lll ofthe Tree, as near as can
be ascertained, is about Seventy feet ;-some
ofits branches extend nearly Forty feet.

A “ YANIIEE ’.l‘i-.icx.”-—The following an-

ecdote is strictly true; it is contained in a let-

ter from a young gentleman who latel_,v went
out in a vessel from the port of New York. I0‘
St. Thomas ;—-“ we were chased by _a piralr
off Kitig.’s channel, oti Sunday morning last,
March 13-the villain was close in tinder the
land, a small sloop, with about 25 men: when
he discovered us we were nearly becalined;
he gave chase and came dowir on us very last.

.I thought there was no cliance of escape but

bystratagem, and having on board a man who
I could itietariiorpliose into any thing, I ob-
served to Captain that we had better
'iri2.kc a gun ofBilly Ruly, and give him chase
in our turn. We accordingly went to_ w0I_‘l€-
put a black cap on Billy’s tread, stretch’(l him
fore and aft on the keel ofthe boat, will! =1
rope made fast to his heels so that we could
slew ltini on the centre of gravity free|_v'--
pointing his head to the ciieriiy. Having t'I_.‘i*
ged up a ‘ longtoru,’ the next thing it as to fire
it—aiid this we did by discharging a pistol
into a barrel, and raising a smoke by. throwing
ashes into‘ the air. The trick succeeded-.—the
sloop tacked and made off; we hauled on it
wind and pursued her close in under.ihe land,
then tacked ship and stood i-nto St. Tliotiias.

 

Thus were 25<inen driven by 4.—.N'or_/‘olk pa. ‘

HARRISBURG, April I6.
A riot ofa serious nature took place here
on T-liursday.af’tertiooii.' A negro man, who
hind alisconded from his master, residing in

,1

Maryland, abouta twelve month ago, was
claimed as a runaway slave, He wastaken
by his master and lodged in jail in this coiiuty
(07 security. When a liabeas corpus was issued,
at the instance ofthe slave, to show cause why
he should not be discharged from itiiprison-
merit. The cause came on for adjridicatiori
on Thursday afternoon, before his liotiotir
Judge Biicher. Proof ofthe black man hav-

and owned by the individual claiinitig , him,
and of his having absconded a short time be-
fore Easter Sunday a year, liavinglieen made
by a young man who came frorii Maryland for
that pitrpose‘ in company with the owner, the
coiiiisel for the claimant closed his case. On
the other side, a black iiiati was offered as a
witness to prove that the prisoner"‘"w'as resid-
ing in York county prior to the little when he

V was said to have left his master in Maryland,

and that he, tlig witness, worked with him_un-
der the eriiployof the same man,.a farmer, in
York coiinty, and knew him well. ‘ This evi-
dence was rebnlted by the testimony ofa bro-
ther-in-luw of the farmer, who happened to
be present, and who stated that he never saw
the prisoner in his employ, and that he would
in all probability, have been aware of the fact
if the runaway had worked for any length of
time with his brother-in-law. _

Upon this state of the case-, the Judge or-

up to the custody of the master. During the
whole time ofthe trial the Court House was
croivrled with blacks, who seemed to take a
deep interest in the discrtssioti, and the great-
er part of whom had each siibsci'ilted a quarter
of a dollar to fee an attorney to attend to the
case oftlieir brother black. _Tlie precaution
taken to secure the remanded slave froir_i es-
caping, by tying his hands in the presence of
so many of his own colour, was perhaps what
gave the finishing stroke to the excitrment o.f
the negroes. They collected in a cluster at
the door of the court house, and as soon as
the object oftheir sympathy stepped beyond
the threshold, accompanied by his iiiaster and
the young Marylander, who had been exam-
ined as a witness, ati attempt was tirade to
rescue the slave by force. Nunibers of blows
were given and received. The confiict in a
short tirite became general. The blacks ex-
ceeded their opponents in number. Fists,
ctidgels and biickhats flew about in handsome
style, fora few minutes, and the most serious
conseqtiences might have ensued if in thr-
midst ofthe melee the sttdden discharge ofa
pistol had not produced an electrifying effect
ripon the cornbatants.

All stopped to see where the mischiefhad
alighted, and such was the consternation pro-
duced for art instant among the blacks, that
one of them, tliotigli entirely out of the direc-
tion in which the pistol was fired, swore that
the bullet had passed just above his car, and
displaced some halfdozen ofthe sable curl-
rliat revelled on his temple. Advantage was
taken ofthe confusion that prevailed and the
slave was littrried into an adjoining t.ivern.—-
Ntitnbers ofpcrsons by this titne had collected
on the tlieatte of action. Many of thenc-
groes, however, still kept their ground in front
ofthe tavern, and among the rest a rnulatto
who had been wounded in the arm by the pis
iol fired. As they would notdisperse'quietly,
but seemed bent on miscliief, a iiriiiiber of
them were arrested and carried off to goal.——
A scanipering scene then cotnizienccd, which
lasted for a few hours, and etided in’ the
catching of I)r‘,lWee:iI'll"l'e€ll and twenty blacks,
who were safely placed ‘in durance vile,’ to
answer for their conduct at the ensuing term
of Quarter Sessi_ous.- Oracle.

INDIANAPOLIS, April 5.

Horrid 0'ulrage.-—-Oii l\_iond.iy, the 28th

ultimo, 'l‘lionras Jarrncs, 'ci ciiizeti of Putnziin
county, Indiana, while engaged in the per-
forniaiice of his ordinary vocations, it short
distance from his residence, was shot by Jas.
Robertson, one of his neighbours, who it ap-
pears had harbored for sometime personal
enmity against Mr. James, and some other
persons in the neiglthuurliootl.
It seems that Robertson, after having de-
terriiined in what manner to avenge himself,
transferred his real property, consisting of:3
eigh'_v acre lots, to 2 small boys. This prop-
erty was handsotnely situated, and on it he
might have llVt.‘(I in llap|)lneS.s—l)lI[ he had
determined on murdering James, and 2 other
men, and a woman. in the iieiglibortrliood.—
After having examined the respective resid-_
ences ofeacli, with the deterniination of unit-
tlering the wltole, he crept tip privately on
Mr.Jauies, and shot him; the ball passed
through his arrii abovcthe elbow joiitt, and
entered his body at the lower ribs-’—-the ball
lodged in his body. Mr. James ran and shout-
ed with all his power, which alarmed the per-
petrator so that he did" not atteiirpt to pursue
his intentions any further ; but returned ltotiic
zinmediatcly and told his wife that she must
go out on the farin. and prepare it for a‘ crop,
tot he did not intend ivoikirig any more liitn-
self; and after lbictrig her and family out, he
charged his gun, and tied a small cord to a
pin that held in the chiiiking of the wall of
ilie house, and to the trigger of the grin, and
placed the itiitzzle against his breast; their
drew the gun to-wards iris bosotn, and, by that
ineans'set it off, and prit an end to his exist-
ence ‘lira few minutes. His wife, hearing
ilie"sliot, returned to the house, and saw her
‘miserable liusband in thelast agoniesofdeiith,
who it appears had lost sight ofall social feel-
ring or moral obligation ; and became the ar-
biter of his own fate, to evade the justice of
the law. Mr. Jaiiies, who receivetl the ivonnd,
IS yet living, and if his intestines are not cut
‘with tlip ball, he may probably survive it.

’ BOSTON, April 93.

GREECE --ln the inotith of July last,
Mr. J. P. Miller, of Vermont, coutiiiuiiicated
toythe Greek Committee of Boston, his desire
to repair to Greece and engage in the milita-
ry service of that cotintry. Mr. Miller had
been a noiicomn-iissioned officer in the United
States’ arinv, during the late war anti after
its close. He had afterwards been a member
of Burlington College. Being very highly
recointnentled from various quarters to the
Committee, and personally krrowu to ‘one of
them, they determined to appropriate ‘d por
tioii of their ftirid toward fitting him out for
Greece ; supposing that, in this way, a stun
of lll()llt‘.y too small to be remitted to that
country, might be made to render essential
service to the cause. This was accordiu_gl_v
done ; and in the month of August last, Mr.
Miller sailed for the Mediterranean with tes-
timonials from the Greek Committee, and a
letter of introduction to Prince i‘davrocorda-
ios.-—-A letter has rccerrtly_beeu received from
him, containing an account of his reception
in Greece, togetlter with a letter from Prince
.VIavrdcordatos.' These letters are now pub-
lishcd, in the liclief that they may prove in-
teresting to the friends of Greece and the
coritniuuiiy at large.

'Genlltm’rcn——At'ier being detained at Malta
for lliiaI'l_V two inoutlis, I have at length, by
the blessing ofGorl,arrived safe at this. place.
I arrived at Zaitte, after a passage of 8 days
from Malta, and remained there but one day.
From Zante to hlissrilonglii, I had a passage
oftwo daysin a IISl'lll'IgJl)Oill. On my hrrival
l was cotidiicted to the seat of the prcviiifial
government of Missolonglii, which is held in
the satire house where Lord ‘Byron died. I
had learned Greek enough at Malta, to let
them know who I was; and the officers of
government sent for a Greek who could speak
a l-ttle Etiglislr. The officers, through this
man, expressed to tire the high sense uflion-
or they entertained for the American char-
octet‘, and bade rue welcome to Greece. At
3 o’clock dinner was announced, which to
me was very welcoriie, as I had eaten but little
for two days. We had dinner at the palace
of Prince Mavrocordatos.-—The palace is e-
qual in style to otir best log houses. The
dinner was good, and served tip in European
style. The Governor(Mavrocordatos) being
ill, it was not thought best to disturb li'ttn,‘a.-
his health is quite feeble, being slowly recov-
ering frotn a dangerous illness. I therefore
returned to the goveinineiit house, and lay
do.wn upon a cotich, after the fasliion of the
country. I had been lterc but a few minutes,
when I saw a soldier enter the door hastily.
He asked me if I was an American ; I air-
swered in the affirmative. He grasped my
hand in ecstacy, exclaiming at_ the same time
that he also had the honor to belong to that
cottntry ; that his name was George Jarvis ;—
that lie was a native of the state of NewYork,
and being at Bordeaux in 13222, thence, by
tlie approbation of his father, came via Mar-
seilles to Hydra, and engaged in the Greek
iiavy,iit their glorious struggle with theTurks.
He made 13 voyages with the Hydriots, and
since that time he has been employed in the

-army, with the rank of Licut. Colonel. He

has been in a number of engagements, and
has distinguished himselfas a brave ofl"1cer.—-
Froiii hitii I have learned much ofthe state
ofGreece. Their success against the Turks,
and the sacrifices which they have made this
year for their liberty, are great,er’tli.'tn any
recorded of Greece in the days ofher ancient
glory. Brit what nitist be the feelings of a
man, who looks \\-'ith a pliil‘antht'opic eye on
the scenes of iiiisforttiiie, to see soldiers who
have been figlitiug the _eiierny all summer,
now coming to their commander to beg brcao
to keep tlierii alive. Brit strcli is the sight to
which my eyes are every ltorir witness, as I
have taken lodgings with Colonel Jarvis.-
Tlie Europeans who have come to Greece
have all of them come witlrsoundiiig tit‘_'e
Most of them. I am inforiuetl, instead ofa 
sistiiig the Greelis,have only lived dpon therri
until reduced by poverty, sicliiresp, 8:. death;
and there now remain brit few‘of them in
G‘reece.——An officer here cannot’ expect any
thing train the goveriirnent of Greece, for it
has nothing to pay, even the soldiers of the
army; no-—not enough even to provide them
with bread. '

Yesterday I had an atidieiice with Maine-
cordatos. I was accompanied‘ to the place
by Col. Jarvis. The prince received me with
inuch politeness, and expressed his satisfac-
tion at the conduct of our government, iure
gard to _the interest it takes in the sufferirrgs
of Greece. He asked me many questions, in
i'efereit"ce toghe views whiclrwcre entertained
by the ‘Ariiieriearrs of the character of the
Greeks} To all his questions I endeavoured
to give as cyorrect aiiswers as-pos_silile,£_-r -I told
hirii that all the ex-ertions,-wliich the different
coniniittees were lflitlilllg in Afifier'ica-, were
for the liberty of Greece; and that it was my

ger. VVith this replyhe appeared to be well
pleased ; told me to-make myself acqtiaiuted
with the language as soon as possible; and
that I shotild have a statioti of some import-
ance in the army. While we were consulting
a Cotirier arrived with news of a recent vic-
tory, gained by sea, over the Turks. There
were two engagements. The first took place
about the 9th of November, between the Isl-
ands ofSamos and Nicaria; the second in
the cliaimel of Candizr, between Candia and
the Island of Case. The fleet of the Pacha
ofEgypt ltas been entirely defeated and (lis-
persed. Seven ships of war were bririied or
siiiik, and twelve transports taken; riiost of
which were untlcr European colo:s. On board
these transports were twelve hundred Egyp-
tian soldiers, all ofivlioiii fell into the hands
ofthe Greeks. This is the fifth decided on-
gagement, whicli hasterminated in favour of
the Greeks, this year, by sea. The Turks
have retired into their fortresses at Lepanfo
and Arta. Lt-narito isiahotit twenty riiiles, SI.
Aria about fifty from Missoloiiglti. I have
proposed to Col. Jarvis the sforming of the
fortress at Lepanto ; in wliicli expedition, ifit
is tiridertaken, I shall act as a volunteer. But
I fear that the want of bread will render the
plan abortive. Col. Jarvis .ettjoius it upon
tne to say to the various cornniittees, that tio
young man should be sent out or that none
ought to conre at their own charge, whose in
come is not, at least, equal 3200 per year, as
this is the least they cart live and clothe tlieiii-_
selves upon. He r"urther observesthat he has
never received from the Greek government a
single para, and that he has expended nearly
4000 dollars, which he has received fr. Europe
in the cause of Greece. If any young riteu
should come from America, let them come
well arrrir-id ;but as for clotlies,tliey nitist have
the Greek costume ; and tactics are all out of
the question here.

Tlrris, geniletiien, I have erirleavored to give
you all the irifor_matioii which I have been a-
ble to gather. As to, my own wants, Isliall
only add, tliirt I had sixty dollars on my arri-

and leave the gentlemen of the committee,
fr.wliour I have already rcc’d so many favors.
to act their pleasure concerning me. My
health is good. Ittm in the hands ofGod ;—
and by his blessing I hope to do yet iiit-icli for
Greece. Brit should it be otherwise, Iwish
to be content.

May, you, gentlt-men,and my beloved coun-

Let my friends in Verriioiit know‘ that Iain

Extract ofthe letter ofPrince Mavrocordzitos

to Edward Everett, Esq. Secretary of the

Greek Committee of Boston.

Sir, I have just received the letter which
you did me the itoiior to write me, under date
of August 1, 1824, to recommend your voting
countryman, Mr. J. P. Miller, and I hasten to
reply to it, ' in order to manifest how much I
am pleased with this circtimstance,wliicli pla-
ces me in correspondence with you.

You know Greece; but you kroiv it as op-
pressed by the Turkish yoke. Every thing
is now changed. We too, in imitation ofthe
Aint-ricans, have resolved to recover our lib-
erty and assume a place among civilized na-
tiotis. God grant that we maybe as fortit-
mate as you in the result. The success which
the~Greeks have obtained, both on land and
at sea, in the campaign just closed,itispires us
with confident hopcs';and there is now no one
as formerly, who will pretend to question our
indepeiitlence.

,As to Mr. Miller, you must feel no concern.
Your recoiiititeitdation will not be witltont ef
fect, - and be assured‘ I shall not forget it. I
dotibt not that he who has already fought a-
gainst the enemies ofliis otvti country,will be
useful to our cause.

The Emperor .flle.7:aiidei'.—-South ./Imcricct
and the Grce.’ts.—'l‘liei'e has been for some
time sufficient reason to suppose, that the em-
peror ofRussia is particularly displeased at
the recognition of South American Independ-
ence by Great Britain. The annexed corri-
riiuriication is extracted from a letter written
by a gentleman now in the north" of Europe,
who has many opportunities ofcollecting cor-
rcct iiitelligeitce. It is under date Feb. ‘27.

“ It is said that the Czar, our great comer-
ininoiis dr-spot, has shewu more humor on the
occasion ofthe British recognition of South
America, than any other metnher of the Holy
League, of which he is thepuissant head ;—-
atid it is believed that his irritation will be
apt to make itself scan, in the arrangement
ofthe affairs ofGreece which will be soon ta
ken in hand at Petersburg, and which the
Emperor seems determined to settle in his
own way. without respect to, orconsideratioii
with, England.‘ If England find fault with
his way, why tlieu this irritation may make it-
selffelt. These are tltc speculations at pres-
cut on the question, and its result which has
so iiitich interested and agitated on matikirid,
the question of South American Independ-
ence.”—-— Bull. Fed. _ Gaz.

 
 

From the Paris Journal Des Debals.Marclz%1.
The state-iifEurope is remarkable. A short
time ago, a word from England shook it to
its centre-tiow it is alarmed by the silence of
Russia. The alliance of Crowned heads,
which the. revolutions of Spain hail cemented,
seems to dissolve before those powerful oppo-
sing interests which follow subdued. te_V0l|l-
tions—-the independence‘ ofGreece, the rude
pendence of the Brazils, the independence of
all tlieworld. is the subject ofdebate in the
Councils ofKings, and may soon be contest-
-ed on the field ofbaitle. Ditfereiit interests,
and the different Powersseem, aftera truce
