to the l5ili ult. -{l"ft.’l1‘t_!j thousand bales of cot-
ton were-iiiiported i-nio Liverpool-on the Iltlt
tilt. The British Parliament was prorogllefl
on the 6th. His Majesty expressed in his
speech his satisfaction for the supplies which
Parliament had granted him for the service
ofthe present year ;’ for the reduction they
had been able to make in the burdens of his
people; and for the incasiirestakeii to extend-
the commerce ofthe nation by “*8 “3"'°‘’3I_ 0‘
unnecessary restrictions, and the relaxation
of the colonial s stem.

The Paris pagers of July I4, announce, in
leans “.0”, Italy as late as the .‘3d, that ii sig-
nal victory had been gained by the Greeks o-
ver three divisions of the '1‘iirkrsli Army, who
had advanced upon the Peninsula. The first
division was destroyed near Ambliaui, by
Gen. Gouras, the cuuiiiiander in Chief, who
perished in the battle. The second division
was besieged in the fortress of Saloiie, and the
t_hii-d, after having been beaten, had dispersed
and fled towards Negropunl.

The reports respecting the situation ofI-
braliim-Pacha, were coiitratlictory-—somc sta-
ting that he was surrourided by the Greeks at
Messerie-—otliers that he Iltld been defeated
by C'olocotroni,and forced to retrace his steps

‘The last advices. from Egypt stated that the
Locusts were iiiakiiig friglitful ravages in that
country.

It is said Lord Cocbrane intends to proceed
to the assisiaiice u the Greeks.

°PORTER’S TRIAL.—Tlie lVashiugton
correspoiideiit ofthe Coin. Adv. under date
ofAug. 19,, writes as follows:
The Court Martial was occupied all yester-
day in secret session. All that is known of
their proceedings is, that Mr. Jones, the coun-
sel of-Commodore Porter, having neglected
to furnish his defence in writing within the
allotted time, the sentence ofthe Court, with
the accompanying documents, was trziusiiiit-
ted to the President, either without the de-
fence,or with an incomplete copy ofit. This
has occasioned the papers to be sent back as
imperfect, and Mr. Jones has been required
to furnish the residue. ofthe defence this day.
The fact is, that that gentleman, (who, though
a lawyer of acknowledged ability and the
highest standing, is said to be constitutioiially
‘indolent, and, by the nature of his practice,
out ofthe habit ofcoinniitting his argiiuients
to pape.r,) when he appeared to defend his
client, had in hfshaiid a MS, which cnntaiti-
ed only the heads tfifis plea, and from which
though he appeared to read the whole of what
he delivered, it was,~in trtitli, not read, but or-
ally delivered in extcmporatieuus language.-
This argument was reported for the papers ;
but when called upon to deliver into Court
the defence he had presented, he had to write
it anew; and such were the delays in doing
-tliis, that the patience ofthe Court was ex-
hausted, and they proceeded tojudgment, al-
though the wliole ofthe MS. was not handed
in. Nor can they bejustly accused ofpre-
cipitaricy ; for although the defence was coni-
pleted on Mniiday, they waited till Saturday
before they proceeded—adjourning iii the
mean time from day to day, to indulge the
dilatory Coiinscl, whose production ought to
have been complete when first delivered.

Tlie above statement is fully confirmed by
the following extract from the record of the
court, which appeared in the National Jour-
tial of August 18th.

Titesday, flugust 9.—-The Court met, pur-

suaiit to the adjournment. '[‘Iie dcfeiice not
having been transmitted, the Court came to
the following resolution :—Resolvetl, by the
Court, That this Court has felt, and exhibit-
-ed a disposition, during the progress of this
trial, to allow every indulgence to the accused
which the most cautious regard to his feelings
:intl"wislies could dictate: That, with this dis-
position,'delays and a course of practice have
-been submitted to in which the Court has re-
luctantly acquiesced‘: That arguiiients, in-
-stead of being prepared, when offered to the
Court, in such a state as to be annexed to the
-record, have‘, after an ample allowance of
time, « been delivered orally, and an equal
length oftiine afterwards consuinetl in coni-
-initting the same to writing: That, in regard
to the Defence, after having waited for an uti-
usual period oftiine, it was, in fact, delivered
¢to'the Court orally, and as a written doctr-
inent, it has not been presented to the Court
this third day after its public delivery: The
Court feels constrained to notice this conduct,
which it cannot pass over without an expres-
‘sion'ofits disapprobation, and has déterininerl
that unless the paper is ready by the meeting
ofthe Court to iiiorrow, the Court will pro-
ceed tojudgment without it. _

[The defence not being ready the next day
the Cotirtproceeded to make up their opinion.
‘On _Saturday, after the opinion had been
ira‘ns'iiiitted to the -Navy Depaitiiiellli the
writtén defence was received and read, and it
being found materially to rlifiier from that
which was delivered orally, especially in the
severity with which it aiiiniadverted upon the
'co‘ndu‘ct of "the Judge Advocate, the Court
’eii‘tei-ed.’i‘ipo'ri its record a notice ofthe Sante-
aiid stating that in their opinion the conduct
ofthe Judge Advocate was free from the ceri-
sure imputed to it.]

Trial qfLt. Whillac/£.——On Monday, l5tli,
Lieut. tvniiluck was placed on trial on the
cliarge of neglect ofduty, preferred by Lietit.
Oellei-s, Commandant ofthe sclir. Jackal].-
Tlie specifications alleged that on four differ-
ent occasions, Lt. Whillock, acting as first
Lieutenant of the Jackall, was found asleep
on his watch, and in three iiistarices where
‘the vessel was in a daiigerous situation. The
trial was concluded on Wednesday, and re-
sulted in-the suspension of Lt. W. for 2 years,
without pay or eiiioliitiieiits. ,

, Trial ofLt.-Hu'nt'er.—'-On Tuesday, 16th,
Lt. Hiiiiter was placed on trial on at charge
preferred by Com. Stewart, of neglect ofdu-
ry-. The specification alleged that the accu-
sod in 1892, while First Lieutenant of the
Franklin, ilien lying atValparaiso, permitted
a Spaiiia'r’d, (a patriot officer,) to come on
board the Frankliii,.and remain there without
reporting him to the Captain, Lt.,Hunter
_§llL*We(I in his defence that this was done at
-the instance of Mrs. Stewart, who liarboured
mm at the Inquest of ‘sonic friends on shore,
and because she considered that he would
certainly be put to death iflie was not secured
from the RoyaIists. ‘The trial was co‘ncIuded
on Wednesday, and Lt.Hunter was acquitted.

'1‘UESDAY,'—AUGUST 23, 1825.

Cam. Poiilerfountl guillj/.-5—F'ron’_i the Na-
tional Journal of Thursday it appears that
the Court Martial in the case of Comm. Por-
ter Iia's found him guilty on both the charges
preferred against him, and ‘sentenced him to
a siispension from the service forisix moiiths,
and that the decision has been fully approved
by the President. This is a result which was
dotibtless little expected by a majority of the
American people, but of its justice there is,
in our mind, not the least room for doubt.-—
The specifications were nearly all adjudged to
be proved, although with regard to some of
them the court exculpates the accused from
improper motive and design. In making tip
its decision on the first charge, the court dis-
tinctly ascribes the coiidtict ofthe cohiuiodore
in visiting Foxardo, to an " anxious disposi-
tion on his part to iiiaiiitaiii the honor, and
advance the interests ofthe nation, and ofthe
service.” In this opinion we believe the court
has expressed the opinion ofevery incli'vitluaI
iii the nation. No one doubted the patriot-
isrii of the riiotivcs and feelings which indu-
ced the visit io Foxardo, and none would have
for a moment hesitated to justify it, had they
not feared the precedent which, if left unno-
ticed, would liave been thereby established.--
That the Foxardians deserved the puriisli-
riierit,or we should rather say, the threatening
they received, has never been controverted—
and that they could, or would, have been pun-
ished by any other method, or in a less excep-
iioiiable manner, is extremely questionable-
And we apprehend that if the Commodore
had been less rash and petulant before the
Court oflnquiry and Court Martial,and treat-
ed with inore respect the Secretary ofthe Na-
vy, the Judge Advocate, and those members
of the Court whom he styles his ‘juniors,’ he
would have saved himself from the disgrace
ofhis present sentence. He has, therefore,
it will be on all hands conceded, no one to
blame so uiuch as himself. I

After the trials of Com. Porter, Lt. Whit-
lock, aud_ Lt. Hunter were concluded, the
court was dissolved, and a new one formed for
the trial of‘Com. Stewart. The new court
consists of the same President, Judge Advo-

-cate, and most ofthe members which compo

sed the former one.

On the 18th the trial of Comm. Stewart
commenced. There are 4 general cli:irges,-
and 39 specifications to which he is required
to answer. The charges are iinofficer-like
conduct, disobedience of orders, neglect of
duty, oppression and cruelty. A sunimary of
the sp_ecific-atioiis anti the proceedings of the
Court will be given in our next.

Major Andrews, the Special Agent of the
U. S. to investigate the Creek disturbances
which led to the iiiurder of M’Intd%h,returiied
to Washington on the 13th inst. He has been
absent on this business since the 20th ofMay.
Previous to his departure from Milledgeville,
he reinstated Col. Crowell, the Indian Agent,
in the ofiice from which he had been suspeiid-
ed, the evidence produced not sustaining any
ofthe charges brought against him, but mak-
ing his good conduct, as _Agent, apparent.
The United States troops lately ordered to
the Creek Nation, by General Gaines, have
arrived there._

There is a.law in South Carolina which
prohibits persons leaving that state fr. bring-

The Cadet who has taken the highest lion-
ors at West Point Academy, is Alexander D.
B-ache, a. great grand son ofDr Fraiiklin.—-
It is stated of the pupil, that during nearly the
four years he was at the Academy, he never
liad a mark of disapprobarion, of absence, or
neglect ofduty attached to his name.

Connecticut River .N'rwigation.—The a-
gents employed by the company engaged in
improving the navigation of Connecticut riv-
er, together with their Engineer and assist-
ants. numbering in all I4, having been over Q
months engaged in surveying the river, were
in Springfield a few days since. They repre-
sent the river as being susceptible ofiiiiprove-
merit so as to admit of steam-boat navigation
as far as Bariiet in Vermont, about 200 miles
above the tide water, and at a moderate ex-
pense. In this distance the fall in the river is
ascertained to be only about 450 feet.

The Augusta (Georgia) Chronicle says-
“ The first Monday in October next will, in
all probability, provide the Governor with a
passport to the walks of private life, where we
hope he may enjoy riiany years both ofhealth
and happiness.” Let all the people say,
Amen I -

The _wagon of the Rev. Mr. Frey, who is
now on a tour ofcollection, for the American
Society for ameliorating the condition of the
Jews, was robbed while staiidiiig before the
door ofa clergyman in Lempster, N. H. on
the night of the 7th inst. ofa leather trunk,
containing his wardrobe, several iriaps, books,
&.c. and a letter containing ten dollars, a leg-
acy ofthe late Mrs. Campbell, of Walpole, to

the American Bible Society.

flnqtlier Murder.—Tlie Castigator, printed
at Ripley, Ohio, states that a Mr. Boswell,
son-in-law of Gov. Desha, of Kentucky, arri-

vedat tliat place on the 21st oh. and was the-

iiext nidrning arrested and conveyed to Mays-
ville, ‘on a charge of an attempt ’to murder
Mr. Clarke of Fleming County, Kentucky.
After his apprehension it‘ was reported that
Mr. Clarke had died ofhis wounds. The edi-
tor ofthe Chilicothe Times, remarks on the
‘above intelligence: “ Should tliis.be the fact,
the prisoner will probably meet with less of
the ‘ law’s ‘delay’ than has been experienced
by his brother in law, the murderer of the la-
mented Fraricis Baker, as M r. Clarke’s cou-
nexions are said to be infiiiential.”

A duel was fought at Norfolk on Tuesday
last, between Capt. Mounfort $1. Lt. Spencer
both of the U.S. army, in which the latter
was wounded, supposed inortally.

.4 S'ingulzir ./Ifi‘air.—-lVe,are-inflirmed by
the Peekskill Chronicle, tliatou Thursday
evening llthyinstant, a Mrs. Clarinda Folleit,
a young married woman, late _of Piitinan
county, and whose husband belongs in this
place being (in he_i- way to visit her friends,
was assaulted, robbed, and beaten by two fe-
males, one of whom is named Eleanor Lane,
and her sister. Mrs. F. arrived in a sloop
from New York that morning; and from
some cause uriltnowii the assailants kept tip a
continual search for Mrs. Folleit until about
8 o’clock iii the eveiiing,\vlieii she was attack-
ed by these lurking fiends, and stripped of a
considerable part oflier wearing apparel, and
beat in a most shameful manner ; after which,
several unsuccessful attempts were made, by
them to drag her across the street, for the pur-
pose ofthrowing her into a mill stream which
is nearly a perpendicular descent of from 15
to 20 feet from where the street runs ; and
had it not been for the timely interference of
sortie persons, she must inevitably have per-
ished by the hands of these furious females.
They were arrested and committed for trial.

Comct.—Tlie time is now fast apprbacliing,
when the remarkable Comet or Planet, to
which the name ofEncke has been giveii,will
be again visible to the earth. The attention
of astroiioiuers has been much attracted to
this singular body by the very near equality
ofthe times of its revolutions rou rid the sun,
and by the slow, but continual decrease of
those times; which last curious fact is gener-
ally ascribed to the resistaiiceu f the sun’s at-
mosphere, to ilie motion ofthe comet, when
in perihelioii. The comet was last in peri-
lielion on the Qlst of May, 1892 ; its periodi-
cal time of revolution being £2205 days (which
will have elapsed on the 3d of Sept.) we may
daily expect to see it.—./flmericim Traveller.

A child in Upper Canada, actually hit by a
triad dog, and exhibiting the usual appearan-
ces iii the sublingural glands, has been per-
fectly restored, by the careful and repeated
application of the laiicetand caustic to the
pimples $1. tumors beneath the tongue. These
tumors made their appea rzmceon the evening
ofthe tenth day after the bite, and were im-
mediately disoliarged by the lancet. The
same process on every re-appearziuce of the
tumors, produced :1 cure of this alarniing dis-
ease in about a W cek.——-.dlb. Pat.

J1 young rogue cmrgl'it.—-A lad, apparent-
ly about 15 years old, an apprentice to Mr.
Deyo a respectable tailor of this place, was
very ingeniously detected in stealing money
from the drawer of Mr. Tliroop’s store in this
village. He had for sortie time made it a
practice to call at the store when there was
no one there excepting Mr. T. or one of his
clerks. He would then generally call for
wine, or some trifling article kept in the store
cellar, and in their absence to procure the ar-
ticle, it was suspected that he made free with
the change drawer. The other day Mr. T.
fastened a cord to the back ofthe drawer, and
let one end pass through a small hole into the
cellar. It was but a short time before the
boy came in, and observing no one but Mr.
Tliroop iii the store, called for some wine ;-
Mr. T. on entering the cellar, perceived the
cord move, caught bold ofit, and with a sud-
denjirk made it fast ; he then ran tip stairs,
and found the young rogue with his hand fast
in the drawer, and he was taken, as Prince
Hal says, “in the manner.” We hope this
little afl'air will prove a warning to the de-
scendants ofthe Long-finger family, to keep
their fingers off other people’s property, lest
they should, as this chap has done, get them
trapped.—-Sclioharie Republican.

The Indians.-—We are informed by the
Michigan papers,that an unusually large mim-
ber of Indians have visited that region this
summer. At the last dates, it was computed
that there were then not less than 8 tliousand
at and near Maiden. It would seem they do
not make their journey for nought, for the
usual amount of goods annually sent to Mal-
den, as presents for the Red Men, is twenty
thousandpounds sterling, and this year the
IIIIIOUIII. has been greatly increased.

The Indians, who are able and adroit poli-
ticians so far as their immediate wants and in-
terests are concerned, avail themselves ofthe
rival generosity ofboth the British and Amer-
ican nations, and flatter both with annual pro-
fessions of friendship and dependence. They
stop at Detroit both before and after visiting
Maiden, and at the latter place receive pres-
ents of blankets, broadcloths, arms, a_minuni-
tioii, 8at.c. They then repair to Detroit,wliere
they “ make a fine display of blue and scarlet
apparel, feathers, and silver ornaments, and
pay their court to their American father, from
whom they expect to receive provisions, and
annuities in cash.”--Traveller.

John D. Hunter, who published an account
of his captivity and residence among the Indi-
ans about 4 years ago, has returned from Eti-
rope. The Missioiiary Herald states, that af-
ter spending more than two years in England
in the pursuit of knowledge under the patron-
age of eminent men, he has returned to this
country with the determination to exert all
his influence in every way to meliorate the
condition ‘of the Indians. In February last,
he visited the missionary station at Dwight,

" Arkansas, on his way to the Quawpaws, with

whom he intended to coiiiineuce_his efforts.

Population of Ireldnd.—Iii the returns
made pursuant to an act of Parliament, the
"population of Ireland in 1821, is said to be
6,801,899, namely, males 3,341,926, females
8,459,901. The density of this population IS
3563 persons to an Irish square uiile, being 3

times as populous as Scotland, one and a half
aspopulous as France, and twice as populous

.,-i

‘as Germariy. The popiiiation of Ireland to »

that o‘fEngla”nd", is as 298 to 207. '

, By Ih,e__‘FI'Qr'Ida, fi_-om Rio J_an_eiro, we learn
that much consterpation was produced at that
place when it was _kuo_wn that Lord Cochrane
had departed from Brazil in the Piranga fri-
gate-—it being uiiderstood that he went off.
without leave of the Emperor, carrying _w_ith
liim all the money he had levied on t_lie-peo-
ple at Pertianibiico, Maranham, &.c. and oth-

. er property to a large ainount. Admiral Je-

witt, who was suspected of beingfiaccessary to
this pr‘oject,_bas_,sitice been arrested. _ _ , 
The last London papers state that the Fir-
auga was repairing at Spitlfead, for the pur-
pose of returning to Rio,biit it was not expec-
ted Lord Cochrane would return in her. The
seamen had been paid of, with liberty incon-
tinue in the service or iiot.—-—Merc. .f1dv'. '

On the night of the 8th inst. the countirig

broken open, the locks ofthe desks forced,
and their contents strewed about the floor.-
Forttiiiately all the valuable papers, and the
money, with the exception of S3, 00 had been
taken care of. All the papers appear to have
been leisurely examined. Nothing is missing
btit a bag of coffee, part ofthe contents of a
trunk ofclothing, belonging to Win. Hills,
Augusta, and a bunch oflteys. The building
was entered by prying offthe hinges of the

she died, prove what religion will do for those
who possess it; the anxiety with which she
exlioried iliose around her dying bed to "pre-
pare for death, witnessed her tender regard
for the salvation of others; and tliedesire
which she expressed to depart and _be with
Christ, evidenced that her treasure was in
Heaven. She was one ofthe hopeful subjects
of renewing grace during the revival in this
place, in 13923, and made a public profession
of religion on the 2d day of November in that
year. Although in conversation respectiiig
her religious experience she spoke with much
diffi-;leiice, yet, in her walk and conversatioii
from the time of her conversion until her dis-
solution, she gave evidence that she was re-
deemed by the blood of Christ. During her
illness, she was some part of the time deliri-
ous, but when she had any lucid intervals she
resigned her soul to God; and said she wished
for nothing as it respected herself, but to be
released from the clog offiesli, and go to the-
kiugdom ofChrist.—-Communicated.
