* * *5 “It is the fault of mankind that
they are ‘superficial ‘observers. They take ap-
pearances upon trust, and imagine some pro-
du('live good, when evil only predoriiinates.——
For instance, on the subject of Lotteries——
they are captivated by a brilliant - annuiicia-
iion. and enticed by the splendid appearance
ofiliousands and.tens of thousands ‘upon pa-
per, as though ilie real_ and substantial sub-
staiice was within their grasp. The risk is
lost in the anticipatiion of the object. They
ilo not enter line the arcana of mathematical
dciiionstratioii. They do not consider that
among a rntiltitiide of some thirty or forty
thousand they have but a single cliaiice—tlie_v
go on adventuring, and when their hopes and
their means are almost exhausted,. they are
stimulated to try once more by the adventitious
success of some more lortunate iiidividual.——
Thus men are led on, frorii vanity to vice, till
the infatuation is too strong to be resisted-
the hard earnings of iridustryare absorbed in
glittering but hopeless spectilatioris—careless
anti idle habits are engeiidered——business anti
labour are neglected——debts _are contracted
which are to be discharged by some Utupiuii

the poor unfortunate votary of chance ends

L0‘lPl‘y schemes are founded on the creuulity

the iiiere dupes ofaii artifice too shallow for
iniposition without the aid of an ii fluted ‘una-
giiiation,-“—:inil that ofteti they are paying a
preiiiittm to the seller for a chance which can
only be realized by one individual in ten or
twenty thousand. This is the weakness of

gull—traps which catch the unwary customer.
It is the object of every purchaser to make a
bargain. a great bargain, even in procuring
is certainly the place to obtain it. Go there,
and you may buy your penny worth cheap e
aiough. It isa good bait, and you must nib-

Now, Mr. Ediior,I have no objection to any
one’s buying clieap—-as cheap as he cati, and
leave the honest dealer a living profit——fiir
“ every trade must live.” But is it llit: part of
policy and good sense for-tl.e meinliers ofany
community to encourage pedlars, itineranis,
and speculators, in opposition to regular

"splendid illusion tliai they are selliirg cheap fl
'.l"here are a variety ofcorzsideratioiisdr-pciid-
ing on this subject, some of them of more im-
portance than we are generally aware, a few
of which I will attempt to enumerate.
I am no pliilosopher, Mr. Editor,but a plain
tmlettered citizen, witlithe vanity to think I
have done some good in my ray, and a most
earnest desire to do more. I have learnt fioiii
my own observation iliat society is coiistituted.
by the “unto, the pursuits, and the mutual dc-
peiidince ofits members. It is supported by
the. constant intercourse, and those daily ob-
ligations which are coiitrat.-ted between niai:
and iiian-—and regularity and punctuality are
as i eccssary to its existence and prosperity,
as light and heat are necessary to the animal
and vegetable world.’ Take away these prin-
ciples, and you sap the very foundations ofso-
Cieiy. Of course it is the interest and duty
ofeveiy well settled and permanent niembar
of airy coinmi-mity to preserve them. The
orner of society is such that the failure or dis-
alfélllatllnelll ofone ofits links weakens the
WI:-’}let.'.ll'clll'l. The merchant, the mechanic,
the citizen. the professional man, and the lioI-
ders of real estate, are all tiititually - depend-
ent—and it is the intercourse which daily ex-
ists between them by which the prosperity ol
each is sustained. Let this be broken up,aiid
the whole fabric must fall. For iliusmitiiiii,
put the case or any regular iraiiesirian. He

ling, with a fair prospect of sticcess. He has
an increasing family. He does military duty
and can be called on in the hour of danger.
lie isassessed, upon his property, his busi-
ness, and his poll. He pays taxes to the state,
the town, and the city. He is attached to
some ecclesiastical society, and supports rm;
iniiiisiry ofthe gospel. He aids in all our
public ltI1pI't)V€lllf:t‘l.S, and extends his charity
xvitli a liberiil hand to " the house-less ciiild oi
ivaiit.” To enable him to fulfil these duties
he relies upon the proceeds ol his business.-—
He extends his credit to procure stock, fill up
his slielves, and keep an assortment, as well
for the accoiiiniodatioii of the public as his
own einoliiment. He knows the amount of
his last _ve.ar’s trade, arid has reason to believe
that it will increase, and his debts are con.
traiied in good faitli, with well lourided anti-
cipations of success. But some hawker comes
along-—one of those eplieiiiera who “ strut
their little hour upon the stage, and strait are
heard no more”——plauts himself at the side of
this honest tradesiiian, and cries “cheap !-—-
cecirp !” His neighbours are attracted by the
syron soiiud,--—they nibble a little, and finally
swallow the iiiiole bait. The regular dealer
has lost his trade-—liis goods rest upon his
sltclvi,-s-—tie is discouragcd—liis children are
kept from school-his public coiitributioiis are
witlil-eld-—-liis taxes an-' unpaid-——tiis eligitile

The man who pursues this course. alld “W5

FROM COLOMBIA.-—The schr. Ante-
lope, at Baltimore, brings advices from La
git-ayra to the 13th ult.~iiiclusive. A letterof
the 11th, received in this city, says—‘ A small
boat arrived this irioriiiiig from Porto Cavello.
which brings the pleasing intelligence ofthe
arrival at Valetieia ofan aid ofGeii. Bolivar.
with de.~ipatclies to Gen. Paez. It is said,atitl
we are in hopes it will prove true, that Bolivar
himself will arrive at P-orto Cavello or.La-
guayra, in all this month.
A letter to the editor ofthe Baltimore Ga-
zette, of Aug. I3. states——“ The Coloiiibian
schr. Iridependencia, arrived here this morn-
ing in two days from Porto Cavello, with the
news ofMaracaibo and Carthagena having
openly declared in favotir ofthe Federutive
system, as wished for by Pacz; it is therefore
supposed by many, that the governrrieiit at
Bogota will now see the necessity of adopting
the measure.’
From the .rVati'orzal Gazette.
The Jllanmsto of the Executive depart-
tiieni of the Government ofColomb'ia, relat-
ing to the insurrection in Venezuela,and da-
ted the 30th of April last, has been received
at this office. It is a long, able and decisive
document.
The Executive government vindicates itself
from the cliarges which General Paez has
brought agaiiist it in his letters to Bolivar atid
his proclamations ;—it convicts him ofiuc0n-
sistency and dissimulatioii; states Illa‘. he has
raised the standard of rebellion; avers that
Venezuela has been subjected by military vio-
lence, to a revolutioiiary and unconstituticiial
dominion ; and acknowledges that his ll’illlUl‘--
ous and rebellious proceedings have arrested
and shaken the Republic in its march and iii-
fiicted a deep wound on the nation by the ter-
rible example of military revolt.
According to lllls doctiment, the depart-
rueiit ol Veiiez-iiel:i,Geiieial Paez hirnselfand
the armed force stationed in that department,
were objects of the particular favour, and iii-
deed partiality,ofihe general goveriiineiit ;—
and he, and his solrliery are guilty of“ special
iiigratitude” as wellas liiglitreasoii. VVheii

tion and to tliat unity or consolidation -1)
which, (to use his own laiigiiage.) the power
and felicity ofthe governmentessentially cori-
sisled.” '
For a whole year, the General abstained
twin executing the militia law, and retnaiiierl
Silt tit about it in his official corrcspoiideiice ;
and tlieti suddenly executed it in a fllallilel‘
which occasioned a petition against him to
tlie legislature, from that very tiiuriicipal body
of Caracas, which afterw-.irds declared for
him, ostensibly in consequence of the Incas-
tires of the legislature on the subject. The
satire signatures are affixed to the censure and
the sanction ; and hence, and from other facts
it is positively inferred, and affirmed, that the
present occurrence of the tiiunirzipal authori-
ties is the effect ofiiitiiiiidatioii, and the peo-
ple of Venezuela in fact averse from his se-
ditious and outrageous designs.
The Executive goveriiinent adds, that it
has received assurances ofloyalty and support
from the neighbouring couimuiiities, and civil
and military authorities, and calls upon the
nation to defend and sustain the sacred code
of her liberties.

their number atQ,000. Constantine Bozza
ris, had also arrived at Salona with his uncle
Nothis Bozzaris, Cliizzozavella, and other
Suliote Chiefs whose deaths had been vaunted
by the Turks. Zonga, Rango Epoldassi,and
other riiore obscure commanders remained
with their troops at Crovari, resolved to carry
the war against the Turks into Acarriania,
Etolia, and the iieighboring territories, and to
shackle their operations. There were at
Napoli 4,000 Roumeliotes- By an order of
the government the defence of the little fort
at the foot of the port of Napoli, is confined
to forty Missolongliiotes.
They write from Smyrna that letters from

considerable weight to this report was the fear
which had displayed itself among the Frank
merchants of Smyrna, who since that time
would no longer take Turkish property as
freight. It is certain that the Greek adniir-
als Miaulis and Saclituri, who have for a long
time ventured to do nothing agaiiist the Turk-
ish fleet, await at this moment with 130 ships
and fire vessels in the port of Napoli, the ar-

navorxr op Trii: JANISSARIES.
We have received the followiiig letter from
Constantinople, and it contains by far the
best account we have yet seen ofthe moment
ous occurrences which have lately taken place
in that capital. It will be read with great in-
terest.—Loi2don Courier‘.
“ CONSTANTINOPLE, June "26.
“Before giving you the particulars of the
revolutioti, it may be well to say a few words
on the measures which had lately been adop-
ted and which were the principal causes that
led to the revolt ofthe Janissaries.
This Government has been long aware of
the necessity of having disciplined troops, but
more partictilaizly so of late. having seen what
a few disciplined Arabs have been able to ef
feet in the M-irea, after the whole undiscipli-
iied force of tire empire had been beaten.-—
They seem to tiave once more determined to
try the measure, aud,either by policy or force,
to succeed. Meetings were held, to which
all chiefs of the Jaiiissaries were invited, as
also the heads of Colouks or Guards, and in
short, every one that could have any influ-
eiibe, either with the populace or Jaiiissaries.
Every thing was explained _totlieiii, as well
as the iiecessityoftlie measure, iftliey wished
to save the Empire from absolute ruin.
The measure was fully agreed to, and the
chiefs of the Janissaries gave their consent in
writing. This dell:.‘l‘lnlna!l..)ll of Goverrimerit
was first made known to the public about the
80th ult.; they iiiiriiediately coiriineiiced eti-
rolling ineti,an«l as the pay and appointments
of the new troops were good, more men ..fi‘ei .
ed than were wanted.
A very few days had elapsed, before the
Government found, that although the Chiefs
of the Jaiiissaries had given their conserit,tliey
were iiiiinical to the measure, and had com
ineiieed plotting against it ; and ten Ustas, or
Uolonels,were taken up and strangled incon-
sequence,and it was prohibited to speak about
the new troop-., who were commencing being
drilled. The Ustas were strangled about the
3d inst. Government knowing the refractory
and turbulent disposition of the Janissaries,
must have been fully aware that something
would take place, and no doubt were sileiiily
preparing for the storm.
The Sultan had a deli-rmined and resolute
iiiati in Aga Paclia, who has the principle
cotiiiiiarid on the Bosphorus. This ruan was,
ti few years ago, a common Janissary, and is
well acquainted with all his old comrades ; he
was one of the worst, a principal ringleader
wli-iii Sultan Selim was destroyed. He is a
uian void ofall feeling, but well adapted for
cotiitiiaiid iii a crisis like the present.
'1‘ll8l'eV()lu[l0ll began about two o’clock oti
tiie morning of the 15th inst. by the .Ianissa-
ries attacking the Palace of their Age, the
Vizicr’s Palace, and the house of Nigib Ef-
feiioi, for the purpose ofdestroying these odi-
cers ; but they had timely notice, and escaped.
They exposed the usual symbols of revolt iii
the Etiiiediaii, a square adjoining their Cas-
erns, and gave notice for all true Janissaries
to repair to the Etuiedian,-.vliicli is always the
place of general rendezvous in such cases.
In the ineau time, the Sultan, and his Min-
isters, and the Pachas in the. neiglibourhooil,
frotii the inoinent the alarm were not idle, 81.
appear to have been well prepared for the e-
vent. Troops, with cannon and atiiiiiunitiou,
soon began to arrive in pontootis, boats, &z.c.
frotn every quarter; they were landed at one
ofthe gates leading into the Seraglio kitchen
gardens, and uiarclied throtigli the gardens,
into the principal square, where the Sultan
took his station, ‘holding the Sanjak Scherilf,
or holy banner of Mahouiet ; froi-ti this flag
being brought out, some idea may be formed
of the serious, ifnot desperate, view, the Sul-
tan had taken of the revolt; it was, in fact,
inaking it a religious affair, as not to join‘ tlifi. U
flag is to be considered as an infidel. New-.
i. 7
went to the Sultan’s side, and joined the flag-
I cannot say at what hour the Janissaries
were attacked ; but believe about one o’clock,
P. M. We heard the reports of a few pieces
of artillery a little after one o’clock ;- about
half past twoI first saw the smoke ascend in
the direction of the Caserns; it was not until
about five o’_clock that we knew, for certain,
that the Sulian’s party were masters.
The best accounts I have heard was, that
Topgees (can noniers) and Albanian troops
attacked the Janissaries in the Etmedian. The
latter stood until the artillery began playing
amongst tlieui with grape shot, when they
cave way, and run into the Caserns, which
were immediately surrounded, and set on fire;
many attempted to escape but were cut tz-own;
some say all were destroyed, whilst our iiieiid
Sadik says not; he says that an opening was
left for as many to escape as could, and that
thetotal amount destroyed in all the 3 days
do not exceed frotii 4 to 5,000 men. Tliis ac-
count however, is"at variance Will) the fact
the Turks, and of course our friend Sadik
wish the affair to be considered less bloody ._
than it actually was. I can assert, for a fact,
that during the 15th‘, 16th, and 17th inst. no
quarter was given to a man found in a Janisvfi
sary’s uniform; the destruction was pronoun-
ced against all who harboiired or attempted to
save atiy oftliem; after the 17th, they were
limiting for them, in every direction ; but
when taken, were only exiled, unless ‘there
was some crime against tliem,._no matter what
leiiglh of time back the crime was committed.
Oirr Galata Porters were taken up the 18th,
19th". and E.'Oth, and great numbers of them
strangled, the rest exiled. This place win
he completely cleared of bad subjects. Our
porters, as well as firemen, will in future be
Armenians.
“ I feel great pleasure in saying, that Gala-
ta and Perri, dtiritig the ~revolution, and ever
since, have been perfectly quiet, not a Frank
insulted or molested ; in short, as perfectly
quiet as if nothing whatever was going on
“ On the 16th instaiit,,a firuian was issued
abolisliingthe corps, and even the name of
Janissary. This will lead IO great and ini-
portarit changes here. Coiisiderable changes,
and reforms will be made in the government
ofthe Paslialics, and in the collection of the
revenue; at least this is the report of the day.
The Government have certainly shown more
activity and used greater exertions’ than they
were considered capable of.
“ On the 9.4lll they commenced the destruc.
tiori ofthe coffee shops, and continue it yet §
very few will be allowed in future.
*‘ A fall has already taken place in provig-
ions, of nearly 50 per cent. in consequence of
the exactioiis ofthe Jaiiissaries being at an
end.”
, Distress in Barbary.-~In April last the
British authorities at Gibraltar sent a medical
officer to examine and report the nature
of the disease raging at that time in M0-
rocco. He was absent on this duty nearly a
month. On his return to Gibraltar he wrote
as follows to his friends in England.
“ To give you some idea of the calan-i.iti'cs
under which they are now suffering, it will be
enough to tell you that within the last five
months there have died, in the Emperor of
'.\1orocco’s doruiiiions, no less than two hun-
dred thousaud souls from faiiiine and disease.
In Fez alone, there have been thirty-eight
thousand deaths. Tiieir crops having failed
for these last three years, from drought, alt
the rivers anti springs being dried up, cattle
died of course from want of herbage, and the
miserable Arabs flocked down in thousands
to the ports on the Barbary coast, in hopes of
obtaining sustenance, bringing with them-. dis-.
ease and starvation. it has been my lot to
see almost every horrible siglit in nature, bui
-all I have seen put together is nothing to what
I have wi-tiiessed within this last month. Fain-
iiie is of all other calamities that ca.n.affl-ict a,.
people the most di=.plor:ible anti sliocltirig.-
The Anatomic Vivante would be ainoiigss
these unfortu-nate ti/retclies passed by as’ no
curiosity, for I saw thousands every day.-—.
Such is their extreine misery that I constant-
ly wiatnessetl men. women and children-,. dying
in the streets, and in the open field's the skel-
etons ofiiieii are to be seen. You see persons-
euiaciated, tottering and worn otit. at length
lying down and expiring. They are seen
devouring dead aninials, as horses, dogs, cats,
merit of animals. Children are seen in the
stopping position gather'iii«_-: up single grains
of corn ; others turning over a dun-,3, hill in
search of the stalks of vegetables and bones,
which last they break between two stories, for
the sake of the marrow contained thereiii.--
Added to this the towns on the coast areyafr
fected with dangerous fevers.”--—P/iil.i Gaz.
The following notice ofthe death of the
Hon. Richard C. flndersrm, is translated from
the El Cometa Mercaiitil, of Cartliagena.
“ Died,in this place, oil the 25th ofJiily,
the Hon. R. C. Anderson, Miiiistcr Plenipo-
tentiary ofthe United States near our Gov-
ernment. A violent fever arrested his career
in life, and death h as consigned. his reinaius
to dissolution. The ground that contains the.-
ashes of our fathers, the cemetery of M-aiiga
‘is also entrusted with his. Thitlier they were
followed by his brothers, his friends, and an
entire people, spontaneously eviiicing tlicis
respect -, and there they repose, iiwiiitiiig the.
cotisurninatioii of time. That the place tricy-
not, in the lapse of ages, be forgotten, in
which they are deposited until the resuriec-
iiou ofthe dead, we hope that a chaste and
lofty nionuriient will be erected, to i:en>irid- the
generations as they p.iss,tliat sluuiberiiig there
are the ashes of linii who was the first link of
political union between Colombia and the
Republics of North America. Tl-iis liomage,
so well deserved by the mxaii liimself, will‘. be
equally honorable to the people 0l:ll)«lS couri-
try.
ous in friendship and alliance, their recollec-
tion and respect do not teriniuzite with the
boundaries of human life, but penetrate into
the valley ofdeath, to honor those that were
just and distinguished here,”
