The x’cview o* .‘imerican liiography, from ■which *, is is taken, contains a number of interesting incidents and characters. \Vhen the British Army had posssssion of Philadelphia, Gen. Howe’s head-ijuar- ters were in Second street, the f(jurth door below Spruce, in a house which was be fore occupied by Gen. Cudwallader. l)i- Mctly opposite, resided William and ^)dia Darray, mtmbers of the Society of I'riends. A superior officer of the British Army, believed to be the adju tant general, fixed upon one of the cham bers, a back room, for private conference; and two of them frequently met there, ■with fire and candles in close consulta tion. About the 2nd of Deceml>er, the adjutant general told Lydia that they T^ould be in the rooni at 7 o’clock and re- inain late ; and that they wished the fam ily to retire early to bed ; adding, that ■when they were going away, they would f:>all Ijer to let them out, and extinguish tbeii’ fire and candles. She accordinglj sent all the family to bed; but as the ofli- ccr had been so particular, her curiosity ■vvas excited. She look ofT her shoes, and put her oar ‘o the key-hole of ihe conclave, and over heard an order r»-ad (or -all the British troops to march out late in the evening of the fourth, and attack General Wash ington’s army, then encamped at White Marsh.—t>n hearing this she returned to her chamber, and laid down. Soon af;er, the ollicer knocked at ihe door, but she arose only at the ihird summons, having iei3;ticd herself asleep. Her luind was so much agitated, that fr'.m this moment she could neither eat nor sleep ; suppos- ing it to be in her power to save ilu' i'. cs of thousands of her fellow country- Tiun : but not knowing l.ow she was to fOti\- y ihe nc ws to (n tieral Washington, not darifig to confult' ii to her liusband.

She got access to Gen. iiowf, aiid solicited, what he ri'.tdily ^'ratitt-d,a passthrough the British tr(jops on the lines. Lt axing her bag at the mill, she hastened towaids the Ainei iruii iines, and encountered on her way an Anu 1 ican lieuienant colonel (Craig) ol the liglit horse, who, with some of his men, was on the look out for information, tie knew her, and iiiquired where she '.vas going r she answered, in (juest of her hon, an (jriicer in th.e American army, r.Tid playing the colonel to alight atid ■walk with her.

She folloHed in tei ror ; when he had locked the door and begged her with an air ot mystery, to be seated, she wus sure that she was either suspecterl or had been be trayed.—He in(iuiied earnestly whether any of the family were up the last night he and the otherojricer met; she told him that they retiird at eight o’clock. He observed, “I know you were asleep, iui I knocked at your chamber door three times before you h ard me ; I am enliie- ly at a loss to imagine who gave Genera] Washington informution oi’our intended attack unless the walls of the house rould speak.—When we arrived near White Marsh, we found all their cannon moun ted, and the troops prepared to receive us, and we have marched back like a parcel of fools.” MiSKRIKS OF WKALTH.

By the packet ship Nevv-York, which arrived at New-York on the 6th inst. pa- pc rs of the .10th January have been re ceived. The Times and Morning Chron icle of that day contain some extracts from the Prcnch papers of the 27th and 28th of .Tanuary ; but they communicate nothing of importance. I’he Journal des Debdts of January 27lh has the lol- lowing paragraph : “Intelligence from Bayonne, states, that according to letters from Madrid, a Constitutional column, nearly 300 men strong, had disembarked on the coast of Malaga. The commandant of the pro vince, and the royalist volunteers, pur sued them, and took S3 prisoners, who were subsequently shot.” There are, in these papers, accounts from l.isbon of the 13th of January. It is said that the ICnglish troops do the police service of the city, in conjunction with the Portuguese troops ; and it was said that some of the British troops were about to march to occupy some of the most important points of tlie provinces. The Minister of Justice and Ecclesiasti cal A flairs, had founti it ticcessary, in consequence of the broils which took place between the British troops and the inhabitaius, to issue an order calling on the criminal magistrates to take nightly rounds through the city, to close the ta verns and dfinking-houses at certain hours, to make landlords res[ionsiljle for any disturbances by day or night, and to prevent them from receiving any pledges of arms and clothing from the Briiish soldiers in payment for drink. A branch of the Apostolical Junta, is said to sit nightly in Lisbon, and to con tribute its subsc: iptioJi to the gransl col lection made on the part of ihe church in Spain, and the rest of the kingdom, to resist the Constitution. The British troops already in Portu gal amount to 6000. These will be sent into the disturbed districts in three di visions. But the writer of the letter be fore us says, this force will be altogether inadequate to hold the country. The belter opinion is, tl.at the cause of the Portuguese rebels is desperate. The Marquis of Chaves, defeated, has been compelled to with’draw to the fron tiers, and must soon retreat into Spain. The Spanish army was moving upon the Portuguese frontier, and the oxen and mules, kc. on the Portuguese siile of the line, had been purchased up and driven into Spain. Madrid dates are to January 15th. A Manifesto had been issued from the W’ar Department to the commanders in chief of the different provinces, in regard to Portugal, it is decidedly pacific. It speaks of the “magnanimous King of England.” The Moniteiir gives, under thr' date of Madrid, December 11, the order in which the Swiss brigade was to leave the Capital, between the I2th and ir>'h inst. Their departure was certain, and the ac tual arrival of them at Bayonne is expect ed on the 6th of next month, 'fhe Duke of Wellington succeeds the Duke of York in the command of the army, and has announced his intention of retaining the whole of the Duke’s Ofli- cial estalJli^hnlent. The Gi’cek frigate Ho])e, now called the “Decatur Millinois,” arrived at Na poli on the 6th of December. She was receivecl with great enthusiasm. Miau- lis took command of her, and the Lau sanne Gazette «.ays that gallant admiral had already, accompanied by the rest of the llolilla, attacked the Egyjitian fleet, and captured several vessels laden with amiiiunition. Another culumn ofHiimeliots had en tered tiie Morea, marching against Ibra him PaeliH, who being beatin at every point, had been obliged to quit the pla teau of Tnpoliizza, and to retreat to .\hidon. l.eiters from Marseilles sa’., that Lord Coclirane is at St. I’ropez, arming a brig of 400 Ions, and making acti\e prepai a- lions lo ^)iii the (ireeks, with a considera ble amount ol funds.

Karaisk:»ki has coverod himself with gloiy at Aracon:^, towards there attacked Muslaii I’i v Kiafla, ofKu- melia, with ‘JOiJO men, and completely flel'eaud him. Before ihe action, Turk projiosed to l eiire. No ! replied K-araiskaki, Missolonghi demands blood, and 1300 barbarians were sacrificed^ to the manes of those sacrcd victims. 1 his furv of (he Greeks shows how the wounds in the hearts of the victors were still bleeding. (The greater part ofKarais- kaki’s troops is composed of the defend ers of Missolonghi, who lost every thing they held dea'r, when that town was plundered.) A rich booty, in arms and baggage, was the result of this brilliant success. According to the latest advices from Jerusalem, the Janissaries there were in a state of insurrection, and the place was closely blockaded. A London paper has received from its correspondent in Paris, under dale of Jan. 26, the. most deplorable account of the situation of trade in the principal sea ports of France, growing out of, as is stated, the unc*^rtainty in which affairs :;re situated in regard to the steps taken by Trance w ith respect to Portugal. All coniidcnce vvas desiruyed, and a vast ciuantity of goods remained, in the hands of the Manufacturers, particularly those of Lyons. The Statistical Table of the States of Europe, published annually I>y the Alma nack of (Jotha, has long enjoyed the es teem of the learned of all communities— that for 1K27 is drawn up v\ ith increased care and correctness. For instance, the revenue of Russia, which was esiima’ed at only 26H millions of francs, is now stated at 338 millions— a sum exactly equal to the revenue ot Austria. Tliat of Prussia, which was slated at 2i7 millions, is now estimated onlv at 193. The sum of the revenues of these three Powers makes a total of 869 millions, and that of France is 229 : thus we see, that this kingdom is not only as rich as Austria, Kussia, and Prussia, to gether, bu; that it has an overplus of 51 millions, which is etjual to the revenue of several Pow'crs of the second order, such as Portugal, Sardinia, ancJ Sweden. England, according to the same table, will raise this year a sum of l UO millions; but the interest of its debt being 750 millions, there will remain only 660 for the public expencesj for this reason, the Ihulget for every brarvch of the public service is smaller, with a few exceptions, than that which is allotted to the same branch by the French chambers. It ap pears that, on an average^ the Frenchman contributes 11 per cent, of his income to the public expenditure, while the Eng lishman contributes 25 per cent.

Patriot. Dre.vdfci..—Tlic following are some of thfr particulars of an uncommon act of murder and ‘.uicitle w hich occurred hi 1‘inegrove, Penri. ou the 4fh ult. 'I’lie nnirderer, .tolin Eckel, liaj evinced strong hatred towards his sister, a wom an aged about 24, for upwards of a year, (no dovil)t occasioned by a diseased mind) the proofs of w’hich were so strong that she wus compclk-i to leave her father’s lu)use. Her parents were taken sick hist tall with the prevailing fever, on hearing w hich, she informed them that if her brother would sutitT her lo be ut peace, she would return and administer to her wants—tlii» he piomised. A tew weeks previous to om- niittin'C this crime, his unnatural hatred return ed more f’onnldablo than ever. He kcptaj,'un constantly loaded, and carried a butcher’s knife about his person, lie »leclarcd to her the eve ning' previous to committing the act, that they both must die within an hour. He wasrtsllesa the whole night. At day-break he told her tft be at rc st, for he would not injure her, und went out of the house ; but returned in a short time, picked up an account book and threw it on the floor, stating that there were several entries a- gainst persons who owed him money. As the father was in the act of picking it up, the bro ther seized his gun, and discharged a ball into his sister’s breast. She shrieked—her father atteini)tcd to catch her in his arms, but she fell streaming with blood, and was a corpse in a few hours.—The murderer retreated a short distance from the liouse, and instantly another shot was heard. He w as discovered shortly af. terwi^rds about 60 yards from the dwelling, suspended by a rope to the limb of a tree, witlv his knees nearly touching the ground, part of his jaws and nose were shot away, und throat partially cut. His gun was found re-loaded, leaning against a tree, and his knife, coat and waistcoat lying- on the ground near it. The legislature of Alabama, says the Raleigh Star, at its last session passed an act to prohibit the importation of slaves into that state for sale or hire. The act provides, that any person car rying neg^oe* into the state after the first day of August next, for sale or hire, shall be liable to a fine of ;^1U00 for each negro so carried in to the state, and iirjprisonment. It farther pro vides, that persons who carry slaves into the state for their own use, shall not sell or hire them within two years after their arrival.
