mOM THE PHILANTHROPIST.
Some years ago a young Indian was
brought into the white settlements to be
educated. His agreeable manners, viva
city, and amiable disposition, soon secur
ed him the esteem of his numerous asso
ciates.
One evening a large company of young
men, (the Indian being one of the party,)
returning from a frolic, full of glee, and
full of mischief, proposed to .remove a
fence by the way, and run it across the
road. 44 No," said the Indian, 44 if wc
want fun, don't let us do any harm. Let
us have fun that will do good. See here
is a pond across the road, that foot people
cannot get along without getting wet, and
there is an old tree that would make a
good foot puh. If we must have a frolic
let us put the old tree across the pond for
people to walk on." The proposition was
immediately adopted and carried into ef
fect. There are many ot our civilized
youfig men who might derive instruction
from this example.
A clergyman once asked Garrick why
a church congregation was seldom brought
to tears, when the same persons placed
in a theatre, would be worked up to grief
by a fictitious distress. 44 The reason,"
answered Garrick, 44 is obvious; we repeat
Jict:c?i us though it were truth you repeat
truth as though it were fiction.
A gentleman relates, that he one day
asked one of his own tenants how he did ?
his wife having died a few days before ;
to which he answered 44 When I return

eyes, and endeavoring to weep every one
said to me, 4 Conrad, don't afilict yourself
I know very well what you want; I will
give you another wife. Alas ! ( said I to
myself) they never spoke to me in this
way when I lost one of my cows."
In Captain Parry's Journal of his Voy

I have lately met with a communication from

The author states that he has discov
ered a substance more effectual for the
cure of fevers of every description
than Quinquince,(or bark,) more pleas
ant in its application, and much less
expensive. This substance is Gelatine,
to be administered in 24 grains to in
fants, up to 2 and to 12 drachms to
persons from 12 to 16 years, and from
2 drachms to 3 ounces for all persons
over that age.
It should be taken when the symp
toms of the fit begins to be felt. As
soon asadministered,the amendment of
the patient is rapid, and the progress of
the cure is very regular. Whenever
the fever is not removed at the first fit.
it changes its nature ; from quartan it
becomes tertian, sometimes remittent,
and at length ceases. From the com
mencement of the treatment, the intes
tines become open anl perform their
functions with ease : in a very short
time the patient is thrown into strong
sweats, which he must not by any
means try to abate.
If the patient is so reduced that he
is unable to digest, that his strength is
almost exhausted, the dose of Gelatine
should be gradually increased till the
fever is radically cured, with doses of
4 to 8 ounces per day, given in good
wine and seasoned with sugar and cin
namon. The bark should on no ac
count be used at the same time with
Gelatine.
To prepare it, select the driest and
most transparent Gelatine, dissolve it
over a gentle fire, in three parts water,
add equal parts of sugar and orange
flower water ; keep it in this state of
jelly, and when used, dissolve the
quantity wanted.

REVOLUTION IX THE MOKEA.
VIENNA, AUG. 1.
The Greek Insurrection in the interes
ting peninsula of Alorea has been more
successful than those attempted in Molda
via and Wallackia ; still at the date of the
latest accounts, they had not been able to
effect the reduction of the fortresses in
which the Turks have thrown themselves
on being pressed by the Greeks ; and they
still remain destitute of a leader of skill
Having the command of the sea, the
Greeks expect to starve those fortresses
into a surrender, as they cannot subdue
them by the sword. The Turks continue
to make sallies from the citadel of Patras,
which town has been wholly destroyed.
This to'vn, the ancient Patrte, contained
6000 souls, of which only about 250 ivere
Turku. In the time of I'ausaniua it ivas
adorned nvith tetnples, a theatre, and odeum.
Like Athens, it is situated some distance
from the ta, and is the most ticrtherly tovjn
of the JWorca.
There has been a smart battle in Thes
saly, in which the Hey of Negropont has
been defeated near Zilani
We learn from Athens, that the Turks
have retired to the citadel; where they
were in want of water. The Greeks have
battered the town, and it is said two thirds
of it have been reduced to ruins.
The Greek cause docs not look wril
The inhabitants of the islands in the Arch
ipelago are said to have resolved, in case
of their final failure, to embark on board

LONDON, AUG. 12.
Greece. The following letter, which
is from a most respectable source, con
tains much valuable information on the
state of afTairs in Greece :
"ZANTE, JULY 14.
" By the Hermes I ive you an account
of Mr. Greene, the English Consul, hav
ing been to Patras, the end of June, with
a fleet of men of war, consisting of the
Rcvolutionaire, 44 guns ; Cambrian, 50 ;
Spay 20; Scout, 18; and Chanticleer, 16.
This squadron was sent up from Corfu,
in consequence of representations respec
dng outrages committed by the Greeks
and lonians on Ionian boats of passage ;
but it had also another object that of
convincing the Greeks that their proceed
ings were taken notice of. The Pacha
had left Patras, with troops for Lalla ; but
the fleet got permission, which was never
before granted, to pass the Dardanelles
off Lepanto, and sailed up to the Greek
vessels at Galaxidi, where they found
about 80 ships in all, but only three of
them were armed. The Hydrioes, Sper
ziots, and Ipsariot, had abandoned their
attack on Patras and Lcpanto three days
before and had sailed for Hydra, after 27
days spent in doing nothing. They had
two of their vessels dismasted by a Tur
kish Corvette and three brigs under L.e
panto. After delivering the despatches
to the person in command, to be sent to
Hydra, the fleet returned to Patras and
Zante, after an absence of six days- Capt.
Pcllcw fned a salute at Patras, at the re
quest of the commandant, which was re
turned fmm the ciu.de!. There is no
danger of the Greeks attacking Patras
for some time, as Usuf Pacha, who had
gone on an expedition to Lalla, had re
turned with all the Lalliots and their fam
ilies. The Lalliots had been besieged ve
ry closclv bv about 400 Moriots, and 2000
men from Cephalonia and Zante, with six
pieces of cannon. The Lalliots sent to
Patras for assistance, begging permission
to come and settle there, and destroy Lai
la, as was done in 1771. The Pacha went
to them in person, with 1220 men, and
upon his arrival a battle was fought, the
Lalliots attacking on one side, end the
troops of Patras on the other. The lo
nians did some execution with their guns
as the Pacha advanced, but he charged
them at the head of his men : and the
Lalliots attacking the Moiiots at the same
time, these last fled when they had fiicifj
their muskets, and left the Ionions to fight.
The consequence was a total overthrow of i
the Greeks and lonians, about 550 being j
put to the sword, and 40 lonians taken !
prisoners, who were impaled or hanged
on the field of battle. I he rest fled, and
arrived at Zante in a most distressing
condition. The Turks returned to Pa
tras. By the last accounts they had about
6000 men there. They were distressed
for corn, but had sent off a third of the
troops to attack the Bishop. The Pacha
is a man of undaunted courage, as well
as his officers. The Turks lost about SO
men in Lalla, chit fly killed by trie lonians.
Not one fort or castle in the Morca has
hitherto been taken bv the Greeks, but it
is probable that the Turks may be starv
ed out at Coron, Napoli de Malvcmm. and
Navuiin, as they were at the last extrem
ity. 1 think, however, that thev will
blow up the castles, and attempt to cut !
i.ieir way to i'atras, or 1 npnlissj. rather
than capitulate, as they well know the fate
that would await them in so doinr. At
Hydra the Greeks actually roasted the j
Turks alive by a slow fire, first cutting J
n c 'ha
off their cars and noses. This you may
rely on as an undoubted fact, as well as
what I have related. The Turkish fleet
that was at Patras came to Zante for pro
visions and was supplied. The Capitania
Bey was off Corfu, in want of men and
provisions. If be could have attacked
the Hydriotes at Lepanto, I think he
would have taken them."
From the Alicant Journal, February 14.
On the 7th of this month, after a con
tinuation of Levanters, to which this bay
is exposed, and with a very heavy sea,
caused by the storm without, and render
ing it impossible to effect a landing on the
wharf from the terrible surf which broke
on every part of it a Swedisn boat, with
two sailors little accustomed to these
shores, was suffered by them to be drawn
to the most dangerous spot at about a mile
distant from the wharf, where it was over
whelmed by three successive breakers.
This being observed from the shore by
Lieut. Whipple, of the United States
brig Spark, he, without a moment's hesi
tation, dashed into the sea to the assis
tance of those unfortunate men, and sa
ved their lives. On the 9th the same oc
currence happened with the boat of the
same brig, wherein twelve individuals
were coming ashore, and Lieut. Whipple
being then at his lodgings, where he had
since remained to re-establish himself
from his former fatigues, no sooner heard
of this fresh accident than he rushed in
haste down to the beach, and plunged
with intrepidity into the furious waves,
braving a thousand dangers, and strug
irlimr with almost certain death, insomuch
that had not assistance been lent him, he
would have fallen a victim of his heroic
generosity.
While we lay before the public this
sublime trait of humanity, far more casi
Iv lobe admired than imitated, we should
remind them that such are the results of
that system of liberty by which that hap
py nation is guided of which he is a mem
ber, where reason and justice have placed
their throne and extended all their dimen
sions over the human heart.
We have been eye witnesses of what
we have related, and have beheld this A
mcrican hero exceeding even himself,
despising his own life to save those of his
fellow-creatures, regardless of the differ
ence of nations, and of every circumstance
but such as were dictated by the most re
fined beneficence.
A man of more moderate feelings may,
on some occasions, urged by momentary
circumstances, do a brilliant and extraor
dinary action, but when these deeds are
repeated, and under different circumstan
ces, we have evidential proof of what is
the true character and temper of the soul
of that individual who is the actor of them.
Had such events taken place in the days
of the enthusiastical Republic of Rome,
we should have seen Whipple ntcr tri
umphant with a civic crown, the well mer
ited rewards of his virtues.
Alicant, with admiration, has beheld,
and with affection will lememberthem
she will relate them to her children as a
model of singular heroism, and as the
clearest proof of what free institution will
give birth to, which so influence the man
ners and transport the soul to actions that
awake the attention and esteem of every
feeling man.

RELIEF TO LAND PURCHASERS.
HUXTSVILLE, SETT. 21.
The period limited for transacting the
business, necessary to obtain relief under
the late act of Congress, expires to-morrow.
Since the forms have been receiv
ed, (about 'the first of August last,) the
Register's Office in this town, has at all
times of day from sun rise till dark exhib
ited one of the most bustling scenes we
have ever witnessed.
The town has been literally filled with
waitors. from Georgia, North and South
Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee and Ken
tucky, besides immense crowds from ev
ery county, and indeed every neighbour
hood in this district, all struggling for
precedence in filling their declarations
and relinquishments of certificates in con
formity to the provisions of the act. It is
amusing to see'the impetuous anxiety of
some and the patient foibearance of oth
ers in presenting their papers to the ex
amination of the Register, who stands at
his desk from morning till night, and with
a scrutinizing glance decides on the accu
racy or informality of the documents of
fered for his inspection, and either silently
folds them up and receives the fees, or re
turns them to the half distracted applicant,
with a laconic and heart-rending sentence,
" Take them back, they are wrong." There
is not a moment to spare for explanation,
neither entreaties or promises can induce
him to say another word on the subject ;
and the purchaser, who has been so un
luckv as to have bis declaration rejected
and who is unable to understand the end
less intricacies and perplexing forms pre
scribed at the General Land Office in
Washington City, is obliged to have re
course to some acquaintance who is bet
ter informed on this subject than himself,
or for the want of such a friend to cmploy
an agent who avails himself of his embar
rassment to tax him with a fee nearly e
qual to that allowed to the officers of the
Government by the act, which he is com
pelled most reluctantly to pay. The time
specified for doing this business, was al
together inadequate to the magnitude of
the transactions of this office. It has been
utterly impossible for the Register, who
has devoted his whole time to the busi
ness, to do any thing more than inspect
the declarations and relinquishments, and
examine the transfers of certificates
which in many instances are awkwardly
and informally made and insufficiently
atithcnticalcd ; in all such cases the party
is obliged to return to his place of resi
dence, often at a great distance, to get the
irregularities, rectified, and it frequently
happens, that the assignor has died or
moved away, and other difficulties arisen,
by which the holder of the certificate is
deprived of the benefit of the act. We
therefore think it probable that Congress
will be petitioned to extend the time for
filing declarations, Sec. to persons who
weie unable to avail themselves of the
benefits of the act in season- and when
we consider the instructions, forms, Sec
were not recived until the time had almost
elapsed we think it a reasonable request.
From the appearance of the immense
heaps of papers filed in the Register's
Office, we should judge there was em
ployment for years to come, to record the
applications, make out the quarterly re
turns and issue the new certificates.
The time for paving the first instalment,
or for completing the payments to enable
purchasers to avail themselves of the dis
count, will expire long bcibre it w ill be
possible for the new certificates to be is
sued. During all this time the titles to
land in this district must remain locked
up in the Register's Office, liable to de
struction by fire or other accidents with
out the owner's having in his possession
the least evidence of his claim. If any
accident should happen, the evil will bo
incalculable. Alabama Republican.
Disagreement of the Commissioners.
NEW-YORK, OCT. 4.
The commissioners under the fifth ar
ticle of the treaty of Ghent, who were
appointed to settle the north eastern
boundary of the United States, have been
in session in this city for the last ten days.
The arguments of the agents for the re
spective governments were closed on Sat
urday last. The commissioners, we un
derstand, differ in opinion. It therefore
becomes their duty to make reports of
their proceedings hitherto, to their gov
ernments, who will then, in pursuance of
the provisions of the treaty, agree upon
some friendly sovereign as an umpire.
The most important point upon which
they differ, is in relation to the position
of the northwest angle of Nova Scotia,
or, in other words, the northeast angle of
M aine. 1 he territory in dispute contains
about five millions of acres of land, a part
of which is said to be good.
The reports of the astronomers and
surveyors, and the arguments of the a
gents, are said to be immensely volumi
nous, and to bear testimony to their indus
try, and we doubt not to their talents.

The Progress of Civil Liberty. The
five ordinancies of General Jackson, which
were only received at St. Augustine, and
promulgated officially by Mr.' Worthing
ton, on the 20th ult. by reading them from
a manuscript, are now in full operation.
They were not printed entire till the 29th
ult. when the last was struck off in the
handbill form, and posted at the most pub
lic places. Yet, under them, already the
new organization of this government
moves on with a firm and steady march.
On the 10th inst. the local judicial tri
bunal of East Elorida was to assemble in
this city, agreeably to the fourth ordinance.
Many supposed it would net take place :
the lamented death of Thomas Filch, Esq.
the Presiding Judge, on.thc very morning
of the iOth, was distressing and ominous.
However, at the hour appointed, a quorum
was formed, Judge Bickley as President;
the different officers, and American aiui
Spanish spectators, filled the room. Go. .
Worthington, as a member of the bui ,
moved a resolution in respect to the mem
ory of the cleceased Judge; and, after
acting on some matters of pressing mo
ment, the Court adjourned to attend the
funeral. On their next rreeting, which
was Wednesday the 12th, a new scene of
fered itself to the people of this part of
.the world. As if by magic, the gloomy
and secret Judicatures of colonial misrule,
if they existed, had passed away ; nor did
anv thing like official self-conceitedness,
self-importance, and grave mysterious
ness, mark the five plain, intelligent, hon-
