ger.-j4ne good effect of these diversions hasbeen the
introduction into Warsaw of large supplies of provi
sions. Within the walls of the city comparative tran
quillity had been restored by the firmness of the new
Chief or Dictator, Krukovviecki. Four of the mis
I'rennts concerned in the horrible massacre of the 16th
nit. have lien shot, but ft is said that the leaders in
those frightful disorders have been allowed to, escape
with impunity. So far from having any intention
of surrendering, the determination of the troops and
-The citizens to defend themsel ves to the last extremity
had, if possible, become more fixed. The Russians,
on the other hiand,fare described as eager tor orders to

value of time. Paskewitsch is hastening his prepa
rations lor decisive operations against Warsaw, well
knowing that, if the city hold out but for six weeks
rrrc, the winter will have set in and expose him to
the repetition of defeats and losses i experienced by
. Diebitsch last year. Such is precisely the impression
t on the minds of the Polish Generals; they will con
sequently laugh to iscorn the summons to surrender,
by which, on three successive days, the Russian
Marshal means lo precede his attack on Warsaw.
, The ostentatious arrogance of the Emperor Nicholas,
in declaring in advance (according to private letters
trdm Berlin) that he will listen to no mediation of
"thep Powers no terms on the part of the Poles short
' of absolute submission, is, therefore, superfluous. j

' topSSELS, September 9. The last number of
the Prussian State Gazette is altogether silent upon
the affairs of Poland ; but the following very important
intelligence may be depended upon.
CR ACOW, Aug. 26. A letter worthy of credit,
received from the theatre of war, contains the follow

in the entragement with Rudiget, who was anven

witnessed this further triumph of! the Generalissimo,
is situated about 10 leagues to. the west of Warsaw,
upon the road leading from this city to Posen and

On the other hand, a Cracow Journal speaks of
crreat victories crained by the Poles. In its number of
26th August it affirms that the Polish army under
Skrzynecki (who however had laid down the com
mand a fortnight ago) had defeated the Russians at
Sochaczew, who had many thousands (killed, and lost
besides 2000 prisoners and many piece of cannon.
Onthe27th Aug. a Cracow Jourhal announced anoth
er victory which the Poles again, under Schrzynecki,
had gained over the Russians : but this time at Kolo,
40 leagues from Warsaw, in which, besides a count
less number of prisoners, they had taken 38 pieces of
cannon, and the said Cracow Journal, jm its number
of the 30th of August, says it lias received a letter
from the Polish General Rozyqzki, dated 2ath Au
gust from Ostrowicz, in the province of Sandonius,
in which he says that no news of any kind came from
Warsaw, because' the city wa.f completely invested
by the Russians. The Creneril however, believed
that the Poles, had gained somf advantage on their
left wing. .Hence it appears tliat the reports ofthe
hattles at Sochaczew and Koloi which in themselves
appeared improbable, deserved little credit, and seem
indeed, not to have been reganled in Oracow itself.

masts of the ship Sandwich were cut away, and she
rode out the gale. The loss of lives is stated to
be not so great as in 1817: but the damajre in n-eneml
done to the estates, negro houses, provision grounds,
and coffee plantations, is considered to be greater than
at that period. The caries being young and short.
have not suffered so much although on some estates
the early canes were twisted and broken by the force
of the wind, and on others the rivers have done great
injury by inundation. The towns of Denery, Micend,
Vieux Fort, Laborie, and Soufriere are all in rums.
The stores of the first mentioned were swept away by
the sea, and every thing in them was lost, in Laborie
tflily six houses were standing after the gale ; and in
V ieUx Fort and Soufriere about thirty Jiouses each
were destroyed. Vast quantities of produce were
swept away along the whole coast. It is added, that
'lrom the reduced resources of the colony,. in. conse
quence of bad crops and low prices, the unfortunate
inhabitants will feel this disaster the more, as they
have not the means to purchase food for the negroes,
this being the third gale from which they have suffer
ed dunng the present year, and which has destroyed
their plantains, rmanioc, (bitter cassava,) &c. ; and
unless Government afford some relief, the very worst
is to be apprehended in one or two months hence, when
famine may stalk through the land."
Wre cannot resist the temptation of this opportunity
to call the attention of our readers to a brief enume
ration of the man r important public objects effected
during the two years in which the present chief ma
gistrate ot the nation has beenm office. What pre
vious administrations could not effect, has been effec
ted by the present, and with a promptitude and ce
lerity beyond the expectation even of its friends. Its
very enemies arc obliged to admit the value of many
things which have been done, and are reduced to ca
vil about the manner in which it has been done.
Another device invented to deprive the administra
tion of its iust credit, is to ascribe all its successes to
good luck. Never was the nation more prosperous at
home or abroad never were our foreign relations in
abetter situation never were the duties of the vari
ous departments of government more strictly and sa
tisfactorily fulfilled. All this, however, is ascribed to
mere chance. According to the theory of these pro
found politicians, the last ad ministration was the most
unlucky, andj the present the most lucky the nation
ever had.
We have obtained from Colombia the introduction
of our commodities with reduced duties we have
compelled Brazil to yield indemnity for spoliations on
our commerce we have negociated a treaty with
Denmark, and another with France, allowing us com
pensation for ancient depredations on our trade we
have regained the West India trade lost by the poli
cy of Mr. Clay we have made favorable commercial
arrangements with Mexico, Saxony, and Austria
we have made a treaty with the Turk, opening the
Black Sea to our commerce in short, we have estab
lished friendly relations, and settled long standing
difficultieswith almost every nation in the world, and
this in an incredibly short space of time. Add to all
this the arrangements for extinguishing the national
debt with an expedition beyond our hopes-r theincrease
in the receipts of the post office and finally the work
of removing the public;burdens already begun, in re
ducing the duties on various articles of general use
on wines, on salt, on tea and colfee, which will be TqI
lowed, we hope, by a general remodification of theta-
rul. The whole machinery of public affairs is con
ducted with a spirit, decision, promptitude and skill,
in which the best administrations were lamentablv

The politics of this country have got somewhat into
a. snarl with the opposition. Four years since no man
could get an office unless he would hoist the black
flag of anti-masohry. The nextyear, that became
unpopular, and the opposition called themselves Ad
ministration men. This name at length becoming
"stale, flat, and unprofitable," they styled themselves
Claymen, National Republicans, and so on through
all the cognomens in their vocabulary except ledera
and tory, (which, by the by, would be very proper for j
several of their leaders,) until they have at length
come to the Jinis of their word-bookJ It is a matter
of much wonder among us common people what title
they Avill next assume to themselves. For a short pe

NEW SPECIES OF SMUGGLING!
The correspondent who communicates the follow-
ng, assured us that " the tacts are undeniable:"
On Sunday morning last, as the steam hoafHich-
mond, Captain Chapman, was preparing to leave the
wnart a sooty lady of rather bulky appearance, rotun
dity of form, and in a delicate situation, applied for
tier passage to Norfolk. She was decorated in the
usual manner, with her hair neatly plaited, ornamen-
tcu wiui combs, fcc. &c. The Captain, although cel
rated for his politeness to the ladies, respectfully
asked the fair damsel for her free papers; they were
uU.uiialCiy produced. It lbrtunateJy happened that
one ot our. Police Officers was present, who, upon ex
amination, discovered that the Clerk's signature was
a .forgery-. The Captain then wiltmgly relinquished
his amiable charge she was conducted to the Cage,
and there submitted tn mQ .u. "i
guardians of the night. They very soon discovered
that the lady was not exactly as she should be. A
further examination then took place, and after disro
bing her ladyship of a shirt, pantaloons, waistcoat,
&c. &c. all neatly folded around the bodv. tn thP ut
ter astonishment of all present, she stood before them
a strong, able-bodied proper man ! ! ! This ingenious
disguise was used to facilitate his escape from his mis
ters, who are residents of this city and this one circum
stance, among a thousand others, should induce the
captains, of s earn boats and other vessels, to be ex
tremely cautious in accepting the applications of ne
gro passengers, whether they appear in male attire,
or in the more captivating garb of female visitors.
Two enterprising citizens of Pennsylvania, Gener
al Cameron and Mr. McCord, have lately made a
contract for digging a canal in the rear of the city of
New Orleans. The terms are stated to be as follows:
270,000 dollars, provided the canal be finished in
tour months ; 3$ 2o0,000, if finished within five months,
and S 240,000 if finished within six months. It is ex
pected that fifteen hundred hands are to be immedi
ately employed in the prosecution of the enterprise.
General Cameron left Philadelphia for New Orleans
on Friday last, taking with him five hundred laborers.
Mr. Wm. Bradford, of Vermont, has a horse which
he has driven in a loaded wagon from Montpelier to
Boston and back, one hundred times in six years and
eight months; the distance being 170 mile?, the horse
has travelled in that time 31,000 miles. He is now
about 21 years old, and is "a pretty good old horse
yet."
The Northern prints exult in the prospects and ad
vancement of the North. There is scarcely a city ill
which hundreds of new houses have not been lately
built, and which does not exhibit the most gratifying
improvement in wealth and population.
VV e do not envy them. We are glad that whilst
our own section of the Union is declining, there are
others in which enterprize and industry are rewarded,
in which the people are permitted to enjoy the fruits
of their own labor, and in which general contentment
and tranquility, prevail. .
But why is it, that whilst the North advances, the
Scuth declines? What natural or moral superiority
explains this mortifying 'difference? Has it a more
fertile soil, or a more genial sun ? Are the people
more intelligentor industrious than ours? No: in point
of natural advantages it is notorious that the South
tar transcends the North, nor does it fear a comparison
in the general intelligence and enterprize of its peo
ple.
To what then can we ascribe the unparralleled
growth of the one, and the melancholy decadence of
the other, but to that pernicious system ot federal
Legislation, by whicn the one is rendered tributary to
the other ? Our oppressors tell us, indeed, that the
system operates equally on the North and South, and
that our decline is owing, not to extortionate taxation,
and a regular, enormous, and uncompensated drain
of our substance, but to our own improyidenc e and
want of energy and skill. But whilst they insist
that the system operates equally, they still cry out for
additional duties: whilst they maintain that they suf
fer as much as we do, they still demand higher and
heavier impositions. Now who ever heard of a people,
already heavily taxed, praying for more taxes? Is it
not evident from this very fact that the benefits are
greater than the burdens of the system, and that they
receive twice'as much with one hand, as they pay with
the other. And who pays the .difference I . 1 he de
voted South. Away, then, with this farcical pretence
of equality of burdens. Charleston Mercury.
