From the Dublin Pilot
rVe publish a letter from Mr. O'Connell to-night,
ns his opinions and intentions cannot be communica
ted in any language more forcibly than his own:
London, 14 Albemarle street, Wednesday.
My dear Barrett, The die is cast ; we arc all
slaves. One more injustice has been committed to
uar U Ireland. Let us now struggle for the double
repeal
First, of this new Algenne Act.
Secondly, of that union which alone caused this
f Act to be passed.
1 feel the awful duty imposed on me by the Volun
trcrv, I will endeavor to perform it honestly, at least,
ii'nnt well.
Announce to the people of Ireland that I intend on
every Monday, whilst the Algerine Act continues, to
publish a letter to them in the Pilot ; I will, please
Goi, begin on Monday next.
I mean to take up in detail the necessary agitation
in each county in Ireland. Our enemies shall not
triumph over the people, nor put down popular senti
ment. We will still agitate within the law, and
without cither moral guilt or legal offence.
Call on the people to be quiet, to bear with patience
thw new indignity. Let them hope for better days,
-and better days must soon arrive.
Kiwe a caution to the atrocious whitefeet. They
nave played the came which the pnpm;M nr Trolomt
wished them to play. The execration of every goal
or honest man is upon their crimes. The vengeance
of God will sooner later, be visited upon their wicked-
l It. Ho
the vile W hi tefeet-the last and worst of those villan
eus miscreants, who have given strength to the ene
mies and weakened the friends of Ireland.
But still I do not despair of my country No. Even
:a the crimes which are committed
against her, there
"ies a nope mat mose crimes will acMlit
own punishment, and create thereby that state of
hmrjs which will insure the speedy restoration of our
national and constitutional independence.
Believe me to be, very faithfully yours,
D aniel O'Connell.

GERMANY. ,
The elements of discord and revolution are rife
in various parts of the Germanic Empire. Owing,
however, to the vigilence of the Government, and the
strongly armed force, which is employed for the pur
pose, Tt has been hitherto found impracticable for the
unquiet spirits to rally, or mature any substantial
plans of concentrated action, A riot, however, of a
very serious character, broke out at Frankfort on the
evening of the 3d of April, under the very walls of
the Chamber of the Diet of the Confederation. We
.-ubjoin a private letter from Frankfort, dated on the
4th, givingthc particulars of the outbreak of the riot.
Five soldiers were killed, and twenty wounded. The
loss on the part of the students and rioters was not
stated, exept generally that it was great. Their ob
ject was the liberation of the prisoners- confined for
political offences. This they effected; but the next
day the latter voluntarily surrendered themselves,
and the leader? in the revolt were apprehended.
Order was again established, although another letter
dated 3 o'clock, on the 4th, says it was reported that
the Palace of the Duke of Nassau, Biebrick, was in
flames.
" Last night, Robert le Diable was performed. On
coming out of the theatre, at half past, nine, a vast
crovvdproceeded through the street called Zeil, to the
guard-house ot the constables, occupied by thirty sol
diers of the line, and as many police officer. This
crowd was headed by young men in the costume of
students, wearing white scarfs. On their arrival be
fore the guard-house, one of the young men, stepping
out of the ranks, harangued the people, who had col
lected in great numbers. In his speech he expacia.
ted on the oppression of which Germany was the vic-i
tim. The people received the speech with unani
mous applause. In an instant, guns, pistols and sa
bres were distributed, the guard-house was attacked,
and the prisoners confined for political offences set at
liberty. The same crowd, having been considerably
augmented, then proceeded along the Zeil ' to the
principal guard-house, attacked it amid shouts of
Liberty or Death 1' dispersed the sixty soldiers who
occupied the post, and set at liberty the prisoners,
among whom was Mr. Mohr, who had been confined
two yean? on suspicion of having taken a share in
former disturbances. Whilst blood was flowing on
both sides near the guardhouse, the drums were beat
ing throughout the town, to call together the national
guards. Part of the citizens came in time to prevent
the capture of the arsenal.
" The troops of the line amounting to 500 men,
came up in haste, and succeeded in retaking the chief
guard house. 200 soldiers also defended the ap
proach to the glacis. At eleven o'clock, the tumult
was at its height. The people perambulated the
streets, uttering shouts of fury ; patrols of cavalry,
infantry, and pompiers were seen in all directions;
the gates ot the town were shut, and even this morn
ing at ten o'clock no one is allowed to come into the
town. The conflict was very desperate. One student
received nineteen wounds by a bayonet. A prisoner,
attempting to make his escape,was mortally wounded.
Many spectators, in returning home, were either
killed or. wounded. It is positively asserted, that
several thousand peasants were on the point of enter
ing Frankfoat. It is also reported that disturbances
have taken place at Hanau, and that the fire-arms
have been made use of. At. half-past eleven, one of the
burgomasters of Frankfort rode through the different
parts ofj' the city in his carriage, and inspected the
posts. He then proceeded, at the head of 50 soldiers
of the line and 50 National Guards to the tower cal
led the Pfarrthurm, where they were sounding
tb tocsini It is remarkable that not one of the
individuals who were tolling the bell was arrest
ed." A Another letter of the same date says ;
" It appears certain that the garrison of Mentz was
apprised that disturbances would breakout at Frank
fort. Before they had commenced, Austrian troops
were on their march for Hochest, a town situated
half way between Frankfort and Mentz. These
troops have since pushed their vanguard to the bor
ders of our territory. Is it intended to tako military
possossion of Frankfort-? Have the disturbances
been fostered by the cabinet3, in order to find pretexts
for such an occupation, and for the promulgation of
new protocols? These are questions which I cannot
decide; but it is worthy of remark, that the minis
ters of the three principal powers of Germany quit
ted Frankfurt some days back, and that the leaders
of the insurrection, instead of directing the people
. towards the archives oi the Diet, led them against
the guard houses."
Tne French Government, it is said, on receiving
intelligence of these events, immediately transmitted
orders to the French towns on the frontiers, enjoining
the Germarf refugees residing there, to remove to the
interior of the kingdom.
The King of Wurtemburg issued a Proclamation
on the 2d of April dissolving the States General, with
a view to a neur election for the representatives of
the nation. The reason for this measure is distinctly
assigned to the turbulent spirit of the former body.
The Prince of Hesse Cassel issued a manifesto on
the 25th of March conceived in still stronger terms:
asserting that a majority of the Chamber had fromone man nas med since1 her arrival here ; she has
the verv commencement of the Session assumed an
attitude hostile to the government.
Both these royal functionaries express a strong
hope that the new elections mav eventuate in such a

NEWBERN, FRliAT, MAY 31, 1833
! Portsmootb, April GWThe Manlius transnort ar
rived this morning from off Oporto, which place she
'eft on Monday afternoon, April 1st having landed
279 men and several officers. The St. George at
the same time landed 400, and the Lord Wellington
a great many bullocks, with a large quantity ofpro
visions: in fact, on the night of the 27th, about 30
sail of vessel landed all their cargoes. Several offi
cers ot Fedro's army came ol the Manhqs ; thev
were all in high spirits, and described every thing as
by some means had reached Sartorious, with which
he had been able to pay the Constitution and Fortu
enza corvettes, andtheiVilla Flor brig, and these
three vessels were' cruising off Oporto.
A further supply of money was sent on the 26th
from Oporto, in the Lrindon Merchant steamer, for
the fleet, and Sartorious, with all his ships, was
hourly expected at Opollo when the Manlius came
away. Pedro now musters 5,000 English and 7,000
French troops, and his(whole force was stated by
the officers at not less th$ii 22,000. There had been
no fighting in any force isince the 24th, though skir
mishing was hourly going on, and the Miglielites
were incessantly firing (on the Castle of the Foz
which is a bomb-proof fortress; in one day the Ped
roites picked up 179 balls in the castle yard ; and
Pedro is largely supplied with shot in 'this way by
his opponents.
Lisbon dates arc to thf 29th March, on which day
Don Carlos and the Princess of Beira arrived in the
Tagus from Spain. A letter from that city expres
ses a decided opinion that Don Pedro will ultimately
succed, and adds : k
" He landed with less i than 7,000 men, and has
now 17,000 well desciplihed soldiers, well officers, ;
while, on the contrary Don Miguel's 40,000 men,
with which he originally environd Oporto, is dimin
ished down to 25,000, of whom only 8,000 are regu
lar soldiers; the remainder are guerillarsand militia,
and are very sickly, and badly clothed, to remedy
which latter the inhabitants ofihis city are called
on to furnish shirts, and other apparel.
HOLLAND AND BELGIUM.
The King o! Holland gives no indication of any
design to accede to the course pointed out for him
by England and France ; and the Belgians com
plain of the inefficiency of the blockade of the Dutch
ports which those powers V-ommenced.

A letter fom Messina,; under date of 23d Febru
ary gives a melancholy account of the condition of
the people of this island.! Famine, less extensive,
out scarcely less deplorable and afflicting in its char-
acter than that of the Cape re Verds, has produced
sickness, desolation and death. The misfortune was
occasioned principally by a succession for many
months of heavy rains and dark mists, which covered
the plains with water, and prevented the mowing of
the crops. - i
ENGLAND.
The renewal of the charter of the Bank of Eng
land and of the East India Company, were topics of
great interest, and discussed with gerat earnestness,
not only in the public papers, but in private circles.
A pro ject was on foot to establish, in place of the pre
sent institution, a National Bank on different princi-

The worst cases wefe immediately removed to an

Jv and generously after the tempest and trials of life
Save subsided, and the mariner has anchored at the
haven of hope or joy. There is always a melancho
ly pleasure in the contemplation of a church yard
scene to a sober and sorrow-chastened mind ; of which
they only who have been deprived of all that life
held dear, can properly appreciate. Even the rustic
cantos, or the clownish witticisms nave cnarms. as
well as the simple record or the sublime memento.
Epitaphs have had an existence since the earliest
ages, w ith the Jews they were customary at an
early period, and prevalent among the Egyptians and
Greeks; particularly on those who eignaRzed them
selves as heroes or statesmen. The epitaphs were
then as sincere as they were simple, and not deserving
the sarcastic stigma of the French proverb, 'Mentevr
comme une epilaphehe lies like an epitaph;' al-
uiuugn rjmuy oi .mem subsequently verged on tolly
or flattery. Collections of these epitaphs were early
made in L.atin, &c; and the French inserted them
among their Anthologia and Ana. Subsequently I
collections were made in English. That on Alexan-'
der is celebrated for its cogency and character
A tomb suffices whom not earth could hold.
It is among the most appropriate of; antiquity : for
the ancients seem to have cultivated epic and epi
thalaraic poetry in preference to epitaphs Simple
sentences giving an outline of character are always
the best ; for epitaphs should be to biography what
biography is to history, something should be recorded
to distinguish the individual from all others.
The English have cultivated epitaphs more than
most nations; and some of these mementos may vie
with compositions of any other kind. The epitaphs
of the Elizabethan period of English history were of
a varied character, though generally ludicrous, even
when the deceased were their own recorders as with
Shakespeare, &c. 'J Then it was that the English
epitaph so much jadmired for its caustic satire was
written
My wife's dead there let her lie :
She's at rest, and so am I.
But this has since been imitated and condensed in
French. Ben Johnson wrote a couple admirable for
their tone one on the sister of Sir PhiliD Sydney
commencing
Underneath this marble hearse,
ami another
Underneath this stone doth lie, &c
Dryden had to be contentfrom the opposition to
his character and conduct with the name inscribed
of Je;ufi0,m delivered,' whose epitaph is 'The bones
simply 'Dryden.' Yet this had contented the author
ot lasso the epitaph ot JJr. Johnson on a musi
cian has been justly celebrated
Phillips! whose touch harmonious could remove, &c.
and we have ourselves been not a little awe-struck on
contemplating the superb sepulchral monuments of
St. Paul's in London with the sententious inscription
to the architect, Sir Christopher Wren.
Si quarts monumentum, circumspice.
If you seek his monument, look around.
Undoubtedly his work is his best monument.
But we were led to these reflections from a recent
deviation into a church-yard of this city where al-
,ho"K1lwLe did n01!1 to be enraptured with the
style of the records, we did expect to be edified by
some of those 'texts which teach the rustic moralist
hoxf t0 'i'6;' antl we were not deceived. We pencil
!e(1 (,.own a number ot them, as we believe the sub
ject nasot yet excited much attention among our
I curious hterati and we are willing to contribute to
rescue some ol them from oblivion. We are aware
tnat mor? interesting rescripts might be found of mo
numental inscriptions in our city and we may here-
alter be induced to select farther : but for the present
we are contented with the following as a sample.
Jpew of them are remarkable for their wit or spirit ;
but all generally inculcate a good moral : or are vents
of expostulation or pity, of hopeor of comfort.

ry's in FonrthiStreet, Philadelphia and we are res

1 ho' health and joy and youth's fair bloom,
And earthly hopes to thee were giv'n
They could not rescue from an early tomb
Thy parents' hope the gift of heav'n.
Mortal ! while here thou dost my ashes view.
Think on the glass that runs for you j
Thy most material business set about,
Make sure thy peace before the sand is out. ;
Like some fair flower fullblown in vernal pride,
Smote by the blast, she droop'd her head and died.
Dearest wife and best of friends ! farewell
May this plain stone thy husband's sorrows tell.
Our social joys and hopes alas ! are o'er ;
Thy smiles and virtues cheer ray heart no more.
Afflictions sore long time I bore,
Physicians were in vain ;
Till God alone did hear my moan,
And eased me of my pain.
While on this stone I drop a silent tear,
For one whose mem'ry shall be ever dear,
His worth retains a place within my breast,
And will till in the grave I sink to rest.
Cessez tic pleurer en ce lieu
Tendre frere, adorable pere ;
Mon caeur vous aime devant Dieu
Comme H vous aima eur la terre.
Henry! bo thy worth remembered by the just,
And be thy errors buried in the dut.
A friend this verse bestowes by honour led,
Who lov'd thee living and laments thee dead.
From care and pain, from sin and sorrow freed,
Here rest the ashes of a saint indeed, .
Whose patient faith no suffering hour could move,
Whose hope grew stronger and more pure her love.
True to her Lord, in ev'ry state resigned.
She bore his constant, meek and lovely mind
Till at his word, her spirit soar'd away
To see his face thro heay'ns unclouded ray
Go, reader go her steady steps pursue,
And let thy faith the same obedience shew.
Be hea vn thy choice ; alt earthly dreams resign j
And may her life and latter end be thine.
While speechless o'er thy.closing grave we bend,

In silent whispers, purer thoughts impart;
And turn from ill a (rail ndfeeble heart ;
Lead thro' the paths thy virtues trod betore.
Till blissVnall Join nor death can part us more.

An angel's virtue lay ; -Too
soon did heav'n assert its claim,
And take its own away.
Thus being dead, yet still she lives
Lives never more to die,
In heav'nly hlis9 and - earthly famc--
And so 1 trust shall I.
Can lorn affection with pellucid tear,
Or mera'ry wakeful to each rising sigh.-
Can piety with orisons sincere,
Or sorrow's flow the vital stream supply?
Ah no! my Jane still death'g dark terror files
Before bright hope and resignation ev'n;
And hov'ring angels in celestial guise,
At life's last pang illumed its path to heav'n
He. took the cup of life to sip,
But bitter 'twas to drain ;
He put it meekly from his lip,
And went to sleep again.
Great God I I own thy sentence just,
And nature must decay ;
I yield my body to the dust.
To dwell with kindred clay.
THE MONKEY AND THE BULLDOG.
A curious battle took place some time back, at
Worcester between those two animals on a
wager of three guineas to one that the dog
killed the monkey in six minutes.
The owner of the dog agreed to permit the
monkey to use a stick about a foot long. Hun
dreds of spectators assembled to witness the
fight, and bets ran eight, nine, ten and toonein
favour of the dog, which could hardly beheld in.
The owner of the monkey taking from his
pocket a thick round rule about a foot long,
threw it into the hand of the monkey! saying
" Now look sharp mind that dog." ' Then
here goes for your monkey ?" Cried the butch
er, letting the dog loose, which,flew with a tiger-like
fierceness at him.
The monkey with astonishing agility, sprang
at least a yard high, and falling on the don
lafd a fast hold of the back of his neck with his
teeth, seizing one ear in his left paw, so as to
prevent his turning to bite.
In this unexpected situation, Jack fell to work
with his rule upon the head of the dog,
he beat so forcibly and rapidly, that th
ture cried out most eloquently, j
In a short time the dog was carried, -.n
nearly a lifeelss state with his s
11 fractured-.
The monkey was of the middle
size.
Happy Retorts. The obscurity of Lojtl
Tenterden's birth, says the London Literary
Gazette, is well known ; but he had too much
good sense to feel any shame on that account.
We have heard it related of him, that when,
in an early period of his professional career,
a brother barrister with whom he happened to
have a quarrel, had the bad taste to twit him on
J his origin. His manly and severe answer was
"Yes, Sir, I am the son of a barber; it yotr
had been the son of a barber, you would have
been a barber yourself." We have met in re
cent reading we believe in that excellent
work, Taylors Records of my life,'with a
retort made upon an inflated lord, by a distin
guished man, who had risen to eminence by
his own exertiqn, with whom he chanced to bjt
dining. The lord, piqued at the attentio
which he elicited, said to him, "Sir, I knew
your father; he was a butcher.' 'Well, sir,"
was the reply which was deigned to the JortJ :
