"What a world we live in ! EveT thangingrever inconsistent I . There never has been a period in this habita ble globe, so replete with changes, as the last fifty years. Empires hare ri sen and fallen kings have been crea ted, and thrones abjlieated. The slaves of Royalty, started from the long le thargy of ages, have sprung to the dinity of men, and turned upon those who have driven . them to madness. Look at South America at Spain -behold the Greeks ! There is a point be yond which'Tyrants cannot oppress, i)or the oppressed endure. The armies of Louis LeGros have invaded Spain, and Russia who is pushing on hi I this .mischief will soon exhibit her ulterior views. flVe shall acknowledge our selves mistaken if the result does not prove, that France and its peace lov ing ally, the great Autocrat of Kussia, are leagued together to'restore to his ancient despotism, that most imbecile f all the Bourbons, Ferdinand the 7th. .

A serious siihject.r The inhabitants of the southern section of Norfolk county, Va. but ? more particularly those in the neighborhood of the Great Bridge, have for some time been kept In a state of mind peculiarly harrass iflgar.d painful, from the too apparent fact that their lives are at the mercy of a band of lurking assassins, against v hose fell designs neither the power of the law, or vigilance, or personal strength and intrepidity, can avaih ' The desperadoes'1 are runaway negroes p (commonly called out-Iyers) who find a secure retreat from pursuit in the neighboring swamps, in which some of them have been all their lives employ! . ed in cutting timber orgetting lumber, and with the dreary haunts of which they are perfectly familiar. Their first object is to.obtain a gun and ammuni tion, as well to procure game for sub sistence, as to defend themselves from attack, or accomplish objects of ven geance.

Mr. M'Tavish is already in this country, and Mr. Jackson was to sail we understand, Tn the April packet from England, and may be daily ex pected. On his arrival, as there will be no impediment to the immediate or ganization of the Board, they may be exported to -proceed forthwith to the discharge of their duties', The Colombian national schooner General Santander, Capt. J. Smith. arrived at New York on Sunday last, in 16 days from Ta Guira, having on board His excellency Senor Jose 'Ma ria Salaza, the Minister from the le public of Colombia to the United States and suite; and also Senor Xeandro Palaceos. Consul General. It is rendered certain, bv informa tion received from Cap. Smith', that in the. action off Porto Cayello, 'on the 50th u It.' the only Colombian vessels captured were the"' Maria Francisca and Caroboba. One of them had on ly 1G guns, andithe other was partly dismasted at the time of the action. There was great slaughter on board. At the commencement of the action the two ships , had 3000 men, and but I 150 when the.v were taken. Commo- j dore Daniels was not killed, a$kjvas reported i here. He ws, however, slightly wounded. CaptS. also states, pthat negotiations were eoing" on at Porto Cavelfo, for ah exchange of pri soners captured, which would probab ly be successful. Massachusetts. There is no longer any doubt, of a republican majority in the lloiie of Hepresentatives of the j State of Massachusetts. Returns from nearly all the towns in the '-'State have) heeti received-in Huston it is ascer- j tained that 154 Republicans and 80 F'deralists have . been -elected Re publican gain Dr. The Governor.

The ifhculty with the students, was one, almost wholly of a pers(nal na-ure, and only-rented ver ry remotely, to the commencement performances. The violent excesses committed by the larger part of the senior class, in pursuing their resent m e n t ? a g3 i n s t a 1 1 i n d i v i I u a 1 c I a s s m a t e , caused their dismissal : but this will not " preclude the possibility of a com mencement," as, has been supposed.

In the first at tack of jthe French on. the fortress of St. Sebastian, the soldiers are said to have distinguished themselves to such a degree that the Duke d'Angoulcme distributed crosses of honour to them with his own hands. The Spaniards having observed-him froin the fort, or dered forward a 24 pounder but they were so-slow in mounting it that-the Duke had time to leave the ground.' When fired off", the ball passed through a house, and struck a platoon precise ly , on the spot' where the Duke had been distributing his decorations, and killed and vounded. fifteen men.

The writer states that he was one, of the officers of tbe Colombian schr. Pedelia, which sailed from Charleston, (?. C.yon -the 4th of October. On the 28th of December, olF Cayo Roma no, they captured the Spanish schr. Flora, from Havanna. Xieut. B. took charge of the Flora, and made sail for Carthagena.' On the 9th of January, the Flora was captured by the pir&te Gata, sfter an action m "which all Lieut. B's men, eight n i.umber, were killed, and in which the enemy, lost thirteen) men. Lieut. B. received a shot in the thigh. Which disabled him ; but the pirates spared(his life, because they wanted his servirps there beins no other man on tjoard who understood Navigation. . . .,v.'.. Lieutenant B. was on board the Ga ta three months,Kbut was allowed to come on deck only to take observa tions. During this period, he says 4 they captured forty-two sail of ves- spIs, of different nations, which were GENERALLY BURNED, & THEIR CREWS mukdkhed 1" The only, vessel which he has a recollection of their having V released, was the brig Mentor, j of Portland. Tier thev released, in con sequence of th io treaties of the cap tain's son, who. when, they were abut cutting his father's t fir-oat, succeeded in moving their compassion, so that hi futher?s life was spared. A narrative of the encounter be tween the Gata and the, British Cut ter Grecian, already been pub lished. . When the pirate Captain gave I orders to blow up the- schooner Lieut, j B. jumped overboard, and made his' escape. De then went to Trinidad! jand reported himself to the Governor, j says he remains with seventeen m ore f of-his count rumen, almost in a state bf I These seventeen Americans, he j states, belonged to a privateer, and nave neen in prison three years. Lieut. Baker describes their slavery at Trinidad de Cuba, as worse than Algerine cruelty. Since he has been in prison.three of his fellow prisoners have died from want of riourishmffnt, and two more were at the point of death, from want and sufTering. No attention is paid to their situation, and the sick have nothing to keep mem irom tue naked lloor. riracy, he says, is encouraged by the oflicers there, fur th- reason, as It is publicly declared, ihat America has put a stop to the slave trade, and they are deter mined to have satisfaction and re venge.

Jos e ph J I Pope, Esq. of Boston, has invented a j machine for thrashing grain, which is I highly recommended b a number of eminent agriculturalists in Massachu setts and in Pennsylvania! It: will o- j perate either with hand or by horse power, ii .wrougnc oy nana, u is saia to thrash five dozen sheaves jn an hour. By horse power, it is capable of thrash ing ten dozen sheaves in an(hour. The cost of one, of these machines, proper to be roitin motion by a horse, is said to be about fifty dollars. The Legislature of tne state of Rhode Island has lately had a short session. Among the acts passed, none of them of leading importance, were two or three authorizing Lotteries to build Meeting-Houses ! An act had like to have passed, but happily did not.-tax all steam-boat passengers within the waters ot that state fifty cents each. This is wretched policy, such as w supulil hope there is intelligence and liberality enough in the state of Rhode Inland to avoid. X :'.

The nail shop has 40 wpo work in itand when they were bought in and ail but 8 had been 'chained to their blocks, one of those not confined, struck the: corporal Mr. Rowe, who is likewise keeper of the shop, on the head, with" a sjedge hammer. Most of the other prisoners in the &hop, wrench ed and cut off" their fastenings, and seemed disposed to take command, of the prison ; but a few shots from -the sentinels, brought them' again into subjection. - One man was run through the arm with a bayonet, one was shot in the head and in the thigh, and one was wounded by a ball in the arm and side. These few particulars we have from a gentleinan who - was there not more tlmnfchair an hour after the af fray. He sa's there were 109 in pri son, 40 in the shpp, and 8 particular ly forward in the riot. The ringlea der, who. was the one shot in the head and leg, attributed the failure of the plan to the cowardice of tUe prison- ers. 5 Mr, Shelden Clark, of Oxford, Cont. has receiitly presented to Yale Col lege the sum of five thousand dollars. This is the largest sum ever given to that institution by any individual. ; 4.

At length he waited on Walter Scott, and asked' aid, observing that " as he had written so much about it, he might' ken something that would do for an inscrption;', The worthy poet immediately replied, " Why, man, I think ye cannot do better than take a verse from the poem itself,',' The inn keeper was very willing to1 do this when Mr. Scott sdid to him;," Why: then you have just nothing to do, but leave out one letter and put tor a mot to, " . ...
