The facts hereinafter narratcJ, occurred in the yenr 1813, ami were fully confirmed to John F. Watson, our Annalist of Phila delphia, by the Commodore himself, in 1324, through the medium of Jos. Nonrse, Esq., Register of the Treasury. After the occurrence, such was i he impressiveness of the facta on the mind of the Commodore, that he became a religious professor. lie staled to Mr. Watson, that the Surgeou of the ship should some day thereafter give a published account of the whole transac tion. This seems to have been fulfilled in tho "Itinerant,'1 about the year 1824. At all events, the following, as republished in the Noiristown Herald of 8th July, 1829, gives the same as from the Itinerant. Al though the name of the Surgeons is not civen. it is ascertained that R. Thorn to wits Surgeon, and Wm. Turk Mate, for the year 1813. The " Itinerant" had prefaced (he" rela tion by saying, " It has come to us with evidence ''Sufficient to warrant confidence, as much as any fact in history; and to doubt it, would argue an affected scrupu losity, foreign from our convictions," to wit : ; "And he thai was dead sal- up. and began to speak." MIRACLE OF MERCY. Although the events now for the first lime recorded, occurred ten years ago, they are still fresh in my recollection, and have made so strong an impression upon my mind, that time can never obliterate them. They1' partake so much of the marvellous, that ! would not dare to commit them to paper, were there not so many living wit nesses to the truth of the f.icts narrated; some of them of the greatest respectabili ty, and even sanctioned by Commodore Rogers. The story is considered by all who have heard it, too interesting to be lost I therefore proceed to the task, while those are in existence who can confirm it. Living in an enlightened oge and coun try, where bigotry and superstition have nearly lost their influence over the minds of men, particularly among the citizens of hi3 republic, where knowledge is so unt- fersally diffused, I have often been deter red from relating a circumstance, so won derful as to staler the belief of the most credulous; but facts are stubborn things," and the weight of testimony in this case cannot be resisted. Unable for the want of time or room to enter into any particu lars as I could wish, I will give to the best of my recollection, the most prominent and striking occurrences in the order in which they took place, without comment or em bellishment. - Some time in the latter part of Decem ber, 1813, a man by the name of William Kemble, aged about 23 years, a seaman on board of the United States frigate, Pres ident, commanded by Commodore Rogers, on a cruise, then near the Western Islands, was brought to me from one of the tops, in which he had been stationed, having burst ed a vessel in his lungs, I3eing at that time in great danger of instant death, the blood gushing with great violence from his mouth and nostrils, it was with much dif ficulty that I succeeded in stoppoing the discharge. He was immediately put on the use of remedies suites to his case. I visited him often, and had the best oppor tunity of becoming acquainted with : his temper, habits, and intellectual attainments, and under all circumstances during his ill ness, found his language and behavior such as stamped him the rough, profane and illiterate sailor. It is my belief, though 1 cannot positively assert it, that he could neither read nor write. It is certain that his conversation never differed in the least frorn that of the most ignorant and Jaban doned of his associates constantly mixed with oaths and the lowest vulgarity, i Had he possessed talents or learning, he must have betrayed it to me during his long confinement. , In the early part of January, a vessel bore down upon us, with every appearance ,of being an English frigate. All hands were called to quarters ; and after a short and animated address by the Commodore to the crew, all prepared to do their duty. Before I descended to the cockpit, well knowing Kemble's spirit, and how anxious he would be to partake in the glory of the victory, defeat never entering our thoughts) I thought it better to visit him. After stat ing to him the peculiar situation he was in, and the great danger he would be ex posed to, by the least motion, I entreated him and ordered him not to stir during--the action, which he promised to observe. We were soon after obliged to fire. At the sound of the first gun he could restrain himself no longer regardless of my ad- nfDrujjon, and of his own danger, he rosh edupon deck and flew to his gun, laying -o&Wao neip to run ner out. A tresh and frcrnendous discharge from his lungs was lh cansq6errce". and he was brought down lo me again, in a most deplorable state. I ntfbrehended' immediate death, but bv the application' thrj proper remedies, 1 sue- eieeded, once more, in stopping the liemor rhage, by which he was reduced to a state of extreme debility. Being near the equa tor, and suffering much from heat, his ham mock was hung upon the gun deck be tween tne ports, as anordmg toe best cir cuiation ot air. He continued some time fjfce from hemorrhage but was under, the liuuswuv uso ui uicuitiuea, aim was uuti fined to a particular diet. This made him fretful.'ftnd he would frequently charge my mates y ' .rvirig him, and at the same time damamg them in the true sailor style, After somef time, being again called to quarters at night, he was necessarily re- moved below to the sick berth, (commonly called bay ;) this was followed by another discbarge oi Diooa irom ms lungs, which was renewed, at intervals, until his death. On the I7th of January, in the afternoon, Dr. v (my .fst mate,) came to me on deck, and reported Kemble to be dead. I directed him to see that his messmates did what was usual on such occasions, prepar atory to committing , his remains to the deep. About two hours after this Dr. again called upon me, and said that Kern ble had come to life, and was holding forth to the sailors in a strange way. I directly went down, where 1 witnessed one of the most remarkable and unaccountable trans actions, that perhaps has ever fallen to the. lot of man to behold. JVernDie nana await eneJ, as it were, from sleep, raised himself up, called for his messmates in particular, and those men who were not on duty, to attend to his words. He told them he had experienced death, but was allowed a short space of time to return, and give them, as well as the officers, some direction for their future conduct in life. In this situation I found him surrounded by the crew, all mute with astonishment, and paying the most serious attention to every word that escaped from bis lips. The oldest men were in tears not a dry eye was to be seen, or a whisper to be heard-- al was as solemn and silent as the grave. His whole body was as cold as death could make it. There was no pulsation in the wrists, the temples, or the chesr, perceptible.. His voice was clear and powerful j his eyc3 un commonly brilliant and animated. After a short and pertinent address to the medical gentleman, he told me in a pre emptory manner, to bring Commodore Ho-gera-to him, as he had something to say to him before he finally left us. The Com modore consented to go with me, when a scene was presented truly novel and inde scribable, and calculated to fill with awe the stoutest heart. .The siek. bay Tjor berth) in which he lay is entirely set apart to the use of those who are confined to their beds by illness.5 Supported by the surgeons, surrounded by his weeping and astonished comrades, a crowd of spectators looking through the lattce work wh:ch enclosed the room, a common japanned lamp,lhrow ing out a sickly light, and a candle held opposite his face by an attendant, was the situation of things, when our worthy Com modore made his appearance. And well does he remember the effect produced by so uncommon a spectacle, especially when followed by the utterance of these words from the mouth of one long supposed 'o have been dead ! "Commodore Rogers, 1 have sent for you, sir, being commissioned by a higher power,' to address -ou for .a short time,' and o deliver the message en trusted to me, when I was permuted to re visit the earth. Unce I trembled m your presence, and was eager !o obey your com mands; but now I m yoursuperiorbsing no longer an inhabitant of thtax'earth. 1 have seen the glories of the world of spir its, lam not permitted! to make kaown what I have beheld. Indeed, were I not forbidden, language would be inadequate to the task. 'Tia enough for' you and the crew to knowythat rliave been sent back to earth to reanimate, for a few hours, my lifeless body commissioned by God, to per form the work lam now engaged in." tie then, inlanguage as chaste and appropri ate as would not have disgraced the lips or the pen of a Divine, took a hasty view of,.dll the. moral and religious duties in cumbent upon the commander of a ship-of-war ; he reviewed the vices prevalent on board a ship ; pointed out the relative du ties of officers and men, and concluded by urging the necessity of reformation and re pentance. He did not, as was feared by our brave Commodore, attempt to prove the sinfulness of fighting and wars ; but, on the contrary, warmly recommended to the men the performance of their duty to their country with courage and fidelity. His speeches occupied about three-quarters of an hour ; and if re whow eouki have been taken down at the time, they would have made a considerable pamphlet, which would, no doubt, have been in greal de mand Doctor , now at Boston, heard all the addresses ; I only the last. When he finished with the Commodore, his head dropped upon lus breast, his eves closed, and he appeared to pass through a second death : no pulsation, nor the least degree of warmth, could be perceived during the i lime he was speaking. 1 ordered him - lo be laid aside, and left him. . . I was soon called into the cabin, where the Commodore required from me an ex planation of the case on rational an.d phil osophical principles. Tt.isI endeavored lo give I but in part succeeded. It would swell this narrative too much to repeat all I said in endeavoring to elucidate the sub ject; at least it proved a lame atttrapL - I? or, when asked how this man, without education or reading, or mixing iu other society than that pf common sailors, should acquire the command of the purest lan guage, properlyj arranged, and delivered clearly, distinctly with much animation and great effect, JU gave no reply ; and it was, and ever will remain, inexplicable without admitting supernatural agency. The days of miracles are passed, and I know 1 shall be laughed at by many for dwelling upon or repeating this. story. But never smce I arrived at the years of dis cretion has anything taken a stronger bold upon my mind; and that man must have been made of strange materials, who could have been an indifferent spectator. Was he divinely illuminatad 1 Was he inspir ed or was the whole the effect of natural causes? These are questions which have arisen in the minds' of many, and must be left lor the learned ot two prolessions to answer. 1 returned to bed deeply reflect ing upon the past, unable to sleep, when about nine o clock, I, M,inany hours af ter Kemble had been IauTHby, I was called out of bed to visit a man taken suddenly ill, in his hammock, .hanging near Kem- bles apartment. It was an hour when all, but the watch upon deck, had turned in; j general silence prevailed, and all the lights be I aw pur. out, with the exception of a sin gie:lamp in the sick man's parmcnt, where lay ihe remains" ot Kemble. : x had bled the sick man he was relieved. 1 en- tered the sicH room before I retired, to re- i . - - . luauo someinin fr : ana was lurnmsr round to leave it, being alone, when I was almost petnheu upon beholding Kemble sitting up , ii ua ouui, wan ms eyes I wmcn iiad re- I gained their former brilliancy and inteJH- gence,) fixed intently upon mine. I be- j came, for a moment, speechless and md- i ituiucss. tittiKS i xo mvseit. what havn I 1 done, or left undone, in this man's cara that should cause him thua to stare at me at this late hour, and alone I waited a Ions time in painful suspense, dreading some 1 horrible disclosure, when I was relieved by j his commanding me to fetch him some wa- j ter. " Wi'h what alacrity I obeyed, cau ea- sily be imagined. I gave him a tin muff containing water, which, he put to his mouth, drank the contents, and returned it to me ; then laid himself quietly down for the last time. His situation was precisely the same, in every respect, as before de scribed. The time had now expired which he had said was given to remain in Ahe body . . -.i The next day by noon, all bands attend ed,as usual, to hear the funeral service read,, and see his remains consigned t a watery : grave. - Ii was an unusually solemn period. Seamen are naturally superstitious, and on this occasion their minds had been wrought upon in a singular manner. -,1'ecoruin is always observed by sailors at-such times ; but now they were all affected to tears. And when the body was slid from the plank into the sea, every one rushed instinctively to the ship's side to take a last Took. - The usual weights had been attached to the feet ; yet, as if in compliment to their anxi ety to see more of him, the .body rose, per pendicularly from the water," breast high, two or three times. This,,, incident added greatly to the astonishment already created in the minds of the, men. I beg leave to remark that it was not though jproper to keep the body longer in the warm latitude we were in. I have now given a short and very imperfect sketch of the', important events attending the last illness and death of William Kemble. The change pro'ddced upon the crew, was, for a time, very remarkable. It ap peared as if they would never smile o, swear again : jbut the effect wore off hy degrees, except when the subject waa,re-newed. (Signed,) NOTICC.

MISCELLANY. v Front the Jia'timure Clipper. Romanism an fOneiny of Itcpubllraiilsin. Mr. Editor: Mr. Chandler, of I'hil.idtl phii, has undertaken to defend tlits Pupal cause in Congress, and he seems to think that Romanism is compatible with rc-publt-canism. If that g-emlcmun lias nol rend the Allocution of I'ope Pius 9th, dutcd Rome, Sept. 27th, 1852, I wouill udvie him to read it at once, and ho will prccivo by that notorious .document that ihe two systems are entirely incompatible. 'J'ho Papal Bull or Allocution was published b' the Roman Catholic press generally throughout the United States, and if ho wi.l refer to the Roman Catholic Mirror of Hul timore, Nov. 27, 1852, he will there find it clearly and distinctly stated by his Holi ness that, because tithes wero abolished in tho Republic of New Granada ; that emi grants might have the public exercise of their worship w hatsoevtr it was ; that tho ecclesiastical court whs abolished ; that tho right too of free education was defend ed ; that each might even print und pub lish his thoughts, and profess privately and publicly whatever worship he pleases ; and to crown all those deadly sins againut the Papacy, the heretical Oranadians actually proposed a law by which the Church should be separated from the Stale. Tho Pope concludes his Allocution by decla ring all the aforesaid laws null and void, in the following pompous and exprtahivo language : " We disapprove of nil 'thoso things which have been done by the rulers of that Republic against teligion, tho Church and her laws, paslors and in 'mis ters, and against the rights and mithority of this Chair of blessed Peter; We, rais ing with apostolic liberty our pastoral voiw in this your most illustrious Assembly, do censure, condemn, and declare utterly null and voitl all the aforesaid decrees which have so much to the contempt of the tcclexMsuenl authority of this Holy See, and to the Iom and detriment of religion and of the holy prelates, been there enacted by the eird power." We may juntly say then, in the language of the immortal Jackson, that tWis Allocution is characterized by every feature that can define a tyrant Tho great palladiums of our liberty, a frtu press and an educated people, are publicly assailed and denounced by ihu ecclesias tical despot. It is therefore incumbent up on every citizen of this free country, wheth er of native or of foreign birth, who claim to be republican, to renounce forever an al legiance so pernicious, so destructive of our republican institutions. Did Roman Cath olicism prevail as much in this country as it does in New Granada, and had his Holi ness the same temporal power here that ho has in Italy, then would this ecclesiastical autocrat overwhelm us with excommunica tions, and thunder his anathemas on our devoted heads; and if we slid not submit to his imperious mandates, he would direct his ferocious agents (as it is the boast of Romanism that it never changes,) to im prison, torture and burn all obsimute here tics, as was the custom in former ages, To prevent this sad catastrophe, let us nil be wide awake, and Know nothing but our country and her glorious institutions. A Jeftersoma RtrrTuucA. Baltimore, Jan. 20th, 155. P. 8. I perceive, by advertisement, that the Hon. Mr. Chandler's speech on the temporal power of the Pope, will appear in the" Catholic Mirror of this day. If the gen tleman will examine files of this eame Mir ror as directed, above, he will there find that his Holiness does claim temporal jur isdiction In the Republic of New Granada; and he would not only cl aim, but exercise, it hero too, had he the power to enforce it. I wish the honorable gentleman would address Congress on the object of this same Pope's Allocution. I think il would puz zle even a Philadelphia lawyer to prove that the act of pronouncing the civil laws of a republican State null and void, was not assuming temporal authority and exer cising temporal authority.
