One could not help asking whether It \vas philosophy or folly that occasioned this relinrpmh ment of empire. He walked ou 'he right hand of the Emperor: the other brother, the Grand Duke Michael, be- ing a few feet in advance of the canopy, a very gorgeous affair, which was borne over the Emperof-'s head by his Cham berlains. The crown was entirely com- posed of diamonds. None of the Ambassadors joined iu the procession, but all of them were Estramadurn, announcing that two squadrons of the 4th Regiment of Cavalry, which formed part of the garrison of Olivenza, had deserted to Portugal, with their arms, standards, baggage, and military chest. They were accompanied by their oijicers. What truth there may be in this state- ment, we know not. If, however, the act be as represented, the two Govern- I mrnts may make a regular exchange man, of Constitutional and Anti- Con- stitutional troops.

In the evening a general illumination took place, and the towns and walls of the Kremlin Were wholly covered with lamps, so that all their forma and an- gles were distinctly seen at an immense distance, and the prodigious blaze of light which played around the domes and minarets, seemed to be a realiza- tion of the delightful imaginingsthe visionary descriptionsof the tales in the Arabian Nights" It is said that Russia and Turkey ivill remove all causes of hostility by agreeing to declare Greece indepen- dent, on its paying a yearly tribute to the Porte. Official accounts have been received at St. Petersburg, that the Persians volunteers at Cuenza are in a state of revolt. The Council of War is note occupied in discussing the project and means of making a new levy of 50, 000. Greece.—Letters fiom Prevesa. of the 15th, report that the Seraskier is encamped in the gardens of Athens, and is besieging the fortress, the Greek gar- rison of which appear determined ort a vigorous resistance. Recent letters from Alexandria state that the Pacha of Egypt has offered a rewaid of $20,000 to any person who may capture lord Cochrane. To pre- vent assassination, be declares that he will not confer any reward in the event of his death. The Paris Etoile of Sept. 20th says, on the authutity of the Trieste Journal, other.

Commodore Porter was advancing ra- pidly in his arduous task of establish- ing good discipline in the Mexican ves- sels ; and, on the whole, a sensible change for the better had taken place. By the side of the Dutch brig of war, which was at Vera Cruz in the first week of September, the comparison is said to have been greatly in favour of the Mexican ships. The latter are to be kept as much as possible at sea. One of the main objects of the govern- ment and of Porter himself, is to cre- ate a navy entirely Mexican—to avoid, whenever it may be practicable, the in- troduction of any foreign materials.— There is a Naval College, at which all the midshipmen now are.

FELLOW CITIZENS— When, by the kindness of my friends, I was presented, a few weeks ago, for your favorable consideration as u can- didate, I did not anticipate that it could possibly become necessary for irie to appeal personally to you, in vindica- tion of my own character. Having re- sided long among you, and my private life being well known to most of the e- lectors, 1 trusted that I could safely re- ly in this knowledge to shield me from all those calumnies which the inteiest or malice of my enemies might prompt them to invent. But the daring and wicked attempt that is made, on the eve of the election, to fasten upon me the disgraceful imputation of inventing and circulating a slander affecting the moral character of my opponent, compels me to throw myself upon your confidence in my veracity for protection. When Dr. Chapin's certificate first appeared, I did not suppose that any o- ther refutation could be necessary than the intrinsic improbability of his state- ment, my own character, and Mr. Ef- ner's certificate. But when I saw the last Emporium, I became satisfied that there had been a premeditated and wicked plan arranged to fix upon me a charge of slander, at a time and un- der circumstances, calculated to excite honest indignation, and which should leave to me an opportunity only par- tially ro resist its influences. Doctor Chapin's statement of a con- versation between him and myself is in every essential particular absolutely un- true. I never told him "• that" Mr. Garnsey took a lewd female from this district on to Washington," nor did I express an opinion that he had done so. I was in the street, in conversation with a gentleman near, where Doctor Cha- pin and another person, were conver- sing upon that matter. Both that per- son and the one with whom I was con- versing, happening to go away at the same time, left Doctor Chapin and my- self standing near together. He then From the National Journal. We announced in our paper of yester- day, on the authority of an European communication, that our literary coun- tryman, Washington Irving, is at Madrid, engaged in preparing for the press a Life of Christopher Columbus. The discoverer of America should, un- questionably, find an American biog- rapher; and we are happy to learn that Geoffrey Crayon has undertaken a de- lineation which offers so excellent an opportunity for him to refute the asser- tion that he takes greater delight in em- ploying his pencil to sketch the scenery and manners of foreign nations, than to touch those subjects which are more im- mediately connected with the feelings and history of his own country. Eve- ly thing relative to Christopher Colum- bus will have a peculiar interest to A- merican bosoms.—There may be some differences of opinion as to the fitness of Mr. Irving's stvle and genius lor histor- cal composition. Nothing, perhaps, which he has yet produced, or at least, of which the public have any knowledge, comes exactly to the style of histor- cal memoir. In all his labours, here- tofore, his fancy has been allowed an illimitable range ; it has not been ne- cessary for him to encumber his periods with the staid and sober costume of fact: on the other hand, it has been permit- ted to him to cull the various ornaments which his own refined taste might select among the rich stores of his imagina- tion. Here, however, fancy must be lettered ; and the pleasing task of roa- ming in tiie regions of imagination, with a carte blanche, to appropriate every thing he might discover, must be super- seded by tiie laborious, and perhaps, uncongenial employment, of poring over musty records, harmonizing con- flicting statements, extracteng fact from the mass of dross and discoloration with which the prejudices, religious and po- litical, of the times, have surrounded and suffocated it; depiiving detail of its dryness ; and throwing a charm over tht whole which shall be so chaste in its character and its influence, as not to subject the author to the imputation of tnrougniear. panaris lonowea nem, ment to the I ravelier,once,nuvo months addressed himself to me, and expressed sacrificing historical troth and dignity and these Turkish prints say, exploded and furnishes a full account of the prin- an earnest and honest solicitude to know I at the biddine of his poetical C enius tics which have been commenced be- slave market at Alexandria, at 121. a twecn Russia and Persia.

FELLOW CITIZENS— When, by the kindness of my friends,

I was presented, a few weeks ago, for your favorable consideration as u can­didate, I did not anticipate that it could possibly become necessary for irie to appeal personally to you, in vindica­tion of my own character. Having re­sided long among you, and my private life being well known to most of the e-lectors, 1 trusted that I could safely re­ly in this knowledge to shield me from all those calumnies which the inteiest or malice of my enemies might prompt them to invent. But the daring and wicked attempt that is made, on the eve of the election, to fasten upon me the disgraceful imputation of inventing and circulating a slander affecting the moral character of my opponent, compels me to throw myself upon your confidence in my veracity for protection.

When Dr. Chapin's certificate first appeared, I did not suppose that any o-ther refutation could be necessary than the intrinsic improbability of his state­ment, my own character, and Mr. Ef-ner's certificate. But when I saw the last Emporium, I became satisfied that there had been a premeditated and wicked plan arranged to fix upon me a charge of slander, at a time and un­der circumstances, calculated to excite honest indignation, and which should leave to me an opportunity only par­tially ro resist its influences.

Doctor Chapin's statement of a con­versation between him and myself is in every essential particular absolutely un­true. I never told him "• that" Mr. Garnsey took a lewd female from this district on to Washington," nor did I express an opinion that he had done so. I was in the street, in conversation with a gentleman near, where Doctor Cha-pin and another person, were conver­sing upon that matter. Both that per­son and the one with whom I was con­versing, happening to go away at the same time, left Doctor Chapin and my­self standing near together. He then

From the National Journal. W e announced in our paper of yester­

day, on the authority of an European communication, that our literary coun­tryman, Washington Irving, is at Madrid, engaged in preparing for the press a Life of Christopher Columbus. The discoverer of America should, un­questionably, find an American biog­rapher; and we are happy to learn that Geoffrey Crayon has undertaken a de­lineation which offers so excellent an opportunity for him to refute the asser­tion that he takes greater delight in em­ploying his pencil to sketch the scenery and manners of foreign nations, than to touch those subjects which are more im­mediately connected with the feelings and history of his own country. Eve-ly thing relative to Christopher Colum­bus will have a peculiar interest to A-merican bosoms.—There may be some differences of opinion as to the fitness of Mr. Irving's stvle and genius lor histor-cal composition. Nothing, perhaps, which he has yet produced, or at least, of which the public have any knowledge, comes exactly to the style of histor-cal memoir. In all his labours, here­tofore, his fancy has been allowed an illimitable range ; it has not been ne­cessary for him to encumber his periods with the staid and sober costume of fact: on the other hand, it has been permit­ted to him to cull the various ornaments which his own refined taste might select among the rich stores of his imagina­tion. Here, however, fancy must be lettered ; and the pleasing task of roa­ming in tiie regions of imagination, with a carte blanche, to appropriate every thing he might discover, must be super­seded by tiie laborious, and perhaps, uncongenial employment, of poring over musty records, harmonizing con­flicting statements, extracteng fact from the mass of dross and discoloration with which the prejudices, religious and po­litical, of the times, have surrounded and suffocated i t ; depiiving detail of its dryness ; and throwing a charm over tht whole which shall be so chaste in its character and its influence, as not to subject the author to the imputation of
