THE IjESCJJE.
In the autumn of 1777, when Lord
Howe had possession of Philadelphia, the
situation of the Americans who could not
follow their beloved commander, was tru
ly distressing. Subject to the every day
assaults of cruel and oppressive foes
bound to pay obedience to laws, predica
ted on the momentary power of a proud
ml A
and vindictive commander it can better
be pictured than described. To obtain
the common necessaries of lite, (particu
larly fiour,) they had to go as far as
Bristol a distance of eighteen or twen
ty miles and even this indulgence was
not granted them, until a pass was procu
red from Lord Howe, as guards were pla
ced along Vine street, extending trom the
Delaware to the Schuylkill, forming a
complete barrier; beyond these, through
the woods, extending as far as Frankfort,
were stationed piquet guards thus rcn
dering it in a matter impossible to reach
the Bristol Mills, unless first obtaining a
pass.
" The commander in Chief of the Amer
ican forces was then encamped at the
Valley Forge, suffering from cold,
hunger, and the inclemency of the tea
son. The British rolled in plenty, and spent
their days in feasting, and their nights in
balls and riots, and dissipation, thus rest
ing in security, while the American chief
tian was planning a mode for their final
extirpation, a poor woman wuu m.
small children, whose husband was at the
Valley Forge, had made frequent appli-
cation for a pass. Engagements rendered
it impossible for her cruel tormenters to
give her one. Rendered desperate from
disappointment, and the cries of her chil
dren, she started alone without a pass,
and by good luck eluded the guards and
reached liristol.
It will be remembered by many now
living thrt six brothers by the name of
Loale or Doale, about this time commit
ted many acts of heroic bravery, but
more in the character of maranders than
of soldiers. They were men full six
feet high, stout and active, and they al
ways succeeded in making their escape.
A marked partiality to the Americans ren
dered them obnoxious to the British, and
r.lways welcome to the former, to whom
they conveyed what information they
could in their adventures.
Our adventurous female, having procu
red some flour in a pillow case holding
about twenty pounds, was returning home
with a light heart to her anxious and lone
ly babes. She had passed the piquet
c-uards at Frank ford, and was just enter-
in the woods a little this side when a tall
stout man stepped from behind a tree, and
put a letter in her hand requesting her to
read it. She grasped with eager joy the
letter bearing the character of her hus
band's writing. After a pause he said,
"your husband is well, madam, and re
quested me to say, that in a short time he
will be with you; money is a scarce arti
cle among us I mean among "them; bu1
on account of your husband's partiality
to the cause of liberty, I am willing to
become his banker. So saying he han
ded a purse of money. "My means are
adequate or I would not be thus lavish,"
she was about to refuse it.
"You said my husband would see me
shortly, how do you know that which
seems so impossible? And how do you
know me, who never "
"Hush, madam, we are now approach
ing the British guard; suffice it to say,
the American commander has that in his
head which like an earthquake, will shake
the whole American continent, and ex
punge these miscreants; but hark, take the
road to the left farewell."
So saying he departed. She gave one
look, but vacancy filled the spot where he
stood. With slow and cautious step she
! annrnarhrd Vine street. Already her fire
burned beneath her breadwhen the awful
word "halt" struck her to the soul. She
started and found her self in the custody
of a British sentinel. "Your pass wo
man." "I have none, sir; my children
are" "D n the rebel crew, why
do you breed enemies to your king this
flour is mine off woman and die with
your babes. A groan was her onl)r an
swer. The ruffian was about departing,
when the former messenger approached
his whole demeanor wts changed; tum
TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 2 2846,
ble simplicity marked his cait he ap

proached the guard with seeming fearful
ness and begged him in a supplicant
voice to give the poor woman her flour.
"Fool! idiot!" exclaimed the guard, "who
are you? you see yonder guard house,
if you interfere here you shall be its in
mate, "May be so sir; but won't you
give the poor woman the means of sup
porting her little family one week longer?
Recollect the distance'she has walked the
weight of the bag, and recollect.'
"Death and fury, sirrah! Why bid
recollect? You plead in vain begone,
or I'll seize you as a spy.
"You wont give the poor woman her
flour?"
"No."
"Then by mc country's faith and hopes
of freedom", you shall!" and with a pow
erful arm, he seized the guard by the
'throat and hurled him to the ground,
"Run, madam, run see the guard house
is alive seize your flour, pass Vine
street and yon are safe." 'Twas done.
The guard'made an attempt to rise and
when the stranger drew a pistol, shot
him dead. The unfortunate man gazed
around him with a fearless intrepidity.
There was but one way of eseapc,acdrthat
through the woods. Seizing the dead
man's musket he started like a deer pur
sued by the hounds. "Shoot him down!
down with him!" was echoed from one
to another. The soldier was lost in the
wood, and a "general search commenced;
the object of their search flew like light
ning; the main guard was left behind, but
the piqued would soon be alarmed one
conre alone presented itself, and -that
was to mount his horse, which was con
cealed among the bushes, and gallop down
to the Delaware: a boat was ready there
for him. The thought was no sooner
suggested than it was put in execution.
He mounted his horse, and eluding the
alarmed guards, had nearly reached the
Delaware.
Here he found himself headed and
hemmed in by at least fifty exasperated
soldiers. One sprang from behind a tree
and demanded immediate surrender.
"Tis useless to prevaricate; you are
now our prisoner, and your boat is in our
possession." "Son of a slave ! to a king!
how dare you address a freeman! Sur
render yourself a Doale never 'surren
dered himself to any man, far blinded pol
troon a way or die,' and he attempted to
pass. The guard levelled his gun; but
himself was levelled to the dust; the ball
of Doale's pistolhad been swifter than
his own, His case was now truly des
perate; behind hiin was the whole line of
guards- on the north of him the Frank
ford piquets, and on the left of him the
city of Philadelphia, flilled with British
troops.
One way, and one only, presented it
self, and that was to cross the river. H
knew his horse; he plunged in a shout
succeeded; and era he reached half the
distance, twenty armed boats were in
swift'p'ursuit. His noble horse dashed
through the Delaware; his master spurred
him on with doubled interest, while the
balls whistled around him. The tide was
running down, and when he reached the
Jersey shore, he found himself immedi
ately opposite the old slip at Market
street. On reaching the shore he turned
round took out a pistol, and with a steady
aim, fired at the first boat. A man fell
over the side and sunk to rise, no more,
lie then disappeared in the wood. The
angry, harrasscd, and disappointed pursu
ers rave one look, one curse, and returned
to the Pennsylvania shore, fully believing
that if he was not the devil, he was one
of his principal agents.
TIio Oeaf and Dumb Asylum.
The annual Report of the Directors of
the Pennsylvania Institution for the Deaf
and Dumb lor 1845, is received,by which
we learn that although its funds are wax
ing low with well-doing, its prosperity
and usefulness are active and onward.
In the course of 1845, twenty-five deaf
mutes were admitted, and as many dis
missed. There are at present in the in
stitution one hundred and six, 5G males
and 50 females. Of the whole num-
her:
70 are supported by Pennsylvania,

Of those admitted into the Institution
during the year 1845, 15 were born deaf,
and 9 became so from incidental diseases.
The Directors regret the. frequent ne
cessity of refusing to admit applicants for
want of funds in the treasury. We trust
this will be speedily remedied by our be
nevolent countrymen.
The pupils sent by New Jersey, Dela
ware, and Maryland, are limited to five
years mstuction; whereas six at least
should be granted.
The terms of admission are one hun
dred and sixty dollars per annum. For
which sum every thing necessary is pro

Institution, boarding, lodging, washing,

FOREIGN INTERFERENCE.
lexican and Central American
A flairs.
On several distinct occasions we have
been called upon to allude to the designs linV1;-. . .
of Europe upon this continent, and more : In this connection the fodowing para
particularly upon Mexico and Central graph, wnich nrst made its appearance in
America. That there is some project on "Ll Lnparcial, a periodical of the Isle

we sneak, .it intervals loom through the j thirty ships of the line, which are cn
. .
invsterv which surrounds the councils of
cabinets, and frequently plainer visions
are had in developements of startling
consequence.
It was more than bin ed in the Eu
aopean press, after the consummation of
the Texas movement, that a scheme had
been agitated in the English and French
cabinets to place one of Louis Philippe's
sons on the Mexican throne, The fail
erc of European diplomacy in the matter
of annexation was subject of taunt across
the English channel, and in replication to
a charge of duplicity against the French
cabinet, the English were sneered at for
having discountenanced the continental
plan for preserving the interests of Mex
icoincluding Texas. In the course of
this mutual crimination, the project leak
ed; but before this, intelligent travellers
from Mexico frequently informed us that
emissaries had travelled through the cen
tral states of Mexico to feel how the pop
ular pulse would beat under a regal rk
gimf.. Latterly this proposition has been va
ried, and new ones mooted. The idea of
reducing the Mexican States to colonial
dependencies upon old Spain has met with
favor in many quarters; the proposal of
the Bourbon family has a again been dis
cussed; and a triple alliance between
France, England and Spain, for the di
rection of Mexican and South American
affairs, proposed and considered. That
some one of these plans, or some other
equally objectionable, has not been settled
upon before now, is, we apprehend, ow
ing to difficulties the contracting parties
met with in adjusting the terms of the al
liance cf partitioning the booty to be di
vided. The negotiations failed perchance
in arranging the "Balance of Power" in
America a doctrine or rather .a princi
ple of oppression which our transatlantic
guardians would graft upon American
politics. They have, all of them, one
cardinal object in view, the crippling of
the just influence of the United Slates in
their hemisphere but in reducing the
measure of opposition which each should
contribute to that end, and the amount of
plunder each should receive in turn, to
fixed and determinate quantities, it was
not surprising that jealousies between
themselves should have hindered or de
layed the negotiations. Hence it may be
there is yet no plan absolutely agreed up
on for the reduction of the Mexican and
Central American Republics.
However this may be, whatsoever the
actual condition of the compact, the main
object of the Governments concerned is
being continually enforced. In the re
cent revolution of Paredes, we behold
one developement of the European
league. The prospect of a renewal of
friendly relations between the United
States and Mexico was seized upon by
foreign emisaries as a topic to influence
popular passion. The soldiery and rab
ble were aroused and supported by mis
sionary demagogues and adventitious con
tributions. The expedition of Paredes
was put on foot at San Luis Potosi, and
the rebel banner was first unfurled in a
district especially under foreign influence.

to be so humiliating as to render the in

powers mean to give effect to the pro
jected movement. I- indulges forced ;.r.gs
cf ulterior purposes on the part of the in
terveners, and winds up with a flourish
of patriotism and valor.
Th? publication of articles like these
in one department of Mexico, and their
reproduction in others, without comment
prove that the conspirators think it time
to fimiliarize the public mind with the
idea of European succor, followed by a
European dynasty. We have before
stated that the schemes bruited have been
unfolded in convenient places by adepts
of the mcnarchial party. A system ot
proselytizing has been privately but pcr
severeingly pursued, as wc have reason
to believe, in a majority of the States, and
every new revolution has been improved
by the very persons who assisted in get
ting it up, to enconrage the belief that
nothing short of a Monarchy, with Euro
pean alliances, could secure the integrity
and internal qniet cf the country.
In this posture of American affairs,
does it befit the United States to remain
passive ? S hould the weakness of Mexi
co serve any longer as an excuse for in
solence, especially as there is good rea
son to believe her contumely is prompt
ed by stronger powers ? It would seem
that nothing was wanting to convince
every mind that peace will never be re
stored as long as the United States e
vinces a tolerance of the present state of
quasi-war. It is capital for demagogues,
revolutionists, and forign intriguers. Ha
tred of Americans is becoming a constitu
tional feeling in Mexico, whilst French
men ar?b;tter received, notwithstanding
France and Mexico have been at actual
blows within a few years. A proper re
dress of injuries nd insult inspires re
spect; and rcsprct is the precurser cf in
dividual and national friendships. The
sufference of the United States under re
peated indignities, has inspired the Msxi
cans with contempt as -well as hatred of
us, and Europeans receive her admiration
whilst we get her gasconade. This is no
longer harmless. It is doing positive and
continual hurt. It is exciting, day by
day, a greater and more inveterate dislike
of the United States amongst a near peo
ple, and in territories becoming a thcatn?
on which the problem whether European
or American rule shall sway th destinies
of the Western continent will be deeded.

north of Magadore, near the' main land.
At 4 o'clock on the morning of the 7th,
she was quite full, and the sea dashing
over her deck. At 5 o'clock the chim
ney fell, and killed several persons. At
half-past 5 A. M., M. Moray Monge, tha
French Consul at Magadore, was washed
overboard by a wave, and immediately
disappeared. A few moments afterwards
M. Dicul. second-lieutenant on board,
met with Ihe same fate. Several person
then threw themselves into the sea to lay
hold of the spars, tc., which were con
stantly being washed from the wreck, or
to try to gain the shore by swimming.
The greater part of them sank to rise no
more. Some few, after the most despe
rate efforts, reached Azimour, a village
three miles to the north of the wreck.
Tncy fell in with some Moors, who in
stantly came to their relief; one of thtrrt
gave his burnous (cloak) to M. du Bour
dieu, commissary at Gorce, and who had
embarked as a passenrer on board th
Papin. Some camels, laden with bram
bles, having arrived, the Arabs kindled a
fire to warm the unfortunate shipwrecked
passengers. At 11 o'clock A. M., the'
persons who hid succeeded in reaching
the shcre amounted to 30. Tne main
mast, which had continued standing until
that time, although the'Papin was divided
in two, fell, and in the descsnt either
crushed to death or carried overboard not
less than 30 persons. The Arabs dis
played, upon this occasion, as much cou
rage as humanity. In less than two hours
they succeeded in bringing off 44 per
sons, carrying them upon thair shoulders,
and swimminjr with them through a vtry
heavy sea. Ot 151 -persons on board th
Papin, 76 only remain to tell the fearful
tale.
Sew Agricultural VTrlnlil.
A funny story is told of an old friend
of ours one who, sick and tired of the
care and bustle of a city life, ha3 retired
into the country and "gone to farming,"
as the saying is. His land, albeit well
situated and commanding sundry roman
tic prospects, was not so particularly fer
tile as some we have seen required sci
entific culture and a liberal use of guano
of some sort to induce an abundant yield.
So far by way of explanation.
Once upon a time, as the story-book
sav, our friend, being on a short visit to
the, city, was attending an auction sale
down town, and it so happened, they
were selling damaged sausages at the time.
Thrre were some eight or ten barrels of
them, and they were "just goin at fifty
cents per barrel," when the auctioneer,
with all apparent seriousness remarked
that they were worth more than that to
manure land with. Here wa3 an idea.
"Sixty-two end a half," said our friend.
iJust going at sixty-two and a half third
ane last call gone," retorted the auction
eer, "('ash takes them at sixty-two and
half per barrel."
To have them shipped for country
seat was the immediate work of our
friend, and as it was then planting time,
and the sausages, to use a common ex
pression, were "getting no belter very
fast;" to have them safe under ground,
and out of the way was his next move
ment. He W3S about to plant a field cf
several acres of corn so, here was just
the spot for his new experiment in agri
culture, thi3 new wrinkle in the science
of geoponics. One "link" of iausaga
being deemed amply sufficient, that a
mount wa3 placed in each hill, accom
panied by the usual number of kernels cf
corn and occasional pumkinseed, and all
were nicely covered over in the usual
style. Now, after premising that several
days have occurred since the corn was
planted, the sequel of the story shall be
told in a dialogue between our friend and
one of his neighbors.
Neigbor. "Well, friend, have you
planted your corn !"
Friend. "Yes, several days since.
Neighbor. "Is it up yet 2"
Friend. "Up! yes; up and gone; tha
most of it."
Neighbor. How'3 that?"
Friend. "Well, you see I bought a
lot of damaged sausages in Orleans the
other day, a smooth-tougued auctioneer
saying they would make excellent ma
nure, if nothing ehe. I brought the lot
over, commenced planting my corn at
once, as it was time, placed a sausage in
each hill, and
Neighbor. "Well, and what?
Friend. "And felt sati?fisd that I had
made a good job of it. Soma days ago I
went out to the field to see how my corn
was coming on, and a pretty piece of
business I have made of trying agricultu
ral experiments.
Neighbor. Why, what wa3 the mat
ter?" "
Friend. "Matter! the first thinr I
saw, before reaching the field, was the
greatest lot of dogs digging and scratch
ing all over it! There were my dogs
and your dogs, and all the neighbors' dogs
besides about three hundred strange do",
