Vast ns is the period j am! singular ns are the changes of -European, h story since the Christian era, JuUen still continues to be the west interesting portion of the world. A mong other purposes, it;may be fui;."tlie pur poses ut fixing, the general eye upon tliis ex traordinary land, that it has been periodically visited by a more striking succession of great public calamities then perhaps any pthef‘re gion-’ With less to attract an: invader than any other conspicuous land of the Hast; it has bifen constantly exposed to invasion.— Its ruin by .the Rinnans in the first century did not prevent.its being assailed by almost every barbarian, who, in turn, assumed the precarious sovereignty of the' neighboring Asia. After ages of obscure, misery, a new terror came in a Saraoean invasion,,which under Amron.on the conquest of Damascus, rolled oh Palestine,, A siege of four months, which we raayW’elJcori cciveto, haven bound ed in horrors, gave Jerusalem'ihtu: the hand's of Kaliph Omar. On the death of Omar, who died by .the usual fate of Eastern prin ces—the "dagger—-the country was left to the still heavier mis-government of the Moslem viceroys—a race of men essentially harjinii an;, and commuting their crime for their zeal ' in prpsleytism. , The people, of course, were doubly tormented. A new scourge fell upon them m the invasion of the Crusaders, at the beginning of the 13th century," followed by a long succession of bitter hostilities and public weakness. After almost a century of this wretchedness, another invasion from the Desert put Jerusalem into the hands of its old oppressor, the famous Saladin, expelling the last of the Christian sovereigns, took possession of the Palestine. After another century of tumult and severe suffering, oc casioned by" the disputes of the Saraccnn princes, it was visited hy.»gstill more formi- 1 dable evil ,in tho shape ol the Turks, JLlten wjiolely uncivilised —a nation in all the rudeness and violence of mountaineer life, and spreading blood and'fire through West ern Asia. From this date (1317,) it re mained under the dominion of the Ottoman, ' ~ until its conquest a few years ago, by that most extraordinary of all Mussulmans; the Pacha of Egypt—a dreary, peri&d of 500-. years, under the most desolating govern ’ meht of the world.- , It is equally impossible . to read the scriptural references, to the fu ture.conditions of Palestine, without discov ering .a crowd of the plainest and most powerful'indications, (hat it shall yet exhibit a totally different aspect from, ihat of it's pieseiif state. Enthusiasm, or even (he natu ral interest which jive feel in this nation, may color the future to us too brightly; hut unless language of the most solemn kind, uttered ■on the most solemn occasions, and by men ■divinely commissioned for its utterance, is. wholly unmeaning, we must yet look to some powerful, unquestionable, and splendid display of Providence in favor of the people of Israel. Hie remarkable determination of Europe an policy towards Asia Minor, Syria, and Egypt, within these few years; the not less unexpected change of manners and-customs, which.seemed to defy all .change; and the. new life infused into (he stagnant govern ments of Asia, even by their being flung into the whirl of European interests, look not unlike signs of the times, -it may be no dream, to imagine in ■ these phenomena the proofs of some memorable change 'in (he in terior of things—some preparatives for that great providential restoration of which Jeru salem will yet he the scene if not the centre; and the Israelite, himself the especial agent »f those high transactions, which shall make Christianity the religion of all lands, restore (lie dismantl||l beauty of the earth aiid make man, what he was created to be—only “a little lower than the angels.” The statistics of the Jewish population are among the most singular of all people. Un der all their calamities and dispersions, they seem to have regained nt'nearly the same amount asin the days of David and Soloman,- never much more in prosperity never much less, after nges of suffering. ‘Nothing like this has occurred in the history of any other race; Europe in general having doubled its population within the last hundred years, and England nearly tripled hers within Jhc last century;" the proportion of America being still more rapid, and the world cruwd ing in a constantly increasing ratio.- . Yet the Jews seem to stand still Tn this .vast.atul general movement. /1-lie popula tion of Judea, in its most palmy day:, p.rctr ably did iiot exceed, if it reached,, four mil lions. The.numbers who entered Palestine from the wilderness were evidently hot itiu'ch more thati three; and.their census ac cording to the German statists, who are gen erally considered to be exact, is now' nearly the same as that of the people under Moses —about three millions. "They are thus dis tributed ; " v: " • In Europe, .1,516,000, of .which about 658,000 are in Poland and Russia. ,■ ■ In Asia, 738,000 of which 300,000 are in Asiatic Turkey. in Africa, 504,000, ill which 300,000 arc in Morocco..

The scenes of woe and misery 1 experi enced during this dark and dismal night,-in my progress over the field of battle amidst the carnage of the day, will never be effaced •from my memory. , The groans and screams of (he dying and wounded constantly struck my car, ns also the piteous wailing’of the wives, daughters, fathers, or sons of those who had fallen, or the cries of others in search of their missing relatives. With these heart-rending sounds were often mixed the wild execrations of tljc dying, who were attempting to repel the ma rauders who came for thc.purpose of plunder and rapine. . ■ \Ve_ found many bodies of our own sol diers in a perfect stale of nudity, which plainly evinced they had not escaped'those indignities offered to tho dead and dying by the profligate followers of a camp. , Our; enemies' were treated 'in the same manner; the wretches, who' wandered over the fields in search of plunder spared neifher Iriend nor foe when there, was a prospect of booty. We rescued a considerable number’ of the. Wounded from this lonely .death, the most terrible to the imagination; but several ol them had fallen victims to the cowardly assassins.or the inclemency of the weather before we could afford them rcscue.or- relief. The ground was soft clay," which had been saturated by the heavy rains, and trodden into a'quagmire by the passing anil repassing of men, animals, and carriages, a misty, drizling rain fell incessantly, and these cir cumstances rendered' our toil 'exceedingly difficult and tedious. We had to wait a c on siderable time for (he return of the palnn-' quins from the field-hospital, whither our wounded were conveyed; so that thq.morn ing dawned ere our task was completed.'' The scene-which I witnessed in the hos pital was scarcely less, harrowing to the. feelings than those in the field. Dr. A. and] the rest of the stall' employed all that skill and ; eirergy could suggest for the relief of the sufferers. I saw them perform several very difficult operatiuns and amputations, and especially one on Lieut. H. whose-knee was severely shattered. He sustained the operation with unflinching courage, but ex pired soon after it had been; completed.— Few, indeed, of those who received gun-shot wounds survived* for the -fractures were generally so extensive as to bring on lock jaw. ’ Many young aspirants for military lame, dazzled by the “pride, pomp, and circumstance of glorious war, 4 ’ would have their ardour sadly damped by witnessing the scenes on the field and in the hospital c Mahcdpoore Crossing the JOelatvarc.

It was on a December’s night (would he say) when our little,heart-broken army halted on the hanks of the Delaware. Unit night was dark, cheerless, tempestu ous,;,and bore a strong resemblance to our country’s fortunes. It seemed as if Heaven and earth had'eonspired for our destruction. The clouds lowered—darkness aiid the storm came on a pace. The snow and the hail de scended, healing with unmitigated violehcc upon the 1 supperless, half clad, shivering soldiers; and in the roarings of .the flood, and (he wailings, of the storm, were heard by fancy’s car the knell of our hopes, and the dirge of jiherfy.'- , The impetuous river was filled with floating ice: an attempt to cross it at that tiiqe, and under such cir cumstances, seemed a desperate enterprise; yet it was undertaken, and thanks be to God AVashington, it was accomplished. Troii where'we landed on the Jersey shore to Trenton was about nine miles, and on the Avhole liner of march there was scarcely a word uttered, save by the officers, when giv ing some order. We were'well nigh ex hausted, said lie, am’l many of us frost-bitten, and the majority of us so badly shod.-that the blood gushed from opr frozen and lacer ated (eetat every tread; yet upbraided not, complained not, hut' marched steadily and firmly, though monrnfolly onward, resolved to. perseverp 4« the nttenhosf, riot for our. country—our country, alas!- we had given .up/or lost.

Our opinions have undergone no change: our indignation hb [abatement. Mr. Glent worth has been the miserable t 00l of corrupt party politicians who Knew- his venality and pi ice; regularly bought him;.fbr 'politi cal purposes, and paid Him by giving him the place of tobacco inspector as the price of infamy—forgetting (hat by this, movement they committed themselves, and made their slax e and tool for the present, their master for ahe future, and placed in his bands a scorpion lash, with which.lie could-severely chastise them, if at any. time thereafter they sought to break '‘the ‘honorable compact,” " express or implied. True, it may not be brought home to the higher powers or (he “elite” Of the parly, but ’unless, somethin*' was rotten in the w hig administration"ranks would lie dare to threaten them' with public exposure and disgrace.if they, removed him from office? .Would they‘submit to be taunted by the creature .they had made un less they'knew they, were in his power?

We give the conclusion ol Ins ajldress to the Jury, and we commend it to the sober consideration of the people— partisans or not, it is patriotic anti correct; and as we have never blindly followed in the wake of the parly in their Imursof gloom and despondency, so we will not now bend helore (belli when they a re fin shed withpoliii cal success.
