After nu rsling his wanderings for two days the sufferer con tinues as follows: I them, very evident symptoms of approaching weak* [ ness. I frequently heard the sound of voices quite distinctly, and slopped to listen; I whooped! but not a sound in.reply, f The stream murmured on Us bed, the wind rustled amongst the .leaves, or whistled through tho long grass; but that was all; everything else was silent as the grave. In a short time oUor, a most extraordinary illusion occurred. "My attention was first allrocted by distinctly hearing a tune whis lied in the direction of tho river: and, on looking round, I saw through tho trees an Indian, with two squaws and a little boy. My joy at the eight may 1 bo readily conceived : their canoe, I thought, could not bo far off; and 1 already fancied myself scaled m it,' and quietly gliding down tho river. I hallooed! but to my ullor amazement, not tho slightest notice was taken or.rcply made. Tho Indian, with folded arms, leant ogoinsU tree, and still continued to whis lie his tune with philosophic iiidifference.l approach* cd, but they receded, and appeared tosMn mo; Ibc bamo annoyed, and persisted, but in vain, in trying, to attract their notice. Tho dreadful truth at length flashed upon my mind'; it was really no more than I an illusion, and oun of the moat perfect description. Melancholy forebodings arose. I turned away, re traced my slops, and endeavored to think no more of it., 1 had turned my buck upon the vision, but as I retreated, its accompaniment of ghostly music for sometime continued to fill upon my unwilling eor liko a death-knoll; Assort of mirage next appeared to mo to spread over the low giounds, so completely real In its effect, that frequently, when expecting to step over my boots in wolor, I fobnd that I was tread. I mg on long dry grass : to bo convinced of the truth i of which, I frequently fell with my hand. My.first vision was undoubtedly thn, result of delirium trem. ens, brought on by exhaustion; but whether the lat ter arose from (ho same cause, or from real oxtcrnol phenomena, I cannot well determine. I continued my toilsome journey along the alter nately flat and tangled, or precipitous bunks of the river, which, from being now swollen, loft mo ho beach to travel on. 1 crossed a largo brook, which mistaking it for (ho Odell,.led mo to suppose myself a very little way from tho settlement, (in reality' up. wards ol twelve miles off.) I had not advanced a great way further, until 1 suddenly dropped down.— Supposing 1 had merely tripped and fallen, 1 got up, and endeavored to continue my nuroh, but again staggered utid fell. I got up a second lime,and loan, ing against a tree, in tho hope of recovering from what I hud first imagined to bo temporary iudisposK lion, again made several fruitless attempts to walk, until at last the appaling fuel forced ilsulf upon mo, that 1 had really lust my strength; and as any fur thcr exertions of liiy own were now impossible, my ease was indeed hopuloss, unless discovered by some of the parly, who 1 had no doubt were by this time I in search of mo; or, what,certainly did appear im- 1 probable, by some, persons going up the stream to i lumber. Under those ciroumslunbes, I, thought it, best to endeavor to regain the bunks of (ho river; but | owing to my wquk and disabled condition, 1 could scarcely do more than drag myself along on .myl hands and knees, and was consequently overtaken by tho night and a shurpo frost. I took shelter oulilmJ i the roots of a fallen tree, and pulled ofl' ipy boots,for, the purpose of pouring out tho water, and rendering I my feet us dry us I could make them to prevent their be i lug frozen; alter which, my feel being much swollen, 11 found it quite impossible to got them.on again. I lay down excessively fatigued and wo&U ; yol other sen sations of suffering, both, mental and physical, kept mo through another dreary night al'twelve or thir teen hours, in a state which some may possibly con. ooivo, but which 1 must .confess my inability to des cribe. There wqs a'sharp frost during liio night,* against which my light jacket, and trousers were out a poor,protection. On the morning of the Blh .when it W(\s,sufficiently clepr, I discovered that 1 was nut more than a hundred yards from tho bank of the rlv ® r * j l ® n doovorlng to got up, I was unable, and lyund both my foot and hands frozen; tho former as fur as my ankles, felt as perfectly hard and dead as U composed of stono. 1 succeeded however, with a good deal of painful exertion, in gaining the bank of the river, where 1 sot os long as I wore übio with my eet in the water,- for tjio purpose, if possible, of ox tracling the frost.

I raised my head a little from the ground-TT-all 1 could now accomplish—-and look mg through, the alders, 1 saw a party of men and some .horses on the opposite side of the river, and scarcely-a hundred yards distant from where I lay.

Equity would decide In tfiolr favor, but doubts are entertained of the compotency of the Government to recognize debts duo or alleged to be duo, by Xfing Loiiis I'iiilllppo or his children. Among the claimants party whoso demand will, whatever bo its fate, cause some noise. The Spanish Government asks for the. restitution of tho thirty millions of reals which constituted Iho dower of the Duchess of Monlpohsior, and which wue said to bo a principal object with his Majesty Louis Phi. Uppo lu following up his fatal project—the prospec tive possession of the crown of Spain through the marriage of his youngest son with the Infanta Fer nanda Luisa* To this demand the Republic is re., ported to reply—lst, that “the money brought to l her husband by tho Infantawas, as wae-his custom, encafsssdby his i Majesty Louis Philippe,” and that "consequently the claim of Spain was good~nguinst his. Majesty only;" secondly, "if the French nation bo responsible, It (the nation) has a little unsettled account of ninety or hundred millions of francs to set off against tho demand in question, being tho cost of (ho liir-iamed expedition of 1823, under tho command of his Royal Highness tho late Duo d’Angonlomo.— Thus you will, sco the wise and high-spirited and high-principled Government of- Spain, so tenderly alive tu pecuniary obligations, Is likely, by its pursuit of a comparatively (rilling object—a demand liable to bo legally contested,' moreover—to awaken tho 1 recollection of a debt which might possibly have been J suffered to remain due forever.

He marched to death i among the throngqf tho multitude. His punishment j'Wus nolcss than a protracted assassination. His head I baro,|)is hair-cut, his hands tied behind his back with ’an enormous cord, his body covered only'by a shirt, i beneath d freezing sky, he slowly traversed tho quar ters of the capital. The refuse and scum of Paris, whom ho had long restrained,-appeared. to rise and precipitate themselves like n torrent round the wheels. The executioners themselves, indignant at this fero city, reproached tho pcopld willj their outrages, Tho populaco was only the more implacable. The horde had Insisted that the guillotine, generally placed at ’the Place de la Concorde, should bo that day Irons | ported to the Champ de Mars, that blood mightwash out (heblood upon tho .ground whore it hud boon shed. Men who called themselves relations, friends or avengers of the. Champ do Mars, car ried o’flag in i by tho side of a tumbril,at tho end ofu pole. J They dipped it from lime to lime hi the gutter, irnd I violently whipped Bally’s face.’ Others spat in his face. His features, lacerated and soiled with'dust and blood, n$ longer presented a human form. Roars of laughter and applause encour.ogcd these horrors. ■ That march, interrupted at stations, lasted three hours. Arrived, at tho place of execution, these refined men of wrkth made Daily descend from the tumbril, and forced him to make on fool the lour.of the Champ do Mars, they ordered him to lick the ground on which the blood of the people hod flowed. Even this expiation did not satisfy them. The guillotine had been erected in tho enclosure ilsclfuf'Champde Mars. The earth of the federation appeared to the people too sacred to be stained by on execution. .The execution, era were ordered to, take down tho scaffold piece by piece, and to reconstruct it close to the Seine, upon a dung heap accumulated from the sewers of Paris.— The executioners were constrained to obey. Tho machine was dismantled.' As if to parody the pun ishment of Christ bearing his cross, the monsters loaded tho shoulders of the old man with the heavy bourns which supported the platform of the scaffold. Their blows compelled the condemned to drag him self along under this weight. Ho fainted under his burden ; coming to himself, ho arose, and shouts of laughter rallied him upon his oge and infirmities.— They made him look on, during an hour, nl the tardy construction of his own scaffold. Rain mingled with snow, inundated his head and froze his limbs. His body trembled with cold. ’His son! was firm. His grave and placid countenance preserved its serenity. His impassable reason passed above this populace and looked beyond them. He tasted martyrdom, and did not find it more bitter than the hope for which he submitted toil. He discoursed calmly with the assistants. One of them seeing him paralyzed with cold, said to him, « You tremble, Bally.** “ Yes, my friend,” said lie, •« but it is with cold.’*, At last the axe terminated this scene of protracted cruelty. It had lasted five hours. Daily pitied (he people, thank cd tho executioner, and confided himself lo Immor tality.

AVe cannot see how any ono could read this exposition without getting a correct understanding of Mr. Doyle. i For a short lime ho was educated at the expense I of some Protestant gentleman.

THE SLAVE TRADE. ■ Those philanthropists, the British government* prompted by that god of English idolatry, the pound sterling, are talking seriously ip fayorpfreviving the slave trade. They say that all attempts to suppress it ore abortive, and merely multiply, its horrors,.by driving „(he slave traders Into the employment bf smaller vessels, a more scanty allowance of provisions, a denial of all the comforts furnished lo> the slaves, when the trade ,wo« legal* and conducted to large, !convenient, well supplied ships, built and provided for. | the purpose, by by “ the .most respects bio merchants of Bristol and Liverpool, who had character to Jose, and therefore would do nothing, inconsistent with justice and humanity I! I ° So! The speculation has. failed, and all the English cant.about English philanthrophy, and the English indignation agslnsi American slavery, have been thrown awoy. HoWi deplorable is the loss' of so much excellent English goods,” made purposely .“for exportation!” Wo. sympathise with the rabid, onc*idead abolitionists, especially with a little knot.of common slanderers Id this city and Boston, upon their, disappointment about English philanthropy. Ills melancholy, so it Is, Id think how the English philanthropists; to whom they have cringed for years past, and with whom they have united in abusing their own country, are going to revive tho slave trade,—all to make Jamaica sugar cheap! ». , > t These English philanthropists abolished slavery id the West Indies, as a commercial speculation* They, thought that, by elevating tho slaves to the condition of freemen, and thus multiplying thele.-wao<e* they’ would augment tho consumption of “English goodsj)’ and thus, augment the* profits of the “ mother co£r*< try.”' At the tamo lime they supposed that freo blacks would work belter than slaves, and by sog-i. mooting tho crop of sugar, diminish its- price* and ■ thus enable tho English to undersell.the £panisA and Brazilian cultivators. But tho experiment failed; and they discovered that free labor' was dear, because' laborers were source. Then followed the pojecl of, transporting free slaves from Hlndoslan.ie Jamaica. This experiment fulling, they next carried thsjreV captured slaves from tho coast of Africa to the Weal Indies and Deniararui They wefo not slaves there*. O no!’They merely had the alternative .of starving* at Sierra Lcono; or being carried to (he British.colo* flies as free laborers , to work on terms and .prices proscribed by British magistrates, graduated with the purpose of underselling the BraSllllsns*;. This sluvclrnde proving a failure, these are finally driven buck upon tlie good bid (jsuDdof,lht : . legitimate slave trade, of stealing mun,tntoinen oq4 children in Africa, and forcibly carrying them to* Jamaica for sulc, in large, commodious, well supplied ships, employed by merchants of ” the first rcspecta, billty und standing,V patrons of foreign- missionary 'societies, foreign oboltlion societies, and >all otheq sorts of cnnl for exportation.
