On a visit to Brussels; in 1837, after examining;
many objects which that pleasant capital offers to
- the notice of strangers, my companion end I turn,
ed our steps towards, the Chamber of Deputies.H
The building is extensive, and occupies three sidee
of, a square, the fourth being open towards thel
parks. There is a large marble court in fmntl.'
Which forms a pleasant promenade ; but in one
corner of it, and somewhat marring the statelineo,
of the scepe, I noticed a common little wooden ,
dog-kennel, which I supposed to, belong too watch
dog. Humble as was this little tenement, it wai
connected with an incident, of which I had the
following history from my loquacious conductress'.
"'Here," shesaid, " in this piece was the
0 severest
fighting in the revolution of 10 ; for several
days after the battle, the ground was red with.
French and Belgian blood." .
Just pen a shaggy-looking dog, somewhat re;'
sernbling a large terrier, but, us I thought, an uglY
specimen of his race. walked slowly towards psi
He lookedgood-natured, and I stopped to pat biro:
" Ay," said the old woman,. madame, you may
„ caress him now with Eatety. as he is not on thf,l
spot." What spot?" I inquired; and in reply
she told me the iollowing anecdote . . "In the rea
volutionary army that assembled to oppose the
Dutch, who invaded our. city in. the month of Sept
tembee, -1530, Was a young French ofiieer, who'.
wherever Le AM, was followed by the dog you see r ,
The poor lad wai,in the thickest of the fight on the
fatal 2lst, and fell, covered with wounds, on a spot
which L will show you."
She led me towards the centre of the court, but
the, dog 'went before, and lay down near a smooth
stone; looking up at us with an expression of fierce
defiance in his eyes:
"Ah I poor fellow!" said the old lady ;" we're
not going to disturb you. Don't go near hirh ?
madame, while.he's there, this was the spot where
his - rnaster:s body lay, and he sat beside it, licking
the bleeding wounds: At length, it was removed
for burial, but the - dog followed it, and stayed be;
side dip grave three days. At the end of that
time he returned here; and lay down where you
see him- now,.growlin" savagely, and attacking
- any who; tried io dislbcrge, him. Some of the peo,
ple about beat him withsticks, and drove him
away; the next day he returned, and
. was again'
cruelly hunted oft. When he came back for a
third time-, he wal worn to a skeleton with fatigue
and hunger, arid looked as if lie would never risel
. again from his master's death place. Illy husband
and.l.hed gene away a while, or we would not
have =suffered the creature to be ill-treatei; bat,
bile of the directors, who is a very humane maii,
chanced to pass by just as a rabble of boys were
preparing once more to torture the poor faithful
dug. He immediately dispersed them, and .having
inquired into the circumstances connected with!
the animal, he ordered that he should never tie
tnolested; the!. the kennel which you see should
he built , for hien; and procured a small sum to lie
allowed weekly fot his maintenance. Ile soon re,
'covered his strength, and you,may,see by his rip
fearatice, that he is taken cote of. Indeed, he ,is
well known in the town; and the little masters
. and misses that play in'the park, delight in bring
ing sweet cakes, of which he. is very fond;
howeVer, although they know very:Well that he i is
as.gentle as a lamb while he is walking up and
down, they must never attempt to touch him when
lying on his chosen spot—from which, indeed, he
.'never stirs in any direction farther than about one

• , Tue Post charges, or rather states it to he the
faCt, that the Whigs of New York united with the
Anti Renters. The Whigs of New York never
forced any Such union. They despise Anti Rent
isth as they do all lawless clans and classes of peo
ple. The Post, too, talks of the horrors of " Fed
eralism," and that when the Organ of such men as
Blichanan, Ingersoll, Bancroft, Hall, and a host of
ultra Federalists, who would have been "Tories in
the Revolution, and whoif .they'had " a drop of
Democratic blood in their vein's, would have let
iti out."
I `jCjm The above is taken from the Gazette of yes
eray morning; and is intended es a reply, in
.r 7 . 4/1, we presume, to our article in Tuesday's pa
per, beaded "Progressive Democracy." That ar
ticle was elicited by the appearance of a long and
eFceedingly discursive article in the Gazette; and
tte supposed that its editor was ready and willing
tp undertake the defense of the old Federal doc-
trines embodied in the article to which we then
referred. From the appearance of the paragraph,
Which we now copy, however, he virtually aban
dons his position; and we are therefore left to con
elude, that he finds he has taken a position deemed
c
trnpolitir, by his political associates in this region;
, f lout which is warmly sustained by,most of his po
)itical friends in the New England and Middle
"States; and likewise by many west of the Alle
glienies. We commend- his prudence. The mass
of the' people are not, in any part of our country,
disposed to sanction the position which;he took;
and if he expects to exert any influence Oer the
t minds of a Western community, he should at least
?s, strive to make it appear that the party with ;which
• acts, regard the - wishes of the masres, and be
-Ihe
~.,=' •:. ve that they are capable of self-government
'F==the people may be deceived into the support of er
ror, under the guise of truth ; but they will not
sustain it, when its true character becomes known.
The editor of the Gazette tells his readers; in
this little paragraph, that the Whigs of New York
never formed a union with the Anti-Renters ; and
•i that a they despise anti-rentism as they do all law
less clans and classes of people." We asserted
that the Whigs of New York did unite with this
1 faction; and if the Whigs - of other parts of the
country thus condemn "all lawless clans" it is well.
`lt is what we are pleased to hear; and what we
trope they may always do. But the first effort of
the Gazette was to identify anti-rcntism with the
"Progress of Democracy." This faction has n
local existence; and we have only referred to it as
a local affair. We charged the Whigs of New
York with sustaining it—uniting with it—taking,
that which, the Gazette says, they so' much "de
spise, to their embrace. How far are we sustain
ed in this statement? Let our readers judge
The Hon. Silas Wright, then Governor of New
York, and being again before the people for that
high and important office; was questioned by a ',or.
tion of the people of that Sta te, respecting his 1
views on the subject of Anti-Rentism, and the
course. which he would pursue if again elected
Governor. He plainly and frankly replied, that it
was a atibject which, under existing circumstances,
he would hate nothing to do with, so far as it res
pected a sanction of the course of anti-renters.—
That, the objects which, they professedly aimed at,
were attainable only through the ballot-boxek;
that there were certain laws in existence, the via -1
lation of which must take Place, if they proceeded
as they had been doing; that he was sworn to exe.
cute those laws; and that he must do his duty.—
He gave them, in short, to understand, that the
anti-rent faction met with no sympathy from him.
Mr. Young also was required to express its views
tipon this subject—he being then the Wig candi
date for Governor ; and in doing so, he took espe
cial pains to speak upon the point in such a way .
as to satisfy the anti r renters that they need not
expire Without hope. The contest came on ; and,
although New York has been almost uniformly
Democratic, and was then, and is now, as much so
as ever, Mr. Wright was defeated by a large vote ; '
and Mr. Young received the support of perhaps
every anti-renter in the State. Before Mr. Young
carne into -office, a number of- these " lawless "
anti-renters had murdered an officer of the State,
while in the discharge of his duty; they were con
victed of such a crime as led to sentences for long
terms in the State Prison When Mr. Young took
his seat as Governor, these criminals, (having had
assurances given to 144,, friends that the - thing
should be done,) were pardoned, and turned lease
upon. he State, to go and aid the other portions of
their "lawless clan" in dealing injury, insult, and
personal violence to old men and unguarded wo
men. This was done by a Whig Governor, who
had not only refused before the election, to con
demn the anti-rent doctrines ; but who had express
wed himself in just such a,manner as to secure the
Whole anti-rent vote; and the pardon of these.eri
rninals follo • wed his elevation to office, as speedily
asthe most indifferent regard'to common respect
for the authoritywhich had condemned them would
allow.
All this may not amount to proof, to the mind
of the editor of the Gazette; that the Whigs of
NM- Irct;Yli iflitnnite with .the Anti-Renters. .1.1
!wry . be the strongest possible :presumptive proof
which we can other; tO his mind, that the DeMo:
cram id:unue with-lhemi and that the Whigs
..despise Anti-Rentistn, as they do all lawless clans,
and classes or peoplel" We say all this may be

the case, sojar as the editor.of the:Gazette is con.
cerned . ; huk , we feel perfeCfly4ittisfied that it will
not be so viewed by the unprejUdiced and reflect

'Which nian . ever wasp we have seen enough
of mankio to conchide, that it 'ls the part
of true wiedom to enquire—not what a man scar,
or what his grandfather was before him; hitt
judge of him as he is; and determine the merits of
his present,, or his past acts, by their effects upon
society. That is neither the midst- generous nen
yet philisdphical reasoning, which leads a man to
conclude that, because another may have acted
imprudently, or. rashly, or even 'dishonorably, at
one period of life, he hi, always accounted impru
dent, and i•ash, and dishonorable_ This kind of
reasoning May do for the full.groWn and thorough
bred disciples of old Hamiltonian Federalism, but
it will natier be recognized as true by the believers
in, and addiocates of a Progressive Democracy.
The Federal papers of this city yesterday mor
ning contained the following notice:
The friends of the Hon. Daniel Webster, now ou
his Soutl#rn Tour, are requested to meet at the
Odeon, on next Moriday afternoon, the e 24th inst.,
at 4 o'cloCk, for the purpose of inciting this great
statesman to visit our city, on his return home.
To this call is appended' some fitly names, all
of whormare true blue " Democratic Whigs." It
is generally understood that Mr. Webster will re
turn honie through the west, and by the Lakes ;
but as a matter of common courtesy; the Whigs
of Pittsburgh could not decently avoid extending
an invitation to him to- visit this city. There is
no man, in the opposition ranks we would like to
see honored more than Mr. Webster. He has at
all times been the honest and faithful exponent of
the trueininciples of the Federal party. His edu
cation, liabits, associations and feelings, peculiarly
fit him o be the champion and leader of that par.
ty: IlOas never abandoned his principles—he
has never proved treacherous to his political friends.
To sure, he clung to the fortunes of Presi
dent Tiler for a long time after the "Captain
had beet, forsaken by the federalists; but as soon
as lie gat the North-Eastern Boundary Question
settleh to, the satisfaction of British friends, did
he noqeo'instanter, bid a long farewell to Tyler
\Webster is one of the intellectual giants
of thifopposition. The consistent, unadulterated
feder4sts, honor him probably more than any
otheaman in their tanks. They woutil rejoice
to se4iim seated in the Presidential chair; and
t h Cie* no doubt but that they will make every
efrorpn their power to bring about a " coltsurn
mai* so devoutly to be wished." We should
like#l see and bear Mr. Webiter. It matters not
tc66vhether he is traveling for the benefit of his'
heialiia, or for the purpose of seeing the minlityl
weWor with the intention of paving his way to!

The late news from this country, (for which we
are.indebted to the N. Y. Tribune,) is very inter
esting; and the condition of the cantons is such as
to eseite.the sympathies of those who are more
favored, throughout the world. The potato crop
of last year was an entire failure ; and the restric
tions upon the importations from other countries,
only tend to make the condition of the people
more distressing. Their condition is said to be
but little better, in the mountain cantons, than that
of the Irish.

he will be sustained by the Gustace•Adolphus
Union and the Bible Alisshinary Society:
A military enthusiasm has also broken out in
Switzerland, a band of 800 young and vigorous
men, among whom are some of the most distin
guished Swiss officers in the Swiss forces, have
offered their services to the American Government
through the Amerii?an Consul at Basle. They
will enlist for the :Vlexican War, whether it last
for fine or fifteen years, and then settle in Califor
nia as a military colony. Many have wives and
children, and are menibers of very respectable
Swiss families.
The weather, on the 13th of Aprib, was still
very cold and rough. Snow fell at Basle to the
depth of a foot and the prospect in the gardens
and fields was very gloolny. Wheat was $3 a
bushel; flour 9 cents a pound ; and potatoes were
scarcely to be had at any price.

An Instme Asylum.
We understand the Inspital Board meet to-day,
an we hope they will consider the propriety .3 1 1
establishing, as soon as possible, an Asylum fur
persons afflicted with Insanity. As an example of
the treatment of those unfortunate beings who
are laboring under this terrible disease, and with
out the means of being sent to charitable institu
tions elsewhere, we will mention a fact Which was
related to us yesterday. A poor boy, who was a
drummer fur one of the Pennsylvania regiments,
and who, under aberration of intellect, deserted at
New Orleans, and returned to this city, is now in
carcerated in the same cell of our .-aunty jail in
which Reidel committed suicide the night before
he was to have been executed for murder,—the
walls of the cell yet bespattered with the blood of
the two-told murderer, and the blanket with which
he strangled himself, after having cut open his
veins, yet in the cell! Alas, poor boy! your fate
is certainly a hard one! It is horrible to 'think of
what this unfortunate boy may suffer, with his
ordered imagination picturing him, night: after
night, the ghost of Reidel, , " shelf ing his gory locks"
at him! It would drive a sane person mad to be
placed in that cell.

Pittsburgh and Connellsville Railroad.
, At an adjourned meeting of the Stockholders,
held yesterday afternoon, at Philo Dail, Mr. Josara •
HANNA, from the Committee on that subject, re
ported the advantages of a Western Railroad, and
on motion of E. D. Gazzarn, Esq , (after various
conflicting propositions were -bid on the table,)
the meeting adjourned to the ,21th inst., in purse
since of the request of John P. Eennedy. Esq., of
Baltimore l holding out expectations of accomplish
ing a plan of communication by Railroad between
Baltimore and Pittsburgli."
Pittsburgh and Baltimore.
The Baltimore correspondent of the Washington
Union, under date of the. Fith inst., states it as a
rut beyond dispute, that) ; the Directors of the Bal
timore and Ohio Railroad' Company, on that morn
ing, by au alrubst unanimous vote, decided on fin-
ti,e road 'o the Maryland line, about fifty
five miles fiom Cumberland ; and that they reject
ed the proposition from this city for a renewal of
negotiations for a connexion tiith the Connells
rifle road. This, he thinks, settles the point' with
reference to Pittsburgh.
Mr.Curret SD ALE and Miss TAT Lon make their
appearance to-night in some of their favorite char
acters, They are both highly spoken ol ; and we
trust that the
duly
of our worthy Manager to
please, will be duly appreciated. We were in for
a short time last night, and saw Leonard putting
the large audience in a roar, with his represents:
tic;ns of Irish character.
cCr It is estimated that the decrease in the cot•
ton crop of this year, compared with 1546, will
be about 20 per cent. while the increase in the ag-
gregate value will be about 16 per cent. The de.,
crease in the number of bales will be nbout to per
cent. and the increased price per pound is estimat•
id at 80 per cent. The whole crop of last year
is set down nt 2,000,000 of bales, while it is esti•
mated for this year at 1,800,000. Lnst year the
average price was Sic. The estimate for this
year is 12.ic.
cO 5 A letter from London, of April-12th, states
that there will immigrate to Western Virginia,
during t h is season, a large number of persons who
will at once enter upon thecultivation of the soil.
One of the societies organised for this purpose,
has the amount of $.20,000 with which they will
purchase land.
(0 The N. 0, Delta says, that Lieut. "Lamy'
Melte, who was aid-de camp to Can. La Vega,
and is a son of the late Gen. Mejia of Mexico, is
now spending his parole with his mother, who re•
sides in that city: He is a brave young man ; and
will no doubt be treated kindly by the peopleof
the Crescent City.
aj.Tht New Orleans Delta, of the oth instant
says that the brig Lima, left that port on the 7th,
for Cork, with n cargo valued at $14,000, for the
suffering Irish. This is the second vessel whMh
has been despatched from New Orleans with sup
plies for that codntry; and, besides this, there has
been remitted to our Minister in London $15,000
for the same object.
azy. Thore was a breach madoin the lei , ee on the
Algiers side of New Orleans, on the Bth instant,
which occasioned much damage to the buildings
and furniture in that part of the city. The Delta
thinks the injury would be repaired in the course
Of the succeeding day. The water of the MiSsis.
sippi was very high.
We neglected to state yesterday, that Lieut.
ROWLEY, of the Pittsburgh Blues, has returned

DESPATCHES FOR THE POST :
BY ELECTRIC
,_TELEGRAPH,
IMPORTANT PROM ItEr.xtco.
By Telegraphic _Despatch last night we received
information that Mr.' &Ana . ; U. S. Consul at the
City of Atexico, had arrived at Arew'Orleansi Who
stated that the American prisoners , were still con
fined in the city. , will-no doubt furnish
to the Executive some important information on
his arrival at the Seat of Government.
HEAR Hut!—He of the. Berwick Enquirer, is
finding out a thing or two _He says :
"It is rather remarkable that nearly alt the
large number of children born this year in this
place and vicinity are males. rThe old ladies tell
us it is attributable to the existing war, and add
further, that when the children born 'are mostly
girlit it is a Sign of a great season for peas."
Just think of that! Boys and war—girls and
peas I We would like to understand the physio—
logical analagy between these two latter articles,
Very strange, indeed! But we suppose we must.
admit in this, as in many other cases, that " there
are more things in heaven and earth than are
dreamt of [even in our]'Alosqpbyl"
GALES.—There was a great gale in Longisland
Sound on the evening of the 13th and morning of
the 14th, which compelled_sorne of the New York
steamboats to put back into port. It was thought
that there had been much damage done
,to the
small craft in the Chesapeake Bay—the gale being
vciy violent there. The steamboat Columbia,
from the City of, Washington to Baltimore, being
compelled to.lie to, at Piney Point r for nearly 60
hours. The Norfolk boat was alsolletained great
ly beyond her usual time.

meted with the Menagerie in New York, who can
perform several pieces of music on tcu instruments
atone time---each instrument performing its dis
tinct and full part. He is a German, and is said
to be the first who has ever performed such a.fcat
in this country.
120 -Both of the Steubenville papers state that
the Telegraphic wires will be taken through that

Rank Avis—Death of a Real Jim Crotc.—There
has resided in a house in Eyemouth for the last three ,
years a very singular crow or common rook, which I
might truly be called the !oinking bird of the poul
try yard, for so exact was he in hisimitations of
the cries of the various domestic birds with
which he associated, that no one could distinguish
them froM the originals. Mazy a visitor at his
owners house was startled and amazed at hear
ing proceed from below his chair, t the quack,
quack, quack of the duck—cackle, cackle of
the hen—the calling together ot the' chickens
—ti e cooing of the pigeon—and the caw, caw,
I caw of the crow—when all the time nothing
could be seen except the latter named gen
tleinan in black, sitting lvith great composure, and
evidently much satisfied with his own extraordinary
vocal powers. But alas! poor fellow, his hit act
of mithickry cost him his life. While imitating
the crowing of a cock, a large game bird of that
,species, either taking it tor a challenge or an in
sult, or perhaps both, flew upon him, and, strange
to tell, tore out his tongue, the offending member
of the rook. We need not tell how much his
death has been lamented by those wii,o knew him
i and'admircd his wonderful powers. ':.
(Bmpirk (Efig.) Adyrrtiser
POWEIt or lstsori.r.A.TlON...-..The influence of
the imagination on the nervous, system bus on
some occasions produceih.effects bordering on a
state of insanity. The following is. a case in
point :
"-A few years since, Elijah Barns, of Pennsyl
vania, killed a rattlesnake in his field, without any
injury to himself, and immediately put on his son's
waistcoat. both being of one color. He returned
to his house, and on attempting to button his
waistcoat, he found to his astonishment that it
wee too small.' His imagination was now
wrought to a high pitch, and he instantly con
ceived the idea that he had been bitten imper
ceptibly by the snake, and was thus swollen from
its poison. He grew suddenly Very:ill, and took
to his bed. The family, in great alarm and confu
sion, summoned three physicians, and the usual
remedies were prescribed and administered. The
patient, however, grew worse and worse every min
ute, until at length his son came -home with his
father's waistcoat dangling about him. The mys
tery was instantly unfolded, and the patient being
relieved from his imaginary apprehensions, dis
missed his physicians, and was restored to health."
jThe Vera Cruz Eagle estimates the number
of men which will be required to garrison Mexi
co, in the event of a peace not being acquired, at
forty-seven regiments, or 40,000 men, to be sta
tioned as follows:—One regiment at Tampico, one ! ,
in Vera Cruz, two in Jalapa,six in Puebla, sixteen
in Mexico. three in Victoria. one in Matamoras,
three in Oajaca, th ree in Guanajuato, three in
Zacatecas, four in San Lois Potosi, three in Du.
ramp, two in Chihuahua, one is Saltillo,- and five
in Guadalajara.
- The expense of maintaining this army, the edi
tor sets down at $15,000,000 per annum. He es
timates a revenue from tae new tariff of $13,000-
000, and recommends the imposition of a direct
tax on the towns in our possession of $7,000,000 ;
thus leaving a surplus in the treasury instead of
. drawing from it.
lie further estimates, if permanent possession
should be kept of the country, that the sale of the
public lands, by encouraging immigration from the
United States and Europe,-would annually amount
to more than one-fourth of the above sum.
A relic of thc past.—A few days ago, while some
workmen were engaged in tearingdown a building
in New Brunswick, N. J., occupied, in his lifetime,
by that eminent jurist, Judge Patterson, tine ofthem
found the following card:
The President of the United States and Mrs.
Washington request the pleasure of fudge and Mrs
Pattcrsons' and Miss Pattersons' Cempany to Dine,
on Saturday nest at 4 o'clock, 0 May, 1793. An
answer is requested."

bold hand of Washington himself,—Balt. American.
