• We regret that want of, space prevents usfrom in
serting, entire the eloquent address made by Gen.
CA:SS at the meeting of the ArUcrieans in Paris, on
the occasion of the death of the Lite President.
The style of this Address is marked by the frank
ness of a soldier and the warm offecticiii of a friend.
We are inclined to think ; that Gen. CASs takes too
much notiee.of,the calumnies uttered by the political
opponents of Gen. Ha naisoN in this country daring ,
the heat of an 'excited canvass. Few persons of in
telligence ttelieved them.' But it may be that Gen.
Cass, anion; a foreigrijieoplo and knowing that
such charges had reached the ears of the French na
tion, who mig e lit ascribe to them undue importance,
(alt himself bound to refute them by a more elaborate
vindication than he would have deemed necessary
at home. It is not to be I,irgutten, moreover, that the
official organ of Mr. Vac Britex's administration
dealt out those slanders with unceasing virulence and
pertinacity.. Of the Address we can only give some
extracts which marserve r as specirner;;sof the whole.
-Most of you have come here to manifest your re
gret at the death of a - Chief Magistrate. • But I have
come, not only to pertorn, that duty, but to mourn
the loss of a private frierid. It is more than forty
years since I first knew him, and almost thirty since
I Was admitted to his friendship and confidence. I
have served under hiui in War, and with him in
peace, and tie% er, dUring the long interval of our ac
quaintance, did a single incident arise to disturb fur
a moment the harmony, of our intercourse. I can
speak of him trot I an intimate knowledge of his con.:
duct,. his character, and his 'principles ; a knowledge
' acquired in the perilous scenes of an active life, where
the heart of a man is laid open, and where, with the
heavens above us, and the forests around us, conceal
ment would have been es impracticable, as it would
have been useless. '
Ile was disititerested,yliCrous, honest, sacrificing
his conduit to that of others, ceaseless in his atten
tions to duty, pwisionatelLdesirous of promoting the
interests of his country, and formed by nature to ac
quire an ascendancy uver those around him. How
wonderful are the vissitudes of life. Little did he
think, little could I have thought, when tokether we
were exposed to the perils and sufferings of a frontier
war, and when night and day, I witnessed his trials
and exertions, that I should ever be called upon in
this metropolis of European influence and opinion, to
defend his pothumous fame frpn the attacks of his
own countrymen. But sc it is, Ad I shall discharge I
the duty. While ho lived, he was himself fulls
competent to the ,task. It did not become any one
to push himself forward, as a volunteer, and to claim
the privilege of applopriating to himielf his cause.
But he is beyond the reach of calumny, as, he is be
yond the power of correctjng, it. His friends may
now act, each upon his own responsibility. His
1 memory ,is dear to me; and I eagerly embrace this
upportUnity of rescuing it, from various charges,
which either originated, or were revived during the
late Presidential canvass. And lam the more free
to do this, because I know, the anxiety he felt upon
the subject. He would h4tve been unworthy of his
high position, had he been indifferent to it. Anti'
through a common friend he communicated to me
the wish, this: I would prepare a narrative of the
battle of the Thames. But the request, and the com
pliance, a ere, after his elevation to the Chief Magis
tracy, and every generous mind wilt understand,
vi by J•could nut then give as free a scope to my
feelings us now. My narrative was confined to the
loos, which indeed when related as they Occurredo
, are sufficient to jUstify the General from all osper
stuns cast upon him,' respecting. the. , occurrences
of the day. .But my feelings and opinions I could
\not freely disclose: such a course in our relative
titestipus, would have been unacceptable to him, and
I unworthy of me. But death has snatched him from
his high place, and I do not fear to be mistaken, now'
when 1 propose to give full course to the dictates of
my heart, and to say of him in the tomb, what I
would not say of hint in life.
GEN. C.iss in the course of his Address gives a
clear and lull narrative of the circumstances prece
ding the battle of the 'Thames, including the pursuit
of l'itocTit a . Having remarked that Major Wool)
and himself had gone to reconnoitre the , enemy's
position, when the two armies were in close neigh
hOurhood just before the commencement of the action
he proceeds: '
I do ,nut recollect that I wirer conversed with Gen,
Harrison upon this branch of the subject, but I have
alWays supposed that the precise information com
municated to him by Major_ Wood, induced the
c hange - which he made in his disposition for the at

vance of our mounted force) he had intended to at:
tack the British troops by his , line of infantry, and
CO throw hie - horsemen farther into the woods, with
orders to turn the 6ghtflank of the Indians. What
I know, I will briefly state. Shortly before the com
mencement of the action, Gen. Harrison redo up to
me, and remarked that lie thought of changivg his
dispositions fur the attack, and of ordering the noun-
Led regiment of Col. Johnion to advance , upon the
British line, and to endeavor to pass thrOugh it.. l•
observed, that, the manceuvers, if successful, would
be decisive, but that there were oljections to it, which
had nic doubt occurred to him, and which Mould ren
der the effort a hazardous one. We briefly discussed
these, and terminated by remarking, Col. Johnson
thinks ho can succeed, and I believe he will, I shell
direct him to make the attack.
Having communicated hiifinal orders, Gen. Har
rison placed himself in front of the line of infantry,
and immediately, in the 'rear of the mounted regi
ments. It was his proper position, where he could
bast observe the projected operations. Col. Richard
M. Johnson, with what gallantry, it needs not that I
should say, led the left division of his regiment,
which was opposed, partly I believe, to the regular
troops, and partly to the Indians, and which was out
of the sphere of my personal observation. His broth
er Col. Judea Johnson, led the right which was de
stined exclusively to attack the British line, and all,
his operations passed ditectly before and arcnrid me,'
for I accompanied. (as a spertatr) his command, in
their charge.
Such was the relative position of the hostile forces,
when the signal for the attack was given. The
mounted regiment placed between our lino of infan
try, and the enemy, put itself in motion, breaking in
to columns of companies, arid thus advancing upon
the British regular troops.
When they had approached suf f iciently near, they
received a fire which occasioned a hesitation, and
some confusion in their rank's, but soon recovering,
they precipitated their movements, and encountering
a second, and a third discharge with great gallantry,
they found themselves upon the enemy. But then
the contest was over. We paksed through the Brit
ish lino, the soldiers throwing down their guns, and
separating into small groups, thought only of a
prompt surrender. In the meantime, the line of in
fantry was advancing, but it had little more to do
than to secure the prisoners, except indeed toward
the swamp, where the resistance of the Indians was
much more vigorous, and where the contest was
much longer Maintained.
During the rapidity and excitement of the move
ment I lost sight of the Commanding General, but
he passed through the British line, and I believe be
tween the direction which I took, and the edge of the
swampfor I encountered him immediately after, ri
ding over tie field, and giving the necessary collets.
I He directed me to take a party of mounted men, and
pursue the fugitives, and particularly to endeavor to
overtake the British. General, who was said to have
commenced his flight, at the commencement of the
action. The fact is\scarcely credible, but it was as
serted by the British OBicers. I was upon tie point
of obeying Gm. HarrisOu's 'Hem, when the tiring
augmented upon cur left, indicating that the Indians
were making a formidable resistance. The General
then directed me to wait a few minutes to ascertain
the result of the action, and immediately rode to the
point of contest, to take such treasures as might be
necessary. Alter a short time thetiringAiminished,
and gradually died away, till nothing was heard but
chance shots I then set out with a small detach
ment in pursuit of Abe fugitives, and passed through
the Moravian Towns, continuing my route till dark
when we were compelled to return, not having suc
ceeded in our principal object, and having picked up
only a few soldiers who had escaped from the field
of battle.
To this narrative, I have little more to add. I
have no patience to deal with the charges of cower- '
dice and imbecility, with which the fame of a gallant
soldier, was tempted to be attarnished during life, and
which may affect his memory, now he is gone. No
one who served with him, could mistake this point
of his character. I have seen him in many tr)ing
circumstances, where I could not be deceived, and
his coolness, and self-possession never forsook him
for a moment. An instance of his firmness, I may
say rashness, presents 'tsar at this moment to my
memory. The bridge over one of the deep tributary
streanis of the river Thames, had been destroyed by
the enemy to impede our approach, and a large bo
dy of Indians was in the surrounding woods, to pre
vent us from repairing it. The work was commen
ced under the immediate' direction of Gen. Harrison,
a ho sat calmly upon his horse, overlooking the ope
rations, and exposed to the bullets of the Indiana,
appreciating the value of his life, I entreated him to
retire, offering to remain and see the work executed.
But hi would not listen to me. He did not tell me
why, but I knew it as well as if he had told me. I
read his thoughts in the surrounding circumstances.
His army was new, officers and soldiers, suddenly
collected from various parts of the
__country, and
it was essential that , their General should acquire
their confidence. He considered the example of
more importance, than any risk he may have felt he
was encountering,
As to the charge of military incapacity, it is in
singular contrast, with the history and scenes of Gen.
Harrison. He who lived in the field tor nearly three
yca.-s, engaged with the enemy, under the most diffi
cult and perilous circumstances, who was never de
feated, and possessed the confidence of almost all
around him, it is now ascertained wits wholly une
qual to his task, and was in fact an imbecile. It it
were so, with excellent opportunities fur observation,
I had not capacity enough to make the discovery. It
has been reserved for later years. Without arroga
ting to ourselves any claim to extraordinary discern.
nient, I still think if such had been the true charac
ter of Gen. Harrison, among the thousands who
followed him to the field, some would have been
found to proclaim it and call for his removal. I con
sider it no compliment to be told, that the man I
respected, the General I had full confidence in, the
friend to whom I *as strongly attached, was as u'ri
-1 worth; of all these sentiments as he was of the rank
ho attained. No, it is not so. He is gone whore
my praise or censure is equally indifferent to him.
But never while I live shall I cease to regret him-, or
to hear testimony to the purity of his principles, to
the ardor of his patriotism, to the value of his servi
ces and to the high qualified which command the re
spect of all who were brought into contact with
him.

Tili TEMPERANCE REFORM.—Messrs Wright and .
pollard, from Baltimore, a,!dreszed the People; last
evening from the steps of the Centre Market. We
listened. as we did on a formeioccasion, attentively,
and should but poorly discharge our duty in failiLg
to approve heartily of their t (Torts, and to urge upon
our citizens the importance of an immediate sr.d
earnest co-operation wifh these Philanthropists %Ylici,
in our judgment, are commissioned to do great good.
Messrs Weight and Pollard have been inebriates.
,They were for years, and until society cast then% out,
habitual Drunkards. We need not add that while
they were spending their wages for Rum, their Pam•
ilies were destitute. But they are now sober, re
claimed men. The wages of their labor now goes
to comfort and support their Wives and Children.—
And grateful for the blessings which they enjoy as
ti Reformed Drunkards," they are abroad with the
benevolent intention of imparting these blessings to
others. In this they have been and must continue
to be successful. They ore mere of fine talents,
whose powers and faculties are warmly embarked in
this cause. They speak with all the earnestness and
eloquence that zest and philanthropy can inspire.
And they speak with prodigious effect. No Drunk-,
ard, if a ray of reason is left to him, can resist the
force of the tremendous truths which these men ut
ter. Wetiave never before Seen the loathsomeness.
of Drunkenness painted with such appalling fidelityt.
They speak what they have experienced. It is a
voice froth the Grog shop—La warning from the Gut

Man, (says Mr. Wright,) is the only created be
ing that tails to answer the objects of its Creator.
Man was endowed With intelligence, placed erecl
and designed for noble purposes. And yet man, by
intemperance, sinks below the animal ere:4lon. Man
with Rum in him, is not only bereft of his
but lacks the instincts of the brute creation. Min

Poor, unhappy Henrietta! I sighed, as I convul

my emotion, touched me with his elbow, and said—

‘. this beautiful monster would furnish materials for

I could have annihilated the impertinent puppies.
At last the curtain rose—what was acterlGodknows.
The audience laughed. I ground my teeth
in agony. I several times thought of making a bolt
for the door, but an irresistible power chaired me to
the spot where my devoted victim presented herself..
Cold drops stood upon my brow—but 1 remained.
The play was over, and my tormentors recommenc

'• For my part," said one, I think it not at all
unlikely that this poor thing in some lonely walk at
nights tumbled upon a ghost. Have you read the

I made no reply.
"He surely 'Must b able to tell us something

I shrewdly guess that this young maiden owes
her white hair to some cross in love, to sume—"
In a paroxysm of despair I seized the hand of the

What effect this outburst of my angUish-this
involuntaiy confession of ray w!-ongs to Henrietta-r

on my auditors, may well be imagined ; but luckily
for me, at this moment the orchestra let loose its
thunder—all that noise and fnry,'signifying nothing,
that characterizes modern music, and the curtain
rose again. But what fictitious sorrows—what
love, treachery, despair, could vie with mine ! My

young and handacime lady, whose simple and altnosi'
wretched attire formed a wide contrast to her distip

parisian Attorney.
"Sir," said she, I have come to implore youi
assistance—if you withhord it, death will be my on

marry M. do R—, and &taught Ixim-a dowry or

most miserable being in the world.' My husband.
who is jealous, brutal, passionate, miserly, makes me
endure.every imaginable torment; far six months he
has kept me confined in a room, of Which he bad the
key, end where he alone had admittance, in order to
bring me coarse and insufficient food. Yesterday
evening I contrived to effect my escape ; I have spank
the night in wandering wherever chance might guide
me, and I have now come to you; with your 'assist
ance I shall certainly- obtain a separation.",
All this is exceedingly serious," replied M.
, and if your statement ie correct, I make no doubt
of success ; the sePoration twill certainly be pronoun

o Ala! sir, I shall owe you more; than my !So ;
must confide to you all my immediate troubles ;

anything with me. Thanks' to you, I shall certain

reside in ply house ; my wife will, I am sure, imme

you way require. Take confidence, and it will go

The attorney found himself overwhelmed with a
torrent of thanks. On the same day, thp innocent.
unfortunate, and persecuted lady took uji her abode
in his house. She was furnished in abundance
with all that was necesasry to complete her toilet;
linen, shawls, gowns, and even jewelry. The fol—
lowing day the young lady had decamped, with all
the fiarapherria'ia. Meanwhile the attorney, who
having drawn up his declaration was desirous of ob:
taming further information, madoinquiries with re
spect to M. de R who, to his great surprise he
learnt, was txecedingly rich, and had a young and
handsome wife, but the latter, happy in the love and
kind behavior of her husband had never dreamed of
complaining of him.—English paper:
