11l almost all instances, the nicely traced origin

iu historical researches it cannot tail to prove that
every event heard of was commenced, through
the instrumentality of man, by the Omnipotent Be

On the authority of Benjamin West, the great
painter, the real origin of our glorious Revolution
and subseduen£*3ndependeiice was the old pal
ace of Bl with whose exceeding
ly homely- architecture the royal lover of fine arts
—the good natured, but weak minded
George lll—was so dissatisfied, that he express -d
a modest wish kj( having a new and more elegnnt
palace built But, alas! his iron chests were found
empty; aodcf course he was sorely grieved. His
chief adviser. Lord North, suggested—what?—a
plan to Impose heavy and oppressive taxes on the
colonists, that his weeping master might reap a
golden harvest for that grand purpose. The good
cing reluctantly consented; and the result —we all
know, and ought' to tkani. him and his hired emis
saries for the consummation of our permanent
freedom, power,land prosperity, unrivalled by any
jther nation! ,
Of the most remarkable revolutions the earth
bos known, the Reformation of the sixteenth cen
tury stands conspicuous tu the pages ol history
Tf-e more steady was its progress from its com
mencement, the foore formidable it appeared to the
Papal See.- Thousands of thousands of brave war
riors of both conflicting parlies perished on their
gory fields—millions of dollars were spent in sus
taining those horrible wars, and hundreds of thou
sands of martyrs were burnt, hung, and inhuman
ly butchered—yet, notwithstanding the gigantic
eilbrwof the Rinnan Church and her powerful
allies to suppress the growth of Protestantism, llie
ball of the Reformation rolled in thundering tri

knowing it^ real character'
On a sujmy day, inVhe commencement of the
sixteenth ceutury, an imposing procession ol Cor
pus Domini was seen crossing the spdeious piaxra
of the. Cathedral of Florence. Its pageantry, with
gold and Sihpr crosses glittering m the "Un, and
anthems ringing loudly and sweetly in the air. in
fused awe and deep veDeralum id the hearts ol the
kneeling faithful, while, standing bchiud them, oib
- era gazed with mule admiration at the gorgeous
spectacle. A little retired from the crowd stood a
man 6f majestic form, looking on the receding tram
with an abstracted expression, bespeaking a mind
wboiiy engrossed by some theme of a nature cvi
denlly diflereot from that ax which he was gating
Though plain, even slovenly in his apparel, his
haughty mien betrayed his noble birth, his head,
colossal in proportion to his body, was singularly
shaped, ana covered with thick black ciiris. Hi*
nose was remarkably crooked, and hia eyes black
and brilliant as a gazelle’s. There was m them, a
mysterious, dreamy light, that seemed to gluten
oat of the depths of genius.
Hia eyes now wandered from the pompous pro
cession to the noble cathedral, and rested on Us
magnificent dome—the master piece of Fitippo
Brnoelleseo; his soul, peuelralmg the eXquiMte
beauty and grandeur of ilx architecture, seeming
to dilate, threatening ti> burst from its osseous pris
on, and his ltp*-'moved in concert with the inner
(workings of hit mind. Slowly from the cupola he

ofhis official character in the smuggling of good*
into the Swedish port WStockholm. In the Daily
Journal, published at Lafayette, Indiana, (the

explanation, lending to remove the stigma winch
otherwise attaches to him. The Journal says'
We have been shown a private letter trow Mr.
Ellsworth, dated at Stockholm, Octot-cr 30, 1 -4
from which we are permitted to make an et
tract that would seem to exculpate him eourely, and
fix upon another the reproach with which he stands
accused. The extract it substantially ui these
words:
“He (says Mr. E., alluding lo a gentleman whose
name is purposely wilhbeldj had the impudence
to forward ail the purchases he made daring his
journey, fo my address; and to expect that I would
reclaim the some, free of duty' Such a collection
was never got together before; sweetmealea, silk
curtains, petticoat*, new linen, maps, and a go-cart ■
for children; earjwls, hams, dour, and perfumery,
contained in about twenty trunks and boxes. My
refusal to aid him, as he bad exjiecled. aroused Ins
avarice, and led him to employ ungentleroaoly lan
guage in a note he wrote lo me. My answer was
conceived and expressed with more feeling than
his own, and admitted of no reply. As soon as 1
received bin communication, l simply answered it
us follows:
“Sir With the assurance that your polite uote of
this morning has received all the consideration it so
eminently deserves, I am, &r_.
-*H. W. Ellsworth.’
“These few words threw him into a most violent
paMioa; and he is welcome to continue it at his
pleasure. My whole action in the matter was right;
anu I have therefore determined to let it stand, with
out any attempt at reconciliation. It is, in fact, a
good 'finale' to the siviesofdisagreeable interviews
1 have had with him.
“3f> much for petty quarrels, which, considering
the person whooftended me, are hardly worth aU
iuding to ”
The Washington letter ofMndependenl," in the

' From Yccatam.— fJefarn of the American Vol
unteers. —The ship Tennessee. CopL Walts, ar
rived at New Orleans on the 15th iu«t, from Si
las, with a detachment of 250 men of the Atneri
can volunteer regiment, which had been disband
ed. The New Orleans Della, of the 14th inst.,
says:
The disbanding of the regiment, in the manner
in which it was done, is disgraceful to the authori
ties of Yucatan. The regiment left this city under
a solemn promise from Governor Barbacbano, that
each private should be paid eight dollars a month,
should receive a suit of clothes every lbre.e mqnlbs,
and, at the expiration of the term of service, 330
acres of land. The regiment was between three
and four months in service. During that lime,
they bad several jjevere engagements with the In
dians, and fronrTekax loTtbosuoo and Yalladelid,
drove the army before them, until they now have
possession of no portion of im|>ortance, except Bscs'
lar, near Belize, Honduras.
The rvgiment was besieged eight days in Tihc
■nco, and during that time was reduced to such an
extremity that officers and privates hod nothing to
eat but cats and dogs. In the several engagements,
the loss in killed was from sixty to seventy, end
from a hundred to a hundred and fifty were
wounded. Although 'continually suffering hard
ships, owing to the salubrity of the climate, but few
of the men fell by disease. After all this, the only
requital offered the men is the paltry sum of ten
dollars each. Barbacbano pleaded the poverty of
the treasury, and CoL White finding there was no
prospect of the stipulations entered into with the
regiment being fulfilled, at once requested that it
should be disbanded, wbicb was at once acceded
to.
We regret to learn that LieuL Campbell, of OapL
Kelley’s company, and LieuL Gallagher, who
were wounded in the battle of tbe 25th December,
died of their wounds, the former on the 33d Janu

The Nashville Whig, of Tuesday, says “there

company was organizing at Little Rock under CapL
McVicar, and another at Memphis, They go all
by way of Fort Smith, from which post a detach

the same destination.
We find upon our table, a copy of a catalogue of
Green House Plants, shrubs, vines, aod creepers,
grown at the Pittsburgh Hedge Farm Nursery, by
W. i Jar. Murdoch. These gentlemen have,
probably, the most extensive nursery in this vicin

something more to say.
U give* us much pleasure to observe that our
