. The parents of ,Dolly Payne were na

most respectable citizens of the State.—
Vhilei on a visit to some of her friends in

Id, a young lawyer of Phil
a member of the society .of
wring his lifetime she contin
in the simplicity and seclusion
of that sect, though even then, the, beauty
which became afterwards so celebrated be
gala to attract attention. Soon, however,
she was left a widow, with an infant son.
Aft:. the death of her husband, her father
also. being dead, she returned to reside
with her surviving parent, who had fixed
her residence in Philadelphia.
The personal charms of the young wid
ow, united as they were with manners
cordial, frank and gay, excited the admir
ation and awakened the kind feelings of
all who came within their influence ; and,
unaided by the extrinsic and accidental
advaritages of fortune or fashion, she be
eame a general favorite, and the object not
only. of admiration, but of serious and de
moted attachment. Among many lovers,
equally distinguished by their rank and
talents, who sued for her favor, she gave
the preference to Mr. Madison, hen one of
the most conspicuous and respectable mem
bent of Congress; and in the year 1704
became the wife of that truly great and
good man. From that time until Mr. Mad
ison came into the administration with Mr.
Jefferson, she lived in the full enjoyment
of, that abundant and cordial hespitallty
which - is the 'distinguishing characteristic
of a-Virginia planter.
Mr. Aladison being appointed Secretary
of Stag, removed,- with his- family, from
his-happy home to Washington, in April,
1801.
The infant metropolis of the Union was,
at that time, almost a wilderness. The .
President's House stood unenclosed on a
piece of waste and barren ground, separa
.ted.-from the Capital by an almost impasse
. ble marsh. That building was not half
-completed, and standing as it did amidst
the rough masses of stone and other mate
rials collected for its construction, and half
hidden by the venerable oaks that still sha
dedtheir native soil, looked more like a
ruin in the midst of its fallen fragments
and coeval shades than a new,. and rising
edifice... The silence and solitude of the
surrounding space were. calculated to en
foto°. this idea ; for beyond 'the-;Capitol
Hill, : fat as the eye could reach, the city,
asit was called, lay in a. state of nature;
'covered with thick groves ar,id , A)iout, treen,

And there n house aloag the intersecting

streets: -
The original proprietors of the grounds
on which the city was - located, retained
,their; rural residences and 'their habits. of
living. The new inhabitants who throng-
ed to the •seat of , government; came film
quarter - of the Union, bringing with
• them the modes and customs of then. res
pective States. Mr, Madison from Virgin
' ia, Mr. Gallatin from Pennsylvania, Gen.
Dearborn from Massachusetts, and Robert
Smith from Maryland, were the heads of
the several , departments
of government.
Ths President's house was the seat'of hos
pitality, where -Mrs. Madison' always prod
sided, (in the absence of Mr. „Jefferson's
daughters,) whenare were female guests.

or than withAhe elegance and refinement
of European taste. "The lady of a foreign
Minister was once ridiculing the enormous
size and number of the' dishes' with, which
the board was loaded, and'obServed that it
was more like a harvest hoine'supper than
the entertainment of .a Secretary of .State.
Mrs. Madison heard of this and a similarremark, and only observed - that if she
thought that abundance was preferable to
eleganCe ; that circumstances formed, cus
toms, and customs formed taste andas
the profusion 'so repugnant to foreign' ells
terns arose from the happy circumstance
of the stiperabundtince and prosperity of
our country, she did not
. hesitate to sacri
fice the delicacy of European taste for the
less elegant' but more liberal fashion of
Virginia. The many poor families daily,-
supplied from that prbflisely spread table
would have had reason to regret the intro
duction of European fashion had Mrs. Mad
ison been prevailed on to submit to its dic
tation. ; .
During the eight years that. Mr. Madi
son was Secretary of State; he and his
family lived with the inhabitants of Wash
ington as with fellow-citizens; receiving
and reciprocating eivilitiesin the most kind
and friendly manner. The Srcretary him
self being wholly abiorbed in public busi
ness, left to Mrs. 'Madison the disclicirge of
the duties of social intercourse. And nev 7 ,
erwas a woman better calculated for the
task,---Her quick-- recognitionJor-persons; -
her recurrence to their peculiar interests,
produced the gratifying impression in each
and all of those who conversed with her
that they were especial objects of regard.
__Her house was very plainly furnished,
and her, dress no way extravagant.: It was
only in hospitality and in , charity that her
profusion was unchecked, and sometimes
made her sensible that her income was not
equal to her wishes.
When the term of Mr. Jefferson's presi
dency drew near its close, the spirit of po
litical intrigue which had lain dormant was
again roused into activity. A new Presi
dent was to be chosen, and there were scv
era( competitors for the people's favor.—
Each had partizans, zealous and untiring
in the canvass, who left no means unem
ployed to insure %success. Private` society
felt the baneful influence of these political
intrigues; social intercourse was 'embittered
by party spirit; personal confidence was
so often violated that a degree of cireum
.spection became necessarily almost incom
patible with that frankness and candor
which constitutes the charm of intimate
society. -`
In these trying times Mrs. Madison ap
peared to peculiar advantage. Her hus
band was assailed with all the violence of '
political animosity. In accordance with
liar hucliarura-wiallcs_vha_ continued her
civilities uninfluenced by party politics.—
He believed that when the effervescence
of popular excitement should subside, hos
tility ,would cease. Thus thinking, he,
With unaltered-equanimity, continued his
social intercourse with persons of all opin
ions;the chiefs of different parties met at
his use with perfect good humor; and
the frank and polite attentions of Mrs.
Madison were paid, without distinction, to
all who , joined her social circle. Her snuff
box had a magic influence, and seemed as
perfect security from' hostility - , as a parti
cipation of bread and salt is among many
savage tribes. , For who could partake of
its contents offered in a manner so gra
cious, and retain a feeling inimical to its
owner.
The kindly feelings thus cultivated, tri
umphed over the animosity of party spirit,
and won a popularity for her husband which
his lofty reserve and cold manners would
have failed in effecting. The moment of
decision arrived, and Mr. Madison was de
clared. President of the United States. In
Washinktbn, the day of his inauguration
was a day of jubilee. -
After Mr. :Jefferson fah the city Mr. Ma
dison removed to the President's li6use,
which soon became the centre of a gay
and brilliant circle, and yet of social and
delightful society. In addition to large
dinners every week; a drawing room was
now opened, where the beauty and fash
ion of the nation found the best theatre for
display.
• But this scene of general and individual
prosperity was interrupted by the war,
whicli Spread desolation along our coasts,
and brought ruin and devastation to the
city of Washington.
This is not the place to' discuss the cau
ses of that fatal event. News arrived that
the British forces bad landed forty miles

• TeIF:SDAY, August 23, 1814.
'DEAR BIStER My husband left me

in every direction, and watching with un

was a lack of arms, or of spirit to fight for

to hasten my departure, and in a very bad

The *disastrous events 'which followed
ure too well known to need description,
even if the limits of this sketch allowed of
tho melancholy details. During the re

not to .be true either of the Standard of
.Freedom or of its friends, to whoin we
shall not further 'apologise for saying a few
words as to this interesting people and
what they have achieved. '!
Circassia is a mountainous, lint very
fine and beautiful country, bordering upon
the Black Sea at its . eastern extremity.—
It is also contiguous to the Russian territo
ry lying towards this extremity ofthe Eux
ine, and interposes its lofty mountains and
fertile valleys between the clutch of Rus
sia and those , more loiel and less wild
countries towards the Euphrates and the
Tigris: It is thenim of this ambitious pow- .
or, Russia, to become possessed,:if it can.,
of all the realms contiguous to the Black
Sea, on all sides: On one'side "the Wolf"
has - already laid its paws on the Danubian
provinces, on Moldavia,-Wallachia, and is,
en tliia side, therefore;ltist - adViniCing - to:
wards Constantinople. But before it can
enslave . the tracts lying 'On the southern
coasts of this Sea, it must subdue and pass,
the find people who hold Circassia—a race
in metaphysical requisites, the finest spe
cimen of men now to be found on this
globe, and of courage and activity unsur
passable. Against these noble but unof
fending people, the _Muscovite serfs have
now for many years, been carrying on,
cruelly, bloody but fruitless wars. Xe
quarter is given; and the amount of lives
lost is not known, excepting that,,gcneral
ly, it is very great. It is believed that, ta
king battle, sickness, fatigue, altogether
into account, not less than 200,000 Rus
sian serfs have left their bones' amongst
the wild passes; and this without obtaining
any ground that is tenable. The Czar, in
furtherance of this murderous conflict, tries
to stop all access by sea to CircaSsia4 and
it was because he approached Soudjoult
Kale . (a Circassian port,) that Mr. Bell had
his brig, "The Vixen," captured and con
fisented by Russia, against the law of na
tions.

All - this expense of human blood and
treasure is, however thrown away. It is
now known that the Muscovite hired serfs
have received, at the hands of these noble
mountaineers, the most complete defeat
-thoy--perhora-cyvvreceivcd. --- Their forts
arc captured, and their armies totally rou
ted and annihilated. - But mark the criti
cal time at which this blow of an avenging
Providence finds out their legions. It is
already known that the Czar's interference
in Hungary is unpopular with his general
Officers. This blow will greatly help to
exasperate those feelings. They will now
see before them the prospect either of-an
inglorious and hateful conflict in Hungary,
or- that of it still more hated campaign in
Circassia, which, for years, the Russian
military have dreaded as they do Siberia.
If they perish there,. their very death is
concealed. The Petersburg . Gazette has
not even a sigh for them; and their own
friends are really ignorant of the manner,
of their fate! . But while this catastrophe is
depressing the Russians, it is animating
both the Hungarians and the . Turks .in a
!high degree. The -latter are now threat
! ening the Servians with retribution if they
act against Hungary, to which, in one
point; they are contguous; whilst the Wul
f lachians, animated by the•victories of both,
arc, it; is said, showing such a front as to
induce the Czar. and his tool, Gen.
Duha
mel, to relax their holder the province, in
order not to further irritate France .and
England, at a moment se critical.
Such is the brief exposition - of this af-
Whielt.is

than it ought to be: It has.proved a more
severe cheek to the hungry designs "the
Wolf" (as Palmerston has , well.christened
Russia) than the wolf has littely experien

miles froth its mouth, which runs south
through the western part of the city, and
then turns west and continues that course

-Much of what was formerly covered with
buildings is now cultivated.' This is,par-1
titularly the case with much of. the south
east part within the city wane' and east andl
southeast of 'the Capitoline Hill. Bad air
(malaria) is said to be the cause of the de
sertion of this part of the city. The an
cient hills are still to be fOund, but are by
no means so prominent as they.once were,
on account of the vallies ,having been fill
cd up by the rubbish constantly accumu
luting. In this way the • place of the an
cient forum has been filled up at least fif
teen feet. The land at the base of the
Tarpaian Rock IS so much filled up that
the modern-traveller-is.-prone_to_thinklhat
it would' be far from' certain death to be
thrown from its top. It is not, as former
ly, 75 fact high, with heaps of rocks be
low.. In the northeast part are extensive
gardens,and on the west side of them arc
the residences of the English and Ameri
can inhabitants.
The Palace of the Pope is near the cen
tre of the ciiy. The Church - of St. Peter
is on the west side; it 750 feet long, and
550 feet wide, "and will hold 32,000 peo
ple. It cost $50,000,000. The statue of
St. Peter stands not far distant. It was
formerly a statue of Jupiter, and was chan
ged by one of the early Popes into that of
the apostle by some mysterious power,
without changing its material substance in
the least: Which gave rise to the remark of
the wag, that it was formerly the statue of
Jupiter, and it is . that of Jew-Peter still.—
The report that the great toe of this statue
has been entirely worn.away by the lips
of the Catholics is not exactly true. It is
a Protestant slander. Yet it is true that
the repeated kisses of the faithful for hun
dreds of years have worn it. away consid
erably. No Catholic passes it without
stopping to kiss it. To see poor ignorant
people do sp, that is bad enough; but to
see men of learning and science, and of
cultivated minds, like the Pope and Car
dinals, constantly approaching this image
with all . reveNnce,. and wiping this toe with
their handkerchiefs, kiss it, wipe it again,
and go on their way, is 'quite, beyond en
durance. One can have no patienc.o with
them.—,Dr. Baird.
The Beaver Islands—ten in-number--
lie in the bosom of Lake'Michigrin, in a
bout latitude 45 deg. 50 min., and are be
ginning to attract considerable 'attention,
both on - account of the healthfulness of
their climate, the extent of their fisheries,
and as the Zion or land ofPromise ofa con
siderable body of Mormons, the followers
of Mr. Strang. Big Beaver Island, the
principal one of the group, is 13 miles in
length, by seven in breadth, containing a
bout 50,000 acres of fertile and well-tim
bered land. Paradise Bay forms the prin
cipal harbor, and-is the seat of an exten
sive trade in fish, wood, &c, It is easily
accessible, perfectly land-locked, and suf
ficiently capacious for all the craft on the
Lakes. - Around • this bay the Mormons
arc making their- settlements. • There are
two wood-yards and three Store's iu opera
tion, a steam saw-mill is-going up, and im
provements are commenced - en all the lands
within four miles, 'beside - various com
mencements in ,other locations. There
are now employed in , the' fisheries. some
200 boats and 500 or 000 fishermen; but
the opening of farms, the building of mills,
and the establishment of all the various
branches of business; always found in a
settlement_ of a free and enterprising popu
lation, will -soon leave this branch of busi
ness of comparative non-importance. Good
stocks of cows haYe been brought on by
the Mormons, who are intending to devote
much attention to agriculture, with every
.prospect of success. '..'Notwithstanding the
high latitude, •all the fine grairis flourish,
and-the prospect is that the grazing will
.be of the first quality. •In case they shall

From Paris =Pr date of Friday; P;
M. the correspondent of the ntrtes writes
as follows:
"I have reason to believe that beyond
the information you are already in posses
sion of, there is no further news of the mil
itary operations before Rome.,.: .
The reply to repeated enquiries is still
We are making our hay gradually," and
from, one day to another we expect to hear
something. decisive. The last- accounts
state that a steamer has been signalled ofF
Toulon, but of what tidings she is the bear
er, nothing is yet known, or at least has
not up to half past 8 o'clock trahspired.
The intelligence from Rome bye ordi
nary mail only comes. clown to. the 19th:
It is believed that the military force of the
expeditionary army is likely, to be consid
erably increased. We are UM that over
60,000 is not an exaggerated figure,in case
the discontent or jealousy or fear, orwhat
ever else the feeling may be termed, which
actuates both Spain and' Austria, not to
speak of Naples, should assume a more
unequivocal aspect.
The late victories of - the Ansfririiii veto
much exaggerated ih their first reports.—:
The real facts of the case are as, follows;
The Hungarians having crossed the
Waag on the 10th and 20th inst., sudden
ly made a violent attack on the Imperial;
ists' position, and penetrated even into the
centre of them, and afler a battle of three
days with the two Imperialist armies; the
Ilungarians retreated tg theirfOrine Vsf4i
tions, but not without having, by Their on:
set, done considerable damage to the Im
perialist corps. The Ruisitin General,
Paniutia, was wounded, and the vex) , fact
that the. Austrian bulletins remain silent on
the subject of the "killed and wounded"
and the "captured cannon & teen,"shOis,
that the intelligence which they hove to
communicate on that score is by no means
cheering. The Austrian papers publish a
decree of the Austrian commander-in
chief, Gen. Haynan, in which that milita
ry chieftain states that the inhabittinteof
the borough of Bo Schar Kong having aid
ed and abetted the Hungarian insurgents
in their attack upon the brigade of Generi
al Wyes, he (Gen. Haynan) has ordezed
their town to be burnt and annihilated, &
that:this order was executed on the 21st
instant.
The cholera and typhus fever continue
doing their work in the Imperialist armies.
Our - correspondent informs
_us that 300
sick soldiers (none of them wounded) were
brought into Vienna from Oldenburg on
the 24th inst. The unfortunate ,Hungari
an hussars, that attempted to desert frorri
the Imperialist standard, and return to
their own country, have as many of them
ns were captured suffered a cruel punish
ment. Their leaders, three noncommis
sioned
officers, were killed on the spot.—;
Seventeen young recruits were sent to the
Italian army, and the rest, of seventy,
were decimated. Seven were shot on the
23d inst.
CONSTANTINOPLE ) June lA—The Porte
has refused to comply with the imperative
demand of Russia for the passage of 80,-

sian envoy, in virtue'of his instructions,

respectful; but arm and unyielding, to the
Emperor.
