The fair val leys of Italy will be devaatated by fire and sword; and the Iron hand of war will fall heavily upon the peaceful and helpless. It seems to as that Bouthey's famous lyriq "the Bottle of Blen heim,- will be good reading this morning, and we therefore print it : • It was a summer evening; COW Kasper's erotic was done, And he before his cottage door Was sitting in the sun; And by bin; sported Q 0 the green His little granchild Bbe saw her brother Peterkla Roll something large wad round, Which he beside the riralet la playing there, bad found; Ile came to ask what be bad found, That was so large, and smooth, and round.

"I and them In the garden. For there's many here about; And often when I go to plough, The ploughshare turns them out; For many thousand men," said he, Watt vials it that pest eietary.."

When Paine was writing his *famous at tacks on the Christian reGgies. be subenitted • part of his maguseript to Dr. Franklin for his inspection and opinion. The following is the answer of that philosopher and patriot: Dela Sts-1 have read your manuscript wide some ateentioo. lity the argument it contains against a particular Providence, though you allow a general Providence,you strike at the foundation of all religion. - Fur without the belief of a Providence that takes cognizance of, garde, and guides. and &yore particular persons, there is no motive to wor ship a Deity, to fear its displeasure or to pray for its protection. I will not enter into any discussion of your principles, though you seem to desire it. At present I shall only give you my opinion. that, thong) your rta.ocinge are subtle. and may prevail with wine readers, you will not succeed so as to change the pa eral sentiment' of mankind on the subject, and the conserinences of printing this piece will be, a great deal of odium drawn upon yourself, mischief to you, and no benefit to others. Ile that spits against the wind spits is his own face. But were You to succeed, do you imagine any good will be done by it? You yourself may tind it easy to live a virtu ' oils life without the assistance afforded by religion; you bave a clear perception of the advantages of virtue, and the disadvantages of vice, and possess a strength of resolution sufficient to enable you to resist common temptations. But think how great a portion of mankind consist of weak and ignorant man and woman, and of inexperienced, inconside rate youth, of both sexes, who have need of the motive. of religion to restrain them from rim, to support their virtue. and retrain them in the practice of it till it becomes habitual, which is the great. point for its security.— And perhaps you are indebted to her original ly, that is to your religions education, for the habits of virtue upon which yon nowjust ly value yourself. You might easily dis play yobr excellent talents of reasoning upon a lees hazardous subject, and thereby obtain a rank with our most distinguished authors. For among MS it is not necessary. as among the Hottentots. that a youth, to be raised istu the company of men, should prove his man hood by beating his mother. I would advise you, therefore, not to attempt unchaining the tiger. but to barn this piece before it is seen by any other person, whereby you will save yoarself • great deal of isiort!fication from the enemies it may raise against you, and perhaps, a good deal of regret Itbd repent ance. If men are so wicked vial religion, what would they be if walkout it/ I intend this latter itself se a proof of nay frien dship, and therefore, add no prefeesioN to It; but simply subscribe, yours!.

A correspondent of the Castors, in giving some reminiscences of the old c.)unty seat called "The Cottage," in Hanover county. Virginis, gives an account of General Wash ington's suit to and rejection by Mary Carr: Her father was Wilson Cary, Esq., of "Cc leys." in the county of Elisabeth City, de scended from the noble family of Hudson, in England. His relative, Col. Archibald Cary, of "Ampthill," in Chesterfield, was at his death the heir apparent to the earldom. The worthy old gentleman seems, from all wo know of him, to have been as proud as the Ce=or the Somerset" ; and to hate t his the noblest in the land.— - ITeli;ed in great state, with chariot and horses, plate and velvet and embroidery—a worthy of the old school, fully satisfied with the i'order of things," and enjoying serenely the good gifts of Providence. His beautiful daughter was a great heiress, and had many suitors-=the accident which befell one of them has made her remembered in many books. ' He was a young NUR of very . high Ammeter. ardstiraef Geo. Wm. Fairfax, Esq.. who Bred at Belvoir, on the Potomac ; and hare he met Miss Cory, who came to visit Mrs. Fairfax, her eldest oster.. The young at ones preetieded to fall in lore, labials he lid 'lrish an ardor characteristic of his na ture. When Miss Cary went back home to "alley's," on James giver, he followed her like a 000rageoas gallant,sud laid open siege to the fair fortress. In the good old times, however, something more was necessary , than the consent of the young lady ; and so the youth defy asked a private interview with the awful old lord of the manor. who listened to him silently throughout. When the lover had finished'. Mr. Cary rose, made him a low bow, and said that if this were young Mr. Washington's errand at "Coleys," his visit bad better terminate ; his "daughter had been accustomed to rids in her own chariot." And with this allusion to the poor condition of the younger son, the interview terminated. Young Washington bowed and turned away, and in due time married Martha Dandridge Custis. who "reseMbled Mies CITY," NIP my entisoritv. "as vetch as one twin sister ever did snottier." But the old tradition does not ell here.— Many years fled away—Mary Cary was Mrs. Ambler--and her discarded suitor was the man who had just received the sword oft:3om walls at Yorktown ; whom the whole civilised world bailed as greatest among the great— " the foremost man," not of America, but "of all the world." Hs passed through the old metropolis, Williamsburg, et the bead of his victorious troops, and the people we crazy with joy 7 and adoration almost. vast mrdtitris nearly prevented his b from proceeding—the ealen statue as bersebeek passed in serenely . . Allat once he parented at a window, or in the crowd. his old (ova, Mary Cary. He raised his sword and salut ed her profoundly. She fainted. But it does not seem that the lovely woman was to blame. She had not bees able to re turn the affection of the youth—that wan all.— She married him who won her heart, Edward Ambler. He was not unworthy of this noble lady in rank or in character. Ile was de scended through his mother from the grimt. Huguenot house of In Roche Jaqueline, in Vendee, and inherited the honest instincts of his race. At twelve be bad been sent for his education to &mitred; he graduated at Coinbridela, sad then made the grind tour of Europe. returning to Virginia when he was twouty-one. lie was married to Miss Cary soon afterward; became Collector at York. and was so much respected that when lord Bottetourt came to Virginia as Governor, he brought a letter of introduction to the Collar tor. He died at thirty-five; and the /foredo tienery War breaking eat loon afterward. his beautiful widew moved sway from the scene of her grief, and took refuge in the "Cottage," far up in Hanover. Revolutionary An/adages. At the battle of &dew Springs. the follow ing ludicrous incident occurred. The Ameri cans had pursued the English so closely that they had taken refuge in a brick dwelling. orbiLs in their hoots to dem the door upon the rapidly *deeming Antericsae, they shut out some of their own Akers. who were im mediately surrounded by their captors. The Americans were now exposed to a galling fire. from those within the building; and they only found safety by interposing the persons of their captives between themselves and the marksmen at the windows. Among the British officers was one Major Barry, who. without the slightest reeistanea, began only with a profound solemnity to enumerate his many title'. " Sir. I am henry Barry, Deputy Adjutant General of the British army, Secret - my to the commrinilaut Of Charleston, captain of the 524 regiment. &c." " Enough, enough," replied Col. Maiming. in whose hands he had fallen. " You are just the man I W 34 looking fur. Fear nothing: vou shall screen me from danger, and I shall take especial care of you," I.nd with the pompous major held before his person, the American officer secured a safe retreat. Governor Griswold. of Connecticut, was once indebted to a happy thought of his wife fur his escape from the British, to whom he was extremely obnoxious. lle was at home, but expected to set out immediately for Hartford, to meet the Legislature, which had commenced its session a day or two previous. The family residence was at Illsekhill, oppo site Saybrook point, and situatedon the point of land formed by Connecticut river on the east, and Long Island Sourid on the south.— British ships were lying in the sound, and as the Governor was known to be at this Casein his own mansion. a boat was secretly sent ashore fir the purpom of securing has person. Without prefibee Awning, the family were alarmed by seeing a file of marines coming up from the beach to the house. There wee no time for flight. Mrs. Griswold bethought herself of a large meat barrel or tierce, which.: had been brought in a day or two before, and was not yet filled. Quick as thought, she de cided that the Governor's proportions—which were by no means slight—must be compress ed into this, the only available biding place. He was obliged to submit to be stowed in the cask and covered. The process omapied bog a few moments, and the soldiers presently entered. Mrs. Griswold was of course inno cent of all knowledge of her lasband's where. aborts, though she told them she knew well that the legisiature was is session, aid that business required his preeree at the capital. The bowls and eellar having bees searched without semen, the soldier. departed,.

The dispute arose at a wine table, and the officer demanded instant re. paration. Putnam, being a little elevated, expressed his willinoness to accommodate the gentleman with a fight; and it was stip ulated that the duel should take place on the following morning, and that they should fight without seconds. At the appointed time the General went on the ground, armed with sword and pistols. On entering the field, Putnam, who had taken a staid at the oppo site extremity, and at a distance of about thirty rods, levelled his musket and bred at him. The gentleman now ran towards his antagonist, who deliberately proceeded to re load his gun. " What are you about to do 2" exclaimed be ; "is this the conduct of an American officer and a man of honor f"-- What are you about to do ?" exclaimed the General, attending only to the fret question ; " a pretty question to pot to a man whom you intend to murder. I'm about to kill you, and if you don't best a retreat in less time than 'Would take old Heath to bang a Tory, you are &gone deg ,;" at the same tame returning his ramrod to its place, and throw ing the breach of his gun into the hollow of his shoulder. This intimation was too un equivocal to be misunderstood, and our valor ous duellist turned and led for dear life.

First of all he thinks, in order to be able to speak more decisively, that he will taste this noxious bey *rage with his own lips. Then there can be no mistake. With much dignity he enters Porter's. He is greeted with respect. He Interrogates Porter: "Sir. many of the under-groluates come here, I understand?" " A few," modestly replies the landlord. "They come here frequently, Mr. Porter?"

A gentleman ordered • suit of clothes from a tailor, and spatially enjoined him that they must be made by the neat Tuesday, and that they must be made in the finest style, and that unless the tailor could have them ready to a certainty, beyond a peradventure, to the day, that he must not undertake them ; but Snip promised faithfully that they should be finished ad diem. Tuesday came and no clothes ; the enraged gentleman flew to the cabbage man's house, and said: " What's the reason that my clothes were not ready as you promised ? Here, you have kept me in the city at a Mrs of time and busi ness only do disappoint me : now, if we hail you in our part of the country, I tell you what they would call you ; they would say you were a Rerfect squirt." The knight of the goose explained that the only oompetent workman he had, capab:e of making the suit, had a wife lying at death's door, and he could not possibly leave her. The outraged gentleman was not able to smother his disappointment, and berated the tailor soundly for failing in his positive promise.
