Some of the anecdotes contained in the lowing series have been before published, and some have not; all, however, will bear telling once more, as there are, possibly, some of our rising generation who hive not read any of them. When Macionough was First Lieutenant of the Siren, under command of Captain Smith, a circumstance occurred in .the harbor of Gib raltar sufficiently indicative of the firmness and decision of his character. An American merchant brig came to anchor near the United States vessel. Mcilonough, in the absence of Captain , Smith,_who—had gone on shore, saw a boat from a British frigate board the brig, and takb from her a man; ho instantly manned mid armed his gig, and pursued the British boat, which he overtook, just as it reached the frigate, and, without ceremony, took the impressed man into his own boat.— The frigate's boat was tilde° the farmer his 'own; but the act was- so bold as to astound the Lieutenant who commanded the pressgang, '`and no resistance was offered. When the affair was Made known to the British Captain, he came en board of the Siren in a great rage and lug - tired how he'dared to take 'a man from his beat. Iltacdonougli'replied, that the man was an American seaman, and was _under the proteetlon of the Sag of the United States, and that it was his duty to .protect him. The Captain, with a volley ot oaths, swore ho would bring his frigate alongside the Siren, and sink her. That you may do, said Macdonough; "but, While she swims, the man you will not have." The English Captain told Macdonough -that he was a younghair-brained follow, and would repent of his rashness. Supposing, sir, said be, had been in that boat, would.you have, dared to have committed such an act ?" I should have made the attempt; sir, at all haz ards, was the reply. "What, ski" said the English captain, would you venture to interfere if I wore to ,impress mon from that brig.— " You have only to try it, sir," was the pithy answer. The Magill& officer- returned to his ship, manned his - boat and made his way to wards the brig; Alacdonough did the same; but there the 'affair ended, the ,English boat took a circuitous route and • returned to his ship. There was such a calmness in the con duct of Lieutenant Macdonough, such a so lemnity in his language, and such a politeness inbis manner, that the. British officer saw he had to deal with no ordinary man, and that It wps not. prudent to put , hint on hie mettle: When Lieutenant Decatur was in-tie squad von, lying. before Tripoli; under the command of Cominodoro Preble, he' conceived a plan , for recapturing or destroying the 11. Frigate Philadelphia, which,'having , got fast' on a lodge of reeks, and` capsized , in the harbor of Tripoli, had been made a 'prize bY.tbe Ines, and, got afloat again. : 1174 great dia. of lty be obtained the Commodore's sanction to his Perilous 'enterprise ; but, istring: at last cA.ULISLE,- WEDNESDAir; M.TIVE 18; 1851. gained his consent,. Decatur manned the In-- trepid with seventy volunteers, and accompa:- mied.Lby-other-young--officersF-mll-of--whom. have since acquired fame, he sailed from Syr acuse on the 3d of Flibruary, 1804, in compa ny with' the United States Brig Syren, Lieu tenant Stewart, who was to take off the men. in his boats, in case it should be found neces sary to use the Intrepid as a fire-ship; After a tempestuous passage of a fortnight,. they arrive'roff. Tripoli towards evening, It had been arranged between Lieutenants De catur and Stewart, that the ketch and the boats of the Siren should enter the harbor a bout ten o'clock that night. The time arrived; but a change of Wind had carried the Siren several miles to leeward, and Decatur deter mined to take advantage of. the wind which was then fair,' and venture into the harbor without waiting'for the boats. The Philadel phia, with her nuns mounted and loaded, was moored under the guns of the castle - , two Tri-.. politnn cruisers lay within two cables' length, on her starboard qyarter, and several gun= boats, within half guh-shot on her star-board bow. The ketch carried her gallant crew within two hundred yards of the frigate, with out interruption; they were then hailed; and ordered 'to anchor. A Maltese pilot, by Deca tur's order, answered that they had lest their anchors in a gale of wind off the cOnst, and, therefore, could not anchor. By this time -they had approached near the -frigate, and were becalmed. Lieutenant Decatur then di rected a snialLberit_to_take.a.rope,-and-make it fast to the fore-chains of the frigate; this being accomplished, the crew began to wrap the ketch tilongside, Up to this m)utont, the ene my had suspected no danger; but now, iu groat confusion, they began to prepare for de fence: Before they were 'well aware of - the character of their visitors, Decatur had sprung on board, followed by Midshipman Charles Morris. These two were nearly a minute on the deck before their companions joined them; fortunately, the-surprise was too sudden for advantage to be taken of the delay. The Turks' crowded together on the quarter-deck, without , attempting to repel the boarders, who, as.soon as a sufficient number were assembled to form front - equal-to - theirmilversariesrushed-upon" them, and very soon cleared the deck. About twenty Turks were killed in the assault—the rest jumped overboard or fled below. Ile or dered the Ship to be set'on fire in several • parts, and, when certain of her destruction, the crew returned on board the keels; a fayei-, rable_breozo sprung up, and they sailed out of the harbor without the loss Of a man, four on ly being wounded. Soon after the above incident, Commodore Webbo determined to make an attack on Tri poli, and gave Decatur the command of a divi. Mon. Having secured the prize, Decatur was shout to take her out, when a boat, 'which bad • been commanded by his brother, Lieutenant , James Decatur, came under his stern ;' and lie was informed that his brother, after capturing' one of the enemy's boats, had been treacher-; cutely slain by the commander, Who was making for the port. He waited to hear no more; but hastened to overtake the assassin, and avelige his brother; with his single boat he 'pursued the retreating foe beyond the line of the enemy, - he - succeeded - UV threw himself on board, with eleven of hie men —all the Americans he had left. The fight continued on deck for twenty minutes, and but -tourorlikmett-remained-utiwourcledr•-Deca.-•- tur now singled out the commander, who was the special object of-his vengeance. With his cutlass he attempted , to Gut off the ]tender tliej espontoon with which his arangonist was• arnica; but, striking the iron, the' tare •e'.erous steel broke at the hilt, and he received a wound in the right arm and breast. They t a closed, and after a fiercestruggle, 1). th fen. The 'fork endeavored to stab hiM with nilseger ; lint Decatur seized his :trill with his left hand, and with his right brought a small pistil to bear upon his antagonist—cocked it, tired 11-rouglti his pocket; and killed hint.

In the flush of my ardent youth, when I met Clara Montgomery, was she not a magnificent creature? So beautiful, so gifted, so haughtily indifferent to the opiniohs of others; so winningly-deferential to my own! She reigned the queen of a brilliant circle, 'but received their willing' homage with playful disdain, and kept her coveted smiles for me I was proud of her triumphs, her queenly hauteur, her - daintily expressed con, tempt. I, knew not then that a regard for o pinion is the only sentiment that can take the place, even outwardly, of the restraint of re ligious principle, and in the latter quality I fear she was not more deficient than myself.-- - Her - wealth-I heeded not, or only - rejoiced - that it enabled me - to do her justice. I wooed and won her, and was miserable. ,Her restless na ture revelled in excitement. She had no taste for the - quiet delights of home. Preud, impe rious and exacting, even my deep devotion failed to satisfy her. Her reproaches embit teied my life. I remonstrated and she storm ed; I censured-and she spurned me.
