ceased her plain tive song and retired 10 her lonely rest amid the deep recesses of the forest and the shrill cry of the wild cat grew faimcr and fainter as the feeble light in the east proclaimed lha approach of day at this moment two indians who ap peared from their peculiar dccoiat oris to belong to the delaware tribe were s en to proceed from the thickest par o ihe forest bordering upon lake hu ron at its narrowest pan and saunter along its romantic shoies from their intense watching they were supposed o be awaiting the arrival of some one with great impatience a low giowj was shortly heard from the opposite shore of the lake which was answered by the two delawares who immediatelyse creted themselves behind a thicket through whose openings they could per- fvitfe afc s4igarttf

tribehove in sight the rude breeze of a december morn ing parting the folds of their ample clonks disclosed the uniforms of a cou ple of french officers the eldesl from bis noble mien and tho glittering star of st louis proved to be an officer or high rank while the less ornamented dress and plain epaulettes of the other seemed to denote that he held the rank of aid to the other after casting a scrutinizing glance a- long the vacant shore the eldest spoke to his aid in a low tone do villi ers i have strong suspicions that we are betrayed but say nothing we will prepare ourselves for the worst and trust our guides with cau tion i cannot think we are sir said the aid but i will be on my guard bring the eldest indian to me said the officer in a tone of command as he drew his pistols and examined their pri ming when finding every thing in or der he returned them to his belt seat ing himself upon a dead tree which had been torn up by the force of the wind he awaited the appearance of the savage with composure at this instant his at tention was attracted by a rustling in the thicket on his right and turning his eyes he perceived the ornamented moccasin of a savage peering from it he appeared dot to notice the circum stance but slowly drawing his pistol from his girdle and cocking it deter mined to sell his life at a dear rate the savage accompanied by the aid now arrived whose answers served to convince him that no treachery was to be feared from their guide j towering falcon said the officer do you know an enemy from his moc casins i tho falcon has eyes replied the savage then let him read the tribe of the skulker in the foot which is visible from beneath yonder hazel said the of ficer the savage seized his long rifle cock ed and elevated it as though he would fire at an eagle quietly gazng upon the little baud from an igedoak while thus looking he suddenly dropped it to a le vel and saying in a low tone as he caught a glimpse of the savage tis a cursed delaware he discharged his piece at the instant a tall indian sprang in to the air with a horrid yell and fell dead at the feet of the frenchman the iroquois then slyly crept behind him and drawing his glittering scalp- around his crown and grasp ing the long tuft of hair with his other innd quickly severed the scalp from the skull and opening the folds of his blanket he deposited the symbol of his victory with a yell that echoed through the long vistas of the forest until each vale and dell gave back the appalling sound 4 to your care towering falcon sd the eldest officer 4

ought his loaded rifle to a low truil stepping up on the loose st nes and decayed branch es of the tiees he soon reached a path which appeared o penetrate the inmost wilds of the forest the two officers followed and the rear was brought up by the other iroquois who destroyed all traces made by the passing band the eldest indian then surveyed the trad himself with a scrutinizing glance and finding every sign of their retreat obliterated uttered the exclamation 11 good and entered the dense forest the moment the party were lost a- mid the brakes which skirted the shore of the like a delaware who had re- i ii unseen when his comrade was siru immediately followed and disco vered the tall forms of the french and iroquois just as they entered the lo res s shade a gleam of demomacsat- isficiton stole over the savages swarthy features as he muttered to himself in nro- keo english the blood of the iroquois shall flow in revenge for the delawares scalp then springing into a caooe hither to hid beneath a clump of alders he push- tu out audi wu uuo hmo uiniii tile- wooded islets on the opposito side of the lake the sun had reached the meridian as the french and iroquois wearied with their journey seated themselves beneath the shade of a wide spreading pine and pre pared to make their noonday meal while the necessary preparations were going on a loud shout was heard from the opposite thicket immediately succeeded by the re ports of half a dozed rifles the two iro quois fell dead upon the spot while the fr rench officers escaped with a few slight wounds only at this moment the whole party with hjdeous yells rushed upon aud bound he whites then scalping the dead iroquois they took up their liue of march after journeying for three days they ar rived at a place where the waters ran to- wards the east the shades of the eve ning had crept over the face of nature which settled down with a deeper gloom upou the forest from the dark clouds that were gathering and extending their murky vapours over the western sky as the party having supped stretched themselves out to sleep the prisoners were confined in the midst of the band to some small sapplings while an cxperieuccd warrior kept watch as soon as tiie deep breathing of the whole indicated that thej slept the watching sa vage drew cautiously to the spot where the prisoners lay and cuttiug the withes that ifouud them whispered in their ears to tread lightly and follow him after following ao intricate path for some hours they reached the banks of a wide ri ver the ludian then gave a signal which was instantly answered and soon a light caooe was rowedby a single native to the shore do the pale faces walk in the dark v said the uew comer in a low toue wheo the delaware guides their steps the blind cau follow was the reply the lieaver is a great chief said the other as he pushed the canoe up to the bank of the stream the chief then bade tho captives enter the canoe then addressing the eldest in french be

the pale face go in safety aud may the great spirit bless him the debt is now paid aud the delawares heart beats light er in his bosom the astonished frenchman was about to reply wheo a loud shout was raised on the shore a ride was heard and the beaver dropped dead upon the shore at this io- stadt the indian pushed off the caooe which was fired at several times by the pursuers but from the thick mist that overshadowed the river it escaped uuharm- ed in a few hours they landed on the oppo site side of the river near a spot of cleared laoj the indian then pointed to a path through the under brush and telling the of ficers to follow uutil tho sun shone iu their faces he sprang into the caooe and was with a sarcasm peculiarly his own he now seldom speaks age and domestic afiliction and the course of events have all contributed to shrivel the sere and yellow leaf the spirit is willing the flesh rcfuscth yet his active mind still beams upon his keen northern counte nance and he looks like a man that would rather encounter in friendship than in the wordy war a few nights previous to the prorogation he sudden ly rose and solemnly warned their lord ships against the consequences of i be lieve the proposed law of entail and reminded them that such a thing still ex isted as the act of union i cannot des cribe his manner there was some thing in it altogether out of the ordina ry track he spoke like a man pro nouncing for the last time on the verge of the grave a solemn warning and his appearance seemed to say that though boonont otsignt when the iast stroke of another session might

apparently much too young for a senator he seems to be out of place when lecturing the reverend signiois of the treasury bench on the wisdom or folly of minis terial policy it is like the schoolboy flogging the masej he seems to be laying down the law after a barring out in his recent criticism upon ihe foreign politics of the cabinet he spoke wnh some force his manner is good and his voc finely sonorous especial ly in ihe minor key but he was fre quently agitaed especially when mil king allusions to his late fatherinlaw whom he sets up as the beau ideal of a statesman this is creditable enough to his feelins the policy of it on his part at least its frequent repetition is doubtful mt cannings fame will not depend upon the puny advocacy of the juvenile marquis of clanricarde he has

inalienable friend could not hold place under his premiership because it tended to advance the catholic ques tion yet this same mr peel in less than tvo years is himself an active agent destined to

of being known hut this truth was too formidable to hassouna dghies for him to dare to await it aud he therefore took refuge in the abode of mr coxc the consul of the united states the pasha seut word to mr coxe that he recognized the inviolabil ity to the asylum granted to hassouna but that the evidence of the latter being necessary io the prosecution of the proceed ings relative to tho

in giving this tragical and disgraceful story t the british public we may notice that ihe individual who figures so suspici ously in it viz hassouna dghies must he well remembered a few years ago in london society we were acquainted with him during his resideuce here and often met him both at public entertainments and at private parties where his turkish dress made him conspicuous lie was an in telligent man and addicted to literary pur suits iu manners more polished than almost aoy of his countrymen whom we ever knew aod apparently of a gentler disposition tbau the accusation of having instigated this in famous murder would fix upon him ed l g it was known some days ago that baron rousseau the french consul general and charge d affairs at tripoli had taken down his fug in cousequeoce of very serious disputes between the pasha and him re specting the papers of major laing if may credit the io formation which we we have received liaron rousseau is impli cated in this

travellers after having crossed the chain of mount atlas the country of fciian the dezart of lempta the sahara and the kingdom of ahades he arrived at the city of timbuctoo the discovery of which has been so long desi red by the learned world major laiog by entering timbuctoo had gained the re ward of 3000 sterliog which a learned and generous society in london had pro mised to the intrepid adveoturer who should first visit the great african city situated between the nile of the negroes and thr river gainharon but major laing attached much less value to the gaining of the reward than to the fame acquired after so many fatigues and dangers he had collected on his journey valuable iuforma- t ion in all hrauches efscience having fixed his abode nt timbuctoo he had composed thejourual of his travels and was prepar ing to return to tripoli when he was attacked by africans who undoubtedly were watching for him in the desert laiog who had but a weak escort defended him self with heroic courage he had at heart the preservation of his labours aod his glory hut in this engagement he lost his right hand which was struck off by the blow of vatagau it is impossible to help being ioved with pity at the idea of the uofortu- nate traveller stretched upon the sand writiug painfully with his left hand to his youug wife the mournful account of the combat- nothing can be so affecting as this letter written in stiff characters by unsteady fingers and all soiled with dust and blood this misfortune was only the prelude to one far greater not long after wards sone people of ghadames who had formed pan of the majors escort arrived attripoli and informed colonel warring ton that his relation had been assassinated iu the dosn col warrington could not confine himself to giving barren tears to the memy 0 his soninlaw tbe in terest of hi glory tbe honour of england the affeciio of a father all made it his duty to see after the authors of the murder and endeavour to discover what had be come of the papers of the victim an un certain rehort was 9oon spread that the papers of major laing bad been brought to tripoli y people of ghadames and that a tur named hassouna dghies tad commoners must yield precedency to i the united states would not have covered with its protection a man accused of beidg ao accooiplice in an assassination it was fully believed that this escape was ardently solicited by a french agent whom we see with a profound sentiment of grief engaged in this affair it is even said that the proposal was first made to the captain ofouc of our french ships but that he nobly replied that one of the kings officers could not favour a suspicious flight that he would not receive hassouna oo board bis ship except by virtue of a written order aod at all events iu open day and without disguise the fairfield weighed anchor on the 10th of aug in the morning the pasha enraged at the escape of has souna summoned to his place mohamed dghies brother to the fugitive aud there in presence of his principal olkccrs command ed him whith a stern voice to declare the truth mohamed fell at his masters feel and declared upon oath and in writing that his brother hassouna had major laings papers in his possession but that he had delivered them up to a person whom we shall refrain from mentioning for a de duction of forty percentou the dehts which be had contracted iu france aod the re covery of which this person wasendeavour- ing to obtain by legal proceedings the declaration of mohamed extends to three pages containing valuable and very numerous details respecting the delivery of the papers of the unfortunate major aod all the circumstances of this strange trans action the shape and size of the majors papers are indicated with the most minute exactness it is stated itiiit- uimsu papers were tawe-n- ifemi- uitn dear timbuctoo and subsequently deliver ed to the person above mentioned entire and without breaking the teals of red wax a circumstance which would demonstrate the participation of hassouna io the assassi nation for how can it be supposed other wise that the wretches who murdered the major would have brought these packages to such a distance without having been tompted by cupidity or even the curiosity so natural to savages to break open their frail covers mohamed however after he had left the palace fearing that the pasha in his anger would make him answerable for his bro thers crime according to the usual mode of doing justice at tripoli hastened to seek refuge in the house of the person of whom we have spoken and to implore his pro tection soon afterwards the consulge neral of the netherlands accompanied by his colleagues theconsulsgeucral of swe den denmark aud sardinia proceeded to the residence of the person pointed out as ihe receiver and in the name of col war rington and by virtue of the declaration of mohamed called upon him instantly to restore major laiugs papers he an swered haughtily that this declaraioo was only a tissue of calumioies and mohamed on his side trusting doubtless iu a pre tended inviolability yielding perhaps to fallacious promises retracted his declara tion completely disowned it and evco went so far as to deuy his own hand writing this recantation deceived nobody the pasha in a transport of rage sent to mo hamed his own son sidi ali this time influence was of do avail mohamed threatened with being seized by the chiaoux retracted his retraction and in a new de claration in the presence of all the consuls confirmed that which he made in tbe morn ing before tbe pasha and his officers now the outlines of this affair aroclearly laid down we submit them to the attention of fraoce aod of europe tbe reader wilt easily divine every thiug that delicacy renders it our duty to pass over in silence oue consolatory fact results from these afflicting details the papers of major laiog exist and tho learned world will rejoice at the intelligence butjn tho
