AN ANCIENT TRADITION, Relative to the effigy of an armed knight, re cun bent upon a tomb-stone, in the church of Toileshunt Knights, Essex. [Published in the Anatectic from the British Sporting Magazine] A learned doctor of the holy Roman Catholic and Apostolic Church, some few years since, presented the world with a pamphlet, setting forth the ac tual op ration of a miraculous cure, at the well of Saint Winifred, in Wales; let us see whether we also cannot per form something in the miraculous line, for the amusement at least, if not for either the instruction or conversion of our readers; always duly acknowledg ing our inferiority to his reverence a bove quoted, in that our miracle is of the ancient, his of the modern stamp; with the reserve, however, of whether such accident mayor may not be deem ed i mark of inferiority. Some few years of my early life were spent in the vicinity of the ancient par ish of Toileshunt Knights, or, as it is locally and vulgarly called, Toileshunt Bushes, in the county of Essex, a few miles N. E. of the town of Malden That parish, together with its imme diate neighbour. Toileshunt Darcey, formed a part of ths patrimony of the noble fam ly of D’Arcey. My childish curiosity was powerfully attracted by the little church of Tolleshunt Knights, with its wooden steeple and three can dlestick bells; by its lonely sequester ed situation, but still more by a tomb of soft chalky stone, within side the church, and in juxtaposition to, if I re collect rightly at this distance of time, the northern wall Upon this tomb, recumbent at full length, frowned an armed hero of our iron age. At his feet were two canine figures, somewhat defaced by time, or sacrilegious and boorish hands. The whole appeared then, namely, about one and fitly years ago, to have just received the benefit of a modern white-washing. The old tradition res peering this hero, to which I repeated ]y listened among the tales of the even ing, strongly interested my attention, and I well recollect the traces of that Jdnd of impn ssion which it made upon my mind, such as to excite these oppo site cogitations—could such a tale pos sibly be fact, or could it possibly be re lated without any ground of fact It was indeed, at that time, in full curren cy among all the old women and chil dren of the parish doubtless honoured with entire credence by some, as well as other ancient f bles, and half believ ed by all. The wonderful feats achiev ed by this heroic and self devoted vic tim of patriotism, had been handed down from the primitive age in which they were performed, ana the relation runs as follows. Once upon a time, there existed a great dispute among certain proprietors as to the particular spot where a manor house, to be called Barn Hall, after wards situated where a house of that name at present actually stands, with in four or five miles of the little church of-Tolkshunt Knights, should be built. Its erection, it stems, was attempted in the neighborhood of the church, but, for some supernatural reasons, which customarily in these cases are not al ways assigned, as fast as either the foundation was laid, or the walls run up by day, the whole was, with equal cer tamty, torn up, or pulled down, and car ried clean away, by night. This night ly operation, too, was attended by por tentous and frightful noises, and appal ling sights, heard and seen, or not, yet related and believed, and great dismay fell upon all the parish. No doubt but these sights were too tremendous to be Witnessed by any but those by whom it Was proper they should be seen and it is well known, that upon all such solemn .occasions, there are such people At K nglh, one man generously offered to take upon himself' the consequences, be whatever they might, of his neigh bours’ misfortunes or enors. And this scape goal hcio, suffering his neigh bours to retire quietly to their beds, at night-tall, boldly marched to the dread ful spot, armed ca(: and att- pee, Lancasier’s Rappee, a few Pannjsters of Hardam’s No 9, SNUFF.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 23. ANOTHER GLORIOUS ACTION. New-York. October 20— Noon. The privateer Saratoga, capt. Ader ton, of this port, of 14 guns, has captur ed the British sloop of war Morgiana, of 18 guns, David Scott, commander, (see Steel’s List) and sent her into Newport, where she arrived on Tues day evening. This inform >tion is de rived from New London, from which a gentleman arrived in this morning’s stage, and from which we have receiv ed the letters of which the subjoined are extracts. FROM A CORRESPONDENT. New London, October 18. We received pleasant news this af ternoon. Mr. Fanning of New-York arrived here from Stonington, and re ported that the British sloop of war brig Morgiana touched in there this after noon, a prize to the Saratoga, of New York. The public have been so un mercifully gulled (or hoaxed) of late, that little credence was given to the news, except by those acquainted with Mr. Fanning. Towards evening, col. Isaac Williams came in town from Ston nington, who informs; That a brig, a prize to the Saratoga of New-York, capt. Aderton, came near in towards Stonington, and fired a gun for a pilot Several boats put off, and a number of persons went on board. Immediately after, thfe Atalanta was seen in chase; and the brig put away for Newport, with a number of Stoning ton people in her. Those who landed, reported that the prize w>s the British brig Morgiana, capt. Scott, who was on board, and had lost a leg—that she had 20 guns on board—that she was captur ed by the Saratoga, and after an action of an hour and a half—that she was bound t« Lisbon with dispatches. So great was the hurry that further particulars were not learnt. Ex presses were sent eastward to alarm the militia in case they should be necessa ry. The wind being light, and the Ata lanta having 3 boats ahead, great fears were entertained that the prize would be retaken or run ashore. A frigate was also seen in full chase from Mon tauk. But the express saw the brig weather Point Judith, and bear away for Newport. [Ot course she escaped her pursuers, and got in safe.J So far I have no doubt is certain, that the Saratoga has captured an armed brig. It is now near 12 o’clock at night, and I have given you all the facts that have come to my knowledge. ANOTHER LETTER. Good news—and I have no doubt true. Information has just been received here that the British sloop ol war Morgiana, of 18 guns, Scott, commander, has been captured by the privateer Saratoga. The prize made a stop opposite Ston ington, but, finding she was pursued by the Atalanta, proceeded to Newport, it is supposed. This intelligence we have from such respectable authority, that its veracity is not doubted. And as it is confident ly asserted that the Atalanta has come to anchor this evening with the rest of the squadren, I presume the Morgiana had arrived safe in Nev port. From our ^rctrular') correspondent at New London. Tuesday, October 16th. Our squadron have proceeded down the river about 3 milts, half the dis tance from where they have been lying to this place. Th s circumstance I presume is well known to you, and I have no doubt to the cnemy.orl should not have noticed t foi publication. In consequence of ti is movement the ene my’s force, consisting of the Valiant, AcasU, and Atalanta, and some say an Other frigate, have anchored as nearly within our harbor as their safety will admit. A letter from S cktu’s Harbor, dated Monday the 11th inst. received at New York, mentions that gen. Wilkinson had been pre\ented from going on his contemplated expedition, by the tqui noxial gale, which set in on that day— but expected to move forward with his army in two or three days The troops from Fort George had arrived at Os wego. Tilt REPUBLICAN NAVY. So much has been said by the minis ters of faction, those who heap fuel on that party spirit which unhappily rages among us with already too great a vio lence, about the Federal navy; and so broad a claim has been put in by the party to all its honors that we feel, in clined to pay a few moments attention to the justice of a pretension, so arro gant and unlimited. Giving to the party the utmost merit they cun claim, on the score of the na vy, it is that of having commenced a Na val Institution when they held the reins of government, having raised it to a considerable extent, and handed over a remnant of it to the Republican ad ministration when it came into power. Thus was established a small navy, which has served as a nursery to a few of as brave -and skilful officers and sea men as the world has ever known. All this we are willing to grant to the fe deral party. But so much more is as sumed, that we are compelled, in jus tice to ourselves, to expose the nullity of the title they have set up to the lau n s recently won by our gallant tars. Since the republican party came into power, the navy has been cherished, as the navy of a Republic ought to be in time of peace, to about the same ex tent as it existed when it was received from federal hands. And it is a fact, which the journals of the Eleventh Congress attest, that repuolican votes saved that institution from total de struction by the meditated passage of an act, the object of which was the reduction of the Navy of the United States, introduced by John Randolph, and supported by the speeches and votes of the most influential federalists in the House of Representatives. We have not the Journal at hand to quote the yeas and nays on the question of in definite postponement of the bill, but the fact was as we have stated it. The navy then began to change its federal character; its old friends abandoned it, and those, whose forecast saw future greatness and utility in the germ, nurs ed it in their besom. Its change of character, thus commenced, was com pleted on the declaration of war. The navy was then, obviously to all, no lon ger an useless, incumbrance, as many practical republicans had until then been inclined to think it. It became an useful instr urgent of war, and of course lost much of the favor it still re tained in the eyes of the federal party. Employed by a republican administra tion, in a war declared by them, it then became, and now continues to be, to all intents and purposes, a Republican navy. On recurring, moreover, to the his tory of the present war, we shall find, that it was on an inland sea where the federalists never possessed any formi dable force, and by a fleet the very timbers of which were nine months ago still vegetating in their native soil, that the greatest and most gallant action of the war has been achieved. The merits, tfie daring intrepidity of our officers, who have ennobled themselves, and il luminated the page of their national history with a blaze of glory, by their achievements on the Atlantic ocean, have deserved and received the highest civic honors. Their actions ought to be commemorated by annual feasts and recorded on brazen tablets. But even their exploits, great as they are, have been outstripped by Perry, the Republi can commander of a fleet from stem to stern Republican. We should never think of claiming credit for these things, either for Perry’s democracy, or for that of the administration under which,with in a few months, a fleet was built from the stump and an enemy beaten by an inferior force, or for other brilliant ex ploits during the same period, on ocean 1 k but for the effrontery with which the federal prints generally persist in claiming, as their own, those achieve ments they actually endeavored to thwart, and those men who detest both them and their principles If, then, the navy is (absurdly and idly) to be made a bon for party conten tion, w*. cj iim it for and in the name of the Republican Party. We say that we have preserved it from destruction, me ditated by those who call themselves ns friends we say that it was no fault ot the federal party in Congress that it was not long ago reduced; we say thatit nas received more encouragement ana greater encrease at our hands in one year, than it received from federal hands in twelve; we say that we have built fleets and w:tu*them conquered su perior fleets of the enemy,where the last federal administration scarcely launch ed a canoe. These are facts within every man’s knowledge, which conclu sively establish the validity of the claim we now put in for the honors of the navy. r\nd, reader, have you not seen the vile p riy prints predicting the destruction of our little navy at sea and of our fleets on the lakes Have they not depreciated'them in every un derhand and covert way And shall they now come toward and say, uncontradict cd and unrefuted, that they are the fathers and patrons of the navy—that, in truth, it is still a federal navy? As to the Officers of our navy, who are claimed as federalists of the Boston stamp, they are under no obligation to their pretended friends lor such a libel on their characters. Their conduct proves them to be Republicans,let them be called what they may. If our naval heroes be federalists, why then indeed all we can say is, that we fervently pray lor the diffusion of such federalism a mong those who claim the title, but openly abjure the principles which our naval heroes have as openly ^vowed and practically advocated. Burlington, Vt. Oct. 15. On the evening of the 11th instant, a detachment of the rifle corps, consist ing of about 130 men, under the com mand of col. Isaac Clark, embarked on board of batteaux at Chazy New York, and proceeded to Caldwell’s Manor, in the province of Lower Canada, and landed at the house of a Mr. Cook, where there was deposited about 3000 dollars* worth of property, recently smuggled from the states, consisting of leather, shoes,&c. After taking and put ting on board of the batteaux the above mentioned’ property, they proceeded from thence and Landed at Rock river, near Canada lines, about break of day. The troops immediately formed and proceeded towards St. Armand’s the expedition was so conducted that the enemy were not apprized of their ap proach, until the riflemen were within 50 rods of the British encampment: on hearing alarm guns fired, md the Bri tish drums beat to arms, the riflemen advanced precipitately upon them, so that they had no time even to form Uieir troops they however attempted to make a stand. Major Powell, who commanded the British forces, was immediately taken prisoner. The enemy commenced a fire upon our troops from behind hous es, fences, &c. a column advanced in front, but they were all soon compelled to lay down their arms. Several made their escape, and secreted themselves in cellars, chambers, &c. The loss on the side of the enemy is not exactly known 3 were killed and a considerable number wounded two were wounded of the rifle corps. Col. Clark has made 93 prisoners, taken 12Q stand of arms, 8 horses and 7 oxen. The prisoners arrived at this post on the 13th inst. FURTHER ACCOUNTS OF THE MEX ICAN WAR. Alas:: nd ria, (Lous.) Sept. §4. The unfortunate sufferers are com ing in daily. It appears that, much to the astonishment of all Elesondo has liberated the Americans t k.n prison ers in and after the action. No parole was required; he advised them never to take up arms against the Royalists again, unless by approbation of the A merican government, of which he spoke with much respect and intimated that an expedition under the patronage of government, would have his co-opera tion—He treated the Americans with humanity and supplied them with pro visions for their return home but most of the Spanish prisoners were shot. General Toledo arrived hei< on Mon day evening last—he has the entire ap probation of the officers and m- n gene rally, and no doubt is entertained that he was eminently qualified to do justice to the command, and, had his orders been obeyed, would have led the patri ots on to triumph and to glory. There is no kind of doubt, that at the moment of retreat, the Patriots had. much the advantage, and, could the offi cers have rallied them, their triumph would have been complete. It is stated that the Royalists lost upwards of 700, nd the loss on the part of the Patriots did not exceed four hundred. MARRIED, On Wednesday eveni qr, by the Rev. Doctor Muir, Mr. John 11.

hepublicb^ ism triumphani zy NE^ JERSEY. Newark, Oct 19. The eilectionecring campaign for members of the New-Jersey State L« gisl ture, terrnhihted on Wednesday evening last. The enemies of repub licanism and of the administration of the general government have bcm md; the contest has been warm—but the ■victory is ours. Though returns from all the counties have not reach'd us we feel warranted in saying, Republi canism has carried in'a majority of the counties—and that Federalism alias the Friends of Peace,” will-constitute a minority in both branches of the Legis lature at the approaching session. Never has the Republican cause been assailed with greater virulence, and the measures of the general government more misrepresented than at the past election. Our rulers have been de nounced as the to >ls, if not the pension ers of France. The war with Great Britain has been declared “wicked and foolish The. taxes have been describ ed as unnecessary and oppressive; and every attempt made to excite the pas sions of the people against the authors of them But a majority of the People, true to themselves—true to their coun try have appreciated the motives of the opposition. They have turned a deaf ear to the calumnies heaped on the republican administration. A righte ous verdict is pronounced in favor of the public measures of our country, and established a point, which we have long believed, that the minority, during the past year, governed the majority and that their high handed and oppres sive measures were but a prelude to their downfai and overthrow. On this auspicious and cheering is sue of the election in New Jersey, we congratulate our Republican friends in this State and the United States. The self-styled “friends of peace” have been completely beaten. The sleeping Sampsons of Republicanism have, by an united effort, demolished -the Castle of Federalism, and astonished the par tisans of our “mother country.” The fever of alarm occasioned by the despe rate clamors of an unprincipled opposi tion, has subsided—and the people of this state have returned to Whig prin ciples—and will support Republican measures. We shall'hear of no more Legislative Resolutions addressed' to Congress against the prosecution of the war in defence, of Free trade Sc Sailor’s rights.” No more party laws binding the hands of the commander in chief, in his military operations. No more snatching of elections out of the very mouths of the people. No a more pa triotic and honorable course will be pursued. The success of Republican ism will again strengthen the chain' of our Federal Union, instead of weaken ing it It will prompt the exertions lor a vigorous and successful prosecu tion of the war, instead of discouraging those whose duty it is to conduct it.— On the whole it is a great triumph of Republicanism over federalism—of vir tue over office seekers—of the friends of the American government over the friends and apologizers of the British government. Centinel. The following cb gant and patriotic address was delivered by Miss Baker, in behalf of some ladies of Philadel phia. on presenting a standard, with em blematic decorations, October 11, to cel. Fotterall’s regiment of United States infantry. the spirit and love of country which this address breathes, shed a lustre on the American female character, far more brilliant than any of ■which Europe can boast. Truly might Conbett say of such ladies, that they are more attached to their country than the other sex and that, therefore, if they married foreigners, and ruled them, their husbands might, on taking up their residence here, be immediately considered good American citizens. Whig. “Sin—Conscious of the justice of the pre sent war, and confiding in the courage and pa triotism of jou and your regiment, some la dies of Philadelphia have deputed us to pre sent to you in their name, and as a testimo nial of their respect, a stand of colors. De testing the barbarous inhumanity and despising the haughty menaces of the enemy, we feet that ‘under your protection we fear no foe.’ May the Eagle of Victory ever rest upon your standard, and, after an honorable warfare, may you in safely return to your family and friends. But if that great and good being who presides over all shall have decreed your fall, may jt be like that of the gallant general Pike, in the >rms of victory, and with the colors of the van quished emmy to pillow your head. Whenever y.our country calls, our best wishes will accompany you, your officers and men, and, as these colors gaily glitter in the gale, may the sensations they call up and the feelings they excite, warm your hearts and nerve your arms in the sacred cause of freedom, humanity and justice.” Ensign Copes received the colors uncovered, and made the following re ply "Lovzly and amiable Ladies, The presence of virtue and beauty always inspires with delight the hearts of generous men and soldiers —the occasion which has called us before you cannot but animate and make us proud ct ourselves.
