All advertisements appear in both papers, and are inserted at the usual rates._ LOVE AND DIPLOMACY. Pray pardon me, For I am like a boy that hath found money, Afraid I dream still.”—Ford or Webster. It was on a fine September evening, within my time, (and l am not, I trust, too old to be loved,) that Count Anatole L-, of the imper tineut and particularly useless profession of attache, walked up and down before the glass in bis rooms at the Archduke Charless” the first hotel, as you know if you have travelled, in the green belted and fair city of ienna.— The brass ring was still swinging on the end of the bell rope, and, in a respectful attitude at the door, stood the just summoned Signor At tilio, valet and privy counsellor to one of the handsomest coxcombs errant through the world. Signor Attilio was a Tyrolese, and, like his master, was very handsome. Count Anatole had been trifling away three golden summer months in the Tyrol, for the sole pm pose, as far as mortal eyes could see, of disguising his fine Phidian features in a callow moustache and whiskers. The crines ridentes (as Eneas Silvius has it,) being in a condition beyond improvement, Signor Attilio had for s adventure, passed by the count in scouring the country on horseback in every direction, and by his servant in very particular ennui, bring up the story nearly to where the scene opens. I have seen her!’ said the count. Attilio only lifted up his eyebrows. She is here in the neighborhood of v lenna. Falice lei!’ murmured Attilio. 1 She is the Princess Leichstenfels, and, by the death of that old man, a widow.’ Veramente?’ responded the valet, with a ri sing inflection; for he knew his master and French morals too well not to foresee a damper in the possibility of matrimony. Veramente!’ gravely echoed the count. ‘And now, listen. The princess lives in close retire ment. An old friend or two, and a tried ser vant, are the only persons who see her. You are to contrive to see this servant to-morrow, corrupt him to leave her, and recommend me in bis place, and then you are to take him as your courier to Paris; whence, if I calculate well, you will return to me before long, with im portant despatches. Do you understandme?’ Signor si!’ In the small boudoir of a maison de plais ance, belonging to the noble family of Leich stenfels, sat the widowed mistress of one of the oldest titles and finest estates of Austria. The light from a single long window opening down to the floor, and leading out upon a terrace of flowers, subdued by a heavy crimson curtain, looped partially away, a pastille lamp was send ing up from its porphyry pedestal a thin and just perceptible curl of smoke, through which the lady musingly passed backward and for ward one of her slender fingers, and, on a ta ble near, lay a sheet of black edged paper, crossed by a6mall silver pen and scrawled ovei irregularly with devices and disconnected words, the work evidently of a fit ol the most absolute and listless idleness. The door opened, and a servant in "earning livery stood before the lady. 1 have thought over your request, Wdneim, she said: I had become accustomec. to your services, and regret to lose you; but 1 should re gret to stand in the way of your interest. ou have my permission.” _ Wilhelm expressed his thanks with an v,^ that showed he had not obeyed the cal! of Mam mon without regret, and requested leave to in troduce the person who had proposed as his successor. Of what country is he?’ Tyrolese, your excellency. And why does he leave the gentleman with whom he came to Vienna?’ 11| est amoureux d’une Viennaise, madame, answered the ex valet, resorting to French to express what he considered a delicate circum pauvre enfmt!’ said the princess, with a sigh that partook as much of envy as of pity; let him come in!’ And the Count Anatole, as the sweet accents reached his ear, stepped over the threshold, and in the coarse but gay dress of the Tyrol, stood in the presence of her whose dewy temples he had bathed in the forest, whose lips he had a I most pried into for breath,’ whose snowy hands he had chafed and kissed when the senses had deserted their celestial organs—the angel ol lus perpetual dream, the lady of his wild and un controllable, but respectful and honorable love. The princess looked carelessly up as he ap proached, but her eyes seemed arrested in pass ing over his features, it was but momentary. She resumed her occupation of winding her ta 1 per fingers in the smoke curls of the incense lamp, and with half u sigh, as if she hud repel led a pleasing thought, she leaned back in the silken fauteuil, and asked the new coiner his name. I Anatole, your excellency.’ The voice again seemed to stir something in her memory. She passed her hand over her eyes, and was for a moment lost in thought. Anatole,’ she said, (oh, how the sound of his own name, murmured in that voice of music, thrilled thro’ the fiery veins of the disguised lover!) Anatole, I receive you into my service, i Wilheim will inform you of your duties, and— II have a fancy for the dress of the l yrol—you 1 may wear it instead of my livery, if you will. And with one stolen and warm gaze from un der his drooping eyelids, and heart and lips on fire, as he thanked her lor her condescension, the new retainer took his leave. Month after month passed on—to Count Ana tole in a bewildering dream of ever-deepening happiness. It was upon a soft and amorous morning of April that a dashing equipage stood at the door of the proud palace of Leichstens fells. The arms of Esterhazy blazed on the pannels, and the insouciantes chasseurs leaned against the marble columns of the portico, wait ing for their master, and speculating on the gai ety likely to issue from the suit he was prosecu ting within. How could a prince of Esterhazy be supposed to sue in vain! The disguised footman had shown the gay and handsome nobleman to his mistress’s pre sence. After re-arranging a family of very well-arranged flower-pots, shutting the window to open it again, changing the folds of the cur tains not at all for the better, and looking a sto len and fierce look at the unconscious visitor, he could find no longer an apology for remain j jng in the room. He shut the door after him in a tempest of jealousy. Did your excellency ring?’ said he. opening the door again, after a few minutes of intolera ble torture. The prince was on his knees at her feet. No, Anatole; but you may bring me a glass 01 water.* x As he entered with the silver tray trembling in his hand, the prince was rising to go. His face expressed delight, hope, triumph every thing that could madden the soul of the irritated lover. After waiting on his rival to his carriage, he returned to his mistress, and receiving the edass upon the tray, was about leaving the room in silence, when the princess called to him. In all this lapse of time it is not to be suppos ed that Count Anatole played merely his foot man’s part. His respectful and elegant demea nor, the propriety of his language, and that deep devotedness of manner which wins a wo man more than all things else, soon gained up on the confidence of the princess; and before a week was past she found that she was happier when he stood behind her chair, and gave him, with some self-denial, those frequent permis sions of absence from the palace which she sup posed he asked to prosecute the amour disclos j ed to her on his introduction to her service. As I time flew on, she attributed his earnestness and I occasional warmth of manner to gratitude; and, i without reasoning much on her own feelings. gave herself up to the indulgence of a degree of interest in him which would have alarmed a woman more skilled in the knowledge of the heart. Married from a convent, however, to an old man who had secluded her from the j world, the voice of the passionate count in the forest of Friuli was the first sound of love that had ever entered her ears. She knew not why it was that the tones of her new footman, and now and then a look of his eyes, as lie leaned 1 over to assist her at table, troubled her memory like a trace of a long lost dream. But, oh! what moments had been his in these fleeting months! Admitted to her presence in the most unguarded hours; seeing her at morn ing, afternoon, at night, in all her unstudied and surpassing loveliness; forever near her, and j with the world shut out; her rich hair flowing I with the lightest breeze across his fingers in his assiduous service; her dark, full eyes, uncon 1 scious of an observer, filling with unrepressed tears, or glowing with pleasure over some tale 1 of love; her exquisite form flung upon a couch, i or bending over flowers, or moving about the room in all" its native and untrammelled grace; and her voice, tender, and most tender to him, though she knew it not; and her eyes, hersel. unaware, ever following him in his loitering at tendance;—and he, the while, losing never a glance or a motion, but treasuring up all in his heart with the avarice of a miser—what, in common life, though it were the life of fortune’s i most favored child, could compare with it for bliss? Pale and agitated, the count turned back to the call of his mistress, and stood waiting her pleasure. Anatolel’ Madame!’ The answer was so low and deep it startled even himself. She motioned to him to come nearer. She had sunk upon the sofa, and as he stood at her feet she leaned forward, bipried her hands and arms in the long curls which in her retirement she allowed to float luxuriously over her shoul ders, and sobbed aloud. Overcome and forget ful of all but the distress of the lovely crea‘^e before him, the count dropped upon the cushion on which rested the small foot in its morning Slipper, and taking her hand, pressed it sudden ly and fervently to his lips. y The reality broke upon her. She was belov ed—but by whom? A menial! And the appal ling answer drove all the blood of her prou race in a torrent upon her heart, sweeping away all affection as if her nature had never known the name. She sprang to her feet, and laid her hand upon the be!i. ‘Madame!’ said Anatole, in a cold, proud tone. She staid her arm to listen. I leave you forever.’ And again, with the quick revulsion of youth and passion, her woman’s heart rose within hei, and she buried her face in her hands, and drop ped her head in utter abandonment on Ins bo som. It was the birthday of the emperor, and the courtly nobles of Austria were rolling out from the capital to offer their congratulations at the royal palace of Schonbrunn. In addition to the j usual attractions of the scene, the drawing-room was to be graced by the first public appearance j of a new French ambassador, whose reputed personal beauty, and the talents lie had display ed in a lute secret negociation, had set the w hole court, from the queen of Hungary to the young est dame d'honueur, in a flame of curiosity. To the prince of Esterhazy there was another reason for writing the day in red letters. 1 he princess Licchstenfels, bv an express message from the empress, was to throw aside her j j dow’s weeds, and appear once more to the ad-1 miring world. She had yielded to the sum mons, but it was to be her last day of splendor. Her heart and hand were plighted to her Tyro lese menial, and the brightest and loveliest or nament of the court of Austria, when the cere monies of ihe day were over, was to lay aside the costly bauble from her shoulder, ami the glittering tiara from her brow, and forget rank and fortune as the wife, of his bosom! The dazzling hours flew or.. The plain and kind old emperor welcomed and smiled upon all. The wily Mettcrnich in the prime of his successful manhood, cool, polite, handsome, and winning, gathered golden opinions by eve ry word and look: the young duke of Kiechstailt, the mild and gentle son of the struck Eagle of St. Helena, surrounded and carressed by a con tinual cordon of admiring women, seemed for getful that Opportunity and Expectation, await ed him, like two angels with their wings out spread; and haughty nobles and their haughti er dames, statesmen, scholars, soldiers, and j priests, crowded upon each other’s heels, and mixed together in that doubtful podrida, which goes by the name of pleasure. 1 could moral lze nere nau i miiri The princess of Liechstenfels had gone through the ceremony of presentation, and held heard the murmur of admiration, drawn by her beauty from all lip*, and dizzy with the scene, and with a bosom full of painful and conflicting emotions, she had accepted the proffered arm of prince Esterhazy to breathe a fresher air upon the ter race. They stood near a window, and he was pointing out to his fair but inattentive compa nion the various characters as they passed with in. ‘I must contrive,’ said the prinffe, ‘to show you the new envoy. Oh! you have not heard of him. Beautiful as Narcissus, modest as Pastoy Corydon, clover as the prime minister himself; this paragon of diplomatists has been here in disguise these three months, negotiating about Metternich and the deuce know what—but re warded at last with an ambassador’s star and —but here he is, Princess Liechstenfels, permit me to present’ She heard no more. A glance from the dia mond star on his breast to the Hepha;stion mouth and keen dark eye of Count Anatole revealed to her the mystery of months: And as she leaned against the window for support, the hand that sustained her in the forest of Friuli, and the same thrilling voice, in almost the same never forgotten cadence, offered his impassioned sym pathy and aid. and she recognized and remem bered all. I must go back so far as to inform you that Count Anatole, on the morning of this memora ble day, had sacrificed a silky, but prurient moustache, and a pair of the very sauciest dark whiskers out of Coventry. Whether the Prince Esterhazy recognized in the new envoy, the la dy’s gentleman who so inopportunely broke in upon his tender avowal, 1 am not prepared to say; I only know (for 1 was there) that the Prin cess Leichstenfel was wedded to the new ambas sabor in the leafy month of June.’ and the Prince Esterhazy, unfortunately prevented by illness from attending the nuptials, lost a very handsome opportunity of singing with effect, If she be not fair for me,’ supposing it translated into German. Whether the enamoured ambassadress prefers her husband in his new character, I am equally uncertain; though, from much knowledge of German courts and a little of human nature, I think she will be happy if at some future day she would not willingly exchange her proud envoy for the devoted Tyrolese, and does not sigh that, shecan no more bringhim to her feet with a pull of a silken string. Park Theatre—The first appearance of Mr Knowles on the American stage attracted a crowded house last night. Nothing could be more gratifying to him than the warm, the af fectionate reception he experienced. Unlike the noisy acclamations with which, as a matter of courtesy, a mere actor of European celebri ty is received, it was the spontaneous tribute of admiration and respect for one to whose superior genius we have so often been indebted j for amusement and instruction; nor was Mr. Knowles insensible to those manifestations of regard, if we may judge from the faltering voice with which he delivered his opening sen tence. Of his acting in the part of Master VVal ter we cannot speak too favorably. It was a chaste and most judicious performance, bear ing little or no resemblance to the character as we have hitherto seen it represented. Expres- sions, nay whole passages, which have been passed over by every other Master Walter as incapable of producing effect, were made by him points of exceeding beauty. His voice is powerful and clear, and his pronunciation dis tinct, with just enough of the brogue not to make it disagreeable. His by play was admir able, and altogether his performance exceeded our anticipations. At the close of the play, he was loudly called for; and in obedience to the will of the audience, before the curtaind. eliver ing the following short address with much grace and effect: “Ladies and gentlemen: They told me you would welcome me; you have welcomed me, and for that welcome I am most grateful.” .V. V. C'our. ALEXANDRIA: FRIDAY MORNING, OCT. 3, 1834. fc From Jamaica.—A letter from Jamaica dated the 12th of September, received by a commer cial house in this place, says that all is quiet there as regards the negroes, with the exception of some slight disturbances in distant parts of the island. The Sc.hr. J. Y. Tompkins, of Baltimore and for that port, had sailed but a few days before the 12th from Jamaica, and had just got to sea when her crew mutinied and would have taken the vessel, although there were several passen gers on board; but, fortunately, a brig of war, going out at the same time, saw a signal of dis tress, and came up in time to save the vessel and the lives of the officers and passengers. The crew were immediately put in irons, and the J. Y. Tompkins has arrived at Baltimore. From Bermuda.—By the Br. Sloop Experi ment, Capt. Tynes, Bermuda papers to the lGth of September have been received at New York. They contain intelligence from many ofthe British West India Islands in regard to the ope ration of the Emancipation Law which went into effect on the first of August, and, we are happy to say, it is in general of a favorable character. At St. Cristopher’s, where some disorders had occurred, tranquility was again restored. In several other colonies the negroes at first refused to woik, but in one way or ano ther their insubordination wasspeedily subdued. North American Review.—The eighty-fifth number of this Journal was published on the 1st of October, and contains articles on the following subjects: l. Periodical Literature of the United States; 2. Diplomatic Correspond ence; 3. The Italian Drama; 4. Kay’s Travels in Caffraria; 5. Hayward’s Physiology of Man; 6. Slavery in Rome; 7. Coleridge’s Poems; 8. Outre-Mer; 9. The Washington Papers; 10. Temperance. A letter published tn the United states ua zette, from a gentleman travelling in Europe, speaks in the highest terms of the Iron Canal Boats on the celebrated Clyde Canal in Scot land. They nre drawn with one hundred pas sengers by two horses at the rate of nine miles an hour, without any injury whatever to the banks of the Canal. The Ohio State Journal, speaking of the pro bable result of the Congressional election in Ohio, says, that it thinks nine Whigs and six Jacksonmen will be elected, and the four re maining districts doubtful._ The last Winchester Virginian did not con tain its usual interesting and ralunblc supple ment.

Messrs. Van Buren and Marcy are travelling throughout the State of New York, pursuing their electioneering tour in the most open and unblushing manner. The Van Burenites in New York have had a large meeting at Tammany Hall, to counteract the effects of the late Whig meeting at the Ma sonic Hall. Preserved Fish, Esq. presided. The Evening Star shows off the Vice Presidents and other officers of the meeting in fine style. The well written Tale in this morning’s Ga zette is from the pen of Willis. It will be a rich treat to our fair readers. So incensed arc “those interested” at the mu tilation of the Figure Head,” that the Consti tution will be sent to sea with the headless trunk at her bows. In our opinion, Old Ironsides will be honored now more than if she had a wooden idol to carry. Mr. Hugh Goodwin, Jr. appears in the Enqui rer of the 23d, over his own proper signature, in cefence of the President’s conduct at Uor donsville, in Orange county, on his recent jour ney to Tennessee. Mr. Goodwin appears to have been constantly in hearing of the Presi dent; and he asserts that he “never heard the President utter one word about Mr. Poindexter, unless particular enquiry was made of him, and then with some reluctance.” After a good deal of balderdash, Mr. Hugh Goodwin, Jr. says, that “so far as he was able to judge on the oc casion referred to, the President acted with the discretion of a philosopher: his conversations were generally directed to the subjects of the Bunk, Internal Improvement and Nullification, in which he exhibited the skill of the logician and the profundity of a statesman.” Doubtless —doubtless. Your fortune is made, Mr. Hugh Goodwin, Jr. Any office you may choose to demand, is at your service.—Lynchburg Vir. Advertiaing.—No wonder the New York pa pers thrive so handsomely—they each contain every day lieu or three hundred new advertise ments. Persons who have their interest at heart will not begrudge the trifling sum which an ad vertisement may cost—it not only brings mer chants, tradesmen, mechanics, dc. into public notice and procures them business, but gives a thriving feature to the city, and tells the world that we are up and doing.”— Balt. Intel. D3* We are authorised to announce to the voters of the Congressional District composed of the counties of* Westmoreland, Richmond, Northumberland, Lancaster, King George Staf ford and Prince William, that John Taliaferro, Esq., has, in compliance with the wish of many voters, consented to become a candidate at the next election of a Representative for that Dis trict in the Congress of the United States. SUMMARY OF NEWS. One of the first efforts to establish domestic manufactures at the South has been attended with a heavy loss to the enterprising capitalist, i concerned in it. The new cotton and wool fac. tory at Athens (Geo.) was destroyed by fire 0fl the 13th ult. together with a large stock of cost, ly machinery. The loss is supposed to be not less than $10,000, not one dollar of which was insured. We find it stated in a Buenos Ayres paper, that the director of an equestrian company, ex hibiting at Monte Video, has been compelled to make a public apology in the Monte Video pa. pers, in consequence of one of his horses being called Bolivar,” it being considered offensive to the memory of the General. The apology was made—the excuse was, that the manager had offended through ignorance.” We learn from the Clinton (Miss.) Gazette that the cholera has recently raged with almost i unprecedented violence at Randolph, Tenn., little town on the Mississippi river, a short dis tance above Memphis. The population of that town does not exceed 350; yet, in the space of« few days, about forty citizens had fallen vic tims to the malady. Salina, in New York, has suffered with that dread malady the cholera. From Sunday to Tuesday there were tveenty two deaths out of t population of twelve hundred. A great many fled. On Sunday the first day, fifteen died; twelve were foreigners who were employed in the salt works. The Nocatcotian of the 17th tilt published at Halilax, contains a melancholy picture of the condition of that city under the visitation of the cholera. A fellow in New Haven trying to roh a crap vine, instead of a bunch of the fruit carried off a charge of grape shot. A reception more mi neralogical and less botanical than he had anti cipated.

TIIE Trustees of this Institution, situated in Brookville, Montgomery County, Mary land, about 20 miles from Washington, and 28 from Baltimore and Frederick Cities, deem it proper to inform the public that they have en gaged Nathan C. Brooks, A. M. as Principal ot this Academy. Mr. Brooks is a gentleman o most unexceptionable character, of high standf ing as a scientific and classical scholar, and of very considerable experience in the education of youth, having been very advantageously known for some years past as the Principal of Franklin Academy at Reisterstown; and the high reputation which that school attained un der him, is strong evidence of his qualifications for such a station. The central position and convenient distance of Brookville Academy from the cities of Wash ington, Baltimore, and Frederick; its retired si tuation and location in a healthy, moral, and intelligent neighborhood, in which the retail of spiritous liquors is prohibited by an express act of the Legislature, and where there is, conse quently, less danger of the youthful mind beco ming contaminated by the frequent observa tion of vice and immorality; together with the high moral and scientific qualifications of Mr. Brooks, the Board of Trustees flatter themselves will give their Academy claims upon public pa tronage which are surpassed by none, and per haps equalled by very few, similar institutions in the Slate. Mr. Brooks will enter upon his duties in the Academy on the 8th September next, and will be assisted by three gentlemen well qualified to instruct the pupils in their respective depart ments. The terms for tuition in English, Mathema tics, and Ancient Languages, Board, Washing, Rent, and Fuel, 830 37£ cents per quarter. The modern languages are 86 per quarter each. No money will be required in advance, for either board or tuition; but respectable references must be given to the President of the Board of Trustees, on appiication for admission. For a more, detailed statement of the course of studies, regulations, dec. of this Institution, the Board will refer the public to the accompa nying prospectus of the Institution. HENRY HOWARD. M. D.
