biographical sketch of this extraordinary man cannot be unacceptable to the public. During the first fifty years of his life he was remarkable only for his stupidity and beastly drunkenness. About 18 years ago, while lighting his pipe, he suddenly fell back upon his bunk, upon which he was then sitting, and continued in a state of insensibility for six or eight hours: his family supposing him dead, had made pre72,187,301 parations for laying him out, and while in the act of removing him from his bunk, he revived. His first words were, "don't be alarmed, I have seen heaven: call the nation together, that I may tell them what I have seen and heard." The nation having assembled at his house, he informed them he had seen four beautiful young men, who had been sent from heaven by the Great 58,732,200 Spirit, and who thus addressed him"The Great Spirit is angry with you and all the red men, and unless you immediately refrain from drunkenness, lying, stealing, &c. you shall never enter that beautiful place which we will now shew you." He stated that he was then conducted by these young men to the gate of Heaven, which was opened, but he was not allowed to enter; that it was more beautiful than any thing they could conceive or he describe, and that the inhabitants appeared to be perfectly happy; that he was suffered to remain there three or four hours, and was then re-conducted by the same young men, who, on taking 32,000,000 their leave, promised they would visit him yearly; and commanded him to inform all other Indians what he had seen and heard. He immediately visited the different tribes of Indians in the west part of the states, Queidas excepted. They all put the most implicit faith in what he told them, and revered him as a Prophet. The consequence has been, that from a filthy, lazy, drunken, wretched set of beings, they have become a cleanly, industrious, sober, and happy people. The Prophet has continued, as he says, to receive regular annual visits from these heavenly messengers immediately after this, he, in his turn, visited the different tribes. He was on one of these annual visits at the time of his decease. It will be proper to observe, that he was called the PEACE Prophet, in contra-distinction to the brother Tecumseh, who was called the WAR Prophet.

Death of the Indian Prophet.

(From an American Paper.) Onondaga, Aug. 23.-Died at the Onondaga Castle, ou Sunday last, one of the chiefs of the Alleganies, well known through this country as the Indian Prophet. Those who have been acquainted with the influence which this man's preaching has had upon the conduct of the six nations, (the Oneidas excepted) cannot but look upon his death as a severe dispensation of Divine Providence. We think that a short

The Em peror, to acknowledge the attention of Mr. Roselli to the Cabinet of Antiquities, and the constant fidelity with which this respectable old man, now 85 years of age, has served the state for above 50 years, anidst so many political vicissitudes, has, by a letter from Paris, conceived in the most gracious terms, conferred on him the Cross of the Knights of the Order of Leopold.

Vienna Sept. 16. The day before yesterday will have a place in history: an important diplomatic act was executed at the Imperial Palace of Schonbrunn. The Archduchess Maria Lousia went thither, and in order to extinguish all party spirit, to prevent all sorts of discussion that perverse minds might excite, her Imperial Highness signed the formal act, by which she renounces for herself and her son the title of Majesty, and all claims whatever to the Crown of France. Her imperial Highness will henceforth assume the titles of Arch

duchess of Austria and Duchess of Parma; her son will be called the Hereditary Prince of Parma.

Emigration.

The letters from the French ports state that enigration is greater from France, than ever was known. Every vessel that quits a French port direct for America, is loaded with artisans, manufacturers, aud people of property.

Mr. Jowett, at Malta, has received from Mr. Sait the most ready assurances of co-operation. M. Salt will, immediately ou his arrival in Egypt open a communication with Abyssinia, with the principal persons in which country his visits have made him well acquainted.

GERMANY.

Effects of British Benevolence. The following letter justifies all, and more than all, that we have repeatedly suggested, on the influence obtained by our country, in consequence of its prompt and liberal benevolence, exerted in behalf of the people of Germany, ou several occasions. It presents a powerful picture of the gratitude of a people, as well as of the writer's heart. The simplicity and candour of Mr. Steinkopff needs no eulogy to those who have the honour of that gentieman's acquaintance: we speak from personal knowledge of many years' standing.

Paris, Sep. 5.---The packing up in the Museum and Libraries goes on rapidly. Paintings, copper-piates, books, models, every thing is considered as good prize that has any kind of connection with Germany. In the library of the arsenal, the librariau wanted to make some resistance to the packing up, because the Prussian officers produced no writt n order, but he was turned out, and soldiers put into his house for a punishment. M Denon had kept a collection of engravings from Vienna for himself; but being threatened with a domiciliatory visit, he sent the collection, in his anxiety, to the Royal Library, where the Emperor of Austria enquired for it in vain last year. It is probable that much will be embezzled. Many articles are not to be found.

EGYPT.

Honourable appointment. The appointment of Heury Salt, Esq. the Abyssinian Traveller, to be both Consul-General of Egypt, and Agent for the East-India Company for that quarter, will greatly facilitate the exertions of the Societies which are aiming at the diffusion of Christian Truth in those regions. Mr. Salt

pled calamity, by British generosity. But in no place you would have observed those sensations and expressions of gratitude in a more striking manner than in Hesse Homberg, the residence of the Landgrave of that name. I spent a few days in the house of the Rev. Mr. Breidenstein, Secretary to the Committee of Distribution, which has dispensed the gifts sent from England in a most judicious and disinterested manner; not confining itself to the sufferers within the dominions of the Landgrave, but extending relief to the adjoining parts, some of which had suffered still more severely,

"Mr. Breidenstein invited the Committee to meet me, and Irejoice to become thus personally acquainted with men who had so laboriously exerted themselves for the benefit of their fellow creatures; minutely investigating the different cases brought before them, and apportioning relief according to the emergency of the case. Every one seemed anxious to shew me respect and kindness for the work's sake in which I had been engaged, as one of the instruments of British benevolence. The Mayor of the town, as well as the chief magistrate of a neighbouring village, officially came to me in the name of the inhabitants, to request me to be the organ of their warmest gratitude with the London Committee. But even then their

gratitude did not stop. The Landgrave

himself sent for me, the moment after he had returned from Frankfort, in order personally to testify his sense of obligation for what had been done for the alleviation of the distresses of his suffering subjects and countrymen. The Landgravine, with several of the Princesses of the House of Anhalt Dessau, united in expressions of similar feelings. They paid also particular attention to Mrs. Steinkopf, because she belonged to that nation which had manifested such disinterested Christian kind

ness.

"When we left Hamburgh, Mr. Brei. denstein accompanied us, pointing out, in the road, several villages, the inhabitants of which had derived considerable relief from British bounty. When we came to Heidelberg, a benevolent German clergyman, whom I had never seen before, offered us, in the most hospitable manner, his house, and paid us the kindest attention, merely on account of our connection with the British nation and the London Committee of Relief. Thus you see, from a few instances I have selected, that the gifts bestowed on the unfortunate have not been bestowed in vain.-I have now convinced myself, that great, extensive, substantial, lasting good has been done, for which I cannot but bless God, and feel the sincerest regard and affection for all those who have been active in this work of faith and labour of love. Nor wish I ever to forget your's, my esteemed friends, and the distinguished services you rendered to suffering humanity. May the God of Heaven be your shield, and your very great reward.-Mr. Breidenstein called my attention to some specific cases for which the Homburgh Committees had been unable to do what they wished to do; on which account I shall place £20. to their further disposal. I have also been informed

from authentic quarters, that the village of Kehl, and other places in its vicinity, have bad to endure peculiar hardships, which will induce me to do something more for its suffering inhabitants. I remain, with the greatest respect for yourseives, and the Members of the Committee, your's,

In consequence their convents will sche has given orders that they shall be put into a proper state of repair, and furnished by the end of October. They will have the liberty not only to follow the rules of their orders, but also to make collections for their support, as they formerly did.

The order of the Nuns of St. Clarissa was so strict, that they always wore hair shirts, and ate meat only once in four years. There was in their convent a bell, which was never rung but when they were entirely destitute of food, then the pious inhabitants hastened to bring them relief. -Journal de Frankfort, Oct. 1.)

HOLLAND.

Comparative State of Trade and Commerec striking contrast.

The Governor of North Holland, in his speech to the States of that province, delivered on the 1st of July last, drew a striking picture of the contrast between the situation of Holland, under the domination of France, and that which it at present exhibits. The following are some extracts from this document:

"At the former period," he observed, "our merchant vessels, which once formed so considerable a portion of domestic opulence, were for the most part taken, sold, destroyed, or become unserviceable; our ports were shut to all, and all ports were shut to us; while we, chained up by the unjust decrees of Buonaparte, were only prevented from trading with any nation upon earth, but even our commercial relations with France were narrowed and subjected to all the oppression of tolls and douaniers. Our fisheries were annihilated; not only the deep sea fishery, but that of Greenland and Davis' Straits, were put an
