From the general embarrassment of the times, the deranged state of the domestic exchanges, and the difficulties attending the disposal of Bank Bills oat of their immediate circles of issue, we have been solici ted by agents and Venders to postpone the drawing of the above scheme, for a short time, until the pre sent crisis in the affairs of the country shall have passed away.

The two rival bands, however, had not long been mingled in this social manner, before their anci nt jealousy began to break out in a new form. The senior chief of the Shoshonies was a thinking man of observation. He had been among the Perces : listened to their new code of morality and religion received from the white men, and attended their de votional exercises. He had observed the effect of all this in elevating the iribein the estima tion of the white men, and determined, by the same means, to gain for his own tribe a 8upe-> riority over their ignorant rivals, the Eutaws. He accordingly assembled his people and promulgated among them the mongrel doc trines and form worship of the Nez Peices ; recommending the same to their adoption. ? The Shoshonies were struck with the novelty at least of the measure, and entered into it with spirit. They began to observe Sundays and hollidays, and to have their devotional dances, and chants, and other ceremonials ; about which the ignorant Eutaws knew no thing; while they exerted their usual competU tion in shooting and horse racing, and the re nowned game of hand. Matters were going on thus pleasantly and prosperously in this motley community of white and red men, when one morning two stark free trappers, arrayed in the height of savage finery, and mounted on steeds as fine and as fiery as themselves, and all jingling with hacks' bells, came galloping, with whoop -ami halloo, into the camp. They werefresb from the winter encamp ment of the American Fur Company, in the Green river valley, and had come to pay their old comrades of Captain Bonneville's company a visit. An idea may be formed, from the scenes we have already given of conviviality in the wilderness, of the manner in which these game birds were received by those of their feather in the camp. What feasting ? what revelling ? what boasting ? what bragg ing ? what ranting and roaring, and racing, and gambling, and squabbling and fighting, ensued among ttiese boon companions. Cap tain Bonneville, it is true, maintained always a certain degree of law and order in his camp, and checked each fierce excess. But the trap pers, in their seasons of idleness and relaxs ation, require a degree of license and indul gence, to repay them for the long privations and hardships of their periods of active ser vice. In the midst ofaH this feasting and frolick ing, a freak of the tender passion intervened, and wrought a complete change in the scene. Among the Indian beauties in the camp of the Eutaws and Shoshonies, the free trappers dis covered two who had whilom figured as their squaws. These connexions frequently take place for a season, and sometimes continue for years; if not perpetually, but are apt to be bro ken when the free trapper starts off suddenly on some distant and rough expedition. In the present instance, these wild blades were anxious to regain their belles; nor were the latter loth once more to come under their protection. The free trapper combines, in the eye of an Indian girl, all that is dashing and heroic in a warrior of her own race, whose gait, and garb, and bravery he emulates, with all that is 'gallant and glorious in the white man. And then the indulgence with which he treats her; the finery in which bedecks her out ; the state in which she moves : : the sway she enjoys over both his purse and person, instead of being the drudge and slave ol an Indian husband, obliged to carry his pack, and build his lodge, and make his fire, and bear his cross humors and dry b^ows. No; there is no comparison, in the eyes of an as piring belle of the wilderness, between a free trapper and an Indian brave. With respect to one of the parties, the matter was easily arranged. The beauty in question ?vas a pert little Eutaw wench that hadNteen taken prisoner, in some war excur sion by a Shoshonie. She was readily ran somed for a few articles of trifling value, and forthwith figured about the camp in fine array, "with rings on her fingers and bells on her toes,*' and a tossed up coquettish air, that made her the envy, admiration, and abhor rence of all the leathern dressed, hard working squaws of her acquaintance. As to the other beauty, it was quite a dif ferent matter. She had become the wife of a Shoshonie brave. It is true he had another wife of older date than the wife in question ; who, therefore, took command in his house hold, and treated his spouse as a slave ; but the latter was the wife of his last fancy ? his latest caprice ; and was precious in his eyes. All attempt to bargain with him, therefore, was useless; the very proposition was repulsed with anger and disdain. The spirit of the trapper was roused ; his pride was piqued as well as his passion. He endeavored to pre vail upon his quondam mistress to elope with him. His horees were fleet; the winter niglits were long and dark ; before daylight they would be beyond pursuit ; and once at the . I ? T ? ? - 'V encampment at Gre-'P river valley ? they might set the whole band of Shoshomes at ^Tbe Indian girl listene ! and l00*?4- iIer heart yearned afler the ease and I ef*hnto f condition ttf a trapper's bride, And be freed iroin the capricious coi itroK the premier squaw; but she dreadeji the falura of the plan, and the fury of a Sbosbo^bjwb^d. Tliey parted ; the girl in tears, and tlto mad cap traveller more mad than ever wit s> thwarted passion. Their interviews had, probably, been detect ed, and the jealousy of the ShodKjnie brave aroused ; a clamor of angry voice* WM ^ear in his lodge, with the sound of blows, and ot female weeping and lamenting. Al nignij as the trapper lay tossing on bit peUeJ, ? voice whispered at the door of his His m stress stood trembling before I"?--* She was ready to follow withersoever he should lead. In &n instant he was up ??e out. He had two prime horses sure, Md swift of foot, and of great wio*v With stealthy* quiet they #fcr<T IWwght up saddled, and in a few taomettts 'he and m? prize were careering over the snow, with which the whole country was covered. In the eagerness of escape. Ihey had made no provision for their journey ; days must elapse before they could reach Uieir haven of safety, aud mountains and prairies be traversed, wrapped in all the desolation of winter, tot the present, however, they thought of nothing butHight; urging their horses forward over the dreary wastes, and fancying, in the fowl ing ot every blast, they heard the yell of the PUAt early dawn the Shoslionie became aware of his loss. Mounting his swiftest horse, he set off in hot pursu.t. He soon found the trail of the fugitives, and spuired on ui hopes of overtaking them. The winds, hojvever, which swept the valley, had drifted the light snow into the prints made by the horses hoofs In a little time he lost all trace of them, and was completely thrown out of the chase. He knew however, the situation of the camp to ward which they were bound, anda direct course through the mountains by which he might arrivtT there sooner than the fugitives Through the most rugged defiles, therefore, he urged his course day aud night, scarce pausing until he reachcd the camp. It was some time before the fugitives made their appearance. Six days had they been travers^ ing the wintry wilds. Ihey came, haggard with hunger and fatigue, and their horses faltering under them. The first object that met their eyes, 011 entering the camp, was the Shoshonie brave. He rushed, knife in hand, lo plunge it in the heart of her that had proved false to him- The trapper threw him self before the form of his cowering mistress, and, feeble and exhausted as he was, pre pared for a deadly struggle. The Shoshbnib paused, his habitual awe of the white man checked his arm ; the trapper's friends crowd ed to the spot and arrested him. A parley ensued. A kiud of crim. cotL adjudicator took place, such as frequently OCCURS in civilized life. A couple of horses wm declared louo a fair compensation _fdr the loss Of a woman who had previously lost her heart; with this the Sboshonie brave was fain W pacify his passion. He returned to Captain Bonueville's camp somewhat crest fallen, it i? true, but parried the officious condolements of his friends by observing that two good hwses were very good pay for one bad viifc. Captain MarryatU The literati ot Philadelphia were most awfully taken in on the 6 h inst. It has been announced in the papers that Capt. Marryatt, the author of | Peter S.mple, &c. wffs in the city, and had taken lodgings at Sanderson's iiOtel. Ibis vrf&s the signal for the literary characters ?o the city of brotherly love to leave off their avocations to brush up t heir coats and whiskers, and start wiin one accord to pay the ' CaptolD their respccts. Journeymen were left without copy; boys were left to play. All mtfct see Marryatt, from the greatest to the least? from the profound and polished scholar who had written volumes, to the simp'e rhymster wuo was continually "writing himself down ap an ass," by composing senseless, jingling verses ?all set their faces, even like unto flints, towards the hotel where the worthy Captain was supposed to hold his levee. Much to twit mortification and surprise, poor fellows, they were informed by Mr. Sanderson that they had come to the wrong shop? that there was no such man there. Upon investigating the affair it was ascertained that a gentleman named Marrya t wa3 sojourning at the hotel, and the similarity of the names had probably given rise to the mistake. ?
