' A Yankee "Admiral.-?We see by the last Concur J Patriot, that a New Hampshire hov bv the name of Thomas F. ^ J ni Williams, son of a former clergyman in the town of Meredith, has become an j Admiral, Count Zinzechoff, in the Russian Navy. It seems that he was in earlv youth a clerk in a store at Meredith Bridge ; being naturally of a generous, bold, and ardent temperament, no sooner had he served out his.time. than he went to visit a relative in Portland for the purpose of'seeing a ship, and if possible, of ohtainingemployincnt in one. Heat length succeeded ; after one or two voyages he ' was taken dangerously ill at St. Peters, burg, and upon bis recovery through the aid of the American Consul, obtained a berth on board of a Russian merchant vessel, as aprivileged seaman. After a prosf>erous voyage in theii return home I 'the vessel -wus attacked by a piratical, corsair ; owing to the braverv and skill of Williams the pirates were beaten off and j the vessel arrived at her destined port in j safety.?The Emperor' Alexander hear- j ing of this brilliant exploit, was so much j pleased with the braverv and good conduct j of Williams, as to send for him to visit j his palace; the result of the interview was iiis appointment as senior Midshipman in the Russian Navy.

HEAR BOTH SIDES. in Finn the Washington Globe. th Great alacrity of the Webster At I minis- Ik tration in complying xrith the British dc- te tnands.?H our Washington Ministers had cc heen accessories in the Caroline affair, se they could not have shown greater an.x- j sh iety to get a .comrade out, than they do lv to get McLeod out of the scrape. When of this trial was about to come on at Lock- pi port, Mr. Attorney General Crittenden w was despatched to interpose in his be- ai half. It seeins that a triple plot was or then laid to open tiie way for his escape, w! One is shown in the Legislative attempt rii to authorizej^ovcrnor Seward's Attorney lo General to dnter a nolle prosequi. This sti was found upon experiment to he rather E a hazardous'business, as it was likely, for w< Wh'g popularity along the Canadian bor- ? dor; and forthwith we see the second of contrivance to deliver him without a tri- he al. He is, brought to the city of New ti< York under Juibeas corpus, to see if a come hi otf cannot Ire found in a plea to the ju- th risdiction, or some other pretence in tne fo shape of a point of law. Governor Se- ? ward's Attorney General, and his District Attorney, (both as anxious to let him go as Seward is to keep the Virginia negrouipfllpr.\ are to arirue in behalf of the | State; and to! Mr. Webster himself, in- j!a stead of Mr. Crittenden, has found it e convenient to goto New York, just in the nick of time, to give the judges the advantages of his legal lore and private J counsels. If the judges should not be p| able with those aids to malic a loop in the Uj law sufficiently large to enable McLeod jn to escape without making so great a th breach that all the world must see through al it, then the third plan is to be adopted, pi that of making a reconnaissance round di the State on a change of venue, to find a oj jury to acquit him. "Change, change," is Mr. Webster's countersign?and there ^ -is no old lawver who does not understand . " . I' the advantage of a change of venue in ^ criminal dases, where the neighborhood knofw*lhc circumstances of "the case too y near 11, sunuuuu?.u , e axe, and all the frightful parapher)!ia of a high treason execusion. What strange union of tenderness, enthusims and fortitude did not the above traits diibit ! His fortitude, indeed, never rsook him. On the night previous to s death, he slept soundly as ever ; and hen the fatal morning dawned, he arose, iclt down and prayed, ordered some ilk which he drank, wrote two letters -one to his brother in America, and the her to the Secretary of State, enc'osiff it?and then desired the sheriff to he iformed that he was ready.
