BY OLIVER WENDELL IIOLMM. While the events of the campaign were thus passing around New York, Congress, having assembled in Philadelphia, were engaged on the momentous question of a Declaration of Independence. Many of the separate provinces had already acted on the subject. North Carolina took the lead, and passed a vote instructing her delegates to concur with the other colonies in declaring independence. Massachusetts followed. Virginia next wheeled into the ranks, and then Connecticut and New Hampshire. Maryland opposed it; while the delegates from the remaining colonies were instructed to unite with the majority, or left free to act as their judgments might dictate. Thus instructed, the representslives of the people assembled in solemn conclave, and long and anxiously surveyed the perilous ground on which they were treading. To recede was now impossible —to go on seemed fraught with terrible consequenccs. The struggle hod mt been for independence, but for the sscurity of rights, in which they hsd the sympathy and aid of some of the wisest statesmen of England. To declsre free would cut them off from all this sympathy, and provoke at once the entire power of England against them. The result of the long and fearful conflict that must follow was more than doubtful. For twenty days Congress was tosed on a tea of perplexity. At length, Richard Henry Lee, shaking off the fetters that galled his noble spirit, [June 7th] arose, and in a clear, deiiber. ale tone, every accent of which rang to the farthest extremity of that crowded hall, read, "Resolved, That these United Colo* nies are and ought to be free and independent Slates, and that all political connection between us and the Slate of Great Britain is and ought to be totally dissolved." John Adams, in whose soul glowed the burning future, seconded it in a speech so full of impassioned fervor, thrilling eloquence, and prophetic power, that Congress was carried away as by a resistless wave be- THE RETREAT FROM MOSCOW. Hut Ndy'a exhausting efforts were not yet over. Bonaparto dared not relieve, him from his dangerous and important, post. 1 hough the rearguard (tad melted away again and again under his command/ lie still renewed its ranks, and presented the same determined front to the enemy.— At the awful passage of the Bercsina, ha again stood between the army and destruction. At length the scattered remnants of the I' rench legions reached the boundary, ot the Russian territory. Ney arrived destitute of troops—the . rearguard had again melied away. Collecting in haste a few hundred men, whom he iound in the town, (Wilna) he plantpd twenty-four cannon on the rear, and kept back the enemy all day, while the army was retiring. The next morning he continued the defence, but his Roldiers, seeing their comrades bending their footsteps towards France, began to follow after, until he was left almost alone. Still true to his duty, he yet continued to cover the retreat of the army he had so often saved. All had not yet passed the Niemen, and by persuasion arid threats, be collected thirty men, and with musket in hand defended with this handful the gate of \\ ilna. At length, vvhen the last man was over, he slowly retired through the streets, with his face to the cneinv, and, crossing the river, "was the last "of tho Grand Army who left the Russian territo. ry."—Ileadly. Slowly the mist o'er the meadow was creeping, Bright on the dewy buds glistened the sun, When from hi. couch while his children were sleeping, Rose the bold rebel and ehouldered hi* gun. Waring her golden vale Over the silent dale, Blithe lookee the morning on cottage and spire ; Hufbed was hid parting sigh, While from lib noble eye, Flashed the last sparkle of liberty's fire. On the smooth gretn where the fresh leaf is sprinj- The blazing to«v6rs of Moscow, the turning point of Napoleon's invasion and his fortune, had scarcely crumbled into ashes before tho fated army turned their faces homeward. We should like to be made acquainted with the conversations of Napoleon and Ney, as they sat in the Kremlin, and talked over the disastrous issue they had met, and the oBly way of escape fiom total annihilation. The fiery and impetuous harangues of the forme-, and the blunt characteristic replies of the former, while the-crackling of the flames, and the falling of columns an# walls without were borne to their ear*, must have been in the highest degree dramatic, From the heap of ruins, and fhe solitude which was more prophetic than tho uproar of the storm, Ney was appointed to cover the retreat ; and the whole history of his conduct during that memorable retreat seems to belong rather to some hero of romance than an actual man. With a mere handful of mon, he placed himself between the French and Russian armies, and by his incredible exertions, desperate valor, and exhau8tless ingenuity, saved a portion ot that host which would otherwise have been totally annihilated. Without provisions, almost without arms, he battled tho well, tried and countless legions of Russia back from his beloved emperor—and over the wintry fields of snow, and amid the driving storm, with a heart untamed, and a wil! unsubdued, he hovered like a protecting spirit over the divided and flying ranks of his countrymen. The soldiers, exhausted and despairing, threw their muskets Trom them into the snow diifls, and laid down by thousands to die. Cold, benumbed, and famine-struck, this ghost of an army struggled on through the deep snow, with nothing but the tall pines swaying and roaring mournfully in the blast, to serve as land marks for the glazing eye, while an enraged and well disciplined army was press ing in tlie rear. Clouds of ravens, whose dusky forms glanced like spirits through the snow filled air, croaked over the fulling columns ; while troops of dogs that had followed the army from Moscow, fell on the prostrate forms before life was wholly extinct. The storm howled by as the soldiers sunk at night in the snow to rest, many to rise no more, while the morning sun, if it shone at all, looked cold and dimly thro' the flying clouds of a northern sky. There were long intervals when not a drum or a trumpet note broke the muffled tread of the staggering lesions. On the rear of such an army, and in sight of such horrors, did Ney combat. Nothing but a spirit as unconquerable rtfc fate itself could have sustained him, or kept alive the flagging courrage of his troops, Stumbling every moment over the dead bodies of their comrades who had marched but a few hours in advance of them, thousands threw away thefr arms in despair, and wandered off into the wilderness to die with cold or be slain by the Cossacks. Yet Ney kept up a firm band around him that all the power ot Russia could no*, conquer. Now ordering his march with the skill of a general, and now, with musket in hand, fighting like a common soldier, the moral force of his example accomplished what authority alone never could have done. At length the brave and heroic commander seemed to have reached the crisis of his fate, nnd there was no escape from the doom that hung over him. The Russians had finally placed themselves between the French army and that rearguard, now dwindled down to a few thousand. Ignorant of his danger, Ney was leading his columns thro' a dense fog to the banks of the Losmina, along whfch were strewed the dead bodies of his countrymen, when a battery of for. ty cannon suddenly poured a destructive fire into the very heart of his rank?. The next moment the heights before him appeared lined with dense masses of infantry and artillery. Ney had done all that man could do, and here his career seemed about to close. He was summoned to capitulate. He replied, " A Marshal of France never surrenders," and closing his columns marched upon the batteries. The Russians were driven from their guns ; but unable to force his way through the dense masses ot infantry, Ney was finally compelled to foil back, with the loss of halt hiB men. Finding the enemy extending their lines on every side, to hem him in, he marched back towards Smolensko for an hour, then, forming a body of four thousand men, turned north towards the Dnieper. D Having reached the stream in safety, he arranged his fragment of an army so as to marcti over the ice at a moment's warning, and then waited three hours before cossing to allow the weak and wounded stragglers to come in. n« is Jnkint' ut Brirk Builinf, •»» *—r •/ »mUu*laiWs Sim—tUurt. ■ s "Oasstts k. loimsiL1' Is published ereryPtMsiy, .1 Two Ooi.t»as per annum; fwo DolUrs uid Fifty tenls will bo charged if not paM wllM" Wo pit par will be discontinued until *11 srrusrs*** ate paid AuvsanasisnTsaro inserted conspicuously *' , P0' ' las tDcr suusre of fourtuen lint's for three Insertl out audTwsrrv-rtrs Csirrs sddltlonalforeverysubsequeo nmtrtlon.

Ins'ead of the cases and composing sticks, and the compositor standing ct his work we see a person sitting before a machine with keys like a piano, which he plays on incessently, and every touch on the tangent is followed by a click ; the letter already in its place in the long mahogany channel prepared for it. The whole is excessively ingenious. In fact it is fairy work. The most wonderful partis that" it distributes the already used types at the same time that it sets the new page, and with an exactness perfectly sure. No mistake can ever occur. The compositor by this  chine does four limes as much work as another workman, but as he requires an assistant to line and page the set type, this brings it to twice the amount of type set, The whole is so clean ar.d pleasant that it will probably soon be a favorite employment for women. The machine occupies a very small space, not more than a large chair and is beautifully made of hard' woods, brass and steel. Its success is now beyond all doubt. The propiHors of the Faodrelandet are so gratified by the one they now have, that they have ordered another. The price is 2,400 Danish dollars. It will last apparently a century or two' without repair. Mr. Sorer.son, tho inven, or himself a comriosiior all his life, kind-, ly shows the machine to any visitor. Ot" course a compositor cannot set with this machine at once ; it will take a short time for him to become familiar with the details, but he is tiien a gentleman comparted to his old osmrades.

M$IC£ Office with James Helm, Esq., For taking away our charters, abolish ing our most valuable laws, and altering tundamenially the lorins ol our government.The die was cast, and every man was now compelled to meet the dreadful issue. Still weighed dowu with fear, Congress directed the secretary to omit in the journal the names ol the bold mover and seconder of this resolution, lest they should be selected as special objects of vengeance by Great Britain. The resolution was made the special question for next day, but remained untouched for three days, and was finally deferred to the first o( July, to allowing a commiitee appointed for that purpose to dralt a declaration of independence. When the day arrived iho declare tion was taken up and debated article by article. The discussion continued for three days, and was characterized by great excitement; at length the various seetions having been gone through with, the next day, July 4ih, was appointed for final ac tion. It was soon known throughout the city, and in the morning, before Congress assembled, the streets were filled with ex cited men, some gathering in groups engaged in eager discussion, and others moving in groups towards the State House. All business was forgotten in the momentous crisis the country had now reached. No sooner had the members taken their seats than the multitude gathered in a dense mass around the entrance. The old bell man mounted to the belfry, to proclaim the joyful tidings o( freedom so soon as the final vole had passed. A brighl.eyed boy was stationed below, to give the signal.— Around that bell, brought from England, had been cast more than twenty years before, the prophetic sentence, " Proclaim Libekty throughout all the land unto ALL THE INHABITANTS THEHEOF," Al though ilk loud clang had olten aounded over the oity, the proclamation engraved on its iron lip had never yet been spoken aloud. It was expected lhat the final vote would be taken without any delay, but hour after hour wore on. and no report came from lhat mysterious hall, where the fate of a continent was being settled. The multitude grew impatient—the old bellman leaned over the railing, 6training his eyes downward till his heart misgave him, and hope vielded to fear. But at length, i t two o'clock, the door ol thfD hall opened, and a voice exclaimed, "It has passed." The words leapad like lightning from lip to lip, followed by huzzas that shook the building. The boy-sentinel turned to the belfry, clapped his * hands, and shouted, "Ring—ring /" The desponding bellman electrified into life by the joyful news, seized the iron tongue nnd hurled it backward and lorward with a clang that startled every heart ill Philadelphia like a bu. gle blast. " Clang—clang'' it resoundel on, ever higher and clearer, and more joyous, blending in its deep and ihtilling vibrations, and proclaiming in long and loud acoents all over iho laiicf the glorious motto thai encircled it- Glad messengers caught the tidings as it floated out on the air, and sped off in every direction to bear it onward. When the news reached New York, the bells were Bet ringing, and the excited multitude, swaying hither and thither, at length gathered around the bowling green, and seizing the leaden equestrian statue of George 111. which alood there, tore it into fragments. It wai afterwards run into bullets and hurled against his majesty'* troop*. When the declaration arrived io Boston, the people gathered to old Faneuil Hall to hear it read, and a* the last sentence fell from the lips of the reader, a shout went up, and soon from every fortified height and every battery, the thunder of oannop re-echoed the joy.

When in tlie coilrse of human events, it brconies necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them with another, ami lo a«sume, among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal statien which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect lor the opinions of mankind rt quires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self evident that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, that among these are life, l8eijy, and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights governments are instituted among cjeriving their just powers fremjthe consent of the g«vcr ned ; whenever any lorifi of government, laying its foundation upon such principles, and organizing its powers in such form as to them shall seem most likely lo effect their saiety and happiness. Prudence, in deed, will dictate that government long established should not be changed for light and transient causes ; and, accordingly, all experience hath ahown, that mankiod are more disposed to suffer, while event* ire sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which the) are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design lo reduce them under ab*ol"te despotism, It is their right, it is their dutv to throw off such government and so provide new guards for tbeir future security. Such haa been the patient sufferance of these Colonies, and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former systems of government. The history of the present King ol Great Britain, is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all hnv. ing in direct object, the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these Stales. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world. He is, at this time, transporting large armies of foreign mercenaries, to complete the work of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun, wi;h circumstances of cruelty and perfidy, scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the head ol a civilized naiion.
