 eral MILLER. the following sketch of Bolivar IS extracted. It appears to have been drawn without prejudice or partiaty.

 "The person of Gen. Bolivar is thin, and somewhat below the middle size.' He dresses with taste, and has an easy military walk. He is very bold rider, and capable of un- dergolng great fatigue. His manners are good, and hIs address unaffected, but not pre- possessing. It is said that in his youth. he was rather handsome, and his complexion is rather sallow; his hair. originally very black. IS now mixed with gray. His eyes are dark ana penetrating. but generally downcast, or turned askance, when he speaks his nose is well formed. his forehead high and broad, the lower part ofhis face is sharp the expression Ot hls countenance is care worn, lowering, and sometimes rather firm. His temper spirited oy aduIatl0n. IS fiery and capricious. His O. p'nlons of men and things are variable.

 He IS rather prone to personal abuse, but makes ample amends to those who will nut up with it. Towards such his resentments are not lasting. He is passionate admirer ot the fair sex. hut jealous to excess. He is fond of waltzing, is d very quick but not ve- ry graceful dancer. His mind is of the most active description; when not more stirringlv employed ne is always reading, dictating let ters, SLc. or cOnvcrsing. His voice is loud and harsh, but he speaks eloquently on all sub jects. His reading has been principally coz fined to French authors; hence the galiicisms so common in his productions. He is an ina- pressiUe writer. but his style is vitated by an affectation of grandeur. Speaking so well as he does. it is not wonderful that he should be more fond of hearing himseftaI than of ls- tening to others, and apt to engross couver- sation in the society he receives. He enter tains numerously and no one has more skill iui cooks, or gives better dinners but he is nlmseif very abstemiOus, in both visiting and drinking; so that he seldom takes his place at his own table until the repast is nearly o- yer, having probably dined in private on a plain dish or two. He is fond of giving toasts. which he prefaces in the most eloquent man. ner; and his enthusiasm is so great. that be frequently mounts his chair, or the table to propose them. Although the cigar is almost universally used in South America, Bolivar never smokes, nor does he permit smoking in hls presence. He is never without proper officers waiting, and keeps up considerable degree of etiquette. Disnterested in the ex- treme with regard to pecuniary affairs, he is lnsatiably cOvetous flame. @5a

 The Philadelphia Sentinel states, that "Dt. Tobias Watkins, recently fourth Auditor in District Judge, where he is charged wifh sum dry fraudulent practices in procuring money from the Treasury. An order for the remo- val oft the prisoner to the place oftriat was pro- cured by the District Attorney, and on Fri day, at noon, Dr. Watkins was taken to Wash ington under an escort of the Marshal. Ru- 'nOurs upon this subject, adds the Sentinel, have been in circulation for some time back, which, as the law is taking its course,. ought not to be repeated in public journal and we therefore refrain" We were told some days since, when announcing the death of Mir. Hen shaw, that Dr. Watkins was implicated in the allcdged frauds upon the Treasury. Itis we'll known, that instances often occnr. where 1t IS necessary for the Secretary of the Treasury to draw his warrants in blank-the blanks to be filled by the proper subordinate Officer.-- During part of MT. Craw ford's admnistra- tion of the Treasury, the warrants were not e. ven signed by him, but .fac sin.ite was used. The frauds now imputed to the Fourth Audi tor, are alleged, as we understand, to have been committed by filing the blanks of war rants with larger sums than were required for different items of the public expenditure. and the excess, it is alleged, has been pocketed by those who are responsible. As to MT: Hen shaw. he was unquestionaSly insane, when he terminated his life. He was subject to fits ot Arrangement, and was labouring under this malady while in this city last summer, In regard to Dr. Watkins. the accused, It IS no more than sheer justice to remark, that in the time, place, and manner ofhis arrest, there seems to have been, in all respects. an unne. cessary exercise of power. Dr. Watkins had been on visit to Boston, and was returning with all convenient speed te face his accusefs. who had been circulating reports to his disad- vantage during his temporary absence rom the seat of Government. Opinion should not therefore be prejudiced in his case. by the aP-

 parently ignominious manner in which he has

 been dragged to Washington. And it may not be improper to add, that whatever inc0- herent remarks may have been made by Hen shaw, and whether his delirium was the ita- mediate consequence Ofa troubled mind. or of disease, the character of one who has hereto fore stood we'll in the community. cannotweIl be affected thereby.-N.
