This power is one of the best on the Ohio Canal, south of Roscoe. It is situated at the foot of a level 8 miles in length, and commands nearly all the water which supplies the Canal for 17 miles below. The fall is six- teen feet, and the power is sufficient to move four run of stones the whole year. It is situated in the heart of one of the best grain-growing districts in Ohio. And on the 13th day of the same month they will sell at pub- lie vendue their valuable Flouring Mill, on the Hocking Valley Canal, at the town of Lancaster. This mill has four run of stones, and is now in successful operation. It is 8 miles south of the Ohio Canal, and at tme foot of a level of 16 miles. The fall at this mill is twenty-two feet. This is the only good Flour- ing Mill in the immediate vicinity of'the town of Lancaster, and there is no other site on which one could be erected to move by water power, the Company having secured by lease the whole water of the Canal at this point. The advantages of this mill are therefore very great. There is received annually into this mill and the several warehouses situated on the Canal, at not more than 80 rods distance, over 150,000 bushels of wheat. The terms of sale will be, one-fourth in hand, and the resi- due in three equal annual installments, with interest.

D. Philadelphia. The committee of the Philadelphia Medical Society for the investigation of the radical cure of Hernia, observe : Fully impressed with the extreme caution required in form- ing conclusions concerning changes of structure taking place in parts of the body, concealed not mnly by the integuments, but by tendinous matter and fascia, and where the nature of the dis- ease renders the opportunity of post mortem examination ex- ceedingly rare; your committee has been desirous to avoid that blameable haste in the decision of important questions which has too frequently given to plausible but ingenious methods of treatment a temporary reputation, to the abuse of public confi- dence, and the injury of the profession, by granting to empiri- cism the weight and influence of great names. The instruments of Dr. Chase have effected the permanent and accurate retention of the intestines in every case of hernia observed by the committee, without material inconvenience to the patient, and often under trials more severe than are usually ventured upon by those who wear other trusses ; trials which would be imprudent with any other apparatus known to thle committee. The committee are induced by the foregoing conclusions to recommend, in strong terms, the instruments of Dr. Chase to the confidence of the profession, as the best known means of mechanical retention in hernia, and as furnishing the highest chances of radical cure. "They have no hesitation in saying that, were they individu- ally affected with this terrible disease, they would resort to this method of treatment, with the triple view of securing their com- fort, safety, and ultimate chance of recovery. REYNELL COATES, M.D. WM. ASHMEAD, M D. ISAAC PARRISH, M. D. Committee." All must now admit of the radical cure of Hernia ; and that Dr. Chase's Trusses are decidedly the best yetinvented to effect that object."-Southern Medical and Surgical Journal. For the utility and excellence of these instruments, reference may be had to the principal physicians of this city, who are pre- pared to apply them. For sale by S. J. TODD, may 10-6t Agent.

STATE OF EUROPE.-NEXT CENSUS OF THE UNITED STATES. If I were to say that nearly the whole of Great Britain and Ireland, and the continent of Europe, are at thismo- ment closely bordering on a sanguinary revolution, I should be saying nothing but the truth." [London Correspondence of National Intelligencer. "t Mr. ADAMSj according to the newspapers, said in the House of Representatives: A member has spoken of CONSEQUENCES: IN THE EVENT OF WAR, if it were a war of principle and justice, consequences are secondary." [Correspondence of the New York American. There are many persons who would not sim- ply shrink with dread, but disgust, from the con- sequences of doctrines they are led to uphold, could they be made to anticipate the conse- quences of reducing their creeds to practice. One of the most dangerous symptoms of con- stitutional disorder in society, on both sides of the Atlantic, is, that, in opposition to princi- ples, consequences are not only of secondary, but of no consequence. In the abstract.so ought we to reason, provided we clearly discern what is principle, and can rationally assure ourselves of salutary results. But, how fearful must be the prospect of future times, when an immense num- ber of persons conceive they are in duty bound to take on themselves, and impose on others, the responsibility of consequences! Did such persons wait to consider how completely they throw them- selves into the net of designing demagogues, they would pause. It is not yet very long since a large share of Europe was an aceldama, from men contending that they were obeying the decrees of Heaven, and acting under duties above all human laws. What has been acted may be imitated, and blood and ruin follow the footsteps of men rushing forward regardless of consequences. But, quitting-these reflections, let us for a moment glance on Europe-on that part of the earth which holds the destinies of the nations within and without its limits. Europe may be subdivided into the active and passive nations, with the exception of Russia, partaking, as occa- sion serves, of both characters. In activity, Great Britain and France stand pre-eminent: in the passive class, Austria sustains her character of centuries. On the three south- ern peninsulas of Europe, Spain torn by civil war, and Portugal of little consequence in general policy; Italy, di- rect or indirect, under the influence of Austria; and Greece, a kingdom in name, anarchy in fact. In northern Europe, Sweden and Denmark, respectable as nations for their scale of intelligence, but politically monarchies, which in any great crisis must be moved by the impulse or attrac- tions of larger masses. Prussia, in many respects the most perfect Government which was ever formed on earth, the first which made intellectual improvement a fundamental part of state policy, but which, from position and the alli- ance of their royal families, must yield to Russian influ- ence. The German States, with people highly improved and civilized, and far more prone to peace than war, yet often forced into, and when so involved, terrible in war. Austria, holding a position which renders her the van- guard towards Russia, strong, even powerful, when called into action in conflict with the Western States of Europe or on the southward with Turkey; but, from their common Sclavonic population, feebly opposed to Russia. No other European- monarchy has so much power, however, to act as peacemaker as Austria. The policy of her Government, at least since the treaty of Hubertsberg, (1763,) has been peace ; though involved in the wars of the French revolu- tion, and in the end a gainer by treaties, her ancient policy has been since renewed. Austria is, in our idea, a des- potism ; but it must be confessed to be the. mildest of all despotisms. And another most honorable distinction is due to Austria: no other nation has ever appeared on our planet with a tithe of her physical force, which has en- croached so little on contiguous States. France now, as at distant periods since the age of Char- lemagne,-contains the most inflammable elements to set Europe-thie world on fire. With all the parchnlents cov- ered with diplomatic limits, the Rhine and the eastern bor- der of the Swiss cantons is also the true eastern border of France. In that generous, gallant, and brave nation, there are too .many who regard mytary glory the supreme good. It betrays ignorance of their national character to say that the French pant for war because discontented with Louis Philippe. A character conspicuous under Clovis, Charle- Imagne, Philip Augustus inthe Crusades, under Louis XIV, and through and since their own Revolution, lies deeper based than politicians are able or willing to admit. In real power, orrelative power, France has changed the least of any existing State in Europe during the last two centu- ries. Called into activity-and less is needed to produce such an effect in France than in any other nation of the Caucasian world-then is she felt like a well-pointed and two-edged sword. After the.close of the American Revolution, Europe generally, but France and Great Britain particularly, con- trained all the inflammatory elements of revolution, and from every feature of the times, it was the cast of a die which nation was to undergo the fiery ordeal. France 'tookthe lead and Britain the alarm; and now, at the end of fi ty years, the attitudes of the two nations are not essen- tially different. In both nations, much of vague, unde- fined, but dangerous views of the present and future are in- dulged. On which soil the "volcano will burst remains in the womb of Time. Taken apart- Great Britain, holding the extremes of the Eastern con- tinent, mistress of Indostan, extending her power in Afgh- anistan, Persia, and Tartary, whilst her writers, and even her legislators, are abusing Russia for encroachments on Turkey; seizing Breshire in Persia, and Aden in Arabia, whilst accusing Rdssia of instigating the Schah of Persia to besiege Herat, a city on the table-land of Asia: with the most extended commerce and manufacturing power ever united in the hands of the same people; holding the fine northwestern, archipelago of Europe as her seat of science, population, wealth, and grandeur; unequalled co- lonies in Asia, Africa, the West Indies, and in South and North America-no other nation had ever so much to risk in war, and yet she, threatens Russia, and her Tory party the United States. ' Russia, seated with her back to the frozen and inaccessi- ble regions of the north; dependent Sweden on her right, and the interminable Asia on her left; agitated Europe in front with her right foot on Turkey and left on Persia, and, in fine, her rlever-closed eyes on the whole earth- what other nation can expect to gain by war with such a Power-a Power ruling, direct or indirect, over at least one hundred millions of people, with an army of EIGHT HUN- DRED THOUSAND MEN, and, according to British authority, the third, if not the second, most efficient fleet on earth 1 Interrogate the past, and it will answer by pointing to the names of Charles XII and Napoleon; it will point, on the mips of Europe and Asia, to Sweden, Poland, Turkey, Persia, and Siberia, and trace the lines of Russian marches over Germany into Italy, Switzerland, and France. We changelin the balan e of power. But the next census must show a cha'iyge.or e consequence than that produced by any previous enumeration. Upon the most rigid analysis of progressive population, the Atlantic and interior num- bers will be equalized about 1843 or 1844; and, at the cen- sus of 1840-'41, the aggregate ought to be about seventeen million, eight in the central sections and nine along the Atlantic slope. We frequently see, and often hear of persons in all the fulness of worldly prosperity committing suicide. The writer of this article has witnessed more than one such melancholy circumstance, and is not altogether without fear of living to see his country inflicting on itself such a calamity. Parties, shouting principle while reckless of con- sequences, are ready-made instruments of national suicide. "Time," says a profound French philosopher, "destroys every thing made without his assistance." In our country, most profound contempt of time, past or to come, has been expressed, even in our legislative halls. What time pro- mises to do, and which no power without the aid of time ever did do, is expected amongst us to be reared, like the tower of Babel, to the heavens, and. above all the deluges to which the moral as well as physical world is subject. We may thus build, until stopped-in our aspiring plans by, if not confusion of tongues, a conflict of interests. To conclude in seriousness, the most splendid destiny ever offered to any portion of mankind lies before the An- glo-Saxon population of North A'merica, unless it is marred by national folly, by a rejection of those principles on which alone public prosperity ever has and ever must rest. Union and a judicious cultivation of our immense resources can place us amongst the most happy and morally influential national associations which ever rose on earth. TACITUS. A VISIT TO SLEEPY HOLLOW. FROM THE N. Y. EXPRESS, MAY 15. PEDESTRIAN ExcuRSIONs.-Exercise and good air do so much toward prolonging life, exhilarating the spirits, and keeping us in good health, that we ought to' seize upon every occasion to enjoy them. An excursion in an over- flowing steamboat, amid the noise, turmoil, and odor of its populousness and machinery is not enough; and though riding in the country, particularly in parties, on horseback, is excellent, yet there is nothing like long walks-excur- sions on foot. These excursions it is which give young Englishmen so much vigor of body, and such a general flush of health. Our merchants ought to walk, not to ride to Rockaway in a close carriage amid clouds of dust. Hal- lett's Cove is just far enough out of town in summer for a good walk morning and evening. People who have coun- try-houses towards King's Bridge should never ride to the Harlem Railroad. Yonkers is a very fair walk from the Harlem end of the road, with some fair scenery on the route. It is a pity that our country and our neighborhood have not that kind of a genius of the place. beguiling the pe- destrian on his route, that Sir Walter Scott, Wordsworth, and others have imparted to England or Scotland-or that Rousseau, Voltaire, and Byron have given to the Geneva lake-, but all this is coming. The suburbs of New York are looking up. We made, with one of our young and active merchants, one of these pedestrian excursions, the other day, to Sleepy Hollow," provoked thereto by the Legend of the Sleepy Hollow, and a late, most beautiful article, in the Knickerbocker, from Geoffrey Crayon him- self. We followed from Yonkers the line of the Croton aqueduct, a greater than a Roman undertaking; passed by Bleecker's palace of a school that overlooks the Hudson ; the country-houses of New York gentlemen, we know not how many, some of them as barren of ornamental trees as if on the Roman Campagna; and we even peeped down the way that led to the mansion of the renowned Geoffrey Gent., but darkness was over his dwelling, and the farm- ers were going to rest, as we reached that part of the route, and were pushing onward to "the 1kmbitious Hotel," with cupola and verandahs," Geoffrey now rather mourn- fully speaks of, as cresting the summit of a hill, instead of "' the old little tavern below the hills, where the (Dutch) tarmers used to loiter on market days, and indulge in cider and gingerbread." We tarried at" Tarrytown," at this ambitious hotel," the worthy host, Mr. Curtis, making it worthy of its ambition and its cupola too. Sleepy Hollow" we visited next morning. There is a good deal of poetry about this Sleepy Hollow ; but the romance is a capital one nevertheless. The old Church though, shame on the men who put on the semi-Grecian portico-the ghost of Frederick Filipson eternally haunts these desecrators of antiquity-the old Church and the grave-yard, though, are themes for story. True, the old utch sun-bonnet is all gone, and the French milliner is transforming all the Sleepy Hollow maidens into Broadway belles; but there is the grave-yard, and there the people diedfor it, in Dutch, and were buried in it, in Dutch, and the moss-covered grave-stones record them as dead, in Dutch. When all Dutch is forgotten, and glorious old Holland sinks with her dikes, whence she came, into the sea, how some American Champollion will puzzle his brain over this untranslatable tongue of but one people, who learn all other languages because no other people will learn their own! Irving, however, we trust, has immortalized Sleepy Hollow. If the magic power of his pen can invest his home on the Hudson with the witchery Scott has thrown around Melrose or the Highlands, or Wordsworth over his Lakes and Pikes, the whole world, not the En- glish-speaking tongue of these twenty-six embryo empires of ours, but they of that imperial nation whose arts and arms are already beyond the Indus-pilgrims from Aus- tralasia, and New South Wales even, will throng there for a relic, with the fulness of gratitude for such inspiration upon their lips. Adieu to Sleepy Hollow. We don't think much of Po- cantico. What would old Diedrich have said if he could have seen the Irishmen, the gunpowder, the crowbar, the pick-axe, the wheel-barrow, the incumbent masses of earth and granite vexing and shooting with water-works athwart the quiet and lassitude of Sleepy Hollow! Titan, now standing on its hills, and tossing its rocks, and soon as playthings! Unearth the Van Tassels, Geoffrey, and let us hear what they say. Forgive a pedestrian, if, as he walks leg-weary in the suburbs of his magnificent city, he wants a story ro beguile the way-side. Line the margin of the Hudson with legends. People its hills, as those over the Rhine, with a fancy. There is almost a Swiss pass from King's Bridge to Manhattanville. Spuyten Devil creek has not its rush of waters for nothing. Here, and beyond here, is the classic soil of a revolution, not of go- veinment alone, but of all the elements of a government: of society, of the science of navigation, of thought, enter- prise, and action; a retroactive revolution, which, as it here rolls onward the new tide, is to roll back, too, by the very agency its own Fulton discovered, what must inevitably revolutionize the world.

By law, it is in the power of any member of the Govern- ment to require, through the Minister of Police, the imme- diate insertion at the head of any journal of a full or par- tial contradiction of erroneous statements relating to the authorities, or the administration of affairs. The Opposi- tion papers are often thus compelled to bear on their fronts the lie direct-the official allegation that they have uttered what is absolutely false-absolument faux-tout a fait controuve. The Courier Frangais of the 17th carries in this way, without an editorial remark, two official falsifica- tions; and the effect is even ludicrous. Occasionally, the National, when so bedecked, (as it was on the 19th inst.) contents itself with observing that every one knows what such denials are worth. The temonstrances which eminent individuals frequent- ly make in the newspapers against personal paragraphs may likewise be found a little pleasant. Some declare that they are not dead; not on distant journeys; have not held particular interviews, &c. Baron Von Hammer, the cele- brated scholar and historian of the Ottoman Empire, has deemed it advisable to send from Vienna a circular note for the Paris press, extinguishing a splendid paragraph about the marriage of his daughter, which told of magnifi- cent nuptial presents from the Sublime Porte, the presence of the Imperial family of Austria, and other invented par- ticulars, which, as he says, would be good material for a tale of the Thousand and one Nights. The same press killed, not long since, Abdel-Kader and Mahemet Ali, and raised various wars and insurrections in the East. Every week, at least, it regales us with a grand conspiracy or revolt in some part of the Russian Empire. One day, it creates the Duc of NEMOURS a generalissimo; the next, the Duke of Orleans; and these, its own appointments, it takes as the theme of the severest strictures on the paternal favoritism of Louis PHILIPPE, and the subserviency of his Ministers. For more than two years, I have looked every morning through most of the Paris and London newspapers; and afterwards noted the statements. and speculations which proved to be utterly or mainly fabulous and groundless; and I think myself warranted in my impression that they amounted to more than one-half of the immense-mass of such matter. The portion of the fictions which was copied into the New York papers, and never rectified, is quite large enough. From my own observation, and the testi- mony of competent judges, I am sure that reliance is not to be placed on one-third of the correspondence from France, Spain, and Germany, published in the London journals. All the theatres and other resorts in which masked balls were held in the Carnival time aro specially permitted to continue those entertainments during the Lent. There is but one exception-the Grand Opera-altogether a Gov- ernment institution. The Liberal editors complain bit- terly of the interdict; aver that several orders and counter- orders on the subject were issued by the Minister of Inte- nor ; and conclude that the final decree was a concession to the instances of the Archbishop of Paris-an elction- eering capucinade-to win the priest party. Ani they call upon the tradesmen who are entitled to vote to ramem- ber the misdeed at the polls You can imagine the con- trast between the design of Lent and the renewal of the hideous and pestilent orgies which I have slightly described to you in some of my recentletters. If the Ministryclosed one field of Satan at the proper entreaty of the Priimate, I fear that it has left open numberless others of the kind, in order to keep the mass of the Parisians in humor anJ sport politically innocent. When a comparison is instituted, with regard to the popular disorders which occur on the two sides of the At- lantic, we should advert not merely to the number of actual riots in the continental countries in Europe, but to the evil compliances and sacrifices which the rulers deem it neces- sary to make for the purpose of prevention. In Paris, cor- rupting amusements must be allowed ; expensive works un- dertaken for the operatives ; pageants and shows provided that occasion mischievous dissipation and loss of lalor; at times, the constitution or the laws suspended or violated, as in the case of the captured Duchess of BERRI and Louis NAPOLEON, and the recent prohibition of the export ofgrain. You have seen that, of late, the Belgian Government was obliged, with the same view, to bolster up insolvent banks and other joint-stock companies, and mammoth manufac- turers and speculators. On the same account, if Lafitte's Bank had been really-as it was for several days supposed to be--in danger, the Bank of France, or the Treasury, must have propped it, with whatever reluctance. If we must have a monarchy, says a republican print, let us have one tempered by insurrections. Most of the monarchies seem to me to be swayed by the fear of them. The chief daily law journal has just furnished some ap- palling authentic statistics of the effects of the Carnival in Paris, including that which ended, nominally, on the 13th instant. It appears that the pledges at the Mont de Piete (Central Pawn-Broking institution) were, from Ash-Wed- nesday onwards, nearly double in number and value; the sums drawn from the Saving Funds neatly the same; so with the admissions into the hospitals, and the dead bodies exposed at the Morgue. All this, compared with any oth- er equal period of the year-and for some years past, the like evidence of the penalties paid by the people for the orgies of.the Jours Gras, was protracted for nearly a month succeeding the Carnival. The tithe levied this year for the benefit of the hospitals, on the proceeds of the recent public balls of Paris, is estimated at 110,000 francs. Such statistics, however, barely shadow forth, or simply leave to be imagined, the extent and variety of the libertinism and depravation, improvidence and waste of every kind, disease and death in the most horrid forms, which those festivals involve for the middle and lower classes. In the last discourse or report of the Secretary General of the French Society of Universal Statistics, I noticed the remarks, that the population of a country and the number of its cities were the certain indications of the degree of its civilization ; that, in the advanced countries, (les pays per- fectionnes,) men were agglomerated in large capitals or populous cities; that, whether we consult ancient or mod- ern history, we find, during forty centuries, an immense metropolis wherever civilization has shone with most bril- liancy. Very different definitions may be given, or views taken, of national civilization and refinement. For myself, who have paid special attention to Paris statistics of every description, and studied this mighty metropolis under all its aspects, and in all its pretensions, I have been brought to coincide with the maxim of Mr. JEFFERSON, that great ci-. ties are great sores on the body politic," and, even more, on the body social and moral, the primary frame of true civili- zation. My notion may appear to some quite heterodox or wild, but it is, that if Paris were divided into at least three or four portions, and each planted far out, France in gene- ral would be considerably mere moral, rational, free; much better governed, educated, and disciplined ; and thus more highly civilized, or perfectionn6, than she is now, or will be for many revolutions of our mother earth round that luminary to which Paris is often proudly likened, with re- ference even to the whole world. It is demonstrable by the history of France, that, politically speaking, much more evil than good has resulted to her from the capital, since the foundation of the monarchy. Paris claims and exercises the government and administration of all France; controls supremely her resources, energies, opinions, and tastes; absorbs most of her talent and wealth ; deposes or makes her kings, dynasties, and cabinets; involves her at will in disastrous revolutions and wars ; corrupts her morals and sentiments, not -merely as the grand magnetic focus of vice and- dissipation, but by the unbounded diffusion and influ- ence of writings immoral, irreligious, and anarchical, and the perversion of the fine arts in every possible device and excess of caricature and obscenity. The case must be seen and studied in detail to conceive the degree and universal- ity in which self-government, independent judgment and action, discretionary administration of local and personal affairs, are wanting, nearly unthought of or unimagined, throughout the province s. The centralization so much cherished and vaunted, is in fact the subjection of thirty-two millions of Frenchmen to one million, or, rather, to the factions in the capital that in- cessantly struggle for exclusive sway. And those thirty- two millions, though pre-eminently favored in every re- spect by Nature, are left, relatively to nearly all the rest of Europe, without elementary education and internal im- ,im.iroment h while t hv nrnvfida an enormousn revenue for the signals, the watch-words issue hence, as, on the eve or (luring a general action, they would from the military headquarters to the hostile forces in a field of battle. The Coalition by which the political system is now vital- ly threatened, was concerted by the Paris chiefs and mana- gers, and the Deputies from the Provinces fell in, imme- diately as they arrived-a week, more or less, before the session-like so many sheep following a bell-wether. You can understand, by the reciprocal arguments and imputa-. tions of the Coalition and Court parties, that the represen- tatives, candidates, and electoral bodies, universally, are held to be at the command and drill of one or the other. Sometimes a voice" has been raised in the Chamber against the monopoly and prepotency of the capital, but has scarcely ever obtained decent heed, much less practi- cal success. Take a small sample in an extract which I made two years ago from a speech of Mr. FOULD, a very respectable Deputy, who could win no attention : Gentlemen, you occupy yourselves with Paris alone. We ought, however, to think of the Departments. All their money is brought to Paris. I see great danger in that. The Depart- ments are drained by the receivers-general of the taxes, and by the Saving Funds system. All capital flows to Paris, to the signal detriment of the Departments. If you allow large sums to be deposited in your Saving Funds chests in the Provinces, you will suffer by it, some years hence, serious inconvenience. At.present you have collected a hundred millions of francs, and, tojudge from the regular increase of the Saving Funds, you will possess in this way ere long (at Paris) two or three hundred millions, a moiety of which will be torn from the Provinces." This prediction has been more than realized. The day before yesterday appeared the election address of ODILLON BARROT, who has been regarded as the special champion of decentralization and the sovereignty of the nation. Yet, to this topic, he does not hazard a single allusion at this critical juncture. The Paris Committee of the Legitimists, in their address, treat, indeed, of the propriety of the self administration of townships, and the extension of the right of municipal and political suffrage by a graduated scale of election ; but they profess to aim (and partly by those means) at the enlargement and corroboration of the royal power-at a stronger political centralization, while they decentralize for mere administrative and municipal objects. Their drift, at the bottom, in whatever scheme of the kind, a3 every body knows, is to obtain more scope for the in- fluence which their landed possessions and personal rank give them in the western and southern Departments. During my passage to Havre, in the good ship Erie, I conceived the project-which 1 have steadily pursued since my arrival in Paris-of collecting, for a comprehensive, though not ponderous book, a body of statistics, physical, moral, and political, European and American, with a view to comparisons and deductions in favor of American his- tory, institutions, intellect, and character. Materials have accumulated on my hands from French publications, the chief journals of all the capitals of Europe, which are re- gularly received here, and the reports and libraries of the Statistical Societies. If I should be able, hereafter, to col- late, digest, and apply them, agreeably to my design, you will, I think, be, if not surprised, at least attracted and ex- cited by the results, especially on the topic of immense capitals and manufacturing communities. Jonah was sent by the Lord to admonish Nineveh, and Jeremiah inspired to lamet over the city of Jerusalem. The modern Baby- Ions the Great would be the first objects of similar missions, precisely for what they call their superior civilization. ' I related to you that I had seen in the Rue de Rivoli a full-length portrait of the celebrated American Comedian and Representative of New England rustic characters," Mr. HILL. Your eye may have been caught by his well- displayed advertisement in several numbers of Galignani's Messenger. Hle announced, for the evening of the 16th, the Yankee Fireside, or Homespun Tales ;" tickets, each, seven francs for the' first boxes, and five for all others. The theatre which he chose does not admit an audience of more than a few hundred persons. You know that a spe- cial permit is necessary here for every such representation ; and the celebrated Representative" looked a little aghast when he first read in his license, as conditions, that the Public must be gratuitously admitted to his Fireside; and that he should abstain from sticking up bills. This smacked of a Yankee trick. However, he soon learned that tickets could be sold, and even advertised, notwithstanding the official form. But Mr. HILL was far from filling the house ; his audience consisted chiefly of American ladies and gen- tlemen ; a few English only were attracted. His orches- tra was composed of eight or ten artists, so called: who played Yankee Doodle, and writhed under their own mu- sic. His tales in verse and prose were protracted through two mortal hours. According to the testimony borne to me by some of the Americans who were present, the whole was a failure. The many friends," at whose "earnest re- quest" Mr. HILL played, were like those of the hare in the fable. I hope that he covered his expenses; but I am not absolutely sorry that the Yankees cannot 'be thus carica- tured here, with even the little success which Mr. COOPER's name and the title l'Amerique procure for his homespun tale, Eve Effingham. We are abundantly and malignantly enough caricatured by Europeans. You will not suspect me of any affectation of patriotic sensibility if I notice briefly this day-the anniversary of WASHINGTON'S birth. There is nothing Pharisaical in the expression of a regret that it is not to be publicly cele- brated by the Americans in Paris, or distinguished in some way by our national functionaries. The omission was sig- nalized last year and the year before, in two of the Paris Liberal journals, as indicative of lukewarmness, at least, towards the memory of the Chief Founder of our Repub- lic. I cannot explain it, but I reject that interpretation, because national and republican feeling generally becomes keener abroad, where we are less affected by those party feuds and discontents which at home, in too many instances, lessen its vivacity, alertness, and confidence. Public ho- mage, rendered officially or otherwise, with decorum and considerateness,to the name of WASHINGTON, could not be invidious in any capital of Europe-that name being every where honored without reserve. I have copied a beautiful recent tribute to it from the Paris Revue des Deux Mondes ; and you have read the admirable sketch in the last number of the Edinburgh Review. As Speeches, which were not. but should have been" spoken, are occasionally publish- ed, I think that I may venture to offer you, unpretendingly, a few toasts for an American dinner, which might have been arranged here for this anniversary ; Washington-The consummate and incomparable patriot- so acknowledged .by the ruost enlightened of this hemisphere. Lafayette-A name inseparable from that of Washington in the hearts and homage of Americans, and in the annals and glories of their Revolution. What champion of human rights ever rendered service, and left a memory so precious to a for- eign race What association of illustrious names so close and just, from community of principles and ends, of private and public virtue, of enterprise and danger, of exalted and tender friendships?. The Republic of the United Stales-Assured of superla- tive prosperity as long as she shall duly venerate the character and observe the precepts of her Hero. France-Never backward in the tribute of honor to his mer- its, and always an object of his heartfelt gratitude and concern. Her weal will be ample, splendid, and durable, indeed, if it should equal American wishes and sympathies. Great Britain-The land of Washington's forefathers. We are proud of our common descent, and feel the value of our manifold connexion. Let the rivalry be in the liberalities of spirit and the arts of peace. When the option is between mu- tual good and evil incalculable, can self-love or simple reason hesitate ? The President of the United States-The only political chief with a perfect model, and thus doubly responsible to his constituents and mankind. King Louis Philippe-A choice ratified by a mighty Peo- ple, and acknowledging the supremacy of the national will: a thorough comprehension of each other, the certain guarantee of both. Americans at Home and Abroad-Patriotic in proportion to the credit which they assert or procure for their country. The Writings of Washington and Lafayette, recently published-Renewing and confirming the admiration which their lives had excited-proving and perpetuating the greatness of their motives and faculties.

THE TWO COLONIES.: BY TYRONE POWER. Two colonies yet exist within Pennsylvania-samples of both, indeed, may be found within a few miles of Philadel- phia-and these constitute,with me, a never failing source of interest and amusement. They are composed of Dutch and Irish, often located on adjoining townships, but keeping their borders as clearly defined as though the wall of China were drawn between them. No two bodies exist in Nature more repellant ; neither time, nor the necessities of traffic, which daily arise amongst a growing population, can induce a repeal of their tacit non-intercourse system, or even render them tolerant of each other. 1 have understood that Pat has, on occasions of high festivity, been known to extend his courtesy so far as to pay his German neighbors a call to inquire kindly whether any gentleman in the place might be inclined for a fight," but this evidence of good nature appears to have been neither understood nor reciprocated, and, proof against the blandishment, Myn- heer was not to be hammered into contact with dem wild Irisher." It is a curious matter to observe the purity with which both people have conserved the dialect of their respective countries, and the integrity of their manners, costume, pre- judices, nay, their very air-all of which they yet present fresh and characteristic, as imported by their ancestors, al- though some of them are the third in descent from the first colonists. Differing in all other paticula-rs, on this point of character theii similarity is striking. Amongst the Germans, I have had families pointed out to me, whose fathers beheld the commencement of the war of Independence in Pennsylvania, yet who are at this day as ignorant of its language, extent, policy, or population, as was the worthy pastor of whom it is related, that, hav- ing been requested to communicate to his flock the want of supplies which existed in the American camp, he assured the authorities that he had done so, as well as described to them the exact state of affairs. I said to dem," he repeated in English, Get op min broders and mine zisters, und put em paerd by die vagen, mit brood and corn ; mit schaap's flesh and flesh of die groote bigs, und oss flesh; alias be brepare to go op de vay, mit oder goed mens, to sooply General Vashington, who fight- ing die Englishe Konig vor our peoples, und der life, und der liberdies, opon dem banks of the Schuylkill, dies side of die Vestern Indies." In his piggery of a residence and his palace of a barn, in his wagon, his oven, his pipe, his person and physiognomy, the third in descent from the worthies exhorted above, re- mains unchanged. The cases upon which, as a juryman, he decides, he hears through the medium of an official in- terpreter ; he has his own journal which serves out his own portion of politics to him in Low Dutch, and in the same language is printed such portions of the acts of the State Legislature as may in any way relate to the section he in- habits; the only portion of the community, indeed, which he knows, or cares to know any thing about. My honest countrymen of the same class, I can answer for being as slightly sophisticated astheir colder neighbors; it is true their tattered robes have been superseded by suffi- cient clothing, and a bit of good broadcloth for Sunday or Saint's day, and their protracted lenten fare exchanged for abundance of good meat, and bread, and tay-galore for the priest and the mistress; but when politics or any stir- ring cause is offered to them, their feelings are found to be as excitable, and their temperament as fiery, as though still standing on the banks of the Suir or the Shannon. On all occasions of rustic holiday, they may yet be read- ily recognized by their slinging gait, the bit of a stick borne in the hollow of their hand, the inimitable shape and set of the hat, the love of top-coats in the men, and the abiding taste for red ribands and silk gowns amongst the women. The inherent difference between the two people is never more strikingly perceived than when you have occasion to make any inquiry whilst passing through their villages. Pull up your horse by a group of little Dutchmen,in order to learn your way or ask any information, and the chance is, they either run away upon instinct," or are screamed at to come within doors by their prudent mothers: upon which cry they scatter, like scared rabbits f,r the warren, leaving you to Try Turner," or any other shop within hail. For myself, after a slight experience, I succeeded with my friends to admiration: the few sentences of indifferent Dutch which I yet conserved from my education amongst the Vee boors at the Cape, served as a passport to their civility. Without this accomplishment, all strangers are suspected of being Irishers; and, as such, partake of the dislike and dread in which their more mercurial neighbors are held by this sober-sided and close-handed generation. On the other hand, enter an Irish village, and, by any chance, see theyoung villains precipitated out ofthe common school: call to one of these, and a dozen will be under your horse's feet in a moment, prompt in their replies, even if ignorant of that you seek to learn ; and ready and willing to show you any place or road they know any thing, or nothing, about. I have frequently, on these occasions, when asked to walk into their cabin by the old people, on hearing their accent, and seeing myself thus surrounded, almost doubted my being in the valley of Pennsylvania. So little indeed does the accent of the Irish-American, who lives exclusively amongst his own people in the coun- try parts, differ from that of the settler of a year, that, on oc- casions of closely contested elections, this leads to imposi- tion on the one hand and vexation on the other; and it is by no means uncommon for a man whose father was born in the States, to be questioned as to his right of citizenship, and requested to bring proofs of a three years' residence.

TO THE EDITORS. GENTLEMEN : Will you oblige a constant sub. scriber by republishing in your paper the Report made in secret session of the Senate on the 21st March, 1832, by Mr. TAZEWELL, then chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations, touch- ing the subject of the Maine boundary. The other members of that committee were Messrs. FORSYTH, (the present Secretary of State,) KING, of Alabama, WHITE, of Tennessee, and BELL, of New Hampshire, and all these gentlemen were understood as concurring in that report at the time, except Mr. BELL, if my memory be cor- rect. Mr, FORSYTH not only concurred in this report, which declares expressly that the King of the Netherlands has by his award decided the whole subject," and concludes with a proposition to stand by that award, but he so- lemnly recorded his vote in favor of that propo- sition, by voting against a motion to strike it out.* There appear to have been but eight Sen- ators at that day who voted to give up the terri- tory which the King of the Netherlands recom- mended us to cede away to Great Britain, and Mr. FORSYTH was one of the eight. Can you in- form me whether it appears, from any docu- mentary or other evidence, that Mr. FORSYTH has ever changed the opinion he then gave in favor of giving up our claim to that disputed territory ?

The Editors, without being able to give the information required, comply with their respect- ed Correspondent's request, by publishing the following Report: IN SENATE, MARCH 21, 1832. Mr. TAZEWELL, from the Committee on Foreign Rela- tions, to whom were referred the several messages of the President of the United States of the 7th and 21st of De- cember, 1831, of the 27th of January and 8th of February, 1832, together with the several documents which accom- panied the same ; and to whom were also referred the mo- tion and resolution submitted to the Senate by one of the Senators from the State of Maine, on the 24th day of Ja- nuary last past, submitted the following report: That this committee have bestowed upon the several subjects to them referred, all the attention which their great importance demanded. At the commencement of their examination of these interesting subjects, every mem- ber of this committee was equally aware that their feel- ings, as citizens ot the United States, might very probably mislead any judgment they might be disposed to form in regard to the correctness of the determination of his Ma- jesty the King of the Netherlands, which proposes to es- tablish the boundary between the possessions of the United States and those of his Majesty the King of Great Britain. Every argument which suggested itself to the-mind of any member of this committee, to prove the truth and justice of the several positions for which the United States have contended in the course of the discussion of this subject, had already been presented by their different agents, and had proved unsatisfactory both to Great Britain and to the arbitrator mutually chosen by the two Powers to settle and determine the subject of difference between them. This circumstance, of itself, was sufficient to warn the committee against confiding too implicitly in their own opinions, with regard to a matter.as to which they were conscious of feeling so deep an interest, and to induce them to view the subject as it now exists, rather than to consider it as presenting a question still open for discussion. This committee entertain no doubt of the perfect right of the United States to refuse to abide by the award of his Majesty the King of the Netherlands, if the constitut- ed authorities of the United States shall think that this award is not made within the terms or meaning of the sub- mission; anJ they are aware that many reasons exist which, to the minds of our own citizens at least, may ap- pear strong, to induce the opinion that such is the case. But will such arguments satisfy others ? and, if not, what will be the effect of rejecting this award ? These are the only questions which this committee think it necessary now to examine. The history of this country will show that the question, what is the true Northeastern boundary of the present United States, has been often discussed between the diffe- rent parties interested in its decision. While France held the territory contiguous to the former colonies of Great Britain on their Northern and Eastern frontier, this ques- tion then disturbed the relations of these two Powers, and it was only settled by the treaty which transferred all the dominions of the former, in this quarter, to the latter. Not. long after that event, the same question was revived be- tween Great Britain and her then colony of Massachusetts. As the King of Great Britain was at that time the sove- reign of all the Provinces limited by this boundary, no mat- ter where it was established, or how it was run; and as no private rights had then been acquired near to the line which was ultimately settled by him as the boundary of these Provinces, it was then of little moment to any where this line was fixed. Hence, probably, in establishing the Northeastern boundary of Massachusetts at that time, but little regard was paid to accuracy of description or preci- sion of terms, and a line was fixed upon, of which the terminus a quo" was not m >re certainly described than the terminus ad quem." Before it became necessary to ascertain this line with any degree of accuracy, our Re- volution commenced, and the uncertain boundary esta- blished by the previous act of the Government of Great Britain was recognized by the treaty of 1783 as the North- eastern boundary of the United States. Thus the old question, what this boundary line was, and where it ran, was revised. The settlement of this question constituted the subject of the fifth article of the treaty between the United Sta'tes and Great Britain in 1794 ; and it was supposed by both the parties to be deter- mined with sufficient accuracy by the final decision of the commissioners appointed in pursuance of that article. It - is worthy of remark here, that the decision of these com- missioners differed not less widely from the positions con- tended for by each of the two disagreeing parties at that time, than does the present determination of his Majesty the King of the Netherlands, from the positions assumed by each of the same parties upon this occasion. Yet both the United States and Great Britain concurred in adopting the decision of these commissioners, although it varied es- sentially from the claim of boundary set up by each of the two Powers. This decision settled definitively the uncertain "termi- nus a quo" the Northeastern boundary of the United States was to run; and as no difference then existed be- tween the two Powers as to the course or direction of this line of boundary, the terminus ad quem" was also sup- posed to be fixed. Doubts being afterwards suggested on the part of Great Britain as to this point, it was the pur- pose of the fifth article of the treaty of Ghent, in 1814, to remove these doubts, by adopting a mode for settling them, similar to that which had been found satisfactory to the parties in the previous case. The commissioners ap- pointed by the high contracting parties, in pursuance of this fifth article of the treaty of Ghent, could neither agree in their opinions, or effect any other adjustment of the matter to them referred; therefore, the event contem- plated by that article having thus occurred, it became ne- cessary, under the provisions of this treaty, that the two Powers should refer the subject to some friendly Sovereign or State, to be named by them for that purpose, who should determine the same. His Majesty the King of the Neth- erlands was the friendly Sovereign named by the two high contracting parties for this purpose. He having accepted the functions of arbitrator so conferred upon him, by his Should this prove true, if the United States, on theil part, refuse to abide by this award, the necessary conse- quence must be, that the pretensions heretofore set up by Great Britain, and which are in part rejected by the award, will be revived and insistedl upon by her in their full ex- tent. In what mode, then, can the controversy so revived be settled 1 A new negotiation cannot be supposed likely to produce more beneficial results than those which have already taken place. In the discussions which were had at Ghent, in those carried on between the commissioners ap- pointed to determine the question of boundary, and in those addressed to his Majesty the King of the Nether- lands, the argument on either side seems to have been ex- hausted. No profitable result, then, can be expected from reviving a discussion in which nothing new can be pre- sented on either side, and in which the rights and interests of the parties, whatever these may be, remain as heretofore. Besides, previously to entering upon such a negotiation, something must be agreed upon in regard to the disputed territory. Recent events very plainly show that, without some agreement upon this point, border conflicts will inev- itably take place between the citizens and subjects of the two Powers who claim this territory; which conflicts must soon produce a general war between these Powers. What, then, is to be done with this subject of controversy, pend- ing the negotiation instituted to adjust the title to it ? A stipulation that it shall remain, as now, unoccupied by either party, until the question of right is settled, seems to favor the views and policy of Great Britain so decidedly, that such a stipulation would amount in effect to an aban- donment of claim on our part to the whole subject. No termination favorable to the United States ought to be ex- pected from any negotiation which holds out such an in- ducqment to the other party for procrastination and delay. The same result is equally probable, if each party should be permitted to occupy such portion of the disputed terri- tory as is allotted to them respectively under the award, which would be then declared not to be obligatory upon either. In the latter case, too, the matter would be made of still more difficult adjustment, by reason of the rights and interests which the citizens and subjects of each of the two parties would acquire in the territory yielded to the occupation of the other; and a proposition that one should occupy the portion of the territory assigned to it, while the negotiation was pending in regard to the right of the other to the remaining portion of the same territory, which should not be occupied by that other until the question of right was finally determined, would be a proposition sc wanting in reciprocity, that it ought not to be made by any Power which pays proper regard to its own character. Under such circumstances, where negotiation promises to yield nothing of good, but one resort remains. To this last resort the committee do not understand that even the State of Maine itself is willing now to come. But, if the case was different, it would present a question worthy of the most grave consideration, whether the United States should ever willingly involve themselves in war with any , Power whatever, to maintain an asserted right to terri- tory long disputed, which had been determined not to be theirs by an arbitrator chosen by themselves. Although it may perhaps be truly said in this case that the United States are not bound by this award, as such, yet it will be considered by all the civilized world as the impartial opi- nion of a disinterested judge, upon a question of much perplexity and difficulty. Such an opinion would have the effect of placing us (seemingly, at least,) in the wrong, * and therefore would greatly impair the moral force the United States have always brought into every contest in which they have hitherto been involved. These considerations have induced this committee to think that the policy of the United States will be best con- sulted by announcing to Great Britain their willingness to assent to this award. But as the boundary which it esta- blishes will probably be found not less inconvenient to Great Britain than to the United States, and as, under the award, the navigation of the river St. John and its tribu- tary streams is not made free and common to both parties, this committee are of opinion that it will be advisable for the President, in communicating to Great Britain his de- termination to abide by the award, to signify to that Power his desire to open a new negotiation, for the purpose of set- tling a more convenient boundary between the territories of the two empires, than that which is so established ; and, also, for securing to each party the free navigation of the liver St. John and its tributary streams, from its mouth to their respective sources. Should Great Britain accede to this overture, if, in the course of the negotiation, it is found practicable so to do, the President will of course avail him- self of any and every occasion to obtain a boundary more acceptable to the State of Maine than that which is esta- blished by the determination of his Majesty the King of the Netherlands. In regard to the objections urged to this award in the resolutions which have also been referred to this commit- tee, they deem it only necessary to say that, as the provi- sions of the fifth article of the treaty of Ghent admit the fact that the true boundary of the United States, thereby referred to, was not then settled, and establish a mode whereby this boundary might thereafter be ascertained and determined, it cannot be admitted that the subsequent settlement of this matter by the mode then agreed upon can properly be considered as a cession or transfer to a foreign nation of any portion of the territory or inhabitants of any one of the United States. If the commissioners appointed to determine this matter had concurred in opinion, as they did in 1795, although the determination might have been, as it then was, in opposi- tion to the pretensions set up by each of the disagreeing parties, none can believe that their award would not have been held as conclusive as was that referred to, although both these awards would have been subject to precisely the same objections which are now urged. And, so far as the question of authority is concerned, it would be impossible to show that the umpire had less authority over the subject than the disagreeing commissioners possessed. In no case can the adjustment of any controversy be properly regarded as an abandonment of right in the subject, the title to which is contested. In all such cases, the decision does nothing more than to determine in which of the two disagreeing parties the right originally was; and neither can properly be said to yield to the other that which the decision affirms to have always belonged to that other. So that the ques- tion recurs-Will the United States adopt this award as determining what was their original and true boundary ? Once admit the award to be binding on our faith, and the question of right ceases; and, even if the award be set aside, the determination not to abide by it must never be rested upon the ground that it deprives us of rights which we believe to be ours, but upon the ground that it decides matter which was never submitted to arbitrament. If the authority to decide the question is admitted, the correct- ness of the decision can never be questioned, except by im- pugning the-integrity of the judge, a charge which none can prefer or sustain in this case. The committee therefore recommend to the Senate to adopt the following resolution: Resolved, That the Senate advise the President to ex- press to his Majesty the King of the Netherlands the assent of the United States to the determination made by him, and consent to the execution of the same.

MONDAY, MAY 20, 1839. It has been heretofore stated in the news- papers that R. H. MENEFEE, the talented Re- .presentative in Congress from Kentucky, had declined being re-elected to the station which he has occupied with so much credit to him- self and his State. We were unwilling to be- lieve the statement, and hoped, if it was true, he would yet reconsider his determination. We are obliged now to give credit to it; for we havetist learnt, upon sufficient authority, that he has removed his residence from Mount Ster- ling to Lexington, (in another district,) where no doubt he is about to pursue his profession, under a sense of what is due to the interest of his family. We very much regret to learn that Mr. RENCHER, for several years past an independent and able Representative in Congress from the State of NORTH CAROLINA, has positively de- clined being a candidate for re-election. To this determination he is no doubt urged, in part at least, by the necessity of devoting- his attention undividedly to his private affairs. We understand that General JAMES HAMIL- TON, of South Carolina, recently appointed a commissioner on the part of the Republic of Texas to negotiate a loan of five millions of dol- lars for that Government, arrived in this city on Friday last, to make some arrangements prepara- tory to his embarking for Europe in the Great Western, on the 13th June. Our opinion of the participation of our citi- zens, with a mere handful of the actual residents of Texas, in the invasion and forcible seizure of that territory, whilst yet a component part of the Republic of MEXICO, has been too frequent- ly expressed to need to be here repeated. Whilst, however, we have seen no reason in subsequent events to change that opinion, yet, now that Texas has been recognized by our Go- vernment, and is about, with vast natural're- sources, to take her rank among the nations of' the earth, we are not disposed to withhold from her people the justice they may be entitled to, in their onward progress; more especially if they add another link to the golden chain of human civilization. We do not see why General HAMILTON should not succeed in his mission. Independently of Texas having a public domain, comprehending, we think, an area of one hundred and fifty mil- lions of the most fertile land on the face of the earth, with a climate propitious to the cultiva- tion of the most valuable of its staples, she will have, it is likewise said, during the current year, a revenue from her customs of a million of dol- lars, and fees on land-entries to the extent of half a million more. But, we confess, great as these material sources of credit may be, we place, more reliance, as a guaranty for her obligations, on the stability her Government and institutions are seemingly as- suming, and on the apparent In the first place, we know that s.he has sent a Minister to MEXICO to treat for peace-and, it is said, with every probability of success-not alone to stop the lust for conquest among her people, but to make indemnity to that country, that she may have a better claim to the region she has acquired than the mere tenure 4of the sword. In the next place, it is understood that she has resisted all overtures and temptations to unite with either party in the civil war now rag- ing in MEXIco, whilst she seems equally to have kept aloof in the recent war between FRANCE and that country from all alliances that might have made her tributary to a first-rate European Power, even at the price of her recognition and countenance. These are all good omens, and, as now no- thing apparently can prevent Texas from becom- ing a prosperous and independent nation, we trust she will add another enduring testimonial to the inherent faculty of the descendants from Eiropean stock to build up, even in the solitary recess of the wilderness, those civil and political structures which are calculated to give an abiding place to the empire of religion, literature, and laws. We nailed to the counter, on Saturday last, a miserable calumny, devised by whom we know not, but published as true by a writer for the Richmond Enquirer said to be in the employ of the Government. A certain charge made by that writer, we pronounced false and unfounded, so far as it was intended to apply to the publishers of this paper. The Official Editor in this city has taken up and affirm- ed the charge upon some authority which he pretends to have for doing so. We repeat, therefore, that the whole charge is, in every particular and in any construction of it, wherever originated, or by whorrsoever repeated, false, un- founded, and calumnious; sufficiently so to entitle the fabricator or wilful utterer ot t to the first vacant place in the Penitentiary, if he have interest enough in Court to be promoted to it, The official calumniator 'intimates that the allegations of the writer in the Richmond Enquirer have been hereto- fore made in the Globa, and have not been answered.

News has just reached here from Tampa Bay that the chief Nea-thlocko-Emathla, who voluntarily-surrendered, with others, about two months ago, and was retained by Gen. TAYLOR as an influential caterer for emigrating par- ties, had absented himself for several days previous to the 22d of last month, and during that night he returned with a large party of hostile Seminoles and forced off a considera- ble number of the people who had prepared for emigration. Among the latter was a Spaniard, whom the chief released, and sent back to Lieut. Col. CUMMINGS, with an assurance that neither he nor his people would attend the Council proposed by Gen. MACOMB, as the white man had two faces; that while a paper proposing a treaty was circulating among them, the soldiers were hunting them down; that the In- dians will make no treaty, and are prepared to fight as long as they can obtain ammunition, or can use the knife. Gen. TAYLOR'S confidence in Nea-thlocko-Emathla was almost unbounded; relying very much upon his influence in obtaining the general consent of the nation to meet Gen. MACOMB in Council. The chief was under an engagement to meet Gen. TAYLOR at Fort White, near the Suwannee, on the same day he returned to his nation. For two or three days after, the Indians frequently ap- proached within a few yards of the guard-house at Fort rooke, (Tampa Bay,) and are doubtless still anxiously watching every movement. 1 am satisfied that there has been no period during the war that our operations have not been anticipated by the Seminolesi and our designs frustrated by their unceasing vigilance. They watched DADE and his party, and closely beset him, until their num- bers sufficiently increased to warrant a successful attack and massacre; while many miles distant, on the same day, Gen. THOMPSON fell a victim to his misplaced confidence in that villanous drunkard and thief. Powell, whom some of the fancy have ignorantly painted and sketched as one of the noblest and most undaunted of his race. General CLINCH'S passage of the Wythlacooche was promptly dis- puted three days after, forty or fifty miles distant from the scenes of the other actions ; and when Gen. GAINES at- tempted to ford the river two months thereafter, the watch- ful sentinels were there to check his progress; and so have they exercised a vigilant surveillance over every operation of every command seat against them. Many hundred more of our soldiers and citizens might have been destroyed ; bat I am convinced, from an accurate observation of affairs in this quarter, that they have avoid- ed (I mean the great body of the nation and chiefs) mur- ders, in many, many instances, under the hope that their forbearance would induce us to relax our determination of removal. The few depredations and murders west of the Suwannee, within the last few months, were most proba- bly committed by some outlaws or vagabonds, from which no nation on earth can claim exemption. It may appear to be an extravagant expression of confidence, but I have not the slightest doubt that if all our troops south of this place were withdrawn, and no hostile demonstration made against them, the Indians would evince a peaceable disposition. But the wholedifficulty was caused by a fraudulent treaty, and the war is against that treaty. We require a fulfil- ment of its stipulations, they deny its validity. As we in- sist upon the justice of the measure, and are contending for principles, policy forbids a withdrawal of our troops ex- cept by treaty. But, I reiterate, if it were done without negotiation, the most peaceful results would flow from it- notwithstanding it would be a tacit admission that we had discovered we were wrong. GAREY'S FERRY, (E. F.) MAY 6, 1839. By an express which left General MACOMB on the 4th inst. we learn that his efforts to obtain a hearing among the Indians, have, so far, been attended with but indifferent success. Within two weeks, four whites have been killed in battle within a few miles of the General's quarters; in- deed, every express brings some intelligence of the Indians moving north into summerr quarters. The system of" mil- itary occupancy" seems to work indifferently bad. You know, I presume, that the country north of the Wythlacoo- che, east of the Suwannee, a id south of the Georgia lime, has been laid off in squares of twenty miles, near the cen- tre of which a military work is to be,erected, and the square committed to the charge of one or two companies, the com- mander of which is responsible that no murders are com. mitted, and that no Indians remain within its bounds. By this system, Gen. TAYLOR calculated upon driving ,the In- dians aouth of the Wythlacooche, and, by following ,up the, system, eventually drive them to the jumping-off place. But it is morally certain that more Indians are rnw within the square than there have been for several months previous. - Another express has just arrived from Fort King, and brings information of a formal application of Gen. TAYLOR to be relieved of the command in Florida. No Indians have as yet come in, and the General despairs of success in ne- gotiating. He will probably remain here a month longer; A proposition of a most singuear character has been made to the President, and referred to the .Secretary of War, and by him submitted to Gen. MACOMB. An individual from the North proposes the employment of Newfoundland Dogs, which he states he will furnish at sir dollars per head; or he will contract to terminate the war within a specified time, upon certain conditions. The General hlas not yet decided upon this novel proposition, though he :has it under consideration. A L'ABRI, OR THE TENT PITCHED: BY N. P. WILLIS. Samuel Colman, Astor House, N.

HOME MANUFACTURE OF LIME.-It has been more than once suggested to us, by gentlemen who are entirely dis- connected with the Washington Lime Factories, but who, nevertheless, take a lively interest in the success of our home manufactures, that a passing notice ought to be ta- ken of the Lime Factories in the western part of this city, which are now in active operation, and under the direction and control of several of our most enterprising and valua- ble citizens. In conformity, then, to those suggestions, and from a full conviction that such a notice will prove ac- ceptable to our citizens generally, and to those who are di- rectly or indirectly engaged in' building operations especial- ly, we submit the following facts and observations, which we have obtained from an authentic and respectable source. Until within five or six years past, the citizens of the District of Columbia were dependent on the North for a supply of lime, since which time three extensive manufac- *tories of that article have been put into operation in the First Ward of this city, which manufactories are, at this time, competent to furnish all the lime required in the Dis- trict of Columbia and the surrounding vicinage; also, to furnish lime for exportation to supply some of the South- ern cities. The quantity used in the District of Columbia may be estimated at 40,000 barrels, which, at the prices heretofore paid for Thomaston lime, averaging $1 75 per barrel, would amount to $70,000. This amount, by using the home-manufactured article, would be retained within the District, whilst, at the same time, 621 cents per barred the difference between the cost of Thomaston lime and the cost of the Potomac lime, amounting to $25,000, would be actually saved to the purchasers. The Potomac lime, made in this city, sells in the South- ern market 33 cents higher than Thomaston lime; thus it would seem that our distant neighbors estimate our lime according to its real value, whilst the citizens of the Dis- trict encourage the importation of an inferior article, which they sell at 33 cents more than the fine Potomac lime is furnished for, fresh from the kilns, and delivered in any part of the city. It has been asserted that Potomac lime would not an- swer for plastering; it is now, however, ascertained beyond a doubt that the wood-burnt lime made in this city is equal to any that has ever been used, either for plastering or other work to which lime is applicable. Some of the rooms in the new Treasury building have been finished with Poto- mac lime, and, on examination, they will not suffer in comparison with any finished with Thomaston or other lime. The manufacturers of lime in this city are well de- serving of the patronage of their fellow-citizens, for, whilst they have furnished profitable employment to hundreds, they have not yet made one dollar for themselves. These facts are recommended to the candid and serious consideration of mechanics, builders, and the citizens of the District generally; and, at a time when so many new buildings are in progress and about to be commenced in every ward of this city, when so much lime must necessa- rily be wanted for building operations, we cannot permit ourselves to doubt that the claims of the home-made arti- cle will be duly appreciated. CENTRE MARKET.-This market on Saturday last was pretty well supplied with vegetables and fruit, with a good supply of meat and other marketable provisions. The fish market was very poorly attended, as there was no rock, and quite a slim display of shad, herring, perch, &c. though sturgeon was abundant. In the vegetable market was a good stock of country produce, and plenty of the common vegetables of the season, such as fresh onions, radishes, asparagus, lettuce, cabbage, &c. a small quantity of new potatoes selling at 37J cents per quart; abundance of green peas, selling at $1 25 cents per bushel; a plentiful supply of strawberries, some of very large and superior kind from the garden of Mr. CAMMACK. We also noticed a few cherries; not sufficiently ripe to be very palatable, offered at 16 cents per qualt. There have been some few variations in the price of pro- visions since we last quoted, which will be noted below: Beef, 12 to 15 cents per lb. Print Butter, 37j per lb.

NEW YORK, MAY IS. A good deal of attention is given to-day to" the departure of the Liverpool--the fact that Mr. WEBSTER being one of the passengers at- tracting much notice. On Thursday evening m party of gentlemen, in a private way, gave Mr. WEBSTER a dinner at the Astor House, having no reference to party purposes, but intending it as a parting dinner to an old friend, who was about to cross the sea. Men of all parties irn this city feel proud of DANIEL WEBSTER,.as a good specimen of an American. Among the passengers in the packet-ship Philadelphia, now due here, and hourly expect- ed, is JOHN VAN BUREN, Esq. "Prince John," as he is familiarly called. The departure of a steam-ship for Europe creates a great deal of activity in the marts where take place the transactions in foreign ex- change. The operations have been large, and the rates closed heavily at 1093- to 1091. This news imparted not a little satisfaction to Wall street, for the tendency had been upward, and there began to be some fears that the rates would so go up as to draw specie; but a decline and heavy sales soon manifested that there would be no call for specie, and the result has been, to- day, a liveliness in the stock market and an ad- vance in prices. The money market -iere is now in quite a satisfactory condition. Anxiety is over. In the case of the Government vs. Gouverneur, the jury yesterday, after being out a very long while, returned a verdict of $26,000 in favor of the United States. On an item of $6,000 the jury stated they could come to, no decision. The case is to be taken up to the Supreme Court. This trial has developed some very re- markable facts respecting the management of the Post Office Department, confirming all and more than all Mr. EWING brought out in his great Post Office Report. Of the justice of the verdict I have no means of forming at opinion, but it seems to be the general opinion that the jury.were left to grope their way through the darkness of the Post Office accounts, and to jump at what they guessed to be a just decision. Our canal is again in lively business. bThe breaches are all repaired. It is estimated that 100,000 barrels of flour are on the way between this city and Rochester. A case of forgery on the part of a broker in Wall street was yesterday brought to light. TY- SON is the name of the broker. He is said to be on the way to Texas. He is respectably con- nected here. United States Bank stock to-day sells. at 118J. COOPER has got a $400 verdict in a libel case against an editor in Cooperstown. RATES OF DOMESTIC EXCHANGE.

FARNHAM. in St. Mary's County Court, sitting as a Court of Equity. James J. Gough, trustee of Robert McK. Hammett, vs. Robert McK. Hammett and George Hammett. HE BILL in this cause states that on the 12th day of March, 1838, Robert McKelvie Hammett, one of the de- fendants, became a petitioner for the benefit of the insolvent laws of Maryland, and that the complainant was appointed his per- manent trustee ; that on the schedule of the property given in by the insolvent were three tracts of land, one called Mill Pond, one called Stiles's Chance, and the other called Bellwood ; that prior to the said Robert McKelvie's said petition, he, being large- ly indebted to divers persons and beyond his means of payment, to wit, on the 22d of February, 1838, did, by deed of bargain and sale, convey to one George Hammett, of the city of New Orleans, in the State of Louisiana, in fee, the said tracts of land, which said tracts of land were so conveyed without full and valu- able consideration, and to protect them from all liability for the debts of the said Robert McKelvie. The bill prays that the said defendants be required to declare on oath, whether any, and, if any, what consideration was given by the said George Hammett to the said Robert McKelvie Hammett for the said tracts of land. The bill further prays that the said deed be cancelled, and that the same be sold subject to the payment of said Robert McKelvie's debts. It is therefore ordered, this 20th day of April, 1839, that George Hammett be and appear in this Court on or before the first Monday of August next, and put in his answer, on oath, to the said bill, and in default thereof that said bill be taken pro ceonfesso against him, provided a copy of this order shall be inserted in some newspaper published in the city of Washington, once a week for three successive months before the first Monday in August next.
