has; but what I believe engages mosAtAof the

We are requested to state,’ for the information
of those concerned, that Pension Rolls are made
and transmitted to the several Pension Agents
only twice a year, viz. on the 3d_of March and 3d
of September ; and payments are made to those

bovcmentioned periods, cannot be paid until the

Last evening there arrived at this place an ex-
‘. press from Nacogdoehcs, giving intelligence of
I
there having set out from St. Antonio, 25 days
-0 ago, two hundred Spaniards, with three pieces
of artillery, to break up the establishment made
at Galvezton, and destroy the works erected by
Gen. Lallemand. Their orders are to proceed
as far as Nacogdochcs, and destroy the settle-
ments made in that quarter, and rout a number
of traders dispersed throughout the province.
It is generally expected that they will come on
‘to the Rio Honda if not opposed. There are a
number of men collected here, consisting of A-
mericans and refugee Spaniards, who are equip-
ping to proceed immediately to oppose them.

New-Orleans is said to have increased in pop-
lation full three-fourths since its annexation to
the United States, and now contains forty thou-
sand inhabitants. It is supposed the yellow fe-
ver would not be known there under a proper
system of police, which, it is probable, will be so
far improved, by the next season, as greatly to
contribute towards its extinction. A
A New-()rl‘eans paper of the 10th ult. states
that the weather had been unusually cool and
steady for the season during the last ten days,
the consequence of which had been the extinct-
ion of every species of mali§nant-fever.- Busi-
ness liad revived with the coming in of the new
crop, and strangers from the upper country and
the Atlantic states daily arrived.
A bundle, containing a large amount of coun-
terfeit notes on the Mississippi state Bank at
Natchez, was lately dug up by a negro at‘ New-
Orleans, and while the negro was holding them
in his hands, a person snatched a large propor-
tion of them and immediately disappeai'ed,doubt-
less with the intention to pass them.
Robert Gibson was executed on the 27th ult.
tress. At the gallows, the prisoner sung and
prayed with the ministers who attended him ; af-
ter which lieaddresscd himself to the’crowd~.
said he was ihnocent of the crime for which he
was about to suffer—that he had been a great
sinner, but had never murdered any one, or
wished to do it-—-that he had made his peace \\ itli
God, and expected to be happy, and be saved by
faith in Christ—that he hoped the day of his
death might long be remembered by many sin-
ners present, as the day on which they should
set out to seek the Lord, which he strongly re-
commended them to do ; that he was not justly
condemned; that there was no positive proof a-
gainst him, and that he ought not to be condemn-
ed on circumstantial evidence, Ste. The various
ministers of the Gospel, in vain attempted to ob-
tain a confession of his guilt; to the very last
minute he protested his innocence. ‘
A vast concourse of people assembled to wit-
ness the, awful scene of a fellow-being, conduct-
ed tothat ‘ bourne from which no traveller re-
turns.’ And about 2 o’clock, he was launched
into eternity ! i
Notwithstanding the protestations he made of
his innocence, (says a Richmond paper) we 'inust
continue to believe Robert Gibson guilty'of the
murder for which he suffered. Circumstantial
evidence could not be stronger than it was a-
gainst him. [From various causes, Gibson had
three trials, and every time was found guilty.] .
James Hamilton, the murde”rer_of Maj. Bird-
wall, was executed at Albany on Friday last, a-
greeably to the sentence of the law.
At the superior court held at \7Vilmington, N.
C. Antonio, an Italian, was found guilty of mur-
dering John Shane, in June last, and sentenced
to be executed the 13th inst.
In Salem, Indiana, on the 25th ult. Joshua La-
key was murdered by his brother Eli Laltey,
while lying in his bed, and probably asleep, about
midnight ; he was twice stricken with the edge
of an axe, across the side of his head.
A short time since, a human skeleton was
found buried in the sand, about ten miles from
Geneva, N. Y. The skull is much fractured.—-
It is supposed the person was murdered about
nine years since ; the authority have sent in pur-
.Asuit of the suspected person.

'well.calct'ilatetl to make the conduct of General

gratitude of his country. What he did and the
steps which he took, seem to have been demand-
cd of him by a moral necessity.” tr
It seems from a ‘statement in the Boston Cen-
tinel, that the fund which was commenced in
1810, by subscription, for erecting a monument
to the memory of Washington in Boston, now
amounts to 310,000. VVe know not the expense
of the Monument proposed, but presume the
sum already collected, will warrant an early com-
‘mencement of the good wo.rk’.—-'-Regist’cr-

Never had the people of the United States
more cause of gratitude (says the 'f1'cnto1z True

peace abroad and tranquility at home—our coun-

habitants enjoying unusual health. Does -our
thankfulness increase with our blessings ? Or are
our feelings rendered callous by our prosperity ?
Is the piety of Americans as exemplary as the
goodness of providence is distinguished? Or do
