by the British Commissioner, to our government.
A large portion ofthe British army had reach-
ed England. The allied Sovereigns, and high
military commanders were assembling at Paris,
for the purpose of taking an ali‘c.ctionate and it is
hoped, a long farewell, of the House of Bourbon.
The Emperor of Russia and King of Prussia,
were at Valenciennes on the 2 lst Oct. The Duke
of \Vel1ington, was to give the next day, a splen-
did fete to the Sovereigns, and on the following
day a grand review of the troops ; W116“: imme-
diately after, the evacuation was to follow.
On the 30th Oct. fifty sail of vessels arrived at

.21 ,Revolutz'omzry I22:/1cc1z'tz'on.--It is understood
that Sir G. i\’lcGrcgor’s expedition will receive a
considerable accession of force from continental
volunteers. He has chartered ten transports.--—
It is rumoured that they will rendezvous at Old
Providence, off the Mosquito shore, where Com.
Aury has already made a lodgment; and thence,
that Sir G. will direct his future movements, ac-
cording to circumstances, so as either to open a
direct communication with the Independents in
e the interior of New-Grenada, or to produce an
importantdiversion in their favour, by landing
on the Isthmus of Darien. It is by some con-
jectured, that his ultimate views are not uncon-
nected with the intended operations of Lord
Cochrane, in the Pacific. It is no longer a secret
that his lordship has proceeded to take the com-
mend of the Independent naval force at Valpa-
raiso, and {it cannot be doubted that successful
attacks upon the wealthy Spanish settlements to
the Northward, of that port are contemplated by
that enterprising ollicer. Hence, it is not un-
likely t-lratva pr.rt_ of the force now ‘on the eve of
sailing, may be destined to penetrate across the
Isthmus. and to be employed by his lordship as a
corps of debarkation.

Trcaty will; S,-'uzz'n.-— fhe National Intelligen-
cer has published the Treaty with Spain, which
was concluded at Madrid, in 180?, but the ratifi-
cation of which, by Spain, has been withheld un-
til recently.
V This Treaty provides for the settlement, by
the arbitration of Commissioners, of all claims.
_prior to the year 1802, of the citizens of Spain
and of the United States, respectively, for losses
sustained by the depredations of citizens of the
two governments, prior to the year 1802.
The claims for spoilatitm by French privatecrs
carrying their prizes into the ports of Spain, du-
ring the same period, and which have been ever
since the subject of negotiation, (says the Intelli-
gencer) are not provided for. They arc, howev-
er, expressly reserved, and the existence of the
claims thus distinctly recognized.
fiflzssachusctts Claz'm.s- ——-The question respect-
ing the Massaclitisetts Claims,(says the National
Intelligencer of the 19th inst.) came up in the
routine ofbusiness yesterday; but, by the course
it took, the public are disappointed of the antici-
‘l pared debate and decision. The advocates of the
claitn were unwilling to take it up, and, by their
desire, the bill slumber-5 on the table until the
termination of the session shall also terminate
its existence. 'l‘here is not we believe the least
prospectof its being called up during the present
session ; and, if it were called up, the proceed-
ings of yesterday indicate the certainty ofits re-
jection —-Of the probability of this fate, it is pre-
sumed the It-iemls of the bill were ‘aware, and
therefore declined consuming the time of the
House by a fruitless discussion ; preferring rath-
er to take their chance at a future Congress, when
— time shall have mellowed the recollection of the
occurrences connected with this claim, and soft-
ened the aspcrity which some of them were cal-
culated to excite.
I = VVe learn from ‘.Vashington, says the Philadel-
' phia Gazette, that it is understood the Cabinet
i‘ have come to a determination that a considerable
reduction shall be made‘ in the stall‘ of the army
’ _i of the United States. Gen. Jacksonis daily ex-
pected at the seat of government. On account
of ill health, and consideration of business, it is
his intention to retire‘. V

_.._
T has often been remarked, and always with
truth, that the people of Connecticut are a
studious and reflecting‘ people; that knowledge
is more generally diffused amongst them, than it
is in any portion of this, or any other country...
\Ve do not speak of that scientific knowledge,
which has given fame to :1 Bacon, a Jvcquton, and
a Lock-r—-a Riltcnl1ousc_ a Fra71.{‘li7z, and a Rush ;
but of that knowledge which gives every man
some ideas upon almost every subject.
Newspapers have multiplied in Connecticut,
in proportion to the population, beyond all exam-
ple. They are cheap and useful vehicles of com-
municating details of the passing events of the
day 5 but their columns are chiefly occupied with
the advertisements of 1\lcrchants, and the pro-
ductions of political partizuns. If their pages
are graced with the essays ofthe moralist and the
scientific scholar, they are generally lost with the
week in which they are presented to the world,
and cannot be regained.
VV e propose to furnish a Jllont/zly Re/zoszftory,
in which the Historian, the Biogmp/zrr, the ./lgrz'-
culluralisf, the JlIa7_z2l/lzcfurcr, the Jldlsccllazzcoz.-5
Scholar, and the Port may deposit the result of
their researches, and the productions of their
genius in a mlume ti here it may be pI‘t:::t:t'V-
ed.
In nnr }Vi.r.-rnrz'rrv/ /_.7r-f/nr.'Jm:'71t. we shall endeav-
readcrs with brief and authentic Lives of the de-..
ceased, and Memoirs of the living VVorthies of
‘Qonne ticut, in the State, the C‘/zurclz, the ./ffrlm ,
‘and t e fields of Poetry. Connecticut has pro-
' dncéd its full quota‘ of Statesman, Divz'm:.9, So!-
dz'¢.~r.9, and Poets, and their memories ought to be
cherished.
The flgiczrlt-zzrcl Dc/zartmrnt of our Magazine
will occupy a larger space than any other. The._
rapidly increasing attelntion to the all important
‘subject of agriculture, furnishes a‘ sure presage
of the rising importance of our highly fertile
state. It must become an agricultural and man-
ufacturing state, or its rank in the union will be
lost—-its active citizens will emigrate, and its
present cheering ‘aspect will be changed, for a
melancholy succession of “ Deserted Villages.”
The immense markets at no great distance from
its borders, will always furnish a ready sale and
a high price foi-all its surplus animal and vegeta-
ble-protlu'ce. VV’e earnestly invite the scientific
m;t'n, who ‘has familiarizéd himself with the the-
ory of agriculture", and particularly the practical
farmer, whose experiments have resulted favora-
bly, to communicate for our Matzazine the re.-
sult of their rt:Seat‘cht:s and experience. The
organization of the tlilfercnt ./lgricultmvzl Socie-
tz'cs——-accounts of their Cat/ll’-S/zo7L's and Fairs,
and the bestowmentof premiums upon success-
ful competitors, will be entitled to aconspicuous
place in our Journal.
_In'our Dc/zartmrnl’ for the Ma7z2gfactu7'crs We
shall insert the c.v.vay.9, accounts of the c:r/zcri-
mcnts and_izn/2:-ovenzcnts of the ingenious artists
of our inventive country. Specimens of vari-
ous manufactures, protfuced at our larger estab-
lishments, and in families, have already excited
the admiration of the most competent ju€lges.—-
Manufacture is the hand-maid of Agriculture,
and tc.-gethcr, are the two great pillars of Com-
mercc.
In our Illisccllarzcous Dc/Iartmcnt, we shall re-
cord the labors of the irlvestigaling rcasancr, and
the productions of the general scholar. \Ve
shall endeavor to furnish the reader with that
science which will instruct-i-that diversity which
will please—-that amusement which is innocent
--and shall aim to “lzold I716 mirror u/z to na-
lure.”
In our Poezical Drjzartincnt, we shall, with the
exercise of our best judgment, select from the
prolific region before us. the choicest flowers,
whether of native or foreign growth.
In our Irztcllzgcrzccr we shallpublish a brief
monthly summary of-the most interesting events
of passing time, in the political and religious
world. .
Important State PH/Iflr-9 shall have a depart-
ment as occasion requires ; but not a pai'ag-rap!)
upon party politics shall be admitted. 'l’hfa_t" ‘sub-
ject more properly belongs to the weekly’ Jour-
nals. ‘ ’
Abhough we shall not assume the characterof
“Professional Reviewers,” we shall notice the
publications of the day, in such a manner as we
think will be most conducive to the encourage-
ment of native genius.
In these various departments, and others to
"whi'cl1'r.mr l'vl’Ctt‘l{ifiiq§§:§XiCnt.l, it will be our unde-
viating aim to miitgléi"tiscl't\l instruction, with in-
nocent amusement. Although we will not pre-
clude nursclves from enriching this Journal with
the choice fruits which the boundless store house
of European Literature affords ; yet, it is our de-
sign to give the preference to ./lmcrican genius,
however much our own ac/ioiars may be disposed
to depreciate the scientific labors of our own
comnrynzcn. '
The Editor and Publishers have received the
assurances of the patronage and assistance of ma-
ny of the most eminent scientific and literary
characters in the state ; and they most urgently
solicit them tocontribute to the work the produc-
tions of their leisure hours ; being sensible that‘,
a value will thereby be impatted to it, which theyij
should despair of giving it, by their own unas-It
sisted labours. They feela deep solicitude in
presenting to those who may patronize these pro-
posals, a 111912!/zly J0u7‘7ml, which shall gratify
their wishes, and not disgrace the literary (char-
acter of the state. _ '
