The bill for the reduction ofthe Army has pas- sed the House of Representatives by a large ma- jority, [109 to 48] btit which ivoul(fpi'obably have been I-ai'gr:r', had the details of the bill correspond- ed ,»au,e‘,- more nearly with the plan reconimend- ed in“the report of the Secretary of \Var. The objections to the details of the bill, as has been in- timated, may be in some degree obviated by a- mendmenss in the Senate, or by supplementary enactments. VVe hope, should the bill become a Law it mav have all the good and none of the ill 1 ‘ . , . . effects which have been anticipated from It. We p:1rtie_-.:lzirly regret that the topographical engin- eers are to be dischatgerl ; because we have seen that in peace as well as in war, their services are of great value to the country-—s0 much 50» "1 0”" view, that were the whole army to be disbanded. we should like to see this intelligent and useful Little corps kept in the ptnlic employ.“ _ The bi“ p,.0,.i(1i,,cr for the rcliefol the family of . :3 _ , the tale Com. Pt:l‘l‘\', who. by his untimely death, have been left in circumstances of distress, was yesterday discussed in the House of Representa- lives and was ordered to be engrossed and read a thirtf time to-day. There is little doubt of its passage. VVe would hope there is no doubt. \Ve do not think we mistake the feelings of the 11a- tion, when we say that the measure is in unison with them. If Congress cannot alua_vs act from the impulse of generous ‘or of grateful feeling, but must regulate its actions in general by pru- dential considerattions, it is pleasing to find at least one occasion which it may be generous, without being indiscreet. The minority on this bill as far as the debate on it afforded the means of jticlglnga opposed it as a precedent, rather than from any objection to the measure itself. ['1 his bill passed the next day, and allows $400 per annum f0!‘ U16 widow of the commodore (during life or till inter- man-im-e,) and $150 for each of the four children #3 until they arrive at 91 Years Pf age-J _ The bill to continue in force the act to provide for soldiers disabled by known wounds in‘tb)e rev- olutionary war, has passed the House of Lepre- sentatives. Missociti. Jan. 26.—-The I-louse yesterday resolved itself into a cmnniittee of the whole, and proceeded to the consideration of the resolution submitted by Il/Ir.

Not satisfied with an exhibition on land, they tried the effect on the water. '.l'wo large fires were made on the ice in the river op- posing the town, and at one of them an ox was roasted, and feasted on with bread_ and tile by a great crowd, in the style, says a Kingston paper, 6 which John Bull is so partial to on such occa- sions.’ ‘ Brockville anrl Augusta were also illuminated. and ‘ as a /zroqf of the Queen’s innocence, the ef- tigies of Majocchi and Demont were burned.’ I NORWALK GAZETTE. WED.N'E.S'D.flY, J.}i.7v'U.uR1' 31, 1821. The message of De VVitt Clinton, Governor of the state of New-Yot k, relative to the interference ofthe general government in his late election, is a document which has excited such general atten- tion throughout the union, that we have published it at full length. As it would be utterly out of our power to give the volume of certificates which accompany this message, it may not be improper to state, that, in our opinion, they do not by any means support even the flimsy charges contained in the message itself; mticli less do they prove the assertion of interference on the part of officers of the general government arrayed as “ a disciplined corps” a- gainst State rights, an assertion, which it will be remembered, was distinctly made in the Govern- or’s speech at the fall meeting of the Assembly, and in consequence of which assertion, the call for the present iiiessage was made. The facts, provided they are such, (and even this is doubtful, as two of the certificates accom- panyirig the iness-age, it is already sworn, are false.) as detailed by Mr. Clinton, will appear to every candid utiprejudiced man to prove nothing more than this~—-that several persons, citizens of the state of New-York, holding ofiices under the general goveriiineiit, voted 4Igrzi.71.9z him, and ex- erted their influence to induce others to \OlC a- gainst him. as (}'o“uernor of the state of N. York. NOW: until De VVitt Clinton can prove that it is one of the rights of that state, to have him and him only for Governor, we should like to kl}-‘)\\‘ how stich voting, and such influence of others to vote, can be an infringement of state rights. Or is it wished by De ‘Witt Clinton to lay it down as a constitutional doctrine to the citizens of these states, that they lose all their rights as,/rce men in the state in which they reside, the mo- ment that they accept any oflice under the gener- al government ? V One of these two abstirdities, it appears to us, must be taken as rational doctrine, before the message can be considered as proving any thing more, than that the vanity of this man has closed his eyes against the perception of plain comrrion sense. A northerti paper states, that the ice formed at the foot of Niagara Fall, is reported to be within twenty feetas high as Table Rock. If this be true, the thickness of the ice is about one liuiidred and twenty feet.——-Com. flriv. At Providence on Friday morning the l9th in- stant, the mercury of the thermornetors exposed to a northern aspect, ranged as low as 18 and 20 degrees below Zero—-an intensity of cold which had never been surpassed in that town. ‘ V‘v'e have often read accounts (says the Providence Journal) of the splitting of the trunks of trees, in more northerly latitudes, from the severity of the cold. btit an instaiitte ofit never came within our notice until, on 1"riduy morning last, this occurred in a large pear tree, which cracked open to the centre, with a lotid report, and disclosed a loiigituditial fissure sufficiently wide to admit the finger. ' ./1 Treaty has lately been coiicltitlecl with the Creek Indians, by which the state of Georgia has obvuined a tract of country ‘ about 200 miles in length and 4-0 in breadth, for which the sum of $450,000 is to be paid; out of this sum $250,000 is to be r'eserved, that being the amount of the claims of the citizens of Georgia against the iri- dians.'

The John Adams, arrived at Norfolk, sailed from Cape Sierra Leone on the 4th Nov. at H liich time the American Colony of people of color, at Sheibro, were in prosperous state as could be expected, from the inactive lives they led, not yet having obtained their land. The Sierra Leone Gazette pays a handsome compliment to the zeal manifested by this got- ernmcnt, in sending so considerable a portion of their naval force, to put an etid to the detestable traffic in slaves, and to the exertions of our naval officers, employed on this service; and adds, ‘ The French flag isnow the only one that can af- ford a cover to this abominable traffic. VVe trust that so great an outrage to the feelings of all christendom will no longer be permitted to stain the colors of the ‘ Most Christian King.’ It ap- pears from the same paper that the British troops had taken possession of the Banana Islands, as one of the King of England’s African posse!-‘n‘l01)S. Two native chiefs (Sannassee and Alm.imy,) were occasioning considerable annoyance to the settlements of Sierra Leone, in the neighborliooel of which they are carrying on war, for the pur- pose merely, it is said, of compelling one to ren- der fealty to the other as his liege lord. St. Domingo.-—Accounts are received from Cape Haytiaii, of the discovery of an extensive and deep laid plot, by the blacks of that place, to massacre the whites and niulattoes, and pillage the city. The discovery was made but a few hours previous to the time fixed on for carrying their project into execution. The conspirators amount- ed, it is said, to upwards of 5000 blacks, all arm- ed. On the first alarm being given of their in- tentions, the inhabitants were panic struck, and flew on board the shipping for safety. It was reported at I-’ort-an-Prince, that the Crown belonging to C/zriszo/iizr, was stolen by one of his subjects and sold to an American captain for twelve dalzm .9 .’ This crown was manufactured in Philadelphia, and cost 70,000 dollars.

H. Carroll, Esq. of Annapolis, Md. having been left, in his minority, a number of slaves, worth from 8 to 10.000 dollars, resolved, on com- ing of age, to set them free--the first legal act he performed (a few months ago) was to cai'ry his early and benevolent resolution into effect.
