of pensions at the. several offices in the United
States for paying the same.
Our Friend8.—We wonder what our friends.
-the ’British’t'eviewer‘s, will say of us, when they
see -the congressional proceedings of the present
session? Capt. Symmcs has seriously requested
aid to enter into the hollow of the earth. by the hole
at the north, and James Bennett, of Philadelphia,
has asked for a patent to secure him the benefits
of his invention to fly overt’! .’ Surely, they will
be quite astonished--and we may expect some Ol
their most dignified pai'agi'aphS about these
thiiigs.——-.Nz'lcs’ Register. -'
The Navy.--Tlie Court Martial on board the
Independence 74, still continues in session, and
\\ e takepridc in saying it is composed of some of
the brightest ornaments“ in the constellation of
American —na-valglory. Many of the witnesses,
also, are among the most distinguished of those
who shed‘ lustre on the name of our country dtir-
The heroes of the Ocean, and
of the Lake's, are there, adorned with the proud
memorials which they have won in her service—-
the star-spanglcd epaulette, and the glittering
sword. ~ The doings of the_Court are characteriz-
ed by great dignity antl decorum, and its mem-
bers are remarked for their intelligence in the ex-
amination of the witnesses, ‘and their knowledge
of the law in the case.--Boston Gazette.
"*La!e.stfram Jwatiznzas.-—By,th’e scht'.Hugh, G.
Seymour, in 20 days from Matanzas, "we learn
that markets at that place," on the 2d of March.
for all kinds-of American produce, were very dull,
-and sales in- consequence very slow. VVe learn
nothing new ’concerning'the pirates in the neigh-
bdhrliood of Matanzas, ‘except _that some of those
captured lately had been condemned to death, and
would no doubt be executed. The government
seemed determined to put them down.--‘-F. Gaz.
_“-Szizfzfzreésion of Pz'racy._—-_-The proc-lamation of
the"-Capt_aii_i_.Geiieral of Cuba, dated at Havana,
T0th‘inst. directs : That no coasting vessel shall
obtain it license without producing satisfactory se-
curity, which shall be‘ responsible for the objects
of the voyage and for every misdemeanor ‘com-.
mitted t_herewith—the same to extend _to the
boatsgand launches‘. Each vessel to carry a roll
'of equipage of its crew, and each individual a
.certilicat'e of his being matriculated, which are to
be held by the rfiptain. None of the crew to re-
main behind except in case of sickness.'-'-I.icen-
ses shall ‘be granted only for a limited time, with-
in which they shall be returned or "satisfactory ac
count rendered for their abuse to the captain of
the port, who ‘will require official proof from the
places where the vessel may have been.
' Every captain or "shipper must present his li-
cence, on his arrival at the port of destination, to
the Alcade, or military commander, who will
endorse thereon the day of his arrival, and keep
it till the (lay of his de>parttire, All owners of
‘launches, boats, Jskiffs, or canoes, must report
them within three days to receive their ntimbers
which must be painted on «both sides of the ‘up- '
per works, and on their sails, in.as large letters
on the hull as possible, and in letters not less than
18 inches on the sails--the ‘same regulation to
extend to fishermen and coasters. , T
_ Pirates‘ and .Pi-racy.--From the Charleston
Courier ..'e perceiveithat Captain White, of the
sloop Emily, arrived there on the 19th inst. from
the Havana; that thc_U. States brig Enterprise,
Lieut. Kearney, had convoyed out from that port
a fleet ofAinet'ican vessels on the 3d instant, and
had not returned. ‘ No recent piracies, adds the
Ct?ut'ier, had beeniheard of in the neighbourhood
;..thc presence of the enterprize seems to have
' verawcd them.’ But the Bosto Advertiser of
uesday, March 26, fut'nislies a more satisfacto-
-zry account why * no recent piracies have been
heard ofin that neighbourhood,’ viz. because the
Fctive and vigilant commander of the Enterprize,
‘as had been reported by capt. Seabury from Cu-
iba, who was boarded in sight of Cape Antonio by
line brig, that she had captured on the 8th instant,
gno less than 8 piratical vessels, with their crews,
amounting to about 180 men, and had them all in
-actual possession at that time. Surely, ifany.com-
-_IIiEut(lcl' in our navy may boast ‘ that he has done
the state some service,’ Lieut. Kearney is entitled
to use that language; and, we hope thatthe state
will, by a speedy and honorable promotion, shew
that she does not forget her sense of his services.
‘ Evening Post.
The ‘U. S. schr. Alligator was spoken 3d ult.
at Crooked Island Passage, then in pursuit ofa
pirate. The officersinformed that they had cap-

R/‘rode Islaml Insolvent La*ws..--The Stipreme
Judicial Court of Rhode Island, now sitting at-
Provideuce, " has decided unanimously after full
argumcnhin the case of Seth Appleby vs. Marma-
duke Mowry, that the Insolvent act ofthat state,
passed in June 1756, is unconstitutional, and on
that ground decided against the defendant who.
_ had pleaded the proceeding under this act, in bar‘
of an actionon a promissory note. It is stated in
i the Providence Gazette that this decision has been
awaited with great anxiety by a large portion of
‘that’-coinr,m.:ni_ty.--,Baaton .r1i1vc_rtiacr. '

l ‘We understand, through the friends in this
country of the Ametican Minister in Peters-
hurg, that his residence ls-a very agreeable one.
The general department ofthe Emperor and his
and his family, who live in a style of splendour
rather unusual for an American minister, at that
court. For a considerable time previous to the
late winter, His Majesty had however been very
little in his capital-—_.tlie interesting concerns in
the southern borders having detained him at a
distance. About the first of January the final die-
had not then been cast ; though war_was every
moment expected.---Washington Gazette.
The governor of Louisiana, Thomas B. Rob-
ertson, Esq. in a late speech to the Legislature of
that state, thus‘ denounces imfirisonnzcntjbr deb! :-
5 How it is,’ says he, * that this remnant of barbar-
ism has been suffered‘t'o survive, whilst the brood
of iniquities with which it is connected have been
annihilated, it is difiicut to comprehend; but it
is as unjust as it is cruel and impolitic. Impris-
onment is no more to be found in the bond than
blood ; and altho’ Shylock was denied his pound
of flesh, our laws mcanly step in ; give to ajudg-
ment for property a value pat-amgount to human
liberty ; deprive society of what belongs to it, the
labor of its citizens ; paiicler to the vengeance of
petty tyrants, who fill society with widows and or-
phans by the living death they inflict--on whom?
On those certainly not as fortunate, nor probably
as knavish as themselves. Governments, to make
mankind happy, should. not only r-..-t_rain from
harsh and cruel acts, but should prevent individ-
uals frum indulging their bad and detestable pas-
sions.’ -
Inten:ficrancc.—In testimony against this vice
we take pleasure in citing the following extract
of a letter from a late president of the U. States.
It furnishes texts for volumes ofuselul comment.
It would be an easy task to verify these forcible,
but just expressions, by citing copiously from
the best histories of mankind, and the best ethi-
cal writer:
‘ A drunkard, (says he.) is the most selfish be-
ing in the univers'e. He has no sense of modes-
ty, shame or disgrace; he has no sense of duty,
or sympathy of affection with his father or moth-
er, his brother or sister, his friend or neighbour,
his wifetand children 5 nor reverence for his God:
po sense of futurity in this world or the other——-
all is swallowed up in the- mad, mad, selfish joy
of the moment. Is it not humiliating, that Ma--
liometans and Hind-‘nus shoultl put "to shame the
whole Christian world, by their superiorexam-
ples of temperance? Is it not degrading to Eng-
lishmen and Americans, that thcy.ai‘e'so infinite-
ly exceeded by the French, in this carditral vir-
tue E’ And is it not mortifying,__beyond all expres-
sion,.that we Americans, should" cxceedall other
eight millions of people on the globe, as I V6-llI_V
believe we do, in tliisdegradiiig, beastly vice of
intemperanco 3’ h . -'
Wild Shcc/2 of North ./Imerica.-—-VVe have been
favored witha specimen" of the wool of the Ovis
Montana Americana, brought from the Rocky
Mountains, near the sourccsof the Missouri »and*
Columbia rivers. This wool. in fineness, soft-
ness, and delicacy, resembles-‘that of "the Cash-
mere goat, from which the beautiful shawls of
that name are made. We learn on the authority
of a gentleman, who has traversed the Rocky
Mountains from the north branch of the Colum-
bia to the Athapescotv, that nfumerotis flocks of
these sheep inhabit that region. No doubt is,en-,
tcrtained that this animal may be domesticated,
and its fleece wrought into fabrics, which will ri-
val in ‘richness and beauty the far famed produc-
tions of the east. The French government have
recently imported» several hundreds of Cashmere
goats from their native region, which thrive well
in France, and promise to be a source of great
will be followed by the government of the United
my stationed on the Missouri, to procure a num-
haps it would be worth the expense tosend an ex-
ploring party, specially for that object. A skin of
this animalis deposited in the Lyceum of Nam.
ral l"-listory in this city, and was presented by
John Jacob Astor, Esq.--JV’. Y. Statesman.
.4 Curious Invcntion.—The N. Y. Mere. Adv.
states that a curious invention in fire arms has
lately been -completed by an ingenious mechanic
ofthat city,by the name of Isaiah Jennings,wliicli,
in point of importance both for public and private
‘use, is probably not equalled by any invention of
the present age. It. is a single barrel and lock,
stocked in the usual style, ‘and is perfectly sim-
ple, safe and convenient. The number of char-
ges may be extended to fifteen or even twenty,-
each charge being under as complete control as
a single charge in an ordinary gun ; and may be
fired in the space of-' two..sécontls to a charge, or
at longer intervals, at the option of the possessor,
with the same accuracy and force as anyothcr
gun. 'l'h_e principle can be applied to any mus-
to fire from 2 to 12 times, without adding any
thing to the incumbrance of the pcice, except 5
or 6 ounces ‘to its weight. Thus the soldier is
put in possession. of a gun, out ofwhich he can
throw 12 or 15 charges at his enemy, at the com-
mencement of an engagement, as last as he can
cock and pull trigger, and be left inpossession of
a simple gun, to load and fire single charges like
any other gun, with the advantage of its priming
itself. The cavalry may be furnished with hols-
ter pistols,_containing 5 or 6 charges, ‘which can
be used on horseback, with the same convenience
as ordinary pistols. The navy can be furnished
with muskets for marines in close engagements,
and boarding pistols, unequalled by any thing in
naval warfare. In defending a breach, the power
of ten men is concentrated in one, and in arming
our small garrisons on the Indian frontiers, their
power might be increased fourfold, at an incon-
siderable expcncc‘; and as a defence against the
-pirates that now throng our neighbouring waters,
two or three of these. guns, in the hands of skil-
ful m'arksmen, would be able to cut oil‘ awhole
b0at's‘crew, before ‘they could succeed in board-
ing o.~vessel. ;
As a sporting, or hunting gun, its advantages
are not lessimportant.. Itenablesthc sportsman
court"is decidedly friendly to Mr. Middletown,
national’ wealth. VVe hope this laudable example ,'
States ; and that measures will be taken, through _
the agency-of the enterprising officers of our ar- -
ber of these curious and valuable animals} Per- I’
ket, rifle, fowling piece or pistol, and can be made __
to iI¥~‘et__a {lock with twice the advantages of a
doiible bhrrel gun, 'without any of its -incumbran-
ces, and it enables the hunter to meet his game
in any eniergency. This gun has been shown to
ti'ia,ny of the principal ofiicers of our navy and ar-
mm fl,'I1'd»has been highly,approved of, and indeed
no"_onc who has seen a fair exhibition of its pow-
ers, has even been able to find an objection to it.
It willisliortly be offered to our government, and
we trust it will meet the attention it merits. A
._manufactory of these guns is now established at
.,'M
to call and satisfy himself as to the ’correctness of
this statement.

The,Republicans of New-York have nominat-
ed the Hon. Joseph C. Yates, Judge of the Supe-
rior Court, for Governor, and Gen. Erastus Root,
for Lieut. Governor, of that State. The revised
constitution of that State provides that the elec-
tion for State Officers, members ofAssembly and
oftloiigress, be hereafter hclel dui-i_n'g the month
of November. The Governor elected at that
time, enters on the duties of his office on the first
of January i'ollowing——so that Governor Clinton
will not, probably, live out all the days for which
ing,.we believe, on the first ofJune, 1823. The
Governors of that state will, in future, be chosen
for two years only.—Rcgz'atcr.
Look Out.-*-On Friday last, as Mr. Joel Gilbert
was travelling from Ridgefield to this city, liis
t: tank was stolen from his chaise, which was not
discovered until he had rode about halfa mile.—-
On discovering that thc.t'runlt was gone he imme-
diately went in pursuit of the thief, and after rid-
inga little distance discovered him in a field,in the
act of putting on a shirt. Mr. G. rushed upon him
unexpectedly, and found no difiiculty in securing
him. , After getting what articles the thief had
stolen from the trunk, ‘(the trunk having been
broken opcn,) he carried him to Fairfield, where
he was tried and sentenced to be whipped, and to
paycosts. The fellow calls his name William
To met‘, and says he landed in this country about a

that he does not exaggerate when he affirms that
