‘ VIRQUE, LIBER7"2”, AND INDEPENDENCE,’

I.

Iziddpendence .’ .’-——The patriotism of many
ofthe good people of this town was inanifest-
inst. in quite a new style. In-
-- ~ custom of firing cannon,
horse-racing was the or-
, lthotigli the blue-laws of
iabits were not strictly ob-
. onable man will deny but
A -y one should be allowed to
act inde end at .’ .’ ! ' Free Trade, and
Racers’ Sights forever.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Distressing accurrence.—Oii--Tuesday, last
a child of Mr. Thomas Crowe, of this town.
aged about 5 years, fell ‘into a kettle of boil-
ing water, and was so- severely scalded that
he survived but a few hours.

The U. S. schr. Grainpus was lying off To-
basco, May 6th. A letter from an officer
states that a piratical vessel, (the same which
robbed the Bellisarius) had entered that port,
with not a gun larger than a musket on board,
surprised the fort, and spiked all the guns but
two. The latter he carried on board his own
vessel, and then proceeded to sea.

[A later account (15th of June) says the
Grampus was at Campeachy, couvoying ves-
sels, and her boats to the nortliward,searchiug
forpii-ates. On the night of the 92d June, in
the absence ofthe Grainpus, :1 Newport schr.
loaded and ready for sea, was cut out ofCam-
peachy, btirncd, one man nuirdercd, and the
rest with difficulty escaped. On the night of
the 4th. a Catskill schr. was also cut out of
Campeachy by the pirates. The crew were
allowed to take to the boats and escape.]

By an ar. at Philadelphia on the 3d lI1Sl,F‘1l1l,

in 7 days from Havana, information is i'éi'7E’(l
that the U. S. schr. Ferret has had an action
to windward of Havana, with some pirates,
and captured two launches. A Spanish brig
wasin co. and captured a schr. with 18 men.

Execution of Pi:-alcs.—On the 22d tilt. ten
pirates were hung at Kingston; and the next
day, ten others were also executed. Aragoniz,
their late captain, when he beheld the gallows,
cried out, Oh, riiy God! and to the bystanders
he exclaimed, ‘May you all, may the whole
world, pardon me, asl pardon those who have
injured me, and as I-'t'rust’ that the Almighty
Father will forgive us‘ all. I die innocent-—I
have wronged no one.’

A man from Lancaster, Penn. who goes by
tlie name oflsaac Brown, has been committed
to jail in Baltimore, on a charge of kidnap-
ping. He sold a free yellow boy, as is alleged,
to a Mr. Hutchinson, of Alexandria.

The Geneva Gazette ofthe 25th ult. states,
that on the afternoon of the preceding day,
while the Rev. Jonatliau Ferris, of Milo, a
Baptist Minister, was looking from a window
in his house during a thunderstorm, the liglit—
ning struck the building, and he was instan-
taneously killed. It threw off the siding of
the house and penetrated the floor, sinking
Mr. F. partly through it. '

The steam-bo'.1t Congress, on her way tip
the i\Iississippi,as we learn from the Pittsburg
papers ofthe 910th instant, ran foul ofa snag,
and was so much injured as to sink soon after-
wards. The passengers, l00in number, were

,saved.———'I‘lie cargo consisted of sugar and ba-

con, and was much injured.

..\"ai2i'_g(rli'ti7i Q/'Ilie Canal open from Salutes-
Iady to Rot‘/it-ster.——0ii the afternoonofThurs-
day last, the water was let into the canal as far
down as the city of Schnectady, to the depth
_oftwo feet, and a light boat came thro’ from
the west to that city. We understand, that it
is reserved for the 4th ofJuly, when the water
is to be letinto the canal at that place to its u-
sual depth of four feet. A nuiubcr of loaded
hoats,:ind probably one or more passage boats
will on that day reach Schnectady from Uti-
ca and the Little Falls, ifuot froin Rochestei
and other places at the wes_t——-a distaiiceof
from 70 to 200 miles, The event we under-
stand will be announced by :1 federal salute,
and other demonstrations of joy and congrat-
ulation.——-.{1lbmi:_i/ fltlv.

I‘;/d8l8l‘n Tcrniiizalinn Q/' the Canril.—It ap-
pears froin the statements in the Buffalo pa-
pers, that the decision ofthe Canal Coiniiiis-
sioners in favor of terminating the canal at
Black Rock, is not final. A re-liearing of
the parties, it is understood, will be allowed
at the meeting ofthe Board at Albany, on the
90th ofthe present month. The probability
is, ‘that a harbor will be constructed at. Black
Rock, and that the canal will also be extend-
ed to BulTalo—tlms favoriiig both places as
much as possible, without building up either
one at the expense ofthe otlier.-——.S‘pcctizlor.

Upwarils of 11,000 barrels of flour arrived
-at Utica, during the first four days of canal
navigation of this season: and 10,460 barrels
of flour were shipped on the canal froiu the
village ofRochester, during ten days.

Wheat has risen in Albany to 193 6d, and
13.5‘ per bushel.

Don David C. Deforcst ofNew-Haven,who
has for several years been Consul General and
Charge de Affairs ofthe United Provinces in
South America, has been removed from of-
fice, and there is at present no agent o'fBu-
cnos Ayres in this country.

An Institution for the reliefofCliildreu af-
fected with Disease incident to the summer
season, was established at Philadelphia in
1818. , Since that period, above Q00\little suf-
ferers have participated in its benefits.

Balliinore Tliealre.-—VVe suppose it may be
regretted by a few ofour readers, although we
believe it will be gratifying to many ofthem
to learn, that the taste for Tlieatrical amuse-
ments is so nearly extinguished in Baltimore,
or confined to so small a number, that for sev-
eral seasons past, the inaiiagers have not re-
ceived in the aggregate, sufficient to pay the
necessary expences, altliough the salaries of
the performers have been rcduced.———Fcd. Gciz_

A gentleman of Virginia passing thro’ S.
Carolina, accidentally fell in at a house where
he found one of his grand-daughters with her
husband, and their three children. Within a
few hours, arrived the father of the wife, and
also the father of the husband ofthe 3 child-
ren——tliey spent the night together. What
makes the coincidence the more remarkable
is, that there were three grand-fathers and one
great grand-fatlier: and the fathers and grand
fathers live more than 400 miles apart.

SECRETARY ‘or .S'I.‘A'1‘E. Hampden
Journal gives the following _ Sling sketch
of the life of the Hon. John Q_.'Adams :

‘He was born in Quincy, July 11, l767.—-

In the 11th year of his age he went with his
father to France, where he resided about 18
months, and returuedto Boston in Aug. 1779..
In November of the same year, he again ac-
companied his father to Europe, and arrived
at Paris in Jan. 1780. In the course of that
year his father having gone to Holland, he
was sent to the University of Leyden. In Ju-
ly, 1781,tlie late chiefjustice Dana received a
con-imission from Congress as minister Pleni-
potentiary to the Empress of Russia. Mr.
Adams went with him as private secretary.
He remained at St. Petersburgh 14 months,
and in Oct. 178Q,left Mr. Dana and returned,
through Sweden, Denmark, Hainburgh, and
Bremen, to Holland. Upon his journey, be
employed the whole winter. From the Hague,
in July, 1783, Mr. Adams went to Paris, and
remained there until the definitive treaty of
peace was signed, (Sept. 3, ofthe same year ;)
from which time until May,1785, he was prin-
cipiilly with his father in England, Holland
and France. At this period, Mr. Adams be-
ing nearly eighteen years of age, returned
home, and after a short ‘interval of study, en-
tered the junior class of Harvard university,
where he graduated in July,1787. He imme-
diately began the study ofthe law in the office
ofthe late chief justice Parsons, and at the
close ofthree years was admitted to the bar.
He remained in Boston four years. As his
professional practice was inconsiderablc dur-
ing this period, he employed much of his time
in political speculations iuthe newspapers. In
l\Iay,l 794, he was appointed minister resident
to the United Netherlands. This nomination
was made by Vvlasliiiigtoii, but‘, it is said, wa-;
first nientioned to the president by Mr. Jeffer-
son. From 1794- to 1601 Mr. Adams was in
Europe, successively employed as public min-
ister in Holland, England, and Prussia. He
resided at Berlin from Noveinber 1797 until
April 1801 ; and during that period concluded
a treaty of commerce with ‘Pl‘llSSlll. He re-
turned home in Sept. 1801. In 1802 he was
elected a ineuiber of the senate of Massachu-
setts, aud served in that capacity one year.
He was then elected senator ofthe U. States.
for six years, from March 4, 1803. In Jtine,
1803, he resigned that office.

In August, 1803, he was appointed minis-
ter plenipotentiary to the emperor ofRussia.
Subsequently he went in the same character
to the court of St. Jaiues, was one of the
Ghent Commissioners; and during Mr. Mon-
roe’saduiinistration,has been secretaryofstate.
He was iriarried at London, in July, 179:2.

Besides the political and poetical produc-
tions ofhis pen, he has published two volumes
oflectures on rhetoric and belles lettres, and
the journal of a tour through Silesia, also in
two volumes: the latter work has been trans-
lated into French. ' '

Such is the outline of the life of the most
promiiieut candidate for the next presidency.
His chance of success rests solely upon his
distiuguislied merits ; iftliese are duly appre-
ciated, all the people will say flmen.

Upon the above the editor of the Rochester
’l‘elegraph remarks as follows :

In this course of public services, commenc-
ing long before his arrival at the age of niaii-
hood, and embracing a period of more than
forty years. Mr. Adams has been equally dis-
tinguislied for the purity of his morals, the ar-
dor of his patriotism, and the strength of his
intellect. Few men have lived a life more
honorable to themselves or more useful to
their country. ‘His public services cl-iallenge
the, severest scrutiny. His private character
is so far beyond the reach of detraction, that
neither envy or malice has ever dared to as-
sail it. Where else can a man be found, who
has been forty years in public life, without
furnishing even a pretext for o_pposition ?—
Who is iriore independent in spirit, more in-
flexible in purpose, or more devoted to the
constitution ofliis country, than John Quincy
.-kdains ? Who can detect a wrong in the long
history of his official life, or point to a blemish
iipou his moral character? When has he iii-
trigucil for office, or sacrificed principles for
power. These are plain questions. Let his
revilers answer them satisfactorily, before they
ask the people to join them in opposing a man
who has so many and such irresistible claims
to their full coiifidenise.

Instead ofopposing the election of Mr. Ad-
ains,we should be grateful in possessing a man
so eminently qualified to succeed the revolu-
iiouary worthies who have formed and estab-
lished a governiueut that promises to extend
its blessings to many generations. Vi/liat bet-
ter evidence do we want, what stronger proof
can we have, of Mr. Adams’ patriotism and
trust-wortliiness, than the coininendations of
Wasliingtoii, Jefferson,L‘rIadison and Monroe ?
He was appointed to an embassy by the im-
mortal Washingtou——Thc illustriousJefferson
selected him for a mission to Russia—i\Iadi-
son removed him to the Court of St. James,
and ‘Monroe called him to the Department of
State. He has served with success and fidel-
ity iii all these responsible stations. I-Iis cliar-
acter and talents are respected by all foreign
governments. He is honored and beloved by
his own countrymen. He retains the full confi-

dence ofthe venerable surviving Presidents.

JVczv Post-Master General.-It was announ-
ced on Szitiirday, and the report is confirmed
by the Washington Republican. received this
morning, that the President ofthe U. States
has appointed Judge McLean, of Ohio, for-
iuerly a Member of Congress, and now Coin-
missioner of the General Land Ofiice, P. M.
General, in the place of R. J. Meigs, Esq. re-
signed; and George Graliam to succeed Mr.
.\IcLeau asCoinmissionei' oftheGeucral Land
Office. - Mr. McLean was a distinguished
MeinlierofCongress during the late war. He
is in the prime oflife, ‘ and has all the quali-
fications for the high and responsible duties
which are reported to have been assigned to
him. His talents and industry, order in bu-
siness, his independence and integrity, emin-
ently qualify him for an office of such impor-
tance as that of the P. M. General.’ It is sup-
posed that ofthe candidates for the Presiden-
cy, Mr. Calhoun is his favorite.-Spectator.

Russian U/rase.—A paragrapli is circula-
ting in most ofthe newspapers throughout the
Union, purporting to be an extract of a letter
from \Vashington, and iinportiug that the
Riissiaii Ukase of September, l8921,‘had been
revoked. This statement is not correct. We
understand that, at the proposal of his Impe-
rial Majesty’s government, recently made, the
minister of the United States at St. Peters-

burg will be furnished with powers and in-

structions to confer with the Russian Cabinet
for the adjustment, to, the satisfaction of all
parties, of their conflictingclaims in relation
to the Northwest coast of America‘: and from
the well known moderation and regard tojus-
tice ofthe Emperor Alexander,‘ no less than
from the friendly dispositions towards the U.
States, so long and so constantly manifested
by him, there is reason to. expect that tliis-ad-
justment will be accomplished in a manner
satisfactory to him, and,at the same time, con-
sistent with all the rights ofthis nation. In
the mean time, it is believed that the comman-
ders ofthe Russian armed vessels upon that
coast have received orders, which will obviate
any further imrtiediato collision with the corti-
iiierce and navigation ofthe United States in
the Pacific Ocean.——.N'at. Int.

Territory of flrkansas.—A very accurate
sketch oftliis section ofthe Uuion,has recently
appeared, from the pen ofJudge Eskridge.—
In this country, which is of considerable ex-'
teiit, there is every variety ofsoil and climate,
and the Mississippi, by which it is bounded on
the east, affords a facility for the navigation
ofthe largest class of steam boats at all seas-

ons ofthe year. » But not only do they possess '

the advantage oftliis ‘ father ofwaters ;’ they
have also many large navigable rivers flowing
within our own territory, with bottoms from
ten to twenty miles wide, ofa soil extremely
rich, and well suited to the culture of tobacco,
corn, and cotton. The Red River is naviga-
ble 19100 miles in this territory, and on each
side ofthe river, from three to six tniles wide,
the soil is as fertile as human avarice can de-
sire. The ore of the lead mines, which have
been discovered there, is said to be quite equal
to that found in the state of Missouri, and
yielding froiu 87 1-2 to 90 per cent. Copper
ore has been found in the county ofIndepend-
eiice, and every county in the territory will
furnish iron ore in abundance. A quarry of
gypsum has been discovered in Clarke county
and salt-petre is extensively mauufactiired on
White-river. Every part of the territory af-
fords salt springs, and considerable quantities
are now riiaiiutlictiired in many ofthe coun-
ties. Vfhite and black sulphur springs, and
chalybcate springs are found in many coun-
ties, and the hot springs, situate in Clarke
county, are 40 or 50 in number, and issue out
of a large hill.—Char.'eslonpa]:er.

.N'ew .Mc.L'icanFlag'.—TlieConstitueritSove-

reign Congress of Mexico, in couseqiience of

the deliberation ofthe govermnent on the 9th
ofApril, whether, or not, a change should be
rnadein the Coat of arms and National Flag,
have decreed: lst. That the shield must be
the Mexican Eagle,‘ standing on the left foot
upon a nopal, or cochineal fig tree,whicli may
grow from a rock among the waters ofthe
lake, and with the right foot grasping a snake
and holding it in aposture for tearing it to
pieces with the beak; and that this blazou
must be bordered with two branches, the one
of laurel, and the other ofoak, according to
the design adopted by the first defenders of
the Independence. 92d. In respect to the Na-
tional Flag, it is decreed that it shall be the
same as heretofore, with the only exception of
placing the Eagle without a crown, which is
also to be the case in the shield.

The military establisluneiit at Detroit, is to
be broken up, and_ the company of U. S. ar-
tillery stationed there,are to be removed to the
Atlantic. The Detroit GEIZ. thinks this meas-
ure of the government is highly impolitic.

Frost in Ju.ly.——A white frost was visible at
Staten Island on the morning ofthe 1st inst.

The subscription in aid ofthe Greeks, at St.
Petersburgh, amounts to upwards of1 million
of rtibles, above £45,843 sterling. The Ein-
press Dowagersuhseribed 10,000 rubles. This
is exclusive ofthe money raised at Odessa and
several other places in Russia.

There is an attorney at law in Springfield.
Vt. who is at this time Justice ofthe Peace,
Registor of Probate, Selectman, Town clerk,
Register of Deeds, School District Clerk,
Treasiirerof the Congregational Society, Li-
brarian, Captain of Artillery, Senior Deacon
in St. Jolin’s Lodge, Scribe in the Washing-
ton Royal Arch Chapter, and District Depu-
ty Grand Master in the G. Lodge ofVermont.

A gentleman who was lately travelling in
one of the southern states, having occasion to
call at a post-office, had opportunity to copy
the superscription of a letter that was lying in
the oflice. It is as follows ; and we will ven-
ture (says the Daily Advertiser) to challenge
any man to produce a grcatei' curiosity ofthe
kind, in any language :

‘ Mr.Mattliew F.Rainey, Alabama——Greene
county. I am not sure it is Greene county :-.
it is French settleiueut, and not far from Tus-
caluso and Matthew Gage, I believe ; and not
far from Dr. Wyllis Pope, I expect.’

The brine in which cucumbers are preserv-
ed, is discovered to be fatally poisonous to eat-
tle and hogs. A gentleman in a neighboring
town, has lost several cattle and hogs in conse-
quence oftlieir;driuking it.—Rulland, Vt. pa.

Colony qf Jews.—Soine weeks since we
published a notice to landholders, from the
society for ineliorating the condition of the
Jews, proposing to purchase land for the furro-
ation of a colony, to be located in the state of
New-York——We now understand that it is
probable the society will purchase 90,000 a-
cres of township No. 5, about 9.5 miles west
of Plattsburg, and near the military turnpike.
An agent has been on to view the premises,
and issatisfied with the soil and situation. The
society has in view ‘ the establishment of an
asylum for the oppressed of that people, who
profess a faith in Christ, or desire to be iii-
structed in the doctrines of the Christian Re-
ligion.’——Platlsburg Republican.

Sailing Qf the Mission.arics.-—On Sunday
afternoon last, Mrs. Judson, together with the
Rev. Jonathan VVade, and his compaiiion,wlio
had been approved and set apart by the Board,
as assistants in the Mission at Burinah, em-
barked on board the ship Edward Newton,
Capt. Charles Bertody, bound to Calcutta.-
At 7 o’clock the stately ship, with all her sails
unfurled, turned her prow to the ocean, and
commenced her long career; carrying in her
bosom a burden more precious than all the
wealth of India—t/is heralds o_/"salvation to be-

Germza, .Ma_7/ 15—A despatch was received
last night from l‘vIarshal Moncey, who had

rriarchedopt to attack the enemy. He writes
that -Mina“"had just retired. His excellency
‘regrets not Iuzmi-ngj heard a certain ’lUh‘l2Z’lTlg

Milans has -evacuated the strong positions

tion of Barcelona,which is theonly open route.

‘ Pu_i/cerda, .Ma3/'11. (Extract of a letter.)-—
The report of the arrival of.Mina at Ripol
and Compredon is true ; our troops, have in-
tercepted him in his route to Barcelona and
compelled‘ him to -retrace his steps. The in-
habitants all turn against him, and he dares
not enter any of the towns. He has now di-
vided his troops into two columns, which are
closely pursued by two of our brigades ; he
appears desirous to march upon C-aradona;
but the division of Molitor will prevent him.

Valadolid, Ma_i/11.—'I‘lie inhabitants ofthe
town of Avilla having demolished the pillar
ofthe Constitution and imprisoned the politi-
cal chief, about 2000 men from Madrid eti-
tered that place and liberated him.

The soldiers ofBallasteros desert daily, and
all the recruits have returned home. ‘

Lo.\'DoN,May 22.—Letters fromParis men-
tioii a report that was current there, that the
French were marching in three divisions up-
on Barcelona. . I

Alerter from Merseilles of the 18th inst.
states that the Junou French frigate has sent
itito that port a Spanish brig, aruied iuCarth-
agena in 1820, and having goods on board for
the W. Indies. She had recently sailed from
Barcelona, with 10 new guns, and a crew of
190 men, destined, as was believed, to act a-
gainst the Insurgents of S. America.

House o_fC'ommons, May £21.——SirJ. Mack-
intosll inquired of the Secretary of Foreign
Affairs with respect to the famous Russian
Ukase. He had learnt from the American
papers that Russia had actually put that de-
cree in force, and wished to know whether a-
ny answer had yet been returned by that gov-
eriunent to the Protest of Great Britain a-
gainst its preposterous pretensions.

M r.Canning replied, that the Protest refer-
red to had been presented and repeated both
at the Congress ofVerona, and in the course
ofsubsequent negociations. Those negocia-
lions were yet pending and inactivity at St.
Petersburg. 1
