European‘ ‘Government to oppose it, was a-
dopted. In advocating this ifesoltititm, Mr.
Mallary said, the. President’s Message pre-
pared _the House. for subjects of great impor-
tance; nay, the President went so far as to
say that ‘ there never was a period, since the
revolution, when, regarding the condition 0l
the civilized world and its bearing on us,there
was greater necessity for devotion in the pub-
]ic serva,nts, to their respective duties, orllor
virtue, patriotism, and utiioii in our coiistitii-
ents." When we come to examine the body
ofthe Message, said be, we discover nothing
to which this language can apply, except the
situation of the great European P0“'6t'Si and
‘the bearing which that situation may have
upon this country. Those p0‘-\fB_!‘l*> llild Uni-
ted their efforts against the cause of freedom
on the Contiiieiit of Europe, and had success-
fully put down every struggle to maintain it.
It was possible they might extend their plans
across the Atlantic, and that their attention
would next ‘be directed to the Republics of
South America. Such appeared to be the
impression of the President. The President
would not have warned the two ‘houses of
Congress that all their firmness would be cal-
led for, if there were not something ofserious
moment in the political horizon, not 5»...-ii by
all. And as, in this ptiblic d_ocuuient, the
Chief Magistrate had thought proper to go so
far, it was certainly proper in the house to
meet his communication by requesting such
iriformi_ition, on the subject to which he had

 

alluded, as he might deem it consistent with

the public ivelfare to disclose.

A proposition was laid on the table by Mr.
Livingston, to provide for increasing the es-
tablishment at West Point so as to admit 500
students. The bill from the Senate, for
the relief of persons imprisoiimed for debt,
was passed. -

The bill to continue for 5 years longer the
iiaifpay pensions to the widows and children
of-officers, seamen and marines, ofthe Navy,
who have died in service, passed through a
committee ofthe’ whole, and the question be-
ing about to be stated on ordering it to a third
reading—Mr. Cobb and Mr. Livei~riiore,matlc
some-objections to its passage, on the ground
that'thet'und was insufficient to meet the claims
which would contiiitie to increase. Mr.Cam-
breleng, in reply, took occasion to notice the
origin and chariicter oftliis fund. In 1800,
Congress, varying from the British rule of
granting the ‘whole ofthe prize money to the
captors, appropriated one half of the proceeds
of inferior -force to create a Navy Pension
Fund for the support ofinvalids. During our
late war, after the fall ofsome our most gal-
lant oflicers and seamen, a question arose,
whether, in strict justice, their widows and
orphans should not be provided for out of that
fund wliich_a'share'oftlieir prize money had
contributed ‘tocreate. Congress by the acts of
1813, l4,granted pensions to tliein,and the roll
now embraces iiivalids,'wido\'vs, and orphans.

Previous to 1812, the fund was iiiconsitler-
able. During the war however, it augmented
very rapidly. It is now ample. IVliile this
fund continued to be regulated by existing
laws, it wasiinpossible that it should not be
always sufficient to provide for the pensions
charged .upon it. He was_unwilling at all
times, to appeal to the passions of the House,
but there was something in the very charac-
ter of tliisbill calculated to rouse the patri_ot-
ism and excite the sympathy of every Ameri-
can. life were now renewing pensions to the
widows and orphans of otir gallant mariners.
Of the veteran Barney, whose valor is recor-
ded in the histories oftwo wars+ofLawrence
whom fate selected as a victim to soothe for a
moinent—but for a inoment—the wounded
pride bf an enemy over whom he had previ-
ously triumphed—-who died as he had lived,
bravely fighting for his country. OfBlakely
and his gallant crew. In the career ofBlalie-
y there was something sublime. His ambi-
"in was ofan elevated cast ; it disdained the
rsuit of helpless enemies. He at once crow-
-d his canvass for the Jritish coast—he ea-
gerly sought dangerous war -aiiiidst fleets of
armed enemies. He found it 211ld_ll'll_l-l‘l1pllt3t.l.
Scarce had we ceased our rejoicing for this
victory,when weheartl of him again literally
surrounded by ei'ieiiiies—siiikiiig one——enga-
ging a second, and retiring only on the ap-
proach of a third. Unhurt, though exposed
in this unequal combat, he gallantly steered
his course to southein latitudes. But here
the liistoijiaii of htiiiiaii affairs drops-liis pen-
cil——anotlier, "more worthy to note the deeds
of gallant men, seizes it as it falls——ihe recor-
ding angel registers their fate——wliere the fate
of brave men should be—-in Heaven !

The bill was then ordered to be engrossed
for a third reading.

1 New-Yorur, Dec. 27.
FROM H./‘tVANA.—-The brig Packet, at
this port, left Havana on the 13th inst. Capt.
Doughty informs that a French frigate arri-
ved off the port oi-i the 9th, with instructions
for re-establishiiig the Royal Government.-
Oii the 10th, she entered the port, firing a sa-
lute, which was answered" by the shipping and
forts. On the same day, the King was pro-
claimed in the Cathedral, in presence of the
Governor and all the principal officers of Ha-
vana, who were escorted by a part ofthe Cat-
alonia, Tarragoiizi and Malaga regiments of
foot. Salutes werciepeatetl from all the Forts,
the townillnniiuated, &.c. The old regula-
tions went into immediate operation. No
smiles were to be seen from the friends ofthe
fflonstitution. A double guard was placed in
the city, and all the taverns and coffee houses

were ordered to be closed at 5 o’clock.

The frigate which brouglitthe above instruc-
tions, was the Eurydice. The frigate which
was stated to have sailed from Cadiz with a
new Gov. for Cuba, was called the Tonnate.

IIAVANA, Dec. l0th.—-Don Francisco Di-
oniscio Vives, &.c. 82.0. makes known tojall
the inhabitants ofthe Island of Cuba, that he

‘ has this moment received the Royal Decrees

of his Majesty, oftlie..‘}d and Eloth of October,
which follow :—-‘ Restored to the plenitude of
my sovereign rights, I annnl every thing that
has been done in virtue of the system called
Constitutional‘, antl order i_he- Captain Gener-
al and Commandant ofthe Island of Cuba, to

-and naval forces under his command, this my
Royal determination. This I expect. from
his fidelity, and that it be done in conformity
with my Royal decree of the 8d inst. In the
Palace of Seville,Oct.Q0. FERDINAND.

The decree of Oct. 3d, tells us, ‘The King
is restored by Divine Providence to the Sove-
reign Rights ofliis ancestors, &.c. and releas-
ad from the bitter captivity he has suffered ;

‘ivious to the fatal 9th of'_\'Iarch 189.0, Whetil

. joyed, and the predilection which his Majesty

obey, guarantee and fulfil by all the military .

that tlie-‘fii'st'care' of his paternal heart ‘has

been to destroy the odious system introduced
by a- few base and insubordinate persons ofthe
army, tinworthy of the confidence that had
been reposed in them. Such baseinstitutions
deserve only to be supported by the inalevo-
lent individualswlio endeavored to defend
them. The weak efforts and atrocious crimes
with which they attempted scandalously to_im-
prison my Royal person and faniily,weie not,
thanks to Divine Provitlence,sufficient against
the generous aid of my august cousin the
King of France, the other Sovereigns of Eu-
rope, and the unaniinoiis, firm and spontane-
on.-i .voice of my beloved subjects, who raised
en masse to restore the ' ancient and whole-
some laws which characterized in my ances-
tors for many centuries, the Spanish name,
power and greatness. In re-establishing them
in my domiuions, my Royal heart will not
rest in quietude, until certain troubles in them
are alloyed, and all in the immense Colonies
given by divine Providence to my glorious
arms are made to partake in their benefits.

‘ A portion of these vast and rich posses-
sions, still a prey to the horrors of a civil and
disastrous w:tr,tliroiigh‘the treason ofthe pow-
erful expedition destined to pacify them, will
be restored to peace and tranquility, it is ho-
ped, and returned to the bosom ofa just and
paternal government anxious for its interest.
Whilst I am considering on the energetic
nieasur-:-s required for this object, it is resolv-
ed that my Royal and legitimate authority he
immetliately re-established in all the Ultra
Marine Doiiiinions on the same forth and con-
dition arid with the same prerogatives as pre-

frvas by violence, deprived of my liberty with
my Royal Fainily.’

Gov.Vives proceeds—‘ the King, then, is
re-established in his sovereign rights and in
the plentitude inherited from his august an-
cestors. The genius of the revolution and of
discord, sowing cxtinvagziiit and impractica-
ble principles, had sricceeded in overturning
the established order ofso many ages ofglory
for the nation; the ambition of a few dema-
go‘ges and the dogmas of the new sects though
ftill of absurd inconsistences, seduced many of
the unwary who could not-penetrate their
saugiiinary projects and pernicious maxims.
The felicity which this Island has always en-

has always shewn to your petitions, &c. are
consitlerations, which impose on us the neces-
sity of being faithful to our Sovreigu, and of
respecting and obeying its benificeiit resolu-
tioiis. [The remainder of the proclama-
tion, denounces ‘ liberal principles-—licentioiis
books, patnplilets, Sec.’ and exhorts the inhab-
itants to behave like good vitssals and merit
the love of their master.] -

COLOMBIA.--A late author gives the fol-
lowing view of the coiniiierci:il advantages
which this country presents :—‘ Their inde-
pendence once estiililislied, the Colombijins
will not delay opening 21 trade with Jnpan,Chi-
rm, and India. Their Coasts, bordering on
the Pacific Ocean, give them great advanta-
ges in such a trade over European nations.--
Porto Bello and Nicaragua. will he in some
years the staples, where all America border-
ing oii the Atlantic, and probably all Europe
itself, will go to purchase Indian mercliaudise.
This change in that great trade will produce
one as considerable, in the relative wealth and
power ofstates, as that of the discovery ofthe
Cape of Good Hope. The Americans them-
selves will take to Bengal and China the met-
al which they ftirnish to Europe for l112lllil'dll1-
ing this trade. The day when commerce
shall take this new direction, and that day is
not sodistant as many suppose, will be thatof
the independence of the nations of Asia as
well as ofA‘nic-rica, not to mention those in-
numerable advantages which iiecessarily re-
sult from unsliackled commerce. The Amer-
icans ofthe United States have carried on the
East India trade, for more than fifteen years
past, with greater relative profitsthaii the Eug-
lish. Those of Colombia will have only a
third of the distance to sail, and will navigate
on cheaper terms.

‘Nor is this all: The Atlantic will be join-
ed to the South Sea by more than one canal.
Nine easy coinmunications between them are
pointed out by M. de Humboldt, in his polit-
ical essay on New Spain. ' Since 1789, boats
have sailed up through the ravine of La Ras-
padura to Choco, by which theyhave passed
from the Pacific Ocean into the sea of the

Antilles. A canal across the Isthmus of Pan-
aina would he a matter ofno great difficulty.
An Istlniius ofoiily 50 miles between two 0-
ceans, cannot be an insuperable barrier to the
inventive genius and perseverance of man in
the present age ;,and the ground is generally
thought by late travellers to be more suitable
for an enterpr__ise of this kind, than the acade-
miciziiis have reported.’

Colombia is bounded on the. north by the
province of Costa Rica in Guatiinala and the
Carribbeaii Sea; on the east, by the Atlantic
and British Guiana ; on the south, by Portii-
guese Guiana; the rive_r Maranon, and Peru:
and on the west by the Pacific Ocean. It thus
extends frotn the 12th degree ofnortliern lati-
tude, in its eastern"portion nearly equal to the
equator, and in its western, nearly to the 70th
degree of southern latitude.

The eastern portion oftliis vast region was
formerly called Venezuela or Cnraccas ; the
western portion NewGrenada orCundinatnar-
ca; and tlie-soiith western extremity‘ ofthe
latter, Quito. The whole is now united in the
republic of Coloinhia. -

The Cordillera of the Andes crosses the
country from the north to the south, a length
of 4Q(1U miles.‘ In Colombia, the greatest ulti-
tude ofthe Andes is conjectured to take place
nearly under the equator, where the one of
Cliiinborazo rises to the amazing height of
7147'yards above the level of the sea.

Colombia has several lakes, particularly the
lake ofMaracaibo, which is 130 mileslong, 90
broad, and cointnunicates .with the Gulfof
Venezuela. Its rivers are large and numer-
ous, particularly the Orinoco.

The total population of Colombia, is
644,600 persons.

.&ccidents.-—I’Ve learn that on the 22d inst-
a son of Mr. Tlioinas Gilbert, of South-Sa-
lem, aged 4 years, fell into a kettle of boiling
water, by which he was so severely scalded as
tooccasion his death in two days after. On
the 18th a similar accident befel_,:i daughter
of Mr. William ‘vVhitford, ofthe same place,
aged about'18 months. '

Arrangenients are making in this place to
give a Ball in aid of the Greeks,on the Aimi-
versary of Jackson’s Victory at New-Orleans.

The following proposition to aid the Greeks
has been suggested in some of tlie-papers ze
Inasmuch as the Members of Congress arcin-
dividually advocates for the Greek cause-—as
a test oftheir friendship, each Member ofeach
House, shall immediately forward. to the N.
York Committee,the amount ofone day’spri_z/,
together with such additional sum as they may
think proper, for the relief ofthe Greeks.-—
The amount for each will be but trifling—mil_y
one day’s wages—_vet the aggregate will make
it llalltlsntiie suin—especially if the President
and Heads 0fDepartment shall imitate or set
the example. .

Meetings in favor ofthe Greeks have been
held by the citizens of Boston, Utica,Roches-
ter," and IVhitehall. On the evening ofthe
19th inst. a sermon was preached in the Meth-
odist Church in Jolin-st. N. Y. by the Rev.
Mr. Bangs,and acollection of,‘-3| 13 to aid the
Greeks taken up. The Pastors of the differ-
ent congregatioiis in Utica' gave notice in the
newspapers that collections for the Greeks
would be taken in their respective churches
on Tlianksgiving-day. The Treasurer of
the Greek Fund acknowledges the receipt of
$50 from the pupils in Union Hall Academy,
N. Y.; 365 from the school of Messrs. Nel-
son 8: Gilfert ; 330 from Mr. G. C. Verplauk;
S14 50 from A. L. Durkiri, hair-tlresser, re-
ceipts of2 days, and the same sum from the
servants in the City Hotel.

The Students of Colombia College have
contribiited $91 dollars to the Greek ‘Food.

The managers of the Albany Tlicatre have
offered the proceeds of one night’s perform-
ance to aid the Greeks. Col. Rutgers, of
N.Y.has contributed $100 to the Greek Fund.

The editor of the Connecticut Mirror, who
occasionally plays offsonie waggery, as well
as poetry, speaking ofthe patriotic donation
to the Greeks, from the Students at Yale Col-
lege, says: ‘ We hope that when the Greeks
obtain their freedoiii, and have a chance to re-
ward their benefactors, they will send otit, to
shew their gratitude, an explanation ofcertaiii
hard words and dubious expressions, which
are now and their to be found in Lucian’s Di-
alogues and Demosthenes’ Orations, with a
glossary ofexplctives, heteroclites, &'.c. which,
iftliey should arrive in middle college. ofa hot
afternoon, just before the bell rings for recita-
tion, would, to many, he peculiarly accepta-
ble. The choicest morsels may be left in the
tutors’ rooms. And, by the bye, as our wor-
thy cliiefinagistrate (who spoke so rapturous-
ly on the subject in his late message) was once
made LL. D. at some of our Colleges, let the
next Patriarch seudhim a Lexicon.

VVe have before its a letter dated .°7.()tli Sept.
at Smyrna, from an intelligent Greek gentle-
man, who mentions that the Turkish govern-
ment had yielded to the deinzinds of Russia ;
and that tlieTurkish admiral who had retired
from the Morea, expressed, nevertheless, a full
assurance of the speedy siibjection of the
Greeks. The writer gives a piteous accoiiut
of the sale by auction, at Smyrna, under the
order of the Turkish authorities, of the pro-
perty of the poor Greeks who had fled from
Smyrna to avoid being massacred. Most of
them had returned from necessity ; but still
their houses and effects were cruelly sacrifi-
ced. The Arinenians were the chief purchas-
ers, and acquired in this way an enormous
booty. Even the clothing of the Greeks were
confiscated, so that they were left in utter
dcstitution.-—.N'alioiial Gtzzelle.

public, as fair down as the excavations have
extended, near to the St. Joseph Stiburbs, ear-
Iv in the month of June, next. This canal is
48 feet in breadtliand will admit vessels draw-
ing 5-. feet of water; the locks are 100 feet
long and 9.0 feet broad, their solidity as well
as the judicious arrangement and manage-
ment ofthe wlioleuiidertaking redounds much
to the credit ofthe Commissioners and the su-
perior abilities of Mr. Biiriiit, the Engineer.
These locks are allowed by all who have in-
spected them fully equal to any in Great Brit-
ain. IVe understand that~qua_rs are to be
built, and inspection and other Stores erected
at the present extremity, near St; Joseph Sti-
burbs; the «facility which this will afford ‘to
