time and the reduiidant revenueof the nation,

Improvement, we offer ‘our congratulations

‘ on the near prospect oftli'e passage of an act,

The bill was yesterday ordered to be read a
third‘ time, by a majority which leaves no
doubt of its final passage, in th‘e House of
Representatives. Of its fate in the Senate,
we run, little hazard in making a favorable
prediction. ‘

Our opinions on this subject may be pecul-
iar ;,but two little bills have already passed
the House of Representatives, at this session,
for making roads in the Territories of Arkan-
sas and Florida, which, if they become laws,
as we presume they will, are of more itiipor-
tance, in our estimation, looking to their ef-
fect onthe social condition, and moral as well
as political strength of tlieconntry, than all
the other laws will be that are likely to pass
at the present session, if we except the one of
which we have just spoken. The bill for the
alteration of the Tariff, to be sure, will, ifit
pass, have an operation favorable to particu-
lar parts ofthe country, and particular inter-
ests; but Internal Improvements benefit eve-
ry body, without exception. The nabob and
the pauper equally share the advantages of
“them; they are, therefore, peculiarly fit for
Republican G_ov'ernnients, the whole policy
of which is to assist the march of intellect and

of physical improvement.—.N'ut. Intell.

 

NEW-Yoax, Jan. 17.

FROM Rio JANEIRO--By the Tuscaloosa,
capt. Mott, we have advices from Rio Janeiro
to the 22d Nov. The political concerns of
the nation were in a very unsettled state.
The Emperor after dissolving the Cortes,
made prisoners of 9 of its members and was
banishing them for France. A new assembly
was called by the Emperor. A friend at Rio
writes, ‘ a Republican form of government is
not likely to be established here, although the
motto is ‘ Independence or Death.’ The troops
of the Emperor are constantly under arms.

Extract of a letter dated Rio Janeiro, Nov. 15.

‘ The cotirse of proceeding, altogether un-
precedented, alluded to in the enclosed, was
the determination of this government not to
‘suffer the baggage of his Excellency Caesar
A. Rodney, to be traiisliipped from the U. S.
ship Congress, to the ship Sally, Capt. Cook,
of Salem, (the ship in which Mr. Rodney was
to proceed to his destined station,) without
the regular inspection by the officers of the
‘customs, to which passengers’ baggage is sub-
.jected, but to which inspection the apparel,in-
structions, &c. of a public minister, destined
from a country in amity with this government
to another "friendly court, should, asa matter
of course, be exempted, particularly as said
baggage was not intended to be landed here.
Mr. Rodney, in a very decided and proper
manner resolved to abandon his property on
board the Congress rather than submit to the
examination of his effects, and by the deter-
mined and spirited objections to the proceed-
ings ofthis government by our Consul, Condy
Raguet, Esq. the baggage ofMr. Rodney was,
after much detention, allowed to be taketi
from the Congress to the Sally without hind-
rance or molestation.’

Rio DE JANEIRO, Oct. 23.—-A Public Din-
_per was ‘yesterday given in this city by the A-

 

__.hierican citizens, to C. A. Rodney, Esq. who

stopped here on his way to the place of his
destination on the 17th Sept. and who by a
course of proceeding atlogethei‘ unprecedented
on the part of this Governtiient,_lias been de-
tained tin_til this day. Mr. Raguet, our Con-

, sul, acted as President, and Mr. James Birck-

head as Vice President, and the company was
honored by the presence of His Excellency

F. V. Goniez,,_Cornmissioner froui Buetios

Ayres on aspecial mission to this government.

In Upper Peru, the hostile armies were ap-
proaching each other, and a decisive battle
was daily expected. It was generally suppo-
sed that the Royalists had the advantage of
the Patriots in point ofofiicers.

At Rio, the recent measures of the Empe-
ror were viewed by the Brazilians with dis-

gust,._and as clearly indicating his intention of

siding with his European friends. The ani-
mosity between the natives and Europeans
was so great, apprehensions hztd existed that
it would lead to bloodshed. The greater part
of the troops were kept at the palace, about 3
miles from town; this measure it was thought

had a tendency to preserve the tranquility of

the city, and was adopted by the government
immediately after the Cortes were put down,
because, it was said, the Emperor could not
rely upon the loyalty of the Brazilian troops
if they were separated from the others. Some
murmurs having been heard from the native
citizens,against tlle recent arbitrary measures,
made it more important with the government
to prevent a coninitiiiication between thetii

andthe disaffected troops, until the warmth of

feeling had sotnewliat subsided,whi_ch seemed
’ to be the case a day or two before the Tusca-
loosa sailed. The troops however, mostly re-
mained out of town, and some of them had
been sent several leagues into the country.

Lord Coclirane had arrived with the Don
Pedro, 64, in want of repairs.

Nine members of the Cortes had been ar-
rested and imprisoned, b8Sld€S_S0lll8 citizens.
All but one ofthe members arrested were sent
away to France, in an Imperial vessel, which
sailed the day before the Tuscaloosa-among
rhern were the three Andrados and their fam-
ilies, Jose Bonefacio, fortiierly tninister of
state, Martinus Francisco, ex minister of Fa-
zenda, and Antonia Carlos, formerly member
of the Cortes at Lisbon, from St. Pauls, lead-
ing members of the house, and said to have
been active enemies of the Emperor, in con-
sequence of the harsh inatiner in which the
two brothers were dismissed from the Minis-
try, and to punish whom was the motive for
suppressing the'C_ortes. The press yet con-
tinued tolerably free, and the people spoke

--with contempt of the Emperor. It was even
said he regretted the high handed measures
be had taken, into which he had been hurried

- by the rancor ofthe European officers of the

army and his household.

Jamaica.—A King—st—o:i paper of the 20th
ult. and letters ofthe same date,state that a re-
volt ofthe negroes was meditated at St. Ma'-

, rys. The design was to btirn the town of

Port Maria: a negro is said to have given
the information, and to have implicated his
ownfather In the plot. Several of the insur-

gents have been secured.

“VlRTUE,LlBElt'1‘Y,AND INDEPENDENCE.”

*** Chaise of the G_reeks.——The Inhabitants
of the town of Norwalk, friendly to the cause
of Grecian Freedom, are_’respectfully invit-
ed to attend aineeting at Mr. U. Joliiison’s
Hotel, "on Monday evening, 26th inst. at 7 o’-
clock, to consider theepropriety of appointing
a committee to solicit contributions in support
of the above cause. _,
A Fatisnn To THE GREEKS.

It is astonishing to see. how like wildfire
the disposition to aid the Greeks has scattered
over the whole country within a very few weeks
——All classes,_ages, and sexes, feel alike inte-
rested, and religion, science, and amusement,
each in their turn are made to help forward
the cause. Sermons, orations, theatrical per-
foriiiances,c__ircusexhibitioii_s,stippers,arid balls,
for the Gt'eeks, are the order ofthe day—this
is surely wonderful ; but will not our reader
think it still more passing strange, when we
inform him that such is the_ sympathy for the
poor Greeks in this place that even the pains
and anxious cares of age are so far forgotten
thattliose who have advanced to mtrtureryears,
following the patriotic example oftliose whose
hearts are ‘with youthful vigorewarm,’ intend
id have a Greek Bull next Tlitirsday evening.

The Greek. Fund continues to iricrease.—
Since our last notice the Treasurer has re-
ceived S67l 75, from the officers, instructors,
cadets and citizens at West Point, 3468 of
which were from the cadets ; $350 from the
ttiembers ofthe Georgia Volunteers, of Sa-
vannah; $86 71, being a collection in Rev.
Dr. Roineyn’s Church ; $52, a collection at
Le Roy, Genesce county ; and $1 9.5, from
two ladies in Carlisle, Penn.

On Thursday evening last the Rev. Mr.
Dey delivered an oration in the Presbyterian
Church at Bridgeport, on the subject of Gre-
cian freedom, at the close of which a collec-
tion was taken up.

William Hillliouse,Esq.ofNew-Haven,has
contributed one hundred dollars to the Greek
Fund, now collecting in that city.

The ‘ General Society of Mechanics’ in N.
Haven,liave contributed 350 to the same fund.

The inhabitants ofthe lst Society in Wind-
sor, in this state, have raised $120 for Greece.

We are highly gratified with the spirit that
is pervading the country in respect to the hero
ofNew Orleans, and unless we are very much
mistaken it angiirs that the people ofthe U-
nited States begin to think seriously of him
astheir next President. At several places in
this state the 8th ofJaiiiiary has been noticed
with more than common interest, and the
same may be said of other states. A splendid
ball was given in honor to him in Baltitnore,
at which he was invited to attetid, but in con-
sequence of official duties, and pre-engage-
merits, he found it impossible to comply with
the request. At VVasliington, also, a grand
ball was made for liitii, which he honoured
with his presence, after. Hrs. Adams’ Assem-
bly broke tip. Mr. Carter, the editor of the
New-York Statesman, who is spending the
winter in VVashington, writes that the General
“is emphatically the popular man ofthe city,
and receives the utmost attention and respect
wherever he goes.” A correspondent ofthe
Spectator says he has a peculiar affaliility,
mildness, and politeness of maniier, which
puts down prejudice, and wins the esteem and
affection ofall who come in contact with him.

On New-Year’s day, Mr.Custis, the adopted
son of VVashington, presented to Gen. Jack-
son the military pocket Telescope used by the
' father ofliis country,’ in the revoltitioiiary
war. . The General is said to have received
this revolutionary relic in a manner peculiarly
impressive, which showed that he was still a-
live to all the heroic feelings ofthe soldier, the
patriot and the friend. He replied that he re-
ceived a remembrance of the great father of
his country with feelings not to be expressed
by words, and that it was with pride and pleas-
ure he found liimselfselccted as the deposito-
ry ofany thing which had belonged to one
whose memory is fondly cherished by the wise
and good ofall nations, and continues to grow
with the growth, and strengthen with ;the
strength, of our happy country. On the
8th the General received another present, still
uiore fruitful than the first, in honorable, de-
lightfiil recollections. It was apair of pistols,
elegantly wrought, but bearing the marks of
age, which had been presented to Gen. VVash—
ington by the Marquis la Fayette, and used by
the former during the revolutionary war. It
was presented by one of the legatees of Gen.
Washington, through the hands ofCol. Chas.
F. Mercer, ofthe House of Representatives,
in presence ofmaiiy distinguished individuals.
On receiving them the General said that coni-
ing from such a source and on such a day,
gave to the presenta history and a value cal-
culated to excite the warmest feelings of his
heart. No present could have been more ac-
ceptable. As instruments which, in the hands
ofthe father of his country atid of his bosom
associate, (alluding to La Fayette) contribut-
ed to the establishment ofthe independence
we enjoy, they merit to be considered sacred
and holy relics; and I shall keep them, con-
tinued he, feelingly impressed with a remem-
brance of their peculiar history.

On the same day the General dined with a
select party of distinguished friends of both
sexes. Mr. Carter \vas one. To him we are
indebted for a description of what took
place oti the occasion. On taking his seat at
the table between two blooming ladies, the
General gallantly remarked that he was a
(horn in the midst of roses. Several toasts
suited to the occasion were given, and after
the General had retired, a bumper was drank
to the day and its hero. Gen. Jackson ate at
table from the identical plate which General
Washington used at his last dinner. It was
sent from Virginia expressly for the occasion.
One ofthe ladies had placed around it a
wreath oflaurel and myrtle entwined. The
plate is ofFrencli china,and is perfectly white,
except a small stamp of a crown on the out-
side ofthe bottom, which led one ofthe party
to remark, that Gen.Washington 8L his succes-
sor to the plate, always kept the crown under.
But Jacksoii’s honors do not end here. In
the evening Mrs. Adams gave him a party, at
which 1000 persons are supposed to have at-
tended. , The rooms were decorated with la_u-
rels, ever-greens, and roses, in addition to the
multitude of paintings and plates that adorn-

 

ed the walls. At 9b’clock Gen. Jackson on-

tered theroom, and was conducted by _Mrs.
Adams through the apartments. .
ed remarkably well, saluting his: -.l.’|?|'€l1_dS and
receiving their congratulations with his usual
urbanity and affability. _ _ _
Mrs. Adams, in her manners, unites dignity

"ally plain, unassuming, and unostentatious in

professing what’ he does not feel, received his
visitors with his usual cordiality and politeness.
Without aiming-at parade and show,_he never-
fails to place his company at their case, and
to render his entertainments pleasant and a-
greeable. __
manners more than compensate_for that pol-
ished and, practised courtesy, which some oth-
ers possess. , Among his neighbours and in
private life, the character ofMr. Adams ‘tsun-
nsually respected and esteemed ; and it is on-
ly amidst the conflicts and turriioils of politics,
that he has made enemies.” - . ~= »

General Jackson has been nominated for
President by the young men of Baltimore, at
a meeting held on the 7th instant. ,

Various resolutions have passed the Legis-
lature of Alabariia, proposing Gen.‘Jacltson as
a suitable candidate for President. _

Aletter from a soldier of the Revolution,
published in the National"Ititelligencer, has
the following paragraph: Ican see but one
objection against acltiiowledgingtlie Iii_depeii-
deuce ofthe Greeks: that is, the oppositioti
of the Holy Alliance being so great to the civ-
il_ liberty of mankind, might, perhaps, lead
them to turn their arms against those poor
sufferers, if befriended by our Republic.
If we shall have to defend ourselves against
the Holy Alliance, as hinted in the Message:
would it not be wellto give them Old Hickory?
Surely, iftlie Presidency goes by merit, Jack-
son must get it. He has done more for his
countrytlian all the other candidates combined.

At a meeting ofa number of the republican
members of the general Assembly ofVirginia,
it was resolved, that the republican members
of Congress from that state he recommended
to endeavour to procure a nomitiatiou of fit
persons to fill the office of President and V.
President ofthe U. States.

Colonization Soci'ety.—A ship has‘ recently
sailed from Norfolk, with 1920 colonists tojoiii
the American settlement at Liberia. The
expense oftransportatioii are much less than
was expected, being only 820 each, the socie-
ty paying lor the provisions.

Dwelling.-On the 3d inst. two gentlemen
left Washington for Bladensburgli, with the
intention of fightitig a duel, but on their arri-
val on the ground they settled tliequarrel, and
returned to the city without firing a shot.
Maj. S. Clark, of Utica, lately challenged
Adj. Gen. Parker, but the latter refused to
fight. The affair is not yet settled.

It is worthy of record that the North River
was free from ice on the 12th inst. and that
several vessels have arrived at N. York from
Albany and 'I‘roy. At Buffalo a great fresliet
has been produced by the melting of the snow
in that viciiiity, and the breaking up of the
ice on Biiffulo creek. The lake was free froui
ice on the 5th inst.

fldroit Roguery.-—On the 12th inst. a lad
was sent by Messrs. Murritt and Bart of New-
York, to make a deposit of $1500 in one of
the banks. On his. way hezwas met by aper-
son who took the money from him, directing
him to run back to the store where he w_as
wanted, and he would.do the business at the
banks. On the next day the villian was
caught and $75 of the money recovered.

On the 8th inst. 12 of the members of the
society of Friends, called Shakers, residing at
Niskeuiia, were brought to Albany, under a
warrant, for refusing to perform militia duty,
and conitnitted to close confinement in the
county gaol. And next evening, the colonel
ofthe regiment, within whose district ofcom-
niaiid the Shakers reside, having heard of
their coiifitienient, remitted all their fiiies,and
they were discharged frotii prisonfsz. sent home.

.Murder.—A man named Othello Church, a
respectable inhabitant of the town ofFriend-
ship, Allegany county, was murdered on the
226th of December in the most deliberate and
cold blooded manner. About one o’clock in
the ruorning a man on liorse-back rode up to
his house, and informed hirii that he had at
length paid a certain debt to one Davenport,
(for which Mr. Church was security,) and if
he would step to the door he would show him

 

 

. a receipt. Mr. C. got out of bed, opened the

door, and wlieigreachiiig for the paper, a car-
bine was fired at him by the villain, the con-
tents of which entered his breast, and he in-
stantly expired. Mr. C. was security for a
Mr. How, and by merely iiitimating his fears
that he would be compelled ultimately to pay
thedebt, had enraged him to such a degree
that How repeatedly threatened his life. Sus-
picioii, therefore, immediately rested on How;
piirsnit was made to his house ; a carbine was
found with every appearance ofliaving been
recently discharged : and his horse was found
in a high state of perspiration, with other in-
dications ofhaving been ridden excessively
hard. These circumstances appeared so un-
favorable to his innocence, that he was coni-
mitted, to await his trial at the Feb. Circuit.
Riots at Wilmington, ’Dcl.—On the 3d inst.
it has been stated, a mob assembled _at this
place, and burnt an effigy of Capt. Biddle.
TheAurora states that another tnob assembled
about 8 o’clock on Tuesday evening withan
effigy, the body of which ’_’ as probably stuffed
with hay, and on the outsl__fg§‘rlaubed ‘with tat ;
the limbs of this figure contained cr,acke'rs,,—_-
The mob then marched up French"-s't.._7t_o the-
house of the collector of the customs, at the
corner of Secoiid-st.; then up to the house of
Thomas M’Dowell, Esq. Justice of theI_’eace;
they then passed to or neat‘-“the premises of
Mr. John Payne, screaming out ‘ dOWn with
John Poyue,’ 8r.c. Squire M’p0Well being
in his ofiice, ran out and was joined by the
collector and his watch. The mob next turn-
ed downFrench-st. to the lower market house;
the cornbustibles in the body ofthe efligy soon
took fire and was blown to atoms, when the
digraceful scene ended. These disgraceful
acts were in consequence ofau alleged_rndig-
nity offered to Mr. C. A. Rodney, Minister to
Buenos Ayres, by Capt. Biddle, on the voy-
age to South America. , _
Spanish Clat'ms.——A letter from Washing-
ton states that the Commissioners have come,
to a decision against all the St. Doniiiigoca-'
ses, on the ground, that the voyages were ‘ille-
gal. This decisionspreads far and wide, 0-
ver the docket. " 2

His simplicity and sincerity of ,

Jllail Hobbergt/C—A man named Siiloman
lle appear- Bellew, the contractor and carrier of the mail-
from Richmond .,to Charlottesvilles, Va. h_as
_ been committed for trial at the fornier place,
Mr. Carter “says, on a charge of having robbed the mail.

A resolution has passed the_ Legislature of

late voyage to Rio Janeiro.

Meetings are proposed at Washingtoncity,
to consider the propriety of petitioning Con-
gress for admission of the District of Colum-
bia, into the Union, as a Territory.

A letter from Alvarado," dated Dec. 12, says
that the castle of St. Juan de Uloa is in a ve-
ry distressing coiidition,being destitute of pro-
visions, and greatly injured by the fire from
Vera Cruz. Disalfection is visible in the
countenaiices of both officers and men.

Imprisonment for Dcbt.—It is stated on the
authority of a_ committee ofthe grand jury of
the county of Suffolk, (Mass.) to shew the ten-
deiicy ofimprisoiiinent for debt to harden the
dispositioiis ofcreditors,tliat the wlio'le amount
ofdebts and costs for which 192 persons were
iuiprisoned in the county jail was 3130 9i.
The original debt of one of this number was
$2 17, and the highest debt was $27. Iftli_e
facts were known, such, we have no tbaibt,
would be found to be the case in every part
of the country. There are btit few persons
ever imprisoned for large debts. It is the
poor who sufi'er. Of war, it is said, one mur-
der makes a villaiu—millio1is, a hero. And
such is the case with debtors. Those who
crash for a few hundred thousands, are said to
break like gentlemen ;they can coinpourid,aiid
still drink their wine and ride in their coaches.
But the poor laborer who has_ the misfortune
to owe five dollars, is sent offto prison with-
out pity, while his brokeii-liearted and shiver-
ing wife,and hungry children,a_re left to freeze,
starve, or go to the Aliiis House.—Spcctator.

Robbery of the Grave.—On the night of
Wednesday the 7th inst. the grave of a re-
spectable young female in the town of Orange
was opened, and the corpse stolen therefrom
for the purpose of dissection. The friends ‘of
the deceased after discovering the outrage,pro-
cured a search warrant, and rapaired to the
medical college in this city, where the corpse
was found 2 fortunately it had not been dissect-
ed, and the body was re-conveyed to the pace
from whence it had been taken. The next
day the remains were interred in the garden
of the parent, [Mix Laban Smitli.]

The civil authority have been busily em-
ployed during the week, in ferreting out the
perpetrators of this offence ; one person has
been bound over to the Superior Court, in a
bond of 81000 to answer the charge; and
process has issued against others. We have
never known so great an excitement in the
city on any occasion as we have witnessed du-
ring the past week. For two nights, it was
necessary for the civil authority and the exec-
utive ofiicers to be employed, aided by a de-
tachment ofthe militia, in preventing acts of
violence on the part ofan indignant commu-
iiity.-——.N'ew-Haven Register. '

[The Mayor of New-Haven has offered a
reward of $300 for the discovery of the per-
sons concerned in this disgraceful act.]

ABoston paper mentions that three persons
were tried at the Court sitting in that city for
disinterring, dead bodies. One was fined, and
'l.W0‘C07tllI)t3(l in the’ state -prison. The satne
paper, we believe, mentions the arrival of an-
other Egyptian nitininiy, and we suppose that
the very same Jury and Judges who convict-
ed and condemned the stcalers of dead bodies
in Massachusetts, will go to see the mummy,
and thus reward the stealers ofdead bodies at
Tliebes.— U. S. Gazette.’

Improvement of Oswego Ri'ver.——From the
Onondaga Register it appears that the inhab-
itants residing on the shores of lake Ontario
and the river St. Lawrence are about to peti-
tion the legislature oftliis state for aid in ini-
proving the navigation of Oswego river, and
in constructing a canal around the Oswego
falls. They state that a canal 1% miles long,
conducted up the valleyof the Oswego river,
with locks to overcome a fall of I00 feet, and
another short cut, only 4 miles long, would '0-
pen a navigable communication between the
Erie canal and lake Ontario, and thus intro-
duce us to a coast of 600 miles in extent, and
draw to our markets much ofthe trade which
now passes to our Canadian neighbors. The
whole expense of this improvement, it is sup-
posed would not exceed $200,000..——.N'.Y.Obs.

A quatitity of Contraband Goods, valued at
88000, were seized at Montpelier, Vt. on the
1st inst. and while the officers were conveying
the goods to the custom-house, they were at-
tacked by a mob, who rescued them from the
officers and secreted them. A warrant was
ininiediately issued against the assailants for
highway robbery, and an accomplice in the
afi'ray arrested,who, upon condition ofrelease,
‘disclosed the place of concealment of the
goods, which were again secured.

Upwards ofl5,000 pieces of flannel, of 46
yards each, were manufactured last year with-
in 40 miles of Boston,and it is calculated that
more than 80,000 pieces will be manufactured
the present year. In New-York and Connec-
ticut there are large manufactories of this
comriiodity, which in 18 months will be able
to supply the whole country.
