Things to be remembered:-—VVe have more
than once seen hints thrown out ofthe reasons
why certain papers in this state supported Mr.
Ci'awford’s pretentious to the Presidency; but
within the last two weeks such an expose of
these reasons has been made, as will,we think,
place that gentleman at least as low as No. two
on the list of candidates for that oflice. Oti
the 916th ult. a letter was picked up in the
streets of Middletown, the contents of which
were of such a nature as to induce a utiiiiber
of respectable gentlemen to meet, and appoint
a committee, who should report on the subject
at a pttblic meeting to be held ontlie £’.9tli. At
this meeting the committee submittedtlic fol-
lowing, which was accepted. The facts dis-
closed will not be soon forgotten.
“The committee, to whom was referred the
expediency of retaining and publisliing a cer-
tain letter found on the public walk, in this
city, on the ‘lfitli inst. Respectfully Report-—
That the committee have been shown a copy
of the letter referred to,wliicli is as follows——
“New-Loi\*n'oN, Conn. Oct. 9,1823.
Dear Sir——As you may have perceived, the
Republican Advocate, of this place, has for
souie time, taken an active and very decided
stand in support of Mr. Crawford and democ-
racy. The republicans here appear all unit-
ed in the same cause. The Advocate, in coii—.
.junctioii with the Times, of Hartford,will cer-
tainly have a just influence in the state and
out ofit. Caritiot the Sentinel ofyour place
be made to do its duty, in,an immediate sup-
port of the interests of the country ? Its co-
operation at fhis time is very desirable.
Iunderstand, on good authority, that the
' *Mercury, ofHartfoi'd, would also do its duty
in this cause, if they were not fearftil oflosing
the printing ofthe U. S. laws. In the discharge
of their ditty, they certainly ought to be protect-
ed against a sacrifice of their interests, and I
should think, there would be republicans stif-
ficiently patriotic to guard them from any loss
for their fidelity to the party." The New-Ha-
ven Register, it is to be feared, will be for
amalgamation, &zc. '
With the highest respect and esteem, I am_
your faithful servant, GEO. H. RICHARDS.
./Jlexttnder Wolcott, esq. ./liiddletown.”
This letter is directed to,“ Alexander ‘Vol-
cott, esq. Collector ofthe Port, rVIiddletowti,”
and was lying on the ground open when found.
It is superscribed in a different hand writing
from the body ofthe letter, and is post-uiai'k-
ed at New-London, “ Oct. 10.” The nature
of its contents, being of so extraordinary a
cast, it was thought to be of sufficient public
interest to justify the detention of the letter,
until the public mind with regard to it, could
in some measure be ascertained. '
Sotiie of the circtiinstauces relating to the
letter tiritler consideratitiri,ivhicli have prescri-
ted themselves to the committee as of some
moment, are, that the writer of the letter is
said to be a clerk in the office ofthe Secretary
ofthe Treastiry ofthe U. Statcs—tlnit it is di-
rected to a triad who enjoys his office under
the patronage of the satire officer, and that of-
ficer is VVilliam H. Crawford, a canditlttte for
the Presiderrcy ofthe U. States—tliat the let-
tcr discloses :.i set purpose to engage several
of the publishers of tiewspapers in this state,
to support the claiuis of Mr. Ciawftird! The
fact is announced, that two have already eu-
gaged in the catise-——atid it is requested that a
third should be made to do its duty iiiiuietli-
alely. The fears ofonc, lest they should lose
the printing of the laws ofthe United States,
are to be qiiicietl. VVlio does not understand
this ? The most tltatestable crimes are often
gilded with fair names! ,
Another circuinstance which is witliin the
recollectioii ofmost of yoti, has occurred to
your coinuiittee, as evidencing a degree of ef-
ficiency in this letter, which marks it as being
it t altogether of a l.iariiiles‘s cast. You. will
recollect that the writer reqiiests, that the
Sentinel, a paper publislied in this city, may
be made to do its duty; now mark the change;
from being the avowed supporter of Mr. Ad-
ams, until that timte, on the 929th day of Oct.
the Sentinel conirricnces in siipptirt of Mr.
Crawford! The im.i;t.«:.r!iutc support of the
Sentinel is requested to be seciiretl in a letter
dated the 9th ofOct. and the support is afford-
ed on the 529th of the same iiiontli—surely
this is a promptitutle which should excite our
oclniiration; aiitl in the next number ofthe
Sentinel, Jlleiztor, the champion of Mr.Craw-
ford appears, antl the p‘rai~es ofMr. Crawford
have been rtirig in that paper from that time
to the present, to almost the entire exclusion
of all the other candidates. Now who is Silen-
tor ? If he should be ascertained to be the
same gentleman on whom public opiiiioti has
long since fixed, he is not a stranger to him,
to whom this letteras addressed; what then is
. the language which it speaks?
When your committee review the nieanré
wliich have been publicly resorted to by the
friends of Mr. Crawford, they cannot but re-
gard the detectioii and exposure of practices
of this kind as it duty incumbent on every cit-
izen who would not sacrifice the cause of
freedom and self govermneiit on the iiiiha|-
lowed sliriue of party feeling and personal
aggratlizeiiieiit. .
Your Committee therefore recouimend the
adoption of the following Resolution: A
Rzsol-veil, As the sense of this meeting that
the letter rcfei‘red to, in the above report might
to be rctaiiiedand preserved as the best, and
only proper tiiotle of ftiruisliing-correct evi-
deuce ofits contents and autlicnticity.
until the last year-
Frouia commuiiicatioii which appeared in
the last Farmer, we extract the following par-
’: agrapli. It goes far towards establishing what
is mentioned in the preceding column.
“ With regard to the letters sent from the
Treasury Department to several editors in
Connecticut, to engage them in the service of
Mr. Crawford, the Times has observed a pru-
dent silence. The fact, however, should be
made krioy.v'ii‘,,a,iid it is now stated, and can be
proved in a cot.irt_ ofjustice, that, above a year
ago, two such letters were sent, by a Clerkin
the T_rea.siiry Departinent, one to the Register
and anotlier to the ./llercury ‘office. If the
“ Times” did not, receive ‘a similar one, they
were quite slighted !. that’s all! It is not sta-
ted that the Times did recei,ve,otie ; but if it
did not, it can say so——if it chooses to do it.”
Fire.—A Hatters’ Shop belonging to Mr.
Lewis Hoyt, of New-Canaau._ ‘ilver-Mine,)

The Albany Dai.Adv. asserts that a private

that the brig Sicily,Bratlfortl,at that port froiu

the 17th Feb. fell in with twofrigrites, one of
which hoisted American colors, and nrdctetl
her to back the maiutopsail, and send hf?!’

boarding her, found by their turb:-ins and wide
trowsers they were not Americans. They
were very polit’e,and he was ushered frorii the
gzangway through a file of servants, white and
black, into the after cabin, to the presence of
a venerable looking man, with a black l.2B':1l‘(.l,
rolling on a ciisliioiietfstif: . His appeatatice
was more like that ofa priest than the coin-
uiander ofa vessel ofwar. While asking the
coirimon place questions in such case's,lie was
served with coffee, pipes,&Lc. by.tlie uutnerotts

LatefromKey West.-—Tlie Ocean has ar. at
Norfolk in 16 days from Key West, bringing
intelligence from that station to the 10th tilt.
The Ocean has brought home forty-six sick
and convalescent seamen. and marines, be-
longing to the Squatlr-on, iii cliarge of initi-
shipuiau Peyton Henley, and attended by
stirgeoii’s mate Van Brtint. These were the
only men unfit for duty at the time the Ocean
sziiled. Corporal Puitlgers, of the marines,
died on the p:i.=s:ige,the l4th inst. ofexceszsive
debility. Dr. James R. Boyce has returned
in the Ocean, in ctinseqiience ofbtitl liettlth.—-
Capt. VVilkins0ii still continued in t-oniniantl
of the naval forces on that station, Coin. Por-
ter iiot liaving arrived there. \Ve learn that
captain W. with the officers and men ofthe
squadron, ?tl‘lCl on the Island, were all in the
enjoyment ofgood health, when the Ocean
sailed. Dr. Duberry was the only medical
officer remaining at Key West.
A letter frotii St. Thomas, dated March 12,
announces the arrival at that port of the
squadron under conimotlore Porter. The of-
ficers and crew still contintied well.
Byinformation obtained at the Patent of-
fice, it appears that nearly a thousand dollars
have been received for patents granted witliiu
the mouth of March ;aiid Mr. Gilbert Brews-
ter, who spent six weeks lately in examining
the various models, declared that he was as-
tonished at the ingenuity there exliibited. He
also declared that the aid he received at that
office, by examining attentively the uiacliine-
ry, has enabled liiiri to perfect so much the
art of spinning wool, that he has reduced the
price of spinning it, to one cent per pound.-
It has never been less than 8 cts. before, and
during the war it was 9.5 cts. per lb.—.N'al.1nt.
Some time ago the house of a captain ofa
vessel, who resides in the Bowery, was robbed,
and a note left on the mantlepiece, running
thus: "l‘lie Dci3il’s cotnplinients to the cap-
Izilti ; and he hasonly taken at this time, ajug
of lit-antly, a pair of cantllesticks, 8<t.c. ; but at
his next visit he will take the captain himself.’
It seems from the complaint of a lady yes-
terdayto the Police, that the house has again
been robbetl. The Devil alluded to, had call-
ed according to promise, but as the captain
was at sea, he consoled himself by carrying a-
way a trunk, containing about 70 dollars in
money, several valuable dresses, silver spoons,
&Lc. The officers of Police have gone in
search of his Satanic Majesty, and we think
that as they are a match for him, he will soon
change his quarters to a more cool situation
on the borders of the North River. We ex-
pect that he will return all the articles except-
iugtlie jug of brandy.—-.IV'at. fidv.

But Mr. B. has a single mass weighing 845
penny weiglits, and a bar weighing 220 pen-
ny weights. . These two masses are worth.
niore than 500 dollars. There have never
been any specimens of gold from the mipes of
South America, equal to these-ythe sight of
them really makes our fingers itcli_ while writ-
-iug this paragraph. Several years ago, there
was a single lump of gold found in this mine,
weighing upwards of 928 pounds avoirdupois,
valued at about 7000 dollars. By an adver-
tisenieiit in this evening’s paper,it will be seen
that Mr. B. offers these specimens for sale.—
The two largest of these specimens may be

7Vcbs'ter’s .D.l.Cf2'01lf.t7‘_1/.—-It is well known
that Noah \Vebster, LL. D. of New-Haven,
engaged nearly 9.0 years ago, in the compila-
tion ofa Dir.-tioriaryoftlie Eiiglisli Language,
with at view to correct inauy inaccuracies,and
supply uiaiiy defects ofotir best works oftliat
kind. As a completion ofthis work has been
tlelayed niucli longer than was expected, aritl
iriquiries are frequently made respecting it,we
have taken some pains to ascertaiii the follow-
ing facts, which we gladly cotiinitiiiicate.
Mr. Webster, after labouring 2 or 3 years,
and proceeding tlii'oiigli two letters of the al-
phabet, fotind liiuiself enibarrassed at every
step by the want of a more tliorough knowl-
edge ofthe origin of words, and the connex-
ion ‘between the different languages of Eti-
rope. He became_ satisfied tlia_t preceding
pl-iilologists and lexicographers had very ini-
perfectly explored these subjects, and that
their writings are not to be relied on as safe
guides, in uiany important particulars. He
then tlireiv aside all their writings, and set
himselfto exaniinetlie languages of Europe,
aiitl those of Western Asia, in-a mode proba-
bly new, and spent ten years in researches
\vlll('ll have restllted in some discoveries which
he supposes to be, of sufficieiit iriiportance to
compensate his labor. He supposes that these
researches will not only illustrate our own
langtiage, btit will assistin the interpretation
ofthe ancient lariguages. He has now arriv-
ed so near the couclusioii ofthe work, that he
purposes to visit Europe the approacliiiig sum
irier, and avail himself of some advantages
which this cotiiitry does not furnish, to giveto
his work all the completeness of which it is
susceptible. VVe sincerely hope that this gen-
tleuiaii, who devoted many years, in the early
part of his life, to the defence and support of
our goverrinicnt, aiitl who has expended his
inattirer years, and a liandsome estate, in the .
pursuit ofknowledge, and in the execution of
his laborious u‘ndertaking,will ultimately meet
with the success which aseries of toilsome
studies would seem to deserve. We hope far-
tlier that he will not be compelled to resort to
foreign patronage for suppo'rt.—Boston Tel.
LoUisviLLi~:, Ken’; March 92.-—We have
conversed with an intelligent gentleman, just
arrived from Missouri, who states, that much
alarm was entertained by the inhabitants tip-
on the frontier, as to the hostile intentions of
the Indians. Their conduct lately, had exci-
ted ctinsiderable suspicion, and fears'.' were en-
tertained, that they had joined a very exten-
sive conspiracy to iriake war upon the white
settlers. It was thought the present force was
not sufiicieut; to keep these daring and rest-
less people in check, particularly if the cou-
spiracy should prove as extensive as it was
feared. There are not more than 3 00 men
to guard a territory of nearly 5000 miles, and
keep in check tipwards of £20,000 warriors,
which can be brought into the field, by the
suspected tribes.
Important.—Aiioflier iriiportatit disclosure
has taken place. It may not be forgotten by
all oftiur readers, that the brig Hal/ttir, sailed
from this port in l8llJ,and has not been heard
froui since, excepting by the story of a black
boy who was on board, and returiied to this
city several years ago, and gave information
that her crew liatl niutinied,’ murdered the
captain anti mate, and Mr. Htinipliries, a pas-
seuger, sctittled the vessel, and had gone to St.
Domingo. The negro boy(now grown up)
saw one of tlie mutineers in Banker-street,’ on
Tlitirsday, and a't once gave information to
the Police. The fellow was last from New-
burgh. He was lap‘preliended yesterday morn-

has been recognized by name, as one of the

The British Monitor states, that the Empe-

seat of his governuient from St. Petersburgh
to Moscow, and that his Iiiiperial Majesty had
signified his iiitentioti never more to reside at
the former city ! Should this resolution be
carried into effect, there can belittle doubt
that it is connected with some political views
upon Turkey, as the distance from Moscow to
the Turkish frontier,is trifling, in comparison
with that from St. Petersburgli.
