./illcmpt at Itlratttl.--—AlJ”UI “V” ‘‘._’‘?‘’l_‘5 33°:
‘a highly respectable merchant oftlns city. re-
ceived by mail a bill oflading from'N. lurk,
which purported to witness the sl,"P'“3.".l 1"
the scltr. Knickerbocker, by llone 8;. Sands, a
parcel of sugars, amounting to about tune
thousand dollars. A few evenings after the
bill had been received, a tlemleman Called 0"
the Merchant at his dwelling house. and ban-
ded him a letter which introdttced to him aMr.
J. Sands. Jr. the brother of the Junior partner
in New-York. After introducing: the bearer
to the notice of the hlerchant, the letter went
in to say, that for any monies fttrnislted Mr.
Satids. Jr. his draft on Hone 8: Sands would
xie duly honored, for such advances might be
:hart1e(l to the invoice ofsugars on their way
0 Philadelphia. All this looketl well and
ilausiblr-. ; hnt’the merchant in reply to a re-
:pl85I of Mr. Sands, Jr. to accept his draft for
at thottsand dollars, desired him to call at his
counting house the following morning, anti
evaded his request. 'I‘he next day Mr.Santls
calledas invited, and found a letter mailed at
New York upon the desk, directed to him,and
in the care ofthe Merchant. On opening it
he had received advice of the shipment ofa-«
nother invoice of sugars to Baltimore, and the
probability of his being obliged to go on to at-
tend to effecting sales. lie conversed famil-
iarly with the Merchanton prospect oftnar-
ketat Baltimore,—whether a risermight be
expected-—how the demand was in this city,
and whether it would be adviseable to for-
ward the balance remaining unsold at the end
uf~2 weeks. During this constiltation which
lasted nearly two hours, he spoke easily and
correctly. and appeared well acquainted with
mercantile affairs. At the conclusionhe in-
quired when the steam boat left for Baltimore,
and on being told, requested the loan ofa few
ltttndred dollars, for which he would give his
draft on Hone and Sands. The merchant‘de-
clined, adding that it was contrary to his rule,
t_o make zttlvaiices on goods until they were
in his hands. Mr. James Sands, Jr. then
took his leave,and has notbecnheard ofsince.
A short time after the Knickerbocker arriv-
ed, but with no sugars front Hone and Sands
on hoard. On further inquiry it was learned
that no such house existed, and that the whole
affair was a deliberate, though ingenious at-
tempt to swindle l

M.ercanlt'le Compc!:'tt'on.—Two merchants
from New-Orleans, were in this village, last
week, offering Orleans sugar, in large lots, at
rates soniething-lmver than the New York pri-
ces.——The_v proposed delivering it by the way

I ofthe Mississippi, Ohio, Lake Erie, &Lc.—

We are informed that owing to the immense
co_mpetition in steam navigation on those riv-
ers, this is practicable, and at very handsome
advances to the owners.

Jllf’/l€Tal0_£’_lj -—The Mineralogical Cabinet
at Cambridge has lately received an accession
of several thousand specimens, and Dr.\Veh-
ster is now engaged in classifying and arrang-
ing the whole collection.—-Boston Cent.

Peri.'ins’s En_gri7ze.—-It is stated, that Mr.
Pt-rltios has so far perfected his steam-engine,
as to.ha-veoi-ytained from an English capitalist
£526,000 sterling for a share of his patent!

- Singular Discover}/.—A few days since, a
gentleman of Dublin, who had been “but a,_
week in this country, discovered near New-
Brunswick a quantity ofmusket balls, which
tad been buried probably since the revolu-
ion. Seating himselfnpon a hillock formed
iy the intersection of gullies tnade by the
ain, he observed in the ravine small whitish
:toues, as he conceived them to be, ofsingu-
ar ttniform size and shape. Upon examina-
ion, however, they were found to be musket
talls. Upon fttrtlter search, the quantity was
bond to be comparatively large, and a per-
on living in the neighborltood, who happen-
ed to be near at the time, carried away one
tr two stone weight. He carefully covered
he hole, after marking its situation. The

7 JrIerz'toriot'zs .0ction.—About 9 o’clock on
Sunday evening, a horse was observed, or
athcr heard, (the evening being dark) coin-
ng up Bee-kman st. upon a lttll gallop, and
lrawing after_ him, on its side, a chaise, which
tad been upset. As the attempt to stop him
ry speaking seemed only to increase his speed,
is he was passing the corner of Beekman and
‘Iassau sts. where the people were running in
:very direction and approaching Broadway,
vhitzh was literally filled with people, a Mr.
Ephraim Frost, to the probable safety ofmany
:itizeus, and at the imminent risk of his own
ife, sprang directly in frontal the horse and
akiug good aim, fortunately seized him by
he bridle and after being drawn two or 3 rods
succeeded in stopping _him. Such actions
illOlll(l not gouumentionetl. Two gentlemen
brown from the carriage were not materially
.njured.-—.dnzcrican.

From Europe.—-By arrivals at N. York on
the 29th, from Havre and Liverpool, advices
from Loutlon to the 9.0th nlt. are received.--
I‘hey contain no news. It was said that a
-number of ships ofwar were aboutto sail fr.
England with troops for Lisbon. It appears
‘rout sortie advices frotn Greece that the pro-
Iince of Abocorona has submitted to the
Furlts, and that the island ofCandia ltas se-
terely suffered by Turkish barbarity. Above
30,000 persons had fled from the island.

Execution o_/'IttIrbt'de.—By an arrival at N.
York from Alvarado, we have official inform-
ttiou that the Ex-Etnperor Iluibitle was ap-
trehentled on tlte l5thJnly, at Arragos, while
ravelliug in disguise, and carried to Padilla
there he was shot on the 18th, agreeably to
he law passed on the 28th April. No meas-
tres had been taken by the Government in
egartl to his family, who remained at Sota
ya Marina.

The U.S. ship Franklin, Com. ‘Stewart, ar-
ived at New-York on the 229th inst. in 93
says frotn Valparaiso, and 39 days from Rio
e Jnneiro. We learn by this arrival that the
fhiliau expedition against Cltiloe ltad been
cfeatetl, anti returned in a very shattered
ontlilion.--—Lord Cocltrane was at Rio,
cttdy to sail, halving repaired his 74 gun ship.

Ten or fifteen cases ofyellow fcverhave oc-
urred at Charleston within a few days.

_ TUESDAY, AUGUST 3!, 18-24,

LA F.nn-:'r'i'r:.——Tliis week we have room

of this ‘ gttestol't.be nation’ at the several pla-
ces through which he passed on his journey to
Boston, and at that city. In otrr last we 0,-
tnitted a" particular description ofthe proceed-
ings at Horseneck, from a want of authentic
information ; we have since learnt that an cl-
cgant arch was erected over Putnatn’s Hill,
and adorned by the ladies with a wreath of
sweet briar and roses : in the centre was the
following neat inscription, written by the ven-
erable Dr. Lewis, at Chaplain in the Revolu-
tion : “ This arch, on the Hill rendered memo-
rable by the brave Putnam, is erected in honor
of the illustrious Marqutfs de La Fayette, the
early and diSlI‘ng‘1LiSlled Champion o/'.z9meri-
can Liberty, and the tried frte-nd of W'a.shw'.ng-
ton. Above the arch waved the flag which
the regimeutofthat place carried iii the battle
of W'hiteplains. When the Marquis arrived
he was introduced to the Rev.Dr.Lewis,who,
on taking him by the hand, said “ VVitlt tltc
millions of America, I welcotne yott to this
lautl of freedom, and rejoice that God has spa-
red my life to see that veteran General, who
so eminently distinguished himself in procu-
ring her liberties.” The General thou ad
vatrced to the arch, bowed to the ladies and
gentlemen, walked down the hill, and then
took his carriage and proceeded on his jour-
ney. On parting, Dr. Lewis said, ‘ Sir, A-
merica loves you’—‘ And, sir,’ said the Mar-
quis, ‘I truly love America.’.

The General arrived at Fairfield about half
past ten at night, where he was received in
a suitable tnanner by the few whose patience
had not become vrearied in waiting till so late
an hour for his arrival. The following ad-
dress was presented to him in behalf of the
citizens . “ SlR.—‘-The citizens of Fairfield,
participating in the sentiments of veneration
and gratitude which pervade this Great Re-
public, assetnble to testify their affection to
the august individual whose services contrib-
uted so essentially to the National Independ-
ence and prosperity which they now enjoy.-—
With the deepest sensibility we contrast this
auspicious (lay with the appalling scenes of
1779, when our dwellings were in flatncs, and
our streets. filled with the armed troops ofa
powerful nation, bent on the destruction ofour
liberties. Reflecting on our revolutionary
struggle, we identify the names of WASHING-
TON and LA FAYETTE ; and in the sublime
virtues of the Heroes and Sages who directed
our fortunes in that momentous crisis, we dis-
cover the goodness ofthe Being who rules 0-
-vcr thc destinies of nations.”

The General and his suite sttpped at Mr.
Knapp’s Hotel, where an elegant entertain-
ment had been prepared by the young ladies
ofthe place, free of expense. A correspond-
ent ofthe N. Y. Dai. Adv. says “the decora-
tions of the table were planned "on a style of
the greatest elegance ; the dishes were quite
enveloped with ever-greens and scattering
flowers; and on taking their seats at the ta-
ble the guests might have supposed themselves
_invited to a feast ofwre.°.~tlis and flowers. The
table was like the bed ofsome fairy’: enchant-
ed garden, so entirely did the decorations o-
ver-shadow and conceal the rich collation be-
neath. When this verdant veil was removed,
the scene was changed as suddenly as at the
dissolving ofa spell, and the company could
not repress their surprise. The General ex-
pressed his gratification at this specimen of
fctnale taste, but regretted that it should be so
soon destroyed to gratify that ofthe gentlemen!

After remaining at Fairfield about an hour
the General proceeded to Bridgeport to lodge.

Ztlr. Knapp’s Hotel, supported by Gen Foote
and Lambert Lockwood, Esq. and received
the congratulations of the inhabitants. A sa-
lute was fired, and other marks of respect paid
him, after which he pursued his journey.

At Milford the General alighted frotn his
carriage, and walked along shaking hands
with the people who tbronged the road.

He arrived at New-Haven at 10 o’clock, es-
corted by the horse guards. His arrival was
announced by a salute of9.4 guns, the ringing
ofbells, and cheers ofthe multitude. He was
received at M0t‘se’s Hotel by the Comtnon
Council, and a crowd of citizens : among the
number was Gov.VVolcott, who addressed him
as follows: “ GENERAL-——I congratulate you
on yottr arrival in the United States, and I
bid you welcome to the good old republican
state ofConnecicnt, where you will find none
bttt sincere friends, who feel grateful for yotir
distinguished services in favor of their coun-
try, and admirers of youreminent exertions
in support of their principles both here and
in Europe.”

To this address the General returned an af-
fectionate and eloquent reply. The address
of the Mayor has not been publishetl. All
the faculty of the College, the Rev. Clergy,
anti all the civil and military authorities were
individually itroduced to him, together with
multitudes of private citizens, revolutionary
soldiers, &.c. The troops were paraded in
front of the Hotel and fired a salute. They
then marched by in review, followed by a
train of three hundred students ofthe College,
two and two, with the badges of their several
societies. At 11 o’clock, the General with
his suite, sat down to breakfast with the Com-
mon Council, Gov. \Volcott, all the authori-
ties, the Rev. Clergy, the Faculty of the Col-
lege, the New-York committee, and the sur-
viving ofiicers of the Revolution.

While at breakfast, says the Register, the
gentlemen at the table were surprised to hear
that the rcomsjust left by them were occupi-
ed by their wives and other ladies. All the
parlors intlte house were full and overflowing
with crowds ofthe fair sex, who sent a depu-
tation to the Mayor to demand the honours of
an admission to the levee of the General.—-
Such a call was not to be refused. The du-
ties ofthe table being ended, a Frenchman, a
soldier, and a gentleman could not but be at
the service of the ladies. More than three
httndred with their children, had the pleasure
ofa particular introduction.. He was surpri-
sed&delighted at this array ofbeauty $5 grace.

After breakfast, the General visited the
College, and various parts of the city. His
visit to the College, says the Journal, was re-
ceived with very animated, cheering by the
Students, who formed an open line from the
South gate to the door of the Lyceum-thro’
which he passed supported by the President
ofthe College and the Hon. James Hillhouse,

Esq. After visiting the public rootns of the

only for an abbreviated notice ofthe reception '

In the uiorniiig he appeared on the piazza of

College he returned to his carriage in the‘

same manner, and was again cheered on his
departure, by the Students. .iAt 91 o’clock, P.
M‘, be left_the city, atnidst the discharge of
caution and the ringing of bells, attended by a
military escort and a large number ofcitizens.

At East-Haven, Guilford, Killingworth, N.
Lorulon, Norwich, and almost every town be-
tween New-Haven and Boston, he was rec’d
with the utmost attention and respect. He
spent a part ofthe Sabbath at New London-,
and attended divine service at the Presbyteri-
an and Episcopal’ churches. On Sunday
night be lodged at Plaiufield, * and arrived at
Providence next forenloon, where he was
finely received. After spending a few hours
there he proceeded to Dedham, wltcre he ar-
rived at 11 o’clock at night, and was received
by nearly all the military of Norfolk county.
At 2 o’clock in the morning he arrived at the
house of Gov. Eustis, in Roxbury, and rested
a few hours. In the morning he was escorted
into Boston by perhaps 10,000 military.—
When at the boundaries of the city he was
met by the Civil Authorities, and the Hon.Mr.
Quincy,the Mayor,gave the welcome and con-
gratulations ofthe city in the following address.

Sia——The Citizens of Boston welcome you
on your retttrn to the United States ; mindful
of your early zeal in the cause of American
Independence, grateful for your distinguished
share in the perils and glories of its achieve-
ment. \Vhen urged by a generous sympathy,‘
you first landed on these shores; you found a
people engaged in an arduousand eventful
struggle for liberty, with apparently inade-
quate means, aud amidst dubious omens. Af-
ter the lapse ofnearly halfa century, you find
the same people prosperous beyond all hope
and all precedent——their liberty secure; sit-
ting in its strength——without fear and without
reproach. In your youth you joined the
standard ofthree millions ofpeople, raised in
an unequal and uncertain conflict. In your
advanced ‘age you return and are met by ten
millions of people, their descendants, whose
hearts throng hither to greet your approach
and to rejoice in it. .,

This is not the movement of a turbulent
populace excited by the fresh laurcls of sortie
recent conqueror. It is a grave, moral, intel-
lectttal impulse.

Your name, Sir,—tbe name ofLatFayette,
is associated with the tnost perilous, and most
glorious periods ofour Revolution :—¥_-with the
itnperishable natnes of Washington, and of
that numerous host of Heroes which adorn
the proudest archives ofAtnerican history, 8:.
are engraven in iutlelible traces on‘ the hearts
ofthe whole American people.

Accept, then, Sir, in the sincere spirit in
which it is of’f'et'ed, this simple tribute to your
virtues. Again, Sir, the citifl.-ens of Boston
bid you welcome to the cradle of American
Independence,and to scenes consecrated with
the blood shed by the earliest martyrs in its
cause.”

The following is Gen.La Fayette’s answer
to the address ofthe Mayor: _

“To the Mayor and People of Boston-—
The emotions oflove anti gratitude which I
have been accustomed to feel on entering this
city, have ever mingled with :1 sense of reli-
gious reverence for the cradle of ..\mericau,
and let ushope it will be llel‘8itti7§-’-ti‘ ittitl, of u-
niversal, liberty. ._

\Vhat must be, Sir, my feelings..at the bles-
sed moment, wheu, after so long an absence,
I find myself again surrounded by the good
citizens of Boston, where I am so afl"ection-
ately and so honorably welcomed, not only
by old friends, but by several successive gene-
rations—where I can witness the prosperity,
the immense improvements that have been
the just reward ofa noble struggle, virtuous
morals, and truly republican institutions.

I beg of you Mr. Mayor, Getttlctn-on of the
City Council, and all of you, beloved citizens
of Boston, to accept the wartn thanks of a
heart which has for nearly halfa century been
devoted to your illustrious city.”

The Procession was then formctl, entered
the city, and proceeded through VVashington,

 

 

Milk, Broad, State, Court, and Common sts.‘

The General and the City Authorities pas-
sed through the Comtuon,on which were pla-
ced, extending the whole length ofit, in two
lines, the Pupils of the Public Schools, the
misses principally dressed in white, and the
lads in blue coats and white under-clothes,
each bearing a Portrait of Fayette on their
breasts, stamped on ribbons. They exceed-
ed twen—t_t/-five hundred in number. On pas-
sing the line a beautiful little girl, about six
years old, stepped forth, and begged leave to
address the General. She wasltandcd to the
Mayor, and by bitu to the General, who salu-
ted her. She thcn delivered a short address,
took a wreath of flowers frotn her heatl, and
put it on-.,his head. The General made her
a very affectionate reply, 8L placed the wreath
in his carriage. ,

The Procession was nnusually long--The
streets, avenues, houses to the roofs, balconies,
temporary stages, fences, and trees, were fil-
led with expecting eyes, and cheerful looks ;
and the General’s carriage scarcely moved a
rod without loud cheering frotn the citizens,
and the continual waving of the white hand-
kcrchiefs of our fair countywomen, at the
Windows and balconies. The bells rang trier-
ry peals, and salutes were tired in various di-
rections. It was calculated that the specta-
tors exceeded 70,000. Numerous interesting
recollectious occttrred. The route ofthe pro-
cession was nearly two miles.

At 4 o’clock the General, in company with
a very large party, partook of an excellentdiu-
ner at the Exchange Coffee House.

The General gave the following Toast, at
the public dinner :—“ The City of Boston,tlte
cradle of Liberty,—May Fanneil Hall ever
stand a tnonutnent to teach the world that re-
sistance to aggression is a duty ; and will, un-
der republican institutio'us,become a blessing.”

On Wednesday morning the General left
Boston for Cambridge,where he was welcom-
ed by the citizens and handsomely addressed
by Judge Fay. The children were all para-
ded to receive him. The President Ol the
University received him at theColleges in fine
style. A spectator says—-‘I never before saw
such an assemblage of venerable looking per-
sons as were present on this occasion. It ap-
peared like a congregation of reverend fa-
thers, of all the silver locks in our country,
gathered here to give welcome, in behalfof
the nation, to hitn who claims the natton’s
gratitude.’ The Marquis attended the com-
mencement exercises, and received many
compliments from the orators of the day.

He would leave Boston about the 1st Sept.
for Hartford ; thence to Albany, and so down

the river to New—York.

Itis with great regret. we learn from the
Washington papers, that the venerable John
Taylor, ofCaroline, a Senator in Congress,
frotn Virginia, is no more. His death ap-
pears to have been sudden-—two days previous
thereto, he is represented to have been in his
usual health. ”

Itis said that Capt.'Pattridge contemplates
removing his Military A‘ca‘demy inthe course
ofnext year, from Norwich Vt. to Middle-
town, Connecticut. "C

Enzigralion to Ha.yti.—-Sixty adult negroes
and sortie children have just embarked on

I"org‘ery .’—-Some vile and contemptible
person has forwarded to the editors of the
Boston Patriot and Essex Register, commu-
nications, purporting to contain the proceed-
ings ofthc'North-Yarmouth Convention ; but
which are not genine. In these communes-
tions the names of respectable individuals are
associated with those ofignorant negroes, of
the lowest grade, as Senators and Electors.‘-
We blush for the honor of our town, that so
base a wretch lives within its limits. Meas-
ures have been adopted to discover the author
ofthis imposition. If the Crawford cause is
to be supported by a resort to such tricks, it is
high time that the fact should be known.

ofthe ship. After placing the chains under
her and moving her from her bed, she broke
in two frotn the keel up through the quarter
deck,aud the fore part of the ship slipped from
