TUESDAY, JULY 19,1825.

The Weat.'m7~.—-For ten days past the
"weather has been tnost oppressively ltot not
ouiy in this vicinity, but th'ro’out the country
asfar as we have yet received accounts. In
Boston attd Salem, on Monday, 11th inst. tlte
"thermorueter ranged from 95 to 100“, and to
near the samle-height for three or four of the
'subsequent days. The deaths at Boston from
‘exposureto the heatand the imprudent drink-
._in’g’ot’col1l water‘, are estituated at about 30.
Twenty one persons, principally Irish people,
were buried on Wednesday forenoon, who
izzarue to their death from these causes. Sev-

‘ leral stage horses on the Providence and other

'm‘utes tvere killed. Most of the workmen
employed in building were cotnpelled to quit
ltlieir work; and at the Mayor’s request the
master builders have agreed to abstain from

’ labor during the contiuuanceofthe hot weatl1-

"er from lQo’clock,noon, to 5 in the afternoon.

At Providence on Monday the thermometer
ranged from 95 to 106° iii the shade, and 5
persons died in consequence of drinking cold
water. At Albany the thermometer was at
97,1 and on the summit Qf'Catslrill mountain
at 93. At New York the thertnotneter for
several days was between 95 and 100, and
"many persons died ofthe heat. On VVednes-
daylf/tirty-n'ine interrttentstook place in the
yard of St. Patrick’s Catltedral, but these
deatlts were not all occasioned by cold water.
Some it is said were killed in an at"t'ray, and
sotue drank too much rutn. At Philadel-
phia the tnurcttry rose to 97 on Monday, and
at Newark to 98".

 

A dattghter of Mr. Frederick Lockwood, of
Greenwich, about 7 years of age, was drown-
ed on Monday, 11th inst. under the Bridge at
_CoscobUpper Landing. We understand the
child was on its way to school, and in crossing
the Bridge fell through a hole tnade by the
accidental removal ofa plank, and was not
discovered until life had become extinct.

At Wilton, the 4th of July was celebrated
with religious services in the Congregational
Church. Au able and appropriate discourse
was delivered by the Rev. Mr. SAUNDERS, of
Soutlt-Salem, and a contribution takett up in
bid ofthe Funds of the American Coloniza-
tion Society.-—Comm1tnicaled. .

An address was delivered in the Park-st.
_Church, Boston, on the 4th inst. by Mr. John
Todd, of the Andover Theological Seminary,
‘on the subject of Slavery, at the close of
which a collection of 3131 was taken up to
aid the American Colonization Society.

The following is from the Pltiladelphia
Colombian Observer, a Jackson paper. That
the editor is " beside himself” cannot possibly
be doubted by any rational being ; and ifDr.
Coleman has in his breast any ofthe milk of
human kindness, he will forthwith send him
a dose of s/rull-mp ;——if this tails of restoring
him to his senses, hope for him is at an end.

""'The expressions of public sentiment in
this quarter touching the usurpation ol‘.r2dmns
and the corruption and veuality of Clay, has
so far been ofa character as to do honour to
American virtue, and vindicate Democracy
from any suspicion ofthe opprobriutn of par-
taking or approving oftlte barter and sale of
it we. To see the President oft/te U. Slates,
omitted from all the Toasts on such an occa-
sion, speaks voltttnes against the “ deep darn-
nation ofthe deed,” which has placed him‘ in
power. This eccpressive silen‘ce,tltis voiceless
denunciation is a hundred fold more awful,
and appalling to the guilty,than written totues
ofsermottisitig on the subject.—-VVe hope af-
ter this 'mt.preccde'ntta.' mark ofcontempt, ha-
tred, and indignation. that we shall ltear no-
thing more of his p0]7ularity‘.”

Commodore Porter’s Trial.-—On the 7th
inst. the Court Martial for the trial of Com.
3-Porter, commenced its sittings at the Navy-
Yard at Vrlasltingtou, all the_tnembers being
present. Com. Porter, on being asked if he
had any objections to make against any ofthe
members of the court, sttbmitted a paper ob-
jecting to the Judge Advocate, Mr. Coxe, on
the ground that his appointment was illegal,
and that he was still further disqualified, in
conseqttence of his ha v_ing expressed an opit1-
ion ou the subject. The Cottrt was cleared,
the subject considered, and after the opinion
of Mr. Coxe had been obtained, it was deci-
ded that the accttsed had no power to chal-
lenge the Judge Advocate. The usual oaths
were then administered, after which the char
yes and specifications were read. The first
charge is Disobedience of Orders, and Con-
duct iinbecotning an officer ; and the specifi-
cation alleges that Captain Porter, in viola-
ting the territory of his Catholic Majesty, by
landing troops in a hostile manner, and by
committing divers acts of hostility there, act-
ed in‘ contravention of the Constitution ofthe
United States, and of the Laws ofNatious, as
well as in opposition to his instructions.

The second charge is—lnsub0rdinr1te Con-
duct, and conduct unbecoming an Officer ;~—
and the various Specifications embraced in
this Charge, allege that he has written and
sent letters ofa disrespectful character to the
President ofthe United States and to the sec-
retary oftlte Navy, by which he has violated
'the respect due frotn officers to the Head of
the Department attd has deranged the disci-
pline ofthe Navy; that he has published a
pamphlet ofthe proceedings,hel'ore such pub-
lication was aptborised by the Executive; ltas
‘given to the world partial and incorrectstate-
tuents ofthe proceedings; and ltas also pub-
’lished official communications to the govern-
ment, and correspondence ofau officialchar-
at-ter, and orders and instructions which he
has re‘c’d frotn the Department. ' ,

VVhen these charges and specifications hatl
been read, and Captain Porter was required
‘to plead ‘ Guilty,’ or ‘ Not Guilty,’ be asked
leave to postponehispleadingtill the next day,
to be allowed to be heard by Counsel,tohavea
clerk to take utiuutes ofthe evidence, and to
be l‘urnislte'rl with a copy of the charges and
specifications. The court acceded to these
requests‘. and captain Porter having natned
Vlhtlter Jones, Esq. for his counsel, the Court
adjourned till ten o’clock Friday rnoroing.

On Friday the courttnet pursuant to ad-
jottrument, and proceeded to examine testi-
tnony. Capt. Alexander J. Dallas, comman-
der of the John Adatns, Capt. Pottcr’s Flag-
ship, was first called. 1 Tltc evidence given

 

by hi‘t'u was very similar to that ‘given before
the Court ofInquiry, and no ways unfavora-
ble to the cause of Capt.Porter., Lieut. Platt
was next called, and gave the same testimony
that he gave before the Court of _Inqutry.—
Before he had finished the court adjourned.-—
On Saturday, upon the opening ofthe court,
Capt. Elliott, one of the ,tuem'oers, ‘was excu-
sed frotu serving. LL. Platt proceeded with
his testimony, after the hearing of which the
court adjourned to Monday. Lieut. P’s tes-
timony is given at length in the Nat. Journal,
and is decidedly favorable to Capt. Porter.—-
On Monday, another member of the court,
capt. Wadsworth, was excused from attend-
ance on account of indispositiott. A few more
questions were put to Lt. Platt, and answ'er'e'd
by him, after which the court was closed in
order that a proposition which one of the
members desired to make sltottld be consider-
ed ; anrl on the re-opening of the doors,,the
Judge Advocate read a decision by which the
furtlter taking of notes for the purpose of pub-
lication in the newspapers, was prohibited.-
The reason assigned for this prohibition was,
that the publication of the proceedings of
Court Martials, during tl.eir progress, was
without precedent; and that it was considered
improper because it enabled the witnesses to
make themselves acquainted with the testimo-
ny ofthuse who had preceded them; while,
by a rule ofthe Court, the witnesses to be ex-
amined were uniformly excluded during the
reading ofthe testimony which had been pre-
viously taken. In consequence of this decis-
ion the gentleman employed to take notes for
publication in the National Journal was pre-
vented frotu continuing ltis reports, anti those
therefore whose misfortune it is to reside
out of the limits ofthe " ten miles square,” are
to know nothing further of this interesting
case, tmtil such time as shall suit the conven-
ience oftlte court, or ofthe head of the Navy
Departtnent, unless indeed, capt. Porter shall
avail himselfof the notes of his clerk, and
publish another patnphlet for the sake of be-
ing again court-tnartialled .’ ! This decision
of the Court has drawn the following remarks
from the editor of the National Journal :—

“ Upon the propriety or impropriety of the
determination, it is not for us to pronounce.
We saw that efforts had been made, which
had,i11some degree proved successful, to mis«
lead public opinion, in relation to the Court
of Inquiry recently held in this city : and we
had reason to believe that similar attempts
would be made to continue the deception in
the present case. Our object was topreveot
this by putting the people in possession oftlte
entire examination-—all the evidence and the
facts, as early as possible. The people had
been appealed to, and we were desirous they
should read, understand, and judge for them-
selves. VVe were unwilling any thing should
be withheld from them. We believed that
public business, trattsacted in public, might
without violation of law be communicated to
the ppblic. \Ve thought it as proper the peo-
ple ofthe United States should know it, as the
iuhabitattts ofthis city.

“ The decision ofthe Court may be a cor-
rect oue, for aught we know, bttt it appears to
us, that upon examination it will be thought
an extraordinary one. The intention ofthe
order is to prevent one witness frotn knowing
what evidence another gives to the Court.-
How willthis be prevented? The order of
the Court cannot prevent it. The witnesses
to be examined are not confined while others
are undergoing an examination: ifthey have
not access to the Court, all who are in the
Court have access to them, and they are as
regularly and fully informed ofall that tran-
spires as iftltey were present. \Vhere, then,
is the difference between their reading the
evidence in a newspaper, and hearing it corn-
mttnicated to them by the witness wltogives
it, or another who hears it? VVe kttow of
none. We think, tlterefore,it would have been
as well, ifthe Court had permitted us to pro-
ceed.”

On-Tuesday the examination of‘ witnesses
was concluded, and the Court adjourned at
an ‘early hour to give the Judge Advocate an
opportunity to collect and arrange the evi-
dence relating to the 1st charge against Com-
modore, Porter.

On Wednesday the Judge Advocate laid
before the Court the report ofthe proceedings
at Foxardo, matle by Comto. Porter to the
Sec’ry ‘ofthe Navy, dated Nov. 15, IBQ4; the
report made by Lt. Platt to Comm. Porter of
the cause of his visit to Foxardo and the cir-
cumstances attending it; a letter fr. Messrs.
Bergeest 8:. Uhlhorn,of St.Thomas,to Comm.
Porter, giving a_n account of the robberies
cotntuitted on that Island ; a letter frotn the
Set-’ry ofthe Navy to Cottnu. Porter, recall-
ing him for the purpose of explaining his
conduct ; and a copy of the General Orders
given to Cotntn. Potter‘ on his taking com-
mand ofthe W.I. station.-—~—These theJudge
Arlvocatestated completed the evidence he in-
tended to otferiu support ofthe first charge.

Com. I’orter’s counsel then subtnitted to
the court objections to the second charge and
specifications. These objections stated that
the charge and specifications were vague and
indefinite ; that they allege matters which
were not the proper subjects ofmilitary accu-
sation, and describe no offence within the na-
val articles ot war, or in any manner cogniza-
ble by a court martial. Hg requested that
the Judge Advocate be instructed to answer
tltesc objections ; but the Court decided that
the arguments by which they were supported
should be submitted in writing. The Court
tlten adjourned. On Thursday Comm. Por-
ter’s counsel being unwell the court adj. till
next morning. On Friday Mr. Jones read
his argument, which was very elaborate and
ingenious, after hearing which the Courtad-
journerl to Saturday. '

It is said that when the trial ofCom.Porter
is closed,the court will continue its sittings, to
proceed with the trials of Capt.Stewart,Com-
tnandant Carter, and Lt. Hunter.

Coronation of the King of France.-—No-
thing ever disgusted us tnore than the account
of the fooleries which took place at Rhettns
on the 29th May,on the occasion ofputting a
bauble upon the head of the French king.-
The sketch ofthese proceedings would occupy
near 4 columns of our paper, our readers
therefore must content themselves ' with a
tnere outline of them. The first item, (and
it is a very ittrportaut one) is,that the Dauphi-
ness wore a oirtess of gold ground, embroider-
ed with silver, and a diadetn ofdiatuonds,aud
the Dutchess ofBerri’s kgir was dressed with
roses mixed with diamonds ! After the Arch-
bishops, the Bishops, the Clergy, the Dukes,

ll~:c.‘&.c. who were appointed to figure in this

s‘ , '- ' I . - « :~ L,
farce, had conducted his majest.y to the La-

and the Archbisliop 'ofRl1eitn‘s said anotherf:
he was then led to a seat. He wore asilver
robe, a black velvet cap on which was ":1 dia-
‘mondicross, silk pantaloons, and silver_ bind-
ing ‘on his shoes ! ! ‘. All the attendants hav_-
ing taken, their seats the Archbishop present-
ed the holy water to lus Majesty, attd after
some furtlter ceremonies, the prelate seated
himself, when the king, kneeling before hitn,
repeated the following Oallt :— A

“ I promise, in the presence of God, and
my people, to support and honour cur holy_ re-
ligion, as is the duty of every Christian King,
and the oldest son ')fthe_Church ; to do jus-
tice aud right to my subjects, and to govern
according to the laws of the kingdom, and
the Constitutional Charter—which I swear
faithfully to observe. So help me God, and
his,H’0ly Word.”

The Kingthen rose, and afterwards took
the oaths as Grand Master ofthe Orders of
the Holy Ghost (by which he swears to live

- and die in the faith of the Roman Catholic

Chnrch‘,)of St. Louis st. the Legion of Honor.
His Majesty was then conducted to the al-

tar, where he took off his cap and robe, and

aided by the Grand Chamberlain, pttt on his

boots, which were of violet colored velvet,em-

broidered in gold. The Dauphin then ap-

proached and put on the king’s golden spurs.

The Archbishop next consecrated the sword

ofCharlemagne, and girt it around the king,

bttt taking it immediately off, he drew it frotn

its sheath, and presented it drawn to his ma-

jesty. During all this ceremony he was say-

ing his prayers. At the conclusion of the

prayer the king kissed the sword and laid it

on the altar, and was thencontlutzted to his

seat. About a dozen litanies and prayers

were then said, after which the Archbishop

took,uoon the point ofa goldenr1eedle,a por-

tion of Holy Atnpulla, which he tnixed with

the Holy Unction. His majesty’s vest, shirt,

8Lc. was now opetted,and the Archbishop tak-

ing sotne ofthe HolyUnctton upon ltisthumb,

annointed the top of the king’s head, his

breast, his back, his right and left shoulders,

and his rigltt and left elbows. His majesty

was then dressed ; and a pair of gloves being

brought in a silver dish, were consecrated and

pttt on his hands. The delivery ofa ring,thc
sceptre, and hand of justice next took place
with the same ceremonies, after which the
crown was put upon his head by the Archbish-
op assisted by the Priuces. His Majesty was
then conducted to the throne, when the Arch-
bishop took offhis tnitre, madea low bow to
the king, kissed his forehead, and said thrice,
Vivat R21: in tzlernum ; and the Dauphin and

other princes took off their coronets. and did

and said the same. At this tnoment a flour-

ish of trumpets was heard, the people entered

the church, the Heralds at Arms distributed

Medals, a thousand birds were let fly, the
bells burst forth into a merry peal, and three

salutes of musketry fired by the Infantry were

answered by the artillery upon the ratnpa rts.
Te Dctllns, High and Low Masses, and the
reading ofthe Gospel followed. The Gospel

passed to the king through about a dozen dif-
ferent hands, and Iltose who presented it to
bitn, bowed once upon retiring, a second time
in the midst of the steps, and a third time at

the bottom! I The coronation oll'erings,con-
sisting of wine, a loafofsilver, a loafof gold,
and a dish of medals next took place, and af-
ter 'th"e'se and some other ceremonies were en-
ded the king took offhis crown, sceptre, lS*.c.
performed ablution, received absolution from
the Archbishop, and partook ‘of;-the commun-
ion in both kinds. "'I‘IB'l‘llBtif'l‘gHlt'ne(I to his
éipartntents, ttri‘dr'essed‘ii1 p‘ar't,”aii‘¢l"tlie gloves
and shirt which had touched the hol ttnction
were delivered to the Grand Alnyflier to be
burnt. All the cerentouics ofthé coronation
being ended, the king, bishops, lords, btc. &.c.
to the uutnber of 600 sat down to a dinner of
I50 covers. Each course was brought to the
table with ceremonies,attended by the Herald
at Arms. To close the transactions of the
day, the king granted pardon to a great nt1tn-
ber of persons under sentence for political
offences.

It is said the Pope had no hand in this cer-
emony, as he had in the Coronation of Bona-
parte ; and it is ruentiottedas worthy of a pas-
sing retnark, that the five most conspicuous
characters who figured at the coronation were

. the Ex-Buonapartists, Talleyraud, Jourdan,

Soult, Moncey, and Oudiuot.

After our readers have read the foregoing
let them turn to the account of the Inaugura-
tion ofa President of the United States, and
theuasay wltether they have not abundant
reason to rejoice that their lot is cast in a land
where no such vain parade,and worldly potnp
and splendor is witnessed,and where, accord-
ing to the genius of our government as well
as ofthe people, it cannot be tolerated.

At the last session of our Legislature a bill
was passed incorporating the Thames Bank,
to be located at Norwich. The stock has since
been subscribed and distributed by the com-
missioners, bttt in such a manner that a writer
in the New London Gazette says a retnon-
strance against their proceedings will be laid
before the next legislature, signed by every
honest citizen. It seems the cotntn-issioners
helped themselves and a few of their friends
to the stock in rather too liberal a tnanner.

Natltan Smith, Estj.—haslbeen chosen Pres-
ident ofthe Mechanics Bank, at New Haven,
and John J. Barnard, Esq. Cashier.

The semi-annual dividend upon the stock
in the bank ofthe U. States, for the half year
just ended, has been fixed at two and three
fourlhspcr cent.—-a nd, it is said, that after the
payment of this dividend, there will still be
left a surplus profit bf about $500,000.

On the 5th inst. the members of the N. Y.
Senate, then sitting in N. York as a Court of
Errors, visited the Navy Yard on invitation
of Com. Chauncey, and were received with a
salute of seventeen guns.

.d queer place for a Fire.—During one of
the hottest days of last week an Ice house in
Philadelphia, well filled with ice, caught fire
by some means, and was totally consumed.-
A week previous 21 marble—yard was destroyed
by fire in the saute city.

,The President oftlte U. States entered up-
on the 59th year ofhis age on Monday last.
Fifteen colored persons, men, women and

favorable specimen ofarts yet in their infancy
among that rude people. Cotton, of the
quality of which this shawl is tnauufactured,
is said to grow in abundance over a tract of
country extending over 40 degrees oflatitude,
and 60 or 70 of longitude, inhabited by many
millions of naked human beings.
