have heard of a political eruption which has
recently taken place. Venezuela has declar-
ed herself independent of the General Gov-

‘From Rio Janeiro.-— By an arrival at Balti-
more. advices are received from Rio Janeiro
to tzze 10th ofApri|.—'I‘lie Emperor had re-
turned from Bahia. Letters from Montevid-
eo to the 511st of March. had been received,
which stated that the Brazilian blockading
squadron, consisting of 63 vessels on the sta-
‘.tion,were unable to maintain command ofthe
siver in the vicinity of Buenos Ayres.
Mr. Evans, who has recently returned from
Greece, and who, we believe, has been fre-
quently mentioned in the letters of Mr.Miller,
has written several numbers on the situation
of that country, and the character of the
Greeks. W'e find in the Salem Gazette of
the 20th tilt. the following summary notice of
the contents of the fourth number.
Views qf Greece.-Mr. Evans’ fourth ntim-
ber has appeared, and according to our ori-
ginal plan we proceed to notice the contents.
Hebegius by recapitulating his description of
the personal appearance of the Greeks, and
he thinks that description will apply to those.-
he did not, as well as to those he did see.—-
They are a mighty people, he says; strong.
agile, and directed by strong and ardent pas-
sions. but at present calculated only forprcdw
torg warl'are——they are all soldiers; thirstiug
for plunder; cast by nature in a favorite mold;
disposed either to great virtues or great vices;
the great mass of them immoral ; fraud, false-
hood, and treachery abound atiiong them ;-—-
plunder is their occupation; they pirate on
the sea; pillage their oivn villagers on land;
are hospitable and warm in their attaclituents;
an affectionate people. but their love of mori-
ey is great; for that they will embrace an en-
emy, or plunge a dagger in the bosom. of a
friend; they «lo not want bone and muscle ;-
Elli-‘y do not want knowledge, for their genius
more than supplies it. Such isMr. Evan's
description ofthe Greeks, and such is the pur-
port oflris fourth numb.er.
It cannot be forgotten that several Ameri-
can fishing vessels were illegally captured two
years since by British cruisers, which render-
ed it necessary to send an armed vessel to
protect that branch of our coniuierce. This
year they are again unprotected, and depre-
dations have already been committed by the
Dotterel, of noted inemorv, as will be seen by
the folloiviiig extract. The Eastport Senti-
nel oftlie 20th ult. states, that “the schooner
Hammond of Tutlierly, Portsmouth, N. H.
with about 120 quintals of fish on board, was
captured on the l5th ult. on Sandy Grove
fishing ground, which is about two leagues fr.
the shore, by a boat belonging to the British
brig of war Dotterel. Two other vessels, the
Mary and Favorite, of Portsmouth, were in
company but made their escape, as did also
the schr. Lark, Captain Hilliard, from whom
was obtained the above information. Capt.
H. states that several shot were fired at him
and. came very-neor killiiigone or two ofliis
gress-—-extracted from the Nat. Journal.
It is well knoivn to all who are conversant
with legislative Iristory, that the first four
weeks of the session are usually occupied in
the maturing, in Conitnittees, of measures
which are to be subsequently acted on in the
two Houses; In this incipient stage of the
session, the Judicial Bill, the bill for the relief
of the surviving ofiicers of the revoliitionary
army, the bill for the preservation and civili
zation of the Indian tribes, the amendments.
proposed in the Constitution ofthe U. States.
the Bankrupt Bill, and: other bills of great
general and local interest, were digested and
prepared. The bills we have specified, with
the s' ject. ofthe mission to Panama, consti-
tute. the important business of the sessioii.——
Let us see with what efficacy legislative action
has been brought to bear upon them. On the
4th of January, the discussion on the Judicial
bill couimlanced, and on the 26th it passed the
House, occupying, with the time consumed
in (liscussing the amendment of the Senate,
aboutjive weeks of the attention ofthe house.
. This bill was succeeded b_v the discussion of
the propositions of Mr. M’Dufiie to amend
the Constitution, which consumed the next
seven weeks of the session. The discussion
of the amendment to the report of the coin-
mittee or) foreign relations relative to the
mission to Panama followed in its order, and
to this debate four weeks were devoted.
When this question was decided, the claims
ofthe revolutionary officers were brought be-
fore a House irritated by previous collisions
ofopinion, fatigued with discussion, and in-
disposed to act harmoniously on any subject:
they were disposed of in about two weeks ;-
and a resolution having passed, fixing on the
22d of May for the adjournment of Congress,
the House had only two weeks left to act oti
all the variety ofbusiuess which had been ex-
cluded by the all-monopolizing measures
which we have specified.
It thus appears that five weeks were spent
in discussing the Judicial Bill in the House of
Representatives, which bill was afterwards
iizdtg/iiiitely postponed :—seven weeks were
(leV0!cd to the debate on the Constitutional
amendments, from the further consideration
of which the Select Committee was ultimately
discharged without comtng to any result :—
four weeks were occupied in disputation on
ilie restrictive amendment of the resolutions
of the Committee on Foreign Affairs relative
to the mission to Panama, which was finally
rejected, and the appropriation bill passed
without reference to any resolutions :-—two
weeks were allowed to the claims ofthe rev
oliitionary ofiice-‘s, which were laid on the la-
blc :—so that eighteen weeks out ofthe twenty-
four weeks, co~:»prising the session, have been
nionopolized in the discussion of questions
which have produced no efficient result ; or
in other words, in abortive legislation.
With reference to the prticeedlngs‘ in the
Senate, a few remarks will suffice. During
the early part of the session, it was the prac-
tice of that body to sit only four days in the
iveek. Tliefirst public. measure ufimportaiice
on which it acted,was that which arose out of
the nouiination of niinisiers to Panama, by
the President ofthe United States. Here,as
on the satire question in the H. of Representa-
tives, the Opposition took its stand. From
this chosen position, by mtitiial understand-
ing, a concerted and combined movement was
to be made against the administration. To
give effect to this extraordinary combination,
the Senate spent five or six weeks, with closed
doors, in angry and stormy criniiuation on
the one part, and firm and manly defence on
the other. The nominations were ultimately
coiifiruietl. Of all the other acts ofthe Sen-
ate. but little can be said. The Bankrupt bill
was laid on the table. A party in the Senator
appeared to be intent upon laying the terrible
ghost which seems to have hauiited_ that body‘
all through the session, called Executive Pat-
ronagc. This dreadful phantom has proved
as fatal to the wisdom ofthe Senate, as to its
dignity. M r. Branch resolved it to be a mori-
strous, horrible sprite-
“ Cui lumen ademptuni.”
Mr. Randolph, to prove Mr. Branch was
correct, talked incessantly for some three
or four weeks, to show that all the great men
ivhoiii the country had heretofore delighted to
honor were selfish and designing knaves ;
that there had been no honest men in times
past but the old gentleman who brought him
up, standing "in loco parentees :” that the
only man fit to be the next President is Gen.
Jackson ; and that he would not vote for him,
ifiiis party did not curb Executive patronage
and defeat the Bankrupt liill. M r. Bent-"in, to
test the feeling ofthe Senate, made a report
to show that this patronage is ofthe most ter-
rific character, and brought in six bills (we
believe there are six oftlieni) to take away all
Executive influence in the Post Office, the
Army, the piiblicatiou ofthe Laivs, $Lc.—
These bills will be fertile subjects for denun-
ciatton, declaniation, and invective,durin2 the
next session, sltould they ever be called up
The amendment made by the Senate in the
Judicial Bill, was fatal to that measure. The
course which that body took in the first in-
stance, by adhering to its amendment, and re-
fusing the request ofthe other house fora
conference, was considered by them disre-
spectful, and had no small influence in deci-
ding the fate of the bill.
The other measures which were before the
Senate, werewofa subordinate character ; and
an immense in-ass ofbillsislost in consequence
ofthe extraordinary length to which the niauia
of speecli-making has been carried, and the
iiidisposition to act in concert which has been
produced by the new character of the general
proceedings oftliat body.
When it becomes necessary to introduce,
for the first time in forty years, resolutions for
the purpose ofliiniting the liceiitious range of
discussion in a body heretofore remarkable for
dignity and decorum ; of protecting its own
members from personal insult from each oth-
er ; ofthrowing a shield between a senatorial
slanderer &I. the members of the other branch
ofthe Legislature ; and of protecting the cit-
izen who avails himself of his privilege to
witness the proceedings of the Senate, from
direct abuse ;-—-we say, when it becomes ne-
cessary to erect these fences to preserve social
happiness and the courtesies of life, from vio-
l.ition,as it appears to have become in the
Senate ofthe United States, every thinking
man will concur with us in opinion, that this
body has changed its character for the worse;
and whether this be owing to the change in its
Chair, or to the change in its members, it is
men. He supposes that several othel; vessels
weretatten at the ti;iiie_¢-
equally mischievous to its fame, equally to be
Revieiv of the proceedings‘ of the late Con-“
regretted by all Wl10"V.al,ll8 the reputation of
our country.
Some weeks before the conclusion of the-
session, it will be remembered that a commit-
ice was appointed to select the most Important
measures fr. the mass of public business, ,‘Vl‘i-‘
zrview that these should be acted on bytliel .
before any ofthe other business was called up.
Independent of reports of committees which
were made the order of the day, that Coium.
made out a list of-about 177 bills, which were
to have priority. Ofthese [77 bills, about 60
are left untouched : exclusive of which, we
believe there are about 9.0 bills fr. the Senate.
The Committee recommended that all_.llle
business in the 4 first classes should be “ dis-
posed of this session.” About forty bills in
these classes remain uuacted on. It is trite
these bills have priority in the orders oftlie
day for the next session, but, as that session
has a constitutional limit, and as all the great
measures of this session will,ifacterJ on at all,
be taken up at the next session, de novo, and
discussed over again, there is but little chance
that the application and good inanageiiicnt of
the second session ofthis Congress can re-
deem the indispositioii to business uid unskil-
ful nianagemcnt exhibited in the first.

COLONIZATION SOCIETY.
The Managers of the American Coloniza-
tion Society are now, through the good Pro-
vidence of God, justified in addressing the
public, not with the diffidence ofinere expert
mentalists, but with the confidence ofsuccess-
ful laborers, in a catise unspeakably interest-
ing to our own country, and fraught with im-
Vperishable blessings for another. They an-
nounce with satisfaction,equalled only by their
gratitude, that the colony at Liberia exhibits
an importance and promise exceeding the
predictions of its most enthusiastic friends ;-
that it opens before every free man of color a
field for honourable enterprise, for political
privileges, and for social enjoyment; that it
offers to the American statesman the only
method perhaps of securing permanent pros-
perity to our country ; and to the cliristian,ol'
imparting to the population of Africa his per-
fect and sublime religion. linpelled by a
deep sense of duty. and animated by the en-
couiagenieiit of Heaven, the Board beg leave
to invite their connrrynieii universally to the
energetic prosecution ofthis inagna‘i'rimous
work. It merits, tiiey believe, the approba-
tion of all, and demands the pati'ona'_,e oftlic
nation. Such is now the extent of the opera-
tions oftliis society, and such the niagnituds
of its interests, the same annual aniotiiit of
funds heretofore received, will in future prove
inadequate to the management of the one, or
the security ofthe other. Bin as the practic-
ableness ofits plans has been tleiuonstrated,as
their utility appears certain, as their necessity
is daily beconniig more iinpcrious, the Board
trust that hesitation will yield to confidence,
and languid approvers come forth to aid the
cause with resolute purposes and generous
hearts. Nor can the Managers doubt that
when age shall coritrroute its CUlll5.\Pl, &*.youth
its vigour; when ieiimle beiievoleiice shall be
excited, and the iropressive tlr'V0tlUllS and el-
oquence of the minority he enlisted for its aid
an illustrious triumph will aiteiid this cause-
a triumph honorable to our citizens, feiiciious
to Africa, and glorious to God. To accom-
plish such a union of sentiment and action,
the Board appeal to the Churches in the U.
States, and most respectfully, yet earnestly
invite their cooperation. May they be al-
loived to suggest to the ministers and rulers
of these Uliurcties, that no possible measure
occurs to them, as more desirable, than a reli-
gious celebrationof the ?IfllllVt’.t‘S'tll‘y of our in-
dependence, when the views and hopes oftliis
institution might niost approptiately bedis-
played before the American people, and their
donations be solicited to give tlieui fulfilment.
Should celebrations ofa different character
prevent, in iuaiiy places, such a religious ser--
vice, it might be performed perhaps, with no
less advantage, on the Sunday immediately
preceding or succeeding ihatday. From the
charities of this occasion, was a large propor-
tion of the funds of the society derived last
year, though the \VI]0le_;'¢llT)Ollll[ was inconsid-
erable, compared with that which cannot fail
to be realized by the unanimous adoption of
(tie measure. The Board appeal with confi-
dence to the Rev. Clergy. The several eccle-
siastical bodies will, they hope, make this plan
their own and send it forth to the Churches
under the seal of their unqualified approba-
tron.

The effects of the speculating mania which
prevailed about this time last year, are now
very sensibly felt in this city, in the prostra-
tion of productive industry. This time last
year, it was calculated that there were 4000
hand looms employed by the cotton weavers.
Now, it is said, there are not more than 1000
in use. We are informed that all the passen-
gers in the steerage of the Alexander. (for
Liverpool) were weavers. Others ofthe craft
have gone to the Canals, and dispersed them-
selves through the country in search of em-
ployineiit.
There are great complaints about Rich-
mond, Virginia, ofthe prevailing drought, by
which many ofthe wells have been dried up,
and the mills stopped. The forests are over-
rtrn by locusts, and there is scarcely a tree the
foliage of ivhicli has not been entirely destroy-
ed by these destructive insects. They have
not yet attacked the fields, but, from their in-
creasing nuuibers, such an event is dreaded
At this §tiiue the locusts are depositing their
eggs, which are wliite,in rows, under the bark.
The place may be discovered by a longitudi-
nal slit in the bark.
A great number oflrorses have recently di-
ed in Shelby county, Tenn. One gentleman,
states that he had lost four horses in the course
of the day, and forty had died within 2 niiles
of him during the last 24 hours. It is sup-
posed that this destructionis caused by asmall
fly called the Buffalo Gnat, which gets into
the nostrils, ears, and sheath ofthe liorse,pro-
ducing an inflammation, which is generally
and rapidly fatal.

‘t‘UE"5J)tY. JUNE 6, I826.
The Legislature adjourned on Friday la,»-
ifter a session of 30 days, during which tit. 3
they have passed about 30 public acts, noise
of which, however, are of any peculiar liu
portance, although perhaps as much so as u-
sual. The Districting and CountyCourt bills,
both of which have occupied the public mia d
in no iiicousiderable degree for some tin;
past, have gone over the daui together. an-
neither will probably be soon called up. St-‘\
eral other bills have also been lost, among the
most important of ivhich is the bill for increas-
ing the salaries of the Judges of our highest
Courts; the bill for the better regulation 0?
coiiiiiion schools; the bill for greater security
against bank failures, and the bill for the la
cation and erection of a new State Prison.
Among the appropriations made at thelaio;
session of Congress, is one of 84,000 for the
erection ofa Light Home near tilt‘. irioutli ol
Norwalk harbour. and of $1000 for a Beacon
at the mouth of thv Ousatonic river.
During the heavy thunder storui with wliicli
we were visited on Friday, a barn belonging
to Mr. Noyes Richards, ofDarien, was struck
with lightning, and burnt to the ground in a
very short iinie. Two or three buildings were
struck by the electric fluid in New York du-
ring the same storiu,and coiisideralilv injured.
Two ships, a brig, and several sloops lying at
the N. Y. wharves were also injured.
The rain which fell on that day was,the first
ofany consequence which had fallen for more
than five weeks, and although it is not in sea-
sonto prevent extensive injury to vegetation
of every kind, it will yet save many of the
crops ofthe farmer from that absolue destruc-
tioii with which they were threatened by the
long continued drought.
The Democratic Press states that before
the ship in which Mr. Randolph sailed for
England left the Capes, he cballeifged a fel-
l0W passenger, fl Quaker, to mortal combat.
but the captain interfered, and the pistols
were put away-. .
On the 27th tilt. about one hundred feet of
the pier composingthe Black Rock harbour
was carried away. Four cribs were removed,
two oftliem-to. their foundation. The head
of water was almost instantly reduced 2% in-
ches below the usual level; and acolumn of
water now rushes tliro’tlie aperture with fear-
ful violence, extending obliquely across the
Niagara for one fourth ofits width. It is tho’t
that an iiiucpeiident canal will now be found
inevitable.
Consolation.--—-In answer to an inquiry
made a short time since by the Democratic
Press, whether the Directors of the State
Bank at Trenton had ascertained the ability
of that institution to redeem its notes or any
part of them, the Trenton True American
declares that no money is in possession of the
Directors of that Bank, and that its whole
funds consist in charges in the books of the
institution, and over drafts, not one half the
nominal value of which will ever be paid, and
what. is received will probably be in notes of
the Bank itself. Those therefore, who owe
the Bank may make profitable payments,
while they who hold the notes without this
chance may continue to hold on.
We regret to learn that the Jewelry Store
of D. B. Nichols fsr. Co. was again robbed at
Savannah a short time since,to a large amount.
Mr. N. who resides in this place, received the
information on Monday evening. This is the
fourth time his store there has been exten-
sively robbed ; his whole stock in trade was
also destroyed by the great fire at Savannah
in the winter of l820.——Bria'geporl Farmer.
Death by Lightm'ng.—A Mr. Dunningtori,
ofRocketts, Virginia, who had taken refuge
under a tree from the rain, with his child in
his arms, was struck dead by lightning. The
child remained unhurt.
The Westchester Herald states that on Sun-
day morning last, a party (ofpleasure it is pre-
sumed of course) left New York for Motrin
Pleasant, in the. safety barge Matilda, escort-
ed by the steam boat. William Penn ;the pas-
sage was perforiiied without accident, but on
arriving at the wharfsufficieiit care was not
taken to secure the barge a safe mooring; and
the wiird blowing fresh, the barge rounded to,
dragged her anchor, and bronglit up against a
small pier, part of which gave way, and she
again swung off to the leeward, and brought
up on a sand bar. During this period, the
greatest confusion prevailed on board. Al-
ihougli within a few feet ofthe shore tlironged
with spectators, and little more than 3 feet
water, the horrors of shipwreck seized the la
dies. Cries, tears and exclainatioiis followed
in confused succession; but when the barge
grounded, the passengers were relieved from
their situation by a number of roiv boats. A
farmer drove in his wagon and rescued some
of them from the cabin windows. Several at
tempts were made to get off the barge, but
they were unsuccessful, and the steam boat
went away without her. So much for a Sub
bath Day e1*cur.~n'on.—Eagle.
