wliearcc she sailed on the 3th June, for the

General Paez left Caracas on the -1th June,

sembled in the year 1831, in order to review
the constitution, should assemble immediate-

will alter the. time for the trial ofthe constitu

time, remain in ftilf force. Besides the first

of war, and these people only ask peace when
they are prepared for war. Your excelleucy
may rest assured that this people are invinci-

than subject themselves to the policy bywlrich
they have been heretofore governed. Do not
believe that I say this through pride, nor with
a desire to irrtiniidate the resolutions or Con-

that they would pr-rrnit me with my blood, to

that one of the sturdy sons of tne west yesver

to pay Idol. 75 per barrel. He said his flour
was ofgoud quality, and as sweet as it ever
was—'I‘hat he started from Onto with it in

by a terrible hurricane, Whltill did much iujn

of it from a respectable citizen of that town,
who writes us that ‘the one half has not been
told.’

About 6 o’clock, P. M. the clouds in the_N.

and receding with great velocity, attended by
sharp lightning and heavy thunder. Soon at
tcr it began to rain in torrents,wluCh W35 530‘

and a quarter in diameter, during which the
wind blew most violently. After the storm
had continued about 15 minutes, the ‘Villa
shifted from a south east to a north west dl
rectlon, the cloud parted, and the storm in-
creased, lc-velling fences and trees. and ”““l"
ling buildings to the ground. The house In
which I lived, and another two rods distant,
and a barn six rods distant (all log huildlngssl
were instantly unroofed. Boards, shingles,
rafters, and even logs were hurled some rods
in dreadful confusion. The door of the house
in which I lived, burst in, the chamber floor
gave way, and haifme roof with three rafters
were thrown a great distance. A child SIX
months old was twice thrown off the bed. W0-
iueo were hurled across the room, yet out of
I23 persons in both houses, not one was mate-
rially hurt. The hail tell about three inches
deep, cutting leaves $1. tendrrls from the "868
giving an entire desolate aspect. Large fit‘-ldS
of grain were utterly despoiled, touch frultcul
off, and window glass in aburrdaricedaslred in
pieces. The awful glare-tlrat shone around
on the face ofthiugs when the wllirlwirrd pas-
sctl by,was so subliinely great as not to be de
scribed. It outshone the glory ofthe sun,and
filled the mind of belrolders with tlnullcrflltle

Fhe Indr'aizs.—It has long been a i

idea with many,rcspe'ctable persons tha
Indians of this country are descendants
the ten lost tribes, of Israel, and the following
extract from a speech lately delivered by a
Seminole Chrefto the Secretary of War, will
tend to confirm that belief.

“ Brother: You tell usthatour Great Fa-
ther vvisnes to place a school in our Nation, to
teach our children to read and write. \Ve
do not wish one at all. We do not believe the
Great Spirit intended this, he would have gi-
ven us the knowledge as early as he gave it
to the white people. Now it is tool-ate; the
white people have gained an advantage we
can never recover, and it is better for us to re-
main as we are, red men, and live in our own
way. Brother, among our people it is tho’t
that at the tirrre when there was but two kinds
ofpeople, the red and the white ori the earth,
a book was placed by the Great Spirit in the
fraud of an old man, blind, and with a long
beard, who told the red and white man that
he who killed the first deer should receive the
book as his reward, and be learnt to read it.
Both went out to hunt, different ways. The
white luau, alter going a little way,_found a
sheep, which being not so wild as the deer,
lie ez-..<lly killed. He took this sheep to the
hunt: man, and told him it was a deer. The
old man believed him,and gave him the book,
dl’t(l learnt him how to read it. The red man
soon after brought in a deer; but he was too
late-—the white man had got the book. If this
cheat had not been practised, the red man
would have been now as the white man is, &.
or: as the red man. Brother. if the Great
Spirit had intended that the red man should
knowhow to read, he would not have allowed
the wnrte man to take this advantage ofus.’:

Subsequent to this Talk, the Delegation
w as introduced to the President ofthe United
States, who received them with so much cor-
dralrty, and evinced such a desire to promote
their real interests, that the Chiefs, after this
interview, expressed tfiernselves in the wann-
est terms ofsatisf'action and confidence.

As this man has engaged much public curios
It)’: and his c:.sr- somewhat reinarktible, we
will give a I)‘~lCflllSI.0l'y of his career as near
as we éan recollect. Upwnrds of Qyears ago
.i prize to the Colombian privateer Centilla,
lying in the river, was robbed ofa quantity of
Ur} goods and other articles of value. The
District Court being in session at the time,
the grand jury found a bill ofrndicturent a-
gainst Scott and several others for piracy,but
they were not appreliended until after the
Court adj0urned—Scott, we believe, broke
j.ril and made his escape. A few weeks after
he came on board one of our packets at New
Orleans, under the promise of being lauded
somewhere :1‘ ng the coast. He was brought
to this city and nelivered again into custody of
tire lnal'5ll‘-Il- Our jail being considered in-
secure, the prisoners were removed to Ca-
:=.-iwba' for safe keeping. Before the-next
term of Court, however, they all escaped ex-
.:o=pt one, who had turned slates evidcnce,and
-tied injail. For several months afterwards
Scott was occasionally seen about the Bus‘, 251.
suspected ofpiratical intentions, and if was
said he threatened to burn the city, for which
the mayor offered a large reward for his ap-
prelrensiorr. From that time he seems to have
disappeared, until within a few weeks past he
has been seen again under suspicious circum
stances, in a boat with several others well ar
med, and at one time, they came alongside
the strip Aldebaron, down the Bay, and de
ained fo- a short time the captain, who was
.n his boat bound to the city. How Scot and
his associates have subsisted, we believe r~.
mere matter of suspicion, as we lrave II)!
heard of his having actually committed any
dt-predations since the one firsi alleged.

From the Plriladelphia Gazette of Thursday

We are sorry to state that Mr. l‘nos. Owen,
if respectable merchant of this city hung him-
selfabout eleven o’clock this morning, in his
w-areltorrsc in Chesnut street, below Second
street. The discovery was made by a custom-
cr, who, on entering the store, was told by the
young man, that Mr. Owen had just stepped
up stairs. Thinking he staid rather long, the
customer, after waiting a few minutes, ascen-
tied the stairs, and, to his great consternation,
found Mr. O. suspended by a cord, with his
h---.itl on one side, from the tackling in the se-
cond story. It is probable he broke his neck
by jumping from .1 chair which stood hard by,
as, though but a few minutes elapsed till he
was cut down, all the efforts to rectrscitare
liitn, proved ineffectual. Mr. Owen was aged
between 89 and 40 years, and has left a \\»'lft-‘
and two children. He was a native of Eng
land, and an itnporter of British goods. He
had lately met with some heavy losses; but it
was not understood that his affairs were en--
barrassed.

Rhoda I.sland.——On Rbode Island, whicli
is ll miles long and 5 miles broad, their. are
700 miles of double wall, from 4 1-2‘. It: 9 fee:
high, most ofwhicli is llandsume, anti in ex-
cellent order. This wall has all been built
within 190 years,and the expense of building
it is estimated to have been more than the
whole Island would sell for, land and blind-
lugs. The wall, ifit were in one direct line,
would reach from the town of Nt=tsp()r[ to
Iulchlgml T‘3ll'l'-‘l|'_Y- The luls tlu tile [5§and
are highly cultivated, and have an aspect litre
the garderi ofEdeu. The Island contains 55
square miles, and perhaps in no part of the‘
world are there more‘ products raised for man
and beast,than are annually raised on this isl-
and, allowiug the same Compass of grounds.
Besides all this, it is represented as being as
healthy a place as any in this country, and
that a more delightzul sunrlner residence is
not to be found, either in this or any other
part of the world.

Steam G'un.——The~ Potsdam American,-
says that .‘l'r. Jmah Stone, ofElizabethtown,
Essex county, N. Y. has constructed a Steam
Grin whrcli is discharged two hundredtiines in
:1 minute, throwing a ball, at eacr. discllarge,,
with much greater force than a common rifle.,
The gun is easily directed, and with the ap-
paratus, (weighing only 5 cm.) is easily trans-
ported ou wheels. The expense of construe-
ting the gun is ‘not great, and the principle of
ii is applicable to one ofaoy desirable caliber.
It is believed that guns on the same principle
miglrt be rendered highly efficient in the de-
fensive operations of war. It is supposed that:
Mr. Stone does not claim entire originality in
this application of steam power, but only very
great iinprovemeut. Mr. Stone _has corr-
structed a fuwling piece, which with powder
and ball, be discharged fifteen M1185 H1 3-
minute.
