to the noble cltaracter of a mediator between
the two hemispheres, between ancient rights
and new rights which it is time, at length to
nonsecrate for the repose and happiness of

forth we must choose between them: The
President of the United States Wtiuid Ith-
doubtedly repudiate these consequences, if
they presented themselves, thus separated, to

or less to be condemned, for being found iii his
Message, only as inferences from the princi-
plcs which he thinks proper to lay down in
examining the situation oflrlayti. He refuses
to form relations with tiiat country, because,
says he, “ it has accepted a .nominal sove
reignry, granted by a foreign Prince, upon
conditions equivalent to the concession of
conrirtcrcial advantages exclusive for a single:
iratiori ; conditions which render it 5lll’)ji:Cl to
a state of colonial vassalage, and which leave
it the name only ofair indcpeiident nation.”
It is from the exemption from the dcmi-duty.
that Mr. Adams draws this consequence,
whit-.h assuredly France (lid not forsce, that
I-layti is still in a state of vassalage. It is

other plea, viz.—that the powers ofthe meio-
bers from the. most important parts of the
country, are too full famplios.) They are sent
back and it will be necessary to have a new
election,and,¢heir powers particularly defined
and limited. General Bolivar about 3 weeks
past became dissatisfied at what he believed
to be it factions spirit on the part of the ma-
jority of the Congress, and-thought that the
measures proposed through his Ministers for
the good ufthe‘ country, would be opposed.—-
He became irritated -and gave orders for all
the Colombians, amounting to 1500, to ht’-
ready to ,_march in eight davs—detei'mining
to leave them to organise their government
in the best way they could. A, deputation of
the Congress and the municipality waited tip-
on him and solicited lrimto remain——they suc-
ceeded in appeasing liitii, and he has consen-
ted to remain. There appears (to those who
are tnere spectators, and who cannot look be-
liitid the curtain) something contradictory be-
tween his acts and words. Tire General has
announced that he is anxious to give up his
dictatorial power to the Congress. The Coti-
gress consider themselves prepared to organ-
ise and form a government, and to receive
the power back which was granted to hirn—-
brit they cannot agree upon certain points, so
that a military government must be-the order
ofilie day, until a new election takes place,or
until the General cliauges his mind, particu-
larly with regard to the amplios or full pow-
ers. Iwitnessed the_ execution oftwo traitors
in the public square a few days ago. Berin-
dtiaga, the principal. was Ministe. of \Var.-—
He was attached to the Span sh party——left
them, was received by the Patriots, appointed
.‘/linistcr of State—becaine possessed of all
the secrets ofthc governineirt, betrayed them,
and was the principal agent in giving posses-
sion ofthe Castle of Callao to the Spaniards
-—-he and the Marquis of Torretagle, were the
two principals engaged in the conspiracy, the
latter wa~ President ufl’eru. They remained
with Iiodil in the Castle until a short time
before they surreirdered. Beriuduaga in at-
‘ icrirpting to ge: on board a French frigate was
iakt-.n ; and after a confruerneut oftliree or 4
uionths was executed in company with an old
man of the name of Teroi-i, air inferior a .,erii.
who Berinduaga implicated in his defeuce.-—-
The Marquis of'1‘orretagleentered the Castle
with a family consisting of sixtecri——but two
were left alive when the surreurltzr oftlie Cas-
tle todk plzrce—wheihr~r from grief or starva-
iion is not known: as the Marquis wasirrr
mensely rich it is thought by rnarry persons
that Hudil contributed either by rough treat-
ment or some other way to shorten his ('.,'§ls[-
circle, in order to have the control ofliis innu-
ey. The number of persons who pcrislied
itirniigir the cruelty and obstinancy of Rodil.
is estrmamrl at upwards of 6000—a great tria-
uy were shot, and the week previous to thr-
surreudcr, forty-five were executed. Their
bodies along with those who died frotn starva-
tion, werethrown out oftlie Castle walls, and
exposed to the Buzzards, who pick the flesh
olfa dead body in a few hours ;withiii a short
disiaiice from the Castles, in the ruins of old
Callao, (formerly destroyed by an earthqniike)
the bones are bleaching, several ofthern have
soirre fl»-sir on. Since the sriri'e.nt_ler, a partial
burying has taken place, and a considerable
number burnt. Bolivar is not very popular
here. Berinduaga had a great hatred for him,
and his party was considered strong-—-after
the Supreme Court had considered the appeal
and confirmed the seuteuce—tbe present min
ister of war and marine, Salazar, a cousin of
Berinduaga refused to sign thetsenteiice. The
Miiiiicipttlity and other 0fIiC"l‘S ofgovernmcnr
iv:-r ited upon Bolivar, and solicited a coininu-
tation of his puirishrnetit-—-he was firm and
not to be moved, either by them, or his wife
and female relations, whom he refused to see.
[have had repeated opportunities of seeing
Bolivar, and have met hitn at_ a private sup-
per, given by an English merchant. His ap-
pearance is prepossessiiig ; his eyes keen ; his
face rnucb wrinkled ; skin much browned ;—
his person under the common size and tliiu,
but with the appearance of being able to err
dure a great deal of fatigue--the changes in
the expression ofhis-countenaiice rapid, with
all the marks of intense thinking, and great
care upon his mind. I have seen him in reli-
gious processions, carrying a large wax cari-
dle-’—he looked as if he was thinking upon
other affairs, and merely complied out of re-
spect to the religious feelings of the people.-—
'l‘lie people of this country are not yet pre-
pared for a free governnien'.—tliey are not
suflicieutly enlightened, and may be consider-
ed as many years behind the Bueiios Ayreans.
If Bolivar should leave them, the couteudirig
factions would soon produce a state of armr-
chy. Bolivar has shown much disinterested-
ness, by refusing the grants of money tirade
him, and bears his own expenses. He is un-
questionably a great man, and may be called
with some propriety the Washington of the
South.

FROM EUROPE. _
London papers to the 24th of July were
last week received at Philadelphia.
The most important article in the papers,
saysthe Gazette, is the official report made
to the Emperor oflirrs.-la on the secret socie-
ties and alleged conspiracies said to have oc-
casioned the rebelhons explosion which sig-
nalised bis accession to the throne. Agreein-
bly to the report the ramifications’ of the
conspiracy extended throughout the empire,
in almost every province of which organized
bantls of reformers existed. The professed
object. was the establishment ofa representa-
tive governitient.
The news from the manufacturing districts
ofEngland possesses a mourriftrl interest.
The distresses of the Spitalfield weavers
equal in intensity those oftlieir brethren in the
North ofEnglarid. More than 9000 ofthem
depend on public contributions for their stip-
port : and the fountain of private charity
secured nearly exhausted. ,
The distress in the manufacturing districts
of Scotland exceeds, perhaps. that ofLan-
cashire or any part of Englaud._ -It is stated,
for example, in a letter from Glasgow, that in
fhesmall town of Maybole, in Ayshire, the in
habitarrts of which only ainoiiuted to 3000,
there are 1768 persons out ofcmployment.
The notices ofthe harvest in England are
favourable; yet a knowledge ofthis fact does
not appear to have had any effect on the price
of grain. The truth is, that an average crop
will no longer supply the wants of England,
with its increased population. ,
appears that in Poland there is abundance of
corn ; but very"different is the state of Swe-
den, wlicre a failure ofthe harvest and at con-
sequent scarcity are fully expected.
LONDON. July 23.
Manufacturing Di.5'fre3s.—._'1‘trere never was
such an appalling and awful prospect before
us: if things continue many in oriths as they
are at preseri:,th-are must be a rebellion before
Christmas. I773 and l79%,are nothing in
comparison willi 18226, when the extent of
commerce and the increase of population are
taken into consideration. A cramped circu-
lation and the destruction of credit and confi-
dence. which -it will take years to i'estore,havt-.
pa.alysed every department ufcomiiiei'ce,and
brought the coimtry to a state of misery and
despair‘.
In the north,-the merchants are losing by
every engagement; in their own defence they
are obliged to turn off all their hands. The
rririiriifachrrers do not get the price of the raw
rriatcrial for their manufactured goods, and
are obliged to turn off their liauds. There
is no einployinent for the labouring classes,
arrtlyriirrigiireii, ofgood sober habits and
moral principles, are willing to do any thing,
however slavish, to gain a coriplc of shillings
a week. Every prudent man is reducing his
establisliinent and curtailing his expenses :—
society are anxiously tliinkirrg lroiv they are
to gain a miserable pittance.
Low woollen goods for the North Ameri-
can nrarket sold last week atfluddersfield 10
to 9.0 per cent. lower than they have been
known for the last sixty yt_"zl.l'S. in fact, no
words can paint the distresses of Lancashire
and the West Ritiirig of Yorkshire.
The correspondent of a daily paper says,
" the loss of crerlit in a mercantile country is
an evil of such as years cannot repair. Why
not touch on the corn laws. The best wheat
is now selling at Hamburg, and very late pur-
chases made, at 205 l The aristocracy do not
feel our siifl"er'ings—-tlicy are at present bask-
ing in Fortune’s lap. Their turn, however,
will soon come, and with redoubled force, and
they will feel what it is to annihilate coni-
mcrce. There must be air eventful crisis ere
long~-A-tlie poor-rates are increasing tenfold—-
:1 perfect sttignatioii in every departnreut of
commerce, and ruinous sacrifices tirade by
any kind for the laboring classes.’ .
Tire poor rate in Bolton is advanced to 55.
in the ll. The collectors state, that it is next
to impossible to get in the old rate, and ltow
they will proceed with this addition may be
easily guessed. The rate will be grieviously
fen by such as pay heavy rents. We can
state on the very best autliorlty, that a iuauu
facturer-in the silk and worsted trade, not far
from the Metropolis, who has hitherto kept
upwards of 5000 bands, has given intimation
to Ministers, that he can no longer continue
his business without certain ruin, and that he
will be obliged to discharge the whole as soon
as they have finished the work in hand.
Every branch of business appears to be rap
idly declinittgl or in a state ofinactivity a
mounting to absolute stagnation. The uni-
versal topic is the condition oftlie people in
the manufacturing districts. Great appre-
hensions are entertained of insurrectionary
movements in the neighbourhood ‘of Wigan,
where persons have been engaged in manu-
facturing pikes for some weeks past. Gov-
ernment are at length convinced by the rep
rcsentatloirs from the northern manufactories
and from their own observations, -tliat sub
scriptioirs are quite inadequate for relief.
A Bo_lton paper states, that five mills sus-
pended operations at the end of last week in
that town alone," by which 2000 workmen
were added to the multitudes out of employ-
ment. Bound tip, together, as the interests of
the masters and the workmen are, it is impos-
possiblc to afford any relicfto the latter with -
out improving the condition of the former.—
Where tens and hundreds of thousands of
workmen are out of. employment, private
charity must fail to afforil adequate relief'.——
It may indeed, by sliowing to the poor that
the higher classes sy.riipatliise in their ‘distres-
ses, serve to excite kindness among the differ-
ent ranks; but without more extensive relief,
this feeling willbe insufficient to prevent the
tuutult which great distress produces. How
this is to_ be aflbrded we are unable to say.-—
One thing is quite obvious, viz. that no tinre
should be lost in calling Parliament together.
The misery at Manchester is most appalling
and increasing every day—ur~.inufacturcrs,
workmen, and people ofevery description feel
the oppression oftlre tiriies-. A gentleman
from Colne, says that a weaver must ,work
night and day for a week, in order to obtain
5 shillings.
London, July £28.-;'In one district of Lan-
cashire, within the circle ofa few miles, forty

as startling. . ,
The Cotton weavers of Belfast have forwar-
dcd a memorial to gover nmetrt, praying that
Ministers may take their state into considera-
tion, arid grant them an opportunity of emi-
grating, bcfore the itrclenieucy of winter adds
to their sutferiiigs.
The London Times, after speaking of the
sufferings of the poor in England and Scot-
land, says, " Amidst this extensive national
calaiuity, it is natural to look to the manufac-
turers of foreign countries with some interest,
to ascertain hoiv far their state assimilates to
our own. The danger to which England was
exposed from the competition of the United
States in the gretft fabric of cotton, is likely,
we understand to be averted, as most of the
rnariiifactories established in Rhode Island,
and other parts of the Union. were by the last
accounts on the point of being abandoned !!
through the iriabrlity of the owpers, to work
them to advantage. We are also assured that
in scarcely any ufthe niauufactories in differ-
eut parts of Europe does much activity pre-
vail.”——-Phil. Griz.
From the Smzrlay Times, of July 23.
The comrncrcial affliction of tlie_ country
continues uirabated. The scribes in the pay
of the Trinidad Planters have been l.rtely
drawing comparisons to prove that the ne-
groes are better off than our own peasantry
and manufacturers. They have published in
a_'i‘rinidad paper the following picture of the
free whi.c populatiuii of this country, which
we blush to say is not overcliarged--
“ It is an appalling picture of human mis-
ery, confessed by the masters themselves, and
. published to the world in the public journals;
thousands of’ wretclred beings without ,the
iueans of subsistciice in every part of the
,kz7_rgdom—woine_n and helpless children, im-

der the eyes oftlie Legislature—In Leeds the

from premature exhaustion and over exertion
——arid in Bolton, Gracious heaven l feeding
with hogs on brewers’ grains, and covering a
morsel of lrorse_-flesh as a luxury ! Well may
“I856 Unhappy wretcbes envy the state of our
African laborers.” '
All.that can be said in reply to this terrible
truth is, that the manufacturers are not sub
ject to the branding-iron and the cart-wliip.
FROM THE NATIONAL Gazmjrrr-:.
Captain Baldwin, of the packet ship Alex-
ander, liarrded us, yesterday, for publication,
the following stateineut. At we inserted the
extract from a letter in which Mr. Randolph
accused the captain of itrisconduct towards
him, we conlr not decline a reply to that ac-
cusation, corrsisting of facts alleged in self-
tlefeiice; and we trust that the many editors
who likewise admitted Mr. Rantlolplr’s state-
ment into their columris,will give place to the
answer, ‘upon tliesame principles of fairness
and equity. Until yesterday we had no er-
sonal acquaintance with Captain Baldwin ;—-
but we felt an interest in his case, from the
very respectable character which we knew
trim to bear in the estimation of very respect-
able men, and because, by the circulation of
M r. Randolph’s letter he was arraigned pub-
licly without any public provocation on his
part, and during his absence, when he was
exposed to those perils or cliauces,tvhich ren-
der the return of sea-faring persons always in
a degree imcertain. We are far from taking
any pleasure in the promulgation ofsucli de-
tails concerning a Senator oftlre U. States.-
They mortify us as Americans; and we siti-
cerely wish that he had given no occasion for
the publication of them, at least in this way.
To the Editorqflhe National Gazelle..
Sir: I have seen since my arrival, your no
tice of Mr. Rarrdolpli’s letter in relation to
my treatrnentof him during-my last passage
from this port to Liverpool, which letter was
so magnaniniously published to the injury of
an absent man. I have to express my ac-
knowledgments to you for interposing a kind
word in my behalf, until I could speak for
myself. This I now find, in the opinion of
,my friends, ought to have been done before;
but I assure you it has been omitted entirely
becarrsel thought the character of Mr. Ran-
dolph was so well known througliout the
country, that reply was not necessary. As it
has been suggested to me that there are many
very respectable persons, who, knowing only
one side of the question,may take his account
ofit to my disadvantage, without hearing the
other side plainly told, [am therefore obliged,
very much against my feelings and in_clina-
tion, to place myself before the public, by
sliowiug in self-defence the conduct of Mr.
R. on board my ship. -
. No sooner had we gained the deck of the
ship at Newcastle, than Mr. R.’s irritable dis-
position began to shew itself, in consequence
ofhis overbearing one passenger ask another
whether Mr. R. had paid his steam boat fare,
(his refusal to do which had becotiie a tnatter
of public conversation on board the steam-
boat) for this he swore he would not do, by
reason, as he alleged, ofhaving been taken to
this city against his will, and that therefore
they were bound to return him free ofexpense;
and to prevent difficulty or detention one of
passengers actually paid Mr. R.’s passage -to
Newcastle. It is proper for me to state here,
that the stories about the dog and the duel,
circulated in this city after our departure,were
not exactly correct ;a|tliougfi it is true that in
the affair of the dog, between myself and a
steerage passenger, Mr. R. very particularly
and politely requested of me permission to
takctlieanirnal, and [consented ; and as it
regardsthe duel, tV1r.R. did display his pistols
on deck, but for what object I cantiut say, un-
less for the purpose of iiitirnidation. On get-
ting to Sea, Mr. R.’s querulous disposition
manifested itselfin stich a variety of ways as
to defy description. It mainly consisted in
contradiction, severity of remark, profanity,
vulgarity, and even 0lJSCellll_V-;‘ indeed, as re-
gards the latter, such was his language, that
the two gentlemen passengers who had their
families. with ,them, actually desired me to
have a separate table for the ladies in their
own cabin, and I was obliged to assure thetn
thai if he did-not inerid hisrnariners he should
have another apartment andtabie for his own
private use. Out of such conducffiwhlclt “'35
either alienation of mind or influence ofdrink,
grew the affair on ‘deck wlilcli he has so geri-
general abuse of every tliiriggand every body, A
—It was his custoin;-.,_to go upon deck late at
night, and there igritkerfere with the discipline
of the ship, by diverting the attention of offi.
cers, lieliirstnan, and watch ; a practice which ,
neither master nor passengers, as far asgrny
experrence goes,wtll approve ; nor while 13“,
governed by my present vjews of duty to my
0Wne_rs, my passengers, and myself, will [_
permit. On this occasion, I politely request- ’
ed him not to do so, and was treated in the
vulgar manner he has publicly acknowledged. ‘
, .
I‘he oft-icer of the deck afterwards told me he

ladies’ cabin that but for the presence of tho ,
officer and l'l0ll1‘lSt'l‘lflll he would have ripped
the captain tip. The general conduct of Mr.
Randolph had become such, that I was com-
pelled, fortlie safety ofall on board, to make
such arrangements as would preventhim from
committing any greater act ofviolence,should
he attempt it; but I believe he got wind of
what was in preparation,for he behaved much
better afterwards. -Iam happy to reflect that
I an: very well known in his own State, and
will trust my character there and clsrvliera
with perfect confidence. I have been twelvé
years carrying passengers acro.-s the Atlantic;
and can truly s :y that John Randolph, ofRo.
anoke, is the first passenger I ever had a
quarrel with on boardniy ship. I will mere.
ly add,that all the passengers on this occasion
(except Mr._R.) expressed their desire on our
arrival at Liverpool, to sign a paper declaring
their entire satisfaction with my conduct
tlirotigliout. I did not deem it necessary to
procure such testimony, brit for the fact, I .
confidently appeal to any one of those genilg.
men. Yours respectfully, S. BALDWXL‘-'.

emigrate.

The filter liit.—A Travelling Tin merchant
from the land of “ wooden nutniegs 8:. horn
gun flints,” avhile moving with his portable
warehouse through an adjoining town, called
upon a very shrewddescerident of St. Crispin,
or in other words, a pretty 1‘ wide awake’? -'
Shoemaker, who having on hand a Plattsburg
dollar, thought the present opportunity a very
fine one for disposing of it-—besides_ the im-
mortal honour he would acquire by having
".StlClS’(l in a Yankee Pedlar,” a considera-
tion of no small importance, it being general-
lybelieved a very difficult point to accom-
plish. He accordingly bought a fur ‘paste
ham, and givinga Icnawing ivink to the by-
standers, offeredbis Platisburgh bill, and re-
quested the change. Thepedlar looked grave,
and shook his head—-he did notlike the bill,
be said, for he had heard the bank was down-
tors, men not to be relied upon-—the bills were
that matter, a little better, because it was less
trouble to carry it ;” and all the spectators.
joined with him, in recommending the bill to
he a good bill, and the bank that issued it, to
be a bank of“ exceeding good repute.” The '
unsuspecting pedlar put it into his pocket
book, and handed - out the change--tlie
ny-standers pitt on long faces—the shoemaker
laughed behind his ears and no one looked
really honest btit the pedlar. But trading did
not stop here ; Crispin, elated with his suc-,
cess, offered to sell the tnan of tin a lot of
shoes, at a reduced price for cash. The ped-
lar bargained for them at 8l0—-deposited the
slices in his cart-box—paid the amount in
Plattsburgh bills—-and drove leisurely off’,
