L.1 TES T FR OM EXGLAJVD. The fine fast sailing ship Isaac Hicks, Capt. 3Iacy, arrived at New York on Monday, 22d August (after being detained oil' the Hook 2 days by the storm.) By her the editors of the Commercial Advertiser have advices from Liverpool to the 10th ult. inclusive, and from London to the evening of the? 18th. The Bulletin of Physicians announced that Mr. Canning was better,, the acute symptoms of disorder having disappeared. An "Aggregate Meeting" of the Catholics has been held in Dublin, and another Society formed, which, without interfering directly with the law suppressing the Catholic Association, is intended to answer the

same purpose

Sir Walter Scott, with some members ol hesty, that the tranquility and improved con

his family, had arrived in Dublin, where he would remain a few days previous to his intended tour through Killarney, and the South of Ireland. Wc think it probable, therefore, that the next Waverly novel will be an Irish one. A public dinner was proffered him, but he declined the honor. The London Courier of the 16th gives

some documents from Colombia, which, if

they have been received here before, we have not seen. They relate to the trial and

execution of a colonel Leonardo Infante, of

the cavalry, for the murder of a subaltern

officer. The Colonel was adjudged guilty

of the crime some time last year,- but Dr.

Perra, the President of the high Court of

Justice which convicted him. refused to sign the sentence. He was afterwards impeach

ed by the House of Representatives, and

sentenced by the Senate to be suspended

for twelve months from office, upon two

third s pay. He conducted his defence with great ability. He occupied two complete

days in delivering it. The decision-ol this

important case will be productive oil very salutary effects in Colombia. The supre

macy of the law has been established firmly,

but temperately. 1 he sentence of the Court Martial on Colonel Infante has since been carried into execution. The address

of the Vice President to the Soldiers after

the execution, over the corpse is also given,

and is eloquent, patriotic and atlecting. A duel has been fought in Paris, be

tween Count Soger and General Gourgond, in consequence of the- answer of the latter

to the account of the Russian Campaign, by .the former. Count Seger was wounded in the arm, and the latter in the body. GREECE. It is stated in the Paris Etoile of the 14th of July, but upon what authority does not appear, that after the taking of Navarino, division of the Egyptian army penetrated into the country and gained some advantages ever the Greeks, but being surprised in a defile by Colocotroni, it was defeated and repulsed in disorder towards Modon. It is also stated in the same paper, that "a Commissioner of the Greek Government has been sent to Tino. His mission was to call a General Assembly of the inhabitants, for the choice of a Deputy, who should go to Napoli di Romania to declare their wishe3 for the election of a King of Greece. It is added that the object of the intended National Congress is to request the Cabinets of Paris and London to point out a Prince of Europe to govern Greece." A letter from Napoli di Romania in the Constitutional states, that "An Austrian squadron arrived at that port in the beginning of May, with an officer of rank, on a mission of great importance to the Greek Government. It is understood, from what had transpired, that the object of this mission was to induce the Greeks to establish a Monarchical form of government, and give the sovereignty to Prince Gustaveson, the son of the deposed King of Sweden.

This proposition was made as the result of

the negociations between Russia and Austria concerning Greece. Prince Gustaveson, who was last year in England, is now residing in the Grand Duchy of Baden.' We can hardly suppose that any credit is to be attached to the latter part of this account. As to the former, news to the same effect had reached us before; but how true it is, must depend upon advices yet to follow. The Etoile gives extracts of letters from

having taken their seats on the woolsack,

message was sent to require the presence of

the Commons at the bar, and the Speaker shortly after appearing, attended by a con

siderable number ot Members, the Lord

Chancellor proceeded to read the following

speech: "my lords and gentlemen, "The business of the Session being now brought to a conclusion, we are commanded by his Majesty to express the great satisfac

tion which he feels in releasing you from

your laborious attendance in Parliament.

His Majesty returns you his warmest ac

knowledgements for the zeal and assiduity with which you have prosecuted the inqui

ries into the state of Ireland, which he re

commended to you at the opening of the Ses

sion.

It is a particular gratification to his Ma-

dilion of that part of the United Kingdom

have rendered the extraordinary powers with which you had invested his Majesty, no longer necessary for the public safety. His Majesty is happy to be able to announce to you, that he receives from all foreign powers the strongest assurances of their friendly disposition towards this country; and of their desire to maintain the general peace. While his Majesty regrets the continuance of the war in the East Indies with the Bur

mese government, he trusts that the gallant exertions of the British and native forces employed in operations in the enemy's territory, may lead to a speedy and satisfactory termination of the contest. Gentlemen of the House of Commons, We have it in command from his Majesty to thank you for the supplies which you have granted to him for the service of the present year; and at the same time to express the satisfaction which he derives from the reduction you have found it practicable to make in the burdens of his people.

My Lords and Gentlemen,

His Majesty has commanded us to assure

you, that he is highly sensible of the advan-

tages which must result from the measure you have adopted, in the course of this ses-

sion, for extending the commerce of his sub

jects, by the removal of unnecessary and in

convenient restrictions, and from the beneficial relaxation which you have deemed it expedient to introduce into the Colonial sys

tem of this country.

These measures his Majesty is persuaded

will evince to his subjects in those distant

possessions the solicitude with which Parliament watches over their welfare. They

tend to cement and consolidate the interests of the Colonies with those of the Mother Country; and his Majesty confidently trusts

that they will contribute to promote that

general and increasing prosperity, on which his Majesty had the happiness of congratu

lating you on the opening of the present

Session, and which, by the blessing of Providence, continues to pervade every part of the kingdom."

Laic from Texas.-A gentleman who returned a few davs atro from the southern counties of this-Territory, informs us, that very late advices had just been received there

from Mr. Austin's settlement on the Colora

do, in the province of Texas, stating, that a

great and unusual rise of that river had ta

ken place, this spring, which had overflowed

and destroyed nearly all the corn and other

crops of the settlers. I his distressed calami

ty happened so late in the season, as to pre

vent the possibility of replanting, and great suffering was anticipated by the settlers in consequence of the loss of their crops. Game

was exceedingly scarce, and many of

V 7 W ' V the inhabitants were obliged to subsist on wild horses or mustangs. A large portion

of the settlers were in indigent circumstan

ces, and the prospects of all by no means favorable. So much for the rage for einisrrating to Texas. May their sutferings prove a warning to those who evince a disposition to follow them.

Masts by the Canals! There is

scarcely a day that does not more and more develope the value of our canals. Sloop and ship masts arc now brought down with facility. It was supposed that their extreme

bmyrna, of the 10th, 14th, 15th and 17th of length would forever prohibit their passage -Jtfhe. "The French frigate the Diana, through the locks ; but the ingenuity of our

Captain Began de La Rosiere has released

at Tino a Nepolitan bark, which had been unjustly detained, and taken the Greek schooner Policena, which had plundered French property on board a Russian ship at Beirout. Captain R. in a letter from Syra, 3d June, mentions the disasters of the Turkish fleet, the burning of a frigate and two corvettes at Syra, and the consternation of the Turkish captives. One of the vessels hurnt had on board the treasures of the

enterprising citizens has found a remedy for that evil. They have laid on a scow, butt end forward, the top of the mast projecting over the stern, and to pass a lock, by the aid of simple machinery the top is raised to an angle sufficient to permit the descent of the boat, while the mast thus elevated clears the upper gate when the boat has been let down to the lower level. The locks are but SO feet long; but masts of more than a hundred feet in length, thus pass them with facility. In ascending a lock, of course the projection of the mast must be nvor thn how nf iho boat.

From the Brookvilla Inquirer. WHITE-WATER CijXAL. The Board of Canal Commisionprs appointed at the meeting held at Harrison on the 13th inst., met at Urookvillc on Monday the 29th day of August, 1825. Present, John Wright, Patrick Beard, John Templeton, Jonathan Shields, John T. M'Kinney, Samuel Recs, and George II. Dunn. The meeting having been organized, it wa Resolved, That from the information this board has obtained, there scarcely exists a doubt of the practicability of making a canal from Fort )Vaync to the Ohio, and that a very fair prospect exists of obtaining the means of performing the work from eastern capitalists. From the information acquired by the board, it was found impossible to procure an engineer of experience and reputation in the western country to attend to the service required of those commissioners; and very doubtful whether any could be procured from the eastern states: Therefore, be it Resolved, That James Noble, John Test, and James B. Ray, EsqVs, be requested to address the war department, for the purpose of procuring for this Board the assistance of an engineer from the board of engineers in the pay of the government of the United States: And, as in the opinion of this meeting, it would be improper to omit any means likely to elFect the objects for which this board was appointed; and believing it important that a board of engineers formed of the citizens of our own state, and attached by their interests to it, would be a most valuable acquisition, not only in facilitating the business now on hand, but also, by enabling the state government to have always at command, a body of men capable by their information and experience, to take charge of those extensive improvements of which one state is capable, and to which it is hoped the attention of government will shortly be directed ; Resolved, Therefore, that this board will employ one or more persons to proceed to Ohio to examine the works now goins on there, and obtain such information as will render them competent to locate, survey, and estimate the expense, of the canal now in contemplation. Resolved also, That John Templeton and George H. Dunn be appointed a committee to express the thanks of this meeting to cap

tain Thomas Porter, for his oiler to survey

the atoresaid canal route, and to employ

him and Mr. Thomas Brown in that service

with such compensation as they may bedis

posed to accept, not to exceed the sum of

one dollar per day, ad to request them to proceed immediately to the Dayton canal line for the purpose of acquiring the necessary information, to keep an account of their expenses, the same to be defrayed out of the funds subscribed. Resolved, That from the best information in the power of this meeting to obtain, it will require about the sum of 1000 to explore, survey, locate and estimate the expense of a canal from Lawrenceburgh to Fort Wayne, and that the following rate would be a fair distribution of that expense among the several counties, to be benefited by the work, according to their capital and population; and the commissioners and delegates are respectfully requested to collect their funds as soon as possible

without the consent of a relative, as his ncjt fricjuh in the absence of his father, yet living,a!though at a distance from this country, who had tacitly left his son under the direction of this relative. The Court decided that the binding was legal. An attempt was then made to procure a release of the lad on the plea, that the trade (Chair Making) was injurious to his health, which had aU ways been delicate, that he had been indisposed several weeks before he decamped, but had been well ever since. No complaint was made of ill usage by the master, previous to the boy's elopement. The Court decided that the plea was insufficient. If the health of the lad was not good, it was his master's lis, he being bound to support hinv although unable to earn his subsistaneeThe lad was ordered to return to service, or await the punishment provided by law for his offence. After some hesitation he prudently chose the first alternative. The injurious etfect of any trade upon the health of the apprentice, we understand, is not in itself a matter of legal investigation. No master can wish to keep an apprentice who is unable to render him any service, and consequently it is the natural interest of the parties, that he be released from his indenture, when thus circumstanced. Landing of the Plymouth Pilgrims. We mentioned some time since, that Mr. Causici, a celebrated sculptor, was employed on some of the pieces intended to embeK lish the Rotunda at the Capitol. On the panne, over the door, opening at the Eastern Portico, he has just finished a fine piece of work. The subject of his chissel is the landing of the Pilgrims on Plymouth Rock. The groupe consists of four figures namely, the " Pilgrim," his wife and child, and an Indian. The Pilgrim, in the costume of the early part of the Kith century, is represented in the act of stepping from the boat, to receive, from the hands of the Indian, who is seated on the rock before him, an ear of corn, which is tenderd in the most friend 1 manner. A mixed expression of hesitancy and gratitude is visible in the countenance, of the Pilgrim, who appears to doubt the sincerity of the Indian, whose stern aboriginal features foim a fine contrast to those of the puritanical, but suffering adventurer. Behind, in the boat, looking towards heaven with an eye of devotional gratitude for deliverance from the sutferings and hardship of the voyage, stands the wife, with a child near her, whose countenance also bear marks of those "watching? and fastings," shared in common with the intrepid band.

$1000 Resolved also. That Mr. Jonathan Shields be appointed Treasurer of this board, with authority to call for the funds raised for the canal; to give bond in the sum of two thousand dollars, with security to be approved of by the board at their next meeting. Resolved, That John T. M'Kinney be appointed a committee to purchase such instruments for leveling, as may be necessary for the purpose. Resolved also, That John T. M'Kinney and George H. Dunn, be appointed a committee to conduct the correspondence of the board until their next meeting. Resolved, That the proceedings of this

meeting be published, and that the meeting!

adjourn to meet at the same place on the 3d Monday in September next. Jo h n R. Wright, Patrick Beard, John 'Templeton, Samuel Recs, Jonathan Shields, J. T. M'Kinney, Geo II. Dunn.

From the West-Chester Republican, Aug. 10. A case somewhat interesting to masters and apprentices, was tried on Friday. The. apprentice had twice deserted his post, was brought back the second time, and on refusing to return to service, was committed to prison by a magistrate. A discharge was asked for the boy, on the ground of illegality in his indenture, lie having been bound

Valuable Medicine. V fj HIE subscriber respectfully informs the pubU lie, that he is in possession of a medicine which, if there ate any such, justly claims the title of specific in curing Schirrous and Canccrout affections so far a3 he has had an opportunity of witnessing its effects, it has never failed when the disease was not very far advanced, or situated on some part difficult of application. Notwithstanding tbs great improvement made in the healmg art, within the last few years, this

proteus disease, when excision and exterpation are

neglected in the incipient stage, for the most part, baffles the skill of the ablest and most experienced of the medical faculty, when treated in the usual manner with arsenical preparations. Inspecting the composition of this invaluable medicine, it might be proper to state it is prepared from a veritable in a very condensed form, yet st mild when fcund in its native situation, as to be eaten by graminivorous animals, with impunity, as an article of food. From its action being confined almost entirely to the diseased surface, it is incapable of producing those disagreeable effects on the constitution consequent to the use of arsenical applications; which from the action of this mineral on the sound a9 well as diseased part together with its general operation on the whole system, through the medium of the absorbents, must not unfrequentiy produce serious objections to its use, admitting it to be a certain cure. Persons laboring under thi3 disease, can have an; opportunity of testing the benefits of this medicine, by putting themselves under the care of the proprietor, J. L. JFatJdus, who has imparted a knowledge of this preparation to Dr. W. L1NDSEY; whose advice and attention can likewise be hai when necessary. Their place of residence is Lawrenceburgh, Indiana. JOHN L. V ATKINS, Late from Princeton College Lawrenceburgh, July 15, 1S25 23N. B. Many certificates could be obtained from persons who have experienced the salutary effects of the above medicine, but I shall only cite the pub

lic to the following recommendation from a pbysi cian who has had considerable practice in it. I ami I ton, Butler county. (Ohio,) July 7, 1825. Having been for several yeara acquainted with, and in the habit of using the same remedy for Schirrous Tumors and Cancers, which is prepared and used by Mr. John L Watkins; I have no hesitation in pronouncing it the most certain in its effect in removing those affections, of any remedy winch has heretofore been discovered; provided the disease be in a part of the body to which this medicine can be conveniently applied.
