A considerable rise has taken place in
the Ohio river within the past week,
which will afford water enough to admit flat boats to cross the falls. The ice in
the river prevents steam boats from do ing a regular business as yet, and proba
bly will for a few days to come. The
amount of produce which will now pass down the Ohio and Mississippi to New-
Orleans, will be immense, exceeding,
perhaps, the exports of any former year
From this place alone will be exported
something like 2500 barrels of pork, to gether with corn, oats, hay,&c. to a ve ry considerable amount.

By the polite attention of A. C. Pepper, Esq., one of the members from this county, we have been favored with the regular numbers of the Journal of the House of Representatives, up to DecV 21. In to-day's paper we have inserted so much of the proceedings as was tho't interesting. Little business of importance has yet been acted on ; and from the number of petitions for changes in roads, for divorces, &c. it may fairly be
inferred, that the most important part of
the business will be transacted at the close of the session as is generally the
case. The following extract of a letter
to the editors, may give some idea what
is doing at the seat of government. "Indianapolis, Jan. 1
"This is a period of the session that
usually presents much business for dis cussion before both branches of the Le
eislature. There is but little as yet,
however, that is to be considered, hav
ing assumed an important, or even a tangible shape; I mean business of a general nature. There has been much business of a local nature acted upon. The bill providing for the apportionment of Senators and Representatives, for the next five years, has been before our house in different shapes for about three weeks. It contemplates increasing the ratio to 800 for Representative, and 2000 for Senator. It has passed to a second reading; been committed to a committee of the whole; reported to the house with very few amendments.
But owing to the equality in point of
numbers of the parties for and against
it, and the capricious disposition of some who supported it, I think it is yet to be
feared it will not pas. I say it is to be feared, because I am inclined to think the bill which originated in the Senate, and which is now before our house, will, if the former fails, pass. It provides for an increase of Representatives and Senators, above what any just view of the situation of our country will, in my opinion, justify."

The success thaths attended the cultivation
of cotton is well known. It may be grown in all Egypt, and will probably be extensively planted in Nunia Abyssinia, &c. which are pret
ty densely populated, by persons considerably advanced in what is called civilization. Cufit-e
and sugar, in vast quantities, may be added to the t-xports of Egypt, and grain and cattle are
abundantly produced. These are some of the things which the pa
rha at prtsent contemplates, and all which he will, probably, cause to be done, if not diverted

the country was better settled than it is. But
in this respect, an astonishing improvement has

Several cotton factories have been erected,
and calico printing is about to be done, exten

been discovered, and will be worked. Machine

Fire at the Capitol. About 12 o'clock
on Thursday night, Vincent, the .ser
geant ot the guard on duty at the Uapu tol, being apprised of an unusual light in the apartment of the Library of Congress alarmed the Librarian, who instantly
came to the spot, and, on opening the
doors, perceived a part of the gallery, (of
wood,) which runs round the apartment,
to be on tire. He immediate! v removed
the books in the alcove adjoining; and, the alarm being spread, the citizens
promptly assembled. An engine and hose were brought, and by the very ac
tive exertions of the firemen, aided by a
number of Members of Congress, who vied with one another in their exertions
to save the Library, the flames were ex tinguished in less than an hour. Jat. hit
1 Queer Motion. It is said that application
is to br mde to the legislature of New Yrk
this winter to incorporate the Printers'1 Bank
in the city of New York, with a capital of 500
o00 dollars.
GCj'We can hardly suppose that there is any
thing serious in this, though it is gravely set
forth as a fact. Is the stock to be made up of the debts that are owing to them? If so and any method, can be fallr n upon to realise those debts, we will gladly take a few thousands of the 8 lock! But the idea of printers making a bank, is one of the oddest that we have lately met with, unless t is to be on the plan of the New Jersey "Lombard and Protection bank!" For the honor of the craft, we hope that the banking project may be abandoned for the melancholy truth is that we are more of borrowers ihan lenders of money, and about the most unfit class of persons in the world to be associate: id a banking institution if to be established as every bank should be.
Colombia Bolivar has been re-elected, unanimously, president of this republic. Cen Sin tandrr has been re-elecied vice president. A bank is to be established at Carraccas. 250 em igrants had arrived at Laguira, from Scotland.

The following statement is made in the British general Campbell's account of the capture of Donabew, from the Burmese "During the siege, the enemy made several bold and desperate sorties on our lines In one of these sorties a scene at once novel and rnteres ing presented itself in front of both armies, sv pnieen large elephants, each carrying a comple
ment of armed men, and supported by a column
of infantry, were observed moving down towards
our right flank: I directed the body Guard, un der capt. Sneyd, to charge them; and they ac
quitted themselves most handsomely, mixing boldly with the elephan's; they shot their riders ;fY their backs and finally drove the whole into

From the Philapelphia Sentinel. Attempt to commit Murder. On the eve
ning of the 4th instant as Christiana Sy
del was driving her Dearborn, on the!
Lancaster road, about four miles from this city,she was stopped by a villian who
jumped into her carriage with a knife in
his hand and attempted to cut her throat. She parried off the blow and received it on the left cheek, which cut her about two inches in length; the second blow she received on her upper lip; another
on the under part of her left arm below the elbow; also one on the left hand, by which all her fingers were cut. It was
with great difficulty she extricated her
self from the villian and run to a neigh
bouring house.

Reduction of Duties. A letter from a
Senator in Congress to the editor of the
Baltimore Patriot, says, the excess of the
Revenue has induced many members to
talk of a reduction of the duties on such
articles as enter into the consumption of almost every family; such as Colfee,
Peas, Cocoa, Wines, and Salt. It may
be necessary to prevent smuggling Irorn

By the last eastern mail we received a communication from the Hon. John Test, enclosing a letter from James Ste
vens, surveyor, of Newport, R. I. to him
on the subject of the White-Water canal. Mr. Stevens has, it appears, been engaged in making surveys and estimates on one or two canal routes during the past year, but is now unengaged. He informs Mr. Test that his services can be had, if application be made soon by the commissioners; &that he could furnish surveying and levelling instruments. Mr. Steven's letter will be handed to the Commissioner for this county, who can such disposition of it as he shall deem most expedient.

Philadelphia Dec. 20. Tt is ascer

Edward Thompson, is, as nearly as may
be, nine hundred thousand dollars. The security taken by the Custom House is
said to be utterly unable to pay any par
of this immense sum. Conjecture is bu

the phrase is, not caring who sutlers.-
The first number contains four iu idrec

of many, who may perhaps be thus sham

Mr. Beers not yet suspecting Blair, which the Clerks were in the act of desmade some imputations against one of the fa-' patching, we had the curiosity to inquire
mily members of Mr. Duncan's family, for how many such letters had been deswhieh an action of slander was instituted. A patched from that office during the last
Rule was granted by Judge Vincent agtinst! week. The chief clerk took the trouble
the plaintiff, the next day after the suit was brought to shew cause of action, and why defendant should not be discharged on common bait. Blair by this time had got alarmed with regard to his own safety, and the day the rule was granted, he called on Mr. Duncan in the presence of other gentlemen, and imformed Mr. Duncan that Joshua Beers had been with him that morning early, and had told him that he felt himself in a difficulty with respect to the suit that had been brought against him, and had offered him (Blair) the money, if he would put it ahout Mr. Duncan's house, so that he could fnd it with a search warrant, and that would be best for them both, and that he would consider it a great faror To the truth of this statement Blair was called to swear, when the counsel were shewing cause of action in the above mentioned suit of slander. He swore positively and deliberately to the facts as he had stated them to Mr Duncan, all of which was totally false, as Blair confessed, after the money was found in the possession of his journeyman, with whom he had entrusted it.

The whole number thus despatched during the week was thirty-three thousand eight hundred and twelve. In the packing and wrapping up the mails, about one hundred and twenty quires of large cartridge paperhave been consumed. In addition
