LAWRENCEBURGH. SA TURD A F, FEBIIUAR Y 4, 1 82G. Omission. In making out a statement of the cargo of D )amel Brown, published in our last week 7s Kivcr List, we ".ad - vertently omitted 200 kegs of tobacco, and G live hogs. The Franklin Repository, published at Brockville, has again changed proprietors. The former editors, D. W. C. W. Hutchek, in taking leave of their patrons, tender their grateful acknowledgments for the liberal encouragement they have received while concerned in the establishment, and introduce as their successor, the Rev. Augustus Jocelyn; of whom they very justly remark 4,From our acquaintance with this gen tleman, we do not hesitate to acknowl edge him in point of capacity to discharge the duties consequent to the editorial department, superior to ourselves, and believe him an inflexible republican, a (inn patriot, a sound politician, a stern advocate of internal improvement, a zealous Christian, and an honest man." From our own personal knowledge of Mr. Jocelyn, we freely accord with the foregoing and have no hesitation in saying, that the paper under his control will be ably and independently edited. We cheerfully welcome him into the ranks of the corps editorial, and sincerely wish him all the encouragement which an enlightened and liberal public can aflbrd. We are aware that we have offended some of our honorable representatives, by remarking too freely (as they think,) in our last number, upon their healthy appearance, after the fatigues of a two month's session. In making those remarks, we were very far from intending an insult, much less a personal attack on the wisdom of our county! They, however, seem to take it differently they suppose that they are the only members we have seen since the legislature adjourned: this however is not the fact we have seen other members, who not only seem to enjoy good health, but are as turgid and fresh as a rose in May-day, indicating strong symptomsof sumptuous living: consequently, we could not have had particular allusion to our own members. We acknowledge that we were somewhat surprised at the improved appearance of the members, generally; having always considered the duties of legislation as being very arduous and believing that profound stud)- and the active and energetic Exercise of the mind, are more debilitating to the human system than the hardest manual la bour, we expected to see them return with their countenances deeply marked with the traces of profound thought, and their corporeity worn down with fatigue. But we have been mistaken on this sub ject and, in the language of one of that honorable body, we find that legislation is not what it is cracked up to be. WTe do not wish to incur the displeasure ofj any gentleman, nor would we make a personal attack upon any of our repre. 5cnta(ives without a just cause; but we feel ourselves sufficiently independent to speak our sentiments, on any subject, without the fear of offending nor have we yet become so sycophantic as to fawn and flatter where commendation is not due. The remarks in our last were innocent, and far from being a personal sarcasm; hot since some of our members appear determined to pocket the homely compliment, they are welcome to it. Extract cf a letter from a gentleman in Trinidad, to his friend in JVcw Haven, (Co?i.) uIn my last I mentioned my surprise at inv country's allowing the remains of tp i-TTprn of Erie" to lie so lon in a foreign land. Since that I have often heard it spoken of by the inhabitants of the Island, but not without reproaching myself for not having said more to you on the subject. They arc interred in an obscure part of the yard, and oftener pointed out to strangers by "that large tree," than by the homely stone, on which is inscribed "Com. Oliver H. Per ry, born August, 1735, died August, 1GQ:2." He was by "strangers honored

and by strangers mourned," yet it is hard for me to argue against the old saying, that ''Republics are ungrateful," until Ihe ashes of him who said uWe have met the enemy and they are ours," rests in the bosom of that land which he so nobly defended." Kidnapping A friend writes to us from Camden, in this state, that he was called upon on the 1st instant, by a black woman, named Volile Maxwell, living r v-

J;nJ who tQ h- thahcr son, Stcplicn Maxwell, was decoyed away, on the 21st ultimo, and has never since been heard of by her. He is about 13 years of age, rather dark coloured, of a common size and left hauded. He has several scars on his left hand, occasion ed by a burn, and one upon his neck, j caused by a swelling. He was tree born. served his time with Stephen Lucas, of the county in which his mother resides, and she served her time with Joshua Barwick, of the same county. It is supposed that the boy has been kidnapped, and Editors at a distance may promote the cause of justice and humanity by noticing the circumstance. Del. Gaz. Jan. 6, Polish Jczvs. The Emperor Alexander, adverting to the number of Jews in Poland, and the provisional order of m things now existing with respect to them, has published an ordinance, the sub stance of which is, that a committee shall he formed to which all the Jews in the kingdom must address themselves on affairs relating to their general interest. This committee is to examine all the ancient laws respecting the resident Israelites, and to report its observations to the lieutenant-general of the king dom. It is authorized to surest the necessary modifications in the regulations which have been hitherto enforced, for the benefit of the Jews, and the new regulations which it may be expedient to adopt. The committee is to be composed of a director, two assessors, a chief clerk, and two secretaries; and there will be added to it a council of ad vice, consisting of a president and five members, all Israelites. JVatchcs December 1 7. Small Pox. We regret to announce that some alarm has been produced in this place by reports of the Small-pox being on board one ot the steam boats lately arrived from New-Orleans. These reports have been confirmed by the Health officers, and in consequence, the steam boat Grecian, was ordered off a few nights since, and a guard ordered out to prevent communication with her. Ihe quarentinc Law is in force; and no boat from New-Orleans is suffered to approach the ity unless by express permission of Dr. Cox, the Health officer, whose vigilance we trust will prevent a communication of the disease to the citizens. This is an unfortunate occurrence at the present juncture, for our streets are again the thoroughfare of bustle and bu siness; and although it will not in the least, prevent the country people from coming into the city, yet it may retard somewhat the fall and winter trade which is opening with New-Orleans Ariel. LAW CASE. A case of some importance to Masters and Mistresses was decided yesterday, after some argument, before the Court of Requests, Vine street. A grocersummoned Mr. Styles, a chemist in the Regent street, for the payment of eight shillings, tor goods had by a woman representing herself as beingin Mr. Styles' services which he refused to pay on the ground that the woman had left his service some time past, and consequently the coods were not had for him. The Court however, with the exception of one member, decided in favor of the gro cer, on the principle that a person sending a servant to a shop for good:?, and paying one bill, is bound, on the servant's leaving him, to give notice to all his tradesmen not to let her have more goods on his account. If he does not do this, he is liable for any accounts she may run up in his name, at shops she had been accustomed to fetch oods from for his use, while she was in his service. Londun Paper. Extraordinary Case. A man named William Huddleston, aged 24 years, a native of Dutches County, has been exhibited near the New Ferry in the village of Brooklyn, on account of his extraordinary leg. Five years ago his right leg began to grow, and continued gra dually to enlarge; it is now tzvo feet six inches in circumference ! his leit leg is iust beginning to crow in like manner. His bodv docs not narticinate in the growth, but on the contrary is injured by it. His case is beyond the reach of the faculty. JY. Y. Pa. We make the following quotation from a letter, addressed to his constituents by Dr. Child, a member of the House of Representatives from the county of Washington, for the purpose of shewing what the members themselves thought was the effect of their vote, at

the commencement of the late session, laving on the table a resolution insructin'g a committee to wait upon Mr. Ray for a communication. Indeed no other deduction than that given by Mr. Child, can be drawn from the proceedings; and yet we have been most unmercifully abused for expressing the same opinion.

Gkeat Britain and Brazil A paper forwarded us by our correspondent at ltio Janeiro, publishes, though not officially, this treaty which is said to have been signed at Rio Janeiro on the ISth of Oct. last. I he king of England acknowledges the independence of Brazil and the imperial dignity in the person of the emperor Don i'edro 1st. and his legitimate heirs and successors. The treaty promises perpetual peace and amity; and provides for the appointment of consuls; grants the most perfect liberty of conscievce to sub jects of each state, and all privileges granted to those of the most favored nations; prohibits the reception into either country of deserters or traitors from the other; grants reciprocal liberty of commerce and navigation between the subjects of both, either in Brazillian or British vessels, in all ports, cities and territories of each except those which are positively prohibited to any foreign nation and to establish stores, Sec. &.c. The treaty requires that each British and Brazilian vessel shall have the cantain and

three-fourths of the crew natives of their res-tutions. clearly evincing that our government pective countries; fy forbids commerce only inj's the force of principle, that requires not phyarticles the property of enemies, contraband or',slCfd strength to carry its provisions into execa-

reserved by the crown of Brazil. Provision is made for the establishment of packets between the two countries, for warehousing goods not admitted, for the equal allowance of established bounties and drawbacks to ships of both nations and for a free sale of ICnlish goods to customers of all descriptions in Brazil, without regard to particular companies, except in cases where all commerce i3 placed under the same restrictions. J. 1. JJ. AJv. South Carolina. The legislature of this state hss granted 10,000 dollars for the benefit of the mediciil college The following is a cony of the resolutions of judge Smith, (lately of the Senate of the United States,) which have passed the legislature: 1. hits9'vtdt That congress dues not possess tht power, under the constitution, to adopt a gene ral system of internal improvement, as a national measure. 2. liesolved, That a right to impose and collect taxes does not authorize congress to lty a tax for any other purpose than 6uch as are necessarily embraced in ihe specific grants of power, and those necessarily implied therein. 3. Ilesolvcd, That congress ought mt to exercise a power granted for particular objects, m tft" ct other objects, the right to effect which has never been ronce-led-4. Jtesolved That it is n unconstitutional ex trcise ot p.wer on the part of congress, to tax the citizens of one state to make roada and canals for the citizens of another state. 5. liesoh-ed, That it is an unconstitutional exercise of p'-wer on the part of congress, to lay du'ies to protect domestic manufactures. The reso'utiuns passed the house by 73 to 33. and in th senate, by 22 votes to 20. Mr. Sim kins recorded on the journals a protest against vhem. The legislature of the state has granted g3,0Q9 'c the city council of Charleston, in part to def ay the expenses incurred by the visit of Gen. Lafayette.

The following calculation of the consumption of the. people of Connecticut on the late thanksgiving day, has been published and is, proba. b!y, pretty near the truth. Verily, the people have reaaon to be thankful for such a profusion of good things 50,000 geese 5 300 turkeys 65,000 chick ens 2000 ducks 25,000 lbs. beef, pork, and ther market meats 12.000 bushels potatoes 14 .000 do. turnips--4000 do beets5000 do. onions 10,000 lbs. cheese 12,000 gallons apple sauce 1000 do. cranberry do. 520,000 pump kin pies 100.000 apple do. other pies and pas try, 52,000 wine, 300 gallons brandy, 150 do. gin, 120 do. rum, 1000 do. cider, brandy and whiskey, 600 do. eggs, 522,000. Which would take 650 hhds. of strained pump kin 81 hhds. molasses 4060 lbs girger 7000 lbs. alspice 86,666 lbs. flour 43,333 lbs butter and lard 325 hhds. of milk, 100 galls, each 1000 lbs. nutmegs 50 lbs. cinnamon 43,500 dozen eggs ;- all ot which would weigli upwards of 500 tons, and cost about gl 14,000. lb. The Revolution. It is supposed that there are yet about oac thousand-venerable men liv-

in, who served tlieir countiy in arma, as ofSceis in the revolutionary war. They are urging, before the congress of the United States, a fulfilment of the promises made to them, at various times, from to 1733, by the revoluary congresses.

Indian Treaty. The president, by and with the advice and consent of the senate, his ralifiid the treaty concluded last June, between the U States and the Kansas Indians. By this treaty thft Kansas hu.ve ceded to th IT Stjtos Falls of the Ohio. The contrat for cutting the canal round the falls of the hio, has been taken by two companies Irom INew York, at imi,ch I, ss ,han the en,neer s estimates.

John Funstoz was hung at New Philadelphia, in the state of Ohio, according to his sentence, on the SOth ult. He confessed his guilt b f.tre his execution. Mis crime was, murder committed by shooting a mail-carrier. The property destroyed by the fire at NewBrunswick, Me. has been ascertained to be, two factories, eleven houses and stores, and three barns together with a considerable portion of their contents; the whole loss estimated to be from 100 000 to 300.000 dollars. The whole of the regular army of the United States, including otlicers 3nd privates, comprises only 5,S19 men, and these are scattered over a vast territory. These would scarcely af ford a body guard for some ofthe despots of Europe, who have legions under pay to prevent the march of liberal sentiments. What a comment upon the excellence of our political institicn. ddv. The Jews. The papl government has just restored in all their former rigor, the laws against the Jews. They are obliged to dwell in the Jew's Quarter (Ghetto) and even those opulent mem uers wh have purchased houses in other situu tions, have found their attemp's to beexcusrd o beying tnis order all in vain They are ordered 'o wear a particular murk of distinction the I men a yellow covering on the upper part of their nate, and the women a ribbon on their breast. Moonshine. If an animal, fresh killed, be exposed to the full effulgence of the moon, tt will, in a few hours, become a mass of corruption; while another animal, not exposed to such influence and only a few feet distant, will not be in the s'ighest manner affected. Fmit3, aho when exposed to the moonshine, have been known to ripen much - ore readily than those which have not; and plants shut out from the sun's rays, and from light, and consequently bleached, have been observed to assume their natural appearance if exposed to the rays of a full moon. -In South America, trees cut at the full moon split almost immediately, as if torn asunder by some external force. All these are remarkable and well established facts, but have never, as yet, been accounted for. l'lte li femal Trade A letter from an officer on board the British frigate Maidstone, on the coast ot Africa, dated September 12, has the fol lowing horrible particulars "The French now engross all 'he trade in slaves. A few days ago we nan a long and arduous chase alter a large frigate built corvette ship, which we at last ran alongside of She proved to be the French ship Orphee, with a cargo of s?ven Lund; ed slaves on board and in a state tlut would have made your heart ache to have seen. The rascals had near ly all of them chui.ied by the neck, or most of them; the rest by the legs to the deck; and, to add to the horror of the thing, the bolts were riv. etted, thereby showing it was not the intention of the monsters to let the innocent victims of their cruelty loosr, until the end of the voyage. She was bound to .Martinique. The between-deck was little more than three feet high, and the groins ofthe poor sufferers almost unmanned me When I desired them to be released, I thought I should have chocked never were my feelings so much hurt." Money. There is a ''dreadful ncare'ity" of money in England. Rut it seems from the follow, ing article, extracted from the Portsmouth Journal, that there is a greater scarcity in the eastern states. We have bought too much and aold too little. Immense quantities of British goods have been forced upon u.i, through auctions, and the cotton speculation has been extensively destructive. "The demand for money at this time throughout New England is great beyond all precedent and its cause is as inscrutable as its termination is uncertain. We are informed that the best notes in Boston, payable at a future day, are of fered at a discount of one half and two per cent a month; or in other words, that the interest ot money is at the rate of eighteen and twenty four per ct. per annum! This state of things is un precedented in this country, and unless soon ter-j mir.atetl must lead to serioug consequence,1 '
