Cr Th3 Rev. John M. Dickey, of the
Presbyterian denomination, will preach in the church on Thursday evening next, al early candle lighting. A fire occurred in Cincinnati on the 28th ult. which destroyed a cabinet shop, grocery, dwelling house and barber shop on the west side of Main, between 8ih nd 9th streets.
The Madison paper states, that on
the 23d ult. a peraon by the name, of
Lewis had his arm so severly fractured by an accidental discharge of a field piece, as to render amputation nece-sa-ry he wa also much injured in other partg of the body. The accident occurred during the firing in honor of Gen,

born county; a favor the more confidently asked, seeing we hate been without such roads ever since his first map was published. We hope his honor will attend to these important matters at an early period of his work. The Western Times, of the 31st ult., contains the following notice of the decease of a valuable fellow citizen, at one time a resident of this place. DIED, in tbe arms of his family, in this

Divorce s. -The editor of the Western Times, speukingof the number ofapphcations annually made tothe legislaturesof the different states for divorces, introduces the following anecdote, which we think goes farther to show the impropriety of such cases coming before a legislative body for decision, than ail the speeches ever made in opposition to the practice. The following case was related to me, some time ago, by a Senator who was present, and shows how little the members inquire into the particulars in these cases, and how easily they may be imposed upon, to the ruin of an unoffending father, or mother, and the misery of a respectable family. kThe petition introduced into the
Senate stated, that the applicant married a young lady of respectable standing; that at the time, her character was fair beyond suspicion ; that he always treated her in the most affectionate manner; that he behaved with prudence, was industrious and moral in his habit?, and did every thing in hi power to make her happy. That notwithstanding such behaviour on his part, her first child vas a mulatto, and the acknowledged offspring of a colored man who lived about the house. "When the petition was read, the member who introduced it, rose and observed that he was acquainted with the case, and knew it to be strictly as represented : a second member confirmed his testimony ; and the poor woman, not being there to plead in her own defence, had no mercy shown her, but with the execrations of every member on her hejd,the bill was read a first and a second time, without a dissenting voice.
Some members thought the granting of
divorces a delicate business, but this was a. case calling so loudly for their aid that they could not hesitate. As the ayes and noes were about to be put, however, on the final passage, the introducer said he thought it well to tell the Senate one thing more, as it might weigh with some members in votiog, and that was, that the applicant and his wife, were both mulattoes, which was suppo
sed by some, to account for the color of
the child; and the former was the colored man alluded to in the petition, as its acknowledged father. Nor had he ever heard of any diffeneDce between this man and woman, or wish by the applicant for a divorce, but as the Legislature seemed disposed to divorce every body, he thought it best to commence with the negroes first, as likely to do the least injury,- and this was the only married couple he knew of in his county. Strange a3 it may seem, this little explanation weighed so muefa that the bill was lost."
We observd by an advertisement in a neighboring print, that our old friend Judge Scott, ex editor, &c. is engaged in arranging another map of Indiana, on an improved and enlarged scale. We do not wish to be considered as dictating, but would barely suggest to his honor the propriety of removing lake Michigan about 80 miles west of where it now lie?, agreeably to his former map, as it might, at some future day, save a great deal of troublesome legislation. Those settling where the lake new lies, would no doubt, have good cause of action for damages, were it removed after they had made permanent settlements. We have also to suggest thtft he will, in his new

"I gladly embrace the opportunity of
writing you by lieutenant Morris, who is prize master of a Buenos Ayrean privateer, which we captured a few days since at St. B irts, and have ordered to Pensacola for adjudication. 'The affair will doubtless create some sensation: I shah, therefore give a short summary of the facts as they have actually recurred. We had a boisterous passage to the latitude of the trade winds, rendered more unpleasant by the crowded state of the ship ; and to accommodate the minister of the Netherlands, who ha? an estate at St. Martin?, where, hi lady resides, and to afford to General Harrison a short respite from the horrors of ea sickness, the Captain obligingly consented to stop a day or two at the before mentioned island. The day after our arrival a despatch was received from St. Buts, acquainting us of a privateer's having J.iken a quantity of valuable merc:,aru;zi from an American brig, and that the privateer was then in the harbor. Ttie intelligence was confirmed by (he English brig of war Jeany, who politely ran down expressly to communicate the same information. We immediately got uuder weigh, leaving the ministers on shore, and as soon as possible alter anchoring, the governor was waited upon by the captain, and a demand made, that the schooner should be given up a? a pirate. After a procrastination of two days, the Governor and council refused either to deliver up the vessel or to order her from the port. "Detei mined not to let loose a buccanier to prey apon our commerce, and believing that she was our lawful prize it otice in our power, it was determined to
send in our boats with muffled oars at midnight, and cut her out from under the guns of the Swedish batteries. The expedition was entrusted to our 1st lieutenant, who shoved off from the Erie, (at the time in the outer harbor) at 1 o'clock in the morning, in the midst of a tempest of wind and rain. "For a whole hour, nothing interrupted the gloom of the ship's company, who
were anxiously watching the direction of

grito for the usual pretext of expulsion ot Spaniards was given, and the Regiment ol Artillery, and one or two Regiments
of Militia revolted. On the first oi December an action began in the suburbs, between the revolters and Government troops, and night only put a stop to the firing. On the second day, at day break, the light was renewed, and after some hot work the rebels advanced a few squares. All the Convent tops were occupied by Government. On the 3d, the rebels lost three or four guns, and were forced back to their old posts. The loss on both sides was about equal, perhaps 100 to 2C0 killed each day. Both sides fought with desperate valour, the action being( arried on with canon in the streets, and with musketry from the convents and house tops. On the 4th December, the day was opened by an interchange of messages, and as nothing could be effected by these means, the fighting was renewed with greater violence. At noon one convent surrendered through a forged order, purporting to come from the President, Pedraza; and the bells being immediately rung, a panic was spread through the Government troops. In three hours the victors rebels were in possession of the Palace, and all the convents, itnd then the canaille of the town, with the victorious soldiers rushed to the Parian and Portales, and a few other shops, and in two hours cleared out a property estimated at from three h five aUion?, and making no distinction between Spaniard and Mexican. The leaders of the insurgents were Garcia, who died of his wounds; Sorato, the three Tolsas, two Frenchmen, and another, Guerrero arrived on the 4lh day with fresh troops, and gave an impulse to the action which soon decided the contest. On the 4th and 5th, Guerrero and Zavala took summary measures to stop the pillage, by shooting and cutting down the thieves, and they have since collecJed much of the property, except what the officers kept for themselves, which would be the chief part. They profess to return the goods to the owners, but as this is impossible, it will go to the t fticers and troops. They are acting wisely, and
trying to make up the administration as
rie:tnv as it was before. It consists of
the same President and Minister?, except Pedraza; but they cannot get the Congress or Senate to meet, and the whole afiV.ir is still in a state of uncertainty.

Lights were hoisted by the shiin and a
second and third gun increased our uneasiness but only for a few moments as the flash of lightning showed the privateer rapidly advancing before the wind, and running along side, informed us that not the slightest accident had occurred. We instantly slipped our cable and extinguished our lights, as the batteries had thrown their shot so near, as to render any delay highly dangerous. "On waking the next morning, I found the ship at our old anchorage, oil St. Martins, whence we sailed last evening, on our way to Curacoa, to land the Dutch Legation. Much noise will assuredly be made by fastidious people, in consequence of infringing the neutrality of the harbor of St. Bartholomews. But you must bear in mind that the Buenos Ay rean private armed vessels have at the present moment no enemy but Spain, whose merchant fli'g is never seen, and that they are driven by necessity to acts of robbery, and are protected covertly in three islands of the W. lodies, viz: St. Thomas, St. Eustatia, and St. Barts, where they are principally owned. This fact has been clearly proved in the late instance of the trial and condemnation of the pirates at St. Christoph ers. It is the opinion of the wtat intelligent men iu
con, Calueron, Uortesan, Pirres and Muizquiz, who can bring into the field probably l0,C0O Vetera us; and the new
government has only two regiments of
practised or disciplined troops. At lirst we certainly expected an immediate reaction, which would quash the new party, but they seem to be acting with so much prudence and wisdom, that it begins to look doubtful. No doubt some
of the States will resist most resolutely, and the country will be divided for a long time; but the usurpers may keep their
post in the city and state of Mexico. The coaducta is at present safe at Puebla, under Maizquiz, and we believe it will get down safe." The editors of the American are also
