It is certain that they are disposed to quarrel; each prefering a long list of grievances The allied powers have interfered. ITALY. Letters from Palermo state, that in consequence of an earthquake, the sea had retired a great distance from the shore, that iEtna had opened six new craters and that a village in the environs of Nicolosi had been overwhelmed by the lava. THE BONAPARTES. Napolean remains at St. Helena " Sulky," as the English say, because he will, not kiss the hand that smites him. Lucien has put all the allied sovereigns in a trepidation, by asking leave to embark for America j which they have refused, in vio. lation of every principle of right and justice. Joseph is quietly settled down in New-Jersey, and becoming a very good farmer. Jerome has just purchased a large estate two leagues from Vienna. Eugene has obtained the principality of Eichstaedt, and will reside thereon. Bonaparte. The fact of Bonaparte being employed in writing u Memoirs of his own Life and Times" is positively asserted by M. Santini. who says, that when he left St. Helena, " it was finisheddown to the end of the Egyptian expedition." On this information, Sir Rich' ard Phillips, an extensive publish, cr in London, opened a correspondence with the colonial depart, ment for permission to communicate with the author through this department, which was refused. A very strong omen, we think, that this work of Bonaparte will never see the light. From the Cincinnati Gazette, We cannot pass in silence the advertisement of William Green, which will be found in this day's paper. Strangers will scarcely believc the fact, that a" Bell, Brass and Iron Founder y, and Steam Engine Manufactory" on the extensive scale of Mr. Green's, could have hern commenced and put into operation in the short space of two months from the laying of the foundation stone. It is, however true, that this foundery which comprises one of the best constructed Air Furnaces in the United States, two very staunch and well finished buildings, one forty by ninety feet, the other forty by twenty, both two stories high, and as adjuncts, three smitheries, one of which is intended to furnish the boilers for steam engines, and all the etceteras which

enable Mr. Green to speak so confidently in his advertisement: We say, that in this backwood's City, this foundery was put in blast within two months from the throwing up the first shovel of dirt. But the merits of this establishment do not rest heie. Un. der the auspices of Mr. , Green's comprehensive mind, and active

and persevering disposition, it is not surprising that this great enterprise should, in so short a time, give an additional testimony of our rapid growth and an earnest of what we can accomplish: the work executed at this foundery is the test of the intelligence and skill whichgovernitsoperations. Much of this work we have seen, Castings of iron and brass, and fearlessly pronounce it equal in all respects to any ever brought into this city; and here we would particularly notice the Phuth Moulds,

Mr. Green will immediately erect Boring and Punching machines; andt9 tnc present buildings will shortly add others for the accommodation of all the departments of this extensive business : the whole, when completed, covering a vspace of at least three hundred feet. No doubt can, therefore remain on the public mind, that Mr. Green will be able to furnish, on short notice, Castings of every description whatever, and in the neatest style of fashion." " Steam Engines Fire Engines Bells of any size, from the largest known in America, down to the smallest in use ; and Swivels, Cannon, and other Ordnance. Need it be said, that we heartily rejoice at the success of Mr. Green, so far ? Does not every friend of our city, every friend of the Western Country, also rejoice? Ir remains then to be seen how far puolic munificence and liberality will remunerate this gentleman for the labor and expense he has incurred. We venture to express the opinion, that it should be considered the test of a man's patriotism, to procure his Castings here, rather than from abroad. Nashville, July 15. CHEROKEE TREATY. General Jackson and suite reached his seat in this county on Sun. day evening, from the Cherokee nation. We have understood he succeeded in the object he had in view, so far as to obtain a relinquishment on the part of the tribes to all claim to Doublehcad's and all other reserves in the Alabama territory and this state, and established the principle that in proportion as the tribe removed West of the Mississippi river, the United States should have possession of the country they removed from and as it was not certain what the proportion now removed was to the whole tribe, the nation relinquished to the United States all the land claimed by it east of the Chatahooche river in Georgia, and west of Walder's ridge, in Tennesee, making about two millions of acres ; the treaty also makes provision that the census of the whole tribe shall be taken in June next, by an agent of the United States, and those willing to go to the west of the Mississippi, considered with those already there, and the land as the proportion they bear to those remaining shall-revert to the United States. By this agreement there is very little doubt but the laws of the Union will in less than two years be extended over the whole country now claimed by.

the Cherokee tribe.

MELANCHOLY EVENT. Died, in Licking township, last week, Mr. JONATHAN CLARK, late one of the editors of the Zanesville Express. The circumstances attending the sudden decease of Mr-'C. are singular and lamentable. A few months since he married into a respectable family in the township of Licking ; he was possessed of handsome property, and his prospects in life were flattering. Some recent disappoint ments in his calculations fhad operated to depress his spirits, and on his last visit to this place (the 22d inst.hc discovered strong symptoms of hypochondriacal affection, and his countenance indicated the deepest dejection and gloom which was particularly remarked by his icquaintance. He departed from town on the morning of VV ednesday last. On the succeeding day his horse was found alone near the residence of his friends in Licking township. This circumstance excited alarm, and after much search, he was found in a deserted cabin, near the road, hanging by a small rope attached to the joists! In his pocket book was found a letter addressed to his wife, of which the following is a copy. It exhibits the mental distraction of its unfortunate author. Dear Wife, My situation is such that I cannot control my circumstances any longer. - God in his Providencehas seen fit to reduce me to such a state that I cannot get a living in this world. I rcpen't I sincerely repent for having caused you the pangs which you must feel. O Nancy ! forgive me, and God will forgive me. 1 must die for I cannot get a living. My way is hemmed up. O miserable creature that I ami What have I done that I must come to this ? 0 Lord God forgive me. Thou wilt surely be merciful to me. Nancy! my head is on fire! O forgive me ! O God forgive me. 1 have always endeavoured to get a living, but God has seen fit to close up my way. What shall I now do ? I cannot write, for I can say nothing to the purpose. O forgive me ! and O! will your relations forgive me! Eternally adieu. J. CLARK. The fatal instrument of his death (a common plough -line) was pur
