NewconA, of the U. S. army, lately from Sackett's harbor, as a hst resort left the vessel and at. tempted to reach the shore by exhaus-

ted, having been on the wreck 48 hours, without any kind ot sustenance, he was overcome by the violence of the waves, and soon sunk to rise no more. The remainder of the passengers and crew were soon after relieved by a boat from the shore. -There is much reason and good sense in the following remarks, which are applied by the New. York Daily Advertiser to. the cloud of ephemeral reports which huzz about our ears respecting our relations with foreign powtriiNat. Int. " We are not able to discern the wisdom, -or the necessity, of all this uneasiness and sensibility, on this subject. The relations between us and foreign nations are not to be governed, nor, indeed influenced, by such vague, undefined, and irresponsible reports.. If the representatives of the government of this country are improperly treated by the courts to which they are sent, their remonstrances wilI,of course, be made to the Chief Magistrate at home, and he will conduct according to the exigencies of the case either by a suitable address to the court, or by directing his agent to take leave, and come home. How can it be supposed, that the -superficial, knowledge which mere travellers from this country to Europe, either for business or pleasure, can be supposed to possess, should enable them to divine the mysteries of foreign politics to such a degree, as to entitle their opinions or lucubrations to a moment's serious consideration ? " The man who looks for disinterested friendship among narions, knows but little of the history of nations. A sense of mutual interest, or of common danger, may unite two distinct powcrsin the promotion of that interest, or guarding against the approaches of that danger- Beyond this, wise men will not look for many tokens of good will and uch men will not be disappointed. " There is no great reason to fear that the United States will be treated with contempt, so long ,33 the national affairs are conduc ted according to the principles of the constitution, and with a due regard to the rights of others. Our national and individual character were not made to be despiued. Baltimore, Oct. 4. We learn that the Powder Mills on Jones' Falls, about seven miles from this city, belonging to the Messrs. Leveringsand others, were blown up this morning about 8 o'clock. The shocks caused by the explosions, three in irucccssion, were distinctly perceived in this city, h is stated that three houses are entirely destroyed, and upwards of 200 casks of powder ; the roof of another house, used as a magazine, and CDhttiring a Urge quantity of

toowder, was blown off, fcut providentially the fire did not reach

the powder. We regret to add, that alter this dreadful explosion three men were, found dead, one other, whose body has not been found, is supposed to have been destroyed, and four men were severely wounded. Nsw.York, Sept. 2t. BANK SPECULATION. We are informed that two trunks of bills lately struck off for the Mansfield 'Bank, were shipped from this place last week, for Ohio, where they are to be filled up, and will probably be soon thrown into circulation. It perhaps is not generally known, that this association is nothing but a gang of swindlers, who, under the specious name of " The President and Directors of the Bank of Mantfeld," arc imposing on the community an immense amount of paper which they have, neither the disposition or ability to redeem. The amount which they have emitted is enormous; and the fraud has also proved extremely injurious to many individuals. Indeed, the public seem to suffer much more from the genuine paper of this and similar instances than from all the ingenius arts of other counterfeits. Detroit, Sept. 5. By a gentleman recently from Mackinac, we learn that the survey of the island was nearly completed. The defences at that post will be much improved this season the troops (about two hundred)

are in line order and very neaitny. Col. M'Neil having lately taken command at Mackii ac. About 150 recruits arrived at this post last Wednesday, under command of lieutenant Cass. THE WESTERN CANAL. The work of this grand project is progressing with evident appearance of a prospect of success in its final, accomplishment. The Troy Gazette states, that upwards of 500 men are at work on it ; that the excavation is already completed for about six miles, & that about 20 miles of it will be finished in the course of the present season. If this statement be correct, it must certainly prove a want of public spiiit andenterprize inour own section of country, to see so little prospect of having a Canal of only two miles, cot around the Falls of the Ohio. If 20 miles of a Canal can be completed in the state of New-York in one .seas on, it would certainly be but reasonablf to anticipate the cutting of two miles either in Indiana or Kentucky, in the course of the nexi and succeeding seasons. But to effect this object the same measures must be taken here that were in New-York. The Legislatures of, at least, Indiana and Ohio, (for it seems Kentucky will not) must make the cause their own ; the object to be effected is worthy of their attention ; they are almost equally interested

In it, and by a mutual co-opera-tion they may easily effect it. Western Spy. PEACESOCIETY. At a late Meeting of the Massachusetts Peace Society, of whkh Lieut. Governor Phillips isPresldent, letters were received and read from the Emperor Alexander of Russia, and Prince Gallic zen, in answer to others sent to them; in which they express their most hearty approbation of

the objects ot the society. jz the express request of the Prince, his name has been enrolled among the members of the Society. The Savannah Republican informs us that the Bank of the U. States has determined to establish a Branch at Augusta,in GeorIt is mentioned in a Boston paper, that Mr. Daschkoff, the Russian Minister, is about to return home, and that he is to be succeeded in his present functions by Mr. Tyll.
