From the Wheeling Gazette. female pa triotism. At an examination of the Franklin School, in Washington, Pa. on the 17th ult. an eloquent and patriotic address was delivered by Mrs. Katharine Dunne Morgan, after which the following resolutions were adopted and subscribed to hy one hundred and sixteen ladies, whose names are published: Convinced that the encouragement of domestic manufactures, is indispensible to the substantial interests, the permanent welfare, and real independence of the United States; and believing that a single act, will conduce more towards the accomplishment of those invaluable objects, than ten thousand H. conclusive professions. Therefore, Resolved, that we, the undersigned, will henceforward, confine our pur chases, for ti e apparel of ourselves and families, to articles manufactured within the United States. And not doubting, that those all important ends may be further promoted a cheek si veil to the destructive extravagance v. hich reigns even in the very poorest of our cabins, and multitudes withheld, or converter! from vice, hy the encouragement of learning, and by an extension of support to American manufactures, beyond the walls J our immediate households Therefore, Resolved, that w n will employ only such persons to spin. sen. knit, and weave, a, will c'oath themselves anil families, exclusively in homespun, and I appropriate a portion of the money arising from these labors, to the education of their children or relatives.

ITT" Gentlemen holding Prospectus' for this paper, will confer a favor on the IMitor by forwarding them with as lilt e delay a possible. In this paper will be found a report of the committee of foreign au'.iirs on the subject of the Spanish American Provinces. The report strictly accords with the message of the president on the subject. It not onlv furnishes another link in the chain of political evens, but is in no small decree connected with the character ot our government It is a circumstance, illustrious in its nature, that the U. States should be first to recognize the independency of thoe provinces, which have so lon struggled, though riot in vain, against the tyranny of a despotic government.

It is humorusly observed by a gentleman at Washington, that John Cleves Symmes v as near having a formidable rival for the

There may have been some extenuating circumstances connected with La. coste's outrageous offence against the rights of man, whhh merited this exer ciseofthe nier il'ul prerogative of the President ; but it appears to us that the money of the. people will he expended to little purpose, in keeping our national vessels in pursuit of the dealers in human Hrh, if when caught and convicted- at . fair tiial, they are to be panh tied, in

There is a strong jealousy growing lip in Fran ce agai ns 1 1 h e Uni ted S ta tc . The French are jealous of the comincrclel strides of this new power; and more especially of their growiug naval force, whilst the French marine has so much declined. France, has her fear of Martinique, Guadeloupe, and St. 'Domingo. She is apprehensive that America is about t(i become a formidahie power in tin. West Indies; and is perhaps alarmed least Cuba should follow the fate of the Florida?, and be ceded to the aspiring maratime ambition of America. This is unquestionably the true cause. Hut it is the policy of England, to let these matters take their course.

Vcs&rs. Carpenter and Douglass, My republishing the subjoined resolutions of a number of females of Washington, Pa. you will confer a favor on one of your subscriber'. 'I he liberal and patriotic motives which gave rise to the meeting at which those resolutions were adopted", are tbe same, which ought to characterize, not only tbe fen, ales but also the males of Indiana, ami it is to be hoped that the females of this state w ben they sec such a laudable object undertaken hy "those of an enlightened and elder state, will pursue their wise and economical example. It is tooobbustonced illustration, that the encourCpment of Domestic Manufactures is the

only Mire way to wealth, to the people of the United States, and until resolutions of

asimilar kind are adopted and persisted in, 13 vain may the people cry to their legislatures for relief, in vain may they cry for a Cecie circulating medium So fong as we r ntinue to wear the superfluities of Europe. )long may we hear tbe unwelcome crv of Jlard Times," Bat let all classes of our

It is probable that in the same length of time, we shall make as great an increase in the growth and value of sugar. Washington, .March 27. A long and very Impressive message was yesterday transmitted to Congress, the object of which is to express th views of the President in favor of that system of defence of the sea hoard, the executon of w hich has been generally suspended by the refusal of Congress, at the last session, to make the appropriations for carrying it on. The object immediately recommended to the attention of Congress, is the fortifications on the Gulf of Mexico; but the observations of the President apply equally to the general system of fortification. The subject is of much importance, and the. message takeslcomprehcnsive, profound and liberal views of it. An interesting report was made in tbe House of Representatives on Monday, by Mr. Clackledge, fiom the committee on the Public liuildings, accompanying a bill making further appropriations for the completion of the Capitol. The committee ' recommended an appropriation of 120,000: which sum it is estimated, will be sufficient to finish all tile committee rooms, and to complete tbe large dome over tbe centre Building.

From the Tialt'nvore Federal Republican. Coi.oMiuvN Kr.ri'iiMC. (in Monday we announced the receipt T Caraccas Gazettes, and IctteiM from that city, to the 23th Feb. bringing the important intelligence of the independence of Quito, and the re apture of Coo by the troops of the Colombian U-public. We have now to add intelligence, which, though not of so much importance in a pubii. poir.t of view is not hvss pleasing, as '. shows the Colombian Government to he actuated bv a roriect sense of justice, and

a libel i.l feeling descrv ing general praise. A decree has been issued ordering the foreign uiiicei s in the service of the Kepublic their hack pay, with other allowance. This will give to each of the Irish olhVcrs under Gen. I)Kvereux,and those v!io went out under the late Gen Kniish, a very handsome sum. To LtColonels, for instance, about 15000. and to other ranks in proportion. Another pleasing circumstance, and one which proves not only the saU'sfactoi-y feelings of the foreign ollicers hut th confidence they repose in the stability of

the Itev olution, is, that several have Jak en estates in Car. cas, in lieu of some part of the pee uniary rewards coming to them, and have actually at th present moment cotlee plantations in full vvork in the neighborhood of the city. The Noil and climate are. spoken of in the letters we have seen in terms of unbounded praise. An expedition was fitting nut to blockade Porto Cavello by sea, and the arri val of Com. Daniels was impatiently looked for to take the command. Tbe last accounts left Gen. D'Kvorcux at Truxillo, on his way to join the Pre .i dent. His great popularity was maui fest by much more than the usual attcn linns of the authorities and people on his route. Gen Soublett, Vice President of Venezuela, was at Valencia. C d. Lyster is chief of his staff. Lt. Col IV ooke Young another oilieer of Gen. D'Kvereux's corps, is, (with his regi mental rank) Mayor de Plaza, (Town Major) in the ciiy of Caraccas. Co. Hall, of Gen. PEvcrauxi staff, has been appointed to the topogi aphicei department, lieut. Col. t)e lleiubold com mands a battalion at Marayeabo; Maj. liovd another battalion. Lieut. Talbot has been promoted from Gen. Soublet's staff into the celebrated Bnv&ra battalion his brother Wm. Talbot, is with his battalion at Maraeaybo. In short from tbe long list of names we have seen in the letters alluded to, and similarly noticed, it appears that all the officers belonging to Gen. D'Everaux's expedition who had the good fortune to remain in the country and survive the war, have been amply provided for a fact that contra diets satisfactorily the royalist reports stating that the foreign officers had been neglec ted by the government. It is evident from w hat we have .stated, and that on the Very best authority, that the illustrious President, tbe Congress, and the

military chiefs of the country, manifest
