C. or the Consul General in New York, with in three months from the present date It is un-Jerstood that this notice doe: not apply to those subjects of Poland, who. since the restoration of legal or der in the Ki-gdotn. have received per r. i:-sifn to ro or to eei.tinue to reside a-e;-oad, and who are furnished with the proper passpc.rs for that purpose.'" It would seem from ttie foregoing, that the uioitunate Poles are to be precluded from finding a resting place even in this last refuge of the numan race. The) cannot reside in peac e even in the bosom of the United Stales u-les they first obtain permission from the imperial Russian Legation! They must either receive a passport to leave their wrvtched country, or they must ask pc,-riissi-j to remain out of it afterwards. The. quest ion naturally occurs, whether this interference with emigrants tothis country, who are neither criminals nor outlaws, is not an encroachment upon the spirit of our institutions and the laws of the land, which permit them to reside here without ask ing the consent ol the '-imperial Russian Legation?" Is it not attempting to set up something like an Lnpcrium in Imperii)? Suppose every other Potentate in Europe were thus to claim jurisdiction or assert the right of sovereignty over all the emigrants in the United States from their dominions, arid require them to oh,y.jtt rmis$ion to reside here, would not tiiis place us in rather an aw kward predicament? The principle adopted by us is, that the -itr- : every Government have an inherent right to expatriate themselves whenever they please. In support of this principle we went to war with England, nnd I iow is it that our Government now sutler the accredited agent of Russia to issue his edict from Washington requiring "all subjects of the kingdom of Poland, who wish to prolong their stay in this country," ' "to from catain pe.rr.;ssion to that ellect" r I thitr the edict conveys more than was tr-ted -d. or more than our Government should ufTer to pas unnoticed. and his son the Proph'tp;,d his son, and the other Indian l.o-tages surrendered under the late treaiy. waited 01 the President yester-d-.v. to receive his orders. The Presid nt met tin m kindly. He directed the ar.icl. s ol dress provided for them to be exhibited to them, and told the prr;eip;i! chief that i he hole would be d'hveted to him to be distributed with a view to their common comfort that they must repair immediately to Fort Monrocand remain there contented, until he rave them permission to return to their homes that the term of their de tention depended upon the conduct of their respective tribes and that tliev w.uld not be restored to their families until it was ascertained that the stipulations of the treaty had been complied with by their people, and all the b id feelirg which had led to the bloody scent: on the frontiers banished. The Prophet replied to the President, and said, that they expected to be permitted to return immediately to their people; that the war in which tliev had been involved, grew out of their attempt to raise provisions, where they suposed they had a right to do so; that they had lost many of their people, as well as the whites; that their tribes and families were n jw exposed to the attacks of their enemies, the Sioux and Meromitif es, and that they hoped to be permitted to return to take care of them. Rlaek Hawk added to the remarks tt Ihe Pro; het, that they considered, that, like Keotm k, they had come to visit the Prrs;dent. and, like him, would be permitted to retnm to their homes. He entered int.) some biief explanation of the cause of the aggressions on the frontier. The President told them in conclusion that he was well apprized of the circumstances v i ich led to the disasters alluded to; that it was unnecessary lo look nacK 10 inem ;i was ns pur pose now to secure the observance of peace; to prevent the frontiers from h'-i: g again stained with the blood of its inhab iarts, the peaceful and help-le-: tba they need feel no uneasiness ,-vboiit their own women and children; thy should rot sufS r from their enen ies, the Sioux and Menominees. He meant lo compel the red men to be at pear? with eah other, as w ell as w ith theic white neighbors. That lie had

taken measures with this view, and

- - . when it was ascertained that thev were ttiectual when the tribes had learned: jlhat the power they attempted to conkimiu wtiu was i-quauy auie ana aispopeople in particular, were convinced of this, and were disposed quietly and in good faith to observe the terms of peace granted to them, then they would be restored to their families. He, then, gave his hand to the chiefs and dismissed them. Black Hawk is not an ill-looking man. His countenance is intelligent and not savage. The Prophet, we think, has more the look of the mischief-maker, a id. indeed, he assumed to be the prin cipal in the interview with the I'resident. He was, wc suppose, the instijjator of the massacres perpetrated on ihe frontier. His utterance and man ner, as well as bis cou.tenance, indica ted a dark and ferocious character. Glob:.

The prisoner is committed here, and the witnesses are in attendance for that purpose.

York, has excited considerable interest abroad, and voluntary aid has been offered in several instances to bring the principle to the test of a legal is?ue.

HERALD OFFICE, Montreal, April 23, IS33. $ DrarSir: The British American Hotel, in this city, was burnt to the groxind last evening. The Messrs. Hermans' were about giving a concert at 8 o'clock. The large ball room.capable of holding 500 people, was prepared, and the anti-room to it, had been previously decorated with brandies in imitation of an arbour, in w hich Captain Rack the. previous evening received the company who attended the dinner given to him by the citizens of Montreal. About a quarter before eight variegated lamps were lighted, and in an instant the boughs, which were le from the previous evening and perfectly dry,caughtfire,and presented, before you had time for reflection, one mass ot dame. Capt. Luckin, formerly of the fire department of this city, instantly closed the large folding doors, and we had no means of escape but by the windows, which were four stories high in the rear and three stories in the front. There were at this period only i gentlemen and about 27 ladies present. The cries and shrieks w ere appalling. The flames soon burst into the room with an indiscribable fierceness, while we were expecting instant death. At this critical moment a ladder was raised to one of the front windows, and miraculously we all escaped. Had it occurred a quarter of an hour later there would have probably been three hundred persons in Ihe room, and in that case, few could have been saved. Nothing but the walls are standing. Insurance about $ 42,800, u ponthe building and furniture. The consternation in the citv was indiscribable: knowing that so many lives were exposed but we have not heard of any one having perished. Some have been severely burnt, amongst whom we hear is one of the Herrmans. I write in great haste. w ith a mind horrified by the scene, and thankful for the escape of myself and lamily.

The pistols had been placed at Ihe. bottom of the carriage with a mail oag over them. When the stage arrived at Bristol, the guard Mr. George Hilson, or Washington, our informant not being certain which, took hold of the bag to remove it to the other stage, and as be raised it, one of the pistols wa discharged by the motion. The young man received the contents in his head. A ball passed throtigh his cheek. directly upwards through the roof of his mouth, and lodged. Two buckshot were found in his forehead and another in the lower part of face. He was vet living when our informant left Bristol. and we understand that Dr. McClellan left the city immediately, to see him The unfortunate young man hears an excellent character, and is much es

was inspired by his absence, as it was supposed be had gone to lodge at the Institute, or with some friend in the neigh borhood. Several days elapsed without a!y notice being taken of his absence. Feeling surprised however at not hearing from him, the lady with whom he boarded mentioned his sudden singular disappearance. A search ... was immediately comr enced, and in consequence of some circumstances;

(not conclusive however.) two blackjther ran ; old and young, male and fe-

men were arrested. One of them was. .1 : 1 .1 il. . ,1 . i . j discharged the other detained in cus tody, until further scach or confession had elicited more certain information. Since his examination the excitement has painfully increased, by further disclosures from this black man, whose name is George Hazard. He now states that on Saturday succeeding the disappearance of Froth; ngham, he was hired by a certain tavern keeper in Whitesboro' to take the body of Frothingham to this city and throw it into the Mohawk. He states that he took the body late in the night, from the hay-loft of this man, into a single horse wagon, and brought it to this cil v. and threw it into the river from th lower bridge,knownas Miller's bridge. There were, as he declares, no weights attached to the body, the feet only being tied together. Immediately on the dis closure ft his confession, great numbers came from Witesboro', and together with other persons from this city,! Commenced dragging the river below the bridge. The testimony of the negro was confirmed by the appearance of blood on the wagon, whip, and harness. We are not however sufficiently informed as to Ihe testimony, to state that it was consistent throughout. The tavern keeper referred to has been placed under keepers. The i terest which has been felt by the citizens in this vicinity, has been increased by minute examinations of the letters of Frothingham, and inquiries as to his character and circumstancees. His famdy reside in Salem, Mass. and are respectable and in good circumstances. The letters addressed to him

by different members ofhis family alljceive nothing of equal grandeur, and

f. j exhibit a deep and affectionate anxie !. 1 - ... . ... iy lor nis wenare; and the letter winch he had commenced to his father, a few moments before he disappeared, breathes a spirit and displays a disposition calculated to keep alive the intense interest which already pervades this part of the country.

The Secretary ofTreasury gives public notice that, in the late conflagration of the Treasury building, nearly all the correspondence of the Secretary of the Treasury, from the establishment of the Department to fee 2lst of March. 1833, was destroyed; including, as well the original letters and communications addressed to the Secretary of the Treasury, as the records of the letters and communications written by him.

" About midnight we were roused from our births, and desired to repair on deck. We did so; and what a scene presented itself! Each one of us as he steped upon deck, stood silent and amazed, appalled, yet delighted, fie were Jloating upon a sea of fire! The wind was nnsk and the waves high, but each wave tindled into a liquid and floating conflagration ; it sparkled and flowed iiKe molten iron; and as the crest of the wave broke and fell, it seemed a shower of fire. The sky was rolled with r louds, and the night dark; yet in the reflected glare of the sea, the highest rope in our rigging was plait ly perceptible. We were awe-stricken. It seemed, in the silence and fcarfulness of the moment, that we were careering in our lonely way upon an infernal ocean. As far as the eye Could reach, the sea presented the same glowing appearance, heaving and flashing, and throwing its deep red glare far up into the misty dark air. It was awful, vet most oeauiuui. Mv imagination can conmy pen is unequal to the task of it des cription.
