While there, he observed two genteel looking, well dressed boyss sitting on an opposite bench, earnestly engaged in conversation, and one of them was wiiting with a gold pencilcase. Mr. H. noticed this, as well as the dress and physiognomy ol the hoys, but saying nothing, he came on to New York, entered the police office about dusk on S tturday night, and saw Ihere Gapt.

Council of the Nation, composed of the

presided,. The Council declared it to be their unanimous opinion, and a most sound and wise opinion it unqpeslionably is, thai their people "cannot exist amidst a white pppula tion, subject to laws which they have no hand
in making, and whjch they do not understand,"
Nor could they long exist even with entire political independence, where they are sur
rounded by whites, and consequently sub-
ect to their social anq commercial influ

Elias Boudinot, in a loiter, an extract from which is given in the Southern Recorder, writes ''the meeting will have powerful ef

Short Cut from .Yew York to A'ew Ot leans
The discovery pf a fine harbor at the mouth of the Suwanec rjyer (Florida.) has given rise to many agreeable anticipations among the citjzens of rJew Orleans, which wijl douhtltss,

up the river through a beautiful caumtry, for forty or fifty miles. From thence a rail rod the route of ivli'nh was examined by the distinguished Gen. Bernard, may be constructed to ihe navigable sources of Ihe St. John's and St. Mary's Rivers, from p-iiirh the whole of the dar-gerous na igation of Cape Florida and the Gulf Stream ruing thus avoid' d, ) mav, in two or three day, coastwise, reach Savannah and ChailcMown, from which latter city again the line of" leamhoatp takes to New York, in an average of 70 to 80 hours.
