upoa thear, and from the best cakuia^|fc lion we can make, the whole extent of *?the cession is not less than 2000,000 of acres, and perhaps amounts to 3000,000.

The Tract upon Lake Michigan is esaenti&l to the interest of Indiana for

The IT.

Pecuniary claims have in like manner been liquidated and allowed.—The ne cess&ry schedules exhibiting a full view of these subjects, are herein enclosed It in only necessary to add, in relation to them, that without consenting to this i»rr*nerroent,aH oor efforts would have been useless.

We have also agreed, as the accompanyitjg exhibit w»H shew, to purchase •twimasianiber 01 indivMuals tlih tracts granted to them bv the treaty of 5?t. Warv's. The Ivnri amnnnts to '6,720 acre*, and S25.780 are to be paid for it. These are the principal circumstances connected with this negotiation, and with the treaties which Have results ed from it, that we deem it important to snhmit to y«u. We have -never lost right of theinterest of the United State* nor have we forgotten that we were treating with a poor miserable peoplt* the feeble remnant uf the former own ew of the country a people who have sustained many injuries Irum us, and who have many^claims npon our justice aad humanity We deemed it no part of oar duty to^wess them to-the ground. To procure their country far the least possible price, we have allowed them a consideration more valuable than the eeouen 4hey have made. ITie game is nearly exhassted, and tliere is little -afse which tbey can derive from it In doing this, we believed we were-consul-. ting tbe views of our government and the feelings and opinions of our conn try. We shall he happy to find that ourcOmkict has been approved, and that thatreaty has been ratified Cer tosn*e are, that another or a better one wiH not be procured, without puraumg a system which we trust will find lew advocates.

The unsurpassed fertility and variety of soil, the numerous and permanent, water privileges, cannot fail to attract the attention of the agriculturalist, and the manufacturer. While our Prairies will produce Cotton, our streams af ford power to propel machinery to man ufature It, can there be doubt but we shall draw men to us «rbo possess the "will And] power" to improve them?—

From the Western Sun of No*. 11. This place was visited on Monday last, about 12 o'clock by a most violent storm of wind, rain aud hail—it was certainly a tompest ofgrea te violence than I ever recollect to have seen It .only continued a-few minutes, but was very destructive two sides of the new large Roman Catholic Cathedral, was prostrated to the ground tbe Steam Mill unroofed, and the gable ends blown in— besides a number of buildings unroofed and some blown entirely'down—I have not. heard of any lives having been lost.

Quincy Rail Road —ThisJlail Read, said to be the first in this country, wasi opened on the 7th mst The- experiment was very justly a matterof general interest. A quantity of stone weighing sixteen tons, taken from the ledge belonging ro the Bunker Hill Association, and loaded on three waggons, which together weighfive tons, Hiaking a load cf 21 tons, was moved with ease by a single horse, from Nepwiset Bridge, a distance of more than three lis ties—The road declines gradually, the whole way, from the quarry to the tanding, hat so sHghffty that the horse conveyed back the empty waggons, making a load of five tons. After the starting of the load, which required some exertion, the hor^e moved with ease in a fast walk It may therefore easily be conceived how greatly the transportation of heavy loads is facilitated by means of this road.

The Bston Daily Advertiser -contains the following description of the road, which may furnish hints to future efforts: *'The road i» constructed to the most substantial manner, it rest* on a foundation of stone laid so -deep in the ground as to be beyondthe reach of frost and to secure the rails -on which thecarriage run*, effectually against any change of their relative posi tion, they are laid upon stones of eight feet in length, placed transversely along the whole extent of the road, at distances of six or eight feet from each other. The space between these stones is filled with smaller stones or earth, and over the whole, between the rail, gravel path is made. The rails are termed «f pme timber, ©n the top 0, which 4s placed a bar of iron. The carnages run upon the iron bars, and are kept in place by a projection on th# inner edge of the tire of the wheels.

The wheels are of a size considerably »#rger than a common cart wheel.^ Albany Argus.

We are favored with extract of a letter from gentleman at Carthagena.

Carthagena Sept. S6, We bad yesterday a messenger from Bolivar. He came from Quito by the way of Panama, and proceeded in a man of war for Porto Cavelloand La Guayra The object of his mission is to call a meeting of the peuple^n every town, and if the majority wish a convention called before 1830, to take into consideration a change of government, the President intends to yifld to th»r wishes ,' ••Bolivar hw ^had a good deal of trouble at Quito. ,(le has been compelled to-shpot about one hundred ipen and tn-hang a good many W** teted at»d said,**Long live.PerdiQatyl,^ &c«—Bolivar has pledged ihimseft to bei at Bogota oh the 44th sf October/'-* ^Mescaiktile...

A -conhxjversy between the National intelligencer and Enquirer, upon theuld ground of State Rights, has induoed the latter to renew his .attach apon. the principles of the President, and the? former to institute a vindkatory comparison between them, and -pur most orthodox Presidents, Jefferson and. Madison, as "declared in their -various* public messages. We,have often asserted, and bow reiterate the assertion that not one doctrine is advanced, or measrire recommended, in the so much: reviled message of. Mr. Adaina to the last Congress, which hae not been idis-

tinctly, and more than once advanced and recommended, 'by Jefferson ^and JMatlison in %heir message*Strip, the message of-all three *f*he^rape?3f of language—judge theiru.»entimehts. by the plain import }f Words—and the/ will all three be found to mean,pre* cisely the same thing—encouragement to manufacfures—encouragement o('In4ernal Improvement—ami to all oiher subjects lending to-advance the inter* esti happiness and illttmination of the peopleeftheUnited States. We readily grant that this concurrence of sen4iment,sannot make that right, .which is wrong in itself—that even tbe "names ot Jeffergon and Madison cannot sanc» tion a violation of the Constitution! ofr a depaiture from its true and obviot)S|r spirit. But ot^ght it not at least) disarm opposition of part of its asperity? When We see particular!/,:f* same men silently acquiescing ip/ ®1* openly applauding under the attoww"" tration of Jefferson and JWsfliso®* measures which theyv revile of unmeasured abuse, under Aua®% have we not a right to suspect the ^?u" rity of the motives which -dictate th® censure, and to enquire if all this pr«* tended and outragerus patriotism a*a tenderness for .the Constitution, is not in fact, prejudice, disappointment and ambition in a virtuous disguise It is impossible not to suspect it is impossible not to believe, at least, that these, feelings largely predominate. There may be contictioti of the impoli* cy and unconstitutionality -of the disputed powers, mi ted with the other considerations—but these last dip ths arrows of" controversy in peisen» and direct their flight. The wonder ifl» that this conviction had not sinner found its way to the opinions of men— that when Jefferson Madison and^Mon* roe recommended a road, a tariff, ot an observatory, "they had not Men charged as Mr. Adams has been charged with usurpation, encroacbtfl^nU consolidation and corruption.
