THE CANAL at this p'a{$ is advancing with spirit towards a tin:' completion The severity of the wir ter, the wetness the spring, and th high water of this season, have necessarily retarded the work for the la«t five or six months. With the return of a better season for it, the various uborsare pushed on with renewed vsj, »r *nd an increasing force. .The ex cavation of the earth is well advanced ind the enterprising contractors are only waiting for the water to fall a little more, when they will commence the rock, at both ends.—Their force, ,ve understand, has "increased1 rapidIj. and is now estimated a 1000 men. It is iht ir intention to employ as many as they can place on the work and as, they give good wages, and pay the cash promptly, it is hoped there will be no lark of hands In that case, they are very sanguine, that they will be able to complete the work in due time, and have the canal navigable in the ensuing season, if the usual continuance of low water should be enjoyed in the present year. Stone has been prepared for the locks, and the greater part of it brought by the aid of a steam boat from the juai rv, several miles down Mie river, and deposited on the banks, where it is to he used. The preparations for making the water-lime, to be used in the construction of the locks, are well advanced, I'lie hands are healthy, and there is a flattering pros p'jeto! a rapid progress in the.work.

Wadtson, (Ta) May. 24, FATAL ACCIDENT.

At a Drill Muster of the commissioned and non-commissioncd officer* of the 6th Regiment la. militia, held at this place on Friday and Saturday last, an unfortunate accident occurred On Friday night an encampment was formed, and camp duty done during the night. A Mr. George IV I'armenler, who lived in this pUce, was sergeant of the guard ,and when going round to the sentinels, and while in the act of giving one of them the counter sign, leaning over the muzzle of the uu of the sentinel, the gun being naded with powder and a Wud of tow ir paper, accidently went off and shot l.im just below the pit of the stomach, and iie expired in a lew hours after, this accident should prove a lasting wai niug to all who handle guns in lu are, to be extremely cautious.

The tariff bill in 1824 passed the of Representatives, with a duty of 4 1-2 cents per yard on cottou bagging. When brought before the senate, a southern member, Mr. Macon, moved to strike out this duty. ^Gen. Jackson voted for striking it out. and it was struck out. The bill was scut back lo the bouse thus amended that is, without any duty on bagging The house wjuutd nat agree to the amendment, and sent it again to the senate. On motion that the senate should recede from their amendment, and agree to the duty Gen. Jackson again voted against the (juty—thus showing a resu.ute determination to oppose it., I he uuuae then requested a committrt ol conference.

From the Salemtiazette, Mutj ilo FROM CALCUTTA, Through the politeness of Capt. Endicott, of the ship George, arrived at this port, we have received copious file of the India Gazette and the Benga Herkaru, to the 27 th January.

An earthquake took place at Calcutta. on the 19th of January, but it is not stated that any damage was done.

It has been proposed to establish a new pap.er at Malacca, in the Chinese language, in which the latest news from China will be inserted The Calcutta papers say that, considering the number of Chinese now resident in the three settlements of Pinang, Malacca and Singapore, and that they are almost all able to rea4, the undertaking will probably succeed, and if well conducted, may not only be very useful to them, but contribute greatly to afford to Europeans a much more accurate knowledge of that people than they at present possess

The Maiacca*Ob6erfrer, a paper recently established, furnishes some translations of little importance from the Chinese Gazette, and observes, There is a sullen silence preserved in them concerning the rebellion ol the Mahommedan tribes The local government however is said to consider it in every way a serious national calamity. If suppressed the effect will be ruinous: and some individuals who read the stars, think the dinasty is drawing to a close The replies of his Majesty to memorials on national affairs contained in the Ga zette are very laconic, su as. Record the document." "Be it so." I know it"

PERSIA.

We understand, says the edifor of the Bombay Gazette, by a letter from the Gulf of a recent date, that a Persian Chief named Mouslopha Khan, brother in-law to the King of Persia, at t!ie head of si* thousand troops, was marching towards Triflees (in Ganjah) and, meeting an encampment by the way, approached it, in order to reconnoitre and pillage it, if deserted no sooner h^.d he entered it, however, than suddenl) a troop of Russians sillied forth from different direction- and put to the sword the whole of the army, with the exception of the leader, and a few follower", who -.rro'vly escaptd and took refuge at the head quarters of Abbas Meerza. who at the same time 1 was engage 1 in battle with the inhabitants of Shoosh, (a city in Arminia.)

The Russian troops closely pursuing the enemy, met the grand army of Abbas Vleerza and fought them with great slaughter, in such a manner that Abbas Meerza was obliged to ask an imrned:ate succour of the troops that were stationed at Ganjah, who immediately came to the assistance of the Prince Royal. The Persians at last giv' way to the conqueror, dispersed, and Abbas Meerza, after leaving the enemy "sole master of his garrison and twenty pieces of cannon, made his escape The

Kussians finding the city of GanjaJ wholly deserted, entered it without the least blood shed." 7

Later accounts from Bombay, given in the India Gtzette, offer the following confirmation of this account:

A despatch from our resident in Persia came in this morning, announ cing the total defeat of the grand Persian army by the Ru sian General Helmadoff, with a force of ten thousand men, and that He had employed his artillery alone, making his adversaries •scamper off with great loss and slaugh ter He is expected soon to be at Tabriz, and General Yermaloff has got as far as Tehron. No doubt was entertained but the Russians would overrun Persia: the consequences it is not easy to foretell, but the correctness of thfe above may be depended upon

The editor of the Gazette says:

We have understood that the King is personally opposed to tjie war, and that it may be considered as the result ofa popular clamor, caused by the circumstance of the King having in general

terms

stated, that the Russians ought

not to remain in possession of the ground they occupied before the war, being ta ken up and fully commented upon by the Moulevees and Moollas*. These generally bigoted persons fosiered the wishes of the malcontents, who were .AISO excited by Prince Abbas Meerza, who panted for war and glory like a se cond Hotspur 1 he King, in the end although aware of the impolicy of the #ar, and although anxious to manage affairs prudently and cautiously, so as to avoid a rupture with a powerful foe, iound himself unable to resist the war faction, who accordingly carried on matters their own way. The result, wi ifear, is likely to prove disastrous to th* independence of the Persian Mouar e,hy. Should the Russians reach our rontiers, as the Cossacks have but a. aadefined idea, we believe^ joL right and iit '.i Hk
