The friends of the president complain T-irierly, that he should be censored f„r the removals he is making in the country.

The NeW-Orleans Courier of Monday evening, July 13thsayst ««We have a certificate of the house surgeon of the charity hospital that there has been a number of cases of yellow fever in that institution, that there are several at this present time. We have also the assurance of another practising physician of $is city, whose candor aud veracity is beyond question, that he has had a case of the same disease. We dc^not think that it has as yet assumeoavery alarming type but caution is the mother of safety. We give the information from candid and disinterested motives."

The Mercantile Advertiser of 13th July says: "New-Orleans presents, at this moment, a most gratifying spectacle to our inhabitants, in the bustle and activity attending the erection of a vast number of buildings throughout the city. There are about one hunn dred and fifty houses now ia progress, many of which are spacious, that will be completed before the approaching winter. We rejoice at this state of affairs not more from the indication "hich it affords, of the rapid growth and prosperity of this city, than the beneficial resultswhich follow the erection of a few hundred buildings, and breaking down the enormous rents at present demanded and realized, by the holders of property."

id and of Bermuda.—This Island is, by an act of the British parliament, about to become a place of great atrength and resort as a naval depot and arsenal, for the British forces which may at any time be employed on the

A-

merican or West India station. l*pwards of eighteen hundred men were, at the last accounts, employed upon its fortifications, which, it is said, wheu completed, will be mounted with five hundred pieces of cannon. This will require a large garrison, and constitute no bad market for American produce.

Accounts were received in town, last week, by an express, of the lo«* of the regular trader of the Hudson's Bay company annually despatched with stores from l.ondon to the moutn of oltimbia river. This shipwreck took place on the bar at the entrance of the river, and we feel great pain in annotincitfg the melancholy tiding* that the whole crew, twenty six in mirnber, were, immediately after landiug from the wreck, murdered by the Indians of the ocigbborho'id. (ieorge. Simpson, Esq. the governor of the Hudson's bay company's territories, was at Fort iicorge, on the Columbia, at the time of the occurrence, and immediately despatched an express to this city in order that the company in I,ondon might take measures to have another vessel, with the requisite stores, conveyed to Columbia. This express has only beeQ four months on his way, which is deemed by the Indian traders as remartcably short. He was accompanied by governor Simpson as far as lake Winnipeg, where they parted company, the governor remaining behind, for the purpose of making his usual tour of inspection to each jx/ftt of the company, from which it is expected he will return here iu September next. We learn, from this same express, that a number of American trapper* are said to he missing, and that it i* but too generally supposed that Uiey have fallen a sacrifice to the murderous attacks of the hostile Indians.—^Montreal Gazelle.

We have been politely favored bv a friend in this borough with an extract of a letter from Com Porte», on his arrival at the city of Mexico, after the attempt to aisassin tte him The account given of this aflair by the commodore, ('iffera in some re spect from that which was publis' ed in our paper of the 14th inst copi ed from the New Orleans Argus. The cool and deliberate manner in which these villains were received by the commodore and his friend Dr Boardman, displays a bravery and firmnets, which have always marked the character of the gallant Porter whenever placed in danger

"Mexico, May 29, 1829.

I have not yet had an interview with the President, but shall to mor row when I shall settle all matters with him and return home. On my way here I had a most unpleasant and extremely daugerous adventure, but my good genius protected me as it has done on many other oc cations. Travelling with a friend, aud having no apprehension of danger, we were suddenly attacked by three banditti, being part of a gang of seven, well mounted and well armed, with their laces blackened and looking more like devils than human beings We had merely time to form a line on one side ot the road while they formed on the other. The battle commenced by their captain discharging his pistol at me at the distance of a few pa ces. I then fired and should have killed him, had not his horse thrown up his head and received the ball iu his neck. He in great rage fired a »in at rae and raised me—by this time all the pistol* »l the banditti were lUcftai£cd a* well aa tboae ol

Hi companions seeing this betftme intimidated, but after a little seeing an intention on their part to charge against me (my friend being occupied in finishing the captain who was not quite dead) I seized a small fowling piece which was in the haAd« of my servant, and compelled them to retreat, this left (is masters of the fieldWe took possession of the captain's horse, arms, &c and delivered them to the Aldcalde or Magistrate of the next village the villagers turned out armed, and gave pursuit, when soon meeting five of the gang they killed one of them It is a most fortunate circumstance for us that we did not fall in with the whole gang, if we had I should not now be alive to tell the tale. My friend (Dr Boardman) received a severe babre wound in his left arm.

Oven «v Co.

When (ireek meet# it reek, then comes the tug of war.' Gentlemen: About three years before Mr. Robert Owea gave his late theological challenge, which hah resulted in a 'drawn battle,'

published, in

the east, as well as the west, my veryfair aud candid 'memoir, containing a biblical challenge to bishop Hohart and every clergyman and, being only half a philosopher myself, little aid

ima

gine that the learning and talent of the clergy were at so low an ebb as to be unable to refute a single line of that ••memoir." Vet, so stands the history of that event at this day. i'

But, as .Mr. Owen's late challenge to the clergy has resulted in a 'drawn battle,' accordiug to the accoonts of his friends and a» 1 arn informed that he is the high priest of atheism, and Mr. (ieo. HuiHton and Miss Frances Wright are high jfruttt u( deism, while I profess to be a high jtrird of theism, fin order to he of the same rauk ana dighity,) I have ftendered to Air. Ro'^ert Owen and his two aids-de-caiup, a

theological

challenge, to be confined to the merits of atheism, d» ism and theism. I have proposed to conduct it through the me dium of Mr. Owen's friend. Houston's 'correspondent,' now published in the city of New-York, where those who feel an interest in ,the discussion, may peruse it as it progresses.

I have undertaken to show that the eriatence of a f«*oi, the immortality of the soul, and future retributions, are rational doctrine*, without the aid of any 'revelation' whatever.

Elegant specimen of American Manufacture*.—President Jackson has ordered from Me«r«. Rakewell, Page and Rakewcll, of the city of Pittsbu rgh, a sot of (ilass for his own use. That order is nearly completed. We had last week an opportunity of witnessing this very splendid exhibition of American skill and ingenuity. It consists of large and splendid bowls with aud without stands—celery glasses, pitchers, quart and pint decanters, tumblers, wine and champaign glasses, salts, tVc. Vc. the whole tastefully executed in the very best stile of workmanship. The gla»* is as pellucid as christal aud the beautiful cuttings give a brilliancy of effect not easily described. We think this specimen of American workmanship will vie with tne best productions of the French and English artists.

The Livingston Register at Genesse, New-Fork, gives the particu lar account of the death of Miss Cobb by lightning, as was mentis ed a few days ago. At the time of her sudden exit, this young lady was at the house of Mr Asa Wilder, her brother in-law, Iler sister. Mrs Wilder, who was unwell at the time, was lying on a bed Mr W was sitting in the same room where the two young people were, and his daughter near bim, when the house was struck The crash was dread ful—the windows were broken and the light extinguished. His daughter gave a frightful scream, and jumped str mgely about the room, whjle Mr. Wilder called to his sis ter-in-law, but received no answer— the storm raged furiously without, and within the darkness was total

It was sometime before he sue ceeded in lighting a candle, witb which he approached the place where Mr Griswold and the young lady were- sitting and they both remained seated in their chairs, with a kind of vacant death stare fixed upon the beholder Not a limb had been moved nor a feature changed in either, even the eyes of the dead remained gazing as if in mockery of life After some time signs of returning animation were perceived in the youn» man, and he has since so far recovered as to be able to walk aSout But with Miss it was otherwise The vital spark could not be recalled for the elec trie fluid had fallen upon her head, theniark'of which was easily traced to her right foot, the shoe of which wa- torn in pieces, thrown across the loom, and the steel buckle on the m&tep melted.
