THE WESTERN SUN. VIXCEXXES, June 22, 18U. The boat which was lent up the Wabafii Tome time pafl with the United States annuity cf fait, for the Delaware Miami and Puta.vratami tribes of Indians, and a few barrels 4asa prtfent to the Prophet, has returned without having accomplilhed the main objeft ot" its. million. Having proceeded as high up as the Prophet's town, thry halted, in order leave that prt deftined for him the Prophet at firfi refufed accepting any, but detained the boat until he could have a council of his chiefs, and after detaining them two days, he feized the v.hcle quantity fent for the different tribes, agreenbly to the Orders in Council. What will be the confluence of this, outrage upon our neutral rights by the Prophet, we are not prepared to fay but tve cannot fuppofe our government will tanuly fubmit to fo flagrant a violation of th:ir fovereignty. We have no further news from the Illinois of Indian hoftility, other than that publiflied in our lad the ftitement there made, is, however, confirmed by other arrivals.

The Contrast, When neighbors dwell to gcthcr in pejee, vifit in friend Ihip, convcrfe tor ufcful knowledge or improvement, take part in each others prolpericy and adverfity, concur in the government of their families, are candid to excufe cc careful to conceal each others trivial or accidental failings, (ludious to reform real and dangerous faults, when all abide in their

callings, and quietly perform their own bufinefs, a blcfling will attend their labors, and Ibccefs will fmile on their defigns, their intercourfe will be eafy, pleafant and virtuous, and a foundation will be laid tor the happinefs of fucceeding generations. But if each is bound up within himfelf, and looks with unfeeling indifference on all around him, or beholds his inferior with contempt, and his fuperior with envy, if every meeting is filled with impertinent and angry controvcrfy, and every viht employed in tartling and backbiting, if neighbor defames neighbor, and each watches for advantages againft another, if every brother will utterly fupplant, and every neighbor walk in (landers, one had better feek a iolitary lodging in the wildernefs and dwell alone in the earth.

The celebrated M. Rovve, went one day to pay his court to the earl of Oxford, then lord treafurer of England. The earl afked him if he underttood Spanilh I mr. Rovve acknowledged he did not, but immagining that his lordfhip might intend to fend him to Spain on fome honorable commiflion, he added that he' did not doubt but in a fliorc time he might be able to underftand and fpeak it. The earl recommended it to him to do fo. Whereupon mr. Howe took his leave ; and retiring to the country applied himfelf induftrioufly to the

ltudy ot the ipanifh language After which he again waited on the earl, who afked him if he undcrfiood it thoroughly? Mr. Kovve anfwering in the affirmative, the carl exclaimed how happy arc you, mr. iiowe, that you can now enjoy the pleafurc of reading Don Quixote in the original I Bets and Oaths, Every man has his own way ot giving force & weight to what he willies fhould make an imprcflion. Some fancy they do it by ofTei ing a betothers, too many others, by uttering an oath. They are equally bad ; and are feldorn called into acTion, but to fupport what does not deferve credit, and would not otherwife be believed.
