THE WESTERN SUN,

r r r r r s ' s s VINCBNNB8 : SATURDAY Morning, June 21 s r r 0 -r It is no doubt within the recollection of our readers that a statement left by Mr. Hall for publication some weeks si. n e, was not inserted because it had not been solemnly authenticated This, e conceived proper, not because could entertain any doubt of Mr Hail being a gentleman of strict integrity and unequivocal veracity but it was because a public conversation had taken piace respecting the letter he had addressed through the medium of this piper, to Jonathan Jennings and as Mr. N Ewing was in olTicr here, and Mr. Hall almost a stranger it required n his part, or rather seemed to require in the opinion of some, more than mere rords, to explain satisfactorily the whoie transaction, and the agency of the men he had arraigned Mr Hall has since ought upon the matter as we had, i r i t . i i to publish the statement and oath in this days' paper. For ourselves wc have been fully satisfied respecting the entinel and its abettors, from another source ; and as the people are fully apprised of our opinion, we need make but a very few remarks upon the matter. In a country like this, where but a very few years ago, one chief care of its Inhabitants was to gmrd their families and themselves against the scalping knife k tomhawk, we would rejoice at the Increase of independent establishments, for the public good and information vc Could witness and aid with much satisfaction, in a country that was, when we first settled in it, just emerging from fcavagC thraldom and beginmg to enjov the comforts of an extensive civilized 'soc iety, the establishment of independent p esses, to gUard and protect the liberties and rights of the people but when wc discover those a ho have got power in t;H-ir hands for the present, taking from the upright and virtuous endeavours of an individual, the means and labours by which the people would certainly be enlightened, and establishing presses Of their own this too, for the express purpose of imposing themselves longer Upon us. it is our duty to apprise tins community- and the people at large of such unhallowed workings. All we have heretofore said respecting this Centinel, can now be tested, and we leave our fellow citizens to judge for them selves. The rights of everv citizen, as freemen of a free state, are concerned iti this question if they will resign their judgements and opinions, to the man whom chance has made governor for t ie present, they will disappoint themselves and injure the best interests f their posterity. Let them act as becomes freemen, and discard the vassals who would entice them to such submission. We all know that party power in most cases disappoints the hopes of the people (except indeed the retainers who want to be served at the peop:es expenrc") but if the people will do as they should, indignantly frown upon such anti-republican ami clandestine endeavors then party spirit, for the aggrandizement and protection of avaricious demagogues cannot become preaient nor can it ever with the uninfluenced aid of the people, convert a patriotic and honorable pit: suit, into a servile vassalage for their own protection. 'en Without merit, and without vworm, couio on-.v attempt to impose i i - . lemselves upon the people bv such means. We close for the present bv recommending to our readers Mr. Hall's solemn statement as it regards the establishment of this Centinel press. COMMUN1C VI lOW Mr. EoiToa, ludicrous piece above the signature of Pail ) Reflector,' ushered forth in the Centinel of last evening seems in tende for your columns also. I hope vou will not trsnsnlant it from the conirein d sod in which it has appeared there t such verbiaee rest. The writer mav o b. a Pkih but certainly is no Hejiectot j ridicule, not argument, shall be his merited portion if you publish a dish shall be served for the next paper, probably not at 4ft eapence, t ony fear he may not find enough remaining to repay the intended compliment. If a physit i m be an imftnster because lie sjs he understands the tmue of (ttas)Of because lie cannot write grani-

mat'cally, or because he solicits p i onfidence and favor it is a disco that shall be made to immortalise this cond (ralon in physic, politicks and wit he shall certainly be rewarded for it with 4 cucumbers next fall" -or next week, if you permit, he shall have some u shoe nails and shavings." But he has made another important discovery, which I acknowledge 1 know not at this moment how I may reward Vet rewarded it shaM be that u the merit and demerit of the" people may be judged without either moral or religious restraints. This is as he desires it well, no doubt 'twould suit him. The man who will proclaim a reference to k sacred history" and " scriptural precepts," u blasphemous profanity," must think our ignorance 4 such as to invite imposition" but he shall be made a mark for the finger of ridicule and scorn, whether he k thinks he has a knowledge of the cause or not. MAR US. New York, Mav 23 New Invention. On Saturday the 24th inst. at 6 o'clock, P M. (if mode rate weather) an experiment will tta J made f om the North Ba.tery, near tpSJ) state prison, to propel a ooat against tn, tide of the Hudson river by mechanism. The boat is flat, and sufficiently large to carry five or six persons conveniently. The proprietor of the invention will be cn board with two other persons, one of whom will with the greatest ease, perform the whole operation, He has already obtained a patent right for the same Georgetown, (Col ) May 9. We understand that a ship load of stocking looms and Swiss weavers ar rived in Washington a few days sin 4 where they propose to form an establis ment, Which has for its object the man facturing of cotton and woolen hosiery, knit pantaloons, petticoats, under waistcoats, Berlin lace, and tulie for ladies' dresses. We learn with pleasure, that the banks have been liberal in their promises of support to this industrious and aiuable little colonv. A twin diet taught A man by the i name of Morrill Magoon, has been de tected in Montreal, in endeavoring to pass a United States bank note, altered i from g 10 to 81000, The impression of the &10 had been extracted by some chimical operation, and so nicely done as to render it almost impossible to detect it. From the Boston Patriot, NEW REPUBLIC. A late paper predicts that thoJ new minister from Pernambuco will meet a "cold reception at Washington." We undertake notwithstanding, to predict WW licit reverse : and have no he in believing that this distinguished gentleman will he most eordiallv received hv the President. 6c every member of the administra tion. The cause of South American Independence is as dearin reality, to the government o the lT. States as to the people The laws of nations compel the government, in its public acts, to a neutral course : hut all its svm pat hies are in favor of the patriots tv e trust tne time is rapiun proachtng when no disguise he necessarv ; when the new a world will he entirely relieved from the shackles of the old ; & when the standard of Independence will triumphantly wave, from the extremity of Hudson's Ray to the remotest regions of Patagonia Let Europe continue to groan, if they choose, beneath the pressure of regal tyranny, hut let tne lioUlcs ot Libert vstablish a permanent empire regions of the West. By appointing so distinguished a gentleman as minitter to the U. Bsates a-one of its first official acts, the provisional government

of Pernambuco has paid a greftf

compliment to the U. States l l l I J j r unueibianu luueea, irom van sources, that t! e most friendly sentiments exist in the bosoms of the inhabitants of Brazil towards this Republic, its people and institutions. Setting gratitude aside and the partiality we naturally feel for those whose objects and opinions coincide with our own, the friendship of the patriots of Pernambuco may at no distant day be important in a commercial point of v iew. Every thing which f as a tendency, however remote to aid our commerce, ought to be cherished with peculiar assidu ity. Savannah. May 15. The schooner Mary Ann, (of Charleston) Captain Hill, am ved here to day, in seven days, from Hav ana. The French frigate Eurydice and a gun brig arrived there 1st instant from Martinique. Accounts by this vessel state that there are a number of American and British seamen now in prison at Havana, taken on board Carthagenian priva teers ; and about the first of this month one of the Consulado fleet, formerly the Chasseur brig, sunk a small vessel of the Patri ots ; the whole crew being killed i or drowned except eighteen ; these were brought to Iavanna and thrown into prison, where it was supposed they would perish from want. Captain Gore, of the British government brig Saracen, had applied to the Spanish authorities for the release of certain British subjects confined in prison, but could not obtain their liberation.
