CONSPIRACY AT AUG US l A. K riract from a ffff dated Oa. M5ry 19 1819. We have recently been menaced with i revival of the horrors of St Do ntingo, a conspiracy having been discovered on Wednesday morning last, which involved the distraction of the city, and the massacre of its inhabitants' Providentially, however, it has been nipt in the bud, and will there, douotless, terminate. The

plan ha.l been ne u ly matured, and its execution was to have been effected on t . ic night of Wednesday last, but fortunately, through the fears or fidelity of one of ttie negroes to whom it had leen submitted, it was disclosed bv him in time for its frustration. 1 attended the trial yesterday (atur day) of the Instigator of this diaboli-

Three suits were lately commenced, by a Delaware Bank, against the signer of a note and his two endorsers, which had been protested for non-payment. The defendants suffered judgment to go against them in the lower courts, but managed so as to carry up the rouses ;by appeal to the supreme court. The attorney for the plaintills stated his case , VY V j ted. that he had an offset to make, which was more than what he owed the bank and draw jng an od pocket 'book , r tl0m hlS hreeehes pocket, took out and laid upon the table, a fifty dollar and a twentv dol lar note of the prosecuting bank, which amounted to 11 cepts more than the demand against him.

We have been favored with the perusal of a letter from a gentleman on the Yellow Stone Expedition, to his friend in this town, dated Kansas Is land, Missouri river, March 20, 1819. The writer states that their then cantonment was 400miles up the Missouri, and it was 1400 miles further to the Yellow Stone, the end of their expedition. They furnish themselves with meat by hunting, and are paid thirtyseven and a half cents, in money, for each ration; at the place of their destination, they were to receive a dollar and a quarter per ration. Wild meal is so abundant that there is no difficulty in procuring an ample supply. At the battle of Bennington, when the armies were about to commence the engagement, the Uritish col. Baum, addressed a speech to his troops exhorting them to contend valiantly wit h (he enemy who in their white frocks were in view before them, representing them as the owners of the soil, who would fight hard to defend it.

Extract of a letter from a verv a intelligent gentleman, to hifriend in this City. I met last Sunday a man who left England lately, who told me "he was spoken to 1 a member of a Society, tin principal branch of which was iu London, and Bir Hubert Peal is president, the object ol which is to procure information of the -tate of manufactories all over the globe, and in cased where they Ultei fei e with those of Britain, to throw such ob-jl

stacles in their wav as shall be,

in the power of this Society, and the manufacturers of Greal Britain. This man was told they had agents in Hus-ia, Germany, France, Spain, ami in the United States. He obser ved they did not much fear the

going on here. lie was told, 1 that whatever information he might give, would be accept a- j ble.and any expenses he incurred in obtaining the same, fully and thankfully reimbursed. However the people and government of Great Britain may quarrel about some things, they are perfectly agreed on the im portance of manufactures all for themselves. Will the government and people of the United States not profit by such information ? Shall we ever be blind to our own interest ? Shall the peo ple of New-England am! mid die c n I States, SO competent DV their dense population and Cap-1 ital, to carry on so manv useful ! branches of manufactures, be . . . r , , kept in a slate of dependence J on mother Britain to please the the Southern planter.
