Tiic blooming, rosy-cheeked youth cf eighteen, with prospects seemingly fair and unclouded, is no less liaole to his piralyzing touch, thm the eged and infirm, whose snowy locks, and palsied limbs naturally bespeak their near arrival to the silence of the torn'). The virtues and merit of this amiable and promising youm; womm, render the loss to her friends, peculiarly lamentable and distressing. Scarcely arrived at the age of eighteen, with the qualities and accomplishments of a more maturer age, she bid fair to have become an useful and ornamental member of society, and a shining example to her sex But suddenly the cold hand of death is laid upon her, and after a short illness of ten days, the fond expectations of an indulgent father, and the lively anticipations of a doatingly affection

Communicated." Extract cf a letter from St. Thcinas to a merchant in the city of .V:yWrk, dated June 19. 41 Four Commissioners from the Spanish Cortes have arrived at Martinique, on their way to the Spanish Main, to treat with the Independents. Wc may, therefore, shortly expect to hear very interesting hews from that quarter. it A letter from Havanna, dated June 2 1st, says u This place is very sickly many of our friends die daily. The Havana may be considered as the grave of Europeans and Americans : especially at this season of the year. " The elections, under the new constitution, are conducted with great animosity.' The Madrid journals of the Z$lh April announce that, in consequence of the inquiry instituted into the unfortunate events at Cadiz, generals Campanaand Valdcz, who were then in commind of the place, have been arrested, as also the colonels of the regiment of Guides and Loyalty, who had shewn themselves instruments in the massacre committed on the inhabitants. CITY OF CADI 3, The city of Cadiz is older than R jme London, Pans, or Vienna ; ol der than Madrid, Naples, Stockholm, St. Petersburgh, and Constantinople ; she is as oid as Jerusdem. She is after Tyre and Sidon the oldest mercantile city in the world. Vhen the pyramids in Egypt were built, Cadiz, too. was built. When Trov was destroyed, this Neptumc city was raned out of the ocean. Gades, the now Cadiz was an old colony of the Phoenician., who used this favorable situatim to build the town on account cf the trade of the west coast of Europe and Africa, which was done about 700 years before Chris?.

Extract from the charge of judge Rsos, to the grand jury ol Montiromcry county, Pennsylvania. Gentlemen cf the grand jury. I shall take the liberty ot saying a tew Wiirds on a subiect which mav not .. j - - - , seem to come propcrlv under my notice at this time. But,it is so general a topic of conversation, and has been so frequently handled in the newspapers, and pamphlets, tint I think it will not be a miss to introduce it in this place. The subject to which I allude, is, hard times. You arc here, gentlemen, from the remote parts of your county, and you doubtlcsa heard a variety of causes I

signed for these hard times. Our 1 legislature have had the subject under consideration they have talked of a loan office, of stop Taws, of a law for great internal improvements ; and a grcat variety of projects have been agitated by them ; all to obviate these hard times. But their projects are all visionary ; none of them are calculated to do the smallest good to the community. Congress, too, have been engaged in this subject ; they have thought that some great change in the tariff, some important measure for the encouragement of domestic manufactures would help us out of the dificulty. But all this is perfectly idle. These projects cant strike at the root of the matter. I may be singular in my views, but, really, 1 have thouj htso much on the subject, that I can't avoid expressing my sentiments, whatever you may think of them, t have no objections to great improvements; lam, by no means, unfriendly to our own manufactures ; but then, I think that, in order to cure the evil, ve must all act individually. Let the work of rcforma idle, is acting like the man in the Table, who when Ins waggon wheel was fast in the ditch cried for Hercules to help him, instead of putting his own shoulder to the wheel. We must help ourselves, gentlemen, and if that will not answer, why then we may call for Hercules to assist us. We arc too fond of showing out in our families ; and i:i this way our ex penses far exceed our incomes. Our daughters mustbc dressed off in their j silks and crapes, instead of their Un scy. uur young tolks are too proud I to be seenina coarse dress, and their exiravagance is onngmg ruin in our families. When you can induce your sons to preier young women lor tneir real worth, rather than for their show; .-. . when you can get them to choose a wile who can make a good loaf of

as

bread, and a good pound of butter, in The Queen's birth-day was cclepreference to a girl who does nothing brated at the different nnhlir. nffirp,.

but dance about in her silks nd her lace, then gentlemen, you may expect to see a change for the better. We must get back to the good old simplicity of former times, it we expect to see more prosperous days. The time was, even since my memory, when a simple note was good for any amount of money, but now, bonds and mortgages are thought aimost no security ; and this is owing to the want ot confidence. And what has caused this want of ? ivi,., I

by the extravagant manner of living ; llan histlewood, son, and othby ycur families going in debt be- cr witnesses were examined m sup-

yond your ability to pay. Examine thismatter, gentlemen, and you will find this to be the real cause. Teach . your sons to oe too proua to riac a hackney which their fathecannot pay i . t t tor .et tnem oc above oeinsr seen sporiing in a gig or a carriage which their father is in debt for. Let them have this sort of independent pride, and I venture to say, that you will soon perceive a reformation. But, until the change commences in this way in our familes ; until we begin the work ourselves, U is vain to expect better times. Now, gentlemen, if you think as I do on this subject, there is a way n L i-ln-....u flint- I'M I . I itiinU i-X and but one way ; Wnen you rc turn to your homes have independence enough to put these principles m practice and I am sure you will not be disappointed. HUKTSV1LLE, ALAD. JUNE 16. Sales oj Public Lands. On Monday the 5U lust, commenced the sales ol public lands at the places heretofore known by tne name oi M'Uamci's Ferry, York Blufi and Biir during the former was sold in tractions, the two latter in town lots. I he 1 1 actions and many of the town lots were bid oft' at a small advance on the irovernment price, noac ottnc latter going higher tnan SO dollars. On the 8th day the Receiver and Re gister stopped the sale uitil further orders from Washington, having dis posed ot only 19, out ot 665 lots, at the Bi Spring. We undcrstanu this extraordinary measure was adopt - cd trom the supposition, that the loU were purchased by a company of i ecntlemen, who were determined not to bid against each other. Keiub.

CHKAP Many and CORONATION, very iust comnlainb have lately been made, respecting the waste of public money occasioned by the preparations for his present Bii tanic Majesty's coronation It has been urired that, in the present im poverished state of that country when the people are nearly exhaust cd with contributing to the wasteful extravagance ot the government, v would have been better to employ tin hundreds of thousands of dollars thus the starving people, who arc obliged to pay the expense ol this ostenta tious mummery. I think so too and therefore send you the following simple and cheap modes of anointing and crowning a King, as ancientlv practised in one of the Biitish Isles. It is extracted from the ninth page ot Sir James Ware's Antiquities of Ireland. " The whole people of the country," says Sir James, ' being assembled, a white beast was set in the midst of them, to which t he candidate making his approach, like the beast, on all lours, prolesscd him pecies, and boiled, he bathed himself m acauldronol the broth, prepared for him, and together with the nconlc, feasted upon the flesh of the beast, and drank of the same broth - wherein he had been washed, puttinghis hips to it, without any vcsel, or use ot his hand ; which dune, his kingdom was confirmed to him. - ln the coronauon of Onsale, an olo shoe was put vcr his head, kc."
