Qd Fw;d It appears by the notice of C. Ilatiis j.i, which we this day pub liih from the "Indiana Farmer," that no put of the road fund Ins yet come to his h inds vc hope it may remain un toiler 1 u ;til the next meeting of our legi 2i ,iurc.

Gen J Jit (libhm died lately at Hraduock's Fields', near ! ittsimrgh, in the 3 Jn:ivear of his age. He was one of the e.trlitst settlers of Pennsylvania and serve 1 under Gen. Forbs At the cnelusinn of the campaign, he resigned and remained hi Pittsburgh as an Indian trader. Gen Gt'-Mi acted a very conspicuous part in i 77 under lord Dunm-jrc in e!tvting the treaty which produced the r leivic of many prisoners from savage captivity.

The bill reported by the committee cf retrenchm. nt. on Wedr.csday last, in the house of repi -'S'Muatives, u to reducthe annual compensation of certain officers of government, " provides that the

following sums shall be hereafter paid to the officers of vovernment below enumer

ated, as an annual conpensi'ion, viz : To the Secretaries of State, Treauty, War, and the Navy, 5,000 dollars each : to the Attorney General of the United S 'es, 3iC)0 dallars, to the first Comy dler, of the tr.au'y, 2 8 ) ) dollars, to the second Compp'o ler, tin, five au

ditors of the Treasury, the Treasurer, ;' the Register of the Treasury, rod Commissioner of 'he G -aural Land Oific.e, ' 2,400 dollars each ; to the superintendant of the Patent O dice, 1250 dollars ; tothe superinlendant of indian trade, 1 ,600 dollirs; to ach of the Navy Commissi i ivms, 2. Boo do'lars ; to the Librarian of C .'lgrcss, 1,250 dollars; to the Post blaster G ncral, 3,200 dollars ; tocarh Assistant Post Master General. 2 ooo t the Cleik emplovd in the office 800 debars; to the Clerk employed in the OHic of the Surgeon Genera!, 9 20 dollars; to the clerk employed in the Ofike of the ttorney G -neva' 640 dollars; nd to the Clerks emploed in the various other Departments of the government the sums now allowed bv law, after deducting twentv p-r cutum from Ihc aanount thereof. .Var Int. From rh .V tj Y-irk JJvrfizer. Considerable excitement Aists at the present time in the country imd in Conjres, on th.e subject of the great numb r f public defaulters Very large sums of money appear on the hoiks of the treasury department to be due to the nation, audit would seem that no very ef.ficaciou measures have hitherto been pursued for their collection A scries of cssavs appeared in the course of the last year in a Baltimore paper, mentioning a m eat number ol cases of this description, and some of them ol a flagrant character: These pvibii a'ions excited no attention or curiosity as they first appeared peculations of the kind had become rather matters of course the amount of the appo'.ogy was, that all governments have unfaithful agents, by whom their money is misapplied and not accounted for, that we are not worse off in this les-

pect than all other nations, and thtretore the subject is not worth the trouble of enquiry or examination thai it is, in s'ort a sort of unavoidable evil that governments must be plundered, and the only way is to submit with as good a grace as may be. 1 ne subject, however, appears to lave, ut last, made a deeper impression n pen the minds of members of the house of Representatives, and some resolutions have been turned in that body, having immediate relation to a remedy in future for the michcif The resolution by Mr Kirk tin 1 of this state, if discussed befo j the II oiise, will afford a fair "opportunity to test the principles of men who ate desirous of tui ning breaches of trust into feionie The plan has been to select the ea-c of the bank, for the purpose ot enpo'bng this new offence in the criminal cede. But the motion of Mr Kirkland may enlarge the scheme, and introduce a much more numerous body ot men the whole phalanx of public agents, into Mhose hands the public moneys have he-- n entrusted, and by whom they hav been misapplied We already see a dis position beginning to shew itelf to scorn down pmpo -ition to scrutinize the pecuniary aflv.i's of the nation; and the resolution mved bv Mr Cocke from I'd Bess- e.for a standing committee to act dt r ing the v;.c tion is denounced as an -o-tenmt at usurpation an uncnnMitution interference on the prt of the H'U ih the Executive p' ero ati cs W &HY Out a doubt it would be much inuie

gratifying to multitudes, whose eyes are hahituaily lurncd owards the ticaury, to sec the ugean stable shut and lucked against all scrutiny, than to witness an atcmpt to cleanse it. Wo hope, nuwevcr. tiiat these active and independent mem bet s of the House wiii not be detcned by any clamour, from within or without from prosecuting their well timed and nccessa. measures. STATEllOADS. In conserm iicc of my having received frequent application from R udCommis siuners to know the amount they ate en titled to draw on me for, and having been informed b others of their having appoint ed a day to receive proposals and to make eonbacts for the opening of their respective roads, I think it necessary to give this public i otice. that I have not received any answer from the secretary of the treasury of the United States to :ny application to be paid the amount of the road fund due this State. It may be premature for the road commissioners to appoint any time to receive proposals, or to make any contracts befote they are advised by me, through the medium f the u Indiana Farmer, " that I have received the money CORISTOPHER HARRISON, Ag't cf the S ate of In J ina,f r th, three fier cent, fund Salem, May 6th, 1822. M rhod 'o firmtrve seed Corn from being destroyed bv the birds Gabriel Barclay , esquire, of -underhand, of late years, has never had a hill of corn destroyed by birds or other vermin, by preparing his seed in the following manner. iz Take a quart of warm tar and gently pour on it about 13 or 20 quarts of com, stirring it at the same time, then acid so much dry lime as will prevent the kernels from adhering to each other, or the persons fingers who plants the same. The orn thus planted will be longer in sprouting, but the blade will be strong er and cf a darker colour, and will soonc come to maturity than that planted in the common way. The expense is very trifling, and vast po petty might hac been saved to our farmers by 'his pre paration, Tren. Fed.

It will be sf:en by the proceedings of congics? that Mr. Stevenson has subnutted a proposition, which if taken up at the next session of that body, as deHvned bv the mover, will give rise to a full discussion about state lights It is time that the federal and stat: jurisdictions were settled, if possible ; for we are really titid of the contests about the powers Cc rights (if the one as acting, or as being supposed to ac', agu,:st the the power and rig. t f tin ot 'er. It is, prob-biy, for this purpose, that Mr. Stevenson has brought forward his re solution. Y;V

Wc also hear that the injunction ef secrecy has been removed on those proceedings. Ib Ukitt d Statf.s and France. It is tMted that the difficulties that have existed between our c unttv and France, as to commetcV intercourse, are about to be removed by an act ol the Ftench government, which will be reciprocally met, according to the condition of the law by an act. of our own. lb. West India I hade. It appears highly probable that the British parliament has so far tetircd bom their navigation laws as to resolve to open their est India ports to the commerce of the U States : but the fact is not yet certainly known. lb.

It is also vated, that the American colonists were omfortablv settled at cape Messurado, ul were highly pleased with their pros' nects.

tv iZT' Fhe latest papers mention, that the emperor of Russia has replied to the joint note of Austria and Great Britain, m which he refuses to admit any foreign interference in his affairs with Tuikey, and a variety of cit cumstanccs arc prcseutccrhat fvortne idea of hostilities which, wc now think, have before this time commenced: if so, no one can calculate? the consequences. The Greeks arc evidently gathering strength and gaining ground. a. Philadelphia, April 20 The day previous to the Thomas Scatter good leaving ( anton, information was received that the British fiigate Topaz, capt. Biackwood, had fired upon the hincevi!agcoi I.intir, 20 miles above Macoa, and had killed and wounded I 3 bine se It appeared that the frigate's boat were on shore watering when, a iiata took place between them and the nati; cs, who had attacked the teamen with bainboos c Capt. Blackwood was indued to open a fire in order to cover the retreat of his men. When the Thomas Scattcrwood, lift IJutin the ftigate and a large Countty Mdp remained at that anchorage with llieir boarding netting up. The consequences to result from this affair could no' be asceitained at tl c time of the 7'homas .Vcattt rgood's sailing ; but the probability is that it will occasion a tempo aiy suspension at least, between the British and Chinese.
