'rLYCX. US, NOV EM 11 KR J, 1322. Hie Corydon Branch Bank" was close. a few days at;o, by a committee from I he Mother Bank, as it is said, who have : irrkui otV t!ic good hinds belonging to the Branch, and sold the furniture. The circumstances attending this transaction give no assurance that it is not a component part of the profitable farce of tnc- and trap, or legitimate swindling; v. hich has been usually played off by the Bank of Vinccnnes. However, it is due to those Directors who arc, and have ieen concerned in the Branch at Corydon, to state that they disapproved cflhe icrnoval of the good funds ; or that they should be applied in any other way than towards the redemption of the paper issued at Corydon. Indiana Gaz. -Five hundred Ec fifty two doers have within a short time been killed in Philadelphia, in pursuance of the city ordinances and in New Orleans very near many. Two most excellent examples lir our trustees. An instance of spontaneous combustion lately occurred at the woolen manufactory in Steubenville, Ohio. A quantity of greasy waste wool, between one and two hundred weight, that had lain pressed together in a pile in the garret was accidentally discoveied to be on fire by one of the little girls employed in picking wool. That pait of the waste which is supposed to have caused the fire, consisted of the cleaning of the cards, which was highly charged with greese. It is stated in the Feliciana Advertiser, that information had been received at that place from Mexico, through a gentleman of intelligence, that it was the intention of that government, to object to running the boundary line, as settled by the treaty at Washington, and that it would insist on the temporary line agreed upon in 1806, between gen Wilkinson and Salce do Thii information it is said, was derived from the officers of the government of Mexico, who had lately arrived in Texas " This intelligence," seysthe Advertiser, u from the respectability of its source, .c presume may be relied on, creates great interest to hear further from ?lcxico." Lex. Public Adv. It is mentioned as an interesting inci dent, that, on Monday week, Tomas Jtf. ferson, James Madison if James Monroe, the two former presidents, and the pre sent chief magistrate of the U. States, at tended at Charlottsvillc, Va at a meet ing held at that place of tc trustees of the university ot Virginia. It was certainly a fact worth remarking and remem bering. Nat. Int. Firs! arrival of Furs from the Rocky if untains. apt. Perkins, of the Mis souri Fur companv, arrived in town this week, with a boat load of furs and peltries worth g!4 000, trom the Hocky Moun tains. Another paicel belonging to the same company, worth g 10,000, is on the river, and expected to arrive in the week coming. The whole has descended the Yellow Stone river, and must have been transported 3000 miles to arrive at this place; such is the extent of country laid under contribution by the commercial po sit'on of St Louis. In this first adventure (since the revival of the fm trade) to the Rocky mountains, it is gratifying to learn that no hostilities of any kind have occurred with the Indi ans, and that the present appearances pro misc great success to the entcrpi izing ci tizens who are now extending their tiade to that remote region.

We forgot to mention the important fact that the king had returned from his expedition to Scotland! The Glasgow Courier mentions that, when 4 Irs majesty and sir William Curtis first met in their Highland dress, they both burst out into a rude laugh at the ridiculous appeal ance of eac h other." Mr. Canning is appointed the successor of the marquis ot Londonderry. It is somewhat remarkable that the premier peer in each part of the united kingdom should be in opposition lo the x present ministers, viz. the duke of Nor loll; in Kngland, the duke L insletin lieland, and the duke of Hamilton in Scotland.

It is stated in a German paper that apart of the Austrian army in Italy is a bout to march into France to relieve the cordon on the frontier of Spain ! This is not probable. Spain. The ministers are completely gleaning the persons that were about the king they have given many of them orders to retire to their homes, and have intimated to his majesty himself, the possibility of his being brought to trial for mal-conduct, if he does not behave bcttci in future ! Gibraltar papers inform us that The insurrections in Spain continue to pre vail in the provinces of Catalonia, Navar re and Biscay. Russia. An order was issued at St. Petersburg on the 21st of August, for closing all the freemasons lodges Some great alarm appears to have seized on the government.

Turkey. The French papers state, that alter the Turkish fleet, under the command of the captain pacha, sailed trom Constantinople, and that since, in consequence of a 3d expedition having taken place, there scan ely remained a single ship of war in the before-mentioned harbor. The captains of several Greek vessels, then lying in the port of Odessa, formed the daring resolution of imme diately sailing to Constantinople, and there to set lire to the arsenal. They might perhaps have succeeded in this rash attempt, from which great conse quences would have issued, but our government prevented them from carrying it into execution by not allowing them to sail The following details of the late victory of the Greeks, is from a Frankford paper of Aug. 24 We have at this instant received new details of the victory gained by the Greeks on the 14th of July, which are of the greatest interest. As already stated, the Hellcnians were for ced, on the 13th, after fighting valiantly, to retreat, and they took up a new position in the Straits Thermopylae. Encouraged by their success the evening before, the Turks attempted on the 1 4th, to force all the passages; but seven hundred brave soldiers under the command of another Leonidas, young Bozzaris, stopped their progress till night, repeating a thousand times the cry of E'eutheria (liberty). They defended with the greatest heroism the principal defiles. During this time. the Greek army marched with great haste, and arrived, after making several detours in the rear of the enemy's army. where it took up a position, "i he 1 ui ks entirely surrounded, were attacked with fury and completely routed. The results were most brilliant three pachas, se venty beys, and eleven thousand men wctc taken prisoncts. All the bggage of the Ottoman army, with its artillery and tents, fell into the power of the victors Nearly a thii d of the Turkish ar my was killed, and a considerable num ber wounded Chourschid Pacha had great difficulty to save himself with four thousand men, the miserable wreck of his army at Larissa. During the battle, Grecian women, leading with them boys of ten years of age, who followed the example ot then mothers, hurled down stones on the Turks from the tops of the mountains. In general, the Hellenians fought with an enthusiasm, great almost beyond ex ample. There cry was, death to the bar barians, vengencc, our brothers were massacred at Scio.' Young Bozzaris, the mod?rn hero of Thermopylae, in his de votion to his coun ry, forfeited his life. His corpse was transported to Corinth with the greatest pomp; 1000 women, preceded by 160 priests, accompanied the procession. They are preparing in that city to pay him the greatest honors C7 Another great victory has been obtained by Greek! Chourschid Pacha, threatened by the divan on account of his defeat, assembled all his reserves in the utmost haste to recover his reputation. tie met tne enemy again on mc 1st ot August, and is said to have lost as many men as on the former occasion he himself being among the prisoners ! Itmust be remarked however, that the London Courier, (the mouth-piece of the ministry, and deadly hostile to the Greeks), doubts the truth of this report. A greek fleet of 40 sail, had been fitted out to bombard Salonichi It is confirmed that the 'Turks have nearly destroyed the whole city of Jassy with fire, out of mere love of ruin or for the sake ot plunder. Nine churches and seven monasteries were consumed. 'The Greek patriarch is dead, and the late bishop of Chalccdonia has been elected his successor. The patriarch died of the dropsy, and the Greeks at Constantinople appear to have had full liberty to pay the usual respect lo the remains of a person so distinguished. 'The portc has intimated his willingness to lecrive a Russian minister, provided he shall not come in a vessel of w ar.

A large force was sent to expel him The war prosecuted by him is useless yet it involves a great wast of life and treasure. Mexico. A battle is reported to have taken place between the imperialist and the republicans, in which the former were defeated, with great loss It is quite certain that many are dissatisfied with his emperorship. Vc have a copy "l a proclamation signed "Guadaloupe Victoria." informing the people that -'the

standard of liberty is raised.'' and inviting! them to take up arms he proscribes Iturbidc as a tyrant, and proposes that a general congress be held at Puebla. The emperor has arrested many distinguished persons at Mexico several of them being members of the congress ; he is evidently alarmed. It is propable that his leign will be short. REPUBLIC OF COLOMBIA. D AL TIMOllE, OCT I 8. Capt. Buckley, ot the schooner Dauntless, at this port, in 19 days from La Guayra, reports that the day previous to his sailing, news had rcach-d there of the capture of Maracaibo. by v ien. "Morales, without opposition Gen. Paez. with 5000 men, had sailed several day s before for Marracaibo ; and General Soublette was to leave Carraccas the next day for .1 i . tt tne same destination, wun a like number of men. 'The fleet sailed from La Guayra for Maracaibo a week befoie A knew kind of Money. It is stated in some of the papers, that a bank has been established in Indiana, which issues the skint of animals instead of paltiy pa pernotet. According to this novel system of finances, a racoon skin passed at gl an oppossum at 50 cents minks at 25 cents rabbits 12$ cents and squirrals at a cent each. This currency an swered all the purposes of money very well, and the institution went on swimmingly, until some of the rogues of the west hit upon a mode of counterfeiting the bills, by tacking the tail of a racoon to the skin of an opossum, which considerably impaitcd the credit of the bank. Such a currency certainly possesses some advantages over any other species of circulaung medium, whether ancient or modern. It is as little liable lo be carri ed out of the country, as the Spartan coin, consisting of heavy plates of iron ; nor can a modern runner whip through the country with some thousands in his pocket. Remarkable Coincidence. In the year '661, on the 5th ol December, a boat on the Menai, crossing that st ait, over which a bridge is now building, with 81 passengers, was upset, and only one passenger, named Hugh Williams, was saved. On the same day, in the year, 1785, was upset another boat, containing about 60 passengers, and every person perished, with the exception of one, whose name also was Hugh Williams ; and on the 5ih of August, 1820, a third boat met the same fate, but the passengers of this were only 25, and singular to relate, the whole perished with the exception of one, whose name was Hugh Williams !
