THE WESTERN SUN VLYCEN.ES, april 19, 1823. In this days paper we have given thc act of congress extening the time allowed Tor the relief of purchasers of public lands, until the 30th September next. We are informed that in this district about 130 purchasers may be relieved by this extension of time. AN ACT further to extend the provisions of the Act, entitled "An Act Sufi filementary to an Act, entitled "An Act for the relief of the purchaser of the public lands, prior to the Jirst July, cne thousand eight hundred and ftyrrcly." Be it enacted by the Senate, and Houte cf Representatives of the United States tf America, in Congress assembled, That all persons who shall produce iatisfactory evidence to the Register and Receiver of thc proper Land Office, that they TTcrc actually entitled to, and would have availed themselves of, thc provisions of ihe act entitled aAn act supplementary to the act, entitled An act for the relief of the purchasers of the public lands, prior to the first day of July, one thousand eight hundred and twenty," approved April twentieth, one thousand eight hundred and twenty-two, and their failure to do so was owing to such cause or circumstance, as he could not controul or prevent, shall be allowed, until the thirtieth day of September next, to avail

themselves of all the privileges, advantages, and provisions of the said act, in the lame manner they could have done prior to the thirtieth day of September last. Approved, March 3, 1823. JAMES MONROE. PENSIONS. We have understood, that the money far the pensioners has at length arrived. Pensioners may not now be disappointed. Ind. Gaz. Lexington, Reporter Offite, A n i ant c A gentleman of this town has juit arrived from Philadelphia in 7 days hav ing left on Wednesday the 26ih ult. He states that a ship arrived at the moment rf hie ilfr-rnrr hi inirintr an arr.nimt nf a DECLARA I ION of WAR By PRAMr.K AHA INST SPAIN. He "was unable to obtain any printed statement of the intelligence brought by this upcspI hut it wai thp nnininn nF those with whom our informant conversed, that there was no doubt ot the commencement of hostilities between those pow ers. Much solicitude was manifested by the Merchants of Philadelphia to communicate the information to their correspondents at Baltimore; a number of letters were thrown on board the Steam Boat in which our informant had embarked, when putting off from the wharf, but as he arrived in the night at Baltimore, he had no opportunity at that place of learning particulars. DESTRUC 1 IV j tlKfc. About two o'clock yesterday morning the elegant building in Philadelphia, called the Washington Hall, wat discovered to be on fire, which extended in a few minutes to Renshaw's Hotel- and we regret to learn by the paisengers in the steam boat that both buildings were in a short time reduced to ashes. It was reported that some lives were lost, but we have reason to believe the Safe arrival of Com. Porter's squadron Capt. Warner, (vessel's name not remembered,) who arrived at Havana from New Yoik, just before the Spark sailed, informed, that the Decoy, (store ship of Com. Porters's squadron,) had captured (or detained) a vessel, off Key West, supposed, from appearances, to be a Pirate. From this circumstance, the safe arrival of the squadron of Com. Porter, at its destined cruising ground may be Inferred. Mr. Adams, secretary of State, has been presented, by some of the fishermen of Marblehead, ai a testimonial of their respect for him, a codfish weighing eighty-four pounds, well packed in ice. POSTTOPFICES. By a late statement from thc post master general, it appears that there are in the United States. 3252 post others, that the gross amount of postages durirg the year 1822 was g, 128.023 compensation to post masters 356,155. Incidenta' expense of transporting the mail ovct $85, 554 miles of road 8777,753, and that the balance against the general post office is $28,843. Last year it was 25,265. The gross amount of postage during the year Vfai7i,365 more than thai of 1821,

whilst the expense of transportation ras J less. It is very doubtful however, if; congress continues .yearly to multiply roads, whether the establishment can support itself much longer. i . Herald,
