THE WESTERN bUNT. YlATCEjVJWiSi JO N E ! 7T8 25 COMMUNICATION Do not the patriotic citizens of this Borough intend making arrangements to honor the birth day of freedom ? It is proposed that a meeting of the citizens generally, be had on Monday evening, the 20th inst. at 7 o'clock at the Vincennes Hotel, to make arrangements for the occasion. SEVENTY SIX. Detroit, May 10. Gov. Cass left this place last Saturday, for Wapaghkonnetta, Ohio, to treat with the Delawares, Shawnees, Wyandots and Senccas, on the Subject of removing from Ohio, to the west side of the Mississippi. It is expected that he will return to this place about the 10th of June, when he will immediately depart for Prairie du Chien, where he will meet with the Sioux, Chippeways, Menominies, Sacks, Foxes, Io ways, Winnebagoes, Sec. for the purpose of fixing some definite boundaries for the ecveral tribes, and thus check, in a measure, their frequent quarrels. Extract of a letter from an officer of the United States army, to the Editor of the Aurora and Franklin Gazette, dated fort Atkinson, Council Bluffs, April 2, 1825. " An expedition is now fitting out at this post to ascend the Missouri as far as the Falls, nearly two thousand miles above here. Five hundred men, four companies of the first regiment, and six of the ixth regiment United States infantry under the command of gen. Atkinson, provided with six months rations, will start from this about the first of next month. The objec t of the expedition is to make treaties with the different tribes of Indi

ans. Commissioners to make theni accompany the expedition." Greece. We have cheering intelligence from Greece. Accounts from Napoli di Romania, of March 12, Cephalonia, March 11, and Zante, March 24, all confirm the statement (of which we have before published a rumor) that the Egyptians who landed at Modon had been completely beaten. The Cephalonia account adds, "that Ibrahim Pacha himself is blocked up in the fortress of Modon. His troops only landed in Greece to meet their death. Among those who have been taken prisoners are many Europeans, especially Frenchmen, among Whom there is a General. What a terrible stigma to their country1." The intelligence, as conveyed from Zante, is as follows: " The Arab troops who were landed at Modem manure with their corpses the fine olive plains of that place. According to all the letters which we have received to-day from the Peloponncssus, they have been almost entirely destroyed or taken prisoners. The Greeks have made a rich booty. A division of the Greek fleet, ofsecn vessels of war and five fire ships, have shut up the division of the Egyptian fleet in the Gulf of Coron, and only wait for a favorable wind to send the fire ships against them. The Piesident, T. Conduriottis, with 10.000 men, is already marching against Putras. We learn, also, that the llydriotes having heaid of the arrival of apart of the Turkish fket in the Straits of the Dai dandles, sent forty vessels to oppose them. The campaign already augurs badly for the Turks, and we may soon cxnrct very favorable intelligence." The Frankfort Journal of April 14, contains accounts, from various quarters, of the arrival of a Turkish squadron, on the 2 th February, at Modon, which is said to consist of seven frigates, nine brigs, and other vessels, containing S,000 troops. It is also affirmed, that there are, at Candia, 200 other vessels, ready to sail with more considerable forces, and that 5),0()C) men are encamped in the environs of Lavissa. As the date of the defeat of the Egyptians at Modon is not civen, we have no means of indinv:

whether this account does not refer to the armament of Ibrahim Pacha. Hut be this as it may, the G reeks are described as beholding these formidable preparations without the least dismay Turkey. We learn from Constantinople, March 1 1, that foul Ortas of the Jr.nissaries have lately been arrested, accused of having been concerned in the late conspiracy. It appears that a re factory spirit still prevails in that corps. The public attention was much engaged soma days by the extraordinary purchases which the principal English mercantile house in this port was making, in evcrv direction, of silk, cochineal, cotton, &c. The Corporation of Turkish merchants has complained of this forestalling, which raised the prices, and deprived the manufactories of the country of the means of wo king. The Government ha3 r.ot yet come to any decision.

CHILLICOTIIB, (OHIO,) JUNE S. TREMENDOUS HURRICANE. It appears from accounts received in various papers that on Wednesday the 18th ult. a most tremendous hurricane passed through several counties in this state, destroying houses, barns, stables and even whole villages. Where it commenced has not been ascertained, but its

i 1 w j j 4 j w nave uccn irom west j to east, and we particularly hear of its ra- I

vages inrougn the counties of Shelby, Logan, Licking, Knox, Tuscarawas and Stark. The Urbana News Letter, in describing its ravages in Logan County, says: "Every thing in the course of the tornado was literally demolished. Houses, barnes, stables, fences, Sec. were razed to the ground, and trees, posts, Etc. were torn up and carried off. Large trees are said to have been flying in the air at the height of two hundred feet. Mr. Horn's brick house was levelled to the earth, and the roof, including the upper floor and joists, which were spiked together, had not been heard of four or five days after the storm. The houses, and in fact, every thing, in the main channel of the wind, were totally cleared away; so that the channel has the appearance of a state road, handsomely opened; even the stumps in the course are torn up and carried off! Geese were blown

off and dashed to death against trees; and ponds of water are said to have been

emptied of their contents. No person was killed nor seriously inmred in bodv.

as we have yet heard The width of the storm, was about a fourth of a mile, but the main channel was but a few rods."

From Locan county, we hear of hut lit

tle damage being done, until the storm struck the west line of Licking county, where it recommenced its destructive ravages, and fell with all its fury on the village cf Burlington, containing about twenty dwellings, every cne of which were entirely demolished; some of them in solid mass and others in pieces, hurled in the air The Columbus Monitor, in describing its devastation, at the latter place, says; "Three ncrsons were in

stantly killed and three others mortally

wounded; and several others slightly. The cattle were nearly all killed; of the materials of their building scarcely any

remained; and ot their provisions, clothing and furniture, not an article in their original place; nor scarcely any within the range of the search. Some persons have since been extricated alive from the

rubbish; and some were missing at the date cf our last intelligence. We could not learn the names of the persons killed, except Mr. Wright, a son of Cant, Dan

id Wright, a promising young man, who,

in attempting to hold the door ot his fa

ther s brick house, war,, with the door

and door-post, precipited against the opposite wall and his skull broken in many pieces. The house was demolished, except the lower part of the walls, and the .re&t of the family providentially escaped by retreating to the cellar. What has been the portion of its destruction to other villages and dwellings, on its eastern couise, we have not learned. Vague rumor says, that it has passed through Berlin, in Holmes county, and destroyed part of that town. On" the same day, there were strong gusts of w ind accompanied with hail, in Wooster, which blew down a house; also, in this neighborhood and in several other places The chizens of Granville, Newark, s:nd Mount Vernon, and their vicinities, immediately turned out to the relief of the distressed inhabitants of Burlington, with an alacrity that does them much credit. The physicians have been almost constant in their attention to the dying and wounded. Probably, we shall soon learn the particu lars and extent of this awful visitation." The villages of Zoar and Sandy villc, in Tuscarawas county, suffered considerably, where the storm was accompanied with a fall of hail; and in the south east part of Stark county, it is sai l, its consequences have been very distressing, in the destruction of houses, barns, timber Sec. In this section of the country a number of domestic animals weie killed, but we have not heard of any human lives being lost. Sufiflortcr.

chf.r aw, May 13. Mr. Joseph Bell, of whom we had occasion to spcak)in our last paper, has invented a new kind of furnace for melting pig metal, and cast ing machinery, &c. Within a fortnight pist, he has put one of his furnaces into operation in this place, and the period of time required to melt pig metal in this furnace is only about half of that occupied by one of an ordinary kind. The great economy in building these furnaces, is still more astonishing; the whole expense not exceeding S30. The quantity of fuel necessary to be used is also infinitely less Gaz.
