Zettere From the 1st to the 1 5th A 1 pril, no less than 20,000 letters were received by the differed vessels, and distributed from the post office in New York. The fact, if not surprising, is at least, creditable to the industry of the office. Census of the Cherokees.

British cannon Fourteen pieces of ordnance 9 and 12 pounders captured onboard the British fleet, ot the memorable victory on lake Erie have recently been brought to this city, and arc piled up at the south end of Mr. M'Clurg's foun dry, in Fifth street. We understand these pieces were sold by order of the govern

melt them down, Sc mould them into pot

Converted into the articles we have named, they will be useful indeed, but will immediately pass into oblivion, which our enemies in war uould desire.

Origin of Frahk";g letters In the 23d volume of the parliamentary history is the following vciy curious anecdote concerning this privilege It c urred in the debate on. the post-oflicc bill, in the year 1660; col. Titus reported the biU for the settlement of the post-office, with the amendments. Sir Walter Earl delivered a pro ho, for the letters of all mem -bers of parliament to o tree, during their sitting Sir Hcneage Finch, said u it was a poor mendicant proviso, and Ixl w the honor of the house." Mr. P y m spoke also aga-.nst the povis: Mr Bunck'cy, Mr Boscowen, si G. Downing, and Serjeant Carlton lor it ; the latter sying, the council's letters went free. The question being called tor, the speaker sir Ilarbottl . Giimstone, was unwilling to put it, saying, he was ashamed of it : nevertheless the proviso was carried, k made part of the bill, which was ordered to be engrossed." The lords subsequently disagreed to this proviso, and it was ultimately thrown out At a subsequent period, however, both house did not feel it to be 44 below their honor" to secure for themselves this exemption from postage. Domestic life. The earl of Orrery well observes, that whenever we step cut of domestic life in search of felicity, we come back again disappointed, tired, and chagrined.

Ad ices from this city to the 1 5th February have been received in Baltimore The republican squadron, commanded by com. Brown, had had a battle with the imperial blockading squadron under admiral Lobo. The commodore was not well supported by .some of his vessels, a id much w eaker than the admiral, yet the latter appears to have been dr iven from his position, with con- . siderablc loss and damage. Senor Rivadaviu has been elected president of the Buenos Ay t can republic. Chili.

two lcet deep, and was broken m a per
pendicular manner. Lar ge stones weighing from three to four hundred pounds, were thrown thirty rods, and one, which our informant thinks will weigh between five and ten hundred, was thrown about eight rods. The force must have been great, as the explosion was heard at considerable distance. The fissures in the rocks, ?t the bottom, and on the sides of the cavity, are barely large enough to admit a man's hand. The cause of this explosion is unknown. Some suppose it to have been effected by water but this is not very probable, although there was, undoubtedly, a considerable quantity of w ater. Yet ti.e explosion being instantaneous, there must have been some invsible cause of eruption.

This wrrk h ts now been published more than t .ree years. Its plan embraced every thing v aluable in the Journals of Europe ' but thilcit yet remainul to be prov ed that this plan would be acceptable to the publicit was not thet' expedient to incur the irr eat expense necessary to execute it fnllv r to encounter the disadvantage f copying from Journ as to which our readers u.ig'n't jerhaps be subscribers. On these acrnint we have with cue or two exceptions, avoided the Edinbur.uh and Quarterly Reviews. All doubts of the success of a work rn the plan ofthe Museum, have been ei tireiv ro-
moveil by the experiment, and the best proof

ty ot matter toat was in the first ami when it is considered that that was already the cheapest periodical vvork in the countrv, it
will Ue evident that we tkr verv considera
ble inducements to subscribers. There will e twelve numbers a ear, each containing
near ly as much as one of the Reviews. This increase of space enables us to reprint every thing worth reprinting, in the Edinburgh Uf (Auarnrhj Reviews: In addition to the follow i: g works, from which wc have regularly drawn our supplies heretofore :
