THE WESTEKN SUN

VINCENNES, june 17, 1826. No person, except a resident on the nuantity of produce which is "his river, every spring. I h,. ains to obtain as correctly as P uumber of flat boats which have s place, and which have onc fronrtlris county, during the spring f reshets, and with all the care, no doubt many passed unnoticed. The number of flat boats reported, 152 of these, the loading is known of only 24 twenty-two of which were from this county, and two from Vigo. In these 24 the loading consisted of 57,250 bushels corn,; 20,550 lbs bulk pork; 780 Chickens, 1 60 bushels oats, 5,013 lbs bees wax, 3 barrels beans, 47 live hog, 410 venison hams 2,273 V.con hams. 1,501 b rrel pork. 280 do. corn meai 41 live cattle, Besides thsc which went ftom this county, and which have been reported, there is no doubt that a number have gone from other parts of the county below this place, and out of Wnitc liver, which bounds this county or. the east south Th ioadii.g ol lh-;sc boats whose cargoes ac not known, will probably be in the ratio of those which we hive given a list above, making in round numbers, and at a low calculation, about 250,000 bushel corn.j! 2,C0O Chickens, 100,000 Ihs bik. pork)' 1,000 bushels oats, 10,00 ) bacon hams.jj 1 0,C00 lbs wax, 4,0oo bar'ls. pork. j 20 bar'ls bean?, 800 corn mcai, 3, ("00 venison hams 2,000 live cattle, 250 live hogs, which have been shipped from the counties on the Wabash above, and including this besides the immense amount shipped from below this place to the mouth of the river, and out of White liver, all destined for the southern market. Whr.t wonder then, that the market at NewOrleans should be glutted ?Iost of the boats arrive about the same time. And when it is considered, that New-Orleans , is the dc.posite of most of tae produce of part of Pennsylvania Sc Virginia a great part of Ohio ah Kentucky, Tennessee, Ili3;ssippi, Aikcnsaw, Missouri, Elinor , and Indiana, can any one be astonished that the sales at some seasons are dull, and the prices low. The fact is. a new vent for our produce mus' be found out, and he who looks at the man nf the counttv, must be satisfied that Pensaeola will be the place, a canal will be the means from the Mississippi -and thus two markets affuded instead of one. I wa-, rejoiced tn se tiie attention of congress ca'.d to this subject. With the obstruct m of the rapids removed, the Wabash may be made navigable from this place to its mouth, at almost any season, for boats not too heavily ladencd. With a trifling expense, and navigation maybe rendered safe 150 miles above. What has become of the S''- part of the unexpended road fund, appropriated at the session of 1 124 5, to this purpose ? There certainly must be something due us. i wouiu suggest to our members from the Wabash, a iittlc attention tjthis subject next winter. Will not the Legislature aid still further in so important an object. Fourth of July There wpl be an ad- j journed meeting ot the citizens tins evening at su .down, :t Mr. Ciark's read, ing room, to make final arrangements tor the celebration. It is to bo hoped theie will be a genet ai turn ot: .md that those whose age Sc standing give them weight in society, will attccd. June 17. ll'ashinstou Ci:y, Miy 20'h, 1326. Sir: Of ihe vatims subjects which, have been parsed upon by the tw o houses of CongieNS, during the piesent session, is an act making fuithcr piovision tor the extinguishment of the debt due to the U. States, by the purchasers of nub-ic lands ; which provides that the legal holder of arvy ccitificate of i m !s. purchased from the U. States, which his reverted, by virtue of the piovisions of the act of the 2d of lilarch, 1821, or the several act supplementary thereto; or which by virtue of the 5th section of the act of the 10th of May, 1820, is subject to be sold for the ba! mcc due thereon, with interest, w hich, mder the provisions of the said act, has become forfeited to tiie U. StUes, since the 1st day of July, 18 20, and which has rot been sold, shall be permitted to redeem the same, at any time previous to the 1st day of May, 1827, on paying the amount of purchase money due, exclucive of interest-with a deduction of 37 per cent. And that, if the lcal holder of any certificate of further credit extended to purchasers of public hnd. bv the act of the 2d of March, 182 1, shall, previous to the 4th clay of July, 1827, discharge the a-

mount due on such certificate, by relinquishment, or payment, or both., such holder shall be entitled to a remission of all interest thereon, at the day of such discharge, together with a deduction of 37 per cent, on the amount actually paid in cash. An act has also passed, making an appropriation of money to enable the Presi dent of the UnitedStatcs, to carry into effect the appointment of a mission to the Congress of Panama; with the express understanding, however, that the long settled neutral policy of the government, is not to be departed from ; St that the commissioners to be sent to the said Congress at Panama, are to attend in a diplomatic character merely. An apptopriaticn of gl 10,000 has been made for the continuation of the national road from Wheeling to Missouri; Sc the commissioner appointed for that purpose, will be employed during the ensuing summer, in the survey and permanent location thereof, through the states of Ohio and Indiana. A bill was reported in the Senate, by lhc select committee on ro .ds and canals, on the 2 1st of February, to grant a certain quantity of land to the Stale of Indiana, for the put pose of aiding said Stale, in opening a eanal. bv which to connect the waters of the V abash liver, with those of Lake Erie; il in consequence l the press of othet bu lincss, v. hie!; had priority in the two houses, the qu -tion on its passage has n t been talu.i ; it will therefore remain amongst the u.iii wished business, to be taken up at the next session of Congtess, at which time, I think that it may be confidently expected that a grant win be made forth it pinp sc; and that the act (if passed) w ill be liberal in its prov isions. And here permit me to remark, that in order the more efLctuaHy to fuither the object of this great Sc important woik of Internal Improvement, the necessary prcpa1 atory measures, on the part of the Legis'aturc of the State, is essentially necessity. An arplicr.;'.ou has been made to the Secretary of War, for one of the United States' civil engineers, to make the necessary survey and estimates of the pioposed route for a canal Sc a conditional promise (in his answer) has been given. The bill further to amend the Judiciary System of the United States, hms, on the leth instant, indefinitely postponed, by a vote of 99 to SO, in consequence ot the riisagt cement on the pan ot the House of Representatives, to the amendments made by the Senate to toe v-,dd bill An act has passed mak'vg an appropriation of fifteen thousand dollars, lor the extinguishment of Indian titles to lends v.itnin the State of Indiana. The resolution which was offered by Mr. McDulTie, proposing to amend the Constitution in such manner, as to pre vent the eh ct'rn of Preside- t and Vice President of the United States, from de volving on Congress, and. to give the election of the aforesaid officers to the people, passed by a vote of t 3S to 52 And although it is acknowledged by all. that any attempt to chmge the fundamei ta! principles of the government, should be exercised with the utmost precaution, yet it is believed that such a provision would not enly be hailed as the legitimate tight of the American people, but would, in future, tend o preserve the character o' Congress, from the degrading imputation ot corru:fion bargain and &a' Sc would place, b yoiulfhe possibility o! doubt, ihe abuse of delegated tower. On this subjeet, however, there ae various oph-ions ; vet it docs not alwavs h How, that a d;fl rence of cfiiTiizTij is a difference of firmciI avail myself of this opportunity, of returning my unfeigned acknowledgements, to a generous public, for the vatious evidences of. their confidence Sc support; and to intimate a w illingness to incur a further obligation on my port. I have the honor ol being the Publics obedient servant. K. BOON. The following extract wc find in the N Y. American, of Monday. It seems to corroborate the opinions contained in the article we o i Wednesday published from the London Traveler, of me probability of an immediate commencement of hostilities on the part of Russia. The new reign in Russia commences under circumstances .of a very pottcntous aspect: Xat. Jour. Extract of a Utter from Lcr.dor dated Jfinl l3rA. " Matters arc going on smoothly here. Even the mcnicd affairs are returning to their accustomed regularity. Ministers arc strong and popular ; and not a little elated at .the success of their new principles of free trade. The leturn of the duke of Wellington is anxiously expected. It is supposed he left St. Petersburg immediately after the funeral of A-

Iexandcr: it so, he is now on his way. His experience and sagacity will have enabled him to judge of the condition of Russia, which is here thought to be one of great difficulty. I heard, from the best authority, that more than fourteen thousand persons were under at rest some of them of the noblest and best families in Russia. No executions have yet taken place : a fact that evinces most strongly the difficulty of the conjuncture. This hesitation proves, though it is attempted to be concealed, the extent of the defection; and the abim caused by the high character of the persons connected with it. To pardon or to punish might, under these circumstances, be alike latal. Notwithstanding the pacific disposition of Nicholas, a war seen to be the only remedy for the fire that surrounds him When the Pretorian bands are masters, the law they prescribe must be obeyed; with Turkey, therefore, must war, in all probability, be made. Constantinople may be pillaged, and Greece relieved from the Ottoman power. Tins will gt e vent to the rebellious spirit whieli seems t , h ive infected all classes ; extend the limits of the empire ; and pieserve. fVrthe present, the inmeriai throne. The Holy Alliance, and. above ail, Kngiand, will not see this, without apprehension and jealousy ; but, in what way they cr.navrtt it or micccss. !u y oppose the war, it is not easy to perceie " i he Boston Com icr gives t' c fo!h'Wi-g pauiruiats in addition to th extiait vie mad:: bom that paper on Wcdnedav : 14 Rjiss:c.
