communicated. Died at the house of his father, on Saturday evening the 4th inst. of a pulmonary consumption, in the 38'h year of his age, Dr. Lawrence s. shuleu, President of the State Medical Society of Indiana By his death his family are deprived of a kind father, and an affectionate husband ; society has lost one ot its most valuable ornaments ; and the medical profession a distinguished and most useful member. Dr. Shulcr was a native of Montgome ry county, (N. Y) he finished his med ical education at the Fairfield medical col lege in IS 15 ; in the winter of I ill 7 emi grated to, and settled in Vincenncs, I? where he continued until the spring of 1825, at which time he removed to Tcnc Haute, the place of his residence at the time of his death. It was in the discharge of the arduous duties of his profession during the past winter, that the complaint of which he di ed, became confirmed. The many living testimonials of his worth in that branch of his profession in which he most excelled, (Surgery) and the universal sympathy : regret on the occason, abundantly demonstrate how great indeed is the loss of such a man to this young and rising state. An intimate knowledge & acquaintance with the science of Anatomy, a thorough in sight into, and a complete understanding of the complex machinery of the human system, is net only useful, but absolutely necessary. It is here that ignorance is fatality, and science is safety. To a perfect knowledge of Anatomy, he added a hand tha' ikvc:' tired, a nerve that never flinched, even in the most difficult and dangerous operations No r.nn over pci formed more difficult, or moe critical ones, or was ever more successful in those which he did perform. Yet. in regard to them, he was modest in the extreme; Sc an operation which would have added to the fame of a Richcvand, a sir A Cooper, or a Physic, is known only to the profession through those few Jiving witnesses whom curiosity, or desire for information, may have called round the operator's chair. His practice too as a physician, was alikc succc5ruhand very extensive. The science of medicine in this section of the west has been much benefited by his labours, than which none can better testify than thos of the profession who have frcquently met him at the sick bed, or conversed with him upon the subject of med ical phylosophy. In private life he was generous, hospitable, and humane. In him, the paor always found a friend, the suffering relief. "Light be the sod that covers his ashes."

Viewed by many of you as a probable candidate at the next congressionaltlection, I deem it due to you, to state, that, after due consideration of the subject, I have determined not to become a candidate for the 21st congress To my friends and former supporters, I return my unfeigned thanks, as well for fiast favours, as for the many friendly assurances which I have recently received of your friendship towards me.

Mr. Knight, the United States' Commissioner for fixing the site of the National Road has completed the location to this place. The distances are found to be as loilows To the Ohio state line, 71$ miles; thence to Columbus, 9 1 $ miles; thence to Wheeling, one hundred and twenty seven miles ; thence to Baltimore, two hundred and sixty-six miles ; making the whole distance, 56' $ miles. The ground between this place and Columbus has been found so favorable that the road by actual measurement is only two hundred and eighty-six poles farther than a straight line, and will bo made so nearly level that the ascent in no place be more than three degtecs. The only considerable towns passed on the route, are Spring
field, Richmond, and Ccntreville, but there can be no doubt that other towns will soon spring up in the bosom of the wilderness not inferior lo those mentioned Mr. Knight left this place yesterday to run a random line westward. It has been ascertained that the best place for erecting abridge across White river lies about twenty rods north ot Washi- gton street. A strait line thence to V an. 'a'ia would run between two and th ee n iles south of Greencastle, and ben e n om and 2 south of Terre Hau'c ; but shouid the road pass through the former, the tat ter w mi id be nearly on the line. Ii is to be hoped that these important points may be accommodated with a road lhat will add so much to their prosperity. There is little doubt that the road will be permanently located ar, far as the Wabash tf-is season, and possibly even to Vandnlia, for no pains arc spared by Mr. K ight to do justice to the business in which he is engaged.

The sloop Greyhound, Lieutenant Cox, has arrived fiom Key West We learn by Lieutenant Thompson, of the Mexican Navy, who came passenger in this v csscl, that within the last mouth, three or four ves scls which had been w recked, had arrived at Key West. We also learn from Lieutenant Thorn p son, that Commocicre Porter had returned to his fleet at Key West, and that he v. as still blockaded there by Commodore Labor dc. Union and harmmv existed among the officers and crews of the Mexican Navy, and Commodore Porter had be.-omc very popular with the nation gen crally. A reinforcement of two ships was expected daily. We leard further lhat the neutrality of Key West had not been violated. It was understood that the Minister at Washington had made a representation to our g vernment, on the subject, but with what effect is not known. The chai ge that the neutrality had been violated probably originated in the Havana, and it was strongly urg-d t! at Laborde should attack Por ter in Key West. It is said that theiei a serious difference between Laborde and General Vivcs ; and there is a contest between them for authority ; and it is pn.b ab'y this difference that has been the source of a thousand rumors. Mr. Pinckncy, the Collector, a few davs ago had a communication with the Span isfi Commodore, upon the subject of thU change of Breach of Neutrality. La bordc replied, th?.t he considered Mr.
Pinckncy too much of a gentleman to suftci any violations ot this kind, and Commodore Porter too much of a military noi to pay strict obedience to the rights ol neutrality.
