THE WESTERN BUN. riXCENJVES, auoust 1, 1829. There lias within the last week been a considerable rise in the Wabash ; it is now at a j;oo(l stage for keel boat navigation, and is yet thing. Smith k Ilolton, Printers and Editors of the Indhnapolis Gazette, have dissolved their partnership; IJolton will hereafter have the entire management of the Gazette, and Smith has issued proposals for a new paper at Indianapolis, to be called The Jacksonian" it is expected the first number will be issued on or before the first of next month. Three paper at Indianapolis i wonder whether Printot thrrc live by eating ? And if they doi whether they do not get it upon tick ? SALT MO. XO POLY. commi'nu'ATio::, It is high time that the attention of the people generally, was directed to the Salt monopoly which now exists on the Wabash and other streams. The extoi lions of these monopolists arc felt by the humblest, as well ns the highest citizen in the country. Salt is almost as indispensable to life as htead, and of all other articles,

it is one which should be dealt out to the

country on the most moderate terms.

A Intel summary of the Salt history for

the last two or three years may not bo umn

teresling. In the year lS-G Kcnhawa Salt

was sold in this place at G2 rents per bushel by the barrel, weighed. In that year the

Sail monopoly had Us origin. The next year

piicc of Salt was 75 cents, weighed

The next year it was 75 cents, Lick weight This year it is Sh Lick weight, which eve

vy one knows "u equal to at least 20 per cent.

a lvalue, r one bushel in the barrel loss to

the buyer.

1 ovii idual enterprise is now at an end;

this company hold the whole cuuntty in bon

dago. If an individual brings Salt here, the

pi ice ni!l be immediately reduced to a rate

by the company which will be certain loss to

the individual. This vas the case at Mcrom

last winter. Under these circumstances no ;no will venture to bring on Salt. The fall and winter is now approaching; let the people ere it is too late attend to this important business. There is hut a small supply of Salt in lite county, and it is just as likely as not that the price will be raised to &l 50, S2 or more, when the demand is greatest and the wants of the people most pressing. V i 1 1 the people allow themselves to be placed in tl'.ts situation ? In the power of mono polists who have no conscience, (forallmom opolists have none,) or will they not rather now when they can avoid it do so ? The river is now in good older, Salt can be had at the Saline works at "() cents per bushel, the freight up will not be more than 40 cents per lOOlbs at all events, Salt can be had here at75 cents per bushel, full weight. Let every man thcrclore in the community provide in time for the wants winch arc sure to come, by placing in the hands of some individual to be agreed upon, from one dollar upwards, as may be convenient, and by thus mining in a body they ivn hive Salt on reasonable terms, and IriHtra'.e the calculations of tiicse blood sucking Salt monopolists, who have no interest in the country, no lellow feeling fur the wants of the people. Keel boats t an be had to go immediately to the Saline, and Salt can be brought up in lime lor every one, if the people will only turn out and put the above plan in execution without del ly. .

FxrrmuoN agvinst Mexico. The expedition lilting out at Havana acrainst the

Mexican states, and which is vciy shortly to sail from the above port, is now pretty generally supposed lobe destined to act immediately against the city ol Vera Cruz, and not agiin.t the ptovince of Yucatan, as was formerly imagined It appears, by strangers just arrived from the last named city, that the castle of San Juan de Uloa is but poorly provisioned ; consequently, should the expedition, by taking the citv, and cutting off all co:mnunu..i,.mn between it and the castle, prevent any assistance being given, the taking of the former would, in all probability, be soon followed by the surrender ol the latter.

as a serious evil among us, but this evil has

been brought upon us by the whites, with

great injustice to them ; the only remedy af

Ernionum, SALisnunn, N. C. July 7 Among the gold found in Burke county, and brought to this town, is a very curious piece, which we are told "is very like a gun lock." It has been suggested to us, by those who have examined this singular piece of mechanism, that it is not impossible the aborigines of the country, ere the arts were introduced among them, may have wrought not only their "gunlocks," but mo3t of their other necessary implements, from the precious metal which a bounds in this section of country. From the discovery of crucibles, &c. it is not unreasonable to infer that these once lords of our

A Valencia letter of 25th April states that shocks of earthquakes, more violent than

Mr. James Shannon St some of his neighbours were lately fishing with a seine near the mouth of Drcnnon's lick on the Kentucky River, in Henry county, when they discovered a land Terapin in the edge of the water. They found it had been injured upon the back and upon examining more closely, they discovered on the shell covering the under part of the body the following inscription: 'L).

By the packet ship Sully, capt. Macy, wc have received our usual supply of French papers, and arc also indebted to capt M. for Paris and Havre Journals to the 1st of June, inclusive, and an English provincial paper of the same date. Wc annex a summary of the most interesting portion of their contents.

The Gazette de France of the 1st of June, observes, "The German Journals have said a great deal of engagements that have taken place between the Russians and Turks. The direct correspondence with the places occupied by the army, contain nothing which confirms this news. It appears that the Russians are endeavouring to turn upon the Balkan, by moving towards Sizcboli, and affecting a debarkation at Bourgas. A concentration of forces at Silistria and Rutcschuck was going on. If the Russians should auccecd in taking Choumla, which the Turks consider the barrier of the empire, the war would be at an end, and it is very probable that they would experience no further obstacles on their march to Constantinople." The same paper says The last accounts from Wallachia and Moldavia make no mention of the defeat of the Russians before Silisttia. which, according to the reports on change, and in commercial letters, is said to have taken place on the 20th of April. Travellers who left the principalities much more recently, heard nothing on the subject." The Nuremberg Correspondent, in giving fresh details of this pretended affair adds, that they were generally supposed to be false, but it was also believed that the Russians had been compelled, after an attempt in which they were convinced of their weakness, to retreat behind their entrenchments and wait for reinforcements. It was also said, that the plague had again made its appearance in the districts occupied by the Russians, and that great distress prevailed among them. Letters from Trieste state that the Greeks continued to blockade Prcyessa. Several

others were shortly expected.

A letter from Vienna, of May 23, publish-

ed in the Paris Moniteur, says The unfa

vourable reports circulated here respecting

the Russian army arc not confirmed."

The letters from Jassy, which first made

mention of them, now contradict them.

Those from Bucharest of the 1st of May,

(new style) written by persons worthy of cre

dit, and well informed of passing events, on

the contrary state, that the siege of Silistria

was about to commence, and for this purpose

the head quarters of the second corps under count Pahlcn, were about to be transferred

to Kallarasch.

A Frankfort paper of the 27th of May, says

From the tenor of our last advices from

Vienna, there was a report on change of the Persians having made an incursion into the Russian territory. It was even said that the

Persians had succeeded in taking by a ccufi de main two strong fortresses, which according to the last treaty of peace, the Shah had ceded to the Muscovites This news had the effect of advancing the funds, as speculators thought they saw a more favorable chance for the T u rks It was also reported as a fact at Vienna, that pecuniary aid had been furnished the Porte through the instrumentality ol the two powers which had the greatest interest in maintaining the empire of the crescent, and without which, it was difficult to imagine how the grand scignor could defray the enormous expenses his armaments cost. A Bucharest article ol the Sth of May says 14 Traces of contagion have ahown themselves not only at Bucharest, but in the army, and nearly twenty men in a regiment of Uhlans cantoned in the village of Hileschtle, near Bucharest, die daily, around which a cordon has been formed, and the officers of the regiment who were at Bucharest weienot permitted to return. Two persons had arrived there who had purchased some clothing of persons suspected of having the disease, and had since died of a disease rest mbling the plague. The president of the divan had informed the inhabitants of the principalities that he had determined to remit a part of the ordinary territorial impost in consequence of the misfortunes they had experienced.
