A memorial of the general Assembly of the state of Indiana to the Congress of the United States, on the subject of removing the obstructions to the navigation of the Wabash and White river vith its branches and of improving the great Western mail route from Louisvi.Ie,(Ky.) througii New Albany, Paoli, Mt. Pleasant Washington and Vincennes in this state. 7b the Honorable, the Senate apd House of Representatives of the United States iti Congress assembled. The general assembly of the state of Indiana, your Memorialists, respectfully and gratefully acknowledging the liber ality, with which the appeals made to the justice, wisdom and beneficence of Congress for the internal improvement of uiis state have been met; and, from the iarc proportion of the public lands iihin our boundaries, yet claimed by ihe general government, estimating 'hesj (Measures as a step of true and enlightened policy, with regard to the reciprocal interests of our country; would
invite your attention to the propriety of
giving efficacy to the means already put into our hands for connecting the principal strem of our state with the Noith-Latcrn lakes, by enabling the state to prepare the residue of the Wa bftsh, and also White river with its bran ch -s, the most centural streams of the f ate, for navigable use at any season ol the year, by removing the obstructions therein; thus giving to the very heuvy population depending upon these streams, in this state and Illinois, a ready
outlet tor exportation, and insuring to
the operations ot the contemplated ca
nal, a lively and constant commerce, and
awakening a new impulse for the set
tlement of the large quantity of public lands connected with and affected by the
improvement of the streams. And would
further rsk yout attention to the neces
si'.y of iniiritdiate aid in the improvef m T-
ment oi tne n am western mail route
tnroegh our state above relerreu to,
which is also the great commercial trav elling thoroughfare, between the East
ern and Western states, and of high na t'onal importance; which although hav
ing received its lull portion of the three per cent, fund of this state, remains al
most, entirely impassable, subjecting the
mail to great irregularity and entire fail ures, and retarding materially the im
portant interests depending upon the
constant use of this public route. And with the view cf its affording to this state, with the most advantage to the
United States, the meansof making the
improvement desired; your memorial
ists would respectfully pray, that your honorable body would grant to the state

Union of Hudson's Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. It is not generally
known that, in rainy seasons, like the
csent, the waters of Hudson's Bay are
U"if;d with those of the Mississippi, and
onsequentlv, with the Gulf of Mexico.
Yet it is a fact, although the Gulf of
Mexico is something like thiry degrees
of latitude sou'.hof Hudson's Bay, there
is a comnlcte communication in nign
water, from one to the other ; and canoes,
evey year, pass from the tributaries of
Hudson's Bay, into those streams which
supply the Mississippi and the Gulf ot
Mexico. Red liver is tributary to Lake
Winnepeek, whose waters have their
estuary in Hudson s nay. Une ot the
piincipal branches of Red river has its
source in JLakc J ravers ; uunng me
dgh water, canoes pass from this Lake
into Big Stone Lake, thence down the
St. Peter's into the Mississinni river.
Again, the Red Fork, another principal
branch of Bed river, is also connected, in
the rainy season, with the head waters of the Mississippi. Thus at certain seas
on3, a person can travel by water from
the Gulf of Mexico, by the way of the
Mississippi, the St. Peter's, and Red
river, to Liake winnepecK; inence
hrough Nelson's river to Hudson's Bay,
and passing through Hudson's Straits
and Davis Straits into the Atlantic, can again arrive in the Gulf of Mexico, with

Bolivar The proclamation of Gen.
Paez, authorizing the citizens of Venez
uela to kill Bolivar, and offering 2,000 dollars for his head, which has lately
sen taking the rounds in the papers ol
this country, turns out to be a complete
hr,ax. "A friend fsays the Journal of
Commerce) has shown us the original ol the so called Proclamation of Paez. It proves to be, not a decree of Paez, nor a
decree at all, but only a form of a decree..
which the editor of the Caraceas Farma-
copolo says ought to be issued."
Lorenzo Dow is preaching at Wash
ington City. This anecdote is related of
him as a well authenticated fact : At

served that he was inclined to matri

ted to rise. A lady a little advanced in
life, gave the required intimation. Lo

and shared her fortune with him.
The London Morning Herald of tfie
1 9th April says:
"Whilst the Americans delay making .
any concessions themselves, they trust
that their Ministers in London will tease
our Government to admit them to a par ticipation in the West India Trade, a
gainst which the Council and Assembly
of New Brunswick have petitioned the
Crown in the strongest terms. The London World of the 21st April says "Thousands of the most industri

ROBBERY OF THE MAIL. Circumstances having transpired
few days ago to induce the belief that
the U. S. Mail had been robbed of a con
siderable amount of monev some where between Wheeling and Pittsburgh, Mr. Eichbaum, the postmaster at the latter place, Mr. Morgan; the postmaster here, and some other persons connected with the department, commenced their operations for detection. A letter had been mailed, one day last week, by Marcus Wilson, merchant at Wheeling for Pittsburgh, enclosing SI 000 the money had been taken out, and the envelope received at Pittsburgh tilled with waste paper, on which was certain scribbling which induced t he suspicion that the robbery might have been committed at
the CiaysviUe postofhee. Messrs. Eichbaum and Morgan started for that place, where their suspicions were strengthened. Christian Weirich, the post master at CUysvillC) had gene to Wheeling
tile establishment at the former place, and they followed him an examination of him took place at Wheeling, and they found upon his person the identical thousand dollars inclosed by Mr. Wilson in the letter. Weirich was forthwith secured, and ledged in jail at Wheeling, from whence he will be taken to Pittsburgh for trial in the United States District court. On examining the desk of Weirich at Claysville, other sums of money have been found, which arc supposed to have been stolen by him from the mail. So far as these particu his go, wc believe they are substantially correct should others transpire, cur readers will be advised of them. Separate from the above transaction of Weirich's, which indeed is of so black a character that it seems to present scarcely a redeeming quality, we have never heard aught alleged by those who have had dealings with him against his honesty. He is probably worth from ten to fifteen thousand dollars may be said to be out of debt and was driving a very extensive and profitable mercan
tile business at Claysvide u til the very moment of his detection, He was charitable, accommodating and liberal. He has extensive and respectable family connexions in various parts of the state; has several small children without a mother, and we regret to say they had better have been without a father also, as
one upon whom rests such unmitigating guilt. Washington Examiner.

THE UN MASKER UNMASKED1. In January last, a paper was commen
ced, entitled, "The New York Amulet and Ladies Religious Chronicle;" which
Irom the favorable impression made by
a copy forwarded to this office, it was noticed in the March number of the
Calvinistic Magazine. This is an Uni
versalist publication, and was so announ
ced in those copies of the first number
which were sent to Univertalists; but the article revealing the cloven foot was
taken out of the copies sent to persons
of other denominations, and the space
filled with unexceptionable matter. By this stratagem, worthy of the faith of an Universalist, many editors, not suspecting the craft had put on the mask, no ticed the new paper, and recommended it to the public. The editor of the Amulet says, that there are several other Universalist papers on the same plan. T. Fisk is the editor of the "Amulet" he is also the editor of "Priestcraft Unmasked!" Is this the vjay he unmasks others? Calvinistic Magazine. John Randolph has accepted the Mission to Russia, and recommended John Randolph Clay, of Philadelphia, as Secretary of Legation.
