The law of last session requires that the Commissioners shall make the selection by the first of December next, and also, makes it the duty of the Governor to correspond, without delay with the Commissioner of the General Land Office at Washington, and ask instructions as to the location of the lands. The Commissioners on the 3rd of June last, called on the Governor to ascertain their duty, and the place where the lands were to be selected. The Governor informed them that he had written to the proper department for instructions, but that none had yet been received, but so soon as they should be received, he would give them due notice. The Com missioners have received no notice up to this date from his Excellency, but Gen. Tipton has informed them that he is instructed, from Washington, to accompany them, with two Pottawatamie Chiefs, in order to make the selection. The Ten Mile Purchase, near Lake Michigan is a desirable tract of country, and Gen. Tipton informs the Commissioners that it is within the limits of the lands subject to selection. I he difficulties of the case are these the valuable lands of the St. Joseph, Elkhart and Ten Mile Purchase, arc advertised to be sold, on the 1st and 3rd Mondays in October next, by the United States, and unless the Road Commis sioners can make their selections prior to those sales, they will be compelled to select the refuse lands, which will be left after these general sales. The Commis sioners are without authority from the Governor, in pursuance of law ; but Judge Polke is now here on his way to Logansport to examine the state of affairs, and the extent of Gen. Tipton's instructions. The Governor is absent, and the doubt is whether the Commissioners can act without specific instructions from him, and also whether the Land Officers will be justified in withholding such lands as the Commissioners may select, from public sale in October, unless specially instructed. The Commissioners are willing to take any responsibility upon themselves wkich their situation mav urge, but thev are very doubtful that legislative lenity will have to cover some of their acts, or the interest of the road be jeopardized, Indiana Democrat. From the Chihcothe Evening Pott, FACTS. General Jackson has paid, since the 4th of March, 1829, 16 months, 5516,000,000 of the Public Debt!! The Dafalcationsof only thirteen persons under the late administration, amount to 2380,oco III

ancinoAN' a state. In the legislative council of Michigan

territory, on the 7th instant, a bill to nrovidc for a state government in that part of the territory lying cast of lake Michigan, was read the first time and laid on the table. Governor Houston, late of Tennessee, and more recently a resident among the Chcrokecs ot the Arkansas, is it seems, about to try his fortune in the Indian trade. During a late visit to New-York, he, in connexion with a gentleman from Nashville, purchased goods to the amount of twenty thousand dollars, for this express purpose. Ho has been adopted us the son of Jolly, a Cherokee chief. GENUINE BULLISM. The London Quarterly Review asks what the United States have beer, doing since, "in an excess of passion, ihey chose to fling themselves away from their 1 1. I' I . . King, ana to relinquish the immense ben efits arising from the government checked by a powerful aristocracy, and allied w i h a charch establishment." Nothing, it re plies, but propagating the specks, and chopping down the forests." Well this allows that we have been doing something! but we have also been employed in teaching Mr. Bull some les ions on navigation, and in the use of "shooting irons," on the water, which he thought was all his own; and John owes his steam boat, and a few other small things to us. Besides, wc have made some cotton and wool spindles and looms, and now manulacture more articles than he himself did thirty or forty years ago. We have also dug some canals and made a few roads and bridges. Less than thrco millions of free people have increased to about ten millions and wc have attended to some other matters and, without "a church establishment" have less paupertsm, (except ot John s own people cast up on our charit),) than a single British county exhibits. Silcs. HEIRS OF FULTON. Our readers will lecoilect a plan pro posed s .me time stnee, to raise a fund for the benefit of Fulton's heirs, by placing a box on board each steamboat, in which one cent ot the passage money ot every passenger should be deposited 1 he work has commenced. The Fred ericksburg Arena informs us, Hut this plan became the subject of conversation among some gentlemen on board the Patuxent, on her way t Frtdencksburg on Friday last, when Messrs Jamts M. Garnett; Joseph C. Cabell, Augustine Neal, and John Waring, determined tpresent a box to the new steamboat Rap pahannock, with a request that hc might be the first to try the cxpt'rimuii. The box was accordingly made awd Hie next morning presented; ati the p'opnetors who could be met with expressing much gratification at having an opportanity lo set so praiseworthy an example. The box has the tallowing inscription : ONE CENT BOX. LF.T INDIVIDUAL GRATITUDE COMPENSATE FULTONS HEIRS, FOR NATIONAL NEGLECT. We trust that this example will be imitated on board of every steamboat on the American waters ; and the harvest will be abundant and national, as it ought to be. St Louis June 22. RETURN OF THK PKACK EMBASSY. The steam boat Chieftain returned from Prairie du Chien on the evening of the 20th inst. having or. board Gen. Clark, Superintendent of Indian Affairs, and Messrs Dougherty and Huees, A gent and Sub. Agent, with many Chiefs i ttr : r-1 t . r . i anu w arnurs. i uc oujcci 01 me expedition was accomplished. About ten tribes, to wit, Sacs, Foxes, Sioux, Iowas, Winebacroes, Menomonies, Chinpewas, Potawattamies, Sec. cc. met at the rrairie, and under the peaceful mediation of Gen. Clark and Col. Morr-an, adjusted their differences, terminated their wars, and removed the causes of future dissensions by settling various disputed questions of boundary and hun ting, and made amends to the relations of the deceased for many murders. This latter operation is called covering the dead the cover of course being lUrnished by the United States. In ad dition to the settlements of these strifes the commissioners mad an arauisition of territory by way of enlargement of that acquired by Mr. Adams' admints tration in 1825, for the new residence of removed Indians Mr. Adams required 70 millions of acres for that purpose extending from the Arkansasto the Mis soun: the latter acquisition binds it on the north. Thus, in the short space of four weeks, the distance of six hundred milt i twice over, has been traversed In dians collected from an immense region, great objects accomplished, and all returned home. Gen. Clark has been heard to say, that there will be no more Indian wars, if the wise and humane policy adopted by President Jackson on this occasion, shall be followed by his successors As an incident in this expedition, strikingly exemplifying the progress of things in the Great West" it may be added, that the lady and daughter of Gen. Clark, and ssveral travellers, of whom two were foreigners, the Count del Verme, of Italy, and Mr. Hamilton of G. Britain, went on (o the Falls of St. Anthony, 400 miles further, while the treaty was holding, spent the 4th of July there, and returned ith the J rest. Beacon.

We If iff. that Vra. C. Greenup Esq. the commissioner appointed to superintend the opening of the rational road throughthe state, will commence opera tions immediately. He will begin at the Indiana state line, and proceed to this place, contracting for each mile of the road onthe ground, as he passes on. He will then locate himself here, to superintend the work. The road is to be opened eighty feet wide; thirty feet in the centre is to be made perfectly smooth, by grubbingout all the stumps, removing every obstruction and grading the road; on the remaining fifty feet, the trees are to be cut down, eighteen inches from the ground, and rolled ofT. We hope to lay some further particulars before our readers next week. Illinois Int. Information has been received at the Department of State, that a treaty between the United States and the sublime porto wag signed at Constantinople onthe 7th of Mav last, bv Mr. Charles RhhuU on the part of the former, and the re is cfTendi, or minister of foreign affairs of that govcrnment, on the part of the latter; and that the treaty secures to the commerce & navigation of the United States, all the advantages enjoyed by the most favored nations, in the ports or dominions of the Turkish empire, ami a free passage for their vessels to and from the Black sea; that firmans had been obtained, and despatched by Mr. Rhind to commodore Bid die, the commander of our naval forces in tho Mediterranean and Levant, and Mr. OlHey, our consul at Smyrna, authorizing them to proceed to Constantinople by land, for the purpose of adding their signatures to thc treaty in question, those officers being associated with Mr. Rhind, in the commission for the conclusion of tho same, and that as soon as this formality should be accomplished, the treaty would bo forwarded to this government. Mr. Rhind left the United States in the month of October or November, of the last year, upon this interesting mission. U, 6'. Tel.

From the National Gazette We have before us a letter daied Carthagena, July 2d, fiom a very respecta ble source. It confirms the intelligence of the assassination of General Sucre on the 2d of June, within a few leagues of Pasto. General Obano is accused of having employed a party to waylay him, but Obando retained the confidence of the President Mosquera, who is described as 'a very gentlemanly man, not deficient in abili'y." No changes had been made in the ministry at Bogato. Generat Bnceno Mendoz, former Prefect of Venezuela, was to leave Carihagena in a few days for Caracas, in order to cooperate in reuniting that ptovincc to the general republic, und causing it to re cognize the new government at Bogota. Boiivar, it was understood, intended to remain, as his personal influence was deemed indispensable for the restoration of general order and union The primary election for electors will take place in the beginning of September, and the latter will appoint the President onthe 23d October. Mosquera was believed to be ambitious of the po3t, but it is pi o bable that Boiivar will be chosen. The writer of the letter from which we have drawn these statements, adds "This department, which is the key to New Grenada, has alone remained tranquil, from respect to the presence of General Bolivar. The Peruvians are augmenting their military fotcc, in order to profit by the internal disorders of Colombia, and may invade the southern departments with a view to their annexation to Peru. Revolutionary agents have been bent by them to Panama, for the same purpose. The present change in Co lombia is brought about by the citizens. ti From the National Gazette. We have received the Supplement to the Gaceta de Carthagena, of the 23th ult. It contains various official docu ments, shewing a reaction in Venezuela in favor of the Liberator and the gene ral government at Bogota. The editor states that letters from Valencia of the 23d May had been received, in which as surance were given that the counter revolution would oe general. A vessel has arrived at Baltimore from Laguira which port she left on tho 1 5th ult. and then political tranquility was theVe said to prevail in the province We shall soon know what was the real state of the case. We do not doubt that the Bolivarian party was the strongest throughout the republic of Colombia. It is positively stated in letters from Mexico, that Guerrero had attacked Byavo and Berdejo, and completely rou ted them. Poland. The number of manufac tories in Poland, in 1815 was 100; it is now 6000. Among other articles they produce 7,000,000, elisor cloth per an num. In the end of 1829, the popu lation ol the kingdom was 4,088,249 being an increase of 383,953 since 1823' BERLIN, JUNE 6. A steam carriage is to ply between Dresden and Leipsic, and to perform me journey in nve hours. The hurri canes of the 25th May, threw down in the circle of Krossen, 160 houses, three wind mills and a church steeple, 400 sheep and oxen and two men were killed, and many received serious injury. Immensc damage is dne to the forests, and several thousand fruit trees destroyed.

The Country. The following short paragragh includes more good practical advice than many a volume of seimens: From the American Farmer, of July 16, From all quarters of the country wc have account of abundant harvests of wheat, and that the quality is very superior. The weather in our immediate neighborhood is most favorable for ccrn, as far as hot suns and frequent showers can insure a good crop. Farmers who are out of debt, may keep so by observing wholesome economy and simplicity in their household and mode of living, but estates are rapidly crumbling to pieces, and families falling into poverty by frequent legal and voluntary divisions. Those whose mothers rode in carriages must ride on horseback, and thedaughtcis of those w ho ride on horseback will have to walk. This general progress of things may he retarded by restricting our labor and manure to smaller spaces,

and by great economy and great saving by giving aay old horses, if you can find any body fools enough to take them, and substituting oxen and mules for young ones, as favt as possible; by driv ing the idle sons from the parental roof, as the hen does her chickens, when they can provide for themselves, in short, by keeping no dead capital and feeding no idle mouths: and by regarding as the first object of ambition to be out of debt with a clean conscience and a clean shirt. Hard Times. It is a fact that nine tenths ot the young men of the present day, by some means have come to the conclusion, that it is degrading to till the soil, or to perform any sort of manual labour for a livelihood; they seem to entertain the idea that they are all born to literature, that they possess intuitive ly the skill of the Lawyer, the Physi cian, the Clergyman, the Merchant or the Author; that they have nothing to do but to hie themselves to New-York, Bos ton or some other city, as soon as they are fairly fledged, and can be trusted out of the reach of their mother's apron strings, and that their superlative ta lents will at once bring them into notice. With hese views, many a young man who might have made a most excellent Farmer or Mechanic, leaves his home, is gone two or three years, expends, perhaps, half his kind father's fortune, which he has laboured hard to amass, and returns a poor lazy, idle blockhead, complaining of "hard times." This is; the case often, very often. If all those young men who have been born and bred ; to the most honorable of all employ mcnts, tillers of the soil, would attend to their business, instead of gadding off, and attempting to become contemptible coxcombs, we should seldom hear of 4thard times." New Hampshire Spec, Insurrection of the Blacks onthe Eastern shores of Alary land A report was in circulation just as our paper was going to press, that an insurrection of the blacks had taken place in Dorchester county. Our informant, the Eastern Stage driver, did not know that any lives had been lost Two houses had been burned in Cambridge, and about 50 blacks had been committed to prison. Centreville ( Md ) Times.
