In the first pane of to-davV paper, w ill lc found Mr Barbour's valedictory I do nt ask f -r it a reading, but merely refer to the plaee where it may be fuimd. An csnv signed, 'No Oilke Seeker,' h? been received through the Postotiiee. To get for it an insertion, the writer must leave his name. The corporation of Madison, have by an ordinance, forbidden the erection of wooden buildings of any kind, within naid town, and imposes a penalty of ten dollars f r everv twentv-four hours such building may remain after the party is notified by the'mandial. What would the god eiti-7-ns of the borough of Vincennes, say to ivich an ordinance ? Frctn the IsAiUvillc Public advertiser. TO TUB PUBLIC. Improvement of the Navigation of the Ohio river at the Grand Chain. The superintendant of that work, feels much gratified to be able to inform the public, that he has completed his operalions ar that point, in a manner ar.d loan extent which cannot fail to be satisfactory to every individual concerned Thcj locks have been all taken out of the riv:r from the main reef on the Illinois! shore to the Kentucky shore, opening a I channel at extreme low water, trcm t lie sand bar on the Kentucky shore of about twelve hundred feet in width and four i'ett in depth, clear of every obstruction. Five buoys have been placed in the dream to shew those unacquainted with the place, the best and safest track thro' the chain. The first or upper buoy, is placed at the extreme outward rocks ol the reef, which project out from the Illi uois shore at Wilkinsonville or Cedar liluiT. The second buoy is situated on the left side of the middle reef of rocks that form what is commonly called the middle bar, at the head of the chain The third buoy is fixed opposite to the upper large rocks on the Illinois shore ami on the outward point of that reef. The fourth buoy is fastened to the outermost lock on the middle rect. The fifth and last buoy lies at the extreme end of the lower reef and foot of the chain. The deepest water through the channel at its lowest stage is close to the buoys on the left as you descend the river ; however, -any boat that can cross the bar3, cither above or below the Grand chain, may pass with safety, and an abundance of -water within several hundred feet o the "buoys, between them and the Kentucky shore, at all stages of the water. A boat should pass between the buoys and the Kentucky shore, and unless the river should be very high she would run extreme hazard to pass between the buoys and the Illinois shore, as the rocks on the two lower reefs, are from ten to twelve feet above the water at its extreme low stage, and within a few rods of the buoys on that side. The rocks that have been removed nut of the channel were carried over and thrown into the channels that passed rlowu through the rocks on the Illinois shore, in such a manner as to form a complete dam (by adding some rocks boated from shore) from the rock baron the Illinois shore to the outer point cf the main reef. By that dam the whole of the water, when the river is at lov stage. is forced to pas3 down the channel that had been opened and freed Irom rocks. The above described dam was built for the purpose of removing the sand bar which was situated between the two lower reefs of rocks and frequently difficult to pass as any bar on the river, there being not more than 22 inches of water 0:1 it, and has had the desired effect. The additional quantity of water thrown into th channel, increased the current to such an extent, that the bar disappeared, some days before the dam lvas completed The large rock in the Little chain has been taken off two feet on the top, which affords sufficient water over it ; a buoy has been placed on a rock to the left of

it. The right is the best and deepest. has been appointed by the President to Another buoy has been placed on a; the office of District Attorney of the large rock in the middle of the river, be- United States for the Western district of twecn the dry bar and the Illinois shore, Pennsylvania, is a brother of the distin-thr-e-quarters of a mile above the Little I guished member of Congress of that

chain The best water is also to the light of that buoy. The sand bars in the Ohio river may be improved, by running out dams at certain places on them, in the same manner as the dam above described -, so as to cffonl at least three and a half feet water at the lowest stage of the river. No impediment would be thrown into the way of the navigation at a higher st3ge r ..... 1... . 1. ,l. vi waici, . rmancnV ouoys coukl uc piaceu on me outer points of the dams. The navigator Tr-ould be able to st:c how far the work Extended into the river. A 11 it-bottom-d b;ut would never float on the dams, Viiitil there was water sufficient for her to pass over. The expense of such an improvement would be trifling, compared with the immense advantage of doubling tl.edpthoT water in the river at its lowtot stage. HENRY M SHREVE, Superintendent, kc.

I the Ohio river, at the Grand chain, made j by captain Henry M. Shreve, the superi intendent under the engineer depart

Editors of papers on the western rivers, will confer a favor on the community by pi vim; the foregoing an insertion, for the information ut those navigating the Ohio river. Boundary Link. It will be remembered that the line of Boundary and separation between the Slates of Kentucky and Tennessee was settled by a Conventional agreement between the two States on the 2d February, 1820. And it was also by the said instrument agreed, "that whenever the Governor of either State shall deem it expedient to have the boundary between the two States, which is East of Tennessee river, or any part thereof, run and plainly marked, he shall cause a notification thereof to be communicated to the Governor of the other sare and thereupon, with all con venient despatch, two surveyors shall be appointed tor that purpose, one by lhtfj Govr rnor of each state. &c and they ! shall ai' crtain, survey, aed mark the said line plainly and durable. Sec. Sec " We learn that the Governor of Kentucky has recently notified the Governor of this State, that he deems it expedient to have the aid line run and plainly marked it not having been heretofore dene, and that he has appointed Doctor Munsell, surveyor cn the part of Kentucky. We are also informed that the Governor of this State has appointed James Bright, Esq of Faycttcville, stir veyor on the part of Tennessee, and that ihe parties, with rheir assistants, were to assemble at Franklin, Simpson county, Kentucky, on Monday the 1 st inst. forthwith to begin their labcrs. The surveying and marking cf this line are certainly necessary, and we feel assured, from the skill of the persons employed, that it will be accurately and satisfactorily done. Nashville Republican. The opposition not long since gave us sundry lectures; on the subject of "reactions" and "changes." A few of the counties in New York, have given some remarkable illustrations. For instance Renssalaer county which gave nearly 400 majority, for Adams m 1828, has given 2000 for the Jackso 1 Governor. Columbia county, which gave about 200 for Adams in 1828, has given 700 tor the Jackson Governor. Albany, which gave about 250 for A dams, has elected a Jackson member of Congress, over Judge Spencer, the Clay leader in the House of Representatives by about 500 Bait. Republican We arc informed that intelligence has been received at the Department of State of the arrival of Mr. Randolph at St. Petersburgh, where he was most cordially received by the Emperor. It is, however, with deep concern that we state that his health, soon after his landing, experienced so rapid Sc threatening a decline astorend-r his immediate re moval to a mere genial climate indis pensable to the preservation of his life. He arrived at Londcn on the 29th Sep tember, on his way to the South of France, where it is his intention, with the approbation of the President, to spend the ensuing winter, and to return to St Petersburgh in the spring, if the state of his health will admit of it.
