Tho report of the Secretary of the Treasury, referred to in the speech of Mr. Benton, published last week, 13 given in this day's paper. The Wabash river has commenced falling, but is yet almost up to tho top of its banks. The Commissioners upon the Evansville and Lafayette Rail Road, arc to meet at this place on Monday next. Gcnl Jamks P. Drake, has been appointed Receiver of Public moneys at this place, in the room of Dr. J. D. Woolverton whose term ef service had expired. The first Monday in August is almost here, and Knox county, has as yet, no candidate, for the office of Coroner. The office is an important one, and should be respectably filled. Will the present one continue to serve, if re-elected 7 Mr. Re.vd, a candidate for Governor, w ill be in this place on Monday the 21st inst. and will address as many of his fellow citizens as can make it convenient to attend. ' ' On the last anniversary of American Independence, Col. Francis Vigo, was specially invited to Vigo county, to join in the celebration of the day and it affords me pleasnrc to publish tho following extract from their proceedings. Ed. Sun. After the fourth toast had been responded to, tho Committee of Arrangements called on Capt. James Wasson for a sentiment; whereupon, he rose and offered the following: Our venerable guest ', Col. Fmncis Vigo. Who, fifty-four years since, (February 1770) efficiently aided the cause of Liberty by guiding Col. Clark from Kaskaskia to Vincenncs, and to victory dislodging our enemies from that important post. When the deafening applause which followed the reading of this toast had subsided, Col. Vigo stood up, and, by his friend, L. II. Scott, Esq. responded to it us follow? : Mr. Prcsixfeni and Gentlemen: I am requested by my venerable friend at my side, whose faculties are ull somewhat impaired by age, except indeed the faculties of the heart, to tender to this respectable company his most profound acknowledg ments for the honor conferred on him by the sentiment just offered, and the very kind manner in which it has been received. I am further instructed to say to this company, and to tho citizens of Vigo county generally, that nothing could have given him greater pleasure than to have availed himself of some of the many kind invitations heretofore given him to visit a county endeared to him, as well by the many valued friends which he says it is his pride to number among its inhabitants, us tho circumstance that he is honored by its bearing his own name. But, Mr. President, his age, infirmities, and the afflictive dispensations of Providence, havo from timo to time denied him that happiness. By the kindness of his friends, he has at length been enabled to accomplish what he has so long and so ardently desired; and the cordial greeting he has received from all quarters since his arrival among n, he bids me say, has produced feelings of gratitude, which no circumstance of a Jong and eventful life has been calculated tA render more permanent, and w hich he phall always cherish with peculiar pleasure. In conclusion, fir, my friend desires me t offer on his behalf the following sentiment: The county cf Vigo and her intelligent citizens: May their prosperity be comrr.cnsurate with their kindness and hospitality. Col. Blake then rose and addressed the company. He could not permit the present occasion to pass, without publicly expressing the grateful sense entertained by him for the attentions he had individually received from our venerable guest. When, many years ago, he (Col. Blake) come to establish his residence in tho valley of the Wabash, Col. Vigo was among the first acquaintances made by him. At that time, this venerable man was in affluent circumstances the pride of the society in which he moved the hospitable entertainer of the respectable stranger from every section of the Union. His house was, indeed, the temple of hospitality the seat of generous feeling, unmixed with the dross of a single passion beyond the desire to make his friends happy. As a public man a pioneer in the settlement of this beautiful country Col. Vigo is well known. During a long life, full of reverses and chances, in nfllucncc and in poverty, in health and in sicUnee , in the hall cf pavetv, as

Ai mat umc, Col. Vico was an opulent mercnani, cecp ly engaged in commerce with the Indians, and emoting to an unlimited extent the! confidence of that singular people. Here Col. Blaka related several anecdotes, illustrating the heroic virtues of the guest, and exhibiting a self-denial worthy the imitation of every citizen who embarks in the service of his country. When the expedition of Gen. George Rogers Clark was undertaken, continued Col. B. for the pur-

iCol. Vigo had much at stake in pjreserv- j

ing the men existing state ot things, lie was not the man to coldly calculate Jthe chances of war, or hesitate botween Vie own interest on the one hand, and' tfev! tion to his adopted country on the otherTi No, Mr. President, our honoured guest was too much ol a patriot to look at his own individual interest, when tho prospenly ot his country, and the cause of human liberty itself, were perilled on the issue then begun. Like a man whose heart is always right with a self-denying generosity he volunteered as the guide ot the American forces, through the trackless wilderness stretching from Kaskaskia to the then Post St. Vincent, undergoing every spccic3 of fatigue, but, in the language of Capt. Wasson toast, leading to victory. The capture of the neighboring town of Vincenncs, then held by the enemy, was the result of this bold and daring enterprise, undertaken, carried on, and consummated with a heroism never surpassed in the history of western warfaro. Sixty years resilience in the "Wa bash country,continued Col. B gives to FttANCis Vigo a large claim on the affections of his fellow-citizens a claim which this county, bearing his honored name, will not be backward in discharging, on all proper occasions. The generous character of the man his public services, his noblo devotion to the require mentsof duty at once point to him as a man whom his country should delight to honor. During a life protracted beyond the common lot of man lengthened out to tho verge of one hundred years Col. Vigo never asked his adopted country fur any thing never sought office pension --power or place; but, relying on the fruits of early industry, is content to suffer tho short span the narrow isthmus between himself and the urave, to run out sustained by an approving conscience. and cheered by the blessings of a grateful people.

We are informed by a gentleman who came off the steamer Lancaster last evening, (on her way up) that yesterday the 20th, sometime in the day, the passengers of that boat were called to witness one of the most awful scenes that could be imagined. By some mishap or other, a Mr. Wilson Watly, of the cabin, while passing through the engine house was caught by the 11 y wheel, and instantaneously severed in two by the irresistible force of that powerful machine; his head, arms, and breast were fund in the hold, and tho other part of his body still Ir.mg above. This unfortunate man, we are informed, was on his way home to Evansville, la. Further parilculars we did not learn, mora than that he was interred at the.mouth of Grand Piere, not being far from where the accident occurred, and but a few miles below this place, on the Ohio river. From this circumstance we hope men will take warning how they conduct themselves whilo in the engine room. Journal. CoiNciDnrvci:. The 20th of May the day on which Gen. Lafayctto expired is somewhat marked in Chronological History. On that date of the month, Americus Vespucius sailed on his first voyage of discovery, and that ftc of the month witnessed the last mor?ivp4gonies of Christopher Columbus. V"""" On the 20th of May, Gen. Lafayette, with un'mferior force, baflled the Britisl General, Grant, who at the head of 7,50( men atteniptcj to surprise the Marquis, a Barron HiH Lafavcttc retreaton tha with un'mferior force, baflled the British 500 at fayette's retreat on that occasion, was pronounced a masterly militorr itt'i nrtMivpzi It was on the 20th of May, at a later period, that Lafayette's hopes of a free rrench republic, experienced a total des truction, in the cerenionia, where Napoleon Bonaparte was declared Emperor. These coincidences may appear trivial, but they are curious, and worthy of a pas sing notice. Albany Advertiser. The Eastern papers givo a curiou3 ac count of tho position of the inhabitants, of the town of Madawaska, which u situated in the disputed territory, be tween the State ot Maine, and the British province of New Urunswick. Ino town has been incorporated by the Maine Legislature, yet the British authorities have taken possession, built a court house, and levied a tax, which they collect with much rigor. A memo rial which the inhabitants were preparing to tho United States Government, asking for protection and assistance, was forcibly suppressed and destroyed. A delegate has been despatched to the Governor of Maine to ask his interposition in their behalf. The result of the Mission is not known. Baltimore American.

The packet ship Congress, captain Colins, from Vera Cruz, has arrived, and brings advices from the city of Mexico to the 3d of June, and from Vera Cruz to the 0th of that month. Indirect intelligence from Mexico by tho way of New Orleans had already prepared us to lcirn that political affairs there were in a very unsettled state, and tins the present arrival fully confirms. So contradictory however are the accounts and so various the opinions expressed, according to the predilections of the different writeis, that it is totally impossible to orm a correct opinion of the existing state of things in that country, or of the precise causes which produced them. The inter est too which we arc accustomed to feel in the fate of this and the other ne'.y republics in our southern hemisphere, is fast dying away under the instability of all the ditterent governments they have essayed, and the conviction which is saining ground, lhat they possess few or none of the capabilities of self-government. Santa Anna, who but so lately was the icro of a new revolution, and afterwards elected to the Presidency of the republic, is now by some represented as huvin de serted the cause he pretended to espouse. uuu waiiu m consolidating alt power in us own hands. banta Anna who but ately promulgated a decree, depriving tho Roman Church of one of its greatest privileges, is now represented as making common cause with that church, in opposition to the interest of the people. This much is certain, that t1Q Church is at the bottom of the present disturbed state of affairs. Wo do not wonder at it. Djpi)y rooted as is the influence of the Romish Church in tho mother country, ii exercises a still greater power over the minds of tho mass of the people in the countries which were once colonies, and wc are well convinced that no government can exist there in tranquility for half a cen tury to come, which does not respect these opinions or prejudices, which ever they i ti .... may ue called, in their full extent. The city of Vera Cruz continues its adhesion to the cause of Santa Anna. rampicoor. tho contrary, has declared against him. The convoy fur Vera Cruz had been stopped, and, the money withi i .... urawn wnicn was to be lorwarded bv it. M any of tho members of tho Lcisla ture had been arrested by order of the vjovcrniaent, and a new ministry form ed. The Congress had sjpended its sit tings in consequence of an order horn banta Anna. Tho State of Peubla had declared against the Government, and a force had been despatched from Mexico to reduce it to submission. In many other places similar examples of disaffection had been shewn. We must wait further accounts ere we can judge of the relative strenth of the Government and its opponents. y. Y. Courier, and Una. DIED.
