DKi At lti:us Our remarks. lat week, on the conduc
of Dr. Wnik ins, might possibly have con
everithe idea of a gr?ater degree oftur
pitule than the c e would iu-tify. The
judgment of the Court had not been finally
passed againt the accused, as we would
have been au'horized by a respectable pa
per then betore u, to state. The verdict
ot the jury was considered not sufficient to eive final judgment upon; and therefore
that verdict was set aside, and a venire fa.
cias de novo, (order for a new trial.) a
warded. The verdict and pi idpnr w hirl.
have been published, give us no reason, however, to change our opinion concern ingthe guilt of the accused, as we are, uot
disposed to urge in his favor any technical defence, while the facts are before ug. But we have thought it little sii.inge, that as Dr. Watkins was appointed by
Monroe, on the strong recommendation of
inators Tawell and White, and many-
other gentlemen who are now leading characters of the same party, 90 great a degree of censure should be heaped upon the members of the late administration, for his transgression. And it cannot be through
a desire to feast upon the defamation of
this noiv n;i-er. blc man, whose wife and children aie alr iuly made wretched forever, that his case ia'!uded to in the defence of every removal that is made! No it i" because it may possibly answer the purpose designed cast suspicion on honest and faithful officers, whose removal
The Circuit Court remained m session
on Wednesday several hours, awaiting the
lecision of the Grand Jury on the fresh in
dictments against Dr. Watkins sent up by
the United State1 Counsel the day before.
At two o clock the Grand Jury came into
Court w ith a true bill in the 2,000 dollar
case, wherein the money was drawn Irom
Mr. Harris, Navy Agent at Boston. This is one of the cases in w hich the indictment first found was some w eeks ago quashed by
the Court, and the present bill is intended j
to supply the defects w hich proved fatal to
its predecessor. If no exception be taken to it by the defendant's Counsel, we presume they will go to trial on it immediate
ly.
Another, and only one other, indictment against T. Watkins was betore the G. Jury
on Wednesday. This was an indictment
for felony, under the statute, for having, as was charged, feloniously altered certain accounts (the abstract of Mr. Harris.) rendered to his olhVe for settlement, with intent to defraud the United States. This indictment was negatived by the Grand Jurv, and returned "ignoramus." One or more additional indictments are understood to be prepared by the United
Matet Counsel against the prisoner, in
cases heretofore unsuccessfully presented.

Dutch JWatf. Sir Richard Phillips, when young, published and conducted the Leicester Herald for several years (he became editor of the London Monthly Magazine in 1795.) Paying a visit in afteryears to Nottingham, one of his ancient readers came to him with fk number of the Herald, to call him to
account for the trouble the reader and his friends had had in endeavoring to decipher an article headed "Dutch Mail." Sir Richard immediately recol
lected the article, and the circumstances under which it was published: One evening before the day of publication 2 columns of matter in type were accidentally overturned. It was necessary to prepare 4 or 500 papers in season for the Nottingham and Derby conches at 4 o'clock in the morning; but after every exertion nearly a column waa
wanting. A column of pi (a miscellaneous jumble of types gathered from the floor &.c, and set on end in any
way to be distributed at leisure) stood
temptingly on a Hgalley .rt Some of the
etters were bottom upwords, 12 or 15
consonants or as many vowela often Mood together, &c. The head "Dutch
Mail," with a statement that want of time had prevented the article being translated, was inserted, and the space filled with pi as original Dutch. Eng
lish matter was prepared in time for the
part of the day a papers to be distributed in the vicinity; hut the literati of Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire for a
long time cudgelled their brains to interpret Sir Uichard Phillips' 'Dutch
Mail."

Communicated. Mr . Editor;
Your paper of to day, presents a
statement of the votes ci en to the differ
cnt aspirants for olhce, in Wayne county,
at ttie late anual election. And although 1 am not one of the chosen number for the representation of the county, in the ensu
ing session ot the Legislaure, I cheerfully
submit to tne decision ot the people: as be
ing ever favourable to a Republican form of Government. I think it perfectly right, that in all such cases, a majority should carry; nevertheless, 1 feel ny self as ably qualified to legislate as though I were just about to enter on the duties of the task, and bhould the members now chosen, at anytime, either previous to, or during the session, feel "thefaselves at a los, or under any embarrassments in regard to the business necessary to be done, they will find me ever ready, on application, to give the best counsel my capacity affords. There is considerable business that I think merits the
attention of the Legislature, the next session, and here, by way of introduction, I will briefly touch on a few of the many cases which I think necessary to be acted on. And, 1st. I w ould think well of a new revision of our Code of Laws, as it would render the practice of young Justices of the Peace more easy than iu the present situation. There is now, the enactments of four
sessions subsequent to the revision of the
iuoc, m wiutn a numner 01 parts ot nets have been repealed; and a Justice, when a case of some criticality is laid before him, must first examine the Revised Code to see if he can find any law touching it, and if so, then search each, or some one of the sub
sequent enactments, to see if any part, or
now much of that law, is amended or repealed; which, in some cases, is no doubt, tedious. The next case I shall touch on, is the late act relating to the sale of School
Lands . I think there would be a propriety in having it amended, as it appears in its present state to be of a nature quite
complex, anu more prolix than explanatory. I think it might be abridged, and at the same time, rendered more explicit, and might, perhaps, affoid some bonnes forour funding Commissioner, who is probably waiting with some degree of anxiety to embark in the duties of his office, but in consequence of the people not favouring u sale of their lands under the present act, he is left rather in a state nt suspense. And further, I would like to have the fifty ninth section of the act relative to Crime and Punishment so amended, that when the Jews and Samaritans shall a.-Hrnble on mount (Jerizim at the feast of the patsover on the day of penticost, it' they should chance to m ploy Pimps and Pettifoggers to procure spirituous hqucrs of Pagan Camp-Squatters, they mav not. have the privilege of prosecution under the present provision of the above nicnlar:o'l spction. Furthermore; I have been ird .r r.e of a petition being in circulation it. Mparts of the ccur.fy, which is irtf?.V! 'vbeprc-
