Last night we received file Ftoile of Sunday's date. The ocly uticle of political intelligence it contains is extracted from the Awls-jun Observer relative to the Greek war. 'Etrough that channel the affairs of the Patriots do not, it nay be anticipated, wear the most promising appearance. I .:it•IIIM Noss is represented to have established his head-quarters firmly at Ttipolizsa in spite of the Greek Chiefs, who harass, but cannot dislodge him. We are • afraid diet it is too true that the Egyptian Commander is . for the present strong enough to maintain his position against all the assaults of the Patriots ; but we doubt that he will be able to continue there long and withstand them. The Austrian Observer admits that the blockade of Nils- . soionghi by sea is raised. The garrison, we are told "by the confession of even their enemies, had valiantly de fended themselves." Undoubtedly, a more gallant de ' ferce is not in the annals of any war, ancient or modern. It is stated that the fort of Anatolico surrendered on the scst of July to the Turks. We hope this news may turn out to be incorrect. From the Etoik dated Sunday" VIZMII, Sipa% 8. The Austrian Obstrver contains the following news : Co AAAAA TINOPLI, Auo. 25. Ibrahim Paths hes fixed his head-quarters at Tripoli:la, the mash body of his army is concentrated near thal town, which is the basis of his operations. _ Setting out from this point, the Egyptian Commander has under- tales several expeditions in all directions. •Serest of the enemy's corps, under Colocotroni, Ypsilante, and other Chief's, which at tztapted to disturb his cantonments, or which threatened his com munications, have been constantly repulsed with more or less coo suleeatle loss. The moat serious actions since the pretended battle of Trip°lieu (SM July) were fought on the 20th and 21st July, to the south east of Tripolizta, on the road from that town to :Matra°. The report of the death of Ypsilante, which was spread before the departure of the last courier, is not at all confirmed. It seems to base been caused by the death of two other Greek Chiefs, George Gilts and Polichroni, who were killed in these engagements. Ac cording to the assurance of a witness. Demetrius and one of the eau of Colocotrani (probably the one known by the name of Gen neost have arrived at Napoli di Romania, eaK, fugitives, and not as conquerors. Several thousand fugitives from the interior of the Gauntry are encamped in barrack • before the gates of that town. lit - relatedness, want of provisions, and a fatal epidemic, daily ca.ry off numbers of these unhappy people. All the fugitives front the :dorm, who arrive in Cerigo, one of the lonian islands, are obliged to go to Calasmo, a small island belonging to the lonian territory, which is hardly capable ofoontaining so great a number. Afresseveral fruitless attempts the Capitan Pasha had succeeded on the 21st July, in penetrating with small boats into the Lagoons, before Missolonghi. On the same day the fort of Anstolico, an &and to the north of Missolonghi, surrendered to the Turks. The garrison of 300 men are prisoners of war; the inhabitants, to the number of 1500, received entire liberty to mire without obstacle into the interior of the country. The Streakier Redschid Pacha had already succeeded in cuttir.g off the water of filissolonglii, and in erecting several batteries at a small distance from the main works *4 the place ; the ramparts have already been Much injured by the Bred the besiegers, a part of the ditches was already filled up, ' and several attacks had already been attempted against the fortress, wean, iii the beginning of August, tberdeek feet of nearly sixty sail, including fire-ships, appeared at the entrance of the Gulf of l'atr at, and revived the courage of the bolted, who, by the con- , fasion of even their enemies, had valiantly defended them- selves against all their attacks, and the more. io u the Capitan )'arris, according to news f. tat Zante of the lash of August, wine to have quitted the vicinity of Missolonghi en the appear. sore of the Greek felt, so that the blo:katle of the place on the sea aide is raised.

The ab .riginal race is fast disappearing from the country of their forefathers. The tide of white population rolls forward, and threatens to overwhelm them, unless they retreat to wards the Pacific. In another column we have given an interesting and affecting article, relating an ineffectual en deavour on the part of the Quapaw Indians to delay their removal from the " land where the bones of their an cestors repoeed." On the 40th of August the Right lion. C• 11 _• ..stow•w was presented to the President of the UNITID STATES, by' r.

The recognition of the independence of Hayti has given rise to much discussion in the United States as to the course the Federal Government should folio's, towards the revolted slaves. This is of course to the slave holding states of North America a very serious and delicate ques tion. In the demi-official organ of the Cabinet of Washington, The Natiunal Intelligenctr of the 6th August, we find the following observations upon this important subject:— ect " Some of our dewspapers ate In haste to anticipate for our go. vernment much embarrassment from questions which are expected to arise out of the political attitude that the island of Hayti will assume in consequence of the acknowledgment of its independence by the French Government. This embarrassment, it is supposed, will proceed from the delicacy which this government will feel In the recognition of an independent state, composed of the African race, became free by successful revolt, and situated almost conti guous to the Southern parts of our Union, whets the same race forms so large a portion of the population, and is un avoidably held in slavery. We see, however, no perplexity in the use; for though the example of Hayti, if aided' by mischievous intrigue, co-operating with the declamations , of our northern sanguinary philanthropists, might produce temporary mischief in the south ; still theindependence of Hayti can produce no embarrassment, as it does not necessarily lead to the reception of Black Ministers Plenipotentiary, or any Ministers at all, from that island. Hayti has long been treated by this country as an independent state de facto, so far as regards com mercial Intercourse; and this intercourse can still be superintended In both countries by commercial agents residing in each. Our own citizens are in many cues the Consuls of Foreign Powers, and will probably in most instances act in that capacity for Ilayti also. If there be any evil of the nature apprehended, incident to the independence of Hayti, it Is an evil which it will be very easy, it appears to us, for our Government to remedy or avert. We speak, however, our own impressions alone, as we know nothing of the opinions or sentiments of others on the subject. There is, in our opinion, more real mischief to be dreaded in the South, front the efforts of some of our own misguided fanatics, who are aided by certain newspapers of the North, than from the ratification of the I independence of Hayti. The intelligence from South America in these papers is of some interest as far as regards the quarrel between Brazil and Buenos Ayres. It appears that the Peruvian Congress, before it was dissolved, passed a law, placing the United Liberating Army at the discretionary orders of General Bata VA a, who is authorised to direct their march " to any point from whence l'eru may be menaced with invasion." This enactment was evidently made with a view to Brazil, and we find that on the II th of April, the General had ►et out from Lima on a journey to the pro vinces of Upper Peru, in the vicinity of the expected seat of war. A New York paper of the Y9th of August states, upon the authority of the Captain of tl e Heroine, which touched at Montevideo and Pernambuco on her passage home, that three vessels of war " sailed from Montevideo on theStli of July, for Buenos Ayres, to ascertain if that Government intended to assist the Revolutionists, and in the event of receiving an answer in the affirmative, it was to be considered by the Emperor of Brazil tantamount to a declaration of war, and measures adopted accordingly. Great preparations were making at Montevideo, in antici pation that such would be the result on the return of the vessels of war. All the vessels of war, and about twenty five gun-boats at Montevideo, were preparing for actual service. There were from five to eight thousand troops in the city. The Revolutionists without permit nothing to pass into the city, without first receiving a heavy duty upon it." SPAIN has at length reached that crisis of desperation at which we long since foretold it would ultimately arrive. The only cause for wonder would have been, bad it turned out otherwise. The military occupation of this ill-fated ' kingdom byFrance had no other object, from the beginning, but to, uphold the sway of beneficed bigots and monks, and to enable his CATHOLIC Majesty more effectually to trample upon the Constitutionalists, to whom he owed the preservation of his throne. lie sOcceeded in restoring, for IR season, the empire of this heartless and infatuated priest hood, and the chance seems to be, that his head may yet sweep a scaffold's thitt, as the reward of his perfidy. The pretext under which France justified the sending of cny army intd*Spain was, that the state of things in that kingdom was "of a nature to disturb the Governments of Europe." " Yon will give"--aaid the French Government, in the despatch to the Con NT Dx LA GAnne, its then Minister at Madrid—" You will give to the Cabinet at Madrid the assurance that the succours of every kind which France can dispose of in favour of Spain will be offered to her for the purpose of insuring her happiness and increasing her prosperity." How does this wretched and hypocritical cant pall upon the ear when we look to the frightful condition to which the Spanish nation is reduced, and trace the whole of it to the hostile introduction of this very army, which she was impudently told, in the face of all Eu rope, was to succour her distress, and to secure her felicity ! FERDINAND has every thing to fear, at this moment, hod) for his own and for his kingdom's fate. lie has been the ruthless spoiler of its fortunes, and he will pay dearly for it. Ile Las raised a spirit which he cannot quell. The Jesuits will either subdue him to their purpose, or sacri fice Lim to it.' They beset every fogtstcp of his path, and he has not long to grapple with his destiny. Even thel French troops themselves dread these famished blood hounds of the Inquisitlbn, from whose vengeance they are only safe while they have muskets on their shoulders. " One hundred thonsand Frenchmen," said the imbecile speech of Louts XVIII, " commanded by a Prince of my family—by him, whom my heart delights to call my son— are ready to march, invoking the GOD OF Sr. Louts, for the sake of preserving the throne of Spain to a descendant of II NRY I V--of saving that fine kingdom from its ruin, and, of reconciling it with Europe." And to crown all this va pouring—to give the finishing touch to this impious mockery, it was added, " Let FERDINAND VII be free to glee his , people institutions . which they cannot hold, bid from him, and which, by securing- their tranquillity, would 1 dissipate the just iop i igtade of France.. Hostilities shall ease from :that moment. 1 make, Gentlemen, before you, a solemn engagement on this; point." Is Cumuks X. in a condition to fulfil this compact? Is it even competent to him to confirm the sceptre in the hands of this DiSCENDANT ,OP Hair IV ? There is surely enough before him to show that superstition is not emblazoned by heraldry, and that despotism cannot be ennobled by descent. Certain we are, that both his Moor CHRISTIAN Majesty and his Catholic relative have, by this time, found out that they have missed their road, and that they have wandered into a path of danger, out of which they know not how with safety to trace back their steps. In our Paper of yesterday, we laid before our readers an interesting report of a Meeting recently convened in Jamaica to further the objects of its new Episcopal Establishment. With the importance of this measure itself, we are most forcibly impressed. Independently of the great moral benefit to be expected to accrue from it, to those who are the immediate objects of its care—the Negroes, it will erect, as it were, a tribunal of such weight and impartiality, in a society where every thing has hitherto been conveyed to us through the disturted medium of prejudice or private interest, that we may repose in it our fullest confidence, and look forward to a true knowledge of a subject—that of slavery, as at present modified in our own colonies—which is perhaps less accurately understood, and certainly more misrepresented than any other question of equal interest. 1 CITY, MONDAY EVEIFIXO. The Money Markets to-day presented equally as unin teresting an appearance as they did on Saturday. What business was transacting in Consols was at 881. Spanish Bonds improved ,a little from Saturday's last price. The Old were at 5:01 1. For the New, no quota tion was reported. Greek Scrip was 170 161. Colombian Bonds were 77; Mexican Scrip si discount; Brazilian ditto 8 7 discount; and the Guatemala Ql i discount. The prices of Shares were purely nominal. The Lard Bishop of •Barbadoes has arrived in England. His Lordship came a passenger in the Fortitude. Letters are in town from Tobago of the 9th August, and from Demerara to the Ist. By the latter it appears that two overseers have been poisoned; and thelife of Mr. Simpson also attempted by poison. It will be recollected that Mr. Simpson was particularly active in suppressing the insurgents. A Lisbon packet arrived yesterday, bringing letters to the 10th September, which, however, contain no poli tical news. We have received a file of Lisbon Gazettes to the 11th ' inst. The only part of their contents worthy of notice is an order of the King for the adoption of extraordinary means for the purpose of discovering the authors of some sacrilegious offences. We regret to see that among these means secret evidence is to be admitted, and the informers are to be rewarded " in proportion to the importance of, their services." This is a stride towards the re-establish ment of the Inquisition. Gibraltar Papers to the 26th ult. state, that the Govern ment of Spain continues to relax respecting the prohibitory duties on trade. In addition to the cotton goods, lately admitted, GOO tons, a considerable reduction is about to take place on the fish from Newfoundland imported into Spain. We have received Demerara Papers to the 2d August. The alarm as to the French taking possession of Cuba seems to have been universal in our lVest Indian posses sions, arising entirely from the rapid movements of the English navy with the intelligence to England, Jamaica, and the other islands. The planters seem to have caught up the alarm from the British officers. It appears by advices•frotn Copenhagen, received by way of Hamburgh, that the quantity of snow in Greenland had been uncommonly small. It is remarkable that, although the number of whales'in the Greenland seas was consider able, but very few had been taken this season. Bombay Papers to the 2.lth of March were received Yes terday, but they do not bring any later intelligence from the different points of attack on the Burmese empire, than that contained in the last Calcutta journals. General San Martin is still at Brussels. lie lives very retired; and as soon as he,is recognised in any public place, he ceases to frequent it. Hefeems much to fear indiscreet questions; but notwithstandtng the mystery in which he envelopes himself, I have learned to-day, for certain, that he has just offered his services to the provinces of La Plata. Letters from La Guayra have been received to the 28th of July. They contain no intelligence of impottance. The newspapers contain a Decree of Congress, authorising the establishment of a bank in Caraccas, to be called the Bank of Venezuela. Indigo and coffee were falling in price. The President of the Mexican Republic has directed the various Commissary-Generals to collect and transmit to the Government, in packets, through the mail, specimens of every description of mineral. Loan Cocna•NE.—By the Florian, which arrived at New York on Friday from Rio de Janeiro, we learn that much consternation was produced at that place, when it was known that Lord Cochrane had departed from Brazil in the Piranga frigate, it being understood that he went off without the leave of the Emperor, taking with him all the money that he had levied on the people of Pernambuco, Maranham, Stc., and other property to a large amount. Admiral Jowett, who was suspected of being accessary to this project, had since been arrested. 4 --New York Paper, Avg. 22. ll'e hear that very soon after Lord aml Lady Cochrane left Valleytield, on Monday last, a Brazilian officer, hear ing important despatches for his Lordship, arrived there, and immediately followed him to Stirling, to which he had gone on his way to Hamilton.—Edinburgil Paper. A letter from Bilboa of the 7thfSeptember contains the following paragraph :—" In the political circles here much is stirring. 'fhe French papers speak of the entry of the French. The 9th regiment of foot, from Pampeluna, I tun informed by Baron Dumar here, who is a friend of the Colonel's, has marched to Madrid; and every day in Bayonne, they expect the entry of 3000 more French troop!. Bessicres was taken in Arragon one evening, some few days since, at eight o'clock, and shot at t en w ith seven ' more officers. Report says the former was shot by Don Carlos de Espana. The Ring is at present at Segovia. In the town where be is every thing is tranquil, but many posts arrive daily. The Gazette of Madrid states, there is now no longer doubt as to the truth of the entry of the French ; as they have contracted with merchants here for the supply of the French army. The policy (policy) in all the towns are particularly strict at present." Extract of a letter, dated Bayonne, September 10 : " The five Generals are still resident • here ; the troops ' forming the garrison, and those in Camp, consisting of four regiments complete (say about four thousand men), are drilled or exercised cisily. In case of necessity they could quit the field of exercise, and proceed at once on a cam paign. No more troops have arrived, though the report is continued that many may be expected in this quarter ere long. The Minister of War will rosi tively be here on the 21st or the 2?„11 of this month, and, it is presumed, before his arrival, considerable reinforcements may he expected. Government has rented an immense tract of land near to the camp of Marac, where the troops are accustomed to sham-fights and every manoeuvre of batt'e. In Spain everything is in conftaim, particularly in the capit a l. The Swiss are much hawked, and being almost continually under arms, about 140, who have served their period of en gagement, and refused to renew it, arrived here yesterday. They are heartily tired of the service. They will leave this to-morrow, each for his home or destination. Couriers from France to Spain, and rice versa, pass frequently, and the telegraph is often m motion, consequently it is presumed that matters of importance are on the tapis." Scaaciry or Ftsit.—ln consequence of the contrary state of the wind the fishmongers have had no fish for sale for the last three slays, nothing having arrived but a small supply of soles, ?finch were received by l i ved carriage. . w ~ : ~~-~ I_er~ww IRRVSTS IN SPAIN. We have received a private letter from Madrid dated September 7. It states that the greatest possible confusion continues to exist in that capital. The following is given as a list of the persons who have been arrested at Madrid in consequence of the late conspiracy : &donee, Director of the Hospitals at Madrid. Molles, Chaplain of Honour; the Secretary of Espalins; and Roses, Secretary of State. confined in a church.

(From the New York Papers to Aug. 281 BRAZIL. The political information is not void of interest. The accounts state that the revolutionists were successful In the tint engagement, which took place early in June; the Brazilians being compelled to retreat into Monte Video. The reinforcements formerly mentioned reached the city subsequent to the affiir, and four sad of armed vessels (brigs), from Rio, arrived to protect the trade. The country about Monte Video was still (on the 2lst June) la a state of revolution. Two vessels of war, and about 1,600 troops from Rio Janeiro, had arrived at Monte Video for the protection of that place. Llavallejs, at the head of the revolutionists, had pos session of the Mount, and some skirmishing had taken place near the walls of Monte Video. A Brazilian man-of.war brig was in the river, and boarded all vessels passing. The Blakely was brought to by her, and saw them board a brig under Buenos Ayrean colours, after which she Steered for Monte Video. Every thing remained quiet at Buenos Ayres ; but it was expected that war between that Government and the Studien would take place 'Moray. A corvette from Rio Janeiro, with despatches for the Buenos Ayrean Government, had arrived at Illon , e Video, and was daily expected at Buenos Ayres. The Congress of Buenos Ayres was in Session, deliberating ou the confederation of the different provinces. PERU. We have received the Gazettes of Lima to the 17th of March. The Congress of Peru was dissolved on the 10th March. The most important of its acts were. a law authorising the Libe rator to assist Colombia with troops, vessels, and every necessary succour. Another law authorised the advance of the United Army, at the discretion of the Liberator, to any point front whence Peru might be threatened with invasion. It appears also by the Lima papers that President Bolivar has issued a Decree, removing the restrictions which have hitherto operated to the prejudice of foreigners : Article 1. The third article of provincial regulations of commerce of the 28th April, 1821, is annulled. 2. Consequently foreigners are authorised to exercise their mer cantile industry, without the necessity of appointing a consignee, a citizen of I'eru. An. 4 says, " Foreigners are to enjoy the protection of the law equally with Peruvians. and to be subject to the same taxes." Letters from Lima of l Ith of April state. that General Bolivar had set out for the provinces of Upper Peru, having left or ganised a Council of Government. COLOMBIA. We have received CartititieZtiapers; the 14th ult. and Bogota to the27th of June. Bolivar had set out for Cusco, in Upper Peru, for the purpose of regulating the Government of that part of the Peruvian Republic. Callao way closely blockaded by the Colom bian fleet; and an American vessel. which had attempted to get in with provisions, had been captured by the besiegers. The Cardin gena Papent contain the official details of the engagement at Chieas, in which General Olaneta was defeated and killed. The Peruvian Representatives of the (hand Congress of the South American Republica arrived at Panama on the 17th of June. The Deputies from the other nations were expected almost immetli-rely. This event," says the Panenia Gazette, " will be hailed as an epoch of power, glory, and happiness to the new world." Ilerom the Buenos Ayres Papers to June 10.1 The constituent Congress General of the Provinces of Rio de la Plata have sanctioned the Military Law relative to the creation of a National Army. It is to consist of one battalion of Artillery, composed of six companies, each one of sixty men, the first of these to be of pioneers. Four battalions of infanuy, each battalion of six companies, of 100 men each; six regiments of cavalry, each one with four squadrons, each squadron of two companies of 100 men each. The Patriotic General of Lid Provinces, Don Domingo French, died in Buenos Ayres the 14th June, very much regretted by the Government end nation. A military funeral was ordered at the public expense. as a tribute of respect to Ma memory. lie had been one of the first to raise the cry of Liberty and ludependence in 101 Q. The line of Uruguay, bordering on the Banda Oriental, was forming rapidly; and the Government of the Province of Entre Rios, where the said 'line was forming, appeared to be heart and soul devoted to the national cause. General Bixaro continued the siege of Alontevideo, and in A sortie which the garrison has made upon the besiegers, they have been repulsed with considerable loss. The Argos of the lath June says—" At last the reinforcement required to his Court by the Viscount de la Laguna (according to the new title conferred on Min by his Imperial Majesty) has ar rived. It has been convoyed from Rio Janeiro by the well-known Vice-Adntiral Rodrigo Lobo, who has the command of the Bra zilian fleet in the waters of Rip de la Plata ; also, the Lieutenant. General Francisco de Paula Magessi has arrived. A port is about to he constructed in the Ensenada de Barra- Fan, by eutting the bank that exists at its entrance, as also other immense workx by contractors with the Government of Buenos Ayres. The ezlebrated Dr. Funes, an efficient Member of the Consti tuent Congress General, and Chairman of the Committee charged with drafting a Constitution for the United Provinces, has been appoint:d Charge d'Affaires to the Government of the Republic of Rio de la Plata by that of Colombia, but it is supposed he will decline that honour, as he continues his functions as Represents tive in the said body. UPPER Pstatt.—By the last mail arrixed.from the city of Salta we have re.eived the following : _ S•LTA, MAY 2. It is very pleasing for us to announce to the public the happy arrival of the General in Chief of the Buenos Ayres division, Dbn Juan Antonio Alvarez de Arenales, in the town of Potosi ; and that he undertook this journey at the request of the General of the United Liberating Army of Peru, Antonio Jose de Sucre. We believe that this ;heeting h.ts for Its object a concert between both Chiefs for the best and most prompt organization of the province of Upper Peril. The measures hitherto taken promise us the best re sults, giving us reason to assure that horrible anarth7 shall fly fmtv the presence of the Liberator.

The following interesting letter from General Bolivar, dated Lima, March 16, addressed to the celebrated Joseph Lancaster, now residing in Caraccas, is extracted from the 6.4n:bias:a : " TO MR. LANCASTER. • " Lima, March Ifi, 1825. "My dear Sir—l have the honour to receive your very flattering letter from Baltimore, the answer of which was directed to the United States of America by a circuitous route, which would con. siderably delay your receipt of it. T have now the greatest pleasure lin learning, by your favour from Camccas, the determination you have formed of residing amongst us, with the laudable objects of disseminating and bringing to perfection the Lancatterian system l of education, which has done, and will continue to do, essential service in promoting the cultivation of the human intellect—a won derful work, whi. h we owe to the singular genius of the man who has had the goodness to devote himself to the instruction of my young fellow citizens! " You seem to think assistance necessary to the realization of your beneficent intentions ; I therefore hasten to eller you twenty thousand dollars to be employed in advancing the education of the children of Caraccas.

For this reason it is no inconvenience to me to promote the advancement of those establishments fee education which are under the ditection oil your fine genius.

A RIAXSAS, Jews itt On Monday, the 20th inst. Governor hard was visited at his house in this place, by Ifeckaton an d S aracen, two of the principal chiefs of the Quapaw nation, for the p ut . pose of holding a talk with him ; the principal obje ct o f which was to endeavour to effect a modification or su s , pension of the late treaty concluded by them, by whi c h they ceded all their lands to the United States. The tilk was commenced by Ifeckaton, in a sp eec h of nearly an hour, of which the following is a brief out line:— Ile commenced with the usual assurance, that his nation had al. ways been friendly to the white people, and wished to remain so, That they intended to have reserved a portion of their lands foe their children, bat had not the means of doing so. That it was painful to them to leave the land where the bone s o y their ancestors reposed, and t h at they would feel grateful to then Great Father for permission to remain a few years longer on Ms land of their fathers. That their nation were frank, and would do no harm ; bet that the nation to which they were going (the Caddoes) might b e outer. wise, and his nation be censured for acts of which they wa s innocent. That he had come to renuest that the execution of the Tres (' might be delayed for a few years, so far as it related to their re., moval. That they wished the Governor to write to their Great Father, at Washington, on the subject, and communicate his answer to them. . That, if he could grant them no indulgence, they would submit to his decision. That he feared his people would suffer in their march thros s p the woods. That ho wished to visit the Caddoes before his nation should be compelled to remove, and that he wished an Agent of the 110. vertament to accompany him, for the purpose of giving hint protection against any :injury which might be offered by irb :Le men. To which the Governor replied, in substance— That he was aware of their friendly disposition toward t h e t hi s . , and that their hands were unstained with blood. They might rely with confulence on the promises made by their Great Father, and assured them of his protection so long as they should merit it. Re. moral from a country where the bones of one's ancestors repose always a painful measure, but, in the present case, it was a rely necessary one, urged as much for their advantage as from a de. sire on the part of our Government to possess their lands. We are a 'numerous and increasing people, and when our country. men shall cross the great river in crowds, the safety of the la. dians might be endangered. The Treaty made last November had been ratified by the Great Council of our nation, and mast be carried into complete effect. Every facility would be 'Worded for their removal, and the comfort of their ',amen and the infirm among them should be attended to. fie told them that he would write to their Great Father, agreeable to their request ; but that he knew his answer would be, that the terms of the treaty must be complied with. Ile promised them protection on their journey to the nation which they are to join ; but assured them that no delay of their removal could be granted. The Governor acceded to tittle request to be permitted to visit the Caddoes previous to the re. moral of their people, and promised that a person should accom• pany them to protect them from harm while going and returning. The Chiefs seemod satisfied with the Governor's reply, and immediately after retired.—American Paper. THE SHAKERS. A North American paper contains the following artic!e relative to that extraordinary sect of religious tnthuliasts styled Shakers, from the bodily contortions they use during divine worship. One of the peculiarities of thee,: strange people is, that they dwell tog e the r i n sett l ements, in which they have all things in common. The Society is under the rule of the elders, who appear, from the sub joined narrative, to exercise their power with ample se verity : " In the absence of all aliment for political parties, we find a religious sect ruffling the tranquil and smooth surface of the times ; and, although we hold it as an aphorism of great authority, that every man shall be allowed to worship Cod in his own way, yet if the prac tices of any sect encroach on our constitutional construc tion of individual rights and privileges, it is not to be denied that such sect then becomes a proper subject fot remark and reprehension. In two of our States the Shakers have shaken the pedestals of public harmony, and have drawn on themselves no inconsiderable degree of public attention. In Kentucky we believe that a young female has been induced to forsake her parents, and be- come a member of this sect. The parents have made inef fectual applications for the return of their daughter ; and a mob appears to have, at last, assailed the Shakers, and performed upon them certain supererogatory exercises of castigation. It is not to be concealed, however, that the young woman has affirmed that, so far from being kept in a state of compulsory seclusion from her parents, her ab dication of her old creed, old habits, and old friends, is en tirely her owu act. Thus rests this matter. In the mean time another division of Shakers, dwellers in Massachusetts, have drawn upon themselves much odium for certain acts of alleged cruelty committed on one of their own body, such as assaulting him, and putting him, under a charge of in sanity, into prison and chains, as well as keeping him with out food and clothing; from which we might, perhaps, ba justified in the inference that their practice is neither according to the principles of our free Constitution, nor of those inculcated in Holy iVrit. The following is a sum mary of some of the proceedings which have taken place in relation to this latter affair, which we copy from the Boston Statesman:— " THE SHAKE RS.—An interestinq examination has recently been had before William Stedman, kaq. a Justice of the Peace within and fur the county of Worcester, tobching the conduct iff certain of the metnbers of the Ilarvard Society of Shaken. to one of their brethren, by the name of s'eth Rabbit. It appears. from the testimony, that Rabbit has been long a member of this class of Christians. and has sustained some of their offices of trust and importance: that, having become somewhat advanced in life, and having suffered by repeated shocks of paralysis, he was unceremoniously deprived of his offices, and reduced to the com mon ranks. This he considered bad treatment, and he sub. mined to the rules and orders of Rs superiors in rank with more irritability and turbulence than calmness and contentment. Hews. accordingly pronounced by the elders and physicians of the society to be insane, and orders were issued to confine hint. lie Ilse been held in confinement two years anti four months, part of the time in chains, without the benefit of a fire in the winter and of air in the summer, and with scanty food and raiment. At length the extraordinary and inhuman treatment he was re. ceiling became promulgated by some who had deserted from the society; and the Selectmen and other inhabitants of Harvard knit• feted for his release, and to bring the Winders to answer to the outraged laws of the land and of humanity. The defendants, three in number, were bound over to the next October Term of the Supreme Judicial Court for that county. We forbear any cow ments at this time. When the highest judicial authority of the commonwealth has taken cognizance of the matter, we shall fee st liberty , to indulge ourselves and our readers with a thorough cspe• sition.
