MESSAGE OF THE GOVERN ENT TO THE FIFTH LEGISLATURE OF THE PROVINCE. . . . _ Gentrenten 2 . - CTreat events have filled the period of your recess. On meeting together, in conformity to our law and custom, you find the reality of all that you expected with anxiety the Jut year. The Liberating Areiy of Pent has dissolved all the materials of the Spanish power which bad been collected in the heart of the An. dos and has dissipated its very illusions. The independence of toe American continent is now self.evident. The set by which (Treat Britain has lately acknowledged it. is another memorable watt. because the triumph of the principles which establish the le giutoscy or our rights against the po m pous alliance of the old Er. rowan Aristocracy is important. loony, tlw Provinces of River la Plata have appeared united in a National Body. The Congress General, well acquainted with the situation of each one of them, bas opened a worthy march, sanctioning the fundamental law, which shall be hereafter presented to you. In it you will see, Gen. Icemen, shine the same spirit with which you dictated the his of the 13th November. 1E24. Experience is showing that It is the most proper to guarantee an union which ought nut to be antici pawl. but confinnal by the laws. •• The Government has provided, from the treasury of the pro. viace, for expenses of the national defence and organization, in the Tema which shall be presented to you. It hopes that this erd merit your approbation, because it is conformable to your decided sentiments: but it would have wished to avoid the necessity of accepting the provisional trust of the National Executive Power, so as not to expose itself to the danger of nourishing prejudices which time and progressive civilization only tan cure. The National Congress will doubtless hasten to remove this pretext of c3ealintsa, and this province will then limit itself only to gise salutary examples of generous devotion to the national came, mid of constant attention to the improvement of its insti. unions. These already bring men and capital from all parts. The growing prosperity of our coninterce, the activity of ow industry, and the general comfort of the labouring part of the population will miry day cause the penciples of the Government which rule as to be more loved t 't being to be hoped that they will introduce even in the classes the least favoured of the people, that good sense, or, if you pleme. instinct of liberty sad order, which disconcerts and disappoints the machinations of the ambitions. The ignorance of the people has always been the great fund of theft resources. In order to combat lt, you decreed the establishment of a considerable bomber of primary schools in the city and country. This has been completed ; but the state and progress of those that were intrusttd to the care of the Society of Beiteticence has crowned ail hopes, and Ira: serve as a model and atimilus. " The Colleges have this year received some improvements. Pains have been taken carefully to repress the spirit of itienbor clisation. which examples and neglect, in a long puled of revolu tion and disorder, always _propagate. Youth. unaccustomed to sentiments of respect, would form men incapable of being free, who mid neither govern nor be governed except by terror and violence. The University was wanting a constitupon, which, by giving it an existence worthy of its object, should offer a guarantee that the sacrifices made for the establishment and preservation of classical instruction were fruitful. This work is about being cow. pleted." During the Session of the 9th instant the Executive addressed Lys following Note to Congress as a matter of great urgency : " Buenos Ayres, 9th May. 1025. " A war hat commenced in the eastern part of the provinces cf Rio de la Plats; this event, together with the nature of the con flict, makes tt r.ecessary that the Executive should be prepared for the consequences it may produce, and ebi;ll threaten as well the tranquillity of the State as the security of its frontiers. For this reason we think it of the greatest importance to make an addition to the military force of Uruguay of a sufficient number of troops. To accomplish this object the present situation of the country de. mends, In this instance, the co-Nrerotion of Con/revs, in order that the several provinces of the Union may be induced to send the uoops that can be spared from the service of the fhterior, placing then: at the disposition of the Executive. " Th. Executive expects that the resolutions of Congress, on a matter of such importance to the nation, will have the most decided effect; with this view, the present communication Is made, sad in the hope that it will be looked upon as very pressing. " The Executive salutes the representatives of the nation with respect. " JUAN CREGOItIO DE LAS REARS. " 31 ANUEL JOSE GARCIA."

BRAZIL AND BUENOS AYRES. . (From the New York Doug Advertiser of July 30.) BANDA ORIENTAL. The insurrection which hue /..roken out in this province of his Moister of Brun, has assumed an expect not very favourable to the cause of royalty. ' he success which the Patriots Mire greedy met with has exceeded their meet sanguine expecte hors, and they entertain hopes of effecting nothing less than the complete emancipation of the whole of Brazil. From an parts of &Ma Oriental, the sentiment is uniform and decided ; the war is enkindled, and the insurgents are gaining ground from day to day. The sentiments of the people.of the ether Republics of South Amer= are so decidedly in their favour, that this will operate as Powerful stimulant ; and the success which has thus far ttecom- Psn.rd the arms of the Patriots In Colombia and Buenos Ayres, in s muti--and Mexico, in North Americ.s, will undoubtedly hare a Powerful efeet in convincing the people that royal arms are not .nr ncible. Nor are the durpos . Mons manifested by the government of Buenos Aries and Colouibin less favourable to the accomplishment of the ends of the Patriots. It 11 supposed that Bolivar was the secret in. selvor, and is now the secret suppOrter of the insurgents. Into, lie will without doubt turn his own attention that way after Com pleting his work in Peru. The government of Buenos Ayres, im mediately steer the first acts of the insurrectionists. in compliance %nth a message tom the Executive, took the subject into consi deration, and adopted such measures as circumstance demanded axi prudence required." TM, message was sent to the Legislature n theilth of May. In it the Executive say that the character of the ay was such mi threatened the peseta the frontiers, and that It was Mewed important torsinfwee thalines on the Uruguay. On the 11th Voss passed a law authorising the Esecutive to stregthen the ' , Teo( the in precaution of the cream which the war en. kindled in Baada Oriental of La Plata may produce. With this übleet, they recommend the immediate organisation of the national army. It is also recommended to the Executive to stimulate the teal and patriotism of the different ()overawe of the Provinces, t they m ay t h e more readily place at the diposat of the General for t fievernment " all the force which is not ab s olutely necessary he interior security of the said provinces." " And," it is idled " for the present, and while Congress prevides the ne vPary means for the watotetuocc of 1116 force, the Executive will Iregnost in the name of the C.l4,7ttir treat the Legit:a:we of the province of Buenos Ayres, that the latter furnish in anticipation the necesaary means for erecting thin measure, not less urgent than national." The import of such. m easures , an d mean i ng of such, language, cannot well be misunderstood. It ought to excite no, aurprtse, if our neit accounts should' relate soiuething more than preparations fur the defence of the Buenos A yrean frontiers. More than 2.600 men are already found, vsyk the Argentino. of the t:Sith of May, with their arms in then heads; whilst the Bra- titian. scarcely posses the foil that they stand On. The action of the 15th May was fought with courage by both parties, and has been, without doubt, an advantageous essay to the Oriental. Should the insurrection not extend to Brazil itself. Banda Orlin., tall would, if successful, undouhtedly join the Confederation o f t h e ; United Provinces of the L a Fl ats . In case of such an event. the ;States would unquestionably prote..-tead defend their sister province, land any attempt on the part of the Emperor to recover possession. would be resisted as an attack bn the Republic.

Special Agent of the Government of the United States, to his Excellency Get. M. Troup, Governor of Georgia,' after he had suspended all intercourse with. Mr. Andrews:— " PIINCETOS, INDIAN' NATIO*, JULY 4,11124• Su.—l take the advantage of the drat possible moment from incessant and anluous duties, to do myself the honour of receipting to your Excellency your three last letters." •• I acknowledge the receipt of yotu communication of the 2dth, which has given me pain a. a man,' bet which caeses no uneasi ness on my part as an agent or officer of the General Government. It has given me pain as a gentleman, because I think I can per. eslve that you feel compelled tl presume from a sense of public duty), to transfer the pursuit by the authorities of Georgia from the Indian Agent to the Special Agent of the United Sties Government. It causes no uneasiness on my part, as an officer et agent of the Government, because I cannot suppose for a mo. mem, that my Government will censure me for doing an act of %tiered duty to the Indian Agent, at the same time that I performed, in suspending him from ins Inactions, an set of courtesy to your. /elf and Government which you thought necessary to the aster., lainment of unbiassed testimony. Had I entered into feelings of, deminciation against the Ir.dian Agent before his trial, or suspended him without doing him present jostiee, by a frank expression of the reasons ahictt actuated me hi doing so, I sho u ld ind e ed h ave apprehended the disapprobation of my Government (to which I ! alone look it: the discharge of my duties), because that Government is administered by men pre.eminent for temperate and reasonable counsils, and who could rot be Induced by any considerations to violate the tights guaranteed to every citizen of our country, how. ever humble, by its Constitution, and by the immutable principles of justice. " Your Excellency calls on me to avow or disavow the letter to the Indian agent of which you appear to complain. With the ex ception of a few typographical errors, I avpw it as my letter. I send you a Corrected copy. It is such a litter as my sense of jus tice imperiously called on me to address hint in performing a harsh act towards him, "in approved of by my best judgment, such as it is, I s approbate,' by I ream who, for wisdom. stands inferior to ! few, and in honour to none ; and such an one as I confidently trust' will receive the approbation of my government. It is such a letter as tram my letters of the Slat of May, Bth, lath, and 23d June, to yourself, and our ircluent verbal communitations, as well as those verbal and written to your aid.de.camp and friend. Colonel; Inimpkie, you ought, in ray opinion, to have anticipated, and such i an one as I was convinced, • for the honout of human nature' (to use Your own eloquent expression), you expected. Your Excellency informs me, ' that if the letter is authentic,' I am to consider all Intercourse between your governinedfand my. self as 'suspended: Be it so. I knot, of no intercourse between your governn:ent and myself which is at all necessary, which is net on your part perfectly voluntary and agreeable. Being an officer of the general government, I can go on to discharge my duties fearlessly, according to the dictates of my eonscience, ant to the best of my judgment ; and, it' I am to be added to the list of the proscribed, for interposing the shield of my government, to pre. vent the destruction of a man doomed to be condemned without a he ring or tri.d, I stab that suspension not only continued, but made absolute and permanent. " As your Excellency has thought it your duty to add ress me your letter of the 21Ith June, I have felt it my right to reply to it ; and to inform you. that I can now see, so ta r as the examinations have progressed, and they have been both numerous and important, no cause for the accusattuos against the agent, unless in his in. flexible integrity and firmness in stemming :I torrent of corruption. disgraceful, in me opinion, to the national character. A sense of duty compels me to say, that in using this expression. I have not made ally aailsion to your Excellency ; for, I sincerely believe, that the same persons who have caused this outcry against the Indian agent, have abused that confidence which your Excellency was compelltil to repose in consequence of your official station. •• With high respect and consideration, I remain your Excel. lency's most obedient servant, '" T. P. A NDR EIS'S, Special Agent. " To his Excellency George M. Troup, Governor of Georgia, 31illetigeville." COMMERCIAL REGULATIONS AT RIO DE J.INK IRO. (From the Philadelphia National Garetlei When vessels arrive a military guard is put on board, the different Government boats visit, and the cutout-house boat calls alongside, to know whether the vessel is bound to Rio, or only put in for supplies; if bound for Rio, a strict search is made in the cabin and forecastle, and all parcels found are carried to the custom-house. whence they can be taken after paying the duty ; the hold is then sealed up and the captain allowed to go on shore to cuter, having previously sworn to his manifest or cargo book, and signed a declaration, in Portuguese, of his destination. If this manifest clears the ship for Rio, she must be en tered in full, and pay duty on all her cargo; if for any other port, a time is allowed her to get suprlies, and her hatches are not sealed. If she has a cargo to land she is sealed, and enters in Franquis, which allows the pri vilege of landing and selling part of her cargo, only paying duty on the part landed. If by any mirtake in the interpreter the captain declares in the declaration i I Por tuguese that he is bound for Rio, although his m n:fer tray show his vessel bound for a market, there it difficulty in getting entered in Franguia. Vessels are allowtsl but one discharge a day, and often are prevented from discharging for want of room at the Custom-house, or for want of guards to attend to the discharge. After a lighter is loadAl, the hatches are immediately scaled, unless permis sion is previously given for the officers to remain to allow the cargo on board to be stowed, and the vessel's hold to be put in ordor ; for which, courtesy generally exacts a fee to the oleo", which, if not given, much trouble and incon vet fence may arise, as they ate arbitrary in their office, ' and ea redress can be bad by complaining—the word of the lowest guard having snore faith given to it than that of the most respectable shipmasters. Three officers arc rent on board to attend to every discharge, and if one of them fails to appear, no discharge is allowed. Vessels can na cuilmence to discharge before day-break, and the cap tain is bound to send his boat in time to take off the officers from the shore, or furnish another for that purpose. The expense of the guards at each discharge is about 4 dollars 80 cents ; that is the customary fee to secure this civility, a practice of long standing, though pretended to be dz flounced by the Judge or head of the custom-}rouse, and which merchants cannot avoid paying without exposing themselves and their business to difficulty and inconve nience. All lighters with merchandise must be at the cus tom-house by seven or eight o'clock in the morning, and as vtssels lay off in the bay, only small discharges can be made at a time. Vessels with dry goods onboard are often delayed front km to fourteen days between each discharge, without an opportunity of discharging, waiting for their turn. flowerer proper or reasonable theseiregulations may ap pear, their application is extremely inconvenient, and de monstrates their absurdity, and the narrow mindedness or she persons with whom they originated. The pretext of ' them is to prevent loss of revenue to the Government by smuggling, when it is wel! known that generally speaking little has been done in that .vay at Rio. The grand outlet' is the custom-house door, but it is convenient for the cdfi an to put their heads of departments on a wrong scent, who seem very willing to follow it, as it must be supposed more agreeable to their interests—as they could not remain ignorant of those practices which arc known to all the world besides, if they did not choose it. They beat the bush for the Emperor, bnt let their friends get all the game. Goods, although manifested, if found in the forecastle, or , anywhere out of the hold, or not under seal, are liable, by late regulations, to seizure. No vessels should therefore clear for the Brazils, or take consular certificates, but clear for "La Plate," " Pacific," or elsewhere.

Allen, Esq. atLA:nericaa Officer in the Greek service, ; dated Va. tics (in the Gulf of Caldqutkia), June 43, 1443, from on I board the Miltiatla, Captain S abin e . : 1 I have again ao opportunity of giving you some Intl e•intelli. genet. In my last, I believe, I informed you thst. our tIV4 Reeu j had effected a union, and that the T urkislrand tlgyptian fleets were in the port of Suds, in Candid. Same dam'• since, being off that port, we discovered forty of the enemy's ships Mt the mouth of the harbour. About one &clack in the afternoon Lite ...s.dimrsl marls: the signal for all the brulotes to approach, and endeavour to set Mel to the enemy's frigates and corvettes ; our ships of war were ordered td approach and cover the frigates with our guns. We obeyed the signal, and made all sail. and, after a fight of one b oor slats half, succeeded in burning one frigate of thirty-four guns, an driving the enemy's ships into port, without receiving the least damage, or !losing a single man. It was a gbirious sight for us to the crew of the frigate taking their lofiy Eight ; the explosion was terribly awful. The frigate was a % enetiambuilt ship ; there were 400 ; men on board. We picked un fifteen ; thirteeu were Greeks who had been forced to fight against their countrymen ; the other two were Turks. It was our intention to have made en attempt t.) en ter the port at night with out bruliVes,(but atsthis time of die year the winds are so variable that it would have been impossible to suc ceed. Since the commenremen tof this campaign, we have destroyed between 30 and tIO sad of slips, which is no small business. We only want the frigates, which we know to be coming, tp insure our liberty and independence. Had we only four frigates, we could then with impunity bid defiance to the whole Turkish eMpire, and do what no other nation but the English have done namely. Neu the Dsedanellee. When I look upon our little handful of mer. chant vessels, and see them dauntlessly approach ar.d combat three times their number of frigates, it makes tie long for greater meat s. and deploriour want of resources. None, my dear L but he who lights in company wi h Greeks, and shares their difficulties and privations,'can or ought to judge of their character and bravery. If you hear any one, who his been is Greece, say that the Greeks are not brave, tell him, troni m e , i t i s f a l se: an d t h at h e i s no friend to Liberty or Greece, whose shores motives of interest can alone base induced him to visit. " I have no* served as a volunteer four months, and I have not received a Ore for my services ; on the contrary, as long as I hetet! a pars, Greece shell be welcome to it. The bravery of 'the sailers, and the Intrepid enthusiasm of the brulotiers. in par. tinder, has inspired me with the htmost esteem and love for them. You shall hear from tna again shortly. In the meantime, believe me, &c." AUSTRIAN NEUTRALITY. Extract of a letter, dated Zante, July 20 :—" They are completely ignorant here of what is passing in the interior of the Peloponnesus. Missolonghi, in spite of the appear ance of the Caplan Pacha in the vicinity of Patras, tie fends itself successfully ; but that of which no doubt can be entertained, is the open hostility which is carried on by Austria against Christians fighting under the banner of the cross. The armed marine of his Austrian Majesty convoys vessels loaded with military supplies of every de scription for the equipment of the Turkish armies. Her naval station conroys the transports chartered for the pur-, pose of pouring . Egyptian troops into the Peloponnesus. In fine, the Turks are under the protection of the Austrians, who publicly declare that the whole Greek population of the Peloponnesus ought to be exterminated, and replaced by the barbarians of Ibrahim Pacha, and that those whom the sword shall spare when it has become smr •feited with massacre should be transported and sold in Africa."—Brussels Paper. The animosity between the (Reeks and the Austrians manifests itself more and more. According to the latest' news from Trieste, au unfortunate affair occurred between the Austrian corvette La Caroline and a small Greek vessel of war, its the port of Valona. La Caroline, accord ing to the Austrian account, discharged a gun, loaded with blank cartridge, for the purpose of compelling the Greek vessel to lower her flag. The latter, however, in place of lying to, answered the summons by a discharge of grape and ball, which killed two and wounded four of the crew of La Caroline. The Captain of the latter, in conse quence, brought his full broadside to bear upon the Greek vessel, and sunk her. Only forty of her crew were saved. Forty more perished, one of whom is said to have been a senator. This event must naturally exasperate both nations ; and if with this we connect the building of a frigate of sixty ians, now going on in the arsenal of Venice, for the Paella of Egypt, the materials of which are furnished from the imperial magazines, it must appear quite evident that Austria is ready to throw off the mask, and to co-operate in the massacre of the unfortunate Greeks by the sabres of the ferocious Mussulmans.--.Pari t Paper.

By two o'clock the brats had dropped down to the Mtge, and in a short time the Commodore also appeared with the sliver cup, in the Stern of a six.oared galley. At half-past two o'clock the signal gun WY% fired, and the sails of the respective boats were hoisted. There teas but a very dining breath of wind, and they made but little way. The Forutude took the lead, fol lowed by the Venus end Spitfire; the Lady Louisa then got second, was again overhauled by the Fortitude, and the distance from Bleckfriarybridge to Westminster was now contended with alternate advantage by the Fortitude and Venus. At Lambeth the Venus !eite-head The Wind had now completely dropped, and every mancruvre was used by the two headmoet beats to get a-head.

The title had now f a ll en at l eant a f oot, an d the vessels were below Chelsea-bridge. The Commodore mitred round the little " fleet," and observed that it would be better to make a drawn wager of it. The Venus dropped her anehor, but the Fortitude still kept on, and moored about a hundred yards for ward ; but it was evident that there was no chance of the distance being performed. A quarter of an hour more was allowed, and at length the gun fired as a signal that the contest was undecided. A long discussion took place as to the thy on which the contest should be resumed; but that point was Icft undecided, and the boats dropped down, accompanied by the bands of music, and saluted on their return home by the guns from the bridge. the Red House, and ofl Cumberland-ganlens, by the Ileception pleasure boat. who tired a salute as the vessels passed. 11•118 HUNTINCI.—The following definition of hare bunting is given by . a writer of the y ear 1616: " Is it not a worthie peece of eeruice or fine or size mem in the countrey (whose dwelling% are Mare or fine miles asunder, to make a mail match) to meete together on such or such a morn. l ing to hunt or course a hare, where, it ghee be hunted with hounds ' glee will leads them such a dance, that, perhaps, a h orse or t wo are kil'd, or a man or two spoird, or ban with leaping hedges or ditches, at the I=st after bore or flue titles preparation, and some ten pounds charge among men, horses, and dogs, besides an infinite deale of topic and trouble, and an innumerable number of oa:hes and curses: after this great deale of don, the main par. chase can be no more than a poore silly hare, which is but a dry meats, and will take more butter in the basting, then bet carkarse is worth."

We copy from the Neu) Oolfeenr Ga-telte the following Idescription of the wonderfully large bones lately found in that part of America " Oar enterprising fellow-citizen, Mr. Samuel W. Scho field, has disinterred, from the low prairie grounds between Plaquemine and the Lakes, a number of remains of the most gigantic site. They evidently belong to some class of animals now no longer in existence; whether ante-diluvian or rot we ire unable to say. The great elephas mastodon, or American mammoth, described by Dr. Mitchell, is far inferior in size to these bones we have seen. From the circumstance of ambergris being collected in some quantity from the interior surface of the maxilliary hone, we arc led to the conclusion that they are of marine origin. but cr, what description we are unable to 'conjecture. Upon ex. amining these remains, we are easily led to give credit to, the extraordinary relations given by Father Kircher, of the Kraken, and Norway sea snake. This non-descript, when alive, must have equalltd either of them in bulk. " It is much to be regretted, that the high etnge of the water prevented Mr. Schofield from obtaining any more of these interesting remains ; but there is considerable reason to hope that the Whole skeleton may be completely disin terred. We earnestly hope as much for the reputation of our city, that these remains should not be suffered to leave this place to enrich any other collection—as well as that the munificence of our fellow-citizens will contribute such pecuniary aid as will enable Mr. S. to succeed in adding more to his invaluable collection. There is every reason to believe that more could be obtained, with very little ex ertion. The situation of the place where these bones were found, is about ed miles south-cast of Fort St. Philip, in the alluvial ground formed by the Mississippi river and the lakes, and but a short distance from the sea. They appear to have been imbedded in a manly kind of sand, which appears to have the same preservative qualities as peat, which generally covers the bones of the great Ameri can mastodon. " We will attempt a faint description of those which have I already been brought up to this city, and are now on board the steam-boat Expedition. They consist first of an en (Anions fragment of a cranium. It is about twenty-two feet in length, and in its broadest part four feet high, and perhaps, nine inches thick. It is said to we i g h a b out twelve hundred pounds. On the interior surface the ritreous table appears to be separated frorn the cancelli for some way down ; this table is perfectly firm, and in a per fect state of preservation ; the digital depressions formed by the convolutions of the cerebellum are very perfect. The foramina for the passage of the sensorig helves are very di,cernible. A very large portion of the inner table of the inside of the cranium is joined by a very singular squamous suture. The inner surface appears in many places per manently discoloured, by the bed of earth from whence it was taken. In the interior patt of the cranium the diplee presents a very singular appearance—the cavities of which are very large, in some cases presenting holes of near an inch in diameter, and generally very re gular. Upon what we judge to be the temporal portion a most singular process or elongation presents itself ; it is eight feet in length and of a triangular form, and about six inches through, tapering gradually to the point. This singular appearance sets all our conjectures at defiance • it ' is of a spongy construction, with a rough and irregular surface. There appears to be no mat for the insertion of muscles, or foramina for the passage of the nerves, or blood vessels. This bone must have been covered for its whole length with a membrane : the cancelli are remark ably regular. There is a singular consolidation of the nasal and maxilliary bolus. They are not not united by any of the description of sutures found in quadrupeds, but form one entire mass, of uniform consistence all through. A large groove, or canal, presents itself in the superior portion of this bone, upon the sides of which con siderable quantities of ambergris may be collected : which appears to have suffered little or no decoinposition or change by age. It burns with a beautiful bright flame, and emits an odoriferous smell while burning ; it is of a greasy consistence, similar to adipocere. " The foramen for the transmiss:on of the facial nerve is of an immense size. " In the inferior portion of this stupendous bone there appears to he aft 'articulating depression, in which the superior angle of the maxilliury inferioris might have arti culated. " The other bones are—one of a cylindrical shape, with a round head similar to the hombres in quadrapeds. It is about two fret in length, and about ten inches in diameter, with two processes near the head, in some respect similar to the trocanters of the femoire. The cartilaginous ex tremities appear to have been entirely detached. Upon one end a surface for the articulation of two bones appears, one of which is in the collection. This bone is over one, foot in length, and of a flattened cylindrical shape ; the cartilaginous eXtremities are also gone. It is a firmer COD. sistence than any of the other bones, with a singular irra dition of ossific appearance on the outbide surface. These two bones arc probably the leg of the animal. " There are also !Lumbar, dorsal, and cervical vcrtebrw. The cylindrical portion of those of the first class are four teen inches in diameter, with transverse processes, in every respect like those of quadrupeds. One of them bas the introvertebrael substance completely detached. It is about twelve inches in diameter, and perhaps two inches thick in the centre, tapering gradually to the extremities, this spe cimen. is in a perfect state of preservation. In the articu lation of these bones there is considerable analogy to the human vertebra•. " Our time, at this moment, forbids our entering into al more particular description of these interesting remains of probably another world. We are much at a loss also in the anatomical description, as we can form no analogy from comparative anatomy to enable us to decide to what genus this animal helongeth. The alluvial situation where they were found justifies the opinion that they must have been deposited there by the orean, but at what period we are lost in conjecturing. To judge from the appearance of this portion of the cranium which we have seen, if this monster was of the Balaler species, his length could not be less than 230 feet. It is stated, that from this place, whence these remains were disinterred, a large carnivorous tooth was found, and carried away. It is also related that, in the year 1799, many remains of ante-diluvian creation were taken up near the same place, and shipped to Europe. Mr. tlchofield feels the most per fect conviction that he could at a slight expense. collect many more. Every friend of science must feel highly interested in his exertions. IVe heartily wish him suc cess; and have ❑o doubt that the liberality and muni ficence of the citizens of New Orleans will assist him in his praiseworthy exertions." A fire broke out onMontlayiigiiiat the cotton mills of Fraser, Wigton, and Co. at Mere, on the bank of the Paddington Canal, which destroyed all the machinery, but the dwelling-house contiguous was saved by a party-wall. It was occasioned by the carckssucsa of one of the trimmers in setting fire to some yarn.
