PROPOSA LS fcr ESTABLISHING a SOCIETY,. for the ASSURANCE of LIVES and SURVIVORSHIPS, for • thellen6t - it of • the Members of the Profession-of the Law, to , be called " The Metropolitan and Provincial Law Assoeiation fOr the Assurance of Lives 'and Survivorships.''.- • • • AT a time when there exist :tions for the Assurance of Lives and Survivorships, it will be expected .that the Projectors'_of-•the METROPOLITAN and PROVINCIAL LAW ASSOCIATION should' shew` the utility of such an Establishment, and the probability of its - success; ,and in theit endeavouring to do so, 'it necessary for them to remark upon the .Institutions already existing ; but -they disavow all unfriendly feeling towards them, being con vincod,-; that though in different degrees, th e y havebeen highly beneficial tnthe•public, and have saved from poverty many re spectable Families. Most-of the present Assurance -Establish ments have originated in trading speculation the faith of capitals,- unnecessarily large, the: assurances h 7 ave been 'effected.' Experience has fully proved , . that the Premiums received have been much more . than adequate tn support the Fund for the paymente of the sums assured; 'and the surplusage or profits in . this class-of Offices have been divided amongst the Proprietori; Others have divided one-third of - the profits among-the Share, holders; - ;and •-the remaining two-thirds amongst the assured. But few of the,Officcs make the assured the parties' soi. - trx • benated., - • • t • • - Life Assurance is. of especial -utility to prafeSSiOnal characters .whose Meows: depend -chiefly. upon their .personal exertions; and 'to 'Mine more 'than those engaged in the profession of the laW. In this profession there are at present, in England and upwatds•oPtenthousand:persons . engaged ; and if only one half this number were to contribute annually the small sum of £lO each, in payment of preMium for a rateable assurance, an annual income of £50,000 would be produced, a sum, ex ceeding that of - many of the' Public 'Assurance Offices; sup porting large and expensive,establisimients. • : Another sonrce of advantage to be added to this Institution, will be that of Assuring the Lives of Persons articled in the Profession, to cover (in case of death) • the heavy expenses in curred by: the stampcluti6s, paid upon their articles Of clerk ship, and premium, and of which persons , there are annually upwards of four hundred.• In a body So• numerouS, and having a common object in view, that of securing to their families a comfortable independ ence; by appropriating a small proportion of their annual in come, it is only a matter of surprise that an Assurance Fund has. not long:before been established by the profession ;. the more so, since Assurance as an act of prudence must have been adopted by . many; and for want of such an establishment' amongst.thernselVes large sums must h ere t o f ore h ave b een con tributed to - other and distinct bodies, which; had a Society like this been earlier instituted, would have reverted to their own families. The Instittition'of this Society will also, no do u bt, b e th e means. of inducing .many ' Professional Men,' and also their Clerks, to effect - an assurance upon - their lives, who 'otherwise would not have done to ;.'and. thus, instead of leaving their fa milies destitute and dependent upon th e - c h ar ity o f ot h ers, t h ey will have the pleasing satisfaction of knowing, that from their own providence, their families after their death are independ ently provided for.- . • . .

OCCUPATION •OF PENSACOLA. Extraet of a Letter to the EDITORS of the NATIONA Ia- TELLIGE\CER, dated at Pensacola, July 0,1821. • Yesterday, after a series of delay, and disappointments, of a piCee with the whole tenor of out twenty years' negociations with Spain, the American Authorities were finally and formally put:in.poSsession of this city, of the fortress of the Barrancas, and of the dominion of the Floridas. Out of tenderness to the f&libgs -of the Spaniards, deeply excited by the painful separa tion, about to take place between those whogo and those who remain,-and who are allied notonly by the ties of intimacy and friendship contracted during a long period of a common resi dence in this pleasant.and salubrious region, and : confirmed by . a community of habitS and religion, as well as Of lineage and language, but knitted together by the most sacred and endear ing bands of consanguinity and.afnance, the cs.reniony:was.con ducted with very little ostentation. The Spanish, Governor's guard, consisting of a full company of dismounted drag:4ons of the renitent. of •Tarragona, elegantly .clad and equipped,;_iwas paraded at an early hour of the morning in front of the Gover nment House. About eight o'clock a battalion of the 4th regi ment of United States infantry, and a company of the 4th regi ment of United States artillery, the whole under the command of Colonel Brooke, of the 4th infantry, were . drawn up on th e public square, opposite to the Spanish guard, having marched into town from the encampment at Galvez' Spring.—The usual military salute passed between them.—Four companies of in fantry from the American line, under the command of Major Dinkins, of the.sth infantry, were then detached to take posses sion of tho Barrancas, which is nearly nine miles below this city. Managing Director, J. T. Barber Beaumont, Esq. 'F.A S. THE clistinguishipg.Principle. of these Ofiices is, that they combine the stability of Companies having a. large Capital, with the minor Advantage of sharing Profits as in Union Societies. Permanent Capitals, ,amountintr—to 650,0001. have been formed in addition to, the fluctuating Capital -arising froui 'the.Premiums ; audit is exprussly provided, that these Funds alone shall he answerable for*Losse,, whence Persons insured are effectually secured from', LiaMity for the Losses of others. In the Fire-Office, Returns of 20 atlit, 2s . per Cent. have been inrariahly paid to all Persons who havc-continueffinL sure,' S:even•Years, whether their Policies were talien•Aitt 'for Seven Years, or were renewed annually, which Returns dur ing the last Seven Years have exceeded 30,0001. In the Life 01/ice, Bonuses of 1:0-Rs. and 261.125. per cent. have been divided during the last fourteen years. OFFICE OF 0111),V,INCE, 1821.

At ten o'clock, the hour previously appointed, General Jack son, attended by his aids, secretary, interpreters, &.c. crossed the green, passed between the double line formed by the troops of both nations, who simultaneously saluted him by present ing arms, and entered the Government House, where the for mality of the transfer was soon dispatched, and the Spanish 'serjeafit's guard at the gate was immediately relieved by an American guard. After a few minutes, Governor Jackson, ac companied by-Colonel Cullava, the late Commandant, and their respective suites, left the Government House, and passed through the same doublei line of troops, to the house which the Governor has rented for the 'terpporary accommodation of his family. The Spanish troops were then marched to the place of embarkation—the American flag was displayed upon the flag staff', and grand salutes were fired by the artillery company and the United States ship Hotnet, a nun being given to each state and territory of the Federal Limon, not forgetting Florida, and the regimental band, and that of the Hornet, playing the " Star-spangled Banner" all the while.

The delivery of the Barrancas was performed with a little more parade. The Spanish flag was lowered to half-mast. The American flag . was raised to a level with it. Both flags were, in this situation, saluted by the Spaniards. After which, the Spanish colours Were hauled down, and the American ensign was hoisted. 'The American troops then saluted their national flag. The Ame rican troops made a fine and martial appearance, and the Hor net was gaily dressed. • _ _ _ __ _ The following is an extract of a letter, of •an old date, from' .Argentieuil;Lower Canada.

DUEL.—Early on Sunday morning, a meeting took place in a field beyond Portobello, Dublin, between J. 111—. N, and J. 11 T, Estirs. both students of College. A-fter an exchange of shots, in which the former's ball passed through the latter's hat, the seconds interfered, and the business was amicably terminated. Govern - or - Jackson, on assuming his functions, issued his proclamation. I learn to-day . that he is preparing some ordi nances on the subject 'Of our municipal police, which, if they are promulgated in season for this conveyance, I - will transmit to you. A strict system of quarantine, combined with salu tary internal regulations, vigilantly enforced, is indispensable., not only . 0 secure our health, but, what is almost equally pre cious to us, our ‘, good name.' The long delay in the delivery of this Country is on no account more to be regretted than as it has prevented the earlier adoption of. precautionary measures against the introduction of disease,to which we shall be rendered peculiarly liable froin the very salubrity of our situation ; for, as Pensacola is justly regarded as the temple of Hygeta, it is resorted to from every quarter where infection shows itself., We have, however, thank Cod, escaped every thing like gene ral or dangerous sickness, scarcely a death having occurred among our numerous and heterogeneous popttlation in the three Months •I have resided here. I have heard, in this interval, of only four deaths—one of a Gentleman who came here. from Alabania, dying of a consumption, who expired a-few days after his arrival ; another of a sailor from Orl.rans, who was la bouring under a dysentery when he left that City; which at last killed him ; the third was that of a creole struck by lightning a few miles below town ; and the fourth, as I remember, of a Spanish soldier in the Hospital. There will hereafter be' less danger of the importation of an epidemic, which, in truth, could not spread to any extent in this place • and of the generation of a contagious malady wehave not the slightcst.apprehension. We may now, at length, felicitate ourselves out opening prospects. Pensacola is destined eventually to become the great emporium of the Gulf of Mexico, and to enjoy a large share of the trade of the West. Under the paternal Government of Jackson, we hope soon to emerge from the weakness of infancy, and to escape from the restrictions of nonage. High expecta tions are entertained of his wisdom and - magnanimity in his civil capacity. Of his courage and.- decision, his military career has already afforded . conspicuous proofs. To the hand that so ably wielded the weapons of war' against fo reign enemies are now committed the sword and tha scales of justice, to weigh the rights of his fellow citi.eens, and to mete out punishment according to the measure of their wrongs; to 'him who so gallantly mood forth the champion of his coun try, is now confided the nurture and guardianship Of the last off spring of freedom, the youngest child of the family of free and federated America. He will. feel the eleVation and respon sibility of the mist reposed in him, of protecting the rights and promoting. the interests—of developing the resourc,:sof giving tone to the character, and determination to the•energies of this embryo sovereignty—and he will act under a full conviction of his duty. We have yet no 'press established in this city, though the printing apparatus for the oflice of the Floridian, a gazette some - tirat since announced to be published here, was shipped from Philadelphia early in June. Indeed we are daily looking for the "arrival of the publisher of a paper from the district of Co lunibia, whose pm - cos:as have been laid before the public. in your journals. By a happy coindence, however, the Theatre was opened for the first time in this city, on the very evening of the clay which witnessed the change of flags. .- Copy of the Paper in the English language, signed by the Commissioner on the part of-the United States, and the Com missioner on the part of his Catholic Majesty, upon the late delivery of possession of the Pro Vince of West Florida to the United States. • • • The' undersigned, Major Gen.

It may be asked why so many re turn home disgusted . and per:flyless ? I answer th a t ver y many m coe.over destitute of elf resources ; they cannot find employ - - ment in the cities immediately on landing—they have no means of support until - employment present itself-Ltheir hope is super seded by despair, and Misery succeeds. However, I am morally certain that iieem an' Who • comes over here animated with the spirit of industiy, and is in possession of resources to maintain his family a few weeks, need despail of feeding them in abund ance. lint the. idle man had better steer his caurse.to any other point'ofthecomPass than this. The folio:vile. singularadvante a ee to the indigent settler is .practised where I. am e—A man may have from an opulent land-owner. 'one, two; or three cows as soon. as he has grass and hay enouglr to support them ; he pays nothing; they remain with him three years, during which tiute he reaps all the adfantages accruint from milk, butter, and cheese foriiisfarnily. The sole condition of the proprietor is, that the cows dm to be restored at the expiration of the given - time,-together with th e fi rs t call; other calves of course b e l ong to the borrower. Every emigrant car. obtain a portion of 109 .ores .of land7upon proper - application to his Excellency the Governor. A log-house may be erected for 101. and six acres of- land canbe cleared' for about 10 or 201. more. The settler then has got over the grand difficulty, haying a 'sufficiency. of food for his family, and he may then look round him and pursue the course which appears most advantageoui. A man here Can na- be out of work. If he is not employed in his profession, his land always claiths his labour, and-returns his exertions in fifty.:fold value. I must at the. same time candidly admit, that at the -present price of ,all produce of the. land, 'there is little chance. of a man gaining much property in specie: my Maser.. vatioss apply solely to the facility of obtaining in abundance all the necessaries of life. An estate can , be purchased in Lower Canada, consisting of 100 acres, with log-house, ba r n s &c. and perhaps -40 or 40 . acres improved land., for two to three h u nd re d • pounds, and often much lower. The terms of payment are very - may, probably 70 or 801. in cash, and the remainder by instalments as the farm becomes improved. - • ..• "'Lower Canada is for the 'most part divided into Lordships and Seignories.
