These locations are specially mad", copies of
which, together with copies of all the military
entries made below the Tennessee, certified by
the principal surveyor of the military lands, a;e
in my possession. It lias been stated to rne that a
great portion of the above lauds are of the first
quality ; Jk that neck of land bounded by the Ten
nessee river, the Ohio, the Mississippi and the
Tennessee line, has been generally represented
by these who have explored it, to possess superior
local advantages to any tract of equal extent in
the western country. The Indian claim to the
Lands in question is now about to be extinguish
ed, commissioners being appointed for that pur
pose, when those lauds will unquestionably be of
good value.
A i.so, acres on the S. W. side of the
Cumberland, one to two miles below the town of
Eddyville—This tract fronts on the river 433
poles, pari of tile low ground, which is extensive,
is heavily timbered ; and from the ijuantity of
earth eaten by wild animals at the river bank and
sundry places in tbe low ground, from my own
view and the opinion of others, it probably con
tains as rich a body of salt, as any yet discovered
in tbe state of Kentucky.
Ai so, 439 1-3 acres adjoining the back line of
the above. These tracts were patented in the
year 1737.

The following article will shew theestimati
on in which certain federal presses hold
the American government. Our public
ministers receive an out-fit and annual sa
lary, sufficient to support the dignity and
plainness of Republican manners. It is
not their routes and levees, but the justice
of their cause and the elevated character
ot the nation that must give them Cunse
quence.
From the Commercial Advertiser.
“American Ambassadors—An American
correspondent, now in Lmidon, enclosing an
article, relating the manner in which Mr,
Adams was received on his arrival in Hus
sia, thus expresses himself—
1 lie enclosed will give you a very just
idea of the opinion which all Foreign Courts
have of the insignificance of onr government.
An American who has a fortune, and lives
like a (lentleman, is more noticed and re
spected at the Courts of St. Cloud and St
Petersburgh, than the American Ambassa
dor, because the tormer supports his charac
ter, and the latter is not able to support the
style of a genthunan with the salary allowed
to him by his goverrftnent.”
The following is the article enclosed in the
tetter from which the preceding wasextrac
ted. It was taken from a Condon paper of
the 22d of November: 1
Letters tro n St. Petersburgh, of the

to the Russian Capital of this ship and her
charge, had been previously announced from
Catlscrona, and for a day or two previous
to her appearance, guns were prepared on
the ramparts to give eclat to the landing of
this new statesman ; at length, instead of a
frigate, as was expected, a merchant ship
laden with sugar and coffee hove in sight.—
A boat was hoisted out, and Mr. J. Q. A
pams approached the shore; hut before he
was suffered to lund, he underwent a s-vere
examination by t‘ e Officers of the Customs,1
who were with difficulty convinced that he
was the \mbass:idor expected from the new

and four children, came home in her. The
Africane lay two months in Hampton Komis,
after she landed Mr. Jackmit. Soon after
she arrived, sc.eiul of her crew deserted in
one of her boats; the men were claimed by
Captain Kagpe't, but the American moi.»
seemed to be the judges in the case, lot
thouph there appeared every disposition in |
the government t* restore the men, they
were never piven up, and.it whs attribute I
