AMERICA.
(FROM TR2wartoaAL INTIMUSINCItit. )
We have immense tracks of wild Red fertile ands
on which, if adventereis had a little assistance, they.
might settle, and instead of being idle nuisances, hV.
come respectable and useful ratizNir.. Intteld
througing the Streets of
.cities which have ahea'ele a
superabundance ot Labourers, they shotild be subdue
lag the lotests on the bank; of the Ohio, the Wabash;
the Missouri, and Mississippi. Let them be ton.
ducted west of the mountains, and they will rod a
boundless field for their enterprise. Let those who
can work at agriculture come here, and they may in
a short time find themselves the proprietors of rich
and beautiful farms.
Indeed, when we view the choicest portion of nee
globe in s state of nature ; when we see the immense
tracks of excellent land whic4 remain wild, unculti-
vated, arid inhabited only by wild beasts ; and at the
same time think of the miliitais of hungry poor who
drag out a miserable eetistence in the eastern hemi.
sphere, how devoutly have we wished that some bent.
volent Moses would lead them to this land r:f promise.
Those who have not been bred to agriculture, who
cannot wield the,axe and guide the plough, may also
emploY their time and skin to better advantage here
than in the Atlantic States. Let the bricklayers, the
stonemasons, the housewrights, the tanners, the shoe.
makers, and mechhuics ot every description, come to
Kentucky, Onio, Tenneksee, aild Indiana, and we
promise that they shall fiod employment and high
wages.
Now these foreigners are ignorant of all this, or
perhaps if they know it, have not the means of get.
dug here. The expense of traiisporting them over
the mountains would not be great. And if se should
give them a part of our vacant lands to settle upon,
the rem tinder an :Id 'scream: in value enough, and
more than enough, to pay for it. Besides, it would
be n charitable, a humane act, and would call damn
the blessillgs of HEAVEN on oar republic.
In order to give effect to the scheme, let Congress
At their next Session provide some means to bring
about this desirable objict. If they in their %viatica%
should think it repugnant to the interests of the na-
tion, then Let benevolent individuals form themselves
into sf.cieties, and concert measures to take them.
without delay, with their fitmilics, out of the cities
into the interior, rhere they wi)l make the" wilder-
ness blossom as the rose."
Those individuals who own large tracks of wild
land would find it their interest to settle Colonies of
these people 'upon it by its increase ot value; and
they would :rave the additional satisfution of having
snatched Many a hapless victim from penury, rice,
and despair.

EAST !NMI IN7'ELLIGENCE:

Accounts have beep received front Bomber and

the latter place on the 18th of July. We subjoin,a
stiknatenf_the contents of the Madras Couriers :

slittrtrtaty with dig Brings Government ; the last of
'itihreff Was, dui the Goorkah garrison should evacu-
Me tile importatit fort of Nagnee. This was done
the 18th of April, and the tort was immediately oc-
-cupied by A detachment of British troops.
Very extraordinary occurrences, have taken place
at Bucheer. The,Viceroy of Persia having resolved
on seizing the contents of the Treasury at Bucheer,
one of its dependencies deputed a confidential servant
fog that purpose dt the name orblirza Hussein Khan.
Shaik Mahomed, who had been left in charge of the
Government by his-nephew, daring alew month.'
absence, sooner learnt the arrival of M. H. Khan
in the neighbOurhood, than he sent him a message to
return from whence be came, explaining that he was
left in trust with the city; and without written orders
*oat the Vizier lie should not' deliver the place to
bum. The, Khan endeavoured to accommodate
matters by tan- words, but Mahomed closed the gates
of the city upon him,' and then assembled all the
populace and artisans of the town, and stationed
them on the bastions and walls of the fort, and from
night until morning kept up a fire of guns and mus.
ketry, and continued the same during 27 days, until
Mimi Hussein intercepted the entrance of water into
the tort; in consequence, fresh water, became ex-
tremely scarce in Bucheer. Being at length redtiped
to the last extremity, the people in general began to
desert; the wealthy merchants endeavoured to obtain
some boats of newt from the islzad of Muir&
without success, and were in the end compelled to
fly with their taniities, some by land, and some by
sea.— Dining these proceedings (about the Ist of the
Month of Rantazan), intornialion was received from
Mr. Ba uce, at the kaiglisli residence at Hoollayla, to
•which place, on account of•the scaicity of water, he
hid reined, that tour pirate boats lull of men had
arrived at that place. In consequence, the people of
.Bucheer remaining behind became extremely alarm-
ed, and taking their fanlines, goods and effects with
them, quitted the city. Water was now so scarce,
that two gooets could not be obtained for 70 rupees,
and niany had died horn thirst.
Ou the 21st (R.iinazan), the pirates before-men-
tioned landed, and proceeded to wait upon Sheik
Mationied. Tuey stripped every inhabitant they met
on the road. They also broke open the bazaars, and
tarried off every thing they contained. As there
was a considerable number of people, called Bell.
banys, who were not concerned in this treasonable
conbpiracy with Shaik Mahomed, the latter proceed-
ed writ the pirates, and his own adherents, to the
quarter ut the city inhabited by the Behbanys, and
'attacked them ; and fighting between the people of
Sheik Maimed and the pirates on one side, and the
Behbanys on the other, continued from the morning
of the 21st until the evening of the 22d Raznazalt.—
About 20 of the pirates were killed, and about 40 of
the Behbanys wounded; they maintained the fight
Until the evening, when they were much distressed,
and demanded quarter. Sheik Mahomed gave them
quarter, and hostilities ceased. he then ordered his
party with the pirates to plunder the city.
From three o'clock to sunset they had plundeted
the greatei part of the city, and then embarked on
board their boats, with the intention of relanditig the
next day, the 23d, and plundering the remainder,
slaughtering the inhabitants, and destroying the
houses by the fire of cannon, and then to take their
departure with their plunder. Instead of acting in
conformity to this resolution Mahomed and his party
fled on board their vessels with the' plunder they bad
already obtained, and ultimately arrived at Khorg,
When the intelligence of these events reached the
throne, his Majesty expressed himself extremely al-
fl:ted that so fine and populous a city and sea part
should have been destroyed, but, nevertheless, he sent
a confidential servant to Shaik Mal.onaed and his
ptrty with assurances of security and forgiveness; and
this extraordinary and base affair terminated by their
bang put in possession of Bucheer. The treasure
obtained on the occasion is estimated at seventy lets
of rupees.
A new brevet promotion is about to. take place in
the Indian army, by which all Lieutenants of 15
years standing, inclusive of the year
,of their appoint-
ment as cadet, obtain the rank of Captain, but with-
out receiving any increase of allowances. This pro.
motion in the Bengal army has been published in the
Crakaila Castile.
Atter some hard fighting, and no small labour and I
pains, a detachment of the army in India has extir-
pated a horde of pirates on the banks of the Indus.
Several lives were lost on both sides.
From Calcutta it is-stated, that Runjeet Singh
has effected his purpose in visiting Bhawulpoor.
After the usual routine of promises, offers, evasions,
delays, and site appearance of intended resistance,
the Nawab of Bhawulpoor paid 71,000 rupees, and
gave numerous presents to Runjeet Singh, who im•
mediately sent forward tents and attendants in the
direction of Mooltan. .
Runjeet Singh next intended to exact tribute at
Mooltan. On the 3d of March he was on
.his way

thither.
The Indian Chiefs, as usual, are engaged in war-
fare with each other in every direction. The 'want
of union amongst them affords a tolerable guarantee
to the predominance of our power in that country.
The Madras Coarier of the 28th of May states,
that several mt rchant vessels had arrived from France,
freighted principally with wines. Claret was a per-
fect drug in the markets, and considerable quantities
had been bold at one dollar per dozen. The general
trade of the island was brisk in consequence of these.
arrivals.
There has recently been launched from the Bombay
Docks, the new ship Buckinghamshire, of the burden
of 1350 tons, built for the Honourable Company's
regular service, ancl commanded by Captain Fred..

CALCUTTA, JUNE es. .
- On Wednesday morning a meeting was held by
several,Gentlemen of the Presidency, for the purpose
'of taking into consideration the institution of a Hor-
ticultural Society. An establishment of this descrip-
tion has long been desirable in Bengal, where nature
affords every requisite for that perfection which art
alone can finally obtain. There can be little doubt
that the indigenous fruits and vegetables might be
most essentially improved by scientific cultivation,
and the rich soil and invariable summer of these re-
gions mast be favourable to exotic introductions,
under judicious management and sedulous attention.
It has always, however, been a matter of regret,
that amongst ail our gardens we are absolutely with.
out a gardener; and till the Ma//i becomes a creature
of a new species, we may say of the fields and
plantations—
. " Man Is the only growth that dwindles here."
To introduce improved methods, and rear gar-
deners as well as plants, are the chief objects, we
understand, of the present Society; the members of
which will, by their Subscription, secure a supply of
the best vegetables and fruits, Indian and European,
for their tables, and of any curious plants or flowers
which they may be desirous of introducing into gar-
dens of their own. The first measure of the Society
is the purchase of an extensive piece of ground in the
vicinity of Calcutta, which is to be appropriated to
the purpose of a nursery and kitchen-garden ; and
the next step is to maintain an efficient, establishment
under an able superintendent.

JAMAICA PAPERS.

We have this morning received Jamaica Pipers to
the 1&h ult. They present the following official
Correspondence, which will prove acceptable to our
Commercial Readers :

" KINGSTON, OCTOBER 13.

" We are happy to find that the port of Carib&
gena has again been opened to British vessels, and
that the 'termination of the blockade of the coast has
been officially announced to Rear-Admiral Douglas
by General Morillo. The following letters, received
by the Admiral, have been transmitted by him to his
Honour the Mayor, for the information of those con-
cerned in the trade to the Spanish Main:

" CA RTHAGENA ow rue INDIES, AUGUST SI.

Moor EXCIILLiNT Sts—l transmit to you the
enclosed Letter from Lwutenant•General Don Pablo
Morino, from which your Excellency will perceive
that the blockade of this coast has terminated. For
my part, I have determined to open this port to the
trade of the Colonies, which are eitherour allies or
neutral, as formerly, under this condition, that all
foreigners concerned in this trade, shall carry it on
through Spanish consignees and agents.
64 I acquaint your Excellency with this, in order
that you may, if you please, cause it to be inserted in
the Gazettes of the Island, to give publicity to news
from which so great an advantage may result to the
merchants of the Colony. I have the honour to re-
peat to your Excellency the high esteem I have for
you. Msy GOD preserve your Excellency many
years. (Signed) 44 FRANCISCO Di SIONTALYO.

" To his Excellency Admiral Douglas, Commander
in Chief, Jamaica."

44 Head-quarters, Santa Fe de Bogota.

.: MOST EXCELLENT SIO.--111 my communication of
the 30th July (last year) I mentioned to your Excel.
leacy that 1 bad blockaded the eity of Carthagena
and the coast, from the port of Santa Martha to the
river Atrato inclusive. In thatof the 12th December,
same year, I reported that the blockade from Santa
Martha to the river Atrato continued in force, to the
very extent which I had mentioned to your Excel.
lency, but that in future fbreign vessels shall be
admitted to Santa Martha, as heretofore.

" At this moment, the kingdom being at peace,,l
the coasts in our possession, and that especially which
had been in a state of blockade, I have taken it off as
Mr as lies in my power, but it belongs exclusively to
his Excellency the Captain• General of the Kingdom
to permit, to prohibit, or to regulate the intercourse
of foreigners ; for all authority 'vested in me in these
countries has ceased when I deliver them up to him,
submitting to the will of the King, my master.—
GOD preserve your Excellency many years.

LINITED ATES. .
Further American Papers lave reached Town, bit
.
not of more recent dates than those previously come
to hand. They contain, however, the following ad-
ditional intelligence :—The Eastport rumour relative
to the. seizure of American property is thus explained:
A new Collector who was appointed at St. Andrew's,
in which district Eastport is comprehended, deemed
some indulgences of the former Collector incorrect,
and in consequence seized all the merchandise which
'vas judged to have been imported contrary to law
the merchants having been so long indulged in'a
free trade, and not calculating on this change, were
very naturally surprised, and of course had spread
alarms calculated to awaken the public sensibility;
but the suggestion of war growing out of the circum-
stance was considered entirely out ot the question.—
The 50 gun ship, the Annan, connected with the
transaction, was sent, it its said, from Halifax to cruise
along the coast, and to touch at Shelburne, Moose.
Island, &c. in order to occupy and divert the minds
of the crew, who had *hewn some symptoms of a
mutinous disposition. The seizures reported to have
taken place on account of a breach of the Revenue
Laws, art now believed to be mostly British.
Some worthy citizen in the National Intelligenter, at
the moment that thousands ot miserable emigrants
are perishing for want on the inhospitable shores of
America, holds out the following fascinating temp.
'radial to new adventurers:—" Let those who can
work at agriculture come here (hither), and they
may, in a short time, find themselves proprietors of
rich and beautiful farms." And again :—" Let the
bricklayers„the stone-masons, the housewrights, the
tanners, the shoemakers, and mechanics of every de.
ecription, come to Kentucky, Ohio, Tennessee, and
Indiana, and we promise that they shall find employ-
ment and high wages." This promissory ante of so
large extent has unfortunately a small technical de-
-1 Sect; it is, as a dramatic conveyancer once observed
of a defective document laid before him, 44 a deed
without a name I" Furthermore, if this defect were
cured, we more than doubt whether the note would
be paid on demand ; and for this simple reason—
that there are agricultural labourers, there are brick-
layers, shoemakers, &c. Ste. upon the spot, who have
come in search of these rich and beautiful farms, and
of these high wages, but who experience, instead, no-
thing but hardheartedness, cruelty, and starvation.
