IEgz;lqu HopG,--Yeaerday an ancient Brit
on, named Griffith, was brought before the
chief magiRratc, charged with an afiauit and
battery upon the perfon Of German Philoio-
pher, who is a dealer in cheeie, four circuit,
fmoked faufages, and other iAvory riands Of
which ahaat and battery the complainant eI-
hibited The Fad marks of pair of black eyes,
and the countenanee covered by the maifcriy
itrekes q an adept in pugyiiim
The German itated, that he Mas IN public

a number Of Perions, Of whom Griffith was
one and shat having had iome warm difputes

the fawyer, after cool and mature delibera-
tion food up and truck him with his flt in
the eve; and that Immediately afterwards,
the ref Of the company, among whom was
Griffith, entered into very liberal lubicrip-
ton sf the fame kind of compliments, attacked
him EN- matte, and beat him unmercifully.-
The lawyer ran away, and the ref of the
company followed his example in this alto
and tile only one of which he had been able
10 obtain IN cuitody was Griffith.
w. Griffith, IN his defence, gave quite diff
ferenl ver6on of tho itory and from his Rate
ment, il appeared that the lawyer. who 1t
feemed was alto philosopher, though of
different ichool was very warmly engaged IN
an Astronomical dilcufIion with the German,
touching the erder of The fyltem in which our
earth is placed. The German Oblhnatsy
maintained the doctrine Of Tycho Brahe,
thar our earth il ltationary, and that the fun
and planets move round it, as centre; while
the iawyer, who is a dilciple and champion Of
the Copornican School, maintained the doc
5rine of Newton, and the moderns Much
gin and beer were sxhaufled in the diIpute,
and much Of learning and eloquence laylihcd
on both lides.
The contGft became too hot TO be iultained
by words, and the parts, unable to bring
each other to reafon by the dmt Of argument,
relorted At lat TO the ultima rate regnA7. The
fawyer told the German, that if he would pro-
mile not TO take the law of him, he would
knock him down. The German, lenhble of
his kindneis acceded 10 the prOpoial, which
was Immediately ratified, nnder the hgn man
ual of the lawyer, upon the belt eye of the
German who counterigned, in his turn, upon
the nofe Of his anngoniit War being thus
commenced, according to the law of arms, as
laid down by Grotigs, the battle waged hot

the better man, and zoo much for his Amigo

It is with the sincerest pleasure that We an

Captain LElVIS, with his exploring party at
St. Louis.
Ths president Of the United States has re-
ceived a letter from him dated at St. Louis,
September %, at which place himself, captain
Clarke and their party arrived that day. They
had passed the preceding winter at place
which he calls Fort Clatstop, near the mouth
of the Columbia River. They set out from
thence on the 9Th OF March last, and arrived
at the foot of the Rocky Mountains, May 10,
where they were detained until June %, by
the SHOWS which rendered tie passage over
these mountains impracticabe Until then. lie
found il 2575 miles from the mouth of the
Missouri to the great fails Of thar river, thence
by land passing the Rocky Mountains TO ma
vigable part OF the kooskoose $40 miles, ot
which two hundred would admit good road, and
one hundred and forty miles over tremendous
mountains which for sixty miles are coveret,
with eternal SHOWS, thea seventy three miles
down the KooskooSke into south-eastWardiy
branch of the Columbia, one hundred and fifty
four miles down that % the main river OF the
Columbia, and tlen four hundred and thirteen
miles TO the Pacific, IN all three thousand tive
hundred and flty i've miles from the mouth
OF the Missouri to the mouth of the Columbia
Inthis last river the tide flows one hundred
and eighty three males, to within seven miles
of its great rapids, and so far would aerat large
sIoops and from thence upwards may be na-
vigated by batteaux and periaugers. He speaks
of this whole line furnishing the most valuable
furs in the world, and a short and direct course
for them to the eastern coast OF China but
that the greatest part Of these wonid be from
the head Of the Missouri. He says It Is tortu-
nate he did not SEM back from the head OF the
Missouri any part Of his force, consisting Of
thirty one men, as more than once they owed
their lives and the fate of the expedition to
their numbers One man Of his party had di'
ed before he reached fort Mandan in one, thou
sand eight hundred and foul, every other one
is returned In good health.
Captain Lewis expected to remain at Saint
Louis some days to settle with his men,and
would then set out for Washington by the way
OF Vincennes, Louisville, Abingdon, Fincastle,
Staunton and Charlottesville. He is accompa-
MED by the Great Mandan chief, who is on a
visit to Washington Captain Lewis speaks
of his colleague, captain Clarke in the most af-
fectionate terms, and declares his equal title
to whatever merit may be ascrbcd in the
success Of his enterprise.
