declared that he would place tbs kingdom

any thing to fear in future from The power
OF the Court Of Vienna. Upon that e!cclara.

tended the Bavaran territory to Vienna on

vent of such importance would have been
announced to US by rejoicngs upon the
French coast, and by some bulletin convey,
ed to us in the usual way, But for our
own parts we are not very anxious for The
arrival ct the Preliminaries. The whole
business of humiliation and destruction was
done by the armistice--the rest is mere mat
ter of course-Znain, Presburg and Gralz
would not have been given up-the Tyrol
would not have been abandoned 10 the ver-
geance of the conquerer, had not Austria
been prepared to make almost any sacyih

to enquire of Rogers, the Shawanie chief,
as to the truth of the report
Mr.. Rogers says that Waabeleth,heh, a
Delaware and Hathaway, a Shawonie
chief, summoned him to attend solemn
council at their towns, that on his arrival
there he found that great revolution was
about to take place, they had interdlcted the
use of Intoxicating llquours and determined
to abandon the chase, to raise stock and
corn for food, and teach their women to
spin and weave their cloths. They had cs-
tablshed a court to try criminals, four per-
sons were tried, three men were found
guilty, and one woman acquitted. The
condemned were led out of town to thick
woods and tomahawk'd, they were then
placed on an immense pile of wood and
burnt to ashes; upwards of 100 men assist.
cd ut the execution.
&. The enquiry is going about as TO what we
are to do in the present emergency. On this
point common sense would say, let the lcgisla-
lures of the different states concate parties
let the real interests of the country be calmly
considered let us discountenance local distinc.
tons; let us become more constitutional, and
consequently more national, by becoming more
united; let it no longer be Massachusetts and
Vrsinjans, New Workers. and Pennsylvanians
but AnteyicaDs: then shall we become more re-
spectel and formidable abroad, more collected
and happy at home let us also instead of talk
ing, act for foreign nations will not believe
that we are in earnest until we make display
Of something more than mere words y. dry.

MOST HoRRID MURDERli,

We have TO record the most daring and outra
geous murder ever committed in this or any o.
Their country. On Friday night, little before 1
O'Clock, MIR Patrick Conway Of this city, mer.
chant, was found lying behind bis counter, in the
most shocking conditlon.--He was first discover
ed, from his groans, by two young men, John
Owen and Turner Dautry, who alarmed some
neghboring gentlemen. Medical aid was pro-
cured, but to no eiIect--the deceased had as ma.
ny as eight wounds about his head and face his
scull was fractured in some places, in others
mashed, and his jaw and cheek bones broken-he
spoke but twice, and then onlyU,e or two words.
and died in about an hour. The floor where he
lay, was covered with blood, and from the yio.
lence OF the blows had guslied up on the shelves.
He was too far exhausted to give any informant.
on OF the murderer--Among the blood, and A.
bout the body, were several Fractured pieces of
green pine stick and bark, which had apparently
been knocked off the stick by the violence of tie
blows.
1t appears the murder was committed, in or.
der to rob the store of the deceased, as the mo.
ney drawer was found open the money taken
out, and some dropped ON the floor Though it

is believed that the pcrpetrator did not get
much. as the bulk of the cash was kept in another
place.
John Owen, . cabinet maker, ore Of the Young
men who FIRST gave Information of the situation
OF the deceased. has been suspected. He was
taken up next DAY, and after lengthy examina-
ton by the magistsacy, and after hearing testi-
mony, was committed to the Jail Of this city, to
wait his trial the FIRST Monday in October next
We deem it improper to publish any thing which
has fallen from the prisoner in the course of his
examination, or any ofthe testimony which hears
against him it would look too much like wish
ing to forestall the public opinion before the trial
We can only say, that circumstances are strong
against him.
The butt end of pine stick has been found in
the store oftlie deceased, not far from where he
lay it is blsodv witness has rra"e:: fla: G,s-
en- cut pine stick in his presence, the afternoon
before the murder and on comparing the stick
with the stump, they very exactly fit.
Mr.. Conway vas AN Irishman by birth, and had
resided among US nearly two years, during Which
time he has sustained a worthy reputation He
was remarkable for a lively disposition, and de-

rable loss to ON society 80. Minerva.
