DEATH OF MERRIwETHER LEWIS.
A report has reached this town, predica-
ted we believe upon good authority, that his
exCellency Merriwether Lewis, Governor of
Upper Louisiana, put an end to his life a few
days since, on this side of the Tennessee
river, on his way to this country. The Cir
cumstances, as we have heard them related,
are as follow: Mr.. Lewis had drawn on the
Government for money to discharge some
debt of 4 public nature; but what was The
amount of the sum required, or to what it
was to be applied, we have not been able to
learn-but his bills were protested-he was
seized with a deliriufn, aad in the, fit, dis
charged pistol at MS forehead.-the ball
glanced; he discharged a second pistol at
his breast; this also failing to tase effect,
he took knife add cut his wrist in such
manner, that, before any relief could be of
fered him, he bled to death Huw these
particulars could be ascertained so minutcly
and Mr.. Lewis nC1 be prevented from COM
uniting such an horrid act, we cannot say ::
but, that he has terminated his existence IN
a way somewhat like this is believed here :;
the information was brought by passenger
in the stage OF last Monday, who. he said.
passed Mr.. Lewis in FIVE minutes after the
act was committed, or five minutes before,
we cannot recollect which. We expect a
confirmation by next mail. ....R. Farmer.

ship Pierce Manning, captain PRATT, and
the brig Minerva, captain SPENCER, both
from this port, have been admitted to an en-
try at that port. From these letters, and
others of a previous date, received at this port
yesterday, by the ship GaHees, it appears
most likely that the Spanish government will
be induced to relax somewhat of their T.,
cent decree, prohibiting the admission of
ali foreign vessels into the ports of Cuba.
