were made for the reception Of the grand

ordered his military coach, and with So

Imbortant--from HaDana.

BY one Of the latest arrivals, we have re-
ceived the subioined letter without a COM
munication OF the writer's name. The o.
mission was probably occasioned by the
p~reeaution rendered necessary on account
of the nature Of the communication, and
the arbitrary power possessed BY the officers
of government at Havana. In the letter we
think we recognize the hand of a gentleman
Of accuracy and honor.
The enclosure was q Spanish manuscript
which we have translated and annexed.
We venture to recommend it to attention
as authentic,

Dear Sir,
Enclosed You have a sketc h Of a regula-
ton which passed the Cabildo, or Supreme
Council Of the Island, en- the 9th ult. and
now before the heads of Departments for
their a~pprobation. When approved, they
will order it to be carried into execution,
and no doubt is entertained but that it will
meet their appreciation as they assisted at
the Iunta where it originated. Its ofsuch
importance to the commercial part of our
countrymeh, that / have to beg the favor of
you to cause the same to be published I'M
mediately for their general information, in

THE SLIP SALLY.

Liverpool with cargo of tobacco, and who,
since ms return TO this city, has been taken and
~ custody ut the marshal Of the district of Penn
syiva'ta, ON process issued for a violation of the
enibafgo laws mad contrived last Saturday to
elude the vigilance of one Of the inarshal's men,
ana make his escape, was retaken near Cape
May, brought back to this city, and is no.y safely
lodged in tie Jail in WALNUT street
Ii appears that after Pearce crossed the Della.
ware, horse AMI chair were waiting for him,
and It is more than probable, had not some ms
arrangement taken place, he would have been at
sea.
Pearce's escape obliged the marshal to offer
a considerable reward and Of course to give
very accurate de scrptinn of bis person and con-
HccuOns Tins advertisement has excited the re-
sentiment Of merchant Of tbs city ofthe name

with a prosecution for q libel however, as
Pearce is ret'ken, aud IN ali probability will not
readily escape again, ana as he can have but lit

extends. this is. generally, The case in .she
states West. S. West, and N West of Wiz
ginia. The presumption, therefore, is, that
those saline places were the principal resort
ct this animal. 1t is true, that the FER H do
also frequent such places; but, it is only,
that they may, from some covert or amb,fs-
cade. leap upon their prey. The lion, the
Tiger, or the panther of this cour w, find,
We may believe, at such resorts, tho full ad .
vantage OF their agility; but, we can never
believe, that an animal of so enormous a mass.
as the Mammoth, could possess. either the
requisite celebrity, or find covert sufficient
to conceal his hostile designs. The general
law, especially. with respect to the largest
ANIMALS. is. that their CELEBRITY is inverseN as
their mass; and the probability, arising al,
most to demonstration Is, that the Mammoth,
IN consequence of his conformation, was not
an exception to that law.-The conclusion.
then appears'to be, that he fre9uented these
saline places from the same impelling cause,
which acts so powerfully upon all herbivorous
quadrupeds; and, that this habitude NAV be
taken as sure guide in his classification.

CAPTHT.W FOLGER.

FROM THE PUBLIC ADVERTISER
We are not the advocates OF French ty-
ranny nor viii we ever countenance Ame-
rican knavery. a certain Captain Foger is
making great parade of his adventures in
France, for what purpose the people of the
United States will be the better enabled to
decide, when the SAID Captain Folger shall
have honestly answered tile following cues
tions:
Quotations fer Cahtui, Foire,.
1. Are you not the man who spread IA,
news in London, that Bonaparte had decia-
red war against the U. s. which news caused
great speCulations when it reached this
country?
Q. Did you rot spread that news know.
ing 1T to be false, i'll order to conceal the
real motive for your leaving France in dis
guisee
3. Were you not engaged in clandestine
trade between England and France, in viola
non of the laws of the u. 5. under the Ame
fcan flag:
d. Did YOU not boast 70 the commander
OF an American vessel whom you met in
London, that you had made great deal of
money by that kind of trade?
5. Was not your detection as a smuggler
the cause OF the seizure of your vessel in
Francel
6. Did you not confess to the American
commander, before mentioned, that you in
vented the tale of declaration of war by
France against the y. :. in order to smother
enquiry into your own cases
Z. Did you not give out that you had esca-
ped from French prison, merely to answer
a similar purpose?
2. How comes 1t that you have sufFsre d
yourself to remain so long in the u. ). with
out disclosing the circumstances which you
have just published.
9. Have you not fabricated the tale in
question, in order to cloak some sinister de
sign, or to pre-engage the public sympathy
III your behalf against the day when you will
be fully exposed and punished for violating
the laws OF your country!
When capt. folger answers these guesti-
ons, we have few more for him.
