The Legislature Of this state adjourned on

The principal point which engaged their at

see, without blush, the Eastern states out
stripping us in the Career of Educatien-
and that the school fund of Connecticut is so
extensive as even to draw a member OF the
Senate of the U. S. to become its commissi-
oner.

Mr.. Dana was member Of the present
II. OF X. of the U. S--perhaps one of the
most virulent and opinionative men in it
And yet he does not command the entire con-
fdence of his party-they say he deals
too much in concessions. He was, however,
the very first man who came out in opposi-
tion to the resolutions of Mr. Giles-the
very first man in Congress. who took an open

deralists will not be benefited by these
changes. They have lost flippant declaim

FROM TARRAGONA, &c.

Captain Gunner arrived at Marblchead
yesterday from the Mediterranean. He left
Tarragona the 18th of February. While
there, 500 French prisoners were taken near
Barcelona and brought in, being part ofshe
garrison ofthat place, by whom they found
there was but small number remaining,
which determined the Spaniards to attack
Barcelona but the French shortly receiving
reinforcement of 1900, the design was a
bandoned. The inhabitants of Tarragona
were ingood spirits, and determined to de.
fend themselves, at all hazards, against The
French.
The French had had possession of Alge-
siras. but quilted it, carrying OF about IL 900
dollars cash.
About 2 or 800 had also made their .p-
pearance near Gibraltar, upon the neutral
ground. A small detachment ofSpaniar}s,
under SERGEANT, attacked them--killed
anurnber and drove them OFF the ground !;
but the poor serjean. was killed.
The French had got possession of all the
chiefplaces from Malaga to Almoran, near
Carthagena, and the land communication
between this place and Gibraltar, was cut
of. Capt. @. saw the smoaking ruins of
tie Notifications destroyed by the British
near Gibraltar.

oned himself in the town OF Lanseveau.
The next order from the president was TO
take him by force.-Things had now gone so
far. there'wa no room left for reconciliation :;
his head was forfeited therefore, he was
resolved to sell his life as dear as possible.
For some time he defended himself bravely in
the streets of the town, against three times
his number, satil many of his men were
killed. when he retreated to his own house
where himself and every soul about him was
massacred, consisting of between SO and so
men. At this time, there was number of
parties collected in the woods, and others
marching from different parts of the south
particularly from about Jeremie, which place
is in a continual state of revolt.
Such has been the fear ofthe foreigners
here OF a massacre taking place. that they
have pctitioned the Governor of Jamaica as
well as the Admiral on that station, for
couple Of ships to be sent here, as an asy-
ium for them to fee to. In consequence of
which, the Dudley frigate has arrived, and
another daily expected for that purpose.
An embargo has been on for some time,
until few days since--The cause Of it
was, to prevent any information being car.
ried to Chris1ophe of the state of the South.
The country is fast falling into ruin
from number Of reasons-From the num-
bers taken up in the army and navy, there
are few cultivators and indeed, for the want
of people to pick the coffee, the greater
part OF it falls on the earth and is lost
There is also great want of faith among
the native merchants, owing to those fire.
Quent revolutions as those charges in go.
vernment generally cancel all old debts.
1--WE understand from Jeremie, their state
is still worse than ours. as massacre has,
ttor some time, been publicly talked of that
the people of colour are to be the victims
Should this take place, fear the whites
will hardly escape.
I'VE have just received an account of
Aux Cages being plundered. and tho it
wants confirmation, it is pretty generally
believed. as little else Can be expected for
there is no security for either life or pro
perty. from day to day in all the Southern
departments.
