The Constitution ot the Y. States having
ordained that an enume ration oil the inhabi-
tants shall be made every ten years, Congress
at their last session enacted laws authorisinp,
the Secretary OF State 10 cause census TO
be taken which will be the third enumcra-
ton under the present Government. Accor-
Gingiy, the Secretary has issued to the Mar
shals OF Districts and TO the Secretaries of
Territories the subloined instructions, ,oae,h
er with copies of the acts of Congress on the
subject, and of the forms of the oaths and of
the returns which they prescribe, ,ransmi,-
ting TO each sufficient number Tor the use
Of their several assistants, tie better to ena-
bic them TO complete the census within the
period of time limited by the law
As the enumeration of the inhabitants OF
the y. States is the basis upon which the re
presentation. in Congres ss-is regulated, it will
at once be perceived that il is subject of
primary national importance and, therefore,
ought to receive every possible facility which
the Intelligence of the community can afford
TO those who are employed to carry it into eff
feet. II is hoped that the newspapers Of ev-
cry political complexion will give circulation
to the instructions in question, which will con-
tribute 10 a better and more general under
siandiDs oil the subject, and obviatc the fears
of the Ignorant, who may conceive the emu
meration Intended for sinister purposes.
lnded, when we reflect that the strength Of
every nation consists chiefly in the number of
its inhabitants ; and that foreign states will
form their opinions of our political power, in
great degree, from the progress OF our po.
pulation, every citizen must feel an interest
in promoting the object of the census law,
which is to ascertain in the most accurate
manner possible the whole number of per-
sons,of all ages and every sex,within the sew
erai States and Territories of the United
States.

Extract Of a letter from an american ger
tlen,an IN Malta, to his correspondent IN
this tom, dated Malta, Aug. "a, 1910.
A very unpleasant business has taken
place between the Bey of Iunls and our
Consul. 1t seems an American ship was
captured by French priyateer, aud car
ried in into Tunis, where she was purchased
by minister of the Bey's put under Tu-
nissan colors and sent here. Her former
superca, go being in Malta, appealed to
the British court of admiralty TO have her
stopped, in cons equence of some iIiegality
in the condemnation. They declined in.
terfering, as out of their Jurisdiction. He
then applied to the tribunal OF Malta !;
they stopped the ship and the case. is now
undecided in that court. The Bey, hearing
of this, has con6scaeed all the American
property in Tunis, say $50 to 200 900 dol
lars. Mr.. Cox, the consul, has arrived
here in flag of truce, to settle the busi-
ness, but whether restoring the ship will sa'
tisfy the B-y, or war will follows time
only can determine"

mined conduct in this affair has inspired
the greatest confidence in the people; and
although the head quarters Ut the army
are at MARA, about 20 miles hence, NOT
the least uneasiness prevails, and every
thing is perfectly quiet. Since the battle
OF the 27th the enemy made an attempt to
turn the left wing of the combined army,
and thus by a bold push to get between y
and Lisbon, but in this they were folied ~
the active vigilance of lord Wellington, WIN.
by prompt and rapid retrogade movements
thwarted their intentions, in which il the
Z rench had succeeded they would have
been enabled to occupy The immrns ~
strong chain of batteries the Eilush have
erected from the Tagus across TO The sea,
and thus have made themselves masters Ut
this place by Gne maneuvre.
A great ba,tIe now aPptars to be una
voidable, and as the Portuguese troops have
been fairly proved in the late battle at Busa..
co, a glorious result is anticipated"

stating, that the emperor Napoleon had ap-

occurred, except skirmishing with tbs oat
posts. Both armies had been reinforced
Romano, with $4,000 Spanlafds, had join
ed lord Wellington's army; and Regnier,
with 10000 men from Badajoz, haa join
ed Masszna. An embargo was laid al Lis

tiorary measure for the purpose, il was
said, of removing the persons and property
in case of necessity. sThe French had en-
tered Oporto and tiguera.

cut off, as well by the Spanish peasantry. as
the militia corps, under ths orders OF gen.
Buccllar and those OF Sirelra. 1he French
were not only in want OF provisions, but
military stores, and they mus fight with
