PHILADELPHIA, May


1t is with sincere regret We record the me-
lancltolv accident which deprived the COM
nlu1aty of that late valuable member, THOMAS
B. DIcK, Esq. Of Chester, Delaware county.
On Sunday the 2lst uit. having occasion to-
visit the Jersey side, be embarked alone, in a
small SAID boar, and had scarcely cleared the
mouth Of Chester creek, when the sudden gust
of wind. which was so severely felt at Phila-
delphia, upset the boat, which being heavy
kslissted with sand, confined beneath the Hoo
rug, immediately sunk---and MIR. Dick was
seen to struggle, without the possibility Of re-
ceiying any assistance. The boat was Crap
pied and brought up the subsequent day---but
the body was not found until Monday last, at
Marcus Hook, about five miles from the spot
where the accident happened.
Mr.. Dick was one of the Federal Republic

We understand that capt. Grassin of the
French privateer the Diligent, now in our
port, has been arrested and held to bail at the
suit of some our citizens who have been piun-
dered by him. II the owner of the coffee, of
which he robbed a Portland schr few days
since, is DESTROYS of recovering his property,
it would be wei! for him to make application
in time. We hear that the Frenchman offers
to give that up to any one authorized to re.
ceiye it. y. S. GGz.

1t appears by the report of the Custom
house at Philadelphia, that the French priva-
teer lately arrived at that port had some pref
ty picking while on her cruise. Her cargo,
taken on board at sra, consisted of / 10 bags
and 40 tierces of CO re, and IL trunks of mcr-
chandize. Should the owners be inclined to
dispose of them, fine bargains may be expect

ages for r. pound carronades, le horns pow

Thus we already feel the good effect ofhsving

GEN. LEIB'S LETTER.
RIGHT OF INsrRUcrroN.

The worthy gentlemen who submit
ted the letter containing the follow
ing to our perusal, aud consented
80 its publication, mas our sincere
thanks. The sounduess OF the doc
trlne will not be questioned by gen
uine republicans defended as it IS
by the acamen and strength of Mr..
Leib,---a man who has long been
ranked In our estimation among
the first politicians of the United
States, and ablest members of the
Seaate. The extracts following
viii be read with the keener avidity /;
because the refractory votes of Mr.
Brent, Mr. PSpe, and Mr. Condit,
toy ther with the fatal concessions
OF Mr. Giles on late occasion, are
vet fresh in our memory--we had
almost said indignation.
Extract of a let err from General LEE,
ofthe Senate Of the United States,

"Ihe doctrine advanced by you a.

fashionable has certain doctrine be.
come OF late, that it would lead to
an opinion, that the principles or men
of our party had undergone a change,
and our party conflicts had ended in
a strife between ms and outs.
&C The very essence misrepresentation
IS deriyatiye, and supposes an origi.
nal from watch the representative de.
rives his authority; and as he is but
en- emsnation FROM the people, it would
be a soIecism to say, that the raw Is
Of more efficacy and power, than the
body from which it proceeded. 1t
was jNs,ly said by the celebrated
Judge Wilson, tiist "recresentasives
act not by their own power, but BY
the power Of those they represent !"
and further, that tie government is
a limited authority, not sovereien
oue--sovereign implies supreme, and
