COMMUNICATIONS.

lcould participate in the pleasure express
ed by the author of the communication in
your paper of Thursday last, in the contem-
plated erection ola Town Clock, were it at
tended with such circumstances az would rem
der it proper. I think, sir, that before we or
nament our public square with Clock, we
should turn our attention to the state of the
public buildings, and consider how we'll this
splendid structure would accord with the APP
pearance of the neighboring edlfces, whether
or not the Cupola and Clock perched upon
the top OF the Court House, would not resem-
bic Don Quixotte, in glittcring armor, be-
strlding his raw-boncd Rozinante or if plac-
ed In the Market Yard, the statue of Jupiter
In pig stye.-Lct, US sir, finish the useful
and necessary, before we think of the orna-
mental in our public buildings--twenty stran-
gers would pass through our town, and re-
mark the shabby appearance of our Jail and
other public buildings, before one would no.
tlcc that we were deficient in Town Clock
You may say that we are not sufficiently in
funds tor the accomplishment of such an un-
dertaklng' and that we should do what is in
our power towards improvement. There
would agree with you, but l think that placing
Cupola and Clock on the top of the old
Courthouse would be certainlya strange way
TO commence the building of new one-at
all events, its utility would be confined to two
or three squares adjacent to the market house;
to the inhabitants of these it would serve to
announce the hour of dinner, which they
might probably otherwise forget.
Yours, &c.

NASHVILLE, Ten. October IS.
TORNADO, E|.'

This town and neighborhood was visited, on
Saturday evening last, about 8 O'Clock, by a
TORNADO, more violent and destructive
than is often heard OLA large story brick
house, belonging to Major Anderson, which
was nearly completed, was blown entirely to
the ground. besides many other buildings in
different parts of the town, chimnies sc. sc.
The damage sustained by the citizens of this
town alone. cannot, IN our opinion. have been
less ttsn 10000 dollars.
We have seen and conversed with several
gentlemen from the country, and old settlers
here, vino. state they have never witnessed
suchia, scene OF destruction in this country
beiCre.
Nlth pleasure we STATE, that as yet, we
have heard ofno lives having been lost.
"a 4 Frumncr.
: 1t IS rumored in town, that two hundred
OF the ChicSasaw Indians have risen, for the
purpose OF opposing the troops who are direct
e. to open he'ro,id through the Creek nation.
We know not Whist credit 70 attach TO such a
report bet trust II may not prove true. We
certainly shouli much sooner suspect oppo-
s!tion from the Creeks themselves than from
the Chick saws
Since the report above alluded to reached
own we hive convelsed with gentleman be-
tnnging to the army, who says that our troops
ave prepared for the worst, and that they en-
poet opposition.

of several other merchants were added, who
have pettioned for similar relief.
Mr. Williams moved that the committee OF
the whole rise, for the purpose OF being dis
charged from the further consideration OF the
subject, in order that bill might be formed
embracing every case of this kind
This motion was opposed by Messrs. New
ton, Smile and Minor, and supported by
Alessrs. Williams, Widgery and M'Kim !;
after which the question was taken on the
committees rising, and agreed to. The bill
was then ordered to be recommitted to the
committee of commerce and manufactures.
The house went into committee of the
whole on the bill authorising the laying out
apublic road from the boundary line establish
ed by the treaty Of Grenville to the north
bend of the state Of Ohio. 1t was agreed to
without debate, and ordered to be engrossed
for third reading on Friday.

CARTEL FROM FRANCE.

A messenger this morning arrived in town,
who Quilted France by this conveyance, and
by whom we have regular file of Noniteurs
from the goth September up to the day inclu-
sive ofhis quitting Paris. The latest date in
London rs to the eth instant. By the same OPP
portunity we have variety of information,
s. the American charge d'afaires also receiv-
ed dispatches from. Mr.. Russell.
Mr.. Joel Barlow had been received with
particular distinction, and had exhibited his
credentials to the duke of Bassano, who re-
NAMED in Paris for the purose OF compliments
ing the new minister. Bonaparte had not re-
turned to his capital and was not Immediately
expected, AS proof of the revocation of the
Berlin and Milan DEGREES. Mr.. Barlow had
been informed that the ship Dryad, Captain
Clark, and Joseph Rlcketson, Captain Hill
dreth, of New York, both belonging to j.
Barker, merchant, of that city, and bound
from Liverpool to the Havana, with cargoes
composed of British merchandise, had been
boarded by French privateers, and released
without the smallest molestation after having
been inspected for a few hours.

The bill passed in the House Of Represen-
tatives, fixing the ratio of representation (ac-
cortling to the last census) at one member for
every $1,000 persons, has been disagreed to
by the Senate, who have substituted $4,000
instead of the number agreed on by the house.
1t will probably finally pass in this shape.
Mr.. Gallatin's letter to the committee of
commerce and manufactures, yesterday read
in the House Of Representatives, holds out
another comfortable prospect to the American
people. In order more strictly to enforce
the Non-Intercourse law, the Secretary re-
commends the appointment of Inspectors to
overlook the custom-housc officers, the en-
towering of persons to search houses, SC. sc.
