MURDER.-On Monday night, between
and 20 O'Clock, horrid murder was
committed by some French and Italian
Sailors, on the body Of Mr.. WM. CHAM
BERs, who kept an extensive grocery
store. at the corner Of Market and An
son streets. 1t appears that on Sunday
night. some of the gang had provoked a
quarrel with Dir. Chambers, in which
they were beat and obliged to retreat 3
that on Monday night, in order to obtain
revenge, they had INCREASED their num-
bers. and arming themselves with knives
and clubs. commenced an assault upon
Mr.. Chambers's house. & a general scuf-
r3e ensued, in which Mr.. c. was stabbed
to the heart and instantly expired. A man
OF the name Of George Smith, a captain
Of coaster. received deep wound IN his
side. but it is believed that he will reco-
YER. Four of the party have been arrest
ed. and were this morning committed to
Jail by James Bentham, Esq. viz. Jean
3. Mitchell, Francois Otto, Pierre Ma
thereau, and Jean Lalin; Jean Choco-
late. supposed to be the principal ag-
gresscr, has not yet been taken.-1i1nes
fP The above named Jean Chocolate
was found Yesterday afternoon concealed
under bed, and from his clothes being
bloody. and other suspicious circumslan-
ces, he was committed to prison, under
the belief that he is the murderer. We
understand that these men, who have beer
committed to prison, are a part OF the

Mr.. EDITOR, -.
i see that you have imbibed the idea
that now Mr.. Monroe is taken into tiie
cabinet, our differences with G. Britain
will he settled at once! Get thy head
shaved, and take little water gruei-or
give that idea to the winds. Our differ
epees with Great Britain will never be
settled by the men now in pewer-and Tor
this very good reason: they would lose
that power by so doing: and they love
mower more than they love their country.
/ know you will say Mr.. Madison IS 100
eoed man to sacrifice the interests OF his
country. at the shrine of popularity. l
sill allow he is as good as the times will
permit. l believe he loves his country
we'll, but the presidency better. Let who
will be president of the United States. IL
he settles all dispute with Great Britain,
that moment he is abandoned by his re-
publican brethren. The truth is demo-
cracy is interviewer with the cause OF
France. If France falls, SO does demo-
eyaev. Hence it is, we find that our mo-
dern republicans uniformly rejoice at the
success of Bonaparte, and mourn for his
aecsat: And we may safely calculate,
that our disputes will not be adjusted with
Great Britain, because it is unpopular to
tio il. That commerce will not be 1os-
tered for it is unpopular to do it. We
shall not go to war with Britain lat pre-
seut)--it is unpopular to do so. And we
shall still continue along, with kind OF
do nothing policy, because, if it is not Po-
palar neither is it unpopular-and the
men in power run no risk.
