Mr.. II. Clay writes to Kentucky, that I" il
IS understood the committee of L. X. have
hXed upon the period of the return of the
Hornet tor recommending their ultcrior
measures-not because that vessel went out
charged with any negotiation, which she
dsd NOT, )but because, when she arrives, the
Prince Regent being then untramnielled, we
shall know whether he will shun or initiate
the errors of his infatuated father. Circum-
stances, (says MIR. Clay,) RAY however ac-
CELEBRATE declaration of War" The p.
X. was certainly not freed from his tram
mels "when the Hornet arrived''-and If
she 7rdtts tor his fuN moon, she will scarce
ly he back to tile u. S. before the middle of
April. Ihus-the Parliament met on the
fth January six weeks after, his restrictions
cease: give him two weeks more to arrange
his Ministry about the 4th of March the
Hornet may be at Cherbourg as this trip
may be OF use to enable Mr.. Barlow to press
France to terms, by availnghimself of the
result OF the mission to England, let the
Hornet wait two weeks to bring us news of
the result of this pressure at Paris: she will
not reach the u. S. before the middle of A.
pril or the 1st Of May.-Captain Hull and
all his crew are said to have received the
most hattering attentions at Cherbourg on
the Port Admirafs repre- senting to the En-
peror the beautiful structure OF the Frigate,
he directed complete measurement to be
taken OF her, & a correct model to be pre-
pared. A wit observed with some spirit ON
the occasion, that Z we could not object to
bonaparte's taxing PATTERN from, the fine

speaks of the Report of the e. on f. Il. in
the highest terms, and whispers this pro-
phetic warning in the ears of Ministers -
:" The day that commences active hostilities
between the two countries, will be the most
rat al that England ever saw for in the pre-
sent desperate and almost irretrevable Stu
alton OF her affairs, we much fear that
war with America would be but the sure
precursor Of a civH conmotion at homer
In Port Orafaud, IN the island of Teneriffe,
$500 persons are said to have been swept off
by contagious fever in two months. The
Duke del ParQue, Captain-G General of those
islands, has been superseded, at the instance
of the Cortes, by DIR. Pedro Rodriquis de la
buria, and after an unavailing opposition,
has been compelled to yield the island to
his more fortunate comprehensive mo-
dern Dr. Don Pedro Positive !Snatchazuay.
1.-The Eastern States are at least making
very SHARP beginning in Manufactures -
PINS are made in New York, and KNIVES,
FORKS and other articles of CUTLERY in
Boston.--In the state of New-York, a Mr..
Barrlt has taken out a patent for tie Do
mestic RoUtng and Spinning Machine it
runs generally IL spindles; and with ma
chine of this description child IL years old
can spin IL runs day, (about six times the
usual days work of one ,woman.) The
same machine roves or ropes the wool and
cotton, and twists the vain for stockings or
other uses.-It is clear indeed that we
must trust to the resourc es of our own geni-
us for the Improvement of our own manufac-
lures ; for our good friends, the British, do
all in their power to prevent the rays of
their genius from being reflected across the
Atlantic. A man by the name of Wagstaff'
lately suspected at Liverpool of the hei-
nous offence of conveying certain manufae-
turing implements to America. The Spies
OF the Police got upon his scent, and traced
him on board the American ship the Mount
Vernon, bound to New-York The inple-
ments were put up into Boxes, and as soon
as these boxes were put on board, Wagstaff
was arrested with his % boxes, which we're
found to contain spindles used in the spin
ming OF Cotton. Wagstaff wascommitted to
Lancaster Castle, to take his triak at the
next Assizes "A Mr.. Whitlon of N. Y.
states in his petition to the Legislature that
he has discovered plant, which is COM
plete substitute for fax & Hemp, & can be
raised in greater quantities from the same
tract of ground.--The seat of government
IN the State of Ohio has been transferred to
ChilHcothe.-Amongst the most interesting
State-papers of the day, is the communica-
ton from the Governor to the Legislature OF
n. York enclosing the Report of the Com
missioners appointed "to report system for
the organization and establishment of com
mon Schools" The great end in view is to
bring the elements of knowledge home tc
every mans door. AS to the means, the Com
missioners report that the Literary or school
Jund is now worth $3.50, 464, the accruins
revenue on which each year is S45, 216
that, OF the 100000 acres of land originally
given to this fund, there are 100000 acres
yet to be sold and that as soon as this fund
shall yield revenue of $4,000, that reve-
nue. is directed by the Act of 1906. to be dis
tributed among the, different counties Of
the state. The Commissioners add, that
TINS SUM atone will fall far short of the OBJ
Ject as there are AS counties in the state,
comprising, exclusively of the cities, 44g
foFVHS, & 1t IS intended to cstablish school
or schools III each of these towns. }Thei,
proposition therefore is, that each towr
shall buy the lot and build the school-house
| and that, besides, it shall raise annually by
tax as much money as il shall have receiv-
ell from the Iiu6ic fund that the whole OF
lthis public fund shall be distributed amone
the different towns according to tireir res
