On Friday last, as a laboring man was dig

i (the property of Lewis Warnmag) near the
entrance OF Frankford Greek, for the purpose
Of erecting a stone wall, he fortunately dis
covered at the distance of three feet from the

verdigrease tale has been handed down by
tradition from father to son, that Blackboard,
the noted pirate, deposited his treasure in the
vicinity of the borough Of Frankford--a few of
the creduous inhabitants thereof, who were
anxious to better their fortunes speedily ra-
Their than by slow toll of many years, have
been digging in quest of imaginary treasure in
vain, whilst this worthy lsborer by the sweat
OF his brow, trusting to honcstindustry has been
rmply repaid for his toll by Providence
Some superstitious persons called on con-
,urer in the neighborhood to know his OPT
nlons respecting the treasure, who predicted
that the two largest and most valued were our
two first Presidents, (the smallest and inferi-
or the people) whose virtuous administration,
tho obscured at present by calumny, would
re-assume gradually the confidence ofthe peo-
pie; and that our present gloomy prospects
would disappear, and our country once more
blossom as the rose-ydm. Daily I'D.

A liberal education, ingrafted upon mind
endowed with the most active and energetic

all the fervor and brilliancy of genius-toge-

solace of an extensive circle of friends and ac-
quaintance.

LATEST FROM ENGLAND.

Yesterday afternoon arrived at this port
the fast sailing and well known ship Paci-
nc, stanton, in so davs from Liverpool, with
passengers and several American seamen.
put on board by the American Consul
Captain Stanton sailed from Liverpool on
the 9Th ct October, and has politely furnish
ed the Editors of the Mercantile Advertiser
w''h London papers and Lloyd's Lists to the
evening of the 9th of Octnber, and a Liver
pool paper of the Ssh, from which we have
made the following important extracts.
One OF our papers contains the I 18th French
Bulletin, dated at Majaisk, September 10th,
which details, perhaps, one Of the most
bloody battles ever fought, in which the
Russians are stated to have lost between 40
and fifty Thousand men, in killed, wounded
and prisoners, and the French 10000 killed
and wounded, among which are the generals
Mohtbrun, Count Cauncount. Plawarunnc.
Marion and Huart, killed and seven or eight
generals wornded. This battle took place
at Mowska, Us leagues from Moscow) on
the seventh of Septemt~r, at 6 O'Clock in
the morning, and ended at two in the After
noon.
The late hour which the Pacific arrived
and the great length Of the 18th Bulletin has
prevented us from publishing it until tomer-
row, when it will appear in the Mercantile
Advertiser entire. We have, however. g;
ven summary Of it from the same naf,.r
in which we find this important bulletin.
