II new inVention-A machine for Smelling
Corn, or separating it from the cob, mven
ted by Mr.. Josrhh Eve, has lately been
brought into operation.-It is per
fectly simple, is constructed of wood, and
may be made by common carpenter in IA
few days--It Is impelled by horse, and
will clean or separate FIVE or six hundred
bushels of corn in a day, and requires no
more hands to attend it than are necessary
for carrying tie Corn to- and from the
Machine. Mr.. Christopher Fitzsinols has
one of these Machines and Mr.. Rowal ano
Their, and third one is owaed by Captain
Eve, at whose plantation 1t may at any
time be seen in operation, by persons wish

and important an invention.

IlMPRESSAfENT.

The fair and honorable propositions made
by the government of the Y. States to Great
Briain, are such as no American who values
the honor and independence of the country,
will wish to exceed.
I" The prcsidence desires (ssys Mr.. Mon
roc) that the war which exists should be ter
minated on such conditions as may secure a
solid and durable peace. Toaccomplish this
great object, it is necessary that the interest
OF imprcssment be satisfactorily arranged.
He is willing that G.. Britain shouldbe secured
against the evils of which she complains. He
seeks on the other hand, chat the citizens of
the United States should be protected against
q practice which, while il degrades the nation,
deprive them of their rights as freemcn, take
them by force fr?m their families and their
country into foreign service, to fight the bat.
ties OF foreign power, perhaps agains, their
own kindred and country"
These are the principles upon which the
United States are willing to put an end to the
calamities Of war, and restore peace 10 the peo-
pie oftwo countries. But least 1t maybe said,
thai these principles arc too gener.l, and not
sufficiently defined, we extract the following
moderate and conciliatory proposition, made
by Mr. Russell, to the Bsi,ish Minister, Cas-
tlcrengh.
I" That tho laws to take effect on the discon.

should prohibit the employment Of the native
