} TUESDAY, JANuAnr ".

AS we predicted, the proceedings
Of the Cenysation At Hartford, have
been honorable to themselves. and
psrfeetly consistent with the best in-
tsrests of the couatry. Upon the a.
doption Of their proposed amend
saents to the constitutions, depend the
relief Of the nation from it's present
embarrassments, and the permanent
cy of its future prosperity. Expe
rienee has convinced us, that this in
strument. wise and provilent as il is,
Is inc Ifieient to many Of the most i'm
portant purposes. for which It was
intended. ii is therefore high time
to amend it. The improvements sug.
gestei by the sOisemsn Of the East,
are we'll calculated to supply its pre-
seat deticaeacies, an TO secure to US
! the lasting advantages which It was
designed to afford as. We cannot
io;n ia the opinion which has been
] expressed by some Of cur political
friends, whose opinions we have beea
accustomed 10 respect, viz: That
/ tue Canscntiea 8 have not gene far
! enough. We think they nave gone
just far enoagh, and no farther.
They have .jnstiiiels the eoaJideacs
Of their friends. and they have com
pietely disappointed the malice Of
their eac'sies.

MbAANO1OEl NARiEAl FIVE.
The Clifton, of Workington, Thomas
Osborn, master, sailed from tie bay OF
ChaIeur on Monday the 2lst Of November,
for Liverpool. On the 25th of the same
month, in heavy gale of wind and snow
storm, was cast away near Cape St.
George, on an uninhabited part of the
coast of newfoundland. The crew sue.
ceeded III landing, in saving some proyi-
slons, and the boats belonging to the YES
sel-immediateiy erected huts for then
accommodation, and prudently restricted
themselves to short allowance of food.
On the 9th of December, two parties
were sent out, in different directions, in
quest of inhabitants, the one consisting OF
the mate and six men the other OF two ap-
prentice lads, William Gill Of Working
ton, and William TailwOod, of Liverpool
the former returned, after an unsuccessful
search of five days the latter never re-
Joined their shipmates.
On the seth of December, James MIST a
native Of Africa died.
On the 23d April the ice broke up-.
around the place of their shipwreck-the
boats were launched, and the remainder
OF the crew, eleven in number, embarked
IN them and put to seattle same night,
however they were enclosed by the ice.
and on the following day (the 24th) in
gale of wind, twoplanks Of the long-boats's
bows were stove in--the whole party then
took to the Jolly bOat--the gale soon after
abated, Jut the weather became extremely
cold. Cape st. George bore N. e. distant
six miles,
On the 25th of April, William Nayton
and Henry Tedhunter, apprentices, vii
liam Champion, seaman died with cold
on the 26th, John Durham, seaman, and
Thomas Chadman. carpenter-the 9th,
Joseph Atkinson seaman-the 2Sth John
Cameron, apprentice, and on the 2d of
May, Joseph Last, the mate, also.
On the Cd of May the Jolly boat was
hauled on the ice--on the 9Th the Island
of Cape Breton discovered--on the 9Th
the boat launched, and soon after the sur
vivors landed near Cape North and on the
18th arrived at the harbour of Sydney.
with the exception of Thomas NailstaF, of
Exeter, who died three days previous.

Lord G. CAvEsDISH, though he conceded in

THE CATS IN COUNCIL.


M. Cob6s:s-It appeared once upon time
that there had lived in the French country, .
great Rat, which soon became the terror of almost
all the world. Whereupon all the Tom Cats in
Europe met toge her in grand council and resolv.
ed to spend their last drop of blood in a war
against the great Rat Of France. Il so fell out.
however, that the great Rat was too powerful for
the AAIcSl Powers, during several years, till at
length the great Rat himself, having been burnt
out ofhis hole IN the city of Moscow, was con.
quered in his turn, and condemned to become an
exile in the Island of Elba. The High All. ed
Cats now mewed most gloriously, and resolved
once again TO assemble, in order for the last time
TO settle the affairs Of Europe, and to restore lher-
~ and happiness to a long afflicted world All
Che NJ &c in Europe were TO be divided info exact
numbers, and the extent Of territories was TO be
marked out by pencil and composites. The ike
70 this never before entered into the imagination
even OF man So much wisdom and Justice was
never before e1lribi, ed One would have thought
i was an assembly of Gods Each of their High
Mightnesses mewed forth in most pathetic
sn4nner, how much he had at heart whatever tend.
ed to the public veal But alas how soon the
glory OF this world fadeth away Sad 20 relate.
wien all things were nearly brought TO a most
happy conclusion, and when the great balance of
Europe was about TO be adjusted to the nicety OF
: Q hair behold out crspt the great Rat from h 5
rock IN the oceJn, and twirlng his tail about. it
scales Of the great balance that hung over Eu-
Sore; which scale then kicked the beam, and IN
= moment overturned the beautiful order of
things, so happily establshe for the tranquility,
of nations" And now how shall venture to
describe the astonishment of the August assem-
bly, It requires a masters hand and the poets
IRE. Each lllustr,ous member of the grand coun-
Gil, with Lightning in his eyes, reared up his an
cry tail in the atfrghted ar, and swore by all tie
gods at once, that he would never pare his claws.
aor ever shear his whlskers, until the best blood
Of the yreat Rat had copiously flowed, and he
was forever "lncapacitated from dong further
mischief" Ever since tn memorable event,
loud or es, and tremendous cat-cs,lls, have been
heard from the cold regions of the North TO the
warm shores Of the Mediterranean. What will
be the result, let no one presume 10 imagine
It IS sufficient for my ambition, that have lived
10 be the simple II storian OF these extraordinary
facts. Yours, &c.
