TO CORRESPONDENTS:

We have recently received several ar
ticles, of real merit in their way, rejecting
on certain late proceedings IN the House Of
Representatives, or rather, OH the OratO-
real exhibitions of some of its Members
Wehave not allowed ourselves to take the
Justice of these structures into consideration,
or we might have been induced to publish
them but, on the principle of general OK
clusion of such articles, we are obliged to
decline the publication of them. The fol-
lowing introduction to the most moderate of
these satires, will serve to shew their tenn
per and object, and to justify us in decli-
ming to admit them into our columns.

AS the great art of modern Oratory con-

most rare specimen of talking to no pur-
pose, which met with in an old Book that
believe is not in the Congressional Libra
ry. 1t may possibly afford some useful
hints to gentlemen who talk about every
thing but the subject they are debating up-
on, and who, instead of stopping when they
have nothing else to say, like good honest
fellows, 90 most incontincntly talk about
themselves, which very often is equivalent

ME TOPICS OF THE DAY.


The public have seen the documents re-
specting our affairs with Spain, and have
no doubt formed their opinion of the rner-
IFS Of the demands so modestly urged by
her Representative in this country. What
turn this controversy may ultimately take,
we know not, but the general impression
is, IN private circles, that it will end, as il
began, in smoke. IT otherwise, no appre-
hension is felt for the result
Meanwhile, we have rumors Of every hue
in respect to the movements OH that part
of our frontier, which is conterminous with
the Spanish Provinces Of Florida and Tex
as.
Il has been some days strongly rumored
that Florida is coded 10 Great Britain, and
that she has actually taken possession of
-. Augustine or Pensacola, ar both. OF
the latter part Of this rumor, we have no
confirmation, nor of the first part of il, ex-
cepting that which arises from concurrent
reports Of the same tenor from various
sources.
We hear again from tSe Spanish Minis
ter's letter, and rumors probably growing
out OF it, that the Envoy at New Orleans.
from the Spanish reyoited provinces, and
Toledo, with consi cradle means at their
disposal, were engaged in exertions To ga
thor together force of Americans on the
Western frontier, to aid the revolutionary
party. OF this, nothing is certain, but the

in that country. IL they are engaged II,

horTid act of suicide, by shooting himself
through the head. He had provided him

when he was found, were discharged; on
y one took effect. The BAH entered lust
back OF his left ear, and lodged in his head.
had continued so ever since. The shock
ing attempt was made in small family
burying ground in the suburbs of the city,
and on the grave of his father. There is
little prospect Of his recovery.
