Mem pnblicaiions.--We perceive by
one OF our late London papers, that full
and correct account Of the military &C.
currences of the late war between Great
Britain and this country, is committed to-
The press in London, by William James
the same gentleman who favoured us, no!
long since, with what he was pleased TO
term full and correct account of the ma.
val occurrences between the British and
American navy. 1t is to be published 10
two volumes 5vo. with an appendix and
plates, price 3Os. sterling CSC 66D in
boards 1t is 10 be hoped his pen has
been guided by little more truth and
caudour than is apparent in his book on
naval occurrences.
Another work is in the press at Lou.
don, and win speedily be published, en-.
titled description of the sights, or 10.
struments for pointing guns, proposed by
Maj. Gen. Sir w. Congreve, for The
use of the British navy, or heavy ord.
nance in battery, with instructions for
using and adjusting them; and short &C.
count of improvements in manufacturing
gunpowder.
Broken Bdnks.--A correspondent at
GAINESVILLE, (ohio,) has sent us the follow
ing list of Banks which have failed in that
state:
German Bank of Wooster,

August 10.
The Surveyor of the port was Oh
Thursday last tried before the Criminal
Court OF the city, upon au indictment for
having resisted constable in the exercise
OF his duty, in executing warrant from
Justice Of the Peace, to search the
Custom house for negro wench detained
there under seizure for violation of the
slave laws, which warrant vas for the
purpose of delivering her to the claimant.
The fact Of resistance was frankly and
uneqaivocally acknowledged, and the cir.
cumstances attending it were more than
proved by the constable. However, after
full argument of the case, and very
judicious and appropriate charge from
the bench, the jury retired, and imme-
diately returned with a verdict of Not
Gully.
From this we perceive that the persons
who have so madly raised the late Glamour
as we'll as persecution against the Custom.
house officers, have not succeeded in Sc
ducing the people entirely from their
senses; and engaging them in an indis-
Greet contest, the termination of which
might be beyond the calculation Of the
profoundest politician.
is hoped now that returning justice
will lift aloft her scale y and every re-
bellious spirit be taught, by an emphatic
lesson, TO obey as good citizen and an
American ought to do, the saprene lars Of
the land.
