their confidence 10 the justice Of their
cause, and 10 the favour OF Heaven, dared
to pronounce these United States free,

paragraph, 10 comment upon this splendid
Picture with critical minuteness. Most Of
our citizens, it is presumed, will embrace
the opportunity, before it is forwarded to
Washington, of examining and judging of
it for themselves. For himself, the writer
of this article will only say, that in design
and execution--in keeping, coiouring and
perspective--in its minuter touches, and
in its general effect, it is every way worthy
of the event which it records--of the pat,
ronage which has brought it into being,
aud of the artist whose patriotism has di-
rected the master efforts of his art, to the,
illustration of those great events, which
mark with the highest interest, the history
of our Reyolution.--GGsette.

The spirit of Emigration.-Onr shores
exhibit one of the most animated scenes
al bustling emigration we have ever wit
messed. The beach of the Monongaheia
has been for several days completely lined
with flat boats destined for the Illinois and
other districts below the falls Of Ohio.
a'he great body Of emigraats now are Of
i different kind from those which we have
been accustomed 10 see. in this place it
Is composed of English, who appear to
come fuH handed, as we term il. The
FACE for emigration from the land OF our
forefathers, appears to pervade the whole
Kingdom. We have lately conversed
with families, speaking all the dialects
from Liverpool to London, from the Tweed
10 the Lands End We anticipate the
most beneficial effects from this kind Of
population. The comforts and conven-
fences which they. carry with them, be-
speak them Of class who have been use
ful at home, and their ruddy, healthy
complexions, prove the total disnse OF
ardent spirits, that bane Of all our new
settlements. We suspect that we are In
debted to Mr.. Birkbeck's flattering repre-
sentation for this increase to our number
and standing.-Nay all their anticiPations
Be realized! May the deep forests OF the
west possess no gloom for them! and may
a le,,' years Of intrepid industry enable
them to EMO, shat was formerly the boast
sof the English yeo,Nanry, roast beef and
plumb pudding, undisturbsd either by the
frequent tax-gatherer, or ahe Drawing
orators of reform.

three silver table, and one tea spoon for
sale; said that his mother (who lives 10

examination at his own request, he stated
that he left Pumpton on the last Wednes-

that about halfa mile this side Of Newark
he met man about twenty years old,
short and stout made, light hair ; thatsai
man had bag containing the silver coffee

that he offered the coffee pot and also the
spoons to him for five dollars, which he
gave him, and took the coffee-pot and the
spoons that that man told him his name
