LATEST FROM CARACAS.

A Caracas Gazette, OF the 9th of last
month, has been received in Washington,
which contains an Official despatch from
the governor Of Cumana, Don Thomas dc
Ceres, 10 General Morilln, dated The lst OF
November. He states, that, having INFER
copied the enemy's correspondence, he be-
came apprized OF bis plan to attack him by
sea and by land that he Immediately took
the necessary measures to defeat it, by CON.
centrating his forces at Caraico, the place
that was first to he attacked; that this was
executed with such celebrity that the revo-
lutionists were not informed oft, who COM
menced the attack on the 3lst October, with
1000 men, commanded by Marino, Monies,
and Cedeno; that they were soon routed,
and that, on one road only, by which they
fled, they counted loo men killed, and took
500 muskets. The account adds, that the
royal troops continued in pursuit Of the en-

TO the Public.

a \ unusual senSbilIty has been excited
IA in the minds OF our countrymrn by the
copper plate engraving of the Declaration
Of independence recently published, &C
companed by fac Smiles Of the signatures
oi those iIIustrious patriots who framed the
document by which our independence was
announced to the world. We feel, while
we dwell OH those signatures, as il We were
usbered into the immediate presence Of
characters so exalted, and we seem for a
time to participate in all the emotion which
they felt on Vie approach Of so awful cri-
sis-HostiIe armies, desolate fields, towns
and cities in onhagration-carnage and
death in its most frigbtiu forms appeared in
prophetic vision on The Une hand, and more
than all, the complicated horrors, ignominy
and slavery were presented for their aC-
ceptance on the other; they deliberated,
they paused, they trembled, and at last So
lemnly appealing TO the God Of battles,
they resolved that the United States were
and ought to be free, sovereign and indie
pendent. These llustrious patriots, with
five solitary exceptions, have now mingled
with the common mould-lhey survive only
in their country's glory and in the recolIec.
lion OF grateful people. But it would he
consoling to the present generation, sepa-
rated as they now are from those patriots,
by the intervention Of the tomb, to become
more intimately acquainted with their re-
evolutionary benefactors. We love TO dwell
on the features OF such men, snatched by
the pencil from the oblivion of the grave,
and emulate the prominent feats OF their
biography. Impressed with these ideas, the
subscriber proposes, II suitable encourage
ment is given, 10 publish the lives Of those
patriots in numbers, until the whole is COM
pleted. The work will be executed in a
Style not inferior TO any European produe-
tions, and the portraits by masters of ac-
knowledged merit. The biography will
be written by Paul Allen, esq. whose init.
macy with the several signers. whose fami.
liarity with the privations and hard,hips
they had to undergo, and whose we'll known
talents will be sufficient TO ensure the pa
tronage OF an enlightened people. In The
execution of this work, all that the pub
Usher dares 10 promise is, that ne will en-
deavor to deserve the confidence Of his
couhtrvmen, and that no exerlion on hi,
part will be wanting 10 prevent an abuse
of that confidence. He ventures TO solicit
The assistance VI tnose gentlemen IN pos
session o! authentic facts and anecdotes, by
communicating the intelligence that viii
serve to illustrate the characters and to en-.
rich the biography OF those founder, OF Ihe
American Republic.-Those who are in
possession of their portraits would enlarge
the obligation by Ioar Of The same.
AProspectus with the terms will be given
in few days.

COMMON scoLD."
On Tuesday last, in the city court, came
on the trial Of Mary Davis, indicted as a
common scold. The case being with us a
novel one, excited considerable attention,
and brought before the court as witnesses
several respectable ladies'. The evidence
given in by the ladies on the part Of the
prosecution. We understand, was delivered
10 style of elegance which drew forth the
undivided admiration OF crowded court.
The amount of The evidence against the de-
iendant went to prove that her turbulent
disposition was an annoyance 10 the neigh
borhood, and that her general conduct was
that of common scold. The evidence in
favor of the defendant delivered by a num-
Der of the immediate neighbors, placed her
character in light entirely different from
that sci forth in the indictment.
The jury retired about an Eur and an
half, and returned with verdict of guilty.
The punishment for " common scoid," a
greeably to the law is public ducking. We
understand that the counsel for the delen-
dapt has moved for a new trial.

MANS BEST DESIRE.
in reading of the news,
NV mind was much confus'd,
To think OF the follies Of mankind;
1t plainly seern'd to me
That man can never see,
Till God has enlightened his mind.
One undertook TO say
Tobacco was the way
To enjoy sweet contentmsnt OF mind
Another plead for snuff,
That it truly was the stuff,
Above all other remedies we find.
Another said that ale
Was never known to fail
In producing contentment Of mind;
Another said that gin,
Above every other thing,
Was the best of all remedies we find.
Another recommended sleep,
Quiet consciences TO keep,
When sorrows press hard on The mind:
Thus they've left for me to say
That they all have miss'd the way
Where alone sweet contentment wen
find.
What wish TO recommend,
Will answer in the end,
When all earthly eojoyments will tall
When we're sinking in deaths arms,
And the world has lost its charms,
Twill be safe guide thro' the vale.
IT'S RELIGION that mean,
In all ages the same,
To fallen, degenerate race;
II God you will seek
By repentance and faith,
He surely will give you disgrace.

Gle. No sooner said than done-a number
Of bags containing one thousand dollars
each, in sixpenny pieces and ten and twen-
ty cent pieces and other small change,
which would take at least week to count
were turned out. The gentleman united
two or three Of the bags, and finding them
all filled with this kind of precious metal,
thrust his hand into each bag, flledhis jack.

ing round TO the cashier cf the bank, in

A gentleman from Albany informs US that
real estate in that place has been very much
reduced in price by the Steam. Boat Navi-

formerly made Albany their place of busi-

each steamboat, and reacn there just in

its rapid Improvements in commerce, seems
to have become almost the only place Of
