Foreign predictions During the days Of
party strife much ink was expended on this
subject TO little or no advantage. 1t may
therefore excite some surprize that we should
renew its discussion after that strife has in a
good measure Ceased-bm so obnoxious are
these predictions, and 50 often are we expo,
sed to the evils arising from them, that we
know not how TO fotego the privilege. 10
the estimation OF great mass OF mankind the
value of an article is estimated by the distance
of the place from which il is imported-and
as it regards articles which improve by age
this mode Of estimating their value, may in
part be correct-but upon what principle II
is rendered necessary that intelligence Of a
local nature, originating in and particularly
applicable 10 this section of the Common
wealth should be transmitted hundred miles

Al, who in this wide world would dwell,
When all we loy'd have bid farewell
when moss grown stone and turf attest,
Beneath in peace their relic rest.n
The thistle now hath rear'd its head
In the lone path we lov'd to tread
And near, the vase once Friendships token.
Lies IN the dust defac'd and broken.
And there the wither'd leafs flung,
That DER MS oft protecting hung
And scath'd the tree, around whose base
lihger'd, the loy'd name to trace.
And on the bough the harp hath slept,
cave when the wind its surface swept:
The hand that rested on its string.
i nerveless, cold and moulderiug.
That harp may not hear again
II hreathes wild unearthly strain
And rends the veil by Memory thrown
Ger bllghted hopes and pleasures flown. D

Some writer in the Boston Chronicle has
commenced once more series of nun,
bers upon the subject Of the Battle Of Bun
kers Hill, and the conduct of Gen. Put
nam. His object appears to be to show,
hat credit is not due TO the work of Major
SWEET on that event We should have sup
posed that Gen. Dearborn, and bis few
friends and supporters, would have aban-
doned the forlorn hope of dsproving evi
dence, dscrt ding history, contradctipg
experience, and running abreast Of fact, 10
endeavouring TO establish Putnam's coward
ice, or his own wonderful prowcss, on that
memorable occasion However, it seems
there is still one person remaining, either
Gen Dearborn, or some other, who Is not
satisfied. We hope he will proceed for,
probably, if there is still left single strag
gler who doubts respecting the fact OF Pun
nam's bravery, this last effort will satisfy
him. In the mean time, we take the llber-
ty 10 remind Gen. Dearborn, and his Wi
ter, ofthe remark ofthe Indlsn, when he
saw the lightning strike a ftehheridse
tree" Work auay, you haze found your
match once."-N. Y Adser.
The following is a summary statement
Of the information contsined in the Presi
dents Message, not previously before the
public.
Our Ministers at the courts of London
and Paris are now engaged, at london, in
negotiations with the British government
relative TO the general commerce, and ali
subjects of difference, between the two
counties; particularly impressment, fish
cries, and boundaries. 1t was agreed be-
fore entering on this negotiation to extend
the existing convention for term not less
than eight years.
Our relations with Spain rernain nearly
in the state in which they were al the close
of the last session of Congress. The con-
vention of 1902 providing for the adjust
ment of a certain portion OF the claims OF
our citizens has been ratified (; but no fur
Their setll ment has been made relative to
spolations, or boundaries. No cession
has been made of the Floridas, nor does the
message give any additional reason for ex
pecting that such cession will be made.
Relative to the South American states no
new information is given. Copie aof the
reports Of our commissioners are Is be laid
before Congress.
The receipts of the Treasury, during the
three first quarters ofthe year, have ex-
ceeded IL millions OF dollars. The amount
Of gross revenue which has accrued in the
same period is 81 100000, and it is esli
mated that the sum Of &c 100000 will &C.
crue during the year The increase OF
revenue has been equal to the increase OF
expenditure.
In addition, the message contains some

fence adopted by the government, and TO
