United States, whose prosperity and exs
ample were tempting to the Canadians.
Controlling people oil foreign origin,
habits, and language, and who maintained
with rigor religion contrary tothe estab-
tishcd church, the British government
found it necessary to give to Canada
certain portion of additional rights, not
usually allowed in provinces, and the
famous Quebec bill, passed by parlia-
ment, guaranteed to them these priv
leges in pcrpetuity. They have pro-
sincial parliament, and the qualifications
of members and electors do not essen
tally differ from those of the United
States. The Legislative council, answer
ing to the character of our senate, is III
the hands Of the government, but the as
scmbly is controledby the people. There
is a majority Of this branch composed Of
illiterate and bigotted members, as would
naturally be expected from people,
who, like the generality of the Canadian
peasants, are ignorant and suspicious.
Many of the members cannot sign their
names
Prior to the late war, the British gov
comment sustained the military and civil
expense eff the colony at great cost;
but, when war was declared, the simple
and good natured Canadians, i'll spirit
of loyalty for the INDEPENDENCE of their
country against american tyrants, in or
der to shew their devotion to their gra-
oious king, voted supplies with great lib
crafty, and made appropriations for the
support Of the civil government. Hav-
ing thus unlocked their Golfers, and ex-
hibited their resources, and their capabil-
ity to sustain, by taxation, the expenses
of the colony, honest John Bull has con-
tinued to draw upon them until the Cana
dians begin to think, that, as war has ter
minated, so should their supplies and
that, in future, the English should main
tain themselves--and accordingly they
have stopped their appropriations, and
the duke has given them asound scolding,
in the true regal style. twill be always
thus in colonial governments jealousies,
disputes, and trouble will exist, and if the
colonists are sufficiently strong, they will
.endeayor to be independent. --.Nat. .Adv.

possession of his niece, incontrovertlbly
assert that DIR. Wilmot was the author
of the works in question. The absurdl-
ty of the claims of the adhcrents and
sticklers of Sir P. Francis, TO place him
in the chair of Juhius, is so palpable,
that wonder how any person who has
attentiyely read the letters of that author,
could for moment hesitate to pro-
nounce him one of the most unlikely
men to produce such writings, or to
whom such writings should be ascribed!
The Knight was only 22s years old when
the letters first appeared, and the Doctor
was 81 The pointed elegance and acu-
men of his nervous style had been TWEEN
ty years a subject of admiration at the
University; and he had long been to Mr..
Pitt and others what Dean Swift is re-
ported to have been to Harley, Earl of
Oxford. To me every sentence of the
celebrated letters portray their emana-
ton from comprehensive, deep, en-
lightened, and we'll maturcd mind--not
the mind of clerk of 80, when the flare
and frivolities ofyouth are often more at
tended to than the expansion of intellect;
and such have been told was really the
case of Sir p. Francis at that age
The limits ofmy paper will not allow
ne, at present, to cite extracts from the
letters of lord Chatham and his COL
leagues to the Doctor; but might do so,
and they would conyince-such chain
of unquestionable evidence l never be-
fore saw.
With an elegance of person the Doc
tor possessed the easy politeness Of a
courtier, and with the assistance ofhis in
triguing friend, Harry Beauclerk, he,
like the great lord Stair, when ambassa-
dor in France, turned appearance and
manners to advantage. On laying aside
the clerical costume, and assuming the
bag and sword, he was har .fneSse intro
duced by Beauclerk to the celebrated
Mrs. Abingdon, the then mistress Of
lord Shelburne; and through his intima-
cy with that lady, he acquired know
ledge of the private views and transac-
tons of lord S., that was useful to
him while before the public as Junius.
Icould recite what would fill a volume,
of the court transactions of those, and
later times, but find that have written
to the end of my paper. However you
may place the firmest alliance in what
have written from the proofs before me,
that DR.. Wilmot, and no other man on
earth, wrote " The Letters Of Junius."

FROM THE BOSTON IyrELLIGEycER.
DOMESTIC ECONOMIST.

The Accelerator, or Walking Expc-
dition, is a machine invented by Baron
Charles dc Drais, master of the woods
and forests of Grand Duke of Baden.
Its nature and properties are as follow.
LIST. That ON well maintained post
road it will travel up hill as fast as a
man can walk.
I'd On plain, even after heavy
rain, it will go six or seven miles an
hour.
Sd When roads are dry and firm it
runs on plain at the rate of eight miles
an hour.
4th On descent it equals horse at
full speed.
AS horse draws, in we'll constructed
carriage, both the carriage and its load
much easier than he could carry the load
on his back; SO man conducts, by
means of the Accelerator, his body ca
sier than if he had its whole weight to
support on his feet. A great portion OF
the muscular strength of man in walk
ing or running is cxertcd in sustaining
the weight of the body but on the Ac-
celerator the body being upheld, the
whole exertion is merely applied to the
propulsion of the machine forward. 1t
may be always directed on the best part
of the way, and on a hard road the rapid
lily of its movement, resembles that of an
expert skater; the principl of the two
motions are the same. In truth it runs
a considerable distance while the rider
is inactive, and with the same rapidity as
when the feet are in motion; and in a de-
scent it will beat the best horses in a
great distance, without being exposed to
the risk incidental to them-as it is guild
ed by the same gradual motion of the
fingers, and may instantly be stopped by
the feet.
The machine consists of two wheels,
one behind the other--conncctc By a

quence Of being captured with an in
surgent party in Mexico; have this
day received intelligence from Cadiz,
stating that Mr.. Robinson has been re-
leased from the castle for the present, by
the governor, upon his hato6ra de honor
parole of honor. What circumstance
has occasioned this act Of clemency on
the part of the viceroy elect of Bucnos
Ayres, am not informed-but to give
the ID his due, should consider such
an act Of condescension towards myself
under similar circumstances, as a piece
of very gentlemanly department, to say
the least of it--and | have no doubt that
Mr.. Il, would not feel himself insulted
if his excellcncy, as farther proof OF
his consideration, was to order him to
leave Cadiz and his maiesty's dominions,
Immediately.

SPANISH NEWS.

We have received from our Gibraltar
correspondent communication, of the
date of March 10, from which we have
made the subjoined extracts, of no less
interest than many paragraph which
has gone the round of publication in
these dry times:
The post from Cadiz this morning,
informs me of the terrible CONSERVATION
of the people there, in consequence Of
receiving intelligence of the capture of
the Spanish frigate Maria Isabel of a.
guns, with four transports having nearly
1000 troops on board, which sailed from
Cadiz for Lima about 8 months AGO
Our correspondent then gives the Span
ISL account of this disaster, which is
nearly the same as the one which has al
ready been published.
"My friend adds that the intelligence
is confirmed by the arrival of the Madrid
mail, and that the sensation it produced
in the metropolis was unexampled--it
was the greatest damper of all their dis
asters since the commencement of the
revolution. AT the time of the arrival of
this news in Cadiz, another expedition
for Lima of 1000 men, under convoy of
the San Telmo, 74,; Dian.ri "a, and
eight transports were ready to sail; but
the panic created by the loss of the first
division, was so great, that the proper
authority deemed it expedient to wait
the further orders of the king, after the
,oI,> oh La L.
known to him. In consequence, his
majesty has directed the expedition to be
delayed until the line of battle ships
Alexander LIST and San Fernando, and
the frigate Percuba, and more transports
can be got ready-and when that will
be, says my correspondent, Heaven only
knows.-The effect of this intelligence,
he further observes, will be a certain
detention of the grand expedition for
Buenos Ayres, for very long time, if
not total abandonment of it.
"For any public purpose you will
please to put this mournful tale in
dress more suitable to the solemn tligni-
ry of the subject, than have leisure to
give it-not forgetting the profound re-
spect which your duty as caterers of
good news, obliges you to observe to-
wards nation in peace and amity with
all the U. States Except Baltimore y
and what your christian charities should
cause you to feel for the misfortunes of
the august protector Of the inquisition,
sc. Meanwhile shall not be unmind.
full of my duty, in giving you further ac-
counts of the operations of this inteIli-
gence in Madrid and elsewhere, and
really expect that sI:..shall soon have
something to communicate which will
show in your paper somewhat in the
style of former times, when it was so
common for you to say, "We stop the
press to announce, &C."

rival of VIM. D. Robson, esq. at Cadiz

perch, on which a saddle is placed for
the scat. The front wheel is made to
turn on a pivot, and is guided by means
of curved lever or rudder, which comes
up to the hands the fore arms rest upon
a cushion in front, and in this position,
both hands holding the rudder firmly,
the machine and traveller are preserved
in equilibrio.
The traveller having inclined his body
a little forward, extended his elbows
little, and grasped the guide, must pre-
serve his balance by pressing lightly on
the side which appears to be rising.
The arms are as necessary to main
tain the balance of the machine, as the
hands are to the conducting of it. Place
the feet lightly on the ground, long but
very slow steps are to be taken in a right
line at first, lest the heels should come
in contact with the hind wheel. The
attempt to increase the motion of the
feet, or to keep them elevated whilst the
Accelerator is moving, is only to be
yentured after practice in the slow
movement shall have given dexterity.
The saddle may be made high or low &C
cording to the height of the traveller.
The impelling principles ofthe Drai-
sina* is not derived from the body of the
machine itself, but simply from resis-
lance operating externally-the resis-
lance of the feet upon the ground. The
body is supported without exertion upon
carriage which a slight impulse will
send forward-and the alternate motion
of the legs upon the earth gives the pow
er, so that velocity is obtained without
much expense of force.

#From the name of the inventor.

We understand that the Ve{ocihede,
Accelerator, or by whatever name they
please to call it, is now manufactured by
carriage maker in Baltimore, from a
model he has received from England.
The inquisitivc are in the habit of taking
an amble upon them. Its structure is
remarkable for its simplicity-one
wheel following another-the hinder one
higher than the front; and motion is
communicated by first applying one foot,
and then the other, to the ground. The
exertion on the part of the rider is said
to be inconsiderable.-An experienced
rider may go about eight miles an hour
on smooth, hard ground; and up hill, at
about the rate of three miles an hour
The Baltimore price for this amusing
hobby is about 35 dollars.-Co Compiler.
