TOPICS OF THE AURORA.


The Philadelphia Aurora, Of The SOth
July, thus touches on the following to-
pics:
CONDUCT OF OUR CABINET TOWARDS SPAIN.
/. Can any one suppose that the .i1achs-
ausHan policy OF the cabinet at Washing
ton. has not been acceptable to the court
of Madrid or that the direct and indirect
hostilit, Of the American government a.
gainst the South Americans, has not been
duly appreciated and applaudcd by the
per6dious couucils of Ferdinand VII. p
The court of Madrid, though imbecile and
abandoned, is not so blind to the impor-
lance of the policy pursued By President
Monroe and young SeJanus; as to loose the
advantages derived from the arrangements
of Don Ouis, and the intrigues OF Mr.. Ba-
got, and the insolent menaces & inlrigues
of the Able Correa. There are men at
Madrid who are perfectly aware, that the
independence OF South America mus, have
been determined in six months, ii the inde-
pendent republic of North America, had
only acted with as much generosity and res
pect for the liberties of mankind as the
monarchy of France thirty years ago; the
soil of Mexico. and New Grenada, aud We
nezuela, would have been long since free
from The contamination Of royal cut threats,
had not the U. States, disregarding all SEN
timents of honor, and humanity, and JUS
tice, and character, struck fatal blow at
the independent cause, by anopen outrage
Of war under The most contemplate and
disgraceful pretexts. This transaction,
faithless as Roman or Punic per6dy, has
not indeed obtained the respect nor the es-
teen oil mankind-all discerning aRSs just
men IN Europe, speak Of those tr3 lions
with an indignant and abhorrent astonisb-
ment it has furnished The glory OF our mi
litary and naval triumphs, as the corruption
of the Roman Senate cast cloud over the
virtues Of Fabriciu, but the congeniality
OF the policy Of the American cabinet with
that OF the Spanish court, and the power
full division in favor of Spanish despotism
made by our yoang republic, assures US the
gratitude of the court OF Madrid, rather
than its hostility. Z.

one of this kind is near St. Louis.
On the Mississippi game is plenty; we
saw deer, turkeys. swan, geese and peli-
cans but have not found a new bird.
The scenery of the Ohio, and lower
paris of the Mississippi, present sameness
throughout, until you ascend as high as
Cape Guardian; it then becomes broken,
and in some places grand beyond any thing
have ever seen; long anG broken preci-
pices of limestone rock, of immense height
extend for miles along the river; some
with bare SUBMITS. and others capped with
bushes and trees. As you ascend higher,
the country gradually opens into prairies,
which continue up to st. Louis, which is
situated on an extensive prairie, extending
6 or miles back from the river.
sThe rise and fall of the Mississippi is
not so great as that Of the Ohio and some
other ofthe western rivers. The Ohio has
been known torise sixty three feet perpen-
dicular; ten il high for the Mississippi.
The foods of the Ohio become more
frequent as the country becomes cleared,
those of the Mississippi less. We have en-
ployed keel boat and manned her with
twenty men, to take our provisions and
presents, which enlaiges our party TO up

a. Mr.. Saltmarsh, of the house of Raw

lifax, England, preached, with great deal
of irony, in a warehouse in Philadelphia,
the subject OF domestic manufactures,
which caused the owner of the store to
show him piece of superGne cashmere of
English manufacture, which he called f.
merican, whereupon Mr.. Saltmarsh began
to abuse it, in every respect, both as to the
dyeing and weaving, saying that he could
see the .4mer,can feature in it He then
handed him piece of superine domestic
cashmere. made by VIM. Young, Son &

Mr.. S. that is something like-loek at the

comparison, and worth twice as much
which was the fact. Suffice to say, that
this pattern card fool was not undeceved
until a fsir opportunity offered to shame
him for his unblushipg efroptery that
which was presented to him as Eng lish be-
ing American manufacture and that pre-
sented as American being English manufac-

that some of them have found place in

nifty had attacked and destroyed part OF
the 5th regt. of infantry on its way from
Green Bay to Prairie du Chiene and St. Pc

kind, and equally without foundation. Mr..

FROM AFRICA,


Capt. Hollowell, of the brig Richard
recently arrived at this port from the coast
OF Africa, informs that he witnessed, while
at Snerra Leone, one Of those tornadoes 70
which the African coast is exposed for
nearly six months in the year. Their Vi.
oience and the frequency of their occur.
! renee, are determined by the state of The
atmosphere. Ten or twelve OF them are
generally experienced at Sierra Leone, in
the course ola year. The precursors and
characteristics of these tornadoes are wor-
thy OF philosophical investigation. The
sky is clear, a perfect calm has prevailed
Tor several hours--and the air becomes
oppressive when, suddenly, in the most
elevated region OF the atmosphere, appears,
as the Indication Of tornado, "a little, round,
white cloud-not exceeding FIVE or six feet
in diameter, aud which seems to be per-
fectly no!ioness: the air becomes gradu.
ally agitated and acquires a circular mo.
ticn-<the leaves and plants, with which
the land is always covered, raised by the
force Of the air several feet from their bed,
keep necessarily revolving around the same
spot, to The infinite diversion of the natives,
VINO amuse themselves with this rotatory
motion. The little cloud which portended
the approach of the tornado, having in
creased in size, inse nsibly desLends TO The
lower region OF the visible horizon. The
whirlwind now increases in violence, and
soon becomes terrific. Vessels are obliged
TO double their mooriHgs-they often part
their cables, and are driven foul OF each
other. Many negro hlts are swept away,
trees are torn up by the roots, e. wherever
these whirlwinds exert their full force, they
leave deplorable traces of their progress.
These terrible agents OF desolation, happi.
ly continue for only 81 OF, 80 minutes, and
terminate in heavy rain.

The latest Of Jane 18th, &c. 1919.
By unavoidable delays and the non-ope-
operation of parts ofthe steam engine, the
party were detained at the garrison, near
Pittsburgh. until the Sd Of May. They
proceeded from Pittsburgh under nation
al salute from the arsenal, which was re-
turned from the boats, and the cheers OF
the numerous spectators who bad assem-.
blei to see them depart. The inst night
they came to at Stubenyillt, the second
day passed Charlestown, Virginia, and hired
a salute, as is customary, at all towns oil
note on this river, and on the fourth day
stopped at Marietta toprocure wood. Here
they visited one Of the largest ancient for
ti6cations in the Western. country, it covers
upwards of sixty acres Of ground, has high
and regular built walls of entertainments,
with guarded gateways'on each side; both
within and without there are several large
mounds, some of which arc round and O.
theirs square. The largest OF the round
ones is 80 fee, in height, and surrounded
by ditch and bank.
They arrived at Cincinnati in four days
from the time of starting-but were only
rs hours in running 596 miles, with the
wind the whole distance ahead.
The party were detained week at Gin
cinnati on account OF the i'll health OF DIR.
Baldwin. While here they were passed
by the 9th and part. of the 5ih regiment, IN
ten large barges, with 90 oars each many
of the officers had their wives, and some
their sisters with them, all in excellent
spirits, altogether presenting very elegant
spectacle. A salute was fred on passing
the residence of Gen. Harrison, 20 miles
below Cincinnati, in compliment 10 Us past
services.
The party arrived at Louisville on the
ieth---here commence the Falls of the O.
hio. which continue rapid for 2 miles, the
water lowing for that distance over Hat

Shippingport is situated at the foot OF
the Rapids where the party remained Tour
days, and then proceeded TO Shawannee
town. This town was originally settled
by III Shawannee nation, but is now
wholly occupied by the whites; it is
badly situated, and requires little penet:a-
tion to say il will never thrive. The. par
ty were detained here two days in effectipg
some slight alterations and repairs in the
boat.
Some miles below this town there is a
range OF limestone rocks, fronting the river,
in precipice OF sixty feet perpendicular,
in which there is a large cave, noted for a
number of Mammoth bones found in it the
cave is one hundred and sixty feet deep,
and has beautiful arched front. Here the

And guides him onward mid the traekle"

When ocean sleeps in peaceful calm
While DER its breast thy peaceful gieam'

Lulls the rapt soul in fancy's pleaslAS
