Yours, respectfully,

Men whose minds are just capacious

of their childhood, and genius barely suf-
ficient to institute consequent puppy COM
PARSONS, may well be pardoned for want
of discerning that SMILES are not reason,
and pitied for the patry revenge of i'm
beetle vanity thus displayed. To this
class Philo seems to belong. The no.
nesty of his childhood, and the zvit Of his
age, appear to be formed on the same
liberal scale, since he has with the ut
most complacency lately given us spe-
cimen of both. Analyze his communi-
cation, and what is the amount?

Mr.. PRINTEn,

to treat Philo-Reporter with the respectful at

The troops ordered 10 bis stead are known
to be commanded by officers inimical 10
the new system, and partiAans Of freyie'
Campana. and the other devils incarnate
Of the fatal 10th Of March, who have yel
suffered nothing for their hellish barbara
ty, and for which the people cry aloud
10 Justice aud to vengeance. Even re
women of Cadiz swear they will deieud
the gates against the entrance Of the troops
destined to garrison il, and every day
placards appear in all the public places
instigating corresponding feeling IN all
classes. Rieso is surrounded when ne
appears in public, with The filial cry oil

own feelings, and those Of bis com-patri'
OTIS and soldiers, are in unison with the
peoples, nor does he think patriotism
forbids the course be has taken, though il
would appear to be 10 hostility 10 the sve-
reignly of the government. But the as
sassius of the 10th Of March yet live with
impupity. Cadiz cries aloud for protec-
ton: the Cortes has yet faI6lled none of
the engagements with the liberating army;
the orders Of the ministers Of war have
most suspicious feature Of counter-frvo-
lutionary project. and the army OF the Is
la, conscious Of their strength 10 the atEec-
lions Of the people, have dared to resist
the official mandate. A painful iuterreg
mum is thus created ID the affairs OF
Spain, and who will yield, the government
or Riego. is question Of difficult soIu-
lion.
G In Malaga similar feeling exists in
consequence Of an order for change OF
the garrison there, and the people threaten
10 interpose TO prevent lis execution. 10
this dilemma the minister OF war has re-
signed.
:" Although the monopoly Of tobacco is
sill declared to exist, there is no article
more publicly exposed for sale in this
place, aud the authorities find 1t impossi-
BILE to prevent it. 1t is one Of the many
melancholy proofs every day visible 10
Spain since The adoption Of the constitu-
lion, that the Interpretation given TO it by
Of the nation, is perfect Hber-
ty that is, the liberty Of every mans
doing as he pleasts. Out Of this anarchy,
it is too much feared the horrors of a
revolution are yet TO come. Be assured
il is very far from being complete. and
that Spain at this moment is as much IN
IN the enjoy ment Of the old system as the
new. Such is the depIorable state OF par
ties in this country. But little time
must determine.

CH1LLIcoraE, (Ohio,l Oct. Z.

Pigeons, in number exceeding all cal
culation, have for several weeks been col
lecled on the waters Of Sciota Brugl
Creek, few miles east of the Furnaces,
in Adams county. Their roost extends
over an acre Of ground about quarter Of
mile in length and breadth. To this
place they collect in the evening; and in
the morning they rise 10 a cloud, aud lit
orally darken the air. TO persons a mile
distant, their noise, when on the rcost,
seems 10 resemble the sound of a distant
waterfall. The trees and shrubs which
form their roost, are bent TO the ground
by their weight. They are destroying
the white-oak mast. which is abundant Ia
that district OF country, and fears are en-
tertained that the fields Of ripenipg corn
will not escape their ravages. Many of
them have been beaten down with sticks
and caught in the night. BY the surround
ing inhabitants.

Distressing Shipwrfck. "A gentleman
who arrived at this place yesterday from
Salmon river, gives the following account
of the loss Of the British schooner Asp, Of
For, George, Newark Captain Prossey,
from Newark bonnd to Kingston. At
day-break on Thursday morning last,
blowing gale from the N. w. vessel
was deserted in the Olfing from the mouth
of Salmon river. At eight o'clock she
had driven in on the bar, and appeared
to be a schooner with both masts along
side. A man was seen standing at her
night heads making some feeble signals
OF distress. We Immediately manned
boat from the river, and several attempts
were made 10 gain the wreck, but all in
vain, the sea breaking over her in the most
'rightfnl manner. At one O'Clock, the wind
having ID some measure ahated. we sue
ceeded 10 boarding the wreck, and brought
james Younss, seaman, and Miss Jane
Gibson, au Irish lady, passenger, the only
two survivors out Of eleven souls, who
left Fort George on Monday morning last.
The lady was found lashed to the wind
lass much bruised, and in a state Of 10.
sensbility. Youngs was apparently 10
state Of great exhaustion, kneeIing by the
hause hole, with turn Of cable around
his waist. He had finger broken on one
hand, and a thumb on the other, and was
otherwise much bruised. Youngs was q
seaman, IS years Of age. The lady was
returning from Qmeenston, u. C. TO Que.
bee, on her way 10 Ireland--a gold watch
which she carried 10 her bosom is the only
article she has saved, the cabin being
washed open and dead lights stove in by
the sea. All the passengers baggage is
supposed to have been lost. She states,
that she is "a years of age-ihat she had
been on visit 10 her brother at Queens
town, who died IN May last--that there
were several other passengers on board,
five Of whom, including a man. wife and
child, died in the cabin before the schr.
