FOR THE SPECTATOR.


foh he lhJOhs
Mn. W AaREN,
Yo,l have number Of customers who
appear 10 be fond of filling the columns
OF yourpaper with commentary remarks ;
but as l am not accustomed to writing in
any way, l shall endeavor to part with
what nave got to say in the gross.
Til: 5lluation of our country is truly
dsPloi able-parties rising up crying
10 here and 10 there 20 Will the men
whom we have selected from amongst
curse lives 10 serve us in the next general
assembly ofthis state, lay down that good
old garment, (public good,) and follow
after them? hope not.
Our present laws must needs undergo
arevisal OF a mostdeliberate nature. The
present mode Of taxation is certainly OPP
preslive; the road and oapias laws will
most certainly attract the particular at
attention O. Legislature. The stray law
needs no less attention than those t.bove
-leiitioned.
The division of Madison county, in all
probability, will be laid before the next
legislature. This | think should be
most coolly considered before acted on.
The citizens on the east are refusing to
be stricken off fran Madison county,
which would most certainly estrange
them to the common good of society
while those on the west are calling on
you to let them go--let them have a new
county on the west, which would greatly
injure the county of Madison. Will our
members join with those designing men
of Bond county, who for the sake of
having county seat on their own lands,
or at their own doors, would destroy Ma
Olson, the be st and most hourishing coun-
fy in the state of Illinois Or will they
act independently and wisely for their
constituents in this case? hope they
will.
l am awfully made to fear that party
ism has taken too grand hold OH the
minds of the citizens of Madison county,
for our members to steer clear of unjust
ccnsure but those gentlemen should
rid themselves of all party spirit and
prejudices, (should they be possessed of
any,) and turn their attention equally to
the good of those who voted against
them, as those who voted for them. This
lhold as orthodox principle.
The erection of courthouse and Jail
appears to be necessary but the mis-
chief is, whether it shall be on Tom,
Dick, or Harry's lands. Now will
tell you what think the correct way to
decide all this squabbling: Let the le-
gislature appoint, say five good freehold
ers, citizens of Madison county. Let
those FIVE men make choice of three,
five, or seven places, or as many more
as they may think fit; and then let donors
come forward with their donations. And
let those FIVE commissioners Judge whe-
Their this place and the donation offered
here; or whether that place and the gift
offered to the county there, is the most
advantageous to the citizens of Madison
county; and let their decision be law in
that case. CADET.

In Illinois and Missouri.

VENIIE subscribers have established a branch
Il of their office at this place, in the building
occupied by Col Stephenson, the receiver OF
public moneys, for the purpose ofpaying taxes
tor nonresident owners of. land in this state
and the territory OF Missouri having deeds
recorded and returned to the owners. Also
torthe purpose oftransacting any business with
the, general government of the United States,
such AS obtaining land warrants and patents
for soldiers of the late war !; land warrants fon
revolutionary soldiers; pension certificates foF
officers and soldiers of the revolutionary and
late war; halt-pay pensions for widows and
orphans OF officers and soldiers who were kill
cd inbattle, or died in the service ofthe United
states, during the late war; and finally, for
the transaction of any business where agents
may be useful in the prosecution If claims
against the government of the United States.
We will also attend to the collection OF
claims against individuals of this state, or tho
territory of Missouri, either personally, or by
placing them in the hands of eminent lawyers
for that purpose.
Our office at Washington will be conducted
by Mr.. VAN ZANDT, and at this place by Mr..

siy.l.y tethe business confded to them,
The lands in this state arc rated for taXatioD
in three different classes:
Those of the LIST class pay tag ofS3,20 per
quarter section
ID, do. $40 do.
Sd, do. $3.50 do.
And the law requires that they should be-
listed with the auditor Of public accounts, By
the owner or his agent, under oath, on or be-
fore the lst OF August, and the taxes paid to
the treasurer on or before the LIST day of Octo-
Der in each year. A failure to comply with
the law subjects the lands to triple tax, esti-
mated as Of the first class, and are liable to be
sold therefor. If sold for the taxes, the owner
may redeem them within two years next after
the day sale, by paving the amount of the tri-
pie tax, together with 100 per cent. and the
cost CT sale.
All moneys paid at our Office in Washington
for taxes, will be deposited in the T. s. Bank
at that place, to the credit of the treasurer Of
this state, and his receipt therefor immediately
sent to the owners of the land. All moneys
paid at our office here for the same purpose,
will be paid to to the treasurer in person by
Mr.. Rockwell, who will at the time of paving
over such money, obtain the necessary receipt
in the name Of each owner for the full dis
charge of his taxes.
Our charge for listing lands, paying the tax,
and performing all that is requisite to secure
the owner, is fifty cents on each quarter sec.
ton, which sum must accompany the amount
due the state for taxes.
All letters addressed to us, post paid, either
at Washington or this place, will receive DUN
prompt attention.

two attempts against ST. Ferdinand, a

IL is also added that desertiops have re-
duced their force to 1000 men, and that
adetachment, that quilted them en- n1asse,
spiked all the guns of the grand battery
before Ssnti Petri, and tied the artillery
men to their pieces. Two frigates arc
croizing of Santi Petri, to prevent their
receiving any Supplies. They had pre-
viousiy entertained the project Of captur-
ing the fort OF St. Sebastian, separated
from Cadiz by a TOAD which is passable
at low water. At Ronda. placards have
been distributed, inviting the troops to
join III the revolt, and containing the
most violent expressions against tie Gov
ernment, though at the same time the
Constitnlionalists of the Isle of Leon de-
nounce severe punishments against those
individuals, who, by their language, shall
insult the person of the king, or the cler-
gy. Dissentions are SAID to exist among
the Chiefs Of the revolted army, and a

this officer was the same who caused the
death of the l.fated General Salano, at
the time of the entry OF the French into
Spain it appears that he fell victim to
the popular fury by his audacity. 1t is
asserted (in the Madrid Gazette) that
during the night of the 24th ult. num-
ber OF individuals, headed by person
named Santiago had been actively en-
deayouring to excite commotion in the
town-of Csdiz: but they were pursued
by the troops and inhabitants, and mas

the public tranquility. Santiago was
publicly shot. Port St. Marys had been
taken possession of on the 23d uliimo,

The Spanish insurrection, according
TO the most recent and best authorised
accounts, still continues TO languish.
: Gen. F,eyre, who commands the royaI
troops, has removed from Seville, and
taken up his position close to the head
quarters OF the insurgents, of which, it
is said, they are expected to obtain pos.
session in the course of the present
montk The leader of the mutinous
soldiers has addressed a proclamation to
the army and the people, in which he
complains very Justly Of the tyranny and
ignorance Of the royal councils, and the
ahsurdity Of sacrificing more armies in
useless crusades against the South A
merican colonies; but, unfortunately, he
proposes no specific object in his insur-
rectlonary movements, and holds out no
prospect of any reform which he propos-
es to accomplish. This singular pro.
cedure, which gives to the whole rebel.
lion the appearance Of Mere military
nutny, h said to have disguised the
country, and detached many of his par
t'sans from the revolutionary banners
Letters and papers have been received
from Gibraltar to the 25,h ult. The
communication by land between that
place and Cadiz was suspended; but
some intelligence had been acquired at
the British fortress by boat, which had
just reached the bay from Cadiz. Ac-
cordipg to these, the Spanish authorities
expected by the end of the last br the
beginning OF the present month, all the
dssaffec,ed troops would have laid down
their arms, as the army under Generals
rreyre and O'Donnell was augmented
daily by fresh reinforcements and that,
therefore, the Insurgents in the Isla de
Leon. could have no prospect OF success
by opposing the Kings troops.
