Exhibition at Leicester .Academq

Erha6staon at Leicester .fcademy.
The annual exhibition, at this highly re.
spectacle literary Institution, was on Wednes.
day last. As this, until within few years,
has been the only incorporated Academy in
the County of Worcester, it is not only natural,
but highly proper, that the citizens of the
County should feel deep interest in its In
creasing reputation. This interest was never
more fully manifested than at the late exhibi-
ton; and better proof of its increasing repu-
tation could not be had, than was afforded by
the numerous and respectable number of gem
tlemen and ladies, who filled the meeting
house to overlooking, to witness the perform
ances of the students. Those who have been
in the habit, for many years, of attending these
annual exhibitions, say that it was the most
numerous and splendid assemblage ever wit
messed on a similar occasion; and it is but JUS
tice to the Instructor and Students we should
add, that the performances met with general
appreciation.
Although lndiscriminate praise or censure
are deserving of but little regard, it is, on the
other hand, invidious, and often dangerous. to
give to individuals, who excel in the perform
ance OF their parts, that praise to which they
are justly entitled. Such discrimination Il
is not our intention to make, nor is it thought
necessary. Those who heard the performance
es will judge for themselves, and to those who
did not, it is sufficient to observe, that some of
the pieces were spoken in a style of manly Or
atory, which would not have disgraced the
pulpit, the bar, or the forum.
We are happy to have it in our power to
state, that present appearances justify the ex-
pectation that this Academy will have and
maintain high rank among the academical
institutions of the Commonwealth. In Coun-
ty embracing so large an extent of TERRITORY.
and containing so great and respectable a pop-
ulation as does the County of Worcester it
should be the pride of its inhabitants that they
have well-endowed and well-conducted In
stitution, where their sons, intended for the
learned professions, may be correctly and thor
oughly taught those branches of knowledge me-
cessary to admittance into our colleges; where
those youths who desire it may obtain better
education than can be had in our common
schools; and where those also, of both sexes,
who wish to qualify themselves for instructors
IN such schools may receive that correct edu-
cation in which such instructors are too often
deficient.
Such were the objects of the founders Of
Leicester Academy; and the great number of
useful and eminent men, who there received
the first rudiments of their education, furnish
good evidence that it has answered the pur-
poses for which it was instituted AS it is ris-
ing in reputation and utility, it is hoped and
believed that the friends of literature general
ly, and particularly those in the County of
Worcester, will encourage it with equally jn-
creasing iberality and patronage.

Commodore Observation-Disclosures The
paragraph, which has appeared in most of the
papers, stating the complete vindication of
Commodore Barron's character as an officer
by the Court of Inquiry it seems there is
still some reason to doubt the extent of that
Vlndication. His friends admit that in the
opinion made up by the Court, favourable to
INN, there is an exception as to part of the
time he remained in Europe, during or soon
alter the late war, without making sufficient
efforts to reach home but they complain
OF this exception as equivocal, unwaranted
by the evidence, and apparently designed to
mJure him further in publick Estimation
Commodore B. having, as many of his coun-
trymen believe, suffered far too much in con.
sequence of the unfortunate saffair of the
Chesapeake" not little sympathy has been
excited for him by the foregoing statement of
has friends. In the mean time, not word on
the subject is heard from the government.

We alluded, last week, to the "declara-
tom of the Legislature of Missouri, by which
that State had obtained admission into the
Union; and noticed its ludicrous character.
Below is the material part of its preamble,
which serves to shew the value of the declara-
ton required from body which had no au-
thority to act on the subject-a body which
aVows that the declaration is not at all obliea-
tory on the people of Missouri. Surely if any
measure of the government can render it ride
ulous, such was the last act of Congress ON the
subject of Missouri.
VF" Forasmuch as such declaration will
neither restrain or enlarge, limit or extend the
operation of the Constitution of the United
states, or OF this State; but the said Constitu-
ton will remain, in all respects, as if the said
resolution had never passed, and the desired
declaration had never been made and because
such declaration will not diyest anv power. or
change the duties of any of the constituted au-
thorlties OF this State or of the United States,
nor impair the rights of the people of this State
OF impose any additional obligation upon
them-'

BUONAPARTE.

Ten years ago tina; man would have been
deemed lunatick who should have suggested
that the death of Napoleon could ever be of
no political moment. At that period the whole
continent of Europe, with the exception of
Spain, was subject to his power; and Spain
herself was engaged in what many supposed to
be hopeless struggle against him for her in
dependence. Austria had just been conquer
ed, and had received from her triumphant OPP
pressor the terms of peace within the walls of
her capital Russia, and the minor powers,
bad bowed submissively to the mandate which
forced them, like vassals, to accede to the
continental System.' The whole continent
groaned under the weight of one mans power.
But IN ten short years how wonderful the
change. That individual has died prisoner
and in exile; and three of the monarchs who
once wore their crowns out to subserve his
will, now exercise over Europe sway less
precarious, and, if possible, more absolute than
that of the proudest days of his power. The
throne of Caesar is PROSTATE, and its possessor
tenant OF tomb; but a triple throne has risen
IRON its ruins, and triumvirate controls the
destinles OF Europe. The successful struggle
OF Spain gave the impetus to the revolution
which restored these monarchs to their power.
and yet we now hear them reproaching her
with anarchical principles, and behold them
employing their immense power, to rivet more
hrmly the chains of those who have essaved to
follow the whole of her example. They once.
individually and collectively, crouched under
the arm OF Napoleon; yet we hear them now
justify themselves for their outrageous interfer-
ence Ill the affairs of other States. on the
ground of their continued and successful opbo-
sltIon to his power! They recently poured
their legions into France to overturn the throne
OF Ruler whose title they had by treaties re-
peatedly acknowledged yet we find them pro-
Claiming to the world their determination TO
prevent every innovation upon " things as then
are )" and accordingly, as if they dreaded the
wane OF the Turkish crescent, they discourage
and embarrass the Greeks in their efforts to
throw off their chains!
Such, at the decease of Napoleon, is the sit
uatlon OF Europe; and such the power and
conduct of those who but recently held their
thrones by the tenure of his will.-But Europe
may again arise in her strength, and other
military despots may, like Napoleon, survive
their power and glory.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

COME, let us sing of pleasure,
Of earth and vanity;
And | will learn to measure
Life's fleeing hours with thee,
By mirth, and song, and gladness,
And loves propitious smile;
And not sigh Of sadness
Shall swell our hearts the while.
Wen say the voice of sorrow
Shall meier assail our ears
That no returning morrow
Shall steep our eyes in tears.
Wen bid the sprightly numbers
OF pleasure charm our day,
And night, with balmy slumbers,
Shall steal our cares away.
But mark-o'er Pleasures bowers.
Though bright the morning smiles,
Though Youth hath sunny hours,
And visions to beguile;
Though Fancy she'd around us
Fair light DER hill and plain
Yet Destiny hath bound us
With adamantine chain.
lfyou've the heart to feelit,
A warm and gentle one
Unless you learn to steel it
Better than have dome
Your flowers shall soon be blighted,
Your summer sky o'ercast,
And you, like me, benighted.
Shall feel life's wintry blast.
Bright are the hopes that wither
On life's decaying stem:
They fall to earth-and thither
We soon must follow them.
Fen like the beasts that perish,
Would be our mortal lot,
But that the heart may cherish
A hope that fadeth not.

WHEREAS, there appeared


w in the Massachusetts Spy, of the Goth
OF June last, piece, under the head of Sla,r-
der" dated Templeton, June, 1921, with the,
signature of ARENAS Lee, containing sundry
mputations and insinuations, in the form Of
queries, calculated to mislead publick opinion.
(where the circumstances were not fully
known and understood,) relative to matter
between me and Nathaniel Jones, of Barre.
Esq. and to create an impression unfavourable
to the latter;-l do hereby certify and declare.
that the matter between me and said Jones
had been amicably settled, some time previous
to said publication, of which the said A. Lee
was knowing; and further declare, that the
lmputations on the character of said Jones are
without any foundation and that had no
pnvlty or concern, directly or indirectly, in
sad publication, other than the transmission
OF said Jones's certificate to said A. Lee and
much regret that any remarks accompanied
, the publication of said certificate.

exercised sovereignty, since 1920; that
they had repeatedly and formally ac-
knowledged the jurisdiction of the En-
glish government, and had by formal
grant, in 1926, transferred the whole
of their territory to the British crown.
1t was further contended, that during
the revolution, the Senecas were the
enemies of this country, and were con-
quered; that they acknowledged their
conquest and subsection by treaty of
peace, and by various treaties since.
In behalf of the prisoner, various
technical exceptions were made, and
particularly that the finding of the jury
in capital case was conclusive on the
Court, both as to the law and the fact.
That if it was to be opened, the counsel
contended that it would appear that the
Indian tribes in this country had always
been recognized and treated as indie
pendent by the Dutch and English Gov
ernours; that although the Senecas
were conquered during the revolution,
yet conquest did not necessarily imply
change of government, or of laws
that since the conquest, they had been
treated as independent, both by the
United States and this State; that if
jurisdiction was acquired over them by,
conquest, it was that of the United
States, and not of this State; and that
the United States had never coded it to
this State. 1t is impossible to state at
length all the grounds taken in behalf Of
the prisoner, but these are supposed the
most material. The discussion produced
very thorough examination of all the
laws, treaties, documents and pubIck
history, relating to, the Indians; and the
Court intimating that there was consid-
cradle difficulty in the question, allowed
the prisoner to be bailed in 1000 dol
lars, to appear at the next Court of
Oyer and Terminer of Erie county, and
took time to consider the case.
