MR.. .ADA.N,S' ADDRESS

Inc address delivered by Mr. John Quincy
Adams, on the fourth of July, upon reading
the Declaration of Independence, is the sub
Ject equally otunqualifed and excessive praise.
and OF severe and unsparing sarcasm and CEN
sure.-lt is not often that man placed as no

people, and & bid them mark him, and write
his speeches in their books.'' If he is So fort,,.
nate as to acquit himself well, (and to do so
where very much is anticipated is not always
easy,) II publick expectation is not disappoint
ed, still he is in danger as much from the
undlscrlminatins praise of incautious friends.
as from the censure of scrutinizipe enemies
Mr. Adams has encountered this double dan
ger; and ii ne escapes unprejudiced in fortune
or fame, he will disappoint many well-ground-
ed apprehensions.
Upon the merits Of his address we have
nothing to say. That we have not ioiaed in
the extravagant EXPLANATIONS of praise, is be-
cause we were not in extacy in perusine II
and because we are credulous enoush n bo-
heVe the assertions of better judges that it is
lar from meritins extraordinary praise. We
notice it, at this time, merely to remark that
1T has given occasion to Virginia politicians to
come out as the opposers of Mr.. Adams pre-
tensions to the Presidency. e'The finished
Oration," as it was termed in the National
Intelligencer, affords them fruitful theme,
and it is not at all improbable that the COM
mencement Of vigorous political warfare
against MIR. Adams, may, hereafter, be dated
from the publication of his much-talked-of
address.

Not little excitement has been occasioned.

dlsnter the remains of Major Andre, and to
remove them to England. discussion. some-
what irritating, has ensued in the New-York
ana Philadelphia papers, between those who.
yielding to their feelings as men, have spoken
iaVourably OF the design, and those who, con-
sulting, as they suppose, the honour of their
country, have denounced it as an outrage up-
on the feelings of the American people. ASH
not unusual in similar cases, there is, ON both
sides, much Improbable and, as it seems TO
us, mbecommg zeal. While on the one hand
there is laboured effort to re-excite the pub
hck sympathy for the fate of one, who. how

This interesting body of young men are now
IN Boston, where they have been received and
entertained with much form and parade. On
Saturday last two elegant standards were pre-
sented to them on behalf of the town. A battal-
ion of Light Infantry were under arms upon
the occasion. On Monday the Cadets were
reviewed by Gov Brooks.
The New-London Gazette makes the fol-
lowing remarks upon the subject of the cere-
monies in Boston,
=" We perceive, by the Boston papers,
that the Cadets, (young men who are
studying military science at West Pointl

and ceremony in that town as though
they were veteran corps of victorious
troops. There appears a remarkable
taste for an extreme of parade, i, that

CONCORD, (MAs.) AUGUST II.
WALDEN POND.

This pond, in the southerly part of
this town, has something singular, both
in its appearance and in the tradition
concerning it. 1t is said that the place
which now contains body of water was
once a high hill-that on this hill the
Indians assembled at certain seasons to
celebrate their religious festivals, and at
other times to burn and torture prison
ers taken in the wars with the early set
tiers of the country, 1t was on meet
ing of numerous chiefs and tribes for the
latter purpose that this celebrated hill
disappeared in the midst of their barba-
rous rejoicings, and sunk with all its say
age inhabitants upon it. And on account
of the remarkable depth of the water,
which has never been fathemed, it was
supposed to have continued to sink to
such an amazing depth, that the bottom
dropped out one day. Thus much for
traditon.-We do not vouch for the
truth Of the story; still there is enough
that is singular about this pond, TO war
rant stranger in going little distance
to view it. Its banks are very bold, and
decorated on all sides with evergreens
and other forest trees-its waters are
pure-no weeds or grass grow on its
borders, no stream runs into it, or issues
from it, and it is found to be highest in
the driest time. In this deep water
many pike and pickercl have been taxi
en-, weighing from one TO FIVE pounds
and il is confidently asserted, that others
have been seen which would probably
weigh from ten to twenty pounds this
sort never have been taken. [Ga-.
