Letters from Madrid of 18th April
state that every thing continued tranquil

At Vienna, a new Congress of Sove-
reigns was talked Of, to be held in that
city, and to be attended by several soye-
reigns who were not present at Trop-
pau or Laybach.
Accounts from Trieste of 9TH April,
state that Sicily was still unreduced, and
that the Austrian Consul at Messina had
been forced to take down the imperial
arms from his house.
The Lisbon papers contain an account
of the proceedings of the Cortes, from
which it appears that they have liberat-
ed all prisoners confined for political of
fences up to the day of the installation
of the Cortes; cut down the enormous
church property of Portugal, and decreed
that any subject ofthe Crown of Portugal
who refuses to swear to the bases of the
constitution shall forfeit his right of citi-
zenship, and be forced to leave the king
dom.
1t is confidently stated at Leghorn that

He had cut of all communications with
Chill, with the exception that some for
eigners were allowed to pass and re-
pass. His supposed object was to CO.
operate with Ramirez, in reducing
Buenos Ayres; and, should they effect a
junction, no doubt was entertained of
their success. They both have very
strong party at Buenos Ayres, and their
most bitter enemies admit that Carrera,
for genuine patriotism and talents, has
not an equal in South-America.
O'Higgins, the Director of Chill, was
considered as the tool of Gen. San Mar
tin, and as their party had aIl.the arms
(and consequently the power) in the
country, the friends of Carrera were
forced to remain quiet. The last adj
vices from San Martin, stated that he
had retired 80 leagues from Lima but
the prevailing opinion was, that he
would ultimately accomplish his views,
either by force or intrigue.

Courts of Common Pleas.

The Act passed at the last session of the
Legislature, for abolishing the existing Courts
of Common Pleas, and establishing a single
Court, with like Jurisdiction, for the whole
Commonwealth, is to take effect after the
first day Of August next. Its operation was
deferred so long in order, we suppose, to
give the present Legislature an opportunity
to repeal it, (if such course Should be
thought expedient0 before it should take
effect. Many doubts as to the wisdom of the
new system have been expressed, and Com
mittee has been appointed in the House of
Representatives to consider the expediency
Of repeating the late Act. The Senate, how
ever, have refused to join in the appointment
of Committee /; and thus the subject is set
tied for the present. The new system is at
least to be tried-we hope it will not lightly
be abandoned. Even an imperfect system,
well established, is far preferable to frequent
change: The evils of change are certain-its
advantages, often doubtful.

FREE NEGRoEs.-The Corporation Of

FREE NEGROES.-The Corporation of
the City of Washington have recently passed
an ordinance prohibiting the residence, within
the city, of free negroes and mulattoes, ex-
cept upon certain conditions-conditions as
offensive and degrading to a freeman, as they
are. contrary to his rights. We desire to know
by what authority portion of the citizens of
the United States are to be debarred from the
exercise of their right freely to enter the capi-
tai city. Whence has the local government
of that city derived the monstrous power of
debating to any citizen of either of the States
the terms upon which he may reside within its
limits? The authority TO impose conditions,
implies the right wholly to exclude and the
right to e1Slade citizen of Massachusetts
from the Federal city, on account of the COLI
our of his skin, necessarily supposes a right to
do so on account of the colour of his hair, or
on any other preterlee. Our readers need not
be told that the assumption of such power is a
violation of the Constitution.
1t is impossible, we think, for the city of
Washington to maintain the ground it has taxi
en-. At any rate, opposition must be expect
ed; and it is not improbable that the great
subject Of the rights of coloured citizens will,
ere long, be brought before the Federal Judic-
larry.

/" Working on the Higkwags."

1t is somewhat remarkable that naendang the
roads, in this country, should be nearly synoni-
nous with making them impossible. People
who have journies to take, often hasten to ac-
complish them before the roads are repaired.n
There must be some radical error in this BUSH
ness Preparing the roads and we are inclin-
ed to think it consists in the system, generally
followed of allowing every man to acork out, as
the phrase is, his proportion of large amount
of taxes, and Of bestowing the whole labour at
once. AT an earlier period of our history, when
small population was equally dispersed over
large extent of territory, the system was nat
uraiy adopted, and advantageously carried on.
The laws on the subject were in conformity
with the habits of the people. But in the
the system ceases to exist. In this town, for
example, two thirds, if not more, of the high
way taxes are assessed upon individuals whose
situation or employments do not permit them
to work out their own taxes. Much of the la
bour, therefore, is done by men hired for the
purpose, who being allowed payment accord
ing to the time they are employed, are often
more solicitous to pass that time pleasantly,
than they are about the condition in which the
roads may be left. The consequence is, that
much which is done, is done in so incomplete
and slovenly manner that the last state Of the
road is 'corse than the first. Another unavoida-
BILE evil of this system is, that much greater
amount OF taxes is made necessary by it, than
the reparattOn of the roads would otherwise re-
quire.
So defective is the system and so great the
waste Of money by its operation, that some
portions of the community have abandoned it.
The people of Northampton, as we understand,
have, for several years, assessed and collected
money for repairing the highways, in the same
manner as they do monies for other municipal
purposes and have contracted with individuals
to keep the roads in good repair throughout the
gear. The advantages of this system were
soon apparent. Not only were the roads kept
constantly in good order, but the expense at
which this was effected, was less than hall THAT
incurred under the former system.
To show that this result is what may reason
ably be expected wherever the experiment
shall be tried, it may not be amiss to state that
two men, with cart and horse, employed
during eight months of the year, are sufficient
to keep in repair the whole Worcester Turn
pike, distance of thirty-six miles. This is
accomplished by repairing every defect as soon
as it occurs; thereby not only preserving the
road uniformly good during the whole season,
but saving yast expense which would be in
Cured every Spring, were the road repaired
only once during the year.

MELANCHOLY EVENT.

With extreme grief the proprietors of
the Gunpowder Mandatory at Chelms-
ford, have to announce 10 the pubhck,
that another explosion has taken place
at their establishment, which has costthe
lives of three worthy men. Their names
are John F. Gerald and Francis Farr, of
Fitchburg, in this State and Franklin
Howard, of Hillsboro', NH. Mr.. Gerald
has left wife and one child; the others
were minors, and had no families. The
explosion took place on Tuesday, at 7
O'Clock, P. M. The mortars had been
recently filled, and where the explosion
commenced, the pounding had that min
ute begun. The proprietors would, on
this occasion, scarcely mention their own
loss of property. The Stamping Mill
only was injured-and this owing to the
unmixed state of the composition, was
not destroyed The whole loss does not
exceed $3.50, and will cause but tenn
porary delay in their operations. The
accident is not attributable to want of at
tention in any one and the circumstan-
ces of this and the other explosion (only
six months ago) are such as to incline
the owners to believe that the spark
was elected by the compression of air
under falling pestle. The contemplate
ed plan of rebuilding, they confidently
hope, will prevent the recurrence of so
deporable a disaster.
