WOODSTOCK, (vr MAY I5.,
MAPLE SUGAR.

The season for manufacturing this ar
ticie has passed, and our citizens have
improved it to great advantage. 1t has
been very favourable season, and a
greater quantity has been made this
spring than in any one season for many
preceding years. Not only greater
quantities have been made, but the quail
ity of the sugar, Judging by that we have
seen, is much better than that usually
offered for sale in our village. From
information we have received from in
telligent men in this town, we are led
to believe that the quantity made is
greater than is usually annually consum-
ed of all kinds Of sugar. We have learnt
from one Of our best farmers, that at
least four tons have been made in his
neighbourhood, not exceeding mile in
extent from him; and that another farm
er has made l8 ewt. from his own maple
orchard.

CINCINNATI. APRIL 90.


The Usage Mission Fdnilse-We do not
think our town has ever witnessed a
more affecting spectacle than was exhib-
tied on Thursday, at the departure Of
the Mission family who have spent sew
eral days with us on their way to the
Usage nation. This family is composed
of forty-one men, women and children,
and are provided with two large and
comfortable keel-boats. They go under
the auspices of the general government,
and are peculiarly fortunate in having
an invitation from the nation to whom
they are going to impart the arts of civ
ilized life and the light of the gospel.
On Thursday morning an immense con-
course of citizens assembled on the bank
of the river to witness their departure.
After those who had the pleasure of an
acquaintance with them during their
short stay had taken their leave and left
the boats, an appropriate address was
deliveredb by the Rev. Joshua L. Wilson,
urging the missionaries to be of good
cheer, and warning them of the danger
of relaxing in their zeal.--Affer which,
suitable hymn was sung by the cur
rounding crowd, and a pray addressed
to the throne of grace by the Rev. Mr..
Kemper. One of the gentlemen attach
to the mission returned thanks for the
kindness they had received in Cincinna-
ii; and as the boats were putting off
they raised farewell anthem, which
was calculated to render the scene doub-
ly affecting We do not recollect ever
to have Witnessed a spectacle more SOL
emn and impressive,
The collection made for the missiona-
ries in this city amounted TO 2l5 dollars
sc 1-2 cents.

esOn the goth of February we heard
that the Constitution of Portugal had
been declared by the people of Bahia.
All the vessels of war in the harbour
were making preparations to blockade
the harbours to- the northward of this
place. Don Pedro, the eldest son of
fhe King, was to go to Bahia hear the
grievances of the people, and promise
a redress Of grievances, such as would
conduce to the happiness of his loyal
subjects. On the 25th, the King issued
a proclamation, promising to appoint
several persons to settle the differences,
to alter such laws and regulations and,
in fine, would promise any thing. This
was soon followed by another, in which
the names of the persons were men
tioned-to man, they were the late
ministry and creatuBes>of the King
The people became exasperated, but
fearful of expressing their sentiments,
except to Americans and English-the
citizens not having confidence in the
soldiers. On the morning of the 9th,
the military assembled in the Cambo st.
Arms, in front of the theatre, pointing
two feld-pieces down each street lead
ing from the square,. This being ar
RAGGED, they sent for Prince Don Pedro,
who very soon repaired to the spot, when
they called on him to read the procla-
nation. He commenced with the last one
issuedby the King. They told him that
was not what they wanted They asked
for the Constitution of Portugal. He
told them he must consult his father
Time was gwen him to go to ST. Chris
topher, the country residence of the
King, nile and half from town. On
his arrival, he found the King in bed: he
walked him and told him the troops had
assembled and called for the Constitu-
ton. The King, in his fright, said, Give
them any thing they want. But Don
Pedro wished TO have proclamation
drawn up by the constitutional party,
and given him to sign, which he must
have done without reading. Having
got this, he returned to the square, and
thinking it best to become popular with
the military, exclaimed" Now my
brave soldiers, ] have got all we want

agent of the plaintiff, to be Carried from

quently taken charge of bundles and
small packages other than those which
belonged to the passengers and on the
part OF the defendants that they had given
the usual publick notice, that I" all bag
gage was at the risk of the owners. "
The Court held that the practice had
made the defendants common carriers,
and that the package in question did not
fall within the effect Of the notice they
had given.-It was not sufficiently com
prehensive, applying only tothe bag.
gage of passengers in the stage. Pack
ages of the larger kind, not belonging
to any passenger, were always entered
upon the aOay-biH, and the profits of car
rying them went to the Proprietors.-
Smaller packages, such as that which
contained the money in the present.
instance, were not entered upon the
way-bill, and the profits were consider
ed as the perquisite of the driver. 1t
was contended that under such circum-
stances, the proprietor was not liable
for the act of his driver The, plain
tiff introduced evidence to show that
the proprietor and driver were partners.
The Court held that the proprietor was
liable. whether the driver was his part.
ner or servant. In another count, the
defendants were charged with negli-
gence- The jury found fog the plain
tiff on both.
A part of the money contained in the
package, belonged to Messrs. J. s. E.
Dwight, of Springfield. An action was
brought for this in the county of Hamp-
den. In this case, which was tried last
week at Springfield, the jury found for
the plaintiffs only upon the count charg-
ing the defendants as common curriers'
The points are, therefore, reserved for
the consideration of the whole Court.

EUROPE.
No later intelligence has been received from.
Italy than that furnished TO ovc reader. last
week. We look, however, at present for noth.A
ing from the Italians but tame acquiescence
IN the designs of the Allied Sovereigns. The
NeapoiItans have set an example of early sub
mission which, there is little reason to doubt.
the Piedmontese have followed. Italy, then,
is again under the yoke, and to shake IL off
will now require ten-fold degree of strength
and energy.
In Spain, the Constitution is in operation
under circumstances of as much quiet as could
reasonably be expected. Itwouldbe altogeth-
CT unnatural to suppose that the various and
numerous classes of privileged persons would
submit contentedly, or even quietly, to sys-
tenn which deprves them of their privileges.
and confounds them with the rErass of citizens.
1t may be expected, too, that they have some
ground for believing the King to be very little
attached to Constitution which calls hin,
from his favOurite employment of embroiderins.
for the statues of saints, to participate in the
cares and responsibilities of government. We
ought not to be surprised, therefore, at the ex-
istence of plots having for their object the o.
verthrOw Of the new system. But the people
who first successfully resisted the power of Ma
poleon, will not easily be brought to yield the /
advantages they now possess.

her sailing from that port, the Spanish
brig Thirtieth of May, had arrived there

brought the positive information that
the insurrection in the kingdom of Mex

leader, Col. Yturvide, having solicited
and obtained pardon for his offence; that
two battalions of his troops had preyi-
