Ma EpIroR,
On the subject of forgery, alleged to
have been committed By Jesse Carter, the
editors of the HERALD have certainly not
written with their customary correctness.
II mas long been an established prinsipie,
as every person knows, that a man is not
considered guilty in the eye OF the law until
proved so by his peers. Is it not thereto
pre-judging the case OF Jesse Carter, what
ever may be his future fate, on trial. to say
that he has committed "a srime that will
not only destroy his own reputation but
the peace aud happiness OF bis family, as
well as entail Stigma on his posterity -
This is not only destroying the unhappy
mans reputation before trial-but assuming

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES..

Mr.. Randolph, Mr.. Baldwin, & Mr..
Smith of. N. q were appointed, in adj
dition to those already named, to be of
the Joint committee, On the Missouri
subject the first Of these to fill up the
number of the committee, and the two
last to supply the vacancies occasioned
by the resignation of Mr.. Livel more d
MIR. Gross of N. Y, who were excused
from serving ON the committee.
Mr.. Sergeant presented memorial
Of Richard W. Meade, citizen Of the
u. States, and formerly merchant
residing in Cadiz, in Spain, setting
forth the nature and extent of his de-
nands against the govern m'nt Of that
country, and praying that. in such act
or acts as may be passed for carrying
into effect the stipulations contained in
the Treaty concluded and signed be-
tween the U. States and Spain, on the
22d of February, 1919, and ratified,
and the ratifications exchanged on the
22d inst. provision may be made for
paying without deduction, his claims,
which have been liquidated and ac-
knowledged by the government of that
country, amounting to S401,l5a SO,
according to the obligation OF good
faith contracted by the United States
to Spain, under the express stipulations
of the treaty aforesaid; and the petit
ton was referred to the committee on
Foreign Affairs.
The engrossed bill to continue in
force the bill to establish Trading Hou-
ses with the Indian tribes, was read a
third time.
A motion was made by Mr.. Rankin
to recommit the bill to the committee
on Indian affairs with Instructions to
report bill for winding up the pre-
sent establishments on the lst day of
September next.
On this molten there took place a
debate, in which Messrs. Southland and
Walker opposed the motion, and
Mcssrs. Storrs, Tracy, and Floyd sup
ported it. The grounds en- which the
motion was opposed were of course the
utility of this establishment its value
as a means of civilizing, and at the
same time protecting the Indians, and
the necessity of its present continuance
for the purpose Of protecting the pub
lie property employed in it. The
grounds taken on the other side, were,
that the system vas no longer recon-
mended by the considerations which in
duced its first establishment that it
did not contribute to civilize the In
dians, but rather to keep them in the
hunter state, by holding out induce
mcn,s to them to preserve furs and
that abuses were practised at the pub
lie trading establishments, by cxacting
profits not authorized by law, and not
accounted for to the government.
The motion to rcCommit, as above,
was decided in the affirmative, BY a
majority of fifty votes.
And then the House adjourned.

Since the return OF his majesty to this ca
pital, there IS great activity in the different
branches Of the ministry; and it is affirmed
that the new council of state is engaged a.
gain in drafting prget for constitution.
As soon as this intelligence was circulated,
blessings were poured down on our sove-
reign, whose bene6cent sentiments never
have been doubted by Prussians; and the
particular situation Of affairs only, has pre-.
vented his manifesting to the world that his
requirements are not SO limited as SON per-
sons have supposed--and that if he has not
sooner acceded to the wishes of bis people,
it has not been owing to inclination or good
will 1.-THE mere rumor Of this intelligence
has filled the Prussians with JOY, what
will he their feelings when that bene6cent
projet shall be carried into effect? Then
the bonds of love which unite the king TO the
people will become indissoluble; bis throne
will be strengthened, and bis government
consolidated. which, agreeably to the illus
tration OF the present age, can be no other
than representative one. Notwithstanding
the obstacles that may be opposed to it by
the Anticipated notions of the 18th century,
and the resistance which may be offered by
the adherents of absolute power. [Conl.

For some time past, the most contradic-,
tory rumors have been in circulation Some
consider The war Of the Holy Alliance inc
vitable, not only against Naples, but as
natural consequence, against Spain and Por-
tuga.. Others affirm that the moderation,
and the remonstrances Of Great Britain and
France, which prefer conciliatory measures.
and the very experience ofthese states, may
yet prevent rupture; and it appears that
our government is Of this opinion. With re-
gard to what has been asserted relative TO
the disturbances in Poland, and the insub-
ordination OF the Russians, is totally with

Trieste, Dec. I.
The new negotiations which have been
set on foot at Constantinople by the United
States, for treaty of commerce, have pro-
duced here great sensation. This city, and
others Of Italy, are on the eve of being de-
prived of the lucrative business OF supply
ing the Americans with merchandise of the
Levant. 1t is generally believed that that
government will succeed in establishing d.

no fault can be found. Land equal in,
fertility to the Connecticut bottoms cal,

there is no necessity of half meadow-and

may be applied to the latter purpose.
There is suficiency of broken land,.
which, for many years, will remain un--

The productions Of this state are like
those Of the eastern states, with the add

in the prairies, where it is ready for thu
reception of the plough, or in wood land,
where clearing is necessary, as fancy die
tates. In the title to lands, there can be-
no question, as it is derived directly
from the United States. To mechanics
Of all kinds, l can only say, they would
