BRITISH OPINIONS.

The following article from the Lon
don Times of October 9, has reference
toseveral statements which we're pub
lished in the American some time since
relative to the prosperous state of the
manufacturing interest in the United
States. The London Editor, notwith-
standing his professions of friendship
for this country, betrays considerable
alarm, lest the fabricks of Great Britain
should be rivalled successfully in the
American market, by the products of
domestic industry" Our infant man
ufactures, it is true, have struggled for
existence under various discourage
ments-the superior weight Of British
capital has pressed heavily upon them
but the crisis is past-and relying
on economy, improved skill. the pro.
lection of the governme and the favor
of the people, they have advanced to a
state OF permanent and healthful pros
perity. The unqualified assertion of
the London Editor, that the hands en-
ployed in our manufactures are emil
grants from England, we are willing
should pass for as much as it is worth {:
The American papers appear to COM
ment with much exultatiOn on an al
lodged improvement in tho domestick
manufactures of the United States
The cotton goods of Rhode Island are
said to be in extensive demand; in Phil
adelphis 1000 looms have been set GO
ing within six months, and there is as
serted to be prospect Of a still further
increase in those establishments We
are at al times grati6ed to hear of any
advancement in the prosperity of the
United States. 1t would rejoice US for
our own sakes even five did not feel
a disintsrested satisfaction in their vel
fare. Whether, at the Same time, all
things considered, the application of
their enterprise & industry to manufac-
lures may be the most likely method
of consulting the solid advantage of an
infant people, is question which = few

able the undertakers and their custom
srs to decide. Mr.. Jefferson, above Is
years ago, maintained with great ca
serness the capacity of North America
to manufacture tho requisites for her
own consumption. The plan was not
so much adopted by the people. as
forced upon them, during their last war
with England. The peace was followed
by the estructioa of their several COM
panies. The hands now engaged are
emigrants from this country. How
long their employment may continue,
and to what extent their schemes may
succeed, it is not easy to conjecture.--
Butwe are not very rash in pronounc-
ing that the superior weight Of British
capital must, for many years at least,
press heavily on the American msnufac-

, 1t extending over the WiloiS VI VIC ees''-
tory Of the United States, and OF course
only declares that it shall not be sus-
pended. except IN cases which certainly
did not exist here.
"3. Why was it deemed necessary,
in extending this wit to Louisiana, to
do it by an express act Of Congress'"
1t was extended to Louisiana by an
express act of Congress. But it had
been extended to il before without it
for the reasons stated in my answer to
your first question.
~ Why was there an express act of
congress authorizing the different Uni.
ted State courts to issue the writ OF
habeas corpus"
For the same reason individually for
which acts of congress were passed to
carry into effect all the other provis.
ions Of the constitution of the United
States. The law is passed. The rea-
son why is not matter of judicial en-
quiry. The duty of the judge is to
obey the law.
"5. In the authority given the Uni
ted States courts to Issue the habeas
corpus, are there not limits and restric-
tions-and what are they"
There are limits and restrictions
Those limits and restrictions OK
tend to every case which is not proper
ly cognizable before the courts of the
United States. If a man for insta nee,
is confined by state authority ever
which the courts of the United States
have no jurisdiction, the courts of the
United States are prohibited from in
terfsring. They will not neither inter
fere in cases originating in the legal
sentences of courts martial either in the
army or navy. But in every case Of
prisoners in goal, under or by color Of
the authority Of the United States, it is
not only the right but the duty of the
courts of the United States to issue the
writ,
! "6. Why were any restrictions i'm
posed on the U. States courts in their
use of the habeas corpus?"
To prevent, humbly presume, the
conflict of jurisdiction between the IN
dependent states courts, and the courts
of the United States.
SO. When Judge Fromentin issued
his habeas corpus, was it under the con-
stitution of the United States or under
the act of congress?"
1t was in virtue Of his commission,
which makes it his duty to execute his
office according to the constitution and
laws of the United States.
"8. Did Judge Fromentin issue the
writ as district or territorial Judge?
; This is answered by the answer to
the seventh question.
! "e. What acts of congress are inten-
| ded to the Floridas?"
All the acts and constitutional pro-
visions without which the protection
pledged by the treaty, and afforded by
the act Of congress for carrying the
treaty into effect, could not possibly be
extended.
+; have the honor to be,
Gentlemen, your most
Obedient humble servant,

JM4JOR ANDRE.

The following account of the disinter-
ring the remains of Major Andre, was
handed US by an eyewitness, accompa-
MED by his request to publish the same.
"Ths event took place at Tappan,
on Friday 10th inst. at p M. amidst a
considerable concourse of ladies and
gentlemen that assembled to witness
thisinteresting ceremony. The British
Colsul with several gentlemen, accom-
panied by the proprietor of the ground
and his labourer, commenced their OPP
ertions at IL O'Clock, by removing the
heap of loose stones that surrounded
and partly covered the grave. Great
caution was observed in taking up a
small peach-tree that was growing out
of the grave, as the Consul stated his in
tenti,n of sending it to his Majesty to
be paced in one of the Royal Gardens.
Considerable anxiety was felt lest the
cofn could not be found, as various ru-
nous existed of its having been remov-
ed many years ago. However, when at
the depth of three feet, the labourers
cane to it. The lid was broken in the
Genre, and had partly fallen in, but was
keJt up by resting on the scull. The
lidbeing raised, the skeleton of Andre
appeared entire bone to bone, each in
it place, without vestige of any other
part of his remains, save some of his
hair, which appeared in small tufts !;
and the only part of his dress was the
leather string which tied it.
s'As soon as the curiosity of the spec
tators was gratiied, a large circle was
formed, when Mr.. Eggleson, the under
taker, with his assistants, uncovered
the sarcophagus, into which the remains
were carefully removed. This superb
depository was made by Mr. Eggleson,
of Broadway, of mahogany, the PANELS
covered with rich crimson velvet, sur
rounded BY a gold bordering, the rings

MISSOURI.

Ihe President of the United States has issu-
ed has proclamation, declaring the admission
OF Missouri into the Union, in consequence of
her Legislatures passing g the solemn publicl
Act' required by Congress.
Never was there more ludircous /" solemn,
affair, than the whole of this business. Con-
gress required the Legislature of Missouri to
make, concerning the Constitution of that
state, declaration which, from the very ma
ture OF the case, could not but be entirely nu.
gatory, affecting nothing and promising moth.
ing. Accordingly the Legislature of Missouri,
with somewhat of an air of pleasantly. prep,is-
ing substantially that they have no authority
to alter the Constitution, and that, whatever
they may declare, it will remain IN fun force
IN every part as much as if the declaration
were not made; yet, as Congress have ode
slred'' it, they go on to declare that the OBJ
noxious clause in their Constitution shall never
be construed so as to contravene the Constitu-
ton of the United States And thus Missouri
becomes entitled tO,admssion into the Union .
What must the Missourians think of the col
iected wisdom of the nation, as evidenced by
that most lame and impotent conclusion'' of
winters discussion of their Constitution.

Inc temperance of this monster has af-

oetaece lr his existence to manifest their ex-
IRENE credulity. For several successive wears.
a host of witnesses, including many persons
whose individual testimony would be received
as satisfactory evidence on any other subject,
have testified to their observation of the Sea
Serpent at various times, and on different parts

edch other IN such manner and to such an
extent, as TO place the general fact testified of
beyond all reasonable doubt. And vet MANY

We recently met individuals from dis

conversation on this subject, they expressed

stated, however, the nature and the degree of

But, however great the accumulation of this
evidence, there are those who choose to give

ent with the fact proved they, doubtless,
highly enjoy their consciousness of superiour
wisdom.

Further particulars.

The dispatches brought by Capt.
Crokat, announcing the death of Buona-
parte, are dated St. Helena, May II.
That event took place on the 9Th of
May, at ten minutes before six in the
afternoon. The illness ofthe ex-Enpe-
rour lasted, in the whole, six weeks:
and its effects ON his frame, as described
by an officer who had frequent opportu-
mites of seeing him during that period,
were so powerful as nearly TO reduce
him to skeleton, and to obliterate all
traces of his former features. During
the latter part of his Illness he frequenf-
~ conversed with his medical attendants
on IFS nature, of which he seemed to be
perfectly aware He declared that if
was hereditary, and that bis father had
died OF the same disease. On examina-
tien after death, the stomach was found
in state of extreme liberation, SO that
it appeared in some places perforated in
large openings, His medical attendants
gave if as their decided opinion, in which
the physician who was called in coincid-
ed, that the disease was incurable, and that
the climate had had no effect in produc-
ing it. One trait of character display
ed itself in his last moments, which
marks the "ruling passion strong in
death" Ashe found his end approach,
he was habited, at his own Yequest, in
his uniform of Field Marshal, with the
boots and spurs, and placed on camp
bed, on which he was accustomed to
sleep when in health, and preferred to
every other. In this dress he is said to
have expired. 1t has been asserted
that the Heron, which brought the des
patches, also brought the body of Buona--
parte to England but this we under
stand is not the case His attendants
wished his body to be conveyed to Eu-
rope; but on opening his will, it was
found that he had left request that it
should be Inferred in the island, and
pointed out the spot in which he. wished
his remains to rest, in a beautiful valley
near to his residence. Though Buona-
parte is supposed to have suffered much.
his dissolution was so calm and serene.
that not sigh escaped him, or any init
nation to the by-standers that it was so
near. At the departure of the Heron
no day had been fixed for the funeral,
but it was understood that it would be
solemnized with the military honours
due to his rank.
A likeness of Buonaparte, after his
decease, was sketched by an English off,
Ger, and is brought to England. Count
Montholon, we hear, arrived by the
ship which brought the intelligence of
this event, and Immediately forwarded
it by an extraordinary courier to the
French ambassador. Numerous express
es left town yesterday morning, to an
nounce the death of Buonaparte TO the
different European courts. The news
will be conveyed from Calais to the
French capital by telegraph, where it
will probably be known in less than "a
hours after its arrival in London.
