when he resolved upon lis profession. prepara-
tory knowledge Was generally deemed of little
Importance, except for the bar and palf,it. The

Melancholy occurrence. Three persons.
Elijah Haines, Reyile LOOMS, and John
Willober, were drowned near the New
York Tannery, in the town of Hunter,
on the morning Of the 18th inst. They.
with another person, attempted to cross
the mill-pond for the purpose of secur-
ing some property exposed to the fresh
ct which had been caused by the severe
rain of the morning. They had nearly
reached the opposite shore, and it is be-
lleved that continued exertion would
have preserved them; but sense of
the impending danger affected them so
powerfully that they ceased rowing, in
stantiy leaped overheard, and were car
rled over the dam. The fourth person
also threw himself into the water, and
was taken ont alive, although much
bruised. The bodies Of the persons
drowned had not been discovered when
the above account was sent ID US.

BY the Eliza, arrived on the 10Th inst.
from New Orleans, we learn that news
had reached New Orleans, that the Span
aards 1ocre driving the eQmcriiouns on. of
The Teas country, without (sciimina-
ton. This is highly probable, when
we consider the state OF revolution and
violent internal commotion, existing in
the Mexican Empire, by the last adyices
from that country. And thus, probably,
may terminate the extraordinary exper-
iment of colonizing under a monarchcal
sovereignty, with men both free and

At The journey from Rome to Naples is of
the highest interest. left the eternal city,
hast Friday (the l5th) and reached this place
last evening. The first day carried us over
tue plains round Rome, by the hill and lake of
Albanoto Velletr. The scenery, all the way,
is magnificent, and the ruins OF ancient editces
numerous. 10 scholar, who loves Virgil,
nothing Can be more interesting than this tract
of country: lis the scene OF the last books
olthe Eneid which the traveller has constants
ly within view, Velletr lies among the last
hills Of the chain, which comes from the west,
and commands magnificent prospect OF the
Pontine marshes and the mountains which set
bound to them. Those dismal and unwhole-
some marsh,s we crossed on the second day of
our journey. They are twenty-lour miles
long and the road, built over them at great
expense, runs in as straight a line as survey
or can draw. No Que can remain in safety in
the vicinity of the marshes: the whole is DESC
late and phinhabited, aud LETT to IA few herds

enough, for thera were once cities here. A
single hut, here and there, serves as an Inn /:

Horace speaks OF having slept there on his
journey to Brundusiuln; and this circum-
stance gives the spot interest. much
GREATER interest is inspired by remembering the
company of early Christians who came TO this
spot iron Rome, when they heard that Paul
was coming When the brethren heard Of
US, they cane to meet US as far as Appii Forum
and the Three faverns, whom when Paul
saw, he thanked God and took courage -ln

JONATHAN RUSSELL, Esq.
SIR-On arriving at Philadelphia on tire
9th of June, found letter from Messrs.
Carter & Prentiss, editors of the New-York
Statesman, dated the 23d, advising me that
the name Of the author of .Ariel, which APP
peared in that paper on the I4th, >bad been
denanded-and on my return to this city the
day following, those gentlemen put into my
hands your note to them of the 26ih.-With-
out entering into discussion, as to your right
to demand the name Of the author, | readily
comply with your wishes, and with becoming
frankness declare myself to have bten the
writer of the queries under the signature Of
Ariel, to which you allude.
inmaking this prompt and explicit avowal,
think it proper most emphatically to declare
that in publickly addressing those queries to
yon, was not actuated by any feelings of . ma
lignity'' towards either of the gentlemen who
composed the commission that negotiated the
treaty Of Ghent nor have |, as regards either
OF those gentlemen, any private resentments to
crafty, or personal injuries to avenge. My
sole object was the publick good, and that will
be attained, should the truth he ELECTED.
A respectful regard for publick opinion, and
desire to vindicate my conduct against the
severe and undeseryed imputation of S malig-
nifty and depravity,n with which you have
been pleased to characterize it, require of ME
to state, without reserve, the facts which
prompted me to the course have adopted,
most willingly submitting it to the unbiased
judgment OF jast, impartial, and enlightened
pubiick, TO decide how far there is 6 any shad-
ow of a foundation, " any plausible pretext,'
TO justify the suggestions which those queries
were intended to convey. |, therefore, de-
clare that while in London, subsequent to the
conclusion of the peace Which terminated the
late war between the United States and Great
Britain, ] received information, not derived
from the prevailing rumour of the day, but
from source III the highest degree respecta-
BILE, aud IN The Authenticity and veracity OF
which then had and now have The most en-
tire confidence, stating clearly, explicitly, and
auth reference TO n name, that one of the indi-
viduals who composed the American part of
the COMMISSION that negociated the treaty of
Client, did, contrary TO the sacred obligations
enjoyed by his high official character, and in
violation OF the trust and confidence reposed in
him by his country, with view to aid private
mercantile speculation, communicate to great
commercial house in London, important INTEL
ligence touching the actual progress and pros
poets OF the negotiations then pending, Sc &C.
1t is not, presume, requisite for your sails
faction or for the cause of publick Justice, that
! should be more explicit; nor can it be ex-
pected by you, that shall at present, commu-
nicate the names of the individuals to whose
testimony it may by possibility hereafter be-
come necessary to refer.
In few days shall return to Bennington,

dence.

Mount Pernon.--The National Intelligcncer
contains the following advertisement from
Judge Washington.
.Eotlce. The feelings of Mrs. Wash
Ington and myself have been so much
wounded by some late occurrences at
this place, that | am compelled TO give
this publlck notice, that permission will
NOT, in future, be granted to steamboat
parties TO enter the gardens, or to walk
over the grounds; nor will consent
that Mount Vernon, much less the lawn,
shall be the place at which eating, drink
ing, and dancing parties may assemble.
1t Is not my wish, by particular
statement of the Unpleasant circnmstan-
cesw which have led to this notice, to give
oiieuce to any person; but may be per-
mltted to state, generally, as INV opin-
ion, that stranger, who had accident
ally stopped here upon many of the oc-
casiohs alluded to, not knowing to whom
the alace had belonged, would hardly
have taken it for the residence q a pri-
vate gentleman. The respect owe to
the memory of my revered uncle, and
that which Claim for myself, forbid nv
longer submitting to similar indignities.
Respectable strangers and Others, be
their condition in life what it may, who
may be led by curiosity TO visit this
place, will, at all times, Sundays always
excepted, receive the same attentions
which have heretofore been uniformly
and cheerfully shown to such characters.
