From the New-York Advertiser, of April q. /
Yesterday, the fast-sailing packet ship
James Monroe, Capt Lee, arrived at this
port, in % days from Liverpool. By
this vessel we have received London pa
pers to Saturday evening, March 3Oth.
Disturbances and disquietudes still con-
tinued in France, in consequence ofwhich
the French funds had fallen.
The affairs of Russia and Turkey still
remained unsettled. Rumour stated in
London that the negotiations between
those powers had terminated unfayoura-
bly,; but the story was not credited by
the editor of the Courier, who adhered
to the opinion, that they would finally
be amicably adjusted.
The papers still speak of the contem-
plated marriage between the King of
England and the daughter of the King of
Denmark. The lady was born in 1893.
The specuIations respecting Turkey
and Russia in the various foreign Jour
mails, are so contradictory that they are
not worth detailing--each side /" paint

CONGRESS-.

1t appears from the debates as report
ed in the Washington Gazette, that a
private contract was made with the
government without being previously
advertised, as the law directs, to fur
niSh stone at what is called. the Rip
Raps, in which the chief clerk of the
War Department, but in the absence of
the Secretary, was interested and of
which he and Mr.. E. Mix, his brother
in-law, were to receive half the profits.
Gen. Cooke, who was chairman of a
committee appointed to examine Mix's
accounts, asserted on the floor that Mix,
before he was allowed TO. handle such
imme nse sums of the publick money,
Ia hundced thousand dollars at least,)
had not credit in New-Yo rk for. & 100.
This Mr.. Mix, says the Washington
Gazette, we are told has now spIen-
did establishment in Georgetown, and
with his carriage and plate outyies most
of his neighbours.
Mr.. Hardin, from the committee on
retrenchments, has made a report, ac-
companied by bill, reducing the com
pensation of the Senators, Representa-
tives and Delegates, to six dollars pr
day, and six dollars for every twenty
miles travel. Also for re lucing the
salaries Of the Clerks, Messengers, &c.
to the House. We confess, we think
this step quite questionable. Although
if the reductions to the full extent are
adopted, it will lessen the expenses of
the legislative department of the gov
eminent about one hundred thousand
dollars per annum. But from the in
vestigation which is going on in Con-
gress, under the directions of Gen.
Cooke, we anticipate the best results
Measures are taken to detect and ex-
pose the multitude of publick defauIters,
who have been SO long feeding and
fattening upon the vitals of the nation,
and who now, when the publick purse
is nearly exhausted, set up hue and
cry against the army and navy establish
ments, as useless expense to The peo-
pie, and demad the dismissal Of the

ccrrenc-s, ;la, The mind hardly knows
what to nod'lec al most.
France is in somewhat disturbed
condition. Much uneasiness exists both
IN the departments of government, and
among the people; and it requires all
the wisdom and all the firmness of the
most experienced and jnlieious states
men to keep the country calm, steady,
and contented. At the same time, if
there should be no war upon the East
ern borders of the continent, we do
not believe that the nation, restless and
frctiul as il is, will run the hazard of
another general revolution. The evils
and notifications Of the hast are too
fresh in their MEMORIES; and third
visit from the great Legitimates of the
NortAs might be productive Of much
heavier calamities than even both the
former.
We shall look for further Intelligence
from Europe with much anxiety; for
should there break out a general war in
that quarter of The world, the affairs of
this country can scarcely fah of being
affected by it.

will be recollected by some of our read
ers, was, in the summer of TIT, inhu-
manly murdered and scalped by party
OF British Indians, near Fort Edward /;
and her body, owing TO the perilous
state of the times, received a hasty and
informal burial in field, about thee
miles distant from the fort.
Last week her remains were dis;nter-
red by the young gentlemen of Fort Ed
ward, and its vicinity, for the humane
and praise-worthy purpose Of depositing
them in the pubfck cemetery and on
Tuesday last, pursuant to notice, not
withstanding the badness of the weather,
large and respectable concourse of
people assembled from this and the adj
joining counties, to attend her obsequies.
The family of Judge M.Crea, of Balls
ton, and other relatives of the deceased,
were present on this occasion.
Although forty-fve years have al
most elapsed since the remains of this
unfortunate girl were committed to her
mother earth, yet but few of the bones
were decomposed, and the traces of the
fatal tomahawk in the skull were still
visible.

The three bills above mentioned were
read second time and committed for to.
morrow.
The Earl Bathnrs. moved the second
reading of the Colonial ,rarde Bill, and
the American West India Trade Bill,
His Lordship observed, that an inter-
course had been for some time carried
on between our West India Colonies and
tho United States Of America in British
ships, the former exporting to the latter
sugar, rum, and certain enumerated arti-
Giles, and receiving in return lumber and
certain enumerated articles. This trade,
which was contrary to the original navi-
cation laws, it had been found necessary
to permit, and it had also been found ex-
pedient to allow free trade al Bermu-
da, Halifax, and St. Johns. In conse-
quence of the changes which had since
taken place, it was now deemed expedi-
ent to allow the trade between our Yves,
India Islands and the United States Of A
merica to be carried on in ships of the
United States, as well as in British ships
and to allow similar trade between our
West India Islands and other States on
the Continent of America. To protec,
our North American Colonies, it had
been deemed expedient to impose duty
on the articles imported into the Yves,
Indies from the United Statesmen q
prohibitory one, but merely sufficient tc
place the trade on an equal footing with
that from our North American Colonies.
Thetwo Bills moved by the Earl Ba.
hurst were read second time and com
mitted for tomorrow.

out about 8 or 10 dollars in change af-
ter which, turning to the boy, he said
that if he told of the transaction, or de-

locking the door on the outside, deposit
ing the key under the door, and delibe-

emaciated. To sit or stand put her in
