WASHINGTON, APRIL s.

A mistake occurred yesterday il re!a-
lion 10 the survey made by General Rec
tor, which was of lands in the state of
Illinois, instead of the Territory Of Mi
chigan.
We omitted 10 state in the proceed
ings OF the day, that the object of the
amendment offered by Mr.. CooG to the
appropriation bill, on Thursday Lat, and
them egatived, was to appropriate $4,000
dollars to pay for surveys of the public
land IN the states of Illinois and Mis-
souri,, and the Territory of Arkansas,
which were made under the direction OF
William Rector, the Surveyor General
for those states and territory, beyond the
amount authorized to be surveyed, in
consequence OF a misiaterpreta,ion ofthe
instructions OF the Treasury Depart
ment. The grounds taken against max
ing the appropriation, were, that the sur
veys were unauthorized by law, and that
Congress was not bound to pay for it, and
that it had been represented that the sur
veying was not well done, and ought rot,
even II authorized by law, to be paid for.
Mr.. c. urged, at large, that an honest
mistake OF the officer onght not TO be
used to the prejudice of the honest la
borers who had surveyed the land under
contracts made with an officer acting in
the line ol,his duty, though BY an honest
error he exceeded tie amount OF appro-
prlation. Mr. Cook said, there WAS the
only legal evidence Of the manner IN
which the work had been done, in its
favor. The plats, he Understood, had
been returned and accepted; and mere
flying reports OF fraud should not over
rule regular and official evidence.

Waahingtoa CITY, March 7.
Witnessed on yesterday, most inie-
resting and satisfactory exhibition OF Mr.
Dey's nsaehine, for the hreaarat;on Of
Far ard HEMP in an Rnrottea STATE. |
tondly trust and believe, il will prove an
invaluable acquisition to TIE western
country, particularly Kentucky. The
objection to oar hemp is the injury it
susiains from dew rottibg. | have felt
much soicijude on this. subject, ana have
availed myself of repeated opportunities
of conversing with the Secretary and
Commissioners Of the Navy, to induce
them, if possible, ITO adopt the general
use of orr Hemp, for the naval purposes
OF the United States. They have uni
iormly evinced national feelings on this
subject, and asowcd their determination
to encourage the growth Of American
Hemp SO far as their agency cxtends,
provided a sufficient quantity of yarns
made of wa,er-rotted hemp could be
obtained if this machine however sue
ceeds, the only objection will be renew
ed, and tun scope will nnques ionahly :
afforded, for the practical display o.
those patriotic professions. l have ch-
d:ayored to impress on the mind Of NJ.
Dey himself. the great interest which he
ought to feel in testing the efficacy Of
his machine in our particular section ol
the west, and l take great pleasure ii
informing my constituents, that l have
received an assurance from him, that
machine is now in preparation, which he
intends during the present spring, or
summer, to exhibit in Lexington or il
vicinity not in miniature, but by the APP
plcation of horse power, so as fully to
establish its utility Oh an extensive scale.

TO THE EDITOR.

Gentlemen: have just seen in the
Edwardsville Spectator of the l2th Q!
March, a report of the debate upon Mr..
Cnok's resolution, copied from the Bos-
ton Daily Advertiser. Not being a
subscriber to the Advertiser, I did not,
astil this moment, know thai it had been
attempted TO give to the public the re-
marks made by me in the course Of that
debate. | take occasion to say, that the
report is exceedingly incorrect. Ii at
tr,bues to me zotat I did nor say, and
rnch ofwhat I did say has been omitted.
II Is my duty to point out an inaccuracy
which IS more prominent than the rest.
The words of the report are j." Now, il
the gentleman wants evidence of this,
It already appears in the letter of the Sc
cretary, although it is further stated in tn
same letter that he had received no com
pensa,ion." | did not say, either in
point of TACT or according to the report
OF the Secretary, that Mr.. Thomas had
received no compensation /; on the con-
trary, l admitted that he had examined
the Land Offices, and that he had been
paid for this service: and insisted, that,
If it were the object of the mover to OBJ
tain information otthese facts, the resolu-
ton was supererogatory, because the
facts themselves were already in the
possession of the House. i declared,
however, that if the resolution were so
modified as to make it respectful in its
terms and pfraseology to the Depa-t-
Ment to- which il was addressed, |
should vote for its adoption, lest it
might be imagined that desired to s,,fle
she proposed inquiry, than which no.
thing could he farther from my wishes.

WASHINGTON, MARCH 90.

The question respecting, the acknow-
ledgnent OF The independence OF the ma
tons of South America, has been deter
mined IN the affirmative in the House of
Representatives by vote of unprcce-
denied unani'nity. We do not know
that the same unanimity will be found in
the Senate, but there is no doubt that The
vote in that body will be decisiyely favor
able to the measure.
We rejoice that, in this case, the
earnest recommendation Of the Presi-
dent, understood to be with the unani-
NOUS assent of his official councillors,
has been sustained by vote in the popu-
lar branch Of the Legislature, so nearly
unanimous, as to be almost withouta dis
senting voice. The aspect of a govern
ment thus identified with the people of
the nation, in support of the cause OF
freedom, is delightful to the patriot and
philanthropist, as it must be imposing in
the eyes Of the foreign world.
Let it not be supposed we would cas-,
censure on the individual who on this
occasion voted singly in the negative
i'Fsr be the thought from us. Not agree
ing with him in opinion, we yet feel our
selves bound to respect the firmness and
independence which enabled him to give
euch vote in opposition to the general

THE PIRATE LOVER,


Thou hast gone from thy lover,
Thou lord of the sea
The Illusion is over,
That bound me 10 thee;
| cannot regret thee,
Though dearest thou vert,
Nor canI forget thee,
Thou lord of my heart!
l lov'd thee too deeply,
To hate thee and live
l am blind 10 the brightest,
My country can give +;
But | cannot behold thee
In plumber and gore,
And thy Minna can fold thee
In loEdncss no more.
Gar over the billow
Thy black vessel rides,
The wave is thy pillow,
Thy pathway the tides &;
Thy cannon are pointed,
The red flag on nigh,
Thy crew are undaunted,
But yet thou must die.
/ thought thou vert brave,
AS the sea-kings of old;
But thy heart is slave,
And vassal to gold
My faith can be pllghtcd
To none but the free;
Thy low heart has blighled
My fond hopes in thee.
l will not upbraid thee
| leave thee to bear
The shame, thou hast made thee,
Its danger and care !;
AS thy banner is streaming,
Far. over the sea,
. my fond heart is dreaming,
And breaking for thee.
My heart thou hast broken,
Thou lord OF The wave!
Thou hast left me token
To rest in my grave
Though false. mean and cruel,
Thou still must be dear,
And thy name, like a jewel,
Be TREASURED up here.
