A bill was reported ia the House Of
Representatives Yesterday, the title Of
which IS "a bill to authorize the occupa-
ton O. ,l.e Columbia river" Yes, reader
you may believe it, for IL is true, that
bill is before Congress, and for aughs VIC
know, ought TO pass, for establishing a
Colony now to be, to be hereafter ter
ritory, at the mouth oil the Columbia riv-
er, about tory degrees OF longitude west
of Washington, and by waite. distant how
far we know NOT, but at ths least ten
thousand miles. The territory however
belongs ,o',he United States, and ne un-
ders,and that already our eastern breth.
rem resort there tor timber which they
transport to the Southern Provinces OF
America, where that article is scarce. 1t
will soon becone necessary, ieM.be not
now, to establish a post there; and it may
be well To anticipate those who may else
undertake to establish one for rs, seeing
that their attention is already turned in
that direction.
The first section Of the bill provides,
that the President OF the Uiited States
shall be authorized and required to oc.
cupy "that portion OF the territory of
the United States Oh the Waters OF the
Columbia river" and to eaingnish the
Indian lide to portion of 1t; that every
actual settler, being the head Of 4 family,
Shall he entitled 10 certain quantity Of
land, and every unmarried settler, or me-
chsnic, also, shall be allowed so many a.
cres, after a probation oi limited time.
When the population Of the senlsTeuT
amounts to Two Thousand souis, ai that
portion Of the tvfrltoIy o. tie In.ied
States, north OF the 42,l 4; gree Ct latitude
and west of the Rock Mountains, - to
constitute territory OF the Unised States
under the name Of the Territory Of Ori
gan. The bill then socs Oh 10 provide
how the said Territory is to be orsaniS.
Sd and administered.

Bank OF the United States published a
notice some months ago, that tney should
refuse payment Of see!, of Their notes as
.yhad Been CT, Tor the greater security Of
sending thsm in the mail, unless all the
parts were produced. After the irubli-
cation of TN, notice, the Bank refused
payment Of $500, which had been Tor
warded from Cincinnati to Philadelphia,
in two parcels, {the biHs having been cut
in the middle, one OF which parcels never
arrived. An action was argued at the
October term Of the u. S. Circuit Court
at Philadelphia, and Judgment has been
entered for the plaintiffs, for the FIJI! IL
mount of the notes. The opinion Of
Judge Washington, as reported. is clear
md strong against the Bank. Judge Pc

DOMESTIC MANUFACTURES.

In our columns to-day will be found an
advertise ment announcing the operation of
A woolIen mandatory on Sligo Creek, a
short distance from this city. The manu-
facturer, Mr.. benjamin. w. Didenhoyer
Is prepared to make good strong cassinetts
OF various prices and qualities, and SER
yiceable woollen cloths. We hope the
heads of families and store-keePers who
purchase these articles viii encourage bis
establishment, as the owner has been at
great expense and pains to accomplish bis
Object, and it is chiefly to this neighbor-
hood that he looks for remuneration. 1t IS
true several similar attempts on small
scale, within THIS district, have heretofore
failed, but This is no reason why they should
be discouraged: the consumption OF the
article Of cassinetts aIOne'' on the spot, is
sufficient 10 afford a fair profit to the ma
nnfacturer, at the Philade lphis or New
York prices, which will at least be sa-
wing OF the amount OF transportation to the
purchaser-and we believe Mr.. ID asks
mo more from the public than to give his
goods fair trial, to enable him success
fully TO perseyere in bis undertaking.

FROM THE BRAZILS.

By the brig Doris, captain Jas. Beard,
arrived at this port on Saturday in the re-
markably short passage of twenty-seven
days from St. Salvador, we have the fol-
lowing late intelligence from the BfaZils.
When captain B. sailed. markets for all
kinds Of American produce were dull.
The whole of Brazil had declared in ia
vor Of the Prince of Portugal, with the
exception of ST. Salvador, which was still
in possession OF the European Portuguese,
and garrsoned by $500 European troops
and about 1900 militia, favorable 10 the
European cause. The troops were con-
staptly employed in fortfying the city
All Brazilian soldiers within the city were
disarmed-many were deserving from the
European army. The head quarters OF the
F, azillian army, consisting of 10000 men,
were at Casuara, about forty miles distant.
Two days previous to the sailing of the
Doris, detachment of the Brazilian ar
my took possession of the island of Ia
parica, on the west side OF the bay of ALI
Ssints, within ten miles of St. Salvador.
The Governor at Arms (Madeira) imme-
diately dispatched 200 men with num-
Der OF launches and gunboats TO effect a
landing, and to dislodge them from the
fort on that island, they succeeded in
landing. but were soon driven back to
their vessels, with considerable loss. On
the same day several of the launches re-
turned with the wounded. The next day
reinforcement of a large Asmacha of 10
guns and l50 men was sent, whiLh was
equally unsuccessful. The Brazillians
were uEdaunted and fought like veterans,
ObligiDg the Europeans to retreat, leaving
then masters OF the island. Reports va
ried as to the number of killed and wound
ed.
The European squadron o. FIVE armed
merchant ships, two briggs and two ships,
sloops OF war, were cruising off the har-
Dor al st. Salvador. On the 2lst of Au-
gust one of the briggs returned to port with
loss of fore topmast and foremost sprung
reported they had fallen in with the
Princes squadron from Rio de Janeiro,
consisting OF one frigate of Al guns, one

shelving their respect for the 'sainted
hero and DESTROYS of having their
flags conseerated at his festival, repair
ed to the eathedr Il, and were received
IN front of the altar by the Bishop, and
a numerous train of attendant clergy.
The scene here was truly animating
the pews and aisles were literally
crowded, although the house is capable
of containing a great number OF Per-
sons. Captain Kennerly and Captain
Paul bearing the standards Of their re-
spective companies, entered the sanctu-
ary, and presented them to 2 of the
reverend gentlemen placed on the right
and left of the Bishop. Those gallant
colors were then unturled, and Bishop
Du Bourg, in an impressive and solemn
manner, proceeded to deliver an adj
dress.

where, instead of mirth and testivity, all
was gloom and sadness.
