NEW ORLEANS, December LITTLE news
which was circulating on Saturday last, stating
that the les pirates who had been taken by
the French men of war on the Martinique sta
ton, and delivered to the Hornet, had arrived
IN the river, has turned out to he unfounded.
But the brig privatcer Centinela, under the
independent flag, taken by the Hornet, is ac-
tually at the Balize. They say thai brig
mounted 10 guns, and 100 men, and had no
papers. She is the same privateer that cap
tured the French slave brig la Pensee, which
has been re-captured by the Hornet, and is
now moored opposite the CITY.
WANTS CONFIRMATION.
December GA Spanard from Texas,
who recently arrived ut Natchitoches, reports
that the We'll known Gen. Long, with thirty
or forty companions, lately went to I.abadie
and represented themselves as party of Aus
TINS men who had come to settle upon his
grant, that they were well received by the
Spaniards, and treated with great civi!ity and
kindness but that after a few days, they took
torcihle possession of the town, and levied
heavy contributions on the inhabitants. He
adds, however, that their triumph was short.
Some troops arrived from st. Antonio before
the iaaraudcrs had commenced their retreat,
who made them all prisoners, and marched
them IN chains to the interior. Such is the
story, rs we have received it in letter from
Natchitoches, and we give it TO our readers
| Tor Iast as much rs it is worth.

A .Catamoint, or Cat on The Green Mountains
MONrPELIEH, (Vt) Jan. An animal of
the cat species, of enormous size and strength,
was killed on Saturday, Dec. 90, 10 Roxbury,
about fifteen miles from this place. 1t had
been pursued by five gentlemen of that town,
under the expectation Of overtaking bear.
The party, armed with three muskets five
balls, broken pieces Of chain, and some buck
shot, accompanied with three faithful dogs,
pursued the track about six miles, when they
overlook the dogs at the foot Of a tree, upon
limb of which,about 10 feet from the ground,
sat most fFightful and ferocious animal, with
the name and nature Of which, not one in the
party was acquainted. a short consultation
was held-twO armed themselves with clubs.
while the remainder handled the inuskets,
firmly resolved on " victUry or death ~ Five
shots were fred--expendiog the balls, and
five links Of chain--with no other effect than
TO wound and irritare the highmnded aud ter

THE CANAL.

We adyerted, short time since, to the
common topick of conversation-the proposed
Canal from this town to Providence-and hint
ed at the advantages likely to result from its
accomplishment. We could not but b,, aware
that proposition of this nature would excite
unpleasant reflections in some parts of the
State--eren in those which would be essen
TALLY benefited by the Canal---much more in
that whose exclusive interests would be oppo-
sed to it. II is natural desiSe with all the
citizens Of theState that the interests OF every
portion Of it should be promoted by whatever
may be done to advance the prosperity of any
particular part This feeling pervades this
County as much as any other. Its citizens,
generally earnestly desire the prosperity Of the
metropolis, being well aware how intimately
connected with it IS the prosperity of the
State. They are bound to it by early associ-
ations, by habit, by feeling; nor do they, as a
body, entertain those jealousies and that dis
trust which direct the views of those who
would willingly retard its prosperity, and out
law its citizens. 1t has, therefore, been here
the cause of often-expressed regret that
water communication with Boston was not east
iy Gf at ally practicable. Near, comparatively,
as we are to that city, the transportation Of
the produce of the soil and of manufactures.
and Of the heavy articles which the wants Of
the country require in return, is effected at an
immense expense. We have no data from
which to ascertain the average number of tons
thus transported. The small town Of Leices-
ter, however, we are told, requires, for its mar
uiacture of Cards, alone, I've transportation Of
i've or six tons, each week, at an expense Of
fifty or sixty dollars. Here, then, with canal
navigation from this town, there would be an
nually saved to Leicester in the transportation
Of cards Only, nearly, if moi quite, the sum Of
;wo thousand dollars. Ascending from this
through all the higher and more complicated,

Rapresentqtirss.-Th annual election of
Representatives. to the General Court was
held in this town on Monday last. A molten
to send three (the full number) was opposed,
principally from an apprehension that three
suitable persons would not be selected by the
majority. The motion, however, ultimately
prevailed by small vote. Upon the first bal
lotins, Abraham Lincoln and William Eaton,
Esqrs.were elected--very few votes having teen
cast ag.i inst them. Of the Third, however, there
was no choice. The candidateioppOSed to the
regular caucus-nomination was Hon. Lepi Lin
coin, who, upon the second ballot, was elected
by large majority. Party considerations
were entirely laid aside; and there would
have been very little opposition to the choice
of three Representatives, had the dominant
party shewn disposition to elect man, for
tie third, whose experience and talents would,
in any emergency, be of service to the town.
The result has shown THAT the dictason Of
Caucus must be reasonable in order to be tole-
rated.

the county.
1t Is not strange, then. that the want of a
water communication to Boston should occa-
sion much regret; nor Is it at all mere strange
that people should begin seriously to direct
their attention TO that channel of conEmunica-
ton with the ocean, which has been marked
out to US by the hand of nature. Our streams
run directly, and with trifing distinctions, to
Providence, and through country where
canal may be easily cut. Without pretending
to any science on this suhject-judging merely
from the appearance of the country-we should
deem it no extravagant assertion to say that
the first six miles Of canal, from this town to
Providence, might be made at very little, if any,
greater expense than that at which was COM
pleted an equal length CT the Worcester and
Boston Turnpike.
Since, then, the wants of the country re-
quire canal navigation, there seems to be no
adequate expedent out the opening of ca
nal to Providence. That it will be done at
some period, is hardly questioned: that it may
soon be accomplished, by the exertion of prop
er enterprise, admits of little doubt.
But it has been said (uncharitably as we at
first thought, though some appearances now
warrant the suggestion that the proposed ca
nal. would be opposed in those parts of the
State which would not be directly benefited
by it and that their power in tile government
Of the State would be exerted to deny the
mere accommodation of an Act Of lncorpora,
ton. We confess that this suggestion seemed
to US to suppose want of lberality and OF in
telligence in the people of Massachusetts, un-
worthy their character, and which would ul-
timately prove injurious TO their best interests.
Upon what ground Eve do not ask, OF local
| interest, but) of publick policy, could such a
! refusal be founded? What injury could the
Commonwealth land that is the proper mqn-
ry,) sustain BY the opening of canal from
Worcester to- Providence Would it tend to
impoyerish the people, and thus diminish the
resources of the State? or render them less
industrious and enterprizing, and thus lessen
its strength? But the supposition of injury is
ludieFOus-unless it be an injury TO the State
| TO furnish its citizens with new incentives to
industry, to multiply the products oflabour, and
to open TO them market for those products.
Upon what consideration, then, rests the
"publick policy which shoald prevent the
| proposed canal: We shall look for AN answer
to this reasonable inquiry. In the mean time
we defer what other suggestions have occurred
to US on this subject.
