The German Journals announce =
brilliant musical discovery. A citizen Of
CouIland, of the name Of Hansen, has
invented an instrument which he calls
Olympicon, and which to a rare beauty,
joins the advantages OF comprising all the
tones ofthe violin, bass, violoncello, and
the high contre {haut contre). All who
play on the piano can perform ON the
Olympicoi,, and with il q single person
may execute concert.
A diving bell, under the direction of q
submarine adventurer called Crusoe, of
Plymouth, has been shipped from Lon
don to Holland, to recover the cargo of
vessel sunk there % years ago. She is
stated to have 90 brass guns on boald,
10000 in gold, SO casks Of gold in
bars, and 25 casks of silver in bars. The
vessel lays in so feet at high water, which
being very clear, the most sanguine ex-
pectations are formed of their saving
the whole of the properly. One of the
casks of gold bars was lately raised to
the waters edge, but from the bursting
OF the hoops, only one bar was saved,
which weighed seven pounds and half.

CHARLESTON, AUG. 15.--Fwo Southern
Mails were received last evening. There
are three due to-day, but /, is doubtful if
they will arrive as the roads are in a
dreadful state and many bridges have
been carried away.
Letters from the contractor on the
southern route to the post master of this
city say that it is next TO impossible to
travel as the waters are so high. There
is not plantation in the Deighborhood of
Ashepoo where boat might not pass o.
yer the task stakes, and the rice is in dam
ger of being entirely ruined.

EXECUTIVE INFLUENCE.

III we may Judge from what is now al
most every day proposed in Congress,
there IS great cause TO apprehend, moi
only that there are persons disposed to
exercise an undue influence over mcm-
bers OF that body, but that there are re-
representatives. of the people equally will
ling to give their votes in exchange for
present or expected patronage; this, we
say, seems to be the state Of things, if we
may decide by what is often urged in
Congress. 1t is undoubtedly well worth
consideration, whether there is cause for
apprehension on this score for if there
Is, the public voice ought to loin tina. OF
such members Of the legislature as strive
to check or avert the evil That there
must be some cause for alarm, we real
ly think, because SO many plans for
guardinSNagalnst corruption as have been
proposed at the present session could
scarcely, have been the result Of acci-
cent; nor indeed can we suppose, that
any member OF Congress would public
ly propose plan, to guard aga inst the
corrupt s~'.rclse Of executive influence
upon members of the national councils,
unless he had serious reasons for doing
So since the very proposal is calculated
10 excite suspicious, involving discredit
upon the country and upon free govern
n:ent. Some Of the motions made in
relation to this subject, were ii is true,
Withdrawn soon after they had been OF.
tered; others remain to be acted upon
at The next session; and upon the whole
The matter is calculated 10 excite feel
in5s by TO means pleasant n there is
cause Tor apprehension, it is fortunate
that there are men in Congress, who
have the resolution 10 say so. And, even
1t no such cause really exists, it is per-
hars better that we should submit to any
inconvenience resulting from strong
jealousy OF power and wa,chfulness over
lis exercise, rather than by morbid SEN
siblli;y abstain from complaint, and sink
a, last into le.hargy favorable to vices
Of all k inds. .durora.

ron THE SPECTATOR.

~ FOR THE SPECTATOR. Or
Few civilized people are so much in
ahe habit of removing from one part of
the country to another AS those Of the
United States in general, and class on
the interior frontiers in particular. 1t
is somewhat remarkable that those of the
latter class, who of all other men appear
TO be more jealous Of their freedom,
would rot hesitate moment to stake
their all to oppose oppression, come
from what quarter it may--and yet hold
out an idea to emiyrate to Spanish Anne
RIGA. 1t is true revolutions have taken
place honorable to humanity in some OF
those regions; but let any thinking man
consider with what consistent probabili-
ty he could possibly live at case in Tex
as, which is part Of the empire Of Mex
leo, when the fundamental expressions Of
their new constitution say, and in plain
terms, it is to be monarchial govern.
1nent, and the exercise of the Roman
popish religion established there, and
no other. What benefit can it be for the
subjects of tina. empire that it is inde-
pendent Of the mother country, and all
other powers on earth, while they retain
and establish those worst Of curses to
humanity, despotic kingly government,
end. an established church !-Mesn in
deed NUS, that man be, after tasting the
understandable blessings of our expert
mental government Gas i. is like no other
put i'se!fl TO become the slave Of sove-
seign power in these regions, unless by
dire necessity, which the misfortune LA
bic to man, may subject him to.
The backwoodsman, pure and manly
IN his principles and practice, says, g
can live any where under any govern.
,nent, so &c. good land for nothing
lie. him try it, he will find the first par
snsufferably difficult, unless it is the flat
,ering sycophant, who will join the strong
side and get into the practice OF "ridt

beasts of burthen-who to church ane

are to their masters in the slave states
