Some interesting accounts relative, to the
burial place OF the Ex-Emperor Napo-
leon, extracted from an interesting mar
rative of voyage to Pulo Penang, or
Prince Of Wales Island, by captain
Lockerby.
Urged by curiosity common to all
strangers, Captain Lockerby visited the
tomb OF Bonapare, and also the new house
which had been fitted up for his reception.
The spot where the tomb stands is only
accessible by ticket. The grave had been
dug under large willow treee, which
(probably from being undermined at the
roots) was in complete state Of decay -
The tomb was covered with slab stones
(apparently from England) which had
been taken up from the kitchen floor Of
the new house. 1t was rallied round with
green pailing, and sentinel walked round
it, night and day, to prevent approach
within the railing. There was no inscrip-
ton Oh the tomb. The ground surrounding
it, it was understood, wa, to be laid out as
gardens, for the accommodation Of those
who came 10 visit the grave ofthe depart
ed Emperor.

VANDALIA, APRIL 2.

\ tANDALiA, AFKIL q
For some weeks past, an alarm has
prevailed among some OF the frontier CT
tizens north of this place, in consequence
of some depredations committed by a
party of the Kickapoo Indians, on the
house of Mr.. Ramsey. Some threats
were made by the Indons, and perhaps
some trifing property carried Oft. They
were pursued by the citizens of the set
Element, and some acts Of violence might
have been used 10 regainil,g it. For the
purpose of ascertainiug the number of
Indians collected, and their probable de-
sign, three gentlemen Of this town, with
the permission Of the Governor, went to
their encampments, about As miles north
of this place, on the south fork Of the
Sangamo. About 200 warriors (prin-
cipally Kickapoos) had assembled with
in the compass OF few miles, for the
purpose, they say, OF hunting; They
have moved their encampments some / 5
or 8 miles further down the Sangamo !;
and declare it is their intention To return
to the old Kickapoo towns, above Fort
Clark. They do not deny that they are
making preparations for war, but state il

GA select committee has been appoint

Treasury, relating to the examination OF
the western land offices. These reports
refer to the appointment of Senator
from the state Of Illinois, Mr.. Thomas

zion to refer the documents to select
committee produced sharp and warm
debate, in which Mr.. Cook, the member
from Illinos, greatly distinguished him
self. He was attacked with much severi-
ty by the devoted friends of the Secreta-
ry, but he answered them with great
spirit, and gained signal victory over
them. There were but "a against re-

" Your structures upon the appoint
ment of Senator 1HoMAs, of Illinois, are
much approved ofhcre. The best con
stiiutional lawyers consider his seat as
vacated. 1t is thought that you have
been very tender of Mr.. CRAwFoRD on
this occasion, who has evidently shewn
some reluctance in furnishing the facts
for the information of Congress. have
no disposition to give him more than his
share Of blame but it is no part of my
creed that friend is 10 be saved By a
head Of department at the expense Of
the friacihles of the constitution. A
public officer, and particularly officers
of the Presidents council or cabinet,
ought to be the guardians Of the purity
of our republican Institutions, and
prompt to prevent and to expose devia-
tons. Mr.. CALHOUN has been sharply
censured Tor permitting an alledsed ex-
cess OF expenditure beyond the amount
Of appropriation for specific object, in
case where It was unavoidable from
the Aaae when the appropriation was
made, where he had good grounds OF
justification, and where no body could
accuse him Of partially to friend or IA
vorite; but The fault attributed to him is
feather in comparison with the Trea.
sury appointment Of Mr.. TuoMAs. In
this there is more than meets the eye
and the subject will be taken up hereaf-
ter with a very different view OF it from
ihat Afforded by the Senator himself.
Mr.. RANDOLPH called up on Satur-
day the resolution be had laid on the Ia
bic the evening before, relative to the
fixing time for the close of The session
the house Showed no disposition either
10 adopt his resolution, or TO come to any
determination upon the subject. The
motion is thought premature; and some
of the oldest members, am told, :hink
the session cannot be closed before May.
The agitation Of the question, however,
will have good tendency. 1t will In

On one OF these occasions, Mr.. Coles enter
tanned US with relation Of the principal
events in the political life OF aIr. John Pope, of
Kentucky. This histol embraced an account
of quarrel between Mr.. Pope and the adj
mnistration, while Mr.P. was senator in con-
gress, and of the exertions of Mrs. Madison to
pscify him. "W-hen on my journey to this
country" said Mr.. Coles, 81 stopped few
days in Frankfort. Al the principal ihhabi-
tants Of the place, except Mr. Pope, visited
me at the hotel. As | knew the reason why
Mr.. Pope did not call to see me was because
he felt sour towards the administration, | ex-
pressed my intention to go and see him, which
those WHO had visited me strongly protested
against, saying MIR. Pope ough, to call and see
me first. | waited till The third day, and find
ing that he would not come, again announced
my determination to go and see him, which
all the gentlemen at the hotel opposed. But
| would go; and when | started, even some
of Mr. Pope's friends tried to pull me back,
went to his house, and when opened the
door and looked in, llr. POPE burst out q
laughing"
This characteristic anecdote speaks volumes
in favor ofits hero. 1t may beredacea to tls
That MIR. Coles, who had held a sort of ;
who-wants-lne station in the presidents FAM
y, did not think it beneathhis dignity to make
nor could all the quzzing gentry of Frankfor,
prevent him from making, a first visit to Mr.
Pope, who hadbeen nothing mere than distin
Suishcd senator in the congress ofthe United
States, aud was at the time, secretary of the
state of Kentucky.

HON. EDWARD COLES, ESQ.

We are happy to announce the safe arrival
of this gentleman to the bosom Of his friends
in this town, after performing the arduous
and fatiging rounds of the state. He informs
that he met with no misfortune on his route,
with the exception of the loss Of an elegant
horse, which he broke down.
We understand that Mr. Coles has express.
ed his satisfaction Mt the few notices which we
have taken of him since he has been cand;-
date for the Office of governor, as being admi-
rabIy well calculated to make him better
known to the people. Encouraged by hisap-
probation, we fee. il duty incumbent upon
us to proceed. Ithas beensupposed by some
that we are personally hostile TO him; but this
is not fact. Mr.. Coles having ever treated
us, in our presence, with the most killing po-
liteness- Except on one occasion)-his inces-
SAINT back billings have never provoked us to
break friendship with him.
We have no other sources Conformation by
which to make Mr.. Coles better known, than
such as have beenfurnished BY himself. These
are confined to CONFERENCE.-The, and incidents
necessarily connected with them, which occur
red in Mr.. Madison's family during his admi-
nistration; and before Mr.. Coles became q can.
didate, they were his constant theme, by day
and by night. lfhe happened to speak on any
other subject. it was depression. He would
frequently, at Virgins, keep bar-room a,.
dience in profound silence, from seven O'Clock
in the evening till two in the morning-the
hearers listening in brcathless wonder, with
open mouths, fixed eyes, and all the indications
expressive of establishment.

DEER SIR-You will perceive BY the

me from voting TO give such relief TO the
unfortunate and distressed mere hants,
as they have a Just claim upon congress
to grant.
vou viii also see that resolution was
rejected by an almost unanimous vote,
which had FOR its object an extension of
the right otpre -enption to certain settlers

therefore, to that large and respectable
