FROM CANTON.

Our correspondents, the editors of the New York
Mercantile Advertiser, inform US that letter re.
oeiyed in that city from Canton, dated the fourth OF
February, states that the differences between the
English and Chinese were compromised and the
English were permitted to go up and load. The
terms insisted on by the Chinese stated to have
been complied with by the English traders, who had
agreed to send out two men from England, within
fixed period, be given up to appease the death
of the Chinese subjects. Captain Hartman Of the
Dorohea, which arrived at Philadelphia from Can
ton. gives very different statement of the situation
OF affairs between the respective parties He states
that the English Company ships still remained al
Chumpee on the ninth Of February and were bu-
silly employed in loading the Kemp from the other
ships, in order to despatch her for London previous
to their sailing for Sincapour, having already load

SALEM, IN. J) June S

We last week had meeting to take into con-
sideration the propriety of procuring Steam Boat
to run between this place and Philadelphia; and
now we have call for meeting to consider the
propriety of erecting Steam Mill. The meeting
Iof last week was held, when only one person APP
Ipeared to oppose the measure. Committees were
lappointed 10 receive scriptions, and purchase
lboat, should sufficient funds be raised. Subscrip-
tons will be received from such as like to adven-
ture in Philadelphia, Delaware and this state. The
boat, if obtained, is to pass from here across the
river to Delaware, opposite the Pea Patch, and re-
ceve passengers and freight, and proceed to Phil
adephia, furnishing new, pleasant and expedi-
tous means of conveyance to the city for the in
habants of the lower parts of this state and the
state of Delaware, & taking many articles to market
that be sent SO far with safety in anyother way
A Steam Mill will have no i'll effect on any class,
and it will probably save to the farmers of this
country what is now paid to agents for purchasing
and transporting it 10 BrandywIne, which is, we
understand. four cents bushel on wheat, or 5000
dollars $4,000 bushels, the quantity supposed to
be sent from this town year. The profits of
Touring wheat is probably not less than what is
allowed for TOLL which would be nearly 5000 bushels
for $4,000 Toured. Messenger.

FOR TILE AMERICAN wATcHMAN.

Mr.. EpIroR-I feel it my duty as citizen o.
SMYRNA, to make some remarks upon the proceed
ines of federal meeting held at the house of Mrs
Lockwood on Monday, Sd instant an account Of
which YOU will find in the Delaware Gazette of the
9Th instant. And while describe it, blush for the
gentlemen who composed the large and resfectabit
assembage.
BY constitution formed by the federal party, il
is required that meetings shall be held in every
hundred of the county on the first Monday in June
Tor the appointment of persons to meet on the fol-
lowing Monday, to appoint three conferees. The
object OF the constitution doubt to make il
convenient for all persons to attend and the fran.
ers thereof must have been convinced of the neces'
sity of having the of the greater part Of the
yotables on so important selection as the forming
a state ticket. They honest men, could not have
dreamed that few individuals would, with a pre-
OF private business. occupy the room or place
of meeting, to the exclusion of all true hearted re-
publicans and well wishers to their country. But
sir, such the at the meeting Of the Sd inst.
land such has been the before in this place. y
A few designing demagogues, members OF the fam.
in faction and advocates for the harty junto, only
sGpeve in number, assembled at the place then stat.
ed and with closed doors, passed the resolutions
published Can such proceedings accord with the
feelings OF any true American, any friend to liberty
think not, and sincerely hope the day is not far
distant when the aristocratical factous unto will
have to bow their heads in peaceful submission, to
such men as have more sense and less vanity than
King John or any Of his royal followers.
