Mr.. EDIToR-Permit me, through your pa
per, 70 remark on the practice which is not un-
frequ, /, Of attaching impertinent rhymes TO
the notices of marriages. If one Of the parties
happen to possess name which can be tortur-
ed TO give point to a pun or an epigram, it is
very COMMON for some imagined wit to busy
himself about it. If his labour be happily exc
cuted, the persons who are the subjects of it
may perhaps be required, reasonably, to sub
NIT themselves quietly TO his disposal; but it
unfortunately happens, that in most cases the
fancied wit consists III some indicate conceit
attached TO it, and the thing carries generally
the appearance Of those puerile original trifes
which the almanack-maker provides for the
entertainnen INT of lis literary patrons. Now it
should be remembered, that if :" a want of de-
cency' is not always s'want Of scnse,'' what
ever bctrays this :sant, is at least contempti-
bic; and there is positive indelicacy in thus
dragging the parties before the pubiick, be-
cause of mare sscbnoxious to the punning
tribe" need not point out instances of this
infraction of the laws Of decorum; but think
the practice ought to be discountenanced, and
that editors of taste should be cautious in Civ
ing currency to these specimens of low and
vulgar friyolity.

WASHINGTON, DEC. 49,.
In the House of Representatives, this
morning, after the usual number of pc
titions were presented and referred, Mr..
Hardin, Of Kentucky, offered resolu-
ton, that committee be appointed TO
inquire whether further retrenchment
can be made without detriment to the
publick service. The resolution was a.
dopted without debate, and it was d.
rected that the committee consist of sew
en-. A very wide field is open for the
investigations of this committee, and
their report will be looked for With
great interest.
1t was remarked that Gen. Cooke this
morning had on his red jacket, which is
here looked upon as signal of war;
Ecce signum was whispered around the
hall, and the mode of attack was wait
ed for with impotence. He at length
rose and offered a resolution, that a
comm tee be appointed TO inquire what
number of lots, in the city of Washing
ton, have been SOLD by the agents Of the
United States, when sold, by whom, to
whom, and for what price what part
of the purchase money has been made,
the amount due, and when payable !;
whether the debts are we'll secured (;
whether the money received has been
applied TO objects authorized by any ex-
listing law; how much thereof has been
paid into the Treasury when and by
whom paid, and what disposition has
been made of all the money arising from
sales of said lots; and that the said COM
mittee have power to call for persons
and papers. The very phraseelogy of
the foregoing resolution seems to imply,
that there has been something wrong in
the sale of these lots, and in the DISPOSE
ton of the proceeds. Twill not, howev-
er, anticipate the report of the commit
tee, which will consist of five. Messrs.
Hardin and Cooke are vigilant and indie
fatigable watchmen and if there has
been any thing wrong in this business,
or in any transactions Of the government,
it must and will be known.
We learn that the orders now in this
place, for the purchase of broom cotton
cloths, for expectation TO foreign mar
kcts, anticipate the actual manufacture
of those cloths. The steady prices
maintained, Notwithstanding the addi-
tional machinery which has lately been
put into operation, form a pretty con-
vincing proof that our information is
correct. 1t could not be otherwise,
when single invoices are c1lIed for, of
from one hundred to one hundred and
hity bales each. ProU. Journal.

the Commonwealth was doubted, the executive was
directed TO borrow million Of dollars, at an IN
terest not exceeding FIVE per cent. These facts shew
that the state Of Pennsylvania has not been unInihd
ful OF improvements.
Since the date OF the law for the Improvement OF
the state, passed in March, 1921, S256,289 have
been granted by different acts oil the legislature, Tor
the use of various literary ard benevolent Institu'
tons, and the encouragement and promotion OF sun
dry improvements, exclusive OF $4,000 dollars
granted by an act of the last session. for improving
the navigation of the Susquehanna from the town OF
Columbia to the Maryland line, payable by install
ments not exceeding 10000 dollars IN one year.
And within the same period 290,709 dollars have
been paid in discharge of these several grants, ex-
elusive Of 1000 dollars which the commissioners for
clearing the Susquehanns have received at different
times on account of their first sstament, agreeaby
TO the terms Of the act under which they hold their
appointments, and by which the appropriation was
made.
These objects Of improvement being now nearly
all completed, and the appropriations paid as far
as they have become due, the ordinary revenue
with proper regard to economy, the credit OF the
state and its abundant resources, and means Judi
ciously applied, and pruden,ly managed, with the
aid OF wise regulations and sautary laws, will it is
confidently expected, unless some unforeseen ext
gency occurs, be fully adequate to meet the public
expenditures of the commonwealth, extngush it,
existing debts within reasonable period Of time,
and supercede the necessity Of resorting to taxa
ton, or imposing any new or additional burdens on
the people.

IMPORTANT RUMOUR.

A rumour has been aaoat 10 this city Tor some
days past, that Mr.. Rush had made an inquiry OF
our government by the request OF the Ens'lsh carl
net, TO ascertain whether The United States icere
prepared 10 join England in united resistance TO
cny attempt Of yhe Holy alliance, upon the hide
peadence Of the South american hepubhcs. we
confess that we are credulous TO believe not only
this but that England is prepared to join US in re.
sisting all further attempts the part of the Allied
Powers, to colonize this country. They have large
possessions on this continent TO defend from Tor
egn aggression as we'll as the United States Eng
land is Jealous of Alexander's power, and the set
Element which he has formed OH our western from
tiers, has already been with the English cabinet q
subject of remonstrance.

FROM NEW ORLEANS.

We have received by the ship Virginia, Capt
Hallett, New Orleans papers 10 the Esd ultimo.
Several articles hintng darkly at plots and con-
spiracles, have lately appeared in the newspapers
New Orleans and such was the profound and So
emn mystery preserved, that we almost began to
think OF the horrors Of St. Domingo. We have this
morning, however received New Orleans papers to
the esd ultimo, by which it appears that it vas all
hum bug--the Mayor, Sheriff, Attorney General,
Parish Judge and oil, having been imposed upon by
an old black offender, whose object to effect an
escape amidst the confusion of his own raising.
The fellow had the adrorness to rally the New Or.
leans Legion into the field, and it appears that IN
der the pretencs OF leading Gen. Laroude and his
forces 10 the encampment OF the conspirators, he
gave them wild goose chace OF about two days
through hideous swamp, before they detected the
imposition. The editor Of the Louisiana Advertiser
declares tina, the Mayor and public officers who ar
ranged the expedition, acted with folly-that they
created unnecessary alarm-thst they treated many
respectable citizens with contemplated that the
whole business from the breining to the end, was
one Of The most ridiculous and gasconading military
movements ever made in any country, and as such
deserves the most pointed rdicule.
