libel on the character Of the Rev. ]. N.
Maffitt, has occasioned great excite
fnent. In consequence Of the decision,
Mr.. NJ. requested that an Ecclesiastical
Council might be called on his case
Accordingly they convened in The city
of Boston, TO consider the charges against
him, as they appeared in the Galaxy, and
the report of the trial.
After investigating what came before
the Court, the Council adjourned to
Providence, 10 examine the dispositions
which were taken there. After faith
full and candid investigation Of the sub
ject, the Council were unanimous in dc-
quitting Mr.. Maffitt of the high charges
alleged against him.
The Council do indeed discover i'm
prudence in some instances, but have
received satisfaction from him and hope
that by age and experience, through the
assistance OF Divine grace he will cor
rect the same, and be instrumental of
doing good. The doings Of Tie Council
will soon be before the publick, in a
pamphlet form in which, will appear,
more fully, the reasons Of their decision.
And the editors of newspapers are
respectfully requested to he as ready in
giving this paragraph publicity as they
were the doings Of the Municipal Court,
in the city of Boston, on the same sub
ject. [Zion's Herald.

opposed 10 John G. Adams, as caHdi-
date for thc presidency of the United
States. This attack, coming from so
strange a quarter, ushered into publick
notice in so strange manner, and for
SO singular purpose, has excited the
attention OF the Secretary of State, who
has replied, through the medium of the
Richmond Inquirer, in letter Of more
than FIVE solid columns in that capacious
paper. Although we think this is small
game for the third officer in rank in the
government, who will find full employ
ment out Of his office if he takes notice
of every newspaper scribblcr that may
think proper TO attack him, yet we must
say that he has done the work pretty
thoroughly-zGen. Smythe appearing to
not much greater advantage under his
tutelage, than he did as military COM
mander on the frontier during the late
war.
However, the Secretary of State need
not amuse himself with the idea that
he has silenced the wind battery of this
modern Alexander. We have not a
doubt he will answer he has answerea
and that his thoughts and his argu-
ments will come SINGLE and $ in
pairs,n and by I" platoons,'' until there
will be such deIuge of words as at
least 10 oyerwhelm the Secretary, il.
not TO silence him. Mr.. Adams has a
hard task on his hands. He has killed
Jonathan Russell, wounded Alexander
Smythe, and defed Mr.. Clay. How
many new foes he has in ambush, time
will discover. nv Y. DAILY .4dv.
Shoeing Horses.---A gentleman living
in Hampden, (Me.) has made an I'M
prorement in the manner of shoeng
horses. which is designed 10 prevent
snow balls from adhering TO the feet,
thereby endangering the life of the ri
der. and rendering it difficult and fatigu-
ing for the horse to travel. lie says,
:" the smith in forming tfie plate for his
shoe, should draw il wider in the mid
| die, and narrower at the end than for a
common shoe: after the shoe is turued,
let the inside of it be pecned out, so as
to leave it in the form of a heater, viz.
narrow at the toe, and wide at the heel:
In which case the snow, Instead of being
confined by circular shoe and forming
ball in the hollow Of the foot, is con-
tinually working cut and discharging il
| self at The heel and the horse instead
of treading upon round ball Of snow
and ice, will find and feel the benefit of
| his caulks!n
| Important Invention. We find it stated,
in one of our last file Of English papers,
that Mr.. Cook. Of Birmingham, has dis
covered method of rendering all sorts
of cotton, linen, muslins, sc. Gas well as
timber itself inqQmbustible by immers.
ing them in solution of pure vegetable
alliah. This solution is perfectly clear
and without any smell, and window-cur-
tains and bed-hangings are thus render
ed perfectly secure from any accident

but because there seems 10 be much opposition

1t is apparent, from an inspection of the bill,

The character and advantages of this work
may be drawn from the following
The Massachusetts spy. [volume] (Worcester [Mass.]) 1821-1823, 1823-01-22


which we announced, last week, and have
given somewhat in detail in this paper, indi-
Gates speedy termination Of the feverish re-
pose of Europe. If the Congress at Verona
have not been engaged in childish play, the
result is to be considered as an annunciation
that France intends to make war upon the
Spanish nation, in order to compel them to
yield their Constitution. 1t is quite obvious,
too, that other powers have consented TO thi,
measure, in order that they may be at liberty
to adopt their own several plans of policy
Russia, especially, can now take her own
course with regard to Turkey, well knowing
that war in the west of Europe will prevent
any interference which might thwart her pur-
poses
The British Ministry wisely stand aloof from
these proceedings, ready TO profit by the ad.
vantages Of neutrality, and from the viciss
tudes of the war.
We look for intelligence from Spain, viii
much interest. We trpst that the nation
which first successfully resisted the legions d
Napoleon, will as efectually withstand botl
the demands and the forces of Louis.
