From Fort Smiih.-Capt q. .Lcfpich OF
the Army, arrived here on "Wednesday last,
from Fort Smith, which place he left about
ten days since. The troops from For, Smith.
had arrived at the place selected for the new
military post, which is about three miles I'm
Grand river, on the left bank, and mo-, ut thu,
mouth of the Verdigris, as before reported
II Is called Cantonment Gibson, in honor OF
the present Commlssary General of Subsis-
tence. This post is about four or five miles
from the mouth of the Verdigris, and ahou,
the same distance from Choteau's trading
house. Capt. L. brings nothing new from
the Indians.
Maj. Aexander Cummings has been trans.
ferred from Fort Smith to Red river, and
takes command the new military post to be
established at the mouth of the Kiau,che.-
There will be two companies established aiIthat

forms US, that on Sunday before last, the 10
dy ola man, which there is every reason tn
believe is that Of Mr.. Philbrook, was picked
up about two miles above the Spadrc. lie
did not see the body, but was informed by Sc
veralpersons who examined it, that there was
wound IN the left side, and one of the ribs
broken, just below the left breast, which ap-
and that there was hole corresponding with
the wound through the vest which was found
on the body. These circumstances lead to a
suspicion that Mr.. PhiIbrook was murdered,
which we consider very doubtful. When it is
considered that the body had drifed more
than zoo miles, it is more than probable that
the wound which appeared on it, was occa-
stoned by drifting againsta snag or log in the
river. The description of the clothes found
on the body, we understand, leaves no doubt
of the identity Of Mr.. Philbrook's person.
ARRIVAL OF TROOPS.
The Steamboat Florence, Capt. Murray.
arrived at this place about 8 O'Clock on Sun
day evening last, from New Orleans, with a
detachment of U. s. troops, under the com

Eagle, arrived a few days ago at that place.
The Florence left here yesterday afternoon,

1t appears by one Of our late Paris Papers
that an old law restricting the cultivation of
Tobacco, to persons licensed by the govern

" On this plan,' remarks the editor, elf The
legislature bad in their wisdom declared, that
the government alone should make and sell
wine, grain, wool or cattle, they would
lncontestIbly have The right 10 exercise a
Pa'ernai administration on all the lands in the
Kingdom, instead Of the proprietors, whom,
tney might compel to plant AS many vines,
10 30" as much grain, raise as many sheep,
ana cattle, as they should think pro-
per, and under such penalties, as they should
JUDGE necessary for the advantage of the royal
treasury"
Her tobacco culture, however, is TO be en-
tIreIy regulated by the government after next
year, in accordance with law which has
been for some time partially suspended and

PoRT or SALEM, May 17.-Arri-

well, rs days from Valparaiso. Capt.
Elwell left Valparaiso on 29th Feb.
The last dates from Lima were about
the Goth January, at which tiRle the
Royal troops bad not entered the city,
but it was understood that they could
ifthcy cilose)-the merchants had prin-
cipaIlv retired to CaIIoa. Report says
that there were misunderstanding be-
tween The Colombian and Peruvian:
and it was thought Bolivar would re-
turn to Colombia. 1t was also repor
ted that there was very little conf
dence.in the governmeDt-tha very
thing exhibited the utmost confusion,
and ii was eoDjectured that the Peru
vians would come upon some terms
with the Royaltroops. The despach.
es from Comodore Stewart will proba-
bly, give more particular account.
There appears to be great want
(oii confidence in the Gillian Govern
ment. The Supreme Director had
concentrated bis land and naval force
at TaIcuhana, and the expedition had
sailed 10 attack Chloe, the issue of
whichis thought very doubtful. The
people appear much dissatisfied, and
the country in very impoverished and
unsettled state. New Tariffs and re-
gulatlons are so frequent, that there
can be no correct calculations made.
They were expected large force
from Spain, and it was thought they
would meet with little resistance.

St. Augustine to take the public docu-

St. Marks, from thence to be convey

IdlldhaSSe - Governor Duval had
given information that it was his inten

establishments there, to place their
buildings in the situation where they

cy, is their interest and honor require them
to place the late opposition Must it be on
that OF unhallowed" party feelings-or in
senslblllty to the honor and danger of the
country-on disafection to the Union and
traltorous combinations? Or isit not sufficient
Tor all the fair and honorable objects Of party,
TO arralgn the wisdom, policy, and expedien-
cy OF the system pursued by those wao had
influence with the people under former ad-
ministrations, and for those reasons only to
transfer, if they see fit, their confidence to
those, who with them were opposed to the old
order OF things. This may be done without dis
credit to State, and no man is entitled to
expostulate or complain. The people may
change men whenever a revolution happens
in public opinion respecting men or inca
sures. Let the change happen, if you please,
through real persuasion of its fitness, thro'
a loneliness for rotation in office, through the
charm OF new talents or new faces, nay, even
through caprice, or any Of the causes which
operate upon the man or the million All
this is unobjectionable, because it is in the nat
ural courso of things.-But when it shall be-
come the settled habit of our Governments
Tor those who come into power by the suffrage
OF the people to launch forth in revilinss Of
those who so out, We shall exhibit misera-
Bile spectacle OF hostile factions, like those
which brought the republics of ancient and
modern times to ruin. Men of principle and
talent will not devote their lives to the study
OF the " Commonwealth affairs.' with
certain anticipation thae upon every change
OF public opinion they are not only to lose
place (Which they ought to expect and be
reconciled toy but character also. The pow
ers OF government will then fall SUCCESSFULLY
into the hands of those, who will deserve all
the Ill they can say of each other, and who
will indemnify themselves for the loss of the
little reputation they have at stake, by turn
ing through their sterile grounds, the streams
which flow from the public treasury. Every
man will have a price for himself and his re-
lations-Every place its perquisites, to the
profits of which, the prices in the statute
book will afford no clue-Whle the high
minded and disinterested, will seek in disgust
the shade of private life, and leave the repub-
public to its fate. H.G. OTIS.

city, and filled the Turkish authorities
with surprise and alarm. 1t appears,
that as the possibility Of danger had not
been anticipated, the number of dispo-
sable troops was very small, the Pacha
not being able to muster more than 400
men in the first instance. The village

BosToN, March, 8.

SURGICAL OPERATIoN,--A Surgical OPP
Grafton was yesterday performed at
Charlestown which, from its nature and
its novelty, has excited much interest.
The subject oft had the misfortune to
be deprived of his nose about ten yea rs
apo, so that the nostriIs were exposed,
presenting deep and disgusting cavity,
and small projection of the superior
portion of the nasal bones, was the only
part of the organ remaining. Dr.. J.
S. Hurd, bold and skilful Surgeon of
that place, after removing the cicatrix
TO the margin of the cavity, detached, by
an incision through the integuments of
the forehead, portion of skin of such
figure and size as, when turned round,
formed, by the assistance of tents, reg
ularly proportioned nose-the edges of
the skin fitting very accurately into the
line which had been prepared TO receive
them, and the little projection of the
flap which had been cut from the upper
part of the forehead, forming, when
turned down, perfect septum. This
artificial nose was closely secured by
secures, and there is every reason TO
believe that adhesion will soon take
place, and an organ be left to the pa
tent quite equal in appearance to that
which originally occupied its place. The
edges of the wound in the forehead
we're next drawn nearly together, so
that the only deformity which is likely
to remain, is such as may be easily con-
cealed by the hair.
The Taliacotian Operation has been
performed but rarely in Europe, and
more than half the cases reported have
been successful. The one we have re-
lated is we believe, the first ever at
tempted in this country it was per-
formed with uncommon neatness and
skill.
