MASSACHUSETTS,

The number Of manufactures In
Massachusetts, appears by on official ac-
count, to be I6I, possessing an aggre-
gate capital of 2I.465, 900 dollars. OF
these six are for manufacturing glass.
and the remainder for iron, wool. cotton
leather, lead, flax, hemp, silk, wire. salt.
&c. and it is believed the property in
vested in them considerably exceeds thu
amount of their charter capital,

While other States are leading the
way TO improvements within their ter
ritorial limits, on a great scale and al
great expense, the citizens of Massa-
chusetts cannot be Indifferent specta-
tors oftheir progress or of the benefit
derived therefrom. The experience
furnished by works Of this kind already
constructed, favours the execution a
other on a reduced scale of expense.
In the year 1918 a company was in
~coIporated to cut a canal from Ruz-
Yards Bay to Barnstable Bay. The
act OF incorporation would have expir-
ed by its w limitation in March last
but was renewed in February last. An
inquiry into the causes which have de-
layed the execution of this work. NAV
afford information which will enable the
Legislature TO determine whether its
usefulness viii justify their extending to
1t the aid OF the state-From the sur
veys and examinations will have been
made there can be no doubt of its prac-
tlcability, of its ultimate utility there
can be as little doubt.
The navigation of orr coast from
Cape Cod to Cape Sable, and psrticu-
larly that of Boston Bay, is considered
hazardous. and in the winter season.
from the prevalence of westerly winds
and currents, it is a terror to seamen.
1.-THE port of Boston could once be
assured to vessels by making Block
Island and stretching oyer to the mouth
of the canal through Cape Cod, the risk
would be totally changed. Our India
men and other foreign vessels arriving
at that season of the year, instead of
Newport and New-York, would make
for Boston.
The apparent objection that the ca
nal will be liable TO be frozen in the
winter, is removed, in a great degree
from the consideration thatits projection
into the Atlantic Ocean exempts it from
the sewers frosts to which inland canals
are liable. A canal through Cape Cod
is also to be considered as a link in the
chain OF an interior water rom mun;c,-
ton, which within a short period will
connect the northern, southern, and
States, of great and increasing
usefulness, n in the event of war, Of
incalculable advantage.
1t has been contemplated to unite the
waters of Narragansett Bay with those
OF Massachusetts Bay, by Taunton and
Weymouth Rivers, as appears by a
plan in the Secretary's Office.

Washington, Jan. 15,1525.
The Secretary of State, to whom has
been referred the resolution of the
House Of Representatives of the United
States, of the 10th of December last,
requesting information from the Presi-
dent, if not incompatible with the pub
lie welfare, of the causes which have
prevented the execution of the 4th arti-
Gle Of the Treaty Of 22d Of February.
1919, between the U. ). of America and
the Kingdom of Spain, SO far as the
same relates to the surveying Of the
Western Boundary Of the United States.
and if the same has been prevented by
the actuai situation of the government
of Mexico, in respect to the Kingdom
OF Spain, and this country as connected
with the said boundary; and whether
any measures have been taken to call
the attention Of the government ofMex-
leo to the final establishment of a boun-
dairy between that country and the u.
States-has the honor of reporting 10
the President that the causes suggested
IN the resolution have prevented tie ex-
e%cution BY the joint operation Of the
United States and of Spain, of the arti
Gle referred to, as was contemplated by
tile treaty; that soon after the change of
government in Mexico to the republican
form, and before the adoption of the
recent constitution, a communication
was received from the supreme autho-
rity then existing, that they assented to
the boundary as established by the trea-
ty, and would readily cooperate in the
measures necessary for carrying that
article into execution in concert with
the United States. The p~ostponements
of the mission to Mexico have DELAYED
the proposal of defnitiye arrangement
with that government on the subject.
All which is respectfully submitted

INDIAN LAW

An evidence oil tie summary mode Of punish4
meat praclised by some of the aborgines OF our
country, was Witnessed few days since in this
vicinity.
In dispute between two Indians of the Choc-
taw tribe, (mnny OF whom are constantly in or
ABOUT tie city) one OF them stabbed the other with
knife aud severely wounded him. The son of
Chef, who happened at that time 10 be here, on
BENG informed OF the circumstance, went out 10
tile spot, andi without much ceremony, shot the
offender, who submitted TO his fate without MUIR
MUIR. and, We understand, assisted very eoolly in
placing Tie gun TO his breast.
TINS node oil furnishing offences of this nature
prooabiy IS not uncommon among savages, but it
appears singular that the man on whom The as
sanlt was committed should also BE condemned 10
suffer death because lie was wounded. In this
case the wounded Indian was likewise shot, and
both were buried in the same hole.

THE OUApAW INDIANS.

On Monday, June Goth, Gov IzARD was visit
ell, at Little Rock, Arkansas, by Rcckdton and
Saracen, two of the psincpsl Chiefs of the Qua
paw Nation, for the purpose Of holding Talk
with him, the principal obeetrQf which was to
endeavor TO effect modification or Suspension
of the late Treaty concluded by them, by which
they coded all their lands in the Territory of Ar
kansaw, 10 The United States. BY this Treaty
the Quapaws required TO remove before the
goth OF January, 1926, TO the country inhabited
by the Caddo Indians, aud TO form a part OF that
tribe
The Talk was commenced by Heckaton, in a
speech of nearly an hour, of which the following
is given in the Arkansas Gazette, brief outline:
lie commenced with the usual assurance, that his
nation had always been friendly to the White peo-
pie, and wished TO remain sos
That they intended TO have reserved portion oil
their land far their children, but had not the means
OF doing so;
That it was pain'al for them to leave tie land
whe the bones Of their ancestors rcposed, aud a,
they would feel grateful TO their Great Father Tor
permission TO remain few years longer on the land
Of their fathers;
That their nation was frank, and would do no
harm, but that the nation 10 which they were
going (ihe Caddoes) might be Otherwise and his
nation be censursd Tor acis Of when they were in
nocent;
Ibai he had come 10 request that the execution OF
the Treaty might be delayed for fesg years, 50 tar
as u related TO their removal;
That they wished the Governor to write 10 their
great father at Washington on the subject and COM
municale his answer to them;
That if he could grant them no indulgence, they
would submit to bis decision;
That he feared his people would suffer in their
march through the woods;
That he wished to visit the Caddoes before his
nation should be compelled to remove, and that he
wished an agent of the Government to accompany
him for the purpose Of giving him protection a.
gainsi any injury which might be offered ny white
men.

years, deici: of 500 900 annually: that the ma
tionai credit was in the lowest condition.; that the
national property was bonded for the consoli,la-
ton of the Overwhelming public debt; that the
London loan of FIVE millions of dollars had almost
disappeared without perceiving any utility in its
investment.
The Custom Houses since June, of last wear,
have only produced $500 cash, the duties being
paid with notes which have been issued to supply
the said defcs the entries have decreased annual
~ 5000, 900, since the year 1922 and all the other
sources of the revenue have decreased proportion
ally. In short, the picture is dismal,
The Civil Officers have been ten months without
pay; large sums due to the army; the Province
OF Conception is infested with bandti; Curico is
threatened by the Guerilla Pinchera, and his in
cursions by extended the territory of Puer-
IA. The winter approaches, and the vessels of war,
which are not on service, are without security, in
our harbours. We are also without ammunition,
horses and encapment materials in word all these
branches are In the utmost degree of abandonment.
The Commission, in such urgent necessity,
recommend an immediate forced contribution OF
$500 OOO if this cannot be raised voluntarily;
which last remedy is considered unattanable owing
to The decline and poverty of the community. (The
result OF the deliberations OF the Congress upon this
subject is not yet known) .
President Bolivar has found the treasury in Peru
In most miserable condition; he was endeavour-
ins TO re- establish it by the rigid economy -
Among the violent measures lie had adopted COR that
purpose was that of cutting down the salaries Of
all the Public Officers one half.
The question whether Upper Peru should form a
part of,the Repubic.of La Plata, or that of Lower
Peru, was to be debated in the Constituent Con-
grcss of the former, about the middle of MAY last
God grant the momentous question be settled ami
cably!
The Constituent Congress of the Provinces oil
La Plata has not yet agreed upon a project oil
Constitution. Some members were for the system
OF one and indivisible, like that of the Republic OF
Colombia, and others, who seemed TO be the inaori-
ty, were for Federal System, like that of Mexico,
and the Republic Of Central America.
The King of Spain has yet three garrisons on the
Continent OF America; in Chloe, near Valdivia
(Chili; another in Callao, near Lima (Peru;) and
the third, in San Juan de Ulloa, near Vera Cruz
(Mexico.)
To these may perhaps be added Montevideo on
the Banda Oriental, in possession of the austra Eur
pefor Tor the benefit possibly of his Kinsman, the
beloved Ferdinand"
Thus the Holy Alliance may be conside red as
having yet four gates in the most important States
OF ci-devant Spanish America, to introduce their
Agents, and practice their arts and, if successful
in these, pour in, seasonably their myrmidons and
reinstae the rod of the oppressor. Which God
forbid
