Extract of letter, dated Head of Chester,
Kent county, Md. August II.
Was apprehended at>this place on
Sunday evening last, and committed to
Jail in Chestertown, Kent county, state
of Maryland, certain man who called
himself LEWIS BOZIER, supposed
TO be Canadian Frenchman, on sus-
picion of intending and having com.
mitted some act contrary to the laws
Of the country. He is middle aged
man, about feet high, dark hair, dark
eyes, forehead rather high, remarkably
wide between the eyes, and little stoop
shouldered. He had on when taken
up, blue nankeen trowsers, dark vest,
and domestic muslin shirt, (rather
dirty a fur hat tolerably well worn, but
neither shoes or stockings. He stated
that he was going to Easton, Md. in
search of "a man named Monjar, who
he said owed him fifty dollars-that he
is western merchant-and at other
times he travelled with a pack. Up
wards of 2l42 dollars were found about
him, consisting of bank notes of the
following description:-some ofS5o On
the Bank of the United States, but a
large proportion Of 800 notes on said
bank; the remainder, consisting ofS TO-,
IS, and 81, on the Bank of the Valley
Of Virginia, Farmers Bank of Virgil
MIA, United States Bank, Philadelphia
Bank, SC. From the circumstances
under which he was apprehended, there
are reasons to believe that he has been
engaged in some dishonest employ
ment; his pack, which was found con-
cealed and acknowledged by him, con-
tanned augers, loaded pistol, powder
and matches, and wearing apparel of
an excellent quality. Two other per
sons were seen, and supposed to be his
accomplices, in the neighborhood-
one black, the other white man

Judge Story and Mr.. Webster have autho-
rised contradiction of the statement some
time ago published in all the newspapers, that
they had agreed to become contributors to
newspaper about to be established in Boston:
So SAYS the Rhode-lsland .9meTcan. But the
Boston Courier, which first published. by au-
thority of the intended Editor alluded to, the
names of these distinguished individuals, as
contributors to his Journal, demands of the
Editor of the american upon what authority
the contradiction is made. We think it pro-
bable that these talented gentlemen did pro-
mise their support to the Editor of the new
paper, and that he imprudently, and without
authority, handed their names to the public.

We regret to perceive that the strong indi-
cations which seemed at first to manifest a
deposition On the part Of the people of Ten
nessee to discard the notorious John Cooke
from their con6denc' :, have not been support
ed by the result Of the election. The late
Knoxville papers announce his success by a
majority Of 1900 over his opponent, Mr.. Ar
mold.

AFFRAY.
During the taking Of votes at the
Courthouse in this town yesterday, al
ARRAY took place in which several per-
sons were engaged. A young man
from the country named HameIin Tur'
ner, received mortal wound, being
shot through the body-and Mr.. Hen
ry Potter, Of this place, was dangerous
ly hurt. Mr.. Turner died early this
morning-Mr. Potter, we understand,
is doing well, and his recovery is not
considered doubtful. We forbear CIV
ing the particulars of thiacircumstance,
as it is undergoing judicial investiga-
ton; but the origin may be traced 10
the unhappy politicalexcitenent which
at intervals has interrupted the harmo-
ny Of this place for upwards OF twelve
month past.

THURSDAY, AUGUST IS, 1925.

The proposed Canal for connecting the wa
tiers Of the Potomac with those OF the Ohio,
appears to be attracting the attention of our
Western brethren, and exciting local exertions
to secure participation in the great benefit
which the scheme promises.
At Marietta, IN Ohio, a meeting was held on
the 6rst instant, for the purpose of obtaining
a survey to ascertain the prscticabiity Of ter
minating the proposed Canal, or branch of
II, at the Ohio, opposite to the Muskingum
river. The route proposals through the val
ley of the Little Kanawha, and Committees
were appointedto cooperate with the people
of Harrison county, Virginia. and others, in
the accomplishment OF their object. Such
branch ofthe great Canal, would not only lead
through very fine country, but would short
en- the extent of navigation, between Cincin-
natl and this District, several hundred miles.
We learn with no inconsiderable regret,
that the weeyil have already made their un-
welcome appearance in our neighborhood.
II may be well for the farmers to examine
their stacks daily, for many crops were ruined
last year before suspicion was excited-Sevc-
raj within the compass of afew miles were SO
completely destroyed as to render threshing
Improbable.

Boston, .Aug. IA letter dated
Madrid, June 6, published in the Jour
nal DIES Debats, says, =" there has been
much talk since yesterday OF the ap-
preaching appointment of Gen. Semen
&c Contras on special mission TO the
United States Of America. The mod
Grafton of this General, which cost him
his dismission from the command OF
Galicia, and his conciliatory character,
render him a very suitable person to
treat the delicate and knotty questions
which now occupy US with the United
States. THE regiment of Navarro
had arrived at Corunna, which COM
pleted the number Of three thousand
troops which were to embark at that
place for Havana.

leave the city hungry, but in returning thanks
when his health is drank, he must not revert

Mep- York, August 72.-By the Flor
iday, which arrived mere on Friday
from Rio Janeiro, we learn that much
CONSERVATION was produced at that
Mace when it was known that LORD
CocHRANE hadsdeparted from Brazil IN
the Piranga frigate-it being un-
derstood that he went off without leave
of the Emperor, carrying with him all
the money he had levied on the people
at Pernambuco, Maranham, &c. and
other property to large amount. Ad.
miral JEwETr, who was suspected OF
being an accessory to this project, had
since been arrested.
The last London papers state that
the Piranga was repairing atSPitehead
for the purpose ofreturning TO Rio, but
it was not expected Id. Cochrane
would return in her The seamen had
been paid off, with liberty to continue
in the service or not. 7

Geatucsy.-Iti is subject of congratulation
with-alI friends of social order and good gov
ernment, that the Radical party in Kentucky,
or in other words, the Relief and new Court
party has been completely defeated at the
late elections in that state The knotty
questions which have so long distracted that
fine country, and which threatened seriously
to depopulate it, have been fairly before the
people. They have heard them discussed in
every possible shape, and have at last deter
mined on adhering to the Constitution and
discarding from their confidence, the men who
have so long sbusedh it. The Kentucky Re-
porter Of August 9Th, says
"The grand political struggle in this
state terminated last Wednesday, and

The Salem Gazette, contrasting the popu-
pularity of Mr. Clay and Mr.. Clinton as mani
tested by public entertainments in the West
says that Mr.. Clay beat Mr.. Clinton by six din
ners and four barbacues. We do not doubt
that Mr.. Clay is more popular, but We deny
the validity of the proof; for such is the rage
for feasting, that if beer suppers be allowed in
the count, George Kremer would beat both
: of them put together.

SIR: The attention Of the War Department has

souri,, and the necessity Of preserving il from the en-
cbroachments of British skill and enterprise
With this view it has been suggested to occupy some
advanced point on the river. with four five compa-
MES of the number comprising your expedition; so To-
Gated as best to favour the objects proposed.
The nature and value of the interests thus to be pro-
ected well as the obstacles attending the execution
of the measure thus contemplated the reoeness the
position, IT'S difficulty Of access and the extreme pre-
caTousness Of its supplies at this tme will be more
fully presented TO your view, possessing that personal
knowledge Of the country and its resources 50 esson
