Freeman Rickhow, who is in Bride
we'll for robbing Mr.. Benson, of Phila-
delphia, attempted to break out by en-
deavoring to remove the bars and some
heavy stones, but was detected, and is
now chained in Johnson's room. About
5000 dollars were recovered from him
and there is every reason to believe that
he is the man who knocked down
Gasner's clerk and robbed him.
He was not aware of the steps taken
to arrest him, but as proof of his des-
perate character, he assured the officers
that had he not been betrayed, he
would have despatched two of them
before allowing himself to be taken.
The prisoners in the Jail at River
head, Long Island, attempted to libe-
rate themselves, by setting fire to the
prison, but they were almost suffocated
and called upon the jailor for relief, who
gave the alarm and had them secured,
and the fire extinguished. ID.

GCommuaicated.1

Messrs. EpIroRs-In your last mum.
Der, you threw out few observations
upon the charges which had appeared
in the Richmond Enquirer against our
venerable Chief Magistrate, and argued
as if the author was Mr.. GILES. The
little doubt that then existed, is now
converted into certainty-not from any
additional evidence adduced in the pa
pers; but from a thorough conviction,
after a more attentive perusal of the
paper in question, that Virginia does
not contain an individual possessing
sufficient talent, who would be guilty
of the act, save WIN. B. GILES. 1 am
justified in saying that every line bears
the impress Of the once ambitious, but
now disappointed man. If any thing
can render man callous to the taunts
and ieers of the world, and reduce his
feelings from those of a man to those of
a brute, it is, when with lofty and
ambitious, mind he scars his fight to
the most exalted stations, and sudden
" falls-falls like Lucifer, never to rise
again. Such man is Mr.. Giles; and
while I am willing to give due credit
to short period of his life, the latter
part has been spent in the vain attempt
to pull down the regulations Of those
who are his superiors, in evey qualifi-
cation which epnobles and snhghtens
the human character.

FROM PERU.

Mew- York, March 3.-By the schr.
Monkey, Capt. TEFFTs, arrived last
evening from Carthagena, some fur
ther intelligence is received from Peru.
There are letters from Panama to the
23d of January. A passenger from
that place, states that since the news
of the final victory Of Bolivar was re-
ceived, two other vessels had arrived
from Lima, and brought information
that all was quiet in that quarter. Cal
lao was occupied by the Patriots, and
the stipuIations of the treaty for the
capitulation of the Spanish army, were
carrying inc effect. TWAS agreed that
the Asia, and other Spanish ships Of
war, should be permitted to return to
Spain for the purpose Of carrying home
the Spanish officers and troops. The
report that these ships had escaped
from Callao in the month Of Novem-
Der, was incorrect. ID.

We have received communication, signed
'sHomo, complaining in terms nthert too bit.
ter, ola petition (now handing about for sig
natures,) praying the Council to suppress Sun
day markets.
Many of his arguments are good, and
could we have seen the writer, or felt our
selves authorised to divest his communication
of its intemperance, it should have been pub
hshed.
While We acknowledge the right of the Pc
titioners to pursue the course they have :
dopted, we cannot agree to be silently sub
jected to their whims.-Sunday markets are
agreat convenience and benefit to the town,
and ought not to be abandoned without a fair
Investigation.
We dislike these er pcrfe operations. Let
Council decide without petitions, and if they
have doubt about the wishes of the people
on the subject, let these wishes be ascertained,
by an open and full vote. either now, or at
the next council election. For ourselves, we
have confidence enough in council to submit
the matter sub siientio; but if one side petition
the other must, and this begets unnecessary
warmth and trouble.

COLOMBIA AND H.aYTE

The negotiations which had Deen
carried on between a Commissioner
from Hayti and the Colombian govern.
ment, on the subject of a treaty Often
sive and defensive, were brought to a
conclusion in July last, by a letter from
the Secretary of State and foreign rela-
tons at Bogota, in which the most
friendly feelings are expressed towards
the Haytien republic, but the PROPOSE
ton is declined on the ground that
such a treaty might be regarded as
hostile act by powers with whom Co
lombia is on terms of correspondence.
A recognition by France is spoken Of
by the Colombian Secretary as pro-
bable event, with which such treaty
might interfere; but he says that when
received among the family of nations,
the influence Of his government shall
be directed to promote the happiness
of Hayti. He adds that an assembly
of PIenipotentiaries from all the late
Spanish countries Of America may per-
haps be called together the present
year at Panama, and that his govern
ment will avail themselves of that OPP
portunity to determine on what system
of relations they shall enter into with
the other states in this hemisphere,
when, it is hoped measures will be a
dopted which will crafty the wishes OF
Hayti. N. York advertiser.

TUESDAY, MARCH s, 1925.

In order to keep up the chain of Congress
proceedings, for the benefit Of our country
subscribers, we are compelled to occupy more
of our to-day's paper in that way, than is de-
sirable to town readers. A part Of these pro-
ceedings will be found on the first page, and
the balance, which completes the journal of
the eighteenth Congress, are under the usual
head. The Senate was in session on Saturday,
and devoted the greater part cfthe day in dis
cussing the right of Mr.. Lanlnan, Of Connect
cut, to seat A committee waited on the
President to inform him, that the Senate were
ready to receive any communications which be
might choose to make. Four messages were
sent, which, probably, contained the nonina-
tons mentioned, through an extract from the
htellgencer, in another part of this paper
The Senate adjourned to Monday.

We learn from a source, in which we place
confidence, that Chief Justice Marshall has
not concluded tie resign his station, at the end
of the present term-or at any fixed period
The Richmond Wing, speaking Of such re-
port being in circulation, adds another, which
we have not before heard-namely: that Mr.
Tazewell is to succeed to the vacancy. Both
these reports, the Wing thinks highly impro-
bable. -
The Richmond Compiler states, upon the
authority of a letter from Washington, that
f. Mr.. Clinton has refused the appointment to
London, rendered him by Mr.. Adams. 1t has
been said, but we believe without foundation,
that Mr.. Clinton has been offered either the
mission to England, or the Treasury Depart
mcnt Little doubt remains that Mr.. Rush
will ill the latter office without contingency
and since the late development of Governor
CEnton's sentiments on state rights, We rejoice
at his exclusion from the Cabinet.
The course which MIR. Adams promises to
pursue, more especially in relation to Internal
Improvements, is one that presents the bright
est prospects to our country; and we hope
never to see him fettered with constitutional
advisers, whose opinions are known to be ad-
verse to so important m easure.
