AMERICAN GENIUS.

Extract ola letter from a gentleman in Paris,
to his friend in Philadelphia, dated April %,
1926.
"Mr. William West, of Kentucky,
has finished very fine portraits of Mrs.
G. and Miss c. Ihave never seen any
thing more correct or more beautiful.
He has refused 5ool sterling for the
portrait of Lord Byron, and expects
for it, on his arrival in England, one
thousand guineas. He will leave this
city in few days, and establish him
selfin London as a portrait painter.
have been Of use to him in making his
merits known to many distinguished
Englishmen, who assure me that he
shall have their patronage; and they ex-
press their belief that he will soon
realize an independent fortune by his
profession. He is greatly improved,
not only in his taste, but also in genera
knowledge and manners, whilst his mo-
desty and morals remain unchanged"

AFRICAN COLONY.

We have received from Liberia It'd
ings of a consoling nature, so far as
they go. Our intelligence is up to the
26th Of March last, at which time the
inhabitants were in good health and
spirits, and general spirit OF harmo-
ny prevailing. They express their
warmesr gratitude to the Colonization
Society. The surrounding country, TO
the distance Of 100 miles, has been ex-
plored, and is found to be abundant in
opicalproductions, &copiously suppl
ed with streams on which at some future
day manufactures will be founded
The inhabitants have begun already to
make inquiries on the subject Of gold
mines, and to flatter themselves with
the hope that their researches will not
prove unproductive. But this is not
the only subject that interests the emf
grants. Another African writes that
he is busily engaged in the cultivation
of Coffee, and he felicitates himself
this season on the prospect of an abun-
dant crop. The morals OF the people
have much improved-they are engag-
ed in building, ploughing and planting
and there is throughout the colony
what may be called an esprit du corps
they are rejoicing in the idea that
Providence, by the means of such
humble instruments, designs hereafter
to build up great and mighty nation
that they are destined for the advance
guard OF civilization, and that Africa
is hereafter to be recorded in the ar
chives OF glorious history-that she is
to have orators, poets, legislators and
law givers. Ball. I'm.

"MAsoS OF rs" has made his threatened at
tack upon Mr.. Mercer. 1t is sufficiently abu-

previous productions. He acknowledges 1t,
however, to be entirely personal; and al
though he confesses himself ashamed of the
performance, he nevertheless agows himself to
the public, and promises at another time an
argument on the main question. MIR. Leigh

Counterfeit Notes,-we copy the following
communication from the RichmondWhig,t that
our citizens may not be imposed on. The
Wing also speaks of the detection on Satur-
day last, of an extensive system of swindling,
which had been practiced on the citizens of
Richmond, and which had produced on the
public mind the most powerful excitement.
But as the affair is to be made subject of ju-
dicial investigation, no particulars are given.

Saturday last counterfeit note of ten

Georgia Resolutions-As the recorders OF
passing events, we reluctantly give place to
the fanatical, ill.advised and impotent report
of the Select Committee ofthe Georgia Legis-
lature, to whom was referred ! part Of Go
vernon Troup's Message on Domestic affairs
We have seen no parallel to this report,
except in the Message to which it responds;
and we hope, and doubt not, that both will
meet the Just execrations of an insulted peo-
ple. The Hartford Convention will mo longer
be bye-word: the Georgia resolutions are
fairly entitled, and must take its place in the
catalogue of reproaches. The first was Sc
cret Convention, the precise object of which,
though strongly suspected, was never publicly
known: the last amounts to nothing more nor
less than an open declaration of independence
on the Union; and an avowed determination
to support the within with arms. "Haying ex-
hausted the argument" they say, eve will
stand to our arms-and, for the support Of this
determination, zoe mutually pledge TO eneh other
our kres, our fortunes, and our sacred honor. p
They will argue no longer-they must fight.
What consummate folly What an unhallow-
ed use of the sacred quotation which termi-
mates their sublime rant
We beg leave to commend to the consi-
deration Of these valiant gentlemen, the fol-
lowing instructive text:
"The King Of France, and twenty thousand
men,
Marched up the hill-and then-marched
down again"
The commentary will be recognized in the
result of their great design.

GreensJurg, PENN June l7.-HAY
MAKING has commenced in this coun-
ty, and our farmers are busily engaged
in putting up most abundant crop.
The usual time to commence moving,
is about the latst of June, or the first of
July; and this year, therefore, the har-
vest will be over at least 10 or - days
sooner than usual. The fruits Of the
earth, in every quarter from which we
hear, will be uncommonly abundant
What blessing, and yet how few, out
of the thousands who enjoy it, think of
returning thanks to the Supreme Givcr.
The beautiful articles now manufac-
tured from Cotton--thc great variety
of goods into which it is transformed,
and the prodigious increase in the de-
mand, are all favorable to this country;
for though the Southern States may
produce the great mass Of the staple
commodity, yet the money which arises
from its sales, provides itself wings,
and flies over the whole Of the United
States. But Notwithstanding the deli
cacy and beauty of the articles fabri-
Gated for female wear, both by Euro
pean and East India manufacturers in
the present day, they can hardly be said
to compete with specimens Of ingenui-
ty in the last century. Iarernier, who
travelled and wrote about the middle
of it relates, that when Ali Beg, Am
bassador from Persia, returned thither
from the Indies, he brought with him
Cocanut set withspearls, which had
enclosed in it Turban, made OF sixty
ellis of Muslin, so fine, that the cloth
could scarcely be safely handled. What
would fashionabIes of the present day
give for such Gossamer Muslin?

Extraot of a letter from Paris.

"In the political circles here, the
discussions invariably turn upon the
affairs of Greece, and numerous are
the opinions offered-that Of the Court
is much more favorable 10 the indie
pendence of Greece than could be ex-
pected from such priest-ridden princes;
but perhaps it is to that very circum-
stance it is owing: for the priesthood
here imagine, that if France were to
interfere in favor of the Greeks, it
would be an easy matter to introduce
the Roman Catholic faith generally in
Greece, and supercede that of the
Greek Church. 1t is impossible to
give you an idea of the influence of the
Clergy over the King. Charles the
Tenth rises early, and devotes the
whole of the morning before breakfast
TO his confessor, and any priests whom
he may introduce. He then hears

but his sincerity is much doubted by
the clergy. The late king preserved
all the outward forms Of religion, but
he passed his closet hours very differ

French and English newspapers, max

secretaries and attendants, and amusing
himself in obtaining their opinions

MEXICO


The New-York Advocate recently
stated, that there was no truth in the
reports from Mexico, of an intended
invasion of Cuba. The editor is mis-
informed, at least in part. We have
Just conversed with very intelligent
gentleman, particular friend, to whom
we have been indebted for some impor-
tant letters from Mexico during the
late winter, who has just arrived from
.Alvarado and Tampico. He assures
us that the expedition was in state OF
preparation, but there was no doubt
that the chief object was to create a
diversion that would have 4 favorable
effect upon the operations OF the repub-
licans against the fortress of St. John
de Ulloa, which is still held by the
royalists, much to the inconvenience
of the patriots, and the commerce OF
Vera Cruz. The old Don who COM
mands the fortress, is resolved not to
Weld till the last. Immense offers
have been made to buy him oh-but no
adequate inducement could be offered,
and the only mode that can be adopted,
is 10 create the division spoken OF, or
to blockade, with a competent force,
and starve them out. Every thing in
Mexico is improving. Changes are
frequent, but all for the better. The
country is becoming prosperous and
the people contented and happy. Such
are the fruits of freedom.
