The U. S: schooner Weazel, Lieut..

India squadron, arrived here yesterday
morning. She was bound to New York,
having on board 900 in specie tor
merchants in that city but encounter
ing adverse winds, endeavored to get
into Charleston, here again being head.
ed off, she bore away for the Chesa-
peake, and prevented by head winds
from proceeding up to Washington,
put into this port whence she will sail
for the last named place, as soon as the
wind favors.
The Weazel has been absent from
the United States more than seven
months, and great part OF the time

left Havana in the Steam Galliot Sea
Gull. on the 9th ult. for Thompson's
Island, where he expected to find Capt.
WARRINeToN, in which case he would
return to the U. States Immediately.
1t was known that captain Warning
ton had sailed from Norfolk in the
Shark, to assume the command OF that
station, but no intelligence OF his arrl'
val on that coast had reached Havana
when the vessel sailed.

to leeward of Matanzas, arrived at
Havana, on the 18th, whence he sailed
on the 9th ult. as stated above on his
return to Key West.
We learn by this arrival, that there
were 60 deaths at Thompson's Island,
including citizens, between the LIST Ju'

The Editor of the National Journal says he
has reason to believe, that the report OF the
King of Spain having demanded ofthe United
States recall of their recognition of South A.
merican independence, is unfounded. We
have never seriously thought otherwise. The
folly was too great, even for degenerate Bour-
bons and the fact of Great Britain having fol-
lowed the example of our government, is, OF
itself, sufficient to put the matter at rest
We nevertheless believe that the existing con-
troyersy, between the two countries, will ter

A proposition has been made in the Senate
of Pennsylvania, for constructing railway

We hope that the present Congress will

goods to the District of Columbia for transpor-

GAS to the other question, upon
which we publish this day such copl-
Gus debates, we do not hesitate to
say, that MIR. Clay has met the charge

less promptitude and open defiance,
are the surest indications Of his inno-
cence. This, combined with the "a
vowals from almost all quarters OF the
House, and the uniform information IN
the last letters from the City, can leave
no doubt of the result of the lnvestiga-
ton. Nor does Mr.. Kremer shrink
but we suspect he will seek to escape
by sort of special pleading, such as
Mr.. McDufie has thrown into his a.
mendment. Be it as it may, the En-
quiry is begun, and it ought to be pro-
secuted with energy. The whole mat
ter should now be probed to the bot
tom. No loop-hole ought to be lett to
hang even a doubt on-for in times
like these, the people will expect their
Representatives not only to be chaste,
but free from all suspicion.
Mr.. Clay is innocent of this charge.
We are fully prepared to see the Com
mittee acquit him of this imputation
of bartering his vote for an Office
Yet, if he does vote for Mr.. Adams,
if he does war so violently with his
own past declarations and those of his
friends, we shall find it difficult to:wit-
ness it without the deepest astonish-
ment and regret. Of all the phenome-

would be the most unexpected and sur

Caution TO Purchasers

The great demand and wonderful success of
this medicine, have induced number Of pers
sons to initiate it in various ways. Some are
selling sarsaparella and other syrups, imposing
them on the ignorant for the Panacea; others
are mixing the genuine medicine with molas-
ses, &c. making three bottles out of one
thus retaining some of its virtues. These imi-
tations and authorizations, have in many instan.
ces, protracted the sufferings of patients in
cases where the genuine medicine would have
proved instantly efficacous. Therefore deem
It duty owe the public, to acquaint them,
that it is impossible, from the very nature Of
its constituents, to be discovered by chemical
analysis; and consequently, that all other mix.
lures represented to be mine and sold as such,
are fraudulent and base impostions, calculated
to deceive the ignorant and unwary. The
genuine medicine has my signature on label
representing Hercules and the Hydra, and my
name on the seal.

any part ofthe world, will receive immc date

and tried almost every remedy commonly en-.
ployed for its cure, with very little If any eE

covered quickly and entirely He related 60.

spoke likewise Of Mr. Swain, personally, acg.
knowledging the generosity which lc had
shown in the distribution Of his medicine to.
the poor, and in the support even Of whole fa.
miles until a cure was effected. The Pfofes.
