COL. GADsDEN.

81. Augustine, Dec. 2s.-We have
heard from this enterprising gentle
man., who, under authority Of an act
of Congress, proceeded some time
since, with small detachment south
ward, TO explore route to Cape Flo
rida with the view to laying out pub
lie road along the coast. Lieut.. Des-
penville, and Mr.. L. Gibbs, attached to
it, have Just returned and report that
the party penetrated 200 miles south
as far as ST. Lucie, the outlet OF Indian
river, amidst many severe Obstacles
Ofthe party consisting of IS, nine were
taken sick, two of whom died. Col
Gadsden himself escaping, he suppos,
es, because of his extreme anxiety Of
mind. He is now at Tomoko, where
he is recruiting his men and proposes
again to set out about the 10th OF jan
uary.

President Monroe, in his late message,
states the national debt Of the United
States to be 80 millions of dollars,
which is less than 20 millions ofpounds
sterling. The annual expenditure Of
Great Britain is near so millions--the
revenue, this year, more than so mil
lions sterling, almost three times the
amount of the American debt. Their
whole debt, the President says, will
be discharged in the course Of 10 years,
without any additional taxes. The y.
States, we believe, never before stood
in so favorable situation, in respect
to their finances Upper Canada Her.
We stated in former number that
General Victoria had been elected Pre-
sident, and General Bravo Vice-Presi-
dent Of the Mexican Republic. In the
United States General Jackson seems
likely to be the President, having more
electoral votes than any Of his compe-
titors, although not majority OF the
whole; and their Secretary OF War is
elected Vice-President. From these
recent instances of popular elections,
military candidates appear to be favor
ties with republican electors, notwith-
standing all their jealousy OF official
power. lod.

seen the signatures, upon sheet OF
parchment, of one hundred members
of the New-York bar, including all the
leading councillors and practitioners,
each pledging his professional services

A WARNING TO THE NTEMPERATE.
A man by the name Of Hugh John
son, yesterday morning went into the
grocery store Of Mr.. Richard Roberts,
Of this city, and after taking drink
laid himself down upon a bed in an adj
Joining room; where he remained some
time without being noticed. A few
hours afterwards, some one going up to
him, discovered that he was dead ! An
inquest was called over him, whose ver-
dict was, that he came to his death
from excessive intoricafion We learn
that he had, for some years, followed
gambling as profession. He died
without a cent in his pocket.

pears from this statement, that there
are one hundred and sirty-one, with an

have no knowledge of the fact, but pre-
sumo that most of them are doing a
profitable business. We do know, how

10 entering upon our new career, and soliciting
an addition to our already respectable subscription
list, we deem il proper to make the following brief
outline OF the course which we intend to pursue.
The politics Of the Waterman will remain, as they
always have been, strictly Democratical; and it
VIII ever be found amongst the strenuous advocates
ior the peoples rights. With the exception OF
controversy about religious opinions, its columns
will be open to free discussion Of any subject cal
culated to interest or enlighten the minds Of the
public. In granting this liberty, we wish it to be
distinctly understood, that with US, private charac
ter will be held sacred.
Our utmost exertons will be used, to lay before
our readers, without delay, such foreign and domes.
tic intelligence as may be particularly important to
the farmer, the merchant, the mechanic, & the man.
ulacturer; or interesting TO the public generally.
We shall endeavor to deserve the smiles of the
Fair, by devoting a portion of our paper to their
amusement and instruction.
We would state, in conclusion, that we feel de-
termned to make every effort in our power, to sat-
isfy patrons and we flatter ourselves that all
who welcome the WATcHMAN to their homes, will
find him an agreeable guest.

FOR THE WhTcHMAN.

period has arrived when it is necessary for the in
habitants OF New Castle County to declare whether
they will be content to submit to the mandates Of
arbitrary power; whether they will be content to
have the voice OF their Representatives spurned in
The General Assembly, and themselves burdened
with oppressive measures. Before the middle of
May. our Hundred Collectors will be called upon
to say, whether they intend to undertake the COL
lection of the State Tax, so odiously imposed upon
this County by the State Legislature; and from the
imperfect expression of the public will upon this
subject, they at loss to know, whether, good
citizens or good public servants, they ought to at
tempt this unpleasant part of their official business
Therefore notice is hereby given to the inhabitants
of New Castle County, without party distinction,
for this is no party question: that meeting wiH
be held at the Rea Lion Iarern, on Saturday the
seventh Of May nert, at 10 O'Clock A M. for the
purpose of giving such istructons to the different
Hundred Collectors, as shall at that time be agreed
upon 1t is hoped and believed that the meeting
will be large and respectable. a Citizen.
