week. We have been so much occupied
by business which could not be neglected,
that we have not had time to give them
proper attention. "Rogers" appears to
make strong personal allusions-if SO, he
cannot appear-if not, he will please to in
form US: his hints may be of service to those
to whom they may apply.
In our last, we announced the dissolution
of o-partnership, which heretofore existed
between the Editors of this paper.--It now
becomes necessary for those indebted to the
late firm, to pay some attention to the set
tement of their accounts, that the present
proprietor may be enabled to meet demands
against it. We would wish, particularly
to jos the memories of delinquent subscri-
bers, of whom there are not few. Some of
these, will u" doubt remember that they have
not only failed to comply with the terms Of
subscription, but have paid nathing since the
date of their subscription, which is coeval
with the commencement ofthis paper: conse-
quently, stand indebted for years subscrip-
ton at SIS per year. Wishing to act liber
al part towards these friends, we will again
place them upon the footing OF those whol
have paid in advance; and to those who
may forward by the Goth of the present
month, by mail, (postage paid) fire doilarS,
shall be accredited for the six dollars due.
This we believe will be considered liberal
proposition, and one which will be promptly
embraced. we abhor the practice of dun
ming, and believe it to be as obnoxious to
those to whom it is made, as to he who
makes it; the only means therefore, bv which
we can be mutually freed from any un
pleasant feelings, is a speedy liquidation
of accounts.
All communications upon business, or 9TH
erwise, must be addressed to WIN. A. Men

General Lalemand was thrown from his
gig OH Thursday last, near y. York, and
the shock was so violent as to break his leg,
-Midshipman Charles Il. Shoemaker, of
Philadelphia, was killed by Midshipman
Thoma; S. Wayne Of Savanna Geo, in aIdu
cl, which they fought OH Thursday afternoon
last, near Norfolk. They were both officers
of the U. S. frigatc Constellation, which
lately arrived at that port from the West
Indiss.--An article lately published, and
dated N. Orleans Sept. 4, states that infar-
tion had been brought by gentleman from
[ Mckee, that General Wilkinson was dead
nothing particular was given.-Presi-
dent Adams arrived at Boston, on Wednes-
day evening, 2sth ult. in the steamboat
line. Mrs. Adams health had considerably
improved since leaving Philadelphia.
! CUBA-The New Orleans papers to the
Sd. ult. assert, that from the information re-
Gently received through Il gentleman frot~
( MeXico, there Can be no longer any doubt as
to the intention Oft government of the re-
public to invade Cuba. Three thousand
troops were assembled at Campeachy about
the 1st of August, and 10, 900 more were ex-
pected, when these united forces were to
cross the narrow chanmel that separates Gu
catan from Cuba. To ensure d superiority to
the Mexican Hay in the Gulf, the Asia, "a,
and several frigates and sloops of war had
been placed under the command of Capt.
| Cochran, and it was calculated that the de-
barkment Of 10 or $4,000 disciplined troops
with the aid to be expected from some of
the Crcoles, would be sufficient to wrest
Cuba from the Spaniard , who, it was
thought, would seek revenge on the Creoles
by arming the blacks measure which,
ifthe MeXicans should not succeed, would
probably lead to the independence of the
island under Il government similar to that
of Hayti. Previous accounts seemed to
warrant belief that the proposed invasion
of Cuba would receive the support of Co
lombia. The navy of that republic, it is
stated IN the National lntelligenccr, will
shortly equal, if fnot succeed, that of Mex-
co, as some ships of large class intended
for its service, are now building in the Uni
ted States and in England
81 am sorry" said a Chamberlain to
poor German Count, "to be obliged to quit
your service, having been with you some
years without receiving any wages. =
''Well," said his Lord, 81 know l am in

running on" "'rhat do consider" replied
the Chamberlain; "but am afraid it runs
on so fast that l shall never be able TO over
take it,"
