1t is a subject of satisfaction to us to
see the naval power of Great Britain
and that Of our country, acting in
concert for the purpose of extermina-
ting those marine banditti, which have
for some time been so fatally successful
in their depredations on human life and
property. Such cooperation is The
best, because the most characteristic
introduction to an intercourse between
the gallant officers and seamen of both
nations; and out of such an intercourse
we believe great good will must flow.
The American navy, by its conduct in
war, has acquired the respect TO the
world; and we have no doubt that, in
peace. it will exhibit the faculty of re-
tanning that respect. Generous feelings
will also be the natural result of coop
Grafton in such a cause as that which has
now demanded their joint exertions.
There is a common interest between
them TO extirpate the enemies alike of
both countries; independent of that
spirit of emulation which naturally ari-
ses out of tompanionship in conflict.
And if, 10 the ardour ofpulsuit, any
momentary and unprecedented i%nnova-
ton ofthe rights of other nations should
be committed, it may not be one Of the
least advantages arising out of such a
cooperation, that the responsibility of
the act would be shared by a nation pos
sessing such power and influence as.

The West Point Lyceum Of Natural
History.-This Socity was instituted and
organized in 1922. by an association of
cadets and other gentlemen, under the
direction of the superintendent Of the
United States Military Academy. Its
meetings regularly held on the FIST Sa-
turdays Of every month. The Society
is yet IN comparative infancy, but it has
already made rapid progress to utility,
and it will soon merit distinction. The
activity of its members, aided by the
honorable exe:tioas of its learned pa
iron, DIR. j. Torrey, has already col
lected an extensive cabinet of minerals,
fossils, and other specimens of s%cienti,
nc research: the library is fast increas-
ing: the constitution has been framed
and handsomely printed, and some of
the most distinguished men Of our coun-
try in science and the arts, have been
admitted as members. Its local situa
ton is fortunate, and highly to the adj
vantage of the scciety.-N. Y. Gaz.

Literary NogeAiss.-The venerable
author of the Man of FEELING, Henry
Mackenzie, is at present engaged on an
~autobiogl aphical work, which cannot
fail to be eminently interesting TO the
literary world. Except Bentham, Mr..
Mackenzie is, we believe, the oldest
living author in Great Britain. john
son, Goldsmith, Gibbon, Reynolds, are
all within his recollection, and in his
own country, the great names of the
Gregories, Beattie, Cullen, Reid, the
Monroes, David Hume, Robertson, A.
dam Smith, Blair, Kames, Tyler, Mon
boddo, Black, Logan, and many others,
must all be familiar to him as household
works. Mr.. Mackenzie, notwithstand-
ing his great age, is as fully in posses
sion of all his facilities as he was at five
and twenty: and as his latter years have.
been passed among the highest literary
characters of our own day, sucha work
as his connot fail to De one of the most
interesting ever published.

In the British House of Commons, on
The sIst ult. while discussing the supply
bill. for 1926, Mr.. Hume objected to the
item of 6,47ol 12s. Cd. for carrying into
effect certain articles of the treaty of
Client, between Great Britain and the
United States. In reply to some OBJ
iections which Mr.. Hume made, Mr..
Canning rose to explain, and observed
that
america claimed from this country
compensation from some property, of
which she alleged that a part of Ameri-
ca, which could not rightly be consider
ed to be at war with this country, had
been deprived. 1t was agreed upon
that any difference that might arise or
the article which guaranteed this COM
pensation, should be referred to the En-
peror of Russia. A disputed point did
arise; a reference according to the terms
of this convention, was accordingly
made, and the decision was against this
country. 1t was to adjust the payment
of this debt hat the Commissioners lad
been appointed; it had made consider
able progress. The Information which
was the cause of its information only
reached this country year before last;
and although he could not undertake
TO say that this was the last time that he
should have occasion to renew this APP
plication, yet he hoped it was the last
but one he should have occasion to do

for which he has received a patent. 1t
consits in obtaining from animal sub

FROM CHILI.--Few events of a

than those of which we have accounts,

bad so long cast around them, to the
MONDAY light which illumines the

SANTIAGO, DE Chill, Jan. 10.
"The Congress of Chill have been
in session about six weeks in this capt.
tai: for the first month little or nothing
was done Of interest for the last fortnight
their proceedings have been more in
teresting. The Constitution was decla-
red to be null and void on the 29th ulti-
mo. Since then, they have been deba-
ting upon An augmentation of the army
to 5000 men; the imposition of a direct
contribution; the doing away Of the IL
ties, Alcavala, &c.-and | am assured,
from good authority, that before they
adjourn an acI will be passed granting a
complete religious liberation such a
measure would certainly form a gIo-
rious climax to their proceedings. Chi
loe is still in possession of the Eoyalists
and causes some uneasiness TO the gov
eminent in that quarter. Mr.. Allen

obtain a treaty of alliance, offensive snG

is well known, declined the proposal.
We are nov furnished, by the Royal

on which the refusal was made. The
answer of the Government of Colon
bla states
J.. That, as the Government of Hay
ii had allowed only twenty days for its
Minister to obtain this treaty, the time
we too short to discuss, much less to
decide, a question of SO much impor-
lance.
2. That a treaty If alliance, offensive
and defensive, might expose the Repub-
lie of Colombia to a contest with

DR.. SAMUEL PARR, Ill. D.-The
death of this eminent scholar, on the 9th
ult. is announced in the English papers.
From the year 1850, (when he COM
menced his literary career by the publ
cation of two sermons,) till a late peri
cd, he frequently Employed his pen on
critical, political, and theological sub
iects. His Belleadenus de Statu, and
Preface, sc. and Character of the late
Mr.. Fox, in two octave volums, pub
lished under the name of ~Philopatris
Varviciensis,) are his most distinguished
works. He was celebrated as a Greek
scholar; and in his time associated with
all the great and learned among his Bri-
fish contemporaries. His age was nearS0.
Considerable excitement still c%ontin-
ues in Kentucky, respecting the two
Courts of appeal. twill be recollected
that by a law of the State Legislature,
the old Court of appeal was d%isorgani-
zed, and a new one constituted. The
books, records, papers, Sc, in the pos
session ofthe Old Court, have been for
chilly seized by the officers Of the new
one. Both Courts, however, assembled
at Frankfort, at the commencement of
the spring term-the new Court meet
ing on the list of April, authorized by
the late act; and the old Court assem-
bling in the Church lately occupied by
the House of Representatives, without
salaries or Legislative authority. In this
state of things, a humber of the distin-
guished lawyers of the State, among
whom we perceive the names of Messrs.
Hardin and White, (late members of
Congress,) and Messrs. Bib and Oar.
by qualified, and were admitted to prac-
tee in the new'Court, in the mean time,
adjourned to the first Monday of Octo-
Der, without deciding on the cases which
remain before that Court; or, on the
other hand, forming any act Of acquies-
cence in the legislative appointment of
the new Court. The excitement pre-
abroad on the subject may be
gathered from the circumstance of one
grand Jury having presented the major
ity of the Legislature for disorganizing
old Court, and creating new and adj
litional Judges; of another, having pre-
sented both the Governor and the ma
iority of the Legislature; and of a third
presented the new Court itself.
1t will give us sincere pleasure TO learn
that these unfortun" e differences have
died away, and that a feeling of harmo-
ny is restored to the State.-AGt. Jouy.

Extract from a letter OF wfLLIaa 7. BRkxx
Member OF the House Of Representatives. to
the editor of the Attskabus, nou.O Gazet,r
dlted Washington Feb. 9th, 1925.
II have only time 10 say 10 Won that
Mr.. Adams is this moment elected Pre-
sident of the United States. Thirteen
states voted for him upon the first BAL
lot-seven voted for Gen. jackson. and
four for Mr.. Crawford. Gen. jackson
could not have been elected under anv
circumstances. Had the friends of Mr.
Crawford abandoned him they would
have gone to Mr.. Adams, which would
have swollen his vote to seventeen-
Louisiana voted for Mr.. Adams-Mr.
Gurley and myself being for him, and
Mr.. Livingston for Gen. jackson. We
dld this from mature reflection. and
for reasons which satisfied us that the in
terest OF Louisiana required it, and which
we have no doubt will satisfy all the
friends ofGen. jackson. AS to .1yself.
my mind was made up as regards this
subJectt tor sometime. and feel n conso.
lation in declaring that | feel that the
vote gave upon this occasion has aided
in e%lecting so able and worthy a states
man to the presidential chair, at the
same time that it conceded with my l.
IDEAS OF those principles, which ought
always to govern, in selecting men for
50 distinguished a civil station. Had
the choice been for a military purpose.
my views might have been different
these were not my only reasons, I had
others which were stronger and conclu-
sive to my mind, that the relative stu
alton OF Louisiana irresistibly pointed
to the choice we made.
Mr.. Scott, it seems, is condemned hy
the adherents Of jackson, for Uotiag
contrary TO tie 'oishes ofhiS gconstituents.
Who knows that a majority of the cit
liens Of Missouri would not approve
OF Mr.. SCOTS vote under the circum-
stances? We believe the rejecting part
of the community are we'll satisfied. A
most distinguished statesman has been
elected to the Presidency, and one who
has given a pledge that the interest of
the West will not be neglected, in ap-
pointing to the cabinet one of the most
illustrlous sons of the West. Disap-
pointment will mutter for a time, but
will soon be hushed. How Col. BEN
ton knew that Missouri demanded Jack
son, we are at a loss to discover. Did
not Col. Benton make great exertion
with the members of our last Legisla-
ture, to persuade them not to vote for
Barton as United States Senator; and
did ne not then well know that the peo-
pie OF Missouri demanded the election
of MIR. Barton was, in that instance.
found in a direct opposition to the peo-
ple.-B.

Evansville, ONO, April 6. = On
Saturday last, the body of Mr.. JAMES
ROBERTS was found in the Muskingum
about IL miles below town. He had
been missing since the morning of the
18th March, at which time it is supposed
be was drowned in attempting to cross
the river, having borrowed a canoe in
West GAINESVILLE, for the purpose. The
Jog being very dense that morning, so
much so, that the opposite bank of the
river could not be seen, is conjectur-
ed that he was swept by the current
into danger before he was aware of it
and precipitated over the dam.
