We gave, day two since, letter from
Mr. Jefferson to Major Cartwright, extracted
from the memoirs of the latter, lately publish
ed in London. In answer to several inquiries
as 70 who Major Cartwright was, and what his
connection with America, we give the follow
ing account of him, taken from review in the
London Literary Gazette Of these memoirs -
1t will be seen that he has claim on the re-
gard of all Americans. Latterly, he was re-
mark able as being associated, unfortunately for
his fame and influence, with such men as Cob
bett and Hunt, in the cause Of parliamentary
| reform in England.
Major Cartwright was the son of respec-
table country gentleman in Nottlnghamshire,
and entered the navy at an early age. he was
engaged in the action between Lord Hawke
and the French Admiral Contains, and was at
forwards promoted to the rank OF Lieutenant.
He was several years at Newfoundland, whore
he acted as eputy-commissary, and returned
10 England in l77O, at the time when the dis
putes with the North American colonies began
to occupy the public mind. He warmly es-
poused the cause of the colonies, wrote pam
billet in its favor, and gave decided proof OF
his conscientious adherence to principles, by
declining the offer of Lord Howe to become
frst-heutenant on board Of his flagship At
this period he was appointed Major OF the
No1tinghamshire militia, and turned his atten-
ton wholly to politics, which became, IN
great measure, the business OF the remainder
Of his lite.
1t is stated in the Kentucky Argus OF the I'd
instant, that l. B. DEsHA is dying by inches. 1t
is physically impossible that he can recover
from the wound he inflicted on himself. lhe
windpipe is cut entirely asunder, and the ends
have receded, so that they are more than an
inc h apart and cannot now be brought together.
Some of the Liverpool papers have copied from
the Journals the first reports OF Mr.. Randolph S
speeches in the Senate, for the purpose they
say, of letting the English people know the Sc
nator's character in his own country.
The Cheraw Bank is stated IN the norm
Carolina papers, to be in situation deeply al
fectine it's credit. 1t is stated that It's post
notes, checks; and drafts have been frequently
protested in New York, and that holders OF

The proceedings in Congress, for the last
week, embrace but little Of interest; conse
sequently, have been omitted. The Mes
sage of President Adams to the House OF
Representatives, upon the subject OF the
Panama Mission, is said to be one OF the
most able documents ever procuced by him;
and, believing that it will at all times be
read with interest and pleasure, we shall
embrace the first opportunity, and give it a
