PANAMA.--The Congress at Panama, will
probably be assembled early in June, and contain q
full representation, from all the South American
provinces, as well as from this country.
The suggestion Of President Adams, in his late
message, to send delegates to this interesting assem-
bly,, has called forth all the malice and sarcasm of
an unpriucipled opposition, who seek to weaken his
administration, and to throw the country into con-
fusion, by acts unexampled in the history of lesi,-
lative body.
The ~propriety of sending delegates, to consult
with the South American provinces, in relation to
the adoption of steps to preserve the prevalence Of
liberty throughout the whole American Continent:
is readily admitted by the great body Of republican,.
in this country and had not the subject been sug.
gested by MIR. Adams, it il next to certain that those
who now oppose the appointment Of delegates,
would have blasphemed and denounced him as a
political hereto, because he did not accept Of the
invitation of the South American provinces to meet
with their proposed Congress. So much for the
sincerity and l~iberality Of a faction, got up for the
purpose Of introducing confusion into the nation-
a faction whose motto is oppose the administration

the mission has net yet passed the House of Repre-
sentatives, but as the administration is strong in
that body, no fears are entertained for its success.
Most, if not all the delegates from the South A.
merican States have already assembled at Panama,
and only wait the arrival of the American Commits
sioners, to commence their deliberations. These
facts are derived from authentic sources, and arc to
be relied on, although they may not be known ito

journey.
Afflicted with that dreadful. diseuse, the con-

bears his pains and anguish, without 4 murmur
or a complaint.
Anxious to deposit his body, when he shall bid
the waking world good night" with the ashes Of his
fathers, he is slowly vending his way to the place
Of his nativity. Surrounded by distress, he asks
not aid; but the admirers of his genius, and those
who sympathize in his misfortunes, solicit at the
hands of the benevolent, little Of this worlds goods
to aid him in the progress of his pilgrimage.
Few men have contributed more largely or more
freely to the American press than he has; few have
written better poetry and fewer still have more

SATURDAY EVENING APRIL %.

We this evening present for inspection
and for patronage, the first number of the
LITERARY CADET and SATURDAY
EVENING BULLETIN. The design
of getting up the Cadet, was hastily con-
%.ceived, and as hastily carried into execu-
ton, and if it should, on an examination,
be found defective, we can only remark
by way of apology, that having been allow
ed only a week to organize the underta-
king, we have necessarily laboured under
some disadvantages. Several Literary
Periodicals, ordered at the onset of the
paper, did not arrive till it was too late to
make use Of them, and not being favored
with an exchange of newspapers, we have
been compelled to make up our pages in
the best manner our limited resources would
afford. But without more ado we send
to the world, the Cadet, with the exclama-
ton Of Southey, ego little work and find
thy friends" and ask those alone to patron
ize the undertaking, who may approve Of
our labors, and fire. ely aid our enterprise.
In a few days a gentleman will wait upon
the community to receive their signatures,
and in the mean time we solicit our friends
to place their names to our prospectus.

tradict' in the Alexandria Gazette, the report, that
Mr. Vice President Calhoun, denied him the privi-
lego OF speaking on a resolution laid on the table,
and suffered Mr.. Randolph to speak at length on
the same occasion. This report, coming as it does
from MIR. Dickenson himself, cannot be doubted,
and for the credit Of the United States Senate, and
its presiding officer, we rejoice that it has been
made.

Richard Henry Lee, as a revolutionary advocate,
and did much as public speaker, in awakening the
people Of the colonies, to a sense Of their degraded
and deplorable condition. But as his sphere ~ofaction
was confined to the narrow limits Of his native
State, he failed to secure 10 himself that fame which
now fingers around the memory Of his Contemporary
partizans.
At the close of the war, and about the time Of
the organization Of a separate polity for the north
western territory, he migrated to that region, and
settled himself at Point Hsrmer, ON the west side Of
the Ohio, at lis junction with the Mus kinsum,
opposite Marietta, and there closed. at an early
time in life, a career distinguished for its brilliancy
and usefulness. 1t is said by those who knew him
best, and were acquainted with his designs, that he
emigrated to the west, with an expectation of re-
ceiving the appointment of Governor Of the North
western Territory. But soon after his arrival in
that region, General Arthur st. Clair, was APP
pointed tothe government of the territory, thus de-
stroying the hopes and prospects of General Yer
non. Conceiving himself neglected by General
Washington, and Disguised with "a life which had
been rendered tedious, by ous disappoint-
ment., he became disheartened and melancholy,
