HENRY CLAY. A writer in the Ma
tioaal Intelligenccr. indulgng in some reAc c.
tions on the death of Mr.. Canning, has, very
justly, compared him with Mr.. Clay, and with
equal justice, ascribes to the Secretary of
State, all ,he attributes which were allowed
to the British Premier. For his ndepend-
ence, and hardlhood, however, it is not un-
likely, that the writer, will be openly and vc-
hcmcntly assailed by the e"man-,corshipping"
presses;-by those individuals, who whilst
they are engaged in the very lauda5ie busi-
ness, of traducing their own countrymen, with
pleasure, worship Englishmen-the enemies of
this republic. And it is not little singular,
that certain presses, which pretend to be de-
voted, exclusively to the 4" home protecting
SYSTEM wander from their own shores to those
of old Albion, to worship Canning or Cas-
tlcreagh, and suffer their own countrymen TO
be reviled and traduced The conductors of
those presses of the United States, which pre-
tend to advocate the home poiicy," should,
for the sake of consistency, attempt to pro-
tect, and defend native talent, before they
wander across the ocean, to worship the dis
tinguished men of Britain. The home pro-
tecting Systcm,' is not confined to the mere
manufacturer of fabrcks, it takes wider
range, and includes the protection of native
genius.

DIsruRBANcEs.-wec cheerfully give pl ace
TO the annexed communication, forwarded US
by patron, and arc very sosry to say, that
the evil of which he complains, has long ex-
isted, to a most vexatious extent:
Mr.. Editor.-I would crave your attention
for few moments, upon a subject, respecting
an evil, which however small il may appear,
is certainly one Of great Importance. The evil
alludc 10, is that Of firing muskets, pistols,
crackers &c. in night end morning preoed-
ing the General Muster. On the night of the
l4th inst. about eleven O'Clock was aroused
by the report Of a musket directly under my
window, which was soon followed by that Of
another, and from that time till sunrise, | was
unable 10 obtain a moments sleep in consc-
quence of the discharge Of muskcts should
not however have made the complaint, but
when see person stretched upon a sick bed,
and that person female, with scarcely strength
enough TO raise hand, annoyed by parcel
of unfeeling wretches, humanity compcls me
| to il That such persons should be allowed
thus to transgress the laws Of the State, and
cndangcr the property, and (where sickness
prevails) the lives Of tho citizens, is really a
pity. Ifthere is any authority think it ought
TO be exercised to suppress this growing evil.
am yours &c. a SUBSCRIBER.
misunderstanding our correspondent, hun
dreds have complained Of the noise and dis
charge of muskctry, which were heard on the
night preceding the annual Review, TO the no
small annoyance of the town; and il is to be
hoped, that similar annoyance will not occur.
Those who were engaged in getting up, and
continuing the disturbance, were probably
young men, who, equally thoughtless and re-
gardless of the consequences resulting from
their nocturnal frolickings, kept them up till
the approach of morning, thus deprving hun
drods of their rest, and adding fresh pangs TO
the dis;rcsses of those who were prostrated on
beds Of sickness. In the neighborhood Of our
place Of residence, an aged gentleman, labor
ing under a nervous fever, was so sadly injured
by the disturbances Of the night, that much
anxiety is entertained for his recovery and il
is seriously apprehended, that the annoyances
Of the night have sealed his fate. We arc
aware that those who indulge in these midnight
frolicks, are not actua,cd by any bad motives
and would not, for worlds, anndy those who

to themselves, they are giving pain to others
but it is hoped that they will hereafter be a
little more consderate, and abstain from the
evil, of which our correspondent so justly COM

Go- PoLITIcAL.'--For a week or two past
we have purposely abstained from political dis
cussion, and this we have done, because we
have been weary with political affairs, and have
contentod ourselves with being mere lockers
on" If we had exercised our privilege, and
wrote on the subject of the approa ching Presi-
dental election, it is not certain that VIC should
have done the cause any good; perhaps we
might have done il an injury.
We are led to these remarks, by reason of
an observation Of friend Of ours, who accused
u.s. OF " iuhe,carnness" in the cause, and said
that he was fearful that we would abandon the
Administration For his information, and for
the information of all who may feel interested, -,
wo deem it very proper to remark, that we
nave the most entire confidence in the Admin
istratlon-that we shall stand or fall by It, and
that we have not doubt of the reelection of
Mr.. Adams. But as our eighteen months
siege at political affairs has fatigucd us, we
hope we shall be excused for so long emitting
political discussions, when we promise they
shall be resumed, whenever it may appear
necessary that we should resume them.

G5- MELANcHoLY.--Tbc last Nantucket
Inquirer affords a melancholy account of the
hardshps and iatIgucs endured by two young
children, natives Of the Island, who srayed
from their homes, and were destitute of food
for fity-s'x hours. When found, one of them
was so exhausted, that he died IN a few Lours !;
the other is likely to recover. In closing the
account, the Inquirer.says "It Is thought that

accomplished and humane compeer, the good

AS the writer of the annexed note, probably
intended it for publication, we give il place
in our columns, first for the purpose OF crafty
ing her, and secondly for the purpose of giving
to it distinct reply.
Mr. EDIroR 1T is with extreme impa-
tlencc that wait the conclusion Of that very
interesting tale commenced some, NOT a few
weeks since by you, entitled Henry O'Con-
ner," and which l cannot but ina gipe you
have forgotten; at least, there can be no harm
in reminding you that such tale remains un.
finished; and if you will publish the remaining
part Of il as soon as you can make it conven-
lent, you will CRAFTY at least the female part of
your readers. In the mean time you will please
TO receive this kindly as a memento from
SUSAN.
REPLy.-It becomes us to inform " Susan, -
that We had abandoned the idea of completing
the tale to which she alludes, and had deter
mined mover 10 publish another story, during
our lives; but that so kind and flatterng a call
as she has made, almost inclined us like hon
est Benedict, TO change our minds. II is pos
siblc that wo may do so; but if we do not, VIC
promise Susan, that she shall have the manu-
script Of the story. Had it not been for the
perplexitcs we have endured, since We COM
mcnced the O'Connor tale, it would have beep
completed ere this, and the curiosity of Susan
and the sistcrhood generally, would have been
gratiiied. We have been literally tormented
our worthy friend Capt. GruG, who reads moth
ing but politics, secuted the story, and won
dercd why We would occupy our paper with
such wrctchcd stuff; the signing widow Cheer
less, was Mortified because it did not como TO
a speedy nclusion-Rosabclla, vowed it was
shame that one should write story founded
on facts, without giving up the names of the
real Parties;-Aunt Hannah, sullenly laid her
spt ctaclcs aside and said that the story was a
'peshy" novel, wrote just to draw the minds
Of the girls from the bible, and pronounced 1t
an abomina'ion in the eyes of the Lord. Timo-
thy Cockloft the Billy Lackaday of the times
and the critic Of the age, declared 'pon honor,
the story was fiat and senseless and the author
of it an idiot. Thus situated, and found fault
with by some, and laughed at by others, and
finding that we got more kicks than coppcrs
for our labours, We at last resolved TO abandon
o'Connor, and let the story go TO the d.
Bat if our patrons will suffer us TO have our own
way, and write and publish the story when we
please, it shall be completed; if they will not
grant us thus much, they must take the thing
in its present condition that's all.

artless, and bewitching; and We arc inclined to
believe the report, since she has called forth
the strains of a New-York Poet, who thus ad-
dresses her:

Making US laugh and making us cry
Whether we're willing Or no
But you'd heter take oare-or old Abion's shore
You mus: make up your mind to visit no more
For we never shall let you go
How came johnny Bull to lc, you come here;
Was he tired Of laughing and crying.
Or was Mrs Bull jealous of you little dear
When she found twas for you he sigaing.

AZ you caught Johnny Bull, would you catch ii. tooI
You're mistaken Miss F.her-for we'll catch YOU
Aud we never shall let you 20.
We hope that the New-Yorkers will not
spoil Miss Fisher, and whilst they lavish their
encomlums upon her, they should remember
that many fair one has been spoiled by the
too gross adulation Of partial friendship.
