+" Roderiek Dhu," is informed that II cannot
gain admittancc to the columns Of this paper.
OF the facts of which the writer speaks we
know nothing; and as they involve the happi-
ness and reputation of family, we should DO
exceedingly sorry to sec them laid before the
public
If Roderck Dhu is OF opinion, that any good
would result from an exposure Of tho affair TO
which he alludcs, there are other channels
than those Of the press, by which they can
find access TO the world, and to these channels
wc commend him. If we knew the facts he
states to be true, VIC would not publish them,
as wc will in no instance consent to become
tho retailers of private scandal. Having said
thus much, it is only necessary to inform our
correspondent, that his essay is at lis service,
and that he can obtain it at any time, by call
ing at this Office.

Mr.. AvERY.-Our readers will probably re-
collect, that we week or two since, publish
cd an account Of the rcputed robbery of a Mr..
Avery, near Hartford Connecticut, of the sum
Of thirty five hundred dollars, and in subsc-
qcint paper, on the authority of the Connccti-
cutt Mirror, contradictcd The story and held
him up 10 the world as an imposicr. Since
then, VIC have scon certificates. signed by sew
cral respectable gentleman Of Verm mt, who
state, that Mr.. Avery, Is man Of unimpeach-
able integrity, and express their entire belief
i'll the truth of his statement. Although these
certificates do not prove that Mr. Avery was
robbed. still they 90 in no small degree, 70
establish tho verify Of his statement, and it is
to do him Justice that VIC make these remarks.
1t is stated, that lie had sufficient property to
pay all his debts, after the robbery, and that
there could be no induccmcnt for him to get
up story Of a sham robbery. This may, and
may not be the fact.

be matter Of as,onishment, although We are
now enjoying the blessings Of peace, that
veteran would rather expose his HE, than'cn-
duro the stigma Of cowardice. Here l "iu
conclude my appeal to an enlightened ana !
trust impartial public. feeling conscious, Una, II
| have not succeeded in removing every inju-
rous suspicion which has been INDUCED in re-
laiion to my conduct in this affair; it is not my
fault
1t will be remembered that Gov. Dcsha, did
make n call on Gov. Carroll of Tennessee for
the surrender of fHouston and White on COM
plant, that they had violated the laws OF Ken
tucky by fighting duel, which ca II was not
complied with. Houston at the time was a
member Of Congress, bat is now governor o

the company Of cquesrians who arc now
performing at our Circus, will take benefit.
The entertainments Of the evening will be un-

will con.rbutc his every effort to crafty the
audience. AS this gentleman has been nj
great Expense in fitting up the Circus, and in
introducing equestrian exercises among us, and
as he sustains the reputation Of an excellent
manager, as well as that Of an irrcproachablc
private citizen, We confidently hope and expect,
that those who have SO often been amused
with the performances Of his company, will at
tend, and give rea, evidence of their disposit-
ion TO encourage and reward deserving merit
Wo would also call tho attention of the lovers
OF equestrian exercises, and the sports Of the

From 81. Croir.--From Captain Clark OF
the ship Jupiter, (says the Ncw-York Gazctte)
VIC learn that severe gale was experienced AT
st. Crox on the I7th ultimo. The brig Olive
& Sarah, at the west end, ready for sea, with
a full cargo ofrum and sugar, was driven ashore,
and the vessel and cargo were totally lost
crew saved. The brig william, Crane, of Bos-
ton, cargo discharged, was driven ashore and
lost-crew saved. The schooner Henry went
ashore at tho west end, but got Off without
damage. The ship Pacific, Captain Richards,
had also been ashore, and lost her rudder.--
The gale lasted ten hours, and was more Sc
we're than any that had been experienced at
St. Croix in forty years. Much damage was
done to tho buildings on tho plantations and all
the carly part Of the crops destroyed.
At st. Thomas, as far as had been learnt,
little or no damage had been sustained
The gale had also been felt at Porto Rico,
but the extent of injury had not been ascertain
cd.

u BosToN COMMERCIAL GAZETTE
Our compliments TO the worthy Editor Of the
Boston Commercial Gazette, and we ask per-
mission to request, that when he means " Cat,
he will say Cat.' Although he does not d-
rectly make use Of the name of this paper, VIC
arc not so dull rs TO misunderstood his lam
guagc, and VIC arc sorry, that he should deem
it necessary to charge us, by implication, with
narrow-tnindedEess and bigotry.
We did take exceptions to the department of
the Ncw-Iork Statesmen, in dressing its col
rlnns in black, as a testimonial of its deep re-
gret for the demise Of the Right Honorable
George Canning, and those objections have
no. been removed. In the thing, there was a
mixture of idolatry, added to strong dispo-
sition TO worship men--and Of all things good
Heaven preserve us from nan-worshippng
II the practice Of putting papers in weeds
for the demise Of eminent Englishnncn, is in
troduced to this country, the time will soon
come, when tho American press, will be call
Cd upon to weep for the death Of some noble
Lord, or departed Countess, who cares as
little about US, as VIC do about the habitants
Of the moon. Beside all this, there is a spc-
cics Of servity aud sycophancy about the
thing, which 10 plain republican can boar
and which is rcpulsivc to our sentiments
Englishmen would not thank US for it, and
they look upon tokens Of respect which como
so dog-chcap. with q contemptuous smile, and
suppose that they are offered, from disposi-
ton to beg the good graccs of Britain. We
ash nothing Of England, and as for courting
her good graces by tho adoption of sycophail-
tic artss-the idea is prepostcrous and rcpuI-
sivc. We are not at all surprised, that the Edi-
tor Of the Gazette should approve Of the con-
duct OF the Statesman, since his warm alta CHI
mcnt TO the "mother country" is generally
known and universally admitted. But since
he is SO fond Of man-worshipping, it is passing
strange, that he did not prevail upon his pub.
fishers to adopt course, which we suppose
he thinks is worthy Of "aH initotion!''
