The Baltimore Patriot, gives as current re-
port, that letters have been received from Mr..
Gallatiu, in which he states that he has not
been able to bring our difficulties with Eng
land in relation to the Colonia! trade to IA
vorable issue.
The Chronicle Of the following morning, re-
marking upon the rumour, says "there is no
doubt on our minds, that when theEngiish Cab
met published the Order in Council, relative to
her West Indian possessions, it was in conse-
auence of determination to try the expert
mcnt, whether her colonies could be independ-
en-, of the trade Of this country, and IL case they
should find that cur trade was not indispensable
TO them, 10 psrse,ere in the policy laid down

We copy from The GENIUS OF LIBERTY OF
Thursday last, the proceedings of a numerous
meeting Of the citizens Of Loudoun county,
Virginia, in relation to the proprie,y OF hold
ing Convention for the purpose Of amending
the defective and oppressive Constitution oil
the State. The proceedings embrace pream-
bic and series of resolutions, repro5a,ing, in
strong terms, the unjust exercise Of power by
the late House Of Delegates, and the equally
unjust operation Of the existing Constitution.
Among the resolutions, all Of which were una
nimously adopted, is one, declaring as the OPT
pon Of the meeting, that "the fallen greatness Of
Virginia and her decay,ng interests are in an emf
nsM degree attributable TO the foct, that her desii
MES are suaysd By small minority Of the people.
This, as Mr.. Richie would say, is compress
sing the whole subject in nut sheil." There
is indeed more important matter for reflection
in this brief sentence, than is generally found
in the most elaborate essays on the subject
That the proposition is true, and tina, il will be
received as truth, by the great body ofthe peo-
nile Of Virginia, we have no manner of doubt.
Richmond, March 2l-On Monday evening
last. we understand that in some difference,
which took place between Mr.. Samuel Park hill
and Mr. James S. Smithers, salesman Of this
city, the former resorted 10 such personal vio-
ience as has seriously endangered the life OF
Mr. Smithrrs. Some remark is said 10 have
been drop, by Mr. p. which touched the feel
ings of Mr.. s. Mr. p. made some apology TO
MIR. S, but the latter was still dissatisfied, and
expressed that dissatisfaction. Mr.. p, became
enraged, struck Mr.. s. down, and in that situa-
lion is said TO have drawn knife and cut the
throat OF Mr.. S. most dangerously. A gentle
man present, attempted to interfere; but SO
blinded was Mr.. .. by passion as TO threaten TO
make push at this gentleman.
When this terrible scene was over, Mr.. p. is
said to have mounted his horse and made his
escape.
We are sorry to understood that Mr.. SIS life
is in very imminent danger; his windpipe being
cut, and his throat distressingly lacerated.
