Road from Little Rock 10 Fort Gibson
We learn from Col. Brearley, that the
troops have commenced cutting out this
road, and are proceeding rapidly with
the work. Eight miles have already
been completed, and he speaks of il as
being done in very superior manner
Since the foregoing was in type, we
have received a letter from an Officer at
Fort Gibson, dated Cd inst. which states,
that Capt. Butler, Lieut.. Archer, and
50 u. 5. loops, are now employed in
opening the public road from Fort Glib
son to Fort Smith, and it is believed il
will be completed in six weeks. From
thence to Little Rock, the Quarter
Master, Lieut.. Dawson, is instructed to
have it cut by contract"

pondence was commenced between two
vessels at sea, a few DAYS since, On a
curious, and a far as we know a novel
plan and might have been continued, in
all probability, but tor an unfortunate
interruption. A notice Of the circunl-

for conveying intelligence at sea to ships
at a distance.
The brig Francis, Capt. Doughty, OF
this port, and the brig John Wesby, OF
Philadelphia, sailed from Havana on
the 9th inst. and soon parted company.
Four days out, the Frances being in
latitude 50, longitude 10 90, made a
sail, which proved to be the John Yves.

on the rigging of the Frances, with a
note attached to his neck with the fol.
lowing purport:

The crane was immediately secured,
and Capt. Doughty replied as follows:
Capt. Doughty returns his thanks to
Capt Wheeler for his kind wishes, and
adds his w hopes that they may be

While the Captain was below penn

a wing of the bird, with the intention OF

on speaking that vessel some hours after.
he learnt that the Crane had failed into
the water and had been drowned. As
the bird had been three hours on the
wing in his first flight, it is probable that
he flew until it was weary, in search of
land, and then betook itself to the Fran

PORIUGUE, T. LADIES.

The Portuguese ladies', even Of the
highest class, believe, do not pay much
attention to the cultivation of ntellcctual
accomplishments; at least we hear
strange stories of the deficiency Of the
most rudimental instruction among them
We had little opportunity ourselves of
forming m opinion on the fact aud sill
less on that ofthe higher matters OF man
ners and morals; with respect TO which
last we should not place much reliance
on the accounts that are gotten from
others, Tor the bjcct is one on which
there is always exaggoration fesides,

not at least of passing stranger, who
may be well content to worship the out
ward and visible lovelincss Of this class
of objects, without troubling himself
with speculations upon matters, on which
perhaps. we Judge best when we Judge
least. For, after all, the fashions and
habits Of the country, though they affect
not at all the obligation of any one moral
duty, necessarily form material element
in estimating the moral pravity indi-
Gated by the, violation Of it. In the in
stance of women, TOO, there are other
considerations besides those Of mere gal
antry, which should always suggest Il
genler tone Of animadversiom on their
errors. At all times, believe, we shall
find women as tho pruc'ice aud precept
OF the men will allow them to be; their
m"rality, indeed in lis reac tion, exercises
a most momentous influence upon our
own but the tone Of it is always in the
first instance taken from the other sex;
and this circumstance should, in mere
justice, be suffered to tighten a little the
burden of their responsibility. OF their
persons we had abundant means of obser-
vaion; and up TO the last, saw nothing
to change the very favourable impression
we had received on arriving.

vehcmcnce which made me shrink back

here close my hated existence; but to
bear in retirement those stings Of re-
morse with which my gult-sricken con

into silence, and felt no inclination to
renew my endeavors TO avert hlm from

In few days we fell in with vessel

mander of the pirate, to whose attention

course homeward, and his little barque

me;
After pleasant run Of five days we
reached our destined port, and it being
the sabbath d'y on which we landed
my first duty was fulfilled in repairing to
the church and Offering up my grateful
acknowledgements for the signal display
ofthe finger Of Providence in my be-
half; and in which prayer for the un-
fortunate pirate was not forgctton.'
