unusually numerous, and animated with the

The Evening Post has lately new vamped the
old story Of The bargain between Messrs. Adams
aud Webster, without particle of additional
proof. Since the disappointment Of the jack
sonan. that Webster was not sen: to England
and the lie which was given to the story Of this
bargain, we have not heard one word Of it. But
thinking that il may be by this lime forgotten,
the Post again produces il, with he addition of
the hearsay testimony of another anonymous
witness. The Enquirer, as matter of course,
repeats the SANDERS which Coleman declares is

MIR. ALLEN, Of Mass. whose twelfth year OF
service in Congress will expire on the fourth of
March next, declines reelection. The re
tirement Of such a.man from the public coun-
ellis must BE- a loss 10 the nation as we'll to his
immediate constituents. Mr.. Allen is not an
os,enlatious man; he has no ambition for dis
play; but has exercised, through life, sound and
discriminating judgement. In his political Ca
reer he has manil' sed tn firmest independence
and most Incorporating homes of charac-

is little unfortunate, however, for his arith-
metic, that no one knows the precise age Of the

Other lands have boosted OF the patriotism
Of their men aud women, but Americans hav,
been comparatively silent. There are many in
dividual instances Of the heroic ardour of ou
people during the revolution, which would tel
well IN history, but are left 70 lipger in The re-
collection Of succeeding generations. The fol
lowing from the new work entitled "The SIP,
Unmasked," exempllhrs one among the many
striking examples Of ,ha love Of liberty and un.
daunted spirit, which chara ierised our coun,
trywomen in the War OF Independence.
GA good lady-we knew her when she had
grown olc-n l775 lived on the sraboard, abou
a days march from Bos on, where the British
army then was. BY some unaccountable ac-
cident, rumour was spread in town and coun
try, in aud abou' theic, that the regulars were
on fall march for that place, and would pro
b,blv arrive in three hours at far!hrst. This
was az er the battle Of Lexington, and all as
might be well Supposed wa, in sad confusion
some were boiling with rage and full of fight

pie in some way or other, were frigh ened from
their property, our heIuinr, who had Two sous,
one about Hineteen years of age, the other about
sixteen, was seen by our informant, preparing
them to discharge their duty. The eldest she
