Quaid- Aboubekhr, had received Major La.
ing into his house, on the recommendation,
of the Sheik-Il- Mokhtar, with whom he had
taken refuge after having escaped the dag
gers of the Hangers. When the Feulahs
presented themselves before Timbuctoo,
nddemanded Major Laing's head, his host,
Gilman Would Quad Aboubekhr, contriv-
ed his escape at night, escorted by several
servants who were supposed to be trustwor-
thy. It unfortunately happened, however,
that one of them of the name of Rehhel,
had been bribed by the Foulahs and this
fellow not only delivered Major Laing into
their hands, but gave him the first stabs
under which he fell. Every body knows the
praises which Denham and Clapperton, in
their narrative published two years ago, be-
slowed on the Sultan Bello, the sovereign
of these very Foulahs who have just assas-
sinated LANG, and Clapperton himself 1t
was relation of the Sultan Bello's Ahmed
Labbon, who repaired to Timbuctoo, on the
arrival of Major Laing. After having &C
complished his immediate object by the as
ssssination of our brave friend, he destroy
>ed the eligarchy in. Timbuctoo, and es-
tablished, as the sole governor of the city,
the very Gilman Would Quad Aboubokhr,
whom we have already mentioned. Poor
Clapperton was murdered at Sakatoo, the
ordinary residence of the Sultan Bello
Notwithstanding the kind reception which
he had experienced from the Sultan on his
first visit. This double perfidity of the AT
rican Prince, by whom these sanguinary
acts have been either ordered or permitted,
and that after having shewn so much attach
ment to the English, appears to have been
simply owing to the distrust created in his
mind by certain individuals, who represent
ed our countrymen as spies sent for the
purpose of ascertaining the best means of
facilitating the conquest of his country.

FIRE. About half past two o'clock on Thurs
day morning last, fire was discovered in the
long two story building, north of the Town
Hall, owned by Mrs. Clarissa Breck, and occu-
pied by several mechanics. That building with
most of its contents, and small shop few feet
from it belonging to Mrs. Abigail Pease, were
consumed.
The greater part Of the property was insured,
and the loss will fall upon the Springfield In
surance Company.

DRUNKENNESS. The following article,
from the Vermont Chronicle, may have ten
dency to arrest the progress of some unfor-
tunate being who is gradually approach
ing the vortex of degradation and misery,
into which thousands have been plunged,
for want of little perseverance in their re-
peated determinations to shun the intoxicat-
ing draught. "Strange," says the Indian,
that man will put an enemy in his mouth
to steal away his brains." And stranger
still that those who feel most acutely the
destructive tendency of Incorporate babits

1t was O'Clock in the afternoon, when
there came along an OK sled, as if return
ing home after having discharged its load.
The sled was drawn by pair of feeble
oxen, and driven by two little boys appar-
emily Of the ages of eight and ten. On the
sled, little transversely, lay at full length,
what seemed to be man--and on closer
view, a man dead drunk. What have you

"who is he % He spoke his name. "Why

further. I" lie drinks too much" he replied,
grief and shame conflicting in his counte-

rassment by urging on at quicker pace
the Unconscious team with their less con
cious load. Reader, pause moment and

ASTONISHING INSTANCE OF VOLCANIC AcTIoN.
The Papandayang, situated on the southwest
ern part of the island of Java, was formerly
lofty volcano, but the greater part of it sunk in
TO the earth, after a short but severe combust-
ion in the year 1772. II is estimated by DR..
Horsfeld that an extent of ground, embracing
the mountain itself and its immediate environs,
fifteen miles long and si1 broad, was by this
commotion swallowed up in the bowels Of tho
earth. Forty villages were destroyed on this
occasion, and two thousand nine hundred gco-
pie perished

DUEL. In Powhatan, Virginia, few DAYS
since, misunderstanding took place between
Dr. Branch T. Archer, of Richmond, and Mr..
Otway Crump, upon which the latter gentle
man sent challenge, which was accepted by
the former. They met in grove about 100
yards from the Court House, all attempts by
mutual friends to adjust the difficulty having
failed At the first fire Mr.. Crump fell and OK
PRED in few minutes. The deceased has left
wife and five children. Dr. Archer has been
bailed. 1t is said he acted with great modera-
tion, made every concession he could with hon
or, and fought with great reluctance The Su-
perior Court was in session, and it is said the
crack Of the pistols 'oas heard by the Judge on
the bench.

JACKSON AND BURR.

Evidence is every day developing, to confirm
the charge against Gen Jackson Of having been
deeply involved in the Burr conspiracy; the
following is an extract ola letter from Captain
Read to the Secretary of War, dated Pitts.
burg, Dec. IL, 1923"
Gen. Drayton and Jackson, of Tennessee,
and one other person, not named to me, are
said to be his burr 81 chief officers and David
Clark of New Orleans, Mr.. Bennerhasset Of
Ohio, and.a Mr.. Aston his son-in-law, all men
of wealth, are among his bankers. The States
of kentucky and Tennessee. are entirely deVot-
cd to Col Burr, and from these States he will
acquire considerable bodies of troops to be kead-
ed by General JacksOn, of the latter, who no
doubt before this has marched with body of
militia under pretence of cooperating with
General Wilkinson against the Spanards on
the Sabine
Was it not this " Drayton" who was urged
b. General jackson on President Monroe as u
s. Secretary of War:
The subjo,ned paragraph, may be considered
as an additional item in the testimony of this
case, and we should think, positive and direct
proof of the nature and extent of his come xon
with Burr might be obtained from the papers
alluded to. 1t is said there persons on the
north branch Of the Susquehannah, in Pennsyl-
vania, who can give information on this subject
which they have had from the mouth of Mrs
ASiOuitcT iiucSGi
Mrs. Blennerhasset an intelligent and
accomplished woman, about FIVE years ago, was
for some months resident in Pennsylvania.
During that time she frequently told her friends
that General Jackson was deeply involved in
Burr's Conspiracy. One day she was seeming
ly elated at letter from r. A. Emmett, Esq,
and said, this brings me joyful tidings of re-
covery of a trunk in which is much Of the cor
respondcnce connected with Burr's Expedition,
and many of Andrew Jacksons letters Among
the papers" said she, f" in that trunk, is check
drawn by Aaron Burr on my husband, for ten
thousand dollars, which check said Mrs BIen-
nerhasset, " ] paid it being endorsed by An
drew Jackson. This money" said she, +" was
drawn TO defray the expenses Of an expedition
connected with Burr's." The conspiracy hav-
ing failed, she said that General jackson was
applied to for the $4,000, but refused TO re-
fsna H."

The Navy. Our naval character has
long been source of just and honorable
pride to the country. From its early career,
when it humbled Barbarian insolence, to
that eventfhl period when it was left to con-
tend with the most formidable power on the
ocean, it has been identified with all that is
glorious in our annals. At this time, when
the prosperity ofour navy, seems to be apro~
inmate object ofthe government, an account
OF Its strength, it is thought, will not be
without interest.
The American Navy consists of forty
vessels: of which there are seven 74's, or
ships of the line seven frigates Of the first
class; four Of the second class, including
the Fulton steam ship; twelve sloops of
war; seven schooners, and other vessels.
The 74's are the independence, Franklin,
Washington, Columbus, Ohio, North Caro-
lima, and Deleware--the frlgates are the
Constitution, United States, Guerrero, ia
va, Potomac, Brandywine, Hudson, Con-
gross, Constellation, Macedonian, and Full
ton-the sloops Of war are the John Adams,
Cyane, Hornet, Erie, Ontario Peacock, Bos
ton, Lexington, Vincennes, Warren, Match
ez, and Falmouth--the schooners are, among
others, the Dolphin, Grampus, Porpoise,
Shark, Fox, Alert, and Sea-Gull. At the
present time, nineteen of the above are in
ordinary, and twenty one in commission.
In addition, five ships of the line, six frig-
ates, and four sloops of war, are now build
ing, and in a state Of forwardness. The
Constitution, United States and Constella-
ton frigates were launched in 1897, and
are the oldest vessels in the navy the Con-
gress and John Adams in 1899; the Hornet
in 1868, from which time till 1913, an inter-
val of ten years, no public vessel was built.
The Macedonian frigate. and Alert sloop of
war, captured in that year, have ever since
remained in the navy. OF the vessels at
sea, the Delaware "a, Java "A, Ontario I8,
Lexington l8, ans! Warren 10, form squad
ron in the Mediterranean, of which the FORM
er is the flag ship. The Brandywne "A, Vim
cennes Is, and Dolphin IL, are in the Paci-
fic; the Macedonian 36, and Boston Is, on
the coast of Brazils; the Constellation SO,
the Hornet l6, Erie Is, Natchez 18, Fail
mouth l8, Grampus IL, annd Shark IL, are
| in the West Indies.

BOLIVAR AND PERU. 1t has for a long
time been suspected that Gen. Bolivar, the
Liherator, as he is called, instead of prov
ing second Washington, name which
has undeservedly been conferred upon him
would turn out a traitor to the cause of
liberty. 1t now appears that he has been
declared Supreme Dictator of the Republic
of Colombia, at Bogota, with full powers to
organize all the branches of government a,
may appear to him the most advantageous.
The annunciation of this fact comes from
the military chief of Venezuela, Jose a.
Pdez, dated July Is, though the act of GER
tain functionaries at the capital comforting
absolute power upon Bolivar, was passed on
the 18th of June. On the Sd July we find a
Proclamation of Bolivar, issued from Bogo-
ia, just in the style of Napoleon Bonaparte..
1t is alleged in the Carthagena Gazette
that the Government of Peru has laid
claim to dominion over three departments
Of Colombia, has endeavored to unite them
to their territory, and has invaded the terri
tory, of Bolivia The same Government
has also prohibited the Colombian Ambassa-
dor from displaying over his residence the
flag of his country. They have insult
ed, in their ministerial prints, the Republic
of Colombia and her President, the army,
and every thing connected with the nation
Accordingly, Bolivar has published a Pro-
clamation, which will be found in this days
paper-and we may hereafter expect to
hear of battle, fought by the respective
forces of Peru on one side, and Bolivar on
the other.-BOSton Erening Gazette.
FRoM COLOMBIA BY the brig Bunker
Hill, Shipman, at New York, in II days
from Carthagena, the Editors of the Journal
of Commerce have received papers to the
18th July. 1t will be seen by the proclama-
ton of Bolivar, that war is on the point of
breaking out between Colombia and Peru:
Proclamation Of Simon Bolivar 10 the people

government of Peru has passed all limits
and broken all the rights of the citizens of b.
iivia and Colombia. After the thousand out
RACES suffered by heroic patience, we have
| been obliged to reply injustice with force.
( The Peruvian troops have entered the CEN
! tire of Bolivia without previous declara-
! ton of war, and without any cause for it.
Such abominahle conduct serves to demon
! strate to us what we must expect from a
/ government which does not recognize the
laws of nations, nor the gratitude which is
due to friends and brothers. To refer to
| the catalogue of the crimes of the Peruvian
government would be too much, and we
could not hear it without loud cry of re-
venge but | do not wish to excite your
indignation, nor renew the pain of your
wounds. | invite you only to arouse against
those wretches, who already have violated
the soil of the Republic, and yet intend to
profane the bosom of the mother of heroes
Let the ColoInhians ofthe South be armed
let them fly to the frontiers of Peru and
wait there the hour of retribution. NV
/ presence among you will be the token for
/ combat Signed.
