BUENos AEREs. The National! Gazette
says-A friend has put into our hands,
Buenos Ayres papers to the 18th of Aug.
inclusive. The Gaceta Mercantil, of that
date, congratplates the republic on the dis
person of all the clouds which biacken the
political horizon, and proclaims that the new
ministers would make every effort to re-es-
tablish order and prosperity. The revenue
yielded by the custom house of Buenos
Ayres in the month of July, was nearly
$65O,000 and the receipts down to the
10th of Aug, were proportional. From

\ l.l212c Il. acting of sae1ats- s.as held
on Tuesday evening in the Brick Church.
Beekman-steet, John Watts, NJ. ID. one of the
Vice Presidents in the chair. -----
After short address by the Rev. Mr.. He
wit, explaining the objects Of the meeting
Hugh Maxwell, Esq, District Attorney for
this city, offered the first ofthe resolutions be-
low, which he supported in a very powerful
and eloquent address. Having been brought.
he said, in the discharge Of his official duties
into constant connexlon with the courts. he
was prepared to say, that the number of com
plants presented in the city for criminal often
ces, was not less than 5000 perannum; three
fourths of which had their origin in intemper-
ance. The number of parties was of course
10000. There were on an average six wit
nesses to each case; $4,000 in all more than
half ofwhom were under the influence of in
toxicating liquors, at the time the occurrences
took place, concerning which they were called
to certify. He had assisted in twenty trials
for murder, and was satisfied that eUery one of
the perpetrators committed their crimes under
the influence Of intoxication.
The meeting was then addressed, in man
ner that kept up deep in crest in the subject,
by Daniel Frost, Jun. Esq. of Canterbury,
Conn, Rev. DR.. Beecher, of Boston, Rev.
Mr.. NJ Ilvaine, Of Brooklyn, and Rev. Mr..
Hewitt, Of Andover, Mass.
The following resolutions were adopted by
the meeting. We commend them to the Sc
rious attention fevery reader. =
Whereas, it has become evident from the
concurrent testimony of Judicial officers, mag
istrates, civilians, physicians, and Intelligent.
citizens generally, who have made themselves
acquainted with the subject, that the use Of
intoxicating liquors is the occasion of almost
all the fragrant crimes, and to most alarming

the stoutest heart. But the spirit OF be-

operations Of the society beyond his own

Having at this time made some unfortu-

mined not to relax his efforts in behalf of
the oppressed until death, he closed his
business, and at the age of thirty began
to learn the art and mystery" of print
ing He soon acquired an insight into
his new VOCATION and Immediately issued
proposals for monthly publication, to be
devoted to the cause of the African. There
was SO much Of novelty and wild enthusi-

deemed it a matter of Kindness not TO en-

eaterprIze. After the expiration of seven
months, he removed his paper to some
part of Tennessee, for the purpose OF car
rylng the war-not exactly into Africa
but among Africans, and for their LIBERIA
ton. He continued here about three
years, when he mingrated to the city Of
Baltimore, as place better adapted to fa-
vor his intentions, where he established
the Genius of Universal Emancipation, ,un-

published weekly, and IS too well known
to need particular notice.
