the various branches OF the Government Nave
all passed; and liberal appropriations have
been made for Notifications and for the Public
Buildings.
The other public acts, Of most Importance,
are those which have relation to objects Of ill.,
ternal improvement, towards which seveh hun.
dred thousand dollars have been appropriated,
at this Session, by varions acts such as the act
for the continuation Of the Cumberland Road,
the act for extending it beyond GAINESVILLE, and
the &C, for providing for the repair of the road,
for which latter object hundred thousand dol
lars have been appropriated, lthe provision Tor
erecting gates upon it having been rejected In
The Senaie.) The Louisville and Portland Ca
nal, the Chesapeak and Delaware Canal, aud
The Dismal Swamp Canal, and the Military
Road in Maine, have also received, in several
acts, the aid Of Congress.
Alter the bill concerning Public Build
Jugs, the only interesting measure Of the SEES
sion, concerning the District in which we live,
is the bill for organizing The government ofthe
Peni,en,iary, which will place il in a situation
10 be occupied il Congress shall, at the next
session, provide system Of Pebi,pniiary pun
ishment within the District.
A vast number of bills fell through, in both
Houses, by no, being acted upon; amongst
which, the most important were all The bills
proposing relrenchment, which seem TO have
been reported by way of jest; all the bills for
graduating the price Of public lands, &c. &c.;
the bill for placing ell The surviving Militia of
the Revolution on The Pension List; and the bill
for repeating the tonnage duty. The bill, lost,
which were most interesting to this District,
were The bill authorizing subscription 10 the
stock Of the Washington and Frederick Turn
pike Company, which was defeated by the at
,empts TO change the route, and The bill report
ed in pursuance Of the memorial Of the Chez
sapeake and Ohio Canal Company, the passage
Of which had opponents also amongst ourselves.
or the other measures which failed through
the purposed or indorn, neg lee, OF duty on the
part of the ma oriIies of both houses, are ma

reference to the bills which actually passed.
Neither the Tariff, nor any question ,ouch-
Ing lhe recently disputed powers Of the General
Government, was touched, unless as involved in
the Cumberland Road bills. The discussion
of rhese que stions was politically deferred 10

EMIGRATION OF THE CREEKS

Mobile FEB. IS, lSa9.-We have been favor
ed win on interview with Ma jor Walker who
| is engaged with Col Breary in effec,ng the
emigration Of the Greek Indians. Maj, Walk
er left here yesterday, for the Greek Nation
and is on his return from The country which
the United States Government have provided
for the .migrants, in company with four Of the
principal Chiefs, three Of whom have spent the
las, year 10 the territory. They confir m the
accounts which have been uniformly given OF
the country, and speak in the highest terms Of
the fertility Of he soil, the abundance Of game,
and the salubrity Of the climate
The place, or principal village, at which the
emigrants ATE located, is on the Verdisris River
at the head of steam navigation, and but four
miles from Cantonmeht Gibson, where Colonel
Arbucklr Is stationed, with force of about 800
men. The distance Of the station e. on the
mouth Of the Arkansaw is but 800 miles by
land though il is abou, six hundred hy water
The country lies TO the westward of the terri
ioria limits of Arkansaw, and it is understood
the faith Of the Government is pledged that il
shal remain secure from the Entertainments of
the whites, and that /, shall afford the Indians
permanent residence.
We have stem and conversed with several of
the Chiefs ard n ad men who have visited the
country, some of whom are shrewt and intelli-
gent; they are al Of opinion that their condi-
non and prospects would be intellectually bene-
fitted bv a removal.
Major Walker represents the Mcintosh par.
~ as siucelely disposed 10 forge, the difference
es that have heretofore existed among their
people, and says that Chilly Mcintosh, who is
now on the Verdigris, will oppose no objection
TO taking subordinate rank, and will cheerful
ly yield to precedence to the older chiefs. He
is extremely DESTROYS Of a reconciliation The
emigranls now amount 10 about l4oo, and il is
the intention Of Maj. Walker 10 set out wiki
another party sometime in April.
From the wariike character Of the Ossyes,
fears have been entertained Of their hostility 10
the enterprise. To counterfeit this impre as ion,
which we understand has been made TO a, con-
siderable extent among the Greeks, principal
chief Of the Osages, who. is one Of their head
warriors, has been despatched by that tribe,
and ROW accompanies Major Walker, 10 make
assurances TO the Greeks OF their good will,
and to offer them the hand OF friendship.
From these and other evidences Of the zeal
Gus and spirited efforts making by the Govern
ment, we cannot entertain doubt but this
most desirable oLject-an object that is sane
toned equally by the dictates of philanthropy
and sound policy, will be accomplished without
unnecessary delay.
The number Of Greeks remaining this side
OF the Mississippi is estimated at $4,000.

A PORTRAIT-No, ..


A PORTRAIT-No. ..
The winds were high, and blew in ftful gusts,
Dashing among the leaves, which gave low
Responsive sound to their hoarse murmurnr.
The moon. which ever and anon peeped forth
From out her fleecy mantle, lit by turns,
And darkened up the scene,-as when on eve
OF summer, freflies, dancing thro' the air,
Emit their clear tho eyanescent light
The maiden wandered on. needless of weather,
As unconscious of her way. Twas a sore sight
a youthful beauty on night like that
when nature by her gloominess foretoId
The storm that was to rive her very depths
With head unbonnetted and tresses loose,
The streaming play,hing of the rising wind,
Wandering alone: with no fond arm to keep
Her fragile person from the win,ry blast;
.9nd which, with all a lovers tenderness,
Might guard her footsteps thro' the darksome way.
1t was night that haggard sprites might choose
hold their damned unearthly revelsin;
But well ween on such night as that,
'Twould rather suit maden's temperament,
Sitting on sofa i'll her fathers hall,
To listen to the soft delicious tale of love,
That made her young heart beatyet made her list.
She safe her down at length and could see,
BY the moons beam that stole thro' leafy crevice
On her face, its aabaster paleness,
Relieved by the slight flush Of exercise-
did not see the sparkling of her eye
Till now-it grew more bright indeed seemed ierce
She wound up into apch of fury
Her eye grew stesdy. and she sang this strain
Pve sought him long DER hill and dale,
But no trace can find of him;
pve called on his name by river thro' vale,
And Pve wcpt till my eyes grew dim
All me, have called on him long,
But tits echo alone that answers my song.
The tempest drown'd her VOICE. thought of her
As of being. natures fairest work,
Blighted in her first lovethe pleasant stream
Of young affection stopped by wanton guile.
The VOW was crazed-I looked 10 where she safe,
But she had gone, and the LAST murmuring
Of her wild spirit family struck my ear. NOEL.
