SERvrA. Ore of the most gratifying events
Of contemporary history is the liberation of Ser
via from the heavy yoke of the Turkish gov
eminent. The Porte has determined to relin-
quish whatever was arbitrary in its mode of
governing them, and has granted them char
ter of rights, or rather of independence, which
was announced to a numerous assembly of dep.
uties of the province, in the early part Of March,
at the residence Of Prince Milosch By this
charter they are allowed the free exercise of
their religion, the right of choosing their ruler
or governor, as well as of regulating their tax.
eS. their local magistrates, and their internal
affairs generally. The Porte now, claiels only a
moderate yearly tribute, raised in whatever
manner the Ssryians think fit. Prince Milosch,
after communicating this new constitution,
proposed to resign his office but the assembly
unanimously declared him the author of his
country's freedom, and constituted him its ruler
for lie, under the name of 90 Sovereign Prince
Of Servia." the dignity TO be hereditary in his
family. The assembly then adopted a resolu-
ton expressive of their gratitude to the Sultan,
and took the oath ofalegiance to Prince Milosch
The Prince pronounced the Servians nation

mulgate at an early period a code of laws, cop.

INDIAN AFFAIRS. The present Admin
lstratlon is the first to deny the obligatory
force of treaties made under the authority
of the United States, which the constitution
declares shall be the supreme law of the
land. 1t is to be hoped that no future ad-
mlnlstration will envy the present, the hon.
or of such denial. The President, by his
oath OF ofhce, has sworn to execute the laws
OF the United States, among which are the
treaties with the Cherokees, according to
their true intent and meaning. If he neg
lects or refuses to do so, he violates his oath
OF office, and renders himself liable to i'm
parchment. Let the treaties be fairly con-
strued, let the plighted faith of the nation
be preserved at every hazard. Let no stig-
ma be thrown upon the understanding of
Gen. Washington, or the Senate, who rati-
ned the treaties. Let it not be said that n
treaty, made under the authority of the
United States, is not the supreme law of
the land. If, as some pretend, the consti-
tuition is merely a compact between the
States, one part of that compact is, that all
treaties made under the authority of the
United States, shall be obligatory on the
several States, as well as the nation. 1.-THE
tdecson of the President and Senate does
not render treaty binding, if foreign ma
tons may not rely on our own construction
! of our powers of government, and more es-
pecially if the opinion of partisan Presi-
dent, unsupported by the judicial authori-
ties OF the nation, can declare treaties null
and void, for want of constitutional power
to make them, then a Pandora's box of
evils is opened, which will fill this nation
with lamentation and mourning, and woe.
The final decision is not yet made. Let us
hope for the best. If the representatives Of
the people. forget the obligations of law, and
justice and good faith, the question is hap
PLY OF such nature, that revision NAV be
had before the highest judicial tribunal of
the Union, and where there can be no rea-
son to fear, that cupidity or party zeal will
prevent the light of'truth from pointing out
the path of national integrity, which is also
the path of national honor and prosperity.

I STEAM Boar EXPLOSION. The boiler Of
the Steam Boat Chief Justice Marshall ex-
ploded Just as the boat was leaving the
wharf at Newburg on Thursday evening
last. There were on board about one hun
dred and twenty passengers. The N. Y.
Commercial Advertiser of Friday says-It
was Just in the edge oftwilight and the pas
sengers had but a short time previously
left the tea-table in the dining cabin. This
was most providential; for, as the force OF
the explosion was in that direction, had the
passengers remained in the cabin, there
would have been an immense destruction of
! life Ii is believed that seventeen persons
were more or less injured-seven or eight
very seriously and some Of them mortality.
But such was the confusion and sarm-
such a rushing on shore and throwing of
themselves overheard in the fright and
agony of the moment-that it is impossible
to predicate with accuracy the extent of
the injury, or the loss of life.
OF the causes of this disaster, we have
no certain information. 1t is presumed to
have arisen from too great an exhaustion of
water in the boilers-owing, It's conject-
ured, to the ineompetency of tie engineer.
The old engineer, who has had charge of
the engine for several years, was dismissed
few days since, and new one engaged
who offered his services at reduced sala-

but can say the steam vas very low-the
boiler we'll supplied with water-the gauge

steam continually blowing off. All is con-
fusion. The explosion4was dreadful
happened to be standing in the most expos
ed situation, but received no material injury,
and am doing all Cur for the comfort of
the distressed.
The Commercial Advertiser of Saturday
says, although we are vet left without
names, or further particulars respecting the
explosion of the Chief Justice Marshall, yet
there has been destruction of life, more
extensive and melancholy than was antici-
pated yesterday. We learn this morning,
that the sufferings of seven of the vic
Tins, were terminated by death yesterday,
and it was believed our others would
certainly die, and probably FIVE. But one
of the passengers is believed to have died.
The engineer of the boat is among the dead,
and his body was broughtto the city this
morning, by his brother. This accident has
inspired the public with very general alarm.
Last night, when the boat came alonp from
Albany, only IL or l3 passengers came of
from Newburg, instead Of from 30 to 60 as
usual.

EXPEDITION AGAINST ALGIERs. Letters re-
csived from the Mediterranean, communicate
some information respecting Algiers, with which
we have hitherto been unacquainted. 1t ap-
pears that the Dey is straining every nerve to
give the French expedition a warm reception
The Notifications have been surveyed by Euro
pean engineers, employed by the Dey, to whose
suggestions he has lent a ready ear, and the
batteries on the seaside are now deemed i'm
pregnabe. The Dey's corps of observation,
amounting to 81, 900 men-30, 900 of which are
OF the new organization, disciplined after the
European manner,) have been maintained for
the last six months in constant readiness to act
with all the REQUESTS material for sturdy con-
test with nation to whom they have had an
hereditary dislike, and however presumptuous
it may seem, it is nevertheless true, that the
raw-boned Algerines court the opportunity oil
trying their Damascus blades against their for
mida6le enemies, and point to Acre as a proof
what Mussulmen can do in the breach against
the French bayonet. In fact, the enthusiasm
of the Mahometans is at the highest pitch.
Inspiring songs are sung in the streets Of Al
giers, and the Dey has said, that should the
town be invested by the French, all the womed
will be sent into the interior, and having lain
up provisions for two years siege, he will defy
the utmost power of France. 1t is clear that
the capture Of Algiers will be no easy matter,
although we read in the French Journals, that
division of the Dey's territory has already
been agreed upon between France and Egypt
Little or no danger may be dreaded from attack
by sea, and the obstacles on the land side are of
formidable description.

LATEST FROM COLOMBIA. The Editors
of the New York Mercantile Advertiser
learn from Capt. Whitaker, of the brig Hi
ram, which sailed from Laguira on the 6th
ult., that the Commissioners sent by Gen.
Bolivar, had been met by Gen. Paez, who
declined to treat with them on any other
condition than a complete acknowledgment
of the independence of Venezuela. The
Commissioners had therefore set out on
their return to Bogota. Gen. Paez was at
Valencia, preparing to resist any attempts
to subdue the country. He had already as
sembled about 10000 troops in the neigh
borhood of Maracaibo, and had there been
joined by 800 of the troops sent by Bolivar
from Carthagena,t to act against him. There
was every indication that the firm stand
taken by Venezuela and the other provin-
ces which had leagued with her, would be
sustained and their independence establish

BURNING Coal MINE. About two years
since, the snow lying on a field on the farm
of Shaw-park, belonging to the Earl of
Mansfield, was observed to melt almost as
soon as it had fallen, and then rise
in state of vaper. The phenomenon
soon attracted the attention of the managers
of the Alloa and Devon collieries, and upon
examination, was fonnd to be the effect of
heat produced by the strata of coal, in a
state of ignition, technically known by the
name of the nine feet seam, from which the
Devon iron-works are supplied with large
proportion Of then fuel. Various plans
were, at the time, suggested to extinguish
the flames, and after several failures it was
determined to cut mine round the seam to
prevent their extension. Workmen were SET
to excavate this, which was opened at both
| sides Of the seam, and to build wall as they
proceeded, on the sides of the two tunnels
next the fire. In this way it was intended
to proceed till the tunnels penetrated be-
Iyond the fire, when they were to be Joined
in the form Of a horse shoe, and thus cut
off, by means of a strong wall, all connec-
ton between the ignited part of the seam
and the remainder of it. This plan has
Ibeenpersevered in for year and ahalf, but
has never been completed. The work
men have often brought the two walls
within few fathoms of meeting, but owing
to the fire bursting in upon them, they have
been hitherto obliged to fall back again and
take wider circle. Six or seven shafts
have been sunk to ventilate the tunnels, in
which the heat is frequently so great as to
raise the thermometerto from 212to 23O de-
grees of Farenheit; it sometimes rises even
higher. The lamps of the miners, which
are hung upon the walls, have more than
once fallen to pieces from extreme heat.

stock Of this bank were sold yesterday at Sl27
so cents per share. The fluctuations in this
stock within the last four and half months
have been very remarkable. On the 9Th and
