mas been, on his part attempt to conceal or dis
guise his sentiments on this, or any other subject
interesting to the public: and that whatever doubts
may be felt in relation to them in any quarter,
have not originated in any act of his, but may be
traced to the fact that his station affords him no
opportunity ofmaking his opinions officially known,
and that he has been restrained from communica-
ting them informally to the public by feeling OF
delicacy, aud the apprehension that it might be
considered an improper intrusion, and not from
the desire to leave his sentiments doubtful.
"We respect such feelings, but believe that
there are occasions on which they eught.to yield
to higher consde ations and that such is the pre-
sent We are gratified to learn from a'quarter
entitled to credit, that this is probably the ,m-
preston of the Vice President himself; and that
yielding to what appears to be the wish OF the

will place his sentiments before the public with

great measure, wood as fuel; neither were ever
known before to be and hig:l at this sea
son of the year. OF Coal, we believe there is moi
buSheI for sale our wharves and wood readily
commands fire dollars per cord. Some few years
since, we received Coal of an excellent quality
from Cumbcrland; but have not latterly seen any
of it. We are surprised that some has not reached
our market as 1t would bring a good price. We
have no doubt that nee hundred toms might BIO dis
posed of i'll the course of the winter.
When the Canal shall have been completed to
Cumberland, the trade in Coal alone ought to
make it Il productive to the Stockholders
Ii will not be long ere steamboats, must substi-
tute coal for wood, the latter becomes more
scarce along the navigablc waters.
We have understood that orders for the ScAuyI-
Kill Coal cannot be supplied in Philadelphia as fast
as they received, or that vessels cannot be
found TO take it away.

lhor. The Editor of the National Gazette SAYS
III is directly known TO us, That Z letter, of u re-
cent date, has been ~ved from him, in this citr,
wherein he positively dfsc!anis the authorship"
there is too much talent displayed in these cole
OFaed letters, TO doubt that Mr. Henry is not the
author: We have been informed by gentlemen
from England, that the Editors of the Mornng
chronicle are themselves ignorant of their
respondents nlme-that he asks no compensation
Ind though tho Editors write to him ut Paris,
addressed y. Z. q. and through the Post office,
nothing has been c.icited, by which his identity
may he discovered The sources of hia information
nust DC near the fountain he ad, and the accuracy
OF ms predictions for than year past, is

sought after IN England, well a. elsewhere
and have done much to erculalatc the Chronicle.
