10 visit that city, was received in due
time; but | have deferred its acknow-

tainty whether it would be in my power,
this summer, to realize The desire have
so long cherished, of visiting the north

/ Finding that | can leave the seat of
government early in June, and be absent
six or eight weeks, with but little incon-
venience to the public interest, it gives
me pleasure to inform you, that l shall
devote this period to the objects Of this
tour-one Of the most pleasing of which
will be an examination of those revolu-
tionnry "oe"as' M hirh give 10 Boston so
exalted a distinction in our National his
tory.
1t will be particularly gratifying to me
TO embrace an opportunity Of rendering
to yourselves, and those you represent
on this occasion, as well as TO my fellow
citizens generally, my personal respects.
1t would also, be grateful to my feelings,
TO be able to celebrate the approaching
anniversary Of our National Indepen-
dence under the roof Of Faneuil Hall {;
but the time allotted for the proposed
tour will not permit the detention neces-
sary for this purpose; the state of my

TIE TRIAL.--Thc trial OF Rev. l.. X.
Avery, is Of couIse somewhat nearer Its
termination than it was last week at this
time, but the end is not yet seen. We
the. predicted that one week more would
bring the trial to Il close, and no doubts
were entertained in regard to h--but new
evidences are continually being put IN,
as the lawyers say, and the stopping
place has not yet been marked out. All

Monday, with but one Or two exceptions,
has been on the part olthe Government
what may be offered next, and how much
more time will be consumed, we shall
not now even attempt to guess--this an
kee privilege we shall at once relinqulsh
in respect to this trial.--Some think the
closing argument by Mr. Mason for the
defendant, will be commenced to-day
some tomorrow, and others still longer.
We believe, however, that the patience
Of all concerned in this trial, is pretty
much exhausted. Some idea Of its tedi-
ous progress may be gathered from lit
tie incident that took place just previous
10 the adjournment Of the Court on Tues
day morning. After close examination
Of several witnesses, the Attorney Cen
eral expressed q wish that the Court
might adjourn, (it being then halfpast -
o'clock, stating that he expected other
witnesses in the Providence stage, which
would arrive at Q O'Clock. Ono Of the
jury, IAN honest farmer al this unexpect-
ed information, became so inpatient in
his seat, that he could no longer refrain
from giving utterance to the restless feel
ing within him.--"How much longer"
he asked, care we to be kept here-we
have tcen here three weeks already
and there is no more hope now Of getting
through than there was when we first be-
gun-ir you have any thing for US to do

good humored and gentlemanly Attorney
General replied-"you certainly are not

qually as much fa,igued as you arc, with

tleman of the jury, ''you came here pre-
pared for this kind of business-we were
taken upon non-pl@s, and have left our
business and employments which must
suffer very much in our absence" The
Court informed the jury that they could :
walk out with the officers, ary where
they pleased, to take the air and refresh
themselves, during the hours of intermis-
sion, assuring them, (the jury that they,
(the Court were altogether sensible of
the unpleasant condition in which they
were placed. This momentary departure
from the grave and momcntous business
before :he Court, created for short

TRIAL FOR REVOLT.

i In the United States Circuit Court, al
Boston, Caleb Anthony, and eleven 9th
ers, comprising the crew olthe ship Oro-
zimbo, were arraigned on Thursday for
a revolt on the high seas, on the 22d and
25,h Of October. BY the evidence for
the prosecution, it appeared that the
Orozimbo, commanded by Capt. Kemp
ton, sailed from New Bedford for the
South Atlantic, on whaling voyage, on
the 2Oth Of last July. Previous to the
2od Of October, the crew were put upon
an allowance of half pound Of bread
potatoes being cooked three times day
On the day named, the crew refused to
work complaining that they had not e..
nough to eat, and that their duty was too
severe. Upon promise from the Cap
tain, that they should have all the pro-
visions the ship could afford, and watch
below during the day, when not whaling,
they returned to their duty. On the 25th,
the crew again refused to do duty, ex"
ccpt to work the ship into port. Captain
Il. demonstrated, but in vain ; and was
compelled to put into St. Helena. The
American Consul here made several IN
etiectual attempts to satisfy them, ana
four of the crew were sent home IN the
ship Cicero--the remainder returning IN.
the Orozimbo. The defence set up was
cruelty on the part Of the master, subse-
qucnt to the first revolt, and alter pro-
mise OF good usage, in consequence OF
which, ,he defendants were alrald'of their
lives and limbs.
/ In order to constitute an attempt at re-
volt, the defendants counsel maintained
that there must have been All attempt TO
overthrow the authority of the master.
not mere disobedience.
JUDGE SToRY--"The distinction as to the re-
vol, is, that an act Of disobedence by single IN
dividual is not revolt, bat combination is, and
more especially at sea, where there are no more
men on board vessel than are necessary to work
her. II part, or all Of a crew 90 Off the dsci-
pline of the vessel is ovethrown, and the manage
ment is taken out Of The masters hands. The re-
suit is, that if there be combination among
number Of seamen going TO 4 refusal OF duty, 1t is
4 revolt"
Judge Story charged the Jury, who,
after short absence, rendered u verdict
of gully against all the defendants.
They were Immediately sentenced by
the Court to pay a fine Of two dollars
each, and to be imprisoned in the com
mon jail--those under age ten days, and
the others twenty. They have already
laid in Jail about two months, which was
taken into consideration by the Court, in
passing sentence. |

may be generally benefited, and the
income ofthe Post Office Department
be but slightly affected.
First.-Whatever aids the newspa-
|pers in obtaining Information, is Of
great advantage to the public in gen.
|eral--an advantage not only to the
merchant in furnishing him with
'Prices Current s'the state Of trade,' -
,'.Commercial Letters" &c. sc. but
to the newsmongers 10 general.
'.Second.-A serious burden and a
heavy clog upon editors of newspapers
|desirous of furnishing their readers
with the earliest and best news, Is the
heavy tax upon letters. Porbably
all ofthe principal newspapers would
have correspondents in all of the large
cities were it not for the heavy tax up
on letters.
Iaird.--Exchange newspapers can
not be depended upon as certain COM
municatlons of intelligence, for the
mail carriers, very often in bad coming,
and often In good going, are in the
habit of leaving the newspapers bags
behind, and taking only the letter
mail.
neutrality-suspicious. is more
interesting, more valuable, more
minute, as well as more certain.
We propose then to recommen d
that editors OF newspapers be allowed
to receive letters free of postage.
We can imagine 10 serious objections
to this plan; and we see no serious
abuses Of which they can be guilty. II
they receive subscription letters thus,
is II not an advantage to the subscriber
For the subscriber always does, or al
ways ought to pay the postage.
Thus the public is benefited. They
can be guilty OF no great abuse, fol-
the Thanking postage is not allowed
them, but simply the privilege Of re.
ceiving letters sent.
Newspapers are established for the
public good. They are indispensabIy
necessary to every man OF business-in
short, they must be classed as among
the nece5saries fife la free country.
If the people encourage them, the
enterprise Of the present day is such
that the encouragement will be return
ed in their superior value. 1t is AT
axiom ia our system, that whatever
aids the rapid transmission ofnews an d
its wide dissemination, is an advantage
- IN. exrhnso cvStnn,
Editors OF newspapers have as much
right to receive free letters as members
lof Congress. Whatever arguments
they can urge in their behalf, we can
urge with .edoubled force. We are
workers for the public as well as
they.
Congress gave US the privilege OF
receiving free newspapers. Thus this
project is 40 new one--and now Con
gress will be liberal, just, and cons,s-
tent, if to newspapers it adds letters.
We suggest these brief arguments
to our brethren Of the quill. There
arc many more at hand, which their
good sense will call up. This is no
party question. We all are interest
ed and let US give it a fair discussion.
