Correspondence Of the Buttinlore Patriot, Wash

A correspondent Of the U. S. Gazette, whose
accuracy, generally speaking, can vouch for,
has written, | see, that the CoApittee OF Fo'
reign Relations in the House, hasSreceived the
Observation-Disclosures Mr. Livingston and
the French Ministry,-and upon that, conclu-
sion has been arrived at that nothing Will De

man Of the Committee Of Foreign Relations in
the Senate has, it is said, made broad call. In
which he asks not only for the correspondence
but for the instructions of our government. 1t
will be found, am confident, that the CORES
pondence don't bear out the President In the
beligerent language he has used But sus-
pect another influence has operated upon the
Committee in the House, in bringing it to the
conclusion, to which, it is said, they have arriV-
ed at, and that is, the influence of MIR. Van Bu-
rem, who begins to fear that old Jackson is play
ing the Magician with him, and stirring up a
war, so that "the people may call upon him Tor
a third time" and again force him into pubic
life,"-" with the greatest reluctance" Little

Van Buren's heads together, and then to reap

WAR-INEvrrABlE WAR.-Mrs. Maria Louisa
Clark, s'the widow of highly respectable gen.
tleman of Boston," was lately convicted in New
York Of keeping disorderly house, although
many "credible witnesses stated that they had
known her for years, one of them for ten years,
and believed her to be woman Of irreproach-
able character" The Recorder, unfortunately
for the country, only sentenced her to leave the
premises. and gave her the whole vacation for
that purpose, and afterwards made the follow
ing disclosure, which ominously connected as
il is with our present position towards France,
il may be highly important to American history
to record. Mrs. Maria Louisa Clark declared
that she would not only leave the house but the
country, and go to France by the next packet;
sand having many influential friends in that
country, of which she is native, she would not
only engage that there shall be war, but that
her country should also give ours "a good whip
ping"

INTERESTING BENEvoLENcE.-A shorttim since,
a gentleman distinguished alike for his ability
as physician, and his benevolence as gen.
tleman desired the superintendent Of the Aims
House, when the next male founding was re-
ceived into the establishment, to advise him OF
the fact, and permit him to confer upon 1t an
appropriate name Soon after fine male in
FAINT was discovered, exposed and brought into
the Office where, without the preparatory COM
pliment of name, it was placed in the arms OF
a nurse. Some days after the Doctor being ad-
vised of the event of the infante stranger, went
to the office and seeing the child, conferred upon
it the name of Luke Origen. He then stated that
six gentlemen, including HIMSELF had raised
one hundred dollars, which they intended to
place in the Bank OF Savings, at interest to &C
cumulate there, until the child became OF age,
when it was to receive the principal and super
added compound interest, as capital with
which to commence a career of business. He
also stated that if this child should die before
reaching his majority, the next male child should
receive the same name, and become the possess
or of the trust fund when it became at full age.
The money was then deposited in the Bank of
Savings, i'm the name of the Commissioners Of
the Aims House, and all the necessary measures
taken to secure it to the young beneficiary when
81 years old. Thus the little fellow while yet in
the arms of the nurse, is the subject OF noble
benevolence which will greet him with joy OH
his arriving on the theatre of manhood.
If SO much money is readily raised in New
York for illegitimate children, We suppose that
the poor who do not expose their offspring are
entitled to double allowance.

chants are engaged largely in the packing ou-
siness, at various points in the vicinity OF the cl
ty. At Russville, Hamilton, Middletown, Law
&c. 1t is estimated that the quaint
tty Of Pork exported last year from Cincinnati
which includes that packed in the above towns
fell very little short of forty fire thousand oar
rels, about eighty fire thousand kegs OF Lard,
t,uo hundred and seres,ty thousand Hams, Desioes
Shoulders, Sides, bulk meat &C. One OF our
enterprising citizens alone purchased, am toIo;
fortunately, it proved profitable investment.
There are altogether in the city, about 20 or u
Pork Houses, and they now employ about ten
to twelve hundred men, at an average OF dol
lar per day. At the commencement OF the sea
son Hogs appeared plenty, and were purchased
at a fraction lower than last year-say S3 per
hundred for those averaging $50 pounds. am
informed that they are now becoming more
scarce, and that the price is advancing. There
will not be as many packed this year as last.
Some that were engaged in it last year, lost
more or less money, owing to the distress IN
the country, brought about by our tetse Pre-
sident, and the impossibility of eftectlng sales
at fair prices;-so that there are, probably,
not as many engaged in the business as for
merly. Money now being more plenty than
last year, and general demand existing Tor the
article, ready sales at fair prices will be made:
The demand now in this market for Pork and
Lard is good, and gradual advance in price
has and will continue to take place. Most OF
our Pork packers are men Of wealth, and can
consequently "hold on" there will be no neces-
sity oflorcing sales. However, they cannot pack
enough before the season closes to supply the
demand, which is much increased by many OF
| the army contractors being in the market, and
wishing to purchase to fill their contracts.
The following are about the present prices;
clear Pork, Sl2; Mess 10; Prime to 80; Lard
81 to 6; Hams Ct to 7; bulk meat At. The Hogs
are driven in from the interior of Ohio, and al
so from Indiana and Kentucky, and not one dro'
yer in ten will receive any other money but U
S. Bank notes in payment for his hogS-not even
silver or gold. The notes of the Franklin Bank
which is the pet Bank here, they will not LOOK
at.-They will have the notes of the Bank Of
| U. S., or they will keep their hogs.
The spare ribs and feet Of hogs, (and they are
about the sweetest Of the hog meaU are gene
rally given way,-hundreds, if not thousands
of our poor, get their entire living from the PorR
houses, gratis, through the whole winter. For
merly, they threw the ribs and feet into the Ohio
by cart loads; they were not taken away as
fast as they were accumulated.

Mr.. MApIsoN-A friend writes us from Vir-
pinia. "On my way to Charlottesville, called at
Montpelier, the seat of James Madison. The en-.
trance to the estate, from the main road, Is thro
an avenue in the forest, OF only the width OIL
a carriage track, in length about three quar-
tiers Of a mile While passing through this
place, my mind naturally reverted back to the
thousands who had trod the same ground be-
fore me- in bygone days-some bearers OF I'M
portant information relating to the State affairs,
others, to sue Tor place, and very many, like
myself impelled hither merely by curiosity, and
a desire to take by the hand man who has &C.
cupied so conspicuous stations in our country's
history. After emerging from the wood, in the
midst of beautiful lawn. discovered the man.
sion of the venerable Ex-President 1t very
large house; the portlco in front OF the main
building is supported by four plain columns,
with extensive wings on either side. The draw
ing room is in the centre, into which was ush-
cred, and for a few moments had the opportu-
nity to observe the thousands of objects with
which it was literally crowded. The furniture
was rather of ancient date, but in stile of per-
feet neatness; the walls completely covered with
paintings, some of which, Scripture pieces,
were large, reaching from the ceiling to the
floor Portraits of Washington, Jefferson,
Mr.. Madison and Lady, La Fayette, and
others, were also there besides an innumera-
bic number Of busts: among them | observ-
ed those of Shakespeare, Byron, Scott, and
Franklin. A full length figure of Napoleon &C.
cup;ed conspicuous place on the mantel-p piece.
An electrical apparatus, several philosophical in
struments, and piano, had places in the room.
In a short time was waited upon by Mrs. Madi-
son, who babe me welcome, and conducted me
to her husband, who was seated in an adjoining
room, apparently his study. He received me
very cordially. and passed couple of hoursin
the most delightful manner MIR. Madison is now
81 years Of age and was much astonished at
his vvacty, and the brilliancy of his language.
In conversation he reminded me OF our Mr..
Otis.
81 was not before aware that Mr.. Madison
had ever visited New England; but he informed
me that he travelled as far as Northampton
once in company with Mr.. Jefferson. This
was in the year that the Congress was removed
from New York to Philadelphia.
"The estate of Montpelier is situated in the
centre of an amphitheatre of mountains and is
one of the most romantic spots ever beheld;
just such an one as philosopher might choose,
there to close his earthly career. MIR. Madlson's
plantation comprises several thousand acres,
the whole under the superintendent of son
of Mrs. Madison, by former husband

pressed with the belief that he is at this time much
the happiest man ever saw"

Sir:-An article has recently appeared in
your paper over the signature Of" vindex," pur-
porting to be reply to an article from my pen
on the subject of Ministers Of the Gospel cleo
tioneering for Office. That writer has made
some assertions in reference to myself which
he, Of course, must be expected to prove when
properly called on, and which, from the lam
guage he uses, he admits he is prepared to prove.
Now, sir as those assertions were made in pub
lie paper, deem such a mode OF commune
cation the proper one by which his proofs should
be presented to mine and the public eye. You,
sir,have acknowledged in your,paper thatC ephas
was written by member Of Congress vindex
makes assertions in reference to Cephas which
would invest him with another character and
station. Now, sir, shall repeat, se,iaiim, the
assertions Of Vindex which | think it necessary
to notice, and shall expect from him direct
and unequivocating answer to the interrogato-
ries shall PROFOUND:
