SrEAn CAnnlAak-Mr. Henry Helms,
|an esee1pEisiag and ingenious nechanic of1
this place, has made the proposition to our
citizens, to construct . steam carriage a.
dapted to common rosdse the cost Of con-
struction will be about Sl2OO; large pos-
ton Of this sum, we learn, has been promp-
tly subscribed and we hope the whole viii
be made up in few days. 1t . designed
to make the FIRST experiments with this
carriage, when completed, on the national
road between this and GAINESVILLE. Gifts
success we entertain no doubt; and If Con-
gress, at its present session, will make the
necessary appropriation to complete the
repairs ofthe Cumberland road, in less than
twelve months, we may witness its trium-
plant success upon this road also. No
time should be lost in having this improve

Wheeli.g Times.

The present Lord High Chancellor oil
Great Britain Lord Lyndhurst) is a native
Of Boston Mass. He left Boston with his
father 1.-THE late SIR John Copley) the day
preceding the battle of Lexington, which
saved their family property
from eon6scation. The land below the
Hancock estate on Beacon street, now
occupied by some the most splendid pri
vate residences in the Union, belonged to
the COpely family. The widow Of the late |
Gardiner Greene of Boston, is sister to Lord

A PATRIOTIC kING.-Codius was the
last king Of the Athenians. He devoted
himself to death for the people. The
Heraclidae having made an irruptlon as far
as the gates Of Athens, the oracle declared
that they should be conquerors, whose King
should fall in this contest. To take the /
earliest advantage, therefore, Of this ans
wcr, Codius dIsguished himself in the habit
ola peasant; and provoking one of the ene-
my's soldiers, was killed by him. Where
upon, the Athen;ans sent = herald to de-
mand the body Of their King, which mes
sage struck such damp into the enemy,
that they departed, without striking another|
blow.
Relations cikk FSasce-It will be per
ceived that Mr.. Clay, the Chairman on thel
Of Foreign Relations in the Sc
nate, has made an able Report ON 30 much
Of the Pres'dent's Message a. related to
our difficulties with France, which con-
cludes with the following resolution.
Resolred, That it 10 inexpedient, at this
time, to pass any law vesting in the Presi-
dent authority for making repsisals upon
French property, in the contingency Of pro-
visions not being made for paying the Uni
led States the indemnity stipulated by the
Treaty Of 1884,, during the present session Of
The French Chambers.
This is the true ground, and will meet
with tile cordial expectation az that portion
If the People of the United States who -
'ome to think for themselves. From the
moment that we laid the message before I
'ur readers, we have contended fisst, that
Congress could not delegate 10 the Presi- {
lent their authority 10 grant Letters Of! q
l,arque and reprisal, and secondly, that
lnder any circumstance, repsisals would be Z
,rar measure not to be entertained for a ]
moment. This resolution in effect, declares 9
hat under no contingency will this deman {
f the Executive be acceded to; but the .
Report at the same time is not deficient q

sational honor-N. Y. Cour & Enq. n
