ITEMS OF FOREIGN NEWS.

A friend has furnished us with Wilmer g.,
Smiths Liverpool Times of the 4th instant, from
which we gather the annexed items:

Magazine has an account of new plan for the

through tubular passages at certain intervals in
which it is proposed to place ar-exhaustlng ma
chimes, which will establish perpetual currant of
artificial hurricanes, by means of which specifically
shaped elastic vehicles, bags will be blown from
station to station. The first cost is estimated by
Mr.. James at $4,000 pounds per mile, and the work
ing expenses at from f300 10 f500 per annum for
every so miles. This system would enable us to

A SUSPICIOUS PERSONACr

Mr.. Buchanan of Maidstone town about DO
miles north of us on the Connecticut River went
to his sugar place on the morning of the 9Th inst
which place is three miles in the forest from apy
dwelling-and there found in his camp, a well.
dressed and portly man, with beard an inch long,
The man on being discovered, told Mr.. b. that he
could not leave the place till the snow was gone
ian inch or more having fallen the night prevlousl
and to enforce his order exhibited brace of pis
tolls and dirk. He made various inquiries of Mr.
b. especially if the murderer of Parker, of Man
chester, had been found, and what people thougbt
about the murder, &c. He explained the cause of
his being there, by saying that he had passed coun
terfelt money and was pursued, but was determin-
ed not to be taken. Shortly before noon the snow
had melted, and the strange man started off, telling
Mr. Is. ne might go or stay he chose. Mr.. B.
returned home, told his story, when several men
visited the place They found pieces of bacon, sc,
and took his tracks, which were visible in muddy
places, and pursued him on the "NullIgan road,''
so called, which penetrates the wilderness towards
Canada, and on which for Is miles there is no in.
habtants They reached Nugan Mills, miles
from any house, about midnight, and as they ap-
preached within 20 rods of a lumberman's calnp.
which had been used the past winter they discov-
cred light, and man fled hurriedly from it
They pursued the next day, but lost track of him.
These are the particulars, and the most authentic
which we can obtain. Some other things are nam
ed IN connection with these, relating to a supposed
associate, &C., but which seem to lack authentci-
ty and we omit to name them particularly Peo-
pie IN the region are considerably excited as we
learn, and think the stranger must be the murderer
one Of the murderers, of Parker His long beard.
the PARTICLES and kind Of provision found, his in
qures relating TO the murder, and his orcib,e de-
tention of Mr. Buchanan till the snow should melt,
seem to be the ground work of the suspicious. Of
the reasonabeness of these suspicious we leave the
reader to Judge dledonidn,

Later From Merico. Capt Parker of the baroue
Falmouth at New York, which lett Matanzas. NAV
9th, states that the English mail steamer from We
ra Cruz, arrived at iIavanah the 9TH inst. with dis
patches from Mr. Crawford, the British Consul ad-
vsing him that the boundary line OF Texas has
been defined and settled aud her Independence
guaranteed by convention between France, Eng
land and Mexico. Accounts by the same arrival
state that Santa Anna has been reduced to the al.
Tentative OF ten years punishment or a trial for
NAL administration.
The above intelligence must have left Vera Cruz
on the I'd or I'd inst. which is ten days later than
our previous advices.
This joint guarantee Of Texan Independence.
with specification of boundaries, is more def
mite form of the proposition sent to Texas from
Mexico some weeks since, per British frigate Eu-
rydlce. The Texan Government objected TO that.
as 1t specified no particular boundary but intimaed
that II TINS objection were obviated and liberal
boundary specified, the proposition would be pres.
ented TO the people for adoption or rejection stimuli
taneousy with the Annexation project.

Bulletin Of the 18th inst it will be seen that Brit.

She brings us neither letters nor papers, but great
abundance of rumors, in which we place very little
confidence. They are of the most hostile charac-
ter, and could one rely upon them, he would sup
pose Mexico bent on the most desperate purposes
and preparing for "war to the knife" We place
no great dependence this news, though it is pos
slbie Mexico may be gathering force at Metamo-
ras Tor the purpose of threatening Texas or repel-
ling the Cananche Indians.

an infamy, compared with which, the odium of the
much talked of Hartford Convention should be
reckoned loud praise. SO far as the constitu-
tionol power of Congress will permit, they should
become the champions of freedom. The voice of
the whole civilized world demands it; the genius
of Republicanism demands it; and what is more,
the genius of Christianity the law of God, de-

hold us responsible for every sentiment expressed

probably others, there may be points which we

THE SLAVE TRADE-sLAvE FACToRIE.


THE SLAVE TRADE-SLAVE FACTORIES
A correspondent of the Baltimore Sum- writing
from the United States Brig Truxton, off Pungo
River, March 28th, says:
"1he schooner Hero, of New Orleans, left that
place July 9Th, l6l4-went TO Havana, cleared
from thence for St Thomas, but came to Pongus
drect--went through the form Of a sale--took in
$50 slaves, and started for Cuba, but Captain Pc

short time Since, killing lieutenant and three
men, and made a clear run with full cargo. Fa-
Der has blacksmiths and coopcrs at his factory
which precudes the necessity Of bringing them

The English get about S25 per head, and $25
per ton prize money and they take their prizes to
Sierra Leone, where their crews are turned adrft
the negroes are sent in transports to the West
India colonies hired to the planters for seven years,
and then made soldiers of. This apprentlcing the

African squadron, and peoples their plantations

tack on Faber's Factory, the 18TH, and will burn
the whole establishment; they will no doubt have
hard fighting. Comets factories at Cape Mount,
will be burnt this month. There are about ten
prizes at this place, Sierra Leone,) at present ;
most OF them have Baltimore plalnly eSlole III tuer

The Pleasure of President The Union draws
the following picture of the Presidents habitual
besetment:
Mr. Polk has already his hands full of business,
and sometimes his mind not free from anxious
Those who see much Of him, can Judge for them
selves of the anxiety which he feels in conscen-
tiously discharging his duties. Few men are ca
pable Of the labors which he encounters; and few
in his place would devote themselves with the same
assiduity 10 the public service. He works from ten
TO twelve hours in every twenty four. He holds
two cabinets week. He sees visitors two hours
every day. when the cabinet is not employed. The
labor of receiving so many persons s, of itself,
sometimes sufficient to fatigue him. lie is also in
frequent communication with his secretaries. His
correspondence is very heavy. His care in look
ing every letter which he receives is far from
being inconsiderable. Letters Of recommendation
are pouring in upon him, in favor of applicants for
office. We understand that the other day he had
to appoint four officers in one Of our principal towns
For one of them there were not less than thirteen
candidates. each Of them backed by numerous
friends. The President had TO wade through the
budgets of letters which each one presented TO his
consideration"
The inference to be drawn was doubtless meant
10 be complimentary for the President, on the score
of his immense industry; but when it is perceived
that his " from ten to twelve hours work in every
twenty four" Is devoted chiefly to meeting the de-
mands of clamorous office-huneis, one cannot help
thinking that the compliment to his industry is paid
at the expense of his judgment and proper sense of
his high duties. The trainers of the constitution,
it seems to u.s. did not create the digniied office of
President, merely that its occupant should pass his
days in parcelling out the spoils of political vcto
ry.
BY the way, we do beg the editor of the Union
to leave off calling the President Colonel Polk
He may be militia colonel, for aught we know,
but the Presidentship is rather loftier and more
respectable station from which to give a man his
title. They say that all the stage drivers at the
West are colonies; and if so, we should suppose
that the President might afford drop the title for
four years. Besides he is CT cbicio commander-in-
chief of the army; so if he must have military
handle to his name, do let it be General, for the
credit of the service.-.M y. Com. .4du.
