ON THE SOUND-VESSELS ASHORE.

STORM ON THE SOUND-VESSELS ASHORE.
On board Steamer CLEOPATRA,
L. l. SOUND, FRIDAY, Dec. II, 1847
The steamer Cleopatra left New FORK yes
terday at 4 p. m. for Allyn's Point, to CON
meet with the cars running thence to Boston
via Norwich and Worcester. After we had
been out a couple of hours, the wind, which
had been northeast all day, increased to a
gale. Capt. Van Pclt, with prudence be-
fitting his station, determined not to proceed,
but to anchor under Harris Island about
twenty-five miles from the City. This was
accomplished soon after o'clock, without diff
fculty.
The gale continued during the whole night,
and now 60 o'clock, A N.Y. has not abatcd.
The passengers, however, though disappoint-
ed in not being able to proceed to Boston, are
good natured as people ought to be under
such circumstances. Our place of anchorage
is so entirely safe, and the steamer rocked SO
little during the night, that all slept as quiet
ly as they would have done on terra firma.
Opposite to us, in Cow Bay, are anchored
the steamers c. Vanderbilt, bound to Ston-
ngton; the Governor, bound to Fall River
and the Hero, bound to New Haven; all hay
Cleopatra
At daylight this morning we discovered
that a considerable number of vessels had
been driven ashore on the east side of Harris
Island, and only a few rods from the Cleopa-
ira. Capt. Van Pelt, accompanied by scve.
raj of his officers and men, landed on the Isl
and from small boat and crossed over to the
other side to inquire into the condition OF
these vessels and their crews. Fortunately
no lives had been lost. The following de-
scription of the vessels found ashore was po-
litely furnished by Mr.. Bacon, the obliging
Clerk of the Cleopatra
Schr. Marietta, from New Y rk to Boston,
bilged-loss of bowsprit and bulwarks.
Schr, Renown, of and for Boston from N.
York-supposcd to be biged.
Schr. j. W. Candy, of Cape May, bound
to Dighton, Mass.-nearly high and dry on

can be got off easily.
Schr. Cadet, of Bangor for New Y ork-can

to New. Haven with oysters-probably bilged.
Schr. Gen. Taylor from Norfolk for Bos-
ton-can be got off easily.
Schr Ipswich, of Tbomaston for Boston
probably total wreck.
A large brig, name unknown, lies at an
Choir to the northward of Harris Island. She
anchored there in The early part of last eve
ming, and set signal, which was the means
of decoying all the above named vessels, who
supposed she was at anchor on the other side
under the protection of the island.

"GIVE US THE PROOF"

In the Ludlow Genius of Liberty, of the 10th inst
the editor calls on lis for proof that some statements
in the Voice of the preceding week, over the sigma
ture of "a WHIG," were true. After occupying
some more than half column in getting his ideas
into shape our friend ANGLER goes on as follows:
But we took up our pen to ask for prooj
that Henry Clay "HOLDS NO SLAVES
AGAINST THEIR WILLIE And that he
has from time to time given freedom to
those WHO DESIRED IT.! We call for
PROOF Neighbour We believe the whole
statement to be UTTERLY WITHOUT FoUN-
DATION. We have seen no statement for a
long time, so evidently calculated to give a
false impression. Gire us tie prooE and ,ce
WW gladly publish il. Till then, we don't be-
lieve word of it. Toe up and give us the
proot-toc up.
We will "toc up" MS well as VIC know how, and
hope the Reverend editor of the Genius will receive
what we have to Offer and not say" we don't be-
lieve word Oft" We will then remark, that, the
writer of the article in the Voice, to which alusion
has been made, is probablyas well vcrsed in the his
tory Of the leading politicians of the country, and of
the sayings and doings of Horny Clay, as any man
in this section. His reputation us man of ntcgri-
ty also stands as high us level, and we presume.
should he think it necessary, he will furnish what he
considers good proof that his statements were cor
rect. We are so busy nowadays that we cannot
we'll spare the time to look up and present proof that
every statement furnished by correspondents is lite
rally true; but this much we will promise, viz: if
Mr. CLAY denies Offering his slaves their freedom,
and denies having given liberty to his slaves from
time to time, We will try to back out as soon as did
the Rev. editor Of the Genius after his publishing
narrative of one of Mr.. Clay's slavcs some months
since
But what does our friend mean by using the fol-
lowing sentence? 1--WE have seen no statement for
long time, evidently calculated to give false
impression" Did the editor read the following cd
toral in The same number Of the Genius which con-
tanned the above statement? If not, please look ut
it, and whether what follows, as well rs what has
appeared in his paper the same subject, for four
Or five weeks past, tends MS much I" to give false
impression as the statements Of "a Whg", The
article reads as follows:

HORSE THIEF ARREsTED!--Wcle learn the following
particulars, in substance, from VIM. B. CoLpuRN, an
Inn-kecper in Cnstleton, and n Deputy Sheriff of
Rutland County On Sunday night, the 10Th inst,
Horse and Harness Sleigh and two Buffalo
Robes were stolen from the premises of HIRAM HoRR
morning, this information was communicated to Mr..
Colburn when he Immediately started in pursuit of
the thief and stolen propery,-with nothing to
guide him save the track Of the team for few rods
which indicated that they went towards Rutland
On calling at Backsmith's shop in West Rutland
and naming what had occurred an Irish lad, stated
that stranger called at his Fathers in Whpp!e
Hollow, during the previous night, and enquired the
way to Omada. On this information the Sheriff
directed his course towards Brandon, and when mr.
rived here ascertained that the thief had called
about day-ghtfor the purpose of warming, and luf
taking the road towards Middebury. Before pro-
ceeding far he tackled for Whiting, and in attempting
to cross the intervale the high water prevented his
going with his sleigh ard harness the driver got
into the wator-let't the seigh-sold one of the
Robes ind proceeded horseback ashort distance,
but the high water prevented his crossing the creek.
The hero then tackled and was overtaken by the
pursuing officer about 4 o'clock P. NJ, some two
miles north Of Leicester corner while in the act of
trying to sell the stolen horse and the robe he had
left!
The thief is a stranger in these parts-about 5 it.
10 inches hgh-stout built-long black hair, and
face badly bruised.
REMARKs-Mr. CoLBURx passed through this
village on Tuesday morning, with the thief on his
return to C0stlcton and we presume they reached
Rutland Storehouse on Wcdnesday-the thief to re-
main until April next. By the way we will just
say to those who wish to seal they had better not
do it in Sheriff Colbun's range, for they may as
well undertake to dodge lightning as to shun his
brace!

A VERY GOOD REASON In the Senate Proceed
ngs of the Sth inst, we notice the reason rendered
by Messrs Wendell s. Van Benthuysen, Printers to
that body, 'chy senators were not supplied with cop
les Of the Presidents Message in usual season. and
that reason was, the President refused to furnish
them copy to set from, according to well estab-
lshed usage, in advance of its delivery to the two
houses of Congress!" Surely, Mr.. Polk introduces
great many new ideas during his reign, and he
may prove too wise for his own benefit or honor.

rotary of their Executive Committee, to attend a

Science for the present season. Good will result

RECEPTION OF GEN. TAYLOR AT NEW
ORLEANs.-New-O Orleans papers Of the 4th
inst, are filled with accounts of the grand
demonstration made by the citizens of tie
Crescent City, and participated in by thou
sands from the surrounding country, on the
Sd inst. These accounts represent it TO have
been magnificent and enthusiastic affair
and we can readily conceive that their des-
criptions are not exaggerations. The process
sion was enormous, and it appeared It's ii every
living being in the city had turned out to do
honor to the old Hero. When he landed the
Mayor invited him to become the guest of tho
city. General Taylor briefly and appropria-
tely replied. He then proceeded to the Ca
thedral. Bishop Blame appropriately address
ed him; old Rough and Ready made an elo-
qucnt reply The St. Charles was brilliantly
Illuminated in the evening. In front of the
gentlemen's parlor was a transparency Of
Gen. Taylor, in the old brown coat, with tho
motto, " Little more grape, Captain Bragg"
The dinner, fireworks, visit to the theatres,
all passed off splendidly. On the 4th the
presentation of the sword, voted by the Leg
islature of Louisiana, took place. 1t was an
interesting ceremony. The sword was pre-
scented by Gov. johnson, in a long, eloquent
and enthusiastic speech. General Taylor
made short and appropriate reply. Gen.
Taylor left on the morning of the 5th in the
steamer Missouri, for Mcmphis.-Er.

Correspondence Of the Tribune.
WASHINGTON, /

w AoulNGION1 lcC. TO- At
1t is hard to guess when the debate on the
Presidents Veto Message will end, or how it
will end The Union Of last night contends
that the ten days specified in the Constitution
had not expired when the Veto was sent in.
If SO, there is hope that the bill may become
a law Immediately. The Constitution pro-
vides that the President shall return the bill,
with his objections, within ten days Sundays
excepted-atter its passage, and his mouth
piece says this time had not expired when
the Message was sent in. If it had not, then
the Constitution makes it imperative on the
House, to which the veto is sent to take the
Yeas and Nays upon the reconsideration Of
the bill "If, after such reconsideration, two
thirds of the House agree to pass the bill, it
shall be sent, together with the objections, to
the other House, by which it shall likewise be
reconsidered, and if approved by two-thirds
of that House, it shall become a law Con.
of U. S., Art l, Sec. Z. Now why not take
Polk and his organ at their word, by agreeing
with them that the Constitutional ten days
have not passed, during which only the Pres
ident can return his objections and pass the
bill? l think two-thrds of both Houses are
now in favor of River and Harbor Improve
ments.
The Court Martial, on the Fremont tri-
al, expelled the Reporter Of the Baltimore
Sun, to-day, for some mistake or misrcpresen-
tation in his report. The decision Of Ere
mont's case, am informed by member of
the Court seems no nearer now than when 1t
was commenced 1t is about as interminable
as Polk message or Polk war, and about
as useful to the people,

RECEPTION OF THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE
The Boston Bee and Mail gave us the first entire
copy of this Message, and we are informed by the
Bee, that paper and the Boston Times were the
first to receive it from New York. Arrangements
had been made for telegraphing the entire Message
from Washington to New York, but the News Con-
ductors having failed to perform their part of the
work. the New York and Boston publishers had to
wait for the transmission of this Document to the
former place by cars; when S. S. Cornell, the Ex-
press man of the Bee and Times, took three copies
and started at 10 o'clock, P. NJ on horseback, for
New Haven-went at the rate of II miles per hour,
and reached the latter place in season to step on
board the cars for Boston, (va) Springfield, deliver
ing his copies of the Message before o'clock P. NJ.
Before S P NJ, the Message was copied and distri
butcd among the subscribers to the Bee. The pub
fishers of this paper are deserving of much credit
for their enterprise this as well as on other oc
casions.
&C. The Brattleboro Eagle gave us the first copy
Of the Message printed in this State. These pub
fishers are not very slow on news.
