CIRCULAR.

rINIIE UNDERSIGNED proposes TO publish a
Il political Weekly paper in the German Ian
guage, in the City Of Washington, in support OF the
principles by which the Administration OF Gene
raj Tdylor came into power, and being desirous 10
obtain the aid and cooperation Of the Whig party
he would respectfully state the reasons which, IN
his estimation, make il desirable and necessary
that such paper should be established at the sea
Of Government.
l. The number of those who use the German lam
guage their medium of intercourse is upwards OF
Three Millions, and this number is constantly in
Creasing by immigration.
2. The name of Democrats being the appellation
of the liberal or popular party of Germany, 10
which all the immigrants before their emigration
belonged, they do, of course range themselves with
the party bearing that appeation in this country,
as soon as they are able 10 exercise the elective
franchise; and the more go, as the country teens
with Democratic papers in the German language,
whose particular object and anxiety II Is TO use this
interpretation 10 the best advantage.
3. Although there are few Whig papers in the
country they bear principally local character,
and, relying for their support more on local patron
age than on their subscription lists, they do gene
rally stand fall with the success or defeat OF the
Wing party in their particular section.
4. The Germans, however, being an intelligent
and reading people, are accessible 10 sound argu-
ment, and paper conducted with upnghtncss, and
speaking the plair truth, will be able, by degrees,
10 overcome pr,Judices, correct errors and nisap-
prchonsions, and by it's own direct influence, as
we'll az by its influence upon the local Whig pa
pcfbs now IN tblsttnCts WILL IL II ipptus pFbuutt
The desired effect, and gain the rejecting and think
ing, that is the influential, portion Of the German
citizens, over 10 the Wing ranks.
D. The undersigned is well aware that he has
many and serious obstacles to overcome, but rely
ing upon the power Of truth and the cooperation
of the Wing party, on account of the intrinsic
merits Of his enterprise docs not fear 10 be charged
with entertaining too sanguinc hopes, If he antici
pates a satisfactory result.

HOW TIE SPY WAS DETECTED.


An ingenious mechanic in Washington has in
vented kind of Geographic hollow bullet, con-
sisting of Two parts screwed together. In This
bullet despatch of several "a written thin
aper can be compressed, and#ffien fred from
musket toa considerable distance. In time of
war thi3 contri7ance might be made very useful
in conveying intelligence into besieged fortress
or city. The screw bullet, however, is no new
thing, as the following account will prove:
Ia the year l776, when Gov. Geo. Clinton re-
sided in Albany, there came stranger to his
house one morning, soon after the family had
b. eakiased. He was welcomed by the household
and Hospitality entertained. A breakfast was or
dered, and the Governor, with his wife and
daughter, who were sitting before the fire
ployed in knitting entered into conversation with
him about the affairs Of the country, which natu-
rally led to the inquiry what was his occupation
The emotion and hesitation with which the stran-
ger replied, aroused the suspicious of the keen
siabted Clinton. lie communicated his suspicious
To his wife and daughter, who closely watched
his every word and action. Unconscious of this,
and finding he had fallen in among enemies, the
stranger was seen to take something from his
pocket and swallow it, Madam Clinton, with
the ready tact of the women of these troublous
times, went quickly into the kitchen, ordered hot
coffee to be immediately prepared, and added to
it strong dose Of tcptdf smetic. The stranger,
delighted with the smoking beverage, partook
freely of it, and madam Clinton soon had the
satisfaction of seeing it produce the desired effect.
True 10 Scripture, ''out Of his own mouth was he
condemned" A silver bullet appeared, which,
upon examination, was unscrewed and found to
contain an important despatch to Burgoyne. The
SPY was tried convicted, and executed and the
bullet is still preserved in the family.
