PHILADELPHIA, June Ist, 1783, Sin :— In my lest letter to your Excellency I took oceasion to mention that it wasof great importance to the state at this timeto have a representation here; as pointsin which by its present situation it is particularly interested are dayly and will be dayly agitated. It is also of importance at this moment tothe United States (not only irom general considerations.) but because we have a very thin repre- sentation in Congress and are frequently unable to trans- act any of those matters which require nine states. I wish your Excellency would urge a couple of Gentlemen to come on, a8 it becomes highly inconvenient to me to remain here, and asI have staid the full time to be ex- ected. Per obeecyeauiieinonan regret the intemperate proceed- ings mong people in different parts of the state, in vi n of a treaty the faithful observance of which so deeply interests the United States. z Surely the Stateof New York with its capital and its frontier ports(on whichfits importantturr trade depends) in the hands of the British troops, ought to take care that nothing is done to furnish a pretext on the other side,even fer delaying much less for reusing the execution of the treaty. We may imagine that the situation of Great Bri- tain puts her under a necessity at all events of fulfiliin her engagements and cultivating the good will of 1 country. This is no doubt her true policy ; but when we feel that passion makes gs depart trem the dictates of reason—when we have seen that passion has had so much influence on the conduct ot the British councils in the whole course of the war—when we recollect that those who govern them are men like ourselves and alike sub- ject to passions and resentments—when we refivet that all the great men in England are not united in the liberal heme of policy with respect to this country and that in ‘anarchy which prevails there is no knowing to whom the reins of government may be committed—when we re- collect how little we are in a conditioa to enforce a com- pliance with our claims—we ought certainly to be cau- tious in what manner we act, especially when we in particular have so much at stake, and should not openly provoke a breach of taith on the other side by setting the exam, An important distinction is not sufficiently aitended to— the fifth article is reoommendatory of the ‘sixth positive. ‘There is no option in the particular states as te any future rosecution confiscation or injury of any kind to penga Eberty or property on account of anything done during the war. It is matter of discretion in the states whether they will comply with the recommendations contained in the fifth article ; but no part of the sixth can be contra- vened by them without a direct breach of public faith and of the confederation. The power of making treaties is oer lodged in Congress. That power includes whatever is essential to the termination of the war—andto the preservation of the general ney. Indemuity to in- dividuals in similar cases is an usual stipulation in trea- bee of peace, of which many preceuents are to be pro- Should it be said that the associations of the people without le authority do not amount to a breach of the public faith, the answer is it the Goverument does not repress them and prevent their having effect it is as much abreach as a formal refusal to comply on its part. In tne eye of a foreign nation if our engagements are broken, it is of no moment whether it is for the want of good inten- tion on the government or for want of power to restrain ita subjects. Suppose a violence committed by an Ameri- can vessel on the vessel of another nation on the high seas, and after complaint made there is no redress given— is ij this a he ~4 against the injured nation, which will ju But if { am not misinformed, there are violations going on in form of lam. I am told that indictments continue to be brought under the former confiscation laws a palpable infraction if true of the sixth article of the treaty ; to whieh an immediate stop ought no doubt to be put. It has been said by some men that the operation of this treaty is suspended “tll the definitive treaty; @ plain sub- ar Whatever is clearly expressed in the provi- sional or preliminary treaty is as Dinding from the mo- ment it is made as the definitive treaty, which in tact only developes explains and fixes more precisely what may have been too generally expressed in the former. Sup- pose the British should now send auey. not only the ne- Freee but all other preperty, and all the public records lo: 1g to us in their possession on the pretence above- stated, we not justly accuse them with breaking faith? Is this not already done in the case of the negroes who have been carried a’ , though founded upon a very different principle, to wit a doubttul construction of the treaty not a denial of its immediate o| ? In fine is it our interest to advance this doctrine and te counte- nance the position that nothing is binding ‘till the‘defini- tive treaty when there are examples of years intervening be:ween the preliminary and definitive treaties ? ‘Sir Guy Carleton in his correspondence has appeared toconsider the treaty es immediately obligatory and it has been the policy I have persued to promote the same idea. I am aotindeed apprehensive of a renewal of the war ; for peace is nec to Great Britain. I think it also most probable her disposition to conciliate this country will outweigh the resentments which a breach of our en- g°gements is caiculated to inspire. But with a treat, which has exceeded the hopes of the most sanguine, whic in the articles of boundaries and of fisheries is even better than we asked, circumstanced too as this country is with res) to the means of making war, I think it the height of wudence to run any risk—Great Britain without recommencing hostilities may evade parts of the treaty. She may keep possession of the Frontier posts, she may obstruct the free enjoyment of the fisheries—she may be indisposed to such extensive concessions in matters of cannes it is our be atiad to a at—in all ast she would find no opposition from any foreign power, and we are not in dooubtion to oblige herto Sn thinge-it we imagine that France obviously embai herself in her finances would renew the war to oblige Great Britain to @ restoration of our frontier rs nod toa compliance — the stipulations respecting the fisheries (especially after a seabset th of the treaty on our part) we speculate much atrandom. Observations might be made on the last article which would prove that it is not the policy of France to support our interests there. Are we prepared forthe mere gratification of our resentments, to put those great national objects to the hazard ?—to leave our West- ern frontier in a state of insecurity ? to relinquish the furr trade and to abrige our pretensions to the fisheries? Do we think national character so light a thing as to be will- ag Segregien the public faith to individu Soe lh ? the case be fairly stated: Great Britain and Ame- Tica two independent nations at war ; the fermer in pos- session of considerable posts and territory belonging to the latter, and also of the means of obstructing cer- po sc pape sdvantages in which it is deeply inte- rested. It isnot uncommon in treaties of peace fer the uti possi- detia to take place. Grat Britain however in the pre- rent instance stipulates to restore all our posts and terri- tories in her possession, she even adds an extent not with- in our original claims more than a compensation for a small part ceded in another quarter—she [teed to re- admit usto a partici mn of the fisheries. at equiva. lent do we give forthis?.. . Congress are to recommend the resioi of property to those who have adhered to her and expressly engage that no future injury shall be done them in person liberty or property—This is the sole condition on our part where there is not an imme- diate ity (the recovery of debt and liberation of ners being mutual, the former indeed only declaring what the rights hod nid op faith, which all civilized nations hold seered, would have dictated without it)—and stands asthe single equivalent for all the restitutions and con- cessions to be made by Great Britain. . .. Will it be honest in us to violate this condition or will it be prudent to put this in competition with all the important matters to be eye ‘on the other side? WILL FOREIGN NA- 1ONS BE WILLING TO UNDERTAKE ANY THING WITH US OR FOR US WHEN THEY FIND a NCE TO BE PLACED be ie eras ? * ve om! saying any ig of theimpolicy, by our severity, of inducing a great number of ure(ul citizens, whose situations donot make them u proper object of Te- sentment, to abandon the Country to form settlements that will hereafter become our rivals animated win a hatredtous which will descend to their . thing however can be more unwise than to 01 ‘e are doing to le the shores and wilderness sootia, a 00 ay wale bs ita position will become a petiter with us,am: jor things,in that branch of com- merce on which our ‘igation and navy will essential) depend.

To your Excellency I freely deliver my sentiments be- cancel oon persuaded you cannot bs stranger to the force of these considerations—I fear not even to hazard them to the justice and good sense of those whom I have the honor to represent. I esteem it my duty to do both, because the question is important to the interests of the State, in ite relation to the United States.

J. R, Sands, Gen. Wool, the Hon. John Bar- ney, and others. Gen. Wool has been engaged tor some time past in reviewing the fortifications at Newport, New London, and New York—having spent the last week here. We found them all more or Jess busy in preparing for the great Nautical Exhibitions of this day—in conjunction with the Nautical Committee of the Institute, which is composed of Jadge De Kay, of New Jersey, the chairman, M.

Now, at Albany, Philadelhia, and all over England, the ladies are the coastant visiters at agricultural exhibitions, and their presence gives Sreat cclat to these meetings.

And here we should say that Messrs. French and Heiser bear their proportion of the ex- pense of the exhibition with the American Institute. At ten o’clock A.M. precisely, a gun trom the North Carolina will anaounce the commencement of the regattas,the first of which will be of sail boats, if the wind is tavorable. Other guns wiil be fired from the North Carolina from time to time, at the running up of a signal trom the garden, say one at 11 A.M., atl P.M,2P.M, &c., each of which will give notice of the com: mencement of a race. .

At precisely one quarter to 4 P.M., a signal gun will be fired from, the North Carolina to call the attention of the multitude in the garden. And immediately before the explosion there will be fired, as before, three guns in rapid succession, and at four o’clock, to a second’s time, the brig Volta will be blown into 1,766,901 pieces, according to our calculation.

Lrve Boats.—We understand Mr. Francis, the inventor of “ The Life Boat,” is unable to give an exhibition to-day before the American Institute at Castle Garden, for the following seasons:—lIst, he expected to have had the use of three boats that have saved lives from wrecks at sea, but the ships having them on board sailed a few days since. 2d, the darge life cutter, built for the navy of the two Sicilies, was ordered away sooner than was expect- ed, and coms little can be added to the reputation of the boat by a smooth water exhibition—this is the best reason of all, forshe is only at home, and in her true element whea ponesing wrecks in aw- ful storms at sea, and has done a large business of late in that line. Extract from a letter, from the Captain of the Steamer Cla- rion, recently lost on the North Coast of Cuba, to the in- ventor of Francis’ Life Boat :— “The sea would make a fair breach over the ‘Life Boat,’ still she would be buoyant although pert of the holes t let the water out of the bottom were stopped; @ man was lowered into the boat to open all the holes, which, notwithstanding almost every sea went over her, irom end toend, she immediately would free herseif and sit like a duek on the water. In this instance none but a Life Boat could have gone from the wreck tothe sloop. After gettin, mores and baggoge on board the sloop, found her too small to take the whole crew, consequently four stopped behind on the wreck, among which was my son, considering his life more safe on the wreck, with the ‘Life Boat,’ to de- pend on to get on shore, than he would have been on board the crowded sloop. Many other Performances were made with the ‘Life Boat,’ that would have been madness to attempt with en ordinary boat.” vPRPOOL, June 19, 1842, Ma.

Alterman Croxivs said he had received names from two demvcratic committees of his ward, and be should also feel doubt as to what to do with them under these circum: stances. Alderman Davies said he hoped that after the avowal by the Alderman of the Tenth, the “ great bell-weather” of the party, it was incumbent on the majority not to ap- point any p-rson tor inspector, who now held auch ottice. Alderman Poany said that he was ghilget to the geatie- man of the 15th, who was the leader of the great coon party, for the ¢ompliment, but he should still persist in his posiuon of provesing against the appointment by this Commoa Council.

The Colonel was brought into cowt a little after 10, He did not appear quite av contident or bright-looking as belore,nor so gaily dresseu, Yet there was no very materi- al alteration in his appearance from the lant trial. Messrs. Evarts, Emmet, Price, and Edmonds appeared as counsel on his behalt, aud Mc. Whiting, District Attorney, with Mr. G. F. Allen, for the prosecution. An effort was made by his counsel to have the trial put off, material witnesses, it was asserted, whicn had been expected from Baltimore, Newburgh, &c., not having yet arrived. ‘The Court, however, decided that the trial must be forthwith proeesded in, suificieut tim having already been allowed, ‘lhe names of jurors were called, but 4 suiticient mumber not appearing, direction was given that tweuty-five talesmeu be summoned trom the bouy ol the couuty. A dvlay of some hours then toon place. Alter severe scruday,® jury was finatly obtaued. Mr. Allen, on the part of the prosecution, then addressed the jury, stating that the prisouer was indicted for forgery in the 34 degree—that the clerk of wir. Joshua Clibborn, on going to the post otfice on the morning of the 234 Aug, 1341, tound w setter directed to Mr. C., trom New Urleaus; at is as follows :—[ Cue counterpart of this letter, the direo- tion only being d.tfereat, was sent to Brown, Brothers & Co., and Was published onthe former trial. We, however, repeat it, as it conveys the foundation on which the pro- ceedings rest.) New Oazeans, 10th Aug., 1841. Josnvua Cuisporx, Esq, New York Deas Sin—Our friend, Mr. John P. Caldwell, now on a visit to Virginia, wait tha: he wishes to command about twenty-five or thirty thousand dollars. As the hest meansof meeting our friend's wishes on the subjeet, we have taken leave to enclose him a letter of introduction to you, with a request to afford him the facilities he requires, provided you find it convenient, safe, and profitable to yourself. Mr. Caldwell has in our hands, (and subject to no charges, one thousand and eleven bales of cotton, weighing 465,060 ibs, quality averaging “ good fair,” and worth in this market at present prices, at least fity thou- sand dollars. ‘This cotton arrives late inthe city, and by our advice has been held to sell withthe new crop, now just come in. Mr. Caldwell and his family are amongst the very fiew planters of this state who are entirely free irom debt, and he isa solvent and very worthy gentleman. The cotton in our hands constitutes the last year’s crep of Mr. Caldwell and his mother, and the whole of it is subject to his order ; therefore any arrangement made, predicated on the cotton, will be perfectly sate. ‘ If Mr. Caldwell can do no better, he is authorized to value on our heuse for any sum not ing thirty thousand dollars (at not less than thirty days sigut,) and his bills should be duly honored and protected. Should he determine on this course, we shall ieel greatly obliged if you will procure the negotiation of any billsdrawn by him on us to the above amt. We shall also be thankful for any attention shown our friend during his stay in your city. ‘With much respect we remain, ‘our ob’dt serv'ts MAUNCEL, WHITE, & CO. Mr. Clibborn, not wishing to enter into the transaction him: mentioned it to Mr. Corrie, who undertook it in his house. Mr. Clibborn notified “ John P. Alexandria, to that effect, (having also re- ter, purporting to be frm such.) Intwoor ‘s he received another letter from “ Caldwell,” enclosing bills of exchange on Maunsel White & Co., in favor of Corrie, which were accompanied by an order for the cotton. Mr. Corrie endorsed the bilis—they were discounted by the Bank of America, and the bills of that institution, (being 26 $1000, one of $500, and one of $100) sent by Mr. Clibborn to “Caldwell,” with an intimation that the marks and numbers haa been retained. Noneof these bills were afterwards found in possession of Ed- wards, but it would be proved that he had exchanged them, and that bills given to him in exchange, were found in histrunk. The testimony, for the most part, appears to be a repetition of that on the former trial, and therefore unnecessary to publish. The Court sat to a late hour last evening, and the cause will probably ocowpy the whole of to-day. Cireult Court, Before Judge Kent. Ocr.17.—Peck and Sayre vs. Storrs.—This wasan ac- tion relative to a claim for $200, which it is asserted hes already Deen paid (alluded to yesterday). The jury could not agree, were discharged. General Sessions, Before Recorder Tallmadge and Judge Lynch. Mansnatt J. Bacon, Esq. acting District Attorney. Ocr. 17.—Rew at the Watch House —Samuel W. D. Cook and Edwin Ferguson, city watchmen, were tried for col- laring and choking John J. Meyer, another watchman, at the fourth district watca house, on the night of the 11th of August. The rumpus took place on pay night, and Meyer, on receiving his money, said to the captain of the watch who ras pay ing it, that he had better keep it, and jis debts. He was then ordered out of doors, and in Going, the defendants oA along for the insult thus offered to the the watch. For the defence it was proved that was ordered out of the watch house for Ssolence, aud that defendants aided in obeying his orders. The jury found an immediate verdict of not ilty. sible Buaglar.—Andrew McGurkin was tried for bur: lary in the third degree, in breaking into the stable of Sonn H. Cooper, Jr. 104 Third avenue, on the night of the aad ber’and stealing « bridle, horse covers, ke worth $0. ‘The pro was found in his possession, and as no defeuce was offered, the jury found him guilty, and the Court sentenced him to State prison for three years. Drial of James Egerton for Burglary.—This bird was tried on an indictment for burglary in the second degree, in entering the store and dwelling of Felix Rousseau, 96} Duane street, on the 17th of June last, and stealing three froek coats, one dross coat, and twelve yards of cloth, ve lued at $156. Officer Stokely testified that he errested Egerton on the 29th of July, in the street, with one of the stolen coats on his back. ‘The defence proved by George Newburg and Charles Slater that they saw prisoner buy the coat of apediar, at the corner of West Broadway and Anthony street. This evidence was not of a very satis- factory character tothe minds of the jury, as they re- mained absent for a length of time, and finally returned & verdict of guilty. Counsel for defence then asked for an arrest of judgment, which was granted till Friday, and the prisgner was committed to prison to await his sentence to the State prison for not less then five yeas.

The acting District Attorney, objected to the adinission of the pay testimony, wi ‘wes confirmed by the court, and the defence then ‘Wm. 8.

Mr. and Mrs, Brougham closed their engagement atthe Park last signl 16 atolerably numerous audi- ence. Mrs. Brougham ise very beautiful woman, possessed of considerable talent for comedy, and would make a very valuable acquisition to the stock company. Her husband has much comic hu- mor, and as an actor in Power's line of characters, is far above mediocrity. Simpson, with his usnal want of taet, brings our Handey’s “ Moses in Eg: pe ith Rossim’s addi- tions. The part ‘composed | 'y Handel is of the maer magnificent school of sacred musie, consisting e« some ot the most glorious choruses extant, writtem in fugue and double fuge, with a massiveness grandeur which no other composer ever ayproached, Saving, perhaps, Beethoven, in his Hallelujah to the Mount of Ohves. Rossini’s portion is of a mach lighter kind, the most pleasing being the “ Prayer” and the quartetto, “‘Mi mauca la voce.” The whole, however, is only fitted for the church or the concert room, and smacks strong of impiety, when dragged on the stage. Itwas produced a few seasons at Exeter Hall, in London, in superb style, the prin- ci ingers being Miss Rainsforth, Mise Masson, ‘iss P. Horton, Henry Phillips, Harrison, and Lef. fler, with a splendid band, and a chorus numerous and perfect. At the Park Theatre, in place of the above array of talent, we have Mr. Seguin, in our opinion a very inferior singer, Mrs. Baily, and Mrs. night, formerly very pretty singers, but now to be numbered with the past ; Mr. Shrivall, a better singer than Pearson, but very inferior to Manvers; Mr. Archer, whom we don’t know, and Mr. Seguin, possessed of a good voice, but ponderous and un- wieldy, a novice in sacred music, and immeasura- bly inledbe to H. Phillips or Letiler. The band to be engaged we know nothing of, but if it be the usual Park band, with a few additions, we predict its incompetency ; beside, there is no leader in this country who can touch that pal ep of music, and only one in London fully up to the mark,which is F. Cramer. With this cureory review we predict a failure of this grand sacred drama Jur only sorrow is, that the mischief will not fall solely on-the heads of Mr. Simpson's ill-advisers. Mr. Sutton gives a grand concert this evening at the Apollo, assisted hye Begaes, Kossoweki, Miss Emeline Sutton, Mr. Timm, &c. This lady’s great fame as a vocalist will ensure a full room The New York Philharmonic Society give their first concert on Monday, Noy. 7th. We are told this society is managed by a clique, to exclude resi- dent artistes. We hope not, as we have and thall always expose a clique, either in politics, finance or music. Who are the directors of this affuir? and how many piano forte players have been elected? Who are ‘the singers to be engaged during the sea- gon t and who is the leader of the band? To the latter query we answer, Penson. lame Mecovino Malone gives her concert on Thursday next, assisted by Mr. and Mre Horn, very deserving people, no doubt, but who never drew a shilling to any concert. We are sorry Mrs. Malone did not procure more attraction, as we consider the lady made a lee-lurch at De Begnis’ concert,and nearly shipwrecked her musical reputation. Michell has been playing “ Amilie.” The Olym- pic is celebrated for burlesque, but we think Mitch- ell has unintentionally better succeeded than usual. The opera is perfectly ridiculous. = Frederick Warecen, an eminent pianist, has just arrived from Germany. He is the brother of the Rakeman now among us, and both are splendid ar- tists on the piano. Oysrens anp Game.— It will be seen by the adver- tisement of young Downing, so long known at his father’s establishment in Broad street, that he has started one for himself in Fourth, second door e st of Broadway, for the supply of families with oys- ters, poultry, and game. Jno the oyster braoch I need not say much, only that he starts ripe, with long experience from under the tuition of one of the best restaurants of the day, and his prices are mode- rate ; yea, cheap. First rate oysters at 10s. and 12s, and upwards, a hundred, er at 8s. or 6s.,varying ac- cording tosize. Inthe poultry branch, I need but say, that he has made arrangements to secure his supplies from the well known Parker, of Franklin market, and that he will sell them at the market price. His location is 0 convenient to the sur- rounding residents to have a hot oys'er or game supper sent to their house in the evenings. Downing is a worthy person, and deserv: tronized, and I hope that he m: NNSYLVANIA COLLEGE—Medical Dem — Ibert street above Eleventh, Fhiladelphia—-Gession of 1842, ~43.—The Lectures in this Institution will be resumed on re eae of November, and ve coutinued until the first of arc!
