This is looked upon, very justly, as it seems to us, as tantamount to converting these public functionaries into spies upon their neighbors acts and words! M. de Montbel, the minister of public instruction, has named commissioners to inquire into "the political and religious tendency" of the lectures delivered by Messrs. Cousin, Villemain, and Guizot, professors of literature, philosophy, and history, in the university of France. The following is from the Journal de la Mense:-"The bishop of Nancy having the intention to preach on assumption day, invited the members of the royal court to come and hear him. These magistrates knowing well that in his sermons that the prelates respects neither the laws of the state, nor the rules of good taste, replied that they would join the procession only. The bishop, mortified at this answer, ordered the cathedral doors to be closed aiter the congregation had assembled, so that when the royal court came to attend the procession they were unable to enter, and as it rained were obliged to take shelter in a neighboring house. When the doors were re-opened, the cannons were not waiting as usual to receive the court, the prelate having forbidden honors to be rendered to them. In passing the different public authorities, such as prefects, and others, the bishop bowed to them; but when he passed the royal court he turned his back and threw up his head with a haughty air, that was remarked by all the persons present." Five departments of Brittany (France) formed themselves into a confederation" to resist any acts of arbitrary power, which the new ministry might commit. The ministry ordered seizure to be made of all the Paris papers which contained the agreement or "act of federation;" but 20,000 copies escaped. A letter to the editor of the N. Y.

NILES & SON, AT $5 PER ANNUM, PAYABLE IN ADVANCE. We publish this week what probably is the last regular message of gov. Shulze, of Pennsylvania, and the first regular message that we remember to have seen of the chief of the Cherokees, to the legislative committee and council of his nation. They are both very interesting papers. That of gov. Shulze abounds with his usual practical common sense; and we hope will be the means of doing much good to his native state. We also give another very interesting article, which will be universally read-a sketch of the speech of James Monroe, ex-president of the United States, in the Virginia convention. An attentive perusal of it, will shew the elements that are at work in that body, and afford much information as to things past, as well as instruction as to what may happen. A fourth article will likewise claim perusal-the letter of Mr. O'Connell, as to the character of WASHINGTON, and concerning negro slavery. It shews that gentleman to be a theorist. If he were practically acquainted with the things that he speaks of, he would hold another language-though, perhaps, in the abstract, not at all change his principles. NEW YORK Because of its peculiar characteristics we shall specially notice the returns of the votes given før senate and assembly in the city of New York.

The regular Tammany Hall ticket was all elected, with three exceptions; and those named on it not specially opposed in the division of the "regular nom✩ ination" party, had an average of more than 10,000 votes; but Mr. Myers, on that ticket, had only 4,978, Mr. Dayton 4,344, Mr. Arnold 4,931. On the divided Tammany ticket, Mr. Stillwell had 8,912, Mr. Tucker 6,423, and Mr. Van Schaick 6,139 Mr. Stillwell was also on the Masonic Hall nomination, and he and Mr. Tucker were elected. For the working men and mechanics ticket, the aver age vote was about 6,150-but Ebenezer Ford having 6,166-was elected. This is what the "Courier" called the "infidel ticket."

This is the first merchandize transported west, on this section of the Pennsylvania canal. The difference be tween carriage by wagons and boats, per ton, from this place to Pittsburg, is a saving of about six dollars in favor of boats." IMPORTANT RUMOR. A vessel arrived at New York from Trepanti, (island of Sicily) which port she left on the 24th of Sept, reports that it was in circulation there and believed, that the British and French forces had taken possession of the forts upon the Dardanelles, and that the British fleet had passed through into the Black sea. The captain of the vessel also spoke a British brig from Smyrna, which confirmed the above report. These events are not without the range of probability, but we think the time for their occurrence has not arrived. A general scramble will depend on the measures Nicholas may think proper to adopt-and, when it does occur, he will take to himself the most valuable portion of Turkey. MAINE ELECTION. The last received Saco Palladium repeats the statement, that, Mr. Usher is elected to the Senate from York county, and this election, it farther says, secures "a majority of the senators elect to the republican party-there being nine republicans and eight Jacksonites chosen." The passage of the first boat along the Juniata divisiop of the canal was celebrated at Lewistown, on the 29th ult. in a very spirited manner. The first lock was named James Clark, in compliment to one of the most competent acting engineers engaged on the division. The Pittsburg Gazette remarking on the above event, says, we may "expect that the navigation will be open next spring from Pittsburgh to Philadelphia, except about one hundred miles, from Blairsville to Lewistown. What effect will this produce upon the price of transportation from Philadelphia to Pittsburg? "From Pittsburg to Blairsville, by land, is forty-three miles, and carriage is eight dollars per ton.-By the canal, the distance between the same places is seventythree miles, and freight is two dollars and forty cents per ton. So that transportation by land costs at the rate of eighteen and three-fourth cents per ton per mile; while The Portland Courier of the 28th ult. publishes a list of the house of representatives, designating those for Hunton and those for Smith, the result of which is that there are elected 75 for Hunton, 62 for Smith, and 4ics sentiments unknown. VOL. XXXVII-No. 12. *Nominated at Tammany Hall. on the canal it only costs three and one-third cents per ton per mile. "The probability is, that the freight on the canal will be considerably reduced, but supposing it to continue as at present, we may make the following calculations:-The canal reduces the land transportation two hundred miles, and in its place substitutes three hundred miles of canal navigation. Then three hundred miles on the canal, at three and one-third cents per ton per mile, makes ten dollars per ton, and one hundred miles upon the turnpike, at eighteen and three-fourth cents per ton per mile, makes eighteen dollars and seventy-five cents per ton. Total from Philadelphia, by the canal and turnpike, twenty-eight dollars and seventy-five cents per ton. Again, from Philadelphia to Pittsburg, by land, three hundred miles, at eighteen and three-fourth cents per ton per mile, is fifty-six dollars and twenty-five cents. Difference in favor of canal and turnpike, twenty-seven dollars and fifty cents." aside for want of a market, might also be obtained at a low rate. English negro cloths are now at 92 cents a yard." Cloths of the description here recommended are now made at the Canton factory, and are sold in Charleston at thirty-five cents a yard. Yet the free traders of South Carolina complain of the extortion and the monopoly of the New England manufacturers. [Bos. Courier. The Savannah Mercury, of the 29th ult. has the following article "Dreadful effects of the tariff. It will be recollected that our southern politicians, some fifteen months ago, prophecied the ruin of our planters, from the additional cost which the tariff would impose on coarse woollens and negro cloths. Welsh plains were then worth in this market about 62 cents per yard. McDuffie and Co., backed by the Georgia Journal, "calculated" that the price would be increased 60 per cent. from the operation of the American system. Now, one fact is worth a hundred arguments, and the history of one day will out weigh a thousand prophecies. A very extensive lot of heavy Welsh plains were offered at Mr. B. Herbert's auction yesterday, and but a small portion of them went off heavily at 38 a 39 cents. The price having declines! since the tariff of 1829, about 30 per cent. ANTHRACITE COAL.

Such are the facts developed by the operation was necessary for those interested to set grates in private of the American system. families, free of charge, and, in some instances, to supply a small quantity of coal, to induce Individuals to burn it. From that time to the present, the consumption has gone on in an almost incredible degree. This year the quantity brought from the Schuylkill mines will exceed 75,000 tons; that from the Lehigh, 16,000; the demand notwithstanding, far exceeds the supply. The Delaware and Hudson Co. will bring to market this year from 8 to 10,000 tens-not having completed their works until late in the season. This company are making arrangements for the ensuing year to bring from 70 to 100,000 tons; the cost of which, deliverable at tide water, they calculate from actual expenditure, not to exceed three dollars per ton;-affording an article superior to either Lehigh or Schuylkill, and by many preferred to Liverpool, at a rate (allowing a very extravagant profit to the company) less than one half the price at which the coal has been selling in previous years. COTTON SAIL DUCK. A correspondent of the Charleston Courier makes a calculation of the amount of cotton which would be required to furnish sails for our commercial marine. The registered, enrolled, and licensed tonnage of the United States in 1828, was 1,534,190.-The quantity of duck required for a ship of 300 tons, is estimated at 2,525 yards, (of different Nos.) weighing 2,233 lbs. A larger ship requires less canvass in portion to her tonnage, and a smaller vessel more. A ship of 300 tons, the writer thinks is a fair medium. Then, if 300 tons require 2,233 lbs. of cotton for a suit of sails, 1,534,190 tons will require 11,419,487 lbs. or 38,065 bales of 300 lbs. each. And supposing each suit of sails to last two years on an average, the increased demand for cotton, should the use of cotton sails become general, would be 19,032 bales per annum,-to say nothing of the demand for foreign vessels and vessels of war. - LABORING FEMALES.

C.) paper, Nov. 13, 1804, urges the citizens of New Engfand to undertake the manufacture of negro cloths. The following paragraph is extracted from his essay. "The fabric recommended is a warp of cotton, to be filled with a wool dyed brown, or in its natural color, to be 7-8ths of a yard wide, to be well-milled, of a good thickness, and dressed on the surface. For such cloth from 55 to 70 cents per yard might be readily obtained in Charleston, in September and October. The stained cotton could be bought in Charleston for from 16 to 20 cents a pound; a quantity of wool which is now thrown STEEL AND FILE FACTORY AT PITTSBURG. In addition to the other manufactures of iron in and near Pittsburg, the Gazette of that city, informs that there is an establishment owned by Messrs. Broadmeadow & Co. in which steel and files are manufactured to considerable extent and excellence. A large number of the mechanics and artisans of Pittsburg attest the good quality of the files manufactured, in a public advertisement under their proper names. These files are made of steel which is also manufactured in the same establishment, and are asserted, from experience, to be fully as good as English files other than cast steel, and sold as low. Two kinds of steel are made; the 1st, pronouneed equal to English blister, is sold at 124 cents; and common blister at 8 cents per lb. NEW SILK REEL. We take pleasure in copying the following description of a new silk reel, invented by Mr. Gideon B. Smith, of this city.

When the boat struck the wharf at West Point, the band of that establishment, which was paraded on the deck, accompanied by the officers of the post, struck up the enlivening strain of Washington's march. The main body of the cadets were paraded on the hill above. Every crag within sight was surmounted with a cadet; and the whole (says a friend who was on board the boat,) presented one of the most beautiful and imposing sights 1 ever beheld. [N. Y. Com. Advertiser. A silk reel has been invented by Gideon B. Smith, and may now be seen at the office of the American Farmer, which, it is thought, in consequence of its simplicity, will supersede the Italian reel. The Piedmontese reel, the most approved one used in Europe, and the one recommended in the manual published by congress, is a complicated piece of machinery, requiring the use of four cog wheels, and other difficult work, to effect the vibration of the traversing bur-which vibratory motion is necessary for laying the thread on the bars of the reel in an oblique and crossing manner, to prevent adhesion. This vibratory motion is effected in Mr. Smith's reel by a cylinder, with an oblique continuous groove, which is traversed by a pin attached to the traversing bar. The cylinder is fixed upon an axle, at the end of which is a drum from which a band works upon a pulley on the axle of the reel. The drum is 18, and the pulley 10 inches diameter; their size, therefore, prevents the possibility of the band slipping. A hudle fixed near the rim of both drum and pulley, enables the reeler to turn the reel with either at pleasure. The operation of the reel is precise- MR. RANDOLPH.

The cause now decided in the circuit court, is to be taken up to the supreme court of the United States by a writ of error. The trial of another case, we understand, is expected to commence on Monday morning. [N. Y. E. Post. [The other cases were postponed, and are to be tried at the next term of the court. But it was supposed the legislature will dispense with the trial of the other issues, in consequence of the loss of time and expense incurred, the important facts having been twice passed upon.] MR. BARROZO PEIREIRA. The "National Gazette" of the 7th inst. says.-The case of M. Barrozo, as late charge d'affaires of Portugal, which was to be argued this morning (Saturday last), in the district court for the city and county of Philadelphia, has been postponed again until Saturday next. Mr. Dallas, the district attorney of the United States, presented himself to the court, and remarked that, while taking no part at present in the controversy, he was instructed by the department of state to submit, for the information of the court, copies of all the documents and correspondence in possession of the government, which could throw any farther light upon the subject: at the same time he read, by direction of the court, the opinion of the attorney general, given at the request of the department, which had been transmitted with the other papers. This opinion is decidedly favorable to M. Barrozo's claim of privilege. BUENOS AYRES. General Juan Jose Viamont is at the head of the government. Matters were tranquil. A te deum has been celebrated for the termination of civil war. Rejoicings and illuminations had taken place.The French consul had returned from Monte Video, and resumed his official functions. It appears from the British packet of Sept. 5th, that the revenue of Buenos Ayres for 1828, was $3,667,783, and that there was a deficit at the end of the year of $13,377,449. MONTE VIDEO. A change has taken place in the government; the ministers of war and finance having resigned, (being compelled to resign) and general Fructuosa Riv them. By a decree of Sept. 10, Dr. Joseph Obas and era and general Lavelleja being appointed to succeed Miguel Barreiro are appointed to assist in the ministries of the government and of the treasury, with the title of encargados. MINISTER TO MEXICO. The Baltimore Gazette states, on good authority, that the appointment of minister plenipotentiary from the United States to Mexico, has been offered to Christopher Hughes, esq. now at Brussels. GIGANTIC STEAM BOAT. About eighteen months ago, we published an account of an immense steam boat, which was being constructed at the Hague. This vessel has left the river Maas, for the coast of England. She is two hundred and fifty feet long. When she was launched, she hung while going off the slips, and three or four days elapsed before she got fairly off. This gave the French an opportunity to crack a joke-they said "our Dutch neighbors surpass all other nations in the size of their steam boats, having built one so long, that it was several days running off the stocks!" This vessel has cost 100,000. She is to ply between the Hague and Batavia. The object of sending her to the coast of England, is to try her strength, previously to her being despatched to Batavia. She has four masts, and is 31 feet three inches in the beam. [N. Y. Cou. NEGRO DEALERS AND PIRATES-well met. A privateer, or pirate, brig, under Buenos Ayrean colors, lately captured a Brazillian slave-ship off the coast of Africa, and, putting the officers and crew into the long boat, discharged their cannon at it, and sunk it, so that no one was saved-if the pirates, alias privateersmen, had been fired |
