Wliereus the Senate and House of
Repreieatntivei of the United Stales, by
their Resolution, approved on the se

did declare that Missouri shall be ad

footing with the original States, in all
reapocts whatever, upon the fundamen
tal condition that the fourth clause of
'the tweuty-sixth section of the third ar
ticle of the Constitution, submitted on
the part of said State to Congress, shall
Sever be construed to authorize the pas
sage of any law, and that no law shall
be passed in conformity thereto, by
Which any citizen of either of the States
4n this Union shall be excluded from the
enjoyment of auy of the privileges and

titled under the Constitution of the U.

of the said State, by a solemn Public

and shall transmit to the President of the
United States, on or before the fourth
Monday of November next, an authen

ceipt whereof, the President, by Procla
mation, shall announce the fact: where
upon, and without any further proceed
ing on the part of Congress, the admis

considered as complete. Now, foras
much as the good people of this State
have, by the most solemn and public act
in Iheir power, virtually assented to the
said fundamental condition, when, by
their Representatives in full and free
Convention assembled, they adopted the
Constitution of this State and consented
to be incorporated into the Federal Un
ion and governed by the Constitution of
the United Slates, which, among t other
things, provides that the said Constitu

made iu pursuance thereof, and all Trea
ties made, or which shall be made, under
the authority of the United States, shall
be the Supreme Law of the Laud, and
the Judges in every Slate shall be bound

the operation of the Comtitutien of this
State, except in the mode prescribed by
the Constitution itself ; Nevertheless, as'
the Congress of the Unite)! Slates have
desired this General Assembly to decMre
the assent of this State to said fundamen
tal condition, and forasmuch as such de
claration will neither restrain or enlarge,
limit or extend, the operation of the Con
stitution of the United States, or of this
Slate ; but the said Constitutions will re
main, in all respects, as if the said reso
lution had never passed, and the desired
declaration was never made, and be
cause such declaration will not divert a
ny power, or change the duties of any
of the constituted authorities, of this
State or of the United States,-nor impair
the rights of the people of this Slate, or
impose any additional obligation upon
thorn, but majEpromote an earlier enjoy
moot of their vested federal rights, and
this State being moreover determined to
give to her sister States, and to the world,
the most unequivocal proof of her de
sire to promote the peace and harmony
of the Union : Therefore,
Be it enacted and declared by the Ge
neral Assembly of the State of Missouri,
and it is hereby solemnly and publicly en
acted and declared, That this State has
assented, and does assent, that the fourth
clause of the twenty-sixth section of the
third article of the Constitution of this
State, shall never be construed to au
thorize the passage of any law, and that
no law shall be passed in conformity
thereto, by which any citizen of either

Selections from English Papers.
i Bow-street. —John Brown,—
. Mr. Heron, of Carlisle-street, Soho,
, one of the church-wardens of St.
Anne’s appeared in custody before
the magistrate, to answer the com
plaint of John Brown.
John Brown, or more courteously
speaking, Mr. John Brown, is land
lord of the Vine Inn at Barking, in
Essex, and a jolly landlord he is—
plump, unctuous, and rosy j and be
ing at this time blessed with a fine
pair of blood-shot eyes, his counten
ance looks as glowingly rubicond as
a full-blown Patagonian pony.
Now it appears that John Brown
has a correspondent in London nam
ed Bennett, who some time ago ac
cepted a bill in his favour, and with
in these few days John Brown receiv
ed a letter from a Mr. Denham, in
the City-road, informing him that his
friend Mr. Bennett would not be able
to honour his acceptance, because
Mrs. Bennett had eloped! This
was said news for John Brown. He
felt for his friend who had lost his
wife ; he felt more for himself, who
was likely to lose his money; and,
what with the wife and the money,
and the money and the wife, he was |
puzzled exceedingly. But he was
not the man to sit idly twirling his :
thumbs and bothering his brains, i
when there was a chance of mending
the matter by using his legs; and so, ;
having set his affairs at home in order, l
he came at once to London, deter- ]
mined to do something, though what i
he knew not. Irt the first place he; jj
called upon Mr. Denham, for poor \
Mr. Bennett was from home, roving «
round the country in search of his \
faithless spouse. Well, Brown and ,|
Mr. Denham laid their heads toge-r
ther;and indeed John Brown could [i
not have come more opportunely, for b
Mr. Denham had just got intelligence u
that the runagate Mrs. Bennett, and)
her paramour Lieutenant Herriot,*
were concealed at No. 19 Carlisle-1
street, Soho. “Ho! ho!” thinks|
John Brown to himself, “ now I’ll do§
the business genteelly. I’ll get poor|
Bennett his wife again, I’ll baste
blackguard that took her away, andji,
I’ll get my bill honoured, all quite\\
regular .” And full of this hope andf'
expectation, he instantly sallied forth!
on his way to No. 19, Carlisle-streetij
Soho; but, unfortunately Johnl
Brown’s memory“ lacked retention”?!
—the nineteen imperceptibly evaj,
porated as he went along—by ttH,
time he reached Carlislc-street, ten pi; |
the number had completely
from his recollection, and he
knocked at the door of No. 9.
daughter of the late Magistrate of that
name, and of very retired habits.—
But what was all that to John Brown?
he had as little doubt of his having
mistaken the house as he had of his
own existence. The door was open
ed by one of the maid-servants, and
John Brown, with his flaming physi
ognomy, (strode manfully into the
hall. The girl, with the open door
still in her hand, stared after him
with surprise. “ Shut the door,
young woman !” said the peremptory
John Brown—“ shut the door, young
woman, and show me up to the
Missise.” “My mistress, Sir !” said
the astonished girl;—“ it’s impossi
ble—she is not np.” “ Aye, that
wont do for me,” replied John Brown,
“ 1 must, and I will see her directly
—so show me up stairs/’ Tile "ff! •
became alarmed, and called her fel
low servant, whilst John Brown con
tinued marching about the hall, wip
ing the dewy moisture from his blush
ing brows, and vociferating aloud
“ you baggage ! you know all abaut
it-! But I wo’nt be gammoned!—you
know the mitsiss is in bed with Lieu
tenant Herrlot! But I’ll have him
out in spite of you !”
(It was gjven in evidence that he
said “ Lieutenant Admiral ,” instead
of “ Lieutenant Herriot,” but this
he positively denied.)
At length the two girls together
prevailed upon him to moderate his
choler a little, and write a note to
their mistress. They furnished him
with pen, ink, and paper, and he set
about it lustily; but he wrote, and
wrote, and could write nothing to his
mind. He threw his coat off, and
tried again, but still it would not do.
—Then he recollected that he had
been bled the day before, and that!
the bandage might possibly
the flow of his thoughts as well as the
motion of his pen. Up goes his shirt
sleeve in an instant; and stretching
out his brawny arm, he ordered the
girls to unloose the bandage; but by
this time they had no doubt that ho
nest J. Brown was neither more nor
less than a madman, and one of them,
slipped out of door and requested Mr,
Heron, the churchwarden, who re*
sides immediately opposite, to coma
to him. Mr. Heron came just a<
John Brown had managed to unroll j
the bandage from bis arm, and was I
taking pen in hand to have another!
try at writing. Mr. Heron demand
ed John Brown’s business there, and
John Brown told him all about it
without bating an inch When he
had done, Mr. Heron told him he was
either mad, or was labouring under
some gross mistake. John Brown was
doubly fired at this—his countenance
from a glowing red became of a maho
gany tint, and manifested symptoms of
kicking up a row. But Mr. Heron
was not to be frightened by “ the
blustering of a turkey-cock ,” and so,
quietly grasping John Brown by the
arm, he “ walked him out of the
house”. But Mr. Allen happened to
be from home, and John Brown was,
suffered to go at large. Whereupon
he repaired to the nearest tavern,
took a bumper of brandy and water
to reconglomerate his faculties, and
then applied at this office for a war
rant against Mr. Heron, who, as he
said, had dared to walk him out of
one house into another.
The magistrate having heard the
business, from beginning to end with
great patience, dismissed the war
rant, and told John Brown he might
think himself well off that it was no
worse.
T. his is the end of John Brown’s
adventures as far as we are acquaint
ed with them.
Bed-room Acquaintance.
Mr. Richard Penn, a small, elderly,
quiet sort of a gentleman, was placed
at the bar, charged with the very un
genteel fact of stealing his friend’s
ball-dress.
It was thus :—Mr. James Walker,
a young gentleman who amuses his
fancy and replenishes his purse by
keeping the hair of other gentlemen
in order, was present at a very splen-
f
lid ball given at the assembly-rooms t
?$Mr. Mitchell, near Glare-market, c
Qh Monday night. Mr. Richard Penn a
*as among the company, and made! <
so agreeable, that Mr. James j
If alter was mightily taken with him; j,
it much so, that when the assembly
!roke up he offered him half of his
led. The offer was accepted, and
•eyretired to Mr. James Walker’s.;
apartments —the first floor down the j:
ihimney in the house of Mrs. Rich- 1
Lrdson, of Denmark-court, Strand.
Here they soon fell asleep, and in the
Corning Mr. James Walker rose and
grayed himself in his ordinary habi
liments, with the intention of calling
ipon some gentleman whose chins
We under his especial care; and
Wore he went, he endeavoured to
prevail upon Air. Richard Penn to
rise also; but that gentleman pro
fessed himself exceedingly fatigued
with the delightful exercise of the pre
ceding evening, and requested per
mission to sleep longer. Mr. James
Walker’s mind misgave him rather,
but he was too polite to say any thing;
and so, having wished his new friend
» slumber, he departed to
hivvrti-K^^j&v., He had not
been gone above half an hour, howe
ver, when the wicked Mr. Richard
Penn shook off his drowsiness, rose
from the bed, dressed himself, and
gathered together his kind host’s ball
dress, with several other little things;
he packed them all up in his hand
kerchief, and crept softly down stairs,
thinking, no doubt, to steal off with
them. But in this he was foiled, for
he was stopped in the passage by
Mrs. Richardson, the venerable pro
prietoress, ofthe mansion, who insist
ed on examing his bundle before he
went, and finding in it the property
of her young inmate, she told Mr.
Richard Penn that she had no doubt
he had intended to brush with it, and
she should therefore send for a consta
ble. This threat she instantly per
formed, and Mr Richard Penn was
brought before
I*. uh defence Kb,said he was real
ly so “ mystified” when be awoke at
finding himself in a strange bed, that
he did not know exactly what he was
about, and had no idea but what they
were his own things he was packing
»P-
His Worahip told him he did not
believe him, and fully committed him
to take his trial for the felony. So

LONDON, JULY 30.
Ascent from Cheltenham.— This
afternoon, at half past three o’clock,
Mr. Green, the aeronaut, with a gen
tleman named Griffith of the Chel
tenham Chronicle, made an ascent
with a large and beautiful balloon,
from a yard at the back of the Lon
don hotel, in this town, amidst a
I more numerous assemblage of nobili
yty, gentry, and fashionables, than
was ever witnessed in this plate on
any former occasion. The town was
filled with carriages and vehicles of
every description, & numbers of per
sons from Bath, Bristol, Gloucester,
Tewkesbury, Worcester, and all the
neighbouring counties, thronged at an
early hour towards the object of at
traction. At one o’clock the spa
cious yard was nearly filled with la
dies and gentlemen, and the balloon
was slung up to a rope nearly fifty
j feet high in the centre, when the in
! flation commenced under the direc
-1 tion of Mr. Spinney, the superintend
ent of the gas works, to whom Mr.
Green expressed his thanks, before
he took his flight, for the able manner
in which he had conducted the fill
ing The weather was very favoura
ble, and by three o’clock it was filled,
and displayed a must delightful trans
parent globe, quartered in alternate
colors of blue, red, and yellow, in
size beyond any thing ever before
seen in England.
At half past three o’clock the gen
tlemen entered the car (which was of
most costly and elegant structure, a
gift to the aeronaut by Col. Reddell
of this place) apparently in high spi
rits ; they both displayed the utmost
coolness and intrepidity \ and having
attached the cords, they bade adieu to
their friends, when at the moment the
car was removed to the farther end of
the ground to windward, it was dis
covered that some most wicked per
son bad cut one of the cords that sus
pended it from the net work.—Mr.
Green, with the greatest promptitude,
ordered every person to leave the car,
and when urged to have the cord re
paired, he replied, “ Til not hazard
the cutting of another cord—l do not
depend upon one line only, unloose
the ropes.” The cords were loosen
ed immediately, and the balloon as
cended in the most majestic manner,
amidstthe plauditsofthousands. The
voyagers remained in sight upwards
of twenty minutes and the greatest de
light and satisfaction were expresed
by every beholder. Bets, amount
ing to many thousand pounds, were
depending upon the ascent.
The course of the balloon was due
east; it passed over Northleach, and
Lord Sherborne’s park, and we hear
the aerial voyagers descended near
that place; after being half an hour in
the trackless spacfr. Great numbers c
of gentlemen have rode out to meet
and welcome Messrs. Greene and t
Griffith. 1

f THE ROBIN REDBREAST.
* There is a kind of sanctity attach
-1 ed to the Robin Redbreast, in all the
2 countries of which it is a native,
1 which usually predisposes mankind,
* even from its earliest youth, to love
* and protect it. Without tracing this
■ amiable prejudice to the nursery tale
1 of the Babes in the Wood, we may
Y be permitted to believe that this sim*
- pie narrative has had its effect in
* strengthening it very considerably;
- especially when it is accompanied by
* a positive interdict on the part of the
2 mother or nurse by whom it is related,
t against killing the innocent Robin.
- It is not easy to disentangle ourselves
- from the influence of feelings which
, were early imbibed, and which have
- grown and strengthened with us, un
-2 lil they have become blended with
1 our very nature, and show themselves
e in our disposition and general charac
ter ; and, if it were less difficult than
* it is, we should be far from consider
s ing such a separation desirable, for it
* cannot be denied that our earliest lm
-1 pressions, before we have received
* the taint which an association with
t the world always produces, must be
1 the freest from impurity. We re
> member the time when we should
2 have considered the killing of a robin
f a species of sacrilege which would
* have been followed by some signal
- calamity, byway of punishment. It
■ is very true, we have grown wiser on
* the subject; but we do not feel that
, our wisdom, in this respect, has add
, ed a tittle to our stock of amiable and
■ benevolent feelings. To those how
-1 ever, who would be ashamed of the
t superstitious feeling which might
! prevent them from destroying this in
* nocent bird, we recommend the peru
* sal of the following article, which
, may convince them at least of the
s reasonableness of protecting one of
i the feathered race which is constant
■ ly employed in doing service to its
1 persecutors.— Wash. Rep.

servations of a Vermont farmer, show

* our nature, by defending the innocent
■ robin from the attack of both boys I

>f birds Who yrey on the insect wto ■

and useful bird preys with peculiar I
avidity upon this species of worm, I
This fact may be ascertained by visit! I
ing a nestof young robins in the vj. I||
ciuity of a corn field, when it will he I

upon this kii>d of worm. At other I
times, this bird) feeds upon different 'M
species of worms and bugs, which are I
found upon the surface of the ground, I
which services are of immense value
and benefit to the farmer, and ought I
to recoaimend it to his peculiar care II
and patronage. But its innocence- p
and utility are inadequate to protect ''
it from the wanton cruelty of boys
and sportsmen. What immense num
bers of these our benefactors are an
nually destroyed through mere wan
tonness and cruelly, while we arc
constantly hearing of the ravages q{
worms and bugs, in the various de
partments of vegetation. Even whole
corn fields have been laid waste the
present season bjr this larger species
of worm, which calamity might have
been obviated by having spared and
fostered the robin. The utility, li\
fact, of this invaluable bird, is so ok.
vious, that even legislative interfer
ence is imperiously demanded, to
rescue it from the bloody fangs of the
fowler. Other states have their pro
tecting laws for the bnefit ofinnoceny
and useful birds, and why should we
be distanced in the sacred cause of
humanity? The subject may aj*
pear trifling and novel at first, but a
little reflection will convince any ons
that itis by no means uau^portanU ,,

A suspicious looking fellow, in the
garb of a sailor, with a bag swungacros*
his shoulders, was apprehended yesterday
as he was sauntering through the infect
ed district, and conveyed forthwith be
fore our Bow-street authorities. The
stern eye of the magistrate was fastened
upon him, and he was interrogated in a

(J. Who are you ?
A. A seaman, Sir.
Q. Where did you come from’
A. Albany, Sir.
Q. For what purpose ?
A. To get a birth, Sir,
Q. What business bad you in the in
fected district ?
A. 1 didn’t know nothing ’boat the
’fected district, Sir.
Q. What have you got in your bag
there ?
A. Nothing only duds, Sir.

and open it. As the direction was about

tents were ascertained to be a rusty jack
knife, a pair of trowsers, a niarlinspi*e,
a hand of Virginia plug, and a hall
I munched loaf of bread. It is bardlyne
j cessary to add that Jack was suffered to
' make a quick and quiet exit.
