the morning till towards four in the afte -
noon, wiien a Cold and sharp Wind from
the west begun to blow 1 resit, and con
tinued to increase, till towards midnight it
became a pi; led hurricane; the sea (or
nver) ran mountains high ; the ships to
the Mersey were drii ed from tueir an
chors ; the passage boats across ihe 1 iver
dared not to face the gale, several flats,
laden and unladen, were dashed to pieces;
the beautiful steam vessel, Ivauhoe,
Dublin Packet, lying up in tIW Queen’s
Basin was driven with such violence a
gainst the pier, that she is now a complete
wreck; close to her a sloop, totally bro
ken to atoms; between twenty and thiri 3
flats sunk and damaged hi various parts ot
the river: a fine American packet (the
Albion) ashore and likely to go to piece
before she can be got off' next spring
tides; the Amity American outward bound

a Yorkshire vessel, in which the wife and
family of the cap din were, all perished
within a few yards of the pier l Man;,
new buildings, neatly finished, are level

The successor of Mr. Goniburn, in the
Colonial Department, is not yet finally ar
ranged, it wilt be difficult to find a gen

perience. It is not true, as has been
hinted in a morning paper, that Mr Can

Montrose is about to resign the office of
Master of the Horse, which will he con
ferred on the Duke of Dorset. The Duke
of Montrose succeeds the Marquis of

may be some other arrangements, but
they are of minor importance.

spoken of for some time.
The subsistance of the troops in many
respects, is so uncertain, (on account of
the exhaustion of the treasury) tiiat every
day they dread an insurrection among the
soldiers, an event which might destroy th
Constitution in the same manner as .t
formed. At Ceuta the garrison, reduce:!
to misery, refuse to serve. At Seville,
the troops arc supported only by means of

The Or\A\asa .As^Vuia
We have to reend this aft. moon, onv
of the most dreadful and .fleeting catas
trophe s, which have happened at any
lime itt this country On 'Thursday
mining, between two and three o’C.ock,
that beautiful edifice—the scene of a
most imt esting a (1 useful charity—the
Orphans Anylum, at the corner of Schuyl
kill Sixth a.d Cherry streets, was de
stroyed by (ire Nothing remains of it
xcept cracked and tottering wails ; all
that was under the roof of a combusti
ble nature, was consumed ; furniture,
bidding, clothing—nothing was saved
The fire is said to have originated on the
ground floor; where a domestic, as we
learn, had be n washing clothes, and hav
ing hung them around a stove to dry,
rnude up a fire in it, and retired to bed
The heat of the stove, probably, set the
linen in flames.
But the eminently deplorable and heart
rending part ot this calamity remains to
be told. From twenty to tw< nty five cf
the oour orphans, inmates of the house,
are missing, and at present, when we
write, it is not ascertaine d what has been
their fate. The idea that even some of
these have perished incite conflagration,
is almost too harrowing to be borne, yet
it is too probable, as the children saved
were snatched up from their beds, or
d agged front the midst of the raging ele
ment, by their intrepid deliverers The
watchmen, we arc told, were particularly
active in the rescue of the orphans. The
names of Hebert W. Nutter, and John
Butcher, have been mentioned tons as
those of the uv who made the greatest
and most perilous exertions on the occa
sion. The former look out the last child
that was carried down the stairs, and in
Ids endeavours o bring her off in safety,
was obliged, to clamber over the bannis
ters, die sicps being on fire. The little
h iiocent, when he accouter! her, begged
him in her artlessness — "not to throw her
Into the,live " In the dormitory, some of
the helpless creatures were found hud
dled together, overpowered by appre
hension The screams of the sufferers
were heard without the building. But
we cannot continue, nor will our rtaikus
desire to have, the full narration.! >\ hen
the intense coldness cf the weather, the
inclemency of the hour, the comparative
ly lonely situation of the Asylum, and the
tender age of the victims, are consider
cd, every trait of the horrible scene may
be easily imagined.
Wc need not make a formal appeal to
the sympathy ami generosity of our f I
lov-citizens : No breast can ke pioof
against the. melancholy and tin- .pathetic
nature of the occurrence. Ever) kindot
contribution in relief, will be . (ceptable
and is earnestly solichcd. We heard
of theatres and hospitals, destroyed in
this manner, being immedir elf febuilt,
and more amply endowed, by"tlpr com
munititrs among whom they flourished.
The citizens of Philadelphia, will, we
trust, now furnish another example of the
kind.
The Orphans’ Asylum was an excellent
foundation—the benefits which it was
designed to Secure to individuals and the
nubile, were unequivocal—and lienee the
irresistible claims of the enterprise, in
dependently of the lamentable mode of
its interruption, to bo re-established in its
well incited prosperity. The names of
the Orphans missing are comprised in the
annexed list The hope may be enter
tained, that several of them have found
re'uge with persons who have not yet
been able to report them to the mana
gers.

Dlau Rin,
1 have, from the very partial perusals
of the papers since my return from Mil
ledgeville, discovered my name formally
announced ( .ritli the omission ■ f one let
ter) as h Candidate for Congress, at the
ensuing Election, I have had f.-eqnem,
and very friendly solicitations to declare,
and am very sorry that it is not praciica
ble nor convenient for me at this time to
comply. As I observed then, and conti
nue to see the disadvantages under which
I should labor, with regard to some ar
rangements which had been commenced
previous to any observations on the part
of those who are so particularly friendly to
my promotion. I do with some reluctance
find it necessary to slate, that 1 have ne
ver declared myself as a Candidate ; al
though ! feel myself much indebted to
the public, ai d to the person who gave
credence to the report, in giving publici
ty to my name. Upon which ground I
conjecture your authority for publication
was predicated. 1 should feel peculiar
pride iu serving the public in so honors
ble and so important an appointment as a
Representative of the people from a
State so dignified for its patriotism and
intelligence as] that of Georgia, was it not
owing* to circumstances which are quite
unnecessary for me to devclope. It will
afford me. Sir, singular pleasure if you
will be so good as to observe in your
editorial remarks that I am not a Candi

Caucus.
At a pubnc Caucus of the Siadtholder,
chiefs; headmen, Mayor, Aldermen and
inhabitants of the city of Humana, held on
the evening of the 25th of January, 1822,
at the city Ware-House: The Stadthold
er having been called to the chair, and the
Tod gather to act as Secretary, the follow
ing Preamble and Resolutions were adopt
ed:
IVkereat, next- to the growth of this
flourishing city, to which the seat of go
rem ner.' lias lately been removed from
the « * •♦ • s*** •• *, and upon which
all eyes both in Europe and America are
| fixe.!—the approaching election of Presi
| d«nt engages, and ought, to receiye the
lively concern of the nation at tatge, And '
whereas, the other cities ol the nionaie, j
n doubt, waiting wini anxious solicitud
f,r this metropolis to take the lead in that
interesting qu siionj beiu* i
Sensible of the modesty which s > discreetly j
Hooks up to our sup. rior commercial in
resilience and political sagacity to.’ ti.e re- 1
quisiie measures that ought to obtai, on i
tins d licaie subject. And moreover, bv.
ing as fully convinced of our own impor
lance as is altogether ner.'ssaiy, and <.n i
lireiy possessed oi a. suffi«. ent selt*c<mn
deuce to manage, with a suitable Cicgrc.
of assurance, this high and important af
fair for the rest of liu S ates; have ami
will condescend togive tone to the public
sentiment on said election, and pave tiie
way for the other c ties, not to give an
opinion of ihtir own, but to come torn,
“truly, strongly and indubitably” in sup
port of ours And whereas, there is ii.
our view, (which surely can never be
charged >vtill toomuch diffidence,) a pecu
liar & appropriate fitness in tine and place,
for a bold nid epeu expression of opinion,
on an cteiu communicating such a deep
impulse to the bosom, and such profound
force of thought to the judgement of the
American people. For as to time, we have
but three years to manoeuvre in, and bring
our intrigues to bear; and hat peiiodmay
rolf away, leaving us completely unfur
nished with die places designed to cor,
troui the future destinies of this gieat n.v
tion. And as to place, besides wiiat we
have related concerning our lull capacity
and entire inclination to bring en ami di
rec ill proud occasion which is shortly to
agitate this happy, tiiough extended em
pire, wc believe our commercial impor
tance is not, am ought not to be, without
iis hue amt imposing weight. It is but too
obvious that attempts have abrady been
made, and will doubtless be repeate i, to
change me policy of the government in
ref reuco to commerce and manufactures,
matting the former dependent upon the
lit.ter; a consequence which many oi the
great cities and lowers of the North, and
certainly ail the Southern country arc
deeply interested to avert, and ought un
ceasingly to deprecate. What city then,
ought to ake the alaim so soon, a <d tin.
lead so funny as ‘his? What exertions
ought to be spared 10 counteract tho ma
chinations in ended to produce that disa.-.-
nous result? Wei may this great Mart
of all tliai is rare and useful expect to lose
'ns influence with the trading world, and
sink o a level with the other emporiums
of the Sut.-s, if it does not, as it is justly
entitled to do from its wealth and charac
ter, stand forward the first projector of
every measure ca.culated to overthrow
this new-tangled doctrine.
lie it the- if ore Resolved, That it is the
sense of this Caucus, speaking in a style
taut neither ha ts nor limps, that our im
moral Stadtiiolder is better qualified for
President of the Union, than any other
man in the United Suites of America, in
ducing, as well those appendant te.rito
ries, where the Habeas Corpus does not ex
ist, as where it does.
Resolved, That if the.c was any other
human being as, well fitted for that high
trust, (which, by the bye, Isa mailer en
tirely out of the question) this Caucus
impelled by dio same overpowering sense
of modesty, which has marked ail its pro
ceedings, and which inece usually cha
racterizes all such self-made, shame-faced
meetings, would neverdieie.s hold on to
their own candidate ; for they claim the
right (public opinion being common pio
perty and at the service if the first occu
pant) to think tor the rest of the Union,
and cunsequeirly dictate the proper per
son for the Presidential Chair.
Resolveu, That as long as this city holds
its present rank and influence, there will,
be no difficulty in the election of any fu
ture President, lor it will kindly nominate
one for the rest of the States, concerning
whicii, hereafter, they need give them
seives no further trouble, as this is a favor
the chy can readily gran., not from a
“ Cabinet succession," but from its own
limits, every other man in it being well
qualified for a President
Resolved, As general principles, that a
little trick and low cunning is by no means
unworthy of this or any other Caucus—
that the people are made io be gulled—
drat they are generally swayed more hy
sound than sense, by passion ban prudence,
and that tney are ao stupidly ignorant,
they can easily be persuaded there is some
hidden mischief in the term “ Cabinet sue
cession,” and inconsequence thereof, will
promptly reject any candidate from ti.ai
quarter, no mat er what his talents 0 r in
tegrity may be, no matter how long am
faithfully he may have served his country
in that necessary sphere, and however hi*
may theieby, be the belter qualified f
the arduous duties of the highest olficc of
die government.
Resolved, That it will bo necessary to
keep down a. hep pretenders to this re
sponsible station : to this end, agents act
ing as a kind of political Terrier he ?p
pointed in Gorgrcss, whose duty it shall
be to attack high public characters that
may have an eye to the Presidency—ar
raign their official conduct—create as much
suspicion about them as possible—arouse
;he public jeu ousy against them, and in
fact, to give a complete sample of the il
liberality here meant; to aim a blow, in
all respects similar o that which has late
ly been directed against our distinguished
fellow-citizens, Messrs. Calhoun & Craw
ford ; towards the first, by Jack Randolph
and Mallary, and the last, by one Cook—
a course of conduct winch, while ii sub
serves an electioneering purpose, it must
be acknowledged is as officially indeco
rous as it is personally unmerited
Resolved, That after we break up,
(whether true or false is not material, for
the former cannot reasonably be expected
from a meeting like this) we severally re
port that,we had letters from N York; Mr.
Jeff rson, Philadelphia, and indeed, a Bill
of Sale from Georgia, all having in direct
view the unequivocal support of our most
unassuming pretensions
Resolved, That the foregoing be pub
fished in all the Gazettes of the United
States, noi as a specimen of what an ob
trusive Caucus will attempt, in disciplining
public opinion, on an all important subject
but that wide spread publicity be given to
the premises, so that all concerned may
govern themselves accordingly.

and Students belonging to Franklin Col

(including those of the Preparatory Acad
