Perhaps no part ot the United States is so
illy situated to maintain a feperatc indepen
dence. The hour is approaching when Con
gress will be under the necessity of some kind
cf interference, and, though we entertain the
molt exalted ideas of the justice and modera

they will not quietly* fuffer the revenue to be
defeated by the iniquitous condud of a Hate

The President has been iudifpofed with a
flight fever for a few days past ; but the pub

that he is now much better.
3c is reported that, in consequence of a

of an American boat trading down the river
Miffilippi, and a party of Spanilh soldiers,
the Governor of Mew Orleans has represent

PHILADELPHIA, May 28.
On Tuefday afternoon anchored at this port,
a polacrc, formerly commanded by Captain
Feerer, with paifengers returned from Car
thagena. These people, previous to thdir
departure from this port, in different velfels,
were naturalized fubjefts of Spain: If then,
when difeontent or other motives, Ibould
promjit the Spanilh government to feud them
to the place from which it lohcited them to
emigrate, lick, enfeebled, and still more de
bauched in their principles, than when they
went away, fiiould not the policy of Phila
delphia rigoroufty oppose the dangerous im
position ?—lt is well known that some of the
molt daring prostitutes of both sexes, have
returned from their voluntary banishment.

These deluded perfous are now purchaling
farms in their native country. Some of them
have fettled at Tioga, where there appear* to
be appearances of a town and improvements

learn further, that the inhabitants of Luzeiue
in the neighbourhood of Wyoming,
are peaceable and obedient to government;
and that from the late rapid incieafe of pro

is reason to believe the lands on that river wilt

The extraordinary cures performed by the
Rrfverend Mr. William Stoy, minister of the
German congregation of this town, on per-,
sons bit by mad dogs, will no doubt remove
your anxiety for the recovery of your friend.
He has saved the lives of at lead three hun
dred perfous within these tour years past,
sixty of whom were cured since Christmas
last ; some of them were brought with all the
fympsoms of the hoi rid disorder, in particu
lar a Mir. B- , a reputable merchant
from New-York, came to this town last fall
in the height of the hydrophobia, and in fart
raving mad —the medecioes had the most mi*
xaculous effeft, it restored him to his senses
in the small space of 24 hours. This per
haps wiil appear fabulous to some, but the
fads can be proved by thousands, who saw
the unfortunate object before and since the ex
periment took place. Mr. Stoy is about iay
ing his discovery before Congress, on condi
tion of his being allowed a reward.”
