November 9. n c -from Governor Roane's Speech to the ! ► Legislature of Tennessee. # “ Commiflaries appointed by the 1 resident of the United States, have lately met the Chiefs of the Cherokee nation in conference near South Weft-Point. The principal objeft of the conference appears to have been to obtain the consent of the Indians for opening roads through their country, and establishing houses of enter tainment at convenient places for the accommodation of travellers. They have failed in acromplifhing those objefts at present; yet I have reason to believe that a road will shortly be opened at the ex pence of the United States, from Naftiville to the Milfilfippi territory. The fulsequent Extra A from the Speech of Governor Trumble* to the Legislature of Connecticut , ought to be read with peculiar attention : ** AMIDST the political agitations which prevail in the United States at the present moment; in confeqoence of which men’s minds are dilturbed vvith appearan ces sometimes doubtful, oftentimes discou raging, whereby they become liable to be mislead by the influence of passion and prejudice, it is with deep concern, that I too frequently hear, from various quarters, intimations given, expressing doubts ref pefting the continuance of the present union of these states. Realons atmoft in numerable suggest themi'elves to my con sideration, and will doubtless occur, on reflection, to every candid and dispassion ate mind, to repel with aversion all hasty ideas of this kind, fo'deft rufti veto our public peace and harmony, and so adverf’e to our iocial happintfs and private pros perity. Should any one hesitate in accord ing to this sentiment, I w >uld point him to the obfervafions on this fubjeft made by our late venerable Waftiington, in his (age an I important address to the people of the United States—a fubjeft on which he has dilated with peculiar energy, and with more than his wonted earnestness. And reading these impressive sentiments, let every dispassionate man ask lumfelf hefe ierious questions ; —Are not these Rea Tons for the Unity of our Government given hv our uq,n(co j (I , fjmer : efted friend and Patriot, irreluu.n., . shall I not fubferibe to them with equal ardor and earnestness ? and with fixed re foluiions to exert my utmost abilities in support of this important and interesting objeft ? —The reply from every one I pre sume, will be prompt and affirmative. In addition to the reason suggested in this es timable address, we may also confider that if one division of the union is admitted, it is not within the wisdom or forefigtit of man to difevver, how many fub-divjfions the firft step of separation may lead to ; each divifipti and fub-di*ifion encreafing the spirit ofdifunlon and restlessness, until all union, subordination, peace, tranquili ty and otder are at an end, or funk in .anarchvAnd confufion.—Rather than in dulge oitrfeives, therefore, in paflionate ex preflions of fentimermjjr resentment, on anv perplexing occurrences which present themselves in our political arragements. should we not better cherifli a hope, that bv prudent refl-ftion and timely experi ence, disagreeable circnmftances may be correfted,or difemiraging fears and doubts may be difpelied ?—Circttmflances nor altogether conformable to oar present withes "are often times prnduftive of the happiest events —over ruled bv the good ness of that Power, who knows how to bring good out of evil, mid wisdom out of error. Numerous instances within our own recolleftion, and within the experi ence of twenty or thirty vears past, will witness the truth of this observation. In all our troubles and perplexities I am persuaded that that superintending Provi dence which watched over our American Revolution, which has guid-d us finre in many perils and dangers, and which has eventually led 11s to the adoption of the present Union and Constitution of govern ment, will not forfake its own work; but will still direst us in our future wav, how ever dark and devious it may sometimes appear to our fcantv view’s. For doubt less our country is deftinrd to take its turn of political greatness and profperitv, upon the stage of human aftion, as well as ulti mately to fink in folly, vice and decline. T. TRUMBULL. New-Haven, October 8, 1801. DUELING. A w'himfica! meeting took place in Ja maica, between a ruddy son of Neptune, and a pragmatic coxcomb, occasioned by a trifling diloute, fought bv the latter, for the purpose of becoming the man of ho nor, among the circle of bucks, and in filling it should be fettled in an honorable manner (making use of the expression, powder and ball) The Captain humorous # Wf accepted the challenge, and the time and place being fixed on, our dashing blade attended by his second appeared on the ground at the appointed hour, and waiting some lliort time expressed his fur prize at the absence of his adversary: the Captain, however, at last hove in fight, riding poftillion to a carriage, on which was mounted an eight and forty pounder, exclaimed on his arrival, “ now d—— n your eyes give the signal for a broadside, and if I don’t batter thy hulk d e.” Our buck conceived he carried an inferior force, was obliged to strike. The Cap tain then deemed it prudent to fend both him and his second adrift, with fore backs, to lament the disappointment of a cork duel. REMARKABLE CHARACTER. Mr. Guy, the founder of the noble Hospital that bears his name in Southwark, was as remarkable for his private parsimo ny as his public munificence. He inva riable dined alone, and a foiled proof flieet, or an old newspaper, was his constant fub ftituie for a table cloth. It is recorded of him, that as he was one winter evening fitting in his room, meditating over a handful of half lighted embers, confined within the narrow precimffs of a brick stove, and without any candle, a person who came to enquire for him was intro duced, and after the firft compliments were pa(Ted, and the guest requested to take a feat, Mt. Guy lighted a farthing candle, and desired to know the purport of the gentleman’s visit. The visitor was the' famous Vulture Hopkins, immortal ized by Pope in the lines— ‘‘ When Hopkins dies, a thousand lights attend The wretch, who living, lav’d a candle’s end.” I have been told, fays Hopkins, that you, fir, are better versed in the prudent and necefftry art of saving , than any man now living, and I therefore wait upon you for a lefTon of frugality ; an art in which I used to think I excelled; but lam told bv all that know you, that you are greatlv my superior. “And is that all you come about? (said Guy) why, then, we can talk this matter over in the dark.” So fay * fl '4* be, with great deliberation, extin- | shed his new lighted farthing candle. Struck with this instance of ceconomy, STOttieconviu his leave. to °k L ’• AojO. The evidence of the efficacy of Per kin’s Tractors, of late the fubjedl of so much controversy and speculation, is at length considered as decisive an<J medi cal characters of high reputation are now recommending their use. The idea enter tained by some that their good effe&s were ascribable to imagination is proved to be erroneous, since they are found to cure infants and liorfes as readily as any other fubjeCts. Indeed, the utility of the Trac tors, as a remedy for inflamed eyes, sprains, contulions, and consequently lameness of horses, is now so well established that they are rapidly adopting in Gentlemen’s Sta bles. Among some Angular cures upon horses recently communicated, and pub* liflied during the present month, is a very remarkable case from A. Pincke , Esq. of Sharttead. Kent, but its detail would ex ceed our limit,; also the following note froho a highly refpeCted Nobleman, who has liberally permitted it to be publifheJ for general information : “London, Hertford-ftreet, May 25, 1801. “ Lord Rivers presents his compliments to Mr. Perkins , and requests he will fend by the bearer a set of his Metalic Trac tors, which he is desirous of purchasing in addition to those he has already had, and which he constantly leaves with his groon; they having been of the greatest use h his (tables.” CURIOUS ANIMAL. A remarkable non-defeript animal has been difeovered near Northumberland townin Pennfvlvania ; which has excited muci speculative enquiry there.—lt is said o be about five feet in height, it moves ereCt, and has a more perfect hurmn face than any other animal of the brute creation. The head is crowned with hair, which falls regularly over the forehead, near to the eyebrows; its neck and breast are bare, but downward is co vered with hair. Its arms and hands ap pear perfect like those of a man, excepting the nails, which are fimiiar to claws of beads; but the feet appear perfect. It has a very long tail, which it winds round its bodv when running. It is said a reward of iooo dollars is offered for this animal alive. A %D'ifcovery founded on Fa A.

A young lady in London, who was handsome and had a fortune of 12 thou sand pounds, ivhi/e (lie was buying lome (mail things of a yonng (liopkeeper with whom (lie had (ome trifling acquaintance, took a piece of his Flander’s lace, and, out of mere gaity and frolic, went hastily out, withont paying him for it. The (hop keeper who had a good head for Specula tion, followed and Seized her and charged her with the theft; and in a Serious and peremtory manner, Said to her, “ Miss, you may take your choice, either to go before a magistrate, and Suffer the penalty of the law for dealing my lace, or to go with me before a clergyman and marry me.” After a (hor; pause, (and who could blame her) (he chose the latter. The following is extrafted from a Lon don paper. The advertisers have evident ly opened a matrimonial firm, and want a great many sleeping partners : Seven Wives Wanted. —Ladies of refpeftability, desirous of entering into the matrimonial /late , may hear of /even gentle men who are desirous of fettling n life, and enjoying true connubial bill's.
