dedication;
The new Edifice erected for IIER
MON SEMINARY, and for a House
of Publick Worship, was solemnly de
dicated on the 29th ult. Mr. Lumpkin
commenced the exercises by appropriate
hymns, prayer, and the reading of select
portions of Scripture. Mr. Sherwood
breached the Sermon: “ According to
this time it shall be said of Jacob and of
Israel, what hath God wrought!” Mr.
Bledsoe made the dedicatory prayer,
and Mr. Blanton followed with an
Address on tjie importance of establish
ing and fostering Religious <\ud Litera
ry institutions. The'day was pleasant
and the congregation was very large.
This Institution has been recently
opened under veVy favourable appear
ances. The Managers of it, consider
ing the peculiar pressure of the times,
and knowing there are some parents,
who are unable to pay the tuition of
their children, have : e-oitv,/ to afford it
gratuitously to such, so far as their funds
will enable them. [VI issumary.
The following rhapsody and follv is
extracted from the Louisville Public
Advertiser. The writer must be a dis
ciple of Walsh, who broached the fa
mous project of erecting; a northern con
federacy, with this difference that he
wished it in the West.
If a few of the spirits who talk of
dividing the Union do not find them
selves in the circumference of a halter,
they will be lucky indeed.
“ Twenty years will give us a population
capable of directing the affairs of the Union,
and of commanding a capital sufficient to an
swer ail commercial oitrposes. Under such
circumstances, what is to prevent the -u>est
from wielding tile destinies ot the country.
We answer, nothing, if we do not suffer eas.
tern or northern politicians io produce a
division in feeling 1 between the western states
on the subject ot slavery.
Extract of an Ordinance of the King
of the Netherlands for a new system of
Direct and Indirect Imposts, dated
llth July, 1821. — Art. 1. From and
after the year 1822, the system of im
posts of the kingdom shall tv; establisli
j ed in the manner explained in the fol
lowing article :— Art. 2. With regat d
to the duty of foreign tonnage, care
shall be taken that the mac mu >n do
not exceed three fourths of the present
. duty; in respect to foreign vessels, re
gard shall at all times be had to the
ni inner in which pur vessels are treated
in other nations as to the analogous du

treated as the vessels of the Netherlands
are treated, or tiiat the principles of re

SELF LOADING CART.
4 Mr. David Newlin, of Virginia, has
a cart for removing earth,
which, according to the certificates
which lie has published, with one man
and two pair of oxen, “ can. move from
the hill and pul in the valley as much
earth in one day, as six men can du
with the same teams and two carts, with
shovels to load them.*’—The cart “usu
ally loads itself so as to be heaped,” and
we*have no doubt then contains as much
earth as will be cubic yards when
compacted, equal to 5040 lbs. or 2‘
tons. In favorable ground it will, load
itself in going the distance of about 41
yards; and when from tiie |>oint at
which the loading commences, to the
place of deposite, the distance d.*e> not
exceed 70 yards, it will make about 12
loads in au hour.

Proclamation.
By Major General Andrew Jacks it, Gover
nor of the Provinces of the Floridas, exer
cisingl the powers of the Captain General
and of the Intendant df the Island ofCnba,
over the said provinces, and of the Gov
ernors of said provinces respectively :
WHEREAS, by the seventh article of
the treaty concluded between the United
States and Spain on the 2‘2d day ot Februa
ry, 1819, a >d duly ratified, it was stipulated
that the “ Officers and troops of his Catho
lic Majesty in the territories hereby ceded
to the United Slates, shall he •aithtiravm, and
possessor;! of the places occupied by them,
.hall be given within six months after the
ratification of the treaty, or sooner ifpossi.
ble.” And whereas, it has this day been
made known to me, that the following offi
cers of His Catholic Majesty, to wit: Mar
cos de Villiers, Berna do Prieto, Louis Guy
arrr, Civilo Lesasster, Arnal lo Guiilimard,
Carlos de Villiers, Pedro de Vegas and Ma
riano Latady, and who according to the said
sevententh article, ought to have withdrawn
from tile said ceded territory with the troops
of His Catholic Majesty, hare without the
permission of the existing authorities, con
trary to the said seventh articles, remain
ed in this and its vicinity, and whereas it had
been made known to me, that the said offi
cers acting in a distinct body, independent
of, and disowning even a temporary allegi
ance to the government of the United
States, as existing in the Floridas, have been
engaged in stirring up disaffection there*
to, and in sowing discontent in the minds
of the good people of this said province;
and whereas it appears they are the authors
of the following false, scandalous and inde
cent publication.
“ In speaking of Col. Calrva’s appearance
before General Jackson, M. li.ought to have
stated, that none of the interrogatories and
highly offensive accusations of the General
were faithfully interpreted «o Colonel Cala
va, any more than that replies of the latter
to the former. It was therefore, out of the
power of our chief, not knowing what was
said to him, to make the auditory under
stand how innocent he was ot the tool
charges with which his unsullied honor was
endeavored to be stained.
Such, in sum, are the observations we had
to make on the statement ot H. B. and we
hope that lie and the public will bn convin
ced that we acted from no principle of pusil
lanimity ; that if on the one hand, w« thud
dei cd at the violent proceedings exercised a
gainot our superior —we knew also what
was due to a gov -rnment which is on the
most friendly footing with our own. We
are, &c.
THE SPANISH OFFICERS.
Resident in this place.”
And, whereas, tile saul publican m is cal
culated to excite resistance to-the existing
government of the Floridas, and to disturb
’he harmony, peace, and good order »>f the
same, as well as to weaken tiie allegiance en
joined by mv proclamation, heretofore pub.
lislud, entirely inconipatble with any pri
vileges which Could have been i xte did
to said officers, even if permission had been
expressly given them to remain in the said
province, and under exi-tuig circumstances,
agr ss abuse of tlie'lenii v aid indulgence
heretofore extended to tin m.
This is therefore, to make known to the
said officers to withdraw themselves, as they
ought heretofore to have done, from the 1
Floridas, agreeably to the said seventh arti
cle, till or before the third day of October j
next; after which day, if they, nr any of j
them, shall be f und within the Florida-, all 1
officers, civil and military, are (Hereby re- I
quilt'd to arrest and secure Mi-un, so that '

disobedience of tins, my proclamation.

The Sentimental Journey.
Those who have read 8 er.i ’s 8 m oen- '
tal Journey, and who lias not tea It? will |
be i -formed and grat fied by th- n-r-t-utl of
the following facts fr in tiie mnnili of our
Did and intimate acquaintance. La Fleur,
file information touching Sterne a-d ins
Journey is of a very inlereaung character.
La Feur’, .Main is as touching iy ;>a h-tic
as the Marin if Sterne, and the aff'-ctio a e
and tender interest excited for his Maria -vui
be greatly heigh-ened by a knowledge of
tne Maria of La F eur.
Democratic Dress.
The following is tile co- tioustion of -,ome
notices respecting S-riKjrr., and a sketch of
his valet La Fleur, who was a native of llnr
gundy, kept a cabarci in Ca-a-s, a -d »a, a
frequent visitor to E -gland a, a c--ifk-- r, srr/
j aot, or other character requiring zeal and
diligence.
“In addition lo La Ficur’s account of
him sc It, the writer of he pre.-edi ig ob alli
ed from himself little circumstances rt-la
tive to Ins master, a. w.-ll as the characters
depicted by him, a tew of which, as they I
would lose by abridg oent, 1 snail give ver j
but no.
“ There were moments (said L. F -nr) m j
which my master Appeared sunk into die i
deepest d jectum—when Ins calls upon me j
for it.y services were soseid on, that I some
times appr. heusiv iy ps-sed in upon Ins pri
vacy, to silgges' wnat I thought rn-ght di*
vert hi* inela iciioly. lie used to smile at
ny well n.ea-it ze.-u, aid I could see was
uppv t-i be relieved. At oth'-rs—lie seem
ed ti have received a new soul—he launch
ed into the levity natural a moil pays, said
Fieur, a- '! cried gauy save la bagatelle !
It was in one of those m Mil- in. tin he be
came acquainted with the Grisette at the
gs ve-shop—she after* *wi* vi-iltd him at
-iis lodgings upon which La Fleur mad? not
a s-tigle remark ; hut on ilami ig the Jil/e dc
chimb’e, his other visilan , lie excl ime I,
• It was a certainly a piiy, sue was so pretty
and petite.’
“ I lie I.ady mentioned under the initial
L. was the Marquise Lambcrti : to the in
terest of this iaiy tie was indented for the
passport winch began to make him 9--rious
!y uneasv. Count <le it. (Brefuell) not
withstanding the dnakespear,, La Fleur
oinks, would have troubled Inniseif little
bout In-n. Ciioueul was minister at tiie
ti t.e.
"Door Maria —was, a'ns I no fiction—
• when tve am--, up to her, she wui grove!
■ i.-ig in tile load like an infant, and throwing
the dust upon her head—and yet few were
more lovtlv ! Upon Sterne’s accosting her
with tenderness and raising her in his arms,
she collected herself and resumed some
composure—toid him her tale of misery
and wept upon his hreast—• my master sob
bed aloud—l saw her disengage herself
from his arms, and she sung nim the service
to the Virgin, my poor master covered his
face with his hands, and walked by her side
to the cottage where she lived—there he
talked earnestly to the old women.”
“* Every day,’ said I.a Fleur, * while we
stayed there I carried them meat and drink
from the hotel, and when we departed from
Motilities, my master left his blessings and
some money with the Mother, How much,
added he, • l know not —he always gave
more than he could
“ Sterne w.is frequently at a loss upon
his travels for ready inonev. Remittances
were become interrupted bv war, and h'e
had wrongly estimated his expencrs—lie
had reckoned along the post-roads, without
adverting to tire wretchedness that was to
call upon him in his way. *.
“ At many of our stages my master has
turned to me with tears in his eyes— ‘ Vli -s’
poor people oppress me, Ea Fleur! how
shall l relieve me’? He wrote much and to
a late h wr. 1 told La Fietir of the incon
siderable quantity lie had published ; lie ex
pressed extreme surprize.’ *1) > yum know
aiv thing of their tendency, La Fleut- ?’
* Ves—they were miscellaneous remarks up
on the manners of the different u nions lie
visited, and in Indy he was deeply engaged
in m ixing tile most elaborate enquiries into
the dilferint government of the towns, and
characteristic peculiarities of the Italians of
the various States.’
to elfrct tnis he read much—for the col
lections of the patrons of literature were
open to him; lie observed more. Singttlar
is it may seem, Sterne endeavoured in vain to
spea-k Italian. His valet acquired it on their
journey ; hut Ins master, though he applied
n>w and then, gave it u ) at length, as rm
attainable. ‘ I the more wondered it this,’
sai lLa Fleur, ‘as he must have understood *
Latin- 1
Hie assertion, sanctioned by Johnson,
that Sterile was licentious and dissolute in
conversation, stands Urns far contradicted by
the testimony of La Fit ur, 1 His conversa
tion with women, ’ he sui I ‘ was of the most
o teresting kind; lie usually left them se
rious, if lie did not find them so.’
“ 7'/ie bend .in —vvas no invention—the
mourner was as simple and alleging as
St. me has related. La Fleur recollected
tile circurn-tance pcrlei tl .”
