Europe now presents a curious specta cle Here we *e«e monarch# leaguing to gether “to maintain that which eiists,’* ami to prevent deviation in any manner from the existing order o*' things, from whatever origin it may have sprang. 3 here we see government after govern ed falling by the very meant (the mil itary) on which the continental despots solely rtly for maintaining that which ex ists. Spain and’Naples, and now Portu gal < What rotten state edifice is .next doomed to crumble at the touch of the sword? What are the people of Germany about? Are there no men of practicable talents among them capable of enabling tho popular feeling to display itself with 'effect? Or will they by their conduct justify the sarcastic observation of an ac cute writer, the Baron de Stendahl, that arc yet incapable of.any thing beyond col lege declamations, and that every coun try in Europe will be free before Germa ny? AH we can aay is, that the nation in fetters, which does not profit by the great lesson which has now been so distinctly given, deserves to remain in them. £ The events of Spain and Portugal are ndeed, truly heart elevating. They as - ford an admirable illustration of the in stability of every, system of government which has net the common advantage for its object. A good government requires no standing army, and where there t no standing army, the. will of the people must be consulted.. A government which disregards the will of the people can on ly exist by means of a standing army: and miserable indeed, would be the prospects of mankind, if tbit instrument and the will of the employer were inaeperably united. Fortunately, however, armies are compo sed of men, with aU the feelings of men. The ties which hind them to their fellow subjects are stronger than those which connect them with their employers- Their parents, their wives, their children, will neVer allow them to forget how inti mately their interests and those of the rest of the people are united. And hence, Whc never discontent becomes gerfersl in A nation, the army cannot fail to partici pate in that discontent, snd instead of con tributing to support the tyranny, will on ly hasten its overthrow. > The history of die ancient world affords but too many proofs, that no Sovereign can place any secure dependence on a standing army. In modern times, the two states of Europe, which have been ex clusively military, are precisely those in which we have seen the most numerous dethronements. What a. picture do the court of St. Petersburg sn4 Constantino ple, during the last hundred years, pre sent to us! Standing armies are of but 3 cent introduction in modern times, but ready have they taught several signifi cant lessons. Cromwell soon found that his army was every thing but a passive in strument. James the ?nd was deserted in the hour of need by bia arrry Louis the -14th was the esJablisher of great stand ing armies in France, and the sovereign who followed his immediate successor saw \ his army turned against him. | In announcing the recent revolution at Usaplet, in our paper of the 31st of July last, we observed, “Feeble indeed is the tenure of the throne thst depends on the f . arm-of power, and is not fixed in the love of the subject. - An army can be only de pended on for blind obedience, when it u kept in savage ignorance; and thank God that is not now the case with the ar mies in any part of civilized Europe.*' Again at these truths the members of the holy alliance may write as many circulars as they please. They cannot alter the nature of things. ' v ' . Tnmfitted for tbe Philadelphia Oasetto. . cm K ATT. Kd.tm.rrT. Republic es Hayti.

It Us for that object tbit the representatives of the people are laboring, while General Chris topi c consulted nothing but bis ambition and passions-MHe misused the authority sthich gave him a grade in the army Urhich ' had vanquished Our ancient tyrants, en tered this town like a desperado, where were collected the Constitutional Assem bly, and commenced a civil war because our Legislature had judged it neqeasary to limit the - magistrate’s authority over the people.—God has not permitted, that this haughty man should succeed in his protect—he was repelled in this attempt —the Governmenf of the Republic wa organized from the Constitution, ema nating from the general will* the laws art equally beneficial to all citieena, and has established its empire and the State by a slow step, but a secure one, has constant ly inarched, since that period, towards its solidity and prosperity, whilst the phan tom of power which General Christoph® has usurped over you, has fallen by ca tastrophe to catastrophe.

On Saturday,, about two o'clock, the great Boat Race’, which has occupied so much attention for sometime past was decided. *The newspaper publications on this subject, brought together an im mense concourse of people, extending from one extremity of the city to the ’ ether, on the south aide. AU the pier ' beads, and the vessels lying at our 1 wharves, from Gorlaer’a Hook to the 1 Battery, were literally crowded. At ine | time of the race the wind was from the 1 northward and eastward, -and there wpa ■ a Wight fall of snow—even this state of ■ weather did not appear to check the gen > eral interest, and the desire to witness the 3 trial between the two boatW A short 5 time after, starting from 'Williamsburglt, — —*• —e »» the eager spectators at the west end of the town were gratified with the sight of the boats apparently aide and side. Thia was an interesting period. Betting Was now general-ami on the Battery where we had stationed ourselves, many were made, the odds in favor of the New-yon* If was but”a few seconds before this hShd Os Sport wit «Kcok«<i. Thu K«w v»k towards the end of the race seettied’to bfe gaining upon the Amsuican Siam, and about the time the boats passed the Old ship, the NewYofk was ahead, and con tinued to lead the way until she reached the stake-boat opposite the Casde on Governor's Island—having beat the Amer ican Star about twenty yards. As soon as the race was determined in favor Os the JVew York, (of the real Knickerbocker stamp,) a band of music that was stationed on the plat-form of the flag-staff, struck up an appropriate, air, and Mr De Chew, the keeper all alive to the victory, threw, up numerous sky-rockets as an expression of his joy on the occasion; and th#coa course assembled on the Battery, made ;ha air ring with their repeated and almost in cessant huzzas. After a short interval the winning boat approached the Battery, with an appropri ate flag flying, prepared for the occasion, supported by Mr. John Parmeton, the coxswain; Having reached Within hearing of the assemblage on the Battery, three animating cheers welcomed Her approach. Which was returned by the four oarsmen, who raised from their seats and elevated their oars to a perpendicular, the qq*, swain waving, gracefully, the handsome banner won Ly this victory. As soon after this a* was practicably thk N.Y. was borne upon the shoulders of her friends through the streets to the Fulton- Hotel, in Fukon-street, kept by Mrs. Mitchell, the'amiable widow of one of pur most respectable pilots. The procession was headed by a band, of music, the cox swain being seated in the New York, *up pbrting the elegant flag designed for khe winning boat. Having arrived at the Hotel, the New-York was hoisted up in fronted the house, between the windows of the first andsecond stories, amidst the anima ted huzzas of thousands who had assem bl'd to Witness displeasing scene. In the evening, the Knickerbocker Club, par took of a supper, ar\d many a patriotic song and sentiment* lave a life and zast to tfie occasion, which never was exceed ed in this, or perhaps, any other city. In our remarks on this subject, we can not be suspected of saying any thing tt) wound the feelings of the loosing party; but it is our duty to observe, that this is -lie third time that challenges hsve been given out by these in favor of boats built' by Mr Ghanabeja and it is the third time jliat those built by Mr. Babtis, under the patronage of our pilots, have won the’ race. The famous race between Cham bers’ Invincible, and Babtip’ boat Knicker bocker, will long be jremembered—and the present one, can never be forgotten, if ■the same attention be paid to the preser vation of the New York. i ; Perhaps no boat race was -ever more tiaiHy or honorably conducted, and the men in each boat rowed with a skill seldom witnessed; end what added much to the pleasure of the victors, many belonging to the opposite part/ accepted an mvf tation to supper, and no circumstance ’ occured to interrupt that feeling so hflhor able to generous bosoms, The rhee-distance, about three miles, wa# rowed in about 12 minutes. The bet was 800 dollars • side, which of course made a purse of 1600 dollars, betides private bets to a Urge amount- The stakes on the * . * ” i ♦*•■ . t V ■ l '' ’• * MV V *" • M 4 f , t , part ofthe New VorV boat was deposited in American gold. The New York was rowed by Cornelius Cammeyer, of NSw York* Abraham ttrais ted, Van Pelt, amlSimonson, all of Staten bland—Coxswain, John Parmeton- of this city: ' ■ The Ameritah Star was rowed by Jaa Gildersleeve Daniel M’Multen, William Chambers, of Booklyn; and Isaac Cole, of Staten-Island-Coxswain, Cornelius Cole, of Brooklyn. * THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 80. ,ri - .. r * - k OUR CORRESPONDENT. / "MiUedgtvilit, NjHemher 26. •‘Mr. Upson’s resolutions on the Bank subject, nut having been taken up until ?esterday, and as it is one which the pub ic will feel more deeply interested in than any other that will cotne before the present Legislature, I take a pleas; n# in communicating to you my opinion as to the impolicy and impropriety of acting on these resolutions in their present shape. It is a far- probably known to you, ilfht 1 have ever been opposed to State Banks; but n favor of a National Bank, & branch es of it in each State—and no circumstance has transpired to change that opinion t— on the contrary, experience has proved fully, to my satisfaction, the correctness of it. Wc already begirt to perceive the baneful, effects likely to result, and to tremble as if were, for our own situation. We perceive in many of the States which ought to be united by the most strong and tender ties to our general government, that jealousies and enmities are created; all of which have their origin in these in stitutions, and may sooner or later termi nate ih the moat serious consequences— they are calculated to wean our affections from the general government, and destroy that union which is so necessary at this important period and crisis of our affairs, The State, however, at this lime has too great an interest in our Banks' not to shield and protect them, as far sa she can, from the oppression of the Federal Bank How tills is to be done is an important question.—Mr. Upson’s resolutions-are coached in such language as may have an evil tendency—they contemplate a moat strict and minute enquiry into the allairs of out Banks, and that immediate ly. Gen. Newman offered 4 substitute, the purport of which was, requiring the officers of our Banks to make a specific .annual report to the Legislature. In lieu of this Gen. Olaoeoek tendered a resolve, that a committee consisting of three, be elected by joint ballot,of both branches of the General Assembly, to make enquiry into the state of our Banka, and report specifically thereon at the next session of the Legislature.' Upon these three reso lutions considerable argument has been had. In fact they occupied nearly the whole of yesterday, and the House ad journed untib Monday, when they will a gain be brought upon the carpet. “The right which the Legislature wish to establish, in seeking the enquiry, seems to be questioned; as to myself 1 have no earthly doubt. * know that Charters are Frequently considered sacred things—but when the creating power has reason to brtlcrc tlmi -these rnranenrhare iwrliw.ii conformed to, it certainlyiias the right of 1 investigation. The principal object, there ■ fore/ is. to establish the right i and a ma jority of both Houses, after doing so, 1 1 'arti Convinced will exercise that right with , moderation.” PUBLIC LANDS. r An interesting document was yesterday 1 transmitted by the Secretary of the Trea t sury to the Senate, in pursuance of a reso , lutiun of that house at the last Session, t containing a body information on the i subject of the lands of the United States • purchased from .the Indians; the quantity » sold; for how much sold, tic kb. The . sums which have been paid, and remain to be paid, under Treaties made with the t Indian tribes, to indemnify them fur ces • sis ns of lands to the United States, is , 3,542.916 dollars. The expense of survey e ing the Public Lands, from 4th March, j 1789, to 31st December, 1819, has been e 4,243,632 dollars. The whole quantity of , land which baa been sold by the United i. States, as well before as since the open -1 ing of the Land Offices, up to 30th Sept • 1819, is 20,138,492 acres; and the amount ; for which it has been sold .is 45,098,69 b dollars. Os this amount, 22,229,180 dol i ars had been paid, and 22,000,637 remain r ed to be paid, at the close of Sept 1819— • The quantity of lands surveyed in the . several Land Office Districts,!* 72,803/192 r seres, whereof 18,601,930 acres have been v sold,'leaving 54,303,162 acres unsold.— . The quantity surveyed for military bounty • lands, is 12,315,360 acres The whole t quantity of land purchased from the ln , dians by the various treaties and cessions f is estimated at 191,978,536 acres! i Let these sums and quantities be read . aloud, and the reader will be startled at . their sonorous magnitude. !
