Its object is, if I understand it, the defence of liberty—it is 58 years since I first engaged with the sons of liberty to take measures to oppose British aggression in this country —The sons of liberty were then not divided—they united for the good of their country. I would that it might be so at this dav. Our success was not complete at that time, we only got a repreive, and succeeding oppression drove us again to assert our rights, to tax ourseh es and regulate our own af fairs, and we entered into a non importation agreement; I was ■of that committee, and from that day to this, I think my conscience will acquit me in saying I have long been engaged in the cause of liber ty. lam now too old to be active, but 1 wish it as well as in mv more youthlul days, and tan only, in ref erence to the objects of this com mittee, say with regret, “Oh the day that 1 was young.” Gentle men I could not omit on this occa sion to say this much, and I have presented myself here to de clare that though age has enfeebled my limbs my heart yet glows in the cause in which I understand you to he engaged—the cause of Liber tv. It may be imagined that this ad dress was received with no little ap plause— and as the venerable war rior withdrew, the whole commit tee arose to salute him. It should also be .stated that Col. VVillet after closing his speech of fered to the Chairman, as the only contribution which his circumstan ces enabled him to present, his title to 2000 acres of land, which he had a fair claim for on his state. It was gratciully accepted,and a com mittee was appointed to receive from the Colonel the papers and documents idative thereto. Mr. W cbster.a member of the House ot Representatives lions Massachu setts, submitted lor consideration the following resolution: Resolved, i lut provision ought to be made, Uy law, lor defraying me ex pense incident to toe appointment ol 1 an Agent, or Commissioner to Greece, whenever the President shall deem it expedient to make such appoint ment. in offering the resolution, Mr. V\ cbstci suueu, it was tar irom he-, mg las wish, in any manner, to commit the House, in this, or any ot me political contests ot Europe ; but the President ot the U. budes having in Ins Message to Congress not omy expressed a belief that the Greek. nation in its present struggle witn its oppressors had the good wishes ot the whole civilized world but also advanced the opinion that the Turkish dominion over that country was lost torever; he tho t that, il such were the tact, it was important that Congress snouid act upon the subject. — ahe L • states, lie said, had diverse interests m the Mediterranean, which might be seiiously effected, more or ieas, by the com se ot events in that quar ter. The main object he had in view, he contessed, was to obtain from this House an expression, re sponsive to the sentiment ot the Message, in reference to the sacri fices and sufferings of that heroic people sacrifices and sufferings which ought to excite the sympa thy ot every liberal-mind and n *an n Europe as well as in tins country* Hut, whatever might be the case with other nations, we certainly ought not to be restrained Irom ex pressing, with freedom, what are our views in relation to the Greek cause, so far as it may be done without committing ourselves in the contest. And he really did hope that we should shew to the world, that there is at least, one government which does entertain a proper view of that barbarous des potism, which under the eyes of Europe, has been permitted, by a system of the foulest atrocity to attempt to crush an interesting Christian nation. He did not de sire that the resolution should beat present acted upon, but simply that it lie on the table for the consider ation, and deliberate reflection of this House. Jfavdgu J-raciUfinur. General Kikgo, was executed by hanging, in Madrid, on the Gth Nov. Kvery tiling was quiet at the time ; and it was only at the moment of exe cution that the cry of Long live the absolute King was heard. Thus has suffered one of the best patriots of Spain : and that by the sentence of a king under whose orders he had committed the CRIME. ! Who is there tint would not rather be a murdered Riegothan a living Ferdinand ? A Paris article of the 10th Nov. says, ‘ the dissolution of the Cham ber of Deputies is at length deter mined on. The convocation of the Electorial Colleges will not take place till the middle of E’eb ruary, and the new chamber will meet in the beginning of March. Barcelona was surrendered to the French on the 4th of November. I’hc city of Madrid has presen ted the duke d’Angouleme, with a magnificient sword bearing the fol lowing inscription —“ To the Lib erator of Spain and our King.” He has also been created DukeofTre cadero by the King of Spain. In Bayonne, workmen were actively engaged in erecting a triumphal arch for his entrance. THE GHKKKS. It appears from a letter published in the Commercial Adveitiser dated at Smyrna the 29th of Sept, that the cause of the Greeks is not so hopeless as we would be led to believe, from tli extracts published in Boston, from Smyrna papers. The writer states that their affairs go on well, and that they have had some important success es in Roinelia. lie also observes that the Capt. Pacha was at Mytelene, but that the Greeks were too wise to risk a battle. Ilis opinion is that they have more to fear from Russia than from tlie Turks. Russia and Porte. —The London Courier of the 22d of October con tains an important State Paper rela tive to the protracted discussions between Russia and the Porte. This paper which is from Count Nessel rode to Lord Strangford, “ indi cates the probability ot a pacific ter mination'of the whole matter in dispute ; but there are one or two passages, referring to the affairs ot Greece, which tend to a contrary’ conclusion.” Died in France, Don Carlos Go doij, Prince of Peace, the Favorite and Prime Minister of Charles 4th of Spain. Since the days of Wool sey no individual ever experienced greater vicissitude ot fortune. — From a private in the royal guards he rose to the most eminent rank, and highest office, and from a state of penury, accumulated a fortune estimated at fifteen millions ot dol lars. His Merino flock amounted , to 80,000. When the Spanish lioyal ( Family was Kidnapped by Buona parte, in 1808, at Baynne, Godoij i was accused by Ferdinand as hav ’ ing betraved him to the Corsican ; but at his death lie left the remains i of his fortune, (amounting to about J seven millions of dollars] to Ferdi nand VII. FROM THE WEST INDIES. Capt. Sheffield, of the brig Hero, ar rived at this port yesterday from St. Thomas has politely furnished us with a St. Thomas paper of the 6th inst*— The following is the only article ot in telligence contained in it: Snr. Rrpub. The Colombian sloop of warOrinoke put into St. Bartholomews on the 29th ult. for the purpose of procuring sup plies, and on the same night the cap tain and some of the officers being on shore the crew mutined, and took pos session of the ship—they then sent ashore such of the officers as were on board, together, with some of the sail ors that were thought inimical to the proceeding. The mutineers immedi ately cut cable and set sail; two days after, she was seen off St. Thomas, steering to leeward, when she put 15 of her men (Frenchmen and Spaniards) on board of an American Brig bound to St. Croix. ‘Those that remained on board amounted to about 60, principal ly Englishmen.—The Urinoke hail on board £40,000 worth of Jewelry, a quantify of dry goods, and a great deal ot gold and silver plate. It was said to be the intention of the mutineers to proceed to Porto Rico or St. Do mingo to give up the ship to the Span ish government. The official account of the capture of the fortress of Porto Cabello is gi ven in the St, Thomas paper. All the artillery, and munitions of war, and all the small vessels in port were captur ed, and all the officers (including the commandant, Gen. Calzada) and men left a) ive, surrendered at discretion, with the municipality and government officers. Spirit of the British IV. India Islands. For a long time a determined spirit of hostility has existed be tween the Royal Governors and the Legislative Assemblies of ma ny’ of the British Islands, and a tone and vigor have been assumed by the latter, little inferior to any thing used by the American As semblies prior to the revolution, in the contest with the royal govern ors—while the former appear to hold a similar spirit of haughtiness and discornmodation. The tone used at Jamaica, is, “ Wc are de termined to resist, by every legal and constitutional means within our power, the unjust and arbitrary pre tensions of the British Parliament to the right ol Legislating for us.” A convention of Delegates from all the islands had been proposed, to take into consideration measures necessary to be adopted to resist the pretensions of parliament. Koslon Gazette. From the Hamburg Gatetteuf Dec. 31. We discharge the painful task in announcing the total destruction by o! the elegant new steam boat William Lowndes. The detail, as lar as we can collect the particulars is short and sad.—The boat had been under weigh during the whole of Saturday night, when about half past six o’clock on Sundav morning, (near Flowrv Gap, 47 miles below this place) the alarm of tire was given, which was discover ed in the hold on the right wing. —I he officers and crew used eve ry exertion to subdue it, but it spread with such rapidity, owing to the timbers of the Boat all being varnished, and to the great number ot crates ol crockery* on board, that in less than ten minutes from the first alarm, the whole main deck was enveloped in flames. The Passengers and crew were therfore obliged to seek their personal safe ty in a speedily flight. Fortuately no lives were lost, or any materi ai personal injury sustain . 1 scarce an article of any cl e s b .B was saved, even the clothing of the officers, fkc. were all destroyed ception of two or three small It is supposed that the total l"** property must amount to ck*’ B or upwards. ‘1 he manner i n v B the hre originated, cannot b e .B factorily accounted lor, t| l( S^ S B is gratifying to learn that JJ 1 * B much more so when they r?

Highway Robbers.—Mr. W arMr a drover, returning from New for, last week with a large sum ofn, c ! ney, was assaulted in a lonesome wood in New-Jersey by tw o rob. bers, who seized the bridle of his horse,presented a pistol to his breast and demanded his money. Mr. put spurs to his horse who cleared himself from their grasp. A pistol was fired, but it missed its aim... Mr. W. rode to the first house, gave the alarm, and returned in compa ny in pursuit. The principal rob ber was taken at Hoboken ferry- It appears that he crossed from N. York in the same boat with Mr. W and had gone on with a view of stopping him in some convenieat spot. The accomplice escaped- This shews how much may be ef fected in like cases by a little reso lution ; and how many* are there who under similar circumstance would have given up their properly for the want of it. Counterfeiters. —A letter from i gentleman in Niagara, Upper Cana da, dated Pth November, to a gentle man in Albany, mentions that five gen tlemen had volunteered their serviccs to go in pursuit of several counterfeit ers, taking with them as a guide, a fellow who had been convicted of the same offence. They were conducted to a swamp, about 15 miles back i Kingston, where they found several huts; in oneot which, ufter arresting a man and his wife, they found a >et ot die for coining dollars, and others (or doubloons, together with sheets ot copper, thin plate of silver &c. In other huts they secured four more persons, ami numerous pieces of un finished metal (or manufacturing gold and silver coin. The chief workman F landers, from the vicinity of the Mo hawk, had escaped a few days before to an island near Prescott, where he had located himself and familv, leav ing the others to follow as soon as practiblc (they have since got him) and brought with them all the imph ments left by him. • In addition to the above, several others had been arrested. /’lie dollars coined are lievicr and not perfectly round—they are not ea sily detected even by cutting in the side ol them ; the copper is in the cen tre and convex—they contain two thirds-copper and one third silver.- They are cut to fit the mould or die. and one blow or strike of the sledge on a wedge that is next the dies, com pletes the dollar, except the temper ing them, which is done in a few min utes by another. They likewise ha v plates on a number of the banks ot he United States, and banks of Cans da, &c. for counterfeiting their notes- John Zimmerman, living in the upper part of Pennsylvania, on the borders of Lehigh county,murdered his daughtei, aged about2o, a few days since. It is said the cause of this unnatural and horrible deed originated in the intention of the daughter to marry a person disap proved by the'fatncr.
