John Dunn Hunter.—The Natchitoches
Courier gives an account of the death of this
individual, rendered conspicuous as tho author
of “Hunter’s Narrative,” published a few years
ago, in England. • His book has been the theme
of abundant criticism, bo>h in newspapers and
periodicals. Hu has been pronounced an im
postor, and the charge appears to have been
well supported, although the Natchitoches pa
per is incredulous on that point. It appears
by the account, that Hunter was concerned in,
if not the prime mover of the late unfortunate
attempt to revolutionize Texas. Afrer some
of tho revolutionists had seceded from tlie a*-
tempt, or had been “seduced from their faith;”
and endeavoring in vain to rouse tlie Indians to
join in tho revolt, Hunter sots our for Nacogdo
ches to share the fate of his American friends
there, accompanied by two Indians. Ho stop
ped at a creek to let his horse drink, and while
thushnguarded in his security, one of his savage
companions shot him with a r flt*. He Ind just
previously to tho revolution, been to tho city of
Mexico, to procure a grant of lands in Texas,
The government promised to comply with his
request, but on his return the promise was not
complied with, which appears to have beep the
chief c tttso of revolt. The editor of the Cou
rier says, that Hunter was ignorant that he had
been pronounced an impostor.
The Vicar of Bray.—Tlie reader has fre
quen ly heard this reverend son of the church
menrinned; probably his name ha? outlived the
recollection of his m.tnecuvres to keep posses
sion of his benefice. Tho Vicar of Bray, in
Berksh're, was a Pup’st under the sway of
Henrv VIII. and a Protestant under Edward
VI.; ho was a Papist again under Queen Mary,
and again a Pro’estunt in tlie reign of Queen
Elizabeth. When this scandal to tho gown
was reproached for his frequent apos’acy, he
made *he following answer: “I -cannot help
that; 6ut if I changed my religion, I am sure I
kept true to my principle: which is, to live and
die Vicar of Bray."
Billiard Table in the. President's House
During the session of 1825—6, a report was
made to Congress by tho Committee on Pub
lie Buildings, to which was affixed n schedule
of tho furniture obtained for the President’;
house, and among other articles an expensive
billiard table was mentioned. Gen. Van Rens
selaer, Chairman of the committee, in a recent
letter to Judge Clarke, of Kentucky, states,
that the schedule was furnished by Mr. Adams'
private secretary, and was annexed to tho Re
port without examination, and hodi the Report
and Schedule were ordered to be printed by
the House without having been read in that
body. Gen. Van R. was afterwards informed
by the President, that the schedule was incor
rect so far as related to the billiard table, npd
that no part of the public appropriation had
been, or would be, applied to any such purpose.
Circumstances prevented the General from
making this explanation when tho conversation
on the subject took place in the House.

Bed and Bedsteads.—An article in tho Bos
ton Medical Intelligencer under this head, ve
ry pointedly condemns the use of feathers in
beds, and high-post bedsteads with curtains.—-
As the warm season is approaching, it is well
to consider this subject; for if our resort for
rest in the night is in any way mismanaged as
to produce uneasiness in sloop, wo are depriv
ed of a very important part of our necessary
refreshment. By means of a swellod-beam, le
ver, and ratchet wheel, the sacking bottom
may bo kept tight and level where the incum
bent weight is tho greatest.—Curtains, besides
exposing to the danger of fire, “oblige the en
veloped to breathe the same air six or eight
times, which ought to pass througli tho lungs
but once.” A matrass t)f husks, of straw, or
of hair, is recommended as far prefcrablo to
feathers, and as much better caculatcd, when
slept upon, to remain even and level.
India Gc.v Babhels.—It is stated in the

CORRESPONDENCE.
Between Mr. Gallatin and Mr. Canning.
Among tho documents communicated to
Congress by thePresident ofthd United States,
at tlie opening of ilie lato session of Congress,
w.is a letter from Mr. Canning to Mr. Gallatin
of September 11,1826, the answer of Mr. Gal-
lat'n of September 22, and n letter of instruc
tions from Mr. Clay to Mr. Galb.tin of Novem
ber 11. Among the documents laid before tho
Housst of Commons, March 26, is the reply of
Mr. Canning to Mr. Galladn, dated November
18,—a luttcr from Mr. Gallatin to Mr. Can
ning, dated December 28, after tho receipt of
the despa. ch above mentioned from Mr. Clay,
and communicating tho substance of that des
patch,—tnd lastly a letter from Mr. Canning •
to Mr. Gallatin, dated January 27, 1827.
In the letter of November 13, Mr. Canning
maintains the ground that Great Britain Ins a
right to preserve the monopoly of the trade of
her colonics; that it is a right which has been
practised and acquiesced in by all nations, and
a right of a different nature, from that right by
wlixli a nation may interdict all'foreign trade
with herself. He replies at some length to tho
argument of Mr. Gallatin against this right.—
In reply to the remark of Mr. Gallatin, that
the United States are excluded from a trade
with tho colonics, which is open to tlie rest of
the world, Mr. Canning says, that Great Bri
tain, for considerations of which she alone is
tho judge, has opened her colonial trade to o-
liter nations, not as a matter of spepial favor,
or of speci il claim to any one, but on specifi
ed conditions, common to h11 nations who m'rht
think fit to subscribe to them, and to the Unit
ed States among tho rest. If some of tho na
tions have taken idvantage of the opening of
fered to them, by accoptin? the condition an
nexed to it, and orhe^s, including the United
States, have omitted so to do, it is not a cor
rect description of the consequence, to say that
they are excluded by Great Britain from a
trade, which on the contrary she invited them
to share. The United States cannot put for
ward the protension, that what is granted to o-
thers on terms, should bo granted to them un-
conditionally.
The letter of Mr. Gallatin recapitulates ve
ry distinctly, the principal poin's ; n tho histo
ry of tho case, states the reasons which the go
vernment had for supposing that that of Great
B-itain would bo still willing to settle the points
in dispute hv negotintmn, notwithstanding *ho
act of Parliament of Julv, 1825, and dwells at
considerable length on the difficulties in tho
way of adjusting tho conditions on which tho
trade should ho continued, by independent acts
of legislation, arising from the difficulty, of in
terpreting annually tho act of 1825, and of
complying with ali tho conditions of it. Tho
letter concludes with expressions, of a desire
on the part of tho government of the United
States, to cultivate a cordial nnd lasting friend
ship with Great Britain, and settle every con
troverted question botween them on tho princi
ples of justice and reciprocity. It announces
the intention of the President to lay the cor
respondence on the subject before Congress;
—which body would decide, whothnr the co
lonial intercourse should be nltogothor closed,
or the conditions to which they would assent
for retaining it.
Tho following letter from Mr. Canning to
Mr. Gallatin, closes tho correspondence;
MR. CANNINO TO MR. OALtATIN.
Foreign Office, January 27, 1827.
The undersigned, &<■. has tlie honor to ac
knowledge the note addressed to him on the
28th ult. by Mr. Gallatin, &c.; in replying to
which, tho undersigned will, as far as possible,
conform himself to the example of Mr. Galla
tin, in putting aside thoso points of tbo question
in agitation between them, which have been al
ready exhausted in argument, and tho further
discussion of which would not tend to any prac
tical advantage.
The parts of Mr. Gallatin’s last note, which
appear to the undersigned to require any ob
servation, relate to matters rather of fact than
of reasoning.
Mr. Gallatin complains that tho Act of Par
liament of 1825 was not officially communicat
ed to tho Government of tho United States.
It is perfectly true that it was not: nor has
it been tho habit of tho two Governments to
communicate reciprocally to each other the
Acts of their respective Legislatures’.
Tlie Act of Congress of 1823—an Act, the
provisions of which specially affected Great
tt-ii..;.. .un- n.it'.vftirmlllv comiiiumoated, ci-
Britain—was not’oflkiiillly communicated, ci
ther to tho King’s Minister at Washington,
or to his Majesty’s Government by the Ameri
can Minister resident at this Court. So far
from any such communication being made, or
any voluntary explanation of the bearing of
that act being offered, it was not till nfter re-
S eated and pressing-inquiries, that his Majesty’s
linister at Washington succeeded in obtaining
from tho American Secretary of State, the
true construction of the most important clause
of that act, tho elaiis^.in which the United
States claimed that their trade to the British
West India colonies should be put on the same
footing with the trade to the same colonies from
‘elsewhere;’ and learnt, to his great astonisli-
incnt, that- under that word, ‘elsewhere,’ was
