March 19 21 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. Samuel Stigall s. 36 9 4, John W« Messer 89 17 2. Thomas D.

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.

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
