Js&kwnaft: FIRTMt MOBJy.MC, May 17. —-.---- Mb. Bartlt.t—You are requested to state that the intrusion of my name upon the public, in your paper of yesterday morning l , as a military candidate, was wholly unauthorzed and unwar ranted. H. P RUSSELL. JJ. S. Brig Enterprise. —We learn by the sloop Edward, captain Whelden, from Tampico, that this vessel wa9 left at that place 26 days since,! taking'in water, bound on a cruize, and to this j port. Captain Savage, at Boston, reports that ’ the Enterprize arrived at Campeachv about the j middle of March, and sailed on the 27th for Vera 1 Cruz. He understood she had taken, at differ- j ent times, 17 sail of piratical vessels, and destroy-1 ed most of them; but made no prisoners, their; crewshaving all made llieir escape. We learn, says the Palladium, that captain Sa- \ vage brought information, that a difference had occurred between the governor of Campeachv and captHi Kearney. The former intending to seize some property which the latter considered American, and was determined to protect, and 1 to retaliate any hostile measures. Bos. Gaz. , A man named Coolv, was lately taken up on suspicion of passing counterfeit money, at Fay- [ etteville, N. C. but was discharged for want of: evidence to warrant his detention. While be-! fore the magistrate, he was observed to cast a j bundle from him, which was searched for, and j could not then be found, but a few hours after ’ his release, it was picked up. It contained about j ,500 dollars in one dollar notes of the Hank of the ; State of South Carolina, altered to 20 and 50 dot lur notes; one note of the Newborn bank, with! the figures taken out ready to be altered, and a variety of copper plates tor changing tiie de nomination of bank notes. Cooly .is a man of middle size, about 25 years of age, well made, light complexion; and fair curly hair. He mov ed southwardly from Fayetteville, and will pro bably visit this city, where, we understand, he is pretty well known already.— Chur. Mercury. We yield to the earnest request of a most par ticular and respected friend at Washington—a request, dictatated by the most honorable mo tives “in the cause of humanity”—and lay the following article before our readers. Yet may we not ask why two high and distinguished men in this country, the particular friends of the par ties, should not bury every other consideration, ’ and preserve such citizens for the benefit of , their country.— Rich. Enq. rxr.Tr.icT. “ Washington, .If y 5. “As the adjournment of Congress approaches ‘the impending meeting between Col. Gumming and Mr. M‘l)uftie becomes more and more a sub ject of conversation and of deep interest. It is known that they are to meet in the next 35 days, yet it would be” in vain to bind them to keep the peace in every particular state 1 , unless the power also existed to issue writs of ne exeat against them. They are both “capital shots,” as the phraze is, and will both, in all probability, fell. “The country has not yet recovered from the deep loss of a Mason, adorned with every civic wreath—of a Decatur, the glory of the ocean, whom the genius of feudality has wrenched from our bleeding bosoms. Two other victims are already bound for the same horrid altar: Gum ming, who so lately’ bled in the righteous cause of his country—the man of honor, of genius, of fancy and literature; but who, even in these rich possessions, is not the superior of bis antagonist, M'Duffie. “Fortune smiled not on his humble birth,” but gifted with a soul, which, like that of Ch ’Merton, could not be stifled in obscurity— like Franklin, he has already cast behind him every difficulty that stood in the way of splendid public utility'. •‘The same year, and the same neighborhood gave birth to these y oung men. Perhaps the same graveps destined to receive their bloody re mains! HoV deeply’ is it to be regretted that it cannot be lef’ to the future historian of the coun try to trr.cfe out some forty years more of their patriotic services and triumphs.” COMMU.VirATIOX. r You Quatko —T recebc you commimicasum by Ole Chine, ond 1 gibe you good lianser ’rectly— Tsha! you ’peak jiss like you know nutting bout de business.

C. came up to town in a pilot-boat, and has j furnished us with Greenock and Glasgow pa- j pers to the 7th ult. containing London dates to ‘ the evening of the 3d ; from wliich we liave made the following extracts, being the only ar ticles of interest, which, on a hasty perusal, we have discovered- London, (Tuesday evening) April 2. The following is an extract of a private letter which we received this morning : “ Paris, March 23, 2 o’clock, P. M. “ It is said a telagraphic dispach has this morn ing announced that Gen. Berton had just been arrested at St. Calais, Department of Sartbc.” HOUSE OF COMMONS, APRIL 2. Mr. Robertson presented a petition from the Merchants of the city of London, praying for some alteration of the restrictions on the East India trade. The petitioners had observed a disposition to remove some injudicious restric tions; and the lion. Member hoped with them, that their prayer would experience the serious attention of the House. | Sir. Sykes urged the importance of the ship | ping interest, and expressed his fear that the opening of the West India trade with America would prove detrimental to this cotntry. The ’ petition merited serious attention, j Mr. Ellice adverted to the injudicious princi- I pie of imposing restrictions on the West India i trade. j Mr. Ricardo agreed in what had fallen from ! the hon. Member who had presented the peti ; tion. j Royal Exchange, London, W ednesday eve. 9p. 2. j Navy 5 per cents. 103; Consols, 79$ . India i Bonds 625. pm.; Ex. Bills 6s. pm. liousiiOF commons Mr. W. Smith presented petitions from vari ous bodies of Protestant Dissenters, in different parts of the Kingdom, praying an alteration in the Marriage Ac.. The petition having been read, tiie lion, member gave notice that lie would, on the 17tb April, submit a motion to the House on the subject. Mr. Canning said he had received several ap plications from different quarters, io know whether the notice the gave on the Catholic [ Question, a few days ago, was conditional or positive. He wished now to state that lie should certainly bring forward his motion on the 30th April, the day originaly named by him. On the motion of Lord Londonderry, it was ordered that the House, at its rising, should adjourn in this day fortnight.

A report signed “ Alexandet Macomb, ■major general ami chief engineer.”in an swer to certain queries propounded by the military committee of the House of liep rescetiDives, furnishes the following par ticulars : The works at. Old point Comfort are es timated to cost 5815,814, are three fourths done, and have cost 605,098 dollars ; they are to mount 200 52pr. and 120 JSpr. can non and 60 large mortars ; ami to require 2625 men during war and 600 in peace. Those on the flip Rap School to cost 904,355, one third done, 313,225 dollars expended—to mount 106 32pr. 54 24pr. and 54 iSpr. cannon; and to require 1130 men in war and 200 in peace. Those at Mobile Point to cost 692 292, nearly one fourth done, 148,067 dollars ex pended—to mount 54 S2pr. cannon and! 10 mortars; and to require in war 900 men arid in peace 100. Those at Dauphin Inland to cost the same, four thirteenths done, to mount the same number and weight of ordnance, and to require the same quantity of men in war and peace. Those at the Rigalets and Mar.teur each to cost §264,516, about four-fifths done, each to mount 33 32pr. and 25 18pr. cannon, and 6 mortars, and requiring 400 men in war and 80 in peace. Mhesc expenses are estimated as for the completion of the works, previous to the reception of their amendment or garrisons. It is observed, however, that the progress of the works on the Gulf of Mexico have not been proportionate to the amount ex pended, compared with that originally es timated, and given above, in conscience of unexpected difficulties. By another report, in answer to certain enquiries of the committee of ways and means, it appears that the island or mole forming on the “ Rip Raps,” has wholly cost 327,205 dollars, and that 102,467 perches of stone have been deposited on the shoal—that a further deposite of 100, 223 perches of stone are required ; but, as the exterior of the mole is to be cased with large stones, to resist the action of the sea it is supposed the cost of the latter will exceed that of the former amount de posited, in the sum of 60 or 80,000 dollars. Mr. Young’s Theatrical Corps arrived at Milledgeville, from Augusta, and to perform there for the first time., on the eve ning of the Bth inst. From Use LoSlon Gazette, DEAF AND DUMB. We believe it is generally known, that a . number of deaf and dumb children, be : lunging to Massachusetts, have been at the ! Asylum, in Hartford, for several years— and that those of them, whose parents are I poor, are supported at the expense of the| state. The whole number of these bene ficiaries is twenty-six. There are many, others at the institutions, who are support- j ,ed by their parents. It is now two a ,tl a half years since those who receive their support from the public treasury, were sent to the asylum. The instructors suggested to the Su preme Executive, who have the direction of the fund granted by the General Court that, if it were desired, tme of them wouitl visit Boston with some of the pupils, to shew the manner of teaching these unfor tunate youth, and the progress they had already made. The proposal was accept ed ; and Mr. Weld, one of the instructors, came to this city, with some of his pupils, for the purpose. Had it been consistent j with the arrangements of the institution,; he would have come on when the Legisla- j ture was in session. It was also to be re gretted, that His Excellency the Governor was prevented from attending, by a pre vious engagement; but a large company of respectable citizens, and ladies, assembled in the State House, on Monday afternoon, to witness the proofs of the knowledge and acquirements of these children. There were seven of them present —four of them belonging to Boston ; and all, except young Loring, supported by the slate. The evi dences given of their intelligence, and of; the improvement which they had made at I the asylum, were very striking and satis-j factory. The questions were proposed to] them by their instructor, by significant signs; and they gave their answers in writing, on a large tablet prepared for the purpose. Not only were common and simple questions proposed, such as are usu ally given to young children, when begin ning to learn the rudiments of grammar ; but inquiries were a more com plex character, and inching abstract irie.as—and a single emphatical word was given, with a request, that they would con sider itlas a subject on which to write a sentence of theii own composition. In all tins they were prompt and pertinent, and discovered much discrimination of mind. Loring, of this town, and IVhiton, of Bingham, who havebeen longer at the asy lum than the others, were particularly noticed as ready and quick in understand ing the questions ; some of which were asked by a person present, and a stranger to them, and which could have had no re ference to any of their studies. It is very pleasing to find, on this partial examina tion, that the youth had not only acquired considerable useful information, but had some clear and strong views of the Deity ; of the accountability of mar, and of the difference between moral good and evii. We cannot but express a hope and be lief, that their minds will not be bewildered and their feelings needlessly agitated, by any speculative or controversial points in theology. Let them be taught the merciful as well as holy attributes of Deity—that lie is a kind parent, as well as a moral Judge—that they are responsible : and that the sincere and humble will be accept ed, through the Redeemer. William Gross lias been convicted of Mu'der in the first degree, for putting to I to death Keziah Stow. The case was of a most aggravated nature. The punish ment is Death. Gne of the persons sum moned as a Juror, a member of the Socie ty of Friends, declared himself conscien tiously scrupulous of returning nay ver dict which should affect the life of anoth er. Judge Hallowed took occasion to say that lie was himself a memberof Friends’ Society, that there was no rule of the So ciety which embraced trie exception of the ijurior and urged him to serve. The juror assurd the judge, the. his conscientious convictions disqualified him from faithful ly discharing the duty of a juror, and that for that reason and that alone, he must decline being impannelled. The judge, no doubt from a scene of duly , committed the jurior to prison. We consider this commitment, and ail other commitments, for a similar cause, as direct violations of the constitution of the United States and of the State of Pennsylvania. It is a vio lation of the rights of conscience as it res pects the juror and a violation, as it re gards society, of the! gurantee that every criminal shall be tried by an impartial ju ry. How cain a jury be “ impartial” when any of its component parts have conscien ciously made up their minds before they have heard one wind of the evidence? Demo. Pre*s. The report of (he committee on the Gen eral Post Office is a most unsatisfactory document.— It is enough to confirm suspi cion as to mismanagement, if not conup tion, in that department. The commit tee found the law not complied with in re lation to the contracts —they found many instances in which the contracts ,c were not given to the lowest bidder,” they found the expen-es of many of the Deputy Post Masters “highly extravagant” —they found last year a balance against the department of 5150.959.000; they found due from Deputy Post Masters j§370,108,24 of the public money, but whether these things a arose from “ the want of proper manage ment in the post office concerns” the com mittee were unable to find, and therefore, “ would not undertake to decide." —This report it is highly disreputable (o the com mittee, and cannot fail to induce a general belief that the concerns of that office are not conducted with fidelity to the public interest. Isa committee of congress can not, during a session of 5 mouths, ascert [tian whether this department is so inuc 1 mismanaged as to cause a loss of one hurt dred and fifty thousand dollars a year, lit not the duty of the President, in (be n jeess of congress, to have the accounts and concerns of the Post Office thoroughly in vestigated. It cannot be suffered to re.,t as it is. Perhaps as good a way as any oth er would be remove the present incum bent and place an honest and a capable man at the head of the department.— ib. \|ff) Port of Savannah, A It RIVED, Sloop Union, Snlowich, 2 days from Sufibury, with cotton, to j A Maxwell,’ Bulloch & Dunwo | dy, and R & J Htibersliain. j Os the vessels mentioned in onr paper as buv ! big sailed yesterday, only the ship Asia, and brig Belvidere for N York succeeded in fretting 1 to sea, the wind being very light ami baffling.
