Miss Elvira Cooper, step daughter of William Lemon, esq. of this town. The time and manner of this yoting lady’s decease, were peculiarly awful and affecting. It was to have been her wedding night; she had retired to her room to dress, apparently in perfect health, and in less than fifteen minutes she was discovered to be a corpse by her sister, who entered the room to assist her in dressing. By this time the friends had begun to assemble to witness the nuptial ceremony ; but alas ! how changed the scene.—She was a woman of deli cate frame, and it is supposed her sudden death was occasioned by fainting in a cold room; that her blood chilled and stagnated before any relief could be afforded. It is probable if any person had been in the room with her, she might have been relieved. % s Captain Morris, who ca me up in a shallon last evening, reports that off North point about 12 at night, he fell in with a sloop up set and nearly sunk—her side being about 2 feet out of water and covered with ice. Jler sails were floating on the water. Balt. Tel .Dec. 22. - WASHINGTON, DEC. 20. Indians Affairs.— The deputation of Cherokee chiefs, that lately arrived here for the purpose of settling the affairs of their nation with the government of the U. States, have suddenly taken their departure; hence it is conjectured that they are dissatisfied with the arrangements understood to be preparing by the United States for their future government. The respected and venerable Return J. Meigs, agent for the nation at Highwassee, through whose benev olent and indefatigable exertions, they have been advanced in civilization far beyond any other on the continent, will no doubt endeavor to establish a proper understand ing, honorable to our government and bene ficial to the Cherokee nation. If is well known that they have manifested, for a long time, a disposition and deportment perfect ly friendly to the whites, and consequently enjoyed a share of happiness and tranquili ty, hitherto unknown amongst their neigh boring tribes. Jh)iendm*nt to the Constitution. —The legislature of South Carolian concurred in an amendment to the constitution of the United States, suggested by the legislature of Kentucky, which requires that no con gress hereafter, shall make any law, fixing the compensation of its members, which shall take effect until after the election of anew congress. . RICHMOND, DEC. 23. CHANGE OF WEATHER. On Sunday, a short Snow-gust brought usa change of weather.—The spell has been excessively cold. Saturday and Sunday nights were the severest nights we have witnessed for a long time.—The effects is visible on the basin of the Canal, which deep as it is, is already bound with ice—much ice is also seen on the margin and even the middle of the James river—The change from a mild to u severe temperature is as tonishing. * AIKX ANI> 111 A, VIII. !>K(% 22.

Blagphemif. —Amidst all the vices and all the enormities of the Algerine Turks, (a people distinguished for violente and ra pacity, and almost every species ot cruelty) some good qualities are observable. The most abandoned wretch never presumes to utter the name of God in vain, or add it, by way of decoration, to his ribaldry. When will this be said, even among men who glory in their superior light and inform ation ? —•— FROM THE AUBURN GAZETTE. Female. Dancer. —We are informed, says the Gnondago Register of the 26th of Nov. that on Sundav last, at about 3 o’clock in / the afternoon, a young woman in Dryden in the county of Tompkins, apparently in the enjoyment of health and her mental facul ties, commenced dancing(whether hornpipe or old fashioned jig, we know not) with great life and animation, which she contin ued with very little intermission until about 8 o’clock at night, when she was obliged to sthp, being nearly exhausted. During her frolic she would not answer any questions, neither did she notice any thing which %Vas passing about her. If made to sit down she would fall on the floor, and when libe rated would resume her dancing. When she had got through with her exercise she could talk as usual ; but knew nothing of what she had been doing, as she says. From the Albany Daily Advertiser. The Albifiess. —We took an early oppor tunity yesterday morning to visit the cele brated Albiness, who has recently arrived in this city from England, via Canada, and were gratified at finding a large circle of ladies and gentlemen already assembled at her room. Her deportment was uncom monly correct, without either a timidity that would have been inconsistent with her pursuit, or any improper forwardness that might render her an object of disgust. Her features cannot be called beautiful, but her complexion is of the most transparent puri ty, though its appearance is certainly un natural, Her hair is of the brightest flax color, resembling tresses of fine floating silk, and falls over her shoulders in the most luxuriant folds. Her eyes are of a bright pink color. They have a tremulous motion ot which she is herself unconsicious and vary their hues as she changes her op sition and receives the reflections of light. . How the phenomenon is to be explained we leave for oujr medical and philosophical friends. We can only say that we regard ed it with singular curiosity. She states that there are six children of the family, three of which have dark hair and eyes, and the eyes, compaction and hair of the other two, are like her own.

THF. commissioners of the SUNBURY ACAD EMY, respectfully inform the public, that the Academy will be opsned on Monday, the sth of January ensuing, under the care and instruc tion of Mr. Chacncet G. Lee, from Connecticut. The school will then be established under the expectation of permanency, and the provisions are such, as certainly to induce the persuasion, that any number of young ladies and gentlemen, who may bend their course this way for instruc tion, will find here a very advantageous resort for literary improvement and moral and polite cultivation. The terms of tuition are 36 dollars per annum for scholars studying the dead lan guages and high”- bcaunheanf tliemathematicks. and 30 dollars for all others ; payable quarterly in advance. Boarding may be obtained reasona bly at the Academy, or in its vicinity. It is to be hoped and presumed, that the citi zens of a discerning and enlightened community, will not permit the old institution at Sunbury, while good academic instruction can there be obtained, in such a healthy and'retired quarter of our country, to wither for want erf patronage and support: but that they will extend the fos tering hand, and encourage its prosperity, until they may find it more for their interest to do otherwise. , Mr. Lee has brought on with him from New- York, a general assortment of classical and school Books and Stationary, with which any students may be furnished on the most reasonable terms.
