SAVA NIVA H, THURSDAY MORXING, JULY 30, 1829*
W chard If artisan was then sworn upon
the jury, in tho room ot Qeorge Cover,
A;I . Swann, tlien in a very biicf manner,
op’ tied the case, by reading the indictment,
and e xplaining the various facts which wtre
set forth. He stated that to sustain these
facts several witnesses would be culled
by whom it would he proved that
the Secretary of the'"Navy had been indu
ced to sanction the issuing of a requisition
for the 730 dollars charged, by the false
representations of Dr, A atliius, iu which he
placed confidence, it whs also charged
that Dr. \V atkins had applied this muney
to bis own use, with iuteip to dof.aqd the
Government, which formed the contestiple
part of the indictment. This would be
proved by witnesses who would show that
Dr. Watkins hud drawn a draft on Mr.
Paulding, the Navy A gnt, for the amount
stated, and for that draft had received the
money of Mr. Fowler; and that Jo meet
tliis draft a requisition was obtained from
tlie Secretary of the Treasury. i|o was
therefore of tho opinion that this part of
the cuss would be made clear to the jury.—
Ha would refrain from going into any ar
gument, but leave it to the jury to decide
according to the evidence which should be
produced. -
The original of tire letter written by Dr.
Watkins to Mr. Paulding advising him of
th\* draft fm 750 dollars, was then put iu by
Mr. jS'wann. Tho date of this letter was
January 16. 1828
Mr. Paulding, Mr. Fowler, the flon.
Samuel L. Southard, and Mr. Cottringer,
was then severally called, sworn and exa
mined. \\ e retrain from going into the
details of their testimony until the case shall
have gone to the Jury.
A s there appears to be a disposition on
the part of the prosecution to leave no meaas
which ingenuity can suggest untried,to obtain
a conviction of Dr. Watkins, and that dis
position is watched and vigorously encoun
tered in a!) its promptings, by the defend
ant’s counsel the progress of the trial is ne
cessarily obstructed at almost every ste’p.— ■
L is extremely uncertain whether the whole
us the testimony will be given in before the
close of this day’s sitting of tiro court; ai*d f
in that contingency the case will scarcely
he committed to the jury before to-morrow,
Tho great anxiety which this trial has
produced upon the public mind, may be es
timated by the numbers which assembled in
the court room vest today, to witness the
proceedings. Jd the course of the trial, the
court has already been frequently called
upon tf* decide upon the admission of do
cument, and the relevancy ofquestions sub
mitted by the Counsel for the United States,
md to which objections atp ukon by the
Counsel for tjio accused.
Extract of a jeTter to the Editor of the
Uc S. Gazette, dated Washington Jidy fj.
There is a rumour, for ihe truth of which
I wiji not pretend to vouch, that Mr M,
C ill, the agent for the Meditenanean squad
ron, is to be removed, and that Mr. Carson,
the member of congress from N. parolina,
is to have ths appointment. It is some
what marc certain that a disposition has
been manifested to reduce the commissions
at present allowed to tho agent pu that Sta
ton. -■
Yen will perceive by th#i papers, tl)ai
Mnj or W. |3 Lewis, appointed by Gener
al Jackson lobe second auditor, is a public
defaulter The fact is pretty well ascei>
tallied, ail tho denials of the Telegraph to
tlje contrary * notwithstanding. This de
tection has caused much excitement here;
and if it should be followed up, as I think
it not improbable, by the discovery of oili
er defaults among the new officers, tho de
tection of the class of men which has been
prosecuted by General Jackson, will obtain
for him less credit than his been anticipa
ted and calculated on by his friends.”
‘ FROM BUENOS AYRES.
New York , July 11.
The United States* sloop of war, Boston,
Bookman V. Hoffman, E;q. Commander,
arrived at this port yesterday from Buenos
Ayres, via Montevideo and Pernambuco
She left the former port on the llth o{ May,
and has had tho remarkable short passage
of 39 d&vs from Montevideo, including four
days dwtcritioo nt porn ntpljuMC
VVo have received /iom our correspond
ent Mr. Buihir at Montevideo, through the
politeness of Lieu r . Hardy, a file of papers
from Montevideo to the 27th of May, in
clusive. Verbal intelligence is aiso receiv
ed from Buenos Ayres to the 30th May, by
which we learn ihi the city was in posses*
si,in of tho ‘ Army of the Provinces,'’ ex
cept the Grand Pl:-za de Victoria and the
Citadel, and it was expected that they
would soon surrender Lnvalle was in the
cinq and using every ejtertioiLjp maintain
the ascendancy, but there was scarcely a
hope of his succeeding. Those parts of
the city which remained to him vsefe close
ly invested by tha troops under Generals
Lopez and Rosa, and there is every pro
bability that be/pre this the death of Dor?
rego has been avenged.
Admiral Brown bad resigned his situa
tion as Provisional Governor of the Pro?
vjner, and it was reported when the Bos
ton sailed, that'ho was about fitting out a
fleet to proceed j.gainst Sap Nicholas or
Santa Fe, but the last accounts received a
Montevideo jitau and the project Had been a
bandonpd. ’
Iu consequence of aijodgrd insults to thn

At Mpiitev.dto all was apparently tran

there was soppe jarripg among the leaders
They were busily engaged in rerulating the
government and framing a constitution for
that province.
The house of Dana & Carman, of Bue

Lieut. Calhoun came up to town yestor

ernment,
flie Gazcia of Montevideo, mentions
that accounts were teceived from varjous
parts of the interior, of every species of
crime being committed by bandits and as
sassins The police of Government Hud
proved inefficacious in suppressing them;
or, rather, there was no police at all estab
lished fur the counfry.
We translate from the Gaceta of the
i.I - •
18h May, the following official communi
cation of Gen. Lopez to Geo. Lavaije.—rr
It is without date.
When the actual government of Bue
nos Ayres after hinging on the provinces
of the union the most sanguinary outrages,
replied by invading the provinces of Eiitre
Rios and §auta Fe, to the protest, made by
the latter, who asked on her part, satisfac
tion for such insults, there remained to the
undersigned, as Governor and Captain
General of Santa Fe, no other course than
that of repelling force, by force. The mel
ancholy civil war was justified. The ac
tual government of Buenos Ayres had
trampled on ail rights, violated ail obser
vances, and treated with contempt ancient |
compacts, closed its ears against all discus- ;
sion, and in this manner placed Santa Fe
and the other provinces of the union iu the
alternative of consenting to have its fate
disposed of by whosoever should acquire
the power in Buenos Ayres, or of takiug up
arms repel those of an unjust enemy
f‘ Santa Fe adopted won pries. but with
out hesitation the latter course. The gov
ernment was anxious for an opportunity of
opening new negotiations for peace but her
dignity foibade it. Anew outrage had
proved the result of the first advance, and
there was no reason to expect better con
sequences from another attempt.
“Such was the. state of things, when the
sovereign representation of the provinces
of the Union named the undersigned Gen
eral ip-Chief oftheir army, organized to
sustain their cause and their rights, Invest
ed with that character, he degrns it his duty
lo advise ifie actual government of Buenos
4yre3, that the pcpylpces of the Union take
up at rs very upwi}}ing iq the present war.
The violent and unjustifiable conduct which
has been observed towards them, renders
it necessary. They have not given occa
sion lor war, and they were the first, ami
will continue to the last, to call out for peace;
which they will be forever disposed to ra
tify, stipulating for satisfaction and repara
tion of the injuries they hays and
security that ihey vyill not be repeated.—
Should the government of Buenos Ayres
not be disposed to accept Conditions so e
quiiable, it may attempt in vain hereafter
to throw on the provinces tho odium of a
fir-t aggression. No one can mistake the
nature and the causes of the war, and none
but the government of Buenos Ayres, will
impute to them the Argentine blood which
maybe shed, and the incalculable evils
which will follow On tho actual govern
ment of Buenos Ayres it depends, whether
the Republic is to blaze with a cruel and
barbarous war, or to enjoy tb
of peace. Heaver* &*ant tnat the voice of
justice rrr\?’ Jl !< ist be heard iu her councils.
J The undersigned hopes for a reply from
the provisional Governor of Buenos Ayres,
and m the meanwhile, salutes him with
respect.
14 ESTANISLAO LOPE^.”
fit tfie same paper of the 20;h, we find a
reply from Lavalle, dated at head-quarters
in Rosario, Mat ch 2.6. He states, that be
ing compelled to make war by General Lo
pez, he entered the ptoyince of Santa Fe
with 600 horse, in snatch of a fiedd of bat*
tie to determine the civil war at once; but
li.at not having found one he was willing to
make propositions for peace He denies
that the provisional governmjent.*f Buenos
Ayres provoked the war. His letter is ar
rogant and sarcastic, and addressed not to
the General-in-Chief, hut to the Goyernor
of Santa Fe. As |o the satisfacijon for past
injuries, asked for by Lopez, he says the
demand seems made in anticipation of that
which Buenos Ayres mighf qiake. Thai
matter, however, he considers a trival ob
stacle in the way of peace. But he says
that the government ot Buenos Ayres will
only Teat with that of Santa Fe, extending
the negQciations, il desired to the province
pf Entre Rios, but not to Si. Bustos.
On the 30th of March and us April,
Lop* z addressed Lavalle in reply, having
submitted his letter to the consideration <d
the repiesenittiiVes of the Republic, He
sets forth at full length, the acts ol Lavalle,
is usurpation of power, murder of Durre?
* and invasion of Santa F ; and calls up

PROPOSALS,
BY ALEXANDER CAMPBELL,
pOH PUBLISHING BY SUBSCRIPTION,
4 DEBATE
ON THE EVIDENCES OF CHRISTIANITY,
Held between Robert Owen , of New Lanark, Sent -,
land, und Alex/. Campbell, of Beth ny x Virgin
fad in the citu y f Cincinnati , Ohio, beginning •
On the U th, and with the intermission of
pnt Sunday, continued till the evening
of the 21 if April, 1829.
ROBERT ‘Owen read’and spoke J 5 hours on
the side of Scepticism—-Alexander Campbell
on the side of Christianity, spoke 23 hours, making
in all 5 hours per day for S days.
This discussion was taken down in short han<|
by My. Charles H Sim*, of Cincinnati, a very,
competent stenographer, who preferred an hnlne
fiiate remuneration for h.s services right of
publication; it therefore devolved upon the P4rtie<j
to remunerate Mr- Sims, and tO’undertake the
publication theniselvcs Having agread to givo
him 500 dollars for his report; and Mr.
about to return to Europe, having sold liis inter
est in the work, l have become the solo proprir
etou ; *
A very imperfect outline of this discussion caq
he given in any prospectus. To say the least of
it, it was pgrhaps the most interesting discussion
which has occurred since the’ Reformation, or
perhaps before that msrmfifabie epoch The ceia
brity of.Mr. Owen, and his bold attack on all re
Jigions, gave great expectations to the sceptical
world. Having myself expected much, I aceu?
IT,plated a large variety of documents and argu
ments in defence of Revelation, and explored al|
the systems of scepticisms of ancient and motferq
times. Tim social system, too, so ably plead by
Mr. Owen, came in review. No work of tiie sumo
kind can be found in any language or country
Tho bulwarks of Christianity anti Scepticism
clearly and fully exposed side by side. And many
documents, inaccessible to t.)io great mass ofrnani
