I HM Wm 1 .. ~ S>&QO3Sh Tuesday Morning, June tl, ISSO. TIIF. FOURTH OF JULY. Wc arc pleased to learn tliat are 1 being made to celebrate this day in a becoming man- Her. Its recurrence must always bring along with it 1 to every American bottom tbs most pleasing associa- ■ tions. The mind naturally turns back upon the past; it views through the yista of bv-gone years, or by the light of history, tlv condition of these United States s when they were dependent colonies of Great Britain : —we think of the unnatural aggressions of the parent country ;of the injustice of the attempts to impose taxes on our forefathers without their content; and j of the many other acts of oppression which are ex- j bibited in such bold relief in that masterly production’ j the Declaration of Independence. We feel a pleas- j ing jjiow of emotion, when we reflect upon the char- | acier of that band of men, who achieved j the triumph of the principle that there should be “ n i taxation without representation.” The mighty task j they accomplished, can never be forgotten—-Imeri- i cans, as they rise up in successive generations, will j acknowledge the eternal debt of gratitude. It is true • t hey did not, as is often represented by our orators j and writers, achieve the independence of America— . to admit this would be to presuppoee her in a state , of slavery. The country now called the United j .States was free before the Declaration of Independence I was signed or promulgated. Our forefathers, driven from their native land by persecution, on account of their religious opinions, sought iu thv inhospitable x ilds of tin* western hemisphere, a place where they could follow the dictates of their conscience x ithout molestation. When they arrived here, they found , no government or laws—they were then free, in the j wid i st sense of the word, and were at liberty to ere- j ate their own institutions, and frame their own laws. In adopting such laws of the parent country as were . suited to their condition, they did not tacitly or ex* I preally acknowledge the right of Great Britain to j impose on them a form of government, or forfeit their j title to the freedom to which they had a natural and ] indefeasible right from the moment they took posses- : sion of the sod- This freedom th *n was enjoyed i without interruption, until the English ministry un- j dertook to tax the colon L*a, and Ute war of the revo- ! lution was at first waged, not for the purpose of j achieving ind :pend dice, the id aof which was then repelled, but to fore * the British government to re linquish the principle of taxation. It was not until after the war had begun, that absolute independence was resolved upon, and the sages and heroes of ill - revolution, although they did not disenthrall their countrymen from the chains oftyrunny, because they always had been free, yet they dissolved the political connection between them and the mother country, which, had it been suffered to continue, would have entirely changed the and stiny of America, and the fortunes of her people. They thus secured the inde pendence. of their country, and established their liber ties on a permanent basis. The blessings which have resulted from their noble efforts will be fell by ages yet to come, and millions to be born—and on each an niversary of our ind pendence it particularly behove* i us, as Americans. U recall u urnul unfir : deed's, and to reflect on tin importance of the legacy which their wisdom and value has transmitted to us Du. Arnold’:* Masonic Address.— W have been politely furnished with a copy of th* address deliv ered at tiicUuitarian Church, in the city ofSavan nah, on the Festival of Si. John, the Evangelist, by Dr. Richard D. Arnold. It is a charts and eloquent production and reflects much credit upon its author Three thousand years luvc gone uown the tide of ; time, since Masonry began her glori ,*us march. The j whirlwinds of war have passed over the earth, j spreading desolation and death—the monuments of grandeur have crumb!;d into dust—th A sceptre hath fallen from llic palsied arm of the monarch; yen kin’s have tumbled from their lofty thrones, and em pires have passed away, in the splendid drama f destruction, sine - the sublime edifice of Masonry first dipped its spire in the clouds and shed its bril- Miance on the benighted bosom of the world. Hand in hat*! with science it hath kept its march, amid the melancholy ruins of ages, and it hath triumphed over the bulwarks of opposition in every age and in every clime. The prejudice of bigotry and the ty . rannv of ignorance have tl -d before it, as the shades of night before the orient orb of day. The lamp of Masonry hath ulluininated with its light the darkest night of time, and was instrumental in dispelling the gloom which once hung on the fair brow of learning. While the Eleusinian, and a!! the mysteries of an cient E :ypt, have been submerged and slept in the dark vortex of oblivion, those of Masonry have survived, ani will flourish, pcrhnps, until time shall tumble over the precipice of empires, and be lost in the ruins of a thousand centuries. What religion is to the Christian world, Masonry is to the moral; and in her march we behold some of the noblest attri butes of nuturt. Not more grand and glorious is the blue pavilioutf arch which encircles the uni verse— beauliftd and sublime, isthe rainbow in the east, where jusice and mercy meet, than the glorious galaxy ofbcneiolcnce and charity'. Founded onthe nosiest principles of human nature, the Ark of Ma so-try can n-vtr Be moved. The storm of passion tnsy beat against it—the thunders of tyrannical de nanciatiotis may endeavour to subvert it—but it will still stand initsown native originality, unhurt by the I demons of ignorance and darkness. The antiquity I of the institution—the long and splendid march of I Masonry and the innumerable sons of genius who lave joined her ranks, all prove her glory and substan tiate her worth. Look or. the pages of history for _ to- noufirmation, and sec how the glory of the world ’■sib passed away, and how the mighty of the earth, wi'h splendid kingdoms, have fallen, while Masonry hath marched through her own blood, to her present macnilicenee and triumphant victory. Where now are the trophies of grandeur and inagniScencc which once adorned Egypt and Judea? p-Tbcy are a id the undistinguished wrecks of ages. Where now are the glittering towers of Troy, from which the destroyers of the house of Priam were welee*ned by the Spartan darnel Where now is the Trojan hero, who was dragged by the wrathful son si pclytts atj;j chariot wheels'? dias, the mighty 4k* sand the dreadful Achilles arc no more — they ’ are bm. and bendkth the cenotaph of time — they live La ou the pages of the Iliad. -,1. -o- ft Hn the sunns ‘of Famainus and behold v the garden of the globe, a <r the land of Solon and Lycurgua. Listen to the immortal strains of Homer, and the sublime eloquence or Dem osthenes. Observe Philip of Msec don, as he vanish | c* in the vortex of revolutions, and his daring son, | as he plucks the diadem from the brow of the Persian ! warrior. Sec Athens, Thebes, and Sparta, alter nately holding the reins of empire, and the whirl | winds of faction driving the wheels of destruction j round the land. Where now is the glory of ancient ; Greece 1 Where now’ is the land of science and of song 1 Where now are her victorias armies—her brave warriors--her illustrious statesmen; her innnor j tal poets. They have gone down the rapid tide of time. They have censed to exist hut in the scroll of ! fame. Beneath the vengence of Rome they were swept away, and where now is Greece I From the grasp j of the turbaned Turk she st ruggled to be free, And * I the hour all thought had arrived when it was acc >m- I plished. Rut even with freedom, th has fallen. The ! lamp of learning has been extinguished, and darkness i rests upon the bosom of her land. Gothic ignorenre now dwells on the ruins of oriental greatness. The i traveller pauses as he wndr ihroughalhe clysian I scenes of Greece, to muse upon the mutability of gran deur, and he views th j noiseless serpent, as it crawls over fragments of on •tent architecture. From her hundred towers, behold llom- waving I her sceptre over subjugated Greece. On toe banks of t lie almost fabled Tiber, see her in all her splendour. ’ She is the mighty mistress of the world, and on her j walls are waving the thtgsofall nations. Themigh | ty Hannibal lifted bis arm against her, but she crush ! ed it; and Carthage, in whose walls Queen Dido en j lertallied /Eheas. fell before her. Csesar then lived. ! His path was conquest, nd dreadful was the fate of | ,hat warrior who dared the vengeance of his arm. i But wherenow is Csesar 1 Ho is murdered, Where I is the rival Pompey, the hero of Pliarsalia 1 He is murdered. Wnerc is Cicero, whose thunders ofelo ! quince shook the. Forum, and struck terror to the hearts of tyrants 1 He is murdered. Where is Sen ; ,-c, and where is Cato 1 The one has fallen a victim , to a tyrant, and the other to himself, that he might ; escape the tottering ruins of his country. And migh i ty Rome, where is she ! She has tumbled over the pre- I cipice of faction, and is lost in tile whirlpool of anar chy. A barbarian torrent has overrun the blooming gardens of Italy,and the rtsl urms of the Goth and the Vandal have prostrated her forever The foot stepofCaisar has been .effaced from the soil of England • and Rome lias been a prey to the dreadful tiger of Corsica. France plunged in the labnrynth of n bloody revo lution, arrests the attention. Rehold that santeNa -1 poleon, who was once opposed to, but afterwards embraced the principles of Masonry, ns he rises like 1 a giant from his slumbers, and seats himself on the throne ofthe Bourbons. He arose— hp conquered— la flourished. H pointed the thtOderof his artillery !at Italy, and she fell before him. He levelled his i lightnings ut Spain, and she trembled to the, centre of | her throne,. He sounded the knell of vengeance on I the plains of Austerlitz, and all Eurojie was at his ] feet. He was greater than Ctesnr—he was (,-rv....er than Alexander. But where now is the French Emperor"! Where now is Napoleon Buonaparte"! Ho wears no longer the crown of the Bourbons. He has fallen from the throne of the Czars on which he seated himsrlfin Moscow. The tremendous military drama has closed, and tlie great tragedian has left the stage fore ver His race was short but it was glorious. It was like the brillianlstar that twinkles on the horizon for a moment, and disappears. The Lion of England has triumphed over the fallen Tiger ofCorsica, but his fame is immortal. Amid the ruinsof empires, we behold poor,unhap py Poland. She was divided, ami fought against herself. Sh has conquered her own empire, but she has not enjoyed the spoils. The Austrian, Russian, and Prussian standards arc waving above the walls iofWareo v. They have performed one ofthe moat : oapu:J djd that every r .me lowh frost the !wonb of itii- They have dismembered oho of the most pow. rl’ul kingdoms on earth, with the same facility that they would have divided the trophies of war. The sun of glory basset behind the hills of Poland, —forever a melancholy example of faction and anarchy. Poland, once powerful, is n kingdom no longer. Switzerland, whose Alpine scenery has and lighted mankind even in description, is but littl superior to Poland. The glory of William Tell has departed, and is no longer known but in tradi ] tion. Where now is the glory of Spain and her invinci ble armada, with which she attempted to conquer England 1 Where is Charles V. and where is Philip 11.1 Where isthe reeking hand of Alva and the bloody inquisition 1 Ye Gods! where now is the powerof Spain I Wealth has made her poor; and with her sister Portugal, she will ever remain con temptible. Spain has a name to live, but she is eter nally dead. The bigotted, tyrannical Ferdinand, once swayed her sceptre on tt throne of blood—yea, on a throne deluged with the tears and gore of un offending innocence. View the scroll of Masonry, and his name will be found written in human blood. Thus, from remote antiquity, through thes • coun tries, hath masonry kpptbcr march, unsubdued by the bigotry of ignorance Knd tyranny, but gathering strength amid the fait of kingdoms, and the ruin of empires. She hath passed through Spain, and her footsteps in blood are still visible on the strand from whence she embarked on the stormy sea. Chains and dungeons still a wait her followers who have lin gered on that despotic shore; and the rack and the wheel still stream with the blood of her illustrious sons. But the voice of tyranny hath died on the ocean breeze—it mingles not with the breath of the western wand. The Ark in safety hath landed fair Masonry on the shores of freedom, where the God dess of Liberty welcomed her to her gardens, and aided her in erecting her sublime temple. Climb to the summit of yon blue mountain, on which the grey clouds rest in majestic grandeur, and from thence survey the glittering spires and lofty fabrics of Masonry, which lift their heads to the heavens, and adorn the bsautifnl gardens of this modem Greece. How beautiful both the Genius of Masonry stand all lonely amid the sublimities and soli udes of the west ern wild, and views the great symbol of light, the sun, as he sinks in his flaming car into the watcless ocean of space. Her glorious march is now complet ed—she hath descended from the oriental ages and eastern nations, and hath disseminated her light in the west—that light must now shine until the end of time. Hand in hand with Liberty, slie now unfurls the white banner of peace and innocence, and estab- Tish_s the empire of Christian benevolence, where the Indian, in his idolatry, once bowed his knee to the setting sun, and offered up I.is human sacrifice to the Great Spirit of storms arid darkness. Aided by the light of Masonry, in conjunction with that of science, and all those brilliant luminaries which once allumi nated Greece and Rome, America will ere long es tonish mankind, and outstrip the world in the glori ous march of mind. £Cr*The proceedings of the Fourth Conven tion of the Merchants and others, held in Charleston, S.

He was a swindler ofthe first wa ter, and his operations were very extensive. His blow was aimed—not at those who were Apable of resisting the attack : not at those whose relations iu life would enable thorn to recover from a state of prostration. It fell upon the widow and the orphan:—the aged, feeble, and poor. It struck the siaffthut suppor ted the tottering steps of ago. It scattered the pittance that shelded the widow and the orphan from the tender mercies of a selfish world. Deprived the unsteady of an Incen tive to vfhuotis exertion, and drove them at randonfßf) l ’ ll the vice to perish amid the gttAn of dissipation. This, alas !is not an effort of fancy. The deluded creditors who crowd the court house, revealed facts which well might strike with sympathy the most cal lous. have become confirmed sots— utterly reckless of the world’s laws. One vv retched female become a confirmed maniac in consequence of being deprived of her little savings from years of toil. An aged veteran formerly a surgeon in the army—who had placed a small sum (a scanty accumulation for the close of life) in the Heal Estate Bank, the interest of which, with some other aid itc ex pected, would smooth his downward passage to the grave —alas! he slid, ‘ all is gone ! 1 am too old to work, and to beg I am ashamed, and I feel as ifdescrled almost by my Maker.” Virginia Elections. —The following results are obtained from the Richmond Whig, ofthe 3d instant.

Nkvv-Orleans, May 31. Important from Mexico —A friend, who arrived yesterday from Vera Cruz and Tampico, lias furnished us with the fol lowing information : Col. Bee, minister of Texas to Mexico had arrived at Vera Cruz, and applied to Gen. Victoria, then in command, for pei rnission to land, which the General refused to grant, on pain of immediate imprison ment. The Colonel was informed that he might stay on board of any vessel in the harbor. Col Bee replied that if he could not land, he would be compelled to throw himself on the hospitality of the French commander, then at Bacrificlos, which he accordingly did, and was received with marked kindness and distinction ; but be fore be could remove bis effects to the French commander’s ship he received a passport from Gen.

By the arrival of the Great Western, about one o’clock this morning, (Saturday) wc have our full files of Kugiiah papers to the 18ih of May, her day of suiting, and Purls dales to the lflili inclusive. The Great Western made the passage in 13 days. The position ofuffuirs in England is curious in the extreme. After the resignation of the Melbourne Ministry, the Queen sent for Sir Robert Peel and the Duke of Wellington; they consented to lake olliee, and did so; they then insisted upon the Queen dismissing all the Ladies of her household—she refused to do ibis; they then threatened to resign ; she told them they might, and they did; she then scut for Lord Melbourne and Lord John Rus sell, and they consented to take olliee itguin. Here is a list ofthe ladies whom she would not dismiss: The Dutches of Southerland, sister of Lord Morpeth—the Murreioness ofNornmnby, wife of the Secretary of the Colonies —Marchioness of Bredtilbanc, wife ofaWhig Marquis, made a Peer by the Whigs—Marchioness ofTavistock, wife ofthe eldest son Duke of Bedfold, and sister-in-law of Lord John Russell—the coun tess of /Aldington, sister of Lord Morpeth— Lady Porimuu, wife of u Whig Peer, made a Peer by the Melbourne Ministry—Lady Lit tleton, widow of a Whig Peer, and l iter of Earl Spencer—Countess of Cbarlemonl, wife of an Irish Radical Peer—Lady Gardner, daughter of a Whig Peer, and wifi; of a whig partizun—Lady C. Barrington, daughter of the Whig Earl Grey—Lady C. Copley, daughter ofthe Whig Earl of Yarborough, and wile of a Whig Baronet—and bail’ u dozen other ladies of the same stamp. Great excitement prevailed allovcr England. Large meetings wove held in all the princi pal towns, and they voted addresses thanking the Queen for s;.aiiding by the ladies of her household and dismissing the Tories. All de scriptions of business were dull, ml stocks down. Lord John Russell goes the upper house. Shaw Lefever is to be the new speaker; the Tories will support M;. Goulbourii; the ques tion was to be test’ .i on ihe 27th of May, after the adjournment, and if ihe Ton ies succeeded, Lord Melbourne intended to dissolve Parlia ment. It also said that Lord Brougham is to he taken into the new Cabinet, and placed at the. bead of u Board of Education. fsir Robert Peel formed his Cabinet of the following persons:— Duke of Wellington, President of the Council.

Mr. Golbourne, Homy Department. Sir Robert Peel, Chancellor Exchequer. INSURRECTION IN I’AIUS We have received by an extraordinary ex press .etters from our correspondent and the evening papers, dated Sunday eight, II o’clock announcing an insurrection in Furis. The folAving letter from our correspondent contain? a summary ofthe events known lo him up lo the dale of his letter: — p..i. Sunil mlu May M 11 n’cl'V’k, p. M. - This day, at Imif-pn# two o’clock, eommepcea mi entente, if not un insurrection, of u very serious nature. • At half-past two o’clock thia nftcnioo.i a number of men, amounting toatleast 2jj, sud denly made their appearance in the Kuc St. Denis. Their presence attracted a crowd oi idlers, and they were immediately joined by others of their own party, no uoubt; all oi them being, like them, dressed in blouses, with Casquclles (the ordinary apparel of work men.) They passed down the street rapidly, and halting before ihe house of Lepage, the gun-maker, which they attacked, unu, after some difficulty, forced un entrance into it, unu seized about one hundred and fifty muskets, and other fire arms, which they earned ott. They forthwith passed down mat street (the focus of all previous insurrections,) and rcucti ing the quays, divided. One party proceeded to the military post on the Quai auz Fleurs, adjoining the Palais de Justice, and culled on the troops to surrender. Without waiting tor a reply they fired a volley, which killed a very fine young man, the sentinel at the door, and wou dcit the officer in command, and a Ser jeant. The soldiers (principally conscripts) immediately surrendered, and were disarmed. These scenes had occupied scarcely un hour. The Municpal Guards were the first who ap proached the insurgents had fired on them. After a heavy fire, with but little mischief to either party, the latter gave way, and tell back on their central point already mentioned. There they must have received reinforcements or co-operation, for at eight o’clock same of them were air. ariy in the Cop St. Honroe and in the Rue Croix des Pens Champs, where two shots were fired; but although their object was unquestionably to have attacked the Lou vre in that quarter, they were deterred from it by the. closing of the gates, and the firm atti tude of the troops within.—(l ought, when speaking of ihe first movements of the insur gents, to have staled that they shot a National Guard, a printer by profession, at the Rue 11 ante ville. A woman also unfortunately fell there. It is needless to say that all the garrison is on foot. The National Guards also turned out numerously at the first beat of the rappel. Putroles of each arc passing every instant through the streets, and an occasional shot is heard, but no volleys or sound to indicate that a general attack is going on. The morning will be a terrible one, it is to be feared. You will not ask me, as I have asked a hun dred people, “What is all this! What is it about!” I am told that it is the outbreak of a regular republican conspiracy. That the disaffected have twenty six depotsofarms in several parts of the town, and that they are well organized and well prepared. That there has been, during a long time, a smouldering plot and determination to revolt, every body has heard. If this he the result of it, and no common incident could have sug gested such proceedings, we have some mel ancholy scenes in store for us. Thereisin the affair analarmingfeature. Six or eight regiments of the garrison are under orders for the departments, to be relieved by others on march for the metropolis. Rumor states that their removal is < wing to an intima tion received by government that they had been successfully tampered with. If this be true, there is but too much reason to expect that the insurgents will be joined by some of the soldiery. I forgot to say that no rallying cry was oris heard from the insurgents, but yells of the most savage and hellish character. Will you ffblievo it ? The mob nre told that the people of England and Ireland arc iu full revolt. In fine, the only thing clear is that wc are in insurrection. INTERNAL IMPROVEMENTS. Equal in importance tothccrvution of a suf ficient cupitul for carrying on the direct trade, is the lurnishiitg a .maskit for all the guuds that can be imported, -indeed it may be assu med as indispensable to our success, that Rail Roads, Canals and Turnpikes, must furnish the greut channels of communication, through which the goods brought into our ports, must find their way to the consumers in the interi or. Fortunately for our enterprize, the South ern and South-Western Slates, are now enga ged iu various schemes of improvement, all having in view the cxiensionof the connection between their commerci 1 cities and the in habitants of ihe interior. From Virginia to Florida inclusive, and from the Atlantic to the Mississippi and the Ohio, Rail-Roads are eve ry where in progress, which, when completed, I will afford the ready means of supplying our | whole Interior country with foreign goods in the shortest time, mid on the cheapest terms. By these several lines of communication, the country merchant will find a ready access to our ports, where he will he able to lay in his supples on at least as good terms as he cculd in New-York, in addition tothe saving of time and money, in avoiding the tedious and circu itous routes through which he now receives his supplies front that city. In the menu time and until these rail-road connexions can bo established, prompt measures should be adop ted, and especially by Rail-Road Companies, to establish lines of communication by wag ons, from the terminii of these Roads, to the points were a demand may exist for the goods so transported. In the “Address to the Citi zens ofthe United. States” issued by Ihe Con vention which, assembled in Augusta in Octo ber last, s'.iiiemcnts were submitted, which showed conclusively that the coast of impor tation from New-York to the interior towns of the Southern and South-Western States, great ly exceed what would be incurred on the im portation of similar goods through our own ports, when conveyed by Rail-Roads into thr interior, even ifeharged with the highest rales of transportation. Let us suppose that a merchant of Montgomery, Alabama, lays in a stock of goods iu New-York, to the value of SIO,OOO. The expense of placing these goods in his own store, will he about ns follows : Travelling expencesto and from New-Yorlt, and three weeks board in that eity, - - - - $350 00 Freight and Insurance to Mobile, 4 per cent. ---------- 400 00 ‘.Montgomery, and Comrr.missiona, 3 percent, - - - - 300 00 Exchange on 810,000 et customary rates 2 per cent. --------------- 200 00 Interest on 10,000 from the time of leaving home I ill the receipt of the goods, - - 133 00 61,383 00 Let us now suppose the Hail-Bonds in progress between Charleston and ,Savannah, & Montgomery, completed to the last named place ; and that the same merchant lays in un equal amount of goods in either of tnose cit ies. His cxpenccs would stand thus : Travelling lo and from, und 20days hoard, - -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- B’HK) 00 Freight per Rail-Road, of G,OOO lbs., the estimated weight of 610,000 worth of goods, ul 30 cents per 100 lbs. per 100 miles, 430 miles, - 135 00 Exchange on investment at 1 percent, - - - 100 00 Interest'* “ “ for3odnys,- -- - - 6G 00 Other incidental cxpences, --------- 50 00 sl3l 00 These estimates, which all will admit to be rea sonable, exhibit n saving by direct trade and Ra.l- Hoad transportation, of $931 34, upon an invest ment of SIO,OOO. Suppose the purchase made in A/obile, and tile dificteTiQe is stilt more striking. Freight and Insurance, Ate. etc., on SIO,OOO worth of goods from Mobile by river, 330 miles, --------- $l5O 00 Travelling expenses, &c., - iOO 00 $250 00 According lo the foregoing estimates, if wc com pute the amount of goods purchased yearly by Jla bamn, at $12,000,000* then the annual loss to that State, by indirect trade and lardy portage, amounts to at leust one million of dollars, exclusive of the im porter’s profits—probaly two millions more. The computation may be readily extended to the other Southern Stales ; and it will be found that their los ses full little short of $10,000,000 per annum.” From this statement it appears, that while the expenses now incurred on the im portation of $10.0.) J worth of goods from New- York into Montgomery, Alabama, amounted to $1383 the same amount of goods might be received by Rail-Roads through Charleston or Savannah, at a cost of $451, making a saving by means ofthe direct (ratio and Rail-Road transportation, ofso3l 34, upon un investment of $10,000; and if the purchase were made in Mobile, and the goods transported by the riv er, die difference would be still greater. The road front Montgomery to the big bend ofthe Ociriulgee,would save more than 100 miles of Rail Road transportation, compared with any other road, from the interior of Ala bama to the Atlantic. ~ Died, In Bryan county, on the 6th alt. of Scarlet Fever, Maria tim.eliw, and ‘tn t!t‘ 15th.
