We b lieve that we should have no difficulty iu making up iu the total cosmetic regimeut to five or six hun dred. And will the ladies believe us when we tell them, upon our honours and .veracities, that not one of the •whole of this preposterous collection (excepting one or two- p rnicious mineral compounds) is of the slight est possible use; of any more use, that is, than simple soap or water. No, certainly, they will not. Never will woman believe any thing when h.er vanity is engaged on the other side. Nothing, however, is more true. With except ions scarcely worth notic „,,t vrnu-lh rwilir.injT for our purpose, every soap, every soap at least used on the person, is the same substjince, the same chemical com pound, with the same precise effects on the skin; the only difference among them being those to the eye and to the smell; colour, form, and perfume. These colours and perfumes cost money, as they ought; but as to their fancy prices, beyond th ir real value, this is a matter of conscience on the one hand, and folly on the other. It is indifferent whether the soap be made from vegetable oil or animal tallow; for, in the state of soap, all oils are equal. All soaps are equqjly cos metic, be the name, be the smell, the price, the colour, what they may; liquid or solid, virgin’s milk, milk of roses, Bandana, or jesniinc. Cleanliness is the true cosmetic; and it is th- cosmetic, or the cleani her; nothing more. You cannot al ter the colour of your skins, for na ture has placed her laws here against you, but you may scrub and scour oft th d;ri, which we strongly advise you to do whenever it is necessary. Thus you will be cleaned and cos rneiiied ; and having done this, it*is no matter to you h w soon'Messrs. Hailey and Blew are blown up or blown down. Wash your faces, dears; that is all; and if water will not make'them dean, use soap, and choose the ©ne that gratifies your nose most ; that is all. As soon as the dirt is off you arc as beautiful, precisely, as nature —and your sweet tempers—choose: and all else is hopeless toil; hopeless as bleaching a blackamoor, though you were to labor on all th milks and soap that have been created from the days of Judith or Faustina, down to those ofDei Croix These are sad vulgar truths ; yet, alas !no less true. The thing is im possible; be content : and as you can as little add one tint to your complex ion as one inch to your statures, with out paint or without high heels, do what you can to apply the cosmetics to your minds—as you have been oi ten tol.l how. That is the true art of beauty. A gentle soul and a sweet t mper. intellect and virtue, these are the comestics which will take out all yflur frecki Is and smooth all your wrinkles, which will render ou beautiful e ven above your beauty, and beautiful even through your plain ness. Most seriously is this all fact, as to every soap, as to every.cosmetic in this class. With respect to the rest, there is but one simple principle ; with respect at least, to those in com mon use. Almond paste meal may be taken as standing for the whol of these, and they are hut oils. The natural oil of the skin is removed by soap; and t his process is neces sary whenever foreign matter, soot is no comestic like warm water— warm, hot not cold. But. to remove this natural oil too effectually or too often, is sometimes injurious, as it is this which renders the skin soft; while there are some persons in whffm, naturally, it is deficient. Here, the extieme use of soap is injurious, and oil becomes necessary. It is a cosmetic, however, incapable of changing or bettering th colour of the skin. All that it can do is, t& prevent harshness, and, of course, when this extreme, pro ducing scaling, it diminishes or re moves that tendency Such is the us of oily substances; and they are ail equal whether it be almonds or pomatums, or aught else. Os the propriety or utility of their application, it must he for the owner of the skin to judge’; as with the principles already laid down, he may judge of all other cosmetics, instead of using them merely from their names, and without being aw ire of their pecular action. Bui there is one other u,se in the oils, of which the cosmetic mongers are ignorant, and which it is our duty to the lovely sexto detail, hoping that they will profit more, maids and all, by our commentary than by the gen tleman’s seven s tiling hook. The previous application of them entirely prevents the action of the sun o the skin, in as far at least as that pro duces blistering, and is also very conducive to the prevention of frec kles and sun-burning.—Hence, ladies when you attend reviews, or go on the water, in boats, or pick cockle-shells on Margate sands, we advise you to oil your sweet laces, or put on your almond pastes, instead of waiting till the mischief is done, when the cure, though it is still a sort of cure, comes somewhat too late. Pimples. —lt is all, generally at least, but a minor degree of that dangerous and often fatal eruption, [pimples] which proceeds rom drink ing cold water when heated, and which has so often been the "cause of death to boys at cricket and to soldiers on a march. Balls and ices, ! ’<vU ~n r i first a waltz, and then a giass of cold water, coin lemonade, or cold ice, such is the cause, though the icc is the least pernicious of the whole, because it requires some time to swallow, and cannot therefore make the sudden impression on the stomach which a cold fluid quickly swallowed does. If you cannot restrain your love ol dancing, dear ladies, learn at least to restrain your appetites. It is not pretty to be gobbling ice, and swil ling lemonade at every moment, as it you came, to use the vulgar phrase, for the sake of what you can get, as il you were not allowed ices by youi papas and mammas, and were re solved to make up for it,like Dioge nes at your entertainer’s expence. Look at us, dears, we are not always gormandizing at balls, pushing for the b st places at supper, greasing ourselvej in* contests for dirty chick ens, plaguing our neighoburs to gel us this and the other, as if we came lor the purpose of eating and drink ing. Indeed, dears, you are not pret ty-behaved, at all; and you cannot conceive what unhappy impressions you make on us, and on your lovers. You have lost many a lover by your cruel appetites; upon our honour-,' we assure you it is true: and many a good settlement, moreover.—Posi tively you have lost settlements— settlements —think of that. Western Steam Boats. The people on the western waters have arrived at a degree of perfection in the con struction of steam boats, entirely beyond what could have been con templated on the first introduction ofithem on those rivers From tUi' Cincinnati Emporium we learn, that the steam boat Philadelphia, recem ly built there, measures nearly 400 tons, is of a handsome model, and her engiue the most powerful one in the United States. She has seven hol lers, with every convenience for safety and expedition ; is lot) led long on deck, Forty feet wide, ha a cabin GO feet long and 30 wide, with single and family or double state rooms, with tapestry, cushions, and elegancies, with conveniences such as says the Emporium, “ we have never noticed before in any boat, either iu Europe or America. Under the large and splendid cabin is a superb ladies’ cabin, richly lur nished, and possessing those accom modations which contribute so much to the comfort of ladies when trav tiiug for health or pleasure, On the deck, are 84 double births, ma king lodgings for IGB persons, beside which, there are many state rooms with two births in each, with every other appendage, essential for the comfort of those whose limited mean prevent them from taking a cabal Hue tibieruntarics, pitisque ir.iponerv ninrem, n Tree re subjeetis ct debeilire superbos.—Virgil.

She left that city on the 11th inst. with near 300 tons freight. RAIL ROAD. It affords us great pleasure to an nounce that the bill to incorporate the Mohawk and Hudson Rail Road Company, has passed the third read ing in the Senate, and only awaits the signature of the Governor to be come a'iaw. From the known char acter and high standing of those who have embarked in this project there is no necessity to assure the public, that it will be prosecuted with vigor and he speedily carried Into effect. The Rail Roads is to extend from this city to Schenectady ; and from the Immense pressure of business on the canal between these two points, there cannot be a doubt but that it will be of great public utility, and produce a profitable income to the stockholders. Id addition to all o ther considerations, it is a source of no little pride to us, that in New- York the first attempt is to be made toward internal improvement hv this means as well as by canals.

Twenty years ago, and even less, the idea of building a sea vessel in that remote section of the union would have been received as the airy dreams ofa bewildered fan cy—yet, the enterprize ofthe Amer ican character, under the happy in fluence of our republican institutions presents us at (his day with the stubborn fact, and leaves the ima gination completely at a loss to cal culate the pfobable state of improve ment in Ihis country, in half a cen ,ury from this period. Protection. The ship Cayne is off the coast of Brazil—the sloop Bos ton has just sailed to join her—the ioop Lexington will follow, and a frigate will be speedily despatched, th whole under the command of capt. Biddlq, ior the protection oj the commerce of the United States, in con sequence ofthe war between Brazil and Buenos Ayres. This squadron will cost the peo ple oi the United States several hun dred thousand dollars—a greater a mount in money than is paid by them n»r the encouragement and protec tion of every other branch of the na tional industry, “ tariff and all:” but no one objects so it; and the mer cnants and ship owners, in respect to this matter, do not say “ let us a lone. ” How great is the difference netween mine and thine ! How right and proper is it that money vested in ships and labor employed in navi gating them, should be protected, and tiow oppressive is it that capital vested in nulls and persons subsis ted by their labor m them, should be encouraged ! It is. constitutional to ucieud property at the cannon's mouth, on the high seas—but uncon stitutional to protect property oj> the land within our own limits! Fisher men too may have bounties and pre miums—but farmers and wool grow ers, spinners and weavers, may not receive either.— Aile’s Jieg. The Ban rupt Bill. —The frieuds of‘his measure will b cheered by the decision in the Senate yesterday. After what was said on this occasion, it is fair to presume, that the large vote against the indelimte postpone ment of he bill, indicates a decided majority in the Senate in favor of a general Bankrupt Law. With such a disposition evinced in that body, we do not despair of seeing the sys tem yet matured and consummated during the present session. The late rule adopted in the Sen ate, oil the motion of Mr. Benton, ol devoting tin three first Hours ol each day to business, (deferring the debateabic subjectsto the afternoon,) and w ill continue so greatly to facili tate the transaction of business, that want of time, will, in a degree, cease to be urged for the postponement of important subjects. The* furth r change, suggested by Mr. Benton yesterday, iu the rules of proceed ing in the Senate, has been found so advantageous, during an experience of several years past, in the House ol Representatives, that we are some w’hat surprised it has not been earlier suggested in the Senate. The House of Representatives has disagreed, by a large majority, to the Senate’s amendment to the Judiciary BUI. Whether either of the two bodies will yit!£ ft, point, aud, if either, which of them, are questions that com.ot be answered w ith confi dence ; but we incline to the opinion, that th hill will not be lost by the adherence of each House to the ground it has -taken Some change is so imperiously required, that it will probably be found, in the end, to be the opinion of a majority in both Houses, that no change ofthe system can well be for the worse. Nat. Int. From the National Journal. Few- occurrences have transpired if any since the formation of this Gov ernment, which looked, in our ap proach to them, 10 he so full of fear ful, or at least of embarrassing conse quences. as those which had connex ion with the rec -qt Creek controversy and which is now so happily adjusted. The Executive had, it must be con fessed, a delicate and highly respon sible task to execute ; and a task the execution of which required b th wisdom and firmness, and without the exercise of both, the most em barrassi g consequences must hav followed. The public tranquilit-, to say the least of it. was certainly menaced at home ; 'whilst those o other countries and of other kind' of governments, looked to the occur renc , and hailed it as a symptom of our approaching dissolution. To; m et such a crisis, and to pass it as has been done, is alike demonstra tive of the firmness of our republi - lob, ~, -jnd ofthe wisdom of the Executive to whom the administra tion of our government is entrus ted. W are out of the controversy unhurt, and in a way highly hon orable to the government ;and which is no less gratifying to the friends of harmony at home, than to the advo cates of liberty and republican gov ernment all over the world- Whilst the Executive is entitled to the thanks an lasting gratitude of the country, for its proceedings m this very delicate and responsible controversy, it js especially due to ttie Secratary of Y\ r ar, on whoirf, from his official relation to the sub ject, the burden of it ro.-ted, as did t o negotiations which led to its set tlement, to award to him a large share of the praise which is due on so happy a termination of it; and al though others may have contributed their aid in effecting this result, they have moved merely in co-operation with the views of ttie Secratary, and in accordance with his advice. % LITTLE TURTLE TO THE DELAWARES. Brothers. —Listen—The spirit ot a warriour speaks.—He calls on you to hear. Let his voice remain—lt is the voice of truth. Listen. Our father over the big water told us he would take care of hi© r and children. We believed him, and he deceived us. Ho sent us his red coats, and they gave us fire to drink. The red men drank the fire. It made.Us women, and we forgot the war-hoop and lost our path iu the forest. We could n \er after follow the trail of the enemy. The Whiteskins came and gave us more fire to drink. We smoked with the Whiteskins, and drank their fire. They drove away the deer and the buffalo, and then wanted our lands. We gave them our hunting grounds, and retired to our wigwams; but the whiteskins wanted our w igwams, and would not let us live in peace. The chief of the red coats promised to protect us and our lands. We raised the war-hoop upon the whiteskins ; but we were women, and could not tight their longknives. The red coats came to assist us, and we smoked with the red coats, They went out to fight the longknives of the white skins, and were beat n—They run away and left us—We saw no more 01 the red coats.

Do not trust the men at the big house. They will cheat you of your lands, as - they cheated the whiteskins of their chief.—The men at the big house are not friends ofthe red men.

Brothers —Listen—The warrior of the big-mouths, who slew the red roats at Orleans, is your father. He is the chief of the whiteskins, and will soon be at the big-house aver the mountains. He is the friend ofthe red men, and will not deceive you. His talk is truth ; and he w ill pr tect you in your lands, and will not let the whiteskins cheat you. His path is straight. CREEK TREATY. Department OF War, i Jan. 25, 182 G. \ Sir —ln execution of the power which you conferred upon me to ne gotiate with the Creek tribe of In dians, represented in this city by their principal chiefs, clothed with full powers, by the nation fully assem bled m council and, if possible to obtain such ail arrangement as would j ut an end to the Serious difficulties growing out of the treaty of the In dian Springs, ot February last, 1 pro ceeded immediately on receiving your instructions to that effect, to convene the delegation in this office, believ ing that a less restrained intercoms oi views would thereby be effected, than in a written correspondence, and the result more propitious to your wishes. From information pre viously received from Gen. Gaines, it was believed tjiat their acquie scence in the treaty negotiated at' tW^lndian Springs, was utterly unat tainable. But that their consent to the relinquishment of their lands, within the state of Georgia, might be effected on reasonable terms. To that end, after perceiving the entire inutility of pressing them to an ac quiescence m the treaty of the In dian Springs, I directed my efforts, confidently anticipating, from the iiT forrration above r ferred to, imme diate success To tny surprise, and certainly, very much to my regret, icciing as 1 did, the utmost anxiety that such an arrangement should be made, and k owing that nothing could bo more acceptable to your self, 1 found them determined to sur- render their lands only to the east ol (Jhatahoochie. Evc/y effort was made, which propriety would per mit, to induce them to meet your wishes. Lest, from ignorance of their character, I should fail in ap proaching them in some way acces sible to one familiar with their mo tives of action, 1 jivailed myself of the aid of a disinterested citizen, whose intercourse with the inhabitants ol the forests, gave him the desired qualifications; and if success had been attainable, lie must have suc ceeded. He entered into my views with alacrity, and pursued the object with a patience and assiduity which has entitled him to my thanks. Ev ery, effort, however, was fruitless. The Chatahoochie, as forming a na tural boundary, was a sine qua non. Indeed,sucha boundary seemed with them of more consequence than the land which was involved in the con test. —Thyv coiltmually urged, that an artificial line was no security with the untutored Indian against those trespasses which the conterminous whites perpetrated upon them. And candor has forced the acknowledge ment from those expert need indite [OR $4 IF NOT PAID IN SIX'MONTHS. Number 22, Vol. 1 in their solicitude for a natural lioufT dart. Finding them pertianacious in adhering to this line, which, is es tablished, would still leave a small portion of land within the limits ot Georgia, to gratify whose wishes, if. practicable, had been a leading mo tive with you in whatever connected itself with the subject, 1 had deter mined to put an end to the negotia tion. In reflecting, however, on the posture of things, in that event, and % t he consequences w hich might ensue, and believing that an amicable ar rangement of this controversy- was alike called for -by the wishes ot American People, and the interests ot those unfortunate Peopl«, I proposed to them, after having obtained your consent, a line of compromise, and finally agreed to that which is insert ed in the trqptv, which 1 herewith enclose ; and which according to the map on which I treated, will have acquired for Georgia some four or five hundred thousand acres of land YVest of the Chatahoocliie, and with the lands on the E ast side ot the Chatuhoochic, making, it is believed nearly three millions of acres, which Georgia acquires by the treaty ; and i leaving within the limits of Georgia, a small fraction of land, belonging to the Creeks, not equal, perhaps, to one-tenth ofthe part coded. In ar ranging the details, great difficulty occurred. I found tlie delegation invincibly opposed to taking any land to the west of the Mississippi. In consequence, the pecuniary consid eration was obliged to be increased, to an amount, however, comparative ly small in respect to the land which must have been given according to the scale heretofore adopted, aero for acre. To the intrinsic difficulty arising from the negotiation, others, of no small magnitude, were added. The Delegation ofthe major part of the Creek nation peremptorily refus eq to enter into a treaty in common with the Delegation ofthe minor,or Mclntosh Party. To provide for ttie latter, on liberal principles, was an indispensable condition from which nothing would have justifi and me in departing. To obviate this dificul ty, 1 ascertained from each party what would be satisfactory, and in corporated the whole in the treaty which was to be signed exclusively by the Delegation of t|ie majority. The treaty was prepared on these data, and signed by the Delegation of the major party. Out of abun dant caution, 1 designed to obtain the signature of the Delegation of the minor party to a papef to accompa ny the treaty, expressing their entire satisfaction with the arrangement- After the treaty had been executed, and intimation made to the minor party of the above wish, they de clined complying therewith, unless a new provision should be made in th> ir favor, namely, that of the value of their improvements within the territory retained by the Indians,, which, being unreasonable, was re fused. This, however, has no bear ing on the validity of the treaty. Their number, according to a census taken by Gen. Gancs, is very small, not above one fortieth of the nation. They themselves stated the number it sixteen hundred, at the opening ofthe conferrence with them. They suppose now that ftiree thousand may be induced to enug. .te. What ever the number may be, there is n© difficulty in saying, that the treaty lias bccifmadc w it present a tivesofa vast nation; and I think, on refcisnSUo the con ditions ofthe treaty, it will be four!cl ihat ample justice has been done the smaller party. Respectfully submitted. JAMES BARBOUR. The President of the U. States. THE CREEK INDIANS. Saturday, April 22. In Senate, Mr. Berrien submitted a resolution, to in>truct the Com mittee on Indian Affairs to report a bill to make provision for the further relief of the *on and other followers of the late chieftain YVYlliam Mcln tosh, and to provide fqr their emi gration west of the Mississippi. [The resolution went much into detail, directing what items should be mbraced by the bill—how much money, ho*w much of all the articles requisite for the emigrating party, how it should be ascertained who of them were willing to emigrate, &c.] Mr. Branch moved to lay the reso lution on the table, as thfe hour had arrived for the consideration of the special orders of the day; but with drew bis motion at the request of Mr. Berrien, who said, if it was con templated to act effectually anil de tiuitively on this resolution, delay must be avoided; he believed lie was not out of order, in saying, as the injunction of secrecy hail been taken off the Creek Treaty, thaHliis -» t°— ‘■A,.
