THE LITTLE SHROUD. She put on a.snow white shroud, A chaplet on his head; And gathered early primroses Toscatter o’er the dead. She laid him in his little grave (’Twas hard to lay him there,) When spring was putting foi th its Howers, And every thing was lair. She had lost many children —now The last of them was gone: And day and night she sat and wept Beside the funeral stone. One midnight, while her constant tears Were falling with the dew, She heard a voice, and to ! her child Stood by her weeping too. His shroud was damp, his face was white, j Hesaid, “I cannot sleep, Your tears have made my shroud so wet Oh I mother, do not weep I” O, love is strong—the mother’s heart Was filled with tender fears; O, love is strong —and for her child Her grief restrained its tears. One eve a light shone round her bed, And there she saw him stand— Her infant, in his little shroud, A taper in his hand. “Lo mother, see my shroud is dry, And 1 can sleep once more And beautiful the patting smile The little infant wore. And down within the silent grave He laid his weary head ; And soon the early violets Grew o’er his grassy bed. The mother went her household ways — Again she knelt in piayei ; And only asked of heaven its aid Her heavy lot to bear. ■—XC— JI.TOW ■W-WHJE— Fiddling lo the Same Tone.— A gen tleman put up at a country tavern, where it is common, in cases of emergency, to £ut two in a bed. He retired to rest; but e had not lain long, before he heard the landlord, followed by a guest, stumping aioog towards his room. “Confound the feilow!” said he to himself, “1 hope he’s not goingto thrust another man into my bed. I’d as soon sleep with the devil as with one of my own sex. It’s unnatural; and then who knows but what he will give me some terrible disease—the small pox the measles orthe Scotch fiddle! Hal that reminds me now of what I will do io get rid ofihe fellow.” All this passed rapidly through hismind and by the time the landlord opened the door, he was sitting up in his bed, as ifjust awakened from his sleep, and industri ously drawing the nails of one hand over the back and between the fingers of the other, besides eagerly scratching other places. “Landlord,” said he, “what’s all this for! Why do you come and disturb me after I was fairly asleep? O, what ft comfortable dream I had! [ thought I was swimming in a river of brimstone— and it did feel so good.” “Wakeup-wakeup”—said the land lord—“why you must be dreaming still -—wake up, and lie over to the other side ofihe bed. I’ve got a companion here for you—a bed fellow.” “The devil! You wouldn’t think I hope—that is—” “Don’t make yourself uneasy, sir. All the rest ol my beds have two persons a piece, and your s must have the same— j so hitch, either one way or the other, ana make room for this gentleman.” “Well, if you insist upon it, I’ve noth ing more tosay. It’s noton my own ac count that I care any thing about it; but the truth is—(scratching more zealously than ever) —“between you and me and this gentleman, I’ve got the itch—and I wound’t wish that any body else ’ Hoot! hoot, mon!” said the stranger, who happened to be a Scotchman, “ye eneed mak sae muchkle to do about it, for I’ve got the same complaint myself,’ and Weel baith feeddie to the s/tw tune. “The devil you have!” exclaimed the other. But there was no use in saying a word more. He was caught. The stran ger really had the disease, while he had only feigned it; and for sometime after wards, instead of scratching gratis, he had something io scratch ior.— N. Y. Traj&- eript. THE AMCIENT DOMINION. The following article connected with the origin of this term as applicable to Virginia, is taken From the Washington, Pa. Reporter, A copper coin was recently dug up in a garden in this place which bears a curi Aus relation to a part of our American his lory. It has on one side a head of George the HI, and the words ‘'Georgius Hl jßex” around the edge. On the opposite aide, are represented the coats of arms of England, Scotland, Ireland, and Virgin is quartered; on.the edge are the word & .figures “Virginia 1773.” The following historical factsare here distinctly referred. During the usurpa tion of Cromwell, the colony of Virginia eluded to acknowledge his authority, and declared itself independent. Shortly af ter finding that Cromwell threatened to send a fleet and army to reduce Virginia to subjection; and fearing the ability of. this feeble state to withstand his force, she sent over, in a small snip’s messenger to Charles 11, then an exile at Breda, in Flanders. Charles accepted the invita tion to come over and be King of Virgin ia and was on the point ofembarking for Virginia, when he was recalled lo the throneolEngland. As soon as he was resto edto the crown of England,in gratitude for the loyalty of Virginia he caused her coat ofarmsto be quartered with those ofEng land, Scotland and Ireland, as an indepen dent member ofihe empire. The above 1 coin is clearly confirmatory of these facts ■ Hence the origin of the phrase “Old Do-j minion” frequently applied to Virgin-, ia.— From the N. Y. Commercial Advertiser. FROM FRANCE. Very late and Important News. Two arrivals from France since our last publication,have brought important in telligence from that country, but still most j vexatiously leaving us nearly as much > involved in doubt and perplexity as to the | state of the questions, pending between I France and the United States, as we were before. The arrivals to which we refer, are the Sully Capt. Forbes, from Havre whence she sailed on the 18th of January and the French brig of war D’ Assas, Capt t Daguenet from Brest, whence she sailed ou the 20th. The Sully brings our Par is papers to the 17th January, inclusive. The national vessel brings no papers, but came with despatches for the French Min ister M. Surrurier, with an order for his recall. This latter circumstance, of itself looks unfavorablyjbut taken in connexion with the intelligence by the Sully—upon the supposition that nothing of importance had occurred in Paris, between, between the date of our latest papers, (the 17th) and the sailing of the D’Assas, on the 20th —we argue that the state ofthings is e ven more pacific than the advices of Thursday. In the first place true to his engage ments, the King of the French caused the indemnity Bill to be introduced into the Chamber of Deputies on the 15th—the day on which the Government had prom ised to bring it forward in the official note published in the Moniteur There seernsto have been a misunderstanding both in Paris and London, that the bill was to have been submitted to the Chambers on the 14th—and as it was not introduced on that day, unfavorable auguries were indulged But this was a mistake. The 18th was the day intended, and on that day it was introduced: Beyond all doubt moreover, it has been introduced in good faith. Nothing can be more obvious than this fact, from the frank and manly speech of the Minister ofFinance, M. Humann, a full translation of which will be found below. In the next place, it is evident from the tone and complexion of the papers, that the French people are utterly averse to a war with the United States. But further than this, the report that Mr. Livingston was breaking np his establishment at the Hotel of the American Embassy.prepara tory lo his departure from the French cap ital, is authoratively contradicted, and it is possitively asserted, that, notwithstand ing the notification in the Moniteur, the, American Minister had no intention of demanding his passports. A third favorable symptom in the pres ent accounts is a statement put forth in one oftheParis Journals;The Tributejthat the French Government was at least not sorry at the opportunity presented of re- ‘ calling M. Surrurier, who has given much cause of dissatisfaction. It appears from the statement of the Tribune,” that previ- j ous to the debates in the Chamber on the twenty five millions, he wrote to the King , that the difference might be settled for twelve million francs; and it is believed' that a copy oi this despatch, being com municated to several influencial members of tho Centre by the friends of M. Serru rier, contributed in no small degree to the rejection of the demand for the twenty five million francs. From this moment the disgrace of the French Minister to the United States was resolved on; but it could not be decided upon for fear of di vulging the motives.” It is added, that after the final ad justment of the question ' M. Surrurier, will not return as Minister to the United States. A circumstance has transpired in this city this morning. i which corroborates this statement. One ; of the officers of the D’Assashas spoken of M. Surrurier as a Minister in his fav or, and it is said not to be the intention of the Government that he should return in this vessel. With these preliminary explanations, we submit the following account of the proceedings of Deputies on the introduc tion of the Bill for the fulfilment of the 1 treaty stipulations of July 4, 1831- Translated for the Com. Adv. CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES. Sitting on the loth January. 1 he order of the day was the commu nication ol the Government, announced yesterday in the Monituer. Before the o pening of the session, fixed for J o’clock, Marshall Morfier, President of the Coun cil, and M. Humann, were in the Minis ter ial seat, and a number es Deputies were present. M. Dupin took the Chair at 1 o’clock. After the reading of the pro cess verbal, M..M, Simperne, Nicod and Blanchard, recently elected Deputies, de livered ,the ratification of their powers and were admitted to their seats—at this time the attendance was exceedingly numer ous. The President gave the word to the Min ister ofFinance. A profound silence im mediately ensued. M. Humann.—Gentlemen: Faithful to the accomplishment of its duty, the Gov ernment was disposed to submit anew to your deliberations the measure necessary for the ex' cution ofihe treaty c :Lh of Ju- ly, 1831. It had prepared itself to de fend them in the name ofjustice and in < the name ofthe political and commercial interests of France,& it is hopedthat you I would participate in the conviction upon which they acted. The message ofthe President of the United States at the opening of the Am erican Congress, has suspended the ex ecution of this design. The Government, had from that moment, to examine wheth I er it remained under the empire of the J same duty,whether the dignity olFrance I did not demand a different line of con- I duct —or, finally, whether there existed any means of placing the immutable laws of justice in accordance with the legiti mate sentiment ofthe national honor. The Government ofthe King, gentle-1 men, need not justify itself before you from the reproaches which the Presi dent ofthe United States has lavished up on it. Such a controversy would be ’ alike without object, and without dignity. , Nevertheless, in the debates which must I ensue before you, all the necessary ex i planations will be given; and all the do i cuments which will be required will be ' submitted to the Chamber. ; General Jackson lias been misinform ; ed as to the extent of the powers which ; the Constitution of the State confers upon jus. But if he is mistaken with regard to i the laws of our country, we will not run into a similar error on the subject of the Constitution of America. The spirit and letter of that Constitu tion, alike forbid us to view the document to which I have referred, in any other light than as the opinion of a single individual, so long as that opinion has not received the sanction of the two co-ordinate pow ers of the American Union. The Mes sage is an act of Government as yet in i complete, and which cannot, therefore, hurry us to any of those determinations by which France usually replies to a menace or an injury. Gentlemen, we might wait until; the resolutions of Congress should arrive to prescribe to us our conduct. But a tem porizing policy, would neither have the advantage of ensuring the security of our commeecial relation of reprisals. By the adoption, likewise, of such a system, the two governments would be compelled to wait mutually, (upon the proceedings of each other,) and from the great distance by which they are seperated, the legisla tive sessions, both at Washington and Paris, would probably terminate, leaving this important question not only undeci ded, but irritated by fresh delays In this state of things, the government has rejected a temporizing system. The question of the national dignity has a right to its first solicitude. You are aware, gentlemen, how it has been provi ded for, yet as the treaty of July has be come neither less jsut nor less politic than before,—as the proceeding of the President ofthe United States has not a vailed lo weaken the basis of equity and reason, on which the transaction rests,in the government has persevered in its de termination to present the subject anew to your examination. This engagement has been made; the honor of France de mands that it should be fulfilled. In this important deliberation, the Chamber, we doubt not, while watching vigilantly with us over the dignity, will keep in mind all the sentiments of good will and friendship which for sixty years ! have united the French and American nations. 1 will recall lo my mind those high considerations of commercial pow er, and of maritime force which have cau sed our alliance with the United StStes to be regarded as one of the unalterable rules of our national policy. In holding this language, we only wish 1 to render homage to those truths which are of every time-to oppose them to tem i poary impressions—and, above all, to de • clare, that France imputes, neither to the ' people nor the government of the United States, the sentiments and the propositions 1 which their President has expressed. 1 We only wish to see in his message to j Congress, the inconsiderate act (I’actc pn I reflecei) of an isolated power; and the na tional honor does not the less command us to persist in the policy which always have been that of the King’s goverment ■ —the policy of good faiih. Gentlemen —You will scrupulously weigh the motives which solicit the adop iion ofthe treaty. It will be required of you, above all other things that, in ex i amining this question, you will divest you ’ minds, as we have done, of every consid eration unconnected with the subject it self. In other words, unconnected with j the right and justice of the claims, and 1 with the compensation we should offer j for the commercial advantages which the I treaty guarantees to France. Impressed with these considerations, gentlemen, the government make me its organ of again laying before you the pro ject of the law which I shall now have the honor of reading to you. It has been judged necessary to insert an eventual clause, of which, without doubt, you will acquiesce in the propriety This clause forbids the payment to be made on the sum fixed by the treaty, untill the intention of the American Govern ment shall be made known. It is our right, and our duty, gentlemen, to render that government responsible for every act which may tend to wound the dignity and the interests of France. The following are the provisions of the project of the law. Art. 1. The Minister of Finance is authorized to carry to the Budget of each ofthe years 1836, 1837, 1838, 1839,1840, 1841 the sum requisite to pay off in six equal terms the capital of 25,000,000 fr. which are due in execution ofthe treaty sigued on the 4th of July, 1831, between France am’ the United States, and the ratifications of which were exchanged at; Washington, on the 2d of February. Art. 2. The sum of 1,500,000 francs I which the Goverment ofthe United States engaged to yay to France in six annual instalments in discharge ofthe claims of the French citizens, shall be credited to a special article ofthe Budget as the recov eries are made. Credits to a similar a mount shall be opened to the Minister of the Finances for the discharge of the claims that may have been liquidated in favor ofthe French citizens. Art. 3. The payments to be made on the sum of 25,000,000 francs shall not be carried into effect till it shall have been ascertained that the Government ofthe United States has adopted no measures in jurious to the French interests. The question was then proposed to the Minister, that this project of law should be printed aud distributed, and the day for discssuion ultimately fixed. The impression which we have fur ther derived from the speech of Mr, Hu man, as to the course intended te be pur sued by the King’s Government, are these Irrespective of what they deem an insuit to their Sovereign, they determined to sus tain their own honor, by introducing the bill punctually at the time promised. They have done so—and there they will probably leave the matter untill they hear what course shall have been adopted by the two Houses of Congress—for the French Minister draws the very just dis tinction which exists in the Constitution ofthe United States, that the President of the United States, is not the government ofthe United States. But. not to digress from the subject—it is hardly to be sup posed that the bill bad been called up a gain and rejected, between the 17th and 20th of January; and therefore the D’As sas can scarcely havelrcught any news changing the aspect of the question as it stood on the seventeenth; and we believe it will be kept in that position, until the Report of Mr. Clay, and the unanimous resolution of the Senate, disapproving of the President’s recommendations, shall have been received in France. They will then perceive at once that they have put the right construction upon the objection able passage of the Message—and that ti was in fact the language of the President and not of the Government—and therefore that no good reason exists for delaying further action upon lhe Bill granting the indemnity. Such briefly, are our impression under the aspect of the case presented to-day; and there is only one circumstance now occurring to us whtch may yet frustrate a consummation so devotedly to be wish ed.We refer to the last published extracts from Mr. Livignston’s correspondence, regarding these communications as very undiplomatic and indiscreet, we greatly fear that should they reach the French Capital before the final adjustment of the question,their first effect would be thrown every thing again to the winds, and com pelhisown departure from the kingdom. Meanwhile we hope for the best. The Superior Court ofWikes County adjourned on Friday last, after transac ting much business of considerable im portance and of necessity laying over some, untill the ensuing t«rm. It gives us pleasure to state thst His Honor Judge Harris, who has never before in this cir cuit officiated in a judicial capacity, fully sustained the reputation his friend had claimed for him as a Jurist, an impartial administrator of justice, and expounder of the laws; and that his political enemies, who have been wont to speak of him as destitute es the qualifications requisite for the high station he occupies, have not been tardy in confessing their disappoint ment, and acknowledging their mistake. This is as it should be; we hold it is as true, that whenever one is convinced of er ror, it betrays no weakness or imbecility to confess, and endeavour to rectify the same.— Southern Spy. Like and Dislike.—An old Connecti cut parson, whose peculiarities of preach ing were proverbial, was one day by a J parishioner told, that he did’nt like his 1 sermons—“ Well” said the old man, “I don’t wonder at it, I don’t like e’m my self.” It is also related of him, that be ing one day pursued by some impudent rogues, who cried after him, Parson M. —Parson M—did you know the devil was dead?—he turned round and shook his grey head, and spread his hands over them, saying in tones of compassion, “poor fatherless children!” As it is possible that Congress may deem it necessary, before the close ofthe session, to frame a law bearing on the commerce with France, a brief statement ofthe present amount in a few leading ar ticles, may now suitably claim our atten tion. The Cotton exported to that coun try in 1829, amounted to $6,800,000, and in 1833 to 2,000,000 more. The imports of silk in 1829 amounted to $4,365,500; of Cotton and Woolen piece goods to up wards ofa million; and of Wine and Brandy to upwadds of a million. In 1833, the import of Silk had increased nearly 50 per cent on the above amount of Wool en.and Colton goods upwards of 80 per cent; and of Wines and Brandy about 7 1-2 per cent. The total imports in 1833 exceeded those of 1829 by 66 per cent. Such are lhe results of an examination we have made into the official accounts ofthe two countries; and though they may not be exact, they will, doubtless be found sufficiently so, to enable mer chants to judge ofthe loss the county will sustain, should this increasing commerce receive material check.— Baltimore Ga zette. Tax on Bachelors.-A. lady having remarked in company that she thought, there should beatax on the single state; “Yes, madam,” rejoined Colonel , of (in Berkshire,) who was present, and was a most notable specimen ofthe uncompromising old bachelor; “as on all other luxuries.” AUGUS T A, i WEDNESDAY, MAUCH 4, 183.5. No Mail last evening north of Fayetteville, * N. C. Six newspaper mails from New York due this afternoon. i STILL LATER FROM FRANCE. Extracts of Letters. New York, Feb. 21. —The news from Paris appears to be more pacific, and the letters of many of our well informed friends, state that an amicable adjustment appears yet probable, as the American Minister has not taken out his passports, and awaits the orders of his gov ernment. Havre, Jan. IG.—The momentary misunder standing now reigning between the United Stales and France, owing to the President’s Message and the recall of the French Ambassa dor from Washington, as well as the passports offered to the American Ambassador at Paris, have caused tears concerning the relations be tween the two countries. We think, however, that nothing alarming will ensue. 1 think ihat the two Governments will arrange together ami cably. We repeat that we are of opinion that every thing will be soon in order, but it is always right to be guarded against danger, and it is probable that lhe greater part of our merchants partake of these ideas. Cottons hold the same position, and notwith standing the fears have not varied. Our stocks amount to 35,000 bales, and about 15,000 more are expected. We do not look for any altera tion in prices, unless unforseen circumstances should arise. Havre, Jan. 18.—The treaty of twenty.fi ve millions has been represented by Government to the Chambers. A favorable result is expect ed. It will be most probably voted, or at least funds provided until it is known how Congress will look upon Jackson’s Message. Mr. Living ston has not decidedly quit Paris, and more con fidence prevails. We make no doubt the peace ofthe two countries will remain undisturbed. The Cotton market is active, and prices re main firmly held. Havre; Jan. 18.—The news from Paris has put a stop lo business generally, the sales since the 13th amount to 1,400 bales, and the arrivals 5,200 ; the decline may be sstimated at 2| cen times, extreme quotations for Uplands, 120 to 125. Nothing doing in Sea Islands. P. S.—The American Treaty has been pre sented to rhe Chamber of Deputies, who have referred it to a Committee. The examination will be tedious, and it is supposed there will be no discussion upon it for 15 or 20 days, which will give time to hear of the action of Con gress. LATER FROM LIVERPOOL. New York, Feb. 25. —The packet ship Sully has broght advices from Havre, to 17th January which arec onsidered decidedly pacifiie. Our Insurance Companies have in consequence re sumed their usual operations, and take all at risks about the same rates as were previously current. Insurance stocks have also advanced to nealy their former level: COTTON. —The transactions,since our last report, have been limited. Fine qualities are in some demand, for home use, but for the mid dling and inferior there is very little inquiry The transactions, from the 21st to the 24th, a mount to about 1000 bales, embracing 500 New Orleans at 17 a 18J cents; 200 Florida, 16 18; 200 Upland, 15} a 17; and 100 Alabama, 18 a 18| The arrivals here have been 4,891 bales. To tai Import, since Ist int. 17,312 bales. Export, from the Isf to 19th inst. 10 4G9 bales. Capt. Forbes states that the excitement which was produced on the President’s Message, was fast subsiding, and that the people were gener ally adverse to a war with this country. Mr. Livingston did not intend to demand his passports, although the correspondent of Journal du Havre says he was going to London Galignani’s Messenger ofthe 15th January, contradicts positively, the report, that Mr. Liv ingston was to leave Paris, and says that he has no intention of demanding his passports. The Journal du Havre states that he would not ac cept them untill he had received orders from this goverment. Mr. L. had an audience ofthe King alter the adjournment ofthe Chambers on lhe 15th, The Paris correspondent of the Journal du Havre writes thus under the date of the 16th:— ‘There is great uncertainty as to the fate of the law proposed yesterday by M Humann. There is every reason to believe that the Chamber will not under any circumstances, give up its right of examining into the amount of lhe claim, and to reduce it, if, as it is generally believed, the a mount of indemnity has been increased beyond measure either by speculation or favoritism. “Some of the French Deputies also propose to take the opportunity during the discussion, of asking explanations of Ministers r espectinj an other claim which has recently been presented by the Emperor of Russia, as King of Poland, & which amounts, it is said, to near 200,000,000. “Some Deputes among, whom are the mem bers of the majority, wish to avoid discussion on the American Indemnity, until the Govern ment of the United States has given satisfactory explanations of the language ofthe President’s Message ” DR. DUGAS’S LECTURES. We are gratified, says the Chronicle of this morning, to see that these lectures are so well attended; and yet we must still regret that while many more might equally avail them selves of information so instructive and invalu-1 ble, they should have deprived themselves of the : opportunity of doing so. The two Lectures de livered, have excited the highest interest, and elicited the most unqualified admiration. The ! facility with which the highly talented, able and I scientific lecturer adapts his developements of this beautiful science to the understandings of his unprofessional hearers, is most happy and affords the utmost satisfaction. The Washington Globe of Tuesday, says : “W e have perused a private letter, received by an arrival a day later than the Sully, which brought the news given in the last New- York papers, and says there was no doubt en tertained among the well informed at Paris but that the law for the Indemnity would be passed in the course of four or five days. This letter corner from a source which entitles it to great credit. Mr. Livingston, will not, it ap pears, apply for his passports, but will await the action of the Chambers, in relation to the law roposed by the Ministry.” On yesterday a slight relaxation in the tem perature of the weather, took place, and last night it rained. This morning it has been snowing heavily, mixed occasionally with a drizzling rain, and the snow melts nearly as fast as it falls. A Washington correspondent of the N. Y. Courier and Enquirer, under the date of the 23d ult. says that the President, on receiving lhe late French advices, had declared that he would immediately despatch a frigate to bring home Mr. Livingston. The Philadelphia Gazette states, that orders have been received for the immediate comple tion of the two vessels of war on the stocks at the Navy Yard at that place. The French brig of war Le Dassas saluted the Forts at N. York, on Saturday, 21st ult. which was returned. The Boston Post says:—The statement that Com. Rogers had been assigned to the command ofthe Constitution, is incorrect. Coin. Elliott will proceed to the Mediterranean in the Consti tution, to take command ofthe squadron there.” The Globe publishes depositions of two per sons, named Slewart and Foy, relative to Afr. Poindexter, being seen in conversation with' Lawrence, the assassin, the Tuesday before the attempt of the latter on the life of the President; \ and states that it has been informed that Duff Green and Senator Ewing, endeavored to per suade Stewart not to promulgate the fact. Tlife Telegraph pronounces this statement relative to Dufi Gxeen and Senator Ewing, a falsehood.— The Globe objects to the investigation of the matter by the Senate, as it does not effect Mr. Poindexter in his official character, and insists that it should have been left to the Grand Jury of the country, before which the whole affair will be thoroughly sifted. Thefiigate Constitution had been ordered to proceed to New York from Boston—a letter from Washingion states, that she had been or dered to sail from Boston forthwith, to bring home Mr. Livingston from France, but that the recent news from that country, would probably cause the order to be countermanded. The Senate of Massachusetts have finally yielded to the will of the other House, as to ; the selection ofa Senator to the U. States, and elected Gov. Davis. Mr. Adams had three voles 1 on the first ballot, and none afterwards. A late Charleston paper states that “ tho Right Rev. Dr. Clancy, has been recently conse crated in Ireland, coadjutor bishop of Charles ' ton, S. C. and is expected ere long in that city.” Thecxecution of Charles R. S. Boyington,fop the murder of Nathaniel Frost, took place yes-' terday, pursuant to sentence, about two and a half miles from the City. A large crowd of spectators, assembled to'witness the dreadful spectacle. Two thirds of the male population of the city were on the ground; and many hun dreds, we might always say, some thousands,, from the couniry. Different computations vary the number from six to nine thousand.— Mobile • Register, 2lsl ult. NAVAL FORCE OF FRANCE. According to Mr. Bulwer’s work on France it seems that, in 1833, the Naval force of that kingdom afloat considered of 289 vessels of va vious descriptions, namely 33 ships ofthe line, 39 frigates, 17 corvettes, 9 advice boats, 54 brigs, 8 bomb ships, 6 gun brigs, 18 galliots and cut ters, 36 flotilla boats, 17 steam ships, 52 sloops,, transports and yachts. We are informed by the Randolph, (Tenn.)Rccorder that the whole of tliat town has been recovered in a suit at law, by a widow lady in the state of Nexv r York. The claim was based upon a I military land warrant, granted to a mgro , 1 ofthe plantin', for services during the rev olutionary war, and the court, it seems, - sustains the bill, and decreed the whole , town to the lady. The matter has been compromised by the payment of a consid i erable sum of money.— Mobile Register.
