PERPETUAL .MOTION—again!
1 Red heifers recent failure in this abstruse and,
is many think, visioiiary pursuit we thought
•ouid, fair some tune to come, have deterred
•iers from engagingin similar projects; but we
hjave been somewhat mistaken. A medical gen
tleman, at present iu this city, flatters himself
ti.ithe has discovered and can, without the aid
o\necromancy, put into operation the self-mcv-
it v principle. It is said that his intended ma
chine requires only two wheels; with a spring
tliat communicates motion to them; but what
gi res action to tins spring we have as yet been
in ante to iearn. Probably it is above the com
prehension of common people!
As the nabot jaune, who prints the Savannah

KENTUCKY ELECTION!
Mr. Clat’s opponent in Lexington, is T. T. Bar a, esq!
We know something of this gentleman, and thadittle.we
do know, induces us sincerely to wish Mr. Clay success,
notwithstanding his vote on the compensation bill.—
Without the talents and information of Mr. Clay he pos
sesses ten times more intrigue. Mr. Clay .Has a fancy
and a strength of mind, that will always command re
spect—he possesse s also many virtues of the nobLest
kind. Mr. Barr makes a handle of his vote on the com
pensation bill since lie finds it unpopular; although it is
highly probable, bad he been in Mr. Clay’s seat, he
would have voted on the same side of the question.—

NATIONAL OBSERVATORY.
The establishment of aPeiiLic Ouse ay atobt has long
beeo an object of much anxiety with men of science in
this country, and with tiiose who, without claiming that
character, can in some degree appreciate th e advantages
which might be anticipated from it. We learnt, a few
days ago, that a celebrated mathematician in the employ
of the government, Mr. Hosier, luul returned from Eu-
r me with a complete set of astronomical and other in
struments, which he had.procured for the publ lc use.—
It •• ..s reported, and we were flattered with the belief of
the’report, that an observatory was to be established at
this place; the seat of the government, the centr e of die
union, and tne nucleus around which such institutions
should be;-attracted, It is now rumored, that this pro
ject is deferred f >r a time. We hope it is not to be b.ai-
drmed. For it is certain thatihe object is important, to
relieve us from a dependence on European intellect and
industry; and that, for such an establishment, no point
can combine so many advantages,. Ideal and political, as
the seat of the government.—J\ r at. Intel. 2d inst.
On Saturday last, an elderly man, named D» vtee Vav-
l)Eyi;uR«H, was thrown, by a blackmail, from a sloop ly

inquest upon the body returned a verdict of -willful mur
der. The blackmail was apprehended and committed to
prison.—Albany Argue.
Casualty.—On Friday last, Mrs. Gardner, wife of James
Gardner, living on Loughrey creek, was accidently shot
through the heart by her husband—she left eight children.

THE SE ASON.
The Jiearts of all must rejoice in the change that has
taken place in the weather, and consequently in the
prospects of the fruits of the earth—The nun which fell
last week came when it was extremely wanted, and has
already materially altered the appearance of vegetation.
The Bufl'.dto Gazette states, the very seasonable show
ers had fi.lien in that part of the country, the effect of
which would be most beneficial.
Several .strangers of distinction have, within a few flat s
past, been in the village; among-them were major gene
ral Pinckney, of South Carolina, and major general Ro
binson, from Canada.— Utica Gazette, 23d nit.

ANOTHER SPANISH OUTRAGE.
The following is an extrict of a letter from captain
Ch ries Bisseif, of the schooner Betsey Cotton, ofEden-
ton. (s. c.) to iiis owner, dated

“I am sorry to inform you, that on my passage to this

SCHOONER ROMP.
Yesterday, a specu.1 district court was held at the ca-
pitol, in the case of the schoo er Romp, or Sanlafecino;
judge Tucker being on the bench.
Mr. Wirt, tile United States’ attorney for this district,
appeared on behalf of tiie United States.
Messrs. Wickham and Murdaugh, on the othf - side.
The court being opened, Mr. Wirt observed that the
matter before the court, related to the c.-se of the schoo
ner Romp, which had been seized at the port of York,
and now lay in the port of Richmond; that two libels had
been filed against her, the one on the charge of piracy,
the other for an alledired infraction of the law of the
United States, which forbade the fitting out of any' expe
dition in the harbors of the United States against the sub
jects of any nation with whom we were in a state of
peace—that, as the testimony was not matured for final
investigation at the present moment, lie could not ask a
trial, but merely that certain measures might be taken for
the safe keeping of the vessel and her equipment.
The counsel on the other side offered to put in claim for
the vessel and cargo.
The judge enquired, if it hadheen sworn to?
It was answered that, the party himself was not in Vir
ginia; and that it w;ts presumed not to be in form to re
ceive such an affidavit from ins agent or attorney.
The judge rejected the claim, but observed, that there
as time enough before the meeting of the court in Oc
tober, to obtain the necessary affidavit from the claimant
himself.
A motion was then made that the claim should be filed,
with an order stating the fact of its reflection.
The judge consented to make such an order.
The paper which was then offered and rejected, claims
the vessel, her cargo and equipments, in the name of
Squire Fisk, (late the commander of the Santafecino.)
On the motion of Mr. Wirt, tue court came to an order
that John Craddock, William R.iwiett, and William W.
Weymouth, inspect the vessel and equipments, and re
port to this court on Saturday next, whether she is likely
to be “endammaged” in any material degree by her re
maining where she is; and in that case, to suggest the
best means which may be taken for the preservation of
the property, for the benefit of the concerned.

LAUNCH.
A schooneer of about 108 tons, called the William li
Henry, intended for the coasting trade, was on Tuesday
last, launched from the ship-yard of Mr. Poyas, on South-
Bay.
SHIPWRECK.
Captain Am-urn Folsom, late of the schooner Harriet,
of Portsmouth; N. H. arrived in town last evening, from
Sullivan’s Island, and politely furnished us with the fol
lowing particulars of the loss of his vessel on Tuesday
evening last, in a severe gale of wind from the N. and
.V. E.
The Harriet sailed from Havana on the 26th of July,
with a cargo of sugar and coffee, bound to Wilmington,
N. C. Nothing of material importance occured until
Sunday evening last, when he encountered a heavy blow
from the N. E. which continued with unabated violence
until yesterday forenoon. Captain F. made the land on
Monday evening last, and not knowing where he was,
kept standing off and on; but could discover neither light
house or pilot boats, the weather being so hazy, that he
could not at any time see more than three miles. On
Tuesday evening, about dusk, the schooner struck on the
north-eastern extremity of Sullivan’s Island, and conceiv
ing all attempts to save the vessel hopeless, the captain
and crew immediately took to the boat, and soon after
reached the shore, at the imminent hazard of their lives,
the boat being two thirds filled with Water, when they land
ed.- They did not save any thing of the cargo, and but a
few articles of clothing, except what they had on; Not
even the ship’s papers were saved. The next morning
it was discovered that the vessel had been driven by the
force of the sea, about a mile up the beach from where
she first struck, and lay on her beam ends, bildged. Some
empty si igar hogsheads had drifted out, and been thrown
on shore. Captain F. intends holding a survey upon
the wreck this day, and have it sold for the benefit of if
concerned.
We learn from captain Folsom, that -during his stay at
Havana, and when he left there, six Carthagenian pri
vateers were cruizing in the neighborhood, and captured
many Spanish vessels. A report was also prevalent that
thirty sail of merchantmen had been taken by them from a
fleet linger convoy ofh single vessel of war. About fif
teen sail of African traders arrived from the coast whilst
captain f. was ft UaTsw, with full cargoes of slaves,
whieff sold at very high pifie.es—of the above rintnber,
seven urrived in thfe space of two day at ’ Several vessels
were^ttidg out for the coast, and were to sail rfcompany,
for mutual protection. ’ .
The port Had not been shut against foreigners.

300 dollars’ reward.
Absconded from the subscriber on Sunday afternoon
last, a white man, named JAMES MINOR, whom I took
in my employ on the 1st July. James Minor was sent
from my reside nee at llantole’s, seventeen minutes after
two o’clock, on Sunday last, to Mr. James Perty, to re
ceive from him, on my account, the sum of £1300, which
was paid into his hands, in the presence of Mr. J. P.
Carrol, and another gentleman. Minor was then Been to
go across the New Bridge Ferrv, and procured my
horse, (a large sorrel horse, with a blaze in his face and
two hind feet white) from Mr. Livingston’s tables and
rode off. 1 he horse has since been found, with one of
his ears cut. _ Minor is a tall strait man, six feet high,
ratlier fair, light eyes, and light brown hair, full wfuskers,
speaks correctly and confidently— intelligent both in hifr
looks and remarks. He was formerly a serjeant in the
United States’ army, and was stationed at Fort Moultrie.
He was driving a waggon (for Mr, Compton) between
Charleston and Walterborough, when 1 took him in my
•employ': He is well known in the latter place He state#
that lie is a native of North-Carolina—but this is not to
be depended upon, as he lias at titles called himself a
Georgian, and a Virginian.
Whoever will apprehend the said jame* Minor and re
cover for me the said amount of SpQO of which he rob
bed me, shall receive the above reward of £500. If the
said Minor should be apprehended land the money not
recovered, a reward of £150 will befreely paid upon hi*
being lodged in any gaol in the staff.
