This is a bold Step, as the consequence of detection is confiscation and fiaih; but there are men who will encounter any dan get for the sake of profit. It is the duty of our go- vernnintj a duty it owes to humanity and the laws-of our country, to counteract the enterprize of those ava ricious tigers. The means are simple and sure.

J..Dallas is now in,this city, and has just’ finished his report to the president, prepara tory- to nis leaving the treasury, and arranging the bu siness for t successor. It is now certain that he will re tire about the flint of October . Who his successor will be, we cannot say with certainty. Mr. Lowndes contin ties to be spoken of, and we think it probable jje will be the man.—National Register. Various conjectures are afloat relative to the person who is to be called to the head of the treasuiy,; in the place of Mr. Dallas, whose valuable services the govern ment is about to lose by his resignation, which, it is said, takes place' about the first of next mon^i. The name. of Mr. Lowndes, the worthy representative in congress from South Carolina, has been positively mentioned in some prints as his successor; from what authority we know not, but we rather think without any. better than conjecture affords. The successor of Mr. Dallas has not been designated, nor is it easy to sav who, from the wide range of competent citizens, win be selected for the important station he has filled.—Nat. Int.

JThe Boston Chronicle makes the following comment, as pleasant as judicious, on the-British project: / “If John Bull should ever make this attempt in earnest, we hope brother Jonathan will be before-hand with him, and dig 9 feet, or 18 if necessary to.turn the course of Lake Champlain down the Hudson.

The cause is ex plained a few lines afterwards, when we find that a troop of dragoons from Hamilton, a squadron of horse from Piersirill, and some detachments of the 78th regiment, had arrived to reinforce the garrison of Glasgow. It appears tliat every considerable town and village in England, is garrisoned'with regular troops, to suppress the riots of the unemployed and starving manufacturers, overburthened farmers, and suffering laborers.—Natlnteh In the night which followed the long and bloody bat tle ofArcole, the commander in chief, going the rounds of the camp himstlf, discovered a centinel fast asleep, with his head reclined on the butt end of his musket; he lifted his head gtntlv, rested on the ground, and taking the soldiers gun, performed himself the remainder of the duty, until the noise of the corporal coming to relieve him awoke the soldier- who, rubbing his eyes, and finding himself without arms, exclaimed, “My God! I.am. ruined this is the general.” “Yes,’’.replied Bonaparte, “it is my- setf, but be not alarmed, my comrade, you are notp-uined for this; after so much fatigue, so, brave a man as^sou may be allowed,to sleep, but you ought to make better choice of the time. > • . Madam J\T6reau is said to be shining at theThul- leries—and to, “spend whole days, laughing, dancing and singing.” She is reported to h .ve rejected the addresses of marshal Macdonald—certainly for the strangest reason in the world, “because lie was too steady.”—Compiler. AMERICAN ACHIEVEMENT. While the siege of Savannah waspending, a remarka ble enterprize was effected by colonel George White of the Georgia line. Previous to the arrival of D’Estaing on the coast of Georgia, a captain Delancey’s fir ,t'bat la- lion had taken post with about 100 American royal regu lars near the river Ogecchee, about 25 miles from Savan nah'. There were also at the same time five British ves sels, four of which were armed, the largest with 14 guns the smallest with 4 guns and the whole manned with ;d>out 40 sailors. Colonel Wliite with 6 volunteers, in cluding his ourn servant, made them all prisoners, On September 30 at 11 o’clock at night, he kindled a num ber of fires in different places, adopted tlfc parade a large encampment, practised a. variety of other stratagems and summoned the captain to surrender; who was so folly impressed with an opinion that nothing but an instant compliance could save his men from being cut to pie* ces by a superior force, that he made no defence. The deoeption was carried on -with such address that all. the prisoners amounting to 141 were secured. 1 — The colonel now being very much embarrassed, was at his wit’s end to know what to do with so manyprsion- ers, concluding that if they discovered liis weakness tliey would rise and capture him and his party in turn, hit up on the following expedient—he suggested to the com manding officer of the captured treops the dilemma he was in to fulfil the articles of the capitulation with good faith, its his ijaen were so enraged at the cruelties that had been practised by, the British; that they were deter mined to put them all to death—upon this representation the British officer suggested the propriety of his keeping his regiment in the rear of them while,three of his men should conduct .the prisoners to the nearest American post which was 25 miles distant, which they accordingly did and deliv ered them safely to-the com manding officer.— Baltimore paper.
