The facts in the following have reached-ns through a ■Channel that commands an-entire re’,iance^nn-their verity. *- x young American, a-citizen of Philadelphia, sailed from New-York as. supercargo of a-vessel during the •time the British ships blockaded New-London. The tdockadiag* squadron then consisted-of a ship of the line, and the Acasta -and -Endvmion frigates. The Ame rican vessel was taken soon-after she left her port, and ^ the supercargo brought as a prisoner on board the En-! were ploughed up in the state of Tennessee; are of very dymion; being a young man of qjeasing manners and j hard stone, but considerably defaced. There is also in easy address, who sung a good song and told a merry 1 the hall a representation of a battle between the Panis tale, he soon became familiar with her commander, anil 1 ' ~ * ' ' '' Jri' ‘ an inmate of the cabin.- When advanced pretty well in the captain’s good graces, he begged to be set on shore, being a non-combatant, having a dread of going to Ber muda, and was anxious to see his friends. The captain tpld him it was not. in his power to comply with his wishes, but he would apply to the commander of- the squadron to give him his liberty:the did so, but-met tmh a refusal. The captain, however, willing to oblige liint, proposed sending him on board the other frigate, the commanding-officer of which was his superior, with » view of aiding his escape—and this was done after some preparatory arrangements between, the captains, on the grqund that his transfer to the other ship was neu ssary on account of there being so many prisoners ■on board. Having a good introduction, he soon became -fhmiliar there, and some days after the two commanders dined together, anil our hero was invited to table: but previous to sitting down, he. begged the captain of the Endymion to plead his suit with his superior officer, and he promised to do.it; instructing the young citizen that when the meats were removed, and before the glasses wett set on the tablf, to step out for a few minutes ’’While he arranged bis business. He did so—nothing was said at table after his return In relation to his affairs un til they were rising.from dinner, when the captain of the Acasta addressing him', said—“WA-vif yon da not thlce care of yourself you -will be draimed, to-night." Nbt Un derstanding what this meant, he applied to the captain ofthe Endymion, when by themselves, "for aw explana tion, and was told that apro vision boatrivoulfrtie along side at midnight—that his trunk would be put on board, and that he must take care to slip in, ami would be -landed at * * * * *, and they would return him as a drowned prisoner—he did so, and was put “ ashore at a public house, where he went to bed. In the morning, on entering the breakfast room, what was his surprise to see the captainsgmf the two frigates at table. They made him a ceremonious bow on bis en try, as much as to say, you must not know us while anv company is present." After the strangers retired, they invited him to go on board the next evening, as they were to have a ball; but he declined* on the plea of his gaged , _ mg; he then rides over his plantation, return*at two, dresses for dinner snd 'oms bis company. He-retires from table soon after tf*e cloth is removed, ond spends the evening in walking about, rending the newspapers and in. conversation with such guests as may be with him. His disposition is truly amiable, easy ot . ccess, quick and ready in dispute - of business, and so conde scending and naturally -It using in Iiis manners and ad dress, that no person at all acquainted with him, can feel in bis presence perplexi'y or enibiirrassnient. Monticello is a conical hill^its summit, on which stands the house, is 500 feet above the adjoining coun try. The view from hence is extensive, variegated and charming. To the w< st, the Blue Mountains, at a dis tance of about 15 miles, bound the prospect; while to the north and east, the eye wanders in rapture over an expanse of, T think, forty-five miles, and can distinguish particular obiects at that distance. It is near a mile from the public road, which leads between Charlottesville and Milton. _ ... The house is an irregular octagon with porticoes on the east and west sides, and piazzas on the north‘and south ends. Its extent including the porticoes and piaz zas, is about one hundred and ten by ninety feet; the ex ternal is finished in the Doric order complete, with bal- lustrade on the top of it. The internal ofthe house con tains specimens of all the diff erent orders except the .composite, which is dot introduced. Thq hall is in the Ionic, the dining room is in the Doric, the parior is in the Corinthian, and dome in the Attic. In the other rooms are introduced several different forms of these orders, all in the truest proportions according to Palladio. On the ground floor are eleven rooms, on the second six, and on the attic four; there are cellars under the whole. Through the antes of the house from north to south on the cellar floor, is a passage of three hundred feet lead ing to two wings, or ranges of buildings of one story, that stand equi distant from each end ofthe house, and. extend one hundred and twenty feet eastwardly from the passages, terrfiinated by a pavilion of two stories at the end of each. The roofs of the passages, arrrt range 6f buildings, form an agreeable walk, being flat and floored, and have a Chinese railing round them—they rise but a little height above the lawn, that they may not obstruct the.view. On the south side are tin kitchen, smoke house, dairy, waste house, and servant’s rooms; on the north are the ice-house, coaches, &c. The library is extensive, and contains, as it might indeed be expect- a vast collection of rare and other valuable works, ^subjects, and in ail languages. Mr Jefferson has a large collection of mathematical, philosophical, and optical instruments and Indian curiosi ties. Among the latter are busts of a male and female, sit- tingin the Indian position; they are supposed to be of great anjiquitv, and to nave been formed by the Indians; they anxiety to get home. “What! W—you are not afraid to trust U», are you, after what we have done for you?” “No, sir, but 1 am exceedingly anxious to gcr home.” Thus they parted—he to his friends, -and they to -tneir ships. While he was on board one of those frigates, and ly ing sound asleep, an officer came a^l roused him in baste, and begged him to hurry’ below—“Don’t stay to put on your clothe*; here is the President frigate close On board of us, and we shall have hard work present ly”—and sure enough there was a prodigious bustle on board the ship—but it proved to be one of their own vessels, and the expected storm passed over. As Uie writer considers this statement substantially true, it exliibits some pleasing- traits in the character of man. The humanity of the captains of the frigates, in aiding the supercargo to escape, and their courage in trusting themselves ashore in an enemy’s country: on the other hand, it exposes the treason of certain Ame ricans in Supplying the British ships, and in providing Vapcotnfnodation* and safety for the officers 'ashore.— Weekly Regitter.

THOUGHTS OEMIGRATION. In our last paper we took into consideration the poli cy of encouraging foreigners to come and-settle among us, and gave our reasons why we thought there was not so much danger to be apprehended' to our institutions from their introduction, as had been suggested by’ some of our statesmen. But whether the policy be a good or bad,one, the existing laws of our country contain no provisions against it; on the contrary they hold out strong inducements to emigrants, by extending to-them’equal rights with native citizens, and after a short probation, by naturalizing and adopting them as legitimate mem bers of our republic. At lije present time they"are flock ing by thousands to our shores^and some scheme ought to be laid for giving the tide a prompt and favorable direction. Those who come to America are generally laborers, and persons from the poorest class of. society. Many of them are without money, and destitute of the means of subsistence. Landed among strangers and i ;norunt of the country, they know not where to seek employ ment, where to apply for information, nor in what part of our Vast territory th.» can find a situation best suited to their circumstances. They stand in need of some kind hand to lead them to the place w'ucre they can, wit,h the greatest facility, find support, and where their services would be the most useful to themselves and the nation. The Atlantic cities are at this time crowrded with multi tudes, striving in vain to find employ me.'-', and wan dering about in almost hopeless despondency. Some plan should be adopted to “remedy those difficulties. We have immense tracts of wild anil fertile land, on which, if they had a little assistance, they might settle, and instead of being idle nuisances, might become res pectable and useful citiz- 11s. Instead of thronging t/le stre*ts of cities which have already a superabundance of laborers, they should be subduing the forests on the banks of the Ohio, the Wabash, the Missouri and Mis sissippi. I.et them be conducted west of the mountains, and tftey will find a boundless field for thjeir enterprise. Let those who can work at the agriculture come here, and they may in a Short time find themselves the pro prietors of rich and beautiful farms. Indeed when we view the choicest portion of our globe in a state of nature; when we see die immense tracts of excell Ait land wiicb remain wild, uncultivated, and in habited only by wild beasts; and at the same time think of the millions of hungry poor, who drag out a misera ble existence in the eastern hemisphere, how devoutly have we wished that $ome benevolent Moses would lead them to this land of promise. Those who have not been bred to agriculture, who cannot wield the axe and guide the plough, may also em ploy their time and skill to better advantage here than in the Atlantic states. Let the bricklayers, the stone-, masons, the house-wrights, the tanners, the shoemakers, and mechanics of every description come to Kentucky, Ohio, Tennessee and Indiana, and we promise that they shall find employment and high wages. Now these foreigners are ignorant of all this, or per haps if they knew it, have not the means of getting here. The expense of transporting them over the mountains would not be great. And if we should give them a part of our vacant lands to settle upon, the remainder would increase in value enough and more than enough to pay for it. Besides ii would be a charitable, a humane act, and would call down the blessings of Heaven on our repub lic. In order to give effect to the scheme, let congress at their next session provide some means to bring about this desirable object. If they in their wisdom stiouid think it repugnant to the interests ofthe nation, then let benevolent individuals form themselves into societies, and concert measures to take them without delay with their families out of the^cities into the interior, Where they will make the “wilderness blossom as the rose.”— Those individuals who own large tracts of wild land would find it their interest to settle colonies ol"these peo ple upon it by its increase of value. And they would have the additional satisfaction of having snatched many a hapless victim from penury, vie* and despair. From the PetersbiiTgh Intelligencer. CHARACTER OF THE ENGLISH ARMY. We have been told by tire English papers, that tile duke of Wellington had agreed* to employ the allied troops as custom house officers in France, upon condi tion of their receiving a per centage on the amount of goods that they may seize! Thus would profit and glory be made to unite in a manner'never before thought of. This base and dishonorable agreement has not escaped the notice of Mr. Cobhett, who, while commenting up on this statement in his 26th No. gives the following character of the British army', officers and men—and* such a character, we venture to assert, never was before applied to an army of civilized people:—“The army of Wellington are' a set of unprincipled wretches, officers as well as men. Wliat very fcase creatures must, they be, indeed, to receive tlie perquisites of’spies and in formers!

CRUMBLING. The Philadelphia True American mentions, among the many instances of the monstrous oppression of the pre. sent administration, that it requires the people to “puu taxes and OBEY!!” Now, is not this a most cruel and unreasonable admi nistration, to think of requiring the free people of the United States to “pay taxes and obey?" The federalists, if they had the power, would not think of requiring such a thing as obedience, we suppose! ’Tis tme,^ Wash ington has said, that “ the very idea of the power and the right of the people to establish a government, presup poses the duty of every individual to obey the establish ed government ” But.'what if Wasliing’.on did say this? Cannot federalists be the disciples of Washington, with out being tied down to his principles? .Certainly, if you will believe them. But it was not Washington alone who held to this strange political heresy, of the duty of obedience. ■ Let 11s see what the great federal oracle, Dr. Morse, said on —— ' * j u see w nut y °f ttirty nulca over a an , occasionally, ^ig subject, inVsermon delivered May 9, 1798: bjected to the weight of the codchman s feet. As po *<Aa citizens we ought with one heart to cleave to and support our own government It is a government of our own forming, and administered by men of our own choice: and theaevorb claims our cattri hence and sub- port. We Ought to repel, with indignation, every sugges tion and slanderous insinuation, calculated to weaken a (jest confidence in the rectitude oftlie intentions' of our constituted autboritk*.” ’ ' . „ r , _ .,*?*■ And what said Gilman, the federal governor of New. rpox earth, generally speaking, than the officers of the English army and navy. Nothing'is so disgusting as their society. Their conversation almost always turns upon prize money or plundering of some sort or other. If two -of them get together, and any person iiappcns to overhear them, without knowing also what they are, he naturally thinks that he is listening to a couple 1 Hbf high way men,'housebreakers or pirates, so constantly i ydoes their conversation consist of questions,’ explana tions and narratives, relative to their plundering exploits. I have never dared to publish the correspondence be tween those mean pillagers, the Cochranes, Cockbums, &c. which was published long ago in the United States. The people of England are not so base as to hear without in dignation of those low acts of theft which were commit ted by our naval officers in divers parts of that country.— But there is no man in England, who-dares, through the press, make known those, or any other of their vile thieve ries.” The reader will bear in mind, that tliis character of the British army was sketched by a native and resident of England, who will yield to none of his countrymen in point of talents or patriotism—if he were disposed to ex aggerate, we all know to which side of the question such a man would most inevitably lean. Exaggerate indeed! We all know that he does not; the people of England know that he does not; the people of Hampton, French- to.wn and Havre de Grace—the wretched-slaves of India and of Africa—the miserable subjects of France and of Ireland—nay the whole world, can bear witness, that he does not exuggergute!
