lieved by letters from him, breathing the
affectians of a virtuous and uncorrupted
heart, towards them and this country,
whose institutions and political career, are
tlie constant objects of his esteem and ep-
prubation. A citizen of this place (who
is a native of Ireland) after an absence ol
more than twenty years, visited his native
country during the last winter and spring,
and called upon Mr. Rowan at his house
in Leinster-strcct, Dublin, where he was
welcomed with the genuine hospitality of
Ireland. He found him unaltered, except
by the hand of time—firm in the princi
ples which had marked his life, and still
retaining a lively recollection of his friends
in this vicinity, to whom he charged him
with letters, accompanied by testimonies
of his affection.
Mr. Rowan's circumstances are very
affluent; his income is large, and his es
tablishments in Dublin, and at Rillala cas
tle, in Mayo,display all the refinement of
European splendor: He takes no part in
the public transactions of Ireland: At
though, sensibly alive to Us miseries,
which the lapse of years has greatly ag
gravated, he feels that his efforts would be
inadequate to relieve them, and seeks ia
domestic occupations ond scientific pur

genial to his inclinations and period of life

pect of y«ur red brethren.
Father—We feel that the hand of our
God has long been heavy on his red chil
dren. For our sins he has brought us low,
ami caused us to melt away before our
white brothers, as sr.ow before the fire
His ways are perfect; he regardeth not the

Father—The Lord of the whole earth
is strong; this is our confidence. He hath
power to build upas well as to pull down
Will he keep his anger forever? Will he
pursue to destruction the workmanship
his own hand, and strike off a race of men
from the earth, whom his care hath so long
preserved through so. many trials?
Father—We thank you that you feel
anxious to tlo all you can to the perishing
ruins of your red children. We hope, fa’
ther, you will make a fence strong and
high round us, that wicked white men may
not devour us at once, but Tet us live as
long as we can. We are persuaded ji
will do this for us, because our field is laid
waste and trodden down by every beast;
we are feeble and cannot resist them.
Father—We are persuaded you will
do this for the sake of our white brothers,
least God, who has appeared so strong in
building up white men, and pulling down
Indians, should turn his hand and visit
ur white brothers for their sins, and call
them to account for all the wrongs they
have done them and all the wrongs they have
not prevented that was in their power to
irevent; to their poor red brothers who
ave no helper.
Father—Would you be the father of
your people, and make them good and
blessed of God, and happy, let not the
cries of your injured red children ascend
into his earB against you.
Father—We desire to let you know
that wrong information hath reached your

no land. You will learn all our minds

The United States’ frigate Congress,
captain Arthur Sinclair,'came up from
Hampton Roads yesterday morning about
10 o’clock, and upon coming to anchor off
Town Point, fired a sflute which was not
returned by either of the garrisons,
following is the regulation of the war de
partment respecting salutes, in such case*:
”No salutes shall be fired to public armed ves
sels uf the United State*, under the rate of a fri
gate, and then only in return, the same number of
guns, notice being given.”
We understand that want of compliance':
with that part of the regulation which re
quires a previous notice, was the cause of
the forts not answering the salute of the
frigate.—Beacon.
We learn from one of the cretv of the
British brig Poor-Jack,that aboutsix weeks

was cruizing between St. Kitts and 1 St.

she fell in with a Spanish squadron, one of
which fired a broadside into her, which
fortunately, however, killed no one. Up
on sending their boat on board, the Span
iards declared that they had taken the Bra
zen for an American, and had understood
that WAR WAS DECLARED between

On this subject the tj/tehcc Gazette, of

gry remarks:—“A few months will show
to what length the government of the Unit- g,
ed States may go in America, without ex- ™
citing the jealousy and resistance of tlie
European governments. It seems to os
that the seizure of Amelia Island is a pa-
ralel, on a smaller theatre, to the entry of
Bonaparte’s troops into Spain, under the
pretence of intestine divisions. The seiz
ure, on neutral territory, and execution of
Arbuthnnt and Ambrislie is fully as unjus
tifiable as the seizure and execution of the
duke of Enghcio; and the storniiugof Pen

the massacres of Madrid.”
, It is a prevailing opinion in Ireland and A
Great Britain, that'what is called worm-'
ing a dog. prevents the possibility of his
communicating that ino-t dreadful of alt
calamities, Hydrophobia. We have re
cently learned that this opinion is so gen--
eral in Germany, at least in Saxony, that
the government appoint* in every district
an officer whose duty itia to worm every'-
dog in tils district ,aud to fine all those who
shall neglett to call upon him to perfurm
hissluty while the dog is yet a puppy
Is not this opinion general enough to
warrant an investigation? If it be well
founded, it woultl probably lead to the
most important regulations and cunse-
qoenees.—Phil. Bern. Press. •

The enterprising colonel James Johaw V
ston of Ky. has contracted with the war
department to furnish rations for the troops
to be stationed at the Mouth of Yellow

He has offered, or intends offering, uftbn-’

ions, to thatpoiut in steam boats. By that
mvuef of fonveyanefr, they would read*
their placeof destination in 60 days, where- v
as by the common mode, they would not
reach there before July or August, 1819.—
A steam boat with two or three pieces of
cannon, and SOO men on board, wo&M
make a more lasting impression upon the
mind* of the sons of the lorest, than woultl
army of 10,000 nnfu marched by ItetLH*
