New-Haven, July
On AVedncsday last, the day after the
anniversary ol oar nattona ,l,,, l ,u ‘ l
dence, the county court for . < »- -
county, met at the court house, to hear
the applications of the war-worn veto-
rans of the rcvolul.on, under the new
pension act. It »vas a most affecting
light to behold mete than a hundred of
those once hardy soldiers, now scarcely
-able to support their tottering frames,
assembled in the court-house, to ic-as-
•ert their claims to the justice of their
country. Many ofthem^unaWe to hear
the expense of u c*nroynnee
thev were, had walked many •-
..resent to the court, in pursuance of
*,> imentorv ol thru wretched-
the act, an inventory of thei
ness. One had a wooden leg to he ap
praised, another his lish hook and line,
nnd a third his crutches. Still, however,
cheered with the hope of participating
in the bounty of their country, their fur
rowed countenances wore the appear
ance of contentment. But no sooner
did they begin to press forward with
their applications than the scene was
suddenly reversed. An order was pub-
*lishedj>y Judge Mills that no application
should be heard, unless the wretched
soldiers, most of whom had not a six
pence in their pockets, would first ad
vance the sum ol four dollars seventy-
five cents each, to be divided among the
members of the court. “ No man, as
was feelingly observed by an aged pen
sioner, “ whose heart was not harder
than adamant, could help being deeply
affected by the scene which was there
exhibited.” To see those heroes of
other times, who had fought and hied for
our freedom without repining, now crip
pled and disabled, fumed from the court
room with streaming eyes to weep over
their poverty, which denied them the
charity of their country, was indeed a
sight calculated to move the hardest
heart.
Several gentleman of the bar, commis
erating the unhappy situation of these
unfortunate hut deserving men, moved
the court to reconsider their resolution,
and (instead, of taking the enormous sum
which would give each of the judges
more than $ 100 for two days service,
and would allow more than fifty dollars
in addition to the chief judge for signing
his name) to take their customary com
pensation of three dollars per day from
the county treasury. Judge VVheeler
seemed inclined to take this course,
which would have been perfectly satis
factory to all; but the chief justice
(Mills) was inflexible. A motion was
then made that the court should suspend
the payment until the pensions were re
ceived,....but no....even this trilling in
dulgence was too much to be granted,
and the order was renewed, that the mo
ney should be advanced. A general
hurst of indignution succeeded the
members of the bar unanimously volun
teered their services in making out the
papers for the applicants, and a subscrip
tion was immediately raised for a dinner,
to cheer the needy and desponding pen
sioners, till the indignant voice of the
people should make itself heard by the
court. ,
Thesc^bility which was felt and ex
pressed on this occasion, was confined
to no party; but one general feeling
deemed to pervade the whole communi
ty. It gives us pleasure to state, that
“ the power of public opinion” was in
.{his instance at least “ equal to its be
nignity.” Judge Mills, who in the morn
ing had affected to consider the gratui
tous service of the lawyers as an -insult
uyioo the court, became suddely. thank
ful for their liberality. The sheriff amf
clerk very cheerfully gave up their
compensation....and the eyes of the
worn out soldiers now glistened with
joy, on finding, no longer, an insurmount
able impediment between them and the
.bounty of their country.
It would seem, from the following
card, copied from the Register of Friday
evening, that the order promulgated by
Judge Mills at the opening of the court,
nnd adhered to with so much pertiimcity,
was merely intended os a pleasant expe
dient to test the patriotic feelings of the
Community, and that notwithstanding its
apparent severity, the bowels of the
judge yearned at that very moment w ith
compassion for those unhappy men who
were erroneously supposed to be victims
of his oppression.
“ PENSIONERS.
“ A Card The Judges of the coun
ty court, in and for New-Kaven county,
tender their thanks to such of the gentle
men of the bar, as have gratuitously aid
ed the revolutionary pensioners in pre
paring their business for the court
and sheriff, very cheerfully relinquish
to said pensioners all claim of compen
sation for their services.
“ New-Haven, July 7, 1820.”
Anecdote An aged pensioner, who
was attendingour county court last week,
for the purpose of making oath to his
poverty, according to the late act of con
gress, hearing it announced, that the
court would require four dollars and s<5-
venty-five cents,'from every pensioner,'
drew from his pocket book an old con
tinental bill for sixty dollars, remarking
that it was all he had ever received for
his services in the revolutionary war ;
and that if the Court insisted u|x»n any
compensation from him, they must take
their pay out of that bill, for lie had no
other property, or means of payment.
A gentleman present prevented its being
handed to the epurt, but it is needless to
add, that it would not have been receiv

Independence....in a new «lyle.
A party of gentlemen Proa the village
ofCairo, and its vicinity, (ogethcr with
a small number from Calskill and II
ter, undertook a singular and hazardous
method of celebrating the anniversary
of our Independence on the 4 th inst. by
repairing to tint Cnuterskill falls, (on the
Cutskil! mountain) in the town of Hunter,
for the purpose of oversetting a huge o-
verhanging rock, which hurl for age* *
probably reposed upon Ihe briiik of the
tremendous precipice ; and whose im-
*. ding situation had threatened destruc
tion to the trembling spectator view ing
the cascade from the chasm below. In
this attitude it had frowned defiance, and
resisted the effoits of repeated experi
ments to remove it from the lofty summit
where it, like Milton's rebellious angel,
“ — ■ - above the rest
“ In shape and t'enturc proudly eminent
“ Slood like a tower.”
The party having arrived at the spot
the day previous to the anniversary, be
gan to make the necessary preparations
for accomplishing their plan, by remov-
ingobstacles, procuring levers, tkc They
then proceeded by daring exertions, to
ascertain the practicability of their in
tended object, and succeeded in eleva
ting the rugged cliff one or two feet from
its bed, on the side most distant from the
precipice, in which situation it was left
until the ensuing morning. The hours
of the deep shades of night, were spent
upon the bare and flinty rock. Perhaps
for the first time, the solitary hour ol
midnight in this lovely spot, beheld the
convivial rights of civilized inhabitants.
No sooner had the day dawned, than
every man sprung with alacrity from hi-
rocky couch, to vie with each other in
the patriotic arid active exertions of the
day. Labor was resumed with removal
ed vigor, every exertion was plied, eve
ry danger encountered, which strength
or ingenuity could pet form, more so in
deed, than prudence could sanction. Af
ter several hours of indefatigable labor,
it about 7 o’clock A. M. this huge mass
began to totter, on its precarious .throne,
its gravity tending more and more every
moment towards the stupendous steep.
Every nerve was now upon the rack,
shouts of acclamations were raised, and
animating congratulations burst from eve
ry tongue. The wished for moment at
last arrived ; this huge fragment uf dis
turbed nature gave wav....it trembled....
it fell.... 1 ' and great was the fall."
Words arc inadequate to describe the
sudden transitions of countenance which
were evident on the faces of the behold
ers, ns this majestic ruin hurled dosvn
the frightful cataract ’A The sight was
awful and sublime ; ami when the rock
struck below, it shattered into thousands
of pieces ! The crash was tremendous,
exceeding the loudest thunder. A tro<
inulous motion of the earth, and a long
murmuring echo, rolling from point to
point through the recesses of the deep
ravine, gave to the scene an indescri
bable degree of grandeur.
This grand exultatio was concluded
by drinking several appropriate toasts,
and firing a number of vollies of musket
ry....after which the cloth was splrcnd
upon the shaded rocks, where cold vi
ands afforded a plentiful repast, nni the
nectar of the cooling stream served as a
wholesome Beverage. The company
then mounted and set forward on their
return to the village of Cairo, inxhe ut
most glee and harmony, where the arriv

PATRIOT RECRUITS. "
Notwithstanding the arrest and confine
ment in jail for trial, of upwards of twen
ty seamen, with the persons who enlis
ted them we understand that 20 or 30
others, who had been recruited in this
city, left town on Tuesday night, to join
the patriot brig Wilson, captain Almeida,
who it still hovering on the coast. They
went off in a two-masted boat, through
Wnppno Cut. They iue said \o have
beeu accompained by a young man, son
to captain Almeida. The new suit of
sails made in this city for the prize, (the
Santiago) have been taken from the vfft
where they were made, and are so

for a cruizer, being a very last sailer.

o’clock A. M. the Tartar, got sight of

jail yard. They were attended upon
the scaffold, by sevui'di of the Clergy,

libeixte calculation for an easy death ;
but HVtton, who left the matter to the
officer, died almost without a struggle,

gony for a time.

PECULATION.
It appears that Dav id I. Greene, Require,
cashier of the Phtcuix Bank of New-York,
has absconded, guilty of peculation to the
amount of one hundred Sc forty seven thou
sand five hundred dullnrs. At first his resig
nation was announced Si understood to have
taken place, in consequence of a reduction of
his salary. Then it v. as whispered that there
were other and more pow erful causes of this
his resignation : finally came what is called
t a Blow-up,” and wonderful it is that this
fame, sinee the prescriptive course is, to stop
short with the mere whisper or inuendo.—
Bunks,
11 Good artful managers that creep between
"Theirfriends and shame, and proven, kind
of screen,"
do not like to risk a little discredit, nor to
press too hard upon old officers, worthy gen
tlemen, who have unwittingly suffered them
selves to embezzle the funds-committed to
their guardianship. The New-York Even
ing Post says, that “tins is the fourth‘Bank
in New-Yurk, which, within a year or a lit
tle more, has been ruhbed by someone or o-,
ther of those entrusted wilh the manage
ment of its coueencs, to the amount of nearly
one half a million of dollars, and pit have the
guilty escaped all punishment."
Who can he surprised ill these frauds, or
at Ihe result, w hen attention is paid to what
occurred 111 (he ease-of the malversation of
the Bank of tin: United States &. its brunch
es! An elaborate justification of the ofl'en-
Uers joCoygress ; a national white-w ashing
by vote; and ultimately, when the whole
extent of their delinquency was ascertained,
and the representatives of the injured stock
holders were assembled to report and repair
the<-vif,a. mere huddling up and -a solemn
reservation of all implicated names! ILpub-
lic morality and security lu.d been fearlessly
and indignantly vindicated iu that ease, few
er instances of defalcation would have been
heard of since, or if as often committed, such
a movement and expression of disgust would
have followed in society, as to turn the-force
of the example iu the proper direction, and
preserve unimpaired, the character of the
nation. It is not impunity, as to person and
purs--, that ehiholdeos imitation, and disgra
ces the country, so much as impunity witii
respect to formal exposure by nautr, g< neral
reception, and apparent repute.
Mr. Greene, it is stated, appeared before
the directors of the plundered bank, by coun
sel, who aeknoivJedged his fraud, but signi
fied his sense of perfect security as to the
criminal laws, and proposed certain terms
of settlement; to which, says the N. York
paper, the Board of Directors did not acct do,
because they did not think those terms an
indemnity. The N’ew-York prints hold a
very proper and useful language, with re
spect to this affair in general. ^
“ When,” says the Evening Post, “once
you teach the community that criminal ac
tions are. not indissolubly connected with n-
dequate punishment, and that the plunderer
of his neighbor’s property lias nothing to
fear from the laws, even if detection should
follow, yon hold out to the needy adventur
er, temptations too inviting to he resisted.—
Depend upon it, the time must come, when
severe retribution must, with certain step
tread or. the heels of crime; when there
must be no hopes to the guilty, from ari eva
sion of the laws by technical subtleties, nor
escapes from their award by iil judged par
dons. At present our country is disgraced
y the. too frequent.occurrence of both.”
The following is the strain of the Amcri-'
can :—“ We trust that a regard lor the pub
lic, and a sense of the necessity of vigorous
measures to cheek this growing and •ilarin-
iij’5 abuse, will induce tile Rank to pursue
tins offence with the utmost rigor of the law,
and make .a salutary example of an indivi
iual whose criminality is in proportion to
h«i responsibility, and whose punishment
should be measured by the extent of the
trust reposed in him, and the. confidence he
lias abused. No regard for the man, nor the
feelings of those connected witii or interest
ed iu him, nor any hope of securing the in
stitution by lenient measures,should be per
mitted to influence the course of public jus
tice. Tlie character of the city, public feel
ing, and the cwniuou interests of all our hank-'
ing institutions, demand that no instance of
similar fraud should remain unpunished."

Gentlemen: My attention was arrested
by the perw>»:l of a handsome description of

The (so exiled) Stone Mountain, is a rock
much in the shape of a sugar loaf-—it is up
wards of two thousand feet in height, and u-
Imut tour miles iu circumference at the hot-

seventy or eighty feet; the height from l»e-
•ovv is awful—almost terrific ! On the other
sides, you have a gradual ascent to about
three fourths of the way up; when you come
to a level space fifty feet wide, that extends
entirely around llie rock. On the outward
side ot this level are fortifications, except on
that side that projects forward: where in

SUGGESTIONS AN1) OCCURRENCES.
Considerable sums have been lost here
this season, for want of Bankable money to
lend to persons who would have given a
handsome premium for the use of it.
Industry and economy are recommended
as important antedotes against the evil of
Hard Times.” Those who have.jvuy doubts
as to tlie efficacy of these prescriptions, arc
solicited to give them a fan trial ; their be
neficial effects will lie infill illy demonstrat
ed to those who adhere to llicin with.perse
vering constancy. ,
Economy is some times disregarded by
those not deficient in industry, by which
means the. benefits ot laborious exertion are
dissipated, Si 1he disease of hard times preys
upon tlie vitals with excruciating agony.
The most experienced medical casuists
consider a combination of economy with in-
dustiy, as more essential to a radical .relief
froni'permda Ol pressure, than all other pa
tent medicines united. Other remedies af
ford only temporary relief—-those strike at
the root of tin: disorder and inevitably re
move it from the system. Industry without
economy, like attempts to vv.-.sh the Blucka
more white inevitably prove useless ; and e-
conomy without industry will be found too
relaxing to raise a patient from a state of pe
cuniary debility : But by attempting every
dose of tire one with appropriate portions of
the other, the most obstinate cases of em
barrassment w iil be removed, and a smile of
cheerfulness and comfort will he imprinted
upon the countenance which was previously
overspread with gloom and melancholy.
Persons nceiistomcd to sleep too sound,
may in some degree countered this propen-
si'y by indoising papers for those who for
get. such favors when their own purposes are
an :wared by obtaining them.

New-York, July 11.
We have been favored with St. Johns, N.
B. papers to the 27th nil. The ship Isabel
la, Patton, has arrived at that port, in 27
days from Greenock, bringing papers to the
2fith May, containing Loudon dates to the
Skill. At that time all was quiet in the ma
nufacturing districts: The arrival of the
queen was anxiously looked for, and the pre
parations for tile eurouatinn of George [Y r ,
engrossed the public attention.
The grand jury of London !«ve. found a
Dill of indictment for high treason against
Edwards, the Spy, aud iustfottorof the
Cato-street conspiracy. Mrs. Thistle wood.
Mrs. Brunt, Julian TJiistlewood,, the son and
other witnesses were examined in support ot
the charge. Edwards haft absconded • it
was said Mr. Ilamu-r, the solicitor, was au
thorized by some, individual to oiler £ 1 ou
reward for Iris apprehension. Evidence vvts
produced that all I'm pikes which were
found in the premises of the conspirators;
were manufactured by Edwards’ order and
that lor every one of them the niaiiwfactu-
rer was paid by Edwards. The wanTfsctu-

GREAT BRITAIN.
At no period do we remember seeing
the affairs of this kingdom so deranged.
It in former times manufactures were de'
pressed and commerce languished, tha
national debt was not swelled, and econ*
omy was more rigidly observed. Petiti
ons continue to flow into Parliament, caU
ling for relief to the manufacturing and
commercial classes j and the national dis*
tress is so great us to create considera
ble alarm. The debates in the Housft
of Commons are distinguished for great
virulence and acrimony oaboth sides, a
sure proof of national calamity : for when
ministers cannot explain with temper,
and oppositionists attack with caution,
aflnirs are more deranged than the peo
ple arc aware of. When George the 3d
ascended the throne in the year 1760,
the tuinunl interest of the national.dcbt
vvns a little more than four millions ant
a half, it is now more than thirty-two tnilr-
hens. At that period eight millions tverb
) clleetud for t- xe‘, rfo v near sixty mil
lions are required. Spanish wars, con
tinental alliar.res and subsidies, colonial
possessions, and a national pride not call
ed for by il.e tmtieiud interest, have pro
duced this iriLrease of taxation nnd the
public debt, so that the nation cannot
longer support the burdens.
Mqariw bile. George the Fourth, is m,v
i>ing ll.e most splendid preparations for
his coronation, nnd the ceremony of pla
cing on Iris brow rite “ round top ofsovc-
i f iffiitv., bids fair to cost the people five
millions of dollars. Instead of recom
mending a system of economy nnd re
trenchment on Ins accession tothe throne,
he is st-riv ing to plunge the natioo in
deeper distress ; nnd with a pride, false
:ls it is useless, be studies how to iucrease,
not diminish, 1he public burdens. How
much longer ,the nation ran exist in this,
state, it is impossible to say.

Mr. Brougham, lately moved the House of
Commons to enquire into the Droits oftho
( t-ovvii—l.is object was to wrest them from
it—on Uk? broad, incontrovertible ground,
that the commons held tlie purse ; that this
was the great cheek which the. people held
over the king; aud that these droits accrued
to the crown, w ithout any sort of control,or
consultation with the Commons. Mr. 0.
stated, for example, that in 11)04, the prizts
money amounted to £ 103,000—in 1800, to
i- 155,000: from the Spanish condemnati-r
oos! vessels treacherously seized previously
to a declaration of war,) the sum of £2,200,-
000 went to the -crown. Mr. Canning of
course, resisted this proposition—and took
occasion to cast a sneer at the Americans—
he said another argument for departing front
tlie usage ot the deceits, was “ that the whole;
department of the monarchy may be re-cast,
and foi the sake of doing- away with every
vestige c-f feudal monarchy.—That we could
erect something new that would merit great
praise, tie w as not prepared to deny ; thfc
new fabric might be clean and neat ns the Jh-
merican government, uvd intelligible as the
Persia’nt of the United States.” He rcprir-
senfod the House an saying to the King,
Yiv wish you to he a king aftera new fash
ion ; we require your allowances to be limi
ted to your physical wants ; ue desire you to 1
rind‘the President of America.”—(Cheers)

vile tools employed to prop a falling fabric,

truly Worthy of such a cause l
But let them employ bloodhounds orjes^
ters, Great Britain may yet see herself more
assimilated to America. The war between
powers and principalities, and the people £
between kings and subjects ; between Li
berty and the oppressor, is still waging in
Europe, The press, the impulse which it
gives in a variety of ways to the human mind,
with all ihe muzzles which kings try to put
upon it; the diffusion of Lancastrian and o-
tlier elementary schools; tlie rapid inter
course of commerce ; the contagious exam
ple ol one great and flourishing republic,
iield up as a m.ghty vvatchtovver to office
nations; these bid the world not to despairy
iiut to prepare for further reforms.

AA e received Glasg. w &, Greenock paper*
to tlie IMJi of May, by the arrival yesterday
oi the Harmony, from Greenock. They are
quite munteresting. The Glasgow Courier
thus notices the late United States loan of
three millions:
file commercial pressure felt in the Ame
rican cities, and the subsequent diminution
whiuh took place last year in the produce of
t-h'z customs, have made it necessary for the
'government to borrow two millions of dol
lars in order to make good a Sinking Fund
of eight millions. AYe should not have ex-
peett d the American Government to go into
such idle policy; for it is obvious that to
keep up a Sinking Fund by loans will not.
diminish the debt, hut enlarge it, by the Con
tractor's profit on the loans, and by the ex
pense of managing the Sinking Fund.
The Due d’Angoulcme, who left Paris on
tile 25th ult. on a journey to the south, in
passing through one of the principal citify

which even the presence of the military,
who were draw n out to receive hint was in-
auflicicritto restrain. It is even added that
a conflict took plane between the populace
and the soldiery, w Itieh did not terminate
without considerable difficulty in their dis
persion.
