June :JO.
The United States brig Enterprise,
8apt. Kearney, anchored at Port-Royal
Yesterday from a cruize.
By tlie Perthshire, in 3 days from
Santa Martha, we learn that on the 10th
in»t. the Independent squadron, under
the command of Brion, having on board
Gen. Montillo and his troops, made their
appearance before Santa Martha, and af-
terliringscveral broadsides at the battery',
without meeting any residence, stood
atvay for Suvanilla, which port they at
tacked on the 12th, and took posse-sion
without any opposition, there having
been only three guns mounted on the
battery. At the time of the Perthshire’s
sailing, they were still in possession
waiting to be joined by a large force ex
pected down the Magdalena.
The Perthshire has on hoard 21 per
sons, consisting of men, women and chil
dren, who have fled from Santa Martha.
The brig AericL having on board Gen.
D’Evereaux and Suite, consisting of two
Aids, one Col. one Major, a Surgeon,
and a Chaplain, with twenty-six privates
and two women, arrived at Port-Royal
late on Friday evening, from off Rio de
la Uache. The Acrid is originally from
Liverpool, and the General, we learn,
chartered her in the character of a fo
reign merchant, as having been ship
wrecked, to convey himself and follow
ers to their homes. After hat ing been at
sea about ten days, he then assumed the
rank of “ independent General D’Evcr-
caux,” and the Aerie! was ordered for
Marguritta. Oil their arrival at that Is
land, they found none of the Indepen
dent Chiefs there to receive them, nor
had any provision been made for the re
ception and support of the General and
his ’men : On learning, that Birin had
proceeded against Rio dc la Ilache, with
those of the Lpgion that had proceeded
General D’Erereaux, to South America,
hr d elermined to proceed thither. On
his arrival olf that place, they observed
the Spanish flag flying at the fort and
their signals not being answered, they
wisely declined going iu. Not being able
to hear any thing of Brion, they then de
cided on coining to this Island for infor
mation. Immediately after coming to
anchor at Port-Roval, a guard cf Marines
was placed on board of her till hi« Grace
the Governor gliould signify his pleasure
what should be done with them. On
Saturday morning, General D’Evereaux
made application to Com. Uuskisson
for permission for himself and an Aid de
Camp to land, but the General alone was
allowed to go on shore. We learn that
during the passage, the privates rose
'three limes on the master of the Aerial
and took possession of her, and otherwise
behaved very ill.
- /July 4
In the Common Council yesterday
letter from his Grace the Governor’s
Secretary was read on the subject ofn
communication from Gen. D’Everoiix, of
the Columbian service, to his Grace,
regretting that the Island should experi
ence inconvenience from the late arrival
of men from Rio de la Hache, and pro
posing to the Governor—that a fund,
equal to the bounty now allowed to the
to masters of vessels for their passage to
Europe, would be placed in security at
bis the General’s command, and lie would
take them all awav. The latter to the
Common Council stated, that tlie Go
vernor did not know any such person as
General D’Evereux ; hut his Grace
deemed it necessary to mention, that such
a proceeding would not only he illegal,
but would subject the Island to be bur-
Ibened with those men a second time.
The Secretary’s letter also inclosed a
proclaintion from General Morillo, which
calls upon all the emigrants from the
Spanish Main to return, u nder a promise
of pardon, to enjoy the protection and
Government of tlie Cortes.

The Foreign aVeuw.—The ntelligenco from
the Spanish Main, as usual, “ wants confir
mation.” The Patriots ure said to have been
defeated in tho neighborhood of Rio-de-la-
Hachv, with the loss of boo men, their can
non, stores, fic. On the other hand, it is an
nounced that Bolivar’s army, 10,out) strong I
was, on the Ittth June, within three day’s
march of Carthagena. We believe tlie num
ber of the troops allotted to Bolivar, wher
ever he may be, to form at tho least a cent,
per cent, exaggeration. The only certain
information brought by the late arrivals la,
that the Royalist Commander, Morillo, has
issued a proclamation offering a general ani-
nyjjty. Them is no likelihood of its being
hccepted by Bolivar, to whom it is reported
to have been carried by three, commission
ers. These are said to have sailed with it on
the SRh nit. from La Guira for Angostura,
If Bolivar was so near Carthagena more, than
a fortnight before, t-» overtake him by this
route, would be a little tedious.—.’Vat. Caz.
Xcic Method of Weighing.—The Superin-
tendant of the New-Englantl Museum has
recently invented a maotiiue foi weighing,
on a principle never before practised, which

mefit. It is called the Prondrotneter, and is
so constructed, that it weighs of itself what-
ever is put into it, without tlie labor ul ino>-
ing either weight or poi-e. Many ingenious
mechanics who have seen it, speak of it as a
valuable discovery.
At the last session of the Legislature of
Indianan law was passed, directing that any
person (travellers excepted) wealing any
dirk, pistol, sword in cane, or any other un
lawful weapon, concealed, shall be deemed
guilty of a misdemeanor, and, on conviction
thereof, by presentment or indictment shall
lie fined iu any sum not exceeding one hun

To ROBERT W Vi.SH, Ju.v'n, Esq.
Having considered the moral effort of sla
very upon the state, whose immediate inte
rest was involved in tb" question, and shewn
from your own conclusive reasoning, li it
there is nothing to dread in tiiat regard,
there are two other relations in which it
should bo viewed, connected with the point
of expediency. First, its effect upon the slave-
holding slates : and secondly, upon the con
dition of tho slaves themselves. Upon the
first, the most obvious refieetions that pre
sent themselves, are suggested hy your own
•remarks, when investigating these self-same
topics. A few quotations from your work
will best explain the inferences that will af
terwards be made : you state that “ the plu
rality of the leading men of the southern
states, are so we'd aware of its pestilent ge
nius, tiiat they would he glad to see it abol
ished if this were feasible w ith benefit to the
slaves, and w ithout indicting on the country,
injury of such magnitude ns no community
has ever voluntarily incurred. While a real
ly practicable plan of abolition rein ons un
discovered or undetermined ; and while the
general conduct of the Americans is such on
ly as necessarily results from their situation,
they are not to be arraigned for this institu
tion. If, as 1 hare no doubt is the case, it
produces here much less misery and vice,
than it produces in other countries which
are cursed with it, i! furnishes occasion la-
ther for praise than blame.” Shewing thus
the unfortunate situation of the southern
stales, with refer, nee to the reluctant conti
nuation ot\Utis evil, you present a gratify
ing and i 4 »ivo view of the subject in the
following manner, “ but the northern and
middle states,more auspiciously circumstan
ced, began the work of extirpating the evil
from t! t ir own bosom, even before tlie ter
mination of the revolutionary struggle. In
17)10, Pennsylvania decreed a gradual abo
lition. Iu this same year ail immediate one
was virtually effected in Massachusetts.—
The example of Pennsylvania was followed
throughout New-England at tho distance of
a few years: all that portion of the union,
north oftlie state of Delaware, lias since pur
sued the same course.” Although die eas
tern and middle states, either individually or
as members of the union, could not legislate
for the southehi status on this “delicate sub
ject,” yet vou observe “ thby have not been
backward"in discharging »uy duty in the
Way of exhortation and aid, which Iheir po
litical and other ties w ith the siaVp-holding
countries might seem to create. ’ I iom too
foregoing extracts, it distinctly appears that
the southern states abhor the inst itution, and
are aware of its “ pestilent genius,” that they
are not in a situation to abolish it, and indeed
would not be justified in so doing, that the
northern states were more “ auspiciously
circumstanced” for that purpose, and have
availed themselves of that advantage, and
finally have never “ been backward in ex
hortation” to their sister states to do the
same ; and yet it is now thought expedient
to confine the curse to one section of the u-
nion entirely, ir it is admitted that it was
entailed upon the Colonies, not only against
their will but even their frequent and hum
ble remonstrance, if it is confessed that it
was an evil in its origin,common to the whole
sisterhood of states, imposed by agieedy and
rapucious parent for the basest ul purposes,
and that some states profiting by the mora.
and physical causes operating in their favor
have been able to shake ofl' the mischief.
Where is the justice of keeping the southern
states spell bound by it, and forever exclu
ded from the exercise of those benevolent
sentiments which have for years been gradu
ally changing tlie conditioq of this unfortu
nate people to the north ? What hope or ex
pectation can those states have of following
1 Ik, example of tiled' bister states, when from
such an increase of this wretched raee, sla-
very can not, iu your own words be abolish
ed, either “ with benefit to the slaves, or
without inflieting oil the country, injury of
such magnitude, as no community has ever
voluntarily incurred?” You lioust that clo
ven of tliesa stales have abolished slavery,
and “are not now implicated in the deme
rits oftlie question,” but while you thus sel
fishly wrap yourselves up in a fancied secu
rity of character, mid safety of person, are
you willing the world shall know what an
ungenerous advantage yon are about to take
of the slave-holding states, whose troubles in
this respect you have most unkindly multi
plied ? Will yop have candor enough to own
that your more sordid inhabitant*, while
your eleven states were undergoing their pi
ous change of temper in relation to their
slaves, either bartered off, or emigrated with,
thousands of them to the south ? Will you
now say that it is liberal or even honest, af-
ter they have accumulated in immense num
bers in a few states, after these states have
served as a drain to your country, and re-'
lieved you of your calamity, that on them
it shall ho immediately perpetuated. Oh !
surprising humanity! oh! wonderful mag
nanimity ! Even the little state of Delaware
is spouting out its overwhelming tenderness,
through its sapient and pity-breathing Le
gislature! Will you suffer me to ask what
kind of humanity is that which hurdles to
gether a number of miserable beings into one
confined spot, where a sense of self-preser
vation must forever operate upon their con
dition in terms of the most unremitting and
easeless rigor ? But these non slave-holding
states have the modesty to tell us. that it
was a “ generous zeal” seconded by the “ ac
tion of good principles,” that induced them
to abolish slavery, and although they would
not “ break loose from the confederation
because the southern states did not do so
likewise, yet they have, not been backward
in exhorting such a course And pray if
the southern states should ever lie overtaken
by such n generous zeal, and should be wil
ling to yield to the pure and benevolent and
spotless exhortation of her compassionate
sisters, how w ill she be able to effect the ob
ject ? Remember you have said tiiat “hu
man prudence •irliids that we should preci
pitately engage in a work of such hazard as
a general and simultaneous emancipation.—
What place is left to share with us this bur
then that was once a common one, which is
not of our own creation, and w liich we in ex
tending the rights of hospitality, toourhreth
ren of t he north, have acquired almost be
yond our merits to bear, and certainly be
yond our just proportion to suffer? It is just
or manly that the whole of this once com
mon curse, “afflicted without our fault”
should be unalterably fixed upon us—that
the unhappy objects producing it should lie
pent up in one devoted section of the union,
and lie forever foreclosed of any hope, of re
demption? I do belie', e that such a course
strikes at the true and un'ni method of final
ly extirpating tho evil. \ on admit that a-
hnlitiou is impossible, and that “ colonizati-
.on is attended with appalling difficulties,”
that “ from the. commercial jealousy of G.
Britain, the prevalence oftlie slave trade,
our liability lobe involved in wars with Eu
ropean nations, which would interrupt our
communication with Africa, we should he
obliged to withdraw our aims from that con
tinent, yet the plan might be pursued on our
own with equal convenience and less risk of
filial miscarriage.'’ If this he yet your opi
nion, what place on our continent is so well
adapted to tlie purpose ns suinu unsettled
region to the west ? and w lint, scheme could
30 well promote the object as to keep them
gradually tending thither ? as the. ripening
disposition of their owners to yield that boon
advanced, they would lie nearer their final
and temporal state of rest. Although I am
not willing to subscribe to the soundness of
your opinion w ith reference to, the proper
place of colonization, or to give your sayings
in that regard the authority of prophecy,yet
I will hazard the declaration that if that is to
be ouryli^iendence and tlie slave’s relief, ct-
tlier in America or Africa, it can suiely be
done from the. west as well as from the east
side of the Mississippi: and if Africa is to
afford the place of refuge, it will he an abso
lute obstruction of the progress of the event,'
to arrest the emigration of slaves to tile west,
for the mighty agent that is effecting and
will finally consummate the change, is a sen
timental and moral impulse, accompanying
tlie evil as it rolls from state to stale, inrreas-
iug as tlie miseries cf the institution devclope
themselves, w hich tho northern states deli
vered over to their neighbors when they
surrendered the curse; and which in turn
will be communicated to the tide as it moves
onward, and shall at last occasion it to disap
pear from the shores of the Pacific.
These last remarks are applicable to the
second thing proposed to lie considered,
namely, the effect of restriction upon the
slaves themselves, which will now in its turn
bo examined. While w c are anxiously a-
waitirig the great result of colonization, all
persons concede that it is extremely desira
ble that the cheerless condition of slavery
snould be rendered less chilling ami discon
solate, and here a question irresirtably sug
gests itself, can this object be better attain
ed in a crouded than a dispersed populati
on ? On this question 1 w ill appeal once
more to some ot your own refieetions. In
your contest with the British reviewers, you
eagerly seize an acknowledgment of tb
that negro slavery in the United States ex
ists “ in a form by far the most mitigated,"
and then you exultingly quote the question
they have,as you state, unanswerably asked
“ Who can compare the. state of the slave in
the sugar islands with that in North Ameri
ca ?” But when you come to account for
lids surprising difference between the two
you state it is owing among other causes to
IllO “vast HuiijiVi' ;;, r negroes iu the West-
Indies,” and the “ immense disproportion
between the whites and the blacks.” Those
circumstances you intimate compel the hoi
ders of slaves iu the. i lands to be. ever on
their guard, to have their apprehensions al
ways .alive, am! never to relax in that eon-
stent, severe and overawing management,
which alone can ensure, the proper subjecti
on of the slave, and but a tolerable state of
security for the master. Do you wish this
order of things in the southern states? Are
they to lie made the “ negro island-,” of the
United States ? These may be principles en
tirely suited to rui ecclesiastical tyranny, am’
feelings every w ay worthy of an established
church, which ambitious cut-throats may
cherish for the sake of oil’.ce and pow er, but
which I trust the great inass of tile citizens
throughout the union w ill abhor and pre
scribe.
Adverting still to the condition of slavery
in this country, you remark tiiat it “ has un
dergone, since the revolution, a great and
striking amelioration, -ml that the negro has
gained by that event as much as the white.
The causes of this undeniable, tact are va
rious and obvious. With the importation of
the Africans,ceased mucliof the dread which
the slave population inspired, while it was
continually receiving large accessions of
Granger?. At this time, by f!.r the greater
part of the slaves oftlie old states have, been
liorn fc brought up by the side of the whites.
In proportion as the indigenous character
predominated, the propensity on the one
hand to shake off the yoke ami the mistrust
on the other, trhich occasioned its aggrava
tion, regularly diminished. Another circum
stance tended to render the slaves iu a much
less degree objects of terror,vtm/ to make
room for the kindlier dispositions of our na
ture to operate ; the whites came soon to ex
ceed them considerably in number, from emi
gration added to natural increase.” These
peculations of your own you have support
'd by the authority of Brougham, whose o-
piuinn on the subject, you adduce in the fol
lowing words—“the fatal disproportion of
the two classes, and the. cruel treatment of
the slaves in general, would he inateiially al
tered by any revolution that should separate
the colonies from the parent state,” because
among a variety of reasons given, there
would be “ fewer in number,” more highly
valued, and on that account better protect-
d; they would he more “ widely dispers-
d,” and thereby exciting no “ unreasona
ble, feats" would he under “ loss restraint.”
Again you state. “ nut only does the propor
tion which the slaves hear to the free part qt
the community, contribute to determine, their
rendition, but in general, the greater or small
er numbers in which they belong to individu
als. The abolition ol entails, and tlie rule,
of primogeniture, together with tlie evapo
ration of those old prejudices which fettered
parental affection in the testamentary distri
bution of estates, have, since the. establish
ment of our indepcndencu, led to the subdi
vision of every kind of property ill the sou
thern communities. The negroes being more
widely apportioned, exist ill smaller bands,
and are of course more under the immediate
care and inspection of the masters, in whose,
eyes they must at the same time hare, sing
ly, more value.” And w hen you have spe
culated at some length, you conic to the bil
lowing conclusion, that “ the disposition of
the master to good usage of the slave has
been constantly increasing fiom the inhaiice-
nient of his price, occasioned by the demand
for bis labor in tho new stales : and this ad
ded to the more, abundant production ot
food, tlm consequence of opening new and
fertile countries have greatly rtdounded to
his advantage." Will it be unnatural or im
pertinent to nil you it similar causes tin not
produce, similar effects, and that d the dis
persion of the unfortunate slaves, the great
disproportion between them and the whites,
their being associated in smaller numbers,
and the sub-division of them, hy a more, libe
ra! method of disposition, having a tenden
cy to throw them into smaller baud —n.orc
widely apportion'd, hav e, together with "va
rious ami ntlier obvious” circumstances enu
merated above “ redounded so much to their
advantage” in the south, whether a like treat
ment would not ptoduce the saute grate I ul
and happy result in the west . 1
That their transportation from state to
state does not impair their condition, we
have the following testimony from your pen
“ tlie. removal of considerable numbers of
the slaves from the old slave holding slates,
to the south and south west, tends material
ly to increase the relative majority oj the
whiles in those, states, and is likely to conti
nue. so as greatly to lessen the danger to
which they may he held to he exposed. Tin
slaves emigrate litlier with tlieir original
owners, or with persons ol the game or an
adjoining state. The greater number go to
a more fruitful soil j to a climate equally or
more favorable to their constitutions ; alto
gether they sutler but little, ij at oil, by the
liange uf position.”
My leisure will not longer suffer me to pro
secute this subject, although it is tar, very
far from being exhausted. I tiust however
I have extended it sullicicntty to redeem my
pledge, that before 1 was done, the “ fuels
submitted should occasion your opinions to
carry less of solidity than iiidiscreUun, and
more of inconsistency than conviction.’ —
Whatever of severity ol temper I have iu-
lulged, or harshness ol terms may have
icon employed, they are not intended for
your private character, hut aimed exclusive
ly at your hostile disposition towards tlie
'.(institution and union ot out common coun-
i v. You have directed a blow against the
ivil liberty and personal rights ol every ci-
izon of America, and m return you have a
right to expect their united execration; but
before 1 take leave of you, there is one mor
quotation to uriakc that perhaps may startle
you, for it is identically the same vvnich you
on a former occasion borrowed from, a no
justly retorted upon, the Edinburgh Review,
and was by that journal used against a much
worse man, little as you may think ot my
candor, than yoursell; and this, as it gives
you some negative merit, is nut so much in
tended for a compliment as by a public ac
knowledgement of the. truth, to convince you
ftlic dispassionate character of my mo
tives. wiien I speak of a worse man than
you, i know you involuntarily turn your eye
towards Rufus King, Imt here too you aio
mistaken, it U a person occupying a place
exactly between you, baser tliau you, hut
better than him, it is indeed William (Job

is it that we infer from lids strange altera

must be thu most foolisil of all tilings, to

rilBLIG SENTIMENT.
The unanimity of sentiment and feeling
displayed in the celebration of the Forty-
Font lli anniversary of our Independence, we
believe, is unparalleled since the adoption of
the Fedearal Constitution ; party distinctions
and sectional jealousies, so difficult to over
come, were generally laid aside, and patrio
tic and fraternal affections reigned iu their
stead, the inmates of every American bo
som. This is consoling and cheering to the
heart of the patriot, who beholds, In the
harmony of our federative system, the only
guarantee of our political health and happi
ness ; ami who views, in the dissolution of
its parts, the greatest curse that ever afflict'd
a nation. AVV have lie fori, us nearly all the
papers which notice tlie manner in which
the day was celebrated, from Savannah to
Boston. The toasts touch very gently upon
controverted math.net subjects—except that
of the Tariff, which, in a few instances, is
roughly handled by its opponents. The
Missouri Question is alluded In “ more in
sorrow than iu anger ;” mid the National
Bank has escaped wonderfully, except in
J’rince Georgu’s County, where it received
no quarter. Generally speakeing, it w ould

It was somewhat surprising that De
witt Clinton should have succeeded in his
election with a vast majority ofthe peo
ple against him ; hut it appears that he
rested all Ids hopes on tiie cxettions of
his cabinet in Columbia coutity. It has
been said that one of the junta Imd re
ceived $20,000 ofthe money taken from
the i’lucuix hank by the late cashier.—
We now learn, tiiat the Columbia junta
have touched near Hfty Thousand l)ol-
lars of Ileal money, which we do not ven
ture much in saving was used for Elec
tioneering purposes ! in this v.aV tlie

On Tuesday evening last, being present at
the first performance ol'the Thespian Socie
ty in the new Theatre of this place, I witnes
sed w ith no common degree of interest and
pleasure, the representation of Kotzebue*'
celebrated drama ol “ the Stranger,” whirl
was sncceded by the popular farce of “ The
Village Lawyer.” The scenery was taste
fully and elegantly arranged ; the dresses
w ere well chosen and appropriate; the ra->t
of the characters was judicious ; and tin
whole created a stage effect that far surpassed
expectation.
Where, all was so well done, it might per-
haps be deemed impropri to particularize

The steam ship Robert Fulton, which
sailed from this port on the 2d inst. on
her second voyage to N. Orleans, we are
sorry to state, has returned to this port,
consequence of an ncciJent of her
machinery, which occurred un the Cth
day out, when within a few hours run of
Havana. While tinder full head way, at
the rate of 0 miles an hour, the pinion
wheel gave way, and the engineer, un
fortunately, immediately stopped the eu-
gine, by which sudden counteraction the
shaft of the balance wheel was broken
and carried with it tho head beam ofthe
engine. It being difficult to repair this
accident at liavaaa or New-Orlcan«, it
