me, that a spirit of outrage, winch has

“ Gentlemen of the House of Commons.
“It is very gratifying to me to ho a-
ble to inform you, that during the last
year the revenue lias exceeded that ol
the preceding, and appears to be in a
course of progressive improvement. I
have directed the estimates of the cur
rent year to be laid before you. They
have been framed with every attention
to economy which the circumstances of
the country will permit; and it w ill be
satisfactory to you to learn, that I have
been able to make a large reduction in
our annual expenditure, particularly in
uur naval an,l military establishments.
“ My Lords and Gentlemen.
“ 1 have the greatest pleasure in ac
quainting you, that a considerable im
provement lias taken place in the course
of the last year in the commerce and
manufactures of the United Kingdom,
and that 1 can now state them to be, in
(heir important branches, in a very flour
ishing condition. 1 must at the same
time deeply regret the depressed state ol
the agricultural interest. The condition
of an interest so essentially connected
with the prosperity of the country will,
of course, attract vour early attention ;
and 1 have the fullest reliance on your
wisdom in the consideration of this im
portant Bul.j •• t. 1 on persuaded, that
in whatever measures .0,1 (nay adopt,
v->o will hear constantly in mind, that in
the maintenance , four public credit, all

equally involved ; am! that it is by n
steady adherence to that principle that
we have attained, and can al ne expect
to preserve. r:r iti-h station amongst the

the Ctiracoa (.'ouraiit to the Sd ul March.
Capt. lloiu ne informs us, that it was report-
, ,1 at (tnraena an expeditum had -ailed Irum

VVe can liardlv suppose that the royalists,
who are so critically situated, could think ol
fitting not expeditions to any quarter, 1 liev
find it difficult to retain their present footing
hy acting on the defensive.
'Accounts received from Puerto (..abcllo,
'tale that gen. Morales left that place on Sa
turday last, in the Hercules brig nf war, with
about 125 men, principally officers and non
commissioned ollicers, to join a division ot
troop, at Chicliialhicbi. Subsequent ac
counts from the const represent that the g.^
nera! had landed at the above place—anil
that the Hercules had sailed on her return
to Puerto Cabello.
Cen. LaTorre.it is said, lias been appmnt-
lor that island. Gen. Morales succeeds to
the chief military command in Venezuela.
Arrivals from Santo Domingo bring ac
counts of the whole of the slave population
of Spanish Santo Domingo having been
emancipated Nothing less could have been
expected from the political change which so
lately took place in that territory, it is in
perfect conformity with the constitution of
Haytl.
Seven piratical vessels have been taken In
the French emitters and sent to Martinique
The Columbian rruizer Josefa lias had an
engagement with the Spanish sclir Pancliita,
in which the latter had her mainmast carri
edaway by a shot. She had gone to Porto
lllco to repair, arid take in a cargo of cocoa
for Cadiz. A considerable number were
killed and wounded on both sidi'9.
The Josefa, ive understand, had taken a
valuable Spanish selir. from Porto Rico, a
few hours previous to her rencounter with
tile I’ane.liila; and but from the circum
stance of the latter vessel losing Imr mast, it
was the intention of her commander to make
every effort to retake (lie captured schooner.

information is received :
Porto Cavello was declared in a slate nf

Colombian brig President, rapt. Morgridgr,
went down to enforce it on the 21st arid
w as snon to he followed hy the Fleeheras, Ji
joined by a squadron expected from Mara-
cav bo.
A lew days before sailing, it ivas reported
in Cameras the Royalists had evacuated
Coco, and were on their retreat toward-
Porto Cabello, in front of which place tin
position of the patriot army had been so al
tered as to intercept them, should they
attempt to enter that fortress. There was
an affair of outposts on the 2lith of Februa
ry, in which the royalists were defeated with
the loss of some prisoners.
Intelligence had been received from Guay
aquil as late as the .‘list December; from
Lima to the 7th November; and from San

102.000 square miles.
It contains many beautiful navigable

As the session of Congress advances, its
business becomes important. There, was
yesterday introduced, hy the Naval Cron
nittee in the House of Representatives,!!
hill for permanently fixing the Naval Pence
Establishment, embracing provisions highly
interesting to that branch of the public ser
vice. The hill proposes that the number
and description of the principal ollicers shall
lie as follows :
One Rear Admiral ;
Five Commodores;

The question respecting ttie nckr.owledg
neat of Ihe independence of the nations of
>. America, has been determined in the aflir-
oitivcin the H. of Representatives, hy a vot.

iovy that llie same unanimity will lie found
the Senate, lint there is no doubt that tin
■te in that body " ill be decisively favora
i ■ to the measure.
We rejoice that, in this ease, the earnest
• commendation of the President, under
»o.l to he with the unanimous assent of his
flici.nl counsellors, has been sustained by i

HAMBURGH—THE NEW CITY.
About four months since, toe estab
lishment by an individual, ul a trading
town on this side of the Savannah Rivet,
which should arrest the passage of out
produce inlo the state ot Georgia, and
furnish it with a market in our own
state, was regarded as a chimerical illu
sion, even by those who anxiously de
sired that Ihe experiment ?ho .Ll suc
ceed. At the meeting nfthe Legisla
ture, members listened almost incredu
lously to the statement of what had been
lone by Mr. Shultz, and would never
have credited him, it he had only prem
ised to do wlutt he had already performed.
Convinced, however, ot the practical
utility and benefit nf Ins tin.h i taking,

£30,000, to be appropriated chiefly to
the erection nf now buildings in Ham
burgh,and $13, 000 of it to the purchase
of a steamboat, which should pass inland
between Hamburgh and Charleston.—
At the meeting of the Legislature, Ham
burgh contained 80 houses, & no ai rival
from that place was ever dreamed of by
those who publish our domestic news.
It is now three months since the Le
gislature adjourned—the tow n of Ham
burgh contains upwards of one hundred
buildings, and a steam boat, purchased
by Mr. Shultz, has already gone on her
third trip, with a full freight from
Charleston. Here is no visionary un
satisfactory speculation, no flattering but
deceitful project, but a real immediate
practical benefit, resulting from a wise
plan, executed almost in the moment ol
its conception. Can it lie doubled then
for a moment, that the enterprise of Mr.
Shultz deserves the encouragement ot
South Carolina ?—Charleston Courier.

JENMNG’S guns.
A curious invention in tire arms has
lately been completed by an ingenious
mechanic of this place, by the name of
Isaiah denning ; anil in point of impor
tance both lor public and private use, is
probably not equaled hy any invention
of the present age. It is a single barrel
and lock, stocked In the usual style, and
is perfectly simple, safe and convenient.

tended to fifteen, or even twenty—each
charge, being under as complete control
as a single charge in an ordinary gun :
and may lie tired in the space of two se
conds to a charge, or at longer intervals,
at the option of the possessor, with tin
same accuracy and force as any other
gun. The principle can he applied t
any musket, rifle, fowling piece or pis
tol, and can he made to lire from tw
to twelve times, without adding any tiling
to the incumbrance nfthe piece, cxcep
live or six ounces lo its weight. Thus,
the soldier is put in possession nf a gun,
out of which lie enn throw twelve or
fifteen charges at his enemy, at the com
nencement of an engagement, a. fast a

in possession of a simple gun, to loan
and fire single charges, like any nthc.
gun, with the advantage of its primim.

with lioMnr pislul?, containing five oi
six charge*, which can be used on horse-
liirk, with (lie same convenience as or
dinary pi-lols. The navy ran he fur

engagmcnls, and hoarding pistols, une
qualled by any thing in naval warfare.

from the usual pracliec on in Kins rep«#H- t
in sta ing, as he had done, that there was

of the repoit. An obvious objection \
such a proceeding was. that each member ol
the commil'.ec might fed himself called up
on to saj how tie had vot* d, if any one of ihe
conimith • di<l so. He hdieved, he said,
that lr- shoi'.d lie authorized in savior, tlial

attained hy moving Ins proposition in the
shape of a separate end distinct icdololiun,

The Speaker deprecating the debates
growing out of incidental queslinns, useless

is the report of a committer, and that a

Nothing, therefore, lint the report of the

Mr. B. adverted to the famous c&ho of the
Seminole War, in which a counter-report
