Rumors the most improbable suc
ceed each other with astonishing rapidi
ty since the arrival of a courier extra
ordinary coming from Paris. It has
been concluded from thence that the de
claration of war between France and
Spain hail taken place ; and some have
gone so fir as to announce the return of
the Minister Plenipotentiary of this
Court from Paris, and the departure of
M. the Count L igarde from hence.
“ According to these rumors, the
Spanish Envoy at Paris, having observed
too little delicacy towards the Cabinet
of Tuilleries on the subject of the cor
don of health, of the factious in Navarre,
ict. the French Government had taken
him at his word when he threatened to
quit that capital; which it is said he has
ultimately done. On the receipt of this
news, the Sp;«ni-*h Ministers repaired to
Ar.mj iez, and M. Lagardo has received
his letters dcconge. Yesterday he went
to see the King at Aranjuoz, to take
leave of his M jesty, and he is expec
ted immediately to repair to Paris.
“ This news has spread consternation
throughout the capital. Our atl iirs, al
ready in a lamentable condition, are ren
dered worse by this circumstance, which
does not contribute to make us either
contented or happy.”
The West India trade bill, was to have

some of the neighboring counties is very un
promising.—Enquirer.
“ I have never before witnessed sn poor a
prospect of a wheat crop as the upper coun
ties of this state, through which I have tra
velled, afford. I am confident, that Berk
ley, /Morgan, Hampshire, Frederick, Jeffer
son and Loudon will not yield the farmer
mire than one third of the usual quantity.
Complaints are pretty general from the
western counties of an almost total failure of
the wheat crop. 1 have heard with great
regret from authority not to be questioned,
that the prospect is not better through the
Valley from Potomac to the Tennessee line
—and the rye crop is even worse than the
wheat. The appearance of the wheat in the
rich counties of Washington and Frederick
in Maryland, is not better than those comi
ties mentioned on the Virginia side of the
river. I am sure the whole produce of llie
land from Frederictown in Maryland to
Washington City, as far as I could discover
from the stage road, will not lie sufficient to
defray the expense of cutting it.

NOTICE is hereby given to persons in
debted to the United States for public lands,
who were entitled to, but who did not avail
themselves of, any of the provisions of the
act of Congress “ for th" relief of the pur
chasers of the public lands prior to the 1st
of July, 1822,” passed on tho 2d day of
March, 1821, that, in pursuance of the pro
visions of an act of Congress, entitled “ An
act supplementary to an act, entitled “ An
act for the relief of tho purchasers of the
public lands pr or to tlit! !st day of July,
1320,” passed on the 201.i day of April,
1822, they are allowed to complete their
payments under the provisions of the afore
said act of the 2d March, 1821, agreeable to
the instructions and forms heretofore given.
The unpaid interest which shall have ac
crued on the debt before the 30th day of
September, 1821. is remitted.
In every case where the relief tendered by
the act is accepted, the original certificate of
the purchase is required to he surrendered
to the Register of the Land Office where the
land to ts purchased, on or before the 30th
day of September next.
In ease, of lost certificates, the party is re
quired to advertise the same nine times in a
public newspaper, and to file proof of their
loss in their stead, with his affidavit, before
a magistrate properly authenticated, that
surh certificates were never assigned by
him to any person or persons whomsoever.
Where the whole huih due. is paid on or
before the SOtli day of September next, a
deduction of 3' 1-2 per cent, will he allow

next, with the Register of the Land Office
where the land was purchased, a relinquish
ment in writing, to lie executed in the man
ner and form heretofore prescribed, which

The party relinquishing must pay to the
Register ami Receiver, respectively, fifty
cents for every tract relinquished to the Uni
ted States, Si fifteen cents to llie Register
for receiving, recording, and filing the relin
quishment.
When the party intends to avail himself
of relief by further credit, he must, un or be
fore the-iOtli day of September next;
tLT Wc hail with pleasure the return of our
dislinguidied fellow citizen, tile Hon. John For-

Dud.—The Essex (Salem) Register gives
as a report of the clay, an account of a duel,
said to have been fought, in that vicinity,
from which it appears that the parties fired
with muskets, at four paces, without injury
to either; owing, however, to the inter
ference of friends, a second meeting took
place, in which one of the seconds, was kil
led ! The misunderstanding originated in a
love affair.
A proclamation has hern issued by Go

According to reports from the adjacent
country, says the Trenton Federalist of
the 2Htti ult. and from various parts of
Pennsylvania, the appearance of the
growing wheat is very unpromising.—
Flie winter was severe in its effects, up

and the hessian fly has been very des

The foreign news given in to-day’s paper
is interesting, so far as regards tile question
of peace or war between Russia fa ihe. Porte.
The best informed journals of Europe had
professed to consider a rupture so inevitable,
that we had begun to look for intelligence of
the commencement of hostilities—hut all the
advices ju->t received concur in giving a much
more pacific aspect to trans-ntlantic allairs,
and it is even asserted now, in some of the
English papers, that the late Turkish note,
purporting to be an annunciation of the rea
sons of that government for rejecting the
Russian propositions, is an entire fabrication.
This is not probable—though the system of
fabrication and deception in every thing
which can affect stuck speculations, is carri
ed to such an extent in England, that it
throws more or less suspicion around their
relation of all circumstances in any manner
connected with the political affairs of the
continent.—Aaf. Intel.
The Governor of Cuba has issued a pro
clamation or notice, dated 13th May, in
which lie says, that he has observed, in the
newspapers of this country, a letter purport
ing to he written in Havanna, representing
the Island of Cuba as being in a state of trou
ble bordering on anarchy. The Governor,
repels the truth of this statement, in very se
vere language—calling the whole a not lions
falsehood, and declares the island to lie en
tirely tranquil and obedient to the constituti
onal government. Hu desires all strangers
and others not to entertain the least alarm
on account of such reports, and has directed
copies of his proclamation to be sent to all
Spanish Consuls and Agents in foreign coun
tries.
AMERICA AND RUSSIA.
The British prints (and among the rest our
old friend Gobbet) have all at once discover
ed, that there is much danger to lie appre
hended from an union of policy between the
. I with t ie Register of the Land Office where I Emperor Alexander and the United States
.ut was cxpectad to be got off the day i/ic land uas purchased, a declaration, in I— which is hereafter to be directed against
Britain. This is truly a perspective v ieiv — j
a speculation which quite excels those nl lliej
(£iinliipiics of I'aris and Germany in relation'
to the all',lira of Turkey and Gricce. Jt is
even superior to the delectable tale recently
told of llhj resuiruction of pour uld Aly,
whose head has been marvellously taken
from Iliu walls ofjlic seraglio and replaced
upon his shoulders (unless lie cames it un
der his arm, as we are told was sometimes
done in days of old) and w ho lias landed in
propria persona at Mahon! A fellowship
between American and Hussain ! This is
a “ mystification” indeed—one which wn
candidly < onfess wc know nothing of. The
follow ing from the Liverpool Mercury is one
of tho articles to which wc allude :
Speaking of Alexander, the Editor ob
serves, “ lie is in excellent fellowship with
the United States of America—and looking
w ith that jealousy which the present fashion-
aide mystification and intrigue of cabinets
demand, in the event of a war with England
by these joint powers, the maritime force
which they could unitedly launch upon tie
ocean might soon lie sufficient, if unprovided
for, lo shake Ihe firmness of that ascendency
which lias hitherto been the pride a,,d safe
guard cf our island, and Ihe pioneer of her
wealth and commerce. These are probabi
lities which England ought lo tie prepared
to resist, to the best of her present ability,
and the march of the Autocr.it towards the
Archipelago, would demand the policy of a
few ni' our floating batteries to lie commissi
oned to the Mediterranean, to compel him to
draw his horns within his own shell, nr abide
the consequence. At all events, his move
ments must he watched with a scrutinizing
eye—for, should he succeed against Tur
key. he may next fix his fangs upon a few of
his Christian neighbors—and, making him
self master of the half of Europe, the cry
might eventually he w ith the rest, “ suurc
qui pcul."—Georgian.
SCARCITY OF MONEY.
Money continues scarce, and the Banks
keep tln ir vaults as close, as the chest of a
miser—although they are not to blame for
this, and we learn with pleasure, are now ex
tending every possible facility. The Brok
ers congregate together in little groups of five
and six—genenm-ly lending their support to
the two only trees that yet stand to comfort
us with their grateful sltaib—while many a
rueful countenance hurries hy at ten minutes
before three. We have hitherto said nothing
upon this subject--hut it it is truly a serious
onu, and has aw akened much public feeling.
We are not well skilled in the mysteries
of Banking—but it does seem to us, that a
writer in the National Advocate has struck
the nail on the head—that much of the se
vere pressure which now exist, originates
from the manner of doing business, utul the
unjust and ill judged locution of the capital of
the Bank of the United St ties-—and the col
lection of nearly one half of the revenue of
the nation through one branch of the Bank.
It was recently stated on the floor of the
House of Representatives, by Mr. Ciunher-
leing, from this city, that the revenue col
looted at this port last year, was $ 7,200,000
—and he presumed that during the present
year, the revenue would be between uini
and ten millions, or equal to the half of tin
whole revenue of the United States. All
this must he paid through the Branch Bank
This operates most vvofully on the working
and trading part of the people, hy constant
ly keeping our own Banks in debt, and sub
ject to llie draining of specie at times the
the least expected, and at times when con
sequences the most serious are produced.

INTERESTING.
Any improvement which lessens an
existing evil must he desirable.
Mr. Shaw, of this city, has invented or
rather improved upon the mode of ex
ploring tire arms generally, by means so
simple, and at the same time so safe,
that it is next to impossible those acci
dents which so frequently happen can
take pi,ice where this improvement
adopted.
An involuntary discharge is impossi
ble, as the cork rests upon the primin';,
and locks it up securely, and no jar, or
catch of the trigger can produce any ef
fect. It is equally sure of lira in rainy
weather as well as on the dryest day,
water having no effect or power over it
whatever ; it produces no liro or smoke
at the. lock, and the object aimed at can
not escape it by any motion, however
quick by diving or otherwise. It is not
half so complicated as ihe common lock,
and cannot get out of order ; it has net
tlicr pan, flint, nor hammer, and can be
depended on in all weathers, never mis
sing. or hanging lire, though loaded, it is
remlerd in one second of time perfectly
harmless, and a child may play with it
with perfect safety.
