Another Revolutionary Patriot Gone I
■—John M’Kinstry, aged 80. died in
the town of Livingston, Netv-York, on
Sunday last. At >he first call of his
country, (says the Hudson Whig) lie en
gaged in her service ; and from the me
morable battle of Bunker’s Hill, with
uhi- h her sanguinary trials began, down
to the surrender of Cornwallis at York-
town, with which they gloriously ended,
his zealous and efficient support was
given to the cause of freedom. He had
been repeatedly and severely wounded ;
and some of the enemy's balls lie has
borne with him to the tomb in whim his
remains are deposited. As a partisan
officer he was particularly distinguished;
and in many instances he showed, that
to a daring spirit of gallantry, (which
was perhaps, his most peculiar charac
teristic) lie added the skill and conduct
so seldom attained, and vet so indispen
sable to the formation of that character.
One incident, in the life of tins veter
an. is too remarkable to he passed slight
ly over. At the battle of the Cedars,
(30 miles above Montreal, on the St.
Lawrence.) Cul. M’Kinstry, then siCapt.
in Col. Paterson’s regt. nf continental
troops, was twice wounded and taken
prisoner by the Indians. The intre
pidity ofCapt. M'Kinstry, as a partisan
officer, to which we have alluded above,
had rendered him alike the object of
their fears, and of their unforgiving re
sentment. The British officers were
ton much in dread of their savage allies,
on account of their vnst superiority of
numbers, to risk an interposition of their
authority to prevent the horrid sacrifice
they saw preparing : Already had the
victim been hound to the tree, and sur
rounded by the faggots intended for hi*
Immolation—hope had fled—and in the
agony of despair he had uttered that ntv-
stic appeal which the brotherhood of
masons never disregard—when, as if
Heaven had interposed for Ins preserva
tion, the warrior Bruiull, understood him
ami saved him.
Brandt had been educated in Europe ;
and had there been initiated iuto the
mysteries of free-masonty. The advan
tages of education, £c his native strength
of mind, gave him an ascendancy over
the uncultivated sons of the forest, that
fetv other chiefs possessed. Situated
ns he was, the impending danger of a
brother, must have forcibly brought in
mind his obligation to support him in
the time of peril. His utmost endea
vors were accordingly used, and they
were happily successful, in obtaining for
him an immediate respite, and an c-
Ventnal ransom.
After the settlement of peace, he re
tired to the cultivation of his farm in the
vicinity of this city, sustaining an un
blemished reputation, and enjoying the
reward of Ids toils and sufferings, in the
respect which was accorded, as well to
the rectitude of his private life, as to
the patriotic scrvicea he had rendered
liis country.
His remains were yesterday consigned
to the tomb ; and it is needless to say
that an immense concourse of people
were present to pay the last sad duties
to one so honored nnd esteemed.
His funeral obsequies were conducted
by the Hudson Lodge ; and there was a
peculiar fitness—an impressive solemni
ty—in performing the masonic rites of
sepulture for a brother whose connex
ion with the order had once saved him
from an untimely death—had given him
back as an ornament to society for more
than forty years—and afforded a proof
undeniable of the excellency ofthe in
etitution.

PROFESSOR FISHER.
Seldom has public sympathy been so
much awakened as hy the late intelli
gence of the lo-s of (lie parkent ship
Al’>ion. The melancholy particulars of
the shipwreck, and the destruction of
nearly (iffy lives cannot he contemplated
w ithout strong emotion. The combina
tion of affecting circumstances, in the
bi-tory of mo=t of the unhappy individ
uals, gives to the event its peculiarly
afflicting character. But while rela
tions-o r every name mourn the unhappy
f t • r.f those whom their hopes were
suspended, the fi tends of Science are cal
led to lament the hiss of one of her
brightest ornaments in the death of Pro
fessor Fisder. of Yale College.
In giving a brief notice of ihis interes
ting individual, my object is not to eu
logize the deaJ^bul to inform the living.
The noiseless manner in which men of
real science pursue their researches,
usually screens them from the immedi
ate notice of the public eye, until age
sanctions the claims of genius. But to
men in our own country capable ol ap
preciating the talents ut -Professor Fish
er, and to some ofthe first philosophers
of Europe, he was already known, and
hy them was regarded as a rising lu
minary, destined to shed peculiar lustre
upon the scientific character of our coun
try.
Professor Fishert»ally began to give
indications of (hose talents necessary for
the station which he lately tilled ; and
while a student in College was eminent
ly distinguished for lus devotion to the
exact sciences. So high was the reputa
tion ho secured, that in the b'Jd year of
liis age, the Corporation of Yale College,
appointed him Adjunct Professor of.Ma
thematics and Natural Philosophy ; and
in two years he was promoted to the
sole Professorship in the same depart
ment. When it is considered, that in
this branch of Science, Yule College has
long maintained a dwtingushed place, it
must be obvious that liis station was one
of peculiar responsibility. But though
so young, lie fully equalled the high ex
pectations of his friends, and justified the
confidence of those vvlio had elevated
him to tlie station.
His duties, us an associate governor
of the College, he discharged wiili ex
emplary fidelity—nor will it be regarded
as any disparagement to his highly in
spected associates to say, that he per
sonally gave stability to the government
ol the institution. Besides supertending
tlie instruction in his department, he
prepared in the short period of his Pro
fessorship, a course of written lectures
oo the various branches of Natural Phi
losophy, which have been rarely surpas
sed for clearness of investigation, and ac
curacy of reasoning.
He was possessed of an amiable dispo
sition, and a perfect simplicity of char
acter, nnd with all his attention to liis
favorite studies, had amassed an unusual
fund of general knowledge.
Mich was Professor Fi.-heratthe ear
ly age of 27, the boast of the institution
with which He tvas connected. Uniting
liis own pleasure and improvement, with
the interest of fhe College, he formed
the purpose of spending the present
year in Europe. It was deemed neces
sary to supply pome dt tioiency in the ap
paratus ofthe College ; and by personal
ly attending to this, ho could at the same
lime enjoy the pleasure of intercourse
with (hose whose pursuits were allied
to liis own, and whose works had became
his study—1 mean especially the distin
guished mathematical writers of France.
He could also reap the benefit of a tem
porary cessation from his arduous du
ties. But liis friends rejoiced at this
purpose, not for his own sake merely,
but because (hey were well assured he
would add to the reputation of his Col
lege and of his country.
Furnishing with every facility for ma
king liis resilience abroad agreeable, mid
attend with the best w ishes of numer
ous friends, lie embarked for Liverpool
in the Altion on the 1st of April—It
seemed that a ship, freighted with so ma
ny hopes, would certainly he spared to
reach her destined haven ; but tier fate
is too well known, with that ofthe sub
ject of tins notice, who perished, with
almost every other person on board, in
a terrible storm on Jive const of Ireland.
I lie designs of Providence rarely ap
pear to us involved in deeper mystery,
and rarely are we reminded in so affec
ting a manner ofthe unsearchable nature
of those councils hy which the universe
is governed.
VIEW OF TEXAS.
A gentleman who has lately been on
an exploring tour in the Province of
1’exas, passed through this place a few
days ago, and has communicated to us the
following interesting facts relative to the
situation of that country.
He represents the condition of the
people as miserable in tlie extreme, in
dustry is scarcely known among them ;
and business of every discretion at a
stand. Although possessed of one of
the finest & most fertile portions ofthe
globe, yet agriculture is entirely neglect
ed, and, to a person accustomed to ci
vilized life, they present it picture liter
ally bordering on starvation ; bread
stuffs arc very scarce and dear, ami, like
the natives of the forest, they depend
almost entirely on the chase for a scanty
subsistence. At St. Antonio, a place
which has once been a wealthy and po
pulous city, nothing hut wretchedness
was visible. That pi ice is garrisoned bv
about 75 soldiers, who were neatly des
titute of ammunition. The peojda of
(hat place have once been in a state ease
and affluence, but in consequence ofthe
soldiers of Spanish and Republican ar
mies having been quartered on, and pil
laging them, for several years, together
with (heir own indolence, they arc now-
reduced to the most abject state of po
verty. i his remark is aiso applicable
to La Badia and the other principal posts
w hich our informant visited.
Tlie Spaniards appeared totally igno
rant ot the affairs ot their own country,
or even of the province in which they
resided. Neither the Governor, or any
of the Spanish officers, knew what go
vernment they were under—all was con
jecture ami report. The people of
Mexico, and the provinces were much
divided into political parties : one party
was in favour ot calling a member ofthe
family of the King of Spain for their
King—and another was for chusing a
king Irom among themselves—some
were far an absolute, and others for a
limited, monarchy—some for an aristoc-
ratica!. and others for a republican, go-
vertt ment. But it tvas the genet id wish
of all, that tlivir goveitiutcnl should he
independent ot Spam.
Our iiilbriiiant vi-itoj Mr. Austin's
settlement, near the mouth nf the Colo
rado, and spent con-idei able time in ex
ploring tlie country in the neighborhood,
of which ho speaks very favorably. He
represents the settlement as populating
very fast ; two or three hundred sc;.let-
had already arrived, iiicRdiug several
f,indies, upwards of lOOyofw.ltom would
maUk crops tin* seaertb ' V Afcir Mtua-
li-ou,aiowuvor, was not « very pleasant
one at the time our informant left there,
and for a considerable time before ; they
wore entirely destitute of breadstuff*,
(indeed, it was ever doubtful whether
they would he able o procure corn t -
nough for seed) and vote under the ne
cessity of subsisting oil venison, wild
turkies, Nc. of which they found an n-
bundaiice. The iiiffut of settlers wits
so great in that part of he country, that
i scarcity ol provisions is looked fur
next winter. A vessel (tom N. Orleans
had been expected for a long time up
the Colorado, with provisions nnd sup
plies for the settlement—’.nit it had been
ascertained that she had mistook the
mouth ofthe lirassos for the Colorado,
and attempted to ascend that river, but
not finding a sufficient depth of water to
cross the bar, she put hack to New-Or-
leans. On her arrival there, the cap
tain described the mouth ofddve river
which he had attempted to ascend, when
h:s mistake was discovered. The v<s
sel was then put under the command ol
another captain, who was better ac
quainted with the coast, and immediately
despatched to the relief of the settle
ment, and just as our informant left
there, news of her being on the coast,
and near the Colorado, was received.
Some doubts existed as to the extent of
the privileges which would he allow
ed to the settlers in Mr. Austin’s grant.
I he Governor of St. Antonio was very-
friendly to Mr. Austin, and rendered
him every assistance in his power, but
said lie expected orders from the Mexi
can government, to permit no more than
300 families to settle in the grant, bring
the number originally stipulated for—
and that they must all he Catholics. Mr.
Austin had gone to the city jof Mexico,
for explanations on this and other sub
jects relative to liis grant.

LATEST l-'itOM FURORE
Nevv-York, June I I.
By the Packet Paottica, front Liverpool,
which sailed on the 8th ol May, we have re
ceived London papers tu I lie evening ol tlie
tilh and Liverpool to the tllli of May, inclu
sive. We liave only time to glance over
them liasti y, and give a brij’s-rye view ui
their coments.
A mail from Hamburg, one from Holland,
one from Flanders, and one from France,
reached London on Uie titli May. T e
complexion ofthe accounts by tlicse mails,
observes that a London paper, is still nf a
decidedly pacific nature ; nut the smallest
fear of rupture between Russia and Turkey
seems to exist in tile minds ol intelligent tnen
in the great cities ofthe continent
The ucounls from Ireland represent that
the country is returning to habits of tran
quility and order, and that Luid Wellesley
lias displayed mercy as well as rrgnr. He
llas respi.ed thirteen wretches that were
sentenced to death at Limerick. The pa
pers give a melancholy pictuic ofthe situa
tion of tlie poor. A meeting was to have
been Indd in London on the 7th of May, for
the purpose ol taking measures to relieve the
starving population of Ireland, and subscrip
tions bad been opened in several other cities
for the same humane object.
Paris dates to the 4th of May had reached
London. Upon the question of war be-
tween Russia and Turkey they are remarka
bly silent. A letter front Marseilles of the
mil April slates, that the intelligence of an
insurrection of the Greeks in the Ionian
Isles against the English high commissioner
is confirmed.
A Copenhagen article of April 27, says,
“ in the memory of man there was never so
much damage done by storms as in the last
winter. It is calculated that about 2,000
ships and 20,000 men have perished on tlie
severely coasts of Europe, of which 160 ships
and 2,r»00 men ware lost on the Danish coast
alone.”
An article from Alexandria of March 20tli
states that the Turkish fleet had arrived
there after having landed troops at Mahon
ami Patras. The greater part of the ships
sailed into the harbour, while a violent storm
arose ; the larger vessels anchored in the
new harbour, hut scarcely had the while
fleet entered, when the fury of the storm
increased, and did great damage.
Vienna, April 21).
For some time past it lias been observed,
that the French ambassador, the marquis of
Caratnan, has very frequent oouferi necs w itb
prince Mctternicli, and with Baron Sturmcr,
who is director nf the chancery of foreign
affairs ; it is even reported that some notes
have passed between them. The attention
of the public is much excited by these nego
tiations between tlie cabinet ofthe Tuilleries
nnd ours.
Liverpool, May 2.
Some sensation has been excited to-day,
by accounts received from London, stating
tlut ministers had determined to increase the
duly on cotton after the 51 h of July, there
can ho no doubt but there will he some
change, and the more general belief is, that
it will fixed at Id per lb. Other accounts
say it is proposed to make it 2d, And allow a
drawback on the exportation ol'inanufacturd
articles. We do not find that these accounts
have produced any change in the market,
some of the holders are less anxious tn sel(
arid others have withdrawn their cotton from
the market ; but buyers find no difficulty in
making their purchases at the currency of
yesterday. 4
Since the 25d ultimo, the date of our last
respects, inert* business fins biH-n doiii"- in
our cotton market, but without any change
tn prices, there certainly is'nut any improve-
ment, and we believe, in some instance, a
trifling reduction has been submitted tn hy
holders. The sales last week amounted to
about 0800 bales ; of which 62oo were up
lands ; and thus far in the present week
they have been to a proportionate extent.

There was a report at Pali" on the 2d "f
May, that a Spanish force was forming in
Arragoit and ( ulalouin, of uif.iiitaiy, cavalry
and arlilli-rv, “equal to that of the Flench
Cordon.”
The French legislative body had closed
on the doth of May, to meet again the fill of

A Paris paper remarks, that there is no
news of an authentic character respecting
Turkey and Russia,
The pruvimial government of Mexico

lie had arrived at Hamburg.
Bell’s Messenger of tin Uth of M <y says

acquiescence in the proposals submitted by

of peace. The nature of these proposal-
was not known, lint it is stated that couriers

AMERICA N IN l) E P E N DI fi N ( E.
In the British Mouse of Commons on the
1st of Ab.y, Sir J. Mackintosh enquired in
the Marquis of Londonderry whether Ins
Majnsly’s Government had formally ri fog
nized tin* Independent Republics which had
been established in that portion of Sooth
America which formerly belonged to Spain;
nr whether that country had entered into
any regular intercourse or rnrretqmndcurt
with them, which would imply such a re
cognition ; and if not, whether it was in
the contemplation of the Government to do
either ?
The Marquis replied that the British go
vernment had not recognized the independ
ence, but that in whatever communication
the British government had had with them,
they had been treated ns governments dt
facto. His Lordship further remarked—
w<* looked upon the parties at war in that
quarter of the world as belligerents ; vve re-
sprcled their rights as such ; and our naval
force, in the adjoining seas, did nut inter
fore with their block de. As to eommereial
intercourse with them, it would b, found
to bo provided for by the hi it of his right
hoo. friend (Mr. F. Robinson) on the sub
ject of Foreign trade."
Mr. J. Mackintosh said, it w .s not his in
tention to proceed, or call for any general
statement on the subject of the political
situation of these Stales. It was known
that South America had been for a long
time divided hy parties, in a state of civil
war; and during that time, the rights of
each party to the possessions they then oc
cupied was not interfered with. But the
U. S. were about to recognize the indepen
dence—a communication to tba 1 . effect hav
ing been maileto Congress. This was unim
portant consideration tz deserved attention.
The Marquis of Londonderry said, these
matters were pressed upon Government too
soon, lie had riot beared that the United
Stales had recognized tlie independence of j
those governments, hut he had hoard t int a
measure of this nature had been recom
mended to the Legislature of the United
States, upon which it had nut yet decided.
—He perceived that Honorable Members
opposite were too ready to catch at reports
or rumors, and to found questions regarding
them which were only calculated to embar
rass the government.
Sir J. Mackintosh said, he did not wish to
ho misunderstood. He had not said that the
Government ofthe United States had re
cognized the independence of the Govern
ments of South America, hut that they al
most recognized them, having a measure ot
that nature proposed hy their President, the
assent to which might very probably be
brought hy the next packet from America.
Here the conversation dropped.
don Sun of the 4th, mentions that L
Londonderry had signed a treaty with Ru
and Austria on (he subject of Turkey ;
it was moreover reported that a triple .
•lore had been formed between Engli
Rnssa and Austria, and to which I’m
had consented to heroine a p-rtv. ’
throe powers had divided aim ng th
selves the Turkish possessions in Euri
reserving a portion for the erection r
Greek state. England was to have sev
ports m the Arclicpelago, and likewise
trinto and Prevesa in Albania. Austri
to have annexed to her dominions Bos
Scrvia, and some other districts. Ru-si

FROM VALPARAISO.
We have been favored with the pp
sal of o letter from an officer on bo
the Franklin 74. dated at Valparaiso
11th of Februiuyt, and tn the follow
pnragntphs have endeavored to give (he
writer’s ideas on several subject* :
In speaking of the 'Franklin, lie says
that she is crowded with visitors Irom
morning to night, and excites uncommon
admiration. The ship was in fine order,
and after noticing the compliments paid
hy some visitors, he observes, “ 1 re
turned (Imiiks for the romplitnenls ol
ft tends for whom we felt a deep interest,
and you cannot imagine tlie enthusiasm
which animated their countenances when
I closed by observing that tho North and
(South Americans were politically and
geographically brothers mid sisters; and
that it gave os great pleasure that their
visits afforded an opportunity of more
closely uniting the bonds of friendship."
The writer next speaks of having (lin
ed, together with the other officers of
(he Franklin, on board the British sloop
of war Blossom. The compliment was
reciprocated hy the American officers.
"They seemed much disposed," says lie,
' to cultivate good fellowship and good
feeling, and they meet a corresponding
disposition on our part. They speak
without reserve on the propriety of a-
voiding every thing calculated to excite
national feelings and prejudices ; and 1
trust this good beginning may have a
good end. In truth I neversatv.so much
unrestrained cordiality between English
men and Americans, and 1 must do them
the justice, to mid, that they are gentle
men In the fullest sense ofthe word."
The season of the year was unfavora
ble to seeing Chili to advantage, as the
luxuriance of the vegetable kingdom
prevailed during the rainy season of w in
ter ; in a few months they expert to see
the parched and apparently barren hills
“ arrayed in all the pomp and glory of
1‘ Iota’s gay est colors." The wheat crop
had been cul short bv insects.
Ol the political Mate of the country,
the writer says little, hut observes that
the Chilians appear to he united in their
detestation ofthe Spanish despotism, and
ready to sacrifice their lives in resisting
their old masters. “ Indeed,’’ says he,
“ in this they are romantically patriotic,
and brave to indiscretion ; hut (her ru-
I rs it is to be feared, are destitute ol
h-interested patriotism, and the popu
lace too ignorant to perceive that n
hango fiom foreign despotism to domes
tic tyranny is not calculated to improve
their condition.
Some difficulty , it appears, existed be-
‘ween Lord Cochrane and General Sari
Martin. Reports unfavorable to the hit
'er were in circulation, and secli epithets
" *■ selfish,” “ cruel,” “ detestable."
“ villain,” arid “ plunderer,” were up
plied to him. The Chilians rejoiced
that Cochrane was appropriating to liis
own purpose $500,000 of tho sum which ,
Sun Martin entrust, d to liis « fe keeping j l,as certainly played’nil eqoirocal p

statesmen in Congress. As far as vve (*n
learn, the manufacturers in this part of the
country, are doing exceedingly well. They
have enough to do. and their gauds, especi
ally cottons, command a ready and profita
ble market. Tills is as it should lie. Let
our manufacturing establishments grow up of
themselves, without giving them a monopo

ests, but at the same time affording them all
necessary and reasonable protection, ami
they will stand upon a sure foundation, and
contribute essentially to the wealth and in
dependence of the country.
We accidentally dropped into Ware-house
of the American Cimrnission Company the
other day, and our attention was called to a
new kind of manufacture. It is a coarse
cloth of cotton and wool, designed as a sub
stitute fur the article known hy the name
of .\tgro (loth, and heretofore imported
for clothing the slaves of the southern state*.
(),i examining tho nilirlc, vve had mi doubt
that it would answer every purpose for
which it is intended. But such i-, by no
means mir opinion alone. A consideiahle
quantity uf_ the chilli has been sent to the
smith for trial ; and we have now before ns
two letters upon the subject, mie from a
mercantile house at Blakely, and anulhci
from the Hon. Judge T. it, of Claiborne,
Alabama, formerly a senator in Congress
from Georgia. Tie* first letter says—“ for
the benefit of the makers of the cloth, we
have sent samples of it tn several . f'our
most wealthy and influential planters, amt
have the satisfaction to say, that they ttav,
invariably approved of it.. VTfi* have on
doubt hut yon will have a ronsiderjilile de
mand from this state, as well as from tin-
slave states generally.” Judge Tail, after
stating that he has had some of the cloth
made up for liis slaves on trial, observes
“ I have no doubt hut this clntu is suoerior
in every respect for negro clothing tim ing
the winter, to English pianos. It will wfi*-
