A company of Get man emigrant*, Cl

on Sunday nioniing the 18th insi. on tlieii
way to Ohio, The Philadelphia Union

w hat is most remarkable i*, they all make
up one family, consisting ot graiidlatheis,
grandmothers, sons, daughters, sons-in
law, daughters-in-law, grand-children,
&c. all connected. They appear to be
rich for settlers, having brought with
them from Germany, wagons, harness,
and various kinds|o( goods, wares and
merchandize, sufficient to till ten bag
gage wagons. In two of the wagons,
ft must however he observed, they found
room to deposit the children. The men
and women trudged on foot. The long
beards, broad britned hats, smell-clothc
fc: short c outs of the former, with the drug
get bedgowns and red under dress of the
latter, gave the whole groupe a singu
larity of aspect, such as was well calcu
lated to arrest the attention of the pas
sing traveller.

J two pairs of the largest king ot Geese,,
supposed to be the largest in the world,
weighing w hen fatted, 20 pounds, and it is
confidently asserted, some weigh SO pounds.
At first he was rather discouraged, as they
would not eat Indian corn, and the spring
following they sat early and both geese
reared but one to maturity. That one, how
ever, this spring, brought olT two litters,
and the two old pairs each brought up a

five old ones, all perfectly white and heal

highly gratified in viewing on the lawn di-
rrctly in front of his house, two beautiful
flocks of snowy whiteness—he has the com

A LOSING CONCERN.
A West India planter, writing to the
editor of the London Courier, states that
the amount of produce of an estate he
has a Montego Bay, Jamaica, was, last
year, 160 hhds. of sugar and 123 pun
cheons of rum. ' he sugar sold at Glas
gow for £6624, 12, 11, from which
£4261, II, 8, had to be deducted, for
duties and other charges, i he sum net
ted him £615. The total nett proceeds
of his crop was £2888, 1 1, 3, and the
total cxpence ol the plantation, £2808,
giving him eighty pounds one shilling and
three pence, for his labor and the inte
rest on a cap til which CO"! him thirty-five
thousand pounds sterling l—lt is this
state of things, which has produced the
recent modification ol the British trade

BRITISH NOlvniKUN- EXPEDITION.
Through the polileness of a gentleman
who bus just arrived in tliis city, from a
distant post in the Northwest territory, we
have received intelligence that the expi diU-
on which was fitted out hy direction ol the
Admiralty, in the summer of 1018, under
tile orders of Lieut. 1- rauklio, was on its ie-
turn to Hudson’s Bay.
The expedition advanced as near to the
Copper Mine River in the following year,
as the approaching winter would permit—
and in the spring of the last year, having
embarked the canoes which limy earned
with them, they descended that river until
it discharges itself into the Hyperborean, or
Frozen Ocean. The expedition then pro
ceeded in the execution of its ulterior ob
ject, namely, to explare the coast ur the 1 o-
|ar Sea, from the mouth of tile toppei
Mine River, round to Hudson’s Bay. I Ins,
however, it would appear, from the infur-
million weliRve bti'ii able to collect, it room
no further effect than hy surveying a lew
hundred miles of the coast to the noi thwaid
and eastward, the winter having set in, to
wards the taller end of August, with such
severity ns to oblige the party to return.
It does not appear from the arrangement
which was made, (that land-marks should
he placed either hy Capt. Parry or 1/umt.
Franklin, as they should first arrive at cer
tain points, as they proceeded,) tli.it the loi-
nier had reached so fur as the party of the
latter.
Several deaths had occurred, nnwng
whom was Mr. Wood, nine Canadians, and
one Esquimaux*
It is stated, from the observations made
in this expedition, the month of the Goppe.i
Mine River differs, hy several degrees of lati
tude from that laid down by Hearn.

SEA SERPENT,
Tlie Portland Gazettu of Tuesday last,
states, that “ several gentlemen at Nubaut
have recently had a distant view of this ce
lebrated monster of the deep, whose peri
odical return is now ascertained. Since
which he has been seen every day by differ
ent individuals of the highest respectability
„nd we hear a let tor has been received in
town describing the whole of his appear
unee.” .
It appears, from a communication to the
editors of the Boston Centinei, that thn vi
sits of tlie Sea Serpent to the eastward are
not of recent date. The. following is an ex
tract from a Boston paper, dated “ Sept.
8th. 1790:—During the last week was seen
off Portsmouth, a Sea Serpent, which was
supposed to lie nearly too feet in length, as
it threw itself out of water 10 feet. It was
as big round as a barrel.”!

By the arrival of the James Monroe last
evening, in 30 days from Liverpo I, the Edi

lar files of English papers, containing Lou
don dates to the 1-tlli and Liverpool to the
Itttli of July, (inclusive,)—from the contents
of which we present uur readers with the
following summary :
GREAT BRITAIN
Mr. Lennard gave notice on the 1 —ill of
July in the House of Commons that he
would bring forward, on Tuesday, the 28d,
his contemplated motion relative to the
production of certain papers regarding the
intention of his Majesty’s government to re
cognize the independence of those republics
that had recently been erected in South
America.
A proclamation has been issued at the
Cape of Good Hope, by which foreign ves
ts are admitted, under certain restrictions,
to bond there their produce and manufac
tures. This place will probably become at
some future period the general depot be
tween India and ths; continents of Europe
and America.
The English papers abound with accounts
of the starvation that prevails among the
peasantry of Ireland, and of the subscrip
tions that have been made for their relief.
It is stated that I to, persons died of starva
tion and fever, in one perish of Mayo coun-
dmiug the ten days preceding the 10th

mgs of the Cortes are important, anU tlie ue-
hates have been conducted with a great ur-
c-icc of vehemence. It i" augured that they
will lead to a declaration of the indepen
dence of lltazil. . . ,
The committee to whom that subject had
been referred, declared in llltir report llial
an absolute union between the twnkmgnoinj
was impossible : they therefore proposed
“ that there s .all he in the kingdom ol Ur.i-

Assemblies of Cortes, one in each kingdom,
composed of representatives elected by I be
people in the manner prescribed by the con-
Mutton.” . , . .
Aflt*r t\v o days discussion, the further con-
sidcralion of the subject was postponed.

the proposition " as agreed to, that the (an

have been conducted with great persever

We have visited tlie Court once, and were
then highly gratified with their course of
proceedings. It at least seemed to manifest
