of other vcbbcIb were making proposals to the
same effect. It was said, and generally be*
lievcd, that tho expedition wos directed a*
gainst Mexico •, and that the landing would
be made at Campeachy with 5000 men; the
inhabitants of that placo being considered
friendly to tho Spanish government. Tho
troops would then entrench themselves, and
await the arrival of 20.000 men, who were
shortly expected from Old Spain.

Tbo opinion of the Circuit Court of the
District of Columbia, on the demurrer to the
last found indictment against T. Watkins,
was pronounced on the 24th ult. by Judge
Tbruston, who stilted that tho Court having
formed its opinion upon one of be various
grounds of objection taken to the indictment,
vit: that it did not contain the technical
words forge or counttrftil % said, that upon
ihat point the Court.was of opinion that the
indictment could not be sustained.
Judge Cranch expressed a different opin
ion upofl this point in the case, but tho Court
declined giving any opinion upon tho other
grounds of objection.
As soon as Judge Cranch had delivers
his reasons for dissent, ho suggested that
there was no necessity for him to go into the
decision of the Court as to tbe other points
which had been demurred to, tho demurror
having boon sustained by the other two
Judges on the point respecting which he had
dissented from them.
Mr. Key pressed the Court to go on to ex
press tho decision to which they hod arrived
in referrence to tbo other points, as he con
sidered the disclosure of their judgment in
full to be necessary for tbe guidance of tbe
counsel forth© United States.
Mr. Coze refused to admit tho propriety
of the Court becoming the instructor of tbe
prosecuting counsel.

Cranch in his refusal to deliver the judg

Mr. Swann then moved ti e Court\toin-
8trucl the Grand lory that the facts vn the

of forgery If the Jury believe tho fact* in
the last indictment to be true, they will then

Mr. Swann replied in the negative, but
insisted that the propriety of such course,

It appears now certain Ihat Parliament will

they will not starve in peace. The pressure
on the trading interests will continue, ami

of this country seem to be determined, to a

ihat tho doctrine of the President is support
ud by the highest authority. The doctrine
of "imperium in imperio? a sovereign State
within a sovereign Btate, is an absurdity in
terms. A short view oflcgislative and ju
dicinl acts will settle this point.
Tho articles of confederation proposed in
1777, and afterwards adopted by the States,
givo Congress the Power of‘‘regulating the
trado and managing all affairs with the In*
dians, not members of any of the States:
Provided that the legislative right of any
state within its own limits be not infringed
or violated Tho constitution of tbe United
States gives Congross tho power “to regu
late commerce with foreign cations and a-
mung the sevoral States, and with the Indian
tribes ”
Both tho old and new constitution of tho
State of New York expressly provido that
no contract made after October 14th, 1775
with the Indians in this State shall be valid,
unless made under the authority and with the
consent of tho legislature.”
In tho case pf the St. Regis Indians ys.
Dium (Johnsou's Rep. 127, 0.) tho supreme
court of this State decided that the plaintiffs
could not recover tho root of Drum, a white
man, who occupied tbo Indian lauds at a
stipulated rent, on the ground that tbe want
of legislative assent rendered tho contract
void,
Tho legislature of this State in April, 1012
passed an act to pardon Tomey Jemmy, an
Indian who had killed a squaw, by order of
the Sachems,for tho eupposed crime of witch*
craft. But the act expressly affirmed the
cognixanco of the State over all crimes and
offences committed by tbe Indians upon one
another within its’own limits and dented in
tho strongest terms (he right of tho Indians
in this Ftnto to try and punish one another for
crimes and offoncei of any sort committed
therein* . '
This is sufficient to 6how how the law
stands. The President and Congress have
not the power to prevent the states from en
forcing their laws upon their Indian inhabit

states seo fit to do .so.

following extract of a letter from St. Tbom-
aB, dated tbo 29th of May, which is of consi
derable importance to ship owners:—1“ We
have not yet been able to procure a vessel, so
difficult in it to find any. Every house hero
have iim"‘p or less orders from St. Croix and
Potto ,Ricu, and as eoon as an American ap
peals she is immediately taken up for Europe
or the United Slates, at higher rates of freight
th»o for many venrs paBt. We thiiric jt
would be rendering a service to ship owner*
to acquaint them of this fact through the
newspapers, that they may direct tbeir cap*
tains trading in this neighborhood, and who
often return home in ballast to call off this
harbor They need not come to anchor, but
stand off and on. and come ashore in the
ship’s boat The expense is less thAn two
d 'liars. We a mild not be understood ns re
commending to send large vessels, for &!
though there are occasionally good chances
for such vet there is not near the demand for*
them ns f«rtho«e of less than 200 tons ”

The Directors ofthe Pawtucket Bank have
published a statement in which they say “tbe
Buspension of specie payments has been ren
dered unavoidable by' the uncommon pecu
niary embarrassments which press so heavily
on this community, and the failure of some
of their heaviest manufacturers, moBt of whom
were largely connected with the Institution.
They confidently state their belief that the
redemption of (be bills of the Bank will be
resumed in a few days and continued, as fast
as collections can be made. The public may
bo assured that every liability of the Bank
will be ultimately paid, and that tho Stock
of the Bank is permanently secured by colla
teral securities and preferments in the as
signments, from the principal debtors to the
Bank.”
The same paper contains tho advertise
ments of sundry dealers in lottery tickets,
S ry’goods, &c* who are willing to take the
ills of tho bank at par.
The Capitol of Washington is finished, and
it is truly a magnificent structure. Rich
shrubbery has been well distributed iu the
great enclosure annexed to it^ and from the
noble terrace on the west sidej the prospect
includes the greater part of Washington and
Georgetown, and tbeir lofty and picturesque
envirous, and the river for some miles. This
scene, at the setting of the sun in fine wea
ther, with the profound stillness on every side
and the aspect ofthe splendid edifice, is,cal*
culated to make a deep impression on one
who paces the terrace at that hour. The
silence, the repose, the absence of all bustle,
from 0 peculiar contrast with the movement
of every bind, and in every quarter, and tho
din of tho logocracy, during the session of
INFANT SCHOOL.
UT A joint meeting of thfc viriting and ex*
cculive Committees of this Institution, will
be held THIS DAY, July 3d, at 10 o>*
