'erry and Copt. Heath have at length eir dispute by a duel. They met on [ult. at 12 o’clock, on the Jersey shore dson, in the state of New-York, whore -y received the fire ot capt. Heath, turning it y when com. Decatur, the :om. P. stepped forward and declared . Perry hail coine to the ground with lation not to return the lire of captain proof of which he read a letter from to him, soliciting him to become his openly declaring his sentiments, and (com. Decatur) presumed the pftity as satisfied.” Capt. Heath, having his acquiescence in this opinion, and ury be had received from com. Perry, 1 tor, the parties returned to the city. The frigate Macedonian} which sailed from Boston the 20th ult. completely equipped for a 2 year’s cruise, was suddenly overtaken} on the 27th, by a tremenduous hurricane, which lasted about 15 hours, and left her a wreck, \Vith loss of mizen mast, and all the spars, except the tore and main mast, and tlmse badly sprung. The stern and quarter boats lost, with considerable other damage. The tempest is represented as indiscribably awful, beyond any thing iu the memory of the oldest seaman. The following persons have been elected mem bers of Congress from Pennsylvania : Messrs. Boden, Fullerton, Moore, Rogers, Ileister, Den nison, Murray, Hosseter, Hibsham, Wallace, Darlington and Gross.

The Legislature of the State of Connecticut, convened on the 8th inst. and upon counting the votes given by the people of that state on the question of adopting the Constitution recent ly submitted to them, it was found that they had adopted it by a small majority. The votes stood as follows: in favor of its adoption 13,918} a- gainst it 12,364, giving a majority of 1534. It is stated that the United States Branch Bank at Cincinnatti, Ohio, has called on the Juvenile depravity.—“ P>y reference to the cri minal calendar it will appear, that in the year 1813, one hundred and twenty-three boys of 17 years of age, and under, were confined in New gate only ; but in 1816, two hundred and forty- seven such children were found within the walls of tliaf prison, being just double the number dur ing a period of three years. In 1817, the list ol boys thus imprisoned, amounted to three hundred and fifty-nine. And when we add to these the numbers confined in other prisons ; those sum marily convicted for petty offences, by the Magis trates ; those tried at the Clerkemvell, VY est- ininsterand Southwark Sessions ; those who es cape detection; and those who through the leni ty of their prosecutorsare not brought to trial: the evil is enormous.” Between 5 aud 600 criminal s were supposed to be in confinement for trial, at the sessions at the Old Bailey, which was approaching. American Spider.—“ There exists in America an enormous spider, Which zoologist* now class in the subdivision of the mugales, and which is called avicularis, because its size (the body a- lone being an inch an a half long,) enables it to attack even small birds. M. Moreati de Loines has furnished a memoir on its manners, as observ ed by him at Martinique.—It spins no web but lodges in the crevices of the rocks, and throws irself with main force upon its prey ; it kills humming birds, fly birds, and small lizaids, taking special care to seize them by the nap of the neck, as though it knew they may be killed with the greatest ease. Its strong jaws seem to infuse, a poison into the wounds which they inllict. for such wounds are considered much ther banks for balance due the branch of about '; ior ® dangerous than they would be by their let, containing an impartial and stlc- of the late Indian war, is now pre- |the press at Nashville, in Tennessee iased to hear it}because it will ex- lear and comprehensible manner, the f general Jackson’s conduct, which lime tile general topic of discussion, ope and America.

The war in India continues with considerable severity, aud occasional loss on the English side. The generals Clausel and Lefebre Desnouette? arrived at Baltimore on the 6th ultimo from Al abama. — Crops—YY'e are told, (says the Nashville Cla rion,) that never since the settlement of-tnis state were there such bountiful crops of Indian corn, wheat, tobacco, Kc. as the late season produced ; and that tile prospect of price for that considered as surplus, is llattcring. No people in our state, are doing a better business than our planters. •8?u&ntnfl.-*-l'he 3pot on which Fort Claiborne stands was scarcely known to the white people, until the late Indian war—it is on tne banks of the Alabama, about 60 miles above Fort Stoddart. Two years ago there was but a single hut on the place where a town now stands, which is comput ed to contain 2700 inhabitants. Good news—JVo news.—There were arrivals yesterday at this port from Great Britain, France anti Ireland } but there is little ol what is called news—no wars, or even rUmors of wars—no moving incidents ot human calamity—no pleas ing and gratifying details of wide spread devas tation and distress. Crops are goud—the vintage is abundant—manufactures flourishing, aud the soldier rests from the bloody strife. It i3 true that the people generally are not governed after the manner of their choice, and the old corrupt systems continue to oppress. Something, how ever, has been done in the way of melioration. The philanthropist will rejoice at the glimmer ings of a happier era.—vY‘. T’. Columbian.

The trial and execution of Arbuthnot and Am- bristie, in Florida, continue to engross public at tention in Europe aud America. VVe learn, that the whole proceedings on the trial have been transmitted to the secretary of war, and copies of them sent to other members of the cabinet, and that there does not appear a doubt in the minds of those who have read them, of the cor rectness of the sentence of the coUrt martial. It is not probable that they will be promulgated until the meeting of congress, on the 16th inst. It is said that Ambristie acknowledged to the court that lie had been in arms with the Indians ; but justified his conduct on the ground of having hiar- ried an Indian woman, and having children bv her, whom it was his duty to defend $ that he ac knowledged the fairness of his (rial, and thanked the court for their kindness to him; and died like a soldier. It is also said that Arbuthnot’s letters confirm his connexion with the hostile Ins dians.—Boston Centinel.
