seemed to think we were too close in with the

! shaped his course rather to the southard and
eastward, ami probably proceeding too far in
; this direction led to the unfortunate result
which happened. Sunday morning, about!
one o’clock, the land was distinctly seen!
close aboard, ami then every effort was made!
to wear the ship off, which unluckily did!
not succeed, as there was a strong tide set-'
ting, and ills generally imagined the captain)
mistook the lights lie observed. On finding,'
however the perilous circumstances of our
(situation, he used every means his skill sug
gested to extricate us. lie caused the mizeo!
mast to be cutaway : but this did not relieve
us, as the ship seemed to be firmly fixed uni

two miles oil shore and as the cabin was fast]’
tilling with water, and the crew and passen-ii
jgers eager for their lives, about seven o’clock' l

our lives by swimming to the longboat. The

■ authenticated exploits, arc well worthy ot
1 being recorded.---From the great age and
superioi sagacity ol this bird, he had become

-1 proa h of every stranger, and Lading forih

t mauds tor a Uluislmas goose, or Ihe mid- I
: nigl't depredations of the Fox and Hie Foul- i
, mart had become so numerous, that the
ipoor old g inder was left without a sin

■ ploreti day and night by many a doleful and

, disappeared, to the great regret of the fann

. proved that they were all mistaken ; tor, '
t one morning as Mr. Craik was entering the i

1 c ackle, and immediately exclaimed, ‘ If the 1
old Stag had not been drowned, or worried, j
■ I could have sworn that that was his cry.’ ■
i| T’he call was immediately repeated, and on \
going out to the lawn, or on looking out at ]

■ gander, surrounded by a whole Hock of bon- !
jny lady geese, whose approach he was thus
'proudly announcing, and whose wings were ,
| still dripping with the Urine of that element
' through which he had taught them to pilot!
their way for a distance id' at least twelve [
or fifteen miles. This singular occurrence J
: naturally excited a good deal of interest, .
and alter making every inquiry, it appeared ]
that the gander had either been carried away
i by the force of the tide, or had voluntarily ]
swam to the opposite shore, where, landing 1
on some English farm, he immediately at- I
■ tached himself to one of the owner's geese,
and sojourned with her til! she had hatched ;
-a pretty numerous brood. At length, find- !
1 ing that he bad reared up another family to ;

-'the water, carrying with him his English!

The President elect is said to be in much
[ perplexity about his Cabinet. Notwithstand
f ing the countenance given a few months
> since to an Ex-Minister and the Speaker’s
opinion of Mr. Crawford’s health, that gen
tleman has been warmly solicited to retain
Iris post at the Tieasury. Hut he has declined
. the invitation. It may be, that not in
formed of the policy to be pursued by the
■ new administration, lie will not remain in a
i situation, where his exertions, single and un
supported, may fail to advance what he be
lieves to be the true interests of the’country.
Such a motive does him great honour; and
it is worthy of remark, that now the fretful
ness and malignity of the contest are over,
every tongue is employed in doing justice
to one of the purest statesmen, that has ever
jfigured in this or any other country. Mr. 1
{Adams is believed to be desirous oi' con ■'
!iating the friends both of Mr. Cravvfo
(Gen. Jackson, and Mr. Forsyth is nu a, .■
!ed for the Department of the Navy
(War. Mr. Southard stands in the 1
'the first, although there is a strong d;-., .i
--jtion to give him a furlough ; the Post
ter General would not refuse, the last and
■he lias “done some service” to the lucky
Candidate. Judge M’Cane is said to be
| tired of musing over mail contracts and dead
! letters, and Mr. J. W. lay lor—the quon
jdam speaker of Journal-blotting memory—
;is willing to undertake the task, uninviting . i
|as it is Gov. Dakuouh and Mr. CurveP \
have been talked of for the Treasury, and
Mr. Clay lias been asked to turn a deal ear
to Mr. Kkemeh’s insinuations, and to walk
[into the Office of State. It is supposed* he
will accept*a!lhoiigli by refusing he would
[have a fine opportunity of writing to the
President a long letter about disinterested
ness of conduct, in which might be made a
happy allusion to Caesar's wife. Mr. Web
ster is to he made Attorney General- -if he
will have it, of which there are some doubts,
and Mr. Wirt is to go to Mexico, or where
ever else it may please the President and
Fortune to send him. These Reader, are
some of the Rumours—volumes would not
contain all of them—that reach us throuHi
newspapers and letters—and from
we gather a belief that Mr. Adams is in
deed much puzzled, and that he has “ a
rough road” before him. The Senate will
convene on the fourth ol March, and will as
sist in making the appointments. We shall
-mon know therefore to whom (lie prizes in
'he Lottery of Offices ■■re distributed. Wo
have not learned that any thing has been of

GE.VKHAL HULL.

Most of our readers remamher Ike principal events of the dis
■isiro.pi campaign, to whn li this work relates, m: I tin decision of ' \
the co trt martini by which General 1 lull was tried. This officer
has always considered Ins ease as staadins; in a very unfair and
partial lit. lit before the public, and has at hist brou lit fon-'ud
what he deemsn correct detail ofull the ir .inactions partainin"
to hit connexion with the army. We have in di,position to take
any part in the controversy between General Hull and his option
<■■lls. nor to revive a subject, which, for -.ln- credit of the country
had better be ff.r-i.tti n th..n remembered; yet if we are to juiCe’
simply by the public documents collected and published in these
memoirs, we innsl draw the conclusion unequivocally, that he.
evas r. quin d by the genera,l government in do what it was moral'
ly and physically impossibic that he should no, that he was sur
rounded by difficulties which no human a,m y could conquer,
and, in short, whatever may have Us his'mistakes of jud-ment
in any particular movement, he deserved c t the unqualified cen
sure inflicted oh him by the court martial. The trial was evident
ly conducted without a lull knowledge „f ail the testimony in bis
favor; important documents in the public offices he could not
then obtain ; they are now published, an. throw new light on the
subject.
The precipitancy with which warwus declared, the total want
of preparation, and the deficiency of means, afford an apology no
doubt to the general government, for nut providing an immediate
and adequate defence for the n.-i-lli western frontier; but it is an
extremely hard case, lhai an „*c. r should suffer inconsequence
of the neglect of higher powers. G oeral Hull has no rh-hi to
complain, that his ord-rs were nut s nticiently clear and explicit
