Extract of a letter from our of the. />ro prielon of the New-York Duihj Jldocrli-. sec in London. “ SVit.ii regard to (lie mails in England, i they are so Cue that a person may travel with lea* fatigue the distance of 2 )0 miles than 30 in America. The Me A 1 in- sys tem is spoken of in the high ’St terms. In travelling from Liverpool to London, 1 had opportunity to see the manner in wiii h the roads are made. M'lia l we call in New- Y .rk, paving stone, are termed pebble* in England, and It was id pebbles tb.it the iom Is were formerly made, and although these stones were 1 ml with great exactness, yet they made but a r >ugh roads coin par el with the present roods that are M Ml ami/. ■!. The plan < f Me.A I uni’/.ing is this. Tne old pare nents are taken up and the* stone broken into piece* (ro o toe &■/-•* ol a black walnut to that ol a hen’s egg. I'his "is I me by placing the stone in mii ill heaps, b dore coco of which *its a man or stout b *y with a loog handle to ••liable the break cr to leave the full sweep or play ol his arm. The stone thus broken are. pul in neaps at convenient distances all along me road to be used for making up and repairing them. The stone broken as nb we de-ermed, are laid to (die d *pili, of I 2 or 18 in In *, and although for awhile present, a r nigh surface to travel over, yet they soon be mi ■ - ound ’ J J *5 down and imbeded, and whenever a rut is made or any part pres ius an tioeven sur face, more stone is added until i!»•* whole assume* an even *url ce, an 1 be o.ning al most as hard and as smooth as a rock. Fre quent rain • prevent much dusi, from arisi ig. The same plan has been pursti ol with sour of the retired streets in Liverpool, London, &c. bull am clearly of opinion tit it these roads w old not answer in the busire*.* parts ol a commercial town, where the cmi t'tanl passing ol heavily loaded vehicles con tinually cause so great a pre sure. I like the manner of paving in London. Tory moke u-.e of -tone cut even about 18 incurs lung, and about 8 inches thick, i’iu* mikes a very compact, linn and even pive m. ot.and is very durable, and such s.reels can be kept cl tan wild half the expense ol those paved as ours are. I have not made a ral’Oil i.tion ol the cosl, but I believe that N ;sv i >• k might be pave 1 in lids manner with little more expense than u o i our pre sent plan ; and if we take into co *i,(eni tion durability and co ivemence, 1 should think it would be cheaper. I have had an opportunity of witnessing thv‘ mode ol (ravelling on rail vays, anil Ii ive been much pleased with the simplicity ol construction, and (he great ease with wineo tm nense load* ate conveye I. I iiave rmt seen any ol the carriage* pr ip.diu I by sleatti on these rail ways yet, Tnose in a i saw were Inwn ny horses. In some in stances one horse would draw six wagons filled wuia coal, the wagons fast'uied close to each other. A great rail way which is l i*te ted close to the road sol lor a con siderable distance between L’verpool and M inchester, will soon be finished, when, I under*:,i*t 1 tiie steam wagons will be intro cluced, uml I, in ly probably begra'ilied with a siglit ol tliem on my return to Liverpool. mode oi conveyance would answei "> H in many parts ol America, as vve have plenty ot iron, the following is the man ner in which the rail-wavs are laid. Tne road is ma le level, of course, either hy eaith oi stonework. On each side of the ioid, square cut stone, of about Id riches, are im'oe led in the earth, and placed ab mi 12or 18 loot about. In the centre ol oa> h st> i‘ is inserted an iron crotch (I do not know the proper term) on which the rail way i* I lid on both sides of (lie road, with gune * sUili ueuily deep lor tne carriage "bee!* to run in securely ; anil at propei distances, that is always within sight, rail ways run oil (rum the main road into a hall circle, so that wagon* coming Irom opposite directions are enabled lo turn out and lei each other pa-s, without detention, a* these hilt circle are iurnied in the same mannei as the main load without causing the least inconvenience.” -oO©— •Mr It alter Scott and the Scotch Novels, Ihe following circumstances, which "c relate upon good authority, go far to idem tily Sir \V alter Scott with the aiKiiorshq of those popular Nov.-ls and Tales general ly ascribed to his pen.

One of Mr. Train’s vis its took place a short time prior to tte pub lication of 'lid Mortality ; and the Histo ry ol the Covenanters, during the memora ble era to which the tale relates, formed the principal topic of their conversation.

From recent investigations it has been •made very satisfactorily to appear that most <d the difficulties which have arisen about the date treaty with the Creek Indians by which j they ceiled that portion of their lauds situated I within tlie State of Georgia, have been occa sioned by the perverse conduct of Col. Crow ell the United States Indian Agent. It seems that Gov. Troup of Georgia is a can didate for re-election to the guberernatorial chair—General Clark of Georgia is his rival candidate. Col. Crowell, being a partisan of Clark’s aod knowing that if Troup suc ceeded in procuring the removal of tlie In dians and the acquisition of their lands to the State, tlie act would establish his popu larity on a basis too firm to be shaken by his enemies, determined at all events to oppose >e conclusion or execution of any Indian eaty during Gov. Troup’s administration, 'e consequently used all the influence his ollicial station of Indian Agent m, to prevent the ratification of the ity.

FRIDAY, AUGUST 19, 1825. r | W n should like to be informed by what e species of logic the insanity of Judge Bow h en, or bite Mr. Russel goes to prove J the derangement of any other person. We \ ' have been lately told with much gravity, ’ that Mr. King’s error does not prove Mr. . Wirt to have entertained unconstitutional 1 doctrines. It is admitted. And it is equal ity true, that the wanderings of the Judge 1 and the Squire, cannot be assumed as pre ‘ mises from which to deduce “ an unfortun u ate twist’ in the brain ol one who is now -Iflourishing in health and in the confidence *jof the people of Georgia. Whatever may 2 have been the sins and follies and misfor tunes of the two persons above named, they u| should not, we humbly think, bo drawn t;from the silent tomb where their bodies - have long since mouldered into ashes. We | should tread lightly upon the graves of the departed; nor should so grievous a malady > as madness be rashly imputed to the liv i.ing. The wreck of the intellect is one of t j the most appalling evils with which an in scrutable providence visits man, and from | him to whom it is attributed, his fellows .turn in dismay, pity, or disgust. Is it pru • per then, to attempt to fasten upon any one 1 the character of mad, when such deplora ble consequences may follow; unless in deed the fact c.*n be put beyond question iby incontrovertible evidence? We will not as we might—-insist that such a charge is libellous and indictable—but we ask—-if it be altogether consistent with Christian \ charity to prefer i ? As to the unfortun ; ate Judg- Bowen—had his address to the L Grand Jury been delivered a few years la ; ter, it must have found advocates.—Mr. King probably among the number—in whose i view it would have appeared replete with i wisdom. Doctrines just as absurd have teen delivered with applause upon the floor Congress, and are even now issuing from press. copy a paragraph from the New ./; Daily Advertiser, and remind our lers of l/tc prediction contained in "Ur hist number. We did not expect -• to s co it verified so soon. The editor is 1 speaking of the of Maytien In -5 dependence by France : “ The acknowledgment of the Indepen ‘ chnceofU lytiby the Government of Fn,,ire, L "h eh is now confidently stated to have ta ken place, is an event in political history that can scarcely fail to make a serious im pression upon the m uds of all enlighten ed and liberal statesmen and politicians,) Fiance, by this act, has in fact agre> d, that blacks are by nauire equal to whites ; and it follows as an irresistahle consequence, , that she has been engaged for a century or two past, (and is at the present moment,) ' in subjecting this race of men, planted by Providence on another continent, inhab ited by them so thousands of years before this Western World wag discovered by Europeans, to the greatest of all possible injuries, that of carrying them by force toy a distant region, and reducing them and their posterity to tiie most cruel, debasing and wicked bondage. With a portion of ’ this cha 'd--, who have had the courage to break iiielr fetters, and to main lain loeir t eedom for a long course of (yeuis, France has at length condescended j to e,ltel ' hi to a treaty, and by it to relin jquisli all futuie claim, or pretension of j claim, to the sovereignty and jurisdiction of the island, which they have conquered and inhabit. With regard to the pecuniary consideration which is said to have been given by the Haytiens as the price of this recognition, we confess we have doubts whether the sum has been correctly stated. To be entirely and for ever rid of ail ap prehensions of any attempts on the part if France to reduce them again under the yoke, maybe considered as equivalent to any amount that they can pay. We think the sum named, however, is extravagant • and if the flay liens have stipulated to pay it, they have taken a serious task into their hands. B it, being left free from all dan ger id invasion, they will be at liberty to pur sue more peaceful, and of course more pro jtitable avocations ; and tbeir fine fertile isl and will reward their industry beyond almost any other spot of earth on the globe. It becomes an object of no small impor tance to ascertain what course other na tions, particularly Great-Britain and the United Slates will pursue towards this re public. 1 lie trade of the island will be of iiuch interest to both countries, and we have no hesitation in saying that both of them, it they consult their own interests, will fol low in tne track marked out by France, and acknowledge the Haytiens as a tree and in dependent people. There is no doubt the slave-holders in both nations will oppose 'Uch a measure ; but it is to be. ho ed that the Governments will act as the interest and justice ol the case require, without being in-
