T HE first year of this publication having been con cluded, the “Reporter” will hereafter be published w»;ekl v as well as semi-monthly. We feel grateful to the public ibr the liberal patronage aw arded us, (having now a more extensive circulation than any other newspaper in the United States,) and shall leave no measure unre sorted to, in order to render this Journal valuable in all respects, not only to merchants, banking institutions, brokers, and keepers of hotels, but to the community in general. We have engaged tlie literary assistance of se veral gentlemen well known as writers, and have corres pondents in all tlie principal cities and towns in the Uni ted States. We also receive weekly more than five hun dred newspapers from different parts of the Union, so limt, whatever information may lie circulated through the medium of the “Reporter,” and the resources from whence it is derived, we can confidently state, may, in all cases, he relied upon as correct. Bank notes are being counter feited in every direction; and on the arrival of every ves sel from Europe, or the creation of every national excite ment, tlie state of tlie market varies. Every person should, therefore, lie possessed of some certain guide b\ which all such information might be received by the ear liest muds, and at such a rate as not to render its posses sion an exorbitant tux. Such a Journal is exactly what rve endeavor to render the “Reporter,” m an effort to ac complish which, neither pains nor expense aviII at any time be spared on the part of the publisher. Every num ber will contain a carefully corrected Bank Note List, List of Broken Banks, Prices Currem, Prices ot Gold, Prices of Bank and Insurance Stock, and a description ol ail Counterfeit and Altered Notes in circulation through out the United States, and all such information as is likely to throw light upon tlie subjects embraced m the des^n of this Journal. The latest foreign news, togeth er with much original and well selected matter, will al so be found in the columns of the “Reporter.” The terms of the weekly publication are $3 per an- num—the semi-monthly $2—singles copies 12 1-2 cents.

At this time, this sec tion ot country otters to capitalists great inducements;— land is unusually low—the population of the most re spectable character, industrious, intelligent and enter prising. Schools and academies arc now in opeation equal to the best in the state, and emigrants are daily- coming from Virginia, North and South Carolina, Geor gia and Alabama; and many tarms have been opened to the extent of 3 and 400 acres producing more cotton to the acre than any other land in the same laiitude. Twelve years experience has tested the salubrity of the climate— no new country was ever blessed with *a greater share of general good health. Another great advantage peculiar to this section of country is, that navigable streams are so dispersed, that tliere is no point at which a settlement can be made, that will exceed a greater distance from na vigation than twenty miles, and that the Mississippi riv er is easy of access by land carriage at many convenient points within this range of country,—whereas at no point U t lx> • t- until j ou tvuGt tl.v -w utiiui 11111it llis* tance of 400 miles, can you approach this great River at high water on cither side from the back country !>y land carriage,—owing to the extensive swamps ami lakes on both sides below the southern line of Tennessee. Anoth er advantage may here be suggested to cotton piui'ers— the great distance west from the Allegany Mountains— as a degree west from said mountains is considered by judicious and experienced cotton planters equivalent to a degree South for the production of cotton. Such is my exalted opinion of this fine country, that no reasonable price would induce me at this time to i«art from so much of my lands, did not the situation ol'ny affairs make it absolutely necessary to raise funds to discharge the heavy debts which have been so long and harrnssing- ly pressing on me—For the reason last mentioned, the undersigned Avishes to make one large sale, whidi will en able him to close up his business at once.

Mr. Chilton, the chyniist, had brought seme phosphorus with him. tie desired his young man to take it out and weigh off 40 grs. He did so, in the presence of the medical men. “Let me try that' 1 ” said Mons’r C. He took a small portion and rubbed it against a piece of pa per. It produced ignition immediately. “Dat is ver good—very good,” said Monsieur.* At his re- ? uest, Dr. Yates undertook to administer the dose, t was put into a spoonful of water. Monsieur knelt down, put his hands behind his back, had his stock fakea off—“Now t ,” said he, “I am ready.”—Dr. Yates proceeded and poured it into his mouth. “W ell,” said the Doctor, with a sigh, “I never ad ministered such a dose before in my fife.” When every particle was swallowed, lie called on the com- pimu L* AVawUma 4Fa j«*tiiu t HO tlcut plll/ri was practised—to satisfy themselves that it was not hid in his mouth. Several medical men did so. They were perfectly satisfied. They put their fingers into his mouth, and came down from the platform in utter astonishment. The next experiment was writh melted lead. He took a tin pan full of melted lead, and plunged his fingers into it, took a portion in his hand, and made Believe he was washing the tips ofhis fingers^ “No mistake, gentlemen,” said he, “put your fin gers here.” Several did so, and were glad to take them from the veseel again. They were perfectly satisfied. The next experiment was swallowing a spoon ful of boiling Florence oil. A tin pan lull of this liquid was heated to the boiling point, before the audience. He then took the vessel and plunged a Fahrenheit thermometer into the boiling liquid, and exhibited the instrument to the gentlemen. It stood at 340. “Satisfy yourselves.” He then took a spoon, dipt it in tlie oil, filled it, put it in his mouth, anil actually swallowed it down. Every person present was satisfied there was no deception practised. “What a fellow!” said one: “Why,” said another, “a certain place, not to be named to ‘ears polite,’ carries no alarms to him.” “Will you just take a peep,” said a third, “behind, Mon- sieui Chaubert, and see if his feet are not cloven.” “Now, gentlemen,” said Monsieur C. “I shall prepare to go into the oven, and take a dish ofbeef steaks with me to be cooked.” He retired a few minutes to Change his dress* Doctor Pascalis, who appeared to t»e puzzled and perplexed at all these experiments, took the opportunity to step up to the oven and look in. He opened the door and thrust his hand in.—He soon drew hack. “How is the oven Doctor?” asked a brother physician. “By George I could go in myself,” replied the Doctor. Monsieur Chaubert, however, soon appeared, went into the oven, roused up the fire; and made ar rangements He wore over his dress a large thick great coat. “Why do you wear that?” asked some one. “It is all the same lo me,” said he, “to go in dressed or undressed: if I go in undressed, I must he very cautious wheti I come out not to catch Cold. I wear a course great coat over my dress, because it prevents me from catching cold; besides; I have now become economical:” This was received with applause. He then put the thermometer into the oven to ascertain the temperature. “Bring the beef steaks here:” They were brought. He put them into a tin dish: sprinkled salt and pepper on them. “I like plenty of steaks,” said he, quite jo vially* “Now, gentlemen,” cried Monsieur, “come and see the thermometer; but you must look sharp, because the least approach to the cold air will make it fall rapidly. Three gentlemen went up to the oven to examine. He seized the thermometer from the interior of the oven and held it out. “How much? how much?” It was several secohds before they found the mer cury and then it was 380. “Oh” said he “it is at least 480, it has fallen since I took it out.” He re placed the thermometer, put a black cap on his head, had the dish of steaks placed along side of which, with the editorial and other comments that have been made, tend to irritate and mislead the public mind. The truth of tlie case is; that when tlie sulmn's- sion was made to the umpirage of the King of the Netherlands, there was a distinct understanding, that until the question should be finally decided, each of the parties should remain in the exercise of tne same jurisdiction over such parte of the territo ry as was then held by them respective!} 7 —or in diplomatic language, that tlie status quo should W strictly preserved. The settlement of Madawa'Ska, .although within what the United States, upon the best grounds, as serted to be tlie boundary of the treaty ot 1783, was, at the time of the submission, and has ever since been, in the occupation of the British, under the jurisdiction of the Government of New Bruns wick. Things remained in tills situation until within a lew weeks past, when, by virtue of a law lor or ganizing the several settlements o| the State ot" Maine and establishing the municipal authority ir> the several towns* a number of Americans, settled at Madawaska, met to elect town officers, and a Representative to the Legislature of the State; the militia and civil officers of the British Government protested against thi^s proceeding—but the election proceeded notwithstanding. This was Certainly a breach of the agreement between the two Gov- ernments, in which it is believed tiie State oi'Maine, acquiescwa,-wncnr suen act bad Keen authorized, might justly have been considered as a notice that the United States would not accept the award made by the King of the Netherlands; and were no longer bound by the agreement above referred to, which was understood to be obligatory until ti c- award should be executed, or declared not to ho’ binding.' But no’ Such judgement has yet been: passed upon the award, that question must be sul -' mitted to the discretion of other branches of the government. Until they decide, it is presumed that the President will think it his duty to observe with good faith the understanding between the tw< nations. , It is, therefore, equally to be lamented, that on the part of the American citizens, the election for’ officers was inconsiderately held in the settlement then actually governed by the civil and military au thorities of Great Britain—and on the part oftbe British, that violent measures have been though? necessary to punish or counteract those proceed ings—and that too, when mutual forbearance, for rt- few weeks longer, would have led to a definitive, and it is hoped, a friendly settlement of the ques tion. It is confidently expected that the representa tions made by our Government will procure then • lease of tlie persons arrested, and that, on tlie pa: f of the patriotic State of Maine, the influence and authority of those who direct it3 affairs, and tiv moderation and good sense of its citizens, will pi t vent any act that may embarrass the councils erf endanger the peace of the United States.
