will defeat the grand object of remedying the obftruclion to out navigation at the falls, bv both companies failing. These fears do not arise from any knowledge of the funds of the companies, but from a knowledge of the vast expence which attends luch undertakings. One canal might be cut, but it is prtfumable that the expence of cutting two will be more than the funds of the companies will be adequate to meet. It is all important to us, that a canal should be cur, and every peifon ought to di vert himfell of prejudice and not let local interest prevent the ac complifhrnent of an objedt with which our prosperity is lo close ly connedled.

Benjamin Hawkins , the Indian Agent for the United States* arrived here, with a deputation of Chiefs from the Upper and Lower Greek Nations, confid ing of Alexander Cornells and TujkenehaWy from the Upper towns; and William MHntoJk , Tujkee nee hue Chapco—Enchau I'hluccOj and Che copy chelco E mantlaiiy from the Lower towns. On Tuesday they left this place in the stage on their way to the City of Walhington. We un derfUnd that their visit to the feat of Government is ro treat for an extention of the bounda ry line of this date to the Oak mulgee river* the Upper Creeks we are told are in favor of cede ing the lands as far as the Oak mulgee, and the Lower Greeks opposed to it—we believe how ever ttiar the agent is of opinion, the land ma be obtained. It will afford pleasure to a benevolent mind, to know that the efforts of col. Hawkins, to meliorate the condition of the savage tribes c and to bring them into something like asocial date have been greatly fuccefsful, & that they are altnod daily, tho’ fiowiy, making advances in ci vilization. There were in the Creek Nation when the agent left it twelve Looms employed, eight of them, if we recoiled: right, were made by Indians, and are worked by Indian wo men, who alfb spin the cotton which they weave.- The plough and the hoe are now alfo’m very general uft among them, and in becoming attached to property, and being acquainted with the comforts and advantages of ag ricultural improvements, they are losing very considerably that predeledion for the chafe and the hunting life, which, ai med univerlaily charaderik savage nations. The agent has introduced among them weights and measures, and made many of them acquainted with figures, so that they are enabled to weigh out their own articles for sale, and to calculate the amount of them with g**eat accuracy—and the advantages they dhcover to arise from these giimrnerings of science, is gradually exciting a desire to extend their knowledge and will doubtleis prepare the way Ur the eftabHfhtnent of schools among them, and will create an ardor for future im provements. From the advan ces alrea y made in the a of civd life, there can be iitt e doubt that a foundation is iai-d. f r ah entire change in the dif pHkion 8c habits of these tribes. Augufa Herald of Oct. 10. A late curious document of rel’gious history has been given to the world from doctor Alh burv, bishop of the met hod iff: church. Ic relates to the in crease of that religious fed with in 35 years. It announces, that in the United States and Cana da, 120,000 persons were in their fellowfldp and that one million did attend to their mi niflry, ib as to include a 7th part of the whole population of the United States. We cannot lay how accurate this general statement may be, but we may pronounce its fuccefsm Ameri ca has been unexampled. It has in America 400 travelling preachers, and 2000 local prea chers. It profeffes to have pro fitted much since the conference in May, 1802, and to have held two or three hundred extraor dinary meetings with great ef fect.

Ic measures 57 and a half feet in circumference, ami contains a hollow in which at lead 17 men can march and stand in a circle. This enormous production of nature is laid to be but con-wood and is supposed to have been the habitation of Indians and hunters a number of years ago. Being at firff a natural hollow, the inflJe is probabF improved lbmewhat by art, having one fide open as a door; the larg*- nefs of the hollo v is affomlhing, making quite a large and com modious apartment. What ren ders this tree the more lingular is that it is iliil green and tnrif ty, and may continue growing larger for a number of years to come. New-York paper. Another French Fleet out f Capt.
