lie numben or quality oflhe btlildmga to be
erectect. I know nothing as to the funds of
the Society, or what number of children
they will be abte to support. I
out a report tb the Secretary at War, of
th ? commencement of the buildings,
number and kind contemplated, with an
estimate of the costs, enclosing a plan of
the whole drawn Upon paper. I also men
tioned the probable number of pupils we
might have under our care in the course
of a year or two. In this I was guided by
the number of children in the neighbour
hood, pf sufficient age to commence an edu
cation, which is about 20, and 1 conclude
that an equal number will be brought from
a distance. I estimated the buildings when
completed, at $1,935, including all expen
ses. This may seem an extravagant com
putation ; but taking info consideration the.
high pipes of provisions and labour, ! be
lieve it to be sufficiently I have
’ nJcavotired to pursue as economical a'plan
as fherifitufe of the institution will admit,,
lest our funds should be too tar exhausted
in making preparations. Should the insti
tution. be of lung continuance, (as 1 hope it,
■will) 1 do not well kiiovv what plan we.
adopt that would be more economi-’
cal, and yet lasting and comfortable. With
the promised aid of Government, I hope the
funds of the Society will be sufficient to com
plete the whple, and leave something in
the Treasury for the support of the school.
1 enclose a plan of the Establishment for
your inspection. Should yort think any al
teration necessary, you will please to sug
gest if. In my last, l mentioned that I had
selected anew site for the establishment.
This place is about five miles west- of that
Inst mentioned in the report to the Board
It is a very pleasant and elevated ridge, run
ning S. E. and N. W. The land is fertile,
and affords an abundance of timber. We
have likewise several springs of excellent
ivatercnnveniept to the present seat of the
establishment. 1 believe it to be the most
suitable place that is perhaps ia the limits
ofihe Chickasaw Nation.
■ As it respects my prospects amongst the
Indians, they arc as flattering as 1 could
ijorpoct at the commencement. They con
tinue to manifest great friendship towards
me,and are constantly inquiring when l will
open the school. 1 have hitherto had the
satisfaction of seeing a goodly number at
tend the preaching of the Gospel, who are
orderly in their deportment. On last Sab
bath 1 was much pleased with the appear
ance of deep conviction in an Indian, wo
man, who understands, but does not speak
any English. She wept much during di
vine worship, and at the close expressed a
wish that I would preach at her house.—
What may have been the qxercises of her
mind is unknown to me. God grant that it
may be the beginning of that work, which
may,eventually terminate in her conversion
and eternal salvation. flow would my
heart rejoice in seeing even one of these
forlorn people inquiring after the. way of
yaalyafe'on.’ W ■ Thomas C. Stuart.

Arrival of the Macedonian. —The U. S. frigate
Macedonian, Capt. Downes, arrived at this port
yesterday in 37 days from Rio Janeiro, and 93
from Valparaiso. By this ship information has
been received from the latter place to March 18,
and from the former to May 13.
Nothing particularly important had recently
transpired in Chili. News had been received
from Peru to the close of February; at which
time Gen. Sail Martin remained at Huaura, dis
tant from Lima about 80 miles, with an army of
7or 8000 men. The Spanish force was at Lima,
and consisted of about the same number. A ge
neral engagement was not anticipated ; but it was
believed that the expedition from ChiU would be
ultimately successful. The viceroy, Fezuelas, j
had been deposed by the military, and Gen. Lai
Serna was appointed in his stead. Lord Cochrane, j
with most of the Chilian squadron, continued off
Callao.
The Portugqese 74, Vasca de Gama, with about
15 sail of vessels of war and transports, having on
hoard the King of Portugal and bis court, sailed
from Rio Janeiro about 25th April for Lisbon.
The U. S. frigate Constellation, Capt. Ridge
ley, sailed from Valparaiso for Coquimbo, 10th
March.
The Rev. Azariah Wilson, Chaplain of the
Macedonian, died at Valparaiso, 17th Jan. after
a lingering illness. Also at the same place, on
the 16th March, much regretted, Lieut. John
Canibreleng, aged 24, and was interred with mili
tary honours.
Since leaving Lima on the 24th Nov. 1820, the
Macedonian has been to Sainanca, Payta, Hua
cho, and Molliendo, in Peru ; and Coquimbo and
Valparaiso in Chili.—she has been absent from the
United States two years, seven months, and ten
days; and during that period, has been to the
Columbia river on the N. W. Const, and has ren
dered important services to Ani'erioan shipping in
the Pacidck Ocean, &c. She has sailed oyer
58,000 miles, and has lost 29 men—24 by dis
ease, 3 drowned, and 2 murdered by the Span
iards ; of the number was one Lieutenant, a
Chaplain, and two Midshipmen.
The Macedonian has brought out 343,232
Spanish dollars, and 30,441 ounces of silver—
for merchants in Boston, Providence, New York
and Baltimore, excepting 62,000 to be deposited
in the U. S. Bank.
Latest from, St. Domingo.—"We have rece.ved
a file of Haytien papers down to the 3d ijst.
j They contain no news. A detail ofgreat minute
i ness is given of the progress of Boyer in the laie
:Jy disturbed parts of the island. Tranquillity is
every where established. The measures of tie
government towards the late insurgents met wilh

revolt, the arm of government i9 strengthened
At Cape Hayti a soldier with his musket advan
ced to the place* where Boyer was standing, and
asked for the President. Boyer suspecting hit
purpose, suddenly advanced to him saying
“ Here.” The fellow was panick struck—he was
immediately put in irons and confessed himself
hired to shoot him, or as the government Gazette
expresses it, “ He confesses that the lieutenant of
his company had himself given him a cartridge

reaved of an affectionate husband, and parent,
robbed of a darling child. As the eledtriclt fluid, 1
in this Melancholy instance, seems to havedepar- \
ted from its usual character,the following succinct
account thereof may not prove unacceptable, j
The house, which was small , though tall, was !
struck at the gable end (in which was the
door) at the Extreme top, whence At decen-j
ded to about six inches from the door, and there ;
bursting through, -killed Mr. Massey whp was ly-1
iijg in bed with his head near the door, (and mar- J
villous to slate, Mrs. Massey, who was lying by,
his side, was not materially injured)—it then pro
ceeded towards the hearth, lulled the child that
lying on a-bed, and thence descended thro’
flie hearth into t.he earth. At the time it forced
fs way through the lower , part of the house, it di
aled ; one stream descended t 6 the sill where it
Subdivided and run through the sill, north and
smith, until it reached the earth, where its force
appeared to have been exhausted. The house
was literally torn to pieces.—There were also.two
maid servants in the room, neither of whom were
the least injured. Feathers, &c. are considered
nonconductors, yet Mr. Massey warlying on a
feather-bed, apparently not touching any part of
the bed-stead—the child was lying on a feather
bed on the floor, also not touching any thing but
the bed itself. Franklins may philosophize, and
Newtons search the stars, yet God acts indepen

At the last Circuit Court of the U. S. in Illinois,
Che-wa-cha-ra-ha and Who-rah-jin-jah,two Win
nebago Indians, were convicted of the niurder of
two American soldiers near Fort Armstrong,- in
March last, and sentenced to be hung the 14th Ju
ly. Their Chief, Cah-rah-mah-ree, who attended
the trial, was indignant at the barbarous treat
ment the convicts had experienced in jail pre
vious to their trial; and Col. Leavenworth had
ordered au inquiry on the subject. On leaving
the court the chief addressed Judge Pope in a
short, eloquent, and manly speech, which con
cluded with these remarkable words:
“ J My father —1 came here to see justice but 1
find none—Cah-rah-mah-ree is honest—he speaks
what he thinks—he shakes you for the last time
by the hand.”
The dry goods, merchants in Boston have lately
formed a compact, pledging themselves nol to at
tend aiiy auction of Dry Goods in less quantities
than the original package.
A short time previous, a similar association was
formed in the city of New York, and the result
appears from the following extract of a letter,,
dated New York, June 18, 1821.
“ We have anew era in our city—there is hot
an auction flag hoisted today in Pearl street,which
has not before occurred, some say, in 10 or 20
years.” :
One John Duncan,lately executed in Missouri,
confesses in his dying speech, that he travelled
300 miles to kill Mr. Stevefis, of whose murder
he was convicted ; that he then killed the son of
Mr. S. then his wife, and last her infant son—all
deliberately, with time intervening between each
hellish act. The annals of human depravity nev
er exhibited a more diabolical heart than this fiend
possessed. •

Decorum. —A London paper, speaking of lord
Petersham, calls him a “ harmless Earl, who lives
but in the ladies’ smiles, and dreads the power of

whether dame nature, in a wanton freak, look
from her shelf the visage of an ape, and placed it
on a two legged frame resembling man.” Pub
