BOSTON, August 13^ A man games at cards to win monev for liimfelf and family that is unlawful. Again, he games at a tavern for money to be spent for the good of the house, this is alio unlawful. Again, he <rames *n a lottery to ease his neigbours of their taxes, wins the poor walher woman's money, carries oi ! triumph, and leaves the poor womar half diftratfted for her loss, yet this is lawful be cause it is designed for the public good. Goody Twoflioes fays the end fanctifies the means. If the newspapers speak true, our American politicians have given a frelh proof of their fupe. rior ingenuity, by the new balances they have lately invented. Mr. Herfchell's new invented elaflcs by which he has discovered planets nevet before seen by mortal eyes, has done him great nonor. And a coinmittee ofour politicians have invented a curious pair of scales, by which politj. cal justice is weighed with fucti exaftnefs as mufl do them honor. By experiments already made it appears, that if a man loaned government 111- ™ and gold, or supplied their armies with clo thing and stores, 13 or 14 years ago, took theit obligation promising payment ofthe principal of it in two or three years, with intereftat 6 per cent, and now the whole principal isyet unpaid, and part of the interest, if the diftrefled creditor calls for his money, I fay by this new discovery, it ap pears to be doing justice, to give him a new note -in lieu of the older one, for jds of ids of the prin cipal, payable before the coming in of the Jews, at 6 per cent, interest ; also, another note foi part ofthe remainder without interest for ioyears and another note for the remainder at 3 per cent interest payable before the milleniuni. This is that branch ofjuftice which has lain hiddrp ever since the deluge, but now marvellously discover ed by Americans. It is however to be lamented, that these Pcales will not weigh the justice of any thing but old state debts with any certainty ; o therwise 1 should be glad to weigh the pay oft committee man with them to fee whether tht payment of §ds of fds of 6 dollars a day woulc not come as near to jultice with him, asto pay ofl the old silver money loaner, at that rate, whc loaned his money, and supplied the army, ar ; time when it was worth 20 percent, to insure ii from the enemy, and now worth 30 per cent. t( insure it from friends and patriots. HARTFORD, AUGUST 16. " Ibe iucereft on the foreign debt has this year been paid j and there will remain in the Treasury at the end oftheyeara film which, em ployed in a bank operation, may be very conve nient in facilitating at once the payment of the duties and a prompt discharge of the Quarterly interest. " It is ftncerely to be regretted that so much of the public paper has heretofore been trifled away for the want of a criterion to ascertain its value, or indeed evidence that it would continue to be of any value at all. There are now data for calculation, which men of forecaft will re- gard, and which, after* few payments of inter est /hall have been made, all will attend to* The The flocks created by the new loan will average a profit of about four and an half per cent, which is more than real estate produces, and which in a shorter period of time probably than is generally imagined, will be near the rate which money in this country ought to produce in deposits unac companied with trouble and risk." MIDDLETOWN, August 14. Much has been said of the diminution of the population of the United States, to be dreaded from migrations to the western country. This apprehension is ill-founded. The increase of people in these states by births is tjo,ooo annu ally, being one twentieth part of the whole num ber of the inhabitants ; v/hereas the migration to the western country, as stated lately in Congress, by the Hon. Mr. Brown, is only 15,000 annual ly on an average. NEW-YORK, AUGUST 21. We hear that the President of the United States had a very fine jpafTageto Newport, at which place he arrived on Monday even ing la ft—he was expe&ed at Providence on Thursday, where pre parations had Leen made for his reception.—He will probably arrive in this city this evening. Yesterday arrived in this city, his Excellency Arthur St. Clair, governor of the Western Territory. On Thursday last Col. McGillivray, and the other Chiefs •f the Creek Nation, failed from this port for St.Mary's River, in high spirits, and greatly pleased with having concluded a Treaty • f Peace and Friendship with the United States. Ihe iflfue of the negotiation with the Creeks, observe* a corres pondent, mull give pleasure to every friend to humanity, and the peace and honor of the United States.*—The folcmn ratification of this juJl and equal Treaty, with which the Creeks appear to be so lully iatisfied, and which has received the deliberate fanflion of the President of the United States, and of the Senate, affords the rappiclt profpe&s of lading peace and tranquility to ourfouthern Congressional electioneering is carried on with great spirit in /everal of the States : The merits of the Candidates are emblazon, cd to the public eye—doubthfs by their fricnit ■, evety error of the prctcm Congrefa is pointed out with the finger of patriotism, and with infallible prescience it is ntt clearly seen how every difficul iVo'dcd : and ifthe b,e,rcd Principle of R,ta ■ {,uidethc political ihip i O , ukiverial approbation— I wo years, in an exalted ibtion, Points oat the importance of rotation: Jn this th' public fafety'tfound, lo keep cleflions whirling round; You may believe US when we swear, We'll suit the people to a MAti • So wise—so firm—fuch triends to freedom— Our virtues—Lord, how much you need e'm !

It is however generally luppofed that mod of the old ones will be re-elected ; for the noise about rotation, is justly interpreted by the people thus— r * " They that are our will pout, " They that are in, wrll grin."

The three dif. checks in Legillature seem to be indil'penfably necetfary with one executive ; I think we are so far happy in having all these at certain periods eligible by the people ; but annual elefiions are rather too frequent in my opinion. Some of our Governors have not a negative, which I think a defect in our Constitutions. Un happily rather from inattention and inexperience than design, our allcmblies at times have interfered too much ia the judicial de railment ; the deliberative, judicial and executive, ought to be en tirely fcparate; permitting the Judge, to fct in the AlTcmbly has a tendency to introduce a confunon of departments.
