I believe that the legislature when they appropriated money for the purpose of making those roads, intend- ed that they should be constructed of guch materials, and in such a manner, that they could be travelled upon by, and accommodate every description of people : as well the farmer with bis waggon of burden, as the “ man of pleasure,” &c. in his carriage. I would conceive too, thdt the convenience off the farmers ought to be first consider- ed, being in every respect the most uscful class of our citizens. 1 cannot say, whether or not, this was made the chief consideration with those who superintended the construction of the Bellefonte and Philipsburg turnpike road ; indecd one would suppose the very contrary, 1f he weve solely to rely upon the information contained in the communication of your last week’s correspondent.

Oneida Observer. New York, July 4th, PAINFUL INTELLIGENCE, the New York Gazette have received letters from officers on board the Fran- lin 74, confirming the report. and de- tailing the painful particulars of the loss of a boats company belonging to that ship. The following 15 an ex: tract of one of the letters. « On Tuesday the 19th inst, a mos! melancholy and deplorable event oc curred in this Bay. On the morning of that day, a party consisting of seven officers. to wit : Lieut. James N. Perry Dr. Cornelius C. De Puy, Midship man Robert Marshall, John Cremer, Edward Preble, Robert B.

A : LATEST FROM THE SPANISH MAINE. - Curracoa, June 15th, 1822.

The brig of war Hurcules remaining gutside was attacked by the Colom bian vessels, who immediately desisted upon perceiving the frigate going out to the assistance of her consort. By the last accounts the Spanish vessels were anchored off Panto Bra- vo, in consequence of the outward several columns which I ordered to advance on the enemy, I succeeded in completely routing them, and dispers- ing them in every direction, hotly pur- sued by my troops.
