U. STATES & GREAT BRITAIN. Burning of the Caroline. A week or two since the President transmitted to the House of Breprescntatives the following correspondence between Mr. Fox, the British Mi nister, and Mr. FORSYTH, Secretary of State, rale live to the burning of the 'Caroline,' which, after Como discussion. was referred to the committee on Foreign Affairs. Mr. Fox to Mr. Forsyth. WA:mummy, December 13, 1840. Sin: I am informed by his Excellency the Lieut. Governor of the Province of Upper Canada,that Mr. Alexandra McLeod a British subject, and late deputy sheriff of the Niagara district in Upper Canada, was arrested at Lewiston, in the State of New York, on the 12th of last month, on a pre tended charge of murder and arson, as hav ing been engaged in the capture and de struction of tho piratical steamboat "Caro line," in the month of December, 1837. After a tedious and vexatious examination, Mr. McLeod was committed for trial, and he is now imprisoned in Lockport jail. 1 feel it my duty to call upon the Gov ernment of the United States to take prompt and effectual steps for the liberation of Mr. McLeod. It is well known that the de struction of the steamboat “Carolino'' was a public net of persons in her Majesty's ser vice, obeying the order of their superior authorities. The act, therefore, according to the usages of nations, can only be the subject of discussion between the two Na tional Governments. It cannot justly be made the ground of togal proceedings in the United States against the individuals con cerned,who where bound to obey the autho ities appointed by their own Government. I may add that I believe it is quite no torious that Mr. McLeod was not one of the party engaged in the destruction of the steamboat "Caroline;" and that the preten ded charge upon which he has been impris oned rests only upon the perjured testimony of certain Canadian outlaws and their abet tore,, who unfortunately for the peace of that neighborhood, are still permitted by the authorities of the State of New York to infest the Canadian frontier. The question, however, of whether Mr. McLeod was or was not concerned in the destruction of' the "Caroline," is beside the purpose of the present communication.— That act was the public act of persons obey ing the constituted authorities of her Majes ty's Province. The National Government of the United States thought themselves called upon to remonstrate against it; and e remonstrance which the President did ac cordingly address to her Majesty's Govern ment, it still, I believe, a pending subject of diplomaticdiscussion between her Majes ty's Government and the United States Legation in London. I feel, therefore, jus. tified in expecting that the President's Gov. eminent will see the justice and the neces sity of causing the present immediate re lease of Mr. McLeod, as well as of taking such steps as may be requisite for preven ting others of her Majesty's subjects from being persecuted or molested in the United States in a similar manner for the future. It appears that Mr. McLeod was arres ted on the 12th ultimo; that after the exam ination of witnesses, he was finally commit ted for trial on the 18th, and placed in cone finemont in the jail_ at Lockport, awaiting the assizes, which will be held there in Feb ruary next. As the case is naturally occa sioning a groat degree of excitement and indignation within the British frontier, 1 earnestly hope that it may be in your pow er to give me an early and satisfactory an swer to the present representation. I avail myself of this occasion to renew to you the assurance of my distinguished consideration. Hon. Joux Fonorru, &c. &c. Mr. Forsyth to Mr. Fox. DEPARTMENT OF STATE, Washington, Dec. 26,1840. Sr:—[i have the honor to acknowledge, and have laid before the President, your letter of the 13th instant,touching the arrest and imprisonment of Alexander McLeod, a British subject, and late Deputy Sheriff of the Niagara District, in Upper Canada, on a charge of murder and arson, as having been engaged in the capture and destruction of the Steam Boat "Caroline," in the month of December, 1937; in respect to which you state that you feel it your duty to call upon the Government nt the United States to take prompt and effectual steps for the lib• oration of Mr. McLeod, and to prevent oth er of the subjects of her Majesty, the Queen of Great Britain, from being persecuted or molested in a similar manner, for the fu ture. This demand, with the grounds upon which it is made, has been duly considered by the President, with a sincere desire to give It such a reply as will not only manifest a proper regard for the characternnd righ.a of the United States, but, at the same time, tend to preserve the amicable relations which, bo advantageously for both, subsist between this country and England. Ofthe reality of this disposition, and of the unifor mity with which it has been evinced in the many delicate and difficult questions which have arisen between the two countries in the last few years, no one can be more con vinced than yourself. It is then with un• feigned regret that the President finds him self unable to recognize the validity ofa de mand, a compliance with which you deem so material to the preservation of the good understanding which has been hitherto man ifested between the two countries. The jurisdiction of the several States which constitute the Union is, within its ap. propriete sphere, perfectly independent of the Federal Government. The Aimee with which Mr. McLeod is charged was committed within the territory, and ngelnst the laws and citizens of the State of New Yotk, and is one that comes clearly within the competency of her tribunals. It does not, therefore present an occasion where, under the Constitution and laws of the Uni on. the interposition called for would be proper, or for which a warrant can bo (bumf in the powers with which the Federal Ex ecutivo is invested. Nor would the cir cumstances to which you have referred, or the reasons you have urged, justify the ex ertion of such a power, if it existed. The transaction out of whieh the question arises, presents the case of a most unjustifiable in vasion, in time of pence, of a proportion of the territory of the United States, by a band of armed men from the adjacent territory of Canada, the forcible capture by them with in our own waters, and the subsequent des truction of a steamboat, the property of a citizen of the United States, and the murder of one or more American citizens. If ar rested at the time, the offenders might un questionably have been brought to justice by the judicial authorities of the State with in whose acknowledged territory these crimes were committed; and their subse quent voluntary entrance within that terri tory, places them in the same situation.— The President is not aware deny principle of international law, or indeed of reason or justice, which entitles such offenders to itn punity before the legal tribunals, when com ing voluntarily within their independent and undoubted jurisdiction, because they acted in obedience to their superior authorities, or because their acts have become the subject of diplomatic discussion between the two Governments. These methods of redress, the legal pros ecution of the offenders, and the application of thoir Government for satisfaction, are in dependent of each other and may be sepa rately and simultaneously pursued. The avowal or justification of the outrage of the British authorities, might be a ground of complaint with the Government of the Uni ted States, distinct from the violation of the territory and laws of the State of New York. The application of the Government of the Union to that of Great Britain, for the re dress of an authorized outrage of the peace, dignity, and rights of the United Statea,can not deprive the State of New York of her undoubted right of vindicating, through the exercise of her judicial power, tho property and lives of her citizens. You have very properly regarded the alleged absence of Mr. McLeod from the scene of the offence at the time when it was committed, as not material to the decision of the present ques tion. —That it is a matter to be decided by legal evidence; and the sincere desire of the President is, that it may be satisfactorily established. If the destruction of the Car oline was a public act of persons in her Ma jasty's service, obeying the order of their superior authorities, this fact has not been before communicated to the Government of the United States by a person authorized to make the admission; and it will be for the court which has taken cognizance of the offence with which Mr. McLeod is charged, to decide upon its validity when legally es tablished before it. The President deems this to be a proper occasion to remind the Government of her Britannic Majesty that the case of the "Caroline" has been long since brought to the attention of her Majesty's principal Sec retary of State for Foreign - Affairs, who, up to this day, has not communicated its decision thereupon. It is hoped that the Government of her Majesty will perceive the importance of no longer leaving the Government of the United States uninform ed of its views and intentions upon a subject which has naturally produced much exas peration, and which has led to such grave consequences. I avail myself of this occasion to . renew to you the assurance of my distinguished consideration. JOHN FORSYTH. H. S. Fox, Esq &c. &c. em. H. S. FOX. Sin: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 26th inst. in which, in reply to a letter which I had addressed to you on the 13th, you acquaint me that the President is not prepared to comply with my demand for the liberation of Mr. Alexander McLeod, of Upper Cana. da, now imprisoned at Lockport, in the State of New York, on a pretended charge of murder and arson, as having been enga• ged in the destruction of the piratical steam boat 'Caroline' on the 29th December, 1837. I learn with deep regret that such is the decision of the President of the United States, for I cannot but foresee the very grave and serious consequences that mist ensue if, besides the injury already inflicted upon, Mr. McLeod, of a vexatious and un just imprisonment, any further harm should be done to him in the progress of the extra ordinary proceeding. I have lost no time in forwarding to her Majesty's Government in England the cor respondence that has taken place, end I shall await the further orders of her Majes ty's Government with respect to the impor tent question which that correspondence in volves. But I feel it my duty not to close this communication without likewise testifying my last regret and surprise at the expres sions which I find repeated in your letter with reference to the destruction of the steamboat Caroline. I had confidently hoped that the first erroneous impression of the character of that event, imposed upon the mind of the United States Government by partial and exaggerated representations, would long since have been effaced by, a mere strict and accurate examination of the facts. Such an investigation must even yet, I am wiling to beiieve, lead the United States Government to the same con viction with which her Majesty's authori ties on the spot wero impressed, that the act was one in the strictest sense of self defence, rendered absolutely necessary by the circumstances of the occasion, for the safety and protection of her Majesty's sub jects, and justified by the same motives and principles which, upon similar and well know oeccaaions, have governed the con•, duct of illudrious officers of the United States. The steamboat Caroline was a hostile vessel, engaged in piratical war against hei Mr. Fox to Mr. Forsyth. W.teuxrtoToN, Dec. 29, 1640. Majesty's people, hired from her owners for that express purpose, and known to be so beyond the possibility of doubt. The place where the vessel was destroyed was nominally, it is true, within the , terri tory uf a friendly Power, but the friendly Power had been deprived, through over bearing piratical violence, of the use of its proper authority over that portion of tern. tory. The authorities of New York had not oven been able to prevent the artillery of the State from being carried off publicly, at mid.day, to be used as 1' , itruments of war against her Nlnjesty's subjects. It was under such circumstances, which it is to be hoped will never recur, that the yes• sel was attacked by a party of her Majesty's people, captured, and destroyed. It remonstrance against the act to quest. Lion has been addressed by the United States to her Majesty's Government in Eng land. lam not authorised to pronounce the decision of her Majesty's Government upon that remonstrance, but I have felt myself bound to record, in the mean time, the above opinion, in order to protest in the most solemn manner against the spirited and loyal conduct of a party of her Majes ty's officers and people being qualified, through an unfortunate misapprehension, as I believe, of the facts, with the appolla• tion of outrage of murder. I avail myself of this occasion to renew to you the assurance of my distinguished consideration. Mr. Forsyth to Mr. Fox DEPARTMENT OF STATE, Washington, Dec. 31, IR4O. Srm-1 have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of) our note of the 29th instant, in reply to mine of the 20th, on the subject of the arrest and detention of Alexander McLeod as ono of the perpetrators of the outrage committed in Now York when the steamboat Caroline wns seized and burnt. Full evidence of that outrage has been pre sented to her Majesty's Government with a demand for redress and of course no discus sion of the circumstances here can be either userul or proper, nor can I suppose it to be your desire to invite it. I take leave of the subject with this single remark, that the opinion so strongly expressed by you on the facts and principles, involved in the demand for reparation on her Majesty's Govern mont by the United States, would hardly have been hazarded had you been posessed of the carefully collected testimony which has been presented to your Government in 1 support of that demand. I avail myself of the occasion to renew to you the assurance of my distinguished con sideration. JOHN FORSYTH. -.... • 0w... From the Baltimore Patriot. WESTERN MAIL ROBBERIES.—Arrest of the Robbers.—lt has been known for some time that extensive robberies had been com mitted on the Great Western Mail for N. York and points east of that city; and from the evidence which the case °Worded, there was no doubt entertained that those robbe ries were committed at some point between Wheeling aad Baltimore. Circumstances having tended to fix suspicion upon the neighborhood of Uniontown, Pa. in refer ence to these depredations, Messrs. Kenne dy and Plitt, ogents of the Post Office De partment, directed their particular attention to that quarter. The discoveries there made were such as to induce Dr. Kennedy to obtain a warrant from Judge Ewing of that district, for the arrest of certain per. eons believed to be implicated in the robbe ries. The warrant was obtained on Wed nesday night, and proceeding with it to Washington, Pa. a stage driver named William Corman, employed on the rout be tween Washington and. Uniontown, was by the aid of a police officer arrested at the first named place. Carman was asleep on a bench in the bar-room, of the stage office hotel, and when arrested betrayed great alarm. On being taken before a magistrate, Cur• man made disclosures which implicated with himself in these robberies, a certain Dr. Braddee, a clerk of Braddtre's, named Pinnell, and a third person clamed William Strayer—all of Uniontown. On Thursday afternoon Dr. Kennedy left Washington, with his prisoner in charge, for Uniontown; and in the course of that nialit the three persons above named were also arrested, and in default of bail, which was fixed at a high figure, the four were committed to the jail of Fayette county, to answer to the charge. Suspicion rested upon Corman, before his last trip from Uniontown to Washing. ton, on Wednesday night; but it was deem ed best by the agents, to make the arrest at the latter place, so as to prevent his sup posed accomplices from taking the alarm, and making their escape before the arm of the law should be upon them. With these views, tho agent of the Post office, with the warrant for Corn3an's arrest in his pocket, rode on the driver's seat with the latter all the way from Uniontown to Washington— Corman of course wholly unconscious of the business of the agent, or of the impen ding arrest, at the end of the route. The following facts as to the manner in which these mail robberies have been effec ted, are given in the Washington Reporter of Saturday—based on the confessions of Corman:—On reaching the Post Office in Uniontown, where the coaches are usually changed, all the mails were discharged ex cept the Eastern Mail above referred to; this was retained in the coach, per arrange ment, until driven into the yard, where the accomplices of the driver, received it, and conveyed it to the office of Dr. Braddee, when, on being rifled of its contents, the bags were thrown into a privy appurtenent to the premises. This was done on the nights of the 15th, 19th, 23d, and 29th of November, and on the sth, 12th and lEth of Dec. Corman charges Braddee and his con federates with having been his tempters to the commission of these robberies--alleg ing that he had resisted their importunities to embark in the robbery of the mail, for a period of eighteen months, but plied alter nately by their threats and their piomises he at last yielded, and became their co worker in crime. Braddee is said to be the master spirit of the concern. His char acter seems to have been heretofore nny. thing but good, as we learn from the Re porter that he had sometime since been tried in the Fayette County Court, at two several terms, on charges of arson and fir gory. He was accritted in both cases by the jury (from insufficiency of evidence,) though not by public opinion, which is Wont to be less technical, in making up its verdicts. The subjoined letter from our correspon dent at Uniontown contains some farther de tails concerning the arrest, there made. It will be seen that upwards of $lO,OOO, of the money stolen from the mails has been re covered. Besides rifled mail bags, carpet bags, &c., sundry apparatus for coining mo ney, were also discovered on the premises of Braddee; from which it would seem that the evil operations of the confederacy were carried on, on a various and extended scale. Let us hope that their arrest, and their conviction, if guilty, will tend somewhat to arrest the progress of crime. Correspondence of the Baltimore Patriot UNIONTOWN, Pa. Jan. 81h, 1841. j o . ffire of the Pennsylvania Democrat. 5 Our town is now the theatre of great ex citement and commotion, growing out of the arrest of Dr. John F. Braddee, of this place, mid three tf his supposed confederates, who are charged with robbing the mail. Suspicion fell upon Mr. Gorman, the dri ver of the mail stage, who was arrested at the instance of %Ir. Plitt, a special agent of the Post office Department. He (Gorman) soon confessed the crime, and implicated Dr. Braddee, his clerk, Pinnell, and a per. son by the name of Strayer, who were sev erally arrested last evening nbout five o'clock. A guard was placed over the house and out-buildings of Braddee through the night; and in the morning search was made which resulted in finding no less than nine mail bags, labelled "New York," which hod been concealed in the bottom of the privy— further search was made—and a sum of money exceeding TEN TUOVSAND DOLLARS was found in the hay mow--besides sundry apparatus for coining money--pistols, trav elling trunks cut to pieces, &c. &c. They are all committed in default of giving bail, which was placed at a high amount. On the examination, Mr. Plitt gave it as his opinion that the sum extracted at this place, in cash and drafts must exceed one hundred thousand dollars. Great joy reigns here among all honest people, who now believe that if these men are found guilty of the of mice charged, there will be a check put up. on the daring depredations upon property which have been heretofore committed in this place and vicinity. We understand other commitments are contemplated. U. S. FOX Tug TisAw.—The papers come to us filled with accounts of the damage done by the late freshet, occasioned by the sudden melting of the snow. The aggregate loss will probably extend two millions of dollars. The New York American, of Saturday afternoon, states that the dam on the Cro ton River, with its heavy stone. protection wall 20 feet thick at the - base, has been en tirely carried away. Four or five bridges have likewise been destroyed. Several dwelling houses having been carried away, the inhabitants were compelled to seek ee• entity by climbing trees. It is ascertained that three if not more persons have perish. ed. The Trenton Gazette states that the rise of water in the Delaware was unexampled. The bridges at Yardleyville and Taylors villa have been totally destroyed. These bridges cost 20,000 each. The bridge over the Passiac from Patterson to Manchester, together with all the bridges to the West of Patterson, are gone. On Friday. the Delaware at Easton, Pa. was 35 feet above low water mark—Bicey's bridge, the Allentown bridge, the Bethle hem bridge, the Freemansburg bridge, and the Easton bridge on the Lehigh have all been carried away. The son of Mr. Lowe- ry was carried off by the flood and drown ed. In Philadelphia, the water covered the wharves, coming up as high as Water street. The Harrisburg Telegraph, of Saturday, says, that the ice opposite the town is bro ken up and tho raise of the river is rapid beyond all precedent. On the Conestoga, considerable damage has been done. Shirk's dam in Earl town ship, Bushong's dam at Hinkletown, and the Bridge at Hoover's in Lancaster town ship, have all been destroyed. Every stick of lumber belonging to Messrs. Cole man, Black & Co., Has cariied away by the rapidity of the current—their loss is estimated at about $3,1100. We ifave as yet heard of no destruction of property upon the Susquehanna.—Lancaster Union. DISASTROUS FLOOD-LOSS OF HU MAN LIFE. Our paper this morning teems with ap palling accounts of disasters by freshets resulting from the rain of last week. The loss of property on ell hands seems to be immense; and in several places human life has been added to the sacrifice. Most afflictively rile with such painful ntelligence is the following extract of a otter, received by private express, dated One of the most awful and tremendous freshets tliet has ever happened in This part of the State has taken place here. it com menced raining'last evening, and has not ceased yet. There will be few closed eyes in Mauch Chunk this night. Our town is all afloat. There is a mighty torrent run ning the whole width of the main street some six feet deep. On one side the in mates have left the lower story and taken to the second for safety. It is an awful night. House after house is going down the Lehigh. All three of the saw riills --•-40 • •••••- MAUCH Cuorm, Jan. 7, 1841. Thursday evening, 11 o'clock. have gone. Two stone stables at the hotel also gone. Whole houses are passing.— One of the large packet boats broke loose, and passed down close to the piazza of the hotel, which is two stories high. What the damage is below we dare not think of. We fear ere to•morrow's dawn many valu able citizens wilt have found a watery grave. Friday evening.— Our darkest forebo dings have been more than realized. All our beautiful navioatinn, above and below, is swept away. Dams, locks, lock-house, inmates and all, are gone. Those tremen dous locks are entirely swept away. The bridges above and below are gone. The large railroad bridge at the end of the Nar rows, the one at Lehighton, Gap, &c., are all gone. Out of twenty houses, from Squire Sayres to Lehighton, but four re main; and very many of the inmates are gone with them. Those who heard them, say their shrieks for help was most appall ing. Every account grows more dreaded. The river is a clear stream from mountain to mountain. A PERILOUS ADVENTURE.—The freshet has caused a number of serious accidents; but the most interesting ono which we have heard of, occurred at Norristown. The circumstances are as follows:—A fine new canal boat drifted from some place above Norristown, anti struck the shore just above the town. Seven men boarded her, with the intention of taking her to a place of greater safety, and therefore commenced pushing her off from the shore with poles; but no sooner was she free from the land, than the current swept her rapidly down the stream. A long rope which was on board was thrown out to some men on the shore, who caught it, and made it fist around the trunk of a tree; but was parted in an instant, and the boat drifted swiftly down the stream towards the bridge, ,ender which the water was running to within six inches of the floor. Two men who were near the bridge saw the boat coming down. and hearing the cries of the men, ran swift ly round to the bridge, and succeeded in re moving several weather boards from the aide before the boat reach it. The boat came down bow foremost, and struck with much violence against the bridge, directly opposite one of the openings which had been made, and heeled slowly round, giving time to the men to leap through the opening. A moment after they had got safely out, the boat sunk under the bridge, and came out on the other side completely broken in half. Had not the two persons last named remov ed the boards from the side of the bridge, there is no doubt that the whole sevan men would have been killed. AWFUL MURDER IN VIROINIA.—The Danville (Va.) Repo: ter of the let. cantains an account of one of the most awful series of murder ever perpetrated by a human be ing. It appeared in evidence before the Coroner's Jury, that on the 22d December, a wretch by the name of James E. Lanier, accompanied by three negroes, proceeded to the house of one Betsy Freeman, and de liberately murdered Mrs. Freeman, her daughter Eliza Freeman, and two small boys, the children of the said Eliza. He beheaded one or two of them, beat out the brains of the others with an ace, piled their bodies together, covered them with straw, and then set fire to them. The murderer was prompted to the deed because the boys were his children, and he wanted to get rid ofthe liability of supporting them. It ap peared in evidence, that one of the boys, about 4 years of age, alarmed by the mur der of his mother and grand mother, caught the monster around the legs, and implored him to save his life. He had scarcely ut tered his request when his head was sever ed with a - single blow from his body. The murderer has not been apprehended, though his accomplices were in jail.

And we further pray your hon. orable bodies to raise the price of licences, and to stiller public houses to be kept with out licences. where intoxicating liquors aro not sold or given away.

Kenwick, were procee'ding from Bangor to Canada, and on their arrival near Made wasea,l` a party of armed British soldiers met them. Mr. Cady inquired of one of the soldiers the most direct road to take. He gave him the necessary information, when four others came up and asked Mr. Cady some imper tinent questions as to the object of his jour. ney; Mr. C. replied very properly and pro ceeded to turn the horses into the road, when ore of the squad stepped in front ofl the carriage and asked what the feelings of the people were in relation to the burning of the Caroline. Mr. Templeton said they were very nat urally indignant at such a dastardly act, and thnt every' true American warmly expressed ft hope that McLeod, the leader of the of fenders should suffer tho severest punish ment of the laws of the country—"lf Mc- Leod burnt that old hulk," replied the sold. ier, "he deserves our thanks, and if a hair of his head is injured, you, and your damned countrymen will be made to repent in dust and ashes." The gentlemen made no other reply to this insolent remark than to request the leaders to allow them a free and unmolested passage. But four or five of the cowards seized the reins, and charged the gentlemen as "spies," and refused to let them pass un• less they subjected themselyes to a search. The gentlemen remonstrated upon this un paralled proceeding, and as they were un armed, not having even a cane to protect themselves with, they were unable to offer any resistance. One of the ruffians then seized .Mr. Cady by his coat and attempted to pull him from the carriage, the other two gentlemen threw the soldier from the carriage, who fell pros trate in the street. The whole party then came up and made a dreadful attack upon the gentlemen, during which Mr. Cady was knocked down with the butt of a musket, and .Ir. Templeton received a severe wound in the shoulder with a bayonet; Mr. Kan wick attempted to escape by running, but one of the party fired upon hire and he re ceived a ball in his right thigh—he fell to the ground from the wound. At this stage of the crisis one of the off'. core came up and checked further hostili. ties. He immediately procured assistance, and had the wounded gentleman conveyed to the camp and medical aid immediately procured for him. After which they were by their request taken to the town from which they last came, where a deposition was drawn up and the facts above recorded sworn to. Our informant states that the gentlemen are in a fair way to recover. He was to have started for Washington by the early train via Worcester this morning. *Madawaska is at present strongly garri son by British troops. SIR JOUN HAlt VEY '8 LETTER.—The fol lowing letter, recently communicated to the Legislature of Maine, possesses interest, as connected with the recent movement of Bri tish Troops. Great Britain, we fear, is not so anxious for the adjustment of this difficul ty as she should be, all the circumstances considered, and especially with the declara tions and admissions of her Parliament pri or to 1820. It will be seen that in the case under notice, Sir John, whose loyalty can not be questioned, appears to consider the movement of the Governor General as some what unnecessary: GOVERNMENT HOUSE, Frederickson, N. B. Decem ber 10th, 1840. Srn,—As your Excellency will doubtless be informed that a detachment of Her Ma jesty's troops has lately arrived in. the Ma dawaska settlement, I deem it to consist with that frankness by which I trust my intercourse with the authorities of Maine has always been characterized, to acquaint you that the movement in question, made by order of the Governor General of these provinces, has no other object than to give support to the civil authorities of that set. tlement—one of whose magistrates, Francis Rice, Esq , has been grossly insulted, threatened with personal violence, and ob structed in the discharge of his duties by persons professing themselves to be citizens of the state of Maine—and another, James McLaughlin, Esq., also a magistrate of this province and holding the office of "war.. den of the disputed territory," has been threatened by the person in charge of the armed posse stationed at "Fresh River," with being arrested and sent as a prisoner to Augusta, in the event of his persevering in the performance of the duties imposed upon him by the Government of the Queen, and that of this province. • Whether the assertion made, as I am assured, by this person, that in holding this language he is only acting in accordance with his instructions, be correct or other wise, your Excellency will best know—but refusing, as I have done, to believe that he can have received any authority for a pro. ceeding which I must regard as inconsistent with existing engagements, I have not hes itated in expressing to the Governor Gen eral my conviction that an armed civil pha se, corresponding in amount and description with that maintained by Maine, will be found quite adequate to effect the object in view, viz: the prevention of acts of unauthorized ntzgressinn or interference, as regards the inhabitants or authorities of Madawaska 6 Pttlernent—nnd I have accordingly no rellaen to deeht, that, acting upon this sug gestinn, Ills Excellency will forthwith give direction for 'he troops to be withdrawn to their former stations. I have the tumor to bo, vv4h great eonaid• era tine, your Excellency's must obedient servant, J X /IVEY His Ex. the Gov. of the State of Maine. REPUBLICAN BANMJER. GETTYSBURG. January 10. 1841. DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION. The friends of General Harrison in Penn sylvania are respactfully invite J to elect Delegates to a State Convention, to be held in the Court House of Harriiburg, at 10 o'clock, A. M. on WEDNESDAY, the 10th day of March, 1841, for the purpose of selecting a candidate for the office of Governor,to be supported by the Democratic party of the State at the approaching gen. eral election. Each county, and the city of Philadelphia, will send delegates to the Convention, equal in number to their members in the State Legislature. THOMAS H. BURRO%VES, JOHN PRICE WETHERILL, JOHN C. MONTGOMERY, FRANCIS PARKE, WILLIAM M'CLURE, THOMAS ELDER, JOSEPH WALLACE, SAMUEL ALEXANDER, BELA BADGER, JAMES GREGORY, JOHN H. WALKER, SAMUEL D. CULBERTSON, JAMES STEEL. Harrisburg, January 6, 1841. The old Democratic day for nominating the candidate for Governor (4th of March,) is departed from in iho present instance, in order to afford all who desire it, an opportu nity to attend both the State Convention, and the inauguration of President Harrison. We are indebted to the Hon. Jamas Cooran for important public documents. Finii.—We regret to learn that the tavern house, belonging to Mr. John Slentz of this bor ough, end occupied by Mr. C. Hildebrand, about three miles east of town, on the York road, was totally destroyed by fire on Thursday morning last. The fire is said to have originated from a stove pipe. Comas Ess.—But !Ale of interest has transpired in either branch of this body during the past week. The pre-emption bill, which has been before the Senate for several weeks, was still under discus sion on Saturday last. On Friday last the House confirmed Mr. Naylor's title to the seat which he holds in that body by election of the people. The vote stood—yeas 118, nays 85. DELEGATEB.—The following gentlemen have been appointed to the Harrison State Convention by our political brethren of Ad. anis county:—T. Stevens, Esq., Hon. Wm. M'Clean, D. M. Smyser, Esq., A. R. Ste. venson, Esq., J. M'Ginley, B. Gilbert, Esq. and Rev. C. Wnyl.—Phila. inquirer. All a mistake, Mr. Inquirer. The gentlemen named above were appointed delegates to the State Temperance Convention, by your Temperance "brethren of Adams County." One of the gen tlemen named, would doubtless, greatly object to attending ..the Harrison State Convention" in the capacity of a delegate. The Judge is at this time an office holder under Gov. Porter, and could not think of sacrificing his means of obtaining "bread and butter," by attending a Democratic Harrison Convention. No, indeed! Ho is too fresh a De mocrat to think of it. The Public Lauds. We learn from the Harrisburg Intelligencer of yesterday morning that the resolutions offered by Mr. WILLIAMS in the Senate, passed second and final reading on Saturday, with an amendment suggested by Mr. Psartsorr, the effect of which is, to instruct our Senators, and request our Repro. sontatives in Congress to vote against any pre omption law having for its object the throwing open of the public domain, hereafter, to actual settlers. It will be seen that when the final test was presented, on the call of the yeas and nays, only nine Senators mustered courage sufficient to vote directly against the interest of our debt-bur dened Commonwealth. The names of these Sen ators are as follows: Messrs. Brown, Coplan, Crispin, Fegely, Gib one, Hays, Patterson, Plumer and Snyder. THE New Lo►a.—A bill has passed both bran• chew of the Legislature authorizing the Governor to negotiate for a loan of $BOO,OOO for five years at six per cant. to meet the interest on the State debt falling due on the first of February next. STATE TEIABU6ZEI.—Both Houses of thete gislature will meet to-day (Tuesday, Jan.l9,) for the purpose of electing a State freasurer. JUDGE PARDO:M—Gov. Portor's nomination of Anson D. Parsons for the office of Judge of the counties of Dauphin, Lebanon and Schuylkill, was confirmed on Saturday last, by an unanimous vote of the Senate. MASSACHUSETTS U. S. SENATOU.—The Hon. ISAAC C. BATES, Whig, of Northampton, Mass., has been elected to the U. S. Senate by the Legis lature of that State s in place of the Hon. John Davis resigned, and also for the new term of six years from the 4th of March next. The Hagerstown Torch Light states that the Hagerstown Bank commenced issuing, on the Ist inst.,s's and 10's on their now plates—each denom ination A and B. Officer's names Alex'r Neill, President—Elio Beatty, Cashier—payable on de mand to hearer. No 20's 60's or 100's have yet bceu issued by the Bank. UNITED STATES SENATORS IN DELAW•IIL. Tho Delaware Legislature have elected the Hon. Thos. Clayton, and the Hon. Richard H. Bayard, both friends of General Harrison, to reproseut that State in the Senate atlas Union. DIATII or IM•a. Hier:ex.—The Harrisburg Chronicle of Friday teat, rays.—lt will he seen by a notice in this morning's paper that Mr. Hickok has at last sank under the dreadful injury he re ceived from a rail road car passing over him sev eral weeks since. It was confidently• believed that, as he survived through the Gret few days and seemed to be in a fair way of recovery; he would be spared to the community. But the hr.prA of his friends could not says him. James Thompson was elected Mayor of tho Ci ty of Pittsbur g on Tuesday last. Mr. Thompson is a firm Harrison Democrat. FROM HARRISBURG. Correspondence of the Gettysburg Star and Banner lhanianonn, Jan. 13, 1841 Data 81n:—A considerable portion of the time of the House was consumed to-day in tie discus sion of the bill reported yesterday by Mr. Flenni ken, from the committee on N't"ays and Means, authorizing and requiring the Governor to sell and transfer all the stock belonging to the Common wealth in the Banks of Pennsylvania, Phila. dolphin, the Farmers' & Mechanics' and Co lumbia Bridge Company, in order to meet the payment of the interest due on the State loan on the first of February 1841. The Governor in his message recommends the sale of so much only as is required for the payment of the interest, which is $BOO,OOO. The bill provides that none of the stock shall be sold under par. Messrs. Flenniken of Fayette,Wright of Luzerne, and Crabb,(Speak er,) addressed the House in favor of the pa f s age of the bill, and Messrs. Darsie of Pittsburg, Kerr of Washington, and Cox of Somerset, in opposi tion to it. Before the first section, however, was disposed of on second reading, the further exami nation of the subject was postponed until to-mor row. The House then proceeded to the election of Printer of the bills, which resulted on the second ballot in the choice of H. Montgomery, (Whig:) for Montgomery, 50 votes; Scattering, (Loco 6- co,) 48 votes. Mr. Johnston of Armstrong, vet' for Mr. Montgomery. The House then resumed the election of Prin ter of the English Journal, which resulted on the first ballot as fellows, viz: for James S. Wallace, (Whig,) one of the editors of the Pennsylvania Telegraph, 50 votes; Henlock & Bretton, (Loco foco,) 45 votes; Peter Hay & Co. 2 votes; Gloss brenner & Small I vote. Mr. Johnston voted for Mr. Wallace. In the Senate, the resolutions instructing our Senator. to vote for a repeal of the Sub-Treasury were under considenaion. [COMMUNICATED. AIITICLE 6ru, of the Constitution of the "Teta Abstinence Temperance Society of Gettya burg." [Published by order of Society.] "Tim members of this Society, by signing this Constitution, are to be considered as pledged by every principle of conscience, honor and moraltity, to abstain wholly from the use of all intoxicating liquors as a beve rage; they shall not procure them as an en tertainment, or for any persons in their em ploy; nor shall they traffic in them in any manner or form, except for mechanical pur poses, or as a medicine, prescribed by a physician; nor shall they assist in procuring the traffic in them, by signing petitions for Tavern Licenses." PARDON OF A MAIL ROBBER.—Geo. Vil• son, who was convicted in 1830 of robbing the mail and who has ever since been in Cherry Hill prison, has been pardoned by the President. Porter, who was an accom plice, was hung. At the time ofhis execu Lion, gloat excitement, it will be remember. ed, was occasioned by the supposed partial ity of Gen. Jackson in respittng Wil-on, the American, and hanging Porter, an Irslin3an. LATER FROM FLORIDA.—More Indian Murders.—We learn from the Charleston Courier of Wednesday that the Indians have committed more murders in Florida, and that, too, in the immediate vicinity of the U. S. military stations. It appears that Lieutenant SHERWOOD and Mrs. Moisrmommt ir, wife of Lieutenant MoigTooneuy, of the 7th Regiment of In fantry, were riding out for pleasure, a few days since, under an escort of soldiers, and, when only tw.► miles from the military post at Micanopy, were fired upon by a party of Indians. Lieut. SHERWOOD, Mrs. Morrr 00HERY, a sergeant major, and two privates of the escort, were killed. Mrs. M. was from Cincinnati, and had been matried but a short lime. Tho news was brought to Fort Fanning by express on the 29th ult. Five privates were missing at the time the express left Micanopy. Two wagoners, on the road from Pilatka to Fort Russell, were shot by the Indians on Tuesday last. They had started out a few hours in advance of the escort, and were shot 7 miles from Pilatka. The Savannah Republican of Monday last says that "the news in relation to the capture of the Indians by Col. HARNEY is confirmed by the arrival at this port last evening of the schooner Laurana, Captain Swasey, in 24 hours from St. Augustine." REMARKABLE CUM.—The Providence Journal says a surgical operation was per formed last week, by Dr. L. L. Miller, upon a lady in Massachusetts, which consisted in removing from the body a perfect and dead child, which weighed four pounds and six ounces. She had carried the dead burden more than six years, and in the menu time has given birth to three full grown children, the last of which is 14 months old. She sustained the operation well, and has a lair prospect of recovery. BEAT 711 zs CA .—Mr. James Wal lace, of Decatur county, (Indiana,) has rain ed from a single grain of corn, at twice plan. ting, the astonishing amount of 38 bushels. The growth of the first year was a volunteer stalk which was carefully cultivated. It produced nine small ears, two on the main atalk,.the remainder on sovea suckers, on which there were 3,650 grains. This pro. duct was planted and well cultivated, produ cing, u above stated 36 bushels. BONES or• BLAOII HANVIC,=-Wd gather the following facts from the Burlington (1. T.) Hawk Eye: —These bones which were stolen from the grave about a year since have been received and are now in the Governer's office. The wampum, het, dm which were buried with the old chief. have i been returned with the hones. It appears that they were taken to St. Louis and there cleaned: they were then sent to Quincy ton dentist to bo put up and wired previous to being sent east. The dentist was cautioned not to deliver them to any ono until a re• qusition should be made by Gov. Lucas. Gov. Lucas made the necessary requisition, and they wore sent up a few days since, by the mayor ofQuincy and are now in the pos. session of the Governor. He has sent word to Nasheaskuk z Black Hawk's son, or to the family, and some of them will probably call tbr them in a few day'. Mr. Edgerton the phrenologist, has taken an exact drawing of the skull. CLOVES.—The tree which produces this well known spice is a native of the East In dies, and in its general appearance resem bles the laurel; the parts used are the unex pended flowers, which acquire their dark brown color from the smoke in which they are dried in order to preserve their aromat ic qualities. CELAN9E AND PURIFY THE BODY•—The application of tho principle of Purgation being allowed to be one of the greatest utili ty in the cure and prevention of diseases, it is the greatest consequence to ascertain what medicine is capable of producing thu desired effect, in the easiest, and nt the sam:: time, in the most effectual manner. Brandreth's Vegetable Universal Pills remove all noxious accumulations, and pu rify and invigo:ate the blood, and their good effects arc not counterbalanced by any in convenience; being composed entirely of vegetables they do not expose those who use them to danger; and their effects aro us certain as they are salutary . ; they are daily and safely administered to infancy, youth, manhood and old age, and to women in the most critical and delicate circumstances.
