The last luiniber of the Jici.'ue Encydo-
patdiqut contains a rapid, hut singularly
interesting', review of the progress which
h;i* been made in the science of govern-
ning of this ccntury, tlicir towns were
yet small and poor; thf'y now vie in ex
tent, in population, and in be.'inty, with
the capitals of Kuropc. At tho bi'ij^in-
nint^; oi' this century, the Lnited States
bore with difticulty the wcij^ht of their
national debt; now their funds arc no
lon.^er cpioted at the London Mxchange ;
their debt is reduced to almost notliing,
and they are indel)tccl only to thetnselves.
At the beginnini!^ of this ccntury, their
commerce, their industrv,and even their
ment, during the last 25 years. It is
from th»; pen of Sis.vio.vui, one of tlie a- -
blest writers in Kurope. A translation t capitals ;
, at uresetit- notwithstanflmo- tlu* iminiMi-
been prepared by Mr. Duponceau
has
for the Port Tolio j and lor the acconi-
niodation of those who are not subscri
bers to this Journal, a few copies have
beeti published in the pamphlet form, to
which the translator has prelixed a pre
face. We should presume that the names
of Slsmondi and J)upunceau would, of
themselves, be a suflicient attraction lor
these pagesi which, in a short compass,
present a philosophical and animated pic
ture of the present state of the civilized
world. The following extract will show
how justly the historian of Itaiinn Litera
ture ostin>ates the condition of the people
of these states.-—Dailij Adv.
“The Umtkd St.\tks of /Ymehica re
present the progressive tendency which
the |)romo_ters ol one ol these opinions
are striving to give to mankind. Since
their enuhicipation, and particularly du
ring the last quarter of a century,.'their
go\crnment has sliown no hesitation in
its firm resolution to march forward, to
favor with all its might the progress of
knowledge, virtue and liberty ; and the
rapid increase of the prosperity of the
United States has surpassed ajl that lias
ever been known on the face of the earth.
In order to judge of this, we must not lose
sight of the point from which they start
ed. 1 he founders ol the colonies were fu
gitives of all political and religious sects,
each of which had been persecuted in its
turn ; they carricd with them the germs
of every aniujosity, they were fdled with
xi present, notwith.standin.g tho immen
sity of their undertaking, their own cap
itals are sulficient to support tl;cni : they
overflow in the trade of Kurope and In
dia; they thron;; in the slates of Ameri
ca that n*ere lauiy Spanish, and impart
to them all the arts of rivilization. This
is what tiie Americans have done during
the last 25 yeais ; they have advanced,
anti are ;:dvan(.ing; is it then to be won
dered at tliat we should wish to advance
likewise.
From t!ie National Gazette.
The two literary works which have
exclled the stiongest sensation, and are
soufjht wi:ii jiiost avidity, in Paris and
London, are (ieneral Segur’s “ History
of Napoleon and tlie Grand Army in the
Canipaigii of Jiussia,” and the jjersonal
Memoirs of INIadanie de Genlis. Many
thousand copies of the former were im
mediately purchased, and translations of
it made in several languages. We have
not seen tlie work itself, but merely ex
tracts in the London Journals. Only two
volumes of tiie Memoirs of Madam de
(ienlis have ai)peared, and tlie narrative
is brought down in them no later than
the death of \’oltaire. 'I'liese we have
perused in the I'.nglish translation. Our
opinion of them (oincides entiiely w ith
the following, wliich is pronounced in
the London Literary Gazette :
“'I'he work is entirely a production of
very consideral)le interest; though tliere
are many parts which in.spirc langor, es
pecially in the English Header, nnacquain-
ted witli tlie families and persons of a
multitude of the characters, of fifty and
xhibited at Albany, during the late ses
sion of the legislature. Amon}> the most
ingimious of the hitter description, we
have examined, and witnessed the oper
ation, of a !ai)our saving; machine for va
rious purposes, invented by Mr, Low kes,
ol Catskili. The machine occtipies a-
bout the same sjiace as an ordinary f.m-
ning mill, and coinl)incs the finalities oC
corn slieller, a straw ciittcr, a corn
mill, (lor grituling) a fanning; mill, and
one or two others which we do not recol
lect. Tho whole is worked l>y a boy \7
years old, by treadles, after ihe'manner
ol a loom. A jiatent has been taken out,
and !NIr. F. has sold the right for a sin
gle county for 4(H) dollars. We hope he
will Im; rewarded for his ingenuity.
X I*. Com. Adv.
Prom the Norfolk (\’a.) Hcmld, April 18.
Mr. KdUor : I am told that at our elec
tions lor Delegates, tiie candidates have
in some (1 hope very few) instances so
lar lorgot wliat was due to their own
characters, and to tlie moral welfare of
society, as to seek to innuencc the votes
of the electors by distribiuiii}!^ Tuiuor at
tiie tavern bai s, to ail who might vote
for them—in other words, attempting to
i)uy votes at the rate ol half a gallon oC
rum or ajiple-jack per dozen, oi- the pri
vilege, per siiij^Ie one, of gettin.g glori
ously coniid without pay. Now I say,
the catididate who would resort to suck
des])icable means to aid his election,
proves by the very act that he is unde-
.s»>ryingof public respect and confidence-
If it were po.ssil)le (and God forbid ic
should be!) that there could be as many
tii)Iers and rum-su« kers in a county ca
pable of selling their glorious I>irth-right
tor a glass ()1 grog, as would carry tho
election of a candidate j^ainst the sense
of the sober ]Klrt of ihcifrjmniunity, all I
can say is, he might be their rejiresenta-
tive, but certainly never .should be mine.

DISTUHBANCK.S AMONG THE INDIANS.
'i'he storm which has been gathering;
over the Creeks, since tiie late treaty
with a part of their nation, has at last
burst in full fury, utul threatens th«‘ most:
terrible consecpiences to that unfortunate
peo|)le. That those ul u distance may
rightly understand tlu; causes and ciia-
racter of iliese disturbances, it may be:
necessary to make some preliminary ob
servations.
It is well known that a large moiety of
tin: Indians iiave long been opposed to
the princiide of ceding their territory.
Beginning to appreciate the advantagt'S
of civilization, and to jirefer the agricul
tural to the savage life, they were ma
king improvements on tiie soil, and cul
tivating the arts of peace. Feeling the
same attachment to tiie sjjot «>f iheir birtU
and the graves of their futliers, as people:
of more civilised climes; and relying on
the promise of the Utiited States that;
they should not he removed but witli
their own consent, they were determined
not to part with their land, and had
threatened death to any of their chicfa*
who should propose such a measure.
VVlien it was known, therefore, that
l\I‘Intosh, head chief of the Cowetas, and
a lew ol his followers had taken it upoii
themselves to make a treaty, wilhout the
approbation of their nation, and had ac
tually ceded away the whole of their
land, sold their country, and stipulated
for the removal of the whole tribe beyond
the Mississippi, which, for a time, they
could iiot Ijelieve, their rage and animos
ity knew no bounds. .-Ml who had .si;>,li
ed th(? treaty were dechired outlaws, and
their lives tliieat(»nrd on tln-ir return.
Il was at this junctu’^e that ('ol. Eamar
was despalciied into tlie nation l>y his l!x-
celienry («ov. Troup, tlireatening theia
with vengeance if lh»>y ofieied lo harm,
his goofi cousin, (Jen. M‘!ntosh, and the-
others w iio had signed the treaty. La
mar came l)ack, aiul stated, that the Indi
ans were peaceal>le and satisfied ; and
that those who had pnlilished the co!i-
Irary were guilty d’ mis,'epresentalion»
and were trying to stir tin; sa\ages up tcj
misciiiel. .
For some time M‘Intnsh and his ad
herents seemed afraid to go back ; Iiut
the jjroniise of assistance and protection,
iiad so lar lulled tljeir appta iiensions, that
they \entwred to tiieir hunies. Fatal se

uliiies were c(;mmi'iiced ag-ainst tliem.
