The Churc.il of England indeed docs not flourish in Dominica, which, consider ing the |i;reat capacity aild spiritual af fections of the present worthy incuin- bcnt, is a matter of some surprise. I lielieve there are 2000 I’rotcstants in this colonv, of w’hich nund)er, the IMctbodists form the lara;er part ; about 16000 are j).Tpists under the care of three \Spanisli priests ; so that it is consolato ry to the sympathies of obese and li- tjuoscent men to know that if true reli- g;ion thrive not in Doniinca, at the least Its minister does upon an ample salary and just so much bi'eathinp; exercise on Suiiday as may conduct, to a good di- j;estion for the rest of the week. Not tliat 1 wotdd be thought to impeach the 7aiil of the rector of Roseau ; very far from it; it is too well known to be questlijned, and it argues an unusual \legree of apathy or stubbornness in those who are the laily witnesses of it, '.hat itsriTects are not more i.orceptible. ,Mr. Newman is ^reat and remarka- 1)1 e ; but-he is not so great and remarka ble ashi-s j)redecessor, Mr. Audain."

The chui'ter of our pri\ileg’os is our national ei'uracter. It was this, that boui'ht thcrn when our strength was not in sin ews, but in brave hearts ; in the spirit of men. that were resolved lo ‘do, or die.’ If other natiofis cannot attain to the sanic privile.^^t s ; if Sjiain, anti Poi’lui,;a!, and ludy cannot I>e I'k’c, it wdl be because ihe spirit ot' inleiiigcnt, virtuous, and courai,;eous freedom is not iti them. l.,et our people swerve front tliis, and it mat ters little whether, in name and in form, they are freetnen or slaves. Lei our na tional character fail in the threat trial, which it is passin.g throuy;h \ let luxury and excc-ss ^p-ow iu our cities ; let vice stalk abroad fearlc.ssly in our villages ; let our hardy ve'.-i,iaTiry become indolent, inefiicient, bai.knint in properly, and more baiikriipl in spirit; let oar noble youth lose me i)rinciples of a virtuous educati')Ji, and vie with each other in exii\.vaya'ice and irvellint^; and fare well to tiie dignity and joy of freedom.

Some af firm the queen-bce to be se’f-prolilic, and that tlie drones bear no jiait in the business of propagation. Many of the ancients as well as moderns, have sup- ])Oscd that the cgrjs of the female bee arc not impregnated wilh the mail sperm, while in the body of the crcature, but that they arc deposited un-imprcgnated in the cells ; and that the male after wards ejects the tnale sperm on them as they lie in the cells, in the same man ner as the generation of fishes is sup posed to Jie performed by the males im pregnating the spawn after it is cast out l)V the leiiialcs. This method of im- ]>regnating has been established be yond all contradiction, by the observa tions of Mr. Debraw of Cambridge. , It has been generally supposed that the cpieen-bee is the only female con tained in the hive ; and that the work ing bees are neutral, or of neither sex. Hut the observations of ^Ir. Scbirach, v.’inch arc confirmed by others of Mr, Debraw, go to prove, that all the work ing nr comnujn bees are females in dis guise; and the queen-bee lays two kinds "f egg, viz. those wliich are lo produce the drones, and those frorji which the w orking bees are to proceed : and from any one or mtire of tliese, one or more fliieens may be produced ; so that every worm of the latter or common kind*, which Ikis been hatclicd abou!, three days, is ca|v.d)le, under certain circuni- stanccs, of becoming the q:ii.‘cn, or mother of a hive. Mr. Sidiii’ach suppos es that the worm designed by the coni- munily, to be a queer., or mothei'. owes it.s metamoi’j)hosis into a (pu'cn, partly lo the e.vtraordinary sixe of its cell, and il.s iieciiliar position in it; bul jirincipal- ly to a ci'rtain appropri.'te (.•nirislimc‘ht lound tbeic, and c’aretiii!v adi'.iinisle'.'cd to it by the wc'rkiug bees whde it was . 1 tlie worm state.

Ciovcrnor Troup has, during last week, assumed a very warlike altitude ; lie has sounded the tocsin of alarm, and haj been beating up for recruits, to conimincc his war against the Indians.

The declared object of these prepara* lions, is to prcitect Mr. Fuli'^n. the En gineer, in his surveys of the Cherokee country. But the protection of Mr. I'ulton from imaginary danger, is, we presume, but a pretext, for sending a few hot headed men, with arms in their htind'-, into a savage nation, already provoked to die verge of hostility. It is no doubt hoped that some mischicf will come from it; some outrage may be perpetrated on one side or the other, which may serve as an excuse for the commencement of a w.ir of extermination. Tliis no doubt is llic concealed objcct. , The Indians arc too sensible of their own weakness as a nation, to enter delib erately into any measures of hostility a- gainst the whites $ altho’ it is higli'}’ probiible that lawless individuals may be pushed lo acts of desperation.
