Paris is horor fed jast now, with the de
tails of a surgical disclosure, showing the
grounds of rumor which has been for some
time whispered through the noble circles
of Europe. It has been credibly asserted
for a year past, that there wast shut up in
the Hotel at Berlin, a young Polish Coun

band, but who had : the draw-back, (or
rather the MAltE-daaw back) of a skeleton
head on an otherwise healthy body. The
story has been somewb at doubted, but a

This is the way in i which she has pro

this very quarter. f (!

did she send over her Minister with his
ultimatum. I 1 .
,Had that negotiation failed and war
been the consequence, it is folly to suppose
that the commencement of hostilities would
have been announced on her part, except i
from the mouth of her cannon;; for when
she goes in for a fight, it is but a word
and a blow with her, and the blow comes
first
Seeing, therefore,! that, without being
aware of it, you have been so closely
threatened on the Lake, it ; becomes you
seriously to consider what you would do,
and what .are your means of def ence, in
case of an actual attack in that quarter.

Works in Canada informs us that, though
the Welland Canal is not finished, nor will
be. for a. year to come, yet it can pass ev

up, three steamers of 1,905 tons will com

Now. I am told that your i merchants
have in their Lake marine 25 large stea
mers of 500 tons and upwards, 50 brigs
and schooners, besides innumerable small
craft," capable of bearing an i armament
and defending the Lake. Butddyou not
know that there is (not,; from one end of

canals jwere. constructed for military pur
poses, and it would be at variance with
the character of that Government to sup
pose it; capable of military blunder of con
structing such works, and neglecting to
provide any means for holding or defend
ing them. Before you knew she was com
ing, her ships would be upon you. The
object and purposes of war are not the
fighting of. pitched battles in the "Bay ot
Fundy," or elsewhere. Fighting is the
mere 1 incident, the contingent results of
war. When the British burnt Washing
ton, they did not come here to fight. They
cajne, as they would go upon the Lakes,
to ravage and to waste, to distress, to crip
ple, and to kill. These are the great pur
poses of war the military, end and aim
of these ship canals that lead into the heart
of the Country. Therefore, to fail to pro
vide for your defences, and talk about pro
tecting your Lake towns and commerce
after the cruisers of the enemy have got
in among you, by stopping up these ca
nals, taking! Montreal, &c, would be like
shutting- the gates after the wolf had en
tered the fold and been glutted.
Montreal is the key to the Canadas;
and Great Britain understands its impor
tance too well to let it fall by a mere sum
mons from the M the militia." Whether,
therefore, we should be able to blow up the
canals, and invest Montreal even after the
ships Were in possession of the Lakes,
would, I humbly submit, depend somewhat
on the fortunes of war.
But suppose that, by some strange in
fatuation, Great Britain 'should suffer us
to take her canals and her cities without
a-struggle, how would that repair the da-
mages by her fleet upon the Lakes ?
I have no intention to waste ink and
paper as to modes of attack. My object
is not to show how we may act after we
get into trouble, but rather how we may
best act to keep out of trouble.
, Fully impressed with the almost total
neglect by the General Government of
providing means of national defence on
the Lakes, I shall endeavor to show in my
next how much has been expended for the
general defence in other quarters. .What
portion of the same you have contributed,
and what benefit you have received in re
turn. I I ; '

HARRY BLUFF, U. S. N.
The British Government seems disposed
to relinquish its efforts to play out the ill
acted farce in which it performed so prom
inent a part as universal philanthropist.
It has ceased to contend for the privilege
of searching all trading vessels at sea- a
task which however troublesome, it was
willing to undertake for the sake of sup
pressing the-slavetrade. Along with this
abandonment, the policy of discriminating
against the products of slave labor is vir
tually given up a policy which never
had the semblance of consistency, because
no such discrimination was ever made a
gainst cotton.
In accordancef with the new direction
now given to her commercial system, Eng
land has authorized her Minister at the
Court of Brazil to enter into treaty with
that country without insisting upon cer
tain points which were formerly involved
m the stipulations proposed. 1 he conven
tion which existed until lately between
Great Britian and Brazil having expired
by limitation of time, the latter Power was
unwilling to renew it upon terms so la
vourable to England as were contained
in the defunct treaty. In relation to this
subject the Liverpool 1 imes says :
By, the accounts from Rio, it appears
that our own Government, after riding the
high horse so magnanimously with regard
to Brazil, has authorized the English Min
ister !to announce to the Brazilian Gov
ernment that hej has received full powers
to negotiate another commercial treaty in
the place of that which was so unwisely
allowed to expire. The Brazilian Gov
ernment has met this announcement by
the appointment of commissioners empow
ered to treat with him ; and as the British
Government has itself solicited the renew
al of negotiations, we may venture to
hope! that it is prepared to accede to rea
sonable terms. The anti-English papers
have already set up a loud outcry against
the renewal of the negotiations, but the
Government papers answer them firmly,
declaring that the Brazilian ministers are
willing to negotiate, but that they are de
termined not to agree to any terms which
will compromise either the dignity or the
interests of the country. The meaning of
this probably is, that they are determined
not to allow any mierierence in meir in
ternal affairs under the pretext of suppress
inff slavery, and to insist on something
like kn eaualitv of- duties - on Brazilian
and British'produce. They are certainly
right in both respects. Bait. Amer.

THE STATE? OF FRANK LAND.
It may not be generally known that, in
the year 1784, North Carolina passed a
law ceding the country, which now forms
the state ot lennessee, to the United
States, provided Congress should accept
the cession within two years ; the juris
diction to be retained by North Carolina
till Congress should take possession. Up
on this, the citizens called a Convention,
oy which the laws ot North Carolina, as
far as applicable, were declared to be in
force in the territory, and the aid of Con
gress was invoked, for the formation of a
new State. Meanwhile, they ordained
that the territory should be governed bv
a Convention, and that this Convention,
should send a.delegate to Congress.
Congress did not accept this cessions
and North Carolina repealed her lay.-4
Meantime, however, parties, were formeq
in Tennessee; and while, on one side, ij
was wished to return under the jurisdicl
tion of North .Carolina, on the other sidS,
it was resolved to adhere to the separa
tion. A new Convention was called, and
the territory was declared to be an inde
pendent state, under the name of Frank
land. The Convention announced to N.
Carolina the independence of the new
state, and sent a delegate to Congress ;
but it does not appear that any notice was
taken, by that body, of the proceedings.
In 1786, the state of Frankland had two
conflicting Courts in its limits. The one
acted under the authority of theirown
state, and the other under that of North
Carolina. Each Court claimed, that its
decisions were paramount ; and in fact,
the only one, that had a right to act in the
ease. A more fruitful source of collision
and quarrel cannot be imagined, than such
a state. The Sheriff . of Frankland, with
his posse, in some instances, went into the
Court, seized the papers, and turned the
officers out of doors. The JSTorth Carolina
party, as soon as it had power, retaliated
in the same way. Colonel John Sevier
was elected the first Governor of the state
of Frankland. The Governor, soon after
his induction into office, met the principal
man on the North Carolina side of the
question. From the windy and inefficient
war of words, it soon proceeded to the
more decisive war of blows. The argu
ment was soon settled inthe primitive
way by the dint of fist. But these leaders
of state were separated, before victory
declared on either side. Their humbler
retainers, as they felt in duty bound, imi
tated the example of their superiors, and
lost an eye, or a piece of flesh of less im
portance from some other part of the bo
dy, without being either cooled, or con
vinced. It was obvious, that in such a
crisis things must soon come to a more se
rious issue, than a fist-fight, or gouging
an eye.
The county of Washington elected mem
bers to represent them in the Assembly of
North Carolina. Col. Tipton, who had
fought the Governor of Frankland, was
one of these representatives. A paper
containing the names of those, who were
willing to accept the terms of North Car
olina, and secede from the authority of
Frankland, was sent by these members to
the Assembly, laxes, were imposed by
the authority of-both Legislatures, and, as
may be easily foreseen, the people paid
neither, .with much speciousness, assign
ing as a reason, that they did not know to
which authority they ought to yield their
money.
This year the Cherokees renewed their
attack upon Tennessee. William Cocke,
Esq., 3vas delegated to Congress. He
made, before that body, an eloquent speech,
placing in a strong light the helplessness
and misery of their condition, engaged in
civil war on the one hand, and assailed by
the merciless savages on the other. This
time he was heard, and his representa-
tions acted upon. A general amnesty was
i i it ri i
passea, in resrara ro an wno expressed a
readiness to yield themselves tothe au
thority of North Carolina.
It was enacted, too, that the officers,
who had held under the state of Frank
land, should be displaced, and their places
tilled by persons appointed from North
Carolina. Many, who held under the new
state,: had been originally appointed by
North Carolina, had been retained in their
offices by Frankland. They were eonsi
dered by Congress in the light of persons,
who. admitted the authority ol the new
state. The pacific, and yet decisive mea

The causes which, in his opinion re- .
auire the North to nlace itself in ; nnnnl. ;
ion to the South and the Union: is the nri.
nexation of Texas and the police regular
tions of South Carolina and Louisiana,
subjecting free negroes from the North to
imprisonment in certain crises. The Dit
ties of the North" Mr. Jay thus sums up.1 r
1. To regard the constitutional provi- ff
sions relative to fugitive slaves as utterly
revoked and abolished. ,
"2. To punish every individual, what
ever may be his office or condition, who
may have any agency, whatever in the
apprehension or surrender of a fugitive,
3. To punish every person who with
in our territory may exercise, by deed,
mortgage, or otherwise, ny authority o
ver slave property. , ; 7 p i

zens are imprisoned at the South, on act ,
count of their icomplexionto seize an ad- t
equate number of the citizens of the State ; '
committinglhe outrage, who may be foumt
on our soil, to hold them as hostages. for
the liberation and full compensation of w
said colored citizens. " . : x'lv
" 5. To petition Congress and the State '
Legislatures to take measures for an ahl-l
icable dissolution of the Union. ' 'r
Such mad and fanatical sjjggestionsV we r,-';
are sure will find no favor among the great
body of the Northern people. They are
too faithful in their devotions to our . Un
ion to countenance such destructive coun
sels. Apart from their regard for the Un
ion, thej' have too much good sense,! too
clear an apprehension of the common be
nefits North and South derive from the
Uuion, to join any such a crusade against
its peace and existence.

The following ' Declaration of Independ.

was made by the Vestry, and now standi record
ed on the books of St. Paul's Church, in Eden-

interest ; the similarity in expression and . sen
timent to the subsequent national declarsiioniis"
remarkably strange, to say no more. Mr. Jef
ferson fays he never saw nor heard of it before
he penned the instrument which alone would
have immortalized him. Let that pass. Here
we have an honest, open declaration of the
Christian vestry of a church in that good old

love of liberty was then above, all other love.
