A troop of Light Horse, from tho county of Fauquier, under the command 0t "Capt.TWd T. Iauntleroy, also arrived t lio same evening. Laying the Corner Stone This ce remony took dace on Tuesday, with ve ry imposing effect. About 9 o'clock the provident was escorted from his lodg jnTs to the Town Hall, where he was introduced to a number of citizens and strangers, who called to pay their re spects to the Chief Magistrate of the Nation. The day was fine, and the oc casion attracted a large concourse of persons from the adjoining counties. The procession set out from the Town Hall at half past 10 o 'clock, and moved according to the arrangement of the Committee, in the order and through the several si recta previously designated to the site of Monument. As the procession moved up Main street, the extended line, the various uni forms of the military, the glittering arms, die music, the dense mass that thronged ilie side walk, the crowded windows, overlooking the whole scene, altogether presented a view grand and imposing Arrived at the spot, after an appropri ate Prayer by the Rev. E. C. M'Guirc, an address was delivered by the Presi dent, and also by Mr. Basset, the plate with the inscription deposited and the other usual ceremonies were performed. The procession then returned to the Town Hall, where the proceedings were concluded, and the companies separated. TpThe New York Journal of Commerce fur- nihes the following explanation of the report,. published a lew days since, that the drafts of the U. States upon the Government of France, for the payment ot the first instalment under the French treaty of indemnity, had not been honored: The first instalment of five millions of francs under the French treaty of indemnity having fallen due, our Secre tary of the Treasury availed himself of the funds, as he had a righj to do, bv the mercantile process of the bill of ex change. The bill was negotiated by the Bank of U. States, and remitted to Baring, Brothers &, Co. who sent it over to Paris, for acceptance and payment. It was presented at the French Excheq uer, but the Chambers not having made a specific appropriation for the purpose, it could not be paid with mercantile promptness, and was dealt with accord ing to the custom of merchants, and pro tested, llottengeur & Co., however, to protect the mercantile honor of the U. S. Bank, paid the five millions of francs, and so took the bill out of the hands of the agents of Baring, Brothers & Co but the U. S. Government having no friend at hand, to protect it by the same liberal process, the bill has come back with the protest against them, and is, we presume, entitled to damages of 10 per cent. We do not see that blame can be attached to any one in the trans action, unless it be to some departments of the French Government, for not hav ing carried the business through the ne cessary forms at an earlier period. The affair is not attributable in the least, to any hesitancy on the part of that Gov ernment, to carry the treaty into full effect. The value of the five millions of francs, is very near one million of dollars. particularly, his grateful thanks for the numerous evidences which have been given of their kindness and good-will S !"hiLa reS!d;nce among of between H"rty and forty years.. It ja to ,lim 0 source of great consolation, that during the whole of his Editorial career not withstanding the bitterness of the polit ical conflicts through which he has W cd, he has rto recollection of ever bavin lost the esteem of a personal friend. oS account of any difference of opinion between them-a circumstance highly honorable to the citizens of the Ste", and faithfully indicative of their good sense and liberal feelings. Whilst he continuesln the enjoyment of his present health and spirits, he hopes to have the happiness of occasion ally revisiting the State, and of witness ing .its advancing in all useful enter prizes.

That any man in the State, who pretends to literary taste, or who has the slightest desire to promote the respectability of the press, should hesi tate to patronise the Harbinger, is truly surprising, when we take into considera tion the avidity with which publications of all classes and descriptions from other States are encouraged. We have no pa per amongst us exclusively devoted to the department which the Harbinger is intended to occupy. It will be principal ly devoted to the promotion and discus sion of literary subjects; and as the gen tlemen who will conduct it are conver sant with the choicest 6tores of ancient and modern learning, it cannot fail to be highly acceptable to the community. We think that a specimen number would be more effectual in procuring subscrip tions, than all the prospectuses that can be circulated. People generally like better to see what tluvy are incline to pur chase than to hear of it. The publish er might profit by trying the experi ment. Spectator. Distressing.

We shall see. The Statesman will vigorously simnnrt th t.;iie of the States, and at the same time the rights of the uiiui?, v."-3 cmuuuicu ui uic reuerai liovern ment by the Constitution.') as the hest nmi guarantee of the Union itself, and of the continuance oi mat protection to lite, liberty and property, which, it has afforded to the States for the last half century, in their career of greatness and prosperity altogether wiuiuut a parauei in tne History ot the world. As it will have come in only at the death of those rfistmrt- ing topics which lately agitated the country, it will v-iciim no snare oi me spoils, v eace to their ashes! But the Statesman's principal care shall be North Carolina our own loved our native land. The im provement of her institutions, the prosperity and hap piness of her people, the assertion of her just rights and the due and proper honor of the talents and vir tue of her sons shall be its principal concern. Aitnough she was the hrst of her sisters to snuff" tyranny in the breeze and dared to be free and ever since her Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence, and on every emergency, whether threatened by for eign or domestic dangers, she has met every crisis a became a patriotic and brave people; and even hesi tated not to give her own daughter, Tennessee, to add another star to the proud banner of the Republic and another arm to the national defence. And al though possessing a territory, soil, climate, popula tion and wealth, and with intelligence and moral worth, which entitle her to rank among the first of her sisters, yet strange it is, she is almost unnoted by them, and by the Federal Government also, except to make her pay taxes in peace and fight for them ia war; her citizens scarcely participating at all in the honors and emoluments of their own Government! But who says North Carolina sleeps? They will find her wide awake to her rights, and resolved to main tain them; they shall find the Statesman claiming for her her rateable portion of the public wealth and. for her sons, a fair participation in the public honors. of the country and refusing to take a denial. The Statesman will search for the hidden mischief and ferret it out of our institutions which has produ ced the present state of things. Something must be wrong, else, beside all the rest, why is it that with all our resources, the public expenditure exceed the in come about seventeen thousand dollars a year? The people should know these things and the certain bankruptcy which is staring their State Government in the face. If, as is probable, the radical fault is ia the present basis of representation, the Statesman will contend that it bhould be changed and made eaual and satisfactory to all: if in Olll J .f trial ntirtvt mc say diminish the number of Representatives and have only biennial meetings, and by a change of policy, im molate our unwise feuds on the altar of State good, and present to the Union and the world, one united and ajfectianate people. The Statesman, too, will ad vocate general Education, and a judicious system of Banking, commensurate with the wants of our peo ple; nor will it forget to urge the speedy approxima tion of the mountains with the sea board, by means of a Central Rail Road, via Raleigh to Beaufort; and al so the complete opening of those great arteries of the State, viz: the Cape Fear, the Pamlico and the Albe marle. Raleigh, too, shall have her full share of the benefit of our labors. In 1830 she had them, in our exertions to procure at the expense of the State, for the better security of the public property, a Fire En gine of capacity and power sufficient to throw a hea vy column of water on the dome of the late Capitol, with Hose and one hundred fire buckets; she had them by our vote and exertions to secure the continu ance of the Seat of Government where it now is; and she shall again have evidences of our good will. In conclusion, the Statesman will support ihe Administration of President Jackson, but at the same time contend for low tuxes and a cheap government; it will always be very good natu red to its friends, but plaguy cross and saucy to its enemies, for whom, a rod will always be kept in pickle: early and regular reports will be giv en of the proceedings of the State Legislature and of Congress; and the best speeches which may be made in both these bodies: interesting law cases in our Courts will be collected and spread before its readers; and in a word, its col umns will ever contain something useful and amusing to the Farmer, Merchant, Mechanic and the Scholar, and gratifying to the ChriMbu. There will be pretty things for the ladies, butter nuts for the gentlemen and even sugar-plumba for the children; so that all may be suited for their money. Like a good ship, the paper will be well found, and with plenty of sea room, that is, plenty of good subscribers, it will weather man' a storm, and safely enter the desired haven. Should this happen, look out for a rfierr'y making at every new year; when we invite all our punc tual subscribers and patrons to call on us antf ren ceive our best wishes with a hearty pump handle shake, and a glass of the very best Seuppernpng, or old Nash Peach, that our cellar affords. (QThe Editor respectfully requests the North Carolina editorial corps, to give this Pros pectus an insertion or two in their respective papers, and the favor shall be reciprocated as op portunity serves. And he also requests Edi tors, Postmasters and his friends generally, but especially those members with whom he has ser ved in the General Assembly, to interest them selves in their respective towns and counties in behalf of the Statesman, and procure and lbrYuru (hy the first day of August ijext,) as many coo4 subscribers as they can conveniently procure.
