The ob ject of his hiission is to call a meeting of the peopU in cvrry town, and if the majority wish a convention called be fore 1830, to take into consideration a change of government, he intends to yield to their wishes. “ Holivar has had a good deal of trou ble at Quito. lie has been compelled to shoot about one hundred men and' to hang a good many.

The National Journal of yesterday, says the Baltimore Patriot, contains a trfraty concluded last spring, between the Cnited States and Denmark., by Mr. Clay and the Chevalier Pedersen. This, says the Journal, is the first treaty which wc have ever had with that country, and it is founded on pt inciples of great li'jeralitv. The follovring sketch of its provisions, which we copy from the Journal, will no doubt be found interesting to our com mercial readers : “ I. The equalization of tonnage du ties, leaving to ^he navigaCion of the two couniries fair competirion 2. A miitnal liberty, of importation and exportation into and from each counti’v, in ilie .er.sris of eavh of whatever may bi- lawi’ulh inqjoiied or exported, not oidv i’roi.i ihe respective couniries,/yw/y/w; nr// forPi:^7i cnu/Uries vrhtLtGVCi'f with unimpor- uii exception-'. 0. The reduction of the dues payable by vessels of the United Slates 011 ihr |)asbuge of the, Sound and the Belts, lo the rate of those which u!'c payal)le by the nation niost favored by Denmai k. 4. A liberty to’\ essels of the United Stales (o trade between the Danish West India Island-;, and all foreign countries o- Iher ihan Denmark, in the same n>anner as Danish \css>*ls are allowed to trade. 5. The puvil(!geto American citizens to remove their j)ioperly from ihe Danisli West India Islands, subjcci to no oiti*r t.ixeis or charges than Danish suljjccis would be liabl** to pay on the removal of «.milar property from those islands to D»*nmark. The first conforms to the general ))oli- c\ of the United States, which commenc- cfl in 1815, and was subsequently exten^d- ed to several powers. The second is founded on » new prin ciple, adopted Dy ihe present adminiatia- lion, And which obtained al the last ses sion the unanimous concurrence cf the Senate, 'i’iie principle of the act cf 1815 limited the foreign vessels of each coun try to the importation of the productions of that country, and vice versa as to those of the United States. Thercw jM'inciplc extends llie pri\ilege of mutual irnpo’ ta- lion to the jjroductions of u/l foreign couiitries uhaLcver. It wilNprevent much vexation ; and if our vessels can sustain a compe'.iiion on ti'.is more rxliuuled scale, lii^-ie can be no doubt of its L.e:ielicial ten dency. 'i he exceptions are of the Datil;ih Last India possessions; to which the new ()i inciple was not extended, iiccan.se ofa restraint on the Danish (iovernment, frrowing o*il of the charter granted to ihe Danish 1/isi India Company, and (jf the Forroe Islanils, Iceland, u:id (irernland, the itihabilanls of which ;ire very poor, witl'.out subjects of much commerce, and arc' in a soi l of slate of jiupilage lo the Danish (iovernment, in coii.-,e!^uence cf their Imperfect civilization. By the reiluction of ilic Sound and I’eli dues, the commerce of the United States, i; is estimated, will save from tliirtv to forty thousand dollars per annun'. The treaty does not recognise expressly the right of Denmark to impose those dues.- pw.rds.^ol which 2,liavejlt operates in the nai iSiXcmpiion, and places our navigatfon upqa^Uie foot ing of that of Great li'itain^JJa'rance, and the other nations n\ust favored.

It is a pleasing circumstance attending this treaty, that it is mutually highly s»*. tisfaetory to both countries. It is under stood to have been unanimously approved by the senate ; and it has afrorded muelt gratification, vre learn, in Denmark. It goes into immediate operation. May it prove as advantageous to the two coun tries as it is liberal and equitable in its spirit and design.” MISSIONARIES TO RUHMATf. We regard the deliverance of the A- merican Baptist Missonaries to Burmah from danger, as an event which calls for cotifidencc in God, and renewed exertions in the cause for wr.ich they havi* suflered so much. It was evident, at the very be ginning of the war, that ])crils of no or dinary characier awaited them ; especial ly as in all Eastern countries Americans and Knglishmen are consir^e.rcd as one and the sauir p.eople. Ami so it was. 'I'he heaviest cluins and the most cruel treatment were their portion. Death itself often starrd them in the facc. When the Bi itish vvero about to com mence their attack u|)on U*iigoon,Messr?. Wade and Hough were thrown into prison loaded with chains, and suround- »*d witli a strong gu-id, who had order* from the Lmperor to massacre them the moment a gun should be fired upon the to\Tn. The knives were made sharp., and sand wis sirev»ed over the j)rison~ door to receive their blood. But it was so ordered by Pr.evidence, that the fir.‘t bail that was tiirown, passed directly over their heads with a tremendous noise, and so alarmed the guard tfiat ther thought only of their own escape. Thus the lives of themissionaries we represer;- ed.—In several other instances theit' ilangers were equally great, but He, in whose name they had gone forth, deliver ed tfiem out of them all. Tl'.e perils and sufTerings of the Rev, Dr. Judson and Dr. Price in another pare of Burmah, are described by the suflfer- ers themselves. They too were preserv ed, when it seemed as if death vias ine vitable. No\t invievirof these things, vrhat shall wc Say ? It not the hand cf Providence clearly apparent in preserving the live* of ail ihe missionaries, though in differ ent places, and in almost every variety (d‘ pe rilous ciri umstances ? Fro;n the remarks of Dr. Judson, a« well as from the natural consequences of ini reasrd Bniish influence in Burmalu > say noUuiig of the new territory ac- ([uired, there is n ason lo believe that Ihese temporary afllictions vfill redound to the furtherance of the Gosjiel. xV. J'. Observer, DESrnVCTIVE HURlllC.JNE. One oj tiie most tremendous, awfu? and.destructive llurricaiiei, of w’hich we; have any -record, passed through thft country about o5 milts above here, ir> ii'*arly an east diiTciion, on Friday even ing, the .jOtli inst. The current of vriiul was only about 100 yards in width. its course il swept evcrji thinf: from fhft ground J such was its resistless fury, that ihe sturdiest oaks, and ihe henvk’st rocks, were lorn from ihe earth, and blown off like feathers before an ordinary wind. I'his is extravagant languagej we know ; but it is no more so than the reality will hear us out in using. The forest where the hurricane passed, was levelltd with th(i mound f presenting the appearance ofa nifadow of luxuriant grass, wilh a single swath mowed through the centre of it. Wherever it passed a plantation, it total ly annihilated every thing in its coursc. The greatest suflerer we have heard of, is Samuel Jone.% Esq. (late sheriff of thin county.) The hurricane unfortunately passed directly over the most valuable impiiovenients on his plantatjon near the Vadkin river, about 21 miles above this, and it left desolation and death in iti, wake. IlTs large dwidling, the kitchens, stnoke houaes, negro houses, and a great number of other out-houscs, with all their eonlents, were enurrly swept from the ^nound vrhere they stood, and blown ofl’ inlo ihoiisands of atoms, and scattered over the country ior miles around. Two negroes were killed, and another not ex- J.ected to live. Fortunattly a number oi’ 111 gi oes, on hearing the comi:ig of th/* wind, ran into a large bam, which was but liiilc injured, the currcnt of wind |)assiiig east of it. Oi. the north-east: i^ide of tiie river, the hurricane in it* course passed directly over the farm oi* Mr. Jacob Hoover ; swept away all h.i-v !)uildings, and every thing in them ; and killed his daughter, aged about 11 years. \\ e have not learned ilie whole extent of the hurricane. To give some idea of ihe tremendou*. force of ihe wind, we can stale, on the best auihority, that large timbers, 12 in ches square, and 20 or JO feet long, weio carri.. d two and ihrtt miles : some of the wearing apparel blown from Mr. Jones’ house, was found lodged 6 or 7 miles trom il'.ci e ; kr?ives and forks were blow»i two and three miles, and some of them stuck last in tree.s at that distance, £cc. See. e could name fiundreds of other in- stane s, seemingly as improbable as thf; above, VihicU ure vouuhetl for iu a w^.y
