Mr. Noah of New-Yofk, made 'application to "the Legislature Jat their session of 1819 for the purchase of the Grand : Island, set tling forth injhfertnemorial that his ob ject was to estahlisK a Jewish settle ment or community on that spot. The . selection was considered every way eli gible," and at once drew public atten tion rto that fine portion of I land, but the commissioners' under the Ghent Treaty, not having included their sur- eys,it was doubtful whether in running the line Grand Island would State or to Upper Canada, havinff-been decided bv the fan to tnc The point line run- ning through the channel on ; the Cana da bide't the state authorised' it to be sold and the' pfoceeds to be appropriat ed to the Canal fund. The purchasers on Friday were few, but were among the : most spirited and enterpnsTng!ipf tK$tateahc! -.the Isl and, together with f the small isl and s which; were valued: at about 850,000; and by many supfwsed to be valued too hih, brought seventy-six thousand dol lars Two scitcsy and the most r eligi ble, sc&es i for cities oh the island, were purchased for Mr. Noah, one at the point facing Lake Erie, and containing upwards of 1000 acres, and the other : containing k abou t 1 000f acres, d i rectly opposite the mouth of the Grand Canal, :togeer;- with.Tohnewanta, Beaver and Frog islaisthejwhole ramoiint of his purchase was about g20, 000 . Tonne wanta Island containing 69 acres, and valued at 312 dollars sold for 1400. f 1 r This may be considered as the last valuable possession owned by; the state. Lands are every where locating, parti-' cularly pnthebofders of the canal. WhetherMr. Noah niayj succeed in his laudable designs in persuading his nation to emigrate .to America, cannot at this time be foretold; He has how ever, . pursued the, object with great steadiness of purpose, which bears eve ry appearance Jof confidence. It has been a matter of some. surprise, why so few of the Jewish people have directed their attention towards this favoured but every facility of Trade, Commerce, Manufactures, and Agriculture are at their command. - It must arise from their havinjj: no knowledge of these ad-" vantages, and the presumption is, that when they are spread Delore jtnem in a manner warranted by facts, a disposi tion to see tliis chosen land will at least prevail.1 ;' 'r-?: ;.

We, see daily the. blessings and advantages of free and liberal institutions, and sepa rating church and state in our govern mentEmigrants of every religious de nomination who crowd to our shores, are well-received equally protected, and enjoy personal rights without limi tation. The good effects of such insti tutions are to be found in tlie increase of, population, from three millions to eleven millions of enterprising people. itirst settlement of Philadelphia. It was a remark of. one of the wisest and best men, whom the world has seen, that "there exists in the economy r and course, of nature an ihdissoluble union between virtue and happiness, between duty and advantage, between the genuine maxims of an honest and magnanimous policy, and the solid re wards of public prosperity & felicity." By tl e. wri ter of a bri ef history of Phil -adeiphia,; this remark of : Washington is quqtedi as bqing fully illustrated in the. rise and growth of that city. And indeed, there are manr associations connected with the origin of Phila delphia, its progress and history, equal ly grateful to the philanthropist and the patriotic citizen of the U; States. Its foundation was laid in peace and concord. Our ancestors in general, however gently we may touch their m 6 ti'ves and temper, merit little for their wisdom and discretion, in their con duct with the Indians. - They were too prone to look on the wild man as an inferior being, and to set themselves u p aslords over his rights and proper ty, without remembering that they were intruders oh his soil, or condescending to meet him even in the land of his fa thers on equal and amicable terms. To the reproach of j manof our proge nitors, whose . virtues in other! respects speak volumes in their pVaise, the sword was too often made by them the charter of their rights, and the instru ment': of gaining ascenUahcy over the natives.-.-;? 7 4-- '..1.7-V' j But the memorable interview of Wm. Penn with the Indians, on the bank'of tjic 'Delaware; : exhibited a dirTerent scene ; the "even scales of Justice, and the mild persuasion, of christian love, were the powerful engines with which he swayed " the barbarian mind, " and taught the savage to' confide in the sin cerity 'of the white man ; and the first page in tne!annals of Phiiadelphia is one of th brightest in the, history of mankind, recording an event not more to the credit of the wise and benevo lent legislator through whose agency it happened, than honorable to humani ty itself.; Jt was here,, also, that -relii gious toleration was; made the basis of a vernmeritvatjts heginnihgvandre ligious freedom" established v aV a, time when the' yoke of bigbtry';andtfpers tion was bowing to the , dust, the hecks of al most all the inhabitants of civiliz ed Europe. In latter times, it was here that the first Congress of the assembled; andlthe "articles bf confede ration : andT union- were agreed upon , and it was .here that ;.

That such a company must act upon highly honorable principles is very cer tain ; because if they did, they would get all the good custom, and of course make money j and if they did not, ; they would only get bad customers, and of course Ipse money. 7 1 ; ; It may be objected that this is a new project. Bat will not this objection fall to the ground, when we consider! that the Mariner's Compass, the Art of Printing, and every other great ! y bene ficial invention was new in its lay ? . Even if this company produced no benefit beyond curing the necessity of mutual endorsements, would it not pre vent the ruin of thousands and contri bute much to their daily comfort, - and be counted among the greatest blessings ever conferred on mankind ? . P. P. F. DEGRAND. From the Nexvport Republican. In speaking of the benefits of rcli- io us freedom, we must indulge a little Rhode Island pride in reminding our readers that this bright light, which now shines- with such an unfading lustre, and makes this mighty Republic a bea con to all the nations of the Earth, was first kindled on our own shores. One of the earliest resolutions of the vene rable founders of this State, March 19, 1641, declares" that none shall be ac counted a delinquent for doctrine and when the King's Commissioners on the restoration of Charles II. sub mitted sundry, propositions to the As sembly in May, J 665, they came to the following resolutions . ' An4 further as, to the third proposall wherein his most Royall Majestyefs gracious tenderness to different opinions in religious matters is declared - s ""j , . ' This Assembly, doe with all gladness of heart and humbleness of mind, acknowledge the great goodness of .God and favor of his Majestye in that respect, declaring,; that as it hath been, a principall held forth'' and maintained in tliis Collony from the very be ginning thereof, so it is much on their, Jhcarts to preserve the same liberty to all persons "with in this. Collony forever as to' the -worship of Go4 therein taking care for the preservation of civil government, tb the dbeing' of justice,' and preserveing each other proprieties from wrong and violence of others.'' j t . .. .What a gratifying contrast do senti- ments HKetnese aiioru to tne j re debate in ther British Parliament i recent Allegorical.

This operation was repeated every day and sometimes as often as. twenty times a day. The consequence was that more than half the traveller's time was con sumed in chasing these! dogs and, pup pies. 7 At last he was overtaken by a neighbor,' who was going the same road, but who had set out Ja long'time! after him.--The ; latter . travel 1 er was very much surprised to find the other 'no fur? ther on his journey; and on hearing the reasoni " " Al as, ' said he,' is it possible 'y'61 have j lost yburj time ! and; Tastetl your strength m this idle occupation r These same animals have beset me all along'-the' road j but I hare saved-in y time and labor in taking no notice of i t . i.; . . . .. t . .1 !

This species of mortals are more or less an annoyance to domestic happiness in most parts of the world. They often ga on with impunity from one tatling. story to ano ther, .until scandal and defamation constitute a principal part, of their enjoyment.: Instances of the" baneful effects of this kind of gossiping, is at every one's door, and very few escape the malicious sarcasms of the tattler.;. Unfor tunately we have no statute in our laws to pun ish them but such as are become obsolete. j In former times, indeed,- in England, the ducking stf)l" was "held in ten-ore m over such gross offenders ; but nowthe venom of the human tongue is left to the cognitance Ot the civil law, which seldom reaches, the real offender. Hence a poor inoffensive manis often punishedjfor the indiscretions of the tongue of his dearly beloved helpmate. , r cjatharine gf Russia, though her private life afforded an ample field for the exercise of this pas-ion, yet she was not proof against its ef fect, however true the tattle might have been. She perhaps concluded that it was no busi ness of the tattlers to interfere, and sherde termined to punish their officiousness. 1 f 1 A young Russian lady of the first rank? in Petersburg, married the Count M. who lid formerly been a favorite of the Empress. ,lt seems that her curiosity had ;v wormed many secretsTrbm her .husband respecting his in timacy at Court, and that she. tat ded them to her female' friends, who sent them as great secrets through the city of Moscow where she resided, . r 7 ! ' ' - Not long after, as the lady and her husband were consigning themselves to sleep,they were alarmed by a knocking at their chainber dofcr,' which1 the husband Unbolted," when a stqitt police officer entered with a large rod in one hand, and the, imperial order irt the other. The Count was ordered to go on the further side of the bed, and to make no disturbance as in jthe next room several brethren of this summary minister of justice were in waiting. The lady was then ordered to descend from the bed, just as, she' was, and to lay herself upon the floor, the officer then tied her hartds and feet and gave her a severe whipping. When he had finished this discipline, he loos ed her and raised her up and said this is the punishment the Empress inflicts upon tattler ; and fprjthe next offence you go to Siberia.1 The story soon buzzed about, and wherever the tattle of the young lady had gone, it oc casioned as titter.
