MOXUMKXT. , THE Board ol Managers of the Wash ington National Monumental Society invite DESIGNS for this structure, inten ded as a memorial of a NATION'S GRATITUDE. It would be to fetter genius, Jo prescribe any limits to tbe exercise of its powers, which should, however, in this case, har moniously blend durability, simplicity and grandeur. Although it is impracticable at present to estimate the extent of the con tiibutions that may be made, the Designs may be predicated on an expenditure of not less than one million of dollars. The Board of Managers will not offend American genius so much as to offer, in this instance, a pecuniary rewaid. The artist, whose Design shall be adopted, will feel amply remunerated; and all the De s gns w ill be bound and carefully preserved to which end, it is requested that they be sketched, as near as may be, on paper of a uniform size, of the dimensions of sixteen by twenty-two inches.

We have been favored wiih the perusal of a let ter dated Fort Gilliland, Sept. 18, containing the substance of a re port to the Commander in chipf of a battle with the Indians, fought j near :evnansvil,e on the 18th in stant. On Saturday evening, the 17th, the Indians came within a mile of that fort and captured a cart, and fired on three whites and two ne groes. As it was too late and rainy to make a successful attack that night, spies were sent to dis cover the position of the Indians. They were posted in the neigh- oornood ot an Felasco ham-1 mock. Sunday morning Col. ! Warren marched out to give bat lle with 100 mounted men, being detachments from Capts. Walker's, : U ard's and Garrison's companies, j with 25 gentlemen under CaptJ Beckham, who their lime of sr r-1 vice having expired, volunteered : for this special strvire, aud Capt.j U. U. 1 ompkms, 1st Regiment U. j S. Artillery, with a 24 pounder howitzer and 25 of his men. The advance was in three columns the right under Col. Warrra, the : left under Lieut. Col. Milk d ! the centre under Capt. T .mpki.-M. J When within ihree-lnuriii .f a! mile of the hammock, tin v met' the Indians and the battle com- menced along the right wing and centre. t The Indians attempted to turuj the left fl uik, but were charged j with spirit by that wing and dt iv- j en into a thick oak scrub, ibuice' into the border of the hammock J where the artillery played on them with considerable eflect. j The Indians made desperate at tempts to maintain their position. They charged twice on the Artiik ry. They were beaten off at all ! points, and driven a mile and a half into a dense hammock where1 they could not be pursued with i : advantage. The action lasted . one hour and a halfone hour of which time the fire was heavy on the w hole line. Their force w as estimated at 300 men. Indians were seen to fall before the fire of the artillery, particular ly vn the left. Several persons report that they saw a mounted Indian (from his appearance giv-1 ing orders and a chief,) fall be-j lure the hre ot the Artillery. Ad jutant Gilliland reports that he saw a large fellow mounted in front of the right, and from his recollection of the person, thinks he was Jumper. Adjutant G. or dered a platoon to fire at him, and several assert that he fell. No Indians were found dead but from the traces of blood many must have been killed &. wounded Col. W arren, Lt. Col. Mills, Capt. D. D. Tompkins, Adjt. Gilliland, Capts. Beckham, Walk er, Ward, Lieuts. Breeton and Hindley, distinguiUied themselves by their bravery and good con duct in the action, also Doctors Pelot and Terbelot, and privrte Weyman stationed at the howit zer, who was wounded at the first fire, but refused to quit his post till compelled by loss of blood. List of wounded Jeremiah Burnet, mortally; Mathew Hind ley, Jesse Long, Samuel Russell, and Weyman, not dangerously. From the New York Jour, of Com. Price of Bread stuffs. We would not needlessly interrupt the enjoyments of those who look for ward lo the next winter as a lime of general starvation. But lest their dreams should be too sud denly broken, we must call their attention to the facts contained in the last news from Europe, re- specting the price of bread stuffs there. We happen to know of an operation at Liverpool, by which filly thousand bushels of wheat are to be immediately forwarded to this country, and by the prices which are published, there is little doubt that much larger supplies will be soon forthcoming; fur tl;e long continuance of high prices, the successful issue of the recent importations, and the fact, well ascertained, that our domestic supplies are inadequate to our wants, will give new confidence in future operations. Let us see at what prices we ran be supplied In Paris the price of bread is a bont two cents, and in London three cents per lb. We found a shilling loaf in. New York yester day to weigh 2 lbs 3 oz whit h is six cents per lb. The price of wheat in Paris is 1 12 cent a bush el, and Ihe price of flour 5 a bar rel. In London flour is 8 a bar rel. In the ports ol the Mediter ranean and of the Baltic, bread stuffs are much cheaper than in eilher London or Paris. The pi ice of good wheat at Naples i 2s 10J sterling a bushel, or 67 cents. From an one of these j places freight might be obtained at 33.I IUS per barrel on fl .ur, :md i2h tents per bushel on w Itvjm, or about half the rate char jetl oi transportation of the same r Its from Rh hester, and oue fourth of what i charged from O loo Fifty thousand bushels of torn be lately been received hee fr- ni Ohio by one house, at a fteiiiht of 49 t ems. The duly on flour is one dollar a bane!, and on wheat 25 cents a bushel. Wheat, therefore, can be import ed from Naples and laid down in Nev York at 125 to 135 cents a bushel, all charges paid, and Jrrm a hundred other places at the same or a Ies,s price. Corn and re are not burdened with a duly, and may be imported to great ad antage. The countries of Eu rope and Asia afford stores of bread st. ffs almost inexhaustible, so that the supplies for this coun try, if lhe should run to the high est possible quantity, could only a fled prices in a slight degree. Free trade will supply all oui wants, and the cost, with a liberal mercantile profit, will not carry, prrces above loO cents for wheal, 100 cents lor rye and Indian corn, 50 cents for oats per bushel, ami $7 50 for fl our per barrel. So let ihe desponding cheer up, for no one who is industrious and fru gal need starve in 1836 or 1837. Great Xational Work. The U. S. Telegraph states that the Cincinnati and Charleston Rail Road, which is to be commenced the ensuing spring, will cost nine teen millions of dollars. Surgtry in the West. We are pleased to see that the operation of Lithotritie (or breaking up the stone in the bladder without cut ling instruments,) has been suc cessfully performed at Cincinnati, Ohio, by Professor Smith, of the Medical College. The gentle man, (says the Whig,) experien ced less suffering from the opera lion than he had from ihe pre sence of the stone, and after pass ing a quantity of the broken parti cles, he walked home, nearly a mile, with his accustomed alacrity. It is proper to state that the suc cess of this operation first propo sed by Civiale, depends more on manipulatory address and cau tious movement of the instru ments, than on any knowledge of surgical auatomy.

Late and important news from Europe the causes of the Svanish Revolution explained murder of uenerai kfiusada, and dissolution of the French Ministry. English papers to the 29th August have beeu received at New York. They furnish highly interesting news from Spain and France. Liverpool, dug. 19. The Queen of Spain must be able, by this time, from painful experience, to bear her personal testimony to the truth of the saying, "uneasy sets the head that wears a crown J' Assailed on the one hand hv th Carlists, who artf endeavoring to piace uun varios on the throne, and on the other hand by the Constitutionalists, who aim at the re-establishment of liberlv, she has, at last, been compelled to submit to the Constitutionalists, and to proclaim, at their bidding, the Constitution of 1S12, which the French army, under the com mand of the Duke of Angouleme, put down, at the point of the bav onet, in the year 1 822. The sim dtaneous movement throughout the chief cities of the kingdom in favor of that Constitution, left the Queen no other alternative but ei ther to slop the movement by force of arms, or, failing to stop it, to yield to it with the' best possible grace. She adopted, in the first instance the alternative of force, and failed. The popular move ment was too formidable to be checked, much less entirely stop ped. The inhabitants of the ca pital caught ihe patriotic spirit which had shown itself so decided-' ly and so unequivocally in the provinces. A sudden and unex pected movement of the troops, on ihe night of the 13th, comple ted the revolution. The re-estab-lishment of the Constitution of 1815 was extorted from her Ma jesty by ihe soldiery, who, enter ing the palace of ildtfonso, com pelled iter lo proclaim ihe import ant fact to the nation. On the 16lh, in the afternoon the Constitution of 1812 was sol emnly proclaimed, and the decrees extorted from xl.e Queen publish ed; the bells were rung, the con stitutional stone was erected on the Plaza Mayor, and at night il luminations took place. On tfie same evening the Cap tain of the National Guard Caval ry, Dun R. Garcia Carrasco, was. off with sixty men to bring the Queen to Madrid, which capital, she entered the next day. To gratif) the Liberals, one of the first measures imposed upon the new Ministry was that of ordering; the apprehension of lsturiiz and his colleagues, with a view to iheir being brought to "Justice," the frxasperatiou against them having; been increased by the arrival on the evening vf the 16lh of a col umn of the Northern army, which had been ordered to come up by forced marches. It seems that Madrid is in a horrible state; political opponents to the present parly who have got uppermost, are forced to fly or carefully guard again.-.! the dag-, ger of the hired assassin. Quesa da had been barbarously. murder ed by some of the National Guard h the uniform of the Urban mili tia. Isturitz and his colleagues would have shared the same fate, had they not beeu provided with safe reitreats.. Dissolution oj the French Min istry. A second edition of the Journal de Paris, published at a late hour on Thursday evening, contains the following vfikial communication: "This day, at three o'clock, M M. Thiers, M aison. Duyerre, Pas sy, Sauzot, and Pelet (de la Lo zere) placed their resignation in the hands of the King." This important event was the result of a difference of opinion between the king and M.Thiers, at a Cabinet council held on Thursday morning at Neuilly, on the absorbing subject of French intervention in Spain. The Pre sident of the Council, moved by the late occurrences at Madrid, persisted in urging the necessity of sending a French force into the Peninsula, ostensibly to oppose the Carllsts, but in reality to ena ble the Queen lo cast off what he regards as ihe constitutional yoke. The King, more prudent than his minister, contended that the proc lamation of the Constitution of Cadiz in the capital had entirely changed the aspect of affairs in the Peninsula; that to put dour, the Constitution by force would be tantamount to dethroning the Queen; that such a step would not be sanctioned by England; and finally, that having declined to in terfere against the Car lists, any demonstration of force against the Constitutionalists would not fail to endanger the internal tranquili ty of France, h ii if ti';. h'ii
