' ' ' J TUESDAY, MARCH 31, .1829. mBre Compaf-Ou Saturday week, meeUnof tliecitiliens was held At the Courthouses for ihe purpose of receiving Wch voiunteers as might present them selves as members of the Raleigh Fire Company for the ensuing jear, and provided the full .number did not offer .their services, for drafting the remainder. Twenty-five Volunteers were accepted, and the remaining fifteen were drafted- After which, the meeting appointed the following Thursday Ar the election of the Officers ; at which time the Company met, and elected Wm- F. Clark, Captain Thomas Cobbs Wm. .Thompson Joseph Chaires Anderson Nicholson Lieutenants. Allen Sims, Treasurer and Collector C D. Lehman, Secretary. We have the pleasure to state, that the Fire Engine is undergoing some neces sary repairs, and will soon be in perfect order. We trust, the officers of the Company will in future keep it so, so that, in case of accident by Fire, the Company may afford that aid to the City which a well-disciplined Fire-Company never fails to give in such cases Mr Adams and Mr. Hamilton. A cor- responuence appears in me nortnern pa i ii . pers between these gentlemen which, with the Appeal to the Public of the Federal ists of New-England, and some other .pa pers which have been necessarily defer red until we got through the Bank Debate. shall hereafter be 'm?ertediB the Register) in consequence of an imputation supposed to be cast upon the memory of Col. Hamil ton, M r. H's father, in a letter of Mr. Plumer of New-Hampshire, in which he states, that Col. H. had been applied to by the IJarjty which contemplated a dissolution of the Union, in the winter of 1803 '4, to take command of an armed force for effecting this. treasonable object. Deem ing it his duty to preserve the memory of his father from stain, Mr. H. addresses Mr A. on the subject, desiring to know upon what foundation the charge was made. Mr." A. in his reply, refers Mr. H. to Mr. Plumer himself for any explanation of the statement contained in his letter ; but that the information which he had re ceived in the spring of 1804, at Wash ington was entirely distinct and indepen dent from that given by Mr. Plumer, which was, not that his father liad consented to be placed at the head of the project, or to take part in it, but that an attempt had been made to engage him in it, and that the plan had been broken upby I119 father's decease. Mr. A. believed, that his fa ther had consented to attend a meeting at Boston 5 but he believed also, that it was his purpose to prevail upon the party at that meeting to abandon their treason able project. But that: the project was continued or resumed, notwithstanding his father's decease, until the Hartford Convention in 1814. Mr. A. had further reason for believing rihat Col. Hamilton, disapproved this project, because it had originated from dissatisfaction at the an nexation of Louisiana to the Union, a mea sure which he had understood was ap proved by him. We take this opportunity to give an ex tract from a speech of De Witt Clinton, delivered in the Senate of New-York, on e 31 st of January, 1809, which sustains the opinions of Mr- Adams in regard to the project, and agrees wjth him in ac quitting Gen. Hamilton from all partici pation in it. Mr- Clinton says It is, perhaps, known to but few, that the project-of -a dismemberment of this country is r.ot a novel plan, growing out of the recent measures of Government, as has been pretend ed. It has been cherished by a number of indi viduals for a series of years, and a few months before the death of a distinguished citizen, whos.. decease so deeply excited the public sensibility, k was proposed to him to enlist his great talents in the promotion of this nefarious,i fccheme, and to his honor be it spoken, it was rejected by him with abhorrence and disdain." The last Richmond Enquirer states, that a deputation from a meeting of the citi zens of Orange county, having waited up on Mr Madison, to request he would serve in the Convention, he rnlipd. - - t ' that he would, if it teas the wish of the district.

We learn from the Fredericktown Exam iner, that Mr. Clay, on his journey home wards, reached that City on Monday af ternoon, "escorted by a large number of his fellow -citizens, who notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather, went to the Anne Arundel county line to hail his arrival in Frederick county, and to wel come him among them." When we re collect what soaking rain poured down the whole of that day, the remark imputed to Mr. Clay, that " their attentions in such weather proved that they were not sun shine friends," seems to have been parti cularly appropriate to the occasion.

The Healing Art- On the 21st instant, at a Medic d Commencement, held in the Saloon of the Masonic Ha!!, Philadelphia, the Degree of Doctor of Medicine was conferred upon one hundred and seven gentlemen, who had passed their examina ations by the Medical Faculty.

Harrison, who h;is just arrived at the place of his destination, and is now recalled merely for the purpose. of placing a Jackson man in the station he occupies, gives us a little inMght into iha boasted, system of retrenchment and economy for which the present Administration aregoins to make themselves so conspicuous. The change will be of no use to the country : but no matter; it will not cost us quite eigh teen thousand dollars, as General Harrison will receive only that sum ; viz. 89000 out fit, and S9000 salary far one year, which is partly expired ; the expense of the ex pired portion of course, being deducted from 818,000 to shew the actual increase of expanse incurred by this appointment. Geo. Harrison received his appointment a bout six months since j the cost ofthe mU jiiofi to Cvlombia;may therefore be set down at 836.000 for eighteen months from that period. Thus we go.

FRIDAY, APRIL s,1829. A friend in Baltimore, writing tons, incidentally (says the Editor ofthe Ma ryland Republican) mentioning the remo val of the old veteran Col. Lowry, from office, says : Tne K"nod old Republican Colonel Lowrv i? superceded in office. Although by birth a fo reigner, he is identified with the n tion those of his bio d have moistened the American soil in its defence. His son, one ofthe brightest or naments of the Monumental City" his hiirhly gifted and much lamented son fell in repelling from its precincts, in the late w ar, the more than savage foe. The hoary and aged father might, without injury to any, have been spared in office a few years longer. But a little while and those who know him now will know Vim no more for ever ! It is hard that be should be brought down to the grave in sorrow." In all the wild extravagancies of party and popular feelings which have from time to time agitated this country, there were still some barriers circumscribed by proud & independent feelings, as well as by feel ings hallowed to humahity itself, that were superior to party rage and that sanctified the precincts of those thies. If Col. Lowry venerable old wor was a foreigner bv birth, he was the warm-hearted country man, of thousands of Irishmen, who ren dered no small service to the favorite can didate of that class of our eitizens in the recent Presidential election. Long has ne Deen near and dear to the Irishmen of Baltimore. I remember well, how effec tually he assisted to rally the feelings of the Irishmen of Baltimore in the me mora ble years of 1794 and 5, when he com manded the 27th Regiment, then fully a nvai iu me oin ivegiment itseit. Utten and often, when public spirit was essen tial, has Col. Lowry been foremost to de vote his all at its shrine. Of his son. Low ry Donaldson, whose name stands sculp- turn at the topet the Battle Monument, the most distinguished victim that fell in de fence of Baltimore a man of . highly ac complished manners, and of fairest prom isea Representative of the People of Baltimore who was, before he fell, the prop and stay of his aged father have no warmer or def per recollections been left in his behalf, thah that his infirm and worn down parent, in his last days, should be turned out of employment, poor and pennyless, to starve in the very commu nity his life has been devoted to, and his son was sacrificed for ?!

From Captain Paine, of the Revenue Cutter Crawford, we learn that that vessel rwas unfortunately capsizedj on the 16th inst, by a sudden hurricane, which occurred when off the High Point of Cumberland Island. The Cutter at the time was un der easy sail, but such was the force ofthe wind, that she immediately capsized and suiiK aim uie apiain, umcers and part ofthe crew, were with imminent hazard, Two of the crew. saved by named Peter Anderson and Henrv Baxter. and a colored man, belonging to Captain Paine, went down with the vessel.

We have Vera Cruz intelli gence to the 10th ult- by the New-Orleans papers, from which we learn that the tu mults in Mexico have subsided in a great degree. Guerrero has been proclaimed President of the Republic by the Supreme Congress, and this decision seems to be submitted to by the people with alacrity. One ofthe first acts of the new adminis tration was the solemn acknowledgment of the services rendered to the Republic by Commodore Porter, who. with his cha racteristic promptitude and energy, had greatly contributed to the restoration of good order in the city of Vera Cruz. ; Georgian. Wholesome advice to young men. Begin life with the least show and the least expense possible ; you may at pleasure in crease both, but you cannot easily diminish them. Do not think your estite'your. own while any man can call upon you for money and you cannot pay j therefore begin with timorous parsimony. . Let it be your first care to be in no man's debt. Resolve not to be poor, whatever you have, spend less. Poverty is a great enemy to human happi ness, it certainly destroys liberty, and it makes some virtues impracticable, and, o thers extremely difficult, per annum half in advarice. - five cents for every succeeding publication.

Such are the triumphs;, of steam power ! r .' The Tariff -We have been favoured by a merchant of tfy's place with the fol lowing extract of a letterfrom an eminent house in Philadelphia, which describes the effects the Tariff has had on the pried of Woollen goods : Lyn Vir, In our last Circular, we stated that Woollen goods had generally risen in val ue. This advance was maintained for a short time only. Broad Cloths were very soon reduced to rates considerably bolow their average value for several years pre ceding. And Flahnels, which" sold high in the early part of the Autumn, soon fell below former rates. We now quote both these articles at lower prices than they have been sold for several years.' The passage of the tariff law, having caused a great activity in the Woollen Manufacture, it is obvious that the increas ed supply of goods from the manufactories of our own country, has mainly tended to reduce the prices,; and will, without donbt, operate in future to keep them low. It is now well ascertained, that we shall manu facture at home thepresent year, as many flannels as will be required for the con sumption ofthe country, which we do not doubt will be sold at lower rates than they have been before. . This also appears to be likely to be the base with middle and low priced Broad Cloths. Sattinetts are now manufactured in aj style of great perfec tion, and are still,! we believe, deservedly in great ftvor, in all parts of our country. Ve know of no woollen fabric which com bines so many valuable properties, as a neat and profitable article of dress. The French king's Speech. The last arrival from Europe, brings this docu ment, from whichj from its importance, we make the following extract : ' My relations withj Foreign Powers continue to be friendly. The1 assurances I receive from my allies offer die a pledge, that notwithstanding the events which have desolated the East, peace will not be disturbed in the rest of Europe. To hasten the pacification of Greece, I have, in concert with England and Russia, sent to the Morea a division of my troops. At the sight of some thousand Frenchmen, determined to ac. complish their noble task, that celebrated coun try; too long- ravaged has been restored to peace and security. There, as at Navarino, the union ofthe flags has proved to the worjd the respect ofthe three Crowns fir the faith of treaties, and my soldiers take pleasure in recounting the sin cere support which they have found in the En glish navy. A formal declaration, notified to the Porte, has placed the Morea and the neighbouring is lands under the" protection of the three Powers. This solemn act will suffice to render a protrac ted occupation unnecessary. I continue to assist the Greeks, to rebuild their miss, and my ships bring back to them those Christinn slave's whom the pious generosity of France has restor ed to their country and to liberty. " So many cures will not prove vain, I have reason to believe that the Porte, more enlighten ed, will cease to oppose the treaty ofthe 6th of July, and it may be hoped that tim first arrange ment will not be lost for the re-establishment of peace in the East. " The situation of Spain hns allowed me to re call the troops which 1 had left at the disposal turned to their country after having received from the inhabitants of all the countries through which they have passed testimonies of esteem and regret due to their excellent discipline. Considerable sums have been advanced to the ui vviiuiunu Aiajesiy.. My soioiers nave re oHimii guveriimciu. ,y convention nas just been signed to regulate there-payment of them.

" Engage ments contracted by an ancient French colony had ceased to be executed. After bar ing convinced myself that this inexecution was the result of inability, 1 have consented to open with a more efficacious negotiation for the inter ests or tne colonies and of commerce. Many of my subjects have suffered y the$ measure mnen oy tne Emperor of Brazil in his war with the republic of Buenos Ayres. Some of their vessels have been captured. The convention which 1 have just ratified, while it confirms, with respect to the right of blockade, a conservatory principle always maintained by France, insures to them the restitution of their property, and an indemnity proportioned to their loss. vjn inis occasion, as on all others, I owe praises to the French marine, which showit-lf worthy of its noble mission. " The successive shocks which nave agitated some of the new states of South America, have left the politics situation of those states uncer tain, and rendered it difficult to form regular re lations with them. The moment is, doubtless, not far distant when I shall be able to give to those relations a stability advantageous f to my subjects ; meantime I hare appointed consuls to watch over their interests. 4 Such, gentlemen, is the bappy result of our relations with foreign powers. Whatever may be the events that the future reserves for us, I shall certainly never forget that the glory of France is a sacred deDosit. and that th h of being the guardian of it is the fairest prero-i gative of my crown." v 'iff ProLibmalrhr ihe Shark, frdAk'A& rica, despatches hare been received bj the American Colonization SocietyV from Dr. Randall, the resident Agent, whicli confirm the news, of the disaster, of whict, a rumour was received a lew oay& ap oy the way of England- Sometime pbor t the arrival of Dr. Uandall tiie. temprkry AgCnt, Mr. Lot Careys waniaking re parations to asser tlicf aOifiiorit' Miti' Colons, hv PTn!liHnr frnm if a rrff ilin . people of a French slave vessel, who had. landed a carsro on the coast;f far; thennrv pose of opening a trade for s!ave.
