sumed the offensive with v igor, dispersed the insurgent congress, andcaptured and beheaded Morales, their principal slay. Since his death, no mail appears to have been sound able to unite the confidence) Ms countrymen with ability to command. The lower classes, or mixed race, seeing no prospect ijof succe'eding, got tired of the war, and became willing to agrecto any rule, gto any masters, for the sake of peace, .ware of this disposition pre- vailing among their followers,' those who sound themselves, in command of differ- ent corps'or posts, became eager to make their peace with the king, and obtain terms for themselves by outsti ipping each other in the race of submission." Ac- cordingly, for the last six months, the Spaniards have had more reason, from these" causes, to expect a successful issue to their attempts of quelling the rebellion in every province this side of the Isthmus of Darien, than otherwise the combined power of Ferdinand and his allies could have given thenrv The following is a short summary of some of the late occurrences in that quar- ter: On the I Sth of November last, the in- surgent thief Teram, with 900 men, was attacked in the town of Tehuacun, at 3 r. m. oy uuu royausts. i cram wai forced to retire, "with his men, to two churches in the town, where, aster some resistance,,' hcagreed to capitulate with his forces, and surrender a neighboring iort to the royalists. About the same timc.Gen. Ryan, who succeeded Morales in the command of the insurgents, gave himself up with about 400 lollowers, and obtained the king s pardon. At the latest accounts he mha bited the capital. bout the lOthof December, General Ossono, another rebel leader, obtained the king s pardon, by submitting with 6 or 700 men. ii- Gen. Victoria was the only insurgent duel who had not surrendered. On the Sth of June lie occupied an ancient sort called Palmia, about 30 miles south west of Vera Cl'ife, which he defended with 450 men against .auou oti tne royalists, who had betfffthen besieging it some weeks. .v ' Hertera, who was in this" city some lii.i" since. as.an ardent for theindfineml- - cnts, has eithr delivered Himself up or peon taken. It was reported at VcraCruz in June; that Montecalla, a man of'great wealth and influence in his vicinity, had raised the standard of revolt, in company with n uigunmy ui luc cumuli uatucu .ricriu, at a place called Aunequat; 'Some dis- tance to the northwest of Mexico. In the different provinces there were numerous11 small predatory parties; but nothing that had the shape of an army. It is thought that the whole Spanish Tegular force in Mexico, comprising the late reinforcements, does not exceed ten thousand men. Marty of the towns and pro inccg, however, in their eagerness to wipe off all suspicion of disloyalty, were using every exertion to exterminate the rebels. Win. D. Robertson, a colonel In the Mexican service, was rfprisoner at Vera Cruz, a'iU it was expected would be sent to Old bpjin. The Spaniards at Vera Cruz, either Were or pretended to be igncjant of the op rations of Mina. On the 9th of June a ii i";ate sailed from the- - inouth of the river Santander; for which destination another frigate and a brig had sailed some time before. These vessels will endeavor to tut off all communication with Soto la Marina by sea, whiie an army goes a- - gainst it by land. We are told by an intelligent person, a man of much observation, who had a good deal of conversation at Vera Cruz wit.i Spaniards vin authority and hisrh rink, that they were all unanimously of opinion, ana expressed lfwithout hesita- tion, that England and Spain had lately, concluded an alliance for the safety and even aggrandizement of their respective dominions in America. They boasted tlrit tne Court of St. James had agreed to -- ssist when required, the Court of Ma- drid in subduing the revolted colonies. Tney ai'ded that an opportunity would eagerly be sought aster by both powers to lam their united arms against the U-n.- t( d States ; and thus blot out the only example of a successful rebellion. This is evidently the mere opinion of Ferdi- nand's minions, but none can doubt but tiat they and their master entertain any other than amicable sentiments towards ti,is country.

For according to my superficial view' of political economy in iiymizcu "society, next to agriculture whicn is the first and most splendid, ma nufactures are the second, and navigation the third. With agriculture, manufac tures and navigation, all the commerce which can be necessary or useful to the happiness of a nation will be secured. -- Accept my thanks for the civility with which you have communicated the vote of the society to their and your friend, JOHN ADAMS.

Mr. Lynch. montpelier, june 27, 1817. Sir I have received your letter of the 18th instant, informing me tffat the A- - ,.;,-- c r .i " iin.in.aiiuui.iciv iui uiu cneuuraireuieni of Domestic Manufactures, have been pleased to elect me one of its members. Although I approve the policy of leaving to the sagacity ot individuals, and to the impulse of private interest, the application ot industry and capital, I "am equally persuaded that in this, as in oth- er cases, there are exceptions to the ge neral rule, which do not impair the prin ciple dl it. Among these exceptions is the policy ot encouraging: domestic ma nufactures, within certain limits, and in relerence to certain articles. Without entering into a detailed view of the subject, it may be remarked, that every prudent nation will wisn to be in dependent of .other nations, for the ne cessary articles of food, of raiment, and of defence ; and particular considerations, applicable to the United States, seenvto strengthen the motives to this indepcnd-- l ence. Besides the articles fallintr under thei above description, there may be others, tor manufacturing which natural advan- tages exist, which require temporary in- terpositions for bringing them into regu lar aim successiui aoiJiiy. Where the funtf ' "of industry is ac- quired from abroad, and not withdrawn nor withheld from other domestic cmJ ployments, the case speaks for itself. I will only add, that among the articles of consumption and usCj, the preference in many cases i3 decided merely by fash- ion or habit. As far as equality, and still more, where a real supeiiority is sound inline articles manufactured at home, all must be sensible, that it is politicand pa- triotic to encourage a preference of them, as affording a more certain source of sup- ply for every class, ana1 a more certain market for the surplus products of the agricultural class. With these sentiments, I beg you to make my' acknowledgements for the mark of distinction confrrcd.on me; and which" I accept from respect for the society and for its objects, rather than trom any hope ol being useiul as a mem- ber. To yourself, I tender my friendly respects. JAMES MADISON.

Cooper's Emporium. KENTUCKY SOCIETY TOR the encouragement of DOMESTIC "MANUFACTURES. On Monday the 1 1th inst. a number of citizens associated themselves togetner as members of the " Kentucky Society for the encouragement of Domestic Ma nufactures : and in qrder the more ef fectually to promote the objects of the association, a meeting on the 1 6th was appointed. Accordingly, on Saturday,several cren tlemen conv cned in the Court Room in Lexington. Captain B. Gaines wascallcd to the chair, and John Norvell appointed Secretary. Mr. Barry explained the objects of the society, and made a number ot re- marks in savour of the policy of encou-ragin- c: domestic manufactures. He was followed by Mr. WICKLIFFE,Mr..CoWA and Mr. Minter, in support of the same policy. The following resolutions were then unanimously adopted: 1. Resolved, That Robert Wickliffe, W. T. Barry, James Cowan, Lewis San ders, and John M. M'Calla, be a commits tee to prepare rules and for .l. c....

INTERNAL IMPROVEMENTS. TOR THB'GAzrflTE. JVIr. Norvell. You will ojffige a friend to ficrmanent internal improve ments, by noticing an article in the Pom rpjip, ot the present month, vesjjecting an alldresjfrom Ue Schuylkill Naviga tion Company. There are upwards of1 Jifty banjis in the state of Pennsylvania, some of jmmense capital aiKJVinfiuence ; it was in that state, that the first Jj$nk in the United States was put In operation ; thcsepeoplc ought to understand bank- ing as, well as" the people of any other state ; yet the writer in the Port Folip is convinced, that the improvemt nt of the navigation of the Schuylkill river by locks', &6 will contribute more to benefit the commonwealth, than all the banks within its territory.,. Is this be the fact, of which I have no "doubt, how much more beneficial to this town, the adjacent counties in parcular, and the state m general, would be a canal from this to the Kentucky river, (say to tne mouth el tinhorn,) tnanthe improve ment of the navijjflttion of the Schuylkill would be to Philadelphia ? That city has a noble river, tJDclaware, was ling the very walls of its warehouses, afford ing on the one hand navigation for ships of the largest class, and on the other for smaller craft, schooriers, batteapXjboats, rafts, Sec. JAnd yet the improVepimtpf the navigation ol the Schuylkill,! inferior to the Kentucky river in length ami fer- tility ofsoil through wnich it runs, is deemed of vast importance ; paramount to all the benefits of allthebankingcapi-ta- l of that immensply wealthy stata .. , It is now generally admitted, thaffcthc present state of the navigation ofth Ken- tucky river isof more injury thanbenqt ; and until it is improved by lotiks, it would be better to waggon the tobacfio from Clarke county, fcc. jtp Louisiille, than risk us getting sate Silt of thqJKentucky river. r ,JL It is believed that the resources of the country are sully adequate to the com pletion, in five years, of a canal from this town to the Kentucky river. I am in- formed hattwo locks below the mouth, of Elkhorn, would afford" at all times a safe navigation to the Ohio; this being completed, would bnng all the produce of the neighboring counties to a general depot, at this place ifbeim the centre of a rich and well cultivated country. When business is brought to a pr6per system, the merchant $I1 be his otfn in- spector of the produce ifljatlio ships, which he cannot be ifi.the present mode. Warehouses will be constructed for the reception of all kinds of produce : a so reigner coming to the state to make pur chases ot produce, will then have it in his power to procure at oncplace any ar ticle he may want. I his section of the countiy can produce tobacco, manufac- tured do. and cigars, hemp, spun yarns, oagging, an Kinas oi coraage ana twines, flour, meal, wheat, corn, oats, buckwheat, whiskey, gin, bees, pork, bacon, lard, beer, cidcr coaches, hats, bqpts and shoes, leather, soap andt tallow" chand- lery, saddlery, plated wfuc, brass do. tin and copper do. red and"yhite lead, dry and in oil, sine and coarse cloths, kerseys and blankets, cottonyarn, shirting, sheet- - mg, chambrays, bcdticking, counter- panes, carpeting, sine and coarse wool, and many other articles, all of- - which would be brought into demand and be- come important articles of exportation, is a safe and sure mode of transportation could tie had by water, which would en- able us, or the purchasers of our pro- duce, to deliver the .same at a sea port, upon terms as low as those situated upon nav igable rivers. On the other hand, all our foreign supplies would come to us lit a diminished price by the same chan nel ; and inmost cases the farmers would Stain their supplies from the very men mat purchased their produce : thus ce menting the connection and interests of the exporting merchant and the far mer. The subject is a grand one ; many-page- s mignt be written"on it; it is no ticed however with a hope that some one win take it up, who can arouse the unac- countable apathy of those so deeply in- terested. You must first induce the heo- - file generally to think and to act ; they are me lever mat can ana will mvvc legis- lative bodies to acts of public utility. The Mtizenof New-Yor- k think correctly Upon thSe subjects. A, FORT-HE- , KENTUCKY GtZETTE. ,Mr. Norvell We are informed in a late Reporter, that there are some English Cattle pn their way to thh neigh- borhood for breeders. We congratulate our agricultural friends on this accession of real wealth to our state ; the citizens of wnich, only want to be apprized of the advantage of crossing the breed of their common cattle withhe English, to re- alize it. Having some little knowledge of the origin of the Enorlish cattle now in the state, I have thought it would not be un interesting to the public to communicate it, imperfect as it is, soliciting a like pub- lication from any gentleman of such facts, relative tnereto, as he may be possessed of.. In England, where attention is1 paid to rearing all kinds of stock, and Where agriculture, m.general, is brought perfectioimthan in any other part of the world, thijf take particular carftto keep their different breeds sepa- rate and distinct, and "hence the precision and particularity of the pedigrees of their stock. Thirty or fpflte years ago, old Mr. Patton purghasfeiffcn English bull tjtf the long horn or bees breed.: nimself and neighbors, residing on the" south fork of the south branch of Potomac in Virginia, bred from this bul with the common cows of the country. Some years after- wards the same gentleman procured a full blooded bull and cow of the short horn or milk breed; the ciss of the milk and the part blooded bees breed, produced very sine and large cattle, which arc known in this state as Patton's breed. ' About this time, Mr. niftier of Au- gusta county, Virginia, imported a bull of the bees breed, and a cow of the milk oreed, and afterwards purchased an im- ported bull of the milk breed. The first English cattle brought to Kentucky, was .pf Patton's stock, frqing mixed or crossed with the bees and milk breed ; and indeed, this stock is the great basis of the English cattle in this stale. Mr. Harrison, of Clarke county, got a bull from Miller's stock in Virginia : the cross of this bull and Patton cmys, produced very sine animals ; then came Smith's celebrated bull, also from Mil ler's stock; and lately, Mr. Inskeep of this county, has got out two very sine bulls from Virginia, (a brindle and a red,) the brindle of Miller's stock ; it is not known from what particular stock the red one comes. Mr. Harrison had a bull and cow that he Called the Cary breed, which ris"hot muchVustecmed. Messrs. Hutch- - craft and Welton have a very sine bull called the Shaker. All the English cat- tle in Kentucky, it is believed, have their origin from the above ; anygcntletnan, however, possessing other or more in- formation relative to this subject, will oblige many friends to agriculture, by publishing the same in some newspaper in tnis state. - From the stock we now have, with proper attention to keepjand the selection of males, we may safeFKsaJculate upon producing as sine cattlpaijy in the known world: a judiqipSHpvossing with the late imported one, vill tend vastly to a'&cjfeldratc this desirable object. B. ' . EjGLISHC VTTLE.' We l&irn'whli great pleasure that there js now onihe way to this neigh borhood, and witrhortiy arrive Iitc, veral choice cattle direct fiom line-land imported by. some cnterprizing gen-- j tlctnen of this county. They arrived at Baltimore 1st Mav last, in the snip Mo hawk, from Liverpool. Great pains were taken in the selection .of the cattle for breeding ; we are informed that there nre two iiair of the l'olichorns, to which stock the late l gave the preference, on accoun of their beautiful symmetry, early "maturity and great L ! l- 1 l.:U .n tl.!.- - n..fi.ir ie rr11rl weigm,uiiu viui.inuuu3i.uuiuij ""'i'u the hers breed. There are also several of the Teeswater breed and Holderness, highly esteemed for their early maturity, great bulk, and especially as good milk ers called here the miiK oreea auu also some of the Herefordshire breed--combini- ail the dualities of the above, very beautiful, and said to make the best work oxen in England.

" Mr. Clay is now here. Mr. Craw ford lest tovvn on Saturday last, for Geor- gia. The only regular head of a depart- ment at present here, is Mr. Rush ; and he, you may rely on it, is about to pre- pare himself for a foreign embassy. The president, by this time, must be on the Lakes. He is expected at his seat in Virginia about the latter end of this month. The federalists of New Eng- land havcall affected to turn supporters of the administration ; but it is thought they will turn back again, as soon as the leaders find they cannot all get places of honor and profit in the government. You will see the accounts from Lisbon : they hav e tot up a great plot there as well as elsewjiere. Whatever may have been the magnitude of tne conspiracy, there can be no douht but that it has been oc- casioned by the arrogance of Marshal Beresford and the other English, who now rule Portugal according to their will and pleasure. Ot M'Uregor we hear not a word that is new. He seems to be waiting for reinforcemehts. The she- riff of the city and county of New-Yor- k, whose name is Hubbard, is said to have resigned his office to join hjm. How soon the sate of Florida may be decided, I know not: but of this I am certain, . that r - i it will, before a gtpat while, be annexed to the territory of the United States. vjnee we get possession ot mat portion of country, we shall begin to want elbow room among; the Islands. Cuba will be come desirable; and whenever the seriously turn tnoir thoughts that way; they will take )t. The Inde- pendence of the Spariish Colonies is, in my estimation, as certain as afty thing that is written in the book of sate. In 1810, we had a population in round num bers of 7,000,000 of souls In 1820, at the least, we shall have 10,000,000; and in 1830 upwards of 13,000,000, at the lowest commutation. Considering the character of our population, tnose thir teen million of souls vvill be entirely an overmatch lor Great Britain on the o- - cean; that is, is we keep oil increasing our navy. The year 1830 is buUabout 1 3 years oil : so that in that short space of time, the dominion of the American seas will be ours. When that day ar- rives, good by to the tyrannical domina- tion of Spain. Should Napoleon live thirteen years longer, (and the proba- bility is that he will, is he should not be murdered) he will be liberated from St. Helena by our arms. 1 he ocean, the ocean is .pur element ; and it is.the A- - mencan navy that is destined to cut the srordlan knot of British power, which the European world has hitherto sound it s difficult toUntie." 4 EXTRACT TO THE EHITOR DATED Washington City, August 1 1 . " Mr. Adams and family have at lene-t- arrived at New-Yor- k. He will proba- bly visit his father and friends at the east ward, before he sets out for this city. Letters are expected from him to-da- y. The mails have been obstructed, both from the, south and east, in this quarter, by a most unusual fall of rain. Our streets on Saturday last, were inundated, and several ot our bridges carried away. l have just learnt that'the rise ot the wa ters in and about Baltimore has been ex- traordinary, and has occasioned consid erable losses. How much farther the damap-- e has extended, I have not vet learnt. Mr. Hush's turniture is selluie- off, so that you may be sure he is about to enter upon some new scene of action, the British have notified an intention of keeping their ports open for the impor- tation of bread stuffs, (corn, grain, meal, flour, ind rice,) until November next, piovmen tne encumstances mentioned m, an act. of parliament of the 55thof George, the Third wiil permit it : these circum-- ! stances, is my memory serves me, re-- l lateto the price of grain. You will re- -' collect that the count Regnault St. Jean d'Angely lately, embarked from New-Yor- k for Antwerp. It seems that he had been for jjpnic time deraneed, and when he setpfil, told his friends that he was going to aeuirone the uourbons. The reversfcf 'of Napoleon hayc been, perhaps, too great a shock for his rea- son. ..jjfCb's insanity be real and not feign80,J4the, Bourbons have but little ground'-fP- r keeping his wrfc,, in confine- ment on account of her holding corres- pondence with him.

Secretary Pope's" very good paier" has indiscreetly shown the cloven soot of aristocratic federalism. It distinctly in- timates, that should there really be a ma- jority of the people in savor of a new election of governor, the legislature ought to disregard the will ofthat ma- jority, and decide against the., measure. This is a candid avowal of the contempt which Mr. Pope andiis friends feel for the people. This same paper urges the duty of not following the errors and dt -- lusops" of the "fnultitudt," and cabs upon " all the tateAts and honesty in the state, to aid in propping the tottering pillars of our free and excellent form of government ;" the plain Enghshof which is, that as Mr. John Pope and col. Ga- briel Slaughter, the" tottering pillars" of the federal party, are falling, " all the talents antfhonesty in the state," or, as they mean, all the ar.stocracy of the state, must zealously assist to prop th.m up! THE SENATE. n. The federal party ssem to cherish sanguine hopes, that the Senate S Ken- tucky will resist the " errors and ddu-sion- s" of the " multitude"' id the lower house, and of the great body of the peo- ple, in relation to " this ivickM new elec- tion scheme." But we can tell mem for their comfort, that a majority of the senators are pretty -- well ascertained to be now in savor of electing a new gov ci -- nor. The senate has passed through an ordeal, which was well calculated to pu- rify it from the dross with which it v as encumbered. A majority of the. gentle- men of that body are not, like the fede- ral aristocrats, willing to trample upon the clearbz expressed will of the people Like sensible republicans, they feel and know it to be their duty to act in con- formity to the sentiments of the commu- nity : they are not disposed to engage in a contest with the people, in which they have nothing to gain, and e a y thing to lose. We confidently predict, that a new governor will be elected next Au- gust, ahd that he wi'l ft.ke fie cjiair of state pithout a civil war, maugre th idle and wicked threats which elec tioneering intriguers and declsumers hav e? uttered.

sumed the offensive with v igor, dispersedthe insurgent congress, andcaptured and

beheaded Morales, their principal slay.Since his death, no mail appears to havebeen sound able to unite the confidence)Ms countrymen with ability to command.The lower classes, or mixed race, seeingno prospect ijof succe'eding, got tired ofthe war, and became willing to agrectoany rule, gto any masters, for the sakeof peace, .ware of this disposition pre-

vailing among their followers,' those whosound themselves, in command of differ-

ent corps'or posts, became eager to maketheir peace with the king, and obtainterms for themselves by outsti ipping eachother in the race of submission." Ac-

cordingly, for the last six months, theSpaniards have had more reason, fromthese" causes, to expect a successful issueto their attempts of quelling the rebellionin every province this side of the Isthmusof Darien, than otherwise the combinedpower of Ferdinand and his allies couldhave given thenrv

The following is a short summary ofsome of the late occurrences in that quar-ter: On the I Sth of November last, the in-

surgent thief Teram, with 900 men, wasattacked in the town of Tehuacun, at 3

r. m. oy uuu royausts. i cram waiforced to retire, "with his men, to twochurches in the town, where, aster someresistance,,' hcagreed to capitulate withhis forces, and surrender a neighboringiort to the royalists.

About the same timc.Gen. Ryan, whosucceeded Morales in the command of theinsurgents, gave himself up with about400 lollowers, and obtained the king spardon. At the latest accounts he mhabited the capital.

bout the lOthof December, GeneralOssono, another rebel leader, obtainedthe king s pardon, by submitting with 6

or 700 men. ii-

Gen. Victoria was the only insurgentduel who had not surrendered. On theSth of June lie occupied an ancient sortcalled Palmia, about 30 miles south westof Vera Cl'ife, which he defended with450 men against .auou oti tne royalists,who had betfffthen besieging it someweeks. .v '

Hertera, who was in this" city somelii.i" since. as.an ardent for theindfineml- -

cnts, has eithr delivered Himself up orpeon taken.

It was reported at VcraCruz in June;that Montecalla, a man of'great wealthand influence in his vicinity, had raisedthe standard of revolt, in company withn uigunmy ui luc cumuli uatucu .ricriu,at a place called Aunequat; 'Some dis-

tance to the northwest of Mexico.In the different provinces there were

numerous11 small predatory parties; butnothing that had the shape of an army.

It is thought that the whole SpanishTegular force in Mexico, comprising thelate reinforcements, does not exceed tenthousand men. Marty of the towns andpro inccg, however, in their eagerness towipe off all suspicion of disloyalty, wereusing every exertion to exterminate therebels.

Win. D. Robertson, a colonel In theMexican service, was rfprisoner at VeraCruz, a'iU it was expected would be sentto Old bpjin.

The Spaniards at Vera Cruz, eitherWere or pretended to be igncjant of theop rations of Mina. On the 9th of Junea ii i";ate sailed from the- - inouth of theriver Santander; for which destinationanother frigate and a brig had sailed sometime before. These vessels will endeavorto tut off all communication with Soto laMarina by sea, whiie an army goes a--

gainst it by land.We are told by an intelligent person,

a man of much observation, who had agood deal of conversation at Vera Cruzwit.i Spaniards vin authority and hisrhrink, that they were all unanimously ofopinion, ana expressed lfwithout hesita-tion, that England and Spain had lately,concluded an alliance for the safety andeven aggrandizement of their respectivedominions in America. They boastedtlrit tne Court of St. James had agreedto -- ssist when required, the Court of Ma-drid in subduing the revolted colonies.Tney ai'ded that an opportunity wouldeagerly be sought aster by both powersto lam their united arms against the U-n.- t(

d States ; and thus blot out the onlyexample of a successful rebellion. Thisis evidently the mere opinion of Ferdi-nand's minions, but none can doubt buttiat they and their master entertain anyother than amicable sentiments towardsti,is country. JZ

montpelier, june 27, 1817.Sir I have received your letter of the

18th instant, informing me tffat the A- -,.;,-- c r .i "

iin.in.aiiuui.iciv iui uiu cneuuraireuieniof Domestic Manufactures, have beenpleased to elect me one of its members.

Although I approve the policy ofleaving to the sagacity ot individuals,and to the impulse of private interest, theapplication ot industry and capital, I "amequally persuaded that in this, as in oth-er cases, there are exceptions to the general rule, which do not impair the principle dl it. Among these exceptions isthe policy ot encouraging: domestic manufactures, within certain limits, and inrelerence to certain articles.

Without entering into a detailed viewof the subject, it may be remarked, thatevery prudent nation will wisn to be independent of .other nations, for the necessary articles of food, of raiment, andof defence ; and particular considerations,applicable to the United States, seenvtostrengthen the motives to this indepcnd-- lence.

Besides the articles fallintr under theiabove description, there may be others,tor manufacturing which natural advan-tages exist, which require temporary in-

terpositions for bringing them into regular aim successiui aoiJiiy.

Where the funtf ' "of industry is ac-quired from abroad, and not withdrawnnor withheld from other domestic cmJployments, the case speaks for itself.

I will only add, that among the articlesof consumption and usCj, the preferencein many cases i3 decided merely by fash-ion or habit. As far as equality, and stillmore, where a real supeiiority is soundinline articles manufactured at home, allmust be sensible, that it is politicand pa-triotic to encourage a preference of them,as affording a more certain source of sup-ply for every class, ana1 a more certainmarket for the surplus products of theagricultural class.

With these sentiments, I beg you tomake my' acknowledgements for themark of distinction confrrcd.on me;and which" I accept from respect for the

society and for its objects, rather thantrom any hope ol being useiul as a mem-ber. To yourself, I tender my friendlyrespects. JAMES MADISON.

INTERNAL IMPROVEMENTS.TOR THB'GAzrflTE.

JVIr. Norvell. You will ojffige afriend to ficrmanent internal improvements, by noticing an article in the Pomrpjip, ot the present month, vesjjectingan alldresjfrom Ue Schuylkill Navigation Company. There are upwards of1

Jifty banjis in the state of Pennsylvania,some of jmmense capital aiKJVinfiuence ;

it was in that state, that the first Jj$nk inthe United States was put In operation ;thcsepeoplc ought to understand bank-ing as,well as" the people of any otherstate ; yet the writer in the Port Folip isconvinced, that the improvemt nt of thenavigation of the Schuylkill river bylocks', &6 will contribute more to benefitthe commonwealth, than all the bankswithin its territory.,.

Is this be the fact, of which I have no"doubt, how much more beneficial to thistown, the adjacent counties in parcular,and the state m general, would be a canalfrom this to the Kentucky river, (say totne mouth el tinhorn,) tnanthe improvement of the navijjflttion of the Schuylkillwould be to Philadelphia ? That cityhas a noble river, tJDclaware, was lingthe very walls of its warehouses, affording on the one hand navigation for shipsof the largest class, and on the other forsmaller craft, schooriers, batteapXjboats,rafts, Sec. JAnd yet the improVepimtpfthe navigation ol the Schuylkill,! inferiorto the Kentucky river in length ami fer-tility ofsoil through wnich it runs, isdeemed of vast importance ; paramountto all the benefits of allthebankingcapi-ta- l

of that immensply wealthy stata .. ,It is now generally admitted, thaffcthc

present state of the navigation ofth Ken-tucky river isof more injury thanbenqt ;and until it is improved by lotiks, it wouldbe better to waggon the tobacfio fromClarke county, fcc. jtp Louisiille, thanrisk us getting sate Silt of thqJKentuckyriver. r ,JL

It is believed that the resources of thecountry are sully adequate to the com

pletion, in five years, of a canal from thistown to the Kentucky river. I am in-

formed hattwo locks below the mouth,of Elkhorn, would afford" at all times asafe navigation to the Ohio; this beingcompleted, would bnng all the produceof the neighboring counties to a generaldepot, at this place ifbeim the centreof a rich and well cultivated country.When business is brought to a pr6persystem, the merchant $I1 be his otfn in-

spector of the produce ifljatlio ships,which he cannot be ifi.the present mode.Warehouses will be constructed for thereception of all kinds of produce : a so

reigner coming to the state to make purchases ot produce, will then have it inhis power to procure at oncplace any article he may want. I his section of thecountiy can produce tobacco, manufac-tured do. and cigars, hemp, spun yarns,oagging, an Kinas oi coraage ana twines,flour, meal, wheat, corn, oats, buckwheat,whiskey, gin, bees, pork, bacon, lard,beer, cidcr coaches, hats, bqpts andshoes, leather, soap andt tallow" chand-lery, saddlery, plated wfuc, brass do. tinand copper do. red and"yhite lead, dryand in oil, sine and coarse cloths, kerseysand blankets, cottonyarn, shirting, sheet- -mg, chambrays, bcdticking, counter-panes, carpeting, sine and coarse wool,and many other articles, all of-- whichwould be brought into demand and be-

come important articles of exportation,is a safe and sure mode of transportationcould tie had by water, which would en-

able us, or the purchasers of our pro-duce, to deliver the .same at a sea port,upon terms as low as those situated uponnav igable rivers. On the other hand, allour foreign supplies would come to uslit a diminished price by the same channel ; and inmost cases the farmers would

Stain their supplies from the very menmat purchased their produce : thus cementing the connection and interests ofthe exporting merchant and the farmer.

The subject is a grand one ; many-page-s

mignt be written"on it; it is noticed however with a hope that some onewin take it up, who can arouse the unac-countable apathy of those so deeply in-

terested. You must first induce the heo- -file generally to think and to act ; theyare me lever mat can ana will mvvc legis-lative bodies to acts of public utility. TheMtizenof New-Yor- k think correctlyUpon thSe subjects. A,

FORT-HE-,

KENTUCKY GtZETTE.,Mr. Norvell We are informed in

a late Reporter, that there are someEnglish Cattle pn their way to thh neigh-borhood for breeders. We congratulateour agricultural friends on this accessionof real wealth to our state ; the citizensof wnich, only want to be apprized of theadvantage of crossing the breed of theircommon cattle withhe English, to re-alize it.

Having some little knowledge of theorigin of the Enorlish cattle now in thestate, I have thought it would not be uninteresting to the public to communicateit, imperfect as it is, soliciting a like pub-lication from any gentleman of such facts,relative tnereto, as he may be possessedof.. In England, where attentionis1 paid to rearing all kinds of stock, andWhere agriculture, m.general, is brought

perfectioimthan in any otherpart of the world, thijf take particularcarftto keep their different breeds sepa-rate and distinct, and "hence the precisionand particularity of the pedigrees of theirstock.

Thirty or fpflte years ago, old Mr.Patton purghasfeiffcn English bull tjtf thelong horn or bees breed.: nimself andneighbors, residing on the" south fork ofthe south branch of Potomac in Virginia,bred from this bul with the commoncows of the country. Some years after-wards the same gentleman procured afull blooded bull and cow of the shorthorn or milk breed; the ciss of themilk and the part blooded bees breed,produced very sine and large cattle,which arc known in this state as Patton'sbreed.' About this time, Mr. niftier of Au-gusta county, Virginia, imported a bullof the bees breed, and a cow of the milkoreed, and afterwards purchased an im-ported bull of the milk breed.

The first English cattle brought toKentucky, was .pf Patton's stock, frqingmixed or crossed with the bees and milkbreed ; and indeed, this stock is the greatbasis of the English cattle in this stale.Mr. Harrison, of Clarke county, got abull from Miller's stock in Virginia :

the cross of this bull and Patton cmys,produced very sine animals ; then cameSmith's celebrated bull, also from Miller's stock; and lately, Mr. Inskeep of thiscounty, has got out two very sine bullsfrom Virginia, (a brindle and a red,) thebrindle of Miller's stock ; it is not knownfrom what particular stock the red onecomes. Mr. Harrison had a bull andcow that he Called the Cary breed, which

ris"hot muchVustecmed. Messrs. Hutch- -craft and Welton have a very sine bullcalled the Shaker. All the English cat-tle in Kentucky, it is believed, have theirorigin from the above ; anygcntletnan,however, possessing other or more in-

formation relative to this subject, willoblige many friends to agriculture, bypublishing the same in some newspaperin tnis state.- From the stock we now have, with

proper attention to keepjand the selectionof males, we may safeFKsaJculate uponproducing as sine cattlpaijy in theknown world: a judiqipSHpvossing withthe late imported one, vill tend vastlyto a'&cjfeldratc this desirable object. B.

' . EjGLISHC VTTLE.'We l&irn'whli great pleasure that

there js now onihe way to this neighborhood, and witrhortiy arrive Iitc,veral choice cattle direct fiom line-land

imported by. some cnterprizing gen-- j

tlctnen of this county. They arrived atBaltimore 1st Mav last, in the snip Mohawk, from Liverpool. Great pains weretaken in the selection .of the cattle forbreeding ; we are informed that therenre two iiair of the l'olichorns, to whichstock the late l gave thepreference, on accoun of their beautifulsymmetry, early "maturity and greatL ! l- 1 l.:U .n tl.!.- - n..fi.ir ie rr11rlweigm,uiiu viui.inuuu3i.uuiuij ""'i'uthe hers breed.

" Mr. Clay is now here. Mr. Crawford lest tovvn on Saturday last, for Geor-gia. The only regular head of a depart-ment at present here, is Mr. Rush ; andhe, you may rely on it, is about to pre-

pare himself for a foreign embassy. Thepresident, by this time, must be on theLakes. He is expected at his seat inVirginia about the latter end of thismonth. The federalists of New Eng-land havcall affected to turn supportersof the administration ; but it is thoughtthey will turn back again, as soon as theleaders find they cannot all get places ofhonor and profit in the government. Youwill see the accounts from Lisbon : theyhav e tot up a great plot there as wellas elsewjiere. Whatever may have beenthe magnitude of tne conspiracy, therecan be no douht but that it has been oc-

casioned by the arrogance of MarshalBeresford and the other English, whonow rule Portugal according to theirwill and pleasure. Ot M'Uregor we hearnot a word that is new. He seems to bewaiting for reinforcemehts. The she-riff of the city and county of New-Yor- k,

whose name is Hubbard, is said to haveresigned his office to join hjm. Howsoon the sate of Florida may be decided,I know not: but of this I am certain,. thatr - iit will, before a gtpat while, be annexedto the territory of the United States.vjnee we get possession ot mat portionof country, we shall begin to want elbowroom among; the Islands. Cuba will become desirable; and whenever the

seriously turn tnoir thoughtsthat way; they will take )t. The Inde-pendence of the Spariish Colonies is, inmy estimation, as certain as afty thingthat is written in the book of sate. In1810, we had a population in round numbers of 7,000,000 of souls In 1820, atthe least, we shall have 10,000,000; andin 1830 upwards of 13,000,000, at thelowest commutation. Considering thecharacter of our population, tnose thirteen million of souls vvill be entirely anovermatch lor Great Britain on the o- -

cean; that is, is we keep oil increasingour navy. The year 1830 is buUabout1 3 years oil : so that in that short spaceof time, the dominion of the Americanseas will be ours. When that day ar-rives, good by to the tyrannical domina-tion of Spain.

The mails have been obstructed, bothfrom the, south and east, in this quarter,by a most unusual fall of rain. Ourstreets on Saturday last, were inundated,and several ot our bridges carried away.l have just learnt that'the rise ot the waters in and about Baltimore has been ex-

collect that the count Regnault St. Jeand'Angely lately, embarked from New-Yor- k

" FEDERAL ARISTOCRAY.Secretary Pope's" very good paier"

has indiscreetly shown the cloven soot ofaristocratic federalism. It distinctly in-

timates, that should there really be a ma-

jority of the people in savor of a newelection of governor, the legislatureought to disregard the will ofthat ma-

jority, and decide against the., measure.This is a candid avowal of the contemptwhich Mr. Pope andiis friends feel forthe people. This same paper urges theduty of not following the errors and dt --

lusops" of the "fnultitudt," and cabsupon " all the tateAts and honesty in thestate, to aid in propping the totteringpillars of our free and excellent form ofgovernment ;" the plain Enghshof whichis, that as Mr. John Pope and col. Ga-

briel Slaughter, the" tottering pillars"of the federal party, are falling, " allthe talents antfhonesty in the state," or,as they mean, all the ar.stocracy of thestate, must zealously assist to prop th.mup!

THE SENATE.n.The federal party ssem to cherish

sanguine hopes, that the Senate S Ken-

tucky will resist the " errors and ddu-sion- s"

of the " multitude"' id the lowerhouse, and of the great body of the peo-

ple, in relation to " this ivickM new elec-

tion scheme." But we can tell mem fortheir comfort, that a majority of thesenators are pretty --well ascertained tobe now in savor of electing a new gov ci --

nor. The senate has passed through anordeal, which was well calculated to pu-
