llauth Port-au-Prince papers to the 17th of LOVE OF LIBERTY. Tht Law's delay." nicctimr of the members of the Bar, from dif. THE STAXl. 26, 1825. HedJeld.

little volume has been published recently by Wilder 8 Campbell, entitled Rcdfield-a Long-Island talc of the Seventeenth From a slight perusal which wc have given it wc would take the liberty of recommending ft to' the attention of those persons of taste, who are fond of such productions, It comes before the public without the name of the author in the title page, but there arc internal marks which indicate the work of a female. It professes indeed to t-kctch the manners of a tribe of Indians who inhabited the south part of Long-Island during tlie reign of the second Charles of England but it contains a great proportion of those sentimental descriptions, with which a female might be sup. posed more conversant. The story is simple in the extreme; and con. tains few, if any, surprising incidents.

Htdficld the hero of the talc, in order to avoid the machi-' nations of Titus Oates in England, emigrates to the then North American colonies, and when he approaches the coast ot New-Ytn shipwrecked on the southern shore ol'Eong-Lhuul. The daii'd--ler of an Indian thief saves his IdV, through hc'r exertions, while the rest of his comrades arc swallowed in the billows. He is aftei wards introduced to an Englishman, by the name of Not wood, by whoso assistance he procures a sloop from lJustoi) and proceeds on a trading voyage though Uu- Sound, and round the coast of the I-laiid. T.ii Norwood has an only daughter, between whom an.i Redfuld, as there exists a secret attachment. In the mean time the Indian piiuress is captured in a battle between Ik own tti re ami a ho ly of Naragansetts.

Hcdlicld, from motives of gratitude, sets out and procures her ransom, and ufit-nvjrds is married 10 Miss Norwood at the same time that tnc In-eli female is joined to a chief to whom she had been affianced. Tne s'yle and composition of the novel is pleasant and correct. The author appears, however, to possess a greater share of faculty in writing than of llie higher power of invention. The sentiments aie also unobjectionable, and, on the hole, it is a very agreeable little story to occupy an afternoon of elegant leisure. A'al.

Our correspondent at Cape Island, writes to us under date of May 16th that there were about 130 sail of vessels then lying at anchor in Cape May Roads, most of them vessels fitted out in ports to the. north of Boston, for mackerel fishing. Each will carry from 200 to 250 barrels, and having mostly made up their loads, they arc only wailing for a fair wind to sail for New-Yoik.

There is too much reason to fear, that hite men were the instigators of this horrid butchery. Caution.

It lias been dug to the depth of twenty-six feet without penetrating through the strata. Several of our faims that lie contiguous to the water, have abundance of clay, and have every convenience for making bricks.

Clay might he-conic a source of no inconsiderable wealth lo this part of the island, if proper attention was paid to it. But, as yet, it is made productive to a very limited extent. Considering the high price of bricks, and the prospect of an increasing demand for them, it is surprising that there are so few to invest their propcity in a business, which, by proper management, might become very lucrative. The bricks from this town arc considered among the best that enter the Ncw-Yoik niaiket. The clay found in this vicinity is of various kinds, suitable for stone and earthenware as well as for bricks L.

To His Excellency the Preside of the Senate. Excellent Sir, The peace of Peru, which our arms have effected, by tlac: most glorious victory of the new world, has determined the war on the American Thus Colombia has no longer an enemy in own territories or in those of her neighbours. 1 have therefore fulfilled my mission, consequenT I it is time to realize the promise I have so often made to my country, of re tiring from public 1 ife when an enemy was no longer to be found hi America. All the world observes and confesses that my continuance in Colombia is no longer necessary, and no one is more sensible ot this fact than my self. I must even add that I deem my glory at its height, on beholding my cou iitry free, consol idatctl, and tranquil ere I witlul raw from its glo rious shores.

My absence in Pt; ru has manifest ed the truth ot this lact, and I tlsMtcr nvysclt that in future, the liberty and irlory of Colombia will still farther increase. The lcii sdative body, the the Vice-President, the army, and the nation, have demonstrated in the very outset of their career, that they are worthy of liberty, and iully capable of sustaining it against every opposition. Let me honestly confess to Vour Excellency, that I wish both Europe and A. tncriea should be satisfied of my abhorrence of supreme power, under whatever asucit or name it may uc con ferred on me. My feelings are wounded by the atrocious calumnies lavished oil me, at once by the liberals of Amc.iica and the seniles of Europe.

Day and night I am disquieted by the impressions that my enemies entertain of my services in favour of liberty being prompted by ambition. In short I venture to state to Youi Excellency with unusual iranVtness, which 1 hope will be excused, that I 1 1 1 ink the glory of Colombia will suffer by my continuance her territories; inasmuch as it wil 1 always be ima gined that she is threatened by tyrant; and tin outrage thus offered to me will in sonic sort tarnish the lustre of her virtues, si nee I form a part although the least, of the Republic. I beg Your Excellency will be pleased to sub mit to the consideration ot tlie henrte, my minciation of the Presidency ot" Colombia. It admission will he an ample recompense for my services in both Republics. Your Excellency wil! please to accept the as surance of my distinguished consideration.

SIMOZS BOLIVAR. Lima, December 22, 182 1. ANSWEIl. To his Excellency the Libera or ami President of the Republic 'f Colombia. Senate House, Bogoto, Feb.

11,1325 Excellent Sir In conformity with the com munication 1 had the honor to make to low Excellency in my note of the 1 st I assembled the two lceistive Chambe- i-s on the 8th inst at night, in order to deliberate- in their wisdom. on the renunciation made by Your Excellency. of the Presidency of the Republic. The communication of Your Excellency havirg been read, and this delicate affair proposed for discussion, a most profound and digni tied silence prevailed for sometime. This truly expressive silence, a silence more clocjiient than human langur ge, continued for the space of fifteen minutes.

The females, and numerous spectators who occupied the galleiies of the Senate were immovable, and anxiously awtxitcd the decision of the legislature. At lengtli the question ol the retirement of Your Excellency was put to the vote, and I have the pleasure ol announcing its rejection by the scventy-tli rce members composing the Congress namely, twenty-one senators and fifty-two representatives. Then it was that this amiable people, this people that adore its Liberator, could not restrain its transport of jo'. The clapping of hands was heard for tin first time in the chamber. Your Excellency was cheered with the most lively enthusiasm, and the legislature also were applauded for having manifested so correct o.

judgment in this august deliberation. All was oy, all was gaiety. The people, Sir, knew not how to express their feelings of satisfaction, tenderness, and pure delight. In short they proved how precious to them was the father of Colom Lia, the friend of the human race, in a mode as sincere as it was energetic, lour Lxcellencv would nave been deeply afflicted, had you (fortunately for us) be held the moving scene. 'I" lie cherished, the respected name of Simon Uolivar, resounded throughout Bogota, and the numerous assem blacre of both sexes, that it I i contented hearts crowded the streets, contributed to the solenini tv ot this act ol Lonsrress, A Here was not an individual "who did not repose more tranquilly for knowing that Your Excel lency continued in the Presidency ol the Republic Such are the events of the memorable night cithe 8th of February which have the satisfac tion of communicating to Yon i Excellency.

Your Excellency will please to accept the sen timents of my distinguished consideration and respect. LI IS A. IJvKULl, President of the Senate From the Boston Centinel. What constitutes a state?" True Greatness. During their lat session of about three months (he public spirited legislature ol iVw-Yoik, passed 3'J8 laws by which nearly seven ttnarcd ihmmind dollars.

were appropriated for public improvstrsiienl, independent of large sums given to sustain the intf resu ol limning, religion, charitv, and the useful arts. The objects of this public spiiit, are, the opening of a canal between llie Seneca and Erie lakes, exploring nnd opening seventeen other canals, many of winch are of a mr jniiuie winch would frighten from even the conteinpln i on of them, many ol the states, miring llitmsdvti great, patriotic anil liberal and acknowledged to be rich draining large marshes; and opening a sle road from the I Itulson to Lake l.nc Such deeds constitute a ilult and legislature which has the spirit to unilertukc great object can always create the means, and command the resources to effect litem. They do indeed cast their bread upon llie and find egain alter a few days, Western trade. The day is nut fit- 'itant when all the trade west of the Allegany and Ohio i ivers, including most of that of the flourishing city of Pit stxirgh will pass Ihro' our canal. We are told that fee additional Heam-bonts and several schooners are building to ply on Lake Lrie.

O.ie of the steam boats is to run liulUo to Krie, in connection with a line of canal packet boat, and there is not a doubt but thai all the vessel a on the lake will have lull employ when the canal shall liase been completed, which will be early in September. -X lute of stages to run daily from Iie to Pittsburgh is slo to be established, (foods will be transported from New-Vwk to Pittsburgh, via the canal, much cheaper than hse-v can he carried there ever land from Philadelphia Albany Oaidte.

Mr.

Emmet, from a committee appointed for the purpose made a report, of which the following is the essential part Your committee are of opinion, that the judi ciary system, as organized by the new constitu tion and the subsequent legislative enactments, is a total -failure. It has neither lessened the expense, nor abridged the duration of law-suits, nor has it, except in some lew instances, promoted the convenience of suitors. On the contrary) the evils complained of, have gone on increasing in number and in magnitude with an unexampled rapidity. In the Conn of Chancery, about seven-eighths, and in the Supreme Court a stiil greater proportion ol the causes are from term to term necessarily left unheard. The average duration of a suit in cither of those courts is from three to five years, and it is in the power of a party so disposed, to protract the delay still more.

It must be apparent, that such a state of tilings cannot be permitted to continue without greatly impairing the value of property, and bringing the government into discredit with the people. The passage of stop-laws, it will be recollected, was at one time deemed an evil so great, as to warrant the interposition of the I'nmcrs of the federal constitution. -And what, your committee would ask, is the difference between delays of execution and delays of judgment without which execution cannot be obtained. A remedy for these evils is, in the opinion of jour committee, within the power of the and does not require any immediate alteration of the constitution. They are happy in having been able to come to this conclusion, because it renders the period of relief much less remote.

Your committee then propose that the following plan should be submitted to flic legislature as one calculated in the opinion of the members of the bar to remove many of the existing delays in the administration of justice. 1st. That there should be instituted a fierier Court cf Common Pleas possessing concniTei jurisdiction with the Supreme Court, in all except ciiminal cases and writs ofet i or, mandamus, piohibition, and quo warranto that such new court should be subject to no appellate jurisdiction, other than that of the Court of Erixrs, and that its members should be appointed in ti same manner, and hold their offices by the same tenure as the Judges of the Supreme Court. 2d. That the number of circuits should be reduced as soon as circumstances will permit, to j'ljUr that being the lowest number allowed by the constitution and that as wcil the Judges of the Supreme Court and Common Picas, as the ii inainii Circuit Judges, should try issues of fact arising in both courts, in all the counties of the state.

3d. That the Equity Jurisdiction of the Circuit Judges should be abolished, and thai in its stead there should be appointed two Vice-Chancellors, subject, (since it is so required by the constitution,) to the appellate jurisdiction of the Chancellor. Your committee, in the statements and sug gestions thus made, wish to be understood as in no wise casting censure upon the present Chan cellor and Judircs. I heir labours arc arduous and incessant. It is the Judiciary establishment itself that is unequal to the increased business, wealth, and population ot tlie state.

When a people become extensively commercial in their habits, and every species of property, both real and personal, is the subject of rpetual change, and the passions arc exposed to perpetual excitement, questions of interpretation, and of right and wrong must be continually arising, and as continually calling for the intervention of the Judiciary department. Among a people thus characterized and thus circumstanced, and amounting in numbers to more than a million and a half, it is not unreasonable to suppose that four men should be able to hear and decide, in some stage of the litigation, all, or nearly all, the important questions both of Law and of Equity We conceive then, that an extension of the system is indispensable. It seems superfluous to add, by way of further inducement toils adoption, that no system is so expensive as one that is inadequate, and consequently dilatory. Tnc mere costs arising from the present delays of justice in the two courts to which our attention has been directed, have been estimated at a sum exceeding one hundred thousand dollars peranuum. Not more than half that amount would be required for the support of the judiciary establishment proposed by your committee, ith salaries sufficient to command the best talents of the state.

We have recently seen several specimens of coal, not at all interior to the Wilkesbane, found at different places on the banks of Ihe Chenanpo river, and we have every reason to believe that the hills along this river nre well stored ith this valuable mineral. It is hiiddv proba that the rich veins of coal which abound on the Sus- quehaunah extend up lite Chenango, and are of the same quality as those two hundred miles below us. The coin-inisioner for surveying Ihe route for a canal, will soon commence the jieifoimance of their duties, and as ihe actual existence of estensive coal mini would probably have considerable iullueurc in drtei the route, we would recommend a diligent seurch whrie there aie sirring indications of it.
