Our only pre sent purpose is to invite a consideration of it; and that it may not interfere with the usual business of this paper, we tender it on a gratuitous sheet. APPOINTMENTS. Many new appointments are reported since our last, which shall be particularly noticed hereafter. As they are not all made known through the prints at the seat of government, we wish to allow a little time to prevent errors. What facilities does the bank give to the treasury as compensation for the exclusive privilege? It collects all the custom house bouds: it receives and keeps safe the receipts for public land, wherever it has a branch: it transfers the money of the nation from any one part of the union to any other, where it may be required: it makes those transfers without any charge for a difference of exchange, which would be no little expense to the treasury: it pays the public debt, by which it is subjected to large drains of specie, highly injurious to its other operations, inasmuch as those drains compel the bank to lessen its discounts. It is peculiarly so at the present time, when the principal of the public debt is paying off MR.

It is to this venerable friend of John Jay, that we are indebted for the copy of an obituary notice published by him in the Courier of Nov. 23, 1816, of Gouverneur Morris-another worthy of the revolutionary days-which contains the following allusion to Mr. Jay. We cannot better introduce this, than by giving the language of the notice itself: go, with several American vessels under convoy and returned again to Smyrna. The Fairfield, captain Parker, and schooner Porpoise, lieut. commandant Bell, were at Smyrna at the above date. HEMP. The following article from the Northampton (Mass.) Gazette, is cheering and shews that we are about to ascend another "round of the ladder of indepen Hines and Bain's machine "is so constructed as to operate 112 times on every inch of the stem; and when running at full speed, rising of 200,000 flutes operate on hemp or flax per minute, in sufficient force to crack and dislodge the stem, and at the same time, preserve the coat or fibre unimpaired. When well tended it will break 300 pounds of hemp or flax in an hour." This &c. and according to the certificates published in the newspapers, is every where approved. The hemp or flax is broken by the machine, and if unrotted, the fibre is then immersed in water a few days, dried, and again run through the machine, which makes it fit for use. "The acts (says judge Benson, referring to Mr. Mor-dence." ris) to which I principally refer, are the report of a committee of congress, 22d April, 1778, on a letter from general Washington, containing a printed paper sent from Philadelphia, and said to be industriously circulated by einissaries employed by the British, purporting to be draughts of two bills intended to be brought into parliament;" their contents in substance, a proposal of a compromise of our claims of rights, and of course involv-machine has been tried in New York, Vermont, Ohio, ing a relinquishment of our independence-and the address from congress thereupon, to the people of the U. States, a few days thereafter. At no period of the revolution was there more cause to be apprehensive for the issue of it; and those remaining who were in it, will doubtless recollect the effect of the report and address, they being printed and distributed together, to revive hope and spirit. We have few, if any, state papers equalling, certainly none surpassing them-unless the address from the congress of 1774, to the people of Great Britain, from the pen of Mr. Jay, should be deemed so: and where, tracing the product to its germ, we find the revolution.

Farmer, says the hemp raised in his neighborhood, when well dressed, commands in market the highest price of the best Russian hemp-from $10 to 12 50 per hundred.

The price of other agricultural products is so low, that he thinks it deserves the considera. their interests does not require them to turn a part of tion of farmers in different parts of the country whether their land, and to apply a portion of their labor, to the cultivation of hemp. The hemp in West Springfield has hitherto been water rotted, and dressed by the brake and swingling board. SUN FLOWER OIL. Elkanah Watson, esq. in a late Keeseville paper, recommends to farmers the cultivation ed a superior oil, useful as a substitute for sweet oil and of the sun flower, from the seed of which may be extract painter's oil. PRINTING FOR CONGRESS. The National Intelligencer corrects an error, into which some of our cotemporaries have fallen, in relation to the value of the printing for congress, by stating that the whole of it for the last ses-hull or outer coat of the seed, and a separation then in Mr. Watson suggests the smut mill for removing the sion will not probably have exceeded $35,000, (instead the fanning mill; so as to extract the oil with greater faof $70,000, as estimated) and the profit upon that amount, cility and economy. after deducting the interest upon the capital or credit employed in the business, would hardly buy a year's bread for a single family. This is the fact, whatever general impression may exist to the contrary. NAVAL. The Norfolk Herald states that orders have been received at the navy yard to fit out the United States ship Constellation, with despatch. It is said she will take out the new ministers to England and France, Messrs. McLane and Rives. The U. S. sloop of war Hornet, captain Norris, and schooner Grampus, lieutenant commandant Voorhees, sailed from Havana 6th inst. having a number of American, English and French vessels under convoy. The U.

S. sloop of war Erie, Daniel Turner, esq. commander, arrived at Pensacola, on Tuesday the 28th ult. from an arduous cruise.

[Balt. Gaz MORGAN AFFAIR. The Rochester Daily Advertiser of the 15th ult. says:-The grand jury of Niagara county have re-indicted several who previously stood arraigned for a participation in the abduction. The reason of this course of procedure appears to be-lest the supreme court should set aside the proceedings instituted in other counties against some of the accused, whose agency in the affair, so far as developed by overt acts, was within the county of Niagara. The case of Bruce, to whose trial in Ontario county his counsel took exceptions on the latter ground, is not yet decided by the supreme court. The trials of Whitney and Gillis are expected soon to come on at Canandaigua. RUSSIA AND TURKEY. Frontiers of Bosnia, March 10. The following are represented to be the condi tions of peace proposed by Russia, to which the Porte refuses to subscribe: 1. The forts of the Dardanelles shall be razed. 2. The commerce of the sea of Marmora and the Euxine shall be free to all nations. 3. Greece shall be recognised as an independent state. 4. The Greek patriarch at Constantinople shall be considered as a diplomatic character. The Guerriere, captain Thompson, arrived at Rio Janeiro in 45 days from Hampton roads, and the St. Louis, captain J. D. Sloat, in 42. The latter is spoken of as a very superior sea-boat, sailing uncommonly fast. She left Rio on the 10th of April for the Pacific, leaving the Guerriere, which required caulking. The crews of our ships are generally in good health, with the exception of some cases of typhus on board the Hudson, in conse- 6.

The porte shall pay the Russians a military contribution of six hundred millions of silver roubles, and the Russians shall occupy Walachia and Moldavia, and the provinces in Asia which it has conquered, till the whole is paid. 9. Servia, Walachia, Moldavia and Greece, shall be placed under the protection of Russia. Wetherall, the attorney general, indulged in a strain of invective, coarse enough to be characterized as gross personality, not only in relation to the solicitor general, but the chancellor. As regarded the chancellor, who has changed his opinions on the Catholic question, he said: "I have got no speech to eat up; I have got no apostacy to explain, [hear, hear]!

HAYTI. Thomas Kennedy lately visited the colored persons sent out by the society of Friends, or Quakers, in North Carolina, to Hayti, with a view to afford them consolation and comfort, in a strange land. He found them unhappily situated-they declared that they would rath er be slaves in North Carolina than tree in Hayti. Mr. Kennedy was not able to do any thing to improve their circumstances in that country. He attempted to take under his protection, with a view of removing them, a family which he had formerly emancipated, and was treated with great indignity on the occasion. When he came to express his opinion of the solicitor general, this polite legislator said, in reference to passing the bill for removing Catholic disabilities: "I would not condescend to frame such a bill. No minister in this country-no man in this realm should compel me so to stultify myself. I refused to draw it. I would not be guilty of such folly, such inconsistency, as that which must accumulate on the head of the man who drew it. I said, you may turn me out of office, but I never will consent to be the dirty tool to draw such a bill [cheers and laughter.] I would not soil my hands with it."&c. When it is recollected that the solicitor general framed the bill, it must be admitted this is plain and pointed enough. [So. Put. GREAT BOROUGHMONGERS.

We learn by letters from Hayti,tution being endangered by the Catholics, whilst at the that the French commissioners concluded a treaty with the Haytien government on the 10th April, by which the time of payment of the debt due to France is extended forty years, without interest. Haytien coffee is to be admitted into France during that period, in French vessels, at a duty mid-rate between the French colonial and foreign duty, or about 24 sous per lb. less than the foreign. No other privilege is to be granted to France over other nations. The operation of this treaty, so far as American commerce is concerned, will be to cut off our carrying trade from Hayti, in the article of coffee, but leave us to enjoy all other advantages which our enterprise can command. Logwood, hides, cocoa, tortoise shell, &c. will now probably form much of the cargoes of our vessels trading to Hayti, and as those do not pay good freights, our trade must fall off. [N. Y. M. Adv. SLAVE TRADE. We learn from St. Thomas, that information has reached Porto Rico from Africa, that 50 sail of Guineamen, of different nations, had been taken by the British cruisers on that station, one of them containing 450 slaves, that were to have been delivered at Porto Rico. tons. same moment he has actually in the house of commons seven members returned by his influence against the express law of the land and spirit of the constitution. The duke of Newcastle returns two for Boroughbridge, two for Aldborough, one for Newark, one for Nottinghamshire, and one for Retford; and he has, by this corruption, three and a half times as much power in the house of commons as the whole people of Liverpool, Manchester, Birmingham and Leeds, combined. And yet this man has the audacity to talk of the sacred liberties of the country, and his respect for the constitution! The boroughs of his grace are worth seven thousand pounds a year, the whole of which he may sell and convert to his own use; and yet he talks of the constitution, and the sacred liberties of the people! As well might the wretch, who lives in the habitual violation of all honorable feelings, talk of his conscience and character, as the duke talk of the constitution of England. By such men as his grace are the Catholics opposed, the king oppressed, and the government harassed; they clog the wheels of the system, and divert the resources of the people to their private uses; for the duke has the meanness to allow his mother to receive a pension of £1000 per annum!

The members of the British parliament do not, perhaps, indulge so often in personalities as our members of congress; but they occasionally give expression to their contempt of their opponents in quite as strong a manner. During the debate on the second reading of the Catholic bill, sir James From the Times of the 11th April. It seems to us unquestionable, as we stated yesterday, that Rowland Stephenson cannot be given up to any British authority, by any authority in the United States, without a breach of the law of nations.
