CAMDEN. FRIDAY, JULY fc 1819. in consequence of the illness of one of our workmen, the publication of the Ga zctte has been unavoidably delayed till to day. Anniroeraary'of American * INDEPENDENCE. The Fourth of July being on Sunday, was (agreeably to previous to arrange ments) not celebrated tiil Monday the fifth of July. A salute was fired at sun-rise. At ten o'clock a Procession of the Civil Authority, the Orator of the day. Reader of the Declaration of Independence, Clergy, Military and Citizens, was formed at the Court-House, and the whole at eleven o'clock, proceeded to the Presbyterian Church. An appropriate prayer was ad dressed to the Throne of Men y by the Hev. Mr. M'Ewkn ; the Declaration of In pedendence was then read by Tkomas Sai.modns, Esq. afier which an eloquent and patriotic Oration was delivered by Johw C.Carter, Ksq which was received with every mark of approbation. After ihe cxercises of the Church were over, a salute was again fired. About 3 o'clock, the Civil \uthority, Citizina and Military, sat down to an elegant dinner at the Cam den Hotel, prep ti ed hy Mr. HAVis,^at which the Hon. JosRrH Brkvarh, presid ed, assisted by Col. Njxow ; a number of of patriotic toasts were drank, which we regret we are unable to publish. The J Vest em Expedition. The St. Louis Gazette, of the $6th of may, states that the steam boat Johnson passed that place on he 19th ult. with troops, &c for the Yellow Stone. A gentleman at fort Osage, on the Missouri, in a letter to us, uniler date of the 17th May, on the subject of this interesting enterprize, ob serves, that ** col. Johnson is expect ed to be at St. Louis, with his steam mats, by the 15th of this month.? If he succeeds in his enterprise, (of which I have no doubt) he will have done more for the benefit of the western country, indeed I may shy A>r the \Vhole Union, than any oth er man, (except Jackson) ever did. He will have opened a safe and easy communication to China?which wiil ?ive such a spur to commercial enter prise that ten years will not pass away before we shall have the rich productions of that country transi ted from Canton to the Columbia, up that river to the.mountains, over the mountains and down the Mis souri and Mississippi, all the WAy (mountains and 411) by the potent power of steam. These are not idle dreams, tely upon it; tome it seems much less difficult than it was universally called, when I first came here, to navigate the Missouri with sail boats." Important Cession.?It is stated in the Canada papers, that the Mis sisagua Indians have ceded to the British Govornment a tract of 2,748 (XX) acres* of land; equal in extent to 46 townships. It is said, that this tra^t embraces tt>at elegant river, the Mississippi, from its source into the Lake ('handiere, or Ottawa uver."?Y. Com. Jldv. Printing in Palestine. It is well known, that the Arch lishop of Jerusalem' has been som< tme in Kngland, soliciting sublet i| uous to establish a Printing-house, on Mont Libanus, between Syria and Palestine, for the diffusion of the Christian Scriptures in the Syriac language. He has, we learn l>een eminently successful, having been patronjzed by Lord Teignmouth, Mr, Wilberfolce, and many of the British clergy ; though on his arrival it was reported that he was an impor ter. He has visited the great Uni versities in England, w here he was strictly examined in all the Eastern languages, and Mr. Lee Professor of Arabic, has certified to his aston ishing acquaintance with the Oriental literature preserved in the Bodlean library. Mr. Clymer, the American mechanic has presented the Archbish op with one . of his patent printing presses 5 and he lias received presents of several founts of types* - ?

Notes of the State Bank of JVorth Carolina, (says the Baltimore Ind eral Gazette) altered from five to one hundred dollars, are in circulation. The alteration is so well done, that the most accurate observer cannot discover it by a mere examination of the altered note; but, as the appear rance of a five dollar note differs essentially from that of the genuine hundred dollar note, the following marks will enable atiy person, with the least attention, tadetectthe coun terfeits. The genuine note 1ms a female figure, reclining; her left arm resting 011 a horn of plenty, a ship behind her?the altered note has a female figure, sitting; her left arm resting oh a pedestal* behind which is a spinning wheel, her right hand holding a pole, on tlie top of which is a liberty cap, a ship in fmnt. -p In the body of the, altered note, the words following?State Bank of] jyotih-Carotinar-hrr. }n German text; in the genuine note these words ^re in script, or like the common run ning baud?exactly the reverse of the above as to the word Kaleic;h. which is in script in the altered note, and in German text in the genuine one. House Flies.-?'These troblesoftiej little insects may be effectually de stroyed without the use of poison. Take half a tea spoon full of black pepper in powder, one tea spoou full of4m>wn sufcar arid table spoon full ?ofcream, mix them well together, and place them in tlje room on a plate where the flies are troublesome, mod they will soon disappear. Mw-Fork Evening Post. Heir to the British Crown.?The Duchess of Cambridge has been the first the recent married Princesses to give an heir to the crown of Great* Britain. She was safely delivered of a prince about the last of March. The Duke of Cambridge is the sev enth and youngest son of the king of Great-Britain, but the first of them who has ever had a mule heir* He is governor, and commander in chief of the kingdom of Hanover. He married, in May 1818, the daughter of the Landgrave of Hesse. / Antwerp Papsr.
