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

and place them in tlje room on a plate
where the flies are troublesome, mod
they will soon disappear.

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.
