Sanguine expe< tatious are enter
tained that the Columbus 74, now
finishing at the Navy Yard in this
city, will be completed and ready
for sea, before the winter sets in.
Mauy of her officers are already ap
pointed, and Iter crew are collecting
.with activity, which in tlie mean
time will be received ou board of a
hulk, stationed in the Eastern Branch
of the Potomac. ?
Late Deliberation* of thq Cabinet .
A variety of conjectures are now
afloat, as to the tenor of the late des
patches transmitted by our Govern
ment, in answer to the receipt of
our Minister's recent communication
from Madrid* We understand, how
ever, that nodifficulties occurred it) the
deliberations of the Cabinet as to
the course which remained to be
pursued ; that it was the opiuion of
the executive not to sanction any
evasion or fraud that may be attempt
ed to be imposed under the provi
sions of this Treaty by certain gran
tees, who, .clandestinely oppose
strong impediments to its ratification :
and whq, it is said, have not scru
pled to cnwloy the most fraudulent
means w i thin their power, by the
fabrication of dates, and instruments
to get their claims embraced wltlil 11
the period limited^ This piece of
chicanery, it is understood, to be
tlie determination of government to
resist : that positive instructions on
this head havte been transmitted to
our minister^ Madrid ; and though
the whole amount of these claims is
reported not to exceed 8200,000,
which might be brought up for a
much leas sum? -a mere fraction, na
tionally speaking; yet such is the
straight forward policy of our exe
cutive, and the integrity of its inten
tions, that even this paltry sum, will
not he granted to bribe the interests
or good will of the courtiers or fa
vorites of Ferdinand.
That thia is not a Machiavelian
course is obvious, when serious im?
pediments could be so' easily remov
ed by the application of a little mo
ney j but then it comports more with
the dignity and interest q? a nation,
that disdains to stoop to the practice
of political quackery by administer
ing pecuniary gratification, at the ex
pense of integrity and fair dealing.
By the spirit of the treaty, and its.
faithful execution on our part, we
aro willing to stand or fall. We
now despair of its ratification within
the time limited by Jts provisions ;
and the fulfilment of this condition
is indispensihle to mak6 it binding
on both parties.
We think it highly probable that
the recent instructions of our execu
tive, do not essentially differ from
what has been heretofore transmit
ted ; and it is also not improbable
that 8 pain may have proposed some
new arrangement to get rid of the
importunities of her disappointed
grantees; but what the fate of such
a proportion may have been under
the present negociation, is impossible
to anticipate.

A distressing accident ? On Mon
day about midnight, a Fire broki
"it in the Stable occupied l>y Or
* nge Horses at D. >baw^, ti\

iiicb were eleven horses, nine of
v\t m belonging to Mr. Ruflin, of
city, one to Mr. Jortlon, of
.ivetteville, anil one to W illian
? lif'ou. We are sorry to state, all
. v. Horses were burnt to death, ex '
x pt two of Mr. lluffiu's, which- ha(
unt] their way out of the Stabl*

*Hv injured nv fire, one, it i*
I relieved, past recovery.
It is not known how this accident
uappened. The driver from this
city, who put his horses in the stable
tud cleaned and fed them about 8
iVlock, bad a light, which he ex
inguished. The otlier driver was
in the stable about 11 -o'clock, and
tiarnessed his horses ready to lake
?n the stage on its arrival from Fay
etteVille, but says lie had, no light
with him. A heavy rain which fell
during the fire prevented it from com
municating to Mr. Shaw's ether
stables, which stood at a little dis
tance from that occupied by the stage
horses. . ? v v;*o ,
This is a serious Ipss to Mr. Ruf-'
fin, to repair which will put him to
considerable incouvenience (most of.
his harness being destroyed with hisj
horses); but we are authorized to,
state that every exertion is making toj
rrphice the horses aud^tiarness, and]
that there will be no stoppage Miii

Philadelphia paper.
1 The New -Orleans Gazette of the
4th ult. states, that a most dreadfu.
hurricane took place on the coast of
Ne\t- Orleans on the 38th July, in
which the .United States schooner
Firebrand, officers and crew, were
entirely lost several others have
?inet a similar fate, or have been sunk.
' ? The officers of the Firebrand w ere
Lieutenant Gray, Dr. \\ ardle, and
| Messrs. Perkins and Adams, mid
shipmen. The schooner ihoinas
Shields was also capsized at the bay
of St. Louis, and all the hands lost.
IAU the houses at the bay of St.
Louis were seriously damaged? and
most of them blown down. The
extent of the damage, it .appears by
the New-Orleans Gazette, are as
yet but partially known; ?
A Solid Floor* ? The New-Hamp
shire Patriot, printed at Concord,
states, that a stone, weighing eigh
teen ions, and draw n by seventy oxen,
lately passed through tliat town. ?
The paper adds* that this stone was
wrought by the state convicts; that
it is designed for the floor of a Por
tico iu Boston; and that it is to be
conveyed through the canal to the
| place of its destination.
A Skeleton, it is confidently stat
ed, of a strange fish at least 100
feet long, lias been preserved at
Mount Desert, on the sea cost of the
District of Maine, which was des
troyed there many years ago in all
probability l^y fire. Tim skeleton
extended from shore into some woods
upon its holder*, and the head is
supposed to have been burned off.
At all-events the hoi es are in the
possesion of a gentleman of respec
tability there, and effectual arrange
ments have been made to transport
them to Boston, in the hope that,
upon examination, they will eluci
date the fact of the existence of the
Sea berpent.
