Courier to 30th of August inclusiw.
The letter bag waai^tf brought ashore
last evcuing, iu cousequeuce of a
heav} storm that prevailed.
The trial of the Quren, which
liad progressed to the 12ttj day, still
engrossed the whole public attention.
The cross examination of Alqjoc-\
chi closed on the 6th day, and the
Times says ? v ' , Ji
" We believe we may congratu
la te the nation on the exposure ofl
t ? conspiracy against the Queen, by
tl.L' cross-examination of the first wit
ness produced against her Majesty.
Every thing that Majocchi had pre
viously sworn with respect to the soli
tu ??? of her Majesty's bedroom, now
appears to be utterly false. This
v? retched witness was housed and
fed by the British Ambassador, .LrYd
Me wart, a man of an extraction as
lo v as that of ttergami ? of fortunes
: almost as rapid^R.
On the Qth day, th* London Even
ing^ -IujI oiv Aug. 28th, says ? k*Up
to this time 4he only two credible
witnesses examined, were the cap
tains of the Clurindeand Leviathan,
and their evidence acquitted Hit *

and Paturzit* the captain and mate
<?f th'? vessel in which her majesty
mailed was drawn fiom their own
months. Seven hundred and fift*
? dollars a, month were all that ithe
captain received fpr the freight of his
Vessel from the Queen of Knglaud :
which, be jnstiv urged, after the
wear and tear of his ship, after lie
liad paid aud fed his crew, left littl
enough for himself, but, by this
speculation, ip which be is engaged,
he at once gains, even by his own
. confession, (and the public may rely
on it they itlori't know all ^ytft,) One
Thousand Dollars a month! ne< !
clear of expense? ! without the wear
of his ship? without pay and feed
of his crew ! This fellow, therefore,
is enriched tor life ; ami the same
may be said of his mate. * Never
was swearing paid for at ouch a rate
in eilher Italy or England before.?1
A?d here Ave would stop for a mo

From the 0th to the 41th day, the
House wet* engaged in discussing a
question Whether the Counsel should
be * permitted to cross examine the
witnesses in the manner they desired.
, which was finally determined upon
by a majority of five. Lord Krskiue
then moved that the House adjourn,

Exploring Kxpedition ? Last
Friday evening; Governor Cass arri
ved here from Chicago, accompanied
by Lient. \TKay anil Mr. B. A.
Forsyth, both of whom belonged to
the expedition ? all in good health.
YVe. underatnml that tl*e objects of
the expedition have be^n successfully
accomplished. The party has tra
versed four thousand miles of this
frontier since the last of May. Their
root was from this place to Micnili
mackinac, ami to the Hanlt of St.
Mary's \> here a treaty was concluded
with the Chippewa*, for tlir, cession
of a tract of land, with a view to the
establishment of a military post. ?
Thev then coasted the southern shore
of l.ake Superior to the Fond du
l?act ascended the St. Louis Riv?*r
to one of its souicch apd descended
a small tributary >Uc?m of Sandy
I Luke, to the Mississippi. Theyl
tl en ascended t Win latter river to the
i? j>per Red Cedar Lake, which max
lie considered as the principal source
of the Mississippi, and \\hich rs the]
leservoir where the stnall stream^l
forming that river unite. "From this
lake they descended between thirteen]
and fourteen hundred miles to l'rai
rie du C hi? n, passing hv the post of,
St. Peter's f on the route. They
then navigated the Ouiscousin to the!
portage, entered the Fox river, and
descended it to Green Hay. Then
the party separated in order to oh-|
?tnin a correct topographical sketch otj
Lake Yfachigau. Home of tbeni
coasted the northern shore of Michi
limackinac, and the others took the
route by Chicago. From this point
they will traverse the eastern shore
of the Lake to Mi( hilimackinac, and
may be exacted here in the course
of a week. Gov. Cass returned
from Chicago hy land. A correct
topographical delineation of this ex
tensive frontier may now he expected
from the accurate observations of
CapL Douglass, who is fully com
petent to perform the task. We
have heretofore remained in ignorance
upon tliis subject, and very little has
been added to the stock of geographi
cal know ledge, since the French pos
sessed tlie country. We understand
that all the existing maps are found
to he very erroneous. The character,
nwmlwrs, situation, and feeling of
the Indians in those remote regions
have been fully explored, and . we
trust that much valuable information
upon these subjects will he commu
nicated to the government and to the
public* We learn that the Indians
are peaceable, but that the effect of
the immense distribution of presents
to them by the British authorities at
Maiden, and at Drummond's Island,
has been evident upon their w ishes
and .feelings, . through the whole
route* Upon the establishment of
our posts, aud the judicious distri
bution of our small military force must
we rely, and not upon the disposition
of Indians. The important
I mints of $he country are now al
most all occupied by our troops, and
these point* have been selected w itii"
great judgment. 1 1 is thought by the
party, that the erection of a military1
work a* the Sault, is essential to our
security In that quarter. It is the
key of Lake Superior, and the In
dians in its vicinity are more disaffec
ted than anj^ others upon the route.
Vheir daily intercourse with ikum
rnoncPs Island leaves us no reason
to doubt what are the means by wttich
their feelings are excited and contin
ued. The importance of tips site,
in a military point of view, has not
escaped the observation of Vi r. Cai
lionn, andit was for this purpose
that a treaty "Was directed to be lield.
^rhe report which, he made to the
House of Representatives, in J .ulna
rs last, contains his views upon the
subject. ' v
We cannot hut hope that no redac
tion will be made iu the r$nks of the
army. It is by physical force alone,
and by a proper display of it, that we
must expect to keep within reason
able bounds the ardent, restless, ami
discontented savages, by whom this
whole country is filled and surround
ed. Few persons naving at a dis
tance are aware of the means which
are used, am] too successfully used,
by the British agents, to embitter the
minds of the Indians, and preserve
such nn influence over then#, as >viii
ensure their co-operation in the even*
of any future difficulties. A post at
the Fond dn Lac will, , before long,
he necessary, and ic is now proj^er
that one should he established at the
portage between the Fox and Ouis
cousin nivers. *
Mr. Schoolcraft has exanftned the
geological struction of the country,
and has explored, as far as practica
ble, its minera logical treasures. ?
We are happy to learn, that this de
partment could not have been confi
ded to one more able or zealous U
effect the objects connected with it.
Extensive collections illustrating th<
natural history of the country, ha\
been made, and will add to the com
tnon stock of AuiericAp feci puce, <
We understand that copper, iron,
and h ail, aie vi n abundant through
the \\ hole rounti y, ai,cl that the grt*at
mass of copper upon the Onconagan
rivrtf lias been fully examined. ?
Upon this, as well as upon other
subject*, we hope we shall, in a
few days, hp ahle to romuiunicate
mure detailed information.
The Boston I >atriot states, (hat
die Commissioners to settle the
boundary lines have completed their
labours, and w ill shortly meet in this
city to make their reports. The'
new line, it Is said, b^tsveen Maine
and Lower Canada, villi add a large
territory to that state, and that be
tween New-York end Canada will
leave the works at House's Poini
u iihin the British province. It is also
reported that a proposal has been
under consideration by the Commis
sioners to confirm (as it appears they
have a right to do) the old lines, re
linquishing the territory for the fort,
against w hich arrangement 4he in
hvbitants of Maine protest vehement
ly. It appears a matter of 110 great
I moment to whom the fort belongs. ,
While at peace, we do not need it;
an J it is to lie jtresumed that in the
jevfcnt of another war with England,
it will be no great impediment to our
taking Canada; whereas the terri^l
tory may be tinned to some present
account. We have already more
military stations than our little army
can occupy, and although the same :
may be said of our territory as com
pared with our population, yet it*
possession involves no useies ex
pense, even if it yields no immedi
ate advantage.? JV. F. American.
Compptition. ? Perhaps there' is
nothing; better calculated to promote
the interests of Agriculture, than
the establishment of Societies, in
which prizes are held ?ut to the in
dividual members who shall reap the
greatest product from a specified por
tion of land. It. gives a stimulous
to industry, calls into action the skill
of the Farmer, and leads 4o experi
ment and improvement in cultivation.
We have been fa voted with an ex
tract of a letter from the neighbor
hood of Stateburg, in which we are
gratified to observe the happy result
of this Competition. The Competi
tors for the prize, for the product of
one acre of Indian Corn, have evin
ced the fact ; as the harvest of many
of them was from 80 to 85 bushels.
The successful Competitor, Dr. Ko
be ut J3ko wnfi f.ld, had a produce
of 87 bushels and 12 quarts from
one acre of old high land.

A correspondent at Lincolntou, un
der date of the 25th September, re- i
quests us to warn the p?iV>lic against
a vidian by the name of Jeremiah
Smith , who is linking in that part I
of the country. HaicFKmith is about
$6 years of age, 5 feet 9 or 10 inches
high, black hair, blue eyes, and
quite fat; wears homespun panta
loons and vest, grounded with cop
peras colour, coat of tl?e same color,
made rather short, lie learned the
blacksmith's trade in tiurke county,
in Col. Andrew Beard's shop, lit
was branded ill ftiw right hand at
Burke Huperior Court, for man
slaughter. He had th? mark cut out,
but it is >?ti 11 perceptible He may
be readily known, ? as be is a large,
fat, impudent looking man. It is
said he has a family in Bouth Caro
lina, somewhere between Camden
ancl Rocky Monnt, and it is proba
ble he will attempt to get to them. ?
He rode a bay horse. He has often
been pursued and a number of times
taken, for the most flagrant violations
of law; but the rascal has always
succeeded in extricating himself, and
still roams-ahont the country, setting
ut defiance the arm of justice. Mr.
Moore, a worthy and resolute citi
zen, once oame upon Hmitli alone
and unarmed? a desperate struggle
( fiMued ; but Smith being much the
irgesi and* strongest, |*tu> worsted
<uoie, stabbed liim with a dirk,
md, had lus pistol not missed tire, |
would have shot liimdend on the spot.
Happily, .Mi. .N oore's ? ound is not
dangerous. J he fellow li;? so often
kidnapped negroes in Sotnh-l'nroli
na, that the different rewards which
have heeu offered for his apprehen
sion amount to upwards of 2000 dol
lars. It is hoped that every goo.l
^itizenjK ill he vigilant in endeavoring
to bring to justicc this atrocious t>couu
drel.

Tlrc progress of improvement is a
subject that is always calculated to
excite pleasure in the mind, and
when that improvement takes placG
in public measures, all are interested,
its effects become more generally
extended and it must lie hailed wifb
joy by those who have regard to the
true interests of the Stale. It was
with great satisfaction, that I wit
