Gen Harrison, who passed some time at *Jie Virginia Springs last summer, afterwards visited Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia and j New York, in all which places he was greeted i with public honors. We have not copied the j notices of these proceedings because we do not altogether approve of such homage paid by plain republicans to their fellow mortals, however meritorius. Bat the position of Gen. Harrison as a prominent candidate for the Presidency induces us to copy from the N. Y. Courier and Inquirer of Sept. 130, the following - notice of his reception in that city. RECEPTION OP GENERAL HARRISON. General William Henry Harrison nr.. rived in this city yesterday at 4 P. M., and i we are proud to say, was received by all 1 classes of citizens without reference to party as a gallant soldier who has rendered good service to the country, and a civilian who has been true to the constitution and tiie | laws, always should be, by a just, discrim-1 mating, and grateful people. Thousands hailed his landing, and tens of thousands i united in the grateful huzza which marked his triumphant passage through Broadway to j ? * I! 'l 1 ' ^ t ic American note!, j.very porca w?? crowded, and every window and balcony, exhibfied ladies waving ihcir handkerchiefs j and welcoming *o our ci:y its distinguished ] visiter. On his arrival "nt his lodgings the Chairman of the Oommi tee deputed to welcome him, delivered an appropriate address, to which the General replied in a most felici- i tous manner, and nearly in the following' words:? Sik,?The sentiments which you have conveyed to me on behalf of your fellow ciiizeus, and the kind manner in which you have communicated them, have only added j to the deb: of graditude I already owed to I tiie city of New York. This is not the ; lirst occasion upon which I have received ; ihe generous tender of the hospitality of the ; city; and the emotions which former mani- i testations of their good will excited in my bosom, can never be eftaccu to the latest i hour of my existence. I cannot recollect, sir, without the liveliest1 sensibility, that upon my return through this j city from a most anluous campaign,?when 1 was most anxious to know the views j which m v fellow citizens might entertain of j the value of iny best services in the cause ; of my coun ry on the frontier?that it was 1 my fortune to meet, in your city, with aj welcome, which at once relieved ine of all j anxiety, and left an impression on my mein- j ii'liioh it.t l-meo rvf tune Mil dcstTOV. It I was here, sir, that I received the most gratilying testimony of the generous regard of, inv countrymen, lor my exertions in the } campaign which closed with the battle of j the Thames. With regard to my exertions in behalf of my country to which you have done me the honor to allude, 1 know and feel that it does not belong to me to ustimutc them. I ciui only say, that in every situation in which I have been placed, military or civil, as I ! have never shumk from performing my clu* I ty, so I have never abused the powers con- 1 fided to me, to oppress or wrong any indi-1 vidua!: and that in the most delicate and j trying circumstances, I have ever made ; it the iirst object of my most anxious solici- j mde to reconcile my duty to my country j with the respect due to the rights of tiie ! humblest citizen. Af.er being introduced to many of our ; fellow-citizens,?during which time he ex- j hibited more of the appearance of a man of j forty than of sixty three?he was conducted j to the dining room prepared for the occa- ; sion, where he with tiie committee of this) city, Baltimore, Philadelphia, and New Jer- j sjv, and u tow invited guests, he sat down 1 to m\ entertainment prepared in Milford's j best Siyle. It is well known to all oir readers, that j Mr. Webster was our first choice for the j Presidency, and that we only united in the > support of Gen. Harrison* because we had confidence in his principles and believed, I that while his grout military and civil servi- j ces entitled him to our gratitude, his devotion to the Cons itution and the Laws would 1, render his election not only safe, but a na- j tional blessing?ridding us from the misrule : j of the present most oppressive and tyranni-1 cal dynasty. We never claimed for him a , high order of talents, but that we did not do 1 j irrn?MM)nr?n \\ p vp so* was iiju rumin wi igiiuiuuvbi ??.....w j seen, conversed with, and heard him on the J, spur of occasion, nutke public speeches in j reply to subjects of which in their very na-1 j tare he could not have been prepared; and , we would be wanting in our duty to the public and regardless of what is due to truth , if we did not say, tluu in the whole course ' j of our public life?and it lias not been limi- j. ed in experience?we have never met with , a solitary individual?we except no one? J who possesses such u happy (acuity of con-:. veying to his hearers in the most chaste and I classical style, his firm devotion to the Con- , stitution, his hatred of tyranny, his attach-:] inentto republican institutions, and his grateful appreciation of the attention which his fel-; ^ low citizer.s are every where bestowing upon ( him. In the course of last night's entertainment he was four times compelled to addressthe assembled strangers?for such to : him, most of them were?and there lives not the man who could, unprepared, have j t made such eminently successful harangues. 11 While his mind is imbued with a devoted- j ] ness ro republican principles which cannot! i fail to call forth the best feelings of the Fa- j triot, it is stored with a rich deposit of litcra-! 1 ry lore which irresistably challenges the JI admiration of the scholar. His warmest I friends, his greatest admirers, and his most devoted political advocates, were alike as- < tonished at the tact and patriotism which his i speeches displayed, and the learning with i which they were embellished. He is in- ; deed worthy the support of an intelligent J people for the first station in the world. It affords us unfeigned pleasure to add, that i our Mayor, Cornelius W. Lawrence, prompt- i ed by a conviction of what was due by the < people of this city and of the Union, to so 1 distinguished an individual and great public j1 benefactor as Gen. Harrison, and regard- j < less as be always i^ o\jxrrfij considerations^. in the discharge of his public duties, waited upon the General while engaged at (Tinner with his friends. When about retiring, a gentleman proposed as a toast, " Cornelius C W. Lawrence, the able and efficient Mayor a of the City of New York," which was re. r ccived with three cheers. Mr. Lawrence C briefly replied, and stated that being compell- ti ed to leave town at an early hour in the s morning, he felt that he would have been t wanting in his duty to the inhabitants of 1 this city, if he had not availed himself of j the opportunity, late as it was, to pay his c personal respects, and in the name of his ^ constituents welcome to our city, one who ? had rendered such valuable and distinguish- \ ed service to the country in the hour of its J greatest gloom. His remarks were res- ( ponded to by three times three, and he re- ( tired accompanied by Alderman Purdij, j Schmelzcl Tahnndge and Benson, who had t accompanied him on this well considered t visit of respect for a worthy public servant. ( Saturday, Oct. 1. Honors to General Harrison.?Never since the visit of LaFayette to this city, has tti.TP witnessnd stmli si hurst of elitliU- ( siasm as that with which theHeroof Tippe-11 canoe has been received. Thousands upon ] i thousands of all Conditions and professions j crowded to the City Hall yesterday morn- j 1 ing to pay their respects to the man of the 1 people. It is as gratifying to his friends as t it is honorable to our fellow citizens that i i lor one day. all distinction of party seemed | < merged in the universal desire to render ; ' honor to our distinguished visitor. The ! 1 spectacle was oneof which any uation might j I justly be proud; and the impression made c upon all who were spectators of the scene, t was that of the honest tribute of a people's ) i gratitude to a brave soldier and an honest ! t man who had rendered illustrious services } < to his country. j t \Yc can but regret that our time and space 1 % I will not allow us to detail all the interesting 1 incidents that occured during the morning's j t ceremony;?among the rest, a deputation j t front the members of the Bar, apj>ointed { \ impromptu, waited upon the General,and the j [ Chairman, Hugh Mtunrc 11,Es<\. made an ap-1 c propriate address,rendering a warm welcome j c to the defender of the northwestern frontier, j 1 " . i.:^L ! , us well as tiic assurance 01 me nign respect; s entertained by the Committee for his pri- j rate worth, ami his memorable services to 11 the nation in the darkest hour of the late ? c war. Here again was manifested that tab ' t ent ibr which Genera! Harrison is so eini- [ nentlv distinguished, viz. of ready ofT-hana < replies of the most appropriate style and t sentiments. Exhausting as is the task of c receiving and shaking hands with thou- t sands of his fellow citizens, the hardy vetc- *j ran seemed to be insensible to all approach f of fatigue. c v The New York Times, after stating some ( incidents in the trial of a colored woman indicted for purjury in the suit of Anron Burrs wife tbr a divorce from her hnsband, gives the fol- ' lowing history of Burr's acquaintance with * his said wife. J It is said he became acquainted with (j Madame Jumel, then a light and lovely Jer- c soy girl, about 45 years ago. It was soon [ tlw, rvf Inc ii-ifii nnrl irNnn Kn u.no Ill* l UP U*'UU1 \jl 1110 n iuui uv. niw j] in the prime and zenith of his power. She i was facinated with him?saw with exultation the elevated point on which he stood when in 1801 he went into the House of Itepre- y sentaves on a tie with Thomas Jefferson a for the Presidency of the U. States, follow, ii ed his checfjuered fortunes, and bore a love r towards him which hns never ceased whol- 1 lytocxis\ She had, it is said, children, b Report states that it was a favourite maxim with Aaron Burr thut men are like fishes in b the sea, born to devour each other. h Whether this lady practically experience a ced the conduct that must grow out of such n an idea is not known. She afterwards be- c came the housekeeper of Monsieur Jumel, h a rich French merchant established in New ti York. Report states that she became dan. t< Tprously sick and solicited Monsieur Jumel F ro let her die the death of an honest woman, n He married her; immediately after which c site rapidly recovered, and assumed the n honors and wealth belonging to the wife of it her husband. He soon after departed for a Kuropc, and died in Paris, leaving her mis- si tress of great wealth. For a long time af. 1 tor this, she was housekeeper again to Aa. si ron Purr, and having, it is said, a point to o ?ain in relation to her children, induced him si to marry her. He mortally oflended her, / however, it is supposed in relation to some 11 money transactions, and a deadly breach p occurred between them. She sued for a di- p< vorce on the only ground that could entitle C her to one in New York?that of infidelity; ? 1 black woman was brought forward, who swore to having witnessed the crime, and a Jivorce was granted. Hence the present c< iction. There have been events and oc- ^ tjurrencos in the life of Aaron Purr which j would out-roinance e'en fiction itself?he } e< has been a splendid, a fascinating, and a I al rmwerfiil in an and hnd bis nrineinles boon ^ pure as his talents were great, lie would ^ have been an ornament to his country. i ci , v [From the Detroit Advertiser, Sent.

Teas.?The following information resecting the manufacture of Tea in China .nd the mode of preparing it for the table, s extracted from a letter from an American nercbant at Canton, to a friend in Newfork, accompanying a present of two small oxes of black Tea. All Green Teas are cured with Prussian ilue, to give them a goo-J color, and are ence therefore considered by the Chinese s partially poisoned. No class of Ciiiese use any description of green tea, cxept to sell, neither do any foreigners who ave resided any length of time in the coun y.?The best and highest priced green j?s. however, are tinsred with but verv little Vussicin l>luo, whilst the cheaper kinds are luch alloyed with this ingredient. I can onlirm this, from having witnessed the lanufacture of teas for the last three years ) this empire. Black teas of even* grade re perfecrfully free from alloy, and are conidered by the Chinese as very wholesome, ^he "\V oolong Pouchong," which I have nt you, is considered the highest quality f black tea ever manufactured, and the mall box of"Pekoo" is nearly equal to it. I small quantity of the latter should be lixed with the former when used, and steeped with very hot water in an air tight teaot. This is the universal custom of the hinese, aud is considered absolutely noessary to make a good cup of tea.

Xational Intelligencer. A correspondent of the Newburyport Icrald furnishes us the following interesting atistics of the sales of public lands for the ist twenty years. They come from ofiiial sources, and mav be relied on as cor,*ct. The sales in 1816, $2,567,273. 818, 85,022,409. 1817, 7,299,997. 819,817,681,794. 1820, (first two quarirs) 827.663,964. The price was up to lis time $2 per aero, and the government ave the purchasers a credit. After the 1st ['July, 1829, the price was reduced to 81 5 and cash payments required, and the lies fell off as follows : In 1820, (last two uariers) 8424,9621821,81,169,224.1822, 1,022,267. 1823, 8850,136. 1825, 853,. 99. ITom 1824 to 1830, the sales were ctween one and two millions each year. about sufficient to supply the actual demani occasioned by the increase id'population. I the last named year the symptoms of th present fever manifested themselves, an the sales rose about two millions, gradual] increasing for the next two years. Th sales being in 1835, 83,115,37b. 1832 , 84,972,284.1834,80,099,982.1835.815 810,795. 1836, (last two quarters) 13,500 i 000. Emigration.?It appears from a retur L which has been just prepared, that from th , 1st of January last to the 5th of July, 54,00 persons have emigrated from Liverpoo 7518 in the last three months of that periot ; and 16,547 in the last three months. C the latter number, 3825 proceeded to the Bri ) ish Colonies in North America; 12,412 t . the United States; 18 <o the Cape of Goo j Hope; 37 to Calcutta; 74 to Australia; 12 i to the West Indies; 8 to Bombay; and 4 to South America.

New-York, Oct. 1. LATEST FROM FRANCE. By the packet ship Erie, Capt. Funk, froi ' Havre, we have our files of Paris papers to th 24th of August, inclusive, but they add ver little to our previous intelligence from the con . tincnt. i The advices from Spain are of a painfull 1 * - ?rrbn rrvnofitntmn t i interesting cuurciiii'i. v/uiiouwuviuu \ 1912 ha9 indeed been proclaimed, but it proclamation seems to be every where atten , ded with violence, tumult anarchy and blood ' shed. The Queen acts under the influenc ( of terror, and all against whom the soldier ! and excited people bear animosity, arc oblige to fly for their lives. The members of the lat cabinet have sll sought safety in a precipitat , departure, or in close concealment. Generz Quesada, the commandant of Madrid, ha been assassinated by some of the Nations Guards. The quarrel between France and Switzei ' land, or rather the canton of Basle, seems t i be growing serious. The cholera was still making progress i: Austria, Hungury, and Bohemia, but its rava ; ges are much less dreadful than in 1831. I Lombard}* it seems to have subsided. The French King had gone to Verseilles ' where his Ministers had daily interviews wit him. ' The following intelligence from Madrid < ' August 16th, supplies us with details whic show that the capital was far from being in th tranquil state which the telegraph represente it. "Our communications with La Granja ar so slow in coming, and so wrapped up in mys tery, that this capital, terrified by the numei ous excesses which have been committed witli in the last two days, is almost led to believ that, at this moment, there is no longer in Spai any royal authority. "The domineering sway is that of terrorisn 1 supported by military insurrection. We ar certain, at any rate, that the Queen, terrific by the cries of death issued from a soldiery in flamed by the most brutal drunkenness, ha been obliged, for the present, virtually to abdi j cate her sovereign power. Some soldiers, tli i blind instruments of secret societies, have tor | with their swords the constitutional, or, rathci ' the social compactI 'The 1 Constitution of 1812, just consente to by a roval decree, extorted from rather tha: consented to, by our sovereign, is to be to da the object of a kind of worship. An oatli t this Constitution is to be taken; and to-mor row the Q,ueen, brought from La Granja by th | troops who domineer over her, will enter he J capita], where a hideous system of terrorism i about to be established. Already persons be longing to the Isturitz ministry, or known b the moderation of their opinions, have been ob liged,to escape outrageous, or perhaps th knives of hired assassins, either to quit Madrii or to conceal themselves. There Is no longer safety for peaceable citi zens. Quesada was murdered yesterday tw leagues off from the capital, by National Guard who have thus cruelly taken vengeance fo his severe order of the day. lie was coward ly shot by assassins in the uniform of the Urla] militia, and Isturitz and his coleagues v.-oul have shared the same fate, if some of thei friends had not provided them with a suitabli r jtreat. All the other State functionaries be longing to the former Government have lef Madrid, and it is feared that they will not fini successors; for what Ministry would ventur< in the midst of this popular effervesence, thi sanguinary reaction, totake charge of the pub lie safety 1 texas. From tho correspondence X. Y. Cour. Si Enf] Galveston, Island, Sept. 3d, 1836. It will be gratifying to you, I am well satis find, t o learn that all schisms between the Ar my, the people and the Cabinet, have been al laved.?all have become of one way of think ing, and nothing but harmony and goo< feeling exists. We hear no hostile fo< approaching us, and that the Mexiean Ar my has dwindled down to 2000 men, stil at Matamonas, decreasing daily by deser tions; that much discord and disunion pre vails, and all that have ever been in Texai among them, never wish to visit it again. Oil Commissioners, Teal and Cairns, who wen there to effect an exchange of prisoners, &c &c., are still retained; and the last account! received from them, stated they were in c/os, confinement! So much for Mexican treachery We have nothing to expect from this great anc jnagnanimous nation but treachery and butch erv; and the sooner we end the war at theii own gates', the better it will he for Texas. An attempt was lately made to aid Sant< Anna to escape, by a Spaniard, who goes bi the name of liotholoniew Pages, a native o Catalonia, who is now in irons and will b( hung soon, I expect. The particulars you wil find in the accompanying extract from oui newspaper. Santr Anna and Almonte are now in ironi and will be kept so until congress disposes o them. Santa Anna's Private Secretary gav< information that led to the discovery of the conspiracy. Yours, &c. TEXAS. The following private letter from the camf of the Texian army was politely handed us b) the curator of the Merchants' Exchange : I.e Grand the principal chief of the Cuman, die Indians, is now i:i the camp of the Texian army: 44 He is authorized by the nation fc [] ! offer the services of their warriors, who are ? (1 well armed and equipped to the Texian gov- . c ! ernment, in case of a second invasion from ' j ! the Mexicans. Their services had not been \! accepted. y Le Grand is about 47 years of age, is a half . e ! breed: his father was aPinchman, his raothh er a Cumache woman; he is a very intelligent man; was educated in New-York and t left that city in the year 1816, and ha9 been i the principal chief of the nation for 15 years. ^ lie is the deadly enemy and dread of the Mexin cans. It is the opinion at Columbia that Cap- 1 > tain Huges of the Passaic would be libera- ! I ted* '? Santa Anna and Alimonte are in double ' Irons, at Doctor Phelp's plantation, guarded )f by 110 men.

Sept. 25. 1 L* "I believe the war may now be considered f s at an end. All the emigrants are on their i ^ way, except the Creek Volunteers. Upwards i of 14,000 have lately gone, which with what were sent before, make about 19,000. Be- ^ 0 tween 7 and 800 warriors have gone to Florida, leaving their families here, \vnich increases < 11 the sum to 22,000. About 100 warriors have ( " been killed by the Georgians, which will n nearly account, they say, for the nation. ? . Lane has been selected to command a regi- 4 r ment of Creek VolunJeers raised by Gen. Jes- c sup, under the 10,000 act, by authority of the i President. He has used a great deal of ener>f gy, and much talent. Jim Boy and Paddy h Carr, and other influential chiefe accompany F e him. He is Colonel you know. He went! p U I flOWn Uie HWl last. ?? euiicouajr ?? mi ixjo *\ uuic c command, organized at Dog Island, at the ( e mouth of the Appala?and will be placed bv ' 5- Steamboats from thence either at the mouth i of the Withlacoochee or Suwanee. The e i- j Tennessee Volunteers (1500 mounted) went i e into Florida some time since, as you know; n n have passed through Tallahassee, and were expected to attack the enemy at Newnansville r i, yesterday. r e But the great hope of closing soon that t d campaign, I believe, is founded on the expec- v i- tation that they will be able through several s chiefs who have been selected with great care i- and pains for that purpose; who are to come mence immediately alter their arrival a nego-j' n tiation with Jumper, and others, to effect an | 2 , arrangement with the enemy, and by a diplo- j t! malic arrangement to get the terms, which it i o d i seems so difficult to force them into with their j 0 n muskets. i, y General Jesup made last week a most rapid I o i flight to Tallahassee and back, having had a jv I a IK.

This we will effect in ten days. It is p y now determined to keep here five companies, i' i- and I have no doubt they will be of the 4th e | Regt. Artillery. The 3d and 1st will probad bly be off as soon as the boats return from ta- ^ king the Indians down. Five companies of - Alabama troops were to have been here to o watch any stragglers that might remain in the s swamps, &c. and the Marines were to march i r home. But they (the Volunteers J have not j - appeared. I believe the General has ordered i a them (the Marines) however to go with the j d exception of two companies under Col. Free- i r man.

From the Jacksonville Courier, Sept. 28, 1 More Indian depredations.?The mail car- 1 s rier from Tallahassee, who arrived last Satur- 1 day evening, states that on Friday last, he met 1 a man nearly naked, and almost dead with ex- 1 haustion near Onean Pond, between Alliga- 1 tnr anrl Snu-aiipp This man. namnH Tfuntor. i ( said that on Wednesday morning of last week 1 about fifty Indians attacked a house near 1 Orange Pond, occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Uptej grove, and himself, all advanced in age. Mr. w I Uptegrove was killed. Mrs. Uptegrove fled v | from the house through a back door. Mr. i Hunter says he saw four or five Indians running close "after her, having shot at her with- j out stopping her flight. She was undoubtedly taken and killed by her pursuers. P Mr. Hunter managed to escape the pond, tl 3 and got into it as far as he could. The Indir an surrounded the pond, and remained on t guard for him till near daylight the next morning, when they left, doubtless supposing their 3 intended victim was drowned. Near 24 hours ci e did Mr. Hunter remain in the water with no ft part but his face out, so that he could breathe. 0, \ In this way he eluded their vigilence, and after the departure of the Indians, he left the ? r pond and endeavored to make his way to the n nearest post when he was found by the mail n l rider. He had been without food from Wed- c, j nesday morning till Friday. ^ f St. Augustine, Sept. 22.?The communica- m ; tion between Garey's Ferry and Picolata is in1 terrupted.

We assure our subscribers that ;he fault is not ours. The papers are carefully )ut up and regularly mailed. Complaints of ;his kind are common in all parts of the U. States, and have been from the time when fudge McLean was driven from the Poet office Department; and we have no doubt will ;ontinue as long as Kendall, Van Buren and company, are entrusted by the people with the reins of Government. It is said that the Post Master General, in answer to the daily complaints poured in upon him of irregularity in the transmission of papers by mail, is in thehabit of replying that it i3 for the letter mailshe is anxious and not for those carrying" newspapers. Unfaithful public servants are not ipt to be anxious for the circulation of news papvxo. The minority of the Maryland electors of State Senators, who refused to attend the meeting prescribed by the Constitution have bad the hardihood to publish an address tothe people in which they avow their object to bavc been a revolution of the government, rhey consider the did government nomatbolshed and modestly recommend to the people to choose delegates to assemble for the purx)se of re-enactiiig the present, or rather fornerlaws and conferring upon the present State jfficers the power of holding on till some other Drovision shall be made for the government of the State. The outrageous conduct of the Van Buren Sectors of Maryland seems to be effecting a change in public sentiment in that State arainstu the party." An election for delegates othe Assembly took place throughout the State on the 6th. We have seen accounts rom only Baltimore and Annapolis. In the ormer the V. B. majority was only 209. fVhereas at the late election ft* electors of he Senate it was 1,661. In Annapolis the V. B. ticket succeeded before by a majority >f 19. Now the Whig ticket by a majority >f 18. Memoirs of Lucien Bonaparte, Prince of Canino, icritlen by himself have been publish d in N. York by Saunders and Oatly, airanch of an English house. The Harpers ilso advertize the work. Of this the English lublishers complain and some of our cotem>oraries sustain them in their complaint, beause they have exclusive authority from - * he author to publish the work in this country. Jut what right lias any foreigner or any one lse to exclude a citizen from publishing what ( he laws Drotect him in Dtiblifihinrr t We d? ot now speak of tlie policy of refusing <sopy ights to foreigners. Congress, to whom the natter is entrusted has seen fit to do so, and hat is sufficient. We ourselves see nothing rrong in this act of the Harpers. We have in a very few instances ha 1 comilaints made of our44 high prices" for idvctiing. The rise in the prices of almosi. every liing else has raised printer's wages, ti e cost f printing materials, and the whole expense f newspaper publication, it has tlerefbre een found necessary to raise the price of adertizing in many places. The following tale from a Western paper will show the harges for advertizing in that region of country here living is much cheaper than in ;he seaoard States, and in a town too whore there s a great deal of advertizing done.
