THURSDAY, JUNE 30, 1825. Boring for Hrufer.—‘This important and deeply interesting experiment has been pro secuted in this place with much zeal and con fidence; and though under circumstances pe culiarly embarrassing, the. progress has been very considerable, for the time consumed^ and the whole operation conducted, we think, with great ability. We regret, however, to be under the necessity of stating, that the work is necessarily suspended until Mr. Dis* brow can have prepared for the purpose, an entire set of cast iron tubes, those of wood and sheet iron, heretofore used, proving inef fectual, in consequence of the unusual extent to which the tubing is Tcqnired, and the diifi . cuhv presented bv wood to the extracting of the remaining piece of rod, and to the free passage of the various instruments used in the process. In ever}- other boring made by Mr. D. he has reached the solid rock in less than thirty feet, and for that short distance wooden tubes have been found to answer ever}- pur pose; but here he has penetrated 240 feet, ex clusively through clay and sand, and much of it more difficult to manage than the hardest rock. We learn that the labor will be resum ed as speedily as possible, and we sincerely hope, to the credit and profit of all parties. Mr. D. avails himself of this temporary sus pension of his labors, to visit New-\ ork, where a similar experiment is under way; and there, or somewhere on his route, he will or der suitable tubes to liis purpose here. The alarm of “Fire” was sounded in our streets between the hours of ten and eleven on Tuesday nig!it, and was soon discovered to be in the back building of a house on King street, occupied by Messrs. D. St K. Kvans as a chair manufactory. By the spirited and ad venturous exertions of a few active citizens who reached the spot in good season, the flames were arrested before much damage had been done. We believe there are no people in all the country more careful about fire, or more liberally rewarded for their care, than the citizens of Alexandria, but against the base incendiary, who seeks the destruc tion of our lives and property while we are unsuspecting or asleep, thtre is no guarding. We examined the premises the morning after the occurrence, and are fully convinced that the hand of some desperate or malicious vil lain kindled the fire—Several attempts were made, only one of which succeeded. It will be seen by a proclamation from the Mayor, that Fifty Dollars reward is offered for the ap prehension of the monster—Let every suspi cious character lurking about the town (and they are not a few) he strictly examined, and we doubt not that some guilty conscience will betray its wicked possessor. The order of procession, as determined on by the Committee of Arrangements for the ap proaching celebration, will be found in this paper. We think it judicious, and hope it will meet the approbation of all who can, with con venience, unite in the laudable effort of per petuating the hirth day of rational liberty. A notice calling the attention ofthe citizens to a subscription paper for a Public Dinner at Clagett’s, is published in this day’s Gazette. The following very singular phenomenon ia recorded in the New-Orleans Mercantile Advertiser of the 7th instant:—“On the eve ning of the 1st, the scrf'mels and some of the garrison of fort St. Philip, were alafmed by a sudden commotion iu that part of the Missis sippi called the Plaquemine bend. For about 250 yards above, and 3 or 400 below the forti fications on the left, the river appeared sud denly agitated, the water rose near 7 feet; im mense trees that had been embedded in the sand, with, others still afloat, were borne up at once and thrown inside of the levee. The whole left shore was inundated, and when the water subsided, presented many fish that had been abandoned in the recession. The phe nomenon was principally confined to the curve opposite the old fort. Through a friend whp Las conversed with an intelligent gentleman just from Richmond, we have acquired a somewhat dearer view of the late swindling transactions by a compa ny of scarpers at that place. It appears that these worthy gentlemen have been manufac turing negotiable notes, drafts, &c. and pur chasing with them any and every thing that could be converted into money. Brown, for instance, drew on Henning at short dates; Henning accepted, and Ilendree went to the North with these drafts, bought large amounts of goods, and immediately turned them into cash. Similar transactions were made in Richmond, though on a smaller scale; still however, to a large amount in the aggregate. As soon as suspicion was excited, Allen’s Agent anil others on whom they had impos ©d, arrested Hemlree and kept him in jail three or four days, at the end of which time, some compromise ensued, by which he was liberated and allowed to abscond. Their in tention to defraud seems to admit of no doubt; notwithstanding which, we fear it will be dif ficult to punish them. They have evidently swindled the people by buying their goods with an intention of never paying for them; but it may be difficult to prove this—no case of forgery is mentioned. The following Order of Procession will be observed on Monday the 4th of July:—* The Procession to form in Royal-street, in front of the Market House, and move precise ly at 11 o’clock up Cameron street to Wash ington street, down Washington street to King street, down King street to Pitt street, thence to St. Paul’s Church, in the following order: MILITARY ESCORT. Surviving Officers and Soldiers of the Revolu tionary War. [Flanked by Alembert of the Committee of At-. rangements with Blue Scarfs.] Reverend Clergy. The Orator of the Day. Masonic Societies, viz;— Washington Lodge, No. 22. Brooke Lodge, No 2. Evangelical Lodge. Two Members of the Committee of Arrange s meats. The Judges of the Circuit Court of the U. S. The Mayor and President of the Common Council. The Members of the Common Council. Two Members qf the Committee of Arrange meats. The Washington Society. The Mechanic Relief Society. St. Andrew’s Society. Hibernian Society. Officers of the Army and Navy of the United States. Officers of Militia. Citizens and Strangers. Tiro Members of the Committee of Arrange ments. The same order will be observed in return ing. From the Leesburg Genius of Liberty. Gen. John £. Hunter,Col. Wm. E!l zey, and Richard H. Henderson, Esq. have been appointed by the Governor, with the advice cf Council, Commis sioners on behalf of the state of Virgi nia^for opening books for the subscrip tion of stock to the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal. The Commissioners now are, with the above:— For Maryland—Governor Spring; Col. Frisby Tilghman, of Washington county; aud Philip E. '1 homas, Esq. of Baltimore. For the District of Columbia—Samuel H. Smith, Anthony C. Cazenove, and Clement Smith, Esqrs. They will probably defer their meet ing till the return of Gen. Bernard from New-Orleans, and the completion of the estimates of the probable cost ot the eastern section of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal. The appointment of the commission ers, however, completes the legal re quisites to the establishment of the Chesapeake and Ohio Cana! Company. Still the consent of Pennsylvania, (of which there can exist no rational doubt) is required to extend the canal beyond the Maryland line to Pittsburg; and the subscription of the stock required to begin and finish this great national work remains to be procured, either of individuals at home and abroad, of cor porations, of the states andgeneral gov ernment, or, as is most probable, of all conjointly. It is believed that the Dis trict cities, will, if necessary, take from half a million to one million of dollars. The state of Virginia has the means in her possession, without increasing the public taxes, of subscribing a like amount, and still more effectually aid ing the central and southern canals of the commonwealth. Maryland can find no difficulty in supplying half a million, w hen the eyes of her intelligent population, (and especially of her great commercial metropolis, Baltimore,) shall be opened to the importance of this work, not to the union only, of which it will prove the strongest ce ment, but to the commerce of the Che sapeake and its waters. And the Con gress of the United States, as the legis lature of the District of Columbia, j could they forget their obligations to I the American people, would find in the I augmented price of the lands which | they offer for sale beyond the Allegha ny, and the enhanced value of the seve ral thousand unimproved lots which they hold in the City of Washington, considerations of sound economy more than sufficient to warrant the supply of whatever sums may remain to be sub scribed, for »he completion of the no blest, and incomparably the most im portant, internal improvement of the present age. We have b£en favored by the Chair man of the Central Committee, with the use of the letter o! the Governor of Virginia, covering the Virginia com mission, which we subjoin as a testi mony of the prompt and considerate attention of the executive to the inter ests of this great enterprize. nic/imona, 15th June, 1825. Dear Sib,—Having received, through your attention, the documents necessary to enable the executive to appoint commissioners for o pening books for receiving subscriptions to the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, that duty was performed yesterday, hv the appointment of John C. Hunter, of Fairfax, and William Ellzey and Richard. H. Henderson, of Loudoun. Knowing the interest you take in this subject, I have taken the liberty of enclosing the com missions to you, thinking it probable they will be received as soon, or sooner, by the gentle men appointed) or at any rate a concert of o Sinion may be produced which will facilitate le opening of the books. 1 shall direct my letter to Washington, with a request to the post master to forward it to your post office, if you should not be in the City. The com missions you will observe, are special, refer ring to the 1st and S2d sections of our act of Assembly. With great respect, your friend and servant, JAMES PLEASANTS. Col. Cbabus Fixtojc Mercs*, Washington. LAMBERT'S MURDERERS. ^ We copy from Noah’s Advocate the follow ing account of the trial of Lambert’s Murder1 ers. • It contains some good moral reflections which well deserve to be read. New-Yorkj June 25.—The jury in the case ojT the boys implicated iti the mur der of Mr. Lambert have brought in a verdict of manslaughter. This was expected; at least there was no reason to believe from the nature of the testi mony, that they could be convicted ol murder; as it is, the punishment is heavy; it is confinement for a term ol years in the state prison. This case is calculated to produce a serious impression upon the minds ol parents, guardians, masters and boys. Here are seven lads, apprentices to tne chanicahtrades, carousing, drinking, and fighting, at one o’clock in the morning; disturbing the public peace; assailing peaceable travellers, and fi nally causing the death of a worthy ci tizen. These things were not so in former times, and from the frequency of these broils, it becomes necessary to inquire into the causes, and produce a radical reform by other measures. We go at once to the root oi the evil, and it will be traced to the early neg lect of parents, guardians and masters; they are to blame for the evil results of their neglect, because if they take a pro per interest in the concerns of the youth intrusted to their care, and interpose their authority in time, their riots and the unhappy consequences would be unknown. -A boy should not be per mitted to be absent from his father’s or masters house, aftor 10 o’clock in the evening, without being compelled to give a fair account of himself; this and other faults should be looked into, ex plained and punished; they should be kept close at work during working hours, and in hours of recreation they should be able to give an account of themselves. A little trouble, a little exertion, a little interest felt for a boy while young, would be of great and im portant advantage to him as he grew up. Make him retire early; rise early; eat sparingly; drink nothing but water; watch his temper; correct him prompt ly and spiritedly; see thaf his education and morals are not neglected;make him work, for that is the antidote for vice, compel him to beci\il, tractable Sc obe dient give no saucy answers; use no in sulting language; assume no ridiculous airs of independence; encourage him in nothing, that may make him hateful and disliked; in short, let parents and guardians do their duty, and we shall not have the melancholy example of seven lads at hard labor in the state prison; their morals, their characters and their propccts destroyed forever. While guardians and parents are doing their duty to their change,let the public authorities co-operate with them. Look at the thousands of licensed grog-shops which disgrace our city ; look at the bankruptcy, ruin, suicides, untimely deaths, miserable wives, and orphan children, produced by rum!— On this trial i* appeared under oath, that these boys got into this disastrous scrape, because they had each drank 3 glasses at it tippling house in the neigh borhood of the affray; three of brandy, three of gin, and two of beer; the com pound alone being sufficient to infuri ate, intoxicate and madden them.— What have we to think of the man, who, after midnight, could sell to boys 56 glasses of liquor? Is such a charac ter worthy of a license? It is true, that in a populous city, there must be ta verns and houses for public accommo dation; but are we bound to give every man who will not work license to sell liquor? Are we to legalize vice? Drun kenness is ihe curse of our country; the facility of procuring liquor and the cheapness of the article are hurrying thousands to ruin. Something must be done to abridge this ruinous, this all destructive vice. In the case of th°se lads, had the jury brought in a verdict of murder, they must have terminated their career on a scaffold; cut off at their tender years, and all their hopes, and the hopes of their families; as it is, their penance will be long and se vere; and in what did it originate? In being from home at an unseasonable hour; in drinking glass after glass of liquor, indulging in a quarrelsome dis position, which led them into dispute; then into fights, and finally into the commission of murder. Let this case be a warning to pa rents, guardians, masters and boys.— Let those in authority exercise their authority; let each offence be noticed and corrected promptly; let admonition and example go haud in hand; see that your boys and apprentices are home, before you retire to bed, see that no li quor or ardent spirits are introduced into your shop; arraign, punish, and if necessary dismiss any apprentice found drunk, and let no other master take a boy thus dismissed. Let master mechanics have an understanding on this subject; let the Mechanics’ Socie ty and Mechanics’ Institution take measures on the subject; let something be done to mend the manners ^nd mo rals of apprentices, by united coercive measures, and good results will be pro duced. Let boys understand and be made to know, that fighting in the streets is the province of blackguards, and black guards must be driven from society; let them have a pride above such gro velling practices: and, above all, let them unite, and shut), a9 companions, any who may be found in liquor, and in time a reform so much desired may be produced. . . PERU. Baltimore, June 28.—The Peruvian papers received at the office of the A merican, contain a decree of Bolivar, as Dictator of the Peruvian Republic, which affords another gratifying evi dence of his wisdom and foresight.— This decree after acknowledging that the Lancasterian system of education is the most speedy and effectual for the promotion of public instruction, pro vides that there shall be established in the capital of each department, a nor mal school on the Lancasterian system, for the support of which the necessary funds shall be provided. Each province shall send to the departmental school at least six children, in order that they may hereafter extend the system to every part of the republic. One of the first acts of the Constitu tional Congress of Peru was the pas sage of a resolution giving to Bolivar »he title of “Father and Saviour of Pe On the 12th of February the Congress passed a law ordering that a inedal be struck in honor of the Liberator, hav ing on one side his bust with a motto, “ To Hi- Liberator Simon Bolivar"—and on the reverse the arms of the re public, with the following motto:— “Pent restored at Jlyacucho, 1824.” In the capital an equestrian statue of the Liberator is to be erected; and in the capital towns of the departments, large stones are to be erected in the public places with inscriptions. The Liberator is to enjoy perpetually the title of “President jf the republic.” Two millions, over and above their pay, arc voted to the army. General Antonio Jose Sucre is to enjoy the title of “Grand Marshal of Jlyacucho." All the army are declared to enjoy the same privileges as native Peruvians. The Liberator is authorised to grant any other rewards, either of honor or profit, to those who have rendered, or may render any services to Peru. Colonel Frederick Brandsen, for having resisted the ex-President, Riva Aguero, in his unlawful intentions a gainst the national representation, and lor having returned from Chili, contra ry to his promise, was condemned on the 4th February, by a council of war, to be shot; but, in consequence of his past services, General Bolivar com muted his punishment to degradation and deprivation of ever holding any of fice of trust or profit under the govern ment. On the 16th of Feb. a part of the garrison of Callao made a sortie under Colonels Alair and Aznar. They were met by a division commanded by Gen eral Salom, and after a warm contest were driven back, with the loss of a bout 200 killed, 19 prisoners, and a great number of wounded, leaving on the ground a number of horses and arms. The patriots had 26 killed, 23 wounded, and 11 missing—among the latter the commander of dragoons, Don Juan Pederneva, and captain Don An tonio Rodriguez, both severely, and captain Gregg of Colombia, slightly wounded. The following is the reply of Gene ral Bolivar to the testimonials of grati tude voted to him by the Congress of Peru:— Lima, \'2th Feb. 1823. To His Excellency the President of the Sove reign Constitutional Congress of Peru. Most Excellent Sir—The munifi cence of the Sovereign Congress has surpassed itself as regards the Libe rating army w hich fought on the plains of Ayacucho. The General in Chief, Grand Marshal, lias received a reward worthy of the Scipios, and of a great people. The other chiefs, officers and Troops are treated with the most noble generosity. The Congress has rivalled in magnanimity the Liberators of the country ; they have shown themselves worthy of representing a mighty peo ple. But excellent Sir, was not the Congress satisfied with all the confi dence placed in me ? of all the glory conferred on me by placing the desti nies of the country in my hands ? why do they wish to perplex and humiliate me by excessive gifts ? and with a re ward which I ought not to accept1. If I receive the favors which Congress has already bestowed on me, my ser vices to Peru will be more than com pensated by the liberality of Congress: So that my most ardent desire is that Peru may continue to owe me what little I may have done. It is not my intention to slight the kindness of Con gress for me. I never would accept from my own country any recompense of this kind. Therefore, it would be inconsistent in me if I were now to re ceive from Peru what I have refused from my own country. It is enough for me, most Excellent Sir, to have ac quired the esteem and received the thanks of the Congress of Peru. The medal which has been ordered to be struck with my bust, is so much above my services, that it alone exceeds my utmost desires. I accept this reward from Congress with an effusion of gra titude that I cannot express. Be so obliging Most Excellent Sir, to present to Congress, in the name of the army, and in mine, the most expressive testi monies of our profound gratitude. I have the honor of presenting to your Excellency the expressions of my con sideration and respect. BOLIV'AR. The Constitutional Congress of Peru, recognizing the high and important services which the Republic of Colom bia has rendered to Peru, without which, no doubt, she would have fal len under the Spanish power—Has re solved: 1. That the thanks be given to the Republic of Colombia as a testimonial of gratitude for the services rendered by her to her ally and confederate the Republic 'of Peru. 2. That these sentiments be trans mitted to the Colombian government by the organ of the commission sent by the Peruvian Congress to that state. Ordered that the same be printed, published and circulated. Done in the Hall of Congress, in Lima, 10th Feb. 1825. Jose Maria Galdiakd, Presi dent—Joaquin Arrese, Secretary— M. Ferrkyhos, Secretary. From the National Journal. Extract of a letter from a gentleman to his friend in this city, dated Chorillos, Feb. 20. “ I am told they are busy on board the frigate United States, preparing to receive Gen. Bolivar, who is to honor the officers and crew with a visit on the 22d. 1 suppose you have received accounts of the whole of the coast hav ing been given up to the Patriots, with the exception of Callao, commanded by General Rodill, who still continues to hold out. Bolivar has declared him an outlaw, and intends hanging him and all his band, as soon as the Castles are taken, which, I have no doubt, will be in a short time, as he has commen ced cutting off their supply of water; and as the Rimac is their only source, if he succeeds in turning its course, they will'certainly perish, though they have plenty of provisions. The Vice roy, La Serna, left the coast directly after giving it up, with all the Span ish armed vessels, (the Asia being one) according to the agreement wi»h Boli var: but Rodil having possession of the castles, refused to give them up, while they had any thing to eat. No vessels are allowed to lay at Callao, it being block aded by several of the Chilian Sc Colom bian men of war, who go under the batteries almost every night, and do them considerable injury. Bolivar, with all his army, is at Lima, which is nine miles from Callao.” SPAIN AND IIER ALLIES. The Madrid Official Gazette of the 21 st April, contains a long declara tion of the King of Spain, of which we have translated the following pas sage: [National Gazette “I have learnt, with the most lively sorrow, that, for some time past, alarm ing reports have been circulated in sidiously, tending to produce the be lief that I am counselled, and indeed am to be obliged to make innovations in the present system of government, by altering the ancient laws of the State, and setting limits to my Royal authority. To dissipate entirely such suppositions, is, for me, a duty and a gratification. “In consequence, I declare that not only am I resolved to maintain entire and in all their plenitude the rights of my sovereignly, without yielding at any time the smallest part of it, nor permitting the establishment of Legis lative chambers or other institutions under whatever name contrary to our laws and repugnant to our habits; but even that I have the most positive as surance that all my august allies will continue to sustain the authority of my crown, without advising or propo sing, directly or indirectly, any innova tion in the forms of my government!” The Consul General of Colombia, Col. L. Palacio, cautions the public a gainst a person of the name of Ricardo Bermudez, who styles himself, “ a Co lonel in the Colombian service, late aid-dc-camp to the Liberator, and bro ther of the distinguished General of that name,” the said Bermudez being an impostor aud swindler. He has practised his arts in New-York and Baltimore, and as appears by the Nor folk papers, has arrived in that city, with a view, no doubt, of continuing his plans of fraud and imposition. THF MGER—“TERMINATION—THE SEA.” The Dumfries Courier of last Tues day, contains and conveys this satisfac tory, this pleasing, but to us certainly not unexpected intelligence. Lieut. Clapperton of the R. N. a native of An nan, one, and we believe the only sur vivor of the four individuals sent to explore Central Africa, has reached Mourzook, the capital of Fezzan, on his return from the interior. In a has ty letter written to his relatives, and dated in the town mentioned on the 25th December last, he states the im portant facts,'namely, that the Niger is not evaporated in burning sands or in low swamps; that it docs uot flow into and is lost in an interior lake; but that it pursues its course to, and ter minates in the sea. Glasgow Courier, JUpril 21. SUDDEN DEATH. Richmond, June 27.—Mr. E. Chese brough, for many years a respectable resident of this city, was found dead in one of the gprrets of the Eagle Hotel of this city, on Saturday morning. He had just dissolved his connection with his partner in a store, had nearly wound up his affairs, and proposed to set out for the North in a few days. He was of a plethoric habit of body, full face, and short neck; and had complained ex cessively of the great heat, which had annoyed us for several days of the week. On Saturday morning he was missing; and on searching the garrets of the Eagle, at which Hotel he was lodging, he was found dead, his face almost li vid, and every appearance of his having been suddenly taken by an apoplectic fit. There were no marks of violence on his person; nor of robbery of his purse. The Coroner’s Jury returned a verdict accordingly.
