Treaty with Naples.—The Salem Commer
cial Advertiser contains a copy of the Treaty be
tween this country and the Neapolitan govern
ment which is entitled “A c«w»vention between
the Government of the United States of Ameri*
ca, and his Majesty the King of the Kingdom of
the Two Sicilies, to terminate the reclamations
of said Government for the depredations inflic
ted upon American commerce by Murat, during
the years 1809, 1810, 1811, and 1812.”
Exclusive of the preamble, the entire treaty
is comprised, with commendable brevity, In the
following articles.
Article I. His Majesty the King of the
Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, with a view to j
satisfy the aforesaid reclamations for the depre
dations, sequestrations, confiscations, and .des
truction of the vessels and cargoes of the mer
chants of the United States, (and every expense
of every kind whatsoever, incident to, or grow
ingout of the same) inflicted by Murat dur
ing the years 1809, 1810, 1811, and 1812,
obliges himself to pav the sum of two millions
oue"'hundred and fifteen thousand Neapolitan
ducats to the Government of the United States;
seven thousand six hundred and seventy-nine
ducats, part thereof, tube applied to reimburse
the said Government for the expense incurred
by it in the transportation of American seamen
from the Kingdom of Naples during the year
1SI0, and the residue to be distributed amongst
the claimants bv the said uoverumeni or me
United States in such manner, and according to
such rules, as it may prescribe.
Article II. The sum of two millions one
hundred and fifteen thousand Neapolitan durats,
agreed on in Article the first, shall be paid in
Naples, in nine equal instalments of two hun
dred and thirty-five thousand ducats, and with
interest thereon at the rate of four per eentum
per annum, to be calculated from the date of the
interchange of the ratifications of this conven
tion, until the whole sum shall be paid. The
first instalment shall be payable twelve months
after the exchange of the said ratifications, and
the remaining instalments, with the interest
successively, one year after another. The said
payments shall be made in Naples into the hands
of’such person as shall be duly authorised by
the Government of the United States to receive
the same.
Executive Axes.—An elegant hickory box,
containing one dozen axes, from the foundry of
Alexander Harrison, New-Haven, was shown to
us yesterday. They were made by a duz.e» dif
ferent workmen, on the occasion of the Presi
dent's recent visit to the Academic groves of that
city, and presented to him as specimens of an
iron age. We thiuk they are samples of excel
lent workmanship: and now that the President
bv virtu- of a certificate from Doctor Quincy ol
Harvard, has become one of the Literati, fie will
probubly use them in “ chopping logic.'*

Locutts—Nullification —We are informed by
a gentleman just arrived from Arkansas, that
about the middle of May the locusts appeared in
that country in immense numbers. They evi
dently came up from the earth in the form of a
Kino UK gruof enciuscu m a »uv««e
would attach itself, at evening, to the bark of a
tree, and in the morning the locust would be
fouud perched on this shell, having burst through
its case during the night. At this time, its
wings were imperfectly developed, but after two
or three hour*, when they had obtained their full
size, the locust flew away, leaving the ahell at
tached to the tree. The number of the animals
was so prodigious, that their noise in the woods
was incessant and almost deafening. Ao extra
ordinary circumstance was, that every one of
these myriads had an N distinctly marked on
each wing. The people of the country interpre
ted this to mean nullification. Alter making a
great noise, for six weeks, the locusts have entire
ly disappeared and buried themselves in the earth,
_not to appear again fora long period. Such
we hope is the case with the cause which the wri
ting on the wing is imagined by the good people
ol Arkansas to typify, with the exception that
it will never make its appearance again.

Loss of a Steam Boat.—The steam boat
Bonnets of Blue, Vapt. Davis, sailed from Sa
vannah 15th ult. bound to Mobile. On the 24th,
when about 40 miles S. E. from St. Augustine,
it commenced blowings gale from N. N E. Uu
rio* winch the boat broached to, and would not
ateer. Soon after the boat was found to be leak
ing badly, and the pumps became choked, and
the water gaining fast, the square sail was taken
in, and both anchors let go in 15 fathoms water
and all hands employed in bailing. —Finding it
impossible to keep her free, slipt the chain, cut
the hawser, and set the square*sail for the pur
pose of driving her on shore—at the same time
commenced lightening her by throwing the wood
Oierboard. At half past 4, A. M. finding she
was sinking, ordered the boat to be got ready
when Captaim Davis, lady and two children,
Messrs. Kenned? and Blissett, passengers, and
all the crew, (with the exception of two negroes,
which, the boat being small, it was found impos.
tible to take on board) embarked. A short time
after the boat left the wreck she sunk. One of
the negroes reached the shore on a piece of the
wreckfthe other was unfortunately drowned in
the surf. The boat landed at Burysville, on the
coast of Florida, and proceeded on the following
da? to St. Augustine. The wreck of the steam
boat drove on shore, and went to pieces, the en
•tne havin'* l*Jlrn out of her wheD *he wnk and
rolled over. Capt. Davis and his family arrived in
this city on Saturday in the schr. Agness, from
St. Augustine.—Charleston Courier.

* A Short Sermon about the Cholera.—[From
the Richmond Whig. J—‘* The CKolera I* ascend
mg the Kenawha/roin the Ohio, and may, accord
ing to all experience, be toon expected to pene
trate into the heart of Virgioia, as, whethercon
tagious or uot, it always advance* along rivers
and thorough fare*. Keep yourselves warm,
cleanly, and firm. Abate all nuisance* about
your promise*. Unless your habits are very bad,
change them not. Avoid fruits of all kind*, and
crude vegetables. Drink of ardent spirits, mode
rately and temperately. Attack the first symp
toms of Diarrhea, vigorously. If a Physician or
a Clergyman fly from his pest—it being the pecu
liar duty of the fir*t tu wait on the sick, and of
the last to wait on the dying—never trust either
again. Eat as heartily as you can, of plain food,
especially of meat and bread. Above all, keep
up your courage, and cherish confidence in your
destiny. Stay at home likewise, and meet the
enemy amidst your comforts and your frieuds.”
There is more good sense in this short sermon,
than you will find sometime* in * printed one of
thirty octavo pages.
Major Jack Downing says, that after the Presi
dent received the degree of Doctor of Laws at
Harvard University, some of them *• slick look
ing fellers” offered him (Major Jack) a degree;
while the President was drinking a mug of cider
with Mr. Quincy, they took him into a little
room and wrote some lating upon a sheet of
pasteboard, just like the General’s, ami they set
down and signed their names to it; they told him
it was a degree of A. S. S. which stood for Ama
zing Smart Skoler. The Major says that the
kutulge fellers, when they gave the General his
pasteboard, jabbered away like all naler, in
a gibberish worse than Black Hawk's, but the old
General never let on, and nodded his head as if
he understood every word of it.
The Stolen Money.—We understand that the
principal part of the money stolen nn the 11th
instant,from the mail stage between Boston and
Lynn, consisted of a distinct emission of bills
of the Piscataqua Bank, made payable to J. W.
Pierce, or to H. Somers, and which were used,
not for common circulation, bat only for sperial
purposes; and that as nearly all this emission,
excent what was included in the Dackages stolen,
has been withdrawn from circulation, and no
more will be issued by the bank, it is hoped that
detection will follow sny attempt on the part of
the thieves, to put the bills stolen into circulation.
We also understand that one of the three
packages stolen, contained a 81000 bill of the
said Piscataqua bank, which may be identified,
not as being oT the above emission, but from the
circumstance of its being the onlv bill of that de
nomination that the bank has in circulation.
Boston Daily Advertiser.
Advertising.—The Pennsylvanian has come
to the resolution to publish no more gratuitous
advertisements. The truth is the practice is
growing highly injurious to the interests of pub
lishers, who find that their paper-makers and
type-founders are not in the way of working for
them for nothing. It is a common occurrence
to have the most valuable pari of an advertising
journal filled up with the notices of meetings,
military and religious—requests of difterent
kinds, and appeals lor this thing and that, while
the mercantile part of the community rarely
think of asking lor any privileges. They send
their advertisements, and pay for them; and it
is their patronage, which is solid, profitable and
desirable. As long as some newspapers, to ob
tain a temporary celebrity, or a momentary ad
vantage, are willing to cut down regular prices,
so long will there be an uninterrupted call upon
the newspaper proprietors to work for nothing
and find themselves.
The Pennsylvanian of Saturday says: ff’ash
ington Irving is recovering from his late acci
dent. Who will not be pleased to hear of his
entire convalescence? He is engaged, we un
derstand, in writing sketches of western scenery
and manners—squirrel shooting, wild horse catch
ing, camping out at night, buffaloe hunting on
the Draries. &c. 6tc. He tried to write his new
book in New York, but so great was the noise
and dust in that city—the calls of visiters. &c.
that he had to decamp and go up the North Riv
er. He now takes it quietly and comfortably.
When Mr. Irving was in the far west, he made
a visit of six weeks duration to Fort Gibson and
that neighborhood on the Grand River. Arkan
saw, &c. &c. In that part of the west the prai
ries are very extensive, buffaloe hunting frequent
and wild horses in great abundance. Mr I.
mixed in all these sports, camped out at night,
and seemed to enjoy every thing with great got*/.
His graphic account of shooting the buffaloe, or
catching the wild horse, or a night camp will
probably be very amusing.
He also got acquainted with several curious
originals, in the neighborhood of Grand River,
who tell in the west as many curious and droll
anecdotes of him, as he will probably write of
them. One of them is called Tonish, a French
creole of great drollery—and another, a half
blood, called Jayette—both well known as in
disputable western woodsmen, or prairie hunters,
| in that country. Mr. Irving will, most pruba
bly, give curious descriptions'll! these men. He
particularly studied their habits, character, droll
points, and all about them.
We have received from a friend in the West
a number of interesting anecdotes, incidents,
scenes, &c. connected with Mr. I’s journey, be
vond the Mississippi, and we may one day be
disposed to unstring a few of them. At all
events, if the reading world knew what curious
“sayings and doings” exist in the “far, far
west,” they would be terribly impatient for Irv
ing’s forthcoming work.
Absconding Debtor.—About ten days since
Mr. Hays the High Constable with some of the
other police officers, being in search of stolen
goods, ascertained that a considerable lot of
trunks and boxes, supposed to contain dry goods,
were secreted in a house in Mulberry street.-—
Upon enquiry being instituted as to the cir
cumstances attending the deposit, and the cha
racter of the accredited owner, they learned that
he passed at different places where he had been
boarding, under various assumed names, which
induced them to take possession of the property,
and conduct the owner to the Police Office for
examination. Here he admitted, that although
the property was not stolen, it had been never
theless obtained fraudulently from merchants in
Norfolk, Va., in the neighborhood of which place
he had kept a country store, and had managed
to obtain on credit dry goods, hardware and
other articles, to the amount of about 85,000,
with which he had absconded. Being willing to
restore the property to the lawful owners, they
were written to upon the subject, and several of
them came oir, into whose possession the whole
of it was yesterday delivered for the purpose ol
being re-shipped to Norfolk.
The value of the property thus unexpectedly
secured for the creditors amounts as is estimated
to between two and three thousand dollars.

We regret to see, among the list of deaths by
pestilential cholera, in Lawrenceburg, (Ky.,j
published in the Frankfort Commentator, the
name of our much esteemed friend and old
acquaintance, Capt. William B. Wallace,
formerly of Stafford County, Virginia—a highly
meritorious officer of the Revolution, who sear
ed from the beginning to the termination of the
war. All who knew the upright, benevolent and
philanthropic character of our deceased friend,
will unite with us in deploring his death. He
was, we understand, about seventy-five years
old.—Fredericksburg Herald.
Jin honest colored man—as noble a* any other
work of God.—A few days since, a gentleman
lost in the street Three Hundred Dollars, which
was advertised in the New York Gazette. The
next morning, the faithful colored porter in the
store of P. I Nevius & Son, came forward with
I the money which he found in the street. It is
! needless to add, that he was handsomely reward
' ed by the owner; but, his richest reward is, a
consciousness of having performed an obligatory
duty.— N. Y. Ga2.

The Fire at Ithaca.— The following particu
lars are given in a letter published in the Albany
Evening Journal:
Ithaca, July 15th.—We had a large fire hers
last night. It broke out about 11 o’clock in N.
Herrick’s store, and has destroyed nearly 30
buildings. It has swept the whole from Her
rick’s corner to the Tompkins House, north, and
far as Hardy & McComick, Nichols & Luce, and
Mr. Downing’s store, occupied by Mr Carpen
ter. The following are among the sufferers: N.
Herrick. P C. & G. W Schuyler. B S. Hal
sey. S. Seman & Son, G. L & W. G. Grant,
Burdick & Burrett, Giles & Ballard.
Another letter, states that there is reason to
believe the conflagration was the work of an in*
cendiary. In N. York the insurance on the pro
perty destroyed is trifliog—1000 dollars in two
offices.
Saratoga Springs.—A letter from the
Spring, dated on Monday last, slates that the
number of visitors there is uncommonly U»ge
for this season of the year. At Congress Hail
there were about 180 visitors, at the United
States Hotel 130, at the Pavilion about 100,
and at Union Hall over 100. The Houses are
filling fast.
Another letter says:—“An accident occur
red on Siturdav night, on the rail road which
•nearly proved fatal to some. Perhaps you know
that on the arrival of the day boat at Albany,
an extra car is despatched, with horses, for this
place. On Saturday the boat was late, conse
quently the car left at a late hour. It so occur
red that an extra car left Saratoga at 9 o’clock,
and both driving at full speed, were not seen by
each other until they came in contact, on the
large bridge at Ballston. The concussion, as
you may suppose, was very great. Fortunately
no person was killed. The driver was thrown
from hia seat, and stunned, but not seriously
injured. Some of the passengers were more or
less injured, but none ot them seriously.”
We learn that the boiler of the steam engine
of the Drv Dock Comnanv hurst .yesterday
morning. Two persons were scalded, and the
engineer was thown out of doors, but wa9 only
slightly injured. This explosion is said to have
been caused by the gradual dropping of water
for a length of time from the tank above, on to
that part of the boiler which gave way and
which wag thereby corroded and weakened.
