It has been officially aimotmce4 by the act- N k g Oommissioiiw on tbe M^e§tern section,, that ^eknfeiished parts ot this stupqndoas work, will be COMFieTED bn WEDNESDAy THE 26th •iast. oa -which day, boats will ride k triumph ' &ef the Mouiitam I^idge.' ' Jumei Reifnfildiy ayoung man, has been found guilty of the murder of William, Y/cst, captain of.a sloop„ at’ l^ew-York*, The .ihurder was committed ini June last, and m thjg cabiiuof the sloop. When the prisoner was placed at the har toteCeive his sentence, his counsel stated that since the trial, evidence had been discover- . ed, v/hich went to show that the murder had been committed f^j^^aturday night, and not dn night as had been attested to On thebri- al. That the prisoner having been at his hoard- ., mg-hQuse.oni&nurdajr night, it was not possible for him* to have been guilty of the horrid act. Upon those grounds a motion was made to post pone the sentence, sous to atford an opportuni ty to procure the ^evidence alluded to. .The Court, however, decided that the counsel had failed in making out* a case to -warrant them in suspending the\ sentence, w'hich was accordingly , passed, and Saturday, the 19th day ©f Novem ber next, assigned as the day of his execution. The sentence pronounced in his case, by Judge Edwards, will be found in another part of our paper. American Athenceum .— Wc received a -few days since from a friend in New-York, a few numbers Of a weekly periodical published in that city, by Mr. George Bond, entitled “ The American Aihenantm, or Repository of\ A rts, Sci ences and Belles Lettres,'* It is printed in a quar to form, on fine paper, and contains 12 pages neatly enclosed in an advertising cover.—Price jfivc dollars per annum. ■ 'The numbers before us exhibit, reviews of late publications, selections firom ably conduct ed domestic and foreign journals, original essays, remarks on foreign countries by American tra vellers, notices of passing events, original and T^^eiected poetry, &.c. &c,, forming a pleasing 'Variety, which is, indeed, “ the spice of life.” l^rom t h e specim e n s exh ib ited t o us o f this w o r k , w'e tak e t b e liberty o f recom m ending it to our literary r eaders as a very interesting and Useful publication. British Revifxers .—^In looking, the other day, over a file of Blackwood’s Edinburgh Maga zine, we noficed the following paragraph upon fhe recent visit of La Fayette to our shores, and the gratitMe which we Americans have shewn him, for the great services rendered this country k her glorious struggle tor Independence. We republish it, certainly not for dny merit which it contains, hut merely to shew the utter want of truth which actuated ,the w'riter—the envy and mijice which rankles in the hbsoms of the obsequious minions of royalty, Who are incapa ble of appreciating the noble spirit which ani- \ a natioir of freemen towards thoir distin guished heriefactor.-^The writer observes; --------------- - -------------- « T h e R e p u b l i c is all In commotion about L a FAtETTE—pretending -—shame bn such impudence 1— that all this uproar comes o f their gatitude.— Gratitude I — ^we know them better* But, even while we speak, the lashion is over—we have no doubt o f it —we put our opinion, therefore,, upon record, With a date (Jan. 1, 1825)— we say, that already the fashion is over, id! America : thatj already, they have done pur suing the Father o f their countiy,” as they profanely call him, after Washington, with outcries of parade.— Gratitude l-*-We itnow them better.— talk of gratitude, while the surviving men of the revolufion are dying o f w ant.— We know tbe character o f ' this people j we know that o f the Marqui *— B u t he was a boy, a mere boy, when he vol unteered in^the armies of America j aind we say, positively, that all this uproar is not because of their gratitude^ in America, for what he did, in the day o f revolution (for he did( but little— and,»of that little, they knew nothing)— but chiefly ^ because h e / L x F ay - 4TTE, is a nolltmarif of whom they have beard much talk hlelyt and all at once. It is cpiosity—^ o t gratitude. Gratitude is consistent. Curiosity is not. Gratitude is the growth o f knowledge, in a case like th is: Curiosity is the ^ow th of ignorance.” Arethesuryiving men of our Revolution “ dy- want1” Thisris a bold and unqualified assertbn, and one which the journals of our Congress will throw back into the writer's face as false. He calls the respect which we have shown to L a Fayette “ a fashion,” and with up- , blulhing: effrontery, heightened by the particU- krily of d|ite^ records and announces to the 1st, 1925,” that “ al ready” it “ is over,” This notablo liyriteir kay now erase from lii's slanderous rocoiid this “ opb nion,” for surfdy the fashion” of which he speaks, was not then, and is hOt yet over. The “fashions of London” and Edinburgh ipaj^ change with each revolving month, and receive their stated annunciations in t|ie Court C«*ettes, but American gratitude is too deep-rooted to be erased by time or circumstances. . The fact is, that from the very hour of Lq Fayette’s arrival upon our shores, to that ofhis departure,but one sentiment pervaded the breasts of the people of these United States,—^univer sal, unmingled and enthusiastic —and even at this time, millions of freemen are send-^ ing up to Heaven their orisons for his safe cori- veyance to the land of his nativity. But, “ he was a mere boy when he volunteer-* ed in the armies of America.” May every op pressed and persecuted people have a host of suck hoys, to fight their battles and redeem them from the curse, of civil and religious tyranny I Let the storming of the redoubts at YorktoWn testify, whether his character, or his conduct on that occasion entitled him to that appellation or not. By referring to the faithful page of histo ry, the reviewer will find, that the stripling out-, geperaled an experienced commander of the British army, who was not only foiled in all his attempts to “ catch the boy,” but who was re duced to the mortifying necessity of surrender ing his sword into the hands of the youthful hero. “ He did hut little, and of that little they (the American people) hiend nothingd '—Were the naked and hidf starved soldiery ivhom he clothed and fed from his private bounty, now alive, how would the fire of honest indignation mantle their cheeks to hear such a declaration. The writer knows better—the people of Great Britain know better. It is envy, sheer envy, that “ can brook no rival,” which dictated such assertions and which prompted all former hire ling writers in Great Britain, who have tradu ced this “ new and better world.” In the un- parallellcd growth and prosperity of America, her rapid advancement in agriculture, the arts and sciences, they foresee the eclipse of their own boasted light and knowledge. The Brit ish writers on America,- loyal to their King, be cause paid for their loyalty, h a ^ in vain at tempted to palm on the seisible and liberal minded people of that kingdom the belief, that we arc an ignorant race of beings, incapable of appreciating that v.-hich is worthy and distin guished. Those attempts come too late.—A- merica is too well known abroad to fear any thing from the calumnies which they may utter. She is borne along with irresistible force, on “ the full tide of successful experiment,” and is destined soonto occupy the first “ station among the uatiofis of the earth.” Her example of free government has already produced an electrical influence on the oppressed of other nations, and the kbgs and princes o f the old world will all, sooner or later, he made to yield their crowns and sceptres to the “ Genius of universal eman cipation.” SUMIVIARY. The village of Black Rock contains 1448 in habitants. Some idea may he formed of the rapid growth o f tha’t village, from t h e fact, that in February 1824, the population was only 446. The town of Carrn, Plymouth county, (Ms.) has three good meeting-houses, and no minis ter— n o clients, and no laivyer-—no deputy she- rifii-no doctor, and hut one pauper.
