The United States— Though Ihe stars multiply, may 

 they all observe the same law of attraction. 



The memory of Washington — The friend of America

 world. 



This Day, — which commences the xra which its 

 orator has anticipated, when genius enjoys opportunity. 



Gen. La Fayette — He forgot his cares for a nation, 

 now ti\at nation forgets its cares for him. 



By Gen. La Fayette.— The holy alliance of virtue, 

 literature, and patriotism, is more than a match for any 

 coalition against the rights of mankind. 



In the course of the entertainment, the President said 

 that instead if a toast, he would read an article of in- 

 telligence which he had been furnished from the Mer- 

 chants' Hall Books, viz: — 



Arrived the good ship Cadmus, fully freighted with 

 joy and gladness to 10,000,000 consignees.

 facil per se. 



American Poetry — none the worse for Wart.

 ry happy in a large family of legitimate children.

Harvard Holidays, and College reminiscences — Col- 

 legisse juvat. 



Phi Beta Kappa (A". H.)—On Wednesday 18th inst. 

 took place the annual commencement at Dartmouth 

 College. After the commencement exercises, a highly 

 finished oration was delivered by Sam'l L. Knapp, Esq. 

 of Boston, followed by a poem from Nathaniel H. Car- 

 ter, Esq. of N. York. The oration by Mr Knapp was of 

 no ordinary excellence. A profuse and varied richness 

 spread itself over the whole production, in overflowing 

 and inexhaustible luxuriance. He seemed Apollo, in 

 the temple of the muses, with the sacred nine to prompt 

 and inspire him. There was nothing low, and nothing 

 trivial ; the style flowed with the dignity of the senti- 

 ment. The subject was America ; America, as she 

 was, as she is, and as she will be. The past, the pres- 

 ent, and the future, all passed in review under his pen, 

 The poem, by Mr Carter, deserves a large tribute of 

 praise for its correctness and classical elegance. New- 



buryporl Herald. 



Tea Trade in Ca»7arfa.— Neilson's Quebec Gazette 

 estimates the annual consumption of tea in the prov- 

 inces of Canada at 20,000 chests, of which about 

 16,000 are smuggled from the United States. A pe- 

 tition has been recently presented from the said Pro- 

 vinces to the king, praying that it may be lawful for 

 the East India Company, or others under their license, 

 to import tea, and other goods, wares, '.or merchan- 

 dize, directly from China to Canada. Should this pe- 

 tition be granted, it would occasion a slight disadvan- 

 tage to the tea trade in the United States, and at the 

 same time an essential advantage to the Provinces of 

 Canada. As it is an advantage, however, which 

 strictly belongs to them, we cannot but wish their pe- 

 tition complete success. 



Ilurbide executed. — A Mexican paper ol the2fith ull. 

 has been reci ivi d at New York, wlii< h^i\ cs an account 

 of (he arrival, arrt St. and ex( cutii n ol Iturbidi. He 

 was shot on the I'JIh of July, in pursuant I'ol a decree 

 if Ihe Congress of the Mexican Territory, of the 2Uth of 

 A| ril last. 



Fever at Charleston. — On the 10th nil. three new ca- 

 ses of yellow fever were oflicialiy reported, and one on 

 the 20th The weather had been warm, the mercury 

 standing on an average over 80, and much rain having 

 lallen last week. 'Ihe accounts are by the Convoy, in 

 advance of the mail to the 21st ultimo. 



A letter to the Editors of the National Intelligencer 

 informs them of the decease of one of their subscribers 

 at Natchitoches, in Louisiana, in these briti hut com- 

 prehensive terms: — " Spotswood Mii.r.s is dead. He 

 was assassinated in our town a few nights ago." 



Remarkable Coincidence. — We have been inform- 

 ed, that Captain Robert Allyn, (the father of Captain 

 Francis Mlyn., who commanded the Ship Cadmus 

 that brought out General de La Fayette,) was an 

 officer of merit in the American Infantry under the 

 immediate command of the General, at the siege of 

 Yorktowu. Bait. Tel.

Among the general gratulations of welcome to La 

 Fayette, there is one of no common interest awaits 

 him in his progress to the south. Mr. Custis, of Ar- 

 lington, we learn, is causing to be made a Bing, to 

 contain some of the hair of the Father of the Country, 

 and will present the same to the General when he 

 shall visit the Tomb of the Great Chief at Mount Ver- 

 non. The ring will descend in the family of La Fay- 

 ette, a token of the affection which suljsisted between 

 the Father and Son of American Liberty. It is mak- 

 ing at the shop of Mr. G. Gaither, of Washington city, 

 will be of plain Gold, bearing simply the inscription of 

 Patrice Pater. The hair derives its date from 1790, 

 the General being then first President of the United 

 States, and slightly shows the frost of time.

CAUTION TO THE PUBLIC. 



STOLEN from the bar of the subscriber, between the 

 30th July and 2d of August instant, a lot of KEYS, 

 13 in number, all but two of which were altered, eith- 

 er by filing or cutting. They were found on the stage 

 road iu Lexington, on Friday, the 9th of July last, 

 connected together by a small iron chain with a piece 

 of cloth and silk handkerchief around them. The keys 

 were of large size, some of them had the appearance of 

 being store keys recently used, others were rusty but 

 newly altered. They were doubtless collected for 

 no good purpose, and may be instruments for doing 

 much damage.
