SVanlicckel. — We are liappy to hear tliat the btisi- 

 ncss of Nantucket, which was somewhat cUiiiessed a 

 few months since, has revived, ard again bids fair to 

 reward the labors aiul hazards of the entrrpriziiis; Peo- 

 ple of that Island. Five or six shijis have recently 

 sailed on whaling voyages, and abont as many more 

 are fitting. 



Slant Coal — For several weeks the Lehigh Compa- 

 ny have delivered at the rate of 100 tons of Coal 

 every day ; yet so great is the demand, that it is 

 seven days after the order before the Coal can be 

 delivered. Upwards of fonr thonsand tons have been 

 brought to niaiket this season from the Lehigh, yet 

 there is not much now in the yards for sale. Persons 

 v.ho want Coal will do well to apply properly. 



Phil. Demo. Press. 



NEW YORK, NOV. 10. — We Understand that the Banks 

 in this city have come to the unanimous determina- 

 tion to cross all Counterl'eit Notes that may be offer- 

 ed to them in payment or on deposit. This measure 

 ■was evidently called for by the great number of spu- 

 rious notes in circulation, most of which, when thrown 

 out by the Banks, are returned and again put in cir- 

 culation. 



Ttttscope. — The great refracting Telescope made | 

 by Professor f'rauenhofer for the Observatory of the 

 I'russiau University at Dorpat, is now placed in St. 

 Savior's church at Munich. This immense instru- 

 ment exceeds, both in length and diameter the great 

 reflecting telescope of Hc-rschel. Its length is 160 

 Paris inches, and its diameter 10. 



FRANCE AND HAYTI. 



'Strange as the measure may seem, the London 

 Courier strongly intitnates that an expt diliou has ac- 

 tually sailed from France for the reconquest of Hayti. 

 In confirmation of such a belief, the following letter is 

 adduced, which is declared to have been written by a 

 member of the Chamljer of Deputies, who had access 

 to ministerial communications; 



" Soon after the dismissal of the Ilaytien commis- 

 sioners, sent to France to negociate the acknowledg- 

 ment of St. Domingo as an indepindent state, orders 

 were given by the French irovernment to prepare an 

 expedition against that island. Four thousand men, 

 forming part of it, were ordered to Brest, and there : 

 embarked on the ';i8th August. The expedition then j 

 set sail to join admiral Duperre oif Martinique, where i 

 an additional number of troops, collected for several j 

 months past, were to be taken on board, and the ' 

 whole to proceed to St. Domingo. 



On arriving off the Island, it was not intended to 

 Undertake any thing decisive in the first instance, 

 which the smallness of the forces would not admit of, 

 but to get possession of some strong places on the 

 healthiest part of the coast, throw up additional fortifi- 

 cations, and then enter into negociations with some of, 

 the chiefs, many of whom are still attached to France. 

 Should these fail, then strong reinforcements would 

 be sent from France, and hostilities commence, 

 w hilst the fleet would establish the strictest blockade 

 befor& tlie principal ports of thclsland. 



Communication ri*specting this armament was, it is 

 added, made several months ago to the British Cabi- 

 utt, which, acting. upon the principle that every na- 

 tion has an undoubted right to attempt to recover he' 

 .. olonies, started no objection. The journey of a cer- 

 tain Lord (II by,) to Paris, some months ago, it is 



(ven said was not altogether unconnected with this 

 object. 



Spain, claiming part of Tlispanolia, it is confidently 

 asserted, will act in concert with France, and probably 

 extend her views to the Gulf of Mexico. — Courier. 



Virginia Election. — The counties in Virginia which 

 have been beard from, give to Mr. Crawford 5354 

 votes, .Adams 211o, and Jackson 1Gj5. 



Pinnsyhania Eleclion. — In the counties from which 

 intelligence has been received, the Jackson ticket has 

 '.'n/j99 votes, the Adams 6001, the Crawford 3749, 

 ■uid the Clay 1432. 



.Vtw York Eleclion. — We learn, by the Alb,any mail 

 of last evenmg, that the rnllowing electors are chosen 

 :u that state ;— Adams g6— Clay 7— Crawford 3. 



FOURTH OF JULY, 1826! 

 In a neat little paper called the Detroit Gazette, the 

 question is asked, when will Michigan be adniitled 

 into the American confederation .-' This qiie.stion is 

 answered as a matter of every day occurrence in the 

 same paper— on the 41h of July, 1826. On tliat day, 

 continues the editor, half a century of our National 

 Independence will have been completed, and on that 

 day Michigan and .Arkansas will be added to the ori- 

 g:inal thirteen Stat.es, and the number will then have 

 lieen doubled. That this is no ideal speculation ap- 

 pears from other facts recorded in the same paper. 

 To show the facility of communication in that coun- 

 try, wool has been sent 1080 miles, going and coming, 

 to be carded in the establishment rtcenlly erected in 

 that city by Messrs. KIdred and French. In another 

 department of the same paper, we were delighted to 

 behold an advertisement by a committee appointed by 

 the patrons of the University of Michigan, announcing 

 the choice of a President, and that every thing was in 

 readiness for the reception of students. The songs of 

 the American muses will now be heard on the bor- 

 ders of our Lakes. We will fin'ther add on an occa- 

 sion so interesting as the completion of the first half 

 century of our national independence, that the fourth 

 of July, 1826, should be commemorated as a general 

 jubilee throughout the United States. It should be a 

 solemn, stately, grand and magnificent celebration — 

 a day devoted to all the joyous feelings of the human 

 heart. Bait. Amer.

Bremen Geese. 



FOR sale by Thomas Williams, at Noddle's Island,

 notice is given in the New England Farmer, vol. iii. p. 

 45. in an article copied from a Providence paper. — 

 They are recommended in preference to all-others by 

 their weight, extra quality and quantity of down, and 

 feathers (yielding double ;) they are perfectly white, 

 set much earlier, are more sure of bringing off a brood, 

 are remarkably hardy, and will weigh when fatted dou- 

 ble the weight of our common geesp." They are like-
