About BRATTXaEBOnO' It is said that S00 postmasters have already been removed from office under the present administration, for the crime of not favouring the election of General Jackson.

have been attended with extremes of temperature, and a greater "quantity of rain' snow and hail have fallen, and more liVht- umg and thunder within that period than is usual, perhaps the following extract from my Meteorological Journal may not be uninteresting to some of your readers. The observations were made at Fayetteville, Vt. be tween the tJUth day of April, 1826, and the istoay ol May, 1W29. The mean temperature of each month was obtairred by three observations, of a London graduated 1 hermometer, suspended six feet from the earth, on the north side of a building, and under a screen, daily, viz. at sunrise; and at 2 and 9 o'clock P.

M. Great care was aken in obtaining the quantity of water, which fell in rain, snow, and hail, and also in ascertaining the depth of snow which fell during the winter. am, sir, very respectfully yours, MAILT IN FIELD. aK, uu Jii r- r- cc t- png Mom hi sm'Tj pue 'mous 'iiihj in j-iimm cpnon 2 c' 05 03 AM v-- a I 1 .1 7 f.1 7 A '-4 CJ rjg CO rr rj Tl CI tf b'. -V C' ci ci to co IMIH A tl' -J i i-oo tcrj 1 CT CI CJ jail Si -J ft 1 i uj." td jO CO 00 9 FRIDAY, MAY-1829 rvuo times wax warm at Washington.

The National Intelligencer of the tains a more furious attack upon Gen. Jackson than has ever before been made upon a Presi ent of the United He is compared to Nero and Tiberius, and all the worst tyrants of ateUfollo'vvin, extracts indicat.0 Ler was the chair of state vacated, than the Lent incumbent, yielding either to the force natural passions, or prompted by the interred suggestions of a band of clamorous petitioners; began a system of proscription which, the fierceness and uncompromising spirit in hich it is pursued, yields to nothing in the annals of any age." Again "Thanks to the wisdom and foresight of our fathers, the lives nf men are safe. The spirit of a Tiberius or a mav riot to excess on the distresses of such as derive a subsistence from the government- but to the deprivation of office the pow er is limited." Continuing his violent invectives, Lucius asks the following dark and mys terious question "Did Tiberius or Nero ever oerpetrate an act of greater moral obliquity nnnuT in thics ritv 111" llivJOw uivu vAiJjr -j This ambiguous accusation may allude to some thin? that we cannot understand at this dis tance. If so, we cannot but hope that the allusion is ithout foundation. We know of no- that can justify a question so awfully oracular, The editors of the Intelligencer beg their readers to believe that Lucius does not mean the President, but only "King Caucus," a gi jrantic monster that haunts the imagination of tho-e editors by day and night, and who, they siy, rules both the President and Congress.

Thoy further say, that General Jackson is rather a good sort of a man, but, unhappily, a very ignorant man that he "comes from profound retirement into the busy and bustling world," that unlike his predecessors, he has never "mingled jn the world of his fellow citi-jens, or gained experience and knowledge of from his intercourse in society, that he is governed by "bad counsellors," that he "errs greatly," and that "his errors are hardly so much his as those of the people who elected him" to a high office for which he is "not well qualified." It is an old remark that every man had rather be called a knave than a fro1. If the President be not an exception, ho will feel more indignation at the sly sarcasms of the editors of the Intelligencer, than at the ferocious denunciations'of their correspondent Lucius. As to this same "Lucius," we are inclined to think that such excessive violence is excessively impolitic. News of. Vie day.

Two men were conversing, not long since, upon the subject of the of the day, when one of them remarked, that, were it not for President Jackson's removals and appointments, it wTould be the dullest time for news ever known. The other was of a different opinion. For my part, said he, 1 find news a plenty in the papers, and all of the same agreeable kind Murders, Piracies, Fires, Suicides, Duels and "Reform." Original." We have for some time thought that the whole list of names proper for newspapers and literary publications was exhausted, and that there could be no neiv thing in that line. But we were mistaken. A literary paper has appeared at Providence, entitled, The Original, edited, as it is very proper that it should berby a lady.

Not having seen the publication, we have no criticism to wake upon it, and can only praise the originality of its title. Thomas S. Williams of Hartford, has been elected, by the Legislature of Connecticut, a Judge of the Superior Court of that State, in the place of Judge Brainard, resigned. Clark Bissell, Esq. i3 also elected a Judge of the same Court, in the place of Judge Lanman, resigned.

It is rumoured that the work of "reform" is beginning to be realized in this State, in the appointment of Daniel Kellogg, Esq. of Rock ingham, to be District Attorney, in place of Mr. Griswold, removed. The Vermont Patriot announces the fact that George W. Hill, the printer of that paper, has received the "reward" of his services in the appointment of Postmaster at Montpelier, vice, Joshua Y.

Vail, Esq. removed. The Weather. The uncommon coldness which, till within a week a or two, has distinguished the season, is now changed to midsummer heat. The two first days of the present week the mercury, in shaded situation, rose as high as 91 1-2 degrees.

Stepping into the printing office of Messrs. Holbrook Fessenden, a few days since, we were gratified with a view of the operation of anavand much improved water-press, built by E.H.Thomas. It is indeed a master-piece machinery, and moves with the regularity clock-work. The work thrown off by this press will compare, in beauty, to. any we have ever seen on the same quality of paper.

The state of perfection attained by the manufaetur-er the construction of this press will, we are persuaded, insure him a liberal patronage. Asa Child, esq. of Norwich, has received the appointment of U. S. Attorney for the District CoQnecticut, in the place of Nathan Smith, sq, removed.

satisfactory to the public generally, and parti- uiany iomose immediately interested, to Jam the causes whirh nrnrliird cnvnoncU le -V-IJOIWU the resrulation of the DeopmhAi- ioa relative to revolutionary pensions. I have ascertained that from the dato of-thc tO the Period Of Its fi-a-ittr o. revolutionary officers and soldiers were placed on the pension list. One hundred ami fiftw applications for pensions were received at the Pension office, most of which it is presumed would have come under the provisions of the iiiiu iv is mat wunin the year, (had the regulation been continued) five hundred more would have bpsn nn the pension list. This number, including the 3 aireauy aamiueu, would have amounted to ior ine present nscal year to meet which expenditure no' appropriation had been asked from congress by the late Secretary of war, ana, consequently, it became the duty of the present head of the War De nartmpnt tr suspend-the operation of the.

I do not entertain a doubt but that the Ren. retary of War will renew the regulation of his i preuecessor, as soon as an appropriation lo meet the increased payments can be obtained from Congress.

AN OFFICER OF THE ARMY. Washington, May 9, 1829. The Launch. The new Steam Falls Boat "Vermont," built by our ingenious and enterprising townsman, Mr. Thomas Blanchard, was on Friday last, carted from his shop through Main Street to the Middle Landing, and in the afternoon was launched into her destined element in gallant style, accompanied by an excellent baud of music and the loud huzzas of a large concourse of spectators.

The "Vermont" is, for a Falls boat, of a handsome model, and calculated, we should think, for a rapid sailer is 75 feet in length, 15 feet breadth of beam, with a promenade deck has two cabins forward, with the engine aft, and ths wheel at the stern. This is the first steam boat, with engine complete, ever built in thi3 town, and if we are not mistaken the first evr built in this state or on theborders of the Connecticut river. She is intended to ply in the river between Hartford and Bellows' Falls, and else where. We hope this is but the precursor of a system of internal improvement that will tend to make the "Green Mountain Boys" and our noble selves" better acquainted. Springjield Journal.

Thrift, thrift, Horatio." Hamlet. Domestic Manufactures. The attention of many persons at the Federal Street Theatre, was attracted, a few evenings since, by the ap pearance in the second tier of boxes of four children, evidently members of the same fami ly, and, apparently, of nearly the same age. On enquiring, we were informed that these four children were the simultaneous pledges of affection between an individual attached to the theatre and his worthy wife, having been brought into the world at one birth. The two boys are astonishingly like each other, and the same remark may be applied to the two girls.

They are now six years of age, strong, healthy, and intelligent. Daily Advertiser. Paper Machine. Isaac Sanderson, of Milton, Mass. paper manufacturer, has invented, and secured a patent for, anew and highly important improvement in the Cylinder Paper Ma chine, for manufacturing paper, consisting of a counteracting horizontal Whirl Wheel, and a paper-forming Roller, by which the paper usually made by Machine is greatly improved in quality, strength and durability and-several kinds of paper are made, never before produced by any machine.

The Grand Jury of Sussex county, Del. have found three indictments against Patty Cannon, for murder, and one each against the brothers joe and n.Den. Johnson ior the same crime This Patty Cannon, it will be remembered, is alleged to have murdered persons for various reasons, and to have buried them on her farm. She is in custody and will be tried probably in October. The others are out of the state; but steps will be taken to discover them.

The last from Sir J. Yorke, (the old Sailor.) Just before the House of Commons divided on the Roman Catholic Bill, he addressed the House, and thus concluded: 'Sir, I propose that this debate be now concluded, with a parliamentary toast, which is, 'May the sister kingdoms be now united and ever after live together like two (Immense laughter and many hearty cheers.) It is stated in some of the papers that the Duke of Wellington intends, in the course of the present session of Parliament, to bring forward what i3 termed the West India Question, with a view to the abolition of all slavery throughout the British dominions. The New York Commercial Advertiser states that Governor Van Ness -of Vermont has been appointed Minister to Spain; and that, although he has accepted the mission, Mr. Everett will not be recalled for six or eight months. Fire.

A fire occurred at Cincinnati on the 7th inst. in the afternoon, which, says the Commercial Daily Advertiser, had got such headway before the alarm was given, that when we reached the spot, within fifteen minutes from the first alarm, it was burning both sides of Columbia or Second Street, and in the course of an hour reduced to ashes from fifteen to twenty houses, and turned as many families houseless into the street. It burnt from Congress Street to Columbia, and across Columbia, (including the large block of frame buildings at the intersection of Columbia and Front Streets,) to the river. The Globe Factory, a large pile of buildings in the village of Syracuse, N. Y.

was burned down on Wednesday night. Cost $8000. Insurance, $2500. The tannery of Mr. Van Buren, adjoining, was also entirely destroyed.

Transylvania University, at Lexington, Ky. has been destroyed by fire. The property was insured to the amount of $10,000. The people of Massachusetts calculate on a "full house" on the meeting of the Legislature. The Representatives' Hall has been prepared with 500 seats, and yet such is the number of representatives elected that is is expected a portion of them will be driven into the lobby.

Boston has elected fifty-five members. The Bank of Columbia at Hudson, has stopped payment. half-past seven this evening a tremendous fall of rock (some hundred tons) took place nearly at the back of the Loggerhead's public house, in which it appears the landlord, Mr. Godkin, then was. In about three minutes the whole extent of cliff gave way, and five houses were crushed into one general wreck.

Near the spot where the first portion which broke awav r. 1 tell, the naps ot a coai were visiD.e, ana in a few seconds a young man was dug out in a state of insensibility, but afterwards recovered, having only received a few bruises. Reports were circulated that others weje under the ruins, but up to the latest hour no more bodies have been found. Mr. Wright had been assured that his house was perfectly safe, and therefore he removed nothing.

A few minutes before the catastro phe he left home; and at that time there was a man working at a frame up stairs, two wo men below with his wife. Mrs. Wright says she heard a noise like part of the rock most distant from the house gave way first) but without entertaining any particular idea of danger, she went to the street door, which she found it impossible to open. Without a moment's hesitation she threw open the casement and leaped into the street, but fell. The man (named Slack) was coming down stairs from his work, and with the other two women, made their exit by the same way but it must have been the work of a few moments, for Mrs.

Wright, as soon as she recovered the use of her legs, ran into an entry immediately opposite, by the side of the Lord Byron public house, and then turning round, saw her house one shapeless mass of ruins. Slack declare: that at the time he jumped from the window, the back part of the house was crushed in, and some of the front tell on his legs Ins effort to escape. Jersey Prison Ship. An interesting work, under this title, has just been issued from the press. The materials, from which the work is written, were left by the late Captain Thomas Drisg, of this town, and compiled by Albert G.

Green, Esq. The editor of the American, in speaking of this work, remarks: "The author has re-modelledt and in fact re-written the whole work, without departing from the facts, in a manner that those only can appreciate who have examined the materials out of which he has constructed one of the most attractive narratives, which, without the aid of fiction, has issued from the American press. The style is simple, appropriate and energetic, and there are some spirited scenes that would not lose in interest beside the pages of the most approv ed historical romances ot the day: so true it is that truth is often stronger than fiction. The author has judiciously avoided the revival of any national antipathies in his narrative, and has confined our abhorrence to the immediate actors on board the Prison Ship. It is due to him to add that the work was put to press as fast as the chapters were prepared, which may account for any apparent want ot arrangement Each chapter is introduced by appropriate mot- tos, chiefly from Freneau and other American authors."

Old -Many people take Newspapers, but few preserve them, yet ine most interesting reading imaginable, is a file of old newspapers.

It brings up the very age, with all its bustle and every day affairs, and marks its genius and its spirit more than the most labored description of i the historian. Who can take a paper elated half a century ago, without the thought that almost every name there printed is now cut upon a tombstone at the head of an epitaph. The doctor quack or regular that there advertised his medicine, and their cures, has followed the sable train of his patients; the merchant his ships could get no such security on his life and the actor, who could make others laugh or weep can uow only furnish a skull for his successor in Hamlet. It is easy to preserve newspapers, and they will repay the trouble, for like that of wine, their value increases wittr their years and old files have sometimes been sold at prices too startling to mention. 27 LYCEUM MEETING at half past 6 o'clock, This Evening.

5 3Tt; i fe'o REMARKS. From, the foregoing table it will be found that the mean temperature of the twelve months was 44.2 which was colder than for several years preceding. The mean temperature of the summer months was b.o winter do. iv.v 47.9 difference. The highest degree of temperature was 90, and was the same on the 27th day of June and the 26th of August.

The lowest temperature was 22 d. below zero, on the 11th of January. The mercury fell below zero eighteen nights within the months of Ja nuarv and February. Such an occurrence has not happened within twenty-five years prece ding the last winter. The quantity of water, which fell during the twelve months, was 73 1-3 inches, which is believed to be beyond a parallel in the recol lection of the oldest man now living.

On the 2d, 3d and 4th days of September, there fell 9 3-4 inches of rain, which produced the over wlielmin-r freshet of the 5th. But as its ruin ous and direful effects are fresh in the recol lection of your readers, and will probably be visible for a century to come, I lorbear to at tempt a description of it. The depth of snow which fell during the last winter was 100 inches, being only three inches more than fell in the winter of 826-7 We had lightning and-thunder on 45 days during the twelve months, which is a very rare occurrence. During many years preceding me last, the number ot days on which light ning and thunder occurred did not exceed 20. The prevailing winds, as usual in New Lng- land, were from N.

est. But it may be wor thy of remark, that during the last 12 months, the number of days on which the wind was from that quarter was about twenty less, than for several years preceding. Ihe Aurora Bo realis was seen on ten. evenings only, during the period above mentioned, which was less by one halt the number than is usual. Of the 73 1-3 inches of water which fell during the twelve months, 40 1-2 inches fell in the nighttime.

Another singular occurrence may be observed, that March was more than three degrees colder than December. Fayetteville, Vt. May 1st, 1829. Mr. Editor, Have we not some able as well as benevolent gentleman in our town that will imitate the example of Mr.

Pomroy of Northfield, and furnish the poor of this town with a farm for their support, instead of having them sold to the lowest bidder. I likewise wish to know if it is not the duty of our grand juror to put a stop to their sailing on the pond on the babbath day. PEACE BETWEEN COLOMBIA AND PERU. We learn by the schr. Splendid, .17 days from Porto Cavello, that a Treaty of Peace has been concluded between Colombia and Peru.

Capt. Clarke informs that intelligence of this event was received by express from Bogota, and announced at Porto Cavello by proclamation, three aays before he sailed. V. Y. Mer.

Advertiser. Hayti and France. We learn from, Hayti, that the French Commissioners concluded a treaty u7ith the Haytien Government on- the ICth April, by which the time of payment of the debt due to France is extended torty years without interest. Haytien Coffee is to be ad mitted to France, during that period, in French vessels, ata duty mid-rate between the i renth Colonial and Foreign duty, or about 2 1-2 sons per lb. less than the foreign.

No other privilege is to be granted to France over other nations. The operation of this treaty so far as American commerce is concerned, will be to cut off our carrying trade from Hayti, in the article of Coffee, but leave us to enjoy all other advantages which our en-terprize can command. Logwood, hides, cocoa, tortoise shell, will now probably form much of the cargoes of our vessels trading to Hayti, and as these do not pay good freights, our trade must fall off. A. Y.

Mer. Adv. Important Inidan Intelligence. We learn from a highly respectable -gentleman who arrived here yesterday from Montgomery, that Col. Crowell had received orders from the department at Washington to repair to the territory allotted to the Creek Indians, on the Verdigris river, and to disburse' the annuity to such of the Indians as were there to receive it.

We understand also that it has been intimated to the Indians who may choose to remain, that they must expect to become subject to the laws of the United States. Mobile paper..
