Emigration is commencing, and may be expected to be considerable, between this and the winter coming. Several boats are now on the point of descending this river. Upwards of 700 have inregistered themselves already for removal.

Antique Glasses,

Discovered in Hamburg, Niagara county, N. Y.

FROM THE UTICA PATRIOT AND PATHOL.

An opinion is entertained by many well informed persons in the United States, that this country has at some remote period, been inhabited by a civilized people, prior to its settlement or subjugation by the savages: and to the many evidences furnished to strengthen this opinion by the remains of fortifications, tumuli, &c. may be added the discovery of a number of pieces of glass, of sin. gular workmanship, lately made in Hamburgh, Niagara county.

This enamelling appears to me, to have been done, not by melting on any vitrious composition, as is practised at the present day, but by the effect of calcination for some time in a low red heat. This, it is known, will deprive glass, especially green glass, of its transparency, and render the surface white to a certain depth.

QUEER-FUNNY ARTICLE.

The following is so ridiculously malicious-and so laughably impudent-so comically inconsistent, that we cannot be displeased with it. What! -is England, who has colonies in every part of the world that she can set her foot upon, on any terms, alarmed at a negociation by us to obtain a place in the Mediterranean for a naval rendezvous?-Pshaw-pshaw-yet she is alarmed, most abominably, most laughably, alarmed. But she has no danger to fear on this score-she may rest satisfied that the United States have no thought of possessing colonies. Independent of the impropriety of the thing itself from the principles of our government, we have seen too much of the cursed effects of colonies on Great Britain to wish any of them. May heaven, as one of its best blessings to my country, forever forbid its possessing a colony, to mix it in the quarrels and intrigues of corrupted Europe!

That republics have at least as great a taste for augmenting their territorial possessions as monarchies, the negociations which are going on with the Indians, for the extension of the Georgian frontier, afford an additional proof.

ENGLAND, &C.

London papers of August 12. The papers are very barren. The account of the harvest seems the most interesting It had commenc. ed in England with fine weather, and would probably be very productive. Those of Germany, Trance, Italy and the Netherlands are spoken of in the like formidable terms.

The papers contain repeated notices of improv ments in the condition of the manufacturing dis tricts, from the great increase of employment.

Roger O'Connor, esq. a gallant, distinguished, and highly accomplished and wealthy Irishman, has been acquitted of the charges against him. His great fault was that, by his liberality and goodness of heart, he was too much beloved by the people; his influence was feared, and, to get rid of him, a pack of rascals were hired to swear he had robbed a mail coach many years before! Though the charge was so ridiculous as to have made it a subject for laughter in other circumstances-though the gentleman was prepared to prove a negative as clearly as a person at Nootka Sound could have done, if he had been charged with it-still it hung over him for a long time, and he had great difficulty to get a trial-he was tried, and instantly acquitted.

A further reduction of the foreign troops who have held the possession for king Louis, is spoken of-France cannot pay for them.

"But at present, when the deposit exists in actual cash, as the treasurer general states, and when the consulado assure us that it demanded Meade to make the deposit in the treasury of the rents, it appears that he having complied with those two extremes, his arrest ought no longer to continue."

The conclusion which the fiscal has thus arrived at, and the facts on which he has founded it, were as true twelve months ago, as they are now. In fine here is a formal confession of the fiscal himself, according to which, there is no ground for continuing the imprisonment of Mr. Meade a single moment; but though this dictamen was given on the 26th May last, Mr. Meade has not been yet released; I therefore pray that your excellency would be pleased to order that the council act in conformity to it without the least delay.
