d completely helpless. Our Governor is located at the Naval School, and is seldom seen or heard from. The people here are exceedingly indignant at the action of the Executive, and many are of opinion that he is acting a treacherous part towards the people. Strong threats are freely expressed, and were it not for the friendly troops who surround him, he would, in all probability, be very respectfully invited to leave. In the American, of Thursday, we find the following: Lieut. Elliott, with a posse of policemen, proceeded at an early hour yesterday morning, on the Philadelphia Railroad to Stemmer's Hon. distant nine miles from the city, and took possession of a train of thirteen cars. Of the number three contained 183 barrels of pork, in all over 36,000 pounds, while the remaining ten were loaded with accoutrements for a large force, consisting of clothing, &c., with large quantities of flour and other stores. Under the charge of an engineer, the cars were brought b

gotiators had succeeded with the States General. On the contrary, the Congress declared, by resolution, that they would not enter into any negotiation to which France was not a party. England then applied to France and Spain; but France was, at the time, in expectation of making great conquests in the West Indies, and Spain could not resign her hope of regaining Gibraltar. The defeat, however, of Count De Grasse by Admiral Rodney, and the repulse of the great attack upon Gibraltar by General Elliott, caused all parties to lower their tone. All had suffered severely; Great Britain by losses in the West Indies, and the destruction of a whole army at Yorktown, France by Rodney's victory and disasters in the East Indies, and Spain by the destruction of the enormous armament she had prepared against Gibraltar.--All were exhausted by the prodigious efforts they had made, and all were anxious for peace. Under such circumstances, the British ministry sent commissioners to Paris to treat

The Regiment paraded in overcoats, and looked exceedingly well. In marching down Main street, the spectacle presented was quite imposing.--After returning to the Square, the Regiment was reviewed by Col. Moore, and we noticed that the Band, instead of playing National airs, as on similar anniversaries heretofore, played the Marsellaise. The Colonel then dismissed his command. The Grays remained on the Square, and gave the throng of spectators an opportunity of witnessing some of their s

The bells were tolled and minute guns fired during the march of the column. A salute of three rounds was fired by the infantry and artillery over the grave.
