HARRISBURG (Penn.) December 27.
Jameson's Esnape.
Early on Saturday evening last, James
Jameson, one of the convicts Confined in the
jail of this place, and ¦ bo was to have been'
executed on Monday next, as a principal ifi
a cruel and deliberate murder and robfosry,
made his escape out ofthe 'do'ors of the pri-
son.
Never, perhaps, was the pobiie mind more
agitated than this unlucky and vexatious af-
fair has now excited. I The frequentcscapes
of this notorious offender—the uncommon
solicitude expressed by the president & jud-
ges of the court, at and after the trial—Ihe
strict and repeated charges of the sheriff to
ths jailer—and the anxiety displayedby our
¦ ;mnes and the inhabitants in general,
far the' sa'fc-kccping of this hardentd ntur-
deroue villain, all conspire, to render his es-
cape in the eye of the public, perhaps one of
the most unfortunate and disgraceful ciicum-
stanees that ever befel Dauphin county';
¦ besides plunging- the jailer and his family
(the head of which has heretofore been re-
marked for his integrity) from a state of ease
and happiness, into the most unpleasant si-
tuation. That the prisoner had the assis-
tance of some person or persons to free him-
self from his irons*, no reasonable mind can
doubt. Besides the family of the jailer, se-
veralother persons suspected, are held in
durance, and must stand their trial ; several
of the magistrates have been engaged during
the whole «eek. in examining witnesses,
&c. what the testimony amounts to will be
hereafter explained ; in the mean time it is
to be hoped that the prejudice of the public
mind maybe allayed ; and /that the attenti-
on of every individual will rather be turned
towards the means forcapturing the fugitive.
It is likewise hoped, that all printers of news-
papers in the United States, will contribute
their friendly aid by inserting the adver-
tisement from this day's Oracle, respecting
him. They may rest assured it is not an
affair of trifling import ; society at large are
deeply interested in arresting the career of
a wretch, the bare mention of whose rob-
beries would appal the human feeling, and
whose cruelties have been crimsoned with
the deepest dye.

. WASHINGTON, January 5.
We understand that detailed inibrmation
has been received of the arrangements be-
tween general Wilkinson and the command-
ers of the Spanish forces. It appears that
the American troops marched from Natchi-
toches on the 23d of October, and had on
the ,31st taken their position on the left
bank of the Sabine. When they arrived
there:, they found the Spanish forces on the
right bank directly opposite, who, on the
6th of November, fell back to Nacogdoches.
¦ No formal convention has been entered
into, but letters had been received by gene-
ral Wilkinson, wdii'ch contained assurances
on the part of'the Spanish commanders that
their troops should retain their present po-
sition, whicljt-.is at N?'-ogdoches, rnlil the
result of the pending ncgociatioiis were
known.
In consequence of thesp arrangements,
general Wilkinson, hadcntheGih of No-
vember, moved the greater part of his to.ces
towards-N. Orleans, where it was his pur-
pose to concentre the whole of his strength,
as well that which should be formed by re-
gulars, as by volunteers and militia. With
this view, the troops from Mob.lle had been
ordered to N. Orleans. About 100 men re-
mained at Natchitoches. The dates aie not
later tl.ant.be J4di of November, when ^en.
Wilkinson was at Natchez.

TUESDAY, JiiNVARY 6.
From a Correspondent.
By the following mcr-sajre it will appear
that every effort was made by the senate, to
have the money in our treasury usefully in-
vested ; but nothing would satitfy the house
of delegates but that the Farmer's Bank
should have it all.
BY THE SENATE,
.Jan. .}, 1807..
Gentlemen of the House of Delegates,
We have negatived your rssolution di-
, ,re.cti,ng, the, treasurer to subscribe-for 1600
!srures.in the Fanner's Bank, which accord-
ing.to the report of the joint committed of
both bouses, would take the. whole of the
money at this time in the¦treasmy. that Can
be with certainty invested,. We consider
.that the Frederick am} Reister's Town,
turnpike roads, are«bjeflts for.which (he best
interests of the State demand our. fostering
band and assistance. The Mechanics' Bank
as also being an institution which pr< rnises
aid and assistance to that valuable class of
citizens, the mechanic;—-wc think also well
entitled to the patronage of the stale. If
you vvill .originate, resolutions in your house,
for investing the, sums of forty thousand
dollars in the Farmers Bank ; ten thousand
¦in the Frederick turnpike ; and ten thou-
sands dollars in the Reister's Town turnpike
road?*; and twenty thousand dollars in the
Mechanic;.' Bank, they will meet the appro-
bation of the senate.
We seriously call to your attention the
necessity of investing the money in the
treasury, in some safe and useful invest-
ments ; and thereby prevent the loss that
would result to the state, by suffering such
a sum to remain unemployed.
On agreeing to the foregoing message,
the votes stood as follow :
Affirmat>-vr—Patridge, Williams, Shriver,
Lowry, M'Elderry, Smithson, Wheatly.
Negative— Thomas, Gibson, Dorsey.
