^M .BOSTON, October 19.
Our intelligence fr .m Enaland, relative
to the "concerns of this country, is rather fa-
vorable, than otherwise, to the continuance
of peace between the two 'countries ; for in
every interview which our minister has bad
with the British f* wernment, no evidence
•whatever ot an unfriendly disposition has
been discovered ; but, on the contrary, eve-
ry in irk of respect is shawn to the represen-
tative of our government—and every claim,
or question of right noticed and discussed
with candor, frankness and deliberation,
Ws speak from information deri »ed through
private sources'; not from the interested
clamours of newspaper speculation. From
this state of things, ..we are van-anted in say-
ing; that if an amicable adjustment of the
differences, relative to the Chesapeake, and
of the disputed points in the treaty, do hot
take place, ths fault will be found on our
side of the question—and to have arisen
from a higher and prouder assumption of
prerogative, than Great-Britain ever claim
ed of this, or any other country.

THE PtN-E ARTS.
On Saturday some very valuable pictures
were sold at. Mr. Christie's rooms, in Pall
mall, but that by which the. collection was
eminently distinguished was the •uiohian ta-
ken 'in adultery, the celebrate 1 chef d'ceu«u-
of i'tMCRANivr. There are some circmii
stances in the history pf this picture w lioh
deserve to be staled, [t was painted by
Rembrandt for his patron the burgorhastet
S:k, and occupied seven months of the ar-
tists time It 1 emained in the Burgomaster's
family until last year, when his descendant,
who was ruined by the revolution in Holland,
found himself under the necessity of selling
this last memorial of the Kaste and mtinifi
ceuce of his ancestor. The purchaser was
obliged to use great precautions to prevent
it from falling into the hands of those rapa-
cious agents of Bonaparte, who are erapl >y-
ed to plunder every country that has fallen
under his power of its best works of art.
The picture was secretly moved ro a oort ¦¦.
the r.altic, whene it was shipped for England.
Since it has been i. Mr. Chri.nie's fvom*
sir Francis Baring offered 4000 guineas for
it ; but it was finally knocked down at 5000.
As a painting, it has never been excelled.
There is a kind of magic effect produced by
its color, after which we search in vain among
the known principles & common practices ot
art. A magnificence, a splendor & brilliancy,
are united with a delicacy, freshness are..
transparency, which has never been rivalled

-and whilst every thing that the pallet
could supply has been tributary to the artist'*
hand, the whole has been so skilfully subdu-
ed, and kept down to its proper tone anri
just harmony, that nothing has been left
predominant, or decided, or gaudy. By
the most happy union and contrast, a regu
larity of effect has beei d.ffused over the
whole ; and whilst the most powerful colors.

Fellow-citizcr.s of the southern states and
territories, be upon your guard ! Thirty
Convict ffegraet, (torn Jamaica, have b:en
brought into this pert, in the schr. Brother
and Sister, which arrived on Monday even-
ing. Tbey were transportud by the govern-
ment of Jamaica, no doubt, fer crimes
which rendered it dangerous for them to be
perrrfitted to remain there, and which may
render it equal.y dangerous for us to admit
them into any of the Southern stales or terri-
tories. It is not probable that they will be
let loose upon us here, but they may at
New-Orleans which will be as b..d.
I hope that some measures may be adopt-
ed to prevent the scounngs of the Jamaica
goals from being thrown upon our shores,
and that the scape gallows' wretches of the
West-Indies may not be suffered to be land-
ed in any part of the United States or our
tnitories. I hope that our police officers
will he vigilant to prevent them from mix-
ing and associating with onr negroes, and
if the law will authorise it, that they may
be confined during their continuance in port.
The following copy of the schooner's
clearance, will prove the fact of these ne
tiroes being criminals sentenced for trans-
portation.

editor, nothing shall now be said. To
sho the true cause of the failure ol the
democratic candidate, we shall devote tha
present paper ; our remarks will principally
apply to the effects produced in the democra-
tic party bv the nomination of Win. Duane.
It will not be denied by the most mta«
tnated partizans of Dr. Leib that there are
among the republicans iu this district, a great !
many -¦¦ ho could not, on anv consideration,
be induced to vote lor a man, of whim they
have so ill an opinion, as they bave of him.
Mr. Duane has from his dev tedness, all
those enemies. & many more, which the vio-
lence of his temper, the overbearingness of
his manner, and his frequent denunciations
have made him. Not content with all
those, at the'very eve of the election, he de-
nounced active, zealous democrats as any in
the city, without any assigned reason, but
that they did not think Dr. Leib, either as
a man or a politician, so pure as he might
and ought to be. I would instance Mr.
M'Giathery, a man lor many years known
as an active democrat always on the elec-
tion ground from morn till night ; yet he
was denounced : the real reason I have
ttated ; the objections of Mr. Duane were,
that Mr. M'Giathery had a pious lock and
swig psalms ! This conduct disgusted many
people, and lost very many vo'es.
Let us mark the. cause and manner in
which Mr. Duane was taken up, and then
ask ourselves whether there was. or was not,
any objection to either upon democratic
principles. '¦
Mr. Duane has frequently taken occasion
in public, and in private, m print and in
conversation, to declare, that be •would ac-
cept no ijfiee:. that he would not subject his
paper to the suspicion of being influenced
by any personal considerations. The decla
ration was applauded and approved, and be-
lieved to be sincere. Aftei the election for
bank directors last year, some persons were
condoling with Duane on his having been
rejected—he however treated the thing very
Cavaherly, and said, " What do I want ?
Am I not the editor of the Aurora, and
the C' lonel of a regiment, and what more
he might probably be prevailed upon to make
a still greater •' Sacrifice uf his time ar.d
talents," and go to senate where he might
probably be of more service to his friends,
than he could have been had he even been
eligible to go to congiess. After much par-
leying, soothing, Mattering and threatening,
consent was wrung from him, and joy and
gladness again ill.unified all thi ir happy
faces. Upon looking at the printed list of
candidates it was found that the name of
William Duane was no where to be found,
and an objection « assarted to the possibility
of getting him t.«ken up in the general ward
committee. A cure fur the evil was soon
provided, and every man went forth rejoicing
and proclaiming with a loud voice, that the
people had determined to take up Duane
as their candidate foi the senate.
In the ward committee Duane had a ma-
jority, the printed list of resolutions to the
contrary notwithstanding. It is not for us
to divine what .where the motives and views
of many a ho voted to put him on the tick-
et, still less would it be proper to insinuate
that any voted to put him on the ticket sim-
ply to she » h'm the true state of the public
opinion as it respects him, and in the hope
dirough mortification and repentance, to
produce a reformation. When the Confer-
rees from the city and county, and county
of Delaware met, they put Mich.,ei Le>b
into the chair, and Michael Leib took the
votes of the Conferrees, not as is usual, by
ballot, but viva -voce. It ». ould be veiy
rong for any one to suppose tha! Dr. Leib
did so in order to intimidate any of the con-
ferees who would not vote for Duane, by
holding the Aurora in terrorem over their
heads. William Duane had a majority, he
was put on the ticket, and the consequence
is that he is 1,240 v.. tes lower than his op-
ponent.

FINE ARTS.
Those gentlemen who have patronized
the establishment of the •• Pennsylvania

in hearing of its progres and succ.es&, and
indeed when the uses of this institution
shall begin to unfold themselves, and it
shall become a sehool for the encouragement
of American Genius, and the improvement
of oar own Artists, the> public will disco-
ver more generally, how much it is interest-
ed in its growth.

WASHINGTON CITY, October 23.
Several of the British prints, in announ-
cing the arrival of the Revenge, state the
existence of a rumor that the American go
vemment had required an answer to their re-
presentations within, four days, and deduce
from this circumstance tbwr anti-pacific
tamper. It may be satisfactory to statt,
that this rumor is altogether unfounded.—
No such demand has been made, nor has any
definite time been prescribed for receiving
an answer. It is true, that a prompt an-
swer is expected, and there can be no doubt
but that, if the British ministry wish to
^maintain peace between the two countries,
.a prompt answer will be given. \_lntil.'\
A Considerable number of the members of
the national legislature have already arrived
in the tity ; and there does not. exist a doubt
of a quorum of the two houses being form-
ed on Monday. If so, it is probable the
message of the president will be delivered
on Tuesday.
Owing to their present scattered resi-
dence it is impracticable to collect the names
of all those members who have arrived. We
can, however, state the arrival of Messrs.
Fisk, Lewis, Troup, Johnson, Fiudley and
Tiffin.
It is always with reluctance that we re-
cord villainy in any shape ; but it is with
particular regret we notice the following
daring assault committed within the limits
of this city : On f uesday evening, about
dusk, on his return from visiting a friend in
New Jersey avenue, on the brow of the hill,
Mr. Elzey Burroughs was attacked by fvo
foot-pads who presented pistols on each
side of him, and demanded his money ; on
his answering that he had none, one of them
replied, •' You are a liar, sir ; it is in a bun-
dle ol papers in your pocket ;" and at the
same time put his hand into Mr. B's pock-
et, and drawing from it a bundle ot papers,
took off the money in bank-notes to the
amount of 3400 dollars, which he had that
day received from the bank in this city.—
We understand that no trace is yet disco-
vered of the perpetrators of this outrage.
