CONGRESS. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. DEBATE ON MR WEBSTER’S RESOLU TIONS, CONTINUED Mr. YANCEY said, believing as he did, that upon the question now under consideration, he should give a vote very different from many of his political friends, lie begged leave briefly to state to the House the reasons which would induce him to co-opcrate with the gentlemen in the passage of the re solutions it was not because he believ ed that there was any necessary and ma terial information in the possession of the Executive which had not already been communicated on the contrary, he believed that all the information up on this subject was communicated at the last session. Upon looking to the resolution offered at the last session by the hon. gentleman from Maryland, I find, said he, that all the substance of the present resolutions is embraced in that, and more especially if we take into view the answer of the President to that resolution. The resolution then adopt ed by the House, required that the Pre sident should inform the House, a? what time, and in what manner, the promul gation of the French decree of the 28th of April, 1811, was announced to this government. In answer, sir, to that re solution, it will be seen by a reference to the Executive papers of last session, that the President transmitted to this House a letter from Mr Barlow of the Ist of May, 1812, to the Duke ©f Bassa no, stating that we know, indeed, that the French decrees do not apply to the United States but that the Prince Re rent, in his declaration of the Ist of April, declares that they are still unre voked and in order to remove all doubt upon that subject with the British gov ernment, Mr. Barlow requested in that let r that the Duke of Bassano would fu ish him with an authentic act of their revocation. It was furnished, sir, on he 10th of May, 1812, together with the decree of the 28th of April, 1811. Now. sir. though in the resolution offer ed by the hon. gentleman from Mary land, at the last session, it is not asked "by whom” the decree was announced to this government; yet the answer of the President furnished the House with that Ec—and it is shewn by Mr. Bar low’s letter of the 12th of May, commu nicat'd by the President, that the first intelligence to this government was re ceived from its accredited minister. The resolution, therefore, Mr. Speaker, now under consideration, does not ma terially differ from the one adopted at the last session for though it was not moulded in that interrogatory form which this assumes, yet it is substantial ly the same. I believe, sir, the whole of the information sought for is suffi ciently expressed in the first resolution, the one now under consideration yet I shall vote for the whole of those reso lutions. The last resolution, sir, I think objectionable in its phraseology, and also in its substance; but I shall give it my support But let it be dis tinctly understood, at the same time, that I do not support those resolutions because I think there is any information in the possession of the Executive, which was withholden in violation of the resqlution of the last session, or that uny suspicion of unfairness attaches to the administration in their foreign rela tions with G. Britain and France. From the conduct of the particular friends of these resolutions during this discussion, I believe it would be a source of great gratification to them if they were rejecti d; and so far, sir, as my vote goes; I am determined to disap point them. I think it, sir, much better for the administration that they should pass—not that I expect it will soothe the opposition, or produce any import ant information to the nation. But, sir, the gentlemen on the other side of the House, not content with dis cussing the merits of those resolutions, have mingled in the debate our foreign relations. By way of shewing the im portance and value of the resolutions, and the good that will flow from them to the country, they tell us that the an swer to those resolutions will shew one, or both, of two facts, to wit; that if the French repealing decree of the 28th of April had been known to the govern ment before the declaration of war, it would have prevented it: and, 2dly, that if this decree was not communicated to our government before the declaration of war, (which they admit to be the fact) then the Duke of Bassano, in his con versation with Mr. Barlow, has told a falsehood. Now, sir, permit me to re mark, that if the gentlemen think it im portant to their cause, or are otherwise solicitous to prove a falsity on the Duke, let them do so—l w«nt nothing to con vince me cf the political hypocrisy and perfidy of that government. Admitting that the French repealing decree had been formally communica ted to this government before the decla ration of war; nay, that it had been even communicated to the British govern ment in April, 1811, when it purports to be dated; still he did not see how gentlemen could bring their mind to be lieve that that decree would have avert ed the war, without they knew the se crets of the British government better than its accredited minister—nay, with out they knew the intention of that gov ernment better than the ministry and Prince Regent himself. And, sir, if any thing can be said in addition to what was so fully illustrated the other day by the luminous argument of my politi cal friend from Tennessee (Mr. Grun dy) I beg leave to suggest it. The non intercourse act of Congress, passed in the.. Spring of 1810. declared that it either G. Britain or France would re peal or so modify their decrees or orders in council that they should cease to vio late the neutral commerce of the United States, and the other failing to repeal her orders within three months there after, that the U. States would take de cisive steps against the one so failing to repeal. In /Vugust, 1810, the French government by its official act pledged itself to our government that the Berlin and Milan decrees were repealed and should cease to operate on the Ist of April following. Since which time, he defied the gentlemen to shew that they had been enforced by order of that gov ernment. Previous to this time, however, it is worthy of remark, that the British gov ernment only required of us, that France should repeal her orders as respected the U. S. and she solemnly pledged her that she would repeal her orders pari passu, with the repeal of the decrees as respected the U S But, sir, what was her conduct upon this occasion instead of repealing or promise of repealing, as France had done, she advances in her doctrine, and contends that America must now procure France to repeal her decrees, not only as respected herself, but as respected all other neutral powers. How then, sir, might it be asked, could the promulgation of the French repealing decree have prevented the war Would it have produced a re peal of the Orders in Council It would not if the British government arc to be believed. The declaration of the Prince Regent of the 2lst of April; the correspondence between Mr. Fos ter and the Secretary of State of the 1 Oth of June and again on z the 14th of June, a few days before the declaration of war, are conclusive orvfhis point. But, sir, if we need better evidence to establish the fact, than the correspondence of the accredited minister of England, permit me, sir, to refer the gentleman to the speeches of the ministry in Par liament during the month rof February, 1812 they will see, sir, that Mr. Rose and Mr. Percival,during that discussion, which grew out of the. examination and investigation of the Orders in Council in the House of Commons, have frank ly and honestly acknowleged that which the gentlemen upon this occasion deny Mr. Rose expressly says, that they are maintained to promote the trade of England at the expence of neutrals, and as a measure of commercial rivalry with the United States.” Mr. Percival in his speech says, that they are not only supported upon their principle of retaliation, but that this principle in volved the licence trade, that neither the partial nor total repeal ©f the Ber lin and Milan decrees as they related to America, or to any other nation, or all other nations, would form any claim on the British government, while the continental system, so called, continued in operation It is not unimportant, sir, ip the ex amination of this question to mark, that the French repealing decree was trans mitted to the British government on the 20th of May 1812, during the examin ation of the Orders in Council in the House of Commons. No answer, sir, is given to them (except a bare acknow ledgement of their receipt) till the 23d of June following. On the 16th of June Mr Brougham brought forward his motion for a consideration of the Orders in Council, to take place the last of the same month. In the mean time, sir, the British ministry, consulting place Sc power and that democratic spirit of the manufacturing part of the community, thought it expedient to make use of the repealing decree of France us a suitable pretext, upon which to revoke their or ders m Council It will be seen, then, sir, that I ascribe the repeal wf the or ders to a very different cause, than that adopted by the other side of the House The cause undoubtedly was the ex treme pressure and oppression they brought upon the manufacturing inter est of the country. He said he expected the other day, when his learned and eloquent col league (Mr. Gaston) addressed the House, that all doubt upon this part of the subject would have been removed that he would, as had been promised by some gentlemen on that side, demon strate the fact, that the declaration of war depended upon the promulgation of the French repealing decree. He had expected, that if any man among them was able to establish this proposition, it was his colleague; but, sir, said he J when he embraced that part of the dis cussion, he exhibited himself upon a hobby too feeble to carry him, with a load too heavy to be borne by him. What, sir, was the argument he used to prove the fact Why, that after the repealing decree was produced to G. Britain, she did repeal her orders. Yes, sir, it is true she did suspend them (or if gentlemen please repeal them) when she told you, in the same instrument, that the repeal was not such as she had before required. I will take the liberty, sir, to remark that it is foreign from my intention to wound the feelings of any individual; but, sir, I know not how any individu al, friendly to a prosecution of the war, rather than surrender rights essential to the independence of the country, can think for a moment of the observations made the other day by a member irom New-York, without feeling for him and his political opinions the greatest ab horrence and contempt. Upon what principal of argument or reason is it, that that member has discovered that all who aid either directly or indirectly in the prosecution of this war, arc mur derers [(Here Mr. Grosvenor from N. York rose to explain. Mr. Yancey informed him he did not allude to him, and pro ceeded J Had that gentleman considered, sir, that there were other persons from N. York who had taken part in this debate, he might have saved himself the trou ble of rising. The same member (Mr. Shipherd) has asked triumphantly for what are we fighting? If it were butterflies. I had supposed, Mr. Speaker, from the num ber of law-speeches he had made this session, his legal knowledge would have taught him to discriminate be tween the rights of butterflies, and the rights of men. But, sir, permit me to inform the gentleman, that we are pro secuting this war for the rights of sea men, and I hope, sir, we shall con tinue to do so, till they are established upon a principle that will do equal jus tice to ourselves and to others. Debate to be contmuedf THE HERO OF HAVRE-DE-GRACE. FROM THE AURORA. Several gentlemen of this city, duly appreciating the example of intrepidity shewn by Mr. John O’Neill, of Havre de-Grace, in the attack made upon that place by the British, determined to pre sent him with a sword, as a testimony of their esteem. The following letter accompanied the presentation of the sword Philadelphia, July 4, 1813 Slß—lmpressed with a high sense of your brave and patriotic exertions, in defence of your fellow-citizens of Havre-de-Grace and desirous of evincing our esteem for your mag nanimous conduct—we request your accep tance of the sword which accompanies this communication; and that it may remain in your family as a testimony of the regard and esteem in which your character and conduct is held by, S ir, in behalf of a few of your fellow-citizens of Philadelphia. Yours, most respectfully, HENRY RICHMOND. Mr. John O’Neill, Havre-de-Grace, Maryland. To which Mr. O’Neill returned the following reply Havre-de-Grace, Juli/ 6. Slß—Your communication of the 4th inst. I duly received, together with your inestima blejpresent, for which 1 teturn my most grateful thanks to my fellow-citizens of Philadelphia. If any other motive besides patriotic zeal should stimulate me to use it, there certainly c >u!d be none more effective than receiving it from the patriotic citizens of Philadelphia If fortune favors me with an opportunity of us ing it in defence of my adopted country, it will be made use of to the utmost of mypower and after my exit from this earthly globe, according to,your. request, it shall remain in mv family, wi.h that one of my four sons whom I sh.ll think most worthy of wearing it. with an injunc tion never to draw’it but in defence of his country. At present I am on parole of honor, and anxiously waiting for information of being exchanged, which gen. Miller of Balt, has pro mised to ’nave done as soon as possible. It is a lieart rending reflection for me to think, if the in struments of that maniac (king George) should make an attempt any where within my ability ol attending, that I could not assist ir repelling them. Ir tiie merciless blood-hounds attempt Baltimore, as they say they will, 1 am fearful that 1 cannot try the metal of the sword, on ac count of not being exchanged but Providence may be so propitious as to grant me the oppor tunity. Recieve for yourself and your fellow-citizens of Philadel.hia, the thanks of your faithful a dopted citizen. JOHN O’NEILL. Mr. Henry Richmond. SUCCESSFL’L PRIVATEERING. The privateer brig Anaconda, Capt. Shaler, of New York, arrived at Ocru co< k, (N. C.) on the 4th inst. from a prosperous cruize. The A. had on board 75,000 dollars in specie, captur ed from an English Ix’ig, called the King’s Packet, bound from Rio Janei ro to England, w hich she fell in with on the 14th Muy, in the lat. of the Cape de Verds. The bri-gmounted 14 twelve pound carronades, and hadon board 230 stand of small arms. She fought the privateer 45 minutes, when the flag was struck, and again hoisted, union down her spars and rigging were cut to pieces, and she had five feet water in the hold. The A. received no injury. After removing the specie and other valuables on board the privateer, capt. Shaler ransomed the brig for eight thou sand dollars. The Anaconda, short ly after captured the brig M try from Gibraltar bound to Brazil, with a cargo of wine and silks, invoiced at 885,000, and the brig Harriet, bound from Bue nos Ayres to London, laden with hides nd tallow cargo invoiced at 100,000 dollars. The Anaconda landed her specie at Edenton, from whence we understand, it has been transmitted to Tarborough to be deposited in the vaults of the bank at that place. Norfolk Herald. CREEK INDIANS. PROM THE GEORGIA JOURNAL. The Creek Indians at present exhibit a curious and interesting spectacle, be ing at war with each other in conse quence of the Little Warrior and his followers having been punished for the murders which they committed at the mouth of Ohio last summer, while re turning from a visit to the British on the Lakes. The strength of both parties is supposed to be nearly equal. It is said by a Chief who has come in for protec tion, that each is embodying a consider able force, and that a decisive battle m^y be shortly expected. The peace party, however, being apprehensive of the is sue, have entrenched themselves we understand in the town ofTookaubat chee, and sent to the Governor for as sistance. A message from Col. Haw kins was received on Friday lust, com municating the request. It is not yet known what part we shall take in the business, if any. But as we are avow edly the next object of attack in case the friendly Indians are put down, steps should at least be taken to guard our own frontier from danger, or we may soon see its inhabitants flying before the uplifted tomahawk, and the forest gleaming with the light of their dwell ings. Since the above was in type, the fol lowing interesting articles have been handed us for publication Extract of a letter from Col Hawkins to the Governor, dated Creek Agency, 27th June, 1813. A Civil War is commencing among the Creeks. The Chiefs and Warriors who, in obe dience to the orders of the Council of the Na tion, put to death the Little Warrior and his associates who murdered the two families on Ohio in February, have been attacked, and six killed by the Alabama prophets and associates. If the Chiefs and Warriors now assembling at Tookaubatchee should be unable to restrain their fanaticism and ferocity, they will become hostile to the U. States. I received a letter from Gen. Wilkinson of the 22d, yesterday—he was coming on 170 miles from this—expected to be joined by an escort of 30 men, mounted, the next day. Me had set out under impres sions of perfect safety, from the calm which prevaded this country after the execution of the murderers, and had dismissed his escort— received the first accounts of the confusion pre vailing at Tookaubutchee on the road, and sent back for them. If I had any mounted men near me, I would escort him. Extract of a letter from Mr. Limbaugh, Assistant Agent, dated Creek Agency, June 28. Gen. Wilkinson is now in the nation on his way to the north. He has sent an express to colonel Hawkins, apprehending an attack from the war party. Capt. Isaacsas not killed as was reported. He got safe to Tookaubatchee —his wife and five others were. The Cussetaus and Cowetaus have all marched for Tookaubatchee to join the friendly Indians. The force of both parties is equal as yet, but lam fearfnl the war-party will g tto be the strongest, as their numbers increase daily. Since the evacuation of Hampton the enemy has been gradually disappearing from our waters. The shipping up James River have all come down at dif ferent times within a few days past, and many of them have gone to sea. The force in the Roads yesterday consisted of two 74’s (the admiral’s ships) one 64, two frigates, three brigs and a large number of small schooners, or tenders, which last were employed the greater part of the day in passing between the larger vessels. Two frigates off Wil loughby’s and a 74 in Lynnhaven. The troops that were landed on Old Point (noticed in our last) struck their tents on Wednesday, and re-embarked. There did not appear to be more than 200 of them. The recent movements of the enemy have induced a general belief, that he intends to withdraw the principal part of his force from this place (leaving a sufficiency to maintain the blockade) for the purpose of making an attack at some other point. Worthington, Ohio, June 24 General Harrison, we are informed, has held a council with the Indian chiefs, who were in Franklinton, to whom he made the three following pro positions To take up arms in behalf of the U States To remove within our settlements and remain neutral Or to go to the enemy and seek his protec tion, and be debarred from ever amica bly returning to the territories they now inhabit. After a short consultation among themselves, it was agreed that the first was the one of their choice, and they have determined to prepare themselves, and offer^their services, which gen. Harrison agreed to accept. They have gone to their homes.

Bookseller, Georgetown, April s—— WASHINGTON CITY. TUESDAY, JULY 13. OUR RELATIONS WITH FRANGE. The answer of the Executive to tl Resolution of the House of Represe tatives respecting the time, place, ma ner, &c. of the first communication this government of the decree pu porting to be a definitive repeal of tl French decrees of Berlin and Mila was yesterday transmitted to the Hou of Representatives in the form of a R port from the Secretary of State, is an able and valuable state paper considerable length, and will occup several columns of our next paper. The report embraces the followin facts, stated in distinct and unequivoc; terms: That the first intelligent which this govt, received us the Fr. di cree of the 28th April, 1811, was con municated by Mr. Barlow, in a lettt bearing date on the 12th May, 18 U which was received by this departmer on the 13th July following: that th first intimation to Mr. Barlow of th existence of that decree, as appears b his communications, was given by th Duke of Bassano, in an informal con ference on some day between the Is and 10th of May, 1812, and that the o! ficial communication of it to Mr. Bai low was made on the 10th ofthatmonf at his request: that Mr. Barlow trans mitted a copy of that decree, and of th Duke of Bassano’s letter, announcin it, to Mr. Russell, in a letter of Ma 11th, in which he also informed Mi Russell, that the Duke of Bassano ha< stated that the decree had been dul communicated to him that Mr. Rus sell replied in a letter to Mr. Barlow o the 29th May, that his first knowledge of this decree Was derived from hi; letter, and that he has repeatedly stat ed the same since to this government Norfolk, July 9 The Secretary of State reports al so that no communication of the de creeof the 28th April, 1811, was evei made to this government by the Minis ter of France, or other person, than as is above stated, and that no explanation of the cause of its not having beer communicated to this government anc published at the time of its date, was ever made to this government, or so far as it is informed to the representatives or agents of the U. States in Europe. The Minister of France has been asked to explain the cause of a proceeding apparently so extraordinary and excep tionable, who replied that his first in telligence of that decree was received by the Wasp, in a letter from the duke of Bassano of Muy 10th, 1812, in which he expressed his surprize excit ed by Mr. Barlow’s communication, that a prior letter of May, 1811, in which he had transmitted a copy of the decree for the information of this government, had not been received. Mr. Secretary Monroe, after this, enters into an examination of the actual state of our foreign relations, to which it would be doing great injustice to at tempt an abbreviation of it. We can not, however, forbear quoting the last paragraph of this most important re port, the whole of which our readers, of whatever political -character, will pe ruse with the greatest interest, and, we venture to say, with the most entire conviction, if not satisfaction. It was anticipated by some, .that a declaration of war against G. Britain would force the U. States into a close connection with her adversary, moch to their disadvantage. The Secretary of State thinks it proper to remark, that nothing is more remote from the fact. The discrimination in favor of France, according to law, in consequence of het acceptance oi the proposition made equally to both powers, produced a dif ference between them in that special case, but in that only. The war with England was declared without any con cert or communication with the French government; it has produced no con nection between the U. States and France, or any understanding as to its prosecution, continuance or termination, The ostensible relation between the two countries, is the true and only one. The United States have just claims on France for spoliations on their com merce on the high seas, and in the ports of France, and their late minister was. and their present minister is, instructed to demand reparation for these injuries, «nd to press it with the energy due to the justice of their claims and to the character of the U. States.”

Hall, Grosvenor, Hanson, Schureman, Coxe, Miller, Wilcox,De noyelles, and Skinner, obtained leave of absence. Mr. Dawson, from the committee of the District of Columbia, reported the bill from the Senate to establish a Fire Insurance Company in Alexandria; and Mr. Bond reported a bill to authorise the laying out and opening a road from Shawanet town on the Ohio, to the town Kaskaskia in the Illinois territory; and both of said bills were ordered to lie on the table. The bill for the relief of Edwin T. Satterwhite the bill to provide for the widows and orphans of militia slain in the service of the U. S. and the bill for the relief of Alex. Scott; were read a 3d time and passed. The bill from the Senate supplemen tary to the several acts for establishing an uniform rule of naturalization, as amended by this House, was read a 3d time. Mr. Kennedy, after adverting to the clause which limits the privilege of na turalization to those aliens who have made a declaration of their intention to become citizens, to which limitation 0 0 0 3 34 he objected, moved that the bill should lie on the table, to afford to him and O’ hers an opportunity more maturely to examine its provisions with that of existing laws. Mr. Roberts, who conceived there was some inconsistency or indefinite icss in the provisions of the bill, sug gested the propriety of referring it to select committee. Mr. Kennedy consenting to wave his motion, in favor of re< ommitment— The bill was re-committed to a select ommittee of three members. For recommitment 57 Against it 53. The unfinished business was resum 'd, viz. the consideration of the bill “to relinquish the claims of the U. States to certain goods, wares and merchan dize captured by private armed ves s Is.” [This bill releases all right and claim ceruing to the U S under the non-im portation laws, to goods, wares or mer chandize the property of British sub jects, shipped from British ports since the declaration of war, which have been c ^ptured by private armed vessels on the high and open seas, have been li belled and claimed in the courts of the U. S in all casts where such goods, See. shall be condemned as priz of war, for the benefit of the captors &c. j The question pending at the last ad journment, was on a motion for indefi nite postponement. 1 his question hav ing been taken, was decided m the ne gative. For indefinite postponement 53 Against it 78 Messrs. Benson, Farrow and Shcjfcy opposed the passage of the bill, and .essrs Roberts. Rhea, W. Alston and Wright supported it. The question on the passage of the bill was carried by the following vote For the bill 79 Against it 64 A motion made by Mr. Benson, on Saturday, to direct the joint committee which was heretofore appointed to en quire and report is to the time when the House may adjourn, also to enquire when Congress may next meet, was ta ken up and agreed to. On motion of Mr. Bibb, the House again resolved itself into a committee of the whole on the several ttx bills. After a sitting of two or three hours, the committee rose and reported the progress they h .d made MR. WEBSTER’S CALL. A message was received from the President of the United States, through Mr. Graham, transmitting a report of the Secretary of State in reply to the resolution calling for certain informa tion in relation to French affairs which, being much too long for publi cation to-day, we are reluctantly com pelled to postpone to our next, when, notwithstanding its length, we will make room for the whole of it. The report was read and ordered to lie on the table. U°MMUNICATED for publication.] At New London, Con. it appears that the danger of an attack from the British is in a great degree at an end. The fortifications are still strengthening, and the militia in garrison adequate to any expected purpose. So great is the zeal of the federalists to defend the place, that we understand a regiment was bro’t in horn W odsrnck which, it is declared, does not contain a single democrat. A good under standing appears to be kept up between the commander on shore, gen. Isham, and com. Hardy, by means of flags. And the zeal of the generlto preserve order in the city is so great, that on the sth inst. he ordered a company of his Woodstock troops to take a gun from a company of citizens who were celebrating In dependence and had come to his quarters to pay him a salute, and the troops charged upon the citizens and pricked them with their bayo nets. A civil judge, also, Perkins, ordered a deputy sheriff o arrest capt. Champlain, of the privateer Joel Barlow, on the occasion, but was not obeyed So that on the whole there appears to be less probability of fighting the British than the democrats. Nor is there much danger of that, unless the land forces should get strong en .ugh to drive Com. Decatur’s Squadron out of the harbor, which he will un doubtedly take the first opportunity of leaving, and from which I wish him a safe and speedy deliverance. CONNECTICUTENSIS. RUSSIAN STATISTICS. TO THE EDITORS. The following Statistical Notices, translated from the St Petersburg Calender for the year 1811,” are deem ed worthy of publication—you will o blige a friend by inserting them in the National Intelligencer. N. B. The St. Petersburg Almanac is published under the direction ©f the Imperial Academy of Sciences, and may be relied on for the facts contained in it. A S. In the year 1809, the births in St. Petersburg were 3952 boys and 3704 girls, a total of 765 6 children; 156 few er than were born in the preceding year. Gs these, 731 were illegitimate, 39 still born, and 9 were found expos ed the illigitimate constitute from 1-11th to l-10th of the whole, and ex ceed those of 1808 by 58. The deaths ^mounted to 6130 males and 3428 fe males, a total of 9558 persons; being 4946 or about I-3d less than in the pre ceding, and only 1902 or about l-4th more than were born. Of these 55 died in consequence of wounds, and 461 from every other casually, viz. i 1 6 were drowned, 21 committed suicide —of these 13 hanged themselves, 6 cut their throats, and 2 shot themselves, and 1 female who hanged herself 31 from intemperate drinking, 1 was burnt, 1 from violence done by a horse, and 1 was killed by lightning. The marri ages which took place in the year 1809 amounted to 1462—0 f these 1 145 were between persons who professed the Greek religion, 267 between Protest ants, and 50 of the Roman Catholic re ligion boing 32 more than took place in 1808 Of these 1131 were between young persons who had not been pre viously married, 134 between young men and widows, 108 between widow ers and young women, 79 between wi dowers and widows, 6 between voung men and divorced females, 3 between divorced men and young women, and 1 between a widower and a divorced fe male. The greatest number of births (735, 710, and 690) occurr d in July, October, and January the fewest (556) happened in September The greatest number of marriages (333) took place, as is usual, in January the fewest (10, 20, 33, and 35) in March, June, Febru ary, and December, and more especial ly on account of the holidays they took place solely amongst persons of the same religion. The greatest num ber died in summer, viz in July 961, in Muy 943, in June 911 the fewest (549) in October, in September, No vember and December. Most died of colics (2858) they were for the great er part children, below the age of 5 years then from inflammatory Uvers 1894, of consumption 1807, generally between the 20th and 40th years, and 3 times as many men as women from diarrhoea 470, from small pox 127, all children in child-bed 66; from the ve nereal disease 1 6 of children below 5 years of age 3354 died, more than 1 3:1 of the whole ol the age from 20 to 25 years 768, whereof 539 were males; from 30 to 35 years 1100, whereof 870 were men from 40 to 45 years 934, whereof 750 were men. The periods mentioned are more fatal to males than to females in St. Petersburg. 127 per sons were above 80 years of age, 39 were above 85 years, 26 above 90 years, 2 men and 1 woman arrived to the age of 100 years. According to the declaration es the Synod, which includes those only who have embraced the Greco-Russian re ligion, there were born in th Russian empire, in the year 1808, 703.748 boys and 630,382 girls, making a total of 1,334,130 children, or 462 fewer than in the year 1807, and 12,035 fewer than in 1806. 465,552 males died, and 426,100 females, a total of 891 652, or 25 568 more than in the year 1807. and 46 149 more than in 1806. 331,611 couple were married, there were 42 823 more marriages than in the year 1807, and 57.833. or a sth part, more than in 1806—this great increase of the num ber of marriages is very remarkable. The number of births was greater than that of the deaths by 442.478 the na tural increase of population was 26 030 fewer than in the year 1807, and 58 184 fewer than in 1806. Under the age oi 5 years 191 300 noys, about 2-slhs died Amongst the males^who died (the age of the females not being noticed) 77,524 had passed the 60th year, 39.553 were above 70 years, 14.249 were above eighty years, 3538 above ninety years, 1658 were above fifty-nine years, 325 were above 100 years, 157 were above 105 years, 75 were above 110 years, 41 were above 1 15 years, 17 were above 120 years, 9 were above 125 years, 2 were above 130 years, and 1 of them ar rived nearly to the very uncommon age of 160 years.” [Accompanying this extract is a Notice of the Days, since the year 1718 when the Neva closed and open ed,” which shall be published at some future day.J FIFTY DOLLARS REWARD.
