from the piinlei'shand, we will not undertake to

correct the proof sheet. Is he takes that trouble

himself and notifies us of his intention, we will

insert it next week.

There was not a single armed vessel ofany nation at Tampico.

lay.Since the above was in type, we have

convej-&e- with, several respectable merchants wlro have received letters tromlampicoA who represent the circumstances of the death of the 28 men whowere shot, as entirely different from whatwe have stated, 'and that the barbaritywhich our informant alleges against theMexicans in this case, is quite unsoundedOur endeavor is alwavs to arrive attruth, but when wc are compelled to takeverbal information, it is very difficultWe therefore give our account for whatit is worth, without vouching for its au-

thenticity.A commercial friet d has been so kind

as to hand us a letter, from a highly res-

pectable merchant at Tampico, whichhvill be sound below. The conduct ofMehia's troops is very censurable, theyhaving made an attack upon a commer-cial house, where they knew there was alarge amount of specie.

Dear Sir: This 'morning twentv-eig- ht

I handyou enclosed a list of them,with a petition presentedto the MilitaryCommandant, by several foreigners andMexicans, drawn up and signed by theprisoners, but alas it was not in his pow-er to meet their solicitude. The papersenclosed were sent to me by the curatewho attended them in their last moments,they requested that they might be printed in New Urleans. The letter fromJonas H. Steward, and the petition tothe commandant, were given to me attheprisongale on Sunday morning. Ihad them translated into Spanish andpresented Ihem myself to the Command-ant and am satisfied, that had he thepower he would have complied with theirn.st request.

Tampico, Dec. 13, 1825.Dear fi lend: I will in as sew words

as possible give you intelligence of mysate, which is an untimely one. Tomorrow morning before sunrise, togetherwith 27 of my companions, we are to beshot, according to orders given to us by acourt martial of Mexican soldiers or offi

cers", for an attack on this city on the15th November last. I for my part amperlectly reconciled to my sate.

There is no use in giving the partic-ulars of the battle; I am pretty sure youmust have heard it before r I, at the timeof the engagement, received a wound inthe head with a ball, and another throughthe right hand. I have been in the hos-

pital until this afternoon from the mor-

ning of the battle. No money can saveus; even five thousand dollars was offer-ed for any individual; there was like-

wise offered one hundred thousand dol-

lars as .a ransom for all, which was refu-

sed. The reason of it is, they want todeter others from embracing the causeof liberty. This is a regular massacre.We should have been treated as prison-ers of war. I hope the American nationwill revenge our deaths. I have but asew hours to live so God bless you all!Jbarewell forever!

BRICK MACHINES.We consider it very doubtful whether the wager

proffered below will be accepted from any quarter.Sawyer's Machine, wherever known, is confe-sedl- y

so superior to all of its class, that no onewill be sound willing to thiow away his money bybetting agamst it: Louisville Jldv.

SAWYER'S PATENT.The o pera lions of this machine are with DR Y

ULJi X, which, when properly prepareo,yieios anarticle equal to the best Stock Brick, and at anexpense, as is estimated, of not more than onehalf that of manufacturing in the usual way.

There being, at this time, various machines be-

fore the public, the proprietor of the above patentis induced to invite a comparison of their respect-ive merits ; and as an incitement, he will stake hispatent right for Indiana, (some sour or five coun-ties excepted,) against the right for the same ter-

ritory to any other brick machine now patented;a forfeiture to be made of the one pronounced ofthe least merit, and a regular, legal deed of the1

nghtgiven. The test to be made by the fair andsgeneral operations and estimated yearly products,!in comparison to cost, of two of the best constructed machines, (one of each kind,) in the UnitedStates: the machines and judges to be selectedby the patentees. In arriving at a conclusion,the solidity, weight, perfectness of corners andedges, durability, nnperviousness to weather, sire,and water, as well as the geneial quality of thebricks through the kiln, and the expense of manu-

facturing, shall be considered.The foregoing will remain open thirty days for

the acceplance of any one disposed to offer.

(Relict of the late James Ueney Wallace,) amuch respected member of the Methodist C.Church in this City .

She has lest this world of sorrow ,Joying in the endless bloom

Of those scenes, from whence we borrowAll our hopes of Blnjstp come.

Brightly shining, swetyfTngiug,To the praises of the Lamb;

Harps and seraph's voices ringing,Hallelujahs to his name.

Blooming health, and pheerful spiiits,In her features lately shone;

Friendship chose her for her merits,Asa vot'ry of her ow"n.

Charity her heart expanded ;Oft by noble actions nror'ri:

jf Deity her life commanded,All the sold or Hod she liv'd

Talents highly cultivated,She to useful knowledge joined;

Ne'er with trifles captivated, (All admired her strength of mind.

Much beloved by all respected,Mourning friends deplore her loss;

Relatives and friends dejected, wNone will hnd to sill her place.

Agonizing ere the hours 'Of her last sojourning here;

Pain almost beyond the poweis t. Of endurance tortured her; f

Struggling nature soon gave over,She in seeming slumber sell ;

Waking, wond'ring, she'll discoverWorlds where Saints immortal d w ell

Waking in a world of please,llei lost Hervey meets her siht ;

There is her unfading treasure,In the realms of pure delight

Happy, Oh! thfice happy Spun'How delightful, new and strange,

The pure bliss thou shah inherit,In a world which catinul change
