We are glad to learn that the Salem Mill-Dam Corporation have finally agreed to carry on the interesting works, for which the company was originally instituted. The question was taken, on Thursday week last, in a full meeting of the Stockholders, and determined as follows: yeas 1036, nays 581, according to the number of shares; but the persons who voted in the affirmative were 320, those in the negative forty-five only. A large committee was then appointed to prosecute the business of the Corporation with as much despatch as possible. The Legislature of Vermont have re-elected Horatio Seymour a Senator to Congress for six years, from the 4th of March next. This gentleman is what is now called an administration man. The votes stood as follow: For Mr. Seymour, 117. There are some remarks in the Boston Gazette, relating to out militia laws, and the military duties, maintainance of those who are callwould be equalizing the obligation ed upon to perform the duty. This of public duty, in the only way in which it is, perhaps,susceptible. It embraces a principle, none can reasonably dispute,that those who are protected should pay the expense of protection. As the system now stands, it is precisely that class, of citizens who are the least able to bear the expenses of frequent training to say nothing of fatigue and lost time, that are called upon to make the sacrificel while the other classes, most able to do so, are not only exempt from this tax, but from all the hardships and expenses attending the service. "Can these things be, and 'scape our special wonder?" Gen. Bernand is now engaged in the surveys of three distinct routes for a convenient and permanent Mail Road, from, Philadelphia to Baltimore. This has been much wanted, as there is probably, not, at this moment, so wretched a piece of mail road, of equal extent, in the U.States,as the one now about to be mended, or abandoned for a new and more safe and convenient one. A correspondent of the National Intelligencer says, that in the Capitel at Washington, there is a Whispering Gallery equal in effect to that of St. Paul's, in London. The diameter of the Dome of St. Paul's is 100 feet, that of the Rotunda in the Capitol 96 feet. The whole Fire Department it is said, are to be called out in a few days, for the purpose of drill and inspection, on the Common. It will be a pleasing and useful exhibition. There were three fine oxen exhibited at Brighton, on Wednesday last, of only 6 years old, weighing 2,305, 2400 and 2450. They were raised at New-Braintree. PRESIDENT'S VISIT TO Newport. President ADAMS arrived at Newport on Friday evening last week, and on Saturday morning visited the public works now erecting in the harbour, the Redwood Library, Lace School, &c.

Titles Abolished.-The Mexican congress have passed a decree abolishing forever all titles of nobility; such as Count, Marquis, &c. that all persons shall be considered as equal by nature whatever may be their origin. DESCRIPTION OF THE GREEK CABINET. -- Mr Emerson, in his Picture of Greece in 1825, gives the following description of the Greek Cabinet:I was this morning presented by the Minister of War to the members of the executive body. Their present residence is a very large Turkish house, near the walls; the ground floor of which is a stable, the seond story a barrack, and the third, cthe office-bureau of the Grecian Government, a plain small room, surrounded by a divan and ornamented by a large French chart of Greece and the islands: here, round a plain deal table, covered with papers, sat the few desendants of Themistocles and Epaminondas, to whom was entrusted the regeneration of the lost land of gods and godlike men."

INSTALLATION On Wednesday last, the New Church, in Green-street, was dedicated to the service of Almighty God in due and solemn ceremony; and the Rev. Dr. JENKS installed, with the most appropriate rites, as its Pastor. The introductory prayer was pronounced by the Rev. Mr. Fay, of Charlestown; the Dedicatory address by Rev.

Dr. Beecher; the address to the Church and People by Rev. Mr Wisner; and the concluding Prayer by Rev Mr. Green, of Boston.

From the N. H. Patriot. Buffalo, N. Y. Aug. 4. 1826. The events of the late war on this frontier are to me matters of a much more prominent interest than the stupendous curiosities of nature. I have passed over the ground from Newark to Fort Erie on the Canada side, and visited Niagara Fort, Lewiston, and the other interesting points on this side, between the two Lakes. The battles of Chippewa and Lundy's Lane, and the defence and sortie from Fort Erie, will be long recollected, if not as giving the Americans the most decisive Victories, as establishing for them a lasting character for determined intrepidity. The ground of these several rencounters is sacred to the recollection of Americans; and while the British have erected a monument to the memory of one of their heroes who was killed on this frontier, that will serve as a constant memento of those of our country who fell in the battle, and whose dust, mingled with that of the surrounding fields, needs no other monument to perpetuate their fame. wounded man on the field.

The plains of Chippewa are a level extending from where the river of that name unites with the Niagara river about one mile above Niagara falls. In front of these plains and near the mouth of the Chippewa was the fort occupied bying their fort, crossing and blowing the British; directly in the rear of this fort was a bridge over the river. The American line of march was on the road leading down the Niagara river,their right upon the river, and their left flanked by a piece of low ground covered with wood. The action commenced about three miles above the falls of Niagara, the British having advanced to meet the Americans about one mile from the fort: the first firing was in the woods on the left of the American || line, and resulted in the retreat of a small part of the Americans under Capt. Treat, who shamefully left a VOL. IL Gen. Drumfought July 5, 1813. mond commanded the English forces; Gen. Brown the Americans.
