Mr. Rusu, who has accepted the office of
Secretary Of the Treasury, is expected
home. we understand, in week or two.


(athoHc EmanoWahon.--lt appears, by
late intelligence from London, that the Cath
olc emancipation bill has been carried in the
house of Commons, by majority OF twenty
seven. The result, it is said, produced loud
cheering in the house, from the members OF
The opposition. The paper adds, that the
majority was less than expected; and con-
siderable doubt was entertained, whether the
bill would pass the Upper House,


A gentleman residing in Chester county,
personally informed US a few days ago, that
in his neighbourhood, he had never seen the
grain in a more thriving condition. His own
7vheat lots, if circumstances continued Ia
vourable, he believed, would produce this
season, t7vicc as much as they were ever
known to yield. In other parts OF the
Country, quite as pleasing accounts are dai-
" received. The following is from the Ma
tiona Intelligencer:


"a gentleman, whose business lately called
him through Virginia, in the counties OF shenan-
,loah, Culpeper, Madison, Rockingham, Angus
ia, Rockbrdge, Botctourt, Bedford, Franklin,
Monroe, Greenbriar, Giles, and Montgomery,
and on his return, through Faquler, Louden, and
Fairfax, informs us that he has never, although
he has often traversed the same range OF coun,
try at about the same period of year, witnessed
more cheering prospect to the labour OF the
farmer The ravages of the fly were no where
complained Of, except as he approached TIM
city, in Louden and Fairfax; and grain had at
tanned size that seemed to Danish almost al
apprehension of danger about It: lie heart
also equally gratifying accounts OF many othe
parts of the state, which he did not himself pas
through"


Death Of General Ar1utoSh.--Snce thu
death of this chief, various speculations have
been circulating in the public prints, relative
to its cause In the Wilmingtonian of th'
l9h ult, We extracted an article from tn
National Journal, in which it is suppose,
that the Indians were persuaded to this &C
by a white man who is among them" Ihl
statement, however, as has since been ascer
tanned, is without foundation. A writer in til
South Carolina State Gazette, places tn
affair in such light, that every mind, W
think, uninnucnced by prejudice. must b
convinced, that the circumstances which lc

will, however, give an extract with fe
the writer's creditable facts;" in orde
that the reader may arrive at the same cor
