We cannot but hope that no reduction will be made in the ranks of the army. It is by physical force alone, and by a proper display of it, that we must expect to keep within reasonable bounds, the ardent, restless and discontented savages, by whom this whole country is filled and surrounded. Few persons living at a distance, are aware of the means which are used, and too successfully used by the British agents, to embitter the minds of the Indians, and preserve such an influence over them, as will ensure their co-operation, in the event of any future difficulties. A post at the Fond du Lac, will, before long, be necessary, and it is now proper that one should be established at the portage between the Fox and Quisconsin rivers. Mr. Schoolcraft has examined the geological structure of the country, and has explored, as far practicable, its mineralogical treasures.-We are happy to learn, that this department could not have been confided to one more able or zealous to effect the objects connected with it.

The owner, whoever he may be, would not have cast his money on the waters; nor would the takers or plunderers of the chest have voluntarily parted with this valuable portion of their prey. The ejection cannot, with any tolerable plausibility, be considered as a voluntary abandonment, so as to entitle the finders to the benefit of the absolute rule of occupants fiunt derelicta; if even that definition of derelict had not been long exploded from the codes of maritime laws, the supplementary libel, claiming the whole, as derelict, under a rule which does not now exist, must be dismissed. This must be considered as a case of salvage, subject to the principles established on that subject. These principles I have long ago settled in this court; they may be seen in several cases published in the admiralty decisions, and they need not be here repeated. A case, decided by judge Johnson, in 1816, in the circuit court of the United States, for the South Carolina district, Fisher, et al, vs. the Sybile, confirms the views on the subjects of derelict and salvage, which I have long entertained, and is an able and clear exposition of the modern law We understand that copper, iron and lead are respecting them.

Upon this, as well as upon other subjects, we hope we shall, in a few days, be able to communicate more detailed information. Law Case Salvage. From Poulson's American Daily Advertiser. In the district court of the United States, in and for the eastern district of Pennsylvania. Levi Hollingsworth and son and Jonathan Ogden, owners of the ship Jane, Frederick S, Luburg, master, and James Fairfowl, first mate, and others, the officers and crew of the said ship, versus Seventy doubloons and three small pieces of gold, each of the value of an eighth part of a doubloon. DECREE. The gold in question was discovered when the ship arrived in Philadelphia, in the remnants of an old chest, which had been broken up in the river Delaware, on the voyage from Lisbon, and the pieces had been thrown into the long boat. This chest was found floating on the ocean, after the vessel had been thirty-four days at sea, in lat. 38, 24, N. and long. 52, 28. It was supposed to be empty, but the gold was found concealed in grooves or interstices of the chest. No marks were seen on the chest. The remnants I have directed to be lodged in the clerk's office, for inspection, should any owner hereafter appear, The vessel was almost becalmed when the chest was discovered, she going only a knot or a knot and a half an hour, at the time, Some ineffectual at tempts were made to secure the chest with a harpoon. On their failure, one of the libellants, a ma. riner, (Benthal) jumped overboard, and made a Pope fast to the chest by which it was hauled in. This is a case of little merit, as it regards danger, delay, or any impediment to the progress of the voyage of the ship, nor was there any great exer tion or labor of the ship's officers or crew in the salvage, Benthal had the most of any risk or exertion, in the securing of the chest. How or when it had been abandoned to the waves cannot appear, and is left to mere conjecture. It would seem that it had contained articles which had been taken out any discussion on my part. The chance of the owner was indeed hopeless. He may not have recovered his property, unless through the accidental occurrence which has brought it within the power of this court, whose duty it is as well to reward sailors, as to take care of the property of owners, and afford them an opportunity of recovery. The sailors must stand on their own merits, without regard to the hopelessness of recovery by the owner. There is no distinction favora ble to the finders of money—on the contrary, the maritime codes assign less salvage to those who find money, jewels, and other articles of such intrinsic value, but of less difficulty in saving or transporting. The only reason for any comparative advantage te such salvors, would be to encourage the disclosure of the finding, where concealment might be so easy, by a combination to secrete it, and thus, taking human propensities as we too often observe them, to reward overt acts of integrity, where covert mal. versation might have been, and, no doubt, often is, practised. The quantum of salvage is not fixed by. any general rule, but depends on the circumstances of every case. I confess, the discretion I am often obliged to exercise, is sometimes embarrassing; in this case it is not easy to determine what is exactly right. I find by some authorities produced, and in some of the old maritime laws, that half the amount of the derelict has been given in many instances; much depends on the gross amount, for where that is large, I always give the less proportion, and thus sufficiently reward salvors, without an undue sacri、 fice by the owners, and I have concluded to allow half in this case, as the whole is not of great amount, and the establishment of a legal olaim but slightly probable. I decree the salvages allowed, (the costs and charges being deducted from the whole amount) to be distributed as follows: The owners are to receive one third of the salvage. The residue is to be divided among the officers and crew of the ship, in the manner and in like proportion as in the case of the Cato, decided in this court, save that the part to be divided among the mariners, carpenter, steward and cook, shall be so allotted that Benthal shall receive two shares; the " whole being divided into equal parts, and an extra the condition which you required through lady share calculated upon; i. e. one is to be added to the actual numbers. Let a decree, in the usual form, be drawn on these principles. The remaining half of the balance of the whole is to remain in this court, deposited in bank according to the practice of this court, and the late law in affirmance of it, for the period of one year and a day, subject to any legal claims of the owner or owners; and if no such claims be interposed, the moneys remaining in court are to be disposed of agreeably to its future order and decree.

The Statesman says, that there has been as great variety among the journalists in regard to the queen's exclamation, as to the question which accompanied it, and the impression which it conveyed. The identical word which she made use of on the memorable occasion of her recognizing Majoc ci, was "Tradidore!" (traitor!) not Theodore. Majocci on his first cross-examination, was asked "Did you ever write a letter to be taken either to *The substance of this letter had been previously Upon the receipt of the message alluded to in conveyed in a message through lord Cholmondeley the foregoing note, her royal highness, though she to her royal highness.

On his examination on Thursday, being asked "How long were you in England the first time you came over, It appears from the cross-examination of V. Garwhen you lived with Mr. Hyatt, at Gloucester?"

The father and brother of Theodore Majocci, as well as himself, are stated to have the actual receipt of large sums from the British government--and it is said that pensions for life have been settled upon them all! It appears that several of the witnesses were ordered by their sovereigns to proceed to England to testify against the queen!--and that they will make their fortunes by it. Majocci's testimony, including the amounts paid to his father, brother, wife, &c. costs at the rate of 5000 dollars a year, besides their expenses! He received, when in the service of the queen, 12 dollars per month. The rest of the witnesses are paid at similar rates. The London Traveller of the 24th of August, observes, "We are happy in being able to assure our readers that her majesty has, so late as this morning, expressed to her immediate friends the most per fect confidence that she will be able to establish her innocence, and to triumph over the third, as she has already done over the first and second conspiracies against her honor." The number of witnesses intended to be examined against the queen, are, it is understood, 132. The expense of the queen's trial will be 200,0001. at the lowest, besides 50,000 for the queen's expense. This sum, which is thrown away upon Italians, would endow fifty hospitals in England, or it would enable 20,000 of our suffering population to emigrate, and to relieve themselves and the mother country. It would provide 50,000 persons for a whole year; or, applied to the payment of debts, release from prison at least 5,000 unfortunate men, who might thus be restored to the pursuit of industry in the bosom of their families. Mahomet, who did such disgusting and odious things in the presence of the queen that they could not be mentioned, it now seems only performed some lascivious dances. The king himself could have instructed Mahomet in things of this sort; his Otaheitean dances of former days, are famous--and in these men and women were engaged.

The Liverpool Mercury, of Sept. 1st, gives a sketch of the apartments on board the vessel in which her royal highness took her passage to Tu. nis and the Holy Land. They are separated in such a manner as to make it apparent that she could be alone and unobserved in them whenever she chose. One of the queen's great opponents in the house of lords, is the marquis of Anglesea, lately the famous lord Paget, who seduced and carried off his brother's wife, the mother of several children. Much enthusiasm was exhibited in many parts of England in behalf of the queen. In some towns, processions had been got up and emblems carried in honor of her majesty. The passengers who have arrived at New-York, say that the queen had gained ground in England, arising from the nature of the evidence against her, much of which, it is stated, would not bear cross examination. It has been decided by the Presbytery, that the The lord chancellor has given his opinion, which Rev: Mr. Gillespie, who was arrested for praying for has been confirmed by the other judges, that in case the queen, had done nothing to merit such treat. witnesses swear falsely on the investigation con-ment.

The "Times" contrasts the "filthy details to England. of Italian witnesses" on one side, and the affection Jane Barbara Kreeze, of the inn at Carlsruhe, a late addresses of British subjects on the other; and adds, “The morals of the nation may be injured by the daily reports in the journals, but its faith cannot be shaken. It is too well known what her majesty suffered before from a conspiracy against her life as well as honor." The following may serve as a specimen of the manner of the queen's replies to the numerous addresses which are still presented to her: "I am much gratified by this affectionate address from the citizens and inhabitants of the ancient and loyal city of Worcester. most wicked and corrupt government that ever existed.

"The present procedure against me in the house of lords, is of such an extraordinary character, that it is difficult to designate it by any appropriate Lord Nelson and an Italian witness.

The Baltimore Federal Republican well observes, "Unmaking queens we should suppose a danger ous operation, for a king to promote. The minis ter of a prince, if we recollect right, of Italy, insisting too pertinaciously upon some small matter of form, was rebuked by his master, who told him it wasa mere ceremony. The minister replied, "ceremonies are of the highest importance to your majesty, who ought to recollect that you are nothing more than a ceremony yourself." The same charge which is preferred against the queen, might be more satisfactorily proved against the king. If the example is set of degrading her from her station, for that cause, what is to prevent lord Gray or lord Holland from moving an amend. ment to include the husband in the same bill with the wife? No greater stretch of power is necessary in one case than the other." Several of the London papers have positively asserted, (and it has not been denied), that some of the state apartments in the tower are fitting up in an elegant manner, with bedding and other furniture; and it is inferred that ministers, anticipating the conviction of the queen, are preparing rooms to confine her in. We doubt their ability to imprison her. The attempt may lead to "a consummation devoutly to be wished"-the destruction of the Mr. Brougham was several times called to order,he pressed the witness very closely. Majocci said he had been dismissed on his own account, and received a certificate of his good character from a person named Scavini, with the queen's seal affixed; but this was not admitted, because the seal might have been affixed without her knowledge. Many questions were put by different lords: after which the the second witness, Gaetano Paturzo was brought forward [This witness is the captain of the vessel in which the queen made her voyage up the Mediterranean. His evidence relates chiefly to the familiarities be tween her majesty and Bergami, and was corroborative of the testimony of Theodore.] Aug. 24. Vicenzo Guergilo, the owner of the polacre which the queen hired for her voyages in the Mediterranean, was next called. He spoke of the disposition of the cabins of the queen and Bergami-he thought, if the doors were open, a person in one bed might see another in the other. He gave an account of the tent placed on the deck of the vessel; the queen slept on a sofa, and R. slept under the same tent. It was his business to close up the tent at night. He had seen the parties lying on their own beds; when the princess took a bath Bergami went below, but of this he knew nothing more. He had seen the parties sitting together frequently, and kissing one another more than once. They dined together, and sometimes William Aus-know whether B. was undressed or not, when the tin dined with them.

Mr. Brougham reserved his cross-examination, and only put a few questions now-it appeared that this woman had never been married, that she had been ordered to come to England by the minister of Baden, and that her expenses were paid. Majocci was called in again and examined as to his having resided at Gloucester. He had lived there with Mr. Hyatt. He denied that he had ever said that the queen was a prudent woman, or that he had been offered a compensation if he would become a witness against her, &c. He did not recollect how long he had lived with Mr. Hyatt. The next witness was F. di Rollo, who had been the queen's cook two years--he simply testified that he had seen the queen and Bergami under the same tent on board the polacre in the evening, and and sometimes saw B. come from under it in the morning. Aug. 25 & 26. The examination of di Rollo was resumed. He had frequently seen the parties arm in arm - at Tunis he saw B. come out of the queen's bed chamber, but was attired, except that he had on a robe de chambre. He thought that, on this occasion B's bed had not been slept upon. He had a dispute with B. before he left the queen's service. He had himself received a hurt, and was kindly treated by the queen, who visited him in his own chamber. Aug. 28. This day (Monday) was spent in a debate on the mode proper to be adopted in the cros2examination of witnesses. Aug. 29. Barbara Kreese was again called-her cross-examination (which we have not seen at length) is said to have diminished the force of her former deposition. Guisseppa Bianchi was next examined, and testified to the fact of the gold neck lace, which the queen put round the neck of Bergami. He was ordered to this country to give testimony in the case. Paulo Raggazoni was put to the bar. He was a mason emploped to do work at the Villa d' Este He had seen the queen and Bergami in a canoe on the lake-he saw the parties pushing each other about in a chair which had wheels to it, and they walked in the garden alone, arm in arm.

The bed assigned to Bergami did not appear as if it had been slept on. Jane Barbara Kreese, was next called-she was chamber-maid at an inn in Carlsruhe when the queen stopped there. The rooms of the parties communicated with each other by the dining room.

Louisa Dumont, who had been first femme de chambre to the queen, was next called, and great importance was attached to what she was expected to relate. She was profusely decorated with flounces and feathers, and advanced to the bar with the greatest confidence-"even the penetrating eye of Mr. Brougham, who eyed her from top to toe," had no effect on her.
