It is the riot of negroes I which took place some time ago in St.

Inigoes, in St. Mary's county. The circumstances of it as nearly as I have been able to learn are as follows. It is customary for the slaves, immediately after the church fast and festival days to have two or three holidays for their recreation. On Easter Monday the 7th of April about 300 negroes bond and free are said to have been collected.

After having spent the day in festive amusements peculiar to themselves they became so noisy and riotous, that the civil authority was deemed necessary in order to queil them. The constable, more zealous than wise, fell upon them and began to belabour them most unmercifully with a ponderous shillala. But his temerity had like to have cost trim' dear. The poor slaves, now at peace with the purple god, to whom, in the course of the day they had poured out many a generous libation, and happy in themselves, felt little inclination to see that felicity, which they knew must be but momentary, receive a check. Indignation seized the sable throng, and in the transpoi of their rage the relation of master and servant was forgotten.

They vowed revenge, anil the patriotic constable found it necessary to take himself off. They sought him, but being disappointed in the search, wreaked their vengeance on his domicile. His windows were shivered and some of his doors broken. One or two other houses were visited with the same fate. At length night dispersed the intoxicated multitude.

This was the end, now mark the issue of this affair. It but ill corresponds with so comical a prologue. Fourteen of the ring leaders of the mob were lately brought beore the county Court for trial on an indictment summed up under the following heads, viz. Riot, insurrection, and assault with intention to murder." Eight were acquitted, one was sentenced to the penitentiary for ten years, and five were condemned to DEATH. The sentence of the law was not put in execution, nor do I know when it will be.

Siiould it be thought that the good people of the North will be edified by learning with what facility the wretched descendants of Ham can here obtain a passport from a world, where degradation a' bondage aro their portion, to a world they know nothing of, are at liberty to give publication to this account."

Progress of the President.

The Boston Centinel of the 2nd ins. which is the latest paper we have received from that place, states that the President of the United States was then in the vicinity of Boston, and was expected to make his entrance into that metropolis on the forenoon of that day. The President was at Dedham at 7 o'clock of the same morning and had reviewed the troops in that town. Splendid preparations were making for his reception in Boston. The English East India merchants rule a country containing sixty millions of souls.

I jeci3 of this kind, and who might naturally be supposed not to be partial to Ameri- can Literature, nave, acknowledged to the writer of this article that there was no publication of the kind in Great-Britain, in the years 1 802-3 that could bear a comparison with the Port-Folio. Yet Mr. Dennie in a prospectus to a new series of that work published some time after the period above mentioned uttered the following complaint "Hitherto the success of the Port Folio has been of no brilliant complexion. Commenced at a sinister epoch, and pushed thro' all the thorns of perplexity, exposed to all the cavils of party, though pure of any but honest purposes, and neglected in consequence of the bad health and misfortunes of the editor, ill supported and worse paid, still he makes it a point of honour never to abandon it ingloriously." Altho' the bad health and misfortunes, which are thus bewailed, were probably to be attributed in a great measure to the labour, anxiety and pecuniary embarrassments, in which the editor was involved in prosecuting that work, he did not "abandon it ingloriously but if wc are correcdy informed, even in the last stages of his existence continued to form projects and cherish hopes of rendering the Port Folio still more useful and worthy of public patronage than it ever had been in any part of its career. Since the decease of Mr Dennic the Port Folio has been conducted by several successive editors, and has given favorable specimens of American talents.

Still however, we have iterations of the complaints want of patronage, dilatory payments, and earnest solicitations for literary aid. It is to be hoped, however, that it will proceed and prosper. Mr. Walsh has lesumed his literary labours and publishes a work styled the Amerrican Register," of which we gave some notice in our last. Indeed the prospects presented to literary laborers, though not of the most brilliant nature are somewhat brighter than they have been.

The faculties of the American public have been almost exclusively occupied in political discussions. The furies of political discord have haunted the temple of the Muses, and the Lyre of Apollo has been tuned to the mad jangle" of party bickering. The fever of party politks however, it is hoped has past the c.isis the pa'ients have iucid intervals, and when our Legislatures are not in session, and there is no important election on the tapis, the voice of reason, the monitions of wisdom and the lessons of literature may meet with more marked attention. These considerations will, we hope, induce the conductors of the Middlebury i Repertory to make fur ther efforts for the continuance of the work. We will pledge such aid as our humble sphere, limited means, and feeble talents can furnish.

A regard to the interests of literature and science will, it is hoped induce men and mind" to contribute to its support the fruits of intellectual cultivation. Men of property we would address in behalf of this publication in the words of Mr. Dennie Literary industry, usefully employed, has a sort of draught on the bank of opulence. When to government, or to individuals it renders actual service, givesjharmless pleas ure to some, and new ideas to others, it confers at least a species of obligation, which any code of ethical precept will teach men to repay." In consequence of a change of residence, and some mistake in the transmission of the Middlebury Repertory we have not received the whole series, and such as have come to hand induce us to regret that our file is not complete. The "Letters from by Professor Hall, have amtised and instructed us.

"Trips to Paris'' are of frequent occurrence in English periodical publications, but professor Hall's "Modern Paris," appears to us superiour, as regards the style and the sentiment, to any thing of the kind we have seen. The historical sketches, moral reflections, philosophical remarks, scientific investigations, and original anecdotes of celebrated characters, with which the work every where abounds, would have given it sterling value, had it been of London impression. We hope it will yet be extensively current in the U. S. and that the stamp of a foreign mint will not always be necessary to give literary bullion a circulation among native Americans.

The Repertory contains a number of other original articles of merit, which we propose to make the subjects of further remarks in some 'future number of this paper. For the Vermont Intelligencer.

C.L.ROCKWOOD,P.M. WTELLIGEJVCMR. BELLOWS FALLS, JULY 7, 1817. Middlebury Literary and Philosophical Repertory. In our last we gave a brief notice of this publication, and expressed our regret on perceivir.ix in its Address to Readers and Correspondents," some doubts expressed relative to its continuance.

We hope, however, that this apprehension will not be realized, but that the purses, and the pens of men of wealth, taste and talonts, will prevent a literary work of merit irom failing for want of either pecuniary cr literary support. We have from time to time observed, with much solicitude for the welfare and reputation of our country, that periodical publications devoted to literature, science, and the arts, have ncl flourished in the U-nited States. Some works of this kind have been commenced with fair prospects have been conducted with ability, and were replete with information, which we have thought of importance to the pliilo-pher, the statesman, the moralist, and indeed to every friend to civilized society. Still they have generally enjoyed merely a feeble and ephemeral existence Wc shall not attempt to advert to all the instances of this sort, which might be adduced to coiifirm our assertion. There are some, however, which -we cannot pass in silence.

Mr. Walsh's American Review of History and Politics" was a work of vhich every might justly be proud. The conductor was an able writer, and his literary productions give evidence of a nvind vigorous, capacious and richly, endowed from the stores of ancient and modern literature. Mr. Walsh's literary acquisitions must entitle him to rank, high in the most elevated circles of European literati.

As a critic, howeFer, we thought him in some instances unjustifiably severe. His remarks upon "Hubert and Ellen with other Poems, by Lucius M. Sargent," appear to us rather calculated to blast than to cherish the flowers of American literature. Still the work was a splendid spe-men of American talents. But from some cause or other, it was discontinued, we believe in something short of two years from its commencement.

During its progress the conductor called in vain on the literary men of the country for the assistance which can alone impart that variety to a periodical publication, requisite to interest and a-muse a great number of readers. The "Portico," a literary and scientific work, published in Baltimore, and which is applauded by adequate judges of all parties, it is said languishes, and seems likely to fail for want of support." In Boston, efforts have been repeatedly made to establish a literary paper, but they have hitherto been rewarded with but little success. We sincerely hope that the Boston Weekly Magazine" (from which we have extracted the first article in this day's paper) will meet with a better fate than its predecessors. The Port Folio," the oldest periodical work of a literary kind in the United States has often appeared to be on the verge of dissolution. This work while conducted by Mr.

Dennic, though perhaps not without its blemishes, and in our opinion a little tinctured with high church and state politics, was held in great estimation by adequate judges of literary merit as Well in Great Britain as America. We have heard literary men in London and Liverpool speak in terms of no common eulogy of the Port Folio, while conducted by Mr. Deimie. A-mong others, Mr. GifTbrd, author of the Baviad" and Maviad" Translation of Juvenal," and who we believe is nbw one of the principal writers in the English Quarterly Review," and Dr.

Currie, of Liverpool, (since deceased.) a gentleman of great literary and scientific eminence have in our hearing expressed a very high opinion of that work. Gentlemen in London, who were qualified to judge in sub- Canal Loan.
